Chapter 2271

The next day, when Fang woke up, he heard someone shouting outside.

"What's going on at this time?"

He got up to wash.

The so-called washing is actually a small bowl of water. It depends on Fang Xing's identity. Ordinary sergeants and crew can wet the towel at most.

Breakfast is a cake with pickles. It tastes good.

After breakfast, Fang woke up and went to the deck.

On the deck at the moment, Liu Pu is running.

The sun in the morning is not big and the temperature is not high. You can run with your bare arms, and squat down and retch for a while. This is your own sin!

Fang Xing stood in the shadow and looked at it. The knife came over and said, "Sir, the little Marquis has been running for less than half an hour."

Liu Pu's body was full of sweat, reflecting light in the morning light.

Fang Xing turned back, but refused to dissuade him.

So Liu Pu continued to run until he was exhausted and lay on the deck.

After a short rest, he struggled to get up and went to the kitchen to find food.

Of course, the cook would not treat him badly and secretly gave a lot of bean sprouts.

Big cakes with fried bean sprouts and pickles can drive people crazy who haven't eaten fresh vegetables for a long time.

Liu Pu ate a big cake, drank a bowl of soup, burped and went to the deck.

He found an old sailor and asked him respectfully about ships and the sea.

The old crew was flattered, and Liu Pu was sensible. They couldn't get meat strips on board, so they gave them treasure notes. Suddenly, the old crew wished they could give them away.

So they walked from the bow to the stern. With Fang Xing's acquiescence, they even went all over the treasure ship.

Then he taught all kinds of situations at sea. This knowledge could not be mastered in a few months, so Liu Pu became an extra crew member on the ship and followed the operation all day.

Fang Xing watched coldly and did not interfere.

"The fleet that went earlier should come back."

Hong Bao measured the distance on the chart and then calculated the position of the advance boat team that had set out long ago.

Fu Xian made a few gestures with his big hand and said, "at that time, they were only allowed to go out of the Strait and come back right away. It's time to come back."

Fang Xing didn't calculate, because the distance was in his mind.

Here is the cabin in the bow. Through the thick glass, you can see the subtle waves on the sea.

Fu Xian asked, "Xinghe Bo, do you want to send a boat to support?"

Fang Xing shook his head and said, "the speed of the three warships is not bad. We can fight and run if we can't fight. Ben Bo doesn't think they are in danger."

Hong Bao looked up and said, "well, they haven't encountered a storm recently. They went out of the Strait, that is, look around. If they met the enemy, naturally..."

He looked at Fang Xing and said with some hesitation, "will you pursue rashly?"

Fang Xing shook his head again. Fu Xian said, "xinghebo is on the ship. This trip is not a comfort trade. If you violate the military order, speak with the military law."

Fang woke up, nodded and said, "feel at ease for the new year."

"Sentinel scouts are indispensable. Send sentinel scouts to search in front and around every day."

Fang Xing never felt that there was much difference between naval and land warfare. They were all about seizing the dominant position and firepower attack.

As for the battle of corner striking and jumping Gang, it has fallen behind the current Daming Navy.

"Practice."

So the fleet began the formation drill and changed the formation from time to time with the command of the flagship.

"Only the side of the warship can give full play to its firepower, so you should think slowly about how to effectively attack the opponent and what formation is the best."

So with the order, the warships kept simulating the side against the enemy. The Gunners on the ship were trying their best to simulate the fire, and the atmosphere was almost close to the actual battle.

"Fire!"

A sergeant on the side of the gun touched the fire door with a thick unlit thread incense, and then the gun crew habitually looked ahead.

The warships were rehearsing, and the rest were embarrassed.

According to the arrangement, their task in combat is auxiliary. In the case of absolute advantage, their task is to watch the play.

If the enemy is powerful, their task is to hide behind quickly and not be entangled by the enemy.

As for the enemy

"Xinghebo, is it a waste to use warships to meet the enemy? The treasure ship is invincible!"

Fu Xian has deep feelings for the treasure ship and feels that Fang Xing overestimates the enemy.

"They have a lot of boats and ants kill elephants."

Fang Xing could only say that. Hong Bao was more expert: "if they set fire to the boat and the treasure boat didn't run, could they escape?"

Fu Xian thought of the scene where the dense boat lit fire and rushed towards the treasure boat. He couldn't help shaking his head and said, "I can't stop it and I can't hide."

……

There are more than ten ships docked beside the wharf in Sumatra, and the largest one is a treasure ship like a hill.

There were natives on the dock carrying food and water on board, and the sergeants were staring at them.

Sister Shi is talking to Lin who is leading the small boat team.

"... I haven't heard of another ship coming recently. Lord Lin, are you wrong?"

Lin Zheng pointed to his eyes and said, "my eyesight is very good. It's better than all the lookouts. That ship must exist. That's why I refuse to return. If I don't clear the threat for the army, I don't have the face to go back and dare not go back!"

Second sister Shi is not a good stubble. She thought for a moment and said, "Lord Lin, are they... Even if someone spies, they dare not attack and even try. It can be seen that they are not great enemies."

Lin was looking around. Sister Shi waved and the two sergeants standing behind her left.

Lin Zheng waited for them to go away before he said, "this is not a secret to the DPRK and China, but you should be careful. You can broadcast it among a few people at most."

Hearing that it was a secret, sister Shi said, "Lord Lin, if it's irrelevant here, I'd better stop talking. I'm afraid."

Lin Zheng smiled and said, "it has something to do with you."

Sister Shi immediately bowed her head slightly to express her thanks and listen.

"When the Taixi mission arrived in the capital, it was not very harmonious with the Chaozhong. According to the judgment of the Chaozhong, they might rush out of the alligator bay behind the Daming fleet last time, and then sail all the way here, so they should be vigilant."

Sister Shi was awed and said, "Lord Lin, there are no decent warships here. If they raid in, the old port will not be able to stop it!"

Lin Zheng said with a smile, "yes, so I came as a pioneer, and the fleet is still behind. Xinghebo, Duke Hong and Lord Fu are such a leading lineup. If the Taixi people don't come, I'm afraid they can't go back."

Second sister Shi felt at ease and volunteered, but Lin Zheng didn't agree.

"Most of you are fishermen. The boat is slow. You can't catch up with it when you find it. You may even be sunk in turn."

At this time, the last group of natives carrying supplies got off the ship. Someone came and asked, "Sir, after the supplies are completed, can you go to sea?"

"Anchor!"

Lin Zheng arched his hands and said, "after my official left, Lord Shi remembered to send ships to spy around. If he found the enemy, he would come back. They must not dare to land."

Sister Shi arched her hands and said, "yes, I know. Lord Lin, don't worry. If they dare to land, uncle will be in the back, and then attack back and forth. There's no way for them to survive!"

Lin Zheng nodded, "take care!"

"Take care!"

Lin Zheng returned to the boat. Second sister Shi noticed that his boat was actually a warship rather than a bigger and more comfortable treasure boat. She felt a sense of crisis in her heart.

The fleet left the dock and drifted away.

Second sister Shi ordered, "from now on, send ships out to spy every day. If you find a ship, come back and report. Don't recklessly approach."
