Xue Panzhi's gossip red mansion

"Looking at the weather, it seems a bit wrong!" Lao Fu stood on the deck. In the cloudless sky, he couldn't even see a seabird. The late autumn wind blew on his face, bringing a sea breeze especially salty taste.It was obviously a sunny and sunny day, but Lao Fu, who had been through the sea for a long time, could smell a hint of uncertainty. "Master, looking at the weather, I always feel that something is wrong, like a storm is coming. Let's speed up the ship and change the course. Instead of going directly to Tianjinwei, we should stop at Weihaiwei tonight."

Xue Pan looked at the endless Yellow Sea, and they were about to enter the junction of the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea.Xue Pan knows that he is not a person who lives at sea all year round.If Xia Gui were here, maybe he could see something, but they split into two groups, Xia Gui was on their newly built warship, and led the other ships to the coast of Qingdao, and went straight to Dongping Palace in Jinan.Xue Pan took the unearthed treasures, sat on another newly built ship, and went directly to Tianjin. He did not participate in the operation of "escorting" King Dongping to Beijing this time. After all, he was not a military officer.

The two groups of people separated at sea last night.It is reasonable to say that this is a foolproof operation, but Xue Pan's innate sensitivity to danger reminds him vaguely that there seems to be some danger tonight.Xue Pan had heard Lao Fu's words, and he was not sure whether this danger came from the storm at sea.It is reasonable to say that winter is not a period of frequent ocean storms, but everything is just in case, "Just as you said, let's change the course and set off in the direction of Weihaiwei."

That Xia Gui had already landed in Qingdao Port last night. Their team was elite soldiers trained by Xia Gui in Outer North for two years. On the ground of Daqing, it can be said that few people can match it.It only took an hour for Xia Gui to lead the army to capture Qingdao Port, and from here, he marched all the way to the Dongping Palace in Jinan.That night, Xia Gui marched wildly all the way, and under the shock of the force of the firearms battalion of the entire tiger and wolf division, it can be said that he arrived at Jinan City at noon the next day without any hindrance.

But never thought of it!After the army surrounded Jinan City and broke through the Dongping Palace, the Dongping King was not in the palace.Under severe torture, Xia Gui learned the bad news. When they landed in Qingdao, King Dongping also set off from Jinan to Yantai with his elite guards.It is necessary to log in to the warship from Weihaiwei and go straight to Tianjinwei.This king of Dongping is not a bit courageous. He has already bought and sold large foreigners' ships in private, and equipped himself with firearms, using the money he obtained from private transactions with the Northeast over the years.

King Dongping believed that no one in Daqing knew more about matters at sea than he did. Taking advantage of the chaos of the death of the Supreme Emperor, it would be better to log in from Tianjin in one fell swoop, attack the capital directly, and kill them by surprise. Already had his internal response.

When the time comes to ascend the Great Treasure and hold the power, those who disobey will be killed, and worry about not being able to establish their own dynasty.

In the Shandong area these years, no one can resist what he said.Although he didn't have many soldiers in his hands, they were all recruited privately, but they couldn't hold back his excellent weapons.I heard that in the war in northern Sichuan, the old guy King Xining was defeated by firearms, and the northern Sichuan army also won more with less, which set a good example for him.

Xia Gui's side immediately turned around and split into two groups. One group returned to Qingdao to support Xue Pan from the sea, and the other group went straight to catch up with King Dongping and headed for Yantai, hoping to intercept him before he boarded the ship. down them.Xia Gui kept riding his horse and galloping wildly, and that one was in a hurry. She could see a deadly battle floating thousands of miles away when she closed her eyes, because Xue Pan had only one new boat and two old boats. The king is bound to meet on a narrow road at sea.

Although Xue Pan's firepower and equipment should not be underestimated, according to the transactions he found with foreigners from the Dongping Palace, the old man may have prepared for many years and has sufficient artillery fire.Now we can only hope that Xue Pan will find out what's wrong early, and take advantage of the fierce firepower, fast firing rate and fast sailing characteristics of their ship's artillery to preemptively strike.

"Boom boom boom!—" Above the waters of the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea, when it was about to fall into the night, there was a loud and shocking sound.

"Don't stop, attack with all your strength! All the ships here are rebel ships. King Dongping colluded with foreign enemies, smuggled ships and firearms, and tried to log in to Tianjin from the Bohai Sea in vain, doing the opposite." Three shots were fired, and another burst of bombing was heard in the distance.

Just half an hour ago, when Xue Pan's ship diverted to enter Weihaiwei, the sailor saw through the telescope that there was a ship going out to sea hundreds of miles away. It was clearly a big red-haired Dutchman's ship.There were indeed not many people on Xue Pan's boat, except for Xun Shi's secret guard team, Xia Gui sent a small team to protect him, and the Xue family members who had been floating on the sea all year round.But it was these old people floating on the sea who immediately discovered something was wrong. Those were not merchant ships at all, but warships that were about to be decommissioned they had seen near Ryukyu Island. This discovery made Xue Pan's heart shudder.

According to the course of these ships, Xue Pan discovered that they were not returning to the Ryukyu area, but were clearly heading for Tianjin Wei.Because it is adjacent to the capital, the imperial court was afraid that the opening of Tianjin Wei would lead to complicated flow of people, so it is not a legal trading port at all.What is the purpose of these red-haired big ships departing from Weihaiwei to Tianjinwei?

In the blink of an eye, Xue Pan thought of a bold possibility. Could it be that King Dongping turned his back on him?Thinking about it carefully, King Dongping has been trading with the Northeast at sea. If you want to talk about Daqing's understanding of the Yellow Sea, he can be said to be No. 1.He seems to have been quiet these years, but if there is nothing unusual, why should he join forces with the big local forces? Can't he just be a quiet idler who reads like King Jing of Beijing.

Obviously, King Dongping took full advantage of his convenience along the coast, and added that Daqing's control over the sea was still completely blank, so he took advantage of this loophole.I'm afraid King Dongping also has a powerful weapon in his hands. Since even warships can be bought from Hongmao, it is very possible that there are a lot of firearms.In this way, coupled with the confidence given to him by winning more with less in the Northern Sichuan War, and taking advantage of the critical moment of the death of the Supreme Emperor, he simply did not stop doing anything and planned to take the opportunity to take the capital. Among the nine gates, there must be someone his people.Xue Pan wasn't worried about this point, if the army hadn't arrived, those insiders wouldn't dare to act rashly.But in this way, they must not be allowed to leave Bohai alive.

Regardless of what to do if these judgments are all wrong, Xue Pan knows that he only has two ships here. Although the ship under his feet is equipped with the most advanced firearms in the world today, and its force far exceeds that of the other party, the elephant also has two ships. Will be killed by ants.I don't know how many people there are with King Dongping, but they obviously don't have real sea combat experience, and they are still in a state of ignorance, and they are the first to strike first.

With the roar of the sky, King Dongping's fleet was beaten up. Before they noticed where the enemy was, several warships were shot through the hull by artillery.The sea water poured in, and after a while, the big ship showed signs of sinking.

"What are you still doing in a daze! Fight back! Hurry up and find out who is not open-eyed, who is so courageous and dares to confront us head-on, and knock them down with artillery!" Dongping Wang rushed to the place in a burst of shaking. On the deck, he snatched the binoculars from the people around him, and saw that several ships in his fleet had already suffered disaster.In the sky full of smoke, one can only rely on the direction of the enemy's artillery attack to determine the position of the rat who attacked him, "Southeast direction, fire at that position with all your strength, Jia Yi and Jia Er rush to the southeast direction at full speed, Even if it is a collision, I will overturn that ship!"

King Dongping never thought that he would be attacked on the Bohai Sea, which he is most familiar with, and I don’t know which country’s foreigners did it. He must not be forgiven lightly. Do you think he is a fat sheep? How dare he play pirates? That set, don't even look at his firearms, they are so well prepared.King Dongping never thought that it would be Daqing people who attacked him. Daqing didn't have a big ship at all this year, nor would it have such a huge firepower.

However, when Jia Yi and Jia Er started their first sea battle, Xue Pan's warship had already opened at full speed, drifting towards the west, and relying on their precise sailing skills and proficient bombardment skills , fired dozens of cannons at A[-] and A[-], and hit the ship impartially. I don’t know if it’s because these warships are left over from foreigners, and their performance is obviously not as good as A battleship commonly used by the Dutch.He couldn't get up to speed to avoid the attack of artillery fire, and after being attacked, he was immediately poured in by the sea water, and he was also buried in the sea.

"Turn back, and charge directly to King Dongping!" Xue Pan had no intention of running away, he could tell that King Dongping had a boat full of firearms, but he didn't have any experience in naval warfare at all. Coming to sea is totally out of the question.At this time, the comparison is the speed of the ship, and the comparison is also whether it can skillfully dodge the artillery fire all over the sky.

King Dongping didn't expect that Jia Yi and Jia Er died before they left the army. He was stunned and immediately adjusted the other ships to the front of his own ship to resist the unknown enemy. "Fire the cannon! Don't save me, shoot the cannon towards the east! Be sure to sink it for me."

There are cannons all over the sky again, even if Lao Fu travels well, he can't escape these overwhelming cannons. "Master! Look?!"

"Don't stop!" When Xue Pan was talking, a fire thunder exploded in the sea beside him, setting off a huge wave, which hit him and was thoroughly drenched.But Xue Pan's voice became more determined, "Rush over, we don't have as many artillery fires as theirs, but the advantage lies in the long range, so we must kill them first!"

"Boom boom boom—" In an instant, the artillery fired by the two sides exploded on the sea, and the large ships that blocked King Dongping were blown out of big holes one by one.Xue Pan’s place was also blasted with a big hole. Fortunately, thanks to different shipbuilding techniques, the watertight compartment of the automatic watertight door spans the entire ship, preventing the possibility of the big ship sinking when it receives an external attack or knocks over an iceberg in the sea.

King Dongping saw that the momentum was wrong. At this moment, the sky suddenly changed color, and without any warning, a heavy downpour fell.This made Wang Xin of Dongping want to retreat. He knew very well the terrible wind and waves on the sea. Seeing that the hull was damaged, maybe it would continue to hit.Anyway, foreigners are asking for money, so there is no need to be so desperate. King Dongping immediately ordered to sue for peace. Taking advantage of the moment when the artillery fire stopped, he ordered people to shout to the big ship in the east, "Friends of the other party, look at this sudden skyfall. Heavy rain and strong winds are about to blow. If we fight like this, we will lose both sides. You are just asking for money, we can have a good talk, which country are you from?"

Xue Pan's hearing was extraordinary, and he could hear King Dongping's words clearly even in such a storm.It's nothing to listen to, but when Xue Pan heard it, he knew that King Dongping must have regarded himself as a foreigner from nowhere.Xue Pan frowned at the fact that he would say peace-seeking words to foreigners.

This scene suddenly overlapped with the Sino-Japanese War of [-]-[-], as if history was repeating itself. The exact same place was also on the Bohai Sea. The warships of the Qing Dynasty lost to the warships of Japan, and the Qing Dynasty lost its dignity. , also lost the soul of the nation, this loss is a hundred years.The past was turbulent, and Xue Pan said ruthlessly, "Don't hold back, those who will surrender to foreign enemies, death is not a pity, and the ship of King Dongping must be blown up!"
