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

Chapter 812

"The Zheng family surrendered to Yang Menglong!?"

In Chihan City, Kui stared at the spies who came back to report with disbelief. He looked like he wanted to eat someone!
The spies said: "Yes! Zheng Zhilong disappeared after the defeat. All affairs in Xiamen were decided by his eldest son. That boy is a coward. Yang Menglong surrendered, and handed over all the foundation laid down by his father to Yang Menglong!"

Kui Yi let out an angry roar, and kicked over the tea table made of rosewood. The exquisite tea set on the coffee table, even the royal family and nobles in Europe, might not have the blessing to enjoy it, rolled to the ground and fell. smash.He had no time to feel sorry for the heavy loss he had unintentionally caused, his whole body was bursting with horrific anger, he kept roaring, and dropped several expensive tableware in a row.

Damn Zheng's group, how could they surrender to Yang Menglong so quickly! ?
Although the Zheng Group has suffered several major defeats, but Zheng Zhilong's family is so rich, and Xiamen is a famous fortified city, it is not a problem to stick to it for a year or so.All the plans of the Dutch and the Spaniards were based on the fact that the Zheng Group and the Heluo New Army had no time to take care of Taiwan. It would not be a problem for Yang Menglong to spend a year and a half. With this period of time, it was enough for them to calmly conquer the whole of Taiwan. Kui Yi even started to plan to swallow the Spanish territory after conquering Taiwan, and turn Taiwan into the first Dutch territory in East Asia. Colonial plan!Taiwan is a pearl inlaid in the South China Sea. It has a pleasant climate, fertile land, and abundant products. The Dutch have coveted it for a long time. How can such a treasure land be shared by others!
Batavia was in favor of his plan.The Dutch have no psychological burden at all when it comes to annexing the territory of their partners. I believe that if they had the strength, the Spaniards would devour the Dutch without hesitation.The Governor of Batavia believed that Spain's strength was no longer what it used to be. The combat effectiveness of both the navy and the army had declined greatly. They were no match for the Dutch. Even if they took away Spain's territory in Taiwan, I believe the Spanish I can only knock out my front teeth and swallow them in my stomach. I don't dare to attack the Dutch who are at their peak. In this case, why not eat them?Kui Yi, who had received the support of the Governor of Batavia, was full of energy and motivation. He rolled up his sleeves and prepared to go big and achieve something great. Who knew that as soon as he started, he heard the Zheng Group shaking hands with Yang Menglong and making peace? bad news!
Now Kui Yi wants to cry but has no tears, tears streaming down his face.During this period of time, how many Chinese villages have been razed by the Dutch and the Spaniards, and how many Taiwanese aborigines have been massacred?This is not in Africa, what they have provoked is the Ming Empire with the largest territory, the largest population, and the strongest financial resources in the world!Once these things are exposed, Da Ming will be furious, maybe they can't bear it and walk away!
In fact, Da Ming didn't need to be furious, Yang Menglong could make them bleed like rivers in a fit of anger.Kui Yi has dealt with Yang Menglong for a long time, and he knows this guy's character very well.Thinking of Yang Menglong's brilliant achievements in Liaodong, Denglai, and Yiluo Valley, and thinking of the terrifying fighting power of the Heluo New Army that completely defeated the giant Zheng's group in less than a month, Governor Kui Yi was under great pressure, sweating profusely, sweating waterfalls, Genghis Khan!Even if he wants to turn back now, it is impossible for him to kill so many Taiwanese aborigines. With Yang Menglong's temper, will he let him go?Unless the sun comes out in the west, the spring water flows to the top of the mountain!
How to do?
Governor Kui Yi took women as the center of the circle in his heart, and greeted Yang Menglong and Zheng Zhilong's [-]th generation ancestors one by one with the nine generations of ancestors as the radius.In desperation, he ordered: "Stop cleaning the settlements of Taiwan's aborigines, hurry up and build fortifications, and get ready for battle!"

That is to say, he doesn't care about the situation in Xiamen, and he will occupy the current territory first.However, he was still a little guilty, and immediately wrote another letter, asking for help from the governor of Batavia, asking the governor to send more warships and more sailors. Spit it out.

As for whether the governor can allocate more troops and warships to him, that is not his concern.

The Banda Sea is more than 2000 miles away from Taiwan.

The vast and fertile continent of Australia has been left behind, and Yao Chonggu is directing his expedition fleet towards the Strait of Malacca.Now his boat is filled with all kinds of ores, crop seeds, and plant specimens. These things are all collected by him in the Australian mainland and various islands. They will become powerful evidence to prove this virgin land to everyone. of abundance.He even brought some kangaroos, two thylacines, two bandicoots, two platypuses, a seal and three penguins.It's a pity that the seal was really easy to serve, and died before entering the Banda Sea. However, the kangaroos, bandicoots, platypus, and penguins are living well under the care of several Australian aborigines. I believe they will be able to return alive. Guangzhou's.Now Yao Chonggu is playing with a platypus in his arms. This little thing looks ugly in appearance, but after you get familiar with it, you will think it is actually quite cute. Yao Chonggu will always play with it for a while when he is free .The platypus was quite familiar with him, and was not afraid of him at all. It kept rubbing against the back of his hand with its flat mouth, very intimately, which made Yao Chonggu laugh.

The Dutch adventure ship lagged behind, indifferently.In Australia, because the Dutch hunted and killed all kinds of rare animals to make specimens, and even hunted and killed Australian aborigines, several conflicts broke out with Chinese sailors. The relationship between the two sides was very bad. It is also impossible.What made Yao Chonggu most uncomfortable was the gloomy gaze of the Dutchman. He had heard a lot of black and white things in the sea for many years, and even did it himself. How could Yao Chonggu not guard against it?He told the sailors to be vigilant, but don't let the Dutchman be overwhelmed.

Fortunately, the relationship is bad, the Dutch are still very aware of the dangers at sea, and their ship is prone to accidents, so they must find a partner, so they can still coexist peacefully with Yao Chonggu's fleet.However, now that they are about to reach the Strait of Malacca, and are about to enter their own territory, the Chinese are no longer of use to them. Now they are starting to think about whether they can destroy Yao Chonggu's fleet, so as not to be in the colony. In Australia, they recruited Daming, a formidable opponent.Who wouldn't want to eat such a fat piece of meat?With the strength of the Dutch, it is too difficult to compete with Ming for this continent, they must take precautions before they happen!
Yao Chonggu's expedition fleet entered a narrow headland one after the other.The headland is surrounded by dense reefs, the channel is narrow, coupled with the strong sea wind, it can be described as dangerous. If one is not careful, the sea wind may blow to the rocks and smash them to pieces.The Chinese sailors concentrated on steering the rudder and controlling the sails, for fear of accidents.They didn't notice that behind them, 300 meters away, the Dutch ship had crossed the hull and lifted the gun coat...

The cannonballs were loaded, and the captain showed a terrible grin and said loudly, "Farewell, Yao!"

Before he finished speaking, he was horrified to see a cloud of white smoke rising from the stern of Yao Chonggu's Hailong ship, and a flash of orange fire, boom boom!Two shells flew towards them in a spiral!
The Sea Dragon is firing at them!
The captain turned pale with a swipe, God, these Chinese people are the first to act first!
Boom boom boom boom!
The Dutchman's guns on the port side opened fire at the same time, the sound was like rolling thunder, and more than a dozen shot balls screamed all the way and smashed towards the Sea Dragon!Their movements were not too slow. When the gunner of the Hailong pulled the gun rope, he also ignited the fuse of the naval gun. This is a good thing, the two sides have completely torn their skins!

With two loud bangs, two large holes were dug out of the left hull of the Dutch warship, and the flames swelled out. The Dutch sailors in the cabin were blown to pieces, and the violent vibration made the whole warship cramp. The bumps started, and many sailors suddenly became gourds.And two of the shells they fired also hit, and the ship's mast was hit with sawdust. A sailor was hit in the head by the bouncing shot put, his brain burst, and he died on the spot.

Yao Chonggu was furious: "Damn Xiyi...fire! We must not let them escape!"

The Dutch captain was screaming: "Turn right! Attack them with the starboard gun, and never let them fire another shell!" The two guns just now scared him. The damn Chinese are actually equipped with such advanced cannons. Almost every shot within 300 meters!The shells fired are still powerful explosive shells!Let them fire two more shots, and their crew will only have to feed the fish in the sea!
Bang bang bang!

There was a burst of gunshots, and more than a dozen musketeers of the Heluo New Army shot at them with their muskets. Pointed lead bullets roared in. Immediately, two more sailors were hit, and a large cloud of blood exploded on their bodies. wailing.After receiving two shots first, and then another volley of guns, the Dutchman became a little flustered and turned the hull in a panic, trying to use the starboard artillery that had already been loaded to deal with the Sea Dragon.But before they showed the starboard cannon, boom boom!The two deadly 85mm cannons at the stern of the Hailong rang again. One shell missed, and the other landed on the deck and exploded. , It's a white phosphorous bomb!Yao Chonggu only had six rounds of this weapon, and he was afraid that the sound of the cannon might attract nearby Dutch warships, so he wanted a quick victory, so he used it.These high-priced white phosphorus bombs did not disappoint him. After one shot, the deck of the Dutch adventure ship that had been unlucky to his grandma’s house was covered in flames. Hissing and wailing, he jumped off the deck desperately and into the sea.The rigging and sails burned violently, and the flames soared into the sky!

Two more shots were added to the Hailong, and now it is well, and the cabin has become a sea of ​​flames. The Dutch sailors who were trapped by the fire on the deck and could not get out were scorched on the outside and tender on the inside, and their screams were earth-shattering.The gunpowder barrels were burned one after another, causing violent explosions, and the entire hull deformed, cracked, and tilted amidst the deafening explosion noise...

Yao Chonggu rushed to the Dutch adventure ship that sank quickly and took a sip of phlegm: "Bah, what is it, you want to blackmail me with this little ability? I don't even ask Master Yao what I used to do!"

The first mate also scolded: "Overestimate one's abilities! Play tricks and eat tricks? I am your ancestor!"

Yao Chonggu said: "Don't talk nonsense with them, let a few small boats go down, kill the guys who jumped into the sea, and leave no one behind!"

Immediately, two small boats were released, and with a stroke of the oars, they sailed towards the Dutch sailors who were fighting with the fierce fish that smelled blood.The Dutch sailors were overjoyed when they saw this, and almost cried and swam towards the small boats, shouting repeatedly: "Help, help!" They completely forgot that they wanted to kill the Chinese adventure fleet just now...

It is a pity that the Chinese adventure fleet has not forgotten, so what awaits these hapless Dutch sailors is not a helping hand, but a black hole in the muzzle...

After a burst of gunshots, all the Dutch sailors who dived to escape turned into dead bodies floating on the sea. Swordfish, sharks and other extremely ferocious fish rushed towards them with the smell of blood, blooming in large pieces.This kind of scene is undoubtedly bloody and terrifying, but whether it is the soldiers of the Heluo New Army or the sailors of Yao Chonggu, they all expressed their calmness. Whether it is fighting or seeking life at sea, which one has few lives?Only a few people died this time, what a joke!After confirming that there were no survivors, the adventure fleet set sail again and left quickly, leaving only a pile of corpses and swordfish and sharks chasing the corpses...

The Dutch Australian Expedition Fleet was destroyed.
