Chapter 356: The Zheng Family's Fear (2)
d "Oh? Do you believe it? Shen Jingchao said in surprise.
Shen Jingchao cast a color backwards.
"Go up!" Several Ming naval soldiers immediately pushed Viscount Leicester and a few other Dutchmen forward.
Shen Jingchao smiled and said nothing.
Zheng Zhilong looked at Viscount Leicester and several other Dutchmen, and he didn't care about the face problem, so he asked directly: "The Viscount is defeated?" ”
Once, in order to deal with the Zheng family, Viscount Lester studied Chinese for a while, and he could still understand it in simple terms.
Regarding Zheng Zhilong's question, Viscount Lester shrugged his shoulders with a wry smile on his face, and said in not very fluent Chinese: "That's it, the seventeen warships I led were defeated by your four warships, your cannons are too powerful, I am not an opponent!" ”
Obviously, Viscount Leicester regards the Zheng family and Daming as together, after all, the Zheng family has been using the name of Daming all these years, and every time they set sail, the flagship is hung with the dragon flag of Daming, although it is not as full as every ship of the Ming Navy, but it is enough to make the Dutch think so.
As for the conversation between Shen Jingchao and Zheng Zhilong just now, smart people can hear the cattiness, but this does not include Dutch people such as Viscount Leicester, the cattiness implied in the dialogue between Shen Jingchao and Zheng Zhilong is 'too profound' for them, and they can only understand the meaning on the face at most.
Zheng Zhilong's face twitched, his face was very ugly, he got confirmation from Viscount Lester's words, it was clear that only four warships were dispatched to defeat the Dutch fleet of fifty ships, including seventeen warships!
Zheng Zhilong was really completely shocked at this moment, and Zheng Hongkui was the same, the Ming Navy had just been established, and its predecessor was just a group of rookies who had not been to sea for more than ten years in the Yangtze River Naval Division, when did it become so powerful.
You must know that the seventeen warships led by Viscount Leicester are nearly one-third of the sea power of the Dutch Far East Fleet, and they were completely defeated by the four warships of Daming, and even Viscount Leicester and others were captured, and he still wanted to confront Daming in vain!
The more Zheng Zhilong thought about it, the more frightened he felt, and finally couldn't help but stumble back, his face slightly pale.
"Lord An Guogong, I heard that the emperor has decreed that you will take your family to the capital to enjoy happiness, I don't know when the prince will leave, don't let the emperor wait for a long time, that's not good, and I have to pressure these Dutchmen to return to the capital to return to the emperor to return to the emperor, so I won't bother the prince much!" Shen Jingchao saw that the goal of deterring Zheng Zhilong had been achieved, and he didn't bother to stay here any longer, so he was ready to leave.
Before leaving, Shen Jingchao also planned to give Zheng Zhilong and the Zheng family a final blow!
"Someone! Pass the order, and before leaving, let Lord An Guo see the power of the cannon that the emperor has equipped us with for the navy! ”
The order was passed down, and the sailors on the flagship of the Ming Navy anchored in the port immediately began to get busy, and they were all in place!
The ship turned slightly, aiming its guns at an open spot in the open sea.
"Reload!"
"Ready, fire!"
"Boom, boom, boom" two types of Shenwu cannons on one side of the warship opened fire at the same time.
In the far sea, more than 5,000 meters at the farthest and 2,000 meters in the last two kilometers, more than a dozen huge water columns exploded, with overwhelming pressure, making Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Hongkui's faces even paler.
This was not the end of it, the sailors of the naval warships continued to reload and open fire.
The first to complete the loading was the field Shenwu cannon of more than 400 catties, and the loading was completed in just ten breaths.
"Fire!"
"Boom, boom, boom" six field Shenwu cannons of more than 400 catties opened fire.
Two thousand meters away, six huge columns of water exploded.
"Reload!" After the shelling, the Shenwu cannon, which was more than 400 catties, was urgently reloaded again.
At the same time that the two-thousand-pound Shenwu cannon was loaded, the more than four-hundred-pound Shenwu cannon was also reloaded for the second time!
"Fire!"
"Boom, boom, boom>
Three shelling in a row just showed the power of the two types of cannons of the Ming Navy!
"Buy Karma! It's God's handiwork! Viscount Leicester and the other Dutch widened their eyes, although they were defeated in the hands of the Ming Navy, they had not really seen the Ming Navy warships shelling up close, and what defeated them was only one of the cannons, the two-thousand-pound Great Shenwu Cannon with a range of more than five thousand meters.
The loading time of the two-thousand-pound Great Shenwu Cannon of twenty breaths was already amazing to them, and what they didn't expect was that the other type of Little Shenwu Cannon on the Daming Warship had a faster loading speed, only ten breaths!
Although the firing range of the small Shenwu cannon is far lower than that of the two-thousand-pound Dashenwu cannon, but the reloading time of only ten breaths is enough to shock, once a melee battle occurs, for the enemy, there is no doubt that the soldiers are a terrifying nightmare, Viscount Leicester admits that the great Holland has been unjustly defeated, and the mysterious Eastern Empire is really too mysterious to be taken lightly!
Compared with the shock of the Dutch such as Viscount Leicester, the Zheng Zhilong brothers were undoubtedly more shocked.
Seeing the terrifying power displayed by the cannons on the warships of the Ming Navy, Zheng Zhilong's face turned pale, his lips trembled, and he couldn't give birth to any thoughts of confronting the imperial court, the imperial court has this artifact, even if the current strength of the Zheng family's naval division, relying on the advantage of numbers, can still occupy the absolute upper hand, but it will not be long before it will be crushed by the newly established 'navy' of the Ming Dynasty!
"Hahahaha, Lord An Guogong take care, Shen has taken a step first, when An Guogong takes his family to the capital in the coming day, Shen will definitely have a good drink with Lord Guogong!"
"Farewell!" After Shen Jingchao finished speaking, after arching his hand to Zheng Zhilong, he pressed Viscount Leicester and the other Dutch to return to the warship.

Under the control of sailors, the warship slowly broke away from the harbor and sailed to the open sea!
Watching Shen Jingchao suppress the captured Dutch fleet and disappear on the sea level, Zheng Zhilong was speechless for a long time.
After a long time, Zheng Zhilong sighed helplessly, as if he had aged several years in an instant, and his whole body was full of loneliness, and he no longer had the domineering spirit of the old days!
"Big brother!" Zheng Hongkui worried.
"Father!" Zheng Sen received the news and also rushed over, but at this time, Shen Jingchao and the others had already left, so Zheng Sen was not able to see Shen Jingchao and the others, but looking at his father Zheng Zhilong's expression at the moment, Zheng Sen couldn't help but be a little worried.
"Needless to say, let's go back!" Zheng Zhilong waved his hand weakly, there was no doubt that at this moment, he was already inclined to compromise with the imperial court.
Back at the Zheng family, Zheng Zhilong immediately summoned all the high-level officials of the Zheng family to make a final decision!
