The movements of the army quickly aroused the idea of ​​Fanzi, the North and South Dynasties. Almost as the garrison troops headed to Shanhaiguan, the fans immediately sent warning messages to the south in various ways as if they were injected with chicken blood.

A few days later, the warships displayed in the Wugang waters of Suzhou Prefecture quickly left the military port. Zhu Jun personally saw them off for Yang Rang and Liu Guoxuan. Nearly a thousand ships of different sizes were rigged with sails, sailing out of the Yangtze River Port and entering the Beiyang.

On the other side, the Qing navy had arrived in Tianjin. The navy admiral Tuhai landed on the shore of Tanggu, Tianjin Port. Li Guangdi and Shi Lang came to greet him. Although Tuhai had been serving as the navy admiral for two years, it was the first time that he saw the vast sea with blue waves. The original anxiety had been thrown out of the sky. He saw that the fortifications along the coast of Tianjin Port were densely packed with hundreds of exquisite artillery facing the sea. It can be seen that Li Guangdi did put in some effort when building the fortifications, and the warships led by Shi Lang were distributed in

Outside the sea of ​​Tianjin, as a warning, you can immediately warn when you use the enemy's tracks. The main force of the navy training in Tanggu Bay can immediately rely on the fortifications on the coast to respond to the enemy. Even if the Beiyang Navy or the Dongyang Navy came out in full swing, it was not without the power of a battle. Tuhai was naturally at a good mind. He climbed the dock and immediately encouraged Li Guangdi and Shi Lang who had been waiting for a long time. The three of them were one in front of them, and behind them were a wide range of Tianjin officials, inspecting the fortifications of Tanggu Port.

The defense of Tanggu Port was built by the imperial court exhausted the financial resources of the treasury. Among them, 231 towers were imitated by 70 Westerners' += castles, and 563 artillery pieces were built. The fortifications were extremely strong. They were first built with huge rocks, and then watered with cement formulas secretly learned from Nanming. In addition, there were two lines of defense in the entire port, one was on the sea and the other was built on both sides of the Gu River. Once the naval warships in the port were defeated, they could use the Gu River waterway to escape. It was foolproof. Thanks to the Fujianese, a Fujian man, who was supervised. Tuhai was undecided and praised him along the way. He climbed the tower and stroked the dark cannons on the tower. Li Guangdi had already introduced it.

"Admiral, these cannons were all forged by Franchise craftsmen. They were all very good at materials, with a range of hundreds of feet. As long as the Ming army dared to come and did not have time to dock, they could be buried in the belly of fish."

Tuhai nodded repeatedly, and his confidence suddenly swelled. He was afraid that no one in the world could threaten the navy at Tanggukou. He was originally a harsh person, but now he could not find any fault when he saw this situation: "The inspector Li was really meticulous. I wrote a memorable letter today to report the merits to inspector Li."

Li Guangdi made a big and expectant look and said quickly: "Guangdi always remembers the kindness of the admiral's support."

Shi Lang, who was standing beside him, also deliberately joked: "I have followed the Admiral for so many years, but I have never supported him. It's better to be lucky to be the Admiral, and I was attracted by the Admiral at first sight."

Tuhai was in a good mood at this time, and laughed and hit Shi Lang's chest: "Don't worry, you must write Shi Lang's guerrilla name, and you will receive rewards at that time."

The three of them were laughing loudly, but Tu Hai was very happy, while Li Guangdi and Shi Lang had a different state of mind.

The three of them went down the tower together. The officials and Goshha automatically gave up a way. Someone brought them a horse. Tuhai took the horse first. Then Shi Lang and Li Guangdi led the horse rope and continued to walk down the next stop. When they arrived at the inspection office, the three of them went into the yamen to talk in detail. Li Guangdi presented the Tianjin fortifications pattern. Tuhai spread out and looked carefully for a while. At the beginning, he nodded repeatedly. But halfway through, he exclaimed and his eyebrows were already furrowed.

"Guangdi. You supervise the fortifications in detail. But why do you need to build fortifications in the rear? Tianjin Prefecture is close to Zhili. Are you still afraid that there will be Ming troops in Zhili?" Tuhai's blame was not unreasonable. He originally thought that Tianjin Prefecture mainly faces Haiti. Unexpectedly, from the drawings, sturdy fortifications were built at the entrance of the important passes bordering Zhili and Tianjin Prefecture. This is unusual.

Li Guangdi naturally had his own wishful thinking. Of course, he could not say it out loud. He just said: "Governor Guangdi was ordered to supervise Tianjin's defense. The court allocated millions of silver. Naturally, he wanted to build the fortifications as solid as a soil. Other places could not control the land. But since Guangdi was ordered, he decided to build it into a Jincheng.

”

Although this reason is a bit far-fetched, Tu Hai accepted it. He just thought that Li Guangdi was too persistent and did not think deeply. He yawned: "I have been on the boat for so long. I really want to take a break. The Admiral's Office has not yet been completed. I will have to rest in the past few days. Guangdi. Just clean up the bedroom."

"The humble position has been prepared. Please, Lord Admiral." Li Guangdi and Shi Lang stood up with a smile. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

In the next few days, the entire Tanggu Port became calm again, Tuhai was in

When practicing navy, there is still a huge difference between Baiyangdian and the sea. The new recruits trained in Baiyangdian, but when they switched to the sea, the bumps of the ships were many times larger than those of Baiyangdian. Many veterans who had been practicing in Baiyangdian for two years could not help but get seasick. Even Tuhai was the same. There was also gunner training. The water surface of Baiyangdian was calm and the gunner was extremely calibrated without shaking. However, when it came to the bumpy ocean, it was more than ten times more difficult to calibrate.

Even so, Tuhai was energetic. The challenges vary from person to person. Some people shrank and some people went up against the boat. But Tuhai never thought that he didn't have much time left.

On March 1st, the ninth year of Xinshi.

The morning mist floated on the sea in the early morning, and only a few could see the ships of all sizes bulging sails. Tuhai had already boarded the ship and began to train the navy soldiers. The sailors shouted loudly and pulled the winch. The gunners had entered the position. The flag bearers stood at a high place and kept telling the surrounding warships to keep a distance.

Li Guangdi, who was also getting up early, pretended to be patrolling in front of a fortification. He met Shi Lang, who had been waiting for a long time. Shi Lang was wearing bright nail armor and carrying a waist knife, looking energetic. After the two met, they asked Goshha behind him to avoid him and paced slowly along the beach on the coast.

Shi Lang finally couldn't help but speak first: "Guangdi, is it confirmed today?"

"It should be noon, and Zhang Rucheng had already heard the news, there was nothing wrong." Li Guangdi looked at the training sound of the navy in the distance, and the artillery fired by the gunners on the ship.

Shi Langda was excited and rubbed his hands and said, "It's so hard to wait this day. I'll take my headquarters to cruise later. When I run into the king, I will immediately surrender. Then I will return to the voyage. As for the matter on the coast, I will leave it to you."

Li Guangdi said: "Don't worry, gunpowder has been tampered with, and there are also our soldiers on the shore garrison. Brother Zunhou, remember to be careful.

”

Shi Lang said with a sarcastic look: "I have a sense of my own. Okay, I won't say much, I'll go out to sea."

"Go." Li Guangdi waved his hand, then looked solemn, bowing to Shi Lang: "Take care."

Shi Lang replied: "Take it." After saying that, he resolutely carried the official boots under his waist knife, stepping deep and shallowly on the beach and walking towards the pier.…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

At noon, the Qing army navy outside the Hong Kong began to return to Hong Kong gradually. After practicing for a morning, everyone felt tired. Many Qing soldiers lazily went ashore with bare shirtless, waiting for food.

At this time, a large group of inspectors, Goshha had brought in wine and food. Li Guangdi, the navy inspector, not only was in charge of the coast's defense, but also served as the logistics officer of the navy. All the food of the navy was supplied by the inspection yamen. Hundreds of shacks had been built on the coast. The inspectors of the inspection yamen began to send food. The bustling sailors lined up in the old team. After the meal, they squatted on the beach and ate barely. The sailors were all rough people, and there were no such rules.

At this moment, ship shadows suddenly appeared on the ocean. The sailors squatting on the beach and squeezing rice, rubbed their eyes. They originally thought that Shi Lang was patrolling the ship outside the coast had returned, but soon, they discovered that there were more and more ships on the sea level. At first, one, two, five, ten, twenty...

It is absolutely impossible for Shi Lang's ship. Shi Lang's patrol ship has only a dozen large and small ships, and hundreds of them appear in front of the sailors, moving quietly along the waves like ghosts.

"Ming Army Navy..." Some people didn't care about eating and started yelling.

The coast suddenly became a mess, and Tuhai, who was eating under the pergola, also noticed the abnormal movement. He pulled out the single tube around his waist and looked at the coast for a while, then took a breath, and then shouted angrily: "Where is Shi Lang? Why didn't Shi Lang come back to report the message? Hurry, everyone boarded the ship and welcomed the enemy."

"Each battalion boards boards the ships and meets the enemy." The generals who were dining at the same table with Tuhai also shouted.

The sailors on the beach woke up and rushed to the pier and the landing boats docked on the beach. Tuhai had already pulled out his waist and ran towards the pier with a ferocious look on his face. Goshha behind him couldn't catch up with him. After jogging for a while, Tuhai suddenly stopped and surrounded the personal soldiers who were chasing him: "When you see Shi Lang, come and see him, go and send a message to inspector Li, so that he can prepare quickly and cover our navy to meet the enemy."
