() On April 13, the fourth year of Chongzhen, the sky was clear and cloudless, and seagulls flew leisurely in the sky. From time to time, they would swoop down, pick up a large piece of food, and disappear into the vast distance. The governor-general Reyoz, appointed by the Dutch East India Company, said it happily.
Sipping a glass of wine, looking at the busy crowds in the city, I couldn't hide the joy in my heart. A smile appeared on my lips from time to time. I had been entangled with Mingguo for so long and finally established a firm foothold in this treasure island rich in products. Fortunately, I listened to that
On the advice of the Qing Dynasty's military commander, instead of going to Penghu to fight with the Ming Dynasty, they secretly deployed dozens of small boats to monitor the enemy. It was for this reason that the sneak attack launched by the pirate surnamed Zheng was successfully defeated last year.
, a few days ago another group of aboriginal people trying to move to Fujian were captured!
Zheng family pirates? Reyoz feels funny when he thinks of this word. How dare those stupid pigs who defected before the battle dare to attack my city of Relanja? Do they really think that the Luer Gate is an undefended place? With the wise Fan
Sir, please remind me that I have set up a fort group on each side of the bank. Not to mention the twenty-four-pound cannons equipped there, the new forts reinforced with reinforced concrete alone are enough to make any attacking enemy tremble! Reinforced concrete?
Yes, this new construction method that Master Fan used to exchange artillery can be passed back to the country, and the king can order it to be adopted in large quantities. In the future, no one will be able to compete with us for the colony! ..
Sigh... The Qing Dynasty, when it comes to this friendly country Reyoz, I am extremely disappointed. How can an empire with such a powerful army and equipped with the best firearms from the Netherlands disappear? Well,
Forget it if this country is gone. At most, we will sell less arms in the future! But why doesn’t that wise Master Fan escape? If such an outstanding talent comes to my motherland, he can get a baron at any cost! What’s even more troublesome is that,
The fleet sent to deliver arms to them has not returned yet. Could it be that those greedy businessmen went to negotiate business with the Ming Dynasty after seeing the fall of the Qing Dynasty?
"Gaote!" Forget it, the past is in the past. The most important thing now is to follow Master Fan's reminder and try not to provoke the Ming Kingdom. First, completely control this treasure island! As for the fleet. In fact,
It’s not bad to do business with the Ming Dynasty. After earning their money, we can arm ourselves and occupy their land!
"Mr. Governor, what are your orders?" To say that this guy is really worthy of his surname, he is indeed tall and tall, and although he speaks in a low voice, he has a loud voice.
"Have all those damn spies been recruited?"
"I've said it all!" Raising the bloody whip on his hand, Gott responded proudly: "These pigs are simply vulnerable. After a few whips, they told me everything! There are two hundred of them this time.
We took eleven ships and tried to go to Fujian..."
"Very good! It's really hard for you to ask so much important information without a general manager!" Since Mr. Fan reminded that a general manager named He Bin would betray them, Reyoz simply told them
All the spies who worked for him were killed. Anyway, those slaves only needed to do things, why bother talking nonsense to them. "In order to thank you for your loyalty and bravery, I decided to give you all the living spies! I think, you
The whip will teach them what it means to be obedient!"
However, what Reyoz did not expect was that the whip could take away the lives of the people of the Ming Dynasty, but it could not whip their strong backs! Sixty miles away from Luermen, a vengeful army was launching an attack formation.
, 20,000 soldiers armed to the teeth will bring death to the enemy.
"Bowery!" On a 47-foot-long experimental ship that was originally used to test ship types during this voyage, Zou Weilian stood in front of a detailed waterway map. He was not forced to be a guide because of a debt dispute.
What are the Han generals? General Zhenguo has a large number of authentic Dutch businessmen under him, including guys with military positions like Bowery. How could they not know what is in the place they have coveted for so long?
"Here!" The word was spoken in a smooth manner, and if no one could see it, everyone would think that the person who answered it was an authentic Ming Dynasty person!
"Tell us, what kind of junk have you piled up here?" Zou Weilian also chose the direction of attack at Luermen. The sentries in Penghu did not notice the Ming Dynasty's fleet. It was not because Zhu Youcong knew how to use invisibility, just because of his
The starting point is Xin'an Base in Guangdong, not Liaoluowan in Kinmen, Fujian. With such a fat man's money-hungry character, do you still expect him to waste coal and go around Penghu?
"Your Majesty! There are a total of twenty-one forts here, and the ones equipped with twenty-four-pound cannons are here..." In order to become an official subject of the Ming Dynasty earlier than Harlem, Bowery knew everything.
He quickly marked all the Dutch defense facilities at Luermen with a red pen, and finally pointed to an inconspicuous corner and said: "According to the news I got last year, a thirty-six-pound gun is going to be placed here."
Big gun!"
"You mean that all the forts here are made of reinforced concrete like our Xin'an base?" Zou Weilian now finally understood why General Zhenguo hated Fan Thief so much. He was really the guy who caused trouble for thousands of years. Fortunately, the Tatars didn't have time.
Use this method to reinforce Gaizhou, otherwise this commander will not know how many shells will be wasted!
"Yes, sir! Since the sixth year of the Great Tomorrow, we have taken hints from the Tatars, and all new buildings have used this new building material!" I feel like I have contributed everything I know. Although it is of no use, at least it is
Such sincerity! Bowery blinked his eyes, put on the cutest smile and said, "Sir, can we also participate in this battle?"
"You?" The ancestors said that people who are not from my race will have different minds. Zou Weilian is not worried about these guys turning against each other in the face of battle. He just can't figure out Bowery's true intention. "What are you doing to get involved?"
Bowery did not hesitate at all, and said with righteous indignation: "Those demons who deserve to go to hell actually harmed our people of the Ming Dynasty like this. Of course we have the right to avenge our compatriots, please give us this opportunity!"
This guy is really good at taking advantage of every opportunity, and he even avenges his compatriots. Your compatriots are on the opposite side! It is very clear that they are going to collect the certificate of surrender. So early in the day, change the Ming Dynasty supernumerary citizen certificate to the same red as Jacob Luo.
Originally, Zou Weilian was too embarrassed to block anyone's future, so he had no choice but to say: "In this case, you first inform that Shivela to transfer to our ship, and then prepare to set off with the army!"
"Thank you! Thank you, sir! Don't worry, we will work hard to kill the enemy and live up to the love of the general and you!" Bowery, who finally got the chance to be loyal, was so happy that he could hardly close his mouth and almost bumped into his head when he went out.
On the bulkhead!
"Damn, these Western barbarians!" Seeing Bowery's embarrassment, Zou Weilian smiled bitterly and shook his head. Although Fan Thief was a scourge, some of his methods were indeed very reliable. If the General hadn't adopted his suicide note
According to the strategy above, these guys were given different books to prove their identities. It was really impossible for them to work so hard! Looking back at the red dots on the picture, Zou Weilian also felt a headache. These Dutch barbarians were too inconvenient.
I'm sorry, building some forts takes up such a big area, why can't they be piled up and let Commander-in-Chief blast them both at once?
"Oh! God! My God!" Ever since he left the David, Shivera kept crossing himself on his chest. After boarding the ship as the flagship, he called the Lord more frequently, and also
No matter whether the busy God will lose his temper and kick this noisy fly to hell. "This...is this the general's battleship?"
"No! No! Dear Mr. Shivera, this is just the general's experimental ship. It is a product that has not yet been completed!" Jacob Luo did not lie. Although this ship is quite big and has a lot of things, but the nine
The main gun in front of the door still uses a three-and-a-half-inch cannon, and there are only eighteen rocket launchers.
"Mr. Schweira, in your opinion, how can we destroy these forts?" Pointing to the map on the wall, Zou Weilian had no intention of hiding anything. The generals have already said that they must use coercion and inducement to deal with these Westerners. Now there are so many
With a large amount of debt on hand and such a big sesame seed cake hanging on the table, this Shivera has already stepped half of his foot into the trap. All he needs to do is let him experience the power of the Ming Dynasty's navy.
"My wise lord, it is absolutely impossible for such a strong fortress to be destroyed. If it were me, I would choose to give up or block it!" Shivella was not blindly conceited, although he was also shocked by the hugeness of the battleship under his feet.
But as far as the nine main guns he has seen so far, it is simply impossible to think of using such a small piece of iron to smash the reinforced concrete fortifications.
"Master Zou..." Following that beautiful voice, a cute little fairy appeared sneakily at the door, attracting everyone's attention.
"Little...little madam?" All wives of generals in Zhenguo have equal status. The reason why they are called so is just because of their age. "You are here to discuss naval battles with me again?"
"Well, well! Please give me some advice, Mr. Zou!" Ningmeng nodded fiercely, because in her little heart, Zhu Youcong will always be the most important. Since her brother Cong has said the important thing about the future of Ming Dynasty,
The enemy will be at sea. Then of course she must use her innate advantages to learn more knowledge, so that she can help her husband with advice like her sister in the future, so that he will not keep putting her as a vase at home!
"General..." Of course the general's wife had to teach her if she wanted to learn from him. Zou Weilian was still worried that if he offended that fat man who strongly opposed women participating in the war, he couldn't imagine the consequences!
"Don't worry, I just watched it secretly. Brother Cong was sleeping soundly and wouldn't notice..."
"The general is asleep?" Zou Weilian was very excited after the news was confirmed. He was worried about how to scare Shivella. It is indeed troublesome to use the main gun to bomb other people's forts one by one, but if it is a covering fire, then it will be
Much simpler! The most important thing is that the bad old man Sun Yuanhua added something new to make up for the lack of lethality of the rocket to dense crowds after the explosion. It is said that the white porcelain jar in the warhead contains two kilograms of newly developed rockets and even gold.
Aqua regia that can be melted!
"I'm sorry, Mr. Shivera! The word "give up" does not exist in my dictionary of the Ming Dynasty Navy. As for the containment you mentioned, it is also a good way! But..." I decided to take advantage of the little monster while he was still there.
Let's make a big noise first before he goes to bed in a daze, so that he won't have a chance later if he gets used to being dizzy. "If you don't mind blowing some sea breeze, I can invite you to see what you think is impossible."
How did the destroyed rags disappear!"
"Dangdangdangdang..."
The battle bell rang, and Shivera looked curiously at the busy soldiers under the bridge. What were they doing? Did they want to warn the enemy? We were now at least fifteen nautical miles away from the attack target.
The main gun on the gun jacket showed no sign of firing, but it happened to set up more than a dozen large fireworks.
"Wise Sir..." Shivera, who was well versed in naval warfare, wanted to tell Zou Weilian that the fleet was about to enter the enemy's range. A gentleman's war would not work. A surprise attack must be launched as soon as possible!
"Ranging!"
"Whoosh!" Following Zou Weilian's order, a rocket cut through the calm sea and rushed towards Luermen!
The Dutch who were defending "Boom" also discovered something unusual here. Although they didn't know what those ships with black smoke were, the Governor-General ordered that any ship that wants to enter Taiwan Water from here is an enemy!
"Damn it, is this a sign of disgrace to us?" Seeing the waves on the sea ahead, Zou Weilian asked loudly into the microphone: "How much?"
"Thirty-five miles!"
"Command all ships, don't save us money, let's fire together!" Seeing the busy figures on the local fort through the telescope, Zou Weilian nodded with satisfaction. If someone drinks more than 30 kilograms of seawater, they will get upset at most, but
If it were more than thirty kilograms of aqua regia, who would know how happy it would be if it were sprinkled on someone! "This ship will use the new rocket attack in the first round!"
"Devil! This is not a battleship! This is a demon! Only demons can have such destructive power!" The telescope he carried was thrown aside, and Shivella, who had experienced many battles, couldn't help but howl. What he saw just now
Nothing should exist in this world. Being able to hit an enemy fort within ten nautical miles was scary enough. The power of those large fireworks exploding was unimaginable. But he saw with his own eyes a twenty-four-pound cannon.
Flying into the sky like pieces of paper! What made him even more horrified was that the Dutch soldiers who had escaped the shelling and were still running were frantically grabbing at themselves and jumping into the sea or crashing into the buildings around them. Wasn't this a hit?
What else could the devil's curse be? (To be continued.)
