【Today's first update is delivered!】

"Yang Tiansheng came out this time."

After reading the information, Zhang Zhun said to himself.

Information shows that Yang Tiansheng dispatched more than 30 warships, including at least five three-masted gunships, which are basically all Yang Tiansheng's family. It seems that this time Chen Lingfei's trip to the *** really greatly stimulated the Zheng Zhilong Pirate Military Group, and they were going to confront him head-on.

On the sea surface of East Asia, the three-masted gunship can be regarded as the ultimate weapon. The three-masted gunship owned by the Zheng Zhilong Pirate Military Group has a displacement of about 600 tons and is equipped with more than 40 artillery pieces. Among them, the most eye-catching thing is that the bow and stern of the three-masted gunship are equipped with two red cannons, a total of four.

Due to the design reasons, the three-masted gunship cannot be equipped with strong recoil on both sides of the ship, so it is installed on the bow and stern. This design has a good side and a bad side. The good side is that the three-masted gunship is equipped with cannons in all directions, which can shoot in all directions at the same time, and basically no shooting dead spots are available.

At the same time, due to the special placement, the recoil of the red-clothed cannon can be effectively decomposed, and the stability and accuracy of the shelling are greatly improved. Without the strong influence of the recoil, the warship will be more stable when it is horizontal, greatly reducing the chance of accidents.

On the bad side, the red-clothed cannon is arranged at the bow and stern. When firing, only two cannons are facing the enemy, and they cannot form enough firepower advantages. The power of the red-clothed cannon is indeed much more powerful than that of ordinary Flang machine cannons, which is daunting, but the number cannot reach a certain level and its power cannot be fully exerted.

To be honest, on the sea, one or two powerful artillery cannons cannot determine the outcome of the battle. Naval battle is different from land battles. Most of the shells are actually shot into the sea. On a shaking warship, it is basically impossible to hit the target directly. The number of shells must be relied on to increase the hit rate.

Therefore, Zhang Zhun was not very nervous about the red cannons of Yang Tiansheng's fleet. The five three-masted gunships, all of which were twenty. The three fleets of the Tiger Ben Army Navy had thirty sword-toothed ships, and all of which were nearly one thousand artillery. With the thirty flying dragon cannons of Cangshan ships, there were definitely more than one thousand. The twenty red cannons, compared with more than one thousand flying dragon cannons, are indeed very limited.

In addition to five three-masted gunships, Yang Tiansheng's fleet mainly consists of armed merchant ships with a displacement of 200 tons or 30 tons. These armed merchant ships are mainly based on the No. 2 Fu Ship or No. 3 Fu Ship. In general, the number of cannons on these armed merchant ships is generally about 20 to 30. The total number of warship artillery guns of all warships is about 600. Moreover, the type of artillery of Yang Tiansheng's fleet is mainly the Folang machine cannon, which is weaker than the flying dragon cannons of the Tiger and Ben Army Navy.

Zhang Zhun estimated that Zheng Zhilong's Pirate Military Group, so far, should not fully understand the strength of the Tiger Ben Army Navy. Otherwise, Zheng Zhilong would never send Yang Tiansheng north alone. Six hundred gates against more than one thousand gates, no matter how you look at it, it would be another matter.

"Where is the First Fleet?"

Zhang Zhun suddenly asked.

"Resuming in Weihaiwei Military Port."

Yang Qiufeng replied.

After the First Fleet returned from the ***, it has been repairing at Weihaiwei Army Port. Maintenance of naval warships is a very important task and takes a lot of time. If measured in ten days, a large warship basically has three days of combat patrol, three days of training, and four days of maintenance. The First Fleet went to the *** and experienced strong winds and waves. After returning, it will definitely be repaired.

"Order them to move as soon as possible to move to Partridge Bay Military Port."

Zhang Zhun ordered in a deep voice.

"clear!"

Yang Qiufeng is recorded on the record.

"Where is the Second Fleet?"

Zhang Zhun asked again.

"Also rest in Weihaiwei Military Port."

Yang Qiufeng replied.

The second fleet is to serve the first fleet. If the first fleet needs support, it will provide strong support. To be precise, if the Tiger Army Navy fights with the Zheng Zhilong Pirate Fleet in the *** waters, the two fleets of the Tiger Army Navy will rush forward, beat the other side and give Zheng Zhilong a warning.

However, in ***, Chen Lingfei did not encounter any major events. Zheng Zhilong's pirate army did not appear in the *** waters, so strong support was useless. When the first fleet returned, the second fleet also returned, and is currently in the maintenance stage.

"Order them to move to Partridge Bay Military Harbor as well."

Zhang Zhun ordered in a deep voice.

"clear!"

Yang Qiufeng is also recorded.

"Where is the Third Fleet?"

Zhang Zhun continued to ask.

"It's still on Ganghwa Island, Korea."

Yang Qiufeng replied.

After the Third Fleet arrived at Ganghwa Island in North Korea, the North Korean rebel navy did not dare to respond and retreated quickly. The Third Fleet was stationed near Ganghwa Island, putting pressure on the surrendered factions within North Korea. At the same time, it was also a plan to protect Queen Yi'an Zhang Yan's visit to North Korea. Because the Third Fleet had been cruising near Ganghwa Island, the pressure on the surrendered factions in North Korea was indeed very high.

"Ask them to return to Partridge Bay Military Harbor as fast as possible."

Zhang Zhun said in a deep voice.

"clear!"

Yang Qiufeng hurriedly agreed to go.

Zhang Zhun stood up and paced back and forth in front of the map.

All three fleets of the Hu Ben Navy were dispatched to wait for the arrival of Yang Tiansheng's fleet near the outlet of Mawan. Zhang Zhun estimated that there was no problem in winning between the two sides when they fought. After all, this was the home court of the Hu Ben Navy. It was absolutely impossible for Yang Tiansheng to achieve the goal of destroying the Hu Ben Navy.

However, even if the Hu Ben Army wins, it may be a tragic victory. Zhang Zhun estimated that after the battle, the Hu Ben Army's navy should suffer a relatively large loss. The Hu Ben Army's navy's advantage in the ocean is obviously not as strong as the army's advantage on land. Among them, the most critical reason is not the equipment issue, but the personnel issue.

The sailors of the Hu Ben Navy all became monks halfway through the journey. Compared with the Zheng Zhilong Pirate Group, they should be a little worse. After all, others have been making a living on the water for decades, and the accumulated experience and lessons are very rich. The gap between them cannot be caught up in a short period of time.

Of course, Zhang Zhun didn't want to win miserably. Since Yang Tiansheng is here, it would be better to break his leg. Killing Yang Tiansheng would be like cutting off one of Zheng Zhilong's arms. In the future, it would be much better if Yang Tiansheng came in a fierce manner. However, Yang Tiansheng was in full force and it was probably not that easy to completely destroy him. The Hu Ben Navy still had to concentrate all its strength.

After pondering for a while, Zhang Zhun said in a deep voice: "Ye Longxin, ordered all Cangshan boats to concentrate in Mawan as quickly as possible and prepare to participate in the battle, and there must be no mistakes."

Ye Longxin agreed to go immediately.

The Cangshan ships of the Hu Ben Navy cannot fight from the ocean, but are very active near the sea. In the chaotic naval battle, they are good at attacking enemy ships. Although the Cangshan ship is small in size, the six flying dragon cannons they carry are still very powerful, especially when firing grape bullets or chain bullets, it is enough to cause great trouble to the enemy's large ships.

In addition, such a battle is a good opportunity for all the captains of the Cangshan Ship. One actual battle can stand up to several drills. In real battles, people's mentality is completely different and the growth rate will be particularly fast. The shipbuilding of the Hu Ben Navy has formed an assembly line, and a large number of warships are constantly launched, and personnel training must also keep up with the pace.

After mobilizing all the navy's combat power, Zhang Zhuncai breathed a little relieved. His eyes fell on the military map. Yang Tiansheng's offensive target was undoubtedly the Quail Bay Military Port, which is unquestionable. The shipyard of the Hu Ben Army Navy is here. If you want to destroy the roots of the Hu Ben Army Navy, it is necessary to dig out this shipyard. In other words, the battlefield is basically certain, that is, it is near the sea outlet of Mawan.

The exit of Mawan has always been the home court of the Hu Ben Navy. Last time the Hu Ben Navy defeated Yang Tiansheng's northbound fleet here. This time, Yang Tiansheng came in person, and Zhang Zhun was not afraid of him. However, Zhang Zhun felt that it was necessary to come to the scene to command such an important battle.

"Go to Partridge Bay."

Zhang Zhun said to the people around him.

Soon, Zhang Zhun set out from Dengzhou City and headed to Queqiao Bay Military Port. Because the distance was relatively long, Zhang Zhun stayed in Laiyang for a night halfway and set off the next morning. When he arrived at Queqiao Bay Military Port, it was already the next afternoon.

Zhang Jun entered Caidiexuan alone and found that it was quiet here. There was only one woman sitting at the table, as if thinking about something. Zhang Jun coughed, and the woman turned her head and it was the British girl Sai Viala. She was wearing a traditional Ming women's skirt, which looked like a unique beauty. Her golden hair and blue eyes also had a bit of exotic style.

Seviara straightened her waist and said happily: "Oh! It turns out to be the Brigadier General! The wind is very strong today, and it blows you here."

Zhang Zhun nodded and said calmly: "What are you doing here?"

Seviara said with a smile: "Waiting for you!"

Zhang Zhun frowned and didn't say anything. Zhang Zhun was not very adaptable to Saiviara's enthusiasm. His eyes fell in front of Saiviara and found that he was thinking about the chart. Judging from the location of the chart, she should be thinking about the area from the Yangtze River Estuary to the Quail Bay Military Port. His heart moved slightly. This woman was interesting, but she was almost the same as her own.

Seviara smiled sly and asked meaningfully: "Brother General, the strong wind blows you here. Is it going to fight?"

Zhang Zhun shook his head and said, "No."

Seviara turned her blue eyes sly and said with a smile: "Brother General, you will gain weight. If you gain weight, you will not look good."

Zhang Zhun frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

Seviara said with a smile: "You Ming people's idioms are fat when you break your word. I just learned it, Yun Pei taught me. That is to say, if you lie, you will become very big and fat, like a pig. Brigadier General, don't you want to become a pig, do you? Even though you become a pig, you may also look pretty."

Zhang Zhun said angrily: "Use idioms. The meaning of breaking your word and being fat is not to lie or not to be trustworthy. It is to say that I promised you but I regret it. If I can't do it, I will gain weight. I will not break my word and become fat."

Seviara tilted her head and said in a daze: "Is that true? Is it like this to break your promise and be fat? Oh, that's why I remember it wrong. Damn, your Ming Dynasty language is so difficult to learn, especially these idioms, I often make mistakes."

Zhang Zhun sat down, glanced at the chart in front of her, frowned and said, "Where have they all gone? What are you thinking about here?"

Seviara smiled and said, "They all went to Yang Yinghan's place. It was your fiancée, her elder brother, your uncle, and gave birth to a fat baby. I also want to go, and I also want to meet your fiancée. However, they don't want me to go, saying that I appeared there would scare many people and be bad for your image. I want to be a good woman, so I have to stay at home. I already regard this place as my home. Alas, it feels good to be at home!"

Zhang Zhun ignored her crazy words and stood up and said, "Okay, you keep here, don't run around, I'll leave."

Seviara smiled slightly and said sly: "Brother General, are you going to prepare for the war?"

Zhang Zhun frowned and said, "Why are you talking so much?"

Saiviara said with a smile: "Brother General, you don't have to lie to me anymore. If you appear here, I know that a battle broke out. In fact, when Shen Lingfei came back from the ***, I knew that the war was not far away. Zheng Zhilong is not easy to deal with. He is not moving you, so he wants you to relax your vigilance, and then suddenly go out and copy your nest. I calculated the time. Zheng Zhilong's fleet should have set off. Am I right?"

Zhang Zhun said a little strangely: "Are you very familiar with Zheng Zhilong?"

Seviara asked replies without answering: "Brother General, tell me first, who is the one who led the army north this time?"

Zhang Zhun said calmly: "Guess!"

Saiviara really thought about it and said carefully: "Zheng Zhilong himself will definitely not come. He is reluctant to leave his big stall. Only Yang Tiansheng and Yan Siqi may go out. Yang Tiansheng has an old grudge with you, so he should be the one who comes. Zheng Zhilong also happened to borrow your hand to weaken Yang Tiansheng's strength. If there is no accident, Yang Tiansheng should be. Well, that's right, it's Yang Tiansheng. I guess right?"

Zhang Zhun nodded thoughtfully. This Saiviara seemed to be familiar with Zheng Zhilong's Pirate Military Group. Judging from the charts she observed, she really estimated that Yang Tiansheng went north. It's not surprising that others were making a living on the water, so of course they had to pay special attention to various military forces at sea.

However, she mentioned that Zheng Zhilong wanted to use his own hands to weaken Yang Tiansheng's strength. This news is quite valuable. In the past, the Hu Ben Navy fought with Yang Tiansheng many times, and there were such signs. Yang Tiansheng's strength was originally more than these thirty warships, but before that, many of them were destroyed by the Hu Ben Navy, and that was the only one left.

The relationship between Zheng Zhilong, Yan Siqi and Yang Tiansheng is very complicated. They are united in external affairs and seek benefits together, but internally, the three of them are fighting each other. In the past, because the external enemies are relatively strong, their internal struggles were not very powerful. However, when outsiders are not threatened by them, or if a boss doesn't want to maintain the status quo, the conflict will deepen. Especially when it comes to the issue of interests, even brothers, fathers and sons will turn against each other.

For his own interests, Zheng Zhilong dominated the *** market. Of course, Yang Tiansheng and Yan Siqi would not be very satisfied. The two of them are likely to join forces to fight Zheng Zhilong. Of course, Zheng Zhilong could not let the two join forces to deal with him. Therefore, it is necessary to find an opportunity to kill one of them and break up the alliance between the two. Which one is killed? Of course, it is Yang Tiansheng, who is the mastermind behind it.

Yang Tiansheng is quite cunning and cruel. He has always followed the basic principle of having milk and being a mother. As long as he gives him benefits, he will work hard for anyone. He turned out to be a dilapidated person, likes to bet and prostitutes, but he owes a lot of gambling debts and cannot repay them. So he sold his wife and daughter and went to sea to become a pirate.

Because he is cunning by nature, he finally got to his current status. However, it is precisely because of his cunning and his mother's principle of having milk, that Zheng Zhilong is also very vigilant about his actions. After all, no one wants to have such a poisonous snake around him.

Seviara suddenly said, "Brother General, during the war, please take me to see if you can?"

Zhang Zhun frowned and said, "What are you going to see?"

Saiviara said: "I want to see Yang Tiansheng's ugly appearance."

Zhang Zhun asked in surprise: "Why?"

Seviara said: "Because he had bullied me! He asked me to be his woman, but my father did not agree, so he refused to give my father supplies. I asked to compete with him in a sword, but he defeated him."

Zhang Zhun frowned and said, "Does Yang Tiansheng fall in love with you?"

Seviara said dissatisfiedly: "What kind of expression do you have? Do you think I'm ugly?"

Zhang Zhun wanted to speak but stopped. Of course you are not ugly, but you are very different from Chinese women after all. Yang Tiansheng has too many women around him, so he wants to find a foreign girl to change his taste?

Saiviara said dissatisfiedly: "Don't you think it's unfavorable for women to get on the boat, right?"

Zhang Zhun nodded and said casually: "No. Since you want to watch the game, then come."

Seviara hurriedly packed up the chart and followed Zhang Zhun.
