Wang Xiao had been to Fuzhou Mansion before, and he had also found the famous sword spectrum to ward off evil spirits here.

It's just that it's all in another world.

Wang Xiao, who came to Fuzhou City, also deliberately went to Xiangyang Lane, where the old house of the Lin family is located, but there is no Fuwei dart game here at all, let alone the old house of the Lin family. He had no choice but to return with regret.

According to the reports of the local garrison, those Hongyi people occupied Nanri Island. The construction of a city pier on the island seems to be intended for a long time.

The local sailors tried to send troops to expel them, but unfortunately their ships were not as good as the others, although they were many in number. After a big battle, he lost his troops and had to retreat in defeat.

The emperor gave Lin Ruhai the power to control the military affairs of the surrounding parts of Fuzhou Prefecture, and at the same time, he could also ask for grain, grass, materials, and manpower support from the surrounding places.

To put it simply, Lin Ruhai is the highest level of military and political control in Fuzhou and other places at the moment.

In the handsome tent, Lin Ruhai set his eyes on Wang Xiao.

"Mr. Li." Wang Xiao saluted the chief military officer of Fujian: "Dare to ask, do you know how these Hongyi troops are, and how many ships are there?" What kind of ships are they? Which country in the West is the Yi people? ”

The rank of the chief military officer is much higher than Wang Xiao's, but he knows Wang Xiao's identity and knows that this is Lin Ruhai's confidant. So it's a serious return gift.

"This official once sent people to the island to investigate, and there are more than 1,000 people on the island. As for the ships, there are as many as 12 of them. Although there are not many boats, they are as big as mountains and white sails as clouds. There are dozens of artillery pieces on board at every turn, and they are powerful. As for which country's Hongyi is, it's not clear. However, the Hongyi on the island were all dressed in red, and they looked like cooked lobsters. ”

As soon as he said this, Wang Xiao had some understanding in his heart.

"Didn't you send someone to Haojing to inquire about those Francophone people?"

The reason why Wang Xiao asked this was that when the Great Zhou Dynasty expelled the Tartars, the Portuguese in Macao had taken the initiative to send troops and ships to help.

Afterwards, as a reward, the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty allowed them to continue to live in Macao and continue to trade.

As the only Western country qualified to do business directly with the Great Zhou, the Portuguese in Macao have always been very obedient. For those Westerners who come from outside, they are also trying to pull back their legs.

"I sent someone to ask. Those Frangi people spoke upside down, one saying that it was some kind of toast in the east of India, and the other it was some kind of auspicious person. I don't know what to do. ”

The Great Zhou Dynasty also implemented the ban on the sea, although the people repeatedly banned it, but the yamen knew very little about the overseas world.

As soon as he said this, Wang Xiao understood.

This was the fleet of the English East India Company.

After defeating the Spanish and Dutch in succession, the English became more and more powerful at sea. They have coveted the Far East, a route with gold and silver, for a long time.

"I wonder how adults are going to fight?"

After introducing the situation, everyone's eyes fell on Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai glanced at Wang Xiao, coughed and said, "This official has studied the map before, and is determined to use the tactic of luring the snake out of the hole to attract those Hongyi fleets to Beipingpu Bay. The artillery team of the Shenji Battalion set up a fort in Sheephorn Mountain, Louzi down the mountain, and the area around Hongshan. This is a concave harbor with a narrow entrance and complex waters with limited mobility. As soon as the Hongyi fleet entered, the artillery team blocked the entrance to the bay, and the arsonist boats that hid everywhere swarmed up and burned their ships. As long as their fleet is destroyed, then the Hongyi on Nanri Island will be the turtle in the urn. ”

The generals showed admiration on their faces and did not hesitate to send sweet sycophants.

The most important thing in naval warfare is to fight ships.

The ship is not as good as the man, and the cannon is not as many as the people, so it is necessary to take advantage of the terrain.

Beipingpu is a spoon-shaped bay, and as long as the big ships of the English come in, it is very difficult to get out. When the time came, the batteries erected on the top of the hill on the shore opened fire, and the arsonist boats lying behind the reefs in the surrounding fjords swarmed up, and the probability of victory was extremely high.

This is the best choice in the era of sailing wooden boats.

If it's in the era of ironclads, then it's better to wash and sleep.

This battle plan was actually proposed and perfected by Wang Xiao, but it was just handed over to Lin Ruhai to say.

It seems that he has taken the credit for Wang Xiao, but in fact, Lin Ruhai can only continue to come out after winning Wang Xiao.

After Lin Ruhai finished speaking, Wang Xiao began to play the role of the bad guy, "The sailor used as a bait to lure the Hongyi fleet into the trap. and then recruited fishermen and the Xu family to buy a boat with people. Load with gunpowder, sulfur, oil, hay and get ready. ”

The generals of the sailors were all pale.

They've fought before, and they know they can't beat people. This time I went to bait, and it became a good thing to say, but if I failed, I guess I wouldn't be able to wait for the day when I was punished. Definitely a thankless errand.

"Don't worry, if you win this battle. The sailor should be the first credit! ”

Lin Ruhai played the role of a good man, and drew a big cake to boost morale.

Wang Xiao and Lin Ruhai sang and harmonized, and the matter was settled.

The generals left the tent to prepare, and Lin Ruhai asked Wang Xiao, "Can you win?" ”

He was transferred from civil to military, and this was the first time he commanded a war. If it fails, various adverse reactions will inevitably follow.

Wang Xiao shrugged, "Winning or losing, you only know after you fight." ”

He was not afraid of the East India Company, and the technological gap between the two sides did not reach the level of generational difference.

The Beijing camp also has artillery and guns, and its power is not necessarily much worse than that of those English.

And they are fighting on their own, and all kinds of support can be described as endless. The English had come across thousands of miles, and long supply lines could kill them.

Huaxia is not African, and there is no such thing as being able to occupy a large area of land with a few cannons.

Wang Xiao also had another idea, that is, he wanted Lin Ruhai to see the power of firearms with his own eyes.

It must be someone of his identity who takes the initiative to promote it, so that the Great Zhou Dynasty can gradually get rid of cold weapons and transition to the era of hot weapons.

Westerners will not give up their temptation to the Eastern world because of this failure. Planning ahead is more important than winning the battle.

Thankfully, the current Huaxia is not ruled by an alien race that is 'rather with outsiders than domestic slaves'.

Compared with the end of the former Ming Dynasty, the living standard of the Great Zhou Dynasty at this time was still much higher.

However, in Wang Xiao's eyes, it is still poor and backward.

The seaside is not as rich as the modern world, and you can become rich by renting. On the contrary, because of the forbidden sea, life can only barely survive.

After offering a high reward, the local fishermen and the Xu family enthusiastically signed up for the fire attack fleet. In the space of two or three days, hundreds of small boats were gathered.

As for how to lure the English into taking the bait, it is not that the sailor will chase after him if he drives over and shoots two shots.

This kind of thing can only appear in biographies like Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

When I came to a strange place, my eyes were black, and I didn't know anything about geography, climate, culture, and water flow. They're not stupid and they're going to catch up.

And the method used by Wang Xiao is actually very simple, that is, to let the sailor wander around Nanri Island. It was discovered that all the ships that dared to bring food to the island were sunk.

Not counting the sailors in the fleet, there were more than a thousand people on the island alone. Nanri Island is not an island rich in natural resources, and the supplies of so many people cannot be transported from distant India, but can only be purchased at the expense of local people who want money and do not want to die.

With this supply channel cut off, the English can't fight without wanting to.

The people of the Yangwei camp were not idle, and scattered to the countryside to hunt down the locals who sold food and supplies to Hongyi. As long as they are caught, then the whole family will be dealt with according to the crime of gangsters.

There is no better way to count poison than to go hungry.

The English, who had been cut off from their supply sources, really couldn't sit still. They thought that if the Great Zhou Sailors were allowed to continue to cover the surrounding sea, they would all starve to death.

A few days later, the fleet of the English seized the opportunity to strike in a big way. In the naval battle, the naval division was heavily defeated, and the pursuit was carried out with all its might, in an attempt to completely annihilate the threat.

The sailor was not defeated this time, but was really defeated and fled.

"Sure enough, it's careless to have a good fight."

Wang Xiao, who was standing on the top of the mountain down the mountain, watched the English fleet divide into two columns from both sides of Xiaowen Guam and rush into the depths of Beipingpu Bay. The heart is to wake up to yourself, and you should also be careful when you fight against the wind.

The entrance to Beipingpu Bay is very narrow. After the artillery of the Shenji Battalion was transported to the top of the hill, the covering range of the two sides was enough to block the entire entrance.

As soon as the English fleet entered, the result was already predestined.

The commander of the fleet of the English was also capable. After a period of pursuit, it became clear that something was wrong, and the bay here was simply a natural ambush site. Immediately ordered to turn the bow of the ship and go out first.

Wang Xiao on the top of the mountain was half-squatting on the grass, still biting a dog's tail grass in his mouth, "I want to leave now, it's too late." ”

Ships in the age of sail were troublesome to turn or travel, and the bigger the ship, the more troublesome it was. Because it depends on the ocean currents and the direction of the wind.

Seeing that the fleet in the bay under the mountain was gradually falling into chaos, Wang Xiao got up and came to Lin Ruhai's side and saluted, "My lord, it's time." ”

Lin Ruhai nodded slowly, he had absolute trust in Wang Xiao.

And even if it was the first time he led the troops, he could see that the fleet below was already in his pocket.

A magical monkey soars into the sky from the top of the mountain, bursting into a brilliant fireworks in mid-air.

Immediately, amid the sound of countless gongs and drums, hundreds of arson ships rushed out of all parts of the world, and rushed straight to the English fleet.

The English fleet was in full swing, and the guns on both sides of the ships sprayed a dense rain of bullets, sinking numerous ships one after another.

Lin Ruhai's beard trembled when he saw it on the top of the mountain, and the powerful power of the firearm brought him a great shock.

But there were too many arsonists, and the English guns were front-loading smoothbore guns, not missiles, and not pepper-topped close-in guns. Even if many ships were sunk, there were still a large number of arsonist ships coming up.

One ship after another was set on fire, and in the end only two large ships fled in disarray to the island of Little Bun Guam, at the entrance to the bay.

At this time, the artillery arranged on the bottom of the building on both sides and the top of Giethoorn Mountain opened fire.

Accepting the lessons of the previous Ming Dynasty, the weapons of the Great Zhou Dynasty were strictly supervised. And also received technical support from the Portuguese, whose artillery was not bad.

More than 100 condescending artillery pieces crossed to block the entrance to the narrow bay, and the two large English ships that tried to escape were directly destroyed, and the masts were broken and spun in place. The other ship ran aground directly on Xiaowen Guam in a panic.

The naval battle, which lasted for more than an hour, ended with the annihilation of the English army and the complete victory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Solve the fleet, those people on Nanri Island just want to run and have nowhere to run.
