Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

Moreover, Zhu Hechi was very clear that he could not and did not need to compromise with the Westerners to gain their support.

Because Zhu Hechi is a "seller of luxury goods", not a "coolie".

Those who "sell luxury goods" have to raise their tails to the sky, acting like I'm awesome, I'm advanced, and I'm a kingdom of heaven.You must not bow down to Westerners, or the brand will be down, and the price will not be sold if the brand is down.

Who has ever seen Pinduoduo, which sells luxury goods, engage in price cuts and promotions?

So now he must beat up the western merchants and pirates pretending to be the Great Qingnan Navy!

If you can beat them badly, then Daming's perfume, porcelain, silk, tea, special white, sugar cane wine and so on will sell even better!

Daming won the battle, which means that these are good things of advanced civilization, and I am not afraid that no one will buy them!

In addition, if we can beat up the sneaky Westerners who came to interfere when we marched into the south of the Yangtze River, we can also rebuild the prestige of Chinese civilization in the East Asian civilization circle and keep the final basic position.

Although he, a great sage, has a lot of truth, but he doesn't know how to tell the people below... This is the loneliness of a prophet!

Thinking of this, he didn't say those words that everyone couldn't understand. He simply raised his hand and pointed at the "Walk for the Heaven" flag behind him, and said loudly: "Take this flag and go to sea, and go to grab the world lost by us Han people." Come back, and take back the land that our heavenly kingdom lost... let those foreign devils know who is the master of this world and the sea!

This is called doing justice for the heavens! "

Most of the people below are heroes who have been doing justice for the sky for many years at sea, or they are the second generation of heroes...the second generation of heroes!If you don't know anything else, how can you not know what it means to act on behalf of the sky?

This is fucking the best deal in the world!

So the cheers rose immediately.

"Long live the saint, do justice for the sky..."

"Do justice for the heavens!"

"If you fight hard, you will win..."

……

Off the coast of Zhejiang.

The Dragon Banner of the Qing Dynasty and the command flag of the three armies of the Admiral of the Nanyang Navy of the Qing Dynasty are hunting and dancing in the sea breeze.

This is the good weather with blue sky and blue sea, the sea breeze is neither too strong nor too small, and the wind direction is just right.Seventeen "large warships" with a deadweight of more than 21 tons and [-] "speedboats" with a deadweight of less than [-] tons, forming a huge fleet, are rapidly heading south along the coastline of Zhejiang Province.

On the sea, the sails cover the sky and the sun, and they are mighty!

Originally named Batavia, it was renamed Dinghai Batulu after joining the Nanyang Navy of the Qing Dynasty and sailed at the forefront of the entire formation. Its bow plowed a snow-white wave on the sea in Taizhou, Fujian, and its trajectory was straight. East.

This large armed merchant ship was the flagship of the Baltha Bajun Gate and probably one of the most powerful warships east of Malacca.It has a deadweight tonnage of up to 600 tons and is equipped with 24 large 12-pound cannons, also known as Hongyi cannons.

This firepower is not bad on the European battlefield.

And there are two warships of this tonnage and firepower in the fleet commanded by Ba Junmen, and the other is the Spanish Galen Grand "Holy Angel", now called Zhenhai Batulu.

With these two Batulu ships, the Bartba Army Sect is naturally not worried about being defeated in the naval battle at all.However, Figo, who was sent by the Qing government to assist him in the battle, seemed a little restless. Standing on the deck of the Dinghai Batulu, he kept looking around with his binoculars, looking a little nervous.

"Figo, what are you worried about?"

Barthes, who was taking a leisurely walk on the rear deck, walked up to Figo and said with a smile, "We have 38 warships, more than [-] cannons, and nearly [-] sailors... We also have the most advanced battleships in Europe. Line tactics, and our boat handling skills are better, and we can always maintain a safe firefighting distance to avoid being hit by their thunder rockets.

So there is only one question we need to consider now...that is, on what terms to accept the Ming Dynasty's summation!Ceding Taiwan and monopolizing free trade might be the right conditions.Figo, are you willing to act as my envoy after defeating them? "

"Of course," Figo said, "but... I'm still a little worried, and I can't understand why you Dutch people are so obsessed with that desert island? If it's just for trade, you don't need Taiwan at all Ah, you can go directly to Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, isn’t it better than Taiwan Island?”

Barter just smiled slightly, shrugged and said: "Of course, we don't need Taiwan now... what we need is the low head of the Ming Dynasty supervisor, who recognizes the rules we have made, and respects the rules we have established in Java, Malacca, Philippines, and dominion in the southern seas.

Moreover, we also need the war between Ming and Qing to go on for a long time, so that we can make war fortune! "

Chapter 395 I am the Ming Dynasty Navy, especially "riding and shooting"!

"Dangdangdang..."

"An unknown fleet was discovered at eleven o'clock, with more than ten ships in number, and a distance of... [-] yards!"

Balter and Figo were discussing the good thing about letting Daming cede land and pay compensation, when the lookout post of "Dinghai Batulu" suddenly sounded the alarm bell and the shouts of lookout soldiers.

coming!

Balter and Figo glanced at each other, showing nervous and excited expressions.

Although the watchmen hadn't reported the ship's type and flag number, the two of them decided that it must be a warship of the Daming Navy.

Because they originally went out to sea with the intention of seeking a decisive battle at sea, they chose to sail along the coastline of Zhejiang——the current Daming Navy is still an offshore navy, the ships are generally small, and the experience of long-distance voyages is not enough, so the activities The scope is mainly offshore and coastal.

Moreover, the current New Ming Dynasty is actually a "Pirate Dynasty" with a lot of supporters in the coastal areas of South China.Even under the rule of the Qing government, there are many fishermen and smugglers who are supporters of the new Ming Dynasty along the coast of Zhejiang, where the ban on relocating the sea has just been lifted.Xin Daming will definitely take advantage of this favorable condition to develop many eyeliners along the coast of Zhejiang, and maybe even establish a beacon warning system.

Therefore, the Nanyang Navy of the Qing Dynasty going south along the Zhejiang coastline will definitely be discovered by the people of the New Daming Navy.

And Xin Ming, who discovered that the Qing army's navy was going south, could only choose between sending their weak navy to fight against it or humiliating and seeking peace (of course to the Netherlands and Spain)!

The option of no war and no peace should not exist-this means that the coastal areas of Guangdong and Fujian under the new Ming Dynasty will be looted by the Great Qingshui Division!

And the people in these areas are the most staunch supporters of the new Ming court. How could the Third Prince Zhu, the Third Grandson Zhu and Yanping King Zheng Jing ignore them?

After searching the vast sea for a while with a telescope, Bartheba Junmen also found the Ming Army Navy Fleet zigzagging on the sea—the current wind direction on the sea is generally northerly, slightly westward.Therefore, the navy of the Ming army sailing in the northeast can only take the zigzag route and go northward with difficulty.

"Figo, you guessed right, they really chose to take risks, I have to say, these guys are quite brave!"

While observing the white sails of the Ming army fleet that appeared in the distance, Barter said to Figo beside him: "It seems wrong, why are they all soft sails?"

"It's a British three-masted Galen merchant ship," Figo said, "with a deadweight of about 24 to 6 tons and equipped with [-] [-]-pound guns. of.

Some Portuguese craftsmen who were unfortunately captured in Macau also participated in the imitation... It is said that a total of more than a dozen were imitated, and this was the only Galen-type armed merchant ship they could build. "

"I've heard..." Barter nodded, "I just didn't expect them to make so many, no wonder they dared to take the initiative to fight. But this is actually a stupid thing! Even if they can make a qualified British three-masted Galen It is also difficult to learn how to drive it correctly in such a short period of time. Maybe it is okay to drive it casually, but when it comes to the battlefield, they are far behind!"

He paused, and then said to Figo: "As long as we continue to gain the upper hand against them later, we can use the advantage of mobility to keep the distance from the formation of the Ming army... In this way, their magic rockets and 6-pound guns will not be able to attack. What a threat, and our 12-pound guns should still be able to hit. The long-range artillery battle may last a whole day or more, but the final victory must belong to us!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was another "dangdang" bell from the lookout post on the mainmast, and then the sentry shouted: "At 12 o'clock, 15 British three-masted Galen ships, each The Lun boats are towing two or three small boats... maybe arson boats!"

"Arson ship?" Barter couldn't help laughing, "But we're in a tailwind now! These Chinese really don't understand naval warfare!"

His expression suddenly became serious, and he ordered loudly: "Now, raise the Orange flag..."

When an orange, white, and blue tricolor flag was slowly raised and juxtaposed with the triangular Qinglong flag, Admiral Barter said loudly to the Dutch sailors on the deck: "Citizens of the United Provinces Republic, East Mercenaries of the Indian Company, all who believe in God!

The Republic, the Company, and God brought us to the East, gave us honor and riches, and established civilized order in this fertile and savage land... And now, the time has come to test us!

Savage enemies are using evil black magic to destroy our new order, and they want to take away our wealth and honor!Want to destroy our faith!Delusion to bring the lands and countries under the protection of the East India Company into darkness and evil... So, in the name of the Republic and the Company, I ask each and every one of you to do your duty in the battle that follows.

I promise, as long as we win.Each of you will return to Europe with honor and riches! "

Then, Barthes raised his arms and shouted: "Long live the Republic! Long live Consul William!"

The people below also shouted: "Long live the Republic! Long live Consul William!"

……

"Dangdangdang..."

"Qiu Junmen, found the Qing Yao warship fleet, the number is more than [-], a long snake formation, coming with the wind!"

Almost at the same moment, the sentinel's report and warning bell rang on the Chengtianfu, the flagship of the Nanyang Fleet of the Ming Navy.

"Qiu Junmen, I suggest to lead the battle with a long snake formation, give up the upper hand, and take the lower hand... At the same time, prepare to carry out riding and shooting!"

Su Zhanshan, the chief of the fleet, immediately put forward tactical suggestions.

Qiu Rong was holding up the binoculars to look around. Hearing Qiu Rong's suggestion, he turned his head and glanced at the three "jumping boats" being towed by the Chengtianfu.

The so-called Tuqi boat, also known as "Kuai Tu", is actually a fast boat with [-] paddles, which is similar to the rocket boat that shoots rockets in the Yangtze River, except that it is slightly larger and has a pointed bottom.

In addition, this "surging boat" has stronger firepower, and the bow is equipped with a quadruple rocket launcher.

However, the defense capabilities of this type of ship are relatively poor... almost none!

And apart from this quadruple rocket launcher, this "shock boat" is not equipped with any heavy weapons, only the grenade hammers and swords that the sailors carry with them.

In other words, after this kind of "surging boat" has fired all the rockets, it can only rely on speed and flexibility to withdraw from the battle.

And the Ming Navy...in fact, it was Zhu Hechi himself who designed a set of tactics similar to riding and shooting for this kind of "jumping boat".

Specifically, a "Great Eastern" class drags three "surging boats" into battle. After going into battle, the Great Eastern class forms a line, while the sudden riding boats gather and hide in one of the Great Eastern class boats. side.When the artillery battle between the two sides started, the assault boats rushed out like a group of cavalry, pounced on one or several enemy warships, fired rockets after approaching, and then retreated immediately...

In other words, when the two sides lined up to fire artillery, the Ming army rushed out of a group of small boats, and fired rockets after reaching up. One or two small boats are nothing. Four rockets... well, two hundred rockets can kill you with one or two warships, how can that be any good?

This style of play is not about not talking about martial arts, but that they don't know what martial arts are at all.

However, Qiu Rong said this kind of thing that doesn't talk about martial arts. It's quite like that. He just coughed and said: "Okay, I am a Ming navy, and I especially pay attention to the art of riding and shooting...... In the battle, let's shoot arrows with sudden cavalry to break the strong ships and cannons of Xiyi! Pass the order of the official and general, promote the flag of Tianxingdao, and form a line array, headed by Chengtian, so the sudden cavalry boats are all to the right of Chengtian Assemble sideways!"

Following Qiu Rong's order to raise the Tian Xing Dao flag on the main masts of fifteen Great Eastern-class warships in turn, the Ming army's warships on the sea also burst into appalling cheers.

"Do justice for the heavens! Long live the Ming Dynasty!"

Chapter 396 The vast ocean has a share of Ming again!

"What do those four square characters mean? Is it the Ming Dynasty Navy?"

On the ocean near Pishan Island off the coast of Wenzhou Prefecture, when two large fleets forming a line-shaped formation finally began to approach each other face to face.Already feeling that he was about to win, Admiral Bart of the Nanyang Navy of the Qing Dynasty suddenly became interested in the flag of "Walk for the Heaven" on the Ming army warship.

He is about to win, so he has to figure out who his opponent is, right?Otherwise, it will be difficult for historians to write in the future!

But he didn’t know Chinese characters, so he asked Figo — Figo had been a Manchurian for two or three years, and he learned not only Manchurian, but also Chinese and Chinese characters.

He held up the binoculars to look carefully, and said in a low voice: "Practicing the Way for Heaven... means preaching and evangelizing instead of Tianli. Their Tianli is probably our God, but Tianli does not come from Tianqi, but ancient Chinese philosophers." What was gradually discovered through speculation is similar to their black magic."

Figo, who has become a Manchurian, still has not gained the trust of Emperor Kangxi, so he has no chance to get in touch with the secrets of sugar medicine. He is not anti-foreigner, and treats foreigners as foreign brothers.

However, Figo still found out some inside information. He now knew that Emperor Kangxi liked to tinker with "black magic" with a group of Taoist priests, and he even tinkered with some things.

"Hmph, it really is a group of barbarians without faith!" Barter snorted contemptuously, put away his telescope, and then stood on the rear deck of the Dinghai Baturu, quietly waiting for the distance between the two sides draw closer.There is also a naval staff officer beside him, who is constantly reporting the distance.

"6000 yards!"

"5500 yards!"

"5000 yards!"

"4000...

"boom……"

The distance between the two sides shortened very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, there were only about 3000 yards left, that is, more than 12 meters, or about 5 steps. The [-]-pounder gun was already accurate at this distance.However, the [-]-pound cannon of the Ming army is still not big enough to look at. After all, the ammunition is nearly half lighter, and the barrel is much shorter. Of course, the effective range is much worse.

However, the twelve 5-jin cannons on the leading Ming warship still fired first, and the shells almost disappeared. They fell far into the sea, stirring up more than ten water columns, and even attracted the Dinghai Batulu. The Dutch sailor on board burst into laughter.

"Those Chinese not only don't understand naval warfare, but even their artillery skills are very bad. It seems that we have overestimated them."

Admiral Barter also looked very relaxed at this time, and made a more pertinent comment on the navy that Zhu and Qi worked so hard to pull out-their artillery skills are pretty bad, not only the navy's artillery skills are bad, but the army is also the same.During the two or three years of war, they relied on rocket launchers and small mortars to conquer the world, and field cannons were simply for show.

After commenting on the opponent's artillery, Barter immediately issued an order: "Tell the artillery deck to launch the first salvo at a distance of 3000 yards!"

Then he gave an order to Major Bit, the captain of the Haibatulu: "Major, the distance from the Ming fleet must always be kept between 2500 and 3000 yards."

"As you order, Your Excellency Commander."

This Major Butte is an old subordinate of Barthes, with top-notch ship handling skills, he can drive a large ship with a deadweight tonnage of [-] tons as nimbly as a small boat-a captain like him is actually a captain of the United Netherlands. The greatest treasure of the Provincial Republic!

And their number is as many as [-] to [-], which can continuously improve excellent captains for the Dutch Navy.

Therefore, before the captain of this generation grows old and dies, the Dutch's advantage in the ocean is almost unshakable.Even Britain, whose handicraft industry is far more developed than the Netherlands, has suffered a lot in several Anglo-Dutch wars.

"Dangdangdang..."

Shortly after Admiral Bart gave Major Bit an order, a rush of bells suddenly rang.

It was the lookout post who found something again!

"Arson ships...20 in number, no, at least 30!"

Figo's voice suddenly sounded: "Admiral! There are dozens of small boats rushing towards us...it doesn't seem to be an arson boat!"

Not an arson boat?What ship is that?

Admiral Barter didn't dare to take it lightly, so he quickly raised his binoculars to look around.

As a result, he found that dozens of small boats driven by long oars had appeared on the sea in front of him, each with sixteen oars. The speed is not slow.

In addition, there are two sailors standing on the bow of each boat. They are holding something that looks like a box with one hand and the railing with the other, looking straight ahead.

What do these Chinese people want to do?Just as Balter thought of this, the deck under his feet trembled, and then there was a roar.

This is the twelve 12-pound guns of Dinghai Batulu firing, not those small boats - those small boats are too small to hit, and the value is not great, there is no need to use twelve-pound guns to shoot .The target of those [-]-pound guns was the leading Ming Army Great Eastern-class armed merchant ship!

Barter temporarily forgot about the dozens of small boats, but concentrated all his attention on the Great Eastern class of the Ming Army less than 6 yards away... Although the 5-pound gun ([-] catties) on ​​the Great Eastern class Cannon) is no threat, but there is a good chance that there are rockets on this ship!

In fact, Barthes guessed right. The Great Eastern class of the Ming army was indeed equipped with rocket launchers, one on the bow and one on the stern. They were all six-packed, and a salvo could fire 12 rockets!
