Chapter 182 Goodbye to Nanri Island
Xu Xinsu actually has an account in his heart. As a businessman, he is more good at calculating. In his mind, the number of warships of sea wolves may not be as large as that of the officers and soldiers, but the combat effectiveness of a single ship far exceeds that of officers and soldiers, so on the surface, the sailors of the officers and army are very good. In fact, in terms of combat effectiveness, I'm afraid not It is the opponent of the sea wolf.
At present, he has been forced to join the government and has a hundred households. Now there is no way out. He can only hope that the sea wolf will retreat this time. He will not fight to the death with the officers and soldiers on Nanri Island. In addition, he also hopes that he will cooperate with the navy to suppress the red-haired sea wolves this time. When the sea wolves fight back, the red-haired fleet can stop these sea wolves' fleet.
As long as the officers and army can succeed this time, he can continue to do his business in the future, but once the officers and troops fail again this time, it is estimated that his business at sea will be the end. He knows better than anyone that once the officers and army fail this time, he may have no power to deal with the sea wolves within a few years. The sea of Fujian has completely become the territory of sea wolves. If he wants to do maritime trade in Fujian, there will be no hope.
So no matter what the purpose is, Xu Xinsu was tied to the government's chariot this time and can only fight against the sea wolf.
However, because of this, Xu Xinsu's reputation is also stinky. Anyone knows that the sea wolf took the initiative to help Xu Xinsu deal with Zheng Yiguan. Zheng Yiguan had just been forced out of Fujian by the sea wolf. Xu Xinsu turned to help the government deal with the sea wolf. Now when it comes to Xu Xinsu, many people scold him for not being a thing. Son.
On the other hand, Chu Cailao and Yan Siqi, because they want to rely on Xiaotian's nose to survive, they dare not deal with Xu Xinsu anymore and treat Xu Xinsu as an enemy together. As long as Xu Xinsu's ship leaves the shore, it will be intercepted by sea wolves or Chu Cai Lao's people, making Xu Xinsu dare not even go out in the past few months.
The fleet of officers and soldiers came out from the Shenzhen-Shanghai Bay, completed the assembly on the sea, and began to sail against the wind towards Nanri Island. At this time, it was the northwest wind blowing on the sea. For Yu Zhigao's fleet, sailing from Yongningwei to Nanri Island, it was against the wind that made their speed very slow.
Shortly after they went to sea, a dhow on the sea immediately sailed beyond the sea level and immediately released two carrier pigeons from the ship. After flying around the ship several times on the sea, the carrier pigeons determined its direction and immediately fluttered its wings and flew northward.
Yu Xiaotian finally turned his head and took a look at the wolf cave village behind him. At this time, the wolf cave village had turned into ruins. At this time, the fence-shaped wall that had been built was finally built. At this time, all the horn towers were blown up, including the wall, which was also dismantled and lost its original appearance.
At this time, the houses in the stockade had already ignited a fire, and thick smoke rose into the sky, spreading in the sky, covering the sky and the sun.
Even the original commercial stack area has been basically demolished. The wood that can be used to build houses and shipbuilding has been loaded with more than a dozen large sand boats and transported to some nearby islands or freshwater cities.
Including the dock by the sea, which has also been removed, leaving only a few empty platforms and some houses. The dock doors of the two docks were also removed at this time, and seawater was poured into the dock, making the boat also become ruins, such as If you want to recover, it will probably take a lot of effort.
Everything seems to have returned to the appearance of Yu Xiaotian when he first came here a few years ago, and the whole Nanri Island suddenly became desolate.
In addition to Yu Xiaotian, the people who finally left here on the boat also silently looked at the burning village. This used to be their home, but now it has become a ruin. Some old people of sea wolves can't help but wet their eyes. They were once recorded here. The brilliance witnessed that they gradually grew from a group of small pirates to the hegemon of the Fujian Sea, but because of this suppress by the officers and army, everything will turn into ashes.
Of course, they are not too sad about this, because they understand that they were not scared away by the officers and soldiers. The reason why they gave up here is to gain greater benefits in the future. The sea wolf is an undefeated strong man. As long as their big head Yu Xiaotian is still there, they don't have to worry about not going back here.
When they come back here, this place will become a battlefield again, let the government know the power of their sea wolves, and will never dare to trouble them again from now on.
Yu Xiaotian boarded the New Sea Wolf, which is already the fourth ship named after the sea wolf, and this ship is no longer a Chinese lucky boat type, but a Galen ship with a displacement of about three or 400 tons.
And this Galen ship was the Spanish warship captured by Yu Xiaotian, but now the ship has been completely repaired and transformed into his new ship and the general flagship of all the sea wolf fleets.
The ship has been completely renovated from the inside to the outside, the damaged parts have been replaced with new wood, and the hull has been further strengthened, so that its ability to carry artillery has been improved to a certain extent.
More importantly, the steering device of this ship has also been completely replaced with a set of steering wheel steering device, which is no longer the previous steering rod operating mechanism, which improves the operation performance of the ship and makes navigation much more flexible and lighter.
The sail on the mast has also been modified and improved to a certain extent under the guidance of Xiaotian, making it easier to operate, and the ability to grab the wind is also be stronger. Although the speed of the ship has not improved much, it has still been improved to a certain extent. A statue in the original position of the bow has now been removed and replaced There is a wolf-headed statue.
However, it is a pity that Yu Xiaotian did not find a good sculptor. The wolf head carved by the wood carving craftsman did not satisfy him, which became more or less a pity. However, after changing the wolf head, the ship still seemed to be more majestic.
Yu Xiaotian stood upstairs in the stern, turned around, stopped looking at the village with flames and thick smoke behind him. He took a deep breath and said, "Order, set sail! I will be back soon! I promise that I will come back with you, and then we will rebuild here!"
All the crew members on the ship immediately straightened their waists and their feet together. They collectively gave a standard modern military salute to Yu Xiaotian and shouted, "Yes! The sea wolf will win!"
With the roar of the crew of the Seawolf, there was a roar of sea wolves on the ship in the whole bay. A green flag rose on the mast of the Sea Wolf, and the sampans began to drag the ship under the hard rowing and swing of the sailors and slowly left the dock. , thinking about driving outside the mouth of the bay.
The number of this fleet is not large, because after more than ten days of rush transportation, most of the materials and personnel on Nanri Island have been transported out of Nanri Island at this time, and the rest is only the last batch of evacuated personnel. The whole Nanri Island has basically turned into a desert island from the sea. To the figure of an event.
Of course, on this silent surface, it is not so simple, because in the mountains east of Nanri Island, there are still more than 1,000 sea wolf armies.
The sea wolf army of this battalion is personally led by the army commander Li Dazui, and all of them are hidden in the mountains. If the mountain is not thoroughly searched, no one will find their existence.
This time, Yu Xiaotian did not insist on sitting on Nanri Island in person, but the last batch of withdrawal here. Early this morning, he received the news from the carrier pigeons. The officers and soldiers finally moved. The officers and soldiers gathered in Dinghai City and Yongningwei all began to set sail yesterday and travel to Nanri Island, including Xing The officers and army divisions stationed in Huafu were all closed at this time, and no one was allowed to leave the camp without authorization and enter the alert.
Until this time, Yu Xiaotian ordered the fire, completely igniting some of the last remaining houses of the sea wolf village that had been demolished, and the last group of people left behind followed him to leave here.
However, when they evacuated, although most of the buildings were demolished and burned, the trestle docks everywhere were left without damage, which left a feeling of hurried withdrawal of sea wolves, and it was more convenient for the officers and soldiers to land on the island to load and unload supplies here.
Under the leadership of the Seawolf, the sea wolf fleet finally looked at Nanri Island. Each ship, led by the Sea Wolf, sounded three cannons in turn, and then the fleet completed the assembly on the sea. First, it sailed east to the eastern sea of Nanri Island, and then began to lose Yang Fan in the direction of Wuqiu Island.
Shortly after they left, several officers' ships sailed out of Xinghua Bay and headed for Nanri Island, but before they approached Nanri Island, they immediately saw several flying-shaped fastships rushing at them. These officer-armed sentry ships were in a bad situation and turned around and ran away, but in front of the flexible and fast flying-shaped fast ships. Their actions have no effect at all.
After only a short exchange of fire, these officers' sentry ships were captured or destroyed by the sea wolf's flying-shaped fast fleet. Although the sea wolf has withdrawn from Nanri Island, it still left a few dozen flying-shaped fast ships, cruising in the South Japan waterway and from north to south, maintaining the South Japan Island. The blockade does not allow anyone or ships to approach Nanri Island.
Therefore, although the officers and soldiers are far away on land, they can see the thick smoke rising in the sky in the direction of Nanri Island, but they can't find out the specific situation on Nanri Island. They can only wait for the large fleet to arrive here to know how Nanri Island is.
(Today, I would like to thank the "for the tribe" brothers for their reward! Dare to ask, do you still have a monthly ticket? Ha ha!)
