Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 794

"So, that arrogant governor rejected our offer without even thinking about it?"

In Chixian City Governor's Mansion, Kui Yi squinted his eyes at the envoy who had just rushed back from Fuzhou, and asked slowly.

The messenger said: "Yes! After listening to our conditions, he refused without hesitation, and said, this is a Chinese business, if we dare to intervene, he will be rude to us!"

Kui Yi snorted coldly: "The tone is really serious! No one has ever dared to despise the Dutch Empire like this, never!" This man's originally fair face has become as black as the sky in the Taiwan Strait.Now the Netherlands is enjoying the dividends of the age of great voyages, its national power is booming, and its strength is so strong that only Spain and France can wrestle with them, and they don't pay attention to other countries!How could that arrogant Eastern Governor reject their kindness in one gulp, completely ignoring the Dutch Empire? How could he not be angry!
Leonard's complexion is also not good-looking.Spain is invincible on three continents, Europe, Asia and Africa, and most of the land in South America is owned by them. What amazing strength is this?Although the Armada was defeated by the British Navy once, it did not shake Spain's dominance. In Europe, they are still the well-deserved boss!Damn Yang Menglong, how dare he not take them seriously?This proud Eastern governor must pay the price for this!He said sullenly: "Since Governor Yang doesn't take us seriously, we might as well help Zheng Zhilong deal with him! I think Zheng Zhilong will be happy to accept our terms!"

Although Kui Yi was angry, he still didn't lose his mind: "In this way, our trade with Nanyang will be completely cut off... Let's take a look first, and make a decision when the situation is clearer, anyway, our army will arrive soon , with such a strong military strength, even if they don't agree, Formosa is still our territory!"

Leonard gritted his teeth and said: "But I can't swallow this breath, I have to beat that proud guy hard!"

Kui Yi sneered: "Are you afraid you won't have a chance if you want to deal with him? Zheng Zhilong alone is enough for him!"

In this way, although the Dutch and Spaniards who felt that their self-esteem had been hurt were very angry, but out of the intention of sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, they decided to endure it for a while until the situation became clearer.From their point of view, although Yang Menglong won a naval battle, with his strength, he was absolutely no match for Zheng Zhilong, and there were plenty of ways to deal with him!

The envoy sent by Zheng Zhilong was sent back with good words.Zheng Zhilong failed to pull the treacherous Europeans into his camp for the time being, but he also got a promise that the Europeans would not stab him in the back. He is quite satisfied with the results of this negotiation.At this time, the latest news came again: After gaining a firm foothold in Zhangzhou, the Hanpeng Corps began to march towards Xiamen, and the Denglai Navy had also arrived in Fuzhou, and the Heluo New Army landed in Fuzhou, preparing to take Quanzhou by land and water. Form a pincer attack on Xiamen!

Zheng Zhilong counted and found that Fuzhou was only [-] miles away from Xiamen. With the iron feet of the Heluo New Army, the troops would arrive in the city in at most seven days.What troubled him the most was the ability of the Heluo New Army to take root. As long as they set foot on land, no one could stop their progress. Epidemics, lack of supplies, exhaustion, and conflicts with locals Wait, these big troubles that every army will encounter don't seem to exist for them. If they are allowed to land, things will definitely be big!
Fortunately, it is not easy for thousands of troops to land ashore these years. The efficiency is too low. It takes ten days and a half months to get all the supplies, personnel, and horses ashore. He still has time!Therefore, Zheng Zhilong summoned all the generals and said: "Xiyi intends to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. We will set off immediately without waiting for them, and send troops to Fuzhou to wipe out Xue Siming's army and Denglai navy together!"

All the generals shouted in unison: "Obey!"

Zheng Zhilong looked at Zheng Zhibao: "Third brother, you are here to deal with Han Peng! You don't have to confront him head-on, it would be a great achievement to go around behind him and cut off the passage of military supplies from Guangzhou to Zhangzhou!"

Zheng Zhibao clasped his fists and said, "I will make them unable to deliver even a single grain of rice!" After finishing speaking, he was the first to go out, leading more than 150 warships of all sizes, and headed straight for Zhangzhou.

In the ports of Xiamen and Jinmen, the huge fleet poured out, mighty and boundless, and went straight to Fuzhou.With Zheng Zhibao's lesson, Zheng Zhilong didn't dare to underestimate the enemy any more. He tried his best as soon as he started, and took out [-] warships with the fastest speed, the most powerful firepower, and the best hull condition. Of the excellent warships that went to Europe, only [-] Xiyi were left to stare at Taiwan, and all the others were dispatched!That's not to mention, Zheng Zhilong also decided to go out in person, [-] ships vs [-] ships, his fleet has already formed a tenfold advantage over the Denglai Navy, so I don't believe that Yang Menglong can't be killed!
He was about to board the boat when Zheng Sen hurried over with Shi Lang, calling repeatedly: "Daddy, daddy!"

Zheng Zhilong stopped, looked back at his son, and asked, "Sen'er, what else is there?"

Zheng Sen saluted respectfully and said, "My child is willing to go out with Daddy and do my part for Daddy!"

Shi Lang also said: "My nephew is also willing to go!"

Zheng Zhilong looked at these two young boys and smiled: "Nonsense, fighting is an adult's business. Why are you kids causing trouble? Stay in Xiamen and wait for us to come back. Don't run around!"

Shi Lang was anxious: "Shuai Zheng, although my nephew is young, his fighting skills are no worse than anyone else's. Bringing my nephew along will definitely be useful!"

Zheng Sen said: "Yes, such a war is rare in 100 years. How can the child miss it?"

Zheng Zhilong said: "Stop messing around. War is not as fun as you think. A single shell will kill a lot of people. You are still young, so don't take this risk. Stay in Xiamen and beware of Xiyi. Don't let them Fishing in troubled waters, you know?"

Seeing that Zheng Zhilong didn't leave any room for negotiation, the two boys were frustrated for a while and had to give up.Zheng Sen said dejectedly: "Okay then... But, Dad, you must be careful. The Champion Hou is the kind of ruthless character who gets stronger when he meets a strong opponent. The stronger the opponent, the more excited he is. Recklessly, be careful!"

Zheng Zhilong smiled: "I have fought battles all my life, and in the end I need my son to remind me!" He patted Zheng Sen's head and said, "Take care of your mother and wait for us to come back!" With the sails full, his flagship sailed away from the pier by the sea breeze, merged into the boundless formation and disappeared.

Hundreds of warships were dispatched, the momentum was too great, and it was impossible to take aim at them. After only an hour, Han Peng got the news that the main force of Zheng's fleet was exhausted.The complexion of this general who is known for his calmness changed slightly, he took a breath and said, "Zheng Zhilong has bet all his money, six hundred warships, my God!"

Xu Gong was worried: "Zheng's warships are ten times larger than ours, can the Lord Hou deal with it?"

Han Peng sighed: "One warship of our army has to deal with ten warships of the Zheng family. This battle... can't be fought, at least in my opinion. Flying pigeons send a letter to Lord Hou so that he can prepare early!"

He was rather pessimistic in his heart. Zheng's advantage was so great that it made almost no difference whether Yang Menglong was prepared or not.The only thing he can do is to order his army to speed up and fight all the way to Xiamen, to see if he can encircle Wei and save Zhao, and force Zheng Zhilong to return to rescue Xiamen.On land, the Heluo New Army is not afraid of any opponents. Destroying the powerful Zheng fleet on land has always been the direction of Han Peng's efforts.

Three hours later, a carrier pigeon flew hundreds of miles away and landed on the deck of the flagship of the Cybertron.

The small metal pipe tied to its leg was untied and sent to Yang Menglong.

After Yang Menglong finished reading, he handed it to Shen Tingyang.

Shen Tingyang gasped hissingly: "Zheng Zhilong is trying to swallow us up in one gulp! He sent [-] warships at once, and he led the team himself, my God!"

Yang Menglong said: "This shows that he has finally learned how to be good. He no longer randomly sends cats and dogs with a few broken boats to deliver heads."

Li Yan pondered for a while, then said solemnly: "This battle...is not easy to fight!"

Yang Menglong said: "If it's not easy to fight, you have to fight! Pass my order, all attack, block Zheng's fleet near Pingtan Island, and be sure to annihilate it!"

Both Shen Tingyang and Li Yan's eyes widened: "It must be wiped out? Just rely on our sixty or so warships?"

Yang Menglong is confident: "That's enough! Remember to bring more mines, greet them with mines first, dampen their spirit, and then find a chance to kill them with a hammer!"

It seems that this bastard still intends to head-on to defeat Zheng's fleet, which is ten times stronger than himself, Shen Tingyang and Li Yan are quite helpless, following this wild boar boss, their resourcefulness will not be able to play a role at all!But no matter whether they like it or not, the semaphore of the main battle was still sent out. The Transformers Fleet removed the three more seriously injured warships, and a total of 62 warships were dispatched. They sailed away from Fuzhou Harbor one by one and headed straight for the Pingtan Island waters. , start the minelaying operation.

As early as 30 years ago in the Luliang Sea Battle, the Ming Dynasty Navy used a large number of mines to blow up the Japanese fleet. The mines that disappeared and appeared among the vast waves posed a psychological threat to the enemy, especially the Hundreds of giant ships.The Denglai Navy's equipment is the most advanced in the world. There is no reason not to use such useful things. They brought a thousand mines with them on this trip south. Each mine is loaded with ten kilograms of granular black powder. Once it hits the mine, it will definitely be a disaster. The fate of blood and flesh flying everywhere.The enemy situation was too serious this time. The Denglai navy threw all these thousand mines into the sea regardless of Sanqi 21. As for how much effect they could have, no one was sure. How many ships could be sunk? , those that have not been detonated, it will not be too late to clean up after the war!
Therefore, clearing the mines that had not been detonated became the most troublesome thing for the Denglai Navy after the war.

At the same time as laying the mines, several frigate squadrons were also released, and a powerful warning screen with a radius of [-] kilometers was opened. They watched all directions and listened to all directions. The entire Transformers fleet was waiting for the arrival of Zheng's fleet!
