Part One: Penghu Storm Chapter 133: Pirate Convention?

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    What Ding Yunyi wants to talk about is the issue of maritime communication links.

    Although this time the Penghu naval battle was a great victory, there were still big problems with the connection between them. Basically, each ship was fighting on its own.

    Although the Ming Dynasty Navy also had its own command methods during naval battles, such as using black flags and red flags to command operations, it was still very inconvenient after all.

    "Semaphore?"

    When they heard Ding Yunyi say the word "flag language", Cai Jiuzhou and Ye Dahai were startled.

    "Yes, flag language." Ding Yunyi nodded: "It is similar to the command method of my Ming Navy, but it is also different"

    He explained his thoughts carefully, and then said: "When I go back this time, we will formulate a set of semaphores that only we can understand, including offense, defense, formation changes, etc., and train specialized semaphore soldiers."  , accept orders, and convey the status of each ship. If there is a naval battle in the future, we will completely rely on semaphore to control the movement of the sea, and move forward and retreat freely, just like people talking face to face. One ship is like the entire fleet. In this way, we will take advantage of the sea battle before it starts.  Got the upper hand."

    "Yes, but it depends on the guard's orders."

    Ding Yunyi smiled with satisfaction. At this time, several wounds began to hurt again. Ding Yunyi still endured it forcefully: "Every naval battle has casualties. We have a pension system for the dead, and we have to pay for the injured."  Get timely treatment. My idea is to add a few ships specifically for transporting and rescuing the wounded during naval battles. This type of rescue ship will not be of much use during a ship-to-ship battle, but it may be of maximum use during shelling.  Save the lives of brothers to a certain extent.¡±

    Ding Yunyi is talking about the hospital ship.  Indeed, it seems that the hospital ship is of little use now. The two sides are joining the ship and boarding the ship to fight, and there is no chance to transport the wounded. But what Ding Yunyi is staring at is not in front of him.

    My future cannot be limited to Penghu forever, limited to such a small fleet

    "Both naval and land battles cannot be neglected." Ding Yunyi continued: "Right now, we in Penghu have few people. During the naval battle, the brothers are sailors. When they land, the brothers become infantry. Both the naval and land battles rely on these people. This will not work.  My idea is that naval warfare and land warfare must be separated, and there should be specializations in the arts. Our ancestors also said this"

    Ding Yunyi¡¯s idea is very clear. He established a specialized navy and army, and then divided the two services in detail, and carried out armed training in a planned manner. In this way, over time, the combat effectiveness of his army will inevitably reach a new level.

    "It's a pity that we still don't have enough manpower." Cai Jiuzhou sighed: "We can't recruit with great fanfare in Fujian, and Taiwan can't infiltrate. Otherwise, there will be no need to defend and personally engage the enemy in this naval battle."

    "For the time being, we can only slowly figure out a solution to this problem." Ding Yunyi also knows this very well: "First, vigorously recruit pirates who are willing to surrender and undergo rectification and training. These people are naturally born warriors, and with a little training they can devote themselves to  Use. But this is not the fundamental solution to the problem"

    Ding Yunyi still had an idea in his heart, but he didn't say it out in front of his subordinates.

    Ye Yuan originally asked himself to borrow a large sum of money to seek the position of prefect of Quanzhou. If he could succeed, he might be able to recruit troops in Quanzhou and other places with Ye Yuan's assistance.

    It¡¯s just that it¡¯s hard to say whether Ye Yuan can get the position of Quanzhou Prefect.

    "Does Shou Bei know why his subordinates value Li Guo so much and want him to serve for Shou Bei?" Ye Dahai suddenly asked.

    Ding Yunyi shook his head and listened to Ye Dahai say: "When Li Dan was alive, he had great prestige among pirates. His son Li Guo also had many contacts and was very familiar with the situation of pirates. Wherever there is piracy activity, what kind of pirates are there?  Wherever the pirates liked to anchor, he kept it all in his mind"

    Ding Yunyi¡¯s eyes lit up: ¡°You mean to use Li Guo to recruit those pirates?¡±

    "Yes, that's what I mean." Ye Dahai said with a slight smile: "There are some pirates who can be recruited, and they don't want to live a life where they don't know tomorrow today. Now that the sea ban has been lifted, many of them have started to get active.  , who wants to live a good life and work in a business where they will be beheaded if caught? As for other pirates"

    Ye Dahai paused for a moment: "The defense will first kill Oniwang Maru, and then defeat Liu Xiang, and its prestige will be greatly enhanced. Now, except for Zheng Zhilong, it is considered a defense. So it is time to set some rules for those pirates who are unwilling to surrender."

    It¡¯s time to set some rules for pirates who are unwilling to surrender?

    Ding Yunyi was greatly moved.

    "Yes, what Brother Dahai said is exactly what I am thinking." Cai Jiuzhou also immediately said: "Since the guard killed Oniomaru, the limelight has been unprecedented, and we are conducting maritime business., ships flying the flag of 'Daming Inspection Ding' have never had any trouble.  The defense can take this opportunity to continue to establish a solid foundation, so that wherever my flag of Penghu reaches, no pirate will dare to act rashly.  "

    "Okay!" Ding Yunyi was overjoyed: "Then Li Guo's role will become very important. I suddenly had an idea"

    An idea flashed in Ding Yunyi's mind: "If you want to do it, just make it bigger. You must find a way to recruit Li Guo to your command, and then ask him to inform the pirates that I have a meeting in Penghu!"

    Cai Jiuzhou and Ye Dahai were stunned. What does guarding mean?  Meeting?  What meeting was held?

    "I want to hold a pirate conference." Ding Yunyi said proudly: "Which ship can be robbed and which ship cannot be robbed, we need to make it clear to them. If they listen, they will do it. If they don't listen, I, Penghu, are not them.  Wherever you can come, if you touch my Penghu ship, I will chase you even if you are thousands of miles away!"

    Cai Jiuzhou and Ye Dahai took a breath.

    Originally, their intention was just to notify the pirates to keep to their own devices and not to tamper with Penghu ships, so that Penghu's maritime trade would become unimpeded. But who would have thought that Ding Shoubei would actually come up with such a bold plan.

    Call the pirates together for a meeting?  This is simply incredible.  Not to mention the consequences if the court, no, let Zheng Zhilong know about this matter, it is a big question whether the pirates are willing to come.

    Who is willing to throw themselves into a trap without knowing the situation clearly?  What if Ding Yunyi falls out?

    But at this time, Ding Yunyi had already made up his mind. He smiled and said: "I think besides Li Guo, you Ye Dahai can also handle this matter. With the name of the pirate lord, those pirates must give some face."

    Ye Dahai could only smile bitterly. God knows what weird things will happen in the future with such a bold and eccentric boss.
