In the case that technology is not the advantage of crushing, the possibility of one party wanting to wipe out the other in a naval battle is not high, and it is the era of galleons.

The Ming army fought vigorously, but the main force of the Dutch army was still gathering quickly and preparing to flee the battlefield.

With the battle at this level, if you don't run away, you are waiting to die.Dennett is very aware of this.

The sharp artillery fire resounded across the sea, and the Dutch troops in the encirclement fell silent one after another. Some armed merchant ships saw that they couldn't escape, so they immediately began to surrender with white flags.

The sound of shouting and killing resounded, and the Ming army began to land on the Dutch warships, and the hand-to-hand combat between the two sides had already begun.At this time, the gunfire of the flintlock had already sounded, and some Dutch warships were still desperately resisting.

"Send the word, put down your weapons, and spare them from dying." Zhu Youjian looked at the core battlefield with a telescope. After all, those who dared to fight were also brave fighters.

"The emperor's heart is kind, but there are still a lot of enemies running away." Chen Wangting doesn't know how to fight, but he also feels sorry for seeing a large number of enemies running away.

"No way, if someone comes to clean up the mess at this time, maybe we can catch up and fight." Zhu Youjian said.

"Your Majesty, our reinforcements are here." As soon as Zhu Youjian's voice fell, countless boats appeared to the west.

From the appearance, this is a typical Xu family fisherman's boat, tattered, small and slow.

But at this moment, Zhu Youjian was waiting like a helper, even if it was just a straw floating over, it should be used as a stick.

"Hurry up, take my letter and tell them that after this battle, I will give the Xu family fishermen the household registration of Daming, allow them to join the army, and live on land from now on." Zhu Youjian immediately spread his pen and ink.

As a branch of the common people of the Ming Dynasty, the Xu family should have been integrated into the common people of the Ming Dynasty.All Zhu Youjian needs is an opportunity, not to mention that the Xu family itself is the base of sailors.

This is an excellent opportunity. It is really a good deal to let the Xu family make great contributions to this battle and block the mouths of so many people.

"Your Majesty, Zheng Chenggong sent someone to ask, our army is currently short of ammunition, should we pursue it?" Just when Zhu Youjian was very happy, Zheng Chenggong actually kicked the ball.

According to Zheng Chenggong's meaning, the ammunition is not enough, and it is true and not an exaggeration to accept it as soon as it is good at this time.

The rate of fire of the Ming army is faster than that of the Dutch army, which also means that the Ming army consumes more ammunition than the Dutch army.The battle has been going on for so long, there must be a shortage of ammunition.But it's really uncomfortable to watch the Dutch army go out of tune.The warships of the Ming army are not anti-Japanese dramas, and they can keep chug without replenishing ammunition.

"Let Zheng Chenggong come to see me quickly." Zhu Youjian thought for a while, but he was not reconciled.

Zheng Chenggong's face was full of red, and he quickly boarded Zhu Youjian's battleship with joy on his face.The sailors on the entire battleship looked at him with incomparable admiration. Of course, the soldiers adored the general who led them to victory.

"My minister kowtowed to the emperor!" Zheng Chenggong's voice was loud, and he seemed ambitious.

"The battle is over?" Zhu Youjian's voice was cold.

"..." Zheng Chenggong was shocked.

"Get up and do the math with me, how much did the imperial court spend to build such a fleet?" Zhu Youjian asked in a deep voice.

"..." Zheng Chenggong didn't dare to answer, but he still had an account in his heart.Given the current size of this fleet, I am afraid that his Zheng family will not be able to form it even if they run out of money.If the emperor hadn't concentrated all his strength to improve technology a little bit, such a fleet would take at least ten years to accumulate.

What's more, the manpower that the emperor put on this fleet is even more ancient and modern, and it is not an exaggeration at all.

Speaking of Zheng He's voyages to the West, it was accumulated over the years, but the current warship, just for the construction, Ming Emperor Zhu Youjian not only personally participated, but also hired craftsmen from England thousands of miles away.

"The minister is convicted." Zheng Chenggong knelt down and kowtowed.

"When I was in Nanjing, I emphasized one thing. Ming's navy is a blue sea navy, not an offshore navy. The navy's battlefield should be in the ocean, not at your own doorstep.

It's just driving away the Dutch, and it's still at the door of our own house. What's there to boast about.

Is there any essential difference between this and before? " Zhu Youjian asked.

Zheng Chenggong was sweating profusely. Thinking about it now, the battle was won, and the result was really just like what the emperor said, it was fought near the sea and at the door of his house.

The reason why everyone is happy is that in the final analysis, they still feel that the enemy has been driven away from the door, so they think they have won.Is it true that the Chinese people's war thinking only has this sight in front of them?

"Han has the rhetoric that "those who offend our strong Han will be punished even if they are far away". What does it mean to be punished even if it is far away? That is to fight the war on the enemy's territory, instead of just driving the enemy away and being complacent." Zhu Youjian With a look of anger on his face, he was somewhat angry.

Daming's fighting spirit has not yet been aroused, but it is because the suppression is too ruthless.

"I'm going to assemble the fleet now." Zheng Chenggong blushed with shame when he was scolded.

"How do you plan to solve the ammunition problem?" Zhu Youjian asked.

"I have thought about it. The Dutch army has come from a long way, and the ammunition may not be as much as I expected. Moreover, our army is now quite close to Guangzhou, and some ships can return to Guangzhou immediately to replenish ammunition, and then go south directly to the Netherlands. Army Nanyang Base.

In this way, even if the enemy is not wiped out on the battlefield, the enemy must not be supplied. " Zheng Chenggong explained.

"I will give you another reassurance. This time the Dutch army is coming out in full force, the Nanyang islands will definitely be defenseless. I will use all the navy to help you seize Nanyang, and I must uproot the Dutch East India Company." Zhu Youjian said .

Zhu Youjian calculated that since Shi Lang pulled out Batavia, the foundation of the Dutch in Nanyang has begun to shake.

If the Dutch were not in a hurry to attack, but held their ground and waited for Da Ming to attack, then the supply line of the Ming fleet would pass the stage. If the Dutch were to be slowly squeezed out, it would take three or five years.

But the Dutch were too trusting, they took a big gamble and tried to use naval warfare to intimidate Ming to make him submit, but they didn't know that Daming already possessed the sea strength to compete with the East India Company.What's more, Zhu Youjian still has an army in the back garden of the Dutch in Nanyang.

It's called a backyard fire.

The main fleet of Ming Dynasty continued to bite the main force of the Dutch army, and then sent out the force at the bottom of the tank to clean up the empty Dutch army base, and directly attacked Huanglong. The Dutch army had no strength to resist.

This is called leading a snake out of its hole.

"Your Majesty, all the navy will attack, just in case the Japanese..." Zheng Chenggong reminded.

"There is no war mobilization in Japan, and even if there is any action, it will only be at sea. I waited for them to do it, so I don't have to make trouble for Liu Wenxiu and the others." Zhu Youjian smiled strangely.

Zheng Chenggong trembled in his heart. He didn't understand why the emperor seemed to have a deep hatred for the Wa Kingdom. After all, Zheng Chenggong grew up in the Wa Kingdom.

Chapter 6 and Three: Zhu Youjian Enters Guangzhou City

Two hours later, the Ming fleet immediately pursued the Dutch fleet, led by Zheng Chenggong.Emperor Zhu Youjian of the Ming Dynasty stayed on the battlefield off the Pearl River Estuary to deal with post-war affairs.

It is of course a normal choice for the fishermen of the Xu family to actively help the court.If you change any local power, it is appropriate to take action at this time. It would be a fool not to do this kind of thing that is cheap and old.

Zhu Youjian called the leader of the Xu family, sealed his official position on the spot, and promptly formed a militia reserve composed of young and strong fishermen from the Xu family.The task of this army is to help clean up the battlefield, release the prisoners, and help organize some backup warships for supplies.

Guangzhou City originally had some material reserves, after all, the headquarters of the South China Sea Fleet is still in Guangzhou.In addition to the supply of supplies, more than a dozen Dutch warships were captured during the war, and these can now be transformed into the strength of the Ming army.

Zhu Youjian asked Zheng Chenggong to boldly pursue the Dutch army, and it was not a random command without a target to reserve a part of the force for resupply.

"Father, get in the car quickly, there are cold watermelons in the car." Jiu'er heard the news and was already waiting on the Humen pier early, just waiting for Zhu Youjian to get off the boat.

"Tell me my son-in-law, hurry up and repair my ship and send it out. Even if one more battlefield arrives in Nanyang at this time, it will earn a large piece of land for Ming." Zhu Youjian turned around and looked at him. The ship is basically intact.

"Your son-in-law stayed up all night last night, and has been visiting those merchants, just to raise sea ships. No, he was going to accompany me to meet the boat, but when he heard that the Portuguese were also preparing to ship to help us, he went to Haojing again. "Jiu'er hastened to speak well of her son-in-law in front of Zhu Youjian. It seems that the relationship between the two of them is very good.

"Hmph, what kind of heart is there to help us at this time, I really think I don't know what's wrong." Zhu Youjian snorted from his nose.

If the Portuguese really mediate before starting the war, Zhu Youjian may still be grateful.But now, the battle has been won by the Ming army, jumping out now, I'm afraid it's the [-]th post of couplets in the first grade of junior high school-it's too late.

"Send someone to call my son-in-law back. I want to have a drink with him." Zhu Youjian ordered.
