Chapter 62: Into Xiamen Port!
Wang Wu died, and the remaining ship was beaten into an army. Eight ships of the Southeast Mansion chased the dozens of wrecked ships of Yang Lu's army all the way.
The gods are beautiful, the Southeast Mansion fleet is still eating with the wind. They skillfully manipulate the sails and follow the wind to bring the Yang Lu army closer.
But Yang Lujun had already taken the lead, and their ship approached the Ludao Fortress and quickly passed by the fortress and continued to Xiamen Port.
And Ludao Fortress, with the banner of the Ming army planted, Xiamen Port, is the headquarters of the high-ranking Ming dynasty Fujian coastal defense chief Yu Zigao, and why?
Everyone was watching the flagship. The telescopes of the captains of the ships looked towards Kaohsiung II. What they saw was the tall and straight figure of the young warlord standing calmly on the deck.
The flag of Kaohsiung No. 2 has not changed, but the speed has increased. That is the result of the sails and enough wind.
The bow of the ship moved forward with plowing waves, drawing a wonderful arc. Kaohsiung II led the advance, like a warrior leading an army to charge towards the enemy. The front may be Longtan Tiger Den, and behind it is the golden light from the sun.
Yan Changwu was so passionate that he couldn't help but cried out: "Those who offend my Southeast Mansion will be punishable even though they are far away!"
It's a pity that I played the piano to the cows. The two foreigners around me who came to China to help the foreigners learned Chinese did not know the connotation of Chinese, and they didn't know how to come and say that the warlord was so heroic! Fortunately, there is a log book that writes down the young warlord's words, which can be used to brag in the future.
……
Ludao Fortress.
The atmosphere was tense. The Ming army looked at their leader, Yu Zhigao, and under their feet, there were 6 24-pounder cannons, 12 12-pounder cannons, and 20 6-pounder cannons. This is the main point of Xiamen Port and defense force. Very strong.
Yu Zhigao, one of the Ming generals who participated in the recapture of Penghu, competed with the Dutch warships. At this moment, although it was the tenth day of February, the sea breeze was cold and the roar made people cold all over, he was sweating and frequently raised his telescope. Looking at the offending Southeast Mansion warship.
In his heart, he only hopes that those outsiders, who are afraid of the famous name of the Ming Dynasty, don’t lean over, everyone is kind, wouldn’t it be great to drink tea and see beautiful women in the future!
It is a pity that he is destined to be disappointed. The Southeast Mansion warship has already entered the range of the fortress gun.
What should I do, what should I do?
Because of his work with the Dutch, Yu Zhigao knew the power of the foreigner's splint boats. The foreigners were all splint boats. They defeated Yang Lu. Regardless of his own cannons, he did not practice for a long time and his combat skills were very poor. Really want to fight, I'm afraid that the artillery battle will be defeated.
"My lord, your order?" the subordinates asked one after another.
Yu Zhigao reluctantly said: "No fight!"
Seeing the hesitating gazes of the people around, Yu Zhigao found a reason and said: "Our army has not been ordered by Governor Zhu and General Yu, so we can't lightly fire!"
Hearing what he said, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Your family knew what happened to your family. Don't look at the prestige of the shore artillery, it was all bluffing.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the government was rotten, and the army was very poor in combat effectiveness, and it was not useful at all. The generals were not diligent in business, and the soldiers were messing around. They were used to bluff the fishermen who drive small boats and wear shorts. , To deal with foreigner-style splint boats, so that ten enemies dare to go to war. (Hong Maofan occupies Penghu. The Ming army used 200 boats with tens of thousands of people to deal with less than a thousand people, including a hundred young Dutch soldiers)
……
Sagishima Fortress didn’t fire a shot, it was a place where heavy artillery guarded it! So angry that Xu Xinsu stumbled and shouted, "I was wrong!"
He had known that the Ming army was such a broiler, so he didn't join the Ming army anymore. He simply didn't think about it. He took the money he had earned before and went to a place no one knew to live his life. He wouldn't be as embarrassed as he is now, unable to advance or retreat. It's a life and death dilemma, hate it!
He said cruelly: "Go into Xiamen Port!"
……
Someone on the other boat said, "Spear me into Xiamen Port!"
All the officers and soldiers on the eight battleships chasing the enemy were on guard attentively. As soon as the Sagishima fortress started, they would immediately cover the enemy's position with artillery fire.
Fighting wolves with a stick, both ends are afraid!
Most people in the Southeast Mansion are from the mainland, and they are naturally afraid of the rulers on the mainland. Don’t look at them following Yan Changwu on the outlying islands, but Yan Changwu dare not fight the Ming Dynasty. That’s why the people in the Southeast Mansion say Starting from the mainland, it is still talking about "the imperial court"! Assume that they are ruling orthodox.
Today, Yan Changwu led them straight into Xiamen Port. In fact, the feet of many of his men were trembling.
It's over, it's over, we have become anti-thief when we fight against the court, and our hometown is going to open an ancestral hall, and we will be out of the clan!
If it weren't for the foreboding, the military order is harsh, and more importantly, I can't help myself on the ship, and I can't run away. If it is land warfare, the opposite is the official army rushing over, I am afraid that Yan Changwu's troops will be defeated.
After all, before they joined the army, they were just farmers and fishermen. They would still have the courage to ask them to engage in actions that are not permitted by the national law, but they have to deal with the officers and the army.
showed that their movements were slow. After entering the gun control range of Ludao Fortress, the Kaohsiung No. 2 ship took the lead, and the seven ships in the back were dragged out some distance by the Kaohsiung No. 2 ship!
……
"What did you say?" Yu Zigao, the chief soldier of coastal defense, who was facing the command of the Xiamen Port, asked urgently.
So the kneeling soldier reported again: "Xu Ba Zong was defeated and fled~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The warship lost two-thirds. Coming to Xiamen Port, the Southeast Military Mansion’s warships were in hot pursuit. There were a total of eight warships. They are still forwards. There are nine in total. One of them was damaged and escaped from the battle. They were all splint boats with red hair. No cannons were fired at the Fortress of Ludao!"
After listening to the report, Yu Zigao couldn't sit still anymore, and walked back and forth in the flower hall.
I didn't expect things to be so troubled!
Xu Xinsu is really useless. I heard that Yan Changwu of Southeast Mansion is still his life nephew, and his uncle can’t beat his nephew, stupid!
If a warship from the Southeast Military Mansion enters the Xiamen Port, it will be fine. Where can he put his face?
Yu Zigao was born out of ordinary, but unfortunately he is a tiger father and a dog son!
He is the son of Yu Dayou, the hero of the anti-Japanese war, with the word Kemai. He was in the martial arts in the 37th year of Wanli (1609). Soldiers. Yu Dayou's heroic deeds in conquering Japanese pirates on the southeastern coast of our country are well-known in history. And Yu Zigao also has a shining point in history. There are glorious deeds of Penghu fighting against the Dutch colonists. The Dutch occupied Penghu, and the governor of Fujian Nan Juyi personally visited the sea supervisor. He sent more than 100 warships in succession, increasing the number of troops to 10,000. .
On June 15th of the fourth year of the Apocalypse (1624), Yu Zigao led his army to attack again, bombarding the castle with artillery, and cutting off the water supply in the city. As a result, the Dutch colonists were beaten up and the defender Gao Wenlu was still captured. On the second day of July, the Dutch colonists were finally forced to surrender and seek peace.
Because of the battle with the Dutch, Yu Zigao understood the reason why Ludao Fortress did not dare to fire. The Western-style splint boats are quick to shoot!
Now Xu Xinsu is about to flee into Xiamen Port, and the Southeast Mansion fleet is about to enter Xiamen Port. Yu Zigao is very angry. That's a big trouble!
