My life skills in Daming Liver

Captain Alfonso didn't understand why Su Ze named the clipper.

Flying, Dutchman?

As a Portuguese captain, Captain Alfonso has no affection for the Dutch.

The Dutch who are gradually rising, these damned Protestants, are competing with the Portuguese for the right to teach and trade in the East.

But Captain Alfonso was much happier after seeing Su Ze order Changningwei's craftsmen to empty the ship of sand and stuff bundles of gunpowder into the cabin.

He probably thought of Su Ze's thoughts. So the so-called "Flying Dutchman" is so flying?

Captain Alfonso wanted to see for himself how the huge fireworks exploded and how the "Dutchman" flew into the sky.

Changningwei began the final preparation work, adjusting the sails, improving the hull, strengthening the bottom of the ship, and placing explosives.

Su Ze was working on delay fuses in the firearms workshop. In order to ensure the explosion, Su Ze designed multiple parallel fuses that were ignited at the same time, just to ensure that the gunpowder would be detonated.

In addition, Su Ze also made the two ships look old, making them look similar to the Crooked Hoof people's ships.

Immediately afterwards, at the suggestion of Captain Alfonso, Su Ze installed two Franco cannons on the bow and stern of Changningwei's Fuchuan. After several experiments on the ship, the decks of the bow and stern could withstand With the recoil of firing the cannon, Changning Wei can be regarded as having a gunboat.

However, the gunner still needs the Portuguese to operate, and Lin Mojun had to let the Portuguese gunner board the ship.

As the war approached, Captain Alfonso also felt the atmosphere of the battle. The Changning Guard practiced so much day and night, and built a gunpowder explosion ship, it must be a war.

As a restless captain, Captain Alfonso found Su Ze.

"Su, are you going to fight Japanese pirates?"

Su Ze nodded. Now that Changning Guard is preparing for the battle, he is tight outside and sending inside. Changning Guard can only go in and out. He is not worried that the news will leak out.

Moreover, preparations on such a scale cannot be hidden from Alfonso, who is experienced at sea.

"Can I go with you?"

Su Ze was silent for a while and said, "Naval battles will be very dangerous."

"I want to see the naval battle in the East."

Su Ze thought about it, and agreed.

Captain Alfonso has been exposed to so many secrets, Su Ze has no idea of ​​letting Alfonso go back.

As long as he is paid enough, Su Ze believes that Captain Alfonso will definitely be willing to stay in Daming.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, many missionaries settled down in Daming soon after, and were accepted by the Qing court even after changing the Qing army and entering the pass.

Tang Ruowang was recommended by Xu Guangqi as an official, and the Qing court appointed him as the temple supervisor of Qin Tianjian.

September 12th was the day for the Crooked Hoofers to set off.

Su Ze stowed the sails of the two gunpowder boats and connected them behind the Crookedfoot fleet with iron chains.

Su Ze boarded the ship himself, and only waited until the entrance of the lagoon of Dong'ao Island, then spread the sails and lit the fuse, and waited for the gunpowder blasting ship to float to the port by itself.

Lin Mojun drove Chang Ningwei's two-hundred-year-old lucky boat, and followed the Crooked Hoofers' fleet far away.

Her mission is to pursue the ships that were not directly destroyed by the explosion, especially the Centipede of King Lu, to ensure that King Lu cannot escape back to Japan this time.

On the pier of Changningwei, it was Lin Cainiang who presided over the prayer ceremony for the battle.

Wearing the robes of temple blessings, Lin Cainiang raised the altar in a dignified manner, waved a wooden sword and opened the ceremony of praying for victory.

After the ceremony was over, Lin Cainiang splashed hot dog blood on the bow deck of the blessing boat, cut off a section of Lin Mojun's hair, wrapped it around an ancient copper coin, and enshrined it on the altar table. This praying ceremony was complete It's done.

Ninth Aunt looked at Cai Niang with relief, it was a complicated ritual to go to war to pray for marriage, but now Ninth Aunt's body was too weak to hold on to such a long ceremony.

Although Lin Cainiang has rehearsed several times, Aunt Jiu is still worried that she will make a mistake.

Now that it can be presided over satisfactorily, it seems that the family temple can be handed over to her with peace of mind.

Ninth Aunt then looked at Su Ze on the Flying Dutchman, at Lin Mojun on the Fu Chuan, and at the tall figure of Chang Ningwei on the Fu Chuan.

Ninth Auntie prayed devoutly to Third Master Tai, she must come back safely!

The people in Changningwei were all suffocating in their hearts, and it was their sons, husbands, and brothers who died in battle with the ordinary households.

The blood feud with the Japanese pirates cannot be resolved. It is not only the hatred of Lin Mojun's family, but the hatred of the entire Changning Guard.

No matter how many maritime merchants and even guards in Fujian colluded with the Japanese pirates, and how many Han people were coerced by the Japanese pirates to cause chaos, at this time Changning Weizheng had only one thought in his mind-to kill the Japanese!

Standing on the flying Dutchman, Su Ze looked at the neat figure on the lucky boat, and was filled with emotion in his heart.

The so-called justice is a slogan that can be shouted out with a straight chest.

Those maritime merchants, smugglers, and military guards who are afraid of war, no matter how much they say they have to do in life, no matter how many difficulties they have, and how many excuses they have, the only thing is that they will never be able to be honest. If you can't tell what you have done, you can only hide in the shadows and get by.

And the just thing is to be able to tell the world upright that what I did was right!

Now in Fujian, killing Japanese is the first-class justice!

No reason is needed, no excuses are needed, as long as the slogan "Kill the Japanese" is spoken, the most cowardly man will take up arms.

Changning Guard has countless reasons not to fight. Su Zeda can build a tower to defend, and King Lu may not attack such a poor small guard.

The Changning Guard was more than capable of protecting itself, so Lin Mojun could completely ignore the imperial court's military order to go to war, which is what most guards did anyway.

But after Su Ze proposed the plan to explode the ship with gunpowder, Lin Mojun was the first to express his support.

The soldiers of the Changning Guard were fighting like a rainbow, and Su Ze finally understood what it meant to be "famous for his teachers".

Su Ze thought of the era when China was sinking hundreds of years later, how righteous and lingering it was that countless people with lofty ideals stepped forward and shouted the slogan "Save the Nation".

Many of them are from well-to-do families, and even members of vested interest groups themselves, who can become the top of others without doing anything.

But these people with lofty ideals have given up everything and devoted themselves to that torrent, isn't it because of justice?

At this time, there was only one thought in Su Ze's mind, and that was to "kill the Japanese"!

This voyage will be longer than the last one, and Su Ze is always worried that the two ships full of gunpowder will fall apart while sailing at sea, or the gunpowder will accidentally explode.

Fortunately, the balance is on Changningwei's side. On September 14th, the moon has turned round, and the cold moon hangs high in the sky. According to Su Ze's calculation, it is not far from Dong'ao Island.

Sure enough, when it was dawn, Su Ze could already see the coral reef off Dong'ao Island.

Surrounding Dongao Island in the crescent state, there is a circle of coral reefs. These coral reefs isolate the wind and waves from the open sea and form the lagoon of Crescent Bay.

In the distance of the Crooked Hoof fleet, Lin Mojun also saw the mountains in the center of Dongao Island with a telescope.

It was not the first time that the Crooked Hooves had come. The pirate patrol boat was immediately relieved when they saw them, and did not board the boat for inspection at all.

Su Ze began to calculate the wind direction and sea water velocity, and adjusted the direction of the sail.

God is on Changningwei's side again, the wind is blowing right towards Crescent Bay, and Su Ze doesn't even need to adjust the direction of the sail too much.

Lin Mojun watched the Crookedhoof fleet enter the lagoon, her hands tightly holding the binoculars, and then she waited.

After unloading the grain, the Crooked Hoof Man was ready to return. After adjusting the sails, Su Ze untied the iron chain, lit the fuze, and jumped on the Crooked Hoof Man's boat.

The Japanese pirates on patrol did not notice that the two ships had left the Crooked Hoof fleet and headed for the wharf in Crescent Bay along the wind.

At this time, King Lu was still sleeping in the Tianshou Pavilion on the cliff, with his concubine Ji in his arms.

The Japanese pirates who had been hungover in the tavern all night came out in twos and threes, and stood on the pier blowing the cool breeze of sobering up.

Only a few Japanese pirates can still be regarded as staying on the job, but there is no strict discipline.

Japanese pirates are bandits after all, maybe they are vicious and cruel, but they have nothing to do with strict military discipline.

What's more, from King Lu to ordinary Japanese pirates on the pier, none of them would have thought that the Ming army would be so bold as to attack Dongao Island.

The Crookedfoot fleet sailed out of the lagoon, and Su Ze looked back at the Crescent Bay. The flying Dutchman had already taken the lead and was about to rush to the pier.

At this time, the Japanese pirates on the watchtower finally noticed the abnormality, but the Japanese pirates on the pier did not board the ship immediately. Instead, they gathered on the pier excitedly, watching the strangely shaped boat rushing towards them.

Where did this boat come from?

This is the question that the Japanese pirates on the pier were thinking about. When the flying Dutchman rushed into the side of the boat on the pier, there were also daring Japanese pirates who jumped onto the boat.

Seeing that the flying Dutchman had rushed into the pier, Su Ze's heart was half relieved. Looking at the little hourglass left in his hand, the next step was to wait.

The Japanese pirates who had just jumped onto the boat were still searching on the deck. These wandering warriors with Japanese hair were the confidantes brought by King Deer from Kagoshima.

Is this the Crookedhoof's ship? Was the rope blown over by the wind after it accidentally broke?

The gang of Japanese pirates started to have fun, they were tired of playing with the women captured on the island, they thought that the Crooked Hoof Man was hiding below the deck, and they were going to have a good "play" with them.

The deck leading to the cabin had already been nailed to death, and now the pirates were even more excited. The Crooked Hoof must have been hiding below the deck.

The alcohol of the hangover was mixed with animal desire. A Japanese warrior used a Japanese sword to pry open the nailed deck. The group of Japanese pirates jumped out of the cabin and smelled a strong smell of sulfur.

Isn't this the smell of gunpowder?

boom!

With a loud bang, the last sight the Japanese pirates boarded the Flying Dutchman saw was the red flames that instantly filled the eyeballs.

In addition to gunpowder, four cylinders of tung oil were also installed on board.

The violent explosion swept all the Japanese ships near the flying Dutchman, and the tung oil that was blown into the sky fell on the ground like a rain of fire.

The group of Japanese pirates who were watching the theater on the deck were either blown away by the violent explosion shock wave, or directly smashed into a sieve by the crushed stones in the ballast. The Japanese pirates who survived these two catastrophes also did not escape the rain of fire. The lit tung oil fell on them, and the pier became a sea of ​​flames.

When King Lu heard the explosion, he suddenly woke up, walked out of the room with his clothes on, and saw the tragic scene of Crescent Bay Wharf!

What the hell is going on!

The deer king was still in great shock, and the second big firework was lit.

This is not Changningwei's Yong ship, but the tung oil fire rain that ignited the gunpowder warehouse at the pier, and all the gunpowder stored in the warehouse was ignited. This time, the explosion power was no less than that of the flying Dutchman. All the houses on the docks were leveled!

In the end what happened!

King Deer was angry first, followed by great fear.

My fleet is all on Crescent Bay, if the fleet is gone, how can I return to Japan?

Seeing that the Centipede was still moored at sea, King Lu relaxed a bit. Fortunately, the Centipede had a deep draft, so it did not dock at a port close to the shore, but near the exit of the lagoon.

But how long did King Lu's joy last, and the third big firework was also lit.

The Yong boat drove to the side of the Wuwan, and there was another violent explosion. A big hole was blown out of the bow of the Wuwan, the mast was blown down, flames spread on the deck, and the whole ship began to tilt.

"Baga! My boat!"

King Lu screamed, he quickly put on his clothes and rushed towards the Tianshou Pavilion, and rushed towards the pier.

Lin Mojun's warship was approaching the entrance of the lagoon, and Captain Alfonso stood on the bow, overlooking the terrifying scene in front of the pier.

Looking at the Crescent Bay that was completely engulfed in flames, Captain Alfonso was completely shocked by the power of the gunpowder explosion.

He thought of the scene of hell depicted in Dante's Divine Comedy, and it took him a long time to highlight the word "hell".

It's not that Alfonso has never seen a fire attack. When he was young, he joined the Portuguese Navy and competed with the Ottomans for the port of the Persian Gulf.

But compared with Changningwei's fire boat, the Ottoman's fire boat is rubbish!

It can be seen with the naked eye that the fire in the port is soaring into the sky, and the small-tonnage ships moored in the port have already caught fire or capsized and sunk.

The deck of a large ship like the Centipede was also on fire, and a large hole was blown in the stern, and sea water poured into it. The entire ship had run aground, leaving only half exposed to the sea.

Only a few ships that were relatively far from the port were not damaged, but in the face of such a terrifying scene, these ships had no way to rescue them, and could only watch the pier sink into the sea of ​​fire.

King Lu rushed from the castle tower to the edge of the beach, looking at the wharf like a sea of ​​flames fiercely, followed King Lu with his armored men and boarded the escape boat, and headed towards a Japanese ship that was not affected by the explosion. cross out.

"Your Majesty, let's go back to Wa Kingdom!"

At this time, King Lu still didn't know what happened at the port. Even if the powder magazine on the shore exploded, it wouldn't be so powerful.

And how did the centipede sink so far away from the pier during my period?

With all kinds of doubts, King Lu boarded the escaped Japanese boat. At this moment, he heard another cannon fire, and a lucky boat flying the Ming flag got stuck at the exit of the lagoon.

King Lu understood everything, it was the Ming army!
