Chapter 188 Another Pirate, Telescope
Chapter 188 There is another pirate, Qianli Mirror
"Bang!"
Before he finished speaking, suddenly, a dull gunshot came from afar.
The gunshots came from the southwest, and there was the direction of Tiger Beach.
Zhang Zhun's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "You go back first, I have something to do!"
After saying that, he hurried to the southwest.
Chen Lingfei looked at him suspiciously, a little confused.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, another gunshot came.
This time, Chen Lingfei finally heard a little smell.
It seemed like the sound of a musket.
Could it be that something happened?
That's right, something happened!
When Zhang Zhun heard the gunshots, he keenly realized that there was danger coming closer.
Although the guards and navy forces were on two days off and most of the soldiers could go home to reunite with their relatives, the sentry arranged by Zhang Zhun was more than twice as many as before. Especially on the beach, there was a sentry almost every three miles, closely monitoring the movements at the sea.
The geographical location of Fushan City determines that the enemy wants to attack from land, which is absolutely impossible. A white sand river is an obstacle that the enemy cannot overcome. Therefore, the sudden danger can only come from the sea. In order to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival safely, Zhang Zhun arranged many bright and lurking whistles on the shore. If you find danger, you will immediately fire a gun to warn.
The two gunshots just now came from the location of Laohutan. Zhang Zhun quickly arrived at Laohutan and found that a person was moving a little faster than him. This person was Dugu Lie. Because Dugu Lie was lonely and had no relatives on the Fushan Station, he stayed in the military camp on the festival. In the guards, there were twenty or thirty people like him who were helpless. They gathered together to celebrate the festival, which was pleasant. At the same time, they were also the main force on the battle duty. Hearing the gunshots, Dugu Lie rushed to the sentry with his speed of passing by.
Behind Dugu Lie, Wu Qingliang led a team on duty, with a total of fifty soldiers, and arrived at a very fast speed. The one who fired a gun to warn was the lurking whistle of Laohutan. Zhang Zhun came to the sentry and quickly figured out the situation.
Pirates appeared again on the sea!
Looking out along the sentry's finger, Zhang Zhun saw a pirate ship, which was anchored on the sea about three or four miles away from the coast. Because the distance is relatively long, it is impossible to tell which pirates are. The only thing that is certain is that pirates are definitely not good. At the same time, the target of the pirates must be Fushan South.
"well done!"
Zhang Zhun praised the sentinel for a few words.
Judging from the location of the pirate ship's docking, it should have come from other places. It is not clear that the two ports, Partridge Bay and Heilong Bay, exist. According to Zhang Zhun's visual observation, the size of the pirate ship is quite large, so it is impossible to dock directly. If the pirates want to dock, they must transfer to a small sampan. Change to a sampan and land near the shore. It will take some time during this period, which is enough for the guard to react.
According to the previous order, as soon as the gunshot sounded, Yang Zhiyuan, Hao Linyong and others would quickly gather the troops, and the other soldiers would return to the military camp in the shortest time. This process would take about half an hour. Zhang Zhun was confident that he could win it. There were dozens of tiger guns waiting for the pirates, so the pirates could not imagine that they could quickly get ashore.
Zhang Zhun ordered Wu Qingliang to command the soldiers to disperse and expand the range as much as possible. At the same time, this was also to create an illusion of large numbers. Amid the chaotic gunfire, the pirates may not be able to tell how many people there were in the defenders. As long as they hesitate a little, the main force of the guards could arrive quickly.
"If the pirates try to log in, they can shoot as long as they enter the range."
Zhang Zhun gave clear instructions.
"clear!"
Wu Qingliang agreed.
His team was responsible for the combat duty. It was boring, but unexpectedly, there was still this thing. It just happened to pass the time. Well, since he eliminated more than 200 Tartars, the soldiers of the guards did not take pirates seriously. How powerful are pirates? They are not as powerful as Tartars? Therefore, everyone is full of confidence in the upcoming battle.
"Sir, we're here!"
"Request a combat mission!"
Soon, Zhang Youcai also arrived with his team.
Zhang Youcai succeeded Yang Junjie, who died unfortunately, as the team leader, and was also one of the two teams on duty. However, their warning direction was in Jimo County. Therefore, they arrived at Laohutan a little later.
Zhang Zhun nodded and ordered Zhang Youcai's team to spread along the river beach. As long as the pirates appear within the range of the Hu Ben gun, they can shoot. Two squads were monitoring the pirates on the shore, and Zhang Zhun's heart was basically put down.
After appointing Wu Qingliang as the front line, Zhang Zhun returned to Yangjiatun. He needed to issue orders through the Shengxiazong to stabilize people's hearts. Today was a festival, and he wanted to give the villagers a festive atmosphere. If he was disrupted by these pirates, he would not achieve his goal. Of course, if the pirates were very strong and the Fushan Institute wanted everyone to be soldiers, Zhang Zhun would not hesitate at all. However, there was only one pirate ship, so everyone should not be soldiers.
Yang Kaide was waiting for him at the door. He also heard the news from the shore and guessed that something might have happened. Old Man Chen Guoxi also came over, and the old man also heard the gunshots. There were also many military households in Yangjiatun. They all stood outside their doors and looked at Zhang Zhun curiously, wanting to know what happened. Yang Kaide asked with concern: "Yu Lin, what's going on?"
Zhang Zhun said coldly: "It seems that someone is preparing to let us have an unhappy Mid-Autumn Festival."
After that, I will talk about the pirate ship approaching.
Chen Guoxi couldn't help but curse: "These damn pirates are really uneasy!"
Yang Kaide said: "Yulin, do you need us to do anything?"
Zhang Zhun nodded and said calmly: "Tell everyone the actual situation, so that everyone should not be panicked, and don't go to Yangjiatun to watch the fun. The guards can handle the matter here. For safety reasons, the elders and villagers in Yangjiatun can temporarily leave for a while. Of course, you can also stay here. However, you cannot run around and spread rumors. When necessary, Shengxia Zong must come forward to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation and taking advantage of the situation and taking advantage of the troubled waters."
He then made a clear request that the members of the Shengxia Sect should work hard to stabilize the emotions of the villagers. Especially not spread rumors randomly. If someone is found to spread rumors, they should stop them in time and even take necessary control measures. There is nothing scary about pirates, and the guards have eliminated pirates. Even the Tartars are not the opponents of the guards, and they are still afraid of small pirates? Therefore, except for the relevant armed personnel, what should others do?
Yang Kaide and Chen Guoxi both agreed to go.
Soon, the members of the Shengxia Sect took action quickly. The Shengxia Sect's organizational system was absolutely rigorous and efficient. With their efforts, everything in Fushan City seemed quite calm. As Zhang Zhun said, what should be done? As for the rumors, they did not appear from beginning to end.
Only those soldiers who were in a state of rest were quickly called back to the military camp. Yang Zhiyuan, Hao Linyong, Yang Zixuan and other officers all returned to the military camp at the first time to organize the troops. I heard that the pirates were coming, and many soldiers hated them. During the holidays, there were pirates coming to make trouble. It was really hateful. Although I don’t know who those pirate ships belong to for the time being, everyone has already hated them to the core.
"Hurry up!"
"Don't be slow!"
"Bring enough ammunition!"
Zhiyuan Yang shouted loudly, reminding the soldiers of relevant precautions.
Soon, all the soldiers of the guards were ready and arrived at Laohutan with full armour. A total of nine squads of soldiers were all in place, and none of them were absent. The guerrillas and the armed forces were also ready for combat and provided combat support at any time. The assembly of the sailors took a little longer. Because the Quail Bay Naval Base was still a little far from Fushan City.
At this time, the pirates were transferring to the sampan and their movements were not very fast. The pirates probably didn't care much about Fushan. Judging from their movements, they didn't seem to be in a fierce battle. Even, you can vaguely see that the cannon windows of the pirate ship were not completely opened.
Shen Lingfei, Xue Zhidie and others stood far behind the tiger beach, looking at the southern sea with some concern. The place where they stood was quite far from the beach, and there was no danger. The heart, which was originally a little nervous, gradually became quiet as the soldiers of the guard team entered the battle post and gradually became quiet.
Xue Zhidie looked at the somewhat blurred sea and said in a pondering voice: "Feifei, have you come from Jiangnan? Have you ever met them? Are they Liu Xiang's people?"
Shen Lingfei shook her head and said, "It shouldn't be. I didn't meet them when I was at sea. In June this year, Zheng Zhilong and Liu Xiang fought a battle, and the battle was quite tragic. Liu Xiang suffered a lot of losses. At least a dozen gunships were destroyed and could not fight anymore. He was driven to Guangdong. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be Liu Xiang's person!"
Xue Zhidie frowned slightly and said with some concern: "Since it's not Liu Xiang, is it Zheng Zhilong's person? There seems to be no other pirates along the coast of Shandong."
At this time, Sisi hurried over and handed Shen Lingfei a thousand-mile mirror. It turned out that Shen Lingfei had just placed it in the inn with the thousand-mile mirror. Sisi only took it over now. Shen Lingfei raised the long thousand-mile mirror and carefully observed the movements on the sea. Suddenly, Shen Lingfei's expression changed slightly, as if she had discovered something.
Xue Zhidie also frowned and said in shock: "No way? Is it really Zheng Zhilong's subordinate? Look at my crow's mouth..."
If he was really Zheng Zhilong's subordinate, then Zhang Zhun would be in trouble. Zheng Zhilong was the biggest pirate leader in the late Ming Dynasty. He had hundreds of high-end gun ships and more than 10,000 armed sailors. If he was to attack Fushan, Zhang Zhun would have great pressure. The most serious thing was that Zhang Zhun had only two small-caliber Folang cannons, which were not enough to fight. The lethality of the Hu Ben gun was certainly good, but compared with the cannon, it was not of the same level as the cannon!
Fortunately, Chen Lingfei said nervously: "It's not Zheng Zhilong, it's Yang Tiansheng's person!"
Xue Zhidie breathed a little relieved.
Although the names of Yang Tiansheng and Yan Siqi are often accompanied by Zheng Zhilong, their strength is much worse than that of Zheng Zhilong. Zheng Zhilong is actually a very domineering person and will never allow others to threaten his position. Under the pressure of Zheng Zhilong, the two can only survive. Even if calculated separately, their strength is not as good as Liu Xiang. Both of them have only a few three-masted gunships, but Zheng Zhilong has more than a dozen.
It just so happened that Zhang Zhun passed by not far ahead. Chen Lingfei took two steps quickly to explain the situation to Zhang Zhun.
Zhang Zhun's eyes flashed and he said in a deep voice: "Are you sure?"
Chen Lingfei said for sure: "Believe me, I read it right. It's indeed Yang Tiansheng's person!"
Zhang Zhun nodded and said deeply: "Thank you!"
Turn around and leave.
Chen Lingfei suddenly said, "Zhang Zhun, wait."
Zhang Zhun stopped.
Chen Lingfei handed him his Qianli Milestone and said casually: "I'll give this Qianli Milestone to you."
Zhang Zhun took it without hesitation.
Because Zhang Zhun was not used to using familiar telescopes, he was really not used to commanding battles. Which commander in later generations did not have a telescope? He could not explore the entire battlefield with his naked eyes alone. Although this Qianli Milestone, although it is a single-cylinder, has a good effect and should be almost four times more likely. Through the Qianli Milestone, the details of the pirate ship must be much clearer.
Suddenly, Zhang Zhun turned around and said, "By the way, do you Shen family know how to make a thousand-mile mirror?"
Chen Lingfei said slowly: "Of course I understand. After the Westerners brought the Qianli Miles to Nanyang, our Shen family got it. After only half a year of research, we could copy it. The quality was better than what the Westerners did. However, we had to charge money, each..."
Zhang Zhun turned around and left.
Chen Lingfei had no choice but to say, "Okay, okay, stingy, when you ask for money, it's like cutting your flesh. A box of glass, I'll give you a thousand-mile mirror for free. Can you?"
Zhang Zhun said: "That's not bad."
Chen Lingfei walked back with a bitter face.
Yang Yinghan said with concern: "What's wrong with you?"
Chen Lingfei said sourly: "Your man is more stingy than me, and you have to give away everything for free! I'm making less and less money in this business."
Xue Zhidie scoffed at him.
Even Yang Yinghan smiled helplessly.
A female profiteer is a female profiteer. If you lose a penny of money, you will feel heartbroken as if you are not as good as you.
