"Governor, didn't General Chen of the Ming Dynasty ask us to stay on the shore after landing?"
Here, Captain Leiter of the Dutch flagship warship who was following Abu Kuai asked.
Albuquerque said: "We have already landed. How can the Portuguese stay on the shore and wait for the Spanish to come back and share half of our spoils? If we want to destroy the Portuguese fleet, let the Ming Dynasty and the Spanish Go ahead and eliminate them yourself. We are businessmen, and the first thing we should think about is maximizing our own interests! Go ahead and seize the inner city immediately."
After all, the Netherlands is a country that started on business. It is good at calculations but not good at military. Therefore, it ignores that military is not a simple comparison of strength game, and therefore goes deep into the inner city of Goa alone.
As a result, Albuquerque and his more than a thousand Dutch soldiers encountered intensive artillery and firearm attacks as soon as they arrived in the inner city. The Portuguese and local indigenous people showed their tenacious fighting will and actually rushed out of the city and shot and killed the Dutch. Soldiers, because both the Portuguese and the local natives knew that the Dutch had poor discipline. Once the Dutch invaded the inner city, no one would get anything good to eat. Therefore, these Dutch were defeated miserably and lost most of them in one fell swoop. troops.
Abu Kui had no choice but to lead the remaining soldiers and fled to a river in embarrassment, and said: "Go to the shore to ask for help from the Ming Kingdom! We suffered a disastrous defeat!"
…
"These red-haired sailors underestimate the enemy and advance rashly, and they will definitely be defeated! But our Daming Navy has no obligation to clean up the butts of these red-haired sailors. With Kroner's fleet and our Daming Navy, we can still capture Goa. Evacuate this place immediately, and fight with Klon." Your fleets converge!"
Chen Xin issued a new order here.
As a result, the fleet of the Daming Navy immediately sailed westward and saw Cronl's Spanish fleet in the waters west of Goa.
The Portuguese commander of the Sino-Japanese trade fleet, Pesso, hurriedly returned to Goa with the Portuguese fleet.
However, to Peso's surprise, when he returned to Goa, he found no enemy fleet.
"The route to the Cape of Good Hope has indeed been blocked by them. They are all Spanish and Dutch fleets, but they cooperated very well. I did not dare to attack without authorization. I also suspected that they should be the fleet of one country, but they only attacked the fleets of different countries. The flag was used to paralyze us, and we took the opportunity to concentrate other forces to land in Goa while I transferred all the warships, so I withdrew in advance."
Peso said to Castro.
"It is true that a group of enemy troops suddenly landed after you left, but they were all Dutch, not Ming Dynasty or Spanish. They have been defeated by us and are now only entrenched in the surrounding islands."
Castro replied.
"Stupid Dutch, although they are good at trade, they are not good at war! Wait, did you just say that the Chinese and Spanish did not land?"
Peso asked rather cautiously as he spoke.
"Yes, no! We didn't dare to rashly pursue the defeated Dutch troops. We still stayed around the inner city, waiting for the Ming Dynasty or the Spaniards to come to rescue the Dutch and be ambushed by us. However, it was obvious that the other party's commander was cautious and did not continue Log in."
Castro nodded.
Then, Castro asked: "When you came back, did you encounter the Ming Dynasty's fleet?"
Peso shook his head.
"Oops! Cunning Ming people! I have reason to suspect that the commander of the Ming country was up to something in the situation I encountered before!"
Peso said with a frown.
"That said, we still can't take it lightly. The Ming Dynasty's fleet is indeed very powerful in naval battles!"
Castro said rather uneasily.
…
"The battle for the founding of our Ming Dynasty was a water war. Since then, you Westerners have never taken advantage of it. Now you want to set up an ambush for our Ming Navy. It is really fantastic! However, this Portuguese-Indian governor and his The commander of the fleet was quite capable and used his troops very cautiously. He told Kroner that if he did not want to be defeated like Albuquerque, he would have to unconditionally obey his general's orders and attack them all without batches. His Portuguese troops The warship has just arrived in Goa, and it is too late to evacuate now. I am afraid that its artillery has not had time to move back to the shore from the inner city, and it is up to us to catch the turtle in the urn! Defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!"
Chen Xin took off the telescope as he spoke here.
Kroner already knew about the defeat of Albuquerque's Dutch troops, but he did not dare to disobey Chen Xin's order. He hurriedly pressed towards the Goa Port with the fleet of the Ming Dynasty Navy, and immediately formed a line and headed directly towards Portuguese warships firing cannon in Goa harbor.
boom!
boom!
boom!
The sound of gunfire continued.
It didn't take long for the Portuguese warships on the Peso side to be severely damaged by six or seven galleons.
Naturally, Peso also asked his warships to fire back.
Castro has also begun arranging for people to move some of the guns that were moved to the inner city back to the shore forts to block Ming and Spanish warships.
However, both Peso and Castro found that neither the Ming Dynasty nor the Spanish warships were within the range of their artillery, and they could only be passively beaten.
Peso couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said: "Damn it! How can the artillery of the Ming fleet shoot so far? Send an order and return to the land. Even if the other side does not have the participation of the Dutch, there are still fifty warships. If the Dutch retreat to the islands outside, If the fleet comes again, we will be no match for it."
As a result, Pesso took his fleet ashore and gave up the idea of a naval battle with the Ming Dynasty and the Spanish fleet.
Chen Xin said on his side: "Tell Kroner to land immediately while the enemy is still unstable."
Kroner landed with Spanish soldiers.
Then, Chen Xin asked Shen Zhaoyun to lead the Ming Dynasty Guards Marine Corps to land after him.
The Portuguese defenders had previously withdrawn their shore artillery into the inner city, and now they did not carry many artillery pieces back to the shore fort. They were unable to prevent Chen Xin from landing. Therefore, Castro and Peso took the initiative to lead their troops to withdraw. Inner city of Goa.
Chen Xin, Kroner and others successfully occupied the shore position.
boom!
Next, because the Ming Dynasty Marines had huge cannons, they directly blasted away the inner city guarded by the Portuguese defenders and natives.
Then, because the Ming Dynasty naval marines plus Spanish soldiers and accompanying Japanese slaves and black slaves, these slave soldiers exceeded the Portuguese garrison in Goa, and Castro and Peso also realized that the opponent's firearms and equipment were inferior to theirs. superior.
Therefore, the Portuguese defenders and the native Goans who supported Portugal had to surrender.
The Eurasian Governor of the Netherlands, Albuquerque Chenxin, did not rescue him, so he had to lead his remaining soldiers and fled back to the sea, and then temporarily took refuge on an island.
However, after Albuquerque learned that the Ming Dynasty Navy and the Spanish fleet had another confrontation with Portuguese warships, he did not lead his fleet to fight. He was afraid of being defeated again.
But what Albuquerque did not expect was that without him, the Netherlands, the Ming Dynasty and Spain would achieve great victories, and successfully invade the inner city of Goa. It was the Portuguese who surrendered.
At first, the Dutch Eurasian Governor Albuquerque, who did not dare to show up again, was deeply afraid that the Netherlands would lose the opportunity to share the credit for the Ming Empire's recovery of Goa with Spain, so he hurriedly landed with the remaining troops and rushed over.
"General Chen, I'm sorry for my recklessness!"
Abu Kuei took the initiative and said a little embarrassedly.
Chen Xin said angrily: "Even if you lose the battle, the loan still has to be repaid!"
After hearing this, Abu Kui was quite embarrassed.
