Chapter 20 Exploring the Channel
"Caval regiment preparation."
The cavalry soldiers stepped onto the war horses one after another.
"Encircle the two wings, don't let an enemy run away, set off."
The cavalry regiment that galloped out was like two scimitars, instantly slashing towards the rear of the enemy. Except for dozens of British cavalry who were quick to see the opportunity, the rest were all surrounded by the 6th Division.
"All soldiers charge,"
The soldiers stepped out of the trenches and rushed towards the British army.
"Kneel down and keep the gun and won't kill him."
The British soldiers who had been killed had already been killed and threw away their weapons and lay on the ground.
The 6th Division gradually narrowed its encirclement. After a few hours, the gunfire stopped and teams of prisoners were taken to the city by the soldiers.
The smell of gunpowder and blood that filled the entire battlefield was quickly covered by snowflakes and disappeared.
"Report to the division commander and captured the two division commanders of the enemy and the Earl Black."
Gu Ming and Jin Lian, who were reading the war report and burning fire, said without looking back: "Take them back, Your Majesty is preparing to establish a tour group of prisoners and nobles, let them visit our empire, see our cities and regions, and let our statement become an instant fact."
"yes."
Later, Gu Ming, who put down the battle report, said: "This snow is really not the time. We will delay our time a lot. Your Majesty is preparing to establish the largest shipyard on the Atlantic coast in Portsmouth near Jamestown, and form the Atlantic Fleet and the Second Near Defense Fleet as soon as possible."
"We have no choice but to be surprised when the weather is unexpected, and your Majesty will not blame us. It depends on the situation. If the snow is not thick, let the Cavalry regiment work hard to give Jamestown a blitzkrieg. Anyway, there are not many soldiers left in the city, so they can easily take it down." Jin Lian said.
"That's it. The casualties this time were very small, and the weapons's generation has brought us a huge advantage. Now we are not afraid of not being able to conquer any place, but we are afraid that there is no population to cooperate with the occupation."
"Well, the Southern Exploration Fleet in the Pacific will set out tomorrow, and we should be able to see immigrants from the Ming Dynasty next year."
On November 7, the Cavalry Regiment raided Jamestown, and the Chinese Empire successfully occupied Virginia. Due to heavy snow, the offensive was suspended.
At 8 a.m. on November 5, Tianjing.
Chaoyang put a golden coat on the entire palace, and Jun lie together in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Today is the day when the exploration fleet in the southern Pacific Ocean set off.
The exploration fleet consists of 100 warships and 500 transport ships, a delegation, as well as 20 frigates and 20,000 immigrants who occupied and stationed in the Water Continent (Hawaii). Water Continent will serve as the most important transit station in the Empire's Pacific.
Prime Minister Li Mu is assigning a mission.
"The commander of the Pacific Fleet Ke Lifeng, the main task of this departure is to open up routes and safely escort the mission led by Foreign Minister Sun Jian to the Ming Dynasty safely. Our population is very precious, so try to avoid the safety of all the personnel in the fleet."
"See the Prime Minister." Ke Lifeng stood up and answered the order.
Li Mu continued: "Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sun Jian, your main task is to reach diplomatic relations with the Ming Empire and do all your ways to get them to agree to immigrate to us. At present, the Ming Dynasty is seriously corruption. Try to solve the problems that can be solved with money. We only need to immigrate."
"Affect the order." Sun Jian stood up and received the order.
"Is there anything else to add to your majesty?"
"At present, what restricts our development is the population. No matter how much land we occupy, we cannot develop. I hope you can successfully achieve our goal this time. I look forward to your triumph. I will go to the dock in person to see you off later and set off."
At 10 o'clock, the sea level in the distance was the same as the sky in Shanghai, with a breeze and a lot of ships on the sea near the pier.
On the cement avenue, Yun Yi came slowly in a luxurious carriage under the escort of the guards.
The people, officials and soldiers gathered in the port bowed neatly and shouted, "See Your Majesty."
Yun Yi walked out of the carriage, raised his skills and said, "No gift."
No matter how far or near, the sound seemed to be ringing in my ears.
"Soldiers, for the sake of the development of the empire, you will go to an unknown ocean today. Perhaps there are strong winds and huge waves and deep sea vortexes on the sea. No matter any difficulties or obstacles, they cannot stop the footsteps of our imperial naval soldiers. I am proud of you. The brave soldiers, set out and look forward to your triumphant return."
"Thank you, Your Majesty..."
The people gathered on both sides cheered in unison and wished the soldiers from all over the ocean to return safely.
Under the gaze of Yun Yi and the people, the soldiers quickly boarded their warships. Ke Lifeng boarded the flagship, walked onto the deck, bowed to Yun Yi in the distance, turned around and ordered: "Go away."
One after another, the warships sailed out of the bay, densely packed, layer by layer, gradually disappearing on the horizon against the sea breeze.
"The course is southwest and west, with a speed of 10 knots."
The navigator observed the sextant and modified the route in real time.
Ke Lifeng looked at the vast sea. They had been in the deep sea for 7 days and could not see any creatures on the sea surface. There was no island land nearby, and even the most common seabirds could not see.
I had good luck after going to sea, and it was clear and clear. With the ability of the navigator, I should be about to arrive in Shuizhou.
Fleet Staff You Cheng came to the front with two portions of fish, "Don't worry, I'm about to arrive in Shuizhou. We must believe that the knowledge level of our soldiers is incomparable to other countries in this era. Let's have a portion of bluefin tuna fish and taste how fresh the fish that has not been contaminated is."
Ke Lifeng took the fish and said, "I'm not worried that our soldiers will not be able to find the Shuizhou, but I'm afraid that the weather will be unexpected if time goes on. Where does the bluefin tuna come from?"
"Except for our flagship, other ships will hook as soon as they leave the bay, and they will get more or less. The ones caught are all over 300 kilograms, and the largest one is more than 500 kilograms. The soldiers use the local method to make ice, which can ensure that we can eat for ten or half a month. In this era, as long as we have the skills, we are not afraid of not eating." You Cheng replied while mixing the fish and stuffing it into his mouth.
"It's so fresh, we're lucky."
As the sun sets, the sea breeze gradually increases, and the warships sway in the wind.
"It seems that it will rain. I hope we can find the Shuizhou as soon as possible." Ke Lifeng looked at the dark clouds spreading over the sky in the distance.
"I hope there will be no strong winds."
"Report, search the frigate ahead to find the island, and we are still 20 nautical miles away."
The soldiers ran to the deck and reported to Ke Lifeng.
Faced with the afterglow of the sun, bursts of chirping came.
"Good luck, the seabirds have come to guide us and speed up the speed. We went to the island overnight. There is a large bay on the main island of Shuizhou, which is enough to accommodate all our ships. The vanguard landing troops should pay attention to opening landing grounds to avoid conflicts with the natives."
The soldiers on the flagship used flags to pass commands to the warships in the distance.
As the flag slogan spread, cheers came from the fleets of all parties.
