This "Hanjiangkou Naval Battle" started since the rising sun and ended at the end of the sun. It really corresponds to the saying that a good fighter is dangerous and his period is short.

In fact, it is a bit inaccurate to say that naval battles are a bit inaccurate, because from beginning to end, the pirates did not have the time to fire a shot and were just busy running for their lives. Therefore, it is more appropriate to say that seeing off the showdown.

Seeing the pirate warships that were unwilling to fight in front of you, fighting to cross Hanjiangkou in a mess, Zhao Hao suddenly remembered the "Animal World" I saw in his previous life. Naturally, Teacher Zhao's magnetic voice sounded in his ears:

‘Spring is here, and it is the mating season again…’

No, it should be that "on the endless African savannah, thousands of wildebeests are running constantly, and they will complete their annual migration before the dry season arrives...'

At that time, he was puzzled. Why were thousands of wildebeests with strong four hooves and sharp two horns chased by a few crocodiles and fleeing? Wouldn't they resist and overwhelmed the ugly guys with short legs and long mouths, and then trampled their soft belly into a paste?

It was not until I grew up that it was because the basic characteristics of genes were selfish. Compared with collective defense, each individual bravely fought carnivores. Obviously, running faster is more cost-effective. Because it doesn’t need to be faster than predators, as long as it’s faster than companions.

At the genetic level, there is no difference between humans and animals, so the essence of life is selfish. Even if there are altruistic behaviors, they are actually driven by selfish psychology.

Zhao Hao clearly remembers that after reading the book "The Selfish Gene", his kind inner world was bombarded with a devastating blow. He felt that his life was empty and slim for a long time, and he lost interest in interacting with others.

Until he finally realized that there was nothing wrong with this. If he didn't have too high expectations for others, he would naturally not be hurt in interpersonal communication.

So, otaku is the advanced form of human evolution...

~~

Shaking his head, letting these messy thoughts blow away along the river wind. Zhao Hao looked at the river surface in the distance and calmed down. All the boats and boats fled from the Han River mouth. The bodies of sailors who were killed and injured and drowned after falling into the water also drifted away with the river water, masts and broken wood pieces.

There were only a few dozen abandoned large ships, crowded into a cluster on the river surface, completely blocking the waterway. They were like fat wildebeests abandoned by groups, becoming prey for crocodiles.

"You go and inform Lin Daoqian and ask him to bring these ships back to Xiawei Port, and just say that I will send him." Zhao Hao ordered Tang Paul behind him.

"Yes." Paul Tang responded with great gratitude. It would be great if these large and Guangbo ships were given to him. Jiangnan Trading has always wanted to form its own fleet, and it always relies on Royal Shipping. It is really inconvenient and very limited.

But he also knew that it was impossible, because the young master advocated that the group companies should try their best to cooperate, rather than be greedy for the big and complete, and develop their own peaks. This would lead to serious internal friction...

"He should be embarrassed to leave these ships to someone named Lin." Paul Tang suppressed the regret in his heart and said with a smile.

"Oh yes, Old Xu is still serving as a hostage in his place." Zhao Hao patted his forehead, almost forgot about this. "Tell Lin Daoqian that I have compiled a book for Lin Zhongcheng and asked him to inspect in Chaozhou. I will go there at that time."

"Ah, I'm so proud of him?" Paul Tang couldn't help but envy him.

"That's right, who made him the man chosen by this young master?" Zhao Hao laughed and said, "I will love him more in the future."

Seeing the smirk on the young master's face, Paul Tang suddenly felt creepy and didn't envy the little forest at all.

In fact, including those big and broad ships, none of the pirates' guns and cannons can reach the eye of the coast guard fleet. When did the US military clean up the battlefield? Mr. Zhao's coast guard fleet, at least in terms of equipment and treatment, has already been in line with the first-class people of later generations of the US military. Naturally, it is inevitable that they will be affected by their bad habit of living.

Of course, it is also a trouble to get the pile of rags back. It is useless and cannot be used. If you have to rebuild it, you have to take it back to Suzhou. The cost is much higher than the direct creation of new ones.

So after counting the results of the battle, the task force did not clean up the battlefield, so it went upstream and headed towards Chaozhou City.

Fortunately, it was a south wind, and the bulging sails could borrow a lot of wind. In addition, each boat was constantly shaking four oars, so the boat speed could barely reach four knots, and it could reach Chaozhou City in the middle of the night.

This "festival" is a Chinese knot set by Mr. Zhao. One festival is a speed of one kilometer per hour, not a nautical mile.

In the units of measurement formulated by Mr. Zhao, there are no long tons, short tons, ounces of pints, and no anti-human units like sea miles. The metric system is uniformly adopted, and the full name is "scientific unit of measurement", also called the Ming system.

Anyway, I couldn't get into the city today, so Zhao Hao didn't urge the police to speed up. He asked someone to raise his parasol and sit on a rocking chair, drinking soda while looking at the scene on both sides of the Han River.

This river, named after the great writer Han Wengong, has a very smooth flow. The rivers on both sides are green, the rivers and canals are crisscrossing, and the rice flowers are fragrant. There are white walls and black tiles hidden in the thick shade, and there are exquisite stone bridges across the rivers and canals. It is a beautiful scenery of the Lingnan fish and rice land. No wonder Zeng Yiben was salivating at this place.

But in Mr. Zhao's opinion, the problem here is too serious. The dense river network divides the entire small plain into pieces, thus forming independent small villages. Under a series of survival pressures such as pirates, pirates, local tourists, and clan struggles, people have to gather their clans and live in unison, which has led to each village forming independent small kingdoms.

What efficiency can be said in such a relationship of hostility and conflicts? Such a powerful clan force is naturally a stumbling block to the development of industry and commerce.

Mr. Zhao was thinking about the way to break the deadlock with a serious expression, and suddenly heard a harsh sirens sounding from the mast. It was a signal that the lookout discovered the enemy situation.

The coast guards who were packing up ammunition, maintaining artillery, and scrubbing the deck immediately took their positions, opened the shell box again, and quickly loaded it for delivery...

At the request of the guard, Zhao Hao also left his beloved rocking chair, wore a trouser vest, and walked into the command room with wooden clogs.

"What's the situation?" he asked.

"An unknown ship blocked the meeting in front of us." Wang Rulong looked into the distance with a telescope and grinned: "Young master, don't worry, it shouldn't be for us. I think it's probably the villages along the river who want to collect money from passing merchants!"

"Car bandit Lu Bi, so rampant?" Zhao Hao couldn't help but smile.

"They dare to even collect the travel expenses of the imperial navy, what else can I dare not?" Haierge sneered: "At that time, General Yu sent a fleet to escort the bandits and supplies, but because he did not pay the toll, he blocked the waterway with a shipwreck and blocked the Han River for a full six days, and the general attack time was delayed. Therefore, he was dismissed from his official position in the victory of Nan'ao Island."

Mr. Zhao couldn't help but smile when he heard this. It was indeed worthy of being "unlucky Yu".

Yu Dayou was the last of the three people Zhao Hao wanted to meet most when he came to the Ming Dynasty, and the other two were Zhang Juzheng and Qi Jiguang...

Compared with the black-hearted idol Zhang and the compromised Shuai Qi, the straightforward old boy Yu Dayou is obviously more cute.

But Yu Dayou's life was four words: "Fantasy Unlucky". He was obviously invincible, but every time he fought, he was either obsessed with his military merits or was framed and taken into the blame. At the least, he was demoted and punished for his salary, and at the worst, he was thrown into prison. He was deprived of his hereditary official position three times, which is also a strange thing forever.

For example, in the previous period when Guangxi suppressed the rebellion, Yu Dayou, as the general of Guangxi, was sure to win the battle and defeat it. He was very rewarding. However, all the credit was not told by his boss Yin Zhengmao, but he also took the blame for Yin Zhengmao's bad debts for embezzling military pay. Fortunately, everyone knew what was going on, and finally got a deal of merit and demerit, and returned to his hometown to wait for the dispatch.

I heard that after Yin Zhengmao was promoted to the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, he wanted to recall him as the general of Guangdong and continue to work hard for himself. Yu Dayou was frightened and wrote to him, "I know the ministry values ​​the last generals, but you can't always pull hair on one of my sheep. Let me go."

Yin Zhengmao was blushed by this straightforward old man, so he had to ask Zhang Juzheng to transfer Zhang Yuanxun to Guangdong without using Yu Dayou anymore.

But speaking of this, the old baby will soon become the general of Fujian now, and he should have the opportunity to meet him at that time. Mr. Zhao is looking forward to seeing his style.

"Young Master, the boat surrounded by the surroundings seems to be a man in the army." Wang Rulong suddenly put down his telescope and said, "Their boat should be the smallest Cangshan Iron among the navy warships. Although the people on the boat were wearing casual clothes, they were all from the army, from equipment to tactics."

Zhao Hao took the telescope from him, and after a while he aimed at the target, he saw that the smallest Haicang ship, Cangshan Iron, was surrounded by more than ten common red-headed boats in Chaoshan. Although the number of people on the red-headed boats was ten times that of Cangshan Iron, he could not raise his head under the suppression of the other party's bows and arrows and muskets. Even if someone who ventured to approach the boarding boat was stabbed off the boat by the other party's spear.

At Wang Rulong's reminder, Zhao Hao noticed that when the spearman attacked, there was a shield player who resisted the bow and arrow for him. Obviously, he was well-trained and not a day's work.

"This path is 80% related to the Qi family army." Haierge, who was standing beside him, also said: "But it is even more fierce. Why do I look like a subordinate of Mr. Yu?"

"It's not like it, it must be." Wang Rulong nodded and said, "Master Yu has served as the general of Fujian and Guangdong, and his subordinates have gone to these two provinces, not surprising."

"Then help them." Zhao Hao's heart moved and ordered: "No matter how much it is, my father's rule, we have to take care of it."
