Outside Haojing Port, there are many Western sailing ships, many white sails like clouds, and Western fans wearing tricorne hats are also densely in and out of Haojing Port.It seems that this place has become the original residence of Western fans.There are even church bells and chanting in Portuguese.However, in a workshop in the port, a group of Han people in shackles were carrying wood, which made it a little incongruous."
Hurry up!
You are slaves that we bought, and if you want to live, don't be lazy!
”And when these interpreters and supervisors around them were shouting these Han people at this time, many seagulls suddenly flew on the sea level outside the port of Haojing, and then a towering mast appeared on the sea level, and gradually, ten big flags with the word "Ming" began to appear clearly on the sea, like a red sun, very brilliant.At the same time, at the northern tip of the Haojing Peninsula, there were also a large number of Ming infantry cavalry soldiers, who were red like fireworks, pouring mountains and seas.These Westerners began to feel shocked and nervous."
Get on board!
Get ready for battle!
”Captain Tector shouted at this, and many of the Franc sailors were busy on board.Rumble!
Rumble!
Rumble!
The Ming warships soon opened fire directly.There was a loud roar of artillery.Many of the ships were directly beaten to sawdust and swayed on the sea, and the ships also rolled into the sea like dumplings in the soup.Portugal's illegitimate governing body in Ho Ho is the Ho Ho Ho Kong Council.After a while, the members of the Ho Jing Council also heard the sound of cannons from the sea, and after reporting from the West, they learned that everything that was happening now was because of the Ming people."
Damn!
This is already the territory of my Franc machine, why didn't these Ming people come here, and why didn't the Ming officials in Guangdong come with a message!
”Councillor Kadok said with some exasperation."
It's too late to say this now, the Ming State Water Master came too suddenly, we must respond immediately!"
Said another MP, Durham."
Let the St.
Francis Battery immediately open fire, hoping to stop these Ming Naval Divisions!"
Kardock said.Because Ho Ho Ho was attacked by the Dutch five years ago, the Portuguese have now strengthened their defenses in Ho Ho and forcibly built the city wall despite the opposition of the Ming Dynasty.In addition, without the consent of the Ming court, the king of Portugal appointed the governor of Haojing, and added artillery and forts to Haojing.It's just that the governor appointed by Portugal has not yet arrived, so it is still the Council that rules the Ho Jing.However, even if the Portuguese strengthened their defenses in Ho Jing, they would still not be able to compete in the face of a super empire like the Ming Dynasty.In the past, because the Ming Emperor Zhu Youxiao's focus was on strengthening imperial power and internal affairs, he did not take into account the loss of Haijiang interests.But now, since the Ming Emperor Zhu Youxiao has paid attention to the sea frontier, it will be difficult for these Westerners to stop the Ming Dynasty.After all, Daming is still a super empire in this area.The number of troops that can be mobilized is not comparable to that of Portugal."
Order, stop the test gun, and the battleships are moving forward at great speed."
At this time, Chen Xin stood on the deck of the flagship "Dongou King", looked at Haojing City with a telescope, and gave the latest order.The opening of the Guards Naval Division at the beginning was indeed only a test gun, a test range.To Chen Xin's surprise, the newly installed Apocalypse six-year cannon does have an amazing range and accuracy.Because of the skillful application of the crucible steelmaking method, high-quality drill bits began to appear, so that the cannon of the Ming Dynasty began to appear simple two rotating rifling, so that the artillery of the Ming Dynasty has been updated from the iron-core copper-tire cannon a few years ago to the rear-loading rifled gun, and the shells have also been upgraded to cylindrical shells.And this cannon is also called the six years of the Apocalypse because it took several years to make it until the sixth year of the Apocalypse.Now this artillery is indeed at a great distance, and it is full of holes in the St.
Francis battery in Haojing.At this time, not long after Chen Xinhua fell behind, the Ming warships turned around and drove towards Haojing quickly.And when the ten battleships of the Guards Navy Division were heading towards Haojing, the Portuguese who were still alive at the St.
Francis Fort in Haojing also began to fire back.The Portuguese artillery was also dense, and it directly rammed the battleships of the Ming Kai, causing many of the advancing Guards warships to suffer artillery bombardment.Even a giant ship such as the "King of Eastern Europe" was shelled, and several parts of the hull were damaged.But the Guards Naval Division's battleships are still advancing at a rapid pace.However, not long after, Chen Xin suddenly ordered: "The wind direction has changed, retreat according to the original plan, retreat to the previous position, form a line again, and bombard its batteries!"
”Chen Xin naturally did not do this because he was afraid of the Portuguese artillery, but on purpose.Because he had obtained the defense map of Haojing through the information provided by Jinyiwei before attacking Haojing, and had also formulated a corresponding strategy, it was impossible for him to concentrate all his forces to attack Haojing head-on, in fact, he had already prepared a surprise army to land from the current pond east of Haojing, and now he shelled and even attacked and even retreated to the St.
Francis battery to attract the attention of the Portuguese."
The Ming warship has retreated!"
The Portuguese cheered happily at the St.
Francis Battery.Talem, who also came here, furrowed his brows and said: "The Ming people are not Dutch, their retreat does not mean that they will give up, they will definitely deploy troops in other aspects, otherwise they will not show cowardice before they have been hit hard!"
I have to go back to the council and tell them that I have to guard against attacks from other ways by the Ming. ”The Marines of the 1st Battalion of the Guards Marine Division had indeed landed at the present reservoir east of Macao, and even the heavy artillery had been brought ashore with the help of the black slaves.The use of black slaves has become a common phenomenon among all maritime powers.Because in this era, the black slave trade has been very developed, and the wealthy officers and soldiers of the Daming Navy Division will also buy a few black slaves to serve themselves, after all, they are at sea all the year round, and they are less controlled by the imperial court than the army, so they are more open, not to mention, the imperial court only prohibits the use of their own people as slaves.Moreover, the Daming Maritime Frontier is too vast, and if we want to safeguard our maritime interests, we need a lot of maritime forces, but it takes a long time for the regular army training of the Daming Naval Division, especially the training of officers, which requires strict training and ideological education in military schools.But now, there are many forces competing with the Ming court for maritime interests, and there is an urgent need for sufficient manpower to safeguard maritime interests.Therefore, the officers and soldiers of the naval division of the Ming Guards sometimes had to spend some money to buy foreign slaves.Anyway, the Guards are not short of money, only manpower, and in the outer fan, the lives of people like the Japanese and the black slaves are very cheap, so they naturally bought a batch of foreign slaves as slaves.Not only black slaves, but also Japanese people among the slaves of the Daming Navy Division Marine Corps, however, because the Japanese are obedient and obedient in front of the strong, and they are especially not afraid of death when they fight, especially the Japanese ronin, so the officers and soldiers of the Daming Navy Division prefer to let the Japanese fight for themselves, that is, as cannon fodder.Just like during the Jiajing period, the Japanese rebellion was also because many Japanese people were hired by pirates as soldiers to plunder the mainland.At this time, the armed forces that were the first to land and rush to the position of the defenders of Haojing City were the musket team composed of Japanese people, who served as cannon fodder.The defenders in the defenders' positions are actually Japanese people, and it is impossible for the Portuguese to charge into battle by themselves, and the Portuguese have long had a tradition of hiring Japanese people as musketeers.After all, in this era, the country of the Japanese is narrow and there are many people, so there are many Japanese people in exile, and the strong people like to hire the Japanese to fight and kill people for themselves, because the Japanese are influenced by the spirit of bushido, and they are indeed not afraid of death, and they are particularly loyal to their strong masters, which is very suitable for being dogs.Therefore, at this time, the entire battlefield of the landing operation became two groups of Japanese people fighting.Shen Zhaoyun, an officer of the Guards Naval Division, was on the battleship still some distance from the shore at this time, watching the two groups of dwarves on both sides of the enemy and us shooting fiercely, shouting in a goof.
