Zhang Lin looked at the approaching fleet, did not hesitate, and immediately sounded the combat alarm. He was here to intercept all the ships that passed by, and the opposing fleet came with murderous spirits.

Zhang Lin took out his binoculars and looked at the sea area in front of him, the warships of the two sides, the distance difference was less than five miles, and they could see the other side's fleet clearly with the naked eye.

The distance was not far away, and the three observers carefully counted them on the mast several times, and then several people discussed them together, and soon came to the specific number of fleets encountered, and the enemy's warships at sea must not be omitted, otherwise the commander-in-chief would make a wrong judgment, and if there was a mistake in the naval battle, human life should be used as a lesson.

Zhang Lin's commander-in-chief ship soon received the specific number of ships encountered, eighteen warships.

Zhang Lin used to use the weapon advantage of the Fuchuan warship to crush the pirates who did not have hot weapons, and it was extremely easy to start the war, but now when he encountered this kind of soft sailing ship, Zhang Lin knew that the enemy's strength would not be worse than his own, but more powerful.

The soft sailing ship had been captured by Chen Zijian nine times before, and Zhang Lin had seen the artillery on this kind of ship, and there were more than fifty guns on one ship, and such an opponent was the strongest opponent the navy had encountered.

Zhang Lin knew how well he commanded, and he didn't think about commanding all the warships, but dealt with them according to the wolf pack tactics given by Chen Zijian, which was simply three to one, and the three battleships of the Volunteers formed a small team, and then attacked one of the enemy's warships.

At its peak, the Dutch East India Company had 150 merchant ships, 40 warships, 20,000 employees and more than 10,000 mercenaries, and sent eighteen warships, which was already good, and they wanted to maintain a monopoly on global trade, and not all warships would come.

The naval battle started, first of all, Zhang Lin's side opened fire, Zhang Lin regarded this sea area as his own back garden, and broke into a group of enemies where they needed nonsense, first kill the other party, and then inquire about the other party's intentions. And in the eyes of the volunteers, it is a huge credit, a shortcut to promotion and wealth, and the morale is high, and there is no need for Zhang Lin to improve morale.

"Bang!"

"Bang"

A continuous burst of artillery rang out, and the collision of the two forces began.

Dutch Governor Putmans, with a telescope, looked at the fleet in front of him, frowned, as the global hegemon of the Dutch East India Company, the world is prosperous, but in East Asia, especially in the face of the Ming Dynasty, it is very jealous. The reason is very simple, the Dutch wanted to occupy a piece of land on the land of the Ming Dynasty as a trade point like the Portuguese, but unfortunately the result was the famous naval battle of Kinmen Liuluo Bay in 1633. As a result, the Dutch were defeated, and the clear request of the imperial court was that the Dutch should go to the Daguan who were not part of the Chinese territory, not to the coast of China.

The Dutch occupied Taiwan, which is the current big man, not what they wanted.

Suddenly encountering the fleet, Putmans wanted to ask the other party's intentions, but unfortunately the opposite fleet had already opened fire. As the top of the East India Company, no one was allowed to challenge.

……

When Chen Zijian received the results of the naval battle, it was already a day later, and after reading the battle report, the death toll of the navy reached 123, and 51 of the volunteers who withdrew were seriously wounded, and the minor injuries were ignored, and the loss of eight warships and 13 warships in need of major repairs were silent, and the navy lost half of its combat strength.

Of course, the Volunteer Navy is not easy to bully, it was transformed by Chen Zijian to be a lucky ship, the number of guns on a single battleship is less than that of Dutch ships, the power of artillery is at the same level, and the Volunteers have more warships than the Dutch, and the Volunteers are not comfortable in the naval battle, and the Netherlands is even more sad.

According to the news reported by Zhang Lin, eleven Dutch ships were sunk, five ships were captured without power, and three escaped.

The Volunteers had two paddle wheels behind the ships, and during the war, Fukubune took advantage of this speed and steering advantage to occupy advantageous conditions, which caused the Dutch to suffer heavy losses. The power of the paddle wheel was fifty volunteers riding something like bicycles, and the strength was exhausted in the early stage, and the remaining three soft sailing boats in the Netherlands fled later, and they were unable to pursue them.

In terms of using the wind, the Dutch ships were more advantageous, and the Volunteers still used hard sails, and they could not catch up without the premise of increasing the speed of the paddle wheel.

Even so, it can be said that the losses of the Netherlands this time have been dealt a heavy blow, and the maritime forces in Asia have basically been completely struck, and the remaining three soft sailing ships have fled in the direction of the island of Taiwan.

In addition to these, Zhang Lin captured more than 300 people in this battle, all of them were uninjured prisoners, and it was impossible to fight without uninjured people, as for the wounded Dutch, they were thrown into the sea to feed the fish.

Knocking on the table, it is not a thing to die in a war, if you don't die in a war, it is a strange thing, for the dead brothers, Chen Zijian will arrange their funeral, Ci is not in charge of the army Chen Zijian knows, embarking on the road of rebellion, Chen Zijian knows that his rise will kill many people, many, many, but he still does it, the rise of the nation, someone needs to sacrifice.

Zhang Youde received Chen Zijian's notice and hurriedly came from other places.

Chen Zijian gave him the documents, "Deal with your brother's funeral to you, each brother's compensation must be in place, whoever dares to embezzle the brother's compensation, I will be very angry, you know!" ”

For Zhang Youde, Chen Zijian trusts, otherwise he would not be allowed to be the No. 2 person in Zhangjiacheng, Chen Zijian reminded Zhang Youde that it was his subordinates, Zhang Youde had a group of Ming scholars, all of whom could not be admitted to Xiucai, Chen Zijian never let go of his prejudices against them, if there were no talents to replace them, Chen Zijian would have kicked those people out a long time ago.

Zhang Youde was awe-inspiring, he went out to do things, he knew what Chen Zijian was referring to, Zhangjiacheng was Chen Zijian's Yiyantang, if he was angry, a large number of people would be unlucky.

Chen Zijian: "Hehe, after catching hundreds of Dutchmen, it's interesting, the sulfur on the island of Taiwan has not been mined by manpower, and these are the best laborers." ”

"Come on, prepare the horses."

A horse team of 200 men soon set off for Dianbai County.

There was a large-scale naval battle, few people knew that except for the two sides of the battle, Chen Zijian did not plan to release the news, the people still lived their own lives, let them know the process of the naval battle, there was no use for a dime, Chen Zijian was too lazy to say.

Dianbai County barracks, is busy and busy, this time the navy came back, scared everyone, the loss is unprecedented, the wounded brothers after disinfection and bandaging, recuperation for a period of time can return, because with a baptism of naval battle, they will be more powerful, before only the battleship was strong, after a battle to the death, the navy grew rapidly.

Serious injury treatment place, Wu Qi carefully untied the sackcloth of a volunteer's left leg bandage, and listened to other brothers say that this brother's left leg was directly hit by artillery, and his right leg could not be directly below the calf, and the back was urgently bandaged by the volunteers to prevent excessive blood loss.

Wu Qi cleaned the wound with alcohol, and after the examination, there was no other foreign body, and the wound was retreated, and then the wound was bandaged with a clean cloth.

Dealt with one Wu Qi and then the next, the injured volunteers exceeded two hundred, the minor injuries were okay, they could be supported, and the seriously injured volunteers had to be dealt with quickly.

The standardized injury treatment method has greatly reduced the injury and attrition of the volunteers, even if they have broken hands and feet, there will not be more wound infections in the later stage, thanks to the application of penicillin. Penicillin has been used by the Volunteers a long time ago, and the Volunteers have adapted to it.

The wounded are dull on this side, and the volunteers on the other side are happy, it is the volunteers who are not injured, this battle, many brothers died and were injured, but what is this, there are no dead people there in these years, the volunteers have such a small loss, and they have achieved victory, and everyone thinks about how much credit they have.

During the battle, three battleships deal with the enemy's one ship, and it is somewhat difficult to calculate the specific personal credit, and the credit is calculated according to the three battleships, and a team of battleships sinks an enemy ship, and this credit is counted in this squad. This credit is then distributed according to the way the individual on board does things.

Of course, the captain of the battleship undoubtedly received the greatest credit, and everyone on board would not have doubts, the captain cut a big credit, and the rest of the people could share the credit, after all, this battle was won.

Three Dutch ships fled to Taiwan, causing panic in the Dutch stronghold in Taiwan, this time they suffered heavy losses, Daming has no strength in this area to compete with that unknown force, no strength is to be slaughtered, the Dutch were afraid of Daming for the first time, even if the Dutch had a naval battle with Daming before, that time they failed, but the loss was not much, just withdrew from the land of Daming to open a stronghold in Taiwan.

This battle loss, being defeated head-on by that force, things are not simple.
