In Cen Harbor, the sky was still raining, and a large number of Ming soldiers boarded the sea ships anchored in the harbor.The people of Jintang Island suddenly appeared in Zhoushan, and Huang Binqing's subordinates also noticed it, but they did not have an order, and they did not dare to transfer troops without authorization.The soldiers boarded the ship, and the military academy saw Huang Binqing, who was dressed in a robe, standing on the edge of the pier, and no longer had doubts in their hearts, and they all got on the boat ladder one after another.Not long after, on Zhoushan Island, the main force of the Ming army poured out of the nest and all boarded the ships.Zhao Ming immediately said to Huang Binqing: "Huang Dashuai, get on the boat!"
”Huang Binqing was helpless, Zhao Ming held a dagger against his waist, where did he dare to say a word."
Okay, I hope Zhao Dashuai will be the talker!"
Huang Binqing opened his mouth and boarded a fortune boat on Jintang Island.Zhao Ming followed the boat, and immediately waved his hand and ordered, "Raise the anchor and raise the sails, go straight to Liegang, and exterminate Hongmaoyi!"
”On the Fu boat, hang the banner of Huang Binqing, it was dark and rainy, and the fire could not be raised, the soldiers sounded the gongs and drums to give orders, and the sea ships pulled up the anchors, raised the bamboo sails, and the fish ran out of Cen Harbor and pounced on Liegang in the southwest.Nearly 400 large and small sea ships left Zhoushan Island, and the heavy rain in the sky was intermittent, turning into a light rain, and a large moving black shadow moved on the sea, and the scene was spectacular.The next morning, the rain had some effect on the Dutch artillery, but the guns on the lower deck still roared.Yesterday three hundred Dutch soldiers almost took the top of the hill and planted the flags of the Dutch and East India Companies on the top of the hill, but the defenders used an exploding iron mine that disrupted the formation of the Dutch soldiers and made the attack fail.More than 50 Dutch soldiers died in the battle that day, which made Kaauu feel distressed.Although the Dutch killed and wounded at least five times as many Chinese, Kaauu still felt that he had suffered a loss.The Netherlands is a small country in Western Europe, and the population of the entire country is only three or four million, which cannot be compared with China, and no Dutch person has gone through a year or two of sailing to China, and it is difficult to replenish the company.For China, the death of 50 soldiers can only be regarded as a weapon fight, but for Taiwan's East India Branch, it is already broken.In Nanyang, the Dutch soldiers could easily defeat thousands of natives with only platoon guns, but this time they used artillery and platoon guns, but failed to defeat the Chinese.This was one of the greatest losses suffered by the East India Company in the past decade since the Bay of Oranges.Standing on the deck, Kawu scanned the top of the hill with a clairvoyant mirror, "Ordered in a deep voice, continue the shelling, smash the hill, and then attack." ”This time, Kauu decided to use artillery first to completely destroy the resistance of the island's defenders, and then order the soldiers to occupy it."
It's Your Excellency!"
The officer next to him saluted.Seven gunboats began to continue to roar, the harbor was filled with gunsmoke, the hilltop artillery was destroyed by the Dutch on the first day, and the Ming army could only hide in the trench and be beaten passively.At this time, Kaauu was enjoying the spectacular scene of artillery bombardment on the hill, when suddenly the Dutch soldiers on the fight sounded the alarm bell and exclaimed: "There is a fleet!"
”When Kao Wu heard the sound, he turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw a piece of sail shadow outside the harbor, which was a Chinese hard sailing ship.An officer hurriedly walked to the edge of the ship, looked out for a while, and walked back to Kauwu, "Your Excellency, it is a Chinese ship, there are hundreds, we should withdraw from the harbor immediately!"
”Kao Wu put down the clairvoyant mirror, but smiled slightly: "No, that's Huang's fleet, they came just in time, so that our soldiers can avoid casualties!"
”After speaking, Kao Wu handed the clairvoyant mirror to the officer next to him, and the other party saw that there was indeed a big yellow flag on the first lucky ship.At this time, the West did not have an overwhelming advantage over China in terms of economy, culture and military, and Chinese culture was quite strong in East Asia, and Western missionaries needed to learn Han culture and interpret the Bible in a Confucian way.When the officer saw it, he was also relieved.Huang Binqing first found Zheng Zhilong, and through Zheng Zhilong's relationship, he contacted the Dutch.The Dutch were able to stay in Taiwan, in fact, with the tacit approval of Zheng Zhilong, for Zheng Zhilong, he was a businessman and focused on profits.These Dutch were more difficult to deal with, and it was not cost-effective to fight for a long time, which affected trade, and Zheng Zhilong also needed the Dutch, who would buy goods from him and ship them to the West.Staying in Taiwan, Zheng Zhilong could support himself on the one hand, and on the other hand, after the First World War in Luowan, he subdued the Dutch, who paid taxes to the Zheng family every year and became his business partner.Therefore, the Dutch actually have more trust in Zheng Zhilong, and this time it was Zheng Zhilong who pulled the strings, and with the acquiescence of the Zheng family, they promised Huang Binqing to attack Jintang Island.The officer put down the clairvoyant mirror, "Didn't the king say that they would wait until we captured Jintang Island before coming over?"
”Kaauu shrugged his shoulders, "Who knows?
Maybe Huang has changed his attention, afraid that we will swallow Jintang Island alone!
”"Will Your Excellency take it to yourself?"
The officer asked.A smile appeared on Kaowu's face, "The place where the company has laid down is naturally the company's."
Zheng Yiguan, now held back by the Tatars, has no heart to manage the ocean, maybe the company's opportunity has come again. ”As he was talking, the fleet had already arrived outside Liegang, and Zhao Mingyuan thought that the Dutch would see that the fleet would withdraw from the harbor and remain vigilant, not wanting the Dutch to continue to bombard Jintang Mountain."
Huang Dashuai, it seems that Hongmaoyi trusts you very much!"
Zhao Ming said sarcastically.Huang Binqing looked at the Dutch in the harbor, knowing that they were finished, and sighed: "They are giving face to Master Zheng, and I actually don't have much intersection with them." ”Next to him, Sun Sijiang said: "I ran on the sea, I heard that Hongmaoyi is very heavy on contracts, and they formed an alliance with Huang Dashuai, which is equivalent to signing a contract, so I didn't mention precautions!"
”Zhao Ming glanced at Sun Sijiang and shook his head, "Hongmaoyi will only renew the contract when your strength is equal to his, if he has the ability to destroy you, you see if he will abide by the contract, he will definitely eat it, or force you to sign an unequal treaty that oppresses and persecutes you."
Do you still have to abide by such a treaty, and do you emphasize abiding by the contract?
”Sun Sijiang fell into deep thought when he heard this, Zhao Ming looked at the seven gunboats in the bay, but there was an excited look in his eyes, he suddenly pulled out his knife, "The ship orders the fleet, the bee chrysalis goes up, and the capture of the ship is rewarded!"
Today, Ben Shuai will give a vivid lesson to the red-haired ghost!
”The command flag was hoisted on the mast, and hundreds of sea-going ships, raising their full sails, pounced on the Dutch gunboats.()
