Chapter 1866： "Water Ghost"

Fiction Net, update the latest chapter of Emperor Rise!

Not to mention, the "pirate mode" opened by Dhaka really hit the weak points of the Ming Dynasty. Because the country has been flat for many years, the southeast coastal area has become relatively rich. At the same time, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Southeastern Guardian also deteriorated sharply. Otherwise, there will not be a situation in which a few Japanese pirates set off huge waves in Jiajing period decades later.

The coastal area of ​​Guangdong, although not as prosperous as the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, has been settled for many years because pirates have not yet emerged. Coupled with the warm climate, it is also rich in products.

At the beginning, Dagama was still afraid of the coastal sanctuaries. Because, he heard Sun Wei bragging about it, thinking that each guard has five or six thousand people, and the fighting power is very strong.

However, when attacking the coastal towns, Dahama was surprised to find that those soldiers of the Ming Army did not come in time for reinforcement ...

Where did he know that the soldiers of the Guangdong Coast Guard were already terrified. Not to mention reinforcements, it's good not to scare away ...

After hundreds of years of stable life, the soldiers of the Southern Guard House have long been eroded by the stable life and become more and more like a farmer. Only guards on the northern and southwestern borders can retain some fighting power because they fight regularly. Most of the guards on the southeast coast are no different from timid farmers.

However, although these guards did not dare to go out of the city to fight, they could still guard the city. The Portuguese sailors of Dagama faced strong resistance when they tried to siege Haifeng County, Huizhou Prefecture. The main reason is that Haifeng has a Haifeng Guardian House, and there is a Jiesheng Guardian House in the southeast of the city. Seeing the Panyi attack, all the more than 1,000 soldiers and horses of the two thousand households retreated into the county, and they mobilized Zhuangding in the city to defend Haifeng County. These guards might not dare to fight in the field, but with the city wall as a support, they also increased a lot of courage. Moreover, they can also force the strong men in the city to stand in front as cannon fodder ...

The soldiers of Dagama are sailors after all, not professional army. Facing the dead guard of two thousand households, there is no alternative. Because of the lack of siege equipment and experience, Dagama could only leave after looting several local undefended towns.

Then, Dagama summed up a set of looting experience-the county town can sneak attack, and once the attack fails, it will give up the attack and turn to looting the nearby town. In this way, although the harvest is not great every time, the accumulation of less is more, and a lot of wealth is gained. The only thing that dissatisfied Dajama was that there were not many silks in those towns, only cotton. After all, the wealthy households and officials of the Ming dynasty basically lived in the city, and silk shops were naturally opened in the city. There are few silk sellers in small towns. After all, in a town, there are only a few wealthy households who can afford silk. Those rich households have the conditions to buy clothes in the city. Therefore, silk shops are usually opened in the city.

Dagama's looting of coastal towns in Guangdong finally attracted the attention of the Ming Dynasty officials. Chen Jin, Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, is now retiring the peasant uprising in Fujiang. He was leading a tens of thousands of troops to siege the peasant army in Fujiang, unable to withdraw, so he ordered Wang Hai, the deputy envoy of Qihai Road, to command 10,000 soldiers of the guard, and hundreds of warships from the Guangdong naval division, to go and destroy the pirate pirate ...

Speaking of Wang Wang, he had to mention the Folang machine gun. Because, in real history, this person was Wang Mon, the first big man who advocated "manipulating foreigners against foreigners". The Folang cannon was also salvaged by Wang Mon from the sunken Portuguese warship and was the first to be copied.

Of course, in this time and space, Wang Meng's first credit for imitating the Folang machine gun was no more. Because, Marin had already presented the Folang machine gun and the manufacturing method of the Folang machine gun. Even the Napoleonic artillery was offered.

At this time, the Nantou Sea Department, where Wang Meng was stationed, had four 12-pound Napoleon guns from Guangzhou to here ...

Wang Mo was sitting in the public house of the Nantou Hokkaido Department at this time, stroking his beard and thinking about things. Soon, the soldiers came to report:

"Senior deputy, the humble has been found out. Those pirate plane pirates originally had 30 large ships with strong guns. However, in Humen Fort, two ships were injured by the 'flat prisoner cannon' of the fort, The two ships, which were later reported to the south, were estimated to have returned to the old homes of the Franco robots for repair. The remaining 28 enemy ships were all hidden in the south of Nantou Walled Village, and the locals called Xiangjiang Island In a port on the southern side of the desert island, and based on this, harassing me along the coast of Guangdong ... "

(Hong Kong Island officially appeared in the document, probably during the Wanli period. At this time, the term Hong Kong is only used by the people, and it has not been developed locally.)

"Hidden south of Xiangjiang Island? The two ships were injured by the 'flat capped cannon'?" Wang Menfu thought for a long time before ordering:

"Continue to explore the news while looking for a good place to land on the north shore of Xiangjiang Island."

After his men left, Wang Meng took out a blank report and began to write a report, asking the court to allocate more "Pingru Cannon" support.

Obviously, the Franco Panyi's warship is afraid of "flat prisoners". If there were enough "flat prisoners" to bombard, Panyi's ship would definitely not be able to stand it.

Wang Meng intends to land dozens of "Pingru Cannons" on the northern shore of Xiangjiang Island, and then to enter the hiding place of the plane on the south bank, bombarding enemy warships with "Pingru Cannons ..."

However, at present, only the military division of the Beijing Division has the technology for casting "flat prisoners". Therefore, he can only wait for a while. In addition, the mobilization of 10,000 soldiers and hundreds of warships will take time. With the efficiency of the Ming Army, it didn't do well in a month or two. If you wait any longer, it is estimated that the court's "flat prisoners" were delivered ...

But if it doesn't do anything at this time, it seems bad. After all, he has a heavy responsibility now and can't do nothing. Maybe it's useless to do it, but in the officialdom, the most important thing is to make a gesture to the superior. Even if you are doing useless work, you must let Shangguan see that you are "working hard" ...

While waiting for the army and the court to provide more "flat prisoners", Wang Meng also summoned all his strategists and generals with rich experience in naval warfare to let them make suggestions.

At this time, a hundred households named Zhou Cang suddenly said:

"Admiral, have you ever heard of" Water Ghost "?"

"Water ghost?" Wang Men frowned unhappy:

"Zi not speak strange power chaos ..."

Zhou Cang coughed and said:

"The deputy envoy misunderstood. The humble saying" water ghost "is not a ghost, but a kind of wonderman in water warfare."

Zhou Cang was not an officer before, but the head of the Zhujiangkou pirate who was recruited. Therefore, he is more proficient in water warfare than everyone present. The thousands of households in Yuantou Zheng Yuan whispered Zhou Cang's past to Wang Mon.

Wang Wei nodded and motioned Zhou Cang to continue ...

Zhou Cang continued:

"The so-called 'water ghost ~ www.novelhall.com ~ is particularly good for pirates. Their task is to dive to the bottom of the enemy ship with a sharp axe, and use the sharp axe to penetrate the bottom of the enemy ship to make it leak. Sunk ... "

"Wait, the officer heard that there are multiple cabins under the ship. Even if one cabin enters the water, the ship will not sink? Is it necessary to close the cabin, the ship can support it and repair it ..." Wang Mang interrupted. . Because he toured Guangdong's coastal defense, he learned a lot about water warfare in advance, but he didn't understand anything.

Zhou Cang smiled and said:

"Adult said, it was my Daming boat. But as far as I know, I went down to Nanlang Town to find out that the boat of the Frobot is a whole empty cabin below. Once the water leaks, if the loophole cannot be blocked in time, it is inevitable The water has sunk! "

"People in Nanlang Town have been on the ship of the Frobot man?" Wang Mo puzzled.

"Yes, the Francois robbed a lot of property and food in Nanlang Township. Then, they forced the local villagers to carry these commodities onto the boat and put them in the bottom cabin. Therefore, many people in the local area boarded the Francois People ’s warships have all gotten into the bilge. I asked him humblely, those Franco-roman warships seem to have only one compartment in the bilge. Once the water enters, the possibility of sinking is great! "

"Well, the officer ordered you to pick a group of soldiers with the best water quality from the water village, and practice the method of diving and chiseling the bottom of the ship. If the water quality in the military is not good enough, go to private recruitment and make sure you have enough water. 'Ghost', the boat used to chisel the Buddha robot! "

"Follow the order!" Zhou Cang readily led ...
