Chapter two hundred and eighty seventh iron bullets blocking the river
There were more than a dozen sea boats parked on the Haihe River, all of which were sailing. The boats and Shui Nianshi were sleeping soundly there, and they were also clamored at this time.
These ships walked on Shanghai once, and went out with the boat full of grass, and came back with the boat full of gold and silver. If you earn a lot, you would be generous to the people on the boat.
After docking in Tianjin City, the people on the boat were full of wine and food, and the couple had to find a few fans on the shore. Everyone was struggling hard, and they were sleeping soundly at this time.
The noise outside was too loud, and no matter how heavy I was sleeping, I was awakened. I went to the deck and looked towards the shore. Everyone rubbed their eyes, thinking that they had left Tianjin and went to other places.
I had a few sheds on the shore yesterday and last night, but now I suddenly became a big construction site, and thousands of people are busy there.
And they were all tossing on the shore, and the canal ships were docked, and the ships were loaded with strips of clamstone. Several young men worked together to pick them up, walking in the waist-deep canal water, shouting to go ashore.
After the meadow stone came ashore, the mortar and wooden piles on the shore were ready, and the meadow stone was built up. This was why the people on the plane boat were wondering.
But when everyone woke up a little, they saw soldiers guarding the Jinyi Guards with full arms and swords and guns. Although everyone could blatantly load and unload cargo here, they also knew that their cargo ships were illegal. Tianjin was the sea portal of the capital, and merchant ships were not allowed to dock except for the occasional sea canal.
Now the water on the shore is lively, and more and more people are watching the fun around. This place is backed by a large treasury. There are granaries in the shore, and there are sheds for crew members to rest and places to temporarily store goods. There are really many people inside and outside.
The noise is getting bigger and bigger, and more people are coming out to see it. Everyone is still confused about what they do on the shore. But everyone always recognizes the soldiers of the Jinyi Guard who are fully alert with weapons.
There was already a warning in the boat to report, and the news on it has been circulated back.
The soldiers on guard of the Jinyiwei only circled the work circle, but ignored him in other places. Some people pretended to be watching the fun and rushed to the side of the ship.
The person who reported the news arrived at the side of the ship. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he rushed to the ship along the pedal in a few steps and shouted loudly:
"If you can't get the sails to go out to sea, it will be a big disaster if you don't leave!!"
Although there were more than a dozen ships parked, only three ships were notified. They were experts who beg for food at sea. The boss of the ship didn't listen. He immediately ordered the ship to be opened.
This is also the dogma of the people on the shore. Many military generals did not understand the purpose of this visit. Seeing the three ships anchored and pulled back the springboards placed on the shore, the sails on the mast began to rise and the ship left the shore.
The side of the sea ship was much higher than the shore, and people on the shore could not climb even if they did not climb. Seeing the pedals pulled back and the sails rose, the people from the Jinyiwei were anxious.
Several teams ran over one after another, but could only watch the boat leave slowly and anxiously. The impatient person jumped directly into the Haihe River, but even if he swam to the side of the boat, it would be useless.
The hull was naked, and there was no place to catch except the anchor and rudder rope outside. You could also see the people on the boat taking out swords and weapons, and even if they climbed up, they would be killed.
The officers on the shore had no choice but to shout to ask their men to come back. The three sea boats ran fast, but they also gave the Jinyi Guards on the shore a reminder, and of course, they also gave other sea boats to the dock. Everyone wanted this. When they were pulling the boat board, they would talk about it when they arrived at the sea.
There are only a few broken ships in Tianjin. They dare not go out to sea at all. When they arrive at sea, everything will be safe.
However, the soldiers who reacted would not give them this opportunity. Before the pedal was withdrawn, everyone had already snatched up. The sleepy sailor and shipman were fighting against the fully armed soldiers of the Jinyi Guard? The sword of Han Guang Ran Shining was forced to the front and was obedient.
Wang Tong looked at all this not far away, and when he saw this, he smiled and said:
"Mr. Our soldiers are a little obedient, but they are too rigid in their work. They told them to set up the turret first, no one will take care of the ship. They didn't think about why the turret was repaired?"
There was a carriage beside Wang Tong. The curtain of the carriage carriage had been lifted up. Yu Dazhao was drinking tea there. He heard Wang Tong's words, and he replied with a smile:
"It's good to be obedient when you join the army. The more you think, the harder you can't fight. You should think of!"
Wang Tong laughed a few times, but didn't answer. Yu Dashu said in the carriage:
"I ran three ships, what should I do if these three ships are? Let them run like this?"
"Don't worry, sir, someone has already gone to Haikou to send a message!"
Wang Tong answered confidently. Yu Daxian looked at the direction of Haikou. Yiqi had already run far along the shore. He smiled and nodded, and continued to sigh:
"The world is Fujian, where I am my husband's hometown. There are also big and good ships that can be built in Xijiang, but this ship has become a business that causes trouble. There are dozens or hundreds of fighters on the ship, trafficking and smuggling at sea, and scrambling at sea. But in Haibuhuai, it's just a pirate who can rob it. To put it bluntly, it's a pirate "a tragedy."
Tianjin is surrounded by sea, and the wind is already strong. As long as the sails rise, the ship can start. The three sea boats slowly reach the center of the Haihe River. The sails on the main mast and the secondary mast have been raised, and the ships have begun to increase.
Looking at the shore, I was anxious and the soldiers of the Jinyi Guard who were swimming back to the river bank in a panic, the sailors on the boat thought they had escaped and were all very proud.
Some sailors pointed at the shore and cursed, while others stood on the side of the boat and took off their pants and made various unsightly actions.
The sailors had a weird accent. I didn’t know it was the dialect there. Anyway, it was not the official language of the Ming Dynasty. Most of the soldiers of the Jinyiwei were from Hejian Prefecture and Shuntian Prefecture, so they couldn’t understand it at all.
Some people on the shore could understand and spread it privately. Everyone heard it was laughing at the soldiers of the Jinyi Guards, which was quite meaningless.
The fork was very lively, under the escort of soldiers. A group of people were still busy and busy, but there were a group of idle people watching the fun and laughing, as if Tianjin Jinyi County did something embarrassing.
As the three big ships walked towards the sea. When they entered the sea, they had nowhere to chase. I heard a few sounds of muffled thunder. The noise on the banks of the sea was immediately suppressed. Everyone was frightened.
"A useless bastard, a distance of dozens of steps. Why can't you hit it with one shot? You have to let it go!!"
Tan Huo looked upstream and cursed, no matter how fast the boat ran, it was not as fast as the galloping horses on the shore. News about the three ships reached the position closest to Haikou early.
This place is different from the busy annihilation upstream. The artillery here has long been unloaded on the shore. At that time, it was a ship and a cannon. After leaning on the shore, it was dragged up directly with a cattle and a horse.
The cannons here also have very primitive cannon stands, which are carried by a large cart and fixed with iron and wooden racks. There are six six kilogram cannons.
"Calibrate quickly, load the medicine and bullets, everyone moves, let a ship run out of our eyes, and everyone will have no face to see anyone in the future."
Tan Huo urged him tightly, and hundreds of strong men were all busy. Six cannons lined up along the river bank, and the cannon on the innermost side was first loaded.
A dozen people adjusted their direction together. They aimed at the three ships that were slowly moving, and then aimed at them. After igniting fire, a loud bang, and the shells flew out roaring.
On the boat in the head of the three sea boats, there was a quick and flexible sailor who was shouting and scolding, and they were already far away, and people were still jumping on the side of the boat. This was a hot topic. The busy companions there kept cheering him, which made others crazy.
I suddenly heard a loud noise on the shore, and the whistling sound came quickly. The upper body of the sailor jumping there suddenly exploded, and the flesh and blood splattered everywhere, bursting to the people next to me.
The flesh and blood body could not slow down the rush of the six-jin shells. Just before the sailors on the ship could react, they passed by two people and hit the secondary mast with great stalemate. The mast "cracked and broke with a sound and fell towards the front.
At this time, the people on the sea boat reacted. Someone even reached out to wipe the flesh and blood from his face. He looked at the incomplete body of his companions beside him. After a moment of quietness, he screamed. Seeing such a tragic scene at such a close distance, the sailors who had just thought they had escaped from the sky, Li Hai collapsed.
However, the crying and screaming on the ship was immediately covered by the roar of artillery, and six pointed cannons were fired one after another.
The widest part of the Haihe River is 600 steps, and the waters that can sail large ships are about 300 steps away from the shore. The range of these artillery made by Wang Tong is sufficient.
The shells are just solid metal balls, and they are just a hole when hitting the hull, and the ship can continue to sail.
But Tan Huo kept adjusting the angle of the artillery, and the landing point of the artillery shell was getting lower and lower. When the artillery was firing in the third round, the holes in the hull gradually fell below the waterline, and the ship running in the front had begun to sink.
The water was shot below the water line, and the holes fired were poured into water, and the ship was about to sink. After the third round of artillery fire, the water on the ship came out of the white flag and shook desperately against the shore.
"Continue to load the medicine and bullets, shout with me. Lower the sail!!"
Because the sea breeze was quite strong and there was no smoke of gunpowder, Tan Huo saw the expression on the boat and immediately ordered his subordinates to shout together.
More than a hundred people shouted in unison and let the people on the boat hear it clearly. The gradually sinking sea ship in the front blocked the way for the two ships behind.
Looking at the dark muzzles of the six cannons on the shore. Looking at the broken limbs, the people on the boat were all lucky and obediently lowered the sails.
