The Battle of Liuluo Bay is Zheng Zhilong's famous battle, in this battle the Dutch unprecedentedly dispatched nineteen of the latest battleships with cannons, and also gathered 50 warships of the pirate Liu Xiang to participate in the battle, and the Ming army dispatched 150 warships and tens of thousands of soldiers, and finally relied on the tactics of fire (a suicide attack with a small warship on fire) to defeat the Dutch, although the battle loss ratio is also ugly, but it is also the first time that China has defeated the Western maritime power head-on in a large-scale naval battle! (The previous Battle of Tuen Mun, the Battle of Sai Cao Wan, the Battle of Penghu, etc., could only be regarded as small naval battles because of the small number of warships invested by Westerners!) ）

It was also this battle that made the Western powers realize that although China's weapons were inferior to theirs, they were not left to their bullying, so there was no large-scale naval battle of this scale in China's waters for more than 200 years. The Piece War (1840) broke out! And Zheng Zhilong also became a maritime hegemon by virtue of this battle, monopolizing the maritime trade along the coast of Fujian!

As a traverser, Guo Zhiyuan has seen farther than anyone in this era, he knows that Westerners covet the behemoth of China, but at the same time, they are also worried that once this Oriental sleeping lion is completely awakened, it will be difficult to clean up, so they will take tentative attacks again and again to test China's reaction, once they taste the sweetness, they will gain an inch, and at the same time, it will also attract more invasion from Western powers.

The British are launching the first Raven. At the time of the war, there was no bottom in my heart, and the British Parliament at that time had a fierce debate on whether to start this war, and finally under the influence of Queen Victoria, it only passed the decision to start the war by a narrow margin of 271 votes to 262. The British won the war and persecuted the corrupt Qing dynasty. The government signed an unequal treaty, and there will be a second crow later. The Slice War and the Invasion of the Eight-Nation Alliance!

So Guo Zhiyuan knows that either he doesn't fight, or if he wants to fight, he will completely beat the Westerners! They can't hold their heads up! Therefore, Guo Zhiyuan's deliberate indulgence is actually to lure Westerners to dispatch, anyway, in the original historical time and space, the Dutch will also make a comeback to occupy Penghu Island three years later, Guo Zhiyuan might as well lure them out in advance, and solve the threat of Westerners once and for all, so as to free up his hands to solve the Houjin that will bring greater suffering to the Chinese people!

The Dutch really came! The Netherlands is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and has a well-developed craft industry, but natural resources are scarce and the local market is small. Therefore, many Dutch people went out to engage in business activities, traveled to and from all over the world, and earned a lot of wealth through maritime trade, so they were also called "coachmen of the sea" in Western countries.

The Netherlands is the first country in Europe to establish capitalism, unlike the industrial capitalism of the United Kingdom, the capitalism of the Netherlands is commercial capitalism, and their shipbuilding industry is developed, at this time the Dutch navy is almost more than 1 times that of the British and French navies, and the total tonnage of its ships is equivalent to the sum of the four countries of Britain, France, Spain and Portugal, becoming a veritable sea overlord who sweeps the ocean!

With the booming national strength and military strength, Britain, which later became the world's maritime hegemon, had not yet fully grown up, and the former maritime hegemons Spain and Portugal were gradually declining, so the ambitions of the Netherlands, a Western maritime power known as the "sea coachman", rose.

The reason why the Dutch were repelled by Shen Yourong after occupying Magong Island and left without a fight was because they had not yet figured out the strength of the Ming Dynasty and were not fully prepared, and more importantly, their layout in Java and other places had not yet been completed, but in recent years, they have defeated the Portuguese and Spanish fleets in Java and the Strait of Malacca twice, and the layout in Java and other places has been basically completed.

Especially in these years, Guo Zhiyuan monopolized the maritime trade business on the southern coast, so that the Dutch had to trade under the trade rules formulated by Guo Zhiyuan, they were naturally very dissatisfied, so after learning that Guo Zhiyuan's strength was greatly damaged because of the back road of the Jin army in Liaodong, they felt that the opportunity to enter the Chinese coast had come, and the original plan to enter the Chinese coast in 1622 was advanced!

Because of the influence of Guo Zhiyuan's crossing little butterfly, the fleet lineup sent by the Dutch to the coast of China this time was more powerful than the original historical time and space, after all, they also heard the news that the Spaniards led the invincible fleet of twenty Spanish galleons to Dongfan to negotiate with Guo Zhiyuan but retreated without a fight, so this time they brought twenty-six Dutch battleships equipped with cannon heavy artillery!

And in order to solve the shortcomings of their ignorance of the situation in the Ming Dynasty, the Dutch also gathered the pirate forces along the coast of Fujian, these pirates have no patriotic and national plots, there is milk is a mother, seeing that the fleet of the Dutch is so strong, since the possession gathered, in a short period of time gathered more than 10,000 pirates, more than 100 pirate warships!

Under the guidance of the pirates, the Dutch went straight to the Penghu Islands, originally Guo Zhiyuan built the Penghu Water Village in the Penghu Islands, so that Shen Yourong led the army to garrison on it, and later Qin Shou in order to divide Guo Zhiyuan's team backbone, Shen Yourong was transferred to Nanao to be the chief soldier, and the court did not send someone to replace Shen Yourong, Guo Zhiyuan sent the Xinjun to take over the Penghu Water Village after smashing Qin Shou's vain attempt to control Dongfan, this time in order to lead the Dutch out of the hole, and the garrison of the Xinxin Army was also withdrawn, and the pirates did not dare to occupy the Penghu Water Village, So it has been sitting there all the time.

In addition, since the withdrawal of the new army, the defense facilities of the water village and the housing on the island were not destroyed, when Guo Zhiyuan was building the water village in Penghu, it was built as his own base, and the defense facilities were quite solid, and the Dutch were naturally overjoyed when they saw it, this is a treasure of feng shui! Honestly and unceremoniously occupied the Penghu Water Village!

Of course, the Dutch were also a little worried about Guo Zhiyuan's retaliation, so after occupying the Penghu Water Village, they strengthened the defense facilities on the one hand, and always guarded against the attack of the Dongfan Navy, but after being on guard for half a month, Guo Zhiyuan did not move at all, so the Dutch became more and more emboldened and began to wreak havoc on the coast of Fujian!

The Dutch are different from the Spaniards and the Portuguese, the Spaniards and the Portuguese still talk a little about chivalry, so they still have some scruples about acting, and generally do not rob civilian ships, even if they rob, they rob secretly, but the Dutch do not have so many scruples, they rob civilian ships and merchant ships, and they rob them openly! They began to send warships to cruise along the coast to capture Chinese fishing boats and merchant ships, as long as it was a piece of meat, they would not let go, plus they gathered so many pirates, naturally they had to throw a few bones for them to gnaw, so suddenly set off a bloody storm along the coast of Fujian! The disaster of Hongyi has changed the color of the people along the coast of Fujian!
