It is impossible to expect that there is something unspeakable about Luowan's victory, or that this victory is the same as Ningyuan's victory back then, and its name does not live up to its truth Chen Yonghua also noticed Gan Hui's strangeness, and he didn't want to talk about it, but thinking of his student who was stripped of his title, and the country's surname that had the grace of knowing him, this big battle that made the Zheng family proud of couldn't be ignored because of avoidance.
Pressing the doubts in his heart, Zhou Shixiang asked Chen Yonghua about the battle of Luowan, and only then did he know why Gan Hui was strange, it turned out that this battle was actually commanded by Zheng Zhilong, and Zheng Zhilong was now in Beijing in front of the Manchu Tong'an Hou, so Gan Hui They have a great taboo about this matter, especially now that the King of Qi has not officially dealt with Zheng Jing, in case the mention of Zheng Zhilong who descended to the Qing Dynasty causes the King of Qi to dislike Zheng Jing, it will be very bad.
Zhou Shixiang would not be disgusted with Zheng Jing because of Zheng Zhilong's affairs, in his opinion, Zheng Zhilong's surrender to the Qing was Zheng Zhilong's surrender to the Qing, and it had nothing to do with Zheng Jing and Zheng Xi and other descendants of the Zheng family.
After all, the Zheng family has a head of the Qing Dynasty, and there are also heads of the family who insist on resisting the Qing Dynasty.
Zhou Shixiang will not be so small that he denies everything about the Zheng family because Zheng Zhilong descended to the Qing Dynasty, and even more denies Zheng Zhilong's past.
Moreover, he has now taken over all the forces left by Zheng Sen, including the Second Division of Water and Land, among which there are many generals brought out by Zheng Zhilong back then, and there are even more members of the Zheng family.
Others don't say it, just say that Zheng Xi, the new Prince of Min, is Zheng Zhilong's son, and Zheng Mingjun and Zheng Zhangxu, who were named princes, are also Zheng Zhilong's nephews.
Only from the perspective of politics and uniting the Zheng family, in the future, Zhou Shixiang may have to show goodwill to Zheng Zhilong.
Of course, the premise is that Zheng Zhilong will not be killed by the Manchus as in the original history.
For the battle of Liuluo Bay, Zhou Shi asked a lot, although the two fortresses of the Dutch in Taiwan made him pay attention, and the Dutch warships also made him dare not take it lightly.
After noticing that Zhou Shi did not have much disgust with Zheng Zhilong, Chen Yonghua perked up and vividly depicted the naval battle of Liaoluo Bay that year.
The Battle of Liuluo Bay was indeed the largest battle between the Ming and Dutch armies, and its intensity and intensity were even more fierce than the crossing of the sea.
After Nan Juyi was transferred out of Fujian, the Dutch felt that there was an opportunity, so they began to get involved in Penghu again in the early years of Chongzhen, but this time they met Zou Weilian, the governor of Fujian who was resolutely fighting.
In the sixth year of Chongzhen, Zou Weilian swore to supervise the battle in Haicheng in order to fight against the Dutch, and made Zheng Zhilong the striker.
After Zheng Zhilong learned of the location and size of the Dutch fleet and the pirate fleet, he ordered the sailors to attack.
In order to boost morale, in addition to the rewards officially arranged by the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Zhilong himself used the Jianghu Order and used his own private treasury to issue rewards to his subordinates: each participant was given two taels of silver, and if the war was prolonged, an additional five taels were given.
There were 16 men for each fireship, and if the Dutch ship was burned, two hundred taels of silver, and fifty taels of silver for a Dutchman's head.
At that time, the seven-rank official monthly salary of the imperial court was only about five taels of silver, and Zheng Zhilong's reward was quite high.
The high reward and the anger aroused by the righteousness of the rivers and lakes made Zheng Zhilong's subordinates morale high.
When the Ming side was actively preparing for war, the Dutch did not dare to slack off, and they recruited Zheng Zhilong's opponent pirate Liu Xiang as reinforcements.
Liu Xiang brought more than 50 warships.
For a period of time after that, the heavy military groups of the two sides searched for each other and looked for fighters for each other, and finally the Battle of Liaoluo Bay broke out.
In this battle, 8 sailing ships of the Dutch fleet and 50 large and small sailing ships of pirates fought against 50 large warships and 100 fireships of the Ming Dynasty sailors.
At dawn, the 150 warships of the main force of the Ming army, which had received reliable information, quietly sailed to the mouth of Liaoluo Bay in the south of Kinmen Island, where all the main forces of the Dutch Liu Xiang combined fleet were moored.
When it was discovered that the Ming army was attacking, the Heliu fleet set up a defensive formation with a Dutch warship in the center and the pirate ships scattered in all directions, while the Ming fleet was deployed in the southeast corner of Liaoluo Bay, with Zheng Zhilong's troops as the vanguard, and adopted a two-way assault along the east wind, and the black tiger dug out the heart.
According to the prior arrangement, the main forces of the Ming army all went straight to the Dutch fleet, and only auxiliary forces were used to deal with the pirate ships.
At the same time, they adopted a style of play that the Dutch had never seen in the European theater - the tactic of sea of fire.
Among the 150 warships of the Ming army, only 50 were gunboats, and the remaining 100 small boats were all fireboats.
The Dutch fleet was defeated, losing three battleships, and the rest of the ships fled after being seriously wounded.
The fifty Liu Xiang warships that participated in the war were all wiped out in Liuluo Bay.
According to later statistics, there were more than 100 captured Dutchmen alone, and countless others fell into the water and died.
This battle is also the real beginning of Zheng Zhilong's career.
Later, the Dutch again sent Lang Bi and Ricco to lead 9 large warships to harass the Chinese coast, and defeated the small fleet of the Ming Dynasty sailors several times, but in the end Zheng Zhilong sent people to swim in the water with bamboo tubes full of gunpowder to attack, and burned 5 ships in a row, and Lang Bi was defeated and returned.
It was not until this time that the Ming Zheng fleet finally seized all the East Asian sea control from Japan to the South China Sea, and at this time, Zheng Zhilong was called the "King of the Fujian Sea".
Because of this, the later Tang King entered Fujian and called Longwu, Zheng Zhilong descended to the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Sen exalted the anti-Qing righteous division, and there was a seventeen-year history of resistance to the Qing Dynasty in Jinxia.
"In this way, the sailor of the red-haired ghost is not a big deal."
Although in the previous naval battles of Ming and Dutch, the Ming army bullied the more and the less, but the Ming army's tactical use was also remarkable.
These combat experiences are also extremely valuable, and Zhou Shixiang wants to cross the sea to kill the Dutch chicken and set an example of the Spanish monkey, provided that the Daming Sailor adapted from the Zheng Jun's sailor can annihilate the Dutch sailor and clear all obstacles to the city of Genasa and Puruminsha.
Therefore, the experience of the previous battles with the Dutch warships must be summed up in order to succeed in one blow.
Zhou Shixiang doesn't want to play in Taiwan for more than half a year like Zheng Sen, his time is very limited.
The plan for the sea-crossing campaign drawn up by the military headquarters in accordance with his requirements would take at least three months, and it would have to wait until March before the sea-crossing operation could be launched.
Originally, Zhou Shi had a lot of worries about crossing the sea to fight, but now his confidence has increased greatly, no matter whether he bullies more or less, he can still do what Zheng Zhilong can do.
Haven't you ever eaten pork and seen it run?
Zhou Shixiang himself is not good at water warfare, but he is self-aware, and he will not let the people who will go.
This time to cross the sea to recover Taiwan, there is no need to transfer those sailors and generals under Zhang Huangyan from Jiangnan, there is one on the Jinxia side.

As long as he relinquishes power and is free to play by the front-line generals, Zheng Sen's uncontested work will definitely be completed by him.
Seeing that His Royal Highness the King of Qi was full of confidence, He Bin had the heart to advise not to underestimate the enemy, but he thought that after all, he was a newcomer to vote, and he was humble and light-hearted, if he made King Qi unhappy, it would be a little more than worth the loss.
"By the way, how big is the red-haired ghost's warship," Zhou Shixiang began to ask for specific details.
"Back to Your Highness, the warships of the red-haired ghost are all five-masted galleons, with three decks, such as the Hector and the Sgraflan, the two ships are more than two hundred feet long, nearly fifty feet wide, and the deck is more than two feet thick, and there are huge cannons with a length of more than ten feet on the ship, which are extremely powerful."
According to the measurements of Zhou Shixiang's previous life, one meter is equal to three feet three, so if you calculate it, the Dutch warship is seventy or eighty meters long, more than ten meters wide, and the giant cannon is five or six meters long.
It's a big dick, an absolute big dick.
The ships of the Zheng Junshui Division were somewhat smaller than the Dutch ships, about half the size of the other side, and the tonnage was also small.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the main warships of the Ming army's naval divisions could have 2,500 tons, but now Zhou Shixiang learned that the largest naval warships were only a few hundred tons, so from the perspective of body shape alone, the Dutch warships were obviously behemoths.
According to Zheng Mingjun's report, Zheng Jun's naval division had a large ship, a big war ship, a water ship, a rushing ship, a sand ship, an oolong ship, a gun ship, and a fast whistle, among which the big war ship was a double-deck, gunboat modeled after the Dutch Galen.
There is a Hongyi cannon on the ship, weighing 4,000 catties, more than 20 copper cannons are installed on both sides of the bow, and there are 1 to 200 large and small poles.
The rest of the warships were not as large as the big warships, among which the bird boats, fast whistles, and gun ships were no more than ten meters.
The whole army has more than 40 large war ships, more than 30 large ships, and nearly 600 other warships of various types.
He Bin said that there were only four Dutch warships in Dongfan, which made Zhou Shixiang feel a little relieved.
The Dutch warships are big, but there are only 4 of them, and many ants bite the elephant to death, and they can also pile him to death with a hard pile of ships.
The only thing to worry about was the reinforcements of the Dutch, who had a strong Far Eastern Fleet in Batavia, and it would be a surprise if the battle for the crossing of the sea did not go well, and the Dutch reinforcements arrived.
Therefore, the sea-crossing operation must be decided as soon as possible, money, food, and materials must be replenished immediately, and troops will be dispatched to the east in early March.
"Recovering Dongfan, is not only the wish of the marshal, but also the wish of the country's surname, this time the marshal summoned you in Kinmen, is to set the matter of crossing the sea to recover the east.
Most of the people here are naval generals, you have followed the country to fight in the south and the north for so many years, and the ability to fight at sea is very ashamed of yourself, so this time to fight the red-haired ghost, this handsome can't do anything, everything has to be done to everyone" Zhou Shixiang was talking, and the blind man Li hurriedly walked in and said in a low voice: "Dashuai, eight hundred miles urgent" "What is going to be 800 miles to expedit" Zhou Shixiang was a little dissatisfied with the blind man Li interrupting his pre-war mobilization of the generals of the Navy Division at this time, and took over the 800 miles of urgency, saying that it was Shao Jiugong of Guizhou who had won the victory again When he opened it, Zhou Shixiang suddenly changed color, and said angrily: "Li Laiheng is confused, and he mistook me for a big thing" oshow7 t1706231537:
