Oniomaru, who was roaming the sea back then, was destroyed like this.
Maybe Oniomaru, who is now in the underworld, is unwilling to fail like this, but for the soldiers and people of Penghu, this is the happiest thing in the past few years.
They never thought that not only could they defeat Hitachi Gon Yasuda, but they could even defeat Kiohmaru.
And there is only one person who brought all these miracles:
Ding Yunyi!
From this moment on, Ding Yunyi has become the support and spiritual sustenance of Penghu people.
The emperor of the Ming Dynasty was Emperor Chongzhen, but for the soldiers and people of Penghu, there was only one invincible King of Penghu in their eyes:
Ding Yunyi!
Most of the pirates have been eliminated. The only regret is that Lizihu, who almost brought disaster to Penghu, ran away with a dozen pirates at some time.
This also made Hong Tiaoyuan very frustrated.
"General Manager Hong is too kind and too soft. Although he showed heroic spirit this time, he is not the material to do big things after all." Qin Yun said in a low voice after knowing what happened.
Ding Yunyi pursed his lips and did not answer. He asked Cai Jiuzhou to take the pirates back to Fujian to ask for rewards for the soldiers and civilians of Penghu. He also asked Qin Yun to write two letters to Fujian Governor Zou Weilian and his father. He believed that it explained how Oniwang Maru invaded and was defeated.
.
Qin Yun was born in Xie Yuan and wrote brilliantly. The letter did not mention anything about Ding Yunyi leading a group of brothers to fight against the evil. It was just that Oniomaru first sent his disciple Hitachi Gongbaotian to invade Penghu and was defeated by Hong Tiaoyuan and Ding Yunyi.
Later, Oniomaru personally attacked and was defeated again. Ding Yunyi killed Oniomaru in anger.
The letter seemed to say that Hong Tiaoyuan and Ding Yunyi were responsible for the two defeats of the pirates, but in fact, under Qin Yun's clever writing, the main credit was Ding Yunyi's, and Hong Tiaoyuan only assisted on the side.
For Ding Yunyi and for his own future, Qin Yun took great pains...
This time Ding Yunyi not only won a complete victory, but also gained a great harvest. In addition to the main ship that was blown up by Wei Jide and the ship that Lizihu quietly sailed away, Ding Yunyi obtained 24 of Kiohmaru's ships out of thin air, as well as
The huge wealth that Onimaru plundered.
After learning about Wei Jide from Xie Tian, Ding Yunyi thought for a while and asked Qin Yun to write a letter. The letter described in detail the story of Wei Jide's death for righteousness, which could be regarded as a kind of consolation to Wei Jide's spirit in heaven.
Cai Jiuzhou detached most of the ships and sailors in his fleet and escorted the pirates back to Fujian, while he stayed with the manpower of two ships, willing to be by Ding Yunyi's side to gain fame together.
Ding Yunyi originally felt that he was short of manpower and lacked naval combat talents. Now Cai Jiuzhou voluntarily stayed, which was exactly what he wanted. However, Ding Yunyi is just a small patrol inspector at the moment, so he can only wrong Cai Jiuzhou and become a hundred commander. Fortunately, Cai Jiuzhou doesn't care.
.
"Inspector Ding." Cai Jiuzhou suggested: "Although we defeated Oniomaru, we won firstly by being unexpected, and secondly by killing Oniomaru first. There is also some luck involved in the three. If we do it again next time
If a large group of pirates come, I'm afraid it won't be that easy to deal with, and there's also a red barbarian who is more ferocious than the pirates."
This is what Ding Yunyi is most worried about: "Brother Zhenxing, do you have any good suggestions?"
Cai Jiuzhou apologized first: "It's not that I, the Cai family, are stingy. Most of the fleet they brought this time went back, leaving only two small boats for inspection by Ding. Instead, we want to build one that can withstand the wind and waves on the sea.
It takes a lot of time to threaten a ship that can protect itself at the same time. My Cai family's maritime business is really busy..."
"Brother Zhenxing, what are you talking about?" Ding Yunyi said with a smile: "The Cai family has helped me so much this time. If I can't thank you enough, how can I blame you? Besides, I'm satisfied with leaving two boats for me. What's more?
Or, didn’t we also capture twenty-four ships?”
"It is these twenty-four ships that I want to talk about." Cai Jiuzhou said: "Since Kiohmaru lost to Zheng Zhilong, the fleet has been scattered again and again. The reason why he can still make people change his mind is entirely because of
It’s his personal bravery, not his fleet. Once the so-called fleet of his now starts a war, except for three or four that are barely usable, the rest are not worthy of a fight."
Ding Yunyi frowned as he listened.
He didn't know much about ships, but Cai Jiuzhou came from a maritime family, so what he said was correct.
I originally thought that by capturing Oniomaru's fleet, I would be able to make a difference at sea, but now it seems that is not the case. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but ask: "What do you mean?"
Cai Jiuzhou was confident: "According to my opinion, I sent people to find a way to sell off all these Kiohmaru ships. If the superiors asked, they would only say that most of Kiohmaru's ships were destroyed by me in the naval battle. I don't think the higher ups would do it."
get to the bottom."
This sentence awakens the dreamer.
Yes, these ships are in ruins, but they may not belong to Ding Yunyi.
When Zou Weilian heard about the great victory, he would definitely be overjoyed, and he would definitely ask about the whereabouts of the Oniohmaru fleet. What would he say then? It would be better to simply sell them to save the trouble. I guess the Cai family has a way to secretly sell these ships without leaving any traces.
He immediately agreed and heard Cai Jiuzhou say: "Then we will use the money we got from selling the boats, plus the seized property of Oniohmaru, to build a few good boats. These can be left to my Cai family to handle, and we are guaranteed to build them again.
The boat satisfied the inspection both in terms of performance and price.”
Ding Yunyi was overjoyed: "Okay, I'll leave it all to you. Remember, all ships must be equipped with Folan cannons. If the money is not enough, I will figure out a way."
"I just did some calculations, and it will be enough if you use it compactly."
When Cai Jiuzhou said this, Ding Yunyi interrupted him: "No, you have to leave me a sum of money. I have to renovate the Penghu fortress."
In order to increase the high-quality labor population in the Dutch East Indies as quickly as possible, the Dutch Governor Kuhn, who had a special liking for the Chinese labor force, repeatedly ordered: "Plunder as many Chinese men, women, and children as possible to enrich Bacheng, Anhan and Wan."
Dan.”
The Dutch fleet carried out this mission faithfully, which ultimately angered the Ming Dynasty.
In August of the third year of the Ming Dynasty, Nan Juyi, an official of the main war effort, was appointed governor of Fujian. In November of the same year, a Dutch warship was burned, 52 people were captured alive, and 8 were killed. In the first month of the following year, 40 warships carried
Almost overnight, 2,000 Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers appeared in front of the Penghu Fortress built by the Dutch, landed on the beach under Dutch artillery fire, and launched a fierce attack.
After all, the Dutch are a battle-hardened division. They retreated to Fenggui City, which faced the sea on three sides and only one side by land. The Dutch army dug deep trenches on land as obstacles, controlled the sea with warships, and relied on naval guns and shore guns.
Crossfire successfully prevented the Ming army's attack.
Seeing that the attack was unstoppable, the Ming army also built a stone city in Penghu. The two sides faced off and attacked each other. Nan Juyi personally went to Penghu to supervise the division and directed the Ming army to assemble everywhere. In the end, more than 10,000 Ming army officers and soldiers and soldiers were gathered in this tiny place.
There were nearly 200 warships. The Ming Navy set up fireships all over Penghu Port to attack Dutch warships, and the infantry set up artillery in the Magong Mazu Temple to bombard Fenggui City across the sea.
In addition, the Ming army arranged numerous giant fort baskets, each 5 feet long and wide, with logs underneath and filled with gravel. They used them as bunkers to rest or fire cannons during the day, and pushed them forward at night. The Dutch artillery was powerless against this.
At the same time, Nan Juyi sent a letter to the new commander-in-chief of the Dutch army, threatening to fill Penghu Bay with sand and gravel if he did not leave.
The Dutch claimed to have crossed the seven seas, but they had never encountered such a fierce attack. In the end, they could no longer hold on and were forced to dismantle the Penghu Fortress that had been in operation for two years under the supervision of the Ming army and sail away in despair.
