Chapter 527 Undercurrent Surge In view of the fact that Europe is now a pot of porridge, the whole family army and the Dutch are in a delicate state, for example, if the Dutch want to trade with the Ming Dynasty, the armed merchant ships must be equipped with gun suits, and the whole family army and navy will not take the initiative to attack them.The three Galen ships were all armed merchant ships, and they sailed slowly at speeds of seven to eight knots per hour.Fuente's flagship is the Adventurer, and the other two are the Explorer and the Warrior.For these three ships that suddenly appeared off the coast of Japan, the family navy sent an old-fashioned gunboat, No. 556, to follow them.This kind of gunboat, which is not even a bird ship, is the same system as the main gunboat of the First Fleet of the Liaodong Naval Division, and has eight six-pounder small bronze cannons for 400 materials.This kind of gunboat has been reduced to a new training ship for the whole family army, serving as a patrol and guard mission, and will not participate in naval battles in peacetime.The trainee captain has a baby face, his name is Zhang Fengshou, and he is the second generation of the whole family.Zhang Fengshou ordered: "Give them flags, order them to stop the boat, and accept our inspection!"
”Fuente looked at the other party's flag in the universal flag, and his face turned blue with anger: "Why do they want to inspect our ship?"
”"On the eastern sea, they have defeated the combined fleet of the Dutch, as well as our Spanish fleet in the Philippines, and the Zheng fleet, and now they have the strength to do so!"
Fuente thought for a moment: "Is there still a fleet of Daming around?"
”"No, there is not a single ship in this sea, within fifteen nautical miles around!""
Very good!"
Fuente said slowly: "Lower the sails and slow down, the explorers are on the left, and the Warrior is on the right flank, prepare to shell and sink them!"
”The first mate hurriedly persuaded: "Sir Fuente, once we provoke a war, they will tear us to pieces, now there are hundreds of warships in the Ming Dynasty, we" "Execute the order!"
”Seeing that the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, this gunboat, which belonged to the Second Fleet of the Whole Family Army, was still about 500 meters away from the largest Galen ship in Spain.If the sailors and sailors of this gunboat were old birds, they would have noticed that the three Galen ships were in a zigzag shape and were coming towards them.The young Zhang Fengshou didn't realize the danger at all, he smiled lightly: "I miss the liquor of Liaodong very much, and I don't know when I can get a holiday" Before the words fell, he was horrified to see the largest Galen ship, and a cloud of orange smoke suddenly rose from the stern, and the orange fire flashed."
Boom!"
Two shells flew towards them, and the Galen ship was firing at them!
Zhang Fengshou's face turned white: "These damn Xiyi, they actually made the first move!"
These damn people actually dare to provoke the whole family army!
”"Boom, boom, boom!"
Three Galen ships, two of which had broadside guns firing at the same time, the sound was like rolling thunder, and more than a dozen lead balls screamed all the way towards the 556 gunboats!"
Fight back, fight back!"
Don't look like they're all novices, before the inspection, the guns were loaded, and when they saw the Galen ship sneak attack, they also lit the fuse of the ship's guns.If it is an old-fashioned naval gun, there is no chance of creating a Galen ship, even if the Galen ship does not fight back, this kind of small gunboat with only 400 materials is a Galen ship that is more than ten times larger.The problem, however, is that this type of gunboat is equipped with a triple rocket launcher, which is added to train rocket gunners on the main warship."
Boom two bangs!"
Two large holes were carved out of the left hull of the 556 Lotus, and the flames swelled out, and the whole family of sailors in the cabin was blown to the ground, and the violent vibration made the whole warship jolt like a cramp, and many sailors suddenly became rolling gourds.Two of their shells were hit, sending sawdust to the enemy ship, and a sailor was hit in the head by a bouncing lead ball, bursting his brain and dying instantly.On top of that, three rocket launchers flew towards the Galen ship with a long tail flame.Coincidentally, a shell that hit No. 556 collided in the air with a rocket launcher that had just broken away from the launcher, and the rocket launcher exploded, and the other two rockets were also affected in their flight trajectory.The "boom" rocket launcher did not hit Fuente's flagship, but hit the Warrior on his right, so that it would not die on the deck of the Warrior and exploded, the blue and white flames of the canopy wrapped in pungent smoke flew out, and after receiving a rocket, the unfortunate Warrior fell to the deck of his grandmother's house in a sea of fire, and the Spanish sailors were covered with flames all over their bodies, drilling straight into the bones, screaming one by one, wailing and jumping off the deck desperately and jumping into the sea.The rigging and sails on the Warrior burned even more violently, and the flames soared into the sky!"
The Warrior is finished!"
Fuente's face turned pale with anger, originally thinking that this was an asymmetrical battle that could be over in a few minutes.Yes, in a few minutes, the battle was over.However, it turned out to be very annoying to him.He lost a Galen ship loaded with a large amount of gold, food, drinking water, and more than 3,000 catties of gunpowder, without which this rocket shell could not have killed a 1,500-ton Galen ship.At this time, the No. 556 gunboat also sank in the Sea of Japan, and only two of the 23 naval soldiers on board survived.Fuente triumphed, but he couldn't laugh.Even at the moment before the warship sank, the soldiers on the Ming warship did not jump into the sea to flee for their lives, but shot at them with firearms.At this time, the distance between the two sides was only more than 200 meters, and two sailors were hit, one dead and one wounded.Fuente began to rescue the Spanish sailors, but unfortunately, the fire burned too quickly, and only nineteen of the one hundred and twenty-seven sailors on the Galen ship were successfully rescued.The 556 gunboat did not have a radio station, so when it was sunk, it did not send out an alarm, but fortunately, the sound of the cannon attracted the arrival of the bird boat and the Wuwei boat of the whole family army.The speed of the bird boat and the blacktail ship was limited and could not catch up with the Galen ship.Yang Yandong was not too nervous when he lost a gunboat, whether it was fighting a war or begging for a living at sea, there were too many accidents and variables.Yang Yandong adjusted the patrol arrangement, changing the patrol to a single patrol to a fleet patrol type, each detachment has one junk ship, three black-tailed boats, or four to six bird boats, and as for the gunboats, eight to ten ships follow, so that each detachment has 16 to 18 ships, each ship is five kilometers apart.The patrol range has not changed much to avoid a similar tragedy.Under the guidance of the guide, Bao Jing took Fuente's two Galen boats and sailed up the Heilongjiang River to Ningguta.Those who have watched the braided drama of the Qing Palace are no strangers to Ningguta, which is a very terrifying place, and Ningguta will be enslaved forever.In fact, this is the city established by Nurhachi in the 43rd year of Wanli, and now it is the capital of Huang Taiji's "Dajin" country.In fact, Fuente did not actually approve of Governor Kralt's support for the Jurchens of Jianzhou, however, when he came to this dilapidated city, he looked at those ragged Jurchens who looked like beggars.It was as if he had entered the gaze of a herd of wild beasts."
Respectful guests, welcome!"
Huang Taiji did not put his Khan King on the shelf in front of Fuente, not only came to greet him in person, but also brought a large group of beauties, killed sheep, and held singing and dancing, and bonfire parties.In the tent in the distance, a woman's screams could be heard.Huang Taiji's face does not change, those foreign devils, they haven't done anything yet, but they are active in women."
Are these foreigners reliable?"
Bao Jing bowed and said: "Hui Khan King, is it still important whether it is reliable or not?"
The point is, they can now provide us with firearms. ”As a secret organization, Huayang Society found it a little difficult to deal with Quan Xu after colliding with him, especially Chongzhen's iron-hearted belief in Quan Xu.They didn't have a better way, and later, when they were purchasing the artillery of the whole family army, they were put on the spot by Quan Xu, and Huayang Society began to set its sights on the Westerners.At first, their eyes fell on the Portuguese in Macao, after all, in the year of the Apocalypse, the Portuguese defended Macao and defeated the Dutch, which left a deep impression on the Ming Dynasty.But the problem is that the Portuguese have already taken the line of Xu Guangqi, the second assistant of the cabinet, and through his disciple Sun Yuanhua, they work in Liaodong, they can earn a lot of money, and their lives are quite nourishing.Huayang Society has lost one after another, and there has also been a round of power changes internally, especially the newly appointed sect master, which is a young Zhuang faction, and after careful analysis, he found Quan Xu's weaknesses.Quan Xu is an out-and-out nationalist, and once the Spaniards target the Chinese, then he will certainly not stand idly by.A very large game of chess slowly began to be arranged, and in Luzon, after provoking and fanning, sure enough, the Spaniards hated the wealth of the Chinese, and suffered from the lack of manpower, so they created the Manila Massacre.In fact, Quan Xu was indeed a trick, he could have set off a bloody storm in Kyushu, because of the conspiracy of the Huayang Society, Quan Xu and the main fleet of the whole family army went all the way south to attack Manila.As a result, the Spaniards were too unscrupulous, the former European hegemon, like the Ming Dynasty, the army was rotten and unbearable, and Luzon was easily taken down by Quan Xu, and like Taiwan, after taking it, he did not leave.Then the loss of Taiwan and Luzon, although the Spaniards still had some colonies in Sumatra, Malacca and Indonesia, the loss of Luzon was too fatal for the Spaniards.After the lobbyists of the Huayang Society, they went to lobby the Governor of Clarte, and the Governor of Clarte was moved, Spain really lacked manpower and could not send a large number of fleets and marine soldiers to the East, so Zheng Zhilong and Jianzhou Jurchens, who had a deep blood feud with the whole family army, were most in line with the interests of the Spaniards.Clarte knows Zheng Zhilong's strength very well, although he failed, he is still a strong man who is friendly to the West, it seems feasible!
