In this battle, more than half of the combined fleets of the four countries were lost. Ding Yunyi determined the ownership of sea power in one battle.
In the next few years, the two maritime powers Portugal and the Netherlands will not be able to organize another attack on Taiwan. What they want to think about is how to face the next crisis if they protect their colonies in the east.
Ding Yunyi, who won the naval battle, faced only Zheng Zhilong as his opponent.
Spain? Although they escaped unscathed in this naval battle, Taiwan is obviously not very attractive to them. Now they can try to extend their tentacles towards places controlled by the Dutch and Portuguese like Batavia.
.
This time, Ding Yunyi not only successfully defeated the attack of the four-nation combined fleet, but also captured thirty-three enemy warships, completely making up for his losses.
Although most of the ships were damaged, with the Taiwanese shipyard there, they could be repaired in a short time and then added to the Tiger Guards Fleet.
If you get rich, you can indeed get rich by fighting.
Of course, there are still so many prisoners. The commander of the British fleet, Kerkevi, the commander of the Portuguese fleet, Delson, and the commander-in-chief of the Dutch fleet and the combined fleet, Ida Dan, did not escape. They all became
Ding Yunyi's prisoner.
Such a victory can only be described as a great victory.
"Report to the deputy town"
Before Ye Dahai finished speaking, Ding Yunyi had already said repeatedly: "Don't report it, don't report it. You can handle it on your own. I'm covered in injuries and pain all over my body. It's killing that person. Aida Dan, come and help me."
He didn't care whether people could understand or not, so he put his hand on Aida Dan's body.
Aida Dan is a smart man in this regard. He understood the meaning as soon as he saw it and helped Ding Yunyi.
"Let's go back to our own warship." Ding Yunyi covered his waist with his other hand. During Fang's battle, an unknown ghost hit him on the waist. Now that the battle is over, soreness has come up. Ding Yunyi said, "Ouch
"Ouch" he yelled, while saying: "I'm talking to Aida Dan, why don't you come and hit my Taiwan? Forget about other injuries. After being bitten like this, you have to lie in bed for ten and a half days."
Can"
Aida babbled a lot of words. Ding Yunyi couldn't understand a word, but he nodded decently: "Ah, you repent? It's good to repent, it's good to repent. But we don't blame you, you can
We sent so many warships, and we even made a profit. Ah, by the way, your country has to come and ransom you, right? The ransom must not be less."
The two of them were talking to each other, regardless of whether the other party could understand them or not, and they were speaking in a decent manner. Ding Yunyi's subordinates all looked at each other, what were these two talking about?
Ding Yunyi suddenly stopped and said: "The captives must be taken care of by the boss and served with good food and drink. You must remember that you must keep careful accounts of how much you eat and drink. Damn it."
.These people will all be Jinna in the future.”
This sentence couldn't be more clear. Your Excellency is going to be a bandit and engage in kidnapping for ransom.
"Master Zheng, how did our Hu Ben Guards fight in this battle?" Ding Yunyi suddenly asked.
"It's an eye-opener, it's an eye-opener." Zheng Zhifeng, who also suffered several injuries, did not ridicule at all: "Zheng Zhifeng has been at sea for a long time. I have never seen such a man who uses troops like a god. He defeated the many with less and captured good things.
If there are too many troops on the sea, there will be no place for anyone to take advantage of them."
Although it was more flattering, it was still telling the truth. Ding Yunyi was very proud: "Zheng Sanye worked with the town to defeat the enemy this time, and he was also brave and injured. It will be indispensable for the victory report to be reported to the court."
I have to mention Mr. Zheng’s name. Oh, by the way, in the future, when the Taixi people come to ask for prisoners, I think they will have to go through your Zheng family as the middleman. I’m afraid I will still have to trouble Mr. Zheng. When the ransom is low, you
Mr. Zheng’s share will never be lost.”
Zheng Zhifeng hesitated for a moment: "Vice-President, let me put it bluntly. Our Ming Dynasty has always spread its benevolence to the world. We have also fought against Hongyi in the past, and we also had prisoners. As long as Hongyi bows his head and admits defeat, the prisoners will always be returned."
.My lord, it is unavoidable, but it is unavoidable to ask for ransom.”
He was embarrassed to continue talking, but Ding Yunyi said carelessly: "It must be some banditry, right? But I am just one thing. I have spent so much effort to win this battle, and so many brothers have died. The pension is huge.
Give them a lot of money, and you won't get any benefits from returning the prisoners? That's a no-brainer. This time the Red Barbarian envoys are here, and you can help me send a message to them. This town has a huge appetite."
Zheng Zhifeng smiled bitterly. It was unlucky for the Taixi people to offend this deputy general.
But it's also strange. Logically speaking, Ding Yunyi is Ding Yuanzhao's father-in-law. He has read poetry and books since he was a child, so he should be knowledgeable, sensible, steady and elegant, but how do you think this Ding Gong is so gangster?
Cleaning the battlefield will take a long time at least. Ding Yunyi is injured all over, but he can't wait for that long. He leaves everything to his subordinates and takes Ada Dan, Delson and Kirkwei with him.
A Thai commander took advantage of the boat and returned to Taiwan first.
These three Thai commanders were very disciplined and neither made trouble nor resisted. Anyway, this is the rule in the Thai country. If you pay the ransom, you can get your freedom, but you will not lose your head because of being a prisoner in the war.
.
This is exactly what Ding Yunyi was thinking.
Paying ransom in exchange for prisoners is something that the countries in the West consider to be a matter of course. Zheng Zhifeng, using my enlightened mind to speculate on the thoughts of the people in the West, would be a bit unfounded.
As soon as we landed in Taiwan, there were overwhelming cheers.
The soldiers and civilians who stayed behind in Taiwan had already packed Golden Eagle City inside and outside the city after hearing about the great victory at sea.
Your Excellency is invincible on land, and the same is true at sea.
Those cheers one after another are a good reward for Ding Yunyi
Qin Yun stood in front of the team and saw Ding Yunyi arriving. Regardless of Ding Yunyi's injuries, the third brother had to go first in every battle and was injured in every battle. This had become a habit. He glanced at the prisoners and was pleased.
He said quietly: "Third brother, I heard that many prisoners were captured this time. Can we make it easy?"
Ding Yunyi laughed. He smiled so much that his wounds ached: "Sure enough, heroes think alike, and I am thinking about this too. Fourth brother, you have to take stock of these prisoners. Don't count them out. This officer
They are guarded separately from the soldiers, and there is no need for many soldiers to guard them. They are very honest. We are just waiting for the ransom to redeem them."
Thinking of the large sum of money that was about to arrive, Qin Yun smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.
There, Zheng Zhifeng hastily bandaged the wound: "Vice-President, now that the fighting here is over, I won't be here for a long time."
"Come here, see Mr. Zheng off." Ding Yunyi watched Zheng Zhifeng leave and smiled: "In addition to defeating the Taixi Fleet, this naval battle also allowed Zheng Zhifeng to witness the strength of our Tiger Guards. I think they will not do anything unless they have to."
Don't dare to offend our power."
At this point, he shouted "Ouch, ouch, ouch" again: "My whole body hurts, please carry me back."
Just as Ding Yunyi had judged, Zheng Zhifeng, who had personally experienced a sea battle, was extremely shocked by the combat effectiveness displayed by the Tiger Guards.
As soon as I returned to my ship, I was surprised to find that in addition to Zheng Zhibao, my eldest brother Zheng Zhilong had also arrived.
Seeing that Zheng Zhifeng was injured, Zheng Zhilong was very concerned, but Zheng Zhifeng repeatedly waved his hands and said it didn't matter: "Brother, my injury is nothing. I will personally participate in the naval battle this time. The Tiger Guards are very worrying. How are their tactics?
Not to mention, in terms of a single ship, no one in our Zheng family navy could surpass the "Huwei" I was on. And in this naval battle, although Ding Yunyi also suffered losses, he also captured a large number of warships.
This will greatly increase the strength of the Tiger Guards."
"Although he has the 'Huwei' and has added warships, the three thousand ships of our Zheng family can kill his Tiger Guards with one shot." Zheng Zhilong was full of confidence in his navy, so
He didn't care much: "What worries me is that although he led the main force to go out, the defense of Taiwan and Penghu has not been relaxed at all. I saw his troop formations. If we launch an attack, Golden Eagle City and Penghu will
It's enough to hold on until he comes back for help. It seems that this person is still guarding me at every turn even in a life-or-death situation."
He frowned and said, "It's just that I have an alliance with him now, and the biggest opponent is Zhang Kentang. Although Zhang Kentang is happy about his victory in the naval battle this time, he will inevitably have to be wary of him and me again, so he should start with
Focus your energy on Zhang Kentang and put aside Ding Yunyi’s matters for the time being."
"I'm afraid that if this happens, Ding Yunyi's power will become stronger and stronger," Zheng Zhifeng said with concern.
"No matter how big it is, it's nothing more than this." Zheng Zhilong looked very conceited: "With all the strength of the Zheng family, the Tiger Guards can defeat them overnight. But he has captured so many prisoners this time, how are he going to deal with them?"
"In exchange for ransom."
"In exchange for ransom?" Zheng Zhifeng said one sentence. Zheng Zhilong was very curious. When his brother nodded, Zheng Zhilong was dumbfounded: "Why did he think of it? Isn't he afraid of losing Ming's face?"
"This is unbelievable. No one can guess his true inner thoughts." Zheng Zhifeng said with a wry smile: "And he is quite sure that the Taixi people will definitely ask my Zheng family to come forward."
"Help him, help him," Zheng Zhilong said with a smile.
He wanted to see what Ding Yunyi's method was in exchange for the ransom, and how much ransom the Taixi people were willing to pay.
"Lu Xue, bring me a towel."
"Lu Hui, go and see why the doctor hasn't come yet:"
"Xiao Cui, where is the medicine for knife wounds? Hurry up and get the medicine for knife wounds."
In Ding Yunyi's house, the sound of women shouting and walking was heard.
He went out alone and came back bloody.
Han Xiaoxiao Axi is very familiar with this scene. Every time her husband goes out to fight, he seems unwilling to do so unless he is covered in injuries.
Deng Lianyu was also anxious nearby. Her husband's behavior was really worrying and scary, but with so many concubines and maids surrounding him, she couldn't help even if she wanted to.
When Ding Yunyi took off his clothes, Deng Lianyu couldn't help but exclaimed.
Ding Yunyi's body is covered with wounds. At a quick glance, there are dozens of them. The most serious one is on his chest. Although it has healed long ago, the wound is still shockingly left there.
.
"This was left behind when we were fighting pirates." Han Xiaoxuan almost knew what Deng Lianyu was thinking: "My husband almost didn't survive that time, but Father Sarozzi saved his life. Most of you are the first
Once I saw, I, Ah Xi and Lu Xue and Lu Hui have long been accustomed to strange things. When my husband fights, he must be the first in every battle and be injured in every battle. He refuses to listen to anyone who advises him, as if his life is not his own. This
It was pretty good this time, no serious injuries.”
"Ouch, be gentle." Ding Yunyi called out.
Han Xiaoxiao rolled his eyes at him: "Why didn't you complain when you were injured when you were fighting?"
Having said that, the movements in his hands are indeed much gentler.
Chen Yuanyuan sat on the bed, letting Ding Yunyi's head rest on her lap. She gently stroked an old wound on Ding Yunyi's body with her fingers, her tone full of reverence: "It was the first time I met Brother Ding in Suzhou. He was also covered with wounds.
.I think all great heroes are like this. If the general has thin skin and tender flesh, and not even a single scar, then what’s so surprising? On the contrary, it’s not worth Yuanyuan’s dedication. No matter where you go with Brother Ding, you won’t regret it.
"
"Look how well our Yuanyuan said it." Ding Yunyi said with a smile: "There is no such thing as a great hero without injuries, right? You didn't see this time that those Taixi were afraid of my knife when they saw it.
Taiwan can enjoy a few years of peace."
Han Xiaoxiao sighed: "Husband, after all, you are a deputy general now. It is not an exaggeration to say that you are a minister of the border. Can you not be so desperate in future wars?"
"I don't look like my little one." Ding Yunyi said with a smile: "I think back then, when I was fighting against the pirates, Xiaoxiao played the music himself to cheer me on. Could it be that having a baby in my belly would make me less timid?
Already?"
Han Xiaoxiao couldn't laugh or cry and was too lazy to argue with him.
Deng Lianyu looked at Ding Yunyi's injuries from the side and listened to their words, feeling more and more admired in her heart.
When such a man becomes your husband, he will never feel wronged in his life. In this era, who doesn’t admire the great heroes?
It's a pity that he has never looked at you seriously.
I can only blame myself for being in Suzhou that day. If I could marry him that night, there wouldn't be so many things to do in the future.
But now, it’s too late to say anything. I can only hope that my husband will change his mind in the future. (Your support on this website is my biggest motivation.)
