The southeast of Hangzhou Bay, the sea surface. The sails are like clouds, and the Spanish Expeditionary fleet has reached the coast of Zhejiang.
Drapena, commander of the Spanish Expedition, the head of the head, the head of the head, the bilateral military cap, wearing a red -collar tight -colored tight -colored tight -fitting military uniform with a red -colored two -row copper buckle
, White tight horse pants, black high leather boots. Wearing feathers decorated on the shoulder chapter, slanted a dark blue wide -width ribbon, waist tincture with a military knife and a short wheat, and wearing white gloves with both hands, it seemed very gorgeous.
At this time, he was standing on the towering ship of the flagship stern on the front of the flagship, with a high rush, looking at his huge fleet, and he didn't feel a feeling of being invincible at the sea in his heart, as if no matter how powerful the opponent opponents were
Now this dream will be done by himself. Thinking of this, Drapena is also full of pride.
Batlo*Drapena is 53 years old. He is born in a soldier family. He has been in the military leader of more than 30 years.
In 1634, the Battle of Nadlinsen established a lot of merits for the Habsburg dynasties of Spain in these two battles, and when he was young, he had a short service experience in Manila, so he was appointed as this
Before the expedition, the head of the expedition to the Fleet, and before the first expedition, was given the title of the Count Philip IV to the county. He also promoted his rank as a lieutenant general.
This Spanish fleet has a total of sixty -three warships, of which more than 1,000 tons of large ships have two ships, eight warships of more than 700 tons, and 37 warships of 500 to 600 tons.
The rest are more than 500 tons of warships. The total tonnage is 31,88 tons.
The staff of the army reached 12,000, of which the number of soldiers was more than 7,500, the Spanish soldiers were about 5,000, and more than 800 foreign mercenaries, the rest were India, Manila, 3,000 sailors, 3,000 sailors, 3,000 sailors, and 3,000 sailors.
More than 500 people, more than 1,500 people in Spain, and other servants, slaves, doctors, pastors, prostitutes.
In terms of weapons, the entire fleet has a total of more than 240 copper guns, more than 480 iron cannons, more than 1,500 shot guns, and more than 4,000 rogue guns. In addition, there are 300 war horses and horses.
After more, there are more than three hundred donkeys.
Drapena's flagship "Galaxy Battleship" is a new type of battleship with less than ten years of launch. The total weight is 1,237 tons, 67 meters long, 50 meters long, width, width, width, width, width
Twelve meters, 20 meters high, 6.3 meters of water. There are a total of five masts and eleven sails, which are divided into three layers of decks. A total of ninety artillery is assembled. Among the warships in European countries, the combat effectiveness is not weak at all.
In the British "Maritime Monarch". I participated in the Downsi War with the Netherlands in 1639, and this is also the last batch of super large ships in the Spanish sailing boat.
Because of the decline in the Spanish national strength in recent years, the state treasury is empty, and it has rarely built large ships of more than a thousand tons.
Main force.
Although the scale of this fleet was only one -third of the invincible fleet that year, at this time, the Chinese maritime was indeed a invincible fleet.
It is also unclear such a huge fleet. Therefore, it is not completely unreasonable that Johlaper's self -confidence is not completely unreasonable.
When Drapena was immersed in her beautiful illusions in the future, a footsteps from the stairs pulled him back to reality.
On the boat, a tall young female officer, a combined military uniform with a red and black border, wears a beautiful curve of the ups and downs.
Under the hat, a few golden hair on the forehead, a pair of ice -blue pupil eyes, shining with a smart and capable look. She came in front of Lapena and performed a standard military ceremony: Earl.
Pull you to you. "
Drapener also smiled on his face: "Captain Aris Sandra, you are finally here."
Although Yalisan's age is less than half of the age of La Lapena, her identity is not ordinary. The traditional noble home from Spain, she joined the Royal Guard at the age of sixteen.
, And became one of the military officers in the Manila Army, in Manila for three years, and now he was promoted to the captain at the age of 22. He is also the deputy commander of this Spanish expeditionary army.
Drapena departed from Spain from the beginning of this year. At that time, there were only 43 warships in the fleet. After more than eight months of sailing, they arrived in Manila. Because of the wind and rain on the road, nine warships were lost, 300
A number of soldiers. After almost two months in Manila, the rest of the warships were collected in Manila, and eighteen of them were all warships under the direct conductor of Yalisang.
The ship "Maritime Rose" is also another more than a thousand tons of warships in the entire expeditionary army. It is second only to the "Galaxy Battleship".
Rapena.
Therefore, although La Lapena is unwilling, she must also give three points to Aris Sandra.
This time expedition to China, because Aris Sandra has been in Manila for a long time and has some understanding of the situation in China. Therefore, as a pioneer fleet, he first went to Ding Island to land. I hope to use this as an attack on mainland China.
The stronghold. And La La Puna led the brigade fleet, first arrived in Taiwan, waited for the result of Aris Sandra, and then acted.
At 1643, the Spaniards and the Dutch occupied Taiwan, the Dutch occupied the southern part of Taiwan, and the Penghu Islands, and the Spaniards occupied the Keelung area in northern Taiwan. Therefore
After the notice of Lisan Lara, he rushed to the coast of Zhejiang.
After the two commanders of the expeditionary fleet met each other, Yali Sang said: "Earl, please, please go ashore on Ding Island, we have tied the camp on the island."
"No!" Drepener shook his head, saying: "Captain, we are not landing on this island, but log in directly on the physiological mainland land and establish a settlement."
"Physician" is the title of Spain to Manila Chinese. The word is actually directly translated by "businessmen", because Chinese who do business in Manila usually call themselves "businessmen".
The collective name of man. It is like in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. All European people are called Franlays.
Yali Sang was stunned and puzzled, and said: "Why is this? Earl, did we plan for a long time before we set off?
Then gradually expand to the land. Ding Island is the largest island in the sea in this area. It is a good place to build a settlement. What causes you to suddenly change your mind? "
Drapena said: "Ms. Aris Sandra, don't you know the truth of random response? I know from some businessmen from Taiwan that in Zhejiang, China, a rebellion is undergoing a rebellion.
A good opportunity, so I don't think we need to waste time on the island. Instead, we should log in directly on the land, establish a settlement point, and then expand to the inland. "
Yalisandra "hummed", and said: "Earl, what happened in Zhejiang, I also knew on the Ding Island. If we can start a month in advance, perhaps as you said, as you said, as you said
It is a good opportunity. Unfortunately, this rebellion is flattened by the troops of the physiologist, and we have lost this opportunity. "
Drapena laughed twice, and said, "Captain, I admit that your news is very spiritual, but you think about it, even if the rebellion is calmed down, the physiologist must go through a period of weakening the defense edge. For us, come to us.
Said, I still have to try it straight. And there are too many islands in the waters of this area, and the number of reefs must be a lot. Large ships like us are easy to touch the reefs in this sea area. Therefore, I think I think
Establishing a settlement on the island is not a good choice. "
Yalisang said: "I admit that the island you are talking about makes sense, but it is too risky to land on the land.
The army encountered and fighting. Isn't it very bad for us? "
"Hahahaha!" Drapena listened and made a laugh: "Ms. Aris Sandra, I think you are a bit too much, or you are too cautious. Even if you meet it
What can the physiological army be? The physiological person is a timid and weak nation, and they are still in the barbaric stone era. Their warships are simply vulnerable. Their army still uses spears and and
Short swords as weapons, do you think they can resist our fire and muskets? "
"But Earl." Yali Sangla continued to fight: "You must know that the country’s country is larger than the entire European continent, and the number of physiologists is more than all countries in Europe. This is a one.
Powerful opponents, if you look down too much, you will be punished by the battlefield. "
Drapena said: "So what, we have not conquered the same vast non -state, conquered the mainland of the United States, and conquered the native residents there, then this time there would be no exception.
It is to establish our colonies in the physiologist's country, use the wealth of the physiological person, embellish the glory of the royal family, and let the glory of the Habsburg dynasty shine on the land of the East. "He waved his hand hard, and said:"
Use a gun to speak, and use a sword to point to draw the map. "
Aris Sandra couldn't help but make a bitter smile, because she found out that she couldn't talk to Drapena at all.
