Ding Yunyi's bravery greatly inspired the morale of the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty Navy, and also greatly weakened the Dutch people's will to fight.
Not long after the battle, the Dutch on this ship chose to surrender. This also became the first Dutch warship captured by the Ming Dynasty Navy.
In this battle, the Ming Dynasty Navy won a complete victory. Four Dutch warships were sunk and burned, and one was captured alive. All the other Dutch warships were severely damaged and then escaped. However, all fifty warships brought by the pirate Liu Xiang to help the battle actually
The army was destroyed.
The cry of "Long live" resounded across the sea, this was a great victory in the Ming Dynasty naval battle!
Looking at the cheering brothers, Ding Yunyi felt the thrill and excitement of battle for the first time.
Although it is now the sixth year of Chongzhen's reign and the Ming Dynasty is suffering from internal and external troubles, the Ming Dynasty's navy is still extremely powerful. It killed the Dutch, the European maritime hegemon, and abandoned its armor, resulting in heavy losses.
The only thing Ding Yunyi couldn't figure out was how could such a great Ming Dynasty die so easily?
Bao Juhua came over clutching his injured ribs. He was extremely grateful to Ding Yunyi for saving his life and thanked him repeatedly.
Even Zou Weilian, the governor of Fujian, did not expect that the naval battle was won in such a way.
There were two people who performed particularly well in this naval battle. One was the vanguard, General Zheng Zhilong, and the other was Ding Yunyi, the son of Fujian Zanli Military Affairs Ding Yuanzhao!
Although Ding Yunyi belonged to Zheng Zhilong's fleet, he had a special status. Standing behind him was his father Ding Yuanzhao. Zheng Zhilong deliberately made friends with him. When describing his military exploits, he specifically mentioned Ding Yunyi.
Therefore, as a small sailor, Ding Yunyi was actually able to receive an audience with Zou Weilian, the governor of Fujian and the admiral of military affairs, together with a group of generals and deputy generals.
"In this one move, thousands of barbarians were burned and sunk, 118 barbarians were captured alive, five large barbarian ships were burned, and one large barbarian ship was captured. The governor of Yi Da Yuan (Taiwan) and the commander of the fleet
Mr. Putmans resigned as commander-in-chief after the battle..."
After reading the memorial to the imperial court in a melodious tone, Zou Weilian, who was very happy, changed his subject: "This battle can be won, not only because of the great saint Hongfu, but also because the general Zheng Zhilong took the lead and fought hard, and it was a great success. I have confirmed the facts.
Recommended, I think the favor from the imperial court will come soon."
Zheng Zhilong was overjoyed when he heard that, he hurriedly humbly said something, and glanced at Ding Yuanzhao, who was sitting silently under Zou Weilian: "Come back to Commander Fu, in this battle, Ding Yunyi, the sailor of our fleet, bravely took the lead and approached the two Hongyi ships.
, Yun Yi risked his life, took the lead in boarding the ship, killed two brave and good warriors of Hongyi, seriously injured one, forced Hongyi to surrender, and captured a huge Hongyi ship, which was really his first contribution. He had to be commended and returned
Please give me a promotion."
Zou Weilian and Ding Yuanzhao had always been on good terms and had originally intended to promote Ding Yunyi. However, considering Ding Yuanzhao's eccentric temper, he held back for the time being. At this time, Zheng Zhilong was the first to say that it was the best thing to do.
"This, Xiang Wen's bravery is beyond my expectation..." Zou Weilian called Ding Yunyi's character "Xiang Wen", and then thought for a moment: "I have decided to use Xiang Wen as the commander-in-chief..."
..."
As soon as these words were spoken, Ding Yuanzhao was the first to say: "Ding Yunyi is young. He has not yet turned nineteen this year, and he has no fame. How can he be the general manager with only his bravery? I thought he was a patrol officer.
The inspection is enough. The Penghu District's Penghu Biao sent a letter to the General Flood Control Bureau last time, saying that Penghu Biao still lacked an inspection inspector, and the subordinates thought that Ding Yunyi could take up the post there."
With just this sentence, Ding Yunyi was demoted from the seventh-grade general manager, who had already obtained it, to a ninth-grade inspection officer.
Ding Yunyi didn't care how old his official position was. He knew that "Penghu Biao" was an official pure military unit in Penghu. It was formerly called "Penghuyou". This military unit was temporarily disbanded due to the Dutch attack. After that, the Ming Dynasty adopted a policy of non-interference in the Dutch East Indies.
This unit was reestablished on the condition that the company's Taiwan affairs were taken over.
During the Qi Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, the original "Penghu Tour" was upgraded to "Penghu Standard", and the highest official was also upgraded from Ba Zong to Guerrilla. However, because Penghu was desolate and barren, no guerrillas had ever been in office, and Bao had always been the leader.
General management of Penghu's military affairs and local people's livelihood.
It doesn’t matter how old you are, but the problem is that the current Penghu is not the Penghu of Ding Yunyi’s time. It is terribly desolate. Ding Yunyi remembers that only three things are edible: sweet potatoes, groundnuts, and sorghum. Moreover, the climate of Penghu is very different from that of Taiwan. Even the plants are
Nothing to see!
Throwing yourself into such a place is really costing your own life! Are you Ding Yuanzhao's "son"?
Zou Weilian showed hesitation on his face. He called Ding Yuanzhao to him and whispered: "Brother Duan Ran, how can we station people in Penghu? You only had two daughters before. How can you be willing to give him a son like Xiang Wen?"
Sent to Penghu?"
"Fu Shuai." Ding Yuanzhao said calmly: "It is precisely because Yuanzhao had a son in middle age. The so-called deep love means deep responsibility. Xiang Wen has been smart since he was a child, but has a cowardly personality, so I put him here."
Training in the military. It has only been a few months. Look, Commander, Xiang Wen is like a different person. He is actually able to kill strong enemies with his own hands. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would hardly dare to recognize that this is my son.
.”
Ding Yuanzhao was indeed right about this. Ding Yunyi is really a different person now.
Ding Yuanzhao continued: "What I mean is to put him in Penghu to practice for another year, so that he can become a good person in the future. He is only eighteen years and three months old this year, very young, what can he do if he suffers a little hardship?
"
"Brother Duan Ran, Brother Duan Ran." Zou Weilian shook his head repeatedly, saying that there was nothing he could do about this good friend: "I'll just follow you. If your wife comes to make trouble in the future, you must not blame me."
As he spoke, his face straightened: "Ding Yunyi."
"The humble position is here!"
As soon as the word "humble position" came out, everyone burst into laughter. Ding Yuanzhao was so angry that he stared at his son.
Even if Ding Yunyi becomes an inspector, he is just a small ninth-grade official. How can he qualify to call himself a "humble position"? But seeing everyone laughing, Ding Yunyi was confused and didn't know what he said wrong.
Zou Weilian smiled and passed by. It seems that Ding Yunyi was too nervous in front of all the officials, so he said the wrong thing and didn't care: "Ding Yunyi, you have made great achievements this time and should have been heavily rewarded. However, I think you are young and lack the firepower, so
Are you willing to appoint you to patrol Penghu?"
At this point, how could Ding Yunyi say he was unwilling? He bit the bullet and said, "Thank you Fushuai!"
But in my heart, I scolded myself "I" thousands of times and brought myself to a desolate place like Penghu. What kind of peace of mind did I have?
I don’t know if the former “Ding Yunyi” offended this stubborn old man, causing him to treat his son like this.
