This clash of naval power between the Dutch and the Chinese, the Chinese won!

And to win the swagger, the scenery is beautiful.

The ten plywood ships of the fleet of the Dutch East India Company, one Chinese warship they called the "Junk Ship", and the fifty or sixty warships of Liu Xiang's gang as mercenaries and allies, were all annihilated, captured, sunk, or burned except for the flagship Fort Middle.

In the first battle at Liaoluo Bay, then at Nan'ao Island, and three at Brother Island, the Dutch lost their maritime strength in three places.

In the original history, according to the Dutchman's own "Diary of the City of Batavia", the number of Dutch captives was about 100. It can be seen that the Dutch lost this naval battle, and it can be said that it suffered heavy losses. According to the report of Zou Weilian, the governor of Fujian, "118 people were captured by the family planners, 20 were killed by the Yi class, 5 giant ships were burned and 1 was destroyed, more than 50 boats were destroyed, and armor, swords, compasses, charts and other things were all recorded. And the corpses of the dead before and after were dragged away, and those who failed to cut the level were difficult to count, and they did not dare to narrate. ”

However, under the huge butterfly wings of Shouhan, the contrast between the sea power of the Ming army and the sea power of the Netherlands has changed dramatically, and the result of this naval battle has also deviated a lot. Not to mention anything else, the Dutch's Taiwanese governor Putsmann was only spared, and led a dilapidated Fort Middle, escorted by the naval division of the South Central Army, along the line of Ma Gong and Dayuan to the Dutch base Chiji City.

Victory!

Nearly two-thirds of the sailors and soldiers of Liu Xiang's gang were captured, and more than 40 ships, large and small, became trophies of the Nanzhong Army.

in the fleet of the East India Company. Of the five ships that had escaped from the fire in Liaoluo Bay with great difficulty led by Putsmann, one was sunk, and the other three were all taken prisoner. More than 200 Dutch were captured.

The island of Nanao has become a big barracks!

As far as the eye could see, there were soldiers and sailors in helmets and armor, their faces full of triumphant joy and pride, and the dense masts of the harbor and bay seemed to have turned the sea into a forest overnight.

The General Military Mansion built in the fourth year of Wanli, there are two handsome flags hanging high on the flagpole in the square in front of the door, one side is written with the character Li, and the other is a character Zheng.

Take the flagpole as the center line. There were two rows of soldiers on either side. From the flagpole all the way to the lobby of the General Soldier's Palace.

Poor South Australian Deputy Commander-in-Chief. Now it has almost become a land of mountain gods in Journey to the West who is used by powerful and powerful demons to raise the bell and cheer and patrol the mountains and watch the wind.

After Shouhan landed on Nanao Island to celebrate his victory, Zheng Zhilong, who crisscrossed the sea of Fujian and Guangdong. It is also on the sea surface of Brother Island, and the smoke of gunpowder has not yet dissipated. While the burning planks were still smoking. Rushed here.

On the battlefield, Chen Peng, Hu Mei and others introduced the situation to the marshal Zheng Zhilong, especially the seven warships of the Nanzhong Army besieged the four plywood ships. The matter of sinking one and capturing three alive was explained to Zheng Zhilong.

"This gunboat of the naval division of the Nanzhong Army is so sharp!"

Hearing his subordinates say that there was a cannon that could break the mast with one shot, Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but gasp.

"Li Dashuai This is also a favor for us to help, people come from thousands of miles to help, we don't go to visit, it's really a bit rude."

Half of it was a courtesy visit, half of it was a taste of showing off its strength and showing off its strength, and the next morning, Zheng Zhilong's sailor appeared on the water surface of Nanao Island.

As a result, Nanao Island, which was already a little crowded by the South China Army, suddenly came with more than 10,000 sailors and more than 100 ships, and it became more and more crowded. From the chimney pier that serves as an alarm watchtower on the seaside, to the head town office, to Wupingzhai, Yungai Temple, and Nanshan Temple, which is preparing to expand from the fire temple to a full-fledged temple, there are soldiers and sailors everywhere. Just about 10 meters from the surging sea, there is a long queue of people who fetch water to wash their faces and replenish fresh water on the boat. This well, which is said to have been excavated in the first year of Jingyan in the Southern Song Dynasty, has always been the first choice for ships that have been kept in and out of water for a long time because of its pure and sweet water.

The baggage workers of the two families bought fresh supplies from the islanders who lived on the sea on Nanao Island: mackerel, pomfret, red sea bream, grouper, nutritious and delicious swordfish and tuna. A few salmon sharks that are only found in the depths of the sea make these people in the stormy waves smack, "I'm afraid there are thousands of catties, tens of thousands of catties?!" "Compared with these huge sea sharks, hundreds of pounds of sunfish are a bit pediatric. As for the shellfish commonly found along the coast of Fujian, such as oriental snails, tengu snails, mud cockles, clams, and ......flower clams, they can only be piled up at the corners of the street in baskets, exuding bursts of fishy smell. The arrival of two armies, nearly 20,000 men, saw a huge business opportunity on this island, which had been dependent on the sea for hundreds of years, and was immediately relieved from the fear and panic of war and artillery fire, and almost overnight it was transformed from a coastal coastal fortress into a thriving commercial town, with bustling streets.

The fisherman girl who carried a basket selling longan citrus and sugar cane listened to the crisp and pleasant sound of the tongbao in her coat pocket when it hit each other, and her face was full of happy smiles when she was red by the sea breeze; The dark-skinned, tangle of muscles like tree roots, the fisherman did not care to wipe the snot from his flat nose, but counted the silver dollars in his hand that he had sold for the catch he had caught overnight. The big basket in front of him was full of groupers that were still writhing, and then huge tuna. In the depths of the streets, there are also soldiers of Zheng Jun who are familiar with the way to the homes of several women who rely on the door to make a living by laughing to solve physiological problems.

The two sides have more active brains, and take advantage of this rare leisure time to set up stalls and sell or exchange the goods they carry.

However, to the surprise of the sailors of the Nanzhong Army, it was their surplus supplies that were the fastest to shoot: canned pork, ham, bacon, canned fruits, and salted eggs. There are even Baotian pills, which are all sought-after goods in Zheng Jiajun's eyes.

"Pu your mother! At sea, every day is boiled fish under the sea, today I bought this meat porcelain jar, salted duck eggs, and you can adjust the taste when you go back to eat! ”

On the side of the square in front of the General Soldier's Palace, the lush canopy of a decades-old banyan tree shades a large area of shade, and countless thin aerial roots hang down from the branches, some of which have fallen to the ground, and some have been deeply rooted in the soil and become part of the nutrients for the tree.

On the two branches with the thickest canopy. Two large flags were tied. The flag hangs down from the tree so that people can read the words written on it.

"Recruitment".

"Recruit sailors"!

On Nanao Island, where "everyone can be a thief, and every household can hide a traitor", such a scene is not uncommon. From Wu Ping to Lin Feng and Li Dan. to Liu Xiang, who passed by here not long ago. Recruiting flags were once erected here, recruiting sailors and soldiers who could roam the seas and fight ships.

Raise the recruiting flag. Own food recipients.

Two long dragons meander from the General Soldier's Mansion to the city gate.

Under the recruiting banner were Zheng Zhilong's subordinates, who talked to young men about the benefits of joining the Zheng family's army.

It is written that the sailor recruitment office is naturally a person from the naval division of the Nanzhong Army. Unlike the Zheng family, the officers of the naval division of the Nanzhong Army did not hype up their benefits, but let the facts speak.

In the open space between the back of the banyan tree and the flagpole, six cooking carts were set up, and there were seven or eight makeshift pots and stoves beside them, where things were boiling hot. Through the bamboo lid on top of the bucket, the white water vapor is rising, and the fragrance of rice wafts everywhere in the huge wooden barrel, making the children watching the excitement on the side can't stop sniffing their noses and sniffing the pure rice greedily. Several cauldrons were rolled and licked by the tongue of fire at the bottom of the pot, and the inside of the pot was indiscriminately cut into huge pieces of meat by the rough firefighters, and the soup was tumbling together, making people drool; In the pot next to it, the firefighters used a huge shovel to stir-fry the fat slices in the pot that were large enough for a child's palm, and the meat slices and peppers were stir-fried together, and the aroma of the children sucked their fingers and probed their brains to look at it.

An elderly firefighter saw that the child on the side was almost plunging into the pot, and couldn't help but feel a little compassionate, "Alas! Poor child! He picked up two huge iron rice bowls from the bamboo basket on the side, put a bowl of rice in the bowls, scooped two spoonfuls of meat from a large pot that was constantly tumbling with broth, oil and flowers, and handed them to a child at the head, "Go!" Go over there and eat! He pointed to the bluestone bench under the banyan tree.

The children cheered and ran to the Nanzhong army column that was recruiting sailors, and waited to see if their father and uncles could find something to do here.

"Dead and decrepit! Where's the good food?! A person in the queue saw this scene and couldn't help but feel angry. We are poor or poor, but we have to rely on ourselves for every meal, how do you steal other people's things? ”

Before the child, who was frightened by his brother and didn't react, could talk, an officer who was maintaining order next to him scolded the recruit, "What are you calling? That's what we give to the kids, what the hell are you birds?! ”

"Boy, if you're picked in a while, do you see?" The officer pointed to the temporary room behind him with the scabbard of the short knife in his hand, "There are so many delicious things, I'm afraid your belly is not big enough!" ”

"Chief, I didn't have breakfast yet!" Someone laughed haha.

"Go! Even if you haven't eaten since you were born, you can eat enough today! I also sue you that you will eat this every day from now on! ”

The power of example is endless.

Seeing the children who had not yet reached their chests holding rice bowls almost the size of a human head in their hands and holding rice bowls uncontrollably, walking past the queue, their faces covered with rice grains and oil, people suddenly made a choice.

"Whoa!"

The ranks of the South Central Army recruiting sailors suddenly more than doubled in size, and the ranks were suddenly noisy, shouting, scolding, and pushing.

Those children held rice bowls in their hands and watched the people in the team constantly pushing and scolding, and couldn't help but let out a burst of laughter, they didn't know that invisibly, they had become the leading actors in the recruitment advertisements of the South Central Army.

"Bastard!"

A little boy of eight or nine years old, escorted by several personal soldiers, whipped and whipped the small leather whip in his hand and whipped at the people who were plugged in the ranks of the South Central Army. Although the force was not great, it also hit several people who tried to join the team to cover their heads and faces.

"Yaga! I make you traitors! ”

The little boy's Hokkien-accented Mandarin and Fusang dialect were mixed together and spewed out, along with the cursed words and the small leather whip in his hand.

The person who was whipped by the small leather whip in his hand couldn't help but have fire in his eyes, and planned to step forward and use his fist to teach this bastard boy who didn't know the reason why people go to high places and water flow to low places, but looking at the few short and stout soldiers behind the kid, wearing a long knife at his waist and stepping on clogs at his feet, he could only swallow a bad breath back into his stomach.

"His Highness Fukumatsumaru! His Highness Fukumatsu Maru! Please stop being angry! The soldiers behind him trotted all the way to him, knelt down on the ground, and prostrated to him, begging him to put away the wrath of the thunder.

"I've seen the young marshal!" The two Zheng Jiaqian who were in charge of recruiting recruits here hurriedly came over to salute His Royal Highness Fumatsu Maru.

"Yaga! Father asked you to recruit troops here, what are you going to do! "It looks obviously inferior to the recruit corps on the other side. His Royal Highness Fumatsumaru's angry little chest couldn't help but rise and fall. The small whip in his hand kept whipping in the air one after another, making a whirring sound, venting the anger in his heart.

An unlucky guy Qian Zong was taken by the whip, and immediately a bloody mark appeared on his face. But I don't dare to make a mistake. I had to defend myself with my mouth.

"Big young marshal. We can't be blamed for this, the marshal has something to say, so he can only recruit. It cannot be forcibly requisitioned. You see. He took out a piece of paper from the belt of the armor and handed it to His Highness Fukumatsumaru.

"This is the opposite side of the recruiting conditions."

A sailor can receive a salary of five silver dollars a month, and there is a wartime allowance called ration during the war, and there is a subsidy for going to sea, including three meals a day, three meals with oil, two meals with meat, one meal with sugar cane wine, and enough rice to eat. Seasonal clothes are distributed every quarter, and when you go to sea, you can also carry goods no more than 20 kilograms or no more than the length of a piece of cloth to the sea for trade, and you can be exempted from customs duties.

"Also, the other side said that if the recruits can read and write roughly, and know how to calculate, they can go to the Sailor Academy for training after passing the examination, and they will come out with a boatswain or a gun and sail officer, and the other side will eat well, and the military salary is more than what we give, so ......" That Qian was a little dumbfounded, and he clearly saw that Fumatsu Maru's white little face was flushed.

"Go! Get rid of their recruiting office! Tear down that broken flag of theirs! ”

"Big young marshal! No, you can't! The marshal is discussing with Marshal Li in the General Military Officer's Mansion, and at this time, we must not provoke right and wrong, so as not to cause trouble to the marshal and break the marshal's military order, we can't afford to be guilty! ”

His Royal Highness Fumatsumaru didn't care about that, and rushed towards the sailor recruitment office opposite with a small leather whip.

"Big young marshal! No! A twelve or thirteen-year-old boy hugged the impulsive body of His Highness Fumatsu Maru.

"Shi Lang! You coward! Red deer! Eat the traitor inside and out! Are you going to disobey my military orders?! His Royal Highness Fumatsumaru's wrist holding the whip was tightly pinched by the young man, and the small leather whip in his hand danced weakly in front of Shi Lang.

Na Shilang is the son of Shi Daxuan, a sentry officer under Zheng Zhilong and the owner of the small boat, a native of Longhu Yakou, Jinjiang, Fujian, although he is talented and intelligent, he is naturally active, and likes to play with guns and sticks, loves the sea, and after reading books for two or three years, he cried and shouted that he wanted to follow Abba on the boat. Shi Daxuan had no choice, thinking that his son would inherit his father's business, accompanied by father and son at sea, and multiple helpers, so he kept his son by his side, and together with the large and small ships in Zheng Zhilong's fleet, after several years of experience at sea, Shi Lang was not only proficient in sailing, but also knew the climate, hydrology and geography of coastal waters well. The uncles in the fleet praised this baby for being born at sea.

is also the second generation of Zheng Zhilong's water master, His Royal Highness Fumatsu Maru naturally knows Shi Lang, and they get along well on weekdays. But today, Shi Lang stopped him from smashing the recruitment office of the Nanzhong Army's Naval Division, which made His Royal Highness Fumatsu Maru extremely annoyed!

"The big man! You let go of him! I want to see who has the audacity to smash my yard and tear my flag! ”

Xiao Huamei appeared under the banyan tree in a huff surrounded by seven or eight pro-soldiers, and looked at the two guys opposite viciously with fire in her big eyes.

This is how the three little children met.

"Who are you?" His Royal Highness Fumatsu Maru was still a little ignorant, and he looked at the little girl opposite who was about his own age.

However, Shi Lang, who has urinated on the mountain to collect firewood since he was a child, and even sold illegal salt in the seaside salt yard for a few days, has a good eye, and can see that the little girl on the opposite side who is wearing the uniform of the Nanzhong Army Sailor is not a mortal. And with a mouthful of my family's and my family's, can this be an ordinary person?

He consciously let go of the arm holding His Royal Highness Fumatsu Maru, but unexpectedly, this release, His Royal Highness Fumatsu Maru took advantage of the situation to stagger backwards, and took advantage of the situation to pull out the short knife of the saber at his waist, and pulled out a rib gap.

"If I don't cut this flag today, I won't be Fumatsu Maru!"

And Xiao Huamei was not to be outdone, the waves sounded, like a deep-sea dragon groaning, and a short knife was like a lightning bolt in the night sky, which shook the eyes of the onlookers present.

"Good knives!"

Shi Lang couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart. Not much else, the knife is made of iron steel throughout, and the handle is inlaid with a piece of lazuli, which means that this knife is worth a lot.

"It's over! The young marshal is about to cause a big disaster! I'm afraid this little girl is not the daughter of an important figure in the Nanzhong Army?! ”

Shi Lang is starting to worry about His Highness Fukumatsumaru! (To be continued......)

PS: Two questions need to be explained, first, who is Fumatsu Maru? Second, Shi Lang's name is not that I mistyped, but that his real name at this time is Shi Lang.
