In front of the administrative centers of the four towns of Beigang, Chiayi, Tainan, and Kaohsiung, the people who read the announcement loudly read the good news: "Good news! Our Southeast Army and the unjust thief Xu Xinsu who robbed our Southeast Prefecture merchant ships fought off the coast of Xiamen. We defeated them and pursued the enemy.

The ship passed the Ludao Fortress, but the Ming army did not dare to fight. The military governor killed the unjust thief Xu Xinsu in front of Xiamen Port, which was very satisfying! Xu Xinsu's entire army was wiped out, and the Ming navy saw that our army left calmly!..."

"With the blessing of Mazu, our army sank more than fifty enemy ships and killed more than 3,000 enemy people. Our army killed less than ten people and injured less than a hundred people. There were no warships lost but no warships sunk."

"Great victory! Great victory!

Every place attracted many people to watch, and people were happy when they heard the good news.

Because many of their fathers, brothers and children are in the army, it is a good thing that the army wins the battle, which means that the family is safe.

The Southeast Army really took advantage of this battle. At first, they used cannons in long-range battles, and the range of the cannons was better than that of the enemy. They used guns in close combats, which were both long-, medium-, and near-range. The shotguns in particular were surprisingly easy to use.

The number of Yang Lu's troops was too small and he was unable to force the Southeast Prefecture Army to engage in hand-to-hand combat and was shot, causing the Southeast Prefecture Army to suffer minor losses.

After defeating the Dutch, they won another victory. The Southeast Military Government was greatly boosted, and both the army and the people were excited.

But their young warlord was unusually calm. He returned to Southeast Mansion and gave the troops only one day off. They held a celebration party and then a celebration banquet to reward the meritorious soldiers:

The foreigners who came to China to help in the war performed well, especially Siresma who made the greatest contribution by driving a ship in front of the flagship to resist the enemy's arson ship!

For his greatest contribution, he was awarded double gold medals: the Melee Assault Medal and the Combat Meritorious Medal (used to reward effective command).

In addition, Yan Donglai is excellent at shooting, and Yan Zhang is capable in fighting and has outstanding military exploits.

All of them were commended for their outstanding performance in battle and received rewards such as promotion of military rank, military medals and bonuses.

"This is our first battle, the first large-scale naval battle, and everyone performed well!" Yan Changwu said with satisfaction, and asked the staff to set up a "Military History Room": "The course of every battle and the performance of every hero must be recorded.

Come down and let our descendants see how difficult it was for our ancestors to conquer the country!"

This was said in public, and those who heard it felt very excited!

The most important thing is to hold a summary meeting!

The staff department records the battle history in detail, accumulates experience of victory, and at the same time checks for omissions and fills in the gaps: when we are upwind, our hit rate is high and we fight well; when we are downwind, our hit rate is low. At the same time, our ship maneuvering skills need to be improved, and we fight well in close combat.

, but it does not mean that we will fight well in the future. The battlefield situation in this battle is not serious enough. If there are more enemies, more attacking ships, more arson ships, and more enemies rushing to the ship, can we sustain it?

"Solve it in two ways!" Yan Changwu raised his finger and said: "One is to add more warships and manpower, which is a matter for this military governor, and the other is to strengthen your command capabilities and determination and will in close combat!"

Celebrations are a must, and military history and summary meetings are the treasures of the Southeast Military Mansion.

Since everyone's performance will be recorded in military history, everyone hopes that military history will last forever. At the same time, everyone will try their best to be recorded in military history with excellent performance, and will work hard to protect their own army in the future.

The summary will be very beneficial to improving everyone's combat effectiveness, and it is even more beneficial to new officers. Everyone knows what is good and what is not enough, so they can continue to work hard in the future to improve combat capabilities.

…

The water in the Beigang dry dock had not been drained yet. Yan Changwu couldn't wait to jump in and walked over. Senior officials followed suit.

After inspection, it was found that the bow of the Kaohsiung No. 1 was damaged, the bowmast was broken, and multiple places below it were broken and water was entering.

The Kaohsiung No. 5 was even more tragic. At that time, due to the threat of an arson ship, a gunpowder barrel had to be thrown down to blow up the arson ship. The power of the explosion was inspected and it was found that it had endangered the keel. There was damage on it, and a big hole was blown out on the waterline.

Offline, there are many cracks. It is really Mazu’s blessing that it can be driven back!

After a consultation with the staff organized by Chief Expert Barents, he pointed out: "Our ship is a new ship. It does not necessarily need to replace the entire keel. It can be used by tying metal rods around the keel for reinforcement. However, if there is a chance in the future, it will be docked and overhauled.

Replace the keel.”

"Very good, just do it!" Yan Changwu agreed.

In addition to being highly skilled, Barentsz was also good at judging situations and knew what Yan Changwu was thinking. He gave a series of instructions, and the two warships were crowded with people and the masters were busy.

Work in three shifts to repair the two warships as soon as possible.

…

Seeing that the work was getting underway, Yan Changwu stopped worrying. He calmed down, ordered the car to be prepared, returned to the Governor's Mansion in Tainan, and immediately held a military meeting.

Attendees included Chen Zhongen, Li Ying, Li De, Hong Sheng, Storm, and others. Yan Changwu arrived on time and did not waste any nonsense. He went straight to the point: "This battle was a majestic one, letting the world know that our Southeast Mansion is not to be messed with. Ming

Anyone who invades our Southeast Prefecture will be punished no matter how far away they are!"

"But it also exposed our strength. As far as I know, three days ago at Fuzhou Governor's Yamen, Zhu Yifeng and Yu Zigao made plans to prepare for the summer solstice (usually around June in the Gregorian calendar and May in the lunar calendar, now it is

In the second month of the lunar calendar), use troops against our Southeast Prefecture and seize four towns!"

Such important military information can be transmitted, which shows that the governor's office is leaking information everywhere!

The listener's heart was moved. This should be the information found by the legendary Southeast Intelligence Agency.

The Southeast Intelligence Bureau is controlled by Yan Changwu's concubine and is extremely low-key. Because it has no judicial power, officials do not feel a serious threat.

Fortunately, the Southeast Intelligence Bureau is here to help us!

"The Ming Dynasty is strong!" Yan Changwu said loudly and forcefully: "This is the biggest crisis we have ever encountered. Nothing can be justified. We can only kill it and eliminate the Ming Dynasty team, and our future will be bright!"

Everyone's hearts were up and down when they heard this. Ming Dynasty, our mother country, are we about to confront him?

Although the Southeast Prefecture is divided overseas, its relationship with the Ming Dynasty is inextricably linked, and it is impossible to separate the blood connection between them.

The population of Southeast Prefecture all come from the Ming Dynasty, and their ancestral home is the Ming Dynasty. Even though many people migrated to Taiwan, the names recorded in the genealogy show that their roots are still in the mainland.

Chen Zhongen handed over his hand and said solemnly: "May I ask the military governor, what kind of strategy will you have for the Ming Dynasty?"

The word strategy has been understood by the leadership. What strategy the top leadership adopts will determine the Southeast Prefecture's countermeasures.

This problem is unavoidable, and we will see the answer today. Everyone is looking at him intently.
