Troubled Times: Start with 800 Dead Soldiers

Su Xia is assigning tasks to "street rat" Zhang San, and the assignment has just been completed.

At the door, a man in plain clothes hurried in and took off his hat. It was none other than Handi Kulu Zhugui.

Seeing the hurried look on Zhu Gui's face, Su Xia knew that there must be an emergency!

As expected, Zhu Guifu whispered a few words in Su Xia's ear.

Su Xia was stunned, "Shi Qiantian dares to do this? 4000 taels of silver?"

"Yes, it's absolutely true. The secret line I arranged in the Xiang Army reported to me that he was at the scene of the rape."

Su Xia grinned and looked at Zhu Gui in front of her, "That's great, Zhu Gui. I didn't expect that all the people you arranged would be placed next to Shi Qiantian!"

"Sir, please stop making fun of me. I bought this news from Shi Qiantian's personal bodyguard for 20 taels of silver."

"Tell me the details!"

"Ximen Qing and Shi Qiantian's concubine Hehua were caught committing adultery yesterday. Ximen Qing was asked to pay 4000 taels of silver..."

Su Xia asked in confusion; "If I remember correctly, isn't this Lotus Zhang Ence's woman?"

"Yes, after Zhang Ence died, Hehua became Shi Qiantian's woman."

Su Xia thought for a moment, "Tell me about the woman Lotus first."

"As far as I know, this woman was an actress in the beginning! Because she was very fair and beautiful, she was forced to take her home as a concubine by Zhang Ente.

Before Zhang Ence's death, that is, before our actions, he had asked him to sleep with Yuntianbiao. Later, he slept with Shi Qiantian. Judging from the men she was sleeping with, this woman should be a wanton woman... ..."

Zhu Gui made a judgment on the lotus.

Su Xia shook her head, "I don't think so. He Hua is just Zhang Ence's concubine. She can't make the decision to accompany Yun Tianbiao. Let He Hua accompany Yun Tianbiao. This can only mean that Zhang Ente does not value He Hua, or It is said that Zhang Ente is a little perverted in his heart.

After Zhang Ence's death, she lived under someone else's roof and became Shi Qiantian's concubine. It was understandable that she was looking for a new supporter, but it was a bit outrageous that her first affair was discovered.

Also, they asked for 4000 taels of silver as compensation. Such a large sum of money was mentioned on the spot. The more I looked at it, the more it looked like they had made a trap, waiting for Ximen Qing to get into it. Ximen Qing suffered a dumb loss! "

"Yes, sir, I said 4000 taels of silver on the spot. How could this be such a coincidence!"

"Ximen Qing is dishonest. I have to teach him a lesson when I find the time. Next time, I will increase the price of the glass balls by [-]%, to ten taels of silver each! Let this guy give us some profit!"

Zhu Gui nodded.

Su Xia thought for a while and then said: "Our professionals are ambushing you in Yanggu County. Wait a minute, I will write a letter and you will send this letter to a man named Wu Dalang in Yanggu County!"

.......

The two were discussing Ximen Qing's affairs in the house when an officer from the Ping Navy walked over quickly.

Su Xia recognized this officer. He was the commander of the scout unit!

"Report, general, the smoke has just started on the islands and reefs. The scouts came to report and found that the warships of the Japanese pirates attacked here from the Pinghai Sea."

"Where did the smoke start?"

In the southeastern sea area of ​​​​Dengzhou Wei, from the perspective of the launch of the smoke, they will land in at most an hour!

"Quickly, blow the first-level combat readiness assembly call and order the first and second brigades of the navy's first combat detachment, second combat detachment, and artillery detachment to assemble quickly. We must block this pirate before landing."

The Ping Navy has a lookout point far away from the coastline all year round. It had been abandoned long ago due to lax armaments.

After Su Xia took over as the commander of the Pinghai Navy and specially trained the new army, these things were inherited and specialized people were deployed for defense.

Training is fighting, training is fighting!

The urgent bugle sound immediately sounded in the Ping Navy Camp.

The First Combat Detachment and the Second Combat Detachment of the Pinghai Navy are both water combat detachments.

Especially after rigorous training and the battle against pirates such as "Yeye Bridegroom" Du Kang and "Dwarf Tiger" Wang Ying, the combat effectiveness has been greatly improved.

In less than 10 minutes, the navy was fully equipped.

On the warship, even in normal times, there are dedicated personnel stationed on the ship. Su Xia calls this combat readiness duty!

And it is divided into three levels, two levels, one level and three levels of combat readiness alert!

These things are all memories left over from Su Xia's time in the special forces.

After becoming the commander of Shangping Navy, these things were put into practice.

Lieutenant General Li Dong was dressed neatly.

"Report, 864 people from the first navy detachment should have arrived, but 864 people actually arrived. The warship inspection has been completed!"

"Report, 793 people from the second navy detachment should have arrived, but 792 people actually arrived. One person has returned home, and the warship inspection has been completed!"

"Report, 587 people from the artillery detachment were supposed to arrive, but 587 people actually arrived. The artillery fire is ready!"

"Report, the third navy detachment should have 1037 people, but actually 1035 people arrived. Two people were injured in the last battle!"

Su Xia sent an order to the messenger, "Immediately assemble the first brigade of the third detachment (land combat) and order it to board the ship with the battle."

"Vice Admiral Li, the other brigades of the Third Detachment have stayed in camp and are waiting. The remaining brigade of the Artillery Detachment has also been given to your command. You immediately lead the 3rd Navy Detachment to the offshore waters of Dengzhou Guards Station. The Third Detachment Cavalry The brigade conducts mobile operations to prevent the enemy from landing.

The two brigades of the 1st detachment and the 2nd detachment went with me to fight at sea, leaving one brigade to look after the house for the time being. "

It only took 10 minutes from the emergency gathering to the officers and soldiers setting off with the warship.

Su Xia has already set off with the main warships of the Ping Navy.

Nowadays, the ships of the Ping Navy are relatively well built.

Su Xia was riding on the main warship. The warship was larger than any previous Pinghai Navy ship and could accommodate nearly a hundred people! A unique name was given - "Flagship Chaoyong", the battle flag was high, and the two characters Pinghai were particularly conspicuous.

This is the main battleship of the Ping Navy that Su Xia spent a huge amount of money to build. It took three full months to build on Salmon Island.

The warship is 120 meters long, about 40 meters wide, has a displacement of nearly 3000 tons, and can accommodate nearly 200 officers and soldiers. It is almost as big as the treasure ship Zheng He sailed to the West in the Ming Dynasty.

The warship designed by Su Xia is covered with iron sheets. Iron plates are placed in important places, which may slow down the speed of the entire ship. However, compared to these, what Su Xia is most afraid of is being attacked by fire!

Therefore, it is still necessary to sacrifice a little bit of the maneuverability and speed of the battleship.

At the same time, there are holes on the left and right sides of the Super Brave battleship, which can be used to release arrows. Of course, when muskets are built in the future, they can be used as gun holes.

There is a bronze ramming angle on the top of the ship specially designed to hit other ships!

Also at the top is the giant cannon developed by Hongtianlei Lingzhen - the Golden Wheel Cannon!

Although the firing speed of the Golden Wheel Cannon is very slow and the distance is relatively short, at a distance of about [-] meters, the hit rate and power are still terrifying! The effect is very good in actual combat!

The "Weiyuan Cannon" recently developed by Ling Zhen and Sun Sihe has also been equipped on this ship. There are 15 gun positions on the left and right sides, which can rotate 120 degrees.
