No matter how good the soldiers are, they can only be trained. If they don’t work hard, they can’t produce elite soldiers. Therefore, high-intensity training is necessary. The logistics on Danluo is very complete. Here, the soldiers are constantly making vegetables, meat and eggs every day, and their lives are completely guaranteed.

In addition, Wu Song has trained first-hand, and the combat effectiveness of the Rangers led by Shi Qian and Mao Hai has been formed. Although this team has only 100 people, he is proficient in all kinds of high-difficulties, such as walls, houses, walls, and reconnaissance, blasting and assassination. He can cooperate with the intelligence department to perform various difficult tasks in big cities.

At the same time, the First Fleet and the Second Fleet have developed to 1,000 people, with more than 20 warships per fleet. If you add the merchant ships that can be allocated at any time, you can reach as many as hundreds.

In the evening, Gongsun Sheng greeted Wu Song and said, "I looked at the celestial phenomena at night and found that the capital was moving abnormally. What should be something going on?"

Wu Song said: "What can happen to the capital? There is nothing special except when the Xixia delegation comes. It's not a day or two that guy Gao Qiu wants to make trouble."

Gongsun Shengdao: "Brother is lucky and loyal. Gao Qiu is a slutty man, and he will not have any major impact on his brother. It is another matter. The people of Bianjing will suffer a bloody disaster."

Wu Song asked: "Does Taoist priest know anything?"

"How can I know this? I just guessed by the celestial phenomena. Where can I know what exactly. But just talk about the matter. If I were Gao Qiu, I would definitely want to lure my brother to the capital, and then find a way to deal with it. My brother still needs to deal with it carefully. Don't underestimate Gao Qiu."

Wu Song nodded solemnly. Gao Qiu is not simple, so he cannot be underestimated.

Wu Song stayed on Danluo Island for only two days and inspected the factories and agricultural reclamation. This year, the agriculture of Danluo Island is becoming more and more mature, and the sweet potato and corn breeding base will have a huge harvest.

In the evening of the next day, more than 100 people including Wu Song, Luo Ping, Jiao Ting, Yu Bao Si boarded a huge steamship. Wen Zhongrong personally escorted him, and there were three steam warships with a long whistle. The steam engine turned the huge flywheel, and the mechanic pulled down the power transmission. The huge water wheels installed on both sides of the ship slowly began to rotate. It was very slow at the beginning, and the warship moved and became faster and faster. Wu Song felt good at standing at the bow of the ship, and the speed was about fifty miles an hour. Although this speed was only the speed of the electric vehicle on the worst street in the future, it was already the top speed of the steam warship at this time.

"Captain Wen, what do you think of this warship?" Wu Song asked Wen Zhongrong next to him.

Wen Zhongrong grinned his teeth and said, "This steam warship should be invincible in the world. It is the largest one, one hundred meters long and twenty meters wide, three Weiyuan cannons on the bow and three Weiyuan cannons on the stern. There are twenty gun positions on both sides, equipped with five hundred kilograms of Weiyuan cannons. The three warships have more than sixty artillery guns, a total of more than 500 sailors, and their combat effectiveness is very strong."

Wu Song nodded: "The giant cannon is the direction of development. Our fleet has not yet taken shape and needs a lot of training."

Although there are quite a lot of manned warships in the First Fleet or the Second Fleet, they have almost never fought decent battles except for occasionally fighting pirates and guarding merchant ships, so the combat effectiveness is average. So Wu Song said that the fleet has a long way to go, not to mention that the navy is not infantry, and the technical content required for coordinated operations is very high, and there are high requirements for both soldiers and commanders.

Three steam warships sailed through the wind and waves toward Rizhao Port. It took more than two days to go, more than twice as fast as a sailing ship, and it was much more convenient.

Wen Zhongrong said: "It's still early to sleep, so why not exercise. There are empty packs of ammunition for the exercise on the ship."

"Okay, you can command."

With Wen Zhongrong's order, the three steam warships were finished in shape, each ship was only three or four hundred meters apart. The high-headed three cannons had their cannon suits opened, and the costumes were a small amount of cannon medicine, which could be fired, and the thick smoke was also very large. However, there was no cannon shot out at the muzzle, mainly to let the sailors feel the atmosphere, and occasionally they would use live ammunition to act, but the cost was high, and most of the time they did not have live ammunition.

"An enemy ship was found 1,500 meters ahead, and artillery fired." As the messenger conveyed the signal of war, the artillery on the bow of the ship fought together, and the torch lit the cannon's fuse, and a loud bang and thick smoke rose.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers responsible for cleaning the gun bore went up to clean the gun bore, and then loaded the gun medicine. After more than a minute, the gun fired again.

Wu Song kept nodding, the rate of fire was still OK. Of course, the actual soldiers were nervous and the loading speed was affected. Moreover, due to the large amount of cannon medicine in actual combat and the hot barrels of the cannon were very hot. After firing a few shells, they had to stop and cool the cannon.

The acting lasted for more than half an hour, and the head of the ship, the tail of the ship, and the cannons on both sides were fired several times in turn. The sailors felt the feeling of being in battle. Moreover, even Wu Song and others could not wear armor on the warship, and they had to wear cork armor. This cork armor had poor defense ability and could basically not block bows and arrows, but it had another purpose, which was lifesaving.

The night gradually became deeper, and the fleet slowly slowed down and became very stable. Wu Song and others entered the cabin to sleep and rest. Wu Song had been tired for several days and had never been idle since the Western Expedition to Xixia. He slept very soundly. The next morning, Wu Song heard the shouting of soldiers outside and asked the personal soldiers on duty at the door, "What's going on outside?"

The soldiers said: "Battleman Luo is fishing, as if he was catching a huge fish."

Wu Song came to the deck. At this time, the boat was already quietly parked on the sea. Luo Ping was holding a big bamboo pole and was desperately pulling the thick fishing line.

It turned out that when Jiao Ting woke up in the morning, he encouraged Luo Ping to fish. Luo Ping found a strong bamboo pole, used a steel hook larger than a fist, hung a fish left over from last night and started fishing. Unexpectedly, in just a while, the fish got hooked. It turned out to be a big fish that was several meters long. An arrow more than one meter long in front of the big green fish looked very scary.

The sailors said one after another: "This is a swordfish, swimming very fast, this one should look like it should be three or four hundred pounds."

Luo Ping competed with the big swordfish. Luo Ping held the fishing line tightly, and the swordfish were tossing back and forth in the sea, churning up and down, and the waves flew around.

Wu Song said: "Luo Ping, do you want your brother to help you?"

Luo Ping said: "No, my brother goes away. I want to pull this big fish up and stew it for my brother to eat."

The swordfish's strength was gradually reduced by Luo Ping's tossing. At this time, Luo Ping exerted force suddenly, and the swordfish reluctantly jumped from the sea to the deck, smashing the deck with a slam.

The swordfish was less than four meters long, and an arrow in front of the mouth was more than one meter long. The swordfish jumped around on the deck, and the sailors were about to stab with spears. Luo Ping said, "Look at me."
