On June 15th, on the sea of Hangzhou Bay, hundreds of warships stopped, but the two major camps were obviously divided, and the flags of the word "business" and the word "Zheng" floated, respectively.
Zheng Zhilong's boat "Shenglong" is a three -mast ship with 1,500 materials. There are a total of thirty -six artillery, but it is still a blessing boat -like shape. In the fleet, there are eleven ships, which are lined up on the sea, which is quite powerful.
In contrast, the number of large ships of the merchant army is much less. Those who can compete with them are only the second -class battleship galaxy, six cruisers, and the eight whale whale just served. Said that the two ships of Galaxy and Giant Whale are obviously one of the chicken groups, which is one larger than all vessels of the Zheng Zhilong fleet. It is the side side of the galaxy. After the ship's side and Guishan Island naval battle, the traces left have not been repaired complete, but in the eyes of experienced people, this is a long -standing battlefield, indicating that this giant ship is not just scary.
From the perspective of the ship type, Zheng Zhilong's fleet is a colorful Chinese -style blessing boat style, but the fleet of the merchant army is a combination of Chinese and Western, each accounts for half. Between the fleet, there are six flying boats, which are each. Between the boats and traveling back and forth, flexible, just like swimming fish.
At this time, Zheng Zhilong was sitting on the bow and staring at the fleet on the opposite side, and still calmly. The brother Zheng Hongzheng on his left couldn't help but said: "Good guy, so many dry sailing boats, it seems that Shang Yi did not say false words. He really took the dried sacrifice ships. "
Zheng Zhibao Road: "There is nothing to do with the sacrifice of the sacrifice, but the ships on the road just now will have such a fast speed, and even the Red Yimao people will be rushed. I have never seen it. Passing this kind of boat. "
Zheng Hongyi also said: "Yeah, the fast boat, fortunately it is a boat. If the big ship has such a speed, it is terrible."
At this time, Zheng Zhilong's ministry came over, and said: "Adult, the boat was anchored by the next, we got off the ship."
Zheng Zhilong nodded, and said, "Okay, Hong Yan, Ming Yan, you stay on the boat, others are on the shore with me."
At this time, Shang Yi had set up the trestle bridge by the beach, so even if it was a large ship such as the "Shenglong", he could stop directly. At this time, Shang Yi was waiting for the trestle.
As early as the Spanish Expeditionary Force arrived in China last year, Zheng Zhilong received the news. Of course, he was very nervous. Although there were only more than sixty ships of the Spanish expeditionary army, Zheng Zhilongjiu dealt with the Europeans and knew that the Western warship operation was operated. Flexible, fast speed, large number of artillery, a warship can often reach several Ming Dynasty warships. And the soldiers' training is strict, the discipline is strict, and it is really enemy. This time, the attacking China is indeed good.
Therefore, Zheng Zhilong is also unreasonable. According to his estimates, at least 300 warships must be concentrated to fight against this Spanish expedition fleet, and at least all of them are all large ships. Although Zheng Zhilong's warship is known as In fact, most of them are merchant ships. At most two guns, they have become warships. If they want to make up 300 warships, it is not a short time. So they also ordered the ship immediately.
As a result, before Zheng Zhilong made up the battleship, he heard the news again. The Spanish Expeditionary Army was defeated by the Ming Army of Zhejiang. At this time, Zheng Zhilong was also surprised, and he was somewhat doubtful.
Different, I know much about the overseas world. How can it be the Ming Army of Zhejiang? How could it defeat the Spanish Expeditionary Force? Therefore, he sent someone to the Zhejiang to find out.
The news that Shang Yi defeated the Spanish Expeditionary Army did not cause any sensation in the Ming Dynasty, but it was still quite influential in Zhejiang. Therefore, Zheng Zhilong soon inquired about the entire process of the merchant army defeating the Spanish expeditionary army. Although there are many exaggerated words, it is
There are also five or six points. Although Zheng Zhilong felt a bit difficult to understand, the facts were in front of him, and he couldn't help but not believe it. At the same time, he noticed Shang Yi.
Of course, at this time, Shang Yi had just started the navy and had not yet expanded overseas. He defeated the Spanish Expeditionary Force and was also a land war. Therefore, Zheng Zhilong did not have a vigilance to him.
But after the Chinese New Year, Shang Yi entered Taiwan, driven Spain, and reached a co -stationed in Taiwan with the Dutch, as well as trade agreements, and so on.
It also sent people to focus on the situation of Shang Yi, not only to understand a series of records of Shang Yi's past, Jijia has stabilized Zhejiang, but also entered Suzhou's silk industry, but also knows that Shang Yi now has not only a large scale, but also a large scale.
The Navy also established a shipyard in Hangzhou. The intention of expanding overseas was very obvious. Zheng Zhilong felt the threat of Shang Yi.
According to Zheng Hongyi's plan, he should immediately send troops, attack Taiwan, capture Keelung over, and teach Shang Yi fiercely, and let him know that the Zheng family said on the sea.
few.
However, Zheng Zhilong has a deeper consideration than others. He knows that Shang Yi is different from his previous enemies. In the past, whether it was Liu Xiang or Li Kuiqi, it was a pirate identity.
It has also become a court official, which can not only get a foothold along the coast, but also get the strong support of the Ming Dynasty in the human and material resources when used.
The same is true of the Dutch fighting. At this point, Zheng Zhilong is obviously much higher than Liu Xiang, Li Kuiqi and others.
Because Shang Yi is also an official of the court, the official position is higher than Zheng Zhilong. There seems to be a lot of backing in the North Korea. At the same time, Shang Yi is also the Zhejiang chief soldier.
Yixian friendship has a great influence on Zheng Zhilong's business. From the perspective of Shang Yi's past record, it is obviously different from that of the general army. I am afraid that these records are only half true.
Grasp. Therefore, using the past to deal with Liu Xiang, Li Kuiqi and others to deal with Shang Yi with force, it is obviously incapable.
At this moment, a series of news such as Beijing lost, Chongzhen's collapse, and the establishment of the Nanjing court have also passed on to Quanzhou. At this turbulent moment, Zheng Zhilong also had to focus on the Nanjing court, so he could only give up right right.
After Shang Yi's attention. After Zhu Yousong ascended the throne, Feng Zhengzhong was the Annan Bo, Zheng Hongyi was Jingruber, and was stationed in Zhenjiang. According to the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Zhilong should personally go to Nanjing to meet the new emperor Xie En.
However, after being passed down to Quanzhou, Zheng Zhilong also knew that Shang Yi had now been sealed by the Nanjing court as Linyi, and was appointed as the governor of Zhejiang.
So I planned to take advantage of the opportunity to enter Nanjing this time, took the opportunity to pass by Zhejiang, see Shang Yi, see what kind of person he was, and then decided to deal with him.
Yesterday, Zheng Zhibao returned from Hangzhou to Zheng Zhilong's fleet, and also reported his hearing what he saw in Hangzhou. Although Zheng Zhilong was not available at the time, he was really surprised. Now on the Hangzhou Sea, he saw the merchant army navy.
In this battle, Zheng Zhilong also knew that the strength of Shang Yi's navy was definitely not weak. Although it had not yet surpassed himself, it was not the difference. Therefore, he secretly calculated in his heart, how to negotiate with Shang Yi.
Zheng Zhilong was surrounded by his subordinates. After the boat came down, he stepped on the trestle. At this time, Shang Yi was greeted. Seeing that Zheng Zhilong was 40 years old, he had a long eyebrow, his appearance was quite san, his hands hugged his fists, and he applied his hands to apply a ritual road.
: "President Zheng, for a long time to raise the name."
Both of them are generals, but the title Zheng Zhilong is one level lower than Shang Yi, and Shang Yi is still governor. Therefore, Zheng Zhilong is lower than Shang Yi in etiquette. Although Zheng Zhilong did not look at the official position, he saw Shang Shang.
The strength of the sea showed him did not dare to look at him, and seeing Shang Yi was only a age of twenty -five, and he was even more amazing. He also hurriedly returned to courtesy.
Shang Yi laughed: "Mr. Zheng came to Zhejiang today, and he was so powerful that he came to ask me for guilty?"
Zheng Zhilong stunned for a moment, but he was also used to the scene, and immediately said: "The Merchant soldiers laughed. This time, Zhilong entered the Beijing face and thanked the grace. Only because there were many thieves on the sea, he brought a few more boats.
Come, how dare you ask the business chief. "
Shang Yi said: "Who doesn't know that the thieves on the sea have been wiped out by President Zheng's soldiers. Now, there is a peace and sound, but there is a thief?"
Zheng Zhilong pointed out the warship of the merchant army, and said faintly: "The business generals have said that if the chief soldier has been so powerful, then you can use it to be afraid of what the thief, and I can go to sea with peace of mind.
Make the teacher and move the masses. "
Shang Yi couldn't help laughing: "President Zheng, please forgive me, who doesn't know that this sea is the sea of Her Majesty, whether it is Zhongyi commercial ships, if the Zheng's flag is not allowed, let alone go to the sea.
When I first arrived in Zhejiang, I came in from it, but I came in from it. No one would come to the teacher to ask for the sin. I just changed it, and I would not stop.
Zheng Zhilong did not expect that Shang Yi would be so direct. Although he was used to various scenes, he didn't know how to answer Shang Yi for a while, so he had to laugh twice. "The general soldiers would make a joke."
Shang Yi couldn't help smiling, and did not continue to say, said: "Mr. Zheng, I arranged a banquet in Hangzhou City, and asked President Zheng to narrate." He said that he reached out to make a request gesture.
Zheng Zhilong also made a gesture, saying: "So, I will ask the general soldier."
