Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The news that the Lord of Qingqiu occupied the South Island of Yingzhou was a gradual recognition process for the inspection fleet. From the earliest few words, to various rumors, to sporadic contacts, to watching the battle, the Lord of Qingqiu's  Power slowly surfaced.

    But so far, the two sides have not reached a formal official contact and are waiting to see each other.  Although the inspection fleet is inquiring and understanding the Qingqiu side, the Qingqiu side is also waiting to see the movements of the inspection fleet. They have stopped their offensive on the East Island of Yingzhou, reorganized the fleet and soldiers, and mobilized a force to the East Island.  On Okinori Island to the south, the intention to guard against the inspection fleet is very obvious.

    Yingzhou is entering a delicate tripartite balance, which is not conducive to Daomen's strategy against Yingzhou. Zhao Ran's purpose of bringing Hong Zesou is to break this balance.

    On February 20, the battleship Henan, six destroyers, eight frigates and more than 20 patrol ships and wind speedboats arrived at Miyake Island and joined Chen Shandao's fleet, which greatly increased the total strength of the inspection fleet stationed here.  increase.  They escorted fifty container ships and unloaded mountains of cargo on Hachijo Island.

    Chen Shandao asked the battleship Henan to take charge of three heavy drives and four frigates, more than ten patrol ships and wind speedboats, to escort Zhao Ran and Hong Zesou to the west, seeking contact with Qingqiu.

    Tingfeng Daoren is the temporary commander of this small fleet, and Yang Xianxian is the captain of the battleship Henan.  These are all old acquaintances of Zhao Ran. They have been rubbed by Zhao Ran. It can also be said that they were brought over by Zhao Ran. Because of Zhao Ran, they embarked on the path of abandoning the dark and turning to the bright. It is impossible to know whether they are grateful deep down in their hearts.  "Abbot Zhao", but "Abbot Zhao" left an indelible mark on their life journey, which can be said to have "accumulated great prestige".

    Zhao Ran and Hong Zesou boarded the battleship Henan, and were guided by Feng Taoist and Yang Xianxian. Rather than introducing them to Zhao Ran, it was better to "report" the situation of the fleet and battleships.

    The battleship Henan has also completed the refitting of the Fulu artillery. In fact, the battleships that were transferred to Hachijo Island, Mikura Island and Miyake Island in advance are all battleships that have been refitted, and they are the elite force of the entire inspection fleet.

    ??Just listen to the small escort fleet temporarily commanded by Feng Daoren. Regardless of the captain, it uses battle line tactics in naval battles, and it is not a problem to defeat ten with one.  If you include the battleships in Chen Shandao's hands, both the Yingzhou people and the Qingqiu fleet can sweep across the entire Yingzhou sea without any problem.  There are generational differences in tactics, equipment, and systems. How to fight?

    Therefore, in addition to protecting Zhao Ran, Tingfeng Taoist's mission is also to show his strength to the Lord of Qingqiu.

    Zhao Ran encouraged Tingfeng and said: "While serving the Dao Sect and the Ming Dynasty, don't forget to improve your own cultivation. Only when your cultivation level goes up can you better serve the fleet. I hope you will be under temporary command as soon as possible."  Remove the word 'temporary' and truly become a trustworthy fleet commander."

    Taoist Tingfeng said respectfully: "Everyone says that the abbot has great luck. As long as you follow the abbot's path, personal improvement will not be a problem. In the past, I only hated being too far away from you, abbot, but now I'm better.  , you can always listen to the teachings in front of the abbot, and the realm of humble teacher training is possible."

    Zhao Ran laughed loudly: "What great luck, don't talk nonsense! Today's great luck is among all the true masters of the Tao. Nazhen Tianzun has come to this world, and Yuanji Tianshi is the one who starts the class. This is the luck, the luck of the Taoist sect.  , it¡¯s the luck of Zhenshitang, it¡¯s the luck of Heavenly Master Yuanji!¡±

    Tingfeng Taoist immediately answered: "We don't understand these things. Our fleet officers and soldiers only know a little bit. The abbot is the founder and protector of the inspection fleet. The fate of all fleet officers and soldiers depends on you, abbot!"

    Yang Xianxian couldn't stand it anymore and typed out a whiteboard: "Tingfeng, don't flatter me, there's no need! What Abbot Zhao values ??is ability! Doing things well is better than anything else!" It's a pity that Zhao Ran, Tingfeng and Hong Zesou all left.  In front of him, no one saw the subtitles he despised.

    Zhao Ran smiled and shook his head, and moved forward with his hands behind his back: "Tingfeng, you are becoming more and more like a fleet commander Don't say these nonsense, it will hurt the poor man I heard that you are serving as a captain under Chen Tianshi.  division?"

    Ting Feng said: "The Commander-in-Chief has five boat masters around him. He values ??his humble position and is one of them."

    The naval officer is a senior officer responsible for planning routes. It is an important transitional military position before being deployed as a fleet commander or a battleship captain. Tingfeng Daoist is often entrusted with the important task of "temporary fleet command" by Chen Shandao, but it is limited to cultivation level.  There are not enough of them to truly fulfill their duties.

    Zhao Ran said: "I wish you would be promoted to the rank of alchemist as soon as possible and become your own master!"

    Tingfeng said happily: "Thank you, abbot! With these words from the abbot, I feel relieved about my humble duty."

    Zhao Ran also turned to Yang Xian and said: "Old Yang, I also wish you to advance to the rank of master refiner as soon as possible."

    Yang Xianjin¡¯s disdainful and flattering subtitles on the whiteboard.It disappeared instantly and was replaced by two words: "How long?"

    Zhao Ran laughed: "Pindao is not a god, how can we say how long it will last? But Pindao wishes you and Tingfeng to make new achievements in this battle and improve their cultivation to a higher level!"

    Yang Xianjin typed out the subtitles: "Thank you, Abbot!"

    Zhao Ran waved his hand: "Let's go. This is the first time for senior Hong Ze to come to inspect our fleet and give him some artillery drills."

    Hong Zesou stroked his beard and said, "Then I'll have to thank you all for the hard work."

    Yang Xianjin called the ordering sergeant with subtitles: "Let the gunnery officer prepare, fire three salvos from each gun position on the port side!"

    ¡­¡­

    The distance between Yingzhou South Island and the three islands is only a day's sail, with East Island in between. When they arrived at the sea near East Island, Zhao Ran ordered to slow down the sailing speed, and finally stopped near Okitori Island next to the Kanmon Strait.

    The arrival of the fleet made the Qingqiu side very nervous. Dozens of ships left the shore, approached the escort fleet, and stopped more than a mile away.  The Qingqiu fleet thought that this was a safe distance and was beyond the range of the French crossbow. Little did they know that it had already entered the fleet's gun range.  Tingfeng Taoist took this opportunity to let the gunners of each ship conduct a drill and carried out several rounds of dry gun drills, which actually gained a lot.

    Hong Zesou took a wind speed boat and sailed to the east. Zhao Ran stood on the bow of the battleship Henan and handed over to Hong Zesou: "Old seniors, please take care of yourself. If they dare to be disrespectful to the old seniors, we will punish them when they turn back."  Destroy this morning meal to vent your anger for the seniors!"

    Hong Zesou laughed loudly, returned the salute to Zhao Ran, and crossed the sea.

    The escort fleet just stopped on the sea surface of Okinori Island, eight miles away from the island, patiently waiting for news about Hong Zesou.  The Qingqiu fleet was watching on the opposite side of the escort fleet. It could be seen with the naked eye that the other side's ship was full of people of all kinds, pointing at the escort fleet. Some brave sailors drove boats closer to the fleet to take a closer look. They were all blown away by the fast wind.  The boat blocks the perimeter.

    The battleship Henan was too big and the shock was so strong that it was inevitable to attract onlookers. Zhao Ran didn't take it seriously, but he just didn't allow them to get too close.
