Chapter 542: I don't know if these barbarians have been beaten?

The current armies of the Ming Dynasty are not very pleasing to each other.

The East China Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet don't like each other, and the guards who were originally mixed on land to watch the two fleets are not very pleasing to the eye.

I almost asked what you were looking at in person.

For example, the naval fleet thinks that the guards are a bunch of fools, and the problems that can be solved by artillery have to think about copying knives, and the head is broken by the door?

The guards think that the guys in the naval fleet are a bunch of losers, no matter how fast the shells are, they can still have a knife to cut people?

But if it doesn't like it, it doesn't like it, and there is still mutual concern, and now Zheng Zhilong and Zhao Qing are actually worried about whether the guards will suffer big casualties.

Although the scolding is endless.

After a long time, a horse that ran crookedly and even walked to describe it more appropriately showed its figure from the rain, and the red tassel on the horse's head did not feel fluttering at all, but was clinging to the tassel spear.

After the people received the ship, Zheng Zhilong first ordered his soldiers to prepare ginger soup, and then asked, "How is the situation ahead?" Do you want to support? ”

The person who came wiped the rain from his face and grinned: "Back to Lord Admiral, the barbarians in front have almost been wiped out. Commander Shen gave an order, and when the weather cleared, he went to clear the remaining barbarians. ”

Zheng Zhilong nodded at this time, and ordered: "Go and drink a bowl of ginger soup to dispel the cold first, be more careful on the way back, and report to the governor in time if there is any situation." ”

After the messenger had finished reporting the detailed battle situation and retreated to rest, Zheng Zhilong muttered rather depressedly: "Speaking of which, those guys from the Royal Academy are not bad, but how good is it to find a way to spread the sound for thousands of miles?" ”

Zhao Qing was stunned when he heard this, and sneered: "That's the Immortal Family's means, how did the Royal Academy get it?" ”

Zheng Zhilong said: "I know, but I still want to." Think about it, if you and I could know from a distance what is going on in front of us on the ship, wouldn't it be better than you and me getting caught in the rain here? ”

Zhao Qing said with a smile: "Don't think about it, even if you have such a means, you have to use it for the emperor first, you and I have no hope of commanding the army outside." ”

Zheng Zhilong glanced at Zhao Qing and sneered: "Idiot, Your Majesty should naturally use it first, but further down, it should be used first by the commanders of the army like you and me, should you still let the guards of the Ming Dynasty use it first?" ”

Zhao Qing was also stunned, and then smiled: "What I said is that our family is confused." ”

Since the guys in front of the Southern Imperial Forest Army don't have to worry, Zheng Zhilong can be regarded as relieved, and then turned the topic to the East China Sea Fleet: "I don't know what the old man in the south will be angry about?" I don't know if this old guy has cleaned up all the barbarians in the Great Ryukyus? ”

Zhao Qing sighed: "You can really worry about the Southern Admiral, people are also veterans in naval warfare, and the little barbarians entrenched in the Great Ryukyu are naturally not a problem." ”

Zheng Zhilong snorted, then closed his mouth and stopped talking.

Nan Juyi was in the cabin at this time, closing his eyes and recuperating, and his fingers were tapping on the armrests with a sense of rhythm.

After a long time, Nan Juyi closed his eyes and asked, "How far can we catch up with those barbarians?" ”

Qian Haocheng, a guerrilla general of the East China Sea Fleet, bowed down and said: "Your Excellency, now we are getting farther and farther away from those barbarians, their ships are faster than ours, unless we encounter headwinds, there is not much hope of catching up with them." ”

Nan Juyi didn't open his eyes at all: "The course hasn't changed?" ”

Qian Haocheng said: "It hasn't changed. ”

Nan Juyi nodded and said, "It's good that it hasn't changed." Didn't those Hanan Fran barbarians have some East India Company on the Daya side, and they still had to run there. Just catch up slowly. ”

It's just that after finishing speaking, Nan Juyi, who opened his eyes, said in an extremely unkind tone: "Anyway, the direction they ran in happened to pass by Luzon, and it doesn't matter if they can catch up with those barbarians now."

As long as the course doesn't change, we can meet Zheng Zhilong's bastard, and then the old man will help him clean up the Francophone barbarians in Luzon! ”

Listening to the meaning of gnashing his teeth in Nan Juyi's words, Qian Haocheng simply lowered his head and did not reply.

The commander of the East China Sea Fleet, Nan Boss, was angry with Zheng Zhilong, the commander of the South China Sea Fleet, and he still wants to go to Zheng Zhilong for trouble.

In this kind of big guy fight, it's better for a small soldier like himself to mix less, the more he mixes, the faster he will die.

It's just that Nan Juyi just closed his eyes and planned to rest for a while, when he felt the hull of the ship shake violently, and several of his subordinates standing in the cabin stood unsteadily, and only after stumbling and grabbing what they could grasp around them could be regarded as stable.

Nanju Yi opened his eyes fiercely, and was about to ask what was going on, when he saw a herald stumbling in the cabin, and after running into the cabin, he knelt down on one knee and said: "Lord Admiral, the Heronan Franco Barbarian Warship has strayed into the rainstorm ahead!" ”

Nan Juyi shouted: "Order, the fleet retreats five miles, away from the rainstorm for observation, and then moves forward after the rain stops!" ”

After the herald got up, he stumbled out to give the order, and Nan Juyi closed his eyes again to rest.

Nan Juyi is not very worried about the safety of the fleet, after all, the new Fu ship in his fleet is absolutely first-class in terms of wind and wave resistance, far from being comparable to the three-masted battleship of the Francois barbarian.

However, like the South China Sea Fleet, the East China Sea Fleet is not a fleet composed entirely of new-style Fu ships, but also carries a large number of various auxiliary ships, such as ammunition supply ships and food supply ships.

There are even two warships that carry war horses to facilitate landing operations in unexpected situations.

In this case, no matter how confident Nan Juyi is in the new style of Fu, he must also take into account the ability of other ordinary warships to resist wind and waves.

It was precisely because of this that Nan Juyi had to order a retreat of five miles to observe, and was even ready to run farther at any time.

This sudden rainstorm not only caught the East China Sea Fleet off guard, but the Dutch fleet did not even expect to encounter such a thing.

What's even more fucking is that this rain lasted for half a day at once, and it wasn't until nearly the afternoon that the pouring rain turned into a drizzle.

This little rain was no longer a threat to the fleet, and Mattheis, the newly baked leader of the Dutch fleet, ordered people to count them, and found that only four warships were left under his command.

The others went to the sea to feed the fish, just like the previous one.

Ignoring the sadness, Mattheis ordered: "Quick, speed up and get out of the fleet of those Ming barbarians!" If you don't want to return to God! ”

Mattheis planned to run away with his horses, and Nanjuyi almost conveyed the same order: "Spread the order of the Governor, the fleet will speed up the pursuit of those Honan Francous barbarians, and the Governor of Pontus will send them to the sea to feed the fish!" ”

One side ran desperately, the other side puffed up its sails and chased for its life, and the two fleets, one in front and one behind, headed in the direction of Batavia on the sea.

The bored Li Qizi was holding a fishing rod in his hand at this time and was angry.

Why didn't this fish take the bait for a long time? According to common sense, after such a heavy rainstorm has passed, the fish in this sea should also come out to breathe, and the chance of biting the hook should be greater than usual, right?

Are these fish still at home and not going out?

Li Qizi, who waited for a long time and didn't catch a fish, had a slight disgust, threw the fishing rod away, clapped his hands and said: "These fish have not come out when they go home, so they don't fish!" ”

Xiaoqiu, the personal maid, knows what kind of character her young lady is, although she is extremely beautiful, but this kind of work that tests patience, and those embroidery or something, she can't do anything.

Well, the young lady is the most powerful at slashing people with a knife, and it doesn't matter if you embroider or something.

Ignoring Xiaoqiu's smiling expression, Li Qizi instead raised his binoculars and looked at the sea from afar.

How did all those Franco-barbarians in Batavia look like this? With just a few warships here, they don't have the courage to fight? A bunch of cowards! Rubbish!

But no matter what slander Li Qizi had in his heart, the East India Company in Batavia had already decided that he would definitely not go to sea to provoke this group of Ming pirates.

When it comes to the number of warships, these pirates don't have as many warships as the East India Company, but when it comes to the degree of life, the East India Company is far inferior to these pirates of the Ming Kingdom.

They don't take their own lives seriously at all, and they don't take other people's lives seriously, as if killing and being killed in their world are the same concept.

What's more, these pirates of the Ming Kingdom didn't have the slightest chivalry at all, and once they had a chance to get closer, these barbarians would often rush to them.

What's more, the three-masted galleons in those barbarian fleets are very familiar.

With the exception of the Dutch navy, there were no such state-of-the-art warships anywhere else, and even the East India Company could not buy them with their money.

But what happened to these four most advanced Dutch warships in the fleet of these barbarians?

No one from top to bottom of the East India Company would have believed that it was the Dutch who had sold their most advanced warships to the barbarians.

Then there was only one answer - they defeated the Dutch navy and captured four intact battleships.

The East India Company was incapable of defeating the mighty Dutch navy, which in turn was defeated by these savage Ming pirates and captured four warships.

So will the East India Company be able to defeat these savage Ming pirates?

Obviously, that's not possible, even if you think about it with your ass.

In this case, still go to sea to fight these barbarians? What is that not looking for death?

The East India Company, which had made up its mind, simply ignored Li Qizi's provocative behavior at sea, even if Li Qizi only brought his own fleet to fish in the vicinity, the East India Company also ignored it.

This was what the woman had done last time, and the East India Company had lost two of its few warships.

This kind of loss, which could not even find a place to replenish, made the entire East India Company extremely painful.

After a long time, I didn't see the Hotanan East Indian barbarians on the Batavia side come out to do something, and Li Yizi was also disappointed.

was about to order the fleet to return, but he heard Xiaoqiu exclaim: "Miss, look at the back!" ”

When Li Qizi heard this, he turned around and looked at the sea in the distance with his binoculars.

In the distance, there were several large ships on the sea, smaller than the lucky ship they were on, but they were exactly the same as the three-masted warships that the other pirates regarded as treasures.

After carefully observing for a while, Li Qizi smiled and said, "Notify a few other big bosses, just say that the big deal is coming!" ”

After Xiaoqiu finished passing the order, Li Qizi continued: "The little girl has good eyes, and said, what reward do you want?" ”

Xiaoqiu pinched the corners of her clothes, bowed her head and said, "The slave maid just needs to follow the young lady." ”

Li Qizi chuckled lightly and said softly: "Wandering like this on the sea every day, and facing killing, I have wronged you little beauty." ”

But Xiaoqiu is too aware of her young lady's temperament, and such tender exclamations can only exist in the case of convulsions.

Sure enough, Li Qizi, who had finished sighing, continued: "Okay, hurry up and prepare!" ”

Matthew's heart was in despair at this time.

The barbarian fleet behind has not yet been completely shaken off, and there is a possibility of catching up at any time, and what is in front of your eyes?

The Virgin Mary is on top, and in front of me is another barbarian warship!

Although it was not the emblem of the barbarian warship but the pirate emblem on it, the similarity of the ship's shape, coupled with the obvious Chinese characters, all indicated the identity of the battleship on the other side.

It must be with the barbarians!

Looking at Batavia, which was already close in front of him, Mattheis finally ordered, "Speed up!" Bypass that barbarian warship, let's go back to the port of Batavia! ”

Although there was only one battleship in front of him, and in terms of firepower, he still had a greater advantage in this regard, but Mattheis had lost interest in sinking the barbarian battleship on the other side.

The most important thing at the moment is to hurry back to Batavia Port and rely on Batavia Port to fight against the barbaric Ming Navy behind him, otherwise, his only four remaining warships can only go to the sea to feed the fish.

Looking at the actions of the opposite fleet, Li Qizi was also puzzled - where did the battleship on the opposite side come from? What about Zheng Zhilong's fleet? There's only one warship on their side, and they're still thinking about hiding in the harbor?

Looking at the several three-masted battleships that sailed out of the side of Batavia's port, the sneer on Li Qizi's face couldn't be stopped.

I don't know if these barbarians have survived the beating?
