These remarks are tantamount to a naked provocation.

In Nanjuyi's ears, it was as if the Dutch were saying that our weapons are advanced, and you just can't beat us.

It's better to open the port to trade with each other as soon as possible, so that we don't use strong ships and cannons to blast open your country!

Beside Nan Juyi, a general wearing a chain mail and a basalt helmet glared angrily at the Dutch delegation.

This person is the current Fujian General Soldier - Yu Zhigao.

Fujian General Soldier Yu Zhigao, this person has a great background, he was born in Jiangmen, and his father is Yu Dayou, a famous general of the Jiajing Dynasty, who is famous.

Compared with his father's prestige, Yu Zhigao is a little mediocre.

He has been fighting against the Japanese with his father since he was a child, and he has a lot of martial arts, but he does not have much merit.

Later, he worked hard, did not have great achievements, and continued to be a small honor, and was promoted to the Fujian General Army in the 48th year of Wanli, which did not insult his father's prestige.

By Yu Zhigao's side, stood his most trusted general, Wang Mengxiong, who was also a general, and the remaining several water mark guerrillas, all of whom were familiar with water warfare.

According to the established practice, the local civil and military are out of harmony, the civilian officials despise the military generals, and the military generals ridicule the civil officials for only using the pen as a knife, and every time a new official takes office, he is secretly fighting.

Nanjuyi's inauguration coincided with the Dutch invasion.

The general army took into account the overall situation, and after being willing to be the new governor, he cooperated in everything and acted according to orders, which is very rare in many places.

The Fujian generals were all angered by Hongmaoyi's words, so they got up one after another, and Wang Mengxiong said:

"Please give instructions to the commander, we will obey the military orders!"

Yu Zhigao was silent for a long time, his expression was cold, and he reprimanded:

"Whatever you teach, sit down and listen to Futai's orders!"

Hearing this, the generals sighed and had no choice but to sit down again.

Nan Juyi was grateful, but he deliberately didn't look at Yu Zhigao on his side, he was also anxious and angry, and he hated to start a war with Hongmao Fan immediately.

But he couldn't, the imperial court ordered to reach Fujian, and this kind of major matter could not be easily decided.

"You don't have the sincerity to negotiate, so see you on the battlefield!" The pushback of the Fujian government in the Ming Dynasty completely angered the Dutch diplomat.

He got up angrily and was about to leave.

At the same time, a gust of wind drifted past him, but a person ran over quickly, holding the paperwork, and presented it to Nan Juyi and Yu Zhigao's generals.

Looking at this document from the Forbidden City, Yu Zhigao's face gradually calmed down and handed it over to Yu Zhigao, who was eager to wear it.

Yu Zhigao read it, and handed it over to the generals for circulation.

"Hah!"

Wang Mengxiong didn't hold back his laughter, and let out a strange sound, and then, the generals smiled one after another, and even called His Majesty Shengming.

This scene made the Dutch diplomats confused.

He looked at the interpreter in wonder, but saw that the latter also shook his head in confusion, only to feel that his status as a royal diplomat had been insulted, and he was even more angry.

"Stay—"

One foot had just stepped out of the threshold, but he heard Nan Juyi shouting behind him.

The Dutch diplomat turned around, saw that Nan Juyi had changed his respectful face, and said with a smile:

"Please forgive me, the emperor's will has come down."

"How?" The other party hurriedly asked, quite impatient.

These red-haired looks were fully seen by Nan Juyi, and he was more confident in his heart, so he smiled:

"I also ask Your Excellency Diplomat to repeat, Your Majesty, to allow the Ming Dynasty to trade with the Netherlands and become a friendly country."

Hearing this, the diplomat's eyes immediately lit up, and he seemed to be much satisfied, and left laughing.

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

"Penghu is the gateway of Zhangquan, and Beigang is the lip and tooth of Penghu, and the loss of Beigang is the lip and the tooth is cold, not Penghu can be worried, and Zhangquan can also be worried."

"Now that the center left is blocked by the red-haired fleet, Yu Shuai, is there any way to crack it?"

Yu Zhigao already had a plan in his heart, he put the Jingshi document aside, and took a few steps forward, but he was still behind Nan Juyi, and said:

"The emperor's decree, I am Ming, every inch of land will be fought for!"

"Every inch of land counts!" Wang Mengxiong shouted.

The voice landed, and Yu Zhigao continued:

"My opinion is that Futai and I immediately issued a notice to assemble the land and water armies of Fujian to completely annihilate the first batch of Hongmaoyi in Penghu!"

"This time, it is a momentum, no matter how many troops are mobilized and how much military funds are spent, these Hongmaoyi will be completely annihilated!"

"Tell Westerners that Da Ming is not easy to mess with, next time, weigh it!"

"Yes!"

When the generals heard this, they asked for battle one after another, and they were excited.

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

"Hahaha-"

The generals burst into laughter.

......

Following.

Fujian Governor Nan Juyi and Fujian General Yu Zhigao decided to implement the plan, and the former held a banquet and invited the Dutch delegation to come to the banquet.

During the banquet, when the singing and dancing were noisy, the sharp soldiers of the Ming army on both sides of the ambush rushed out together, subduing the frightened Dutch diplomats and others one after another.

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

Meihua Yuhai Qianhusuo, Dajin Yuhai Qianhusuo, Pinghaiwei, and the fleets of the Fujian Navy Division also received the military order of Yu Zhigao, the chief soldier of Fujian, to gather the ships and set sail for the sea.

All of a sudden, along the coast of Fujian, the troops and horses of the Ming army were mobilized one by one, and there was a great tendency to start a war.

......

That night, off the coast of Fujian, a waning moon hung in the open sky.

The sea is as silent as a slight, and occasionally a few wisps of sea breeze blow the mast.

Under the waning moon, Yu Zhigao was personally leading a small fleet of more than 80 ships to quietly approach the Dutch ships blockading the center and left.

Yu Zhigao stood on the Cangshan boat, holding the rudder tightly, grasping the direction of the ship, his eyes were resolute, but somehow, his heart was always nervous.

Not far away, several large sailing ships about 20 zhang long came into view.

Yu Zhigao watched with a clairvoyant mirror, his expression gradually became solemn, there were a total of eight Dutch ships blocking the left and middle, and they had three such ships.

"What kind of ship is this?"

He could clearly see that these three warships of about 20 zhang were equipped with artillery on both sides, and whether they were light or heavy, the number of light was dozens of times that of his own naval division Cangshan warship.

"Boom—"

Along with the unease, the first naval battle between Ming and the Netherlands suddenly broke out off the coast of Fujian.

This time, the Fujian Naval Division, which had been prepared for a long time, gathered the largest number of large and small warships that could be mobilized in a short period of time, a full 86 large and small warships.

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, they attacked eight Dutch ships that had sealed off the port.

In terms of the number of sailors, there are more than 80 Fujian naval warships, carrying nearly 2,000 sailors, while the opponent's warships are only eight, and there are only more than 100 seamen.

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

But the truth is the opposite.

Although Yu Zhigao had rich experience in naval warfare, he had never fought against the Dutch and did not know the combat methods of the opposing fleet, which put him in a passive position.

And more importantly, the combat effectiveness of those three unknown warships is too strong...
