"Wang Gui, is the imperial navy really coming to kill you?"
Excited voices sounded from behind. Brother Wang, also known as Wang Gui, quickly turned around and saw Xiaosan's father sitting on a wheelbarrow, being pushed by Xiaosan and coming here quickly.
"Yes, Uncle Liu!" Wang Gui quickly pointed his finger in the direction in front of him and replied, "The imperial navy has come in and is encircling and suppressing the red barbarians!"
"Look, look quickly!" After hearing this, Uncle Liu quickly urged his son, "Hurry up!"
"If you go any faster, the car will definitely overturn!" Liu Xiaosan replied breathlessly.
When Wang Gui heard this, he quickly replied: "No hurry, no rush, no rush for now."
While talking, he glanced at him with nostalgia, then hurried over to catch Uncle Liu, helped him get off the wheelbarrow, then supported him and walked quickly to the place he was looking at.
When Uncle Liu came over just now, he had already heard the sound of cannons.
On normal days, what he was most afraid of hearing was the sound of gunfire. But this time, he was very happy, which meant that the war against Hongyi was still going on and could still be watched.
Sure enough, at a glance, I could see that the Imperial Navy warships in my impression had entered the inner sea of Taijiang River and were launching an attack on the Hongyi warships.
"Boom boom boom..."
The rumbling sound of artillery, accompanied by gunpowder smoke, roared deafeningly.
Rows of small arson boats have also arrived in front of the imperial navy, and some arson boats have even begun to raise their sails in preparation for an attack.
What he could see was that two Dutch warships were leaning in the sea, and the Dutch on them were jumping into the sea holding logs and other things.
There were several Dutch warships that, although they did not tilt, were riddled with holes by iron bullets.
"Okay, okay!" Uncle Liu cheered loudly when he saw it.
Wang Gui turned to look at him and saw that he was very excited, with tears even faintly in his eyes.
Seeing this situation, Wang Gui couldn't help but sigh.
He knew that Uncle Liu's family originally lived in Luzon and lived a good life with their hard-working hands. However, the massacre that year killed almost everyone in Uncle Liu's family. In the end, only he and his youngest son escaped here.
He must have been dreaming about seeing Xiyi get beaten up! Wang Gui thought in his heart and did not speak. He turned back and looked at the scene in front of him silently.
To be honest, he liked watching it too.
Wang Gui fled from Fujian to Dayuan five or six years ago. Unexpectedly, he was caught by the red barbarians. He had to pay taxes and work for the red barbarians. If he didn't agree, he would kill people. He didn't treat them as human beings at all. He was suppressed. He was also out of breath.
Now that he had the opportunity to see Hongyi being beaten until he cried for his father and mother, he was of course very happy!
"Hey, did you see it? Did you see it?" Suddenly Liu Xiaosan shouted in surprise, "Hongyi actually surrendered, Hongyi actually surrendered!"
Yes, Wang Gui also saw it and was equally surprised.
The remaining Hongyi warships raised their white flags after seeing the arsonist ships in the Imperial Navy preparing to attack.
Obviously, if they don't surrender, they will end up in a burning fire.
"I really didn't expect that the imperial navy would become so powerful!" Uncle Liu said with emotion, "These are the Dutch Red Barbarians. They even dared to bully the Spanish Red Barbarians in Luzon, but now they are all Surrender to the Imperial Navy!"
"Yes, they have always been arrogant, and now they have surrendered!" Wang Gui said with emotion after hearing this.
………………
They did not expect this scene, and the Dutch Governor-General Caron also did not expect that the Dutch fleet would have such a day!
Moreover, the current Dutch fleet is unprecedentedly strong, reaching as many as twenty-five ships. But after the first battle, they were easily defeated by the Ming Navy, and then they were chased into the inland sea by the Ming Navy, and they were all taken away.
With such a huge defeat, even if the war is won in the end, he, the governor, will definitely not end well!
Thinking of this, Caron was a little confused. He obviously had a good plan, but why did he fail in the end?
How could it become like this?
Seeing that the Ming Navy was sending people to land on the Dutch fleet, Caron's eyes were fixed on the five warships emitting black smoke.
I don’t know what kind of warship this is. Not only can it not be afraid of the wind direction to the greatest extent, but the artillery on the ship is so powerful?
The failure of this battle was all caused by these five strange warships!
How could the Ming Dynasty have such strange warships?
He couldn't figure it out, and the Dutchmen under him couldn't figure it out either. They all looked at the annihilation of their fleet in stunned silence.
Oh, by the way, it's not like the whole army was wiped out. There were still a few ships that didn't escape back to the port from the beginning, but escaped. They probably had the foresight to know that they could not defeat the Ming Navy, so they ran away first!
Now that there is no fleet, what should the city of Relanja do? Can you still hold on?
Regarding this answer, many people are pessimistic, which can be seen from their dejection!
………………
Compared to them, everyone in the Ming Navy was in high spirits.
No one expected or thought that beating Xiyi would be so easy!
Thinking about the past, to fight these Western barbarians, you really had to rack your brains and think of various ways to deal with these Western barbarians. Even so, once they reach the vast sea, they can only look at the Xiyi warships and have nothing to do.
In the past, a few Western warships could show off their power along the coast of the Ming Dynasty, but now, haha, they have all surrendered!
"I am convinced by Duke Xingguo in my life!" Zheng Hongkui couldn't hide the smile on his face, and said to Zheng Chenggong, "I didn't expect this new skill to be so powerful? After transforming our navy, wow, it's so easy to use Got it!"
This time, even Zheng Chenggong was unsteady and said with a smile: "When I first met the Duke with His Royal Highness, I knew how powerful the Duke was. So I made up my mind from that time on. It’s just that you didn’t understand it at first, and I was scolded by my father!”
When Zheng Hongkui heard this, he remembered what had happened, and immediately laughed happily and said: "Haha, you still have the vision! Otherwise, when the court forms such a navy, our Zheng family will not be able to defeat it no matter what!"
At this point, he suddenly became solemn, patted Zheng Chenggong's shoulder with his hand, and said seriously: "The emperor and the prince value you very much, but you must work hard. You will definitely have a bright future in the future, better than me. He has a better future than your father!"
Zheng Chenggong listened and nodded vigorously. Ever since he was given the name "success", he has secretly made up his mind to work hard and succeed again and again!
Du Chen, the Portuguese governor in Haojing'ao who came over, could only understand a little bit of Ming Dynasty Mandarin. He wanted to know what the two Zheng family members were talking about, but they spoke in Fujian dialect and he couldn't understand it at all. Understand.
I was so anxious on the side that I was scratching my head a little. Finally looking for an opportunity and seeing the gap between their conversations, he quickly asked with a smile: "Two adults, can you let me go to that boat to have a look?"
As he spoke, he pointed not far away with his hand.
Zheng Chenggong didn't even need to look up to know that the Portuguese must want to see the steam paddle steamer.
And he was sure that the Portuguese wanted to see it, but was stopped by the Ming army soldiers.
So Zheng Chenggong asked him directly: "You also want this kind of warship? Do you want to learn from it?"
Upon hearing this, Du Chen's face turned red, but it disappeared immediately. He squeezed out a smile and said, "What the hell, it looks very good, I just want to take a look, just take a look!"
"Haha!" Zheng Chenggong laughed after hearing this, with a bit of ridicule. It would be strange if he couldn't see something so obvious!
His laughter made Du Chen's face turn red again.
"Do you still want to see why our artillery fires so far and so accurately?" Zheng Chenggong stared at the Xiyi and asked again.
Du Chen subconsciously wanted to deny it, but when he saw the look in Zheng Chenggong's eyes, he knew it was impossible to deny it, so he simply admitted it directly: "Your Excellency is wise!"
After flattering him, he squeezed out a smile and said: "You see, after all, we are fighting side by side, and we are all our own people. If you look at it, you won't be missing anything. Do you agree, sir?"
To be honest, this joint battle with the Ming army surprised him so much.
Not to mention the strange battleships and better artillery, he was shocked just because all the Ming reinforcements going south were equipped with flintlock guns.
You know, in the past, the Ming Dynasty was begging for muskets and artillery from the Portuguese. They would buy them no matter how expensive they were. But suddenly, why are theirs better?
When Zheng Chenggong heard what he said, his expression became serious and he said to him seriously: "I'll tell you the truth. If you want to own these new guns and warships of the Ming Dynasty, go to the capital and find Xingguo." Go talk to me. Whether Duke Xingguo will agree in the end depends on your sincerity!"
This was not his own initiative, but Duke Xingguo had stated in his letter that if the Portuguese sent troops to join the war, they would be given a chance to go to the capital to find him. If there are no troops sent to fight, then they will be dealt with by the enemy, and naturally there will be no way out.
Zheng Hongkui on the side didn't know. Hearing what he said, he frowned. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Zheng Chenggong continue to say: "The Duke said, if you Portuguese want to truly be independent from Spain, you have to do it right in front of you." An opportunity. Let you not be bullied by the Spanish and Dutch, and even be the overlord in your own country!"
As soon as he heard this, Zheng Hongkui understood that this must be the representative of Xingguo Bus, so he was not worried and just watched the show on the side.
Du Chen didn't expect to hear such words. He knew the Portuguese well. Unexpectedly, he was stunned.
