More than 20 lucky ships lined up from south to north and slowly walked south. (just find the novel material) Looking around the west side of the fleet, you can occasionally see the looming coastal front line fleet. A red sun rose slowly on the sea and countless seagulls were flying in the sky. The blue sea breeze blew slightly to make people feel refreshed.

"The Governor will be fine if you train these bastards a few more times." Commander Wang Jian said with a smile.

Zhao Xingde nodded and took a deep breath and said loudly: "Start!"

The sailor immediately rushed to the cables under the masts everywhere. The gunner rushed to the front and back ships and quickly erected the cable hook to build the gun rack to remove the blocks of the gun rack. Several gunners cleaned and inspected before firing. Another group of gunners brought the ammunition from under the deck. The sailors grabbed the three cables that raised sails. "Super sails!" The captain shouted loudly, "Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-he

Shortly after the Navy Tower ship was stationed in Guazhou, it received a urgent official letter from the Ministry of War that the Dashi Navy once again harassed the coastal looting of Guangnan Road and burned the villages, and thousands of casualties were killed and injured. Zhao Xingde stopped waiting for the new gunship of the iron bones to quickly lead his subordinates to go south to use existing warships and merchant ships to curb the Dashi pirates' harassment of the southern coast. The military situation was as hot as fire, Zhao Xingde had to mobilize his subordinates to set off south immediately.

In the eyes of most people, the South China Sea is still a wild place. Most naval officers and soldiers also chose to leave their families in Guazhou. The princess could not follow the boat like Mrs. Han Shizhong, Zhao Huan also stayed in Guazhou camp. In order to prevent accidents, Zhao Xingde specially left two thousand musketeers to protect the naval camp. Liu Gu also stayed behind to urge the baggage, supervise the construction of warships, build water camps, etc.

To make up for the lack of troops, the Ministry of War commanded the Navy of Zhen** and other coastal navy divisions left on Guangnan Road and other coastal navy divisions were all assigned to Zhao Xingde. The total force reached more than 20,000 people. These subordinates were scattered on the coastline of thousands of miles. It took time for them to concentrate. This is a young navy. Although the navy has tried its best to recruit sailors from experienced boatmen, there are still very few officers and soldiers with experience in long-distance voyages. Zhao Xingde knew that he did not know more about the possible situations of long-distance voyages than others, but he still followed the advice of experienced naval officers and sailors and added some of his own considerations to use his leisure to train these subordinates.

"Okay———”

As the loud slogan of black sails rose to the top of the mast, the sailors adjusted the direction of the sails. The ships shook for a few seconds and then accelerated a lot. The captain of each team of sailors found the wind direction. The sea breeze roared violently at the altitude, and the mast swayed slightly. The towering bow of the ship easily broke through the surging thrusts. The entire ship seemed to be moving in the wind. At this time, the musketeers had lined up neatly behind the side of the ship to fill in ammunition, set up guns, and finally set up guns to ignite the fire. Everyone stood steadily on the deck, no longer had anyone vomited a lot when they had just gone to sea.

"Not bad-" Zhao Xingde used a thousand-mile mirror to observe more than twenty warships from afar to near.

During the training of sail lifting, almost all ships accurately grasped the wind direction. The formation of the entire fleet suddenly accelerated, but the formation did not occur. This accuracy was a superb performance for the navy that had just formed an army. When the South China Sea Navy set out from Guazhou, there were only five lucky ships and nearly one thousand soldiers who were transformed. More than a dozen lucky ships were added to more than 5,000. The fleet seemed to be vast, but the formation of the fleet was even more chaotic. Each ship was a kingdom. In order to break the barriers of the navy in various places, Zhao Xingde transferred at least 70% of all the warship personnel. To promote unified flags and orders, officers who did not obey the orders during the cāo training were demoted to use military poles and punished.

The red, blue, yellow and white flag raised the mast, Zhao Xingde's ship issued a banner that changed the column to a horizontal line. (Let's find the novel material) The first ship turned the rudder and sailed southeastward. Then the second ship followed the third, the fourth... The last warship still maintained its course in the south. When it sailed to a line about east-west with other ships, the navy fleet had become a horizontal line towards the south. The ships lowered the sails and slightly adjusted their course. The iron barrel cannons on the ship tower were facing the south.

"Boom--" "Boom--" "Boom--" "Boom--" "Boom--" "Boom---"

The red battle flag raised, and the gunners lit the cannons one after another. The guns were emitting dazzling flames. One by one, black iron bullets passed through the blue sky. The sea surface stirred up rows of thick smoke and sulfur. The smoke covered the bow of the ship. While firing the cannon, the guns "huh" backed up and "squeaked" and the heavy cannon sound was stopped by the cables. The gunner immediately went in front of the gunner while coughing violently while reaching the wet gun brush into the hot gun chamber. The white steam came out with a burnt smell.

The ammunition master skillfully pushed the medicine bag and shells into the barrel chamber and pressed the gunners with push rods to push the guns out of the back of the ship's side. The leads were lit again. Not long after the first volley, the second round of volley began again. Looking at the water column in front of him, Zhao Xingde nodded slightly. Because he couldn't wait for the gunship to enter the navy, the artillery had less artillery than he expected, so it was crucial to increase the firing speed. At the same time, the firepower of the warship could not be ensured that the enemy ship was destroyed before getting close. The problem must be solved by platoon combat. The artillery only tried to weaken the enemy's combat power before the platoon combat. After the three volley, the warship would raise the sails and rush straight towards the enemy ship decisively to launch a hand-to-hand combat battle according to Zhao Xingde.

"Super the sail-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Thunderthrowing deck!" Liu Zhijian ordered loudly.

A team of thunderbolters came out of the cabin. Each of them hung a bamboo basket filled with thunder. Holding a fire note in his right hand, "thumping" and rushing to the ship building. The more musketeers guarded the ship. When the short-term battle was met, the ship building not only used a shotgun to strafuse the opponent's deck with a shotgun, but relying on these thunderbolters to throw thumping at the enemy ship from a high point. When the enemy rushed over to seize the ship, the big and round thunderbolts could also counterattack at the first time. The musketeers on the deck were preparing to support the battle of the ship building while preparing for the boarding battle. The ship building was the most important position in the boarding battle. If necessary, the thumper and gunners on the ship building would bombard the enemy on the deck.

"Plant a gun - ignite the fire!"

With the sound of "bang bang bang" muskets, bursts of blue smoke emerged on the deck of the ship. The musketman filled the ammunition and fired again. Then he changed the gun and stabbed the gun and stood on the side of the ship. He practiced to the last step. Many people showed a relaxed look on their faces, but in the real battle, they were about to usher in the most severe moment.

Liu Zhijian shook his head secretly. After all, there is still a distance between the actual combat. After Zhao Xingde reorganized the army in Quanzhou, he reported to the Ministry of War. Every large ship appointed commander. The deputy general and the escort commander were appointed, and the escort commander was elected by the soldiers. The sea ship is a closed place. Any minor contradictions and conflicts may cause greater riots and thus endanger the safety of the entire ship and the fleet. Therefore, even if Zhao Xingde loves soldiers like a son, the military law of the ship is much stricter than the escort commander. The escort commander does not have as much power as the escort. It can be said that commanding on the ship is like a local emperor.

When going out to sea, every big ship would be relatively strong. A strong wind would blow the entire fleet completely. When fighting, if the commander did not comply with the military orders or even evacuate the generals without authorization, it would be impossible to implement them. Zhao Xingde was in charge of the South China Sea Navy and his command was a large number of trusted generals such as Du Chujiao, Liu Zhijian and others did not have the qualifications of the navy, but Zhao Xingde still asked them to command a ship and used the navy's officers as deputy generals. Many of the guards recommended by the sailors were also prestigious subordinate officers in the navy.

The warship commands appointed by the navy were mainly artillery officers. Infantry officers like Du Chujiao were mostly knowledgeable about identifying compass and observing the sky and distinguishing directions. The navy officers with old qualifications had their own advantages. The Song Dynasty never attached much importance to the navy's sea defense and the status of the navy's sea defense was far inferior to that of river defense. Therefore, the navy's navy's navy was far from forming a tradition of rejecting horse and infantry officers. The commanders who once took charge of the navy's navy, such as Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others, were also from cavalry. Therefore, the appointment of Liu Zhijian and others did not cause collective rebounds for the navy's officers, but established the principle of orders that were better than individuals, brave and brave to fight and superior to qualifications.

After the shelling, the naval officers and soldiers who had continued to break through the waves and ended the "morning exercise" also began to scrub the decks and sort out the cables. Zhao Xingde summoned the staff officers on the ship on the boat and commanded the officers in the boat building for about an hour later, the commanders and leaders would lead the team to check the various positions of the ship. The entire ship must be kept in a state of combat at any time. The flexible naval student climbed the mast like a monkey and looked at the distant sea area with a thousand-mile mirror.

In the view of Qianlijing, there is often a vast sea surface. There is a need to distinguish between monotonous blue and white at sea level. Occasionally, there are some things on the sea level, but most of the time, it is water birds and floating objects. Suddenly, several children shouted loudly at the same time: "There is a ship in front of it--" All the officers and sailors looked up in the distance.

At the junction of the sea and the sky, a small black dot appeared with a bow shaking a small white flag.

"Rule Thieves" Zhou Xun looked sad and said, "He is a little famous and has done a lot of business. But the official army doesn't need to do such a formation. The entire navy fleet drove in rows of sea surfaces and came to bombard the cannons together? Look at this murderous look, if he doesn't quickly shoot the white flag, his ship will be bombarded by the shells before he can get to the ground.
