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

……

When Zhao Ren teased the Japanese pirates, Hua Manlou's mouth was blistered anxiously.

After sailing from Ningbo Prefecture, the Tianjin navy went all the way north to search for Zhao Ren's whereabouts, but just after passing the boundary of Suzhou Prefecture, the navy also encountered a storm, followed by a large area of ​​fog.

The storm also did not cause too much damage to the Tianjin Navy, but the fog was quite terrible. When the fog cleared, the first squadron disappeared, and the two medium-sized fast ships of the third squadron didn't know where they went. The fourth squadron A reconnaissance ship was lost, and a battleship of the Second Squadron accidentally ran into a supply ship and broke its keel. After the supplies were rescued, the ship was lost...

If so, Hua Manlou was not in the mood to care about these things, he just wanted to find Zhao Ren's whereabouts as soon as possible--compared to His Royal Highness, what other things can be called trouble?

So after the fog cleared, Hua Manlou immediately called for Mu Wenbin, hoping to determine the current location.But no matter how capable Mu Wenbin is, he can't compare to GPS positioning. The only thing he can be sure of is that the fleet is now in the Blackwater Ocean.

"Alas..." Hua Manlou looked up to the sky and sighed: "The wind and waves delayed it for a day, and the fog delayed it for another two days. If something goes wrong..."

Qi Wanrong comforted at the side: "It will be fine, let's keep searching, maybe we will meet tomorrow?"

Hua Manlou just smiled wryly and shook his head: "You are talking about the best luck, but if you are not lucky..."

If you are unlucky, you will never see Zhao Ren in your life.

Hua Manlou didn't say this out loud, but she was even more worried, after all...

Don’t look at such a small area on the map, but in reality, that small area may not be covered in a few days.Searching for a wrecked ship in such a large area...

Searching for a wrecked ship or plane at sea with so many technological means in previous lives is difficult, let alone now?

So what else to do now besides playing luck?

Looking at the supply ship that was almost falling apart not far away, Hua Manlou's heart moved: "Come here, set fire to that ship!"

The purpose of burning the broken ship is to make it produce a lot of smoke, so that if there is a ship nearby, it will definitely move closer to here.Even if Zhao Ren can't be found, at least the lost boat must be found, right?

and……

If there is something like wolf smoke, and if it is burned all the way, maybe Zhao Ren will lean over when he sees it?

As soon as Huamanlou thought of this, he immediately asked a general flag on the deck: "Is there any firewood on board?"

"It's... quite a bit."

Hua Manlou immediately said: "Go and prepare, and light the beacon fire after the boat is burned!"

It is said to be wolf smoke, but it is definitely not wolf dung that is practical, but populus euphratica, red willow, apocynum, achnatherum and other things that are prone to produce a lot of thick smoke. These things are commonly used on beacon towers-mainly because, who If you have nothing to do to collect wolf dung, you can't follow the wolf to pick it up, right?

However, the wolf smoke may not be easy to use, so Hua Manlou's thoughts began to turn to other aspects: After this incident, why not use a signal bomb or something?This thing is much better than semaphore for commanding operations, and the current situation...

Well, now we can only use wolf smoke.

The thick smoke caused by the burning ship rose into the sky, and as Huamanlou thought, the first squadron, which was not blown too far by the wind and waves, turned to join Huamanlou when they saw the smoke at sea, and the two lost warships of the third squadron also met with Huamanlou. The brigade gathered, but the reconnaissance ship of Huaman Louben's team disappeared.

After waiting and waiting, until the wrecked ship was completely burned and no scout ship returned, Hua Manlou did not dare to delay, and ordered to set sail.

By the way, the lost reconnaissance ship belonged to Doubi Song Jie. Although Hua Manlou was worried about this ship, Song Jie knew his own movements anyway, and he was quite clever, so he couldn't say that he would be killed after getting lost. Find it by yourself——Hua Manlou was sure, as long as the ship didn't sink in a big storm, nothing would go wrong with Song Jie.

So where is Song Jie now?

(It's crazy hot, I can't sleep well, I don't have an appetite, and I feel muddled all day long...)

416. Funny Bi, Er Huo

"Where the hell is this?"

On the reconnaissance ship, the thieves Zhang Hong looked at the sparkling sea with a broken expression on his face.

Song Jie himself climbed into the lookout on the mast and looked around. What he saw was the same scenery as Zhang Hong. He heard him yelling, "Sea, where else can it be?"

Zhang Hong broke down and said, "Mr. Song, why don't you stop having fun at this time? What should we do?"

Song Jie said solemnly: "Go back to the warehouse and sleep."

Zhang Hong broke down even more: "Sleep? Shouldn't we find a large army as soon as possible? Even if we drive all the way west to land!"

"I know you are still asking!" Song Jie said contemptuously: "Don't talk nonsense, go tell the sailors to turn the rudder, let's go north first!"

"Why go north?"

"Mr. Qian said that we want to go all the way north, so let's go all the way north. Anyway, there are still a lot of supplies on the ship. If there is no way out, can we just go west?"

Not many people in the entire Tianjin navy know the real purpose of this operation. Except for Geng Tianding, He Qing and Mu Wenbin, no one else knows that a certain daring prince has actually led people south. The captains of the ships only know that this time Just looking for a ship from Tianjin Shipyard.

So, as the captain of this reconnaissance ship, Song Jie's thinking is to complete the task first, as for whether his side is safe...

If he really considered safety, he wouldn't be Doubi Song.

That's right, when the storm came that day, Song Jie's funny scout ship was operating outside the brigade, so it was natural to leave the brigade.Then when he couldn't tell the direction in the fog, the funny man ordered to run around according to his feeling, so naturally the more he ran, the more he ran...

Funny, how can you expect him to react and act like a normal person when encountering things?

And as far as the matter is concerned, although Huamanlou thinks highly of Song Jie very much, he did everything possible to physically separate Zhao Ren and Song Jie when he was in Xishan in the past—if Doubi meets a second-hand guy, who knows what kind of chemical reaction will be produced , Hua Qian could not bear the consequences.

But some preordained things cannot be stopped by manpower, no matter how much you can plan ahead—Song Jie stayed in the watch for a long time, and just when he was about to go down to rest, he suddenly found a small dot on the sea level.

"Huh? What's that?" After squinting his eyes for a long time, Song Jie suddenly got excited: "Boat, a boat is coming!"

Zhang Hong, who was paralyzed on the deck with his dead body, immediately jumped up when he heard the words: "Where is it?"

"Northeast direction!" Song Jie shouted: "Turn the rudder to the northeast, and go up!"

A group of people immediately became excited.

When setting off, Hua Manlou said that whichever ship was the first to find the ship from Tianjin would be credited with that ship.Moreover, the team of thieves led by Song Jie performed extremely well after the Battle of Fenghua. Everyone is looking forward to becoming an official through many meritorious deeds. How can they miss the opportunity to perform meritorious deeds?

but……

After walking for a while, Song Jie felt that something was wrong, and even Zhang Hong felt a little weird: "Mr. Song, the group behind... aren't Japanese pirate ships?"

Song Jie on the watch narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems to be, where are there so many Japanese pirates around here?"

"What should I do, run?"

If ordinary people saw so many Japanese pirate ships, they would definitely turn around and run away, but Song Jie said: "Don't panic! Go up to them, let's see what's going on! Tell the helmsman to be ready to turn the rudder at any time!"

I don't know whether to say that Yigao people are bold or should be said that the funny comparison has its own funny logic, anyway, this scout ship is so straight up to meet it, and it doesn't take the dozens of Japanese pirate ships seriously...

On the other side, Zhao Ren also spotted the scout ship Song Jie immediately.

"Mr. Zhao, is that our navy's ship?" Ma Yuan, who was beside Zhao Ren, was pleasantly surprised.

Zhao Ren was also amused: "Yo, we really met each other, huh? But why is there only such a boat?"

A sailor on the side squinted his eyes and said, "Mr. Zhao, that is our navy's scout ship. It must be patrolling nearby!"

Zhao Ren nodded, and pondered: "If there is a scout ship nearby, then the main force of the navy should be here too? Anyway, go up there first and ask about the situation!"

A funny guy, a bastard, unexpectedly met at this juncture.

After Song Jie saw the number of Japanese pirates chasing behind, he immediately ordered the sailors to turn the rudder. After crossing a semicircle, the two boats were already in tandem, and then...

"Ma Yuan? And...Xiao Zhao? Why are you? Where did you get such a bunch of Japanese pirates?" Song Jie was a little confused.

Xiao Zhao is Zhao Ren, because he is the youngest among the young soldiers, so everyone calls him that.Hearing Song Jie ask Zhao Ren, he yelled: "I met you at sea! Let's not talk about the other side, where is Mr. Qian? Where is the navy?"

"This one……"

After the two parties got to know each other's situation after a brief exchange, Zhao Ren was worried: "What should I do? If you can't find the majority of the Navy, you can't lure this group of Japanese pirates to the shore, right?"

Song Jie was also in a dilemma.

Now the only ones in the southeast who can fight against the Japanese pirates are the sailors, but the sailors are floating somewhere. If they really let these pirates go ashore, just like the birds in the guard, wouldn't they be giving away their heads?

"Or lead this group of people around the sea!" Song Jie made up his mind.

Anyway, the navy is at sea, so the longer the Japanese pirates stay at sea, the more chance the navy has to find them.And what...

The particularity of the reconnaissance ship made the supplies on board far greater than the firepower reserves, so Song Jie felt that he could spend about a month at sea relying on the reserves on board, and even the people on the ship including Zhao Ren would also consume half an hour. Moon, but Japanese pirates...

Judging from the general situation, most of the Japanese pirate ships were people, and occasionally they were overloaded.

Therefore, even if they bring enough food and grass, they can't consume as much energy as their own, right?

After hearing Song Jie's explanation, Zhao Ren was delighted at the time: "You mean to starve them to death at sea? Good idea! Then let's jump over and fire a few cannons from time to time to provoke them?"

"Must! We still have two self-explosive ships on board, why don't we play with one first?"

"I want it! Is there anything else I can play with?"

"No, we are a scout ship. Do you have anything to play with?"

"I've brought a hot air balloon! How about we take some Purdue Flies and throw them over their heads?"

"Isn't it? The wind is so strong, even if you can go up, you can't come down!"

"Then what the hell should I do? Oh, it's really troublesome to talk like that, come closer and I'll take a sampan to discuss it!"

So, the radio waves of Doubi and Erhuo are basically the same, the effect of these two people getting together...

Anyway, the people on the two ships were nervous at first, but when the two commanders got together to discuss how to play the Japanese pirates, both Zhang Hong and Ma Yuan were dumbfounded: "Bosses, what is that?" Forty or fifty Japanese pirates, do you really not take each other seriously?

417. I Didn't Mean That!

After Zhao Ren and Song Jie merged, the Japanese pirates in the rear were obviously a little shaken, and just when the two were about to release the self-destruct boat, the Japanese pirates collectively folded up the sails, as if they didn't intend to chase.

Seeing this, Zhao Ren was at a loss: "What's the matter?"

"How do I know what's going on? These pirates can't be afraid of our two ships, right?" Song Jie was also a little at a loss.

"The self-explosive ship or not?"

"It's too far away. Wouldn't it be a waste of a ship to blow up before we get there?"

Zhao Ren pondered for a while, and then said: "How about we also stop and see what the other party is planning?"

Song Jie pondered: "It's getting dark soon, maybe these pirates are trying to paralyze us, and then make a surprise attack while it's dark?"

"I don't think...not necessarily."

"Why?"

"Here, there is a small boat rowing over. It seems that they want to chat."

Turning his head around, Song Jie saw a boat coming out of the group of Japanese pirates. After walking for a while, he also found that the small boat was actually holding a white flag.

Zhao Ren blinked: "Holding the white flag? Japanese pirates holding the white flag...is that what I thought it meant?"

Song Jie said: "Probably. But their such a large fleet surrendered to our two ships, there must be some conspiracy?"

Zhao Ren frowned and said, "It's so boring. I also said that I would bring this group of people to the navy and wipe them out!"

Song Jie said: "Don't take it lightly, maybe this is a plan of the Japanese pirates to slow down their troops? After dark, we can't see the situation clearly from a distance. If someone touches us, we will have to finish our two boats."

Zhao Ren pointed to the boat and said, "Then why don't we drive them away and refuse to surrender? Anyway, I don't think it would be fun if they surrendered."

The bearing of Prince Zhao...

Anyway, Song Jie was speechless: "If you can take down the Japanese pirates without bloodshed, who would like to fight? If this group of people landed, it may take a lot of effort to wipe them out! I lament that it is too expensive to fight the war, this time the Tianjin navy has won several battles, and our Xishan has been beaten poorly, so it would be better if they really surrendered."

Zhao Ren said depressedly: "But now you don't know the truth, what do you want to do?"

Song Jie was also depressed: "How do I know!"

The two discussed for a long time but failed to come to a conclusion, and the soldiers under them didn't know whether to fire the cannons to bombard the ship. When the two were struggling, the ship was already approaching, and the people on it were still shouting: "Sir! Don't fire! I You are here to surrender!"

Song Jie sighed: "Forget it, let's listen to what they say first!"

Zhao Ren nodded, and the two walked to the side of the poop to look at the boat.

There were only five people on the boat, and none of them had weapons on them. The leader was an old man in green robes. When he saw the two people in the stern, he was almost in tears: "I can finally talk!"

Zhao Ren and Song Jie looked at each other, and the latter asked, "Which band of pirates are you waiting for, and what is your purpose here?"

The old man in the green robe knelt down on the boat when he heard the words: "Chen Jiafu, a criminal who has died a thousand times, has come down with his command, and begged to see Uncle Xishan, and give the criminal a chance to speak!"

"Chen Jiafu?" Zhao Ren's eyes widened: "Chen Jiafu, one of the three great Japanese?"

Chen Jiafu didn't raise his head: "Exactly."

Song Jie was also shocked: "Are you here to surrender? Not to rob?"

Chen Jiafu said: "Although the criminals did many things that violated the laws of the court in the past, when did they plunder in recent years? The criminals really came to surrender!"

Zhao Ren and Song Jie looked at each other, both caught off guard by this development.
