The warships of the Ming Navy were lined up in a row, and all the naval officers and soldiers were quietly waiting.
There was only one person sitting blankly at the stern of the boat.
His name is Ding Yunyi.
Ding Yunyi never thought that he would actually travel through time because of a grenade, and also travel to the Ming Dynasty, and be in the body of a "Ding Yunyi" who actually had the exact same name and appearance as himself.
Damn it, really damn it! Ding Yunyi never dreamed that such a thing would happen to him.
Fortunately, the background of this "Ding Yunyi" is still very good. His father...well, now he is his father - Ding Yuanzhao! He is the general manager of military affairs in Fujian, and is better than the governor of Fujian and the admiral.
Zou Weilian, who is in military affairs, is so low down that he can still be considered a local official.
Governors, admirals, and military affairs officers also developed slowly over time. Ding Yunyi remembers clearly that when the Ming Dynasty was first established, the first governor was in the second year of Yongle. Zhu Di, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, appointed a supervisor.
The seventh-rank official was "given to Shizhong" Lei Tian, "Governor of Guangxi". The so-called governor was only a temporary job for central officials at that time, not a fixed official position, and it did not become a de facto province like the Qing Dynasty.
The highest ranking officer.
After the reign of Emperor Xuanzong and Xuande of the Ming Dynasty, the number of governors gradually increased. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, almost every province had one, but the jurisdictions ranged from large to small, which did not coincide with the jurisdiction of the chief envoy. Moreover, their duties were more military-focused.
Often the words "Admiral in charge of military affairs" or "Admiral in charge of military affairs" are added to the official title.
My father is now a standard military commander!
The bad news is that there will be a war as soon as you arrive!
Let’s fight the Dutch!
This was the sixth year of Chongzhen reign in the Ming Dynasty.
In July of this year, the Dutch Governor of Taiwan, Putmans, led 13 Dutch warships and launched a surprise attack on the coast of the Ming Dynasty. The Dutch proposed that China immediately stop trade with Spain, Portugal and other countries.
They could only trade with the Dutch alone, otherwise the war would continue. This unreasonable request was rejected by the Ming Dynasty.
On September 22 of the same year, Fujian Governor Zou Weilian received an imperial edict, and Emperor Chongzhen ordered He to be severely punished. On October 12, after discussion with Ding Yuanzhao, Zou Weilian decided to take Zheng Zhilong as the vanguard, Gao Yingyue as the left wing, and Zhang Yongchan as the right wing.
, Wang Shangzhong was a guerrilla, preparing to fight.
While the Ming side was actively preparing for war, the Dutch did not dare to neglect. They recruited the great pirate Liu Xiang as reinforcements. Liu Xiang brought more than fifty warships.
And Ding Yunyi is a member of the Ming Navy.
Ding Yunyi suspected that his predecessor had a bad relationship with his father, Ding Yuanzhao. I was a powerful provincial commander in charge of military affairs, but his son was just an ordinary soldier on the ship. And with the war imminent, he actually put his son on the ship of the pioneer Zheng Zhilong!
Could it be that he wanted to throw his son to death on the battlefield?
Where does this happen?
"Let's go, let's go!" Xiao Yifeng, the captain of the ship, called out all the brothers one by one.
Ding Yunyi didn't take his immediate boss too seriously. The chief was just a low-ranking official, but after two days of contact, Xiao Yifeng was serious about his work and treated the chief as a governor.
The naval battle is about to begin.
On October 22, the sixth year of Chongzhen, after receiving reliable information, the main force of the Ming army, 150 warships, quietly sailed to the mouth of Liaoluo Bay in the south of Kinmen Island, where the entire main force of the Dutch Liuxiang Combined Fleet was moored.
The navy of the Ming Dynasty was quite powerful. The government once ordered the coastal guards in Fujian, Jiangsu and Zhejiang to build ships to fight against the Japanese, which enabled the navy to achieve great development. The navy's weapons and equipment were not only well-made cold weapons such as swords, bows and arrows, and crossbows.
, firearms have accounted for a large proportion, and copper blunderbuss, iron blunderbuss, mines, and various types of artillery have begun to be equipped with troops.
When it was discovered that the Ming army was incoming, the Dutch and Liu fleets deployed a defensive formation with a Dutch warship in the center and pirate ships scattered to support them. The Ming army fleet deployed at the southeast corner of Liaoluo Bay, with Zheng Zhilong's troops as the vanguard, and took the east wind.
Two-pronged assault tactics.
According to the pre-arrangement, all the main forces of the Ming army went straight to the Dutch fleet, and only auxiliary forces were used to deal with the pirate ships. At the same time, they adopted sea-of-fire tactics that had never been seen on the European battlefield.
Among the one hundred and fifty warships of the Ming army, only fifty were gunboats, and the remaining one hundred small boats were all fireships. Following an order, under the cover of the big ship's artillery, a hundred fireships swarmed up and set fire to the hook.
.
After a commotion, of all the large Dutch warships participating in the battle, two were caught and burned by fireships as soon as the battle began, and the other two were sunk in the artillery battle!
The sea is ablaze with flames, it’s really spectacular!
At this time, on the warship that Ding Yunyi was on, following the command of the commander, he fiercely rushed towards a Dutch warship that was still on fire!
After the two ships connected, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Navy rushed towards the Dutch warship.
Amidst the chaos of "ding, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang", hand-to-hand combat begins!
A bearded Dutch officer was very brave. He stabbed two Ming sailors one after another with the sword in his hand. He kept shouting "Hehe" in his mouth, and he couldn't understand what he was saying. He seemed to be showing off.
Xiao Yifeng rushed forward, but kept retreating under the fierce attack of the bearded man. Without any news, he was stabbed in the ribs. Fortunately, he escaped in time and was not seriously injured.
Dutch Beard thrust his sword at Xiao Yifeng again, and just as he was about to hit him, there was a "dang" sound from the side, and someone held his sword.
Xiao Yifeng, who had narrowly escaped death, saw that it was Ding Yunyi!
Ding Yunyi didn't mean to save anyone, he just saw the ferocious bearded Dutchman and was dissatisfied with the rampant foreigners, so he took action in time!
Ding Yunyi has fought countless fights. In his opinion, there is not much difference between this and fighting.
The swords crossed, and the two went back and forth for several rounds. Ding Yunyi had rich experience in fighting, and had been carefully trained by his third brother. He found that although Big Beard's attack was fierce, his lower body was not fierce. He spotted the loophole and deflected Big Beard's thrust.
A sword strike, and then a kick suddenly flew up, hitting the fatal spot in the bearded man's crotch.
The bearded man screamed and fell to the ground, rolling in pain. He was still shouting something, as if he was accusing Ding Yunyi of not following the rules of fighting.
Ding Yunyi didn't talk nonsense with him. He stepped forward and killed the bearded man with a knife.
Xiao Yifeng was stunned as he watched from the side.
Most of the sailors on this ship were fighting for the first time, but who would have thought that Ding Yunyi, a man who usually seemed gentle and quiet, could be so powerful in a fight, and his attacks were so vicious!
Two Dutch soldiers rushed up shouting "Wow!"
When they were almost in front of them, Ding Yunyi fell to the ground, and then swung his knife out. Amidst the screams, a Dutch soldier's left foot was chopped off.
Another Dutch soldier saw such a tragic scene happening in front of him. He was frightened and turned around and ran away.
Ding Yunyi tried his best to fly out the knife in his hand, hitting the Dutch soldier in the back. The Dutch soldier took a few steps forward and fell down.
Ding Yunyi then stood up, walked over and pulled out his knife from the Dutch soldier's body.
In just a few moments of fighting, Ding Yunyi had killed two enemies and seriously injured one. Not only Xiao Yifeng, but also all the Ming Dynasty sailors who boarded the ship were stunned.
Is this person Ding Yunyi? Is this person really the Ding Yunyi they recognize?
From the beginning of the battle on board the ship, he was like a devil, killing people without mercy. When facing the Dutch, he was chopping melons and vegetables.
Ding Yunyi sneered. He had already died once, so killing so many Dutch people was just like playing for fun?
