Vol 4 Chapter 968: Shark catch

Shen Liangqiu's plan was thorough, and Qi Ning knew that in order to catch the black tiger shark, the general Shen really did lose a lot of thoughts.
"Does the sailor often patrol the sea?" Qi Ning asked.
Shen Liangqiu said: "Several ships will be sent out every month. Occasionally a dozen ships will be sent out. One is to deter sea bandits and make them dare not to approach the coast. In addition, it is also used for military training. In the name of patrolling the sea, three men and women are sent. This is also the thing that the sailors have several times a year. Even if the pirates get the wind, they will never know our true intentions. The other two men and women patrol the sea as usual, and Humble will not disclose this action to them, so they should only be true cruisers. "
"Using those two groups of horses as a cover, the sea bandits couldn't figure out our true intentions, and then stabbed the black tiger shark silently like a sharp blade, which was good." Qi Ning thought for a moment, and finally said: "Since there is such an opportunity, even if the information is inaccurate, it really should not be missed. General Shen, when are you going to leave?"
Shen Liangqiu agreed with Qi Ning and immediately said: "Hou Ye, the three clippers used this time can travel more than ten nautical miles every hour, but in order to achieve the purpose of a sudden attack, we try to avoid the bandit activities as much as possible. Frequent seas. "Open your hand and press your palm on an area on the chart, explaining:" So we try to avoid this sea as much as possible. "Stretching a finger and drawing an arc, softly said:" So In the first place, we need to go southeast. In order to reach the Unnamed Island, we may need 50 or 60 nautical miles of extra road, which would add up to more than 300 nautical miles! "
"That is to say, from here, it will take two days at least to arrive?"
Shen Liangqiu first said: "We are non-stop day and night. If everything goes well, we should be able to arrive within two days." Archer said: "Hou Ye, it's not too late. Humble will be ready to set off tonight. I also invite Hou Ye to sit in the navy, Waiting for the good news of the humble general! "
"General Shen said to keep Ben Hou in the camp?" Qi Ning sighed: "Old Lord Hou asked Ben Hou to come to the East China Sea to find out the cause of death of Metropolitan Governor. Now that he knows that the death of Metropolitan Governor is related to the Black Tiger Shark How can Ben Hou sit here and wait, naturally seeing the black tiger shark being caught. (The fastest update) "
Shen Liangqiu was startled and surprised: "Hou Ye, do you mean?"
"General Shen must not misunderstand." Qi Ning smiled: "This operation, Ben Hou went with you, just to see the Black Tiger Shark caught and brought to the scene with his own eyes, and he never wanted to attack General Shen. "
Shen Liangqiu was taken aback and immediately knelt down on one knee. Tang Hui and Zhu Shuo immediately knelt down. Shen Liangqiu said with a trace of apprehension: "The humble will never have this idea, Hou Ye!"
"I know I know." Qi Ning lifted Shen Liangqiu and said with a smile: "This operation, Benhou is just a spectator. You can rest assured that you will be in charge of everything before the end of the operation. Benhou will never intervene in this matter. You just think Ben Hou is a sailor on your ship. "
Shen Liangqiu hesitated for a while, and finally said: "The humble will not have other ideas, but worry about the safety of Hou Ye. This action in order to be as secret as possible, not many people, once!"
"General Shen is worried about being trapped by the bandits?" Qi Ning laughed: "Don't you say that our three ships are all Clippers? If we are in danger, we will not be able to catch up with the bandits even if we retreat." Pat Shen Liangqiu's arm lightly and say, "You don't have to look forward and back. This time, we will call it shark catching operation. We hope it will be successful. If you really catch the black tiger shark, it will not only remove the great evil in the East China Sea, but also You can comfort the great governor in the spirit of heaven. At that time, Hou will personally write to the court to give your credit to the court, and the court will have its own award. "
Shen Liangqiu bowed solemnly: "Humble Lord thank Hou Ye!"
After deliberation, Shen Liangqiu led Qi Ning to the seaside, looking out, the sea was orderly docked with naval warships, and the masts were like forests.
Qi Ning also knew a little about sailors earlier. Today, the East China Sea Marine Division has a force of 20,000 and more than 200 warships. Although its strength and combat experience are slightly inferior to that of the East Qi Marine Division, except for the East Qi Water Division Division, the East China Sea Division is already the most powerful marine corps under the sky.
The East Sea Water Division was formed by Jin Dao and Dan Tai Huang, and it is also the strongest strength in the hands of the Jin Dao Dan Tai family. Over the past few years, the Dan Tai family has not had to worry about less than 200 warships. Among them, half of them were built every year after the formation of the East China Sea Marine Division, which consumed huge financial and material resources, but the performance of the warship was also very good.
The warship that Qi Ning saw was not equipped with artillery. He knew that the artillery had not yet appeared at this time.
The battleships of the East China Sea Division are large and small. The largest battleship can accommodate two or three hundred people. The smallest battleship can also accommodate thirty or forty people. The fifteen ships are the main battleships of the East China Sea Division.
These fifteen warships were built after the formation of the East China Sea Marine Corps, and a large amount of silver was allocated from the court. Like the fifteen sea monsters, the warships were equipped with catapults at the bow and stern of the ship. When the ship is engaged in long-distance combat, bows and arrows and catapults have become the most dependable weapons. Once approaching the enemy ship, collision with the enemy ship has become an important means of combat.
The bow and stern of the battleship are equipped with armor, and the spikes are deliberately extended, which is used for close combat.
The three clippers mentioned by Shen Liangqiu are already docked on the shore, and they are ready to go at any time. The steers, food, and water on the ship are all ready. Because of the speed, none of the three ships are very large. Large, and the main battleship of the East China Sea Division is not far behind, but it is much larger than the ordinary fishing boat.
Each clipper can accommodate up to 40 people. Shen Liangqiu plans to arrange 30 elite soldiers on each ship, but Qi Ning wants to participate in the operation, Hou Ye will be in the field, and Wu Dalin and other ten guards will naturally follow, so the total number will be It was a hundred people. Shen Liangqiu could only change his plan. He transferred five people to the other two boats from the boat he was riding on. Qi Ning and ten others took the boat from Shen Liangqiu.
At dusk, Shen Liangqiu issued a general order, and the soldiers who had been dispatched in advance immediately boarded the ship. Qi Ning saw the soldiers in an orderly manner, without any sense of clutter. He was quite admired in his heart. Trained to become a combatable army.
The 20,000 sailors are the home of the Dantai family, so the selection of soldiers is also very strict. Every soldier is a capable person, and they are all young and middle-aged, regardless of physical strength or energy.
By observing the actions of these naval forces, Qi Ning knew that the East China Sea Army had indeed undergone extremely strict training, and the order was banned.
Zhu Shuo and Tang Hui also led the soldiers to board the ship. Shen Liangqiu then invited Qi Ning to board the ship. Wu Darin and others had already put on sailor uniforms and followed Qi Ning to board the ship.
Before going dark, the Three Route Marines set off separately, all the way northeast, all the way southeast, and the three fast boats went straight to the east.
The most important thing about water navigation is to be able to identify the direction. Fortunately, Sinan has appeared in this era. There are special people on board to control the direction. In fact, for people who have lived on the sea for a long time, the direction can even be roughly judged from the wind direction.
Shenliangqiu carries the charts of the East China Sea. As the commander of the East China Sea Division, this map is naturally the most accurate chart at present. However, the islands and reefs found on the map are almost always the exact location, and Shenliangqiu has already been After determining the exact location and distance of the Unnamed Island, according to the speed of the boat, you can determine how far away it is from the Unnamed Island.
These sailors are all carefully selected soldiers, not only one by one, but also very familiar with the environment at sea.
Some people have paid attention to the direction. Some people have tested the speed of the ship. Various messages have been sent to Shenliangqiu. Shenliangqiu can use the information on hand to control the direction of the boat. The two clippers of Tang Hui and Zhu Shuo follow like two wings. On both sides, like three arrows, sailing quickly at sea.
Because Qi Ning accompanied him, the only two cabins on the ship made one room for Qi Ning to rest, and the other one served as Shen Liangqiu's command room.
Early the next morning, Qi Ning saw the rising sun rising from the bow, confirming the direction of the ship was indeed correct.
Today is a good day. After a night of sailing, the ship has already moved away from the coastline. The sea is calm and the waves are clean. Looking at the endless sea, the mood is relaxed, and the seagulls hovering above the sea add to the vast sea. A little bit angry.
"Hou Ye got up early!" Qi Ningzheng was relaxed and happy. There was a voice behind him. He didn't have to look back. Qi Ning had already heard Shen Liangqiu. He looked back and saw Shen Liangqiu coming over. He nodded with a smile: "General Shen slept late last night? "
Shen Liangqiu looked a little haggard ~ EbookFREE.me ~ I knew at first glance that I stayed overnight.
Shen Liangqiu just smiled and walked across the railing, saying: "Navigating at sea, the day is okay, I am afraid that the weather will change suddenly at night. Once the storm is ushered, it will be a little trouble. There was a faint thunder sound last night, and the humble will return I ’m really worried about the storm. Fortunately, everything goes well. "
"Everything goes well." Qi Ning smiled: "If you can successfully catch the black tiger shark, this trip can be considered a full harvest."
Shen Liangqiu nodded slightly, and Qi Ning suddenly asked, "General Shen, I heard that you are the old son of the old Hou Ye?"
Shen Liangqiu was stunned, apparently did not expect that Qi Ning would suddenly mention this topic, hesitated, and then nodded lightly: "Going back to Hou Ye, my father followed the old Hou Ye to fight and became a brother. Raising the humble will be an adult, and receiving the humble will be the righteous son. "
"Old Master Hou mentioned it." Qi Ning sighed: "Old Master Hou also said that when you had the same temperament with the second son of Dantai, you also became the brothers of Jinlan. Later, the second son died because of illness, and you grieved and went out. Traveled for three years. "
Shen Liangqiu looked sad and smiled bitterly: "Bei will always be taken care of by the second son. He will be treated like a brother. He will suddenly die, and he will be unbearable. The fact that he has traveled for a few years is actually to ease the grief in his heart." Looking up at the sky, murmured: "If the second son is alive, it will be my great Chu's talent!"
