Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 709 So It Is So (Fourth Update 1W1)
Faced with this unexpected situation, not only Gao Yu frowned, but the two ship owners who often walked the Red River waterway were also quite surprised.

After thinking for a while, Boss Hu shook his head slightly, and said: "This is really weird, even if the Annan people are so powerful that they have meticulous operations in Qinzhou, and they have definitely judged that our departure this time is to embarrass them. , but even so, they didn't have time to inform Shenglong to arrange these 'hechun'!"

"That's right, the old nonsense is right." Boss Li also frowned, and said, "Even if the people in Annan were unexpectedly smart this time. But from Qinzhou to Shenglong, and then from Shenglong to Honghekou... How could this news spread so fast? How can the efficiency of Shenglong Annan people be so high?"

"Your views are all reasonable." Gao Yu also frowned, and said: "Qinzhou is my Qinzhou in Ming Dynasty, and even if the Annan people work carefully in Qinzhou, there is no way that there is no rush for [-] li, [-] li Riga is in a hurry. If the other party sends a message back to Annan carefully when we leave the port, the land route cannot be so fast. And the sea route...Qinzhou is a private port of Jinghua, we don’t know which ship leaves the port? All the ships that have sailed from Qinzhou port recently In our fleet, how could it be possible to notify Thang Long?"

He rejected the possibility of Annan's elaboration to pass on the information, but he couldn't figure out how the information was leaked.At this moment, Boss Li interjected, saying: "Perhaps, these 'hechun' have nothing to do with us? Maybe... maybe they are used to deal with pirates? It doesn't seem that far away from the pirate's lair, Isn't it?"

"Not far from the pirate's lair is the mouth of the Luhe River, not the mouth of the Red River." Boss Hu shook his head and said, "The mouth of the Red River is still a little far from the mouth of the Luhe River."

"Besides..." Boss Hu paused, and added: "It's common for pirates to plunder along the coast. It's not that the area around the Red River Estuary has never been harassed by pirates, but I haven't heard of any Pirates dare to go up the Red River and snatch Thang Long all the way? That's too arrogant, Thang Long usually has Mo's regular navy! Is it possible that those pirates still want to fight head-on to kill Mo's water? The army was picked? This is too outrageous."

Gao Yu looked at those river toon, pondered for a moment, then shook his head decisively, and said: "No, these 'he toon' are not used to deal with pirates! Look..."

He stretched out his hand while pointing, and said, "The admiral Cao Jiang (Gao Jie), the admiral Gao Jie, and I fought with Japanese pirates along with him, so I still know a little about the 'he Chun'. The 'he Chun' in front of me is only a line in the middle of the river. , the distance between the two rows of 'river's' at the front and back is ten feet, and the arrangement is very sparse, so the boat is definitely not able to stop it, and the sampan can even pass through the two 'river' at will. And a little bigger You can also go around the 'He Chun' slowly, or avoid the central river channel and go to both sides, even your two boats may go around. Only real big ships, such as our armed forces in Jinghua The transport ship is really difficult."

After hearing this, the two bosses hurriedly looked at it, and after another look, it was indeed so.Because the "river toons" are arranged in an S shape, when a large ship bypasses the first row of "river toon", because of the long hull, it will definitely not be able to avoid the second row of "river toon".Moreover, the river course is not like the sea, its water level is deep in the center and shallow on both sides, and it is the dry season right now, if the big ships do not take the central channel but detour to the two sides, there may be a danger of being stranded in some sections of the river.

Therefore, the arrangement of this "he Chun", as Gao Yu said, is designed to stop large boats and not small boats.Those pirate ships are generally small, because they are small and flexible, and they can escape even if they cannot be beaten.Therefore, this "hechun" is obviously not used to deal with pirates.

So whose boat is bigger?Thinking about it now, it seems that these armed transport ships of Jinghua are considered big ships. Although compared with the big treasure ships of the Ming Dynasty when they were the most prestigious, they are still small, but at least for now, they are still called big ships.

"It seems that they are really targeting us." Boss Li said in a depressed tone, "Since these 'hechun' can only deal with big ships, they must be targeting us, but I still don't understand how they guessed us. Will it come to Shenglong, and block the mouth of the Red River with 'Hechun'?"

As he spoke, he sighed, and added: "Anyway, the arrangement of the 'Hechun' does not affect the navigation of the boat, which means that while stopping Jinghua's gunboat, it does nothing to the Annan people themselves. Too much impact."

"There is still some influence." Boss Hu has rich experience and careful observation. He pointed to a river ton and said, "Gao Tuanzuo, Lao Li, look, this 'he ton' is equivalent to a simple sluice. When passing through the 'hechun', the water volume will decrease, and the water volume flowing between the 'hechun' and beside the 'hechun' will increase accordingly, and the water flow will be accelerated accordingly. For small boats, the resistance will be great increased."

When he said this, he reminded himself again, and added again: "Also, the water flowing through the 'He Chun' and the water flowing between the 'He Chun' and even beside the 'He Chun' have different flow velocities. , this will easily form a vortex, which will cause further danger to the passage of small boats...Here, look, a vortex has already formed over there!"

Gao Jue and Boss Li looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, as he said, the water flow here has become very disordered because of the relationship between He Chun, and a vortex has formed.

Boss Li stroked his beard and said, "It looks like this, the Annan people really killed a thousand enemies and harmed themselves by eight hundred. Let's not forget that apart from affecting their boats, these things have nothing to do with them. Our own navy has now gone south to fight against the Li family, so when they come back, won’t they have to face these obstacles? The Annan people are really not afraid of trouble!”

"Wait a minute!" Gao Yu suddenly remembered something Boss Hu said before, and said: "Boss Hu said before that Li's side has now hooked up with the Furang robot, and not only bought the artillery from the Furang robot, They also bought two warships, intending to use them to fight against the Mo family's navy? Do you think the Annan people and these Hechuns were set up to stop the two Frangji warships?"

Boss Hu and Boss Li were reminded by Gao Yu, they slapped their thighs at the same time, and said in unison: "Yes! It's very possible!"

Boss Hu, in particular, added: "No, it's not possible, it's inevitable! Only in this way can we explain what Mo's actions are! With these river stalks, although it may not be possible to stop the two Frangji warships, But at least it can delay them for some time."

Gao Yu heaved a sigh of relief and felt relieved: "That being the case, let's take a little effort to pull out these thorns. I have experience in this area. These thorns... at most one day, we can clean them up. "

In one day, even if Shenglong learned the news and made preparations, the preparations were limited, and basically the effect of a sneak attack could still be achieved.

In particular, this place may not be the area that Mo Chao's government cares about now. There are only some poor fishermen around, and these fishermen don't seem to have any hostility towards their fleet, which is not the "Li Nishui Division". It will not be reported to the government.

In this case, Shenglong may not be able to give much warning in advance.

Gao Yu's method of dealing with these river toons was a little time-consuming, but not laborious.He just ordered people to tie up the prepared cables at the anchor position of the bow, and sent a small boat to tie the river tow at the other end, and then ordered the whole ship to sail, and the huge kinetic energy pulled out the wooden piles that had been rammed into the river bottom at once. .

This is because the sandy soil at the bottom of the river is soft, and the roots of the "hechun" are basically impossible to be strong. He had arranged this kind of thing to stop the pirates, of course he knew it very well.

Thanks to the book friends for the reward of "One Thought, Moment and Eternity", thank you!By the way, these two chapters mentioned the deal between Li Dynasty and Frangji, buying a ship, etc., to pave the way for the follow-up plot. I can’t accept the number of words. Besides, this is a plot story, and I didn’t explain it. What's the point?
