"Back to Vice Town, the four-nation combined fleet has arrived in Taiwan!"
"Okay, got it." Ding Yunyi stood up, and Lu Xue and Lu Hui beside him hurriedly helped him put on his equipment.
Ding Yunyi looked at Qian Junyan lying on the long desk, then took off the Xiuchun knife and handed it to Han Xiaoxiao: "This knife will stay at home from now on, do you understand what I mean?
"
"I understand." Han Xiaoxiao nodded silently.
Ding Yunyi glanced at his wives, Lu Xue, Lu Hui and other maids, and laughed and said: "Why are you so tense? Wait until your master comes back victorious, and then I will fight you three on the mahjong table."
A hundred rounds!”
Those women wanted to laugh, but who could laugh? Everyone knew how dangerous this battle was.
"Husband..." Deng Lianyu, who came to see Ding Yunyi off, took off a jade plaque from his neck: "Lianyu cannot go into battle with my husband to kill the enemy. This jade plaque was handed down from my Deng family ancestors.
, it can ward off evil spirits, please bring it with you, husband, so that you can turn bad luck into good luck and return home in triumph as soon as possible."
Then, Deng Lianyu hung the jade plaque around her husband's neck.
Ding Yunyi smiled at her and suddenly said loudly: "Women, your men have gone to battle to kill the enemy!"
After saying this, he turned around and left without looking back... As soon as he left the official residence, he saw the darkness outside filled with people, which shocked Ding Yunyi.
There were local Taiwanese people and those who had fled to Taiwan from various places. When they saw Ding Yunyi coming out, those people said in unison: "I'll wait for you to support your Majesty!"
"Okay!" Ding Yunyi raised his voice.
"Sir, can we win this time?"
Ding Yunyi glanced at the place where the voice came from: "I don't want to hide it from you. This time the Taixi people came in large numbers, gathering the power of the four countries, and they came with a fierce force. Our Tiger Guards were obviously at a disadvantage. But... He was silent for a moment and said: "But
, I learned that my daughter-in-law Han Xiaoxiao is already pregnant. I am here, my wife is here, and my family is here. When my son is born, he will be here too. I am about to be a father.
As a husband and as a father, I have to fulfill my responsibilities to prevent Taiwan from falling into the hands of the enemy. I promise you that as long as there is one person in our Tiger Guard, we will never let the enemy come in! From the sea!
, we will fight bloody battles with the enemy, fighting to the last ship. If we lose the battle at sea, we will retreat to Golden Eagle City. If Golden Eagle City is lost, we will fight with them in the streets. In a word, we will never admit defeat and never surrender.
, swear to defend Taiwan to the death!”
"We will never admit defeat, we will never surrender, we will defend Taiwan to the death!"
That is the voice of Taiwanese people...
Their home is here, and they will never give in when facing foreign enemies!
The people of Taiwan are ready, and the soldiers of the Tiger Guard are equally ready!
"I'll wait to see the deputy town!"
"Okay, you're welcome." Ding Yunyi walked to the chart in a few steps, and the first question he asked was: "Has the voyage fleet set off?"
"We set off. We set off yesterday. Chen Dong was still a little worried and said he wanted to stay and fight with us. But I told him that this was the deputy town's intention and that he should not care about what happened in Taiwan."
Ding Yunyi nodded: "The reason why I didn't see them off yesterday was because they were worried and wanted to stay in Taiwan and fight the enemy with us. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. When will the combined fleet arrive?"
"Tomorrow!" Cai Jiuzhou came to the chart: "According to our intelligence, the Red Fleet of the United Fleet is in the middle, flanked by the Franco Fleet and the Spanish Fleet, and assisted by the British Fleet. There are eighty-two ships of various types."
"Where is my Huben Guard Navy?"
"Our navy has assembled 153 warships of various types, but among them there are only 51 gunboats, and the remaining 102 are all small boats."
"Oh, we already have so many gunboats?" Ding Yunyi was very excited.
"There are also large and small gunboats, and some of them are refitted old ships."
"That's quite a lot." Ding Yunyi said with a relaxed expression: "What about the pirate alliance?"
"I just received news from Li Guo. Except for a tree and a puff of smoke, all the ships of the Pirate Alliance are converging on Taiwan. It is expected that most of the ships will be able to arrive when it starts. However, this is a naval battle, and those pirates are plundering
It is still possible, but joining in such a regular naval battle will have little effect and can only play a role in harassment and containment. In addition, in order to prevent pirates and Zheng Zhilong from sneak attacks, our Penghu garrison force has not been used and is closely monitored."
"It's good to be able to harass and contain them." Ding Yunyi said with a smile: "Brothers, we have 153 ships in Taiwan, and we have soldiers in Penghu. What about pirates? We have hundreds of ships, but we have
But fight more and fight less."
The brothers looked at each other and gave each other a wry smile. It may be said that with more ships, there are fewer ships, but when a naval battle breaks out, only those fifty-one ships can really be used in the frontal battlefield.
But Ding Yunyi's nonchalant manner, chatting and laughing, also made the brothers feel relieved.
"Which warship is this town's?" Ding Yunyi was obviously even more curious about the flagship he was riding on.
Cai Jiuzhou and Zhang Xianxuan looked at each other: "Deputy Commander, you are the soul of the army, it is better to stay in Golden Eagle City and command."
"Don't you fucking flatter me!" Ding Yunyi laughed and scolded: "The soul of the army? We can't afford this name. Brothers are fighting hard, how can we just watch from the shore? Since we have been in the army, which battle has we fought?
Why don't you take the lead personally and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop? Now that the Taixi people are bullying us, how can we, the deputy mayor, just stand by and watch? Damn it!"
Cai Jiuzhou smiled and said: "In that case, please ask the deputy mayor to board the 'Huwei' and command the entire army!"
"Okay, the 'Huwei' is the flagship of the entire fleet!" Ding Yunyi said with satisfaction: "Ye Dahai, follow me to fight head-on. Zhang Xianxuan and Cai Jiuzhou, you two will lead the main fleet to attack the British first, and then defeat the Hongyi fleet. They will be defeated the second time.
Folangji Fleet!"
"Deputy Town is not allowed!" Cai Jiuzhou was shocked: "We are facing a head-on battle. We are facing the Hongyi Fleet and the Folangji Fleet. They are the most dangerous. How can the Deputy Town fight against the enemy alone? I am willing to take on this important task. Please Deputy Town
Command the main attack!"
"Bullshit!" Ding Yunyi scolded without thinking: "If we were on land, of course we would lead the main force to fight to the death, but this is at sea. In terms of sea skills, the three of us, Ding Yunyi, can't compare to you. To laymen.
How can one be invincible if he is an expert in command? You don’t have to argue with me."
Seeing that the deputy mayor had made up his mind, all his subordinates were at a loss as to what to do.
How dangerous is this head-on battle? We have to face the crazy attack of the enemy's main force. If we are not careful, we may have defeated the British warships according to the plan, but it will not help.
But only if the deputy town decides to do something, who can stop him?
Zhang Xianxuan said on the side: "Vice-President, don't forget that there is also a fleet of dry wax. That boy Simond has been gone for so many days, but there is no news at all."
Ding Yunyi's face became solemn: "Yes, he has been there for a few days but there is no news... But I can't control that much. The Ganrasi people agreed to my request and wanted to fight, but they didn't agree to it."
If you ask for it, you have to hit it. Either don't hit it, or just give it a good beating! Damn it, if the dry silk man doesn't move this time, there is still room for negotiation, but if it does, I will stare at it and beat it hard!
"
As he spoke, he emphasized his tone: "Brothers, this time is about the survival of Taiwan, and we must not neglect it. If we lose, we have nothing to say. We can just stretch our necks and wait for our heads to fall off. We are going to win."
This time we will beat the Taixi people to the point where they won’t be able to recover for several years!”
"I am willing to go through fire and water with the deputy town and fight to the end!"
Huangfu Yunjie suddenly said loudly: "Deputy Town, you all went to the sea to fight, what are we going to do?"
"You? What can your cavalry do? You can't go to the sea to fight..." Ding Yunyi touched his head: "You just stay in Golden Eagle City. This time I did not use the weapons of the Taixi people in Golden Eagle City.
The reason is to prevent them from defecting before the battle. You and your brothers will monitor them carefully and cooperate with Qin Yun. As long as they make any changes, don't be polite and deal with them. Also, in case the sea cannot withstand it anymore
, I still have to count on you.”
"Yes, Deputy Town, I understand!"
Ding Yunyi turned his attention to Wang Wei: "What about you, are you ready?"
"Ready." Wang Wei didn't care at all: "The dead men of the Clippers have gathered in twenty boats, with four people in each boat. As long as the deputy mayor gives the order, none of my brothers are afraid of death!
"
Ding Yunyi patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, very few of the Clippers' dead soldiers can come back alive... Deputy Town, don't worry." Wang Wei didn't care at all: "Ever since my thief bitch made me ashamed.
, what I think about day and night is how to take revenge, this opportunity has come, as long as the deputy town doesn’t forget what you promised me!”
"I remember!" Ding Yunyi nodded vigorously: "As long as you can survive, you will be Wang Shoubei!"
"Guard, the Zheng family fleet appears near our Penghu!"
With one sentence, the whole place seemed to explode. Zhang Xianxuan hurriedly said: "Does the Zheng family want to take advantage of the situation and rob it?"
"Even if there is no covenant between me and him, he doesn't have the courage." Ding Yunyi shook his head and said: "He and I were officials in the same court. If he dares to attack at this time, it will be a death penalty and no one can save him.
I guess he came here this time to watch the fighting situation between the two armies. If our army wins, the Zheng family navy can take the opportunity to beat up the drowned dog. If it loses, then he will attack Taiwan as soon as possible, but not now, nor
Not when the two armies are at war."
After hearing what Ding Yunyi said, the brothers felt a little relieved.
Information came one after another, and soon someone came to report that Zheng Zhifeng had arrived.
Ding Yunyi didn't even have to think about it. Zheng Zhifeng was here to spy on his intelligence. While he ordered all his men to go back and prepare, he had Zheng Zhifeng brought in.
As soon as he saw Ding Yunyi, Zheng Zhifeng opened his mouth and said: "Vice-President, please don't worry too much. I, the Zheng Family Navy, were ordered to come to help in the battle. We have no intention of attacking Taiwan and Penghu."
"Haha, brother Ling and I are the best friends. Why don't you believe in his character?" Ding Yunyi invited him in with a smile and asked people to serve tea: "Mr. Zheng, I, Ding Yunyi, can
Thank you for coming to help."
"Vice-President, please don't say that." Zheng Zhifeng said respectfully: "In fact, with the combined fleets of the four countries and the Tiger Guards so powerful, they can be defeated at the first sight, so why are we needed? Zheng Zhifeng is here just to see us.
How can the deputy town and deputy town show their power and destroy thieves in anger? As for the Zheng family navy, it is nothing more than cheering for the Tiger Guards."
"Okay, okay, that's good." Ding Yunyi smiled and said: "I miss you Zheng family. Under the leadership of Deputy Zheng, the Kinmen naval battle defeated the fleet of the Hongyi East India Company, controlled the sea routes, and collected the docking fees for merchant ships from various countries. Deputy Zheng
As a result, the town quickly became rich and prosperous. It became known as the lord and maritime overlord of southern Fujian. Merchant ships that paid protection fees were given the Zheng family's flag. If they wanted to pass through the Zheng family's waters without paying the fee, they might not be able to escape the fate of being robbed. Zheng
The deputy town was so tyrannical that the Hong Yi East India Company was in trouble. The red barbarians united with other forces several times to take over the Zheng family. However, the deputy town Zheng continued to expand its power and defeated the red barbarians time and time again. Speaking of which, it turned out that
I should ask you more for advice."
"You're welcome, you're welcome, the deputy town is so humble." Zheng Zhifeng's face was full of smiles: "The deputy town killed the bandits in Yingzhou and fled after hearing the news. He entered and exited nine times in Liaodong, and on the way back he captured the leader of the bandits.
Gao Yingxiang, that is the real power in the world. Compared with the deputy town, our Zheng family is just a small fisherman."
Two people, you praise them and I praise them, but neither of them is willing to tell the truth.
Ding Yunyi suddenly stopped smiling: "Okay, Mr. Zheng, I have said too much polite words. Let me tell you something that comes from my heart. If I really lose at sea, Golden Eagle City will not be able to defend it. Ding Yunyi still wants to ask me for help.
Mr. Zheng, don’t hesitate, immediately lead your army to attack in large numbers, defeat the Thai-Western fleet, and take control of Taiwan.”
"What did you say?" Zheng Zhifeng could hardly believe it.
"I mean what I said." Ding Yunyi was silent for a while and said: "Rather than fall into the hands of the Hongyi, it is better for Taiwan to be controlled by the Zheng family. It is still my land of the Ming Dynasty. Ding Yunyi is not lying at all on this point."
Zheng Zhifeng nodded silently.
Ding Yunyi suddenly raised his voice slightly: "It's just that if the Zheng family makes a sneak attack in advance, I am afraid that thousands of guns will be fired in Golden Eagle City. Don't say that I didn't warn you, Mr. Zheng."
Zheng Zhifeng laughed "Haha": "Deputy Town, you underestimate my Zheng family too much. At such a critical moment, I will not do anything that will hurt my relatives and make my enemies happy. Besides, since the Deputy Town is so confident,
With these words, I think you have already made preparations for coming to Golden Eagle City, right?"
Ding Yunyi also laughed: "No, no."
He said and looked at the other party: "Master Zheng, the four-nation joint fleet will arrive tomorrow. Is Master Zheng interested in staying here to see how I can fight?"
Zheng Zhifeng was startled, then stood up and said: "Zheng Zhifeng has this intention!"
Ding Yunyi also stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, Third Master, I, Ding Yunyi, will never let you down this time!"
