Chapter seven hundred and thirty eight: caught a big fish
Zhang Jingyi was helpless.
He only has one ship.
Although it is indeed possible to directly beat the opponent through poor technology, it is impossible to completely wipe out the opponent.
At least now, the United Fleet is already scared.
The ships have begun to rush to escape.
They fled in different directions, and even if the ships were fast, it was impossible for the ironclad ships to chase them one by one.
Therefore, since you want to solve the problem, the best way is to kill two peaches and three soldiers.
After a while of raging, dozens of ships were sunk, and dozens of large ships were damaged, Zhang Jingyi had to consider the issues of fuel and shells.
So... just when all the crew members and sailors on the joint fleet were consciously losing their lives, the giant ship had slowly left, coming and going faster.
certainly……
Before leaving, a ship with a king flag was directly knocked out of a big hole.
When countless people fell into the water, Liu Wenxiu, the thousands of Jinyiwei officer, was sharp-eyed and saw a group of people protecting several people in gorgeous clothes onto a lifeboat.
So he volunteered to bring more than a dozen water ghosts, followed the rope ladder into the water, slaughtered the guards, and then brought three of them directly.
In fact... according to the actual situation, the other party can completely resist. After all, they have more people, and in the water, the power of the firearm cannot be exerted.
But by this time, these people were already scared and were like fish to be slaughtered.
When Liu Wenxiu boarded the ship proudly, she was shouted directly to the people on the ship before she could tell her "heroic" just now.
When he arrived at Zhang Jingyi's command cabin, Zhang Jing stared at him angrily when he saw him, and cursed: "Who told you to act without permission? Is your life precious or the life precious of those pirates? Just for some pirates, you are so dangerous. Do you think this is land? Liu Wenxiu, you are a bastard, you are no longer a small pawn, nor the Donglin Army. You are the Jinyiwei, a thousand households, and it is not your thing to lead by example!"
This scolding made Liu Wenxiu lower his head, and his voice became much lower: "Mr. Teacher, the student saw that the man was dressed in gorgeous clothes, not an ordinary person... he thought to himself..."
"Hmph!" After Zhang Jing scolded, she still acted unwilling to be kind, but then said, "Go and take a hot shower first. The sea is cold at this time, so I won't be as an example."
Liu Wenxiu suddenly looked up at Zhang Jingyi, and she was as if she had been amnesty. She was busy saying, "Yes."
After saying that, he ran away in a flash.
Speaking of bathing, it is actually not easy to take a bath at sea because fresh water is needed. Even Zhang Jingyi, who has always loved to be clean, still maintains the record of not taking a bath for seven or eight days. Although Liu Wenxiu was scolded, she immediately became excited again.
The teacher scolded him fiercely, but in Liu Wenxiu's opinion, this time is not an example, but it seems to be saying: I dare to do it next time!
After cursing, Zhang Jingyi still couldn't stay idle, and then he looked at the map.
The only thing that the ironclad ship has to do is that its maintenance and supply must pass through specific ports.
At least in this era, not all ports can provide ironclad ship supply and repair.
Now that Ryukyu is taken first, and then after this battle, the ironclad ship must find a place to replenish the supply.
Liu Wenxiu immediately said, "Mr., you haven't cleaned up yet, he has already expressed his intention to speak."
Zhang Jingyi: “…”
The other party is very tactful, but after thinking about it carefully, it is understandable that businessmen, how come they dare to be stubborn at this time?
Zhang Jingyi immediately said, "Then let's clean up again. The procedure still has to be gone. You can't let him suffer a little because he is willing to speak. You will be sent here later."
"yes."
In fact, Liu Wenxiu was a little unhappy about the punishment from the bottom of his heart.
Because the Jinyiwei who came out of the military academy often disdains to play with torture and incitement, in their opinion, this is a dirty work done by people like Wu Changchun.
But now, where can I find Wu Changchun on this vast ocean?
So more than half an hour later, the two people were pushed in.
One was a Han man with a squad and Confucian shirt, and the other was a Dutch man covered in dry blood.
As soon as the Han man came in, he immediately bowed and said, "The students died."
Seeing this, the Dutchman seemed to be afraid of being beaten. He also followed the appearance of the Han people, kneeling on the ground, whispering something.
The two of them tried hard to pound their heads.
Zhang Jingyi said: "Who is this?"
Zhang Jingyi pointed at the Dutchman.
Han Ren said: "The student is called Yang Xi, and this person is the director of the East India Company, Mark and Fant..."
Zhang Jing nodded and looked at the guy named Mark: "Where is he from?"
Yang Xi said: "The Netherlands."
In fact, Zhang Jingyi knew this. Yang Xi was just a simple translator. He didn't know much about the person named Mark. He only knew that he was the Netherlands, but he didn't know where he came from.
Zhang Jingyi continued, "What is he here for?"
"Students...students think... are the supervisor..."
"Supervisor?" Zhang Jingyi stared at Yang Xi.
Yang Xi said: "This time, all countries have come to the country with great strength and sufficient food. Among them, the Netherlands has the most money and grain, and the supplies are all from the Ryukyu Port in the Netherlands. The Netherlands regard this as a huge investment. To put it bluntly, it is to do business. Since it is to do business, it must increase revenue and reduce expenditure. On the one hand, it must control costs, and on the other hand, it must ensure profits."
Zhang Jing heard this and sneered: "Burning, killing, robbery is also business? Killing is also business? Do you have any misunderstandings about the word "business"?"
Yang Xi was so scared that she didn't dare to answer.
But the director Mark was also trembling.
Zhang Jingyi said: "How many people did they dispatch this time, how many countries did they involve, and how many ships did they use?"
Yang Xi seemed to know little about this, so he went to ask Mark, but Mark was familiar with it and was so busy that he revealed it.
The combat personnel were around 70,000, plus other personnel, and if they involved logistics supplies, civil and religious personnel, there were 120,000. In addition, more manpower was used. Of course, the latter's manpower was mostly native people in the colonies. In their eyes, it was actually no different from animal power.
