I'm really not the carpenter emperor

Just as one foot stepped out of the threshold, Nan Juyi shouted from behind him.

The Dutch diplomat turned his head and saw Nan Juyi's respectful face, and said with a smile:

"Please forgive me, it was the emperor's will just now."

"How to say?" The other party hurriedly asked, rather impatiently.

Nan Juyi had a panoramic view of these red-haired barbarians, and he became more confident in his heart, so he smiled and said:

"I would also like to ask your Excellency, the diplomat, to repeat that my Majesty has allowed Daming to trade with the Netherlands and become friends."

Hearing this, the diplomat's eyes lit up immediately, he seemed quite satisfied, and left with a big laugh.

When the Dutch delegation left, the smile on Nan Juyi's face gradually froze, and said:

"Penghu is the gateway to Zhangquan, and Beigang is the lips and teeth of Penghu. If Beigang is lost, the lips will die and the teeth will be cold. Not only Penghu is worrying, but Zhangquan is also worrying."

"Now Zhongzuo is blocked by Hongmao's fleet, Yu Shuai, is there any way to break it?"

Yu Zigao had already made a plan in his mind, he put the capital documents aside, stepped forward a few steps, but he was still behind Nan Juyi, and said seriously:

"The emperor's decree, my Ming Dynasty, every inch of land will fight!"

"Every inch of land must be fought!" Wang Mengxiong shouted.

When the voice fell to the ground, Yu Zigao continued:

"My opinion is that Futai and I will immediately issue a notice to gather the land and water armies in Fujian to completely annihilate the first batch of invading red-haired barbarians in Penghu!"

"This time, we are fighting with the same momentum. No matter how many troops are mobilized and how much military resources are spent, these red-haired barbarians will be wiped out!"

"Tell Westerners that Daming is not easy to mess with. Next time you come, think carefully!"

"Correct!"

When the generals heard the words, they asked for battle one after another, very excited.

Nan Juyi nodded slightly, then realized something, and added: "No, when the time comes, I still have to let a few go, otherwise who will send the letter?"

"Hahaha--"

The generals laughed loudly.

……

The next day.

Fujian governor Nan Juyi and Fujian general Yu Zigao decided to implement the plan. The former threw a big banquet and invited the Dutch delegation to come to the banquet.

During the banquet, when singing and dancing were loud, the sharp soldiers of the Ming army who had been ambushing on both sides rushed out together, and subdued the panic-stricken Dutch diplomats and others.

At the same time, the Ming army in Fujian Xingdusi, Yanping Mansion, Fuzhou Mansion, Quanzhou Mansion and other places heard the news and moved.

Meihua Yuhai Qianhusuo, Dajin Yuhai Qianhusuo, Pinghaiwei, and the fleets of the Fujian Navy also received the military order of Yu Zigao, the Fujian general, to order the ships and set sail to sea.

All of a sudden, along the coast of Fujian, the various units of the Ming army mobilized one by one, and there was a great potential for war.

……

That night, off the coast of Fujian, a waning moon hangs in the clear sky.

The vast ocean is so silent, with occasional wisps of sea breeze blowing the mast.

Under the waning moon, Yu Zigao was personally leading a small fleet of more than [-] ships, quietly approaching the Dutch ships that blocked the Zhongzuo.

Yu Zigao stood on the Cangshan boat, holding the rudder tightly, grasping the direction of the ship, his eyes were firm, but for some reason, he was always nervous.

Not far away, several large sailing ships about twenty feet long came into view.

Yu Zigao watched with binoculars, and his expression gradually became serious. There were eight Dutch ships blocking the Zhongzuo, and they had three such ships.

"What kind of ship is this?"

He could clearly see that the three twenty-foot-long warships were equipped with cannons on both sides, whether light or heavy, the number alone was dozens of times that of one of his navy Cangshan warships.

"Boom--"

Accompanied by unease, the first naval battle between Ming and He broke out suddenly off the coast of Fujian.

This time, the Fujian navy, which had been prepared for a long time, assembled the most it could mobilize in a short period of time, a total of 86 large and small warships.

Taking advantage of the night, they attacked eight Dutch ships that were blocked.

In terms of the number of crew members, there are more than [-] Fujian navy warships, carrying nearly [-] sailors, while the opponent's warships are only eight, and the crew is only a hundred or so.

No matter how you look at it, this is a war that should be one-sided.

But the fact is the opposite.

Although Yu Zigao has rich experience in naval battles, he has never fought against the Dutch, and he does not know the combat methods of the opponent's fleet, which makes him passive.

And more importantly, the fighting power of those three unknown warships is really too strong...

Chapter 2 and Four: The Ambition of "Zheng Zhilong"

Although there were not many Dutch ships, Yu Zigao had never expected the intensity of firepower.

Accompanied by the sound of rumbling guns, monstrous waves rose up on the sea under the moonlight, engulfing a small civilian fishing boat recruited in an instant.

More than [-] officers and soldiers of the Fujian Navy were sucked into the waves. Their screams were just the accompaniment of the Dutch's crazy artillery fire.

Yu Zigao suddenly realized that he had made a serious mistake.

This kind of small fishing boat should not be recruited into the navy at all, and even pulled to the sea to fight, because they have almost no effect, they can only be reduced to fish, and let the Dutch warships slaughter them!

Judging the combat effectiveness of the two fleets based solely on the number of ships and the size of the crew is the lowest mistake a naval commander can make.

Fortunately, he is still the son of a famous general, and the rest of the generals would laugh their ass off when such a thing was told.

Yu Zigao was full of annoyance and remorse, but the Dutch's counterattack would not end. Facing dozens of times the Fujian navy, they had no intention of retreating at all, just like seeing their prey.

"Peng!"

A shell fired from the Galen warship landed on the head of the flagship where Yu Zigao was located without warning.

Several sailors who were loading lead bullets there suddenly turned into corpses.

The rest of the navy officers and soldiers hurried forward and dragged the corpses out of the broken bow. Seeing the appearance of these corpses, everyone was silent.

These dead officers and soldiers all had torn clothes, unkempt faces, their faces could not be seen clearly, and they all lacked some flesh and blood to varying degrees.

Yu Zigao waved his hand, signaling the officers and soldiers to throw the corpses from the boat into the sea.

The Dutch counterattack continued, Yu Zigao stood on the flagship, watched the hellish scene on the sea, and clenched his fists.

Facing the Dutch galleons, the Fujian navy had nothing to do, and even the heaviest Fran cannon had far insufficient range.

A Dutch galleon rushed into the fleet of the Fujian Navy confidently.

The Dutch commander standing at the bow uttered a roar, and the gun on the left side fired, easily sinking a Cangshan warship that was fighting with it.

At this time, a small Huolong assault ship charged violently, and it was full of more than [-] sailors and soldiers who were planning to grab the ship.

These officers and soldiers are not afraid of life and death, and they will spend more than [-] lives in the final struggle with the Dutch colonists!

Yu Zigao's eyes lit up, he stared at the fire dragon boat closely, his panting became more and more heavy, and he let out a low growl:

"Board, board!"

Suddenly, the Dutch Galen warship turned around, aimed its right cannon at the dragon boat, and soon fired another round.

The smell of gunpowder smoke gradually dissipated, and the sea level returned to calm. The fire dragon boat and more than [-] officers and soldiers of the Fujian Navy on it disappeared into the vast sea.

The flag of Ming Dynasty, shattered by the bombardment, was floating on the sea, and was picked up by a Dutchman on a Galen ship.

The Dutchman hung his flag on the tip of his gun, pointed with his finger, and laughed ironically.

Seeing this, Yu Zigao's liver and gallbladder were shattered, and he no longer had the heart to continue fighting. This is not fighting, this is sending him to death!

Although he was dissatisfied, he still made the most correct decision as soon as possible:

"Back, fast back—"

In his view, leaving early can still save some losses.

After this battle, the entire Fujian Navy will no longer have any contempt for the Dutch and those Western colonists.

Of the eight warships, only three of them were real Galenic warships, they defeated more than [-] Fujian Navy warships that attacked at night without any casualties.

What kind of gap is this in terms of navigation technology and shipboard artillery?

The news was sent back to Zhongzuo Institute, and the whole Fujian was shaken. For a while, there was a sudden request for assistance from the imperial court.

These red-haired fans are not something that Fujian can compete with. It is better to pass the news back to the capital, and ask Your Majesty to send troops to help!

Such a voice is actually the voice of most officials.

Fujian governor Nan Juyi was silent after hearing the news, and did not reprimand Yu Zigao who commanded the battle.

He sneered, and said to those who asked for the support of the imperial court:

"With just a few red-haired fans, the civilian and military generals in Fujian have nothing to do?"

"If we don't seek to make progress, we may be like the barbarians in Liaodong, watching the sky from a well and constantly falling behind!"

"You don't need to ask Your Majesty, I, Nan Juyi, even if I gather the strength of the whole province, I will capture Hong Maofan's warships and firearms. Let's see how powerful they are!"

"If you can't get rid of these red-haired fans, I, Nan Juyi, ask myself to be dismissed, and I will never enter an official career again!"

"A few red-haired fans are all scared like this??"

When the voice fell to the ground, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to say a word.

Some people were really ashamed by Nan Juyi's words, and they planned to be angry, while some were secretly ridiculing.

Since you, Nan Juyi, have said this, we naturally have nothing to say, since you will be responsible for all the crimes anyway.

When the time comes, the court will blame you, and you, Nan Juyi, will be responsible. What does it have to do with all of us?

……

Ever since he saw the power of the Dutch warships, Yu Zigao, the Fujian general, has devoted himself to studying and thinking hard about the strategy to defeat the enemy.

He found some businessmen who often went to sea to inquire about the situation of the Dutch fleet.

Finally, from the mouth of a Fujian businessman named Shen Congshi, he learned the basic information of the Dutch fleet.

Shen Congshi said that the Dutch fleet had assembled in the Spice Islands before, with a total of fifteen ships, including seven Galen warships of the Royal Netherlands Navy.

The commander-in-chief of this fleet is Lei Yeshan sent by the Dutch East India Company, and there is also an admiral of the Royal Navy named Gao Wenlu under him.

Although the latter is a subordinate of Lei Yeshan, it does not belong to the East India Company.

Before taking the initiative, he attacked the commander of the fleet flying the Zheng's flag when carrying out Lei Yeshan's order to block Zhongzuosuo Port.

After that, Shen Congshi made another match and introduced Yu Zigao to a person who also had deep-rooted hatred for the Dutch——Zheng Yiguan.

Both Yu Zigao and Zheng Yiguan intended to deal with the Dutch.

The emperor issued a decree, and the imperial court was bound to repel or annihilate these Dutch invaders in order not to disgrace the prestige of the country.

However, with the current capabilities of the Fujian Navy, it is simply not enough to fight the Dutch head-on. Since they cannot win the battle head-on, they must resort to some small tricks.

As for Zheng Yiguan, he wanted to avenge the sneak attack and cut Gao Wenlu himself to pay homage to the brothers of the Zheng family.

The Zheng family has not developed very much now, but because it is backed by the banner of Li Dan, its energy in the southeast is already not small.

The two have the same interests and the same purpose, and they reached a cooperation without saying a few words after meeting.

Zheng Yiguan is Zheng Zhilong, the famous pirate leader in later generations. He has not changed his name to Zheng Zhilong this year.

Not long ago, Zheng Yiguan was recruited by Cohen, the chief executive of the Dutch East India Company, and made friends with him and became a director.

However, because of Gao Wenlu's unauthorized attack on Zheng's fleet, Zheng Yiguan suffered a lot of losses, and he always kept this in mind.

Hearing that the Fujian Navy was out to defeat the North, Zheng Yiguan hated that iron could not be made of steel, but he also had a plan in mind, planning to fight the Dutch together with the Fujian Navy.

However, he has great ambitions. Apart from taking revenge, he also wants to use the court to fuel his own development.

Therefore, Zheng Yiguan wanted to claim the name of an official merchant in the southeast waters for his Zheng family, shed his pirate skin, and became a Ming maritime merchant with a high-sounding appearance.

Hearing this request, Yu Zigao fell into deep thought.
