"Zou Weilian, the governor of Fujian, is respectful of the title of Zou Weilian, the governor of Fujian, for the Weichen to supervise the sea, break the Hongyi, report the great victory, and present the prisoners to show that he is committed to the heavens."

Zou Weilian, the governor of Fujian Province who supervised the division in Haicheng, received various battle reports from the front line, especially the battle experience sent by Zheng Zhilong about the burning and capturing of the Dutch plywood boat, which made him even more excited, "After this battle, the atmosphere of the coastal area of Fujian is empty!" ”

"Once the Dutch are defeated, Liu Xiang and Satsuma Qukui and Li Dashe are all clowns who jump off the beam, and it is not enough to be troubled." One of his cronies was on the sidelines.

"Right now! Immediately write a report to the imperial court, and report the situation here to the Son of Heaven, so as to solve the worries of the monarch's father! ”

"Zhilong's generous man, he repented, swore to destroy the sky, and broke the family to reward the people. It has not been developed for a long time, and the real plan is to be perfect. Although he relied on the generals, he had died in the forward rush. The hard work is high, and the heart is white. Now that Meng Ming can make up for his mistakes, the ministers should treat Deng Qiang like Wang Meng, please add promotion to reward him for his miraculous achievements. Its generals Chen Peng, Guo Xi, Hu Mei, and Chen Lin captured the pseudo-king of the sea, and bravely crowned the three armies. Those who have made meritorious contributions should be rewarded. As for the generals from all walks of life, the soldiers were poorly paid, and they all went to the ministers with partial divisions, encircled and attacked, and destroyed the enemy with many trees, and the momentum of the Zheng Department was strengthened, and it became a great victory for him, and his strength to die was nothing. ”

In the inscription, Governor Zou first reported Zheng Zhilong's merits with great discipline, and reported his actions one by one, and the courage of his subordinates and the general's breaking of the family and the country were all vividly expressed.

"In the early years of the Apocalypse, the city of Penghu was built, and people said that they used soldiers for two years at that time. The fee is 180,000 yuan, and only one version can be burned, although Pengcheng migrated to Taiwan, and its infested Fujian is still the same, then its strength can be known. ”

In the seemingly introduction of the Dutch, tracing the past battle process, Governor Zou quietly asked for some credit for himself. Look! The Apocalypse era lasted for two years, costing 180,000 military salaries, and only one plywood ship was burned. Take back Penghu. In this battle, my result is to burn and capture six Dutch ships! And it was decided by World War I!

"My lord! My lord! Lord Zou's big pen like a rafter was in the middle of the wonderful brushwork, and the Chinese army outside the door hurriedly ran in.

"General Zheng sent his brother Zheng Zhibao to report the victory! Escort Liu Xiang and Li Guozhu (i.e., Li Dashe. He was the son of Li Dan. ), Liu Jiu and others have reached this point. And the seized thieves and ask the adults to check them! ”

politely met with Zhibao, a messenger who has a reputation as a scholar. The salute is over. He also ordered someone to offer tea, and the governor began to inquire about the heads and other things escorted by the Zhibao in front of the war.

"My brother led the boat master to chase after him to the ocean of Nanao Island. Catch up with the retreating Dutch boat division and Liu Xiang's subordinates. With the help of friendly troops, Liu Xiang's troops collapsed! Our army will capture it! ”

Hearing Zhibao introduce the battle situation of the former enemy like this, Governor Zou couldn't help but feel a little regretful, it was like a credit to the sky, and he had to share some profits for Liangguang! But just with this group of wrecks on Nanao Island, they were able to stop the fleeing Dutch, Liu Xiang and others, which can be regarded as shit luck!

"With the help of the two ministries and institutes, the Wuwei Yue boat intercepted head-on, which is to respect the whole merit." Governor Zou reluctantly added a stroke to the title book for his colleagues in the two Guangxi provinces.

But is this the case?

On the wide water from Brother Island in the east to Nanao Island in the west, the battle was actually doomed from the beginning.

Needless to say, the gap between the fleets of Liu Xiang and Li Guozhu and Li Guozhu and the naval divisions of the Nanzhong Army is that on one side it is dominated by Chinese-style lucky ships and bird ships, and the number of guns on board is small, and because of the relationship between the structure of the ships and the keel, most of the guns are erected in the bow of the ship, and there is no gun deck. As for the naval division of the Nanzhong Army, at least 20 guns per ship, the maximum mass of a projectile salvo varies from hundreds of catties to the top.

From the comparison of the crew's body, the Dutch side started the battle with Zheng Zhilong's sailors before dawn, not to mention the huge consumption of the body, and most of the crew except for occasionally drinking some water to moisten their lips, basically did not eat a grain of rice, and finally escaped from Liuluo Bay, and rushed all the way to the west by more than 100 miles of waterway, which can be described as extremely exhausting. And the sailors under Shouhan's subordinates have been waiting for a long time on Nanao Island after eating and drinking.

"Array!"

Shouhan waved his hand lazily, and Chu Tianlei, as the commander of the fleet, gestured to the standard-bearer and division number beside him.

With the wave of the flag on the top of the mast and a few sharp horns, the practice fleet that intercepted Liu Xiang's fleet on Nanao Island quickly lined up fifteen ships into a green dragon formation, which is the so-called "T" shaped formation.

The adjustment of the formation and the formation were all carried out silently in front of Liu Xiang and others, and the capital ships were only placed in the horizontal formation, and the gun ports of the gun windows were opened in turn.

Looking at the dozen or so big ships lying between the escape passage and Nanao Island in front of him, Liu Xiang suddenly had a feeling of two trembling feelings, and was quite comfortable being blown by gusts of sea breeze.

I know my own business. Although Liu Xiang's fleet still has fifty or sixty boats, hundreds of large and small artillery, and thousands of sailors and sailors, the tactics used are still hand-to-hand combat to win a decisive victory, and it can only be regarded as a land camp by boat. And the ships on the other side are almost identical to the Dutch ships, or even higher! Streamlined hull, large-scale full-sail installation, three-tier straight-through gun deck on the side, and a new navy equipped with boring guns.

What's more, on every boat of the Nanzhong Army Naval Division, there is also a piece of equipment that Xiao Huamei called Daddy's killer weapon. The primary version of the artillery mirror developed by Galileo, Descartes and others!

A binocular periscope consisting of two monocular tubes, a directional goniometric mechanism, a high and low goniometric mechanism, and a tripod artillery mirror. It is made of brass and nine-turn steel, which is the main material for the manufacture of the lens barrel, and the nine-turn steel is used to make brackets and platforms to support and hold other parts of the mirror body.

The eight-fold magnification allows artillery observers to clearly observe the battlefield, search for targets, reconnoiter the terrain, observe the shooting effect and determine the deviation of the explosion point, and can also be used to determine the coordinates of artillery positions and observation posts.

The two barrels can be rotated around the hinge axis and open arbitrarily in the range of 0°~180°. In order to enhance the sense of stereo vision or increase the periscope altitude when working in covert conditions. The directional angle measurement range is the full circumference. The high and low angle measurement range is generally -300~+1000 dense position, and the angle measurement accuracy is generally 1 dense position.

This is the first technical achievement made by the three mathematicians and scientists after they arrived in Nanzhong, combined with the technicians of Nanzhong, for Shouhan, and they were brought to Liuluowan for trial.

"You have to remember that the army may be able to rely on individual courage to succeed for a while, but the navy must be the intensive use of new technologies and cultural knowledge. A branch of the military with a strict emphasis on discipline. ”

Let the baby daughter pass the barrel of the cannon team mirror and carefully observe the Liu Xiang fleet on the opposite side. Shouhan did not forget to instill the concept in his daughter in time.

"Lord, the commander of the gun, please instruct, the cannons have been loaded and aimed, can you open the cannon!?"

"Let's get started!"

Shouhan waved his hand. It's as if it's driving away the flies that don't have zài.

"Aim, release!" The gunners in the cabin, who had been stripped of their stripes, completed various movements with their hands and feet neatly under the command of the gunner. Everyone's movements are as natural as their peers. Smooth, and without a single superfluous movement. Under rigorous, almost brutal training, people have become accustomed to this method of warfare. Accustomed to being limited by various rules and regulations to become a certain link in the assembly line. They don't need any courage, they don't need any wit, they just need to follow the requirements of the regulations and the orders of the commander, do a good job of a screw on the war machine, and unconditionally carry out the orders and will of the commander, then, the huge, accurate, and efficient war machine will automatically bomb the enemy in front of them into slag, and the next thing for the gunners is to receive their rewards.

According to the combat experience summed up by the naval division of the Nanzhong Army, the hit rate should be about 10 percent when artillery fire is carried out in a concentrated manner of no more than 400 paces.

The purpose of Shouhan's operation this time was to completely destroy Liu Xiang's group and capture his members as much as possible, rather than killing or wounding, so the discipline of artillery close fire was even stricter.

"Three hundred steps to hit these lucky boats and bird boats is easier than shooting targets!"

A gunner waved the fire rope in his hand and ignited the goose feather tube inside the ignition hole.

Whether all the shells are dozens of pounds of Cron guns, twelve-pounder guns, or eight-pounder guns, the dense cannonballs have only one target, which is the waterline of all the ships in Liu Xiang's fleet!

When the ignition powder in the letter tube was ignited, the full propellant in the cartridge made of silk biological protein was quickly ignited, and the cannonball was pushed forward by the enthusiastic gunpowder gas in the barrel, and the muzzle of the cannon flashed after the earth-shaking loud noise, freeing up a piece of white smoke, and the huge recoil pushed the gun body to move backwards rapidly, compressing the spring on the gun carriage to the extreme, making the spring emit a painful squeak, and the spherical shell was in this series of sounds, smoke, In the middle of the action, he happily flew towards the wooden ships on the opposite side, and the scorching projectiles exceeded the speed of sound at a speed of 340 meters per second, leaving a faint trace of ballistics in the air.

With a piercing whistling sound in mid-air, almost all the shells hit the fortune ships and bird ships not far away.

Enthusiastic shells punched holes the size of wooden basins in the planks, and the shattered shards of the planks became non-prefabricated fragments of the shells, and these self-employed men of the weapons world flew in all directions in the cabin, stabbing the unfortunate soldiers around them with rivers of blood. The castration of the cannonballs, the unbridled collision and bouncing in the cabin, the stumps and bones of the human body, the fragments of various organs, and countless things that were very beautiful and valuable not long ago were mixed together, making people sigh that the mixture of life and wealth is so strange and beautiful.

The naval division of the Nanzhong Army, which was arranged into a green dragon formation, took the Chang Sheng as the dragon head, and a beautiful left assault split Liu Xiang's fleet into two halves, as if it was a big broom, and where it passed, those lucky ships were scattered, and the sailors and soldiers on the ships became floating objects on the water without exception, the difference is that some have life, and some have become floating corpses.

The battleships arranged horizontally did not hesitate to rush towards the depth of the fleet, constantly firing artillery shells intensively, turning one ship after another into broken planks.

"Stop! Stop! “

At the bow of the Chang Sheng, Xiao Huamei kept waving her little arms on the deck and shouting to the people nearby in a loud children's voice, making the people who came and go a little confused, not knowing what the eldest lady wanted to do. In such a chaotic battlefield, which one should you stop and do?

"Daddy! Didn't you say you wanted to capture more?! These ships and people were damaged and killed by shells, how can they be used?! Even if it is not as fast as the Changsheng, it can be used to transport goods and people to and from various places! “

Making full use of their technical and training advantages, the naval division of the Nanzhong Army has been in a one-sided situation. Not only is the speed of the battleship extremely fast when it is downwind, but even when it is headwind, crosswind, and wind, the speed of the ship is more than double that of those lucky ships in Liu Xiang's fleet, and it is also flexible in handling and steering. Don't worry about getting bored, caught up, or jumping. So the method of taxiing at a constant speed was adopted, and when the guò was shelled once, a Daifuku ship could be scuttled with cannonballs, and then another salvo was fired at another ship with another gunwale. then sank another.

It's like a beautiful pear garden kid making a beautiful figure on the stage. Dazzling. On the side and behind the fleet, there are dense floating objects and human heads swimming on the surface of the sea, and more than a dozen Daifuku boats are slowly sinking.

Facing the sailors of the Nanzhong Army who rushed over, Liu Xiang and Li Guozhu, who had just jumped onto his boat. Almost so shocked that even the jaw almost fell to the surface of the foot, water battles have always been after artillery fire, the sailors jumped on each other's decks to slash each other, but they didn't expect that relying on artillery fire alone, the other party could put themselves to death!

"Pass the order! The wind hunters put down their boats, capture the prisoners, reduce the density of firepower of each ship, and Lao Tzu wants people and ships! ”

With the wave of flags in the hands of the signalmen, the eight wind hunters arranged at right angles in the horizontal formation lowered their boats one after another and began to capture the prisoners on the sea.

"My general has the virtue of a good life!! Listen to the boat on the other side! As long as the anchor falls and the sail is abandoned, those who kneel on the ground will be spared death! ”

As the dinghy cruised back and forth on the sea, the soldiers of the Xuanwu Battalion of the Nanzhong Army salvaged the members of Liu Xiang's fleet who were struggling to survive in the sea water one by one like catching soup chickens. This action made Liu Xiang's subordinates suddenly overwhelm the idea of resisting. is different from the consistent style of Liu Xiang, Zheng Zhilong and others, these two groups of people are all from maritime merchants, and they are good maritime merchants, and if they are ugly, they are pirates. Trade is backed by force, either jumping gangs to rob goods without hurting people (unless the other party resists), or money and goods are wanted, or people don't want them! Once you do it, it is bound to be the blood that melts into the seawater, and the corpse becomes a delicacy for sharks on the surface of the water. No one had a bodhisattva heart to salvage the opposing soldiers who had fallen into the water, (oh!) Forget, it seems that Zheng Zhilong and others are all Catholics, and they are not all the way to the Bodhisattva. Therefore, such a move is no less powerful than the artillery of the South Central Army.

For a time, the ships on the sea dropped anchor and lowered their sails, and the sailors knelt on the deck.

"Lord, the outpost brothers have sent a battle report, they have captured at least a thousand people, please tell me what to do with these people?"

"Ship it to the island of Nan'ao, hand it over to the brothers there, and tell them that there are at least 2,000 people in the water at sea, and continue to arrest me!"

The captives in the dinghy were stuffed like canned sardines and sent to the Wind Hunter, which then transshipped them to Nan'ao Island. When they arrived on the island, many islanders came to look for their brothers, nephews and husbands, and for a while, the crying on the pier shook the sky and made a mess.

"Lord, do you want to send someone to suppress it? It's not a thing to cry like this all the time! ”

"No need! This kind of crying is just crying with joy after seeing that a loved one is safe, so you don't have to pay attention to him. Moreover, no matter how strong a person is, when he sees his family, he will also consider the life and death of his family, and he will no longer have the heart to make trouble. ”

The cry drifted farther and farther away from the thinning of the cannon on the sea, and the sailors could hear it clearly in the remaining boats.

"Gan Yi Niang! The girl who Lao Tzu was good with on the island, the last time she asked someone to talk, she already had a doll in her belly, and she asked Lao Tzu to propose! Otherwise, it's ugly! ”

"My father and mother are on the island, waiting for my military salary this month! It's good now, I'm afraid I'm going to become a tribute to the Dragon King! ”

In the eyes of Liu Xiang's subordinates, this kind of crying and shouting was no less than the intensive bombardment of artillery.

However, the shouting that followed on the surface of the sea was even more lethal!

"The general has an order! Among Liu Xiang's subordinates, those who can capture Liu Xiang, Liu Jiu, and Li Dashe, the so-called leaders of the Thirteen Houses, will be exempted from death and rewarded with more than 100 silver dollars! ”

In this shout, Liu Xiang was very frightened to find that the eyes of the people around her were a little wrong.

Li Dashe, who was next to him, waved the Japanese sword and scabbard in his hand and beat the sailors, scolding in Fujian dialect mixed with Fusang dialect while beating.

"Red deer! Take their word for it, you stupid pigs! ”

However, next to Liu Xiang's boat, there was a slight sound of fighting, followed by the sailors throwing the heavy iron anchor into the water, someone waved a short knife to cut the sail rope, and the sail on the mast fell in response.

"We surrender! We've caught Liu Jiu! Surrender, adults! ”

On the bow of the ship, several sailors were pressing Liu Xiangyizi, who was struggling with his own strength, and Liu Jiu, who was named the Seventeenth House.

"Captain, let's go!" Li Guozhu is also a single, worthy of being the son of Li Dan, the king of pirates at sea, with a short fire gun in his hand, and several henchmen threaten the rest of the sailors to try to escape from the battlefield.

"Still want to go?!"

From the artillery mirror, Shouhan saw the situation on the Dafu ship clearly, and the captured Liu Xiang's subordinates came to identify the two people on the ship, namely Liu Xiang and Li Guozhu.

"Let's shoot!"

A row of cannons passed, and Liu Xiang's boat was also scuttled.

"Ship Master Liu, Li Dashe, the two of you have worked hard. What's going to eat? Under here, there are wonton stews and plate noodles! ”

At the bow of the Changsheng, Shouhan kindly met with Liu Xiang and Li Guozhu, who were tied up like zongzi.

"Water war, water war is not your way of fighting!"

After holding back for a long time, Liu Xiang suddenly popped out such a sentence, which startled Li Guozhu, who was thinking about how to beg for mercy.

"I tell you that naval battles should be fought like this, and in the future I will have bigger ships and more ruthless cannons! But you may not be able to see that day! ”

Liu Xiang's fleet collapsed faster than everyone imagined, and there was no time to celebrate the victory, leaving eight wind hunters to clean up the battlefield on the surface of Nanao Island, and continue to search for the remnants of the enemy.

However, what he didn't expect was that this troublemaker not only completed the task assigned to him by Shouhan, but also almost exceeded the quota.

For this reason, Shouhan was furious. (To be continued......)
