The Spaniards in the chicken coop, waiting for reinforcements from Manila, the Spanish fleet found the Ming fleet and continued to send troops and supplies to Taiwan.The Spaniards came from thousands of miles, and the assistance they could get from Manila naturally could not be compared with the Ming army.China's huge territory and large population can indeed make any enemy shudder.In view of this, the Spaniards decided to send warships to blockade Taiwan, and at the same time began to clear the strongholds of the Ming army on the island of Taiwan.On the sea, more than a dozen lucky boats, loaded with reinforcements and equipment, sailed through the wind and waves, escorted by four gunboats Yang Fan, forming a fleet of nearly 20 ships.When the fleet approached the waters of Tamsui Port, two Spanish galleons appeared on time, and the soldiers on the Ming Army Zhenhai Wangdou suddenly shouted loudly: "Xiyi warship, southeast of the direction, twelve miles!"
”Guo Zhong, who was wearing a python robe and a mesh veil on his head, stood with a knife in his hand, and ordered in a deep voice, "Escort the warship, line up with geese, and prepare to fight!"
”Four Ming gunboats, the side gun windows were opened, the guns pushed out of the gun windows, and the guns of one door pointed to the sea, which was very majestic.The Spanish ships that appeared on the surface of the sea were not afraid, and their sails were fluttering, and they slaughtered the fleet like eagles fighting rabbits."
Boom, boom!"
The Ming gunboats took the lead in firing, and more than 100 artillery pieces fired a salvo, and the shells smashed into the water, startling the water columns one after another, and the scene was magnificent.The Spanish gunboats, then fired their cannons, the two sides came and went, the shells were intertwined on the sea, the smoke of gunpowder rose, and the fighting was more than 30 miles, and the Ming army successfully rushed into the port of Tamsui and transported the troops and supplies ashore.On the other side of the waters of Taiwan Island, Gu San Mazi took three gunboats and cruised in the waters between Taiwan and the Ryukyu Islands.The southern part of Taiwan was a stronghold of the Dutch, and the Spanish ships did not dare to sail close to the east coast of Taiwan, but sailed east of the Bataan Islands, away from the coast.Before Gu San Mazi took refuge in Zhao Ming, he was a pirate in the East China Sea, and he had a lot of experience in robbery, and he also knew about various sea routes and routes.The three Ming gunboats, not under the banner of the Ming army, but according to Zhao Ming's request to hang the Dutch flag, carried out a naval war against the Spaniards on the island of Taiwan, prevented the Spaniards in Manila from sending supplies to the chicken coop, and reduced the war potential of the Spaniards on the island of Taiwan.At this time, three Ming gunboats were chasing and killing a Manila galleon without escort ships, the guns of the Ming warships roared, the cannonballs hit the sailboats, and the debris on the deck was splashed, causing panic among the Spaniards.The Dutch ships were not as strong as the Spanish ships, but they were faster, and the Ming ships chased the Manila galleons and bombarded them, and the sails were torn apart by chain bullets, and the masts were broken by gunboats, and they gradually lost power.Three Ming gunboats took the opportunity to surround the broadside, and the ghost soldiers and the white feudal soldiers swarmed up, occupying the galleon in a moment.On the deck, the Spanish sailors were captured, and the ghost soldiers stood on the deck and the ship's tower, raising their weapons one after another, raising their hands and cheering loudly, "Onboard!"
Onboard!
”At this time, it was already off the sea of the chicken coop, and the cruising Spanish fleet found that the Ming army broke the fleet and immediately came with full sails.Gu San Mazi hurriedly asked people to clean up the supplies, kill Xiyi on the ship, and then chiseled through the bottom of the ship, and then took the three broken ships and left.The Spaniards did not expect that there would be three gunboats attacking their ships, and when the gunboats came and saw three Ming warships flying the flag of the Dutch East India Company going away, the fleet commander immediately roared angrily, "Damn the Dutch!
”~~~~~~ east of Tamsui Port, outside the city of Tamsui Weiyouqianhu, nearly 3,000 Spanish soldiers have set up camp outside the city and besieged the city for more than a month.Now the entire central and northern parts of Taiwan are being warned, with the Ming army in the north fighting the Spaniards, and the Ming army in the south fighting the big-bellied natives.When the indigenous tribes are faced with more advanced civilizations, the upper echelons tend to have a rejective and closed attitude.After the Ming army landed on the island, they burned the wasteland and reclaimed the land, built houses, villages and towns, built ancestral halls, temples, theaters, and set up Mongolian schools and medical centers, bringing a more civilized and comfortable way of life, and spreading it to the local natives, cultivation and textile technology, which damaged the authority of the indigenous leaders in the tribe, so these leaders and sacrifices were very exclusive to the Ming army who came ashore.As the reclamation area of the Ming army expanded and developed to the Taichung area, the potbelly king felt the threat of the Ming army, not only claiming that the Ming people would suffer the punishment of the gods for destroying the mountains and forests, bringing disasters to the tribe, but also forbidding the people to interact with the Ming people.This time, he led 30,000 indigenous soldiers to cross Dajia Creek and destroy many strongholds of the Ming army.Now, the southern front is commanded by Miao Suwei, entangled in Miao Su, Zhu Yan, Xingang Sanwei, about 30,000 tun troops, plus Zhao Ming allocated 500 elite Ming troops to fight against the native soldiers of the potbelly king.On the northern front, 3,000 Spaniards were attacking Tamsui Wei, preparing to take Tamsui Port and cut off the connection between Taiwan and Zhoushan.At this time, Wang Dana led a thousand elite Ming troops, two thousand Tun troops with a total of 3,000 people to hold on to the Thousand Households, Li Zhongming led a thousand elite Ming troops, and 3,000 Tun troops garrisoned the Tamsui Port Fort, Luo Wenyao led 500 cavalry to contain and harass the Spaniards, while Zhao Ming was gathering troops in Tamsui and preparing to launch a counterattack.On the field of the colonel on the west bank of Tamsui, a thousand Ming army flintlock musketeers, lined up neatly, raised muskets and fired a volley, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the air.In the battle with the Dutch, Zhao Ming captured more than 600 flintlock pistols, in the past two years, the Ming army firearms workshop imitated the flintlock pistol, made more than 500 shots, Zhao Ming has more than 1,000 flintlock pistols in his hands.The soldiers armed with long-handled battle axes raised their axes in unison and chopped down the wood, cutting the wood into two pieces in an instant.This long-handled battle axe, in addition to being able to chop, also has a sharp spearhead at the tip of the axe, which can be used as a spear.The plate armor of the Spanish soldiers was strong, and the spears and knives of the Ming army were difficult to break through the armor, and they had to use blunt weapons or heavy weapons to kill and injure the enemy.This kind of tomahawk Zhao Ming is completely built according to the appearance of a Western tomahawk, but in fact, China also had heavy halberd soldiers before, but it is more troublesome to build a heavy halberd, so he chose a tomahawk.In addition to muskets and axes, there are hundreds of sword and shield carts on the school grounds, which are being practiced.Although the West has fought wars one after another in the past 30 years and has developed rapidly militarily, there are also many wars fought in China's history of several thousand years.After the last battle, the Ming army began to ponder the characteristics of the Spaniards, and some people suggested building more shield carts and sword carts to disrupt the Spanish formation.These shield carts, the shields in front, are covered with cowhide and wet cotton quilts, which can withstand the Spanish muskets, and the knife carts are in front of the shield of the shield carts, with rows of sharp knife tips, which are replaced with spearheads, and the soldiers push forward and collide directly with the Spanish army, which will definitely be able to knock the Spanish army into chaos.At this time, Zhao Ming stood on the school field and saw the soldiers' drills, Ding Weiyue said: "Governor, the right thousand households have been fighting hard for more than a month, should we send troops?"
”Zhao Ming bowed slightly, "Beat the drum to gather the generals and discuss sending troops!"
