Chapter 998

"It's not good, it's not good, there are enemies at sea!"

"A lot of boats, hurry up, run away!"

"..."

Hearing the sound, Putmans turned around and looked at the sea. Sure enough, at some time, countless ships appeared on the sea, lined up, and surrounded indistinctly under the moonlight.

what happened?How could it cooperate so well with the offense on land?In Putmans' mind, after seeing the fleet on the sea, the first reaction was incomprehensible?
Before he could think about other things, he saw the approaching ships all of a sudden bursting into flames, only heading towards the port.

"Quick, get out of the way, get out of the way!"

Putmans and Hong Yi panicked, they had just boarded the ship, and they hadn't left the sheltered bay before. If they were hit by those arsonist ships, they would all be burned in this bay.

The fire boats were approaching, and Hongyi's boats were trying to dodge, but the harbor was not very big, and there was limited space to move and dodge. As soon as a large number of fireboats entered the harbor, they immediately collided with several Hongyi boats, and under the blazing flames, , Hongyi on the boat didn't dare to stay any longer, and regardless of the result of jumping into the sea, they jumped into the sea one after another, or stood on the boat, a little farther away from the fire, crying for other boats to come and rescue them. Last rescue.

It didn't take long for the flames in the harbor to soar into the sky, turning the entire bay red.

Under the light of the fire, you can see that the Hongyi camp on the shore is already full of Ming people with weapons. They surround the pier and guard the seaside. Whenever anyone from the sea comes up, three or four people will run together to catch them.If it's Hongyi, just tie him up and throw it aside, if it's the navy officers and soldiers on the arsonist ship, he will go ashore immediately.

The night is actually not suitable for combat, and this is still a naval battle.Therefore, although under the connection of the chat group, the water and land cooperated seamlessly, Zheng Zhilong and the Portuguese fleet just appeared in time when Hongyi fled to the ship, and another set fire to block the harbor, and the rest of the warships scattered around the periphery. In the end, Hong Yi escaped with some ships.

Under the reflection of the fire in the port, the naval warships leaned up and hooked some of Hongyi's ships for a springboard battle.Moreover, as long as one bow is hooked, the Ming army often attacks one bow together, outnumbering the few.At this time, Hong Yi, who has the fighting spirit, basically has no fierce resistance.

But no matter what, Hongyi escaped from the three-bow warship in the end.Although the Portuguese warships and Zheng Yiguan's warships were chasing after them, but the sea was vast, it might not be possible to completely wipe out the Hongyi.

At this time, the moon was hanging in the sky, the moonlight sprinkled on the earth, and the sky was completely dark.This battle to annihilate Hongyi and regain Taiwan can already be declared over.Liu Jinsheng and Zheng Zhiwan successively reported the situation of the sea and land battles in the chat group, and attached photos of the battle.

Emperor Chongzhen was very satisfied when he saw it.The principle he gave at the beginning was to annihilate Hongyi as soon as possible with the least cost.Today's battle against Hongyi did not use the siege method like Zheng Chenggong in the original history, which took time and money to defeat Hongyi, which saved a lot of troops and materials.

"Your Majesty, it has been confirmed that the flagship of Hongyi Governor Putmansi is in the three-bow warship that escaped." After a while, Liu Jinsheng immediately reported to Emperor Chongzhen, "There is a gap in the sea!"

What he vaguely meant was that Zheng Zhilong had neglected his duty.

But when Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he did not do what he expected. Instead, he replied: "It's okay, I will issue a notice later, Xiao Yu, and spread it to Nanyang, announcing the crimes of the governor of Hongyi. The red barbarians who committed crimes will be brought to justice."

This is actually the maritime version of "Anyone who violates the great power of tomorrow will be punished even if he is far away!" Taiwan's Hongyi, their old nests were taken away, and their main force was wiped out. They have already achieved their combat goals.And the escaped warship with three bows just happened to be one of the excuses for sending troops to Nanyang after the Ming Dynasty. For Emperor Chongzhen, who had a long-term goal, he was actually happy to see it come true.

A few days later, the imperial court announced the establishment of a county in Taiwan, and all fugitives on the island who consciously registered with the county seat within the time limit will not be held accountable for the past.If it was before the change, the government would rashly go ashore and announce this policy, which would probably attract resistance from the fugitives.But after what happened to Hongyi, the fugitives on the island have already deeply understood the truth that although the government collects taxes, it can protect them.If there is no government, they are just lambs waiting to be slaughtered.With the testimony of Chen Ming and others, the establishment of a county government by the imperial court in Taiwan is proceeding very smoothly.

As a result, under the jurisdiction of the governor of Fujian, another Taiwan county was officially added.

So far, along the southeast coast of Daming, the pirates have all fled to Southeast Asia, almost extinct, and the red barbarians have also been wiped out by the Daming Navy. After Hong Yi's end, she behaved very well!
Therefore, Li Zhiqi's Denglai Navy escorted the grain ship back to the north after the Nanyang returning grain ship arrived.

Among them, in the First World War in Taiwan, meritorious service was rewarded. Zheng Zhilong's men served as mid-level officials in the Denglai Navy, and Li Zhiqi's men served as mid-level officials in the Fujian Navy.Anyone can tell at a glance that this is the imperial court preventing one family from being dominant, and mixing them up is conducive to control.For Li Zhiqi and Zheng Zhilong, they definitely don't want this.But the imperial court did this, and they had no choice.What's more, beside the two rivals, there are people closest to each other.On weekdays, if you want to use your power to make things difficult for those who are transferred here, it will not be so easy.For this situation, it can only be admitted.

Solving the pirate problem along the southeast coast of Ming Dynasty, Sun Chuanting, the governor of the three provinces, clearly mentioned that the maritime merchants of Ming Dynasty were increasing, and the income from sea tax began to increase by leaps and bounds again.This made Emperor Chongzhen very happy. As time goes by, I believe that there will be more people involved in maritime trade.The opening of the sea has entered a virtuous circle.Next, the Portuguese in Macau behaved obediently, so let them go for the time being.Develop the navy first, and wait until the navy is strong enough.

After thinking about this, Emperor Chongzhen picked up a memorial on the imperial case and read it again.This memorial is very thick, and it was handed over by Liu Xingzuo, the commander of Jin Yiwei.Turning around, he picked up another memorial, which was handed over by Wang Chengen, the admiral of Dongchang.

Emperor Chongzhen let go of the two books, and after checking them each, he made a decision in his heart, raised his head and ordered to the eunuch on duty beside him: "Let Liu Xingzuo and Wang Chengen see you!"
