"Master Baylor, you can't kill him. The Zheng family's soldiers have just surrendered, and killing him at this time may cause bad things." The relatives around Boluo quickly persuaded him.Boluo thought for a while, put it away, kicked Zheng Du over and cursed: "Put it down and watch it."
In fact, not all the wealth of the Zheng family is in Anping City, this is just the ancestral home of the Zheng family, and Siming is the old nest of the Zheng family.Siming is the starting place of the Zheng family's trade, and most of Zheng Zhilong's wealth is stored in Jinmen Island.
It is not far from Anping to Siming, just over 100 miles away.However, Siming City was built on pirates, so it is not easy to attack from land. If there is a naval battle, Boluo is not fully sure now.
It is impossible to rely on Houjin's navy, and it is impossible to rely on the Zheng family's navy that has just surrendered.They only ordered Zheng Zhilong to surrender, but did not say to fight Siming.This kind of order cannot be given, and this kind of battle cannot be fought.
"Put everything on the ship and transport it to the north, and get out early." Boluo gave an order, and all the Houjin soldiers got busy.
This is Hong Chengchou's suggestion to Dorgon.Hou Jin also does not have the strength to attack Fujian, which is thousands of miles away, and landing operations are not something to play in this era.He just took advantage of Zheng Zhilong's surrender and wanted to take advantage of it.
......
"Fourth Uncle, how much did you lose in this battle?" Zheng Chenggong, who was still lying on the bed, was still weak and unable to sit up.
"Half of the warships and more than 3 troops." Zheng Hongkui said in a very disappointed tone with a straight face.
"I want to avenge my father and mother." Zheng Chenggong said through gritted teeth.
"How to report? We will definitely not be able to beat the Tartars now." Zheng Hongkui said helplessly.
"Report to Nanjing and ask for reinforcements."
"Will Nanjing take the opportunity to attack us?"
What Zheng Hongkui is most worried about now is not the Tartars. The Tartars do not have the strength to go south to Fujian, but Zhu Youjian can take his hand to go south.
Zheng Chenggong could not make an accurate judgment on this issue, so he could only remain silent.What Zheng Hongkui said was correct, the Zheng family is now a sick cat, and anyone who comes up to take a bite at this time will ask for a piece of meat from the Zheng family.Maybe it could kill the Zheng family.
"Report! The Dutch warship is coming." Before Zheng Chenggong could decide whether to report the Fujian incident to Nanjing, another bad news came.
This is a typical case of adding insult to injury, taking advantage of your illness to kill you!
"Help me up." Zheng Chenggong couldn't lie still, he struggled to get up.
"Sen'er, how can you command and fight with your body?" Zheng Hongkui said with a little hope.
The warships that the Zheng family did not surrender are now surrendered to Zheng Chenggong, and the army belongs to Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Cai who escaped. If Zheng Hongkui led the navy to resist the Dutch in this battle, then the remaining navy may belong to Zheng Hongkui .
"Does uncle want a navy?" Zheng Chenggong was not polite, he knew it very well.
"Sen'er is overthinking, uncle doesn't mean that." Zheng Hongkui blushed, prevaricating.
Zheng Chenggong's battle in Anping left him covered in injuries, and he couldn't take care of it in a short period of time, but due to the situation, he could only brace himself to get up and resist the Dutch.
The Dutch didn't have the strength to directly destroy the Zheng family. Even if the Zheng family had already lost half, the Dutch would not be able to take advantage of the coastal defense artillery.In the same way, if the Zheng family goes to attack Taiwan, they may not be able to conquer it. This is why Zheng Zhilong has not captured Taiwan for so many years.
The warships of this period were not powerful enough to attack land coastal defenses. At most, they could only rob merchant ships, or attack small cities without coastal defenses, such as Haizhou.
The Dutch came with ten ships, and Zheng Chenggong took almost all the warships to sea.The two sides encountered each other off the coast of Kinmen, and for a while there was a lot of gunfire.
"Master Guoxing, you still know the cabin." As the number one general next to Zheng Chenggong, Zhou Quanbin blocked the cabin door with all his strength, trying to prevent Zheng Chenggong from coming out.
The shells outside splashed the surrounding sea several feet high, and the deck of the ship was all wet. Zheng Chenggong's body could not withstand the environment on the deck at all.
"Zhou Quanbin, are you going to let me in or not? If you don't let me in, I will withdraw you." Zheng Chenggong stared at Zhou Quanbin desperately. The two young people were very angry, and Liu Guoxuan who was also standing beside him was lighting a fire. cannon.
"Boom!" Zhou Quanbin and Zheng Chenggong were shocked and fell to the ground on the spot.
"Liu Guoxuan, what the hell are you doing?" Zhou Quanbin got up and slapped Liu Guoxuan.
Liu Guoxuan hugged his head for a while, then slowly glanced into the distance, and then smiled with a row of white teeth.Zheng Chenggong walked out slowly with a walking stick, and he was happy to see it.Just now, Liu Guoxuan's shot directly aimed at the mast of a Dutch warship.
"Good job! You're not bad. What's your name?" Zheng Chenggong was overjoyed. Now he was worried that he would not have his cronies and subordinates. He hoped that more young people could show their talents.And Liu Guoxuan was just 17 years old this year.
"Qi Guo's surname is Lord, this kid is called Liu Guoxuan, he is a bold bastard." Zhou Quanbin introduced Zheng Chenggong when he saw that Liu Guoxuan liked him.
"Okay! You boy will follow me from now on and be my personal guard." Zheng Chenggong loves talents and wants to be promoted.
"I still like being on a boat." Liu Guoxuan muttered.
"What did you say?" Zheng Chenggong didn't hear clearly.
"The surname is to serve the country, I still like to serve as a soldier on the ship." Liu Guoxuan said again loudly.
"Well, if you break another Dutch mast, I will let you stay on board." Zheng Chenggong said with a serious face, but he was actually very happy in his heart.
Chapter 286: Killing you while you are sick
The Dutch warships are fast, have a lot of artillery fire, and have a long range.Basically, it can hang the Zheng family's warship to fight.The Zheng family's navy intends to encircle the opponent with the tactics of encirclement, but most of the time the encirclement has not yet been formed, the enemy has already jumped out, and the own side continues to suffer losses.
Zheng Chenggong asked Liu Guoxuan to break the mast with a cannon, which is undoubtedly a dream.His shot just now was really a coincidence. This kind of result that was completely dependent on luck was purely used by Zheng Chenggong to embarrass Liu Guoxuan.
The current Zheng Family Navy is in a dilemma.I can't fight again and again, and I will only be bullied by the Dutch even more after I retire, which is equivalent to being roasted on the fire.The Dutch were also smart enough to send a small fleet, which was not a decisive battle at all, but the ten large ships could just arouse Zheng Chenggong's appetite.
The opponents are all monkeys and monkeys, and none of them are the vulnerable useless ones in Shuangwen.
Liu Guoxuan worked hard for a long time, and fired all the cannons, and only a few shells hit the enemy's warship, causing little damage. The most serious thing was that it burned one of his front sails.
The battle lasted for a whole day, and the two sides fought in circles off the coast of Kinmen for an unknown number of rounds, with neither victory nor defeat.Seeing that it was getting dark, Zheng Chenggong had no choice but to withdraw his troops and fight a naval battle at night in this era?That's a joke!
"Master Guoxing, the wound on your body has burst open again." The doctor carefully bandaged Zheng Chenggong again. He was once again covered in blood, but this time it was all from his own blood.
The night was very dark, without any starlight, the whistling sea breeze was blowing the surrounding vegetation, and bursts of salty moisture were mixed in the air.The waves beat against the hull, making a loud noise.
On the largest warship of the Zheng family, Zheng Chenggong bandaged his wounds and summoned his current three generals: Zhou Quanbin, Gan Hui, and Feng Xin.
Three of Zheng Chenggong's Five Tiger Generals in history have now arrived. Shi Lang, who is the best fighter, has gone to the capital, and Liu Guoxuan, who is the second best fighter, is still a small soldier.
"My surname, the Dutch must have seized the opportunity to capture Penghu." Seeing Zheng Chenggong's miserable state, Zhou Quanbin didn't want to express his frustration at first, but the successive failures did affect the morale of the whole army.
"If we continue to fight like this tomorrow, our soldiers will be overtired." Feng Xin also felt that his morale was not enough. He lost Anping a few days ago, and then fought a naval battle with no results. Some people in the Zheng family navy are already questioning Zheng Chenggong leadership ability.Although he is the eldest son of the Zheng family, he is still young and has never been in charge of the family himself.
"I'm afraid of a bird! At worst, I will fight them." Gan Hui is a person with a strong personality, and he refuses to admit defeat.Therefore, Gan Hui in history was the only general among the five tigers who died heroically.
"Don't talk about it, this battle is a face-to-face battle for our navy. If we retreat, how will the navy survive in the future?" Zheng Chenggong knew very well that he had to fight this battle.
"If we fight again tomorrow, I will personally lead my troops to approach the enemy's warships. I must sink one of their warships." Zheng Chenggong had no choice. Or you can only risk your life to approach the enemy and fight with the opponent in a life-for-life way.
Judging from the opponent's tactics during the day today, it is obvious that they set fire to attack the ship after deliberately avoiding the siege of the Zheng family's navy.Now Zheng Chenggong is left with the only way to fight with his life.
"Master Guoxing, let us go!" Several generals immediately called for a fight.
Zheng Chenggong stopped everyone from talking, and said seriously: "If I am timid and afraid of getting into trouble, who else in the Zheng Family Navy will think highly of me?"
Liu Guoxuan, who was standing outside on duty, heard his blood boil. He knew that he would go to the battlefield with Zheng Chenggong tomorrow. The passion that burst out from the bottom of his heart made him feel full of strength.
The next day, the Dutch appeared in the open sea again at noon, and apparently the other party got supplies again.According to the schedule, their supplies can only be sent by boat from Penghu.
