"What a waste. Surrendering so quickly, at least let me enjoy the pleasure of a few shots."
The biochemical gunner who had just fired complained.
As a specially equipped gunner, he shoots rubbish like Hongyi Cannon every day. It's like letting an adult play with a 3-year-old child's toys every day, not to mention how uncomfortable it is.
"Come on, there are only so many shells. After shooting, where can I find shells for you?"
Zhu Dinghai said angrily.
"Give me the order and find a few people who can speak Chinese to come over and tell them not to move, otherwise they will be sent to the West with one shot."
"Give the order and get ready for battle. The five fleets are staring at each other's ship. Before the ship approaches, let the other side tie each other up. If the other side dares to resist, kill them on the spot."
Although the opponent surrendered quickly, they are not afraid of deception and the opponent's main force still exists. If the opponent makes the wrong choice, he will suffer serious losses if he is not prepared.
It is not easy to train sailors, and if you don't lose one of your own, it will be a huge loss.
What's more, most of the sailors participating in the war were trained by themselves.
They are all his brothers, and every time one of them is lost, Zhu Dinghai feels heartbroken.
"Hurry up, put on the bamboo armor." The soldiers on the quickly selected warship began to get busy.
Although it is called a bamboo armor, it is actually just a pile of bamboo pieces bound with wire. Hanging it on the chest plays a simple protective role.
This is not because Ming Dynasty was stingy and was reluctant to equip soldiers with iron armor and cotton armor.
In fact, naval warfare is different from land warfare.
Wearing iron armor or cotton armor has strong defense.
But falling into the water means that the soldier will die.
Although the simple bamboo armor has a slightly poor defense, it can still play a certain protective role. Even if you unfortunately fall into the water, it can also be used as a lifebuoy.
Compared to other forces that do not equip naval soldiers with armor, it is already much stronger.
Soon, 9 large blessing ships and 45 medium-sized blessing ships were divided into 9 groups and headed towards the Xiyi fleet. The soldiers on the ship are on standby and will deal a heavy blow to the opponent as long as there is any abnormality on the other side.
The gunners of the Dinghai stood ready and stared at Xiyi's warship with vigilance.
"What a cautious Ming army." Seeing the Ming army ships getting closer and closer, Naluo couldn't help but sigh.
"Send the order, the Musketeers are ready." Nallo ordered in a low voice.
Although the Ming army was prepared, Naluo was still unwilling to surrender.
Naluo was not a fool, although he had heard about the preferential treatment of prisoners in the Ming Dynasty.
But Nalo was not an ordinary soldier. If he really surrendered without firing a shot, as the commander of the fleet, he would definitely not be punished.
But it would be better to have your future ruined than to go back and suffer the consequences of jail. Nalo preferred to take a gamble.
What if we can win? What if the Ming army is just paper?
Not only would he not be punished for bringing it with him, but he might even be rewarded for bringing such an advanced cannon back.
"Why are you Ming Dynasty so stubborn? We Dutch just want to do business with you, but we only occupy a piece of your land the size of a cowhide? How big is your Celestial Empire?"
"You understand Chinese, right? You will stand on the bed and shout in a moment, asking them to tie themselves up with ropes. Otherwise, we will sink them directly." When the Dingjiang was about 20 meters away from the Missi Fort, the Dingjiang The captain pointed at the Xiyi prisoners on the side and ordered.
On the deck of the Xiyi ship, although it seems that there is no problem, who knows whether the other party will directly choose to blow up the ship while everyone is on the ship and die together?
The fate of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty is not comparable to that of these barbarians!
"Send the order, gunner, be prepared. If the other party dares to take action, he will blow it up to death."
"..."
"Sir, this group of Mingren are really bullying people." On the Missi Fort, Naluo's deputy complained to Naluo.
In recent years, we have relied on strong ships and powerful guns.
White men roamed the oceans unchecked.
In their view, the ocean is the territory of white people. When will it be Ming's turn to show off his power?
You also asked us to tie ourselves up, you are really treating yourself like an onion.
"What should I do? Should I tie him up?" Naluo's heart was full of contradictions.
Tie them up, the people hiding in the cabin will definitely not be able to withstand the Ming army's attack.
Don't tie him up. Who knows if the Ming army will send him and his boat to the sky with one shot.
Naluo had lingering fears about the Ming Dynasty's cannons.
At such a long distance just now, the Ming army could sink one of its own warships with two cannons. Now the distance is so close...
"God's will cannot be violated. Let everyone follow the requirements of the Ming army." Naluo finally chose to surrender.
With Nalo's surrender. The remaining Dutch warships also chose to surrender.
This naval battle ended with the Ming Dynasty's complete victory.
In this battle, the Ming Dynasty sent more than 500 warships and more than 30,000 soldiers.
In the end, more than 60 soldiers were killed and 13 warships were sunk. Fortunately, all the sunken warships were eagle ships.
Almost all of the 100 large and medium-sized warships were injured.
But the delivery is also huge. Sunk 15 Western warships, captured 30 Western warships, sank more than 50 pirate ships, and captured 100 pirate ships.
2,000 Xiyi people and nearly 10,000 pirates were captured.
Judging from the battle loss ratio alone, it can definitely be regarded as a great victory.
However, Zhu Dinghai did not rush to Pride, but made a calm judgment.
In this battle, the main reason why our losses were so low was that, in addition to our powerful equipment, we caught the opponent by surprise.
Otherwise, the other party did not expect that they would hide the eagle ship used for offshore operations, or the pirates were not in chaos first, or their men were equipped with a large number of grenade launchers.
If it hadn't been for the intimidation of the Super Invincible General, it would have been impossible to win so easily and so completely.
If we fight openly and openly with the opponent on the sea, even if we can win, the losses will not be small.
However, victory is victory, no matter how unfair it is, no matter how many conspiracies are used in the middle.
As long as you win, that's good.
Zhu Dinghai will naturally not be stingy with rewards.
"Send the order and everyone returns to Fuzhou."
Although the secret guards have only initially established an intelligence network in Southeast Asia, they cannot understand high-level secrets.
But he still has a certain understanding of the Xiyi military strength.
45 warships are already all the troops that Xiyi can mobilize in Southeast Asia.
Combined with what the Zheng family said, after this war is over, unless the Western Yi give up their interests in other parts of Southeast Asia and fight with the Ming Dynasty to death.
Otherwise, it would not be a threat to Ming Dynasty at all.
Moreover, the Western Yi came all the way to seek wealth, not to die. In this battle, the Ming Dynasty killed 45 warships of the opponent and hundreds of pirates who had surrendered to the opponent.
It also completely captured 9 of the opponent's warships, which can serve as a reference for Ming Dynasty's future ship design and construction.
