As a salted fish, I was forced to become the teacher of all ages

At that time, Mu Wenbin swore that no matter whether the pirates were in Chen Qianshan or not, he would let these women who died tragically see what happened to them.

A scholar was so angry that he wanted to copy a knife and kill someone...

"Yes, I know." Hua Manlou looked to the southeast again: "Brother Mu, what is the distance to Chen Qianshan?"

"One hundred and thirty miles." Mu Wenbin said bluntly, "According to our boat's speed, we can go back and forth in one night."

Hua Manlou raised his eyebrows: "Do you dare to go with me? Don't rush to agree, you have thought about it, there are quite a lot of islands and reefs along the way, and it will be dark and windy this month..."

Mu Wenbin said calmly: "The students are familiar with the charts of this place."

Hua Manlou smiled: "If you go there, you won't come back?"

Mu Wenbin also laughed: "I'll just leave and never come back!"

369. People Are Disappointed, It's Hard To Lead The Team

It was late at night, the waning moon had already set, and the sea was pitch black.

The wind is light and the waves are low.

At the bow, Mu Wenbin held a compass and was very nervous. From time to time, he would ask people to hold a torch to look ahead, or look at the stars in the sky, and then give a direction to let the fleet move on.

For this reconnaissance, the Tianjin Navy sent three reconnaissance ships.

This was what Geng Tiancheng, who was almost scared to pee, knelt down and demanded desperately, and gave the three captains a death order: If the front ship ran aground or hit a reef, then no matter what, uncle must be dragged back. This is a military order.

however……

In fact, Hua Manlou didn't intend to take this group of people to death. If he was really in danger, he wouldn't be too impulsive - there are still a few young wives waiting at home, so we can't really let them be widows, right? ?

Anyway, I don’t know if it’s the reason for the collective prayers of the Tianjin navy, or maybe this group of Japanese pirates is really so devoid of conscience that God can’t stand it anymore. There have been no accidents along the way, and the weather has been calm.

Just when Hua Manlou looked up at the starry sky...

"bingo!"

Mu Wenbin roared excitedly, ordered everyone to put out the torches, and then hurriedly ran to Huamanlou: "Uncle, Chen Qianshan is ahead!"

Hua Manlou breathed a sigh of relief: "Tell everyone to move over slowly."

"Yes!"

After Hua Manlou finished speaking, he felt that his palms were full of sweat, and he didn't know if it was his own or Qi Wanrong's.

That's right, this aunt naturally wants to follow Hua ManLou, and no one can say it won't work.And after getting on the boat, Hua Manlou took her hand when he came back to his senses, I don't know who did it first...

The speed of the ship slowed down again, and the three scout ships moved forward slowly, and when the outline of the twin islands in front was gradually visible, everyone's hearts rose to their throats.

Ordinarily, even if there are hundreds of Japanese pirates on the island, it would not be possible to find such a small target as a scout ship in such a dark environment, but everyone is nervous, for fear that if they accidentally sneeze or cough or something, it will be damaged. Grandpa's big event - even now it's still far away.

Closer, closer.

The island was pitch black, with no lights on, so Hua Manlou and Mu Wenbin doubted their own judgment: Could it be that the Japanese pirates are not here?

Or they were sure that there would be no enemy attack, so they went to sleep boldly?

Hua Manlou couldn't help frowning.

You must know that it is much easier to find the target on the island than to find the target on the island at sea. Now you can only get here by the moonlight, but if you have not completed the reconnaissance and evacuated at dawn...

Hua Manlou gritted his teeth: "Let's divide the troops into three groups! The last two ships, one going west and the other going east, went around to the side of the island. Let's go inside and go to the inside of the strait!"

Mu Wenbin hurriedly said: "Uncle, you don't have to take such risks, the students just went to the Strait to see..."

Hua Manlou was dissatisfied and said, "It's all here, so let's stop playing this game, okay? Or do you think I'm more cowardly?"

Mu Wenbin smiled wryly: "General Geng gave an order, if the uncle has any dangerous actions, they will be able to resist orders..."

Song Jie also came over: "Mr. Qian, the Tianjin Navy is under the control of General Geng. Don't make things difficult for them?"

Hua Manlou: "..."

That's right, it has long been said that Emperor Guangxing didn't give him an official position in the Tianjin Navy at all in order to prevent Huamanlou from attracting envy, and now he is only a consultant in the army on the surface.So even if the Tianjin Navy Division was built with Huamanlou from the very beginning, the theoretical top leader is now Geng Tiancheng...

Looking around at a group of navy officers and soldiers who were dodging their eyes, Hua Manlou was a little frustrated: "My words are really hard to use? Your military salary is still paid by Xishan!"

No one answered.

Seeing this, Mu Wenbin persuaded again: "Uncle, the students can just take a boat. Anyway, whoever is scouting is not scouting?"

"Roll, roll, roll non-stop!" Hua Manlou was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.

Mu Wenbin hurriedly let the rear boat move forward, and then, as if he was afraid that Huamanlou would change his mind, he jumped onto the boat without even taking a sampan, commanded the boat to move forward slowly, and disappeared in the darkness.

Qi Wanrong, who didn't say much all the way, pulled Huamanlou and said: "Don't worry, just sit down and wait?"

The young lady's voice was unexpectedly gentle, miraculously suppressing Hua Manlou's anger.

"Alas... people's hearts are lost, it's hard to lead the team..." Hua Manlou sighed and sat down on a chair that Song Jie hastily moved.

Waiting is the most annoying thing. After sitting for a quarter of an hour, Huamanlou couldn't sit still anymore. He walked to the bow and stared at the hazy twin islands in front of him, as if doing so would make Mu Wenbin happy. Same as pointing back.

After an unknown amount of time, Song Jie approached ghostly: "Mr. Qian, it's almost dawn, should we retreat?"

Hua Manlou's heart sank.

It is true that the reconnaissance ship can be said to be the fastest ship in the navy today. In theory, the high imitation Junk ship of the Japanese pirates cannot catch up at all, so even if it is discovered, it will not be a big deal.

But theories are just theories. There are many conditions that affect the speed of a ship, and the most direct one these days is the sailor's control.

The establishment of the Tianjin Navy has only been so short, and it can be considered that it went to sea in a hurry. No matter how talented the sailors are, they can't compare with the Japanese pirates who sail in the water from time to time, right?So the main point of this reconnaissance is to evacuate before dawn to avoid accidents.

But now that Mu Wenbin hasn't come back, he can't really leave him and run away, can he?

Just when Hua Manlou was struggling, Qi Wanrong suddenly said pleasantly, "I'm back!"

Hua Manlou quickly moved forward, and sure enough, he saw a black figure approaching quickly in front of him, and immediately heard Mu Wenbin's voice: "Turn the rudder, return!"

When the two boats passed by each other, Mu Wenbin jumped over again without relying on the sampan, and the first second he saw Huamanlou, he said excitedly and incoherently: "Here, it is here, uncle, I found it!"

Hua Manlou hurriedly grabbed him and asked, "Are you sure it's a Japanese pirate?"

"There's nothing wrong!" Mu Wenbin was still very excited: "The black sail, the hull is flat and square, it's a Japanese pirate ship!"

"Great..." Hua Manlou was also excited: "How many ships are there? Are there guards?"

Mu Wenbin said: "The students didn't dare to get too close. At a glance, there are more than [-] large and small boats, and there are people guarding the shore, but it seems that most of them are to prevent people on the island from escaping. No one pays attention to the sea."

Hua Manlou clicked his tongue and said: "It's a big loss! If you bring a few fire boats or self-explosive boats or something, you can make this group of people unable to eat today!"

Mu Wenbin also sighed and said, "Who would have thought that this would be the case? Even some kerosene would do the trick. If the boat is burnt down with one fire, I'm afraid these people will be trapped and die on this island!"

The words of the two warmongers made the surrounding naval officers and soldiers break into cold sweat...

"Forget it, hurry back, anyway, tomorrow is the day of death for this group of people!"

370. Fighting Intent

Hua Manlou and Mu Wenbin were obviously talking hilariously, and the words they said were roughly similar to 'if I were there, I would definitely do something', because they both knew clearly that Japanese pirates are not so easy to deal with, and Even if the fire really goes down, there is no way to completely trap these pirates on the island.

But what does this have to do with mouth hi?

Compared to those ordinary cowards who talk harshly, Hua Manlou and Mu Wenbin did indeed come to the enemy's formation for reconnaissance. This alone will blow up the scum of those who only talk about it.

And they did this premeditatedly, in order to boost morale before the big battle and further increase their own winning rate-this is one of the reasons why Hua Manlou personally took the risk to come to reconnaissance.

After all, the Tianjin navy is still a new army that has not been tested in actual combat, and it is too easy to go wrong when it comes to the battle. If you don't use this small method to increase your own chips, will you really get rid of it when the time comes?

And in fact, when the two stood on the deck and easily described how to use the cruelest way to destroy the Japanese pirates and avenge the tragic death of the woman in Chashan, the expressions of the sailors on the ship gradually changed. The dignified atmosphere It was swept away, replaced by a strong fighting spirit.

And as Hua Manlou returned to the camp, this fighting spirit seemed to be contagious, spreading to all the ships.

Therefore, when Hua Manlou and others catch up on sleep and rest, most of the whole army is busy: the people involved in the operation are checking the condition of the ship, the gunners are carefully cleaning the barrel and confirming the condition of the ammunition, and other combatants are recruiting for safety. The thieves are sharpening their knives with a grin...

Although the final painting style of this special unit is obviously different, and they don't seem to need to be encouraged, but the high morale is a good thing. Anyway, Huamanlou who woke up at noon felt pretty good.

"Uncle!"

Walking into the command cabin, Geng Tiancheng, He Qing, Hao Liangcai and others were all there. Mu Wenbin, who got up earlier, was explaining Chen Qianshan's situation to them. Seeing Hua Manlou coming in, a group of people immediately came over.

Hua Manlou waved his hand as a greeting, and then asked Mu Wenbin, "Did you explain everything about the terrain?"

Mu Wenbin nodded and said: "No problem, now I just wait for Uncle to make a strategy, and then we can set off!"

Hua Manlou responded, walked to the table and looked at the topographic map of the island drawn by Mu Wenbin on the table, and then said: "We are attacking with the whole army this time, so the number of people should be more than ten times that of the opponent. Theoretically speaking, it is completely crushing the opponent, so I personally think that winning is not a problem, the important thing is to win beautifully. And if you win the first battle well, the follow-up Pingwa will not be a problem, so this time we must be thorough. Annihilate this Japanese bandit."

Geng Tiancheng nodded and said: "What Uncle said is that although the soldiers are all ready to fight, if this battle is not done with dignity, what we did before will be greatly compromised."

"Exactly, so let's look at it this way..." Hua Manlou put a copper coin on the map at the north of Twin Islands, and said, "Brother Geng, you take your people to attack from the front, several ships After the battleships are lined up, they only block the exit of the strait, and don’t worry about the others. If the wind is favorable, we can set fire ships and self-destruct ships to completely block this point.”

Geng Tiancheng beamed and said, "Decree!"

After putting down another copper coin, Hua Manlou said to He Qing: "Brother He, your people are on the other side of the Zhengnan Strait, and the request is the same. Completely block this place, and if there are Japanese pirates who dare to rush out, shoot and sink them!" !"

"Order!"

"Brother Hao, your task is to take people around the island and bombard the buildings on the island." Huamanlou placed a few copper coins on the outside, and then said: "If there are pirates gathering, you can also bombard his mother. If you find a dense building and the ship can approach it, it’s arson.”

"Order!"

Although Huamanlou said that winning is no problem, he still settled down in detail, imagined the relevant situation as much as possible and made corresponding countermeasures, then said: "Burn the pot to make a meal, after the meal Let's go! After completing the encirclement in the dark, we must start the war before the third watch!"

"Yes!"

Hua Manlou did not mobilize before the battle, and in fact there was no need to mobilize before the battle. Most of his work for this battle was over, and only the improvisation of local battles during the war was left.

At the same time, dozens of large and small warships pulled anchor one after another, slowly formed a queue and sailed into the sea along the Yangtze River, while Hua Manlou stood on the poop of the flagship and looked around, seeing only a shadow of sails covering the sky.

If it was Wen Qing, I guess he would say something about his lofty aspirations and lofty ambitions at this moment; if it was someone more Wen Qing, he would probably feel sad, thinking about how cruel the war is. , how many people can survive this time or something.

But Huamanlou has no such thoughts at all at the moment, and is just entangled in one thing: Originally, after this battle, he could go home and continue his salty fish, but he agreed to Su Jiuer to change the world in the southeast... ...It may be said that the morals of the world are a bit big, specifically, it completely flattened the Japanese pirates, so...

Can you change your mouth and say that you sent people to calm the world?

After all, you see, Geng Tianding and these people were ecstatic when they took the order. The war should be fought by these warmongers, right?

But turning her head to look at Su Jiu'er who was following behind her, Hua Manlou felt that she couldn't say it.

Because, that day in Chashan Huamanlou couldn't bear to see those women who died in such a miserable state, Mu Wenbin was furious, and most of the navy soldiers ran to the side to vomit when they were angry, but Su Jiuer...

Her facial expression didn't change from the beginning to the end, even the moment she saw the corpse, she went back to the cabin to find some cloth to cover it up, and even made the women close their eyes.

At that time, Hua Manlou really wanted to ask, is she too cold-blooded, or is it because she has really seen hell that she can calmly face this horrific scene?

Based on his feeling, Hua Manlou thought it was the latter, so he didn't ask in the end.

"You're being mean again..." Hua Manlou sighed softly, "Why can't you control your mouth?"

Huamanlou can't do things that break his promise and get fat.

Not only because doing so would make other girls look down upon him, but also because Uncle Hua is now a man of status, and if he casually agreed but broke his promise, what's the point of face?

"What did you say?" Qi Wanrong at the side didn't hear what Hua Manlou said.

"...It's nothing, it's just Japanese pirates, fuck it!" Hua Manlou yelled viciously, then turned and walked down the building boat: "Go back to the barn and rest for a while, you won't be able to relax tonight!"

(Today...or tomorrow there will be a surprise~)

371. How is it possible!

Shengshan, with beautiful scenery, beautiful environment and abundant fish, is really a rare treasure.

Not far from the wharf in the Shengshan Strait, there is a mountain depression. In the depression, a small mountain was completely hollowed out, forming a huge cave that can accommodate hundreds of people. The cave can be described as warm in winter and cool in summer, which is extremely pleasant.

Next to the col are rows of small caves, which are the residences of all the Japanese pirates.

"Brother, it's done!"

"Hahahahaha, okay, do it!"

At this time, the Japanese pirates in the cave are holding a birthday banquet. Today, Qian Dapeng, the leader of the pirates, is celebrating his [-]th birthday.

The chief seat looked at Qian Dapeng, who looked like a butcher, holding up a sea bowl. Anyone who came to toast would always come. After half an hour, his face was only slightly flushed, and even the sarcoma on his head was glowing. red light.
