Chapter 80: Detect in advance + the enemy has made a move (4,000 words) "Hey!"
Cheng Chuliang sighed, he understood too well what Fang Yiai meant - although the current fleet speed is already the fastest speed of a warship, but in fact, this fastest is to be put in double quotation marks, because before this fastest, there is also a premise of 'ensuring the quality of the warship', that is to say, this fastest speed refers to the fastest under the premise of ensuring the quality of the warship itself, and on top of this maximum speed, there is also a limit speed, and the limit speed does not need to consider the quality of the warship, so it can soar faster.
It's just that the speed of this soaring is a prerequisite for sacrificing the life of the ship - if you don't hesitate to sacrifice the life of the ship, then the speed of the warship can be increased by at least half, the problem is that if you really run back like this, even if the warship is not scrapped, it must be overhauled, if the keel is injured in such a run, then the warship can only be sent to the naval academy as a training ship or thrown directly to the shipyard as a target ship, there is no need to repair it at all.
And the loss of so many warships at one time during the voyage, even Fang Yiai will be criticized and even punished by the imperial court, unless he can compensate for the loss of warships this time - the problem is that these dozen battleships plus so many cruisers and destroyers, the price is not a small amount, even if Fang Yiai's father is the prime minister of the dynasty and one of the few princes in the Tang Dynasty, even if Fang Yiai has done business with Li Zhen a few times and made a lot of money, he is more or less a rich man.
But with so many warship losses, even if they sold his home, they would definitely not be able to afford it.
Of course, if you compare it with the loss of the capture of Coconut Harbor, if you can really save Coconut Harbor, just a few warships, it is not a too serious loss - besides, isn't there still a prince?
Fang Yi's hobby was also so panicked in order to save the prince, which led to a fire in the backyard, although the prince was not saved in the end, but he came so hard, even if there is no credit, there must be a little hard work.
With this intention alone, the imperial court will also reduce the claim as appropriate, and besides, in order to save you a prince, I caused such a big loss to the fleet, and your Royal Highness the Prince, as the beneficiary, how can I help compensate a little, right?
Therefore, Fang Yiai may not be able to accompany much.
But if the ship is also lost, and the coconut port is not saved, it will be better - anyway, the coconut port has been ransacked, and the guilt of Fang Yiai's love is greater, compared with the guilt of losing the coconut port, what is the value of a dozen warships?
If there are more lice, it will not itch, and if there are more debts, you will not worry.
At this time, the situation in Coconut Harbor is indeed as predicted by Li Zhen, it has fallen into chaos - a little different from Li Zhen's prediction, for the attacking enemy, Coconut Harbor's side is not defenseless, they have also seen the enemy's plan in advance, and made a corresponding corresponding strategy, but there was an accident in the middle......
In fact, this morning, the navy that went out to patrol the sea had already discovered that there were some strange ships roaming around the periphery of Coconut Harbor, and from time to time they also spied on the port for a time or two.
According to the previous rules, the patrolling navy should have directly stepped forward to interrogate, and once there was really an abnormality, the fleet would be immediately notified to arrest it.
But today is different, the elite of the Coconut Harbor Naval Detachment has all been transferred away by Fang Yiai, and now the Coconut Harbor Fleet is simply a foreign powerhouse and a middle cadre, at this time everything must be safe, what is it to lose a little face?
As long as they can survive until the return of Fang Yi's love, then everything will be worth it - besides, there are no warships inside to back, and their little sampans don't have the confidence to come forward and interrogate these ships that don't look easy to mess with.
Therefore, the patrolling navy could only record all this, and then reported the situation to Sima Cuo, the deputy governor of the fleet left behind in Coconut Harbor, and Sima Cuo did not dare to be careless after learning of this situation, and ordered the coastal defense battery and the Marine Corps left behind (Fang Yiai was a light car in order to save people, only brought the navy, not the marines, and said that the Marine Corps was useless at sea) to be on guard at the same time, and reported the situation again, and told the situation to the deputy governor of the Coconut Harbor Metropolitan Protectorate Guan Wenhai - the Metropolitan Protectorate has two deputy governors, One is the rebellious Zhongli City, and the other is this Guan Wenhai, but Guan Wenhai did not serve in Coconut Port before, but sat in northern Luzon.
After the Zhonglicheng rebellion was arrested, Coconut Harbor was purged, officials were scarce, and Fang Yiai had just transferred him back.
Now that Fang Yiai has gone to sea to save people, he has become the person with the highest position in the Metropolitan Protector's Mansion, and even Sima Cuo is under him.
"You mean we're going to be attacked?"
After Guan Wenhai heard Sima Cuo's report, he immediately understood what Sima Cuo wanted to express, but he was dismissive of it: "Are you underestimating ourselves too much?"
Although we don't have a fleet, not to mention that there are so many batteries in the port, let's just say that we have tens of thousands of troops stationed in Coconut Harbor, who do you think would have the courage to trouble us?
Even if someone really has the guts, do they have that much power?
” Guan Wenhai is a middle-aged man in his forties, strong and strong, with dark skin, no matter how you look at it, such a physique can't be on the side of a civil official, but more like a fierce general fighting on the battlefield - but unfortunately, Guan Wenhai is indeed a civil official, a Jinshi who has been Zhenguan for eight years, and his ability is not bad, at least it is no problem to be a state assassin, and the imperial court asked him to come to Luzon, but also wanted him to assist Fang Yiai to govern Luzon.
On the contrary, his martial arts are very ordinary, although it can't be said that it won't, but at least a little bit of three-legged cat kung fu - he is really blind to such a good physique.
And what is even more unfortunate is that it is precisely because of his size that he can't eat either the civil official system or the military general system, and the civil officials regard him as a military general, and the military general can't look down on his crop style, resulting in him can only be caught in the middle of the two ends of the anger, and finally can only be sent by himself, from the central court to the local area, and become the capital protector of the Luzon Metropolitan Protectorate.
It stands to reason that he can be a deputy protector of the upper capital at this age, and from the position of Sipin, he is already a rare young Zhuang faction in the imperial court, but Guan Wenhai doesn't think so, because on his head, there is a yellow-haired boy - although Fang Yiai is also in his thirties, but in ancient times, the gap between more than ten years was enough worse than Guan Wenhai's generation.
Especially Fang Yiai is still a soldier, so Guan Wenhai has always looked down on this vulgar boss, and he is even more resentful that he can climb to his head, thinking that Fang Yiai can achieve today's position, purely relying on the help of his father and Li Zhen, if he can have such conditions and background, he will definitely do better than Fang Yiai.
So Guan Wenhai despises Fang Yiai, what can this kind of second ancestor who relies on a deep background to ascend to the throne do?
It's a pity that although he can't look down on Fang Yi's love, he has a deep background, and Guan Wenhai can't be provoked.
Therefore, not long after coming to Luzon, he invited himself again, but this time he did not invite himself, but asked Fang Yiai to transfer him to the north and guard the north, so that he could not only avoid seeing this second ancestor, but also develop his own strength and become his own soil emperor.
Regarding Guan Wenhai's request, Fang Yiai agreed almost without thinking - Guan Wenhai can't look down on him, how can he not see it?
However, Guan Wenhai was appointed by the imperial court, and Fang Yiai could not drive him away.
Fang Yiai is a very rational person (in fact, that's the case, but he usually behaves more funny), since he can't drive people away, and they will make trouble together, it's better to separate the two, so it's better than fighting each other, which will eventually lead to the delay of government affairs.
Even so, when the two get together, there will always be conflicts, just like during this time, although Guan Wenhai has only been in Coconut Hong Kong for less than half a month, there have been more than a dozen conflicts between the two because of political discord, almost once a day on average.
In previous years, the conflict between the two was only persuaded by Zhong Licheng and Lin Fa, and now Zhong Licheng has been arrested, Lin Fa has also been purged because of the fleet, and he has no time to persuade him because of his busy affairs, and Li Zhen has been ordered not to come out, resulting in the two of them being more and more noisy in the past few days, and they almost started several times, and each time they were pulled away by the people around them - although Guan Wenhai is not Cheng Chuliang's opponent, he can't lose at this time.
"My lord, now is not the time to be vindictive, since the enemy can besiege His Royal Highness the Prince, how can their power be weak?"
Sima Cuo is also an old man in Coconut Harbor, so he naturally knows the contradiction between the two, and said sincerely: "What's more, the situation is obvious now, Lord Du Hu has fallen into the enemy's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and the enemy's siege of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is just a bluff, and their real goal has always been Coconut Harbor - don't forget, compared with His Royal Highness the Prince, the heritage of Coconut Harbor is not bad at all, if Coconut Harbor is captured, everything here falls into the hands of the enemy, then Datang will face the trouble of setting up a code, you should be very clear." ” "Well, what you said makes so much sense, it's that I'm thinking too simply."
Hearing this, Guan Wenhai changed his laziness and indifference, and became shrewd again: "Now that Lord Du Hu is not here, the elite has also been drawn out, but we have just carried out a major purge internally, which is the weakest time, and it is also the easiest to be taken advantage of by the enemy......
You're right, no matter what the origin of those ships is, we have to take precautions......
In this way, I now order you for the time being to be the lieutenant of the Coconut Harbor garrison, to be in charge of all matters relating to the defense of Coconut Harbor, and to strive to destroy the invading enemy with one blow. ” “…… Yes, thank you for the reminder of Lord Deputy Capital Protector......
"Sima was speechless, of course he knew the reason why Guan Wenhai became like this, not because of how clear the facts he stated, nor because he revealed Guan Wenhai's little abacus, purely because he mentioned Fang Yiai, he just said that Fang Yiai fell into the enemy's scheme, and it was this point that hit Guan Wenhai's cool point - in vain, you Fang Yiai prides himself on being shrewd on weekdays, and there are times when you are scheming, and you want me to wipe your ass, this time I want to see after I destroy the enemy who came to attack, how do you face me when you come back?
What face do you have to face me?
That's right, it was the anger of the two that made Guan Wenhai interested, he now very much hopes that the enemy will come to attack, and then kill the enemy under his wise command, and finally show his face in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with this record, and at the same time slap Fang Yiai in the face, it's not too cool......
It's just that Guan Wenhai thinks very well, but he ignores one thing, that is, he has been guarding the north all these years, and he doesn't know much about the situation in Coconut Port, he thinks that Coconut Port has been completely stable after being cleaned, but in fact, there are still a lot of fish that have slipped through the net in this purge - and even Sima Cuo is not very clear about this, because he, like Guan Wenhai, is sitting outside, and rarely comes to Coconut Port every year except for coming to the headquarters to report on his work.

Usually, the understanding of Coconut Harbor is learned from the newspaper issued by the Metropolitan Protectorate and the past merchants, and they have not had time to accept the real insider.
This also led to their ignorance of the situation in Coconut Harbor, although they immediately noticed that something was wrong and carried out a suitable defensive strategy, but because of this, their actions also played a role in scaring the snake, and also let the enemy's hidden spies discover their purpose, so things changed......
"Boom!"
There was a loud roar, and there was a violent explosion at the ammunition depot located in the depths of the barracks.
"Deputy Governor, no, the No. 3 arsenal exploded."
Hearing the sound, before Sima Cuo could ask, a chief rushed in covered in blood and reported.
"What's going on?"
Sima Cuo asked eagerly, "Who did it?"
” "It's our lieutenant, he just checked the arsenal, and it turned out that not long after he got in, something like this happened......
The captain never came out, including the brothers around him, and he didn't come out alive......
Woo woo woo ......
"Shi Chang began to cry as he spoke, and he didn't know if he was crying for his brothers or for the death of the captain?
"How can this be ......"
"Boom!"
Before Sima could finish his words, he was interrupted by a second explosion.
"Deputy Governor, no, the No. 2 munition exploded."
Similarly, before Sima Coo could send someone to investigate the situation, another Wu Chang ran in quickly and reported with a muddy face and a mess.
"Damn......
Who went in this time?
"Now, if Sima Cuo couldn't see anything, then he really lived for so many years in vain - it was clearly an enemy plot to use the dead soldiers to blow up the ammunition depot in Coconut Harbor in preparation for the next invasion.
