The purpose of causing trouble was not achieved, and the Dutch did not succeed, but was blocked by the pirates of the Ming Dynasty, and Sanchez had the intention of cutting people.

After thinking about all the processes carefully, Sanchez didn't find out what the problem was - the flag was Dutch, the battleship was a three-masted galleon produced by the Netherlands, the soldiers were all dressed as completely Dutch, and even the ships that had withdrawn from the battlefield fled in Batavia.

In this case, why did those damn Ming pirates find a flaw and block the door?

Although it is a headache for these Ming pirates, if Sanchez is afraid because of this, it is not likely.

To put it bluntly, all the preparations in Luzon today are for the regular army of the Ming Dynasty, so from personnel to weapons and equipment, they are sufficient, although it will be a little troublesome to kill these pirates, but there is no problem of fear.

As for the pirates blocking the door, it doesn't matter.

Weapons and personnel were sufficient, and the pirates did not have the courage to break into the port directly, let alone land on the shore.

As for supplies or something, with their backs to Luzon, they still have to worry about supplies?

It's these pirates who should be worried about supplies - it's easy to say that there is food at sea, fish is almost endless, but water is the biggest problem.

If you don't have enough water, wait to die!

Li Qizi and the others obviously didn't care much about this issue.

The problem of water shortage is indeed a very serious problem for the long-distance fleet, but for this group of Ming pirates, it is really not a big problem.

The nearest places to get water are Majapahit and Java, and it is a big deal to send two ships to carry water back and forth, and even the soldiers can recruit enough Ming people from Java nearby - the people who dare to go to sea to Java will certainly not be too honest, and they are usually bolder.

The biggest problem is that these people have not undergone strict training, and it is still difficult for them to use knives and slash people.

If you change to a firebolt, you can train for a while, and the sword will take longer.

There is also the fact that Zheng Zhilong's fleet must be on the way back - what kind of character is Emperor Chongzhen, these pirates also know in their hearts that the possibility of not retaliating and going back is basically zero.

But Li Qizi and other pirates really didn't expect Zheng Zhilong to be so powerful, and dragged five Francophone battleships at one time.

Although one was for the Emperor, so it was not their turn, but the four battleships plus the three Franc battleships they got their hands on, this was a full seven.

Enough to make a whole fleet.

What's even more terrifying is that Zheng Zhilong relayed the will of Emperor Chongzhen and gave the pirates the fire guns that had been eliminated from the Great Ming Guard.

You know, the earliest of these firecrackers was only made in the first year of Chongzhen, and the most recent was made in the sixth year of Chongzhen, because the problem of range and accuracy has been eliminated from the Daming Guard, but the firecrackers used by those barbarians are not lagging behind at all.

This is good news, arguably the best news so far, because these firecrackers used to be good things that had nowhere to buy them with money.

Now not only these pirates have been issued to themselves, but even the people of the Ming Dynasty who have lived in Java have each had a firearm and were issued with the corresponding projectiles - as long as they have the household registration certificate of the Ming Dynasty, they can go to the government to buy them after the allocated projectiles are used up.

Of course, these pirates are basically the same as the firearms used by the people of Java, but the pirates don't need to go to the government to explain the usefulness of the projectile after the projectile is run out like the people, they just need to find Zheng Zhilong to buy it.

This was also an attempt by Emperor Chongzhen.

Before Xinming Island, Emperor Chongzhen had already started an attempt - to loosen the control of swords, and let the people buy swords by themselves, as long as they did not involve large-scale killing weapons such as bows and crossbows, armor, etc., the rest could be bought.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty is similar, in the past, only those scholars with meritorious names could wear swords, and now the people with Ming household registration can get a sword to play.

Even Liaodong is the same, confiscating and destroying the private collection of firearms, but the sword is still forbidden, and the people like it.

It's just that Emperor Chongzhen planned to go one step further in Luzon and Java and allow the common people to have firecrackers, even if they were old products that had been eliminated by the Wei Institute.

The benefits of the folk ban on fire and swords, Emperor Chongzhen is not unaware, at least in many places in the Celestial Empire in the future, there is no need to worry about personal safety when you go out at three or four o'clock in the morning in the middle of the night.

Anyone who has been there knows how high the risk of going out at night is in the United States of America, which does not ban firearms, - a certain Internet writer went out for health care in the United States, and all the green coins in his pocket were robbed by Uncle Sam, and as for the people who did it, there were black and white.

However, an era has a different era of play, and the positions are different, and the problems considered are naturally different.

For Emperor Chongzhen, the army force on Xinming Island is strong enough, the barbarians on the island have been wiped out, and even the fleet is about to form combat effectiveness.

But the two places of Java and Luzon are a different story – the famous fat meat that everyone wants to nibble on, as evidenced by the fact that the Netherlands and Spain are now in Luzon and Batavia.

What's more, there are later generations of European-stirring sticks who will also look at this territory in the future, and there are Gallic roosters who are also staring at this territory.

In short, Luzon and Java do face more risks, and the possibility of opening the film at any time is also very high.

It's not that Emperor Chongzhen and Da Ming don't want to station another fleet here, but it takes time for the fleet to build warships, and it takes even more time for combat effectiveness to take shape.

And these two places may open at any time.

Do you want to pull the South China Sea Fleet over and keep an eye on it?

It's not impossible, all the same, it will take time, at least not until the North Sea Fleet has not fully formed its combat effectiveness.

At present, Daming has three fleets, namely the North Sea Fleet, the East China Sea Fleet, and the South China Sea Fleet.

The North Sea Fleet had just been reorganized and formed by the Dongjiang Army under Mao Wenlong's command, and even the warships had not yet been put in place.

The East China Sea Fleet is now responsible for watching the entire Ming Dynasty from Denglai to the North Sea, and now it has to run to the territory of the South China Sea Fleet to scare the Dutch, and naturally there is nothing to be done against Java and the Netherlands.

The South China Sea Fleet is responsible for the entire southeastern part of the Ming Dynasty's maritime defense line, and it also has to deal with the Franco-machine barbarians in Luzon and Java, and is currently responsible for transshipment of goods from Xinming Island, so naturally there is not much energy to take care of Java and Luzon in a short period of time.

Even the supply of their warships has been temporarily stopped, and the training of the non-commissioned officers can only rely on the only few warships that they have at present.

In desperation, Emperor Chongzhen could only open the restrictions on firearms and swords, at least so that the people could still have the ability to protect themselves after the armies stationed in Java and Luzon were exhausted, even if this possibility was only one in ten thousand, one in 100,000, they had to plan in advance.

As for the rebellion of the people with firearms or the turmoil caused by this, the possibility of these things happening cannot be ruled out, but the people of the Ming Dynasty are not the Sam uncles of later generations who shoot when they disagree.

As long as the people of the Ming Dynasty can survive, no one will think of rebellion, let alone fight against the government, even if the taxes are heavier.

What's more, the ancients have already said that the solidity of the country is in virtue and not in danger.

The solidity of the country is not in danger in Germany is what Wu Qi said to Wei Wuhou: "There is no danger in Germany." In the past, the three Miao clans left Dongting, the right Peng Li, the virtue and righteousness were not repaired, and Yu was destroyed;

The residence of Xia Wei, the left Heji, the right Taihua, Yique in the south, the sheep intestine in the north, the government is not benevolent, and the soup is released;

The country of Yin, the left dragon gate, the right Taihang, Changshan in its north, the big river through its south, the government is not moral, and the king of Wu kills it.

From this point of view, there is no danger in Germany. If you don't cultivate virtue, all the people in the boat will be enemies. ”

That is to say, the king implements benevolent government, and the people are alive well, so naturally they will not think about rebelling and overthrowing the emperor, otherwise, no matter how awesome the place you choose, and then the defense is a bunker, if the people form a group to rebel, the emperor will be cool.

But if the people can live, who will have nothing to do and run away to do this kind of big thing of the Nine Clans?

Even the rebel professional Hu White Lotus Sect was about to be unable to mix in the Chongzhen years, not to mention that the ordinary people had no idea of rebelling at all - even the emperor who had a concubine would rebel was the enemy of the whole world!

For Li Qizi and other pirate gangs, the weapons have arrived, the ships are in place, and all that remains is to seize the time to familiarize themselves with these warships first, and then follow Zheng Zhilong to play soy sauce.

That's right, in this naval battle, the role of Li Qizi and others is to play soy sauce, because Zheng Zhilong strictly implemented the military orders of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and asked the cannon to speak first.

Before, Sanchez thought that the Ming army was similar to pirates, and he was still waiting for Zheng Zhilong and others to come and kill them well, so naturally he didn't scare Li Qizi and other pirate gangs.

Now the consequences are revealed.

The Spanish fleet itself was gathered in the port of Luzon, and as soon as Zheng Zhilong's South China Sea Fleet arrived, it formed a posture of encircling the Spanish fleet with Li Qizi and other pirate gangs.

The number of warships in the Spanish fleet seemed to be a big problem - the integrated fleet consisted of only twelve warships, and with some other auxiliary operations, it was only about twenty.

Zheng Zhilong's South China Sea Fleet was equipped with a full twenty-four new Fu ships, and its firepower was many times stronger than that of the Spanish warships.

After discussing with Zhao Qing, Zheng Zhilong specially invited Li Qizi and other pirate leaders to board his flagship, intending to let these pirate gangs see how awesome the Ming Navy really was.

It was really awesome, and the new Fukufu ships lined up in a row stretched out their long and thick gun ports and began to bombard the Spanish fleet, without even a word of nonsense.

At this time, the Spanish fleet had just set sail, intending to rush over and shell the South China Sea Fleet - out of reach.

Sanchez originally thought that Li Qizi's flagship Fu ship was awesome enough, but the range was not as good as the range of the warships of his fleet.

No matter how strong the Ming navy is, how strong can it be?

Then Sanchez was slapped in the face by the facts.

Not only is the range stronger than that of the Spanish fleet, but the rate of fire is also faster than that of the Spanish fleet, and the power of the shells is also greater!

Raising the telescope in his hand, Zheng Zhilong sighed: "Look, what are these damn barbarians still trying to get close to?" ”

Zhao Qing said with a smile: "Then the barbarians also have to have that life!" I didn't expect this new type of fortune ship to be so powerful, and we thought that the Franco-machine barbarians we met before were too weak. ”

Zheng Zhilong sneered: "It's not that they're too weak, it's that Daming is too strong!" Those poor sours in the Royal Academy are really powerful, and these things are easy to use! ”

Zhao Qingdao: "Who said it wasn't, I originally thought that His Majesty would take the silver and throw it into the Royal Academy for nothing, but I never thought that I could actually get so many good things."

In our opinion, those barbarians can't build such a powerful warship in a short time. ”

Li Qizi asked curiously, "What Royal Academy?" Didn't I hear what kind of steam locomotive they built before? ”

Before Zheng Zhilong could answer, a personal soldier hurriedly ran over, saluted and asked, "My lord, the ships have sent a message, is it going to land and fight?" ”

At this time, there were not many Spanish warships on the sea, but a large number of planks and broken sails were floating, and a large number of Spanish navy were struggling to survive in the water, and the few remaining Spanish warships began to retreat towards the port.

Zheng Zhilong sneered and ordered: "Order all ships to advance mile by mile, shelling one round per mile, and don't stop without the order of the governor!" ”

The herald hurriedly went down to convey Zheng Zhilong's order, and Zhao Qing asked curiously, "Why don't you prepare to land?" ”

Zheng Zhilong said: "What's the hurry? Since those barbarians are ready to start a war with our Daming, they must have prepared anti-artillery on the coast and landed in a hurry, just for fear of increasing casualties, and it will be difficult to explain to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies at that time.

Now shell them first, get closer and test a little bit, and get rid of the shore defense artillery of those barbarians first! ”

Zhao Qing really didn't know much about military affairs, so he nodded when he heard the words and stopped talking.

Sanchez, who was on the shore, held up his binoculars and muttered, "What kind of army is this!" ”

Just as he was sighing, Sanchez's adjutant Acuña hurried over and saluted: "Your Excellency the Governor, the casualties on the shore are too great now, do you want to use shore defense artillery?" ”

Sanchez glared back at Acuña and said, "Now that you use shore defense artillery, you don't know what the consequences will be?" Bring those barbarians closer before fighting! ”

Acuña, of course, knew what the consequences of using the shore defense guns now would be - the barbarian warships would immediately concentrate their fire on the shore defense guns, and then the entire defense of Luzon would be completely destroyed.

But if the shore defense artillery is not used now, let the warships of those barbarians continue to bombard like this, it will be over, even if a few guns are lucky enough to avoid the fate of being bombarded, how much effect can it play?
