Having already learned that fighting five Japanese armed merchant ships was as smooth as destroying the withering and decaying, Shen Xianyi was not worried that he would not be able to defeat the fleet formed by the Zheng family's thirteen warships.

These warships of the Eighteen Zhi are actually similar to the armed merchant ships of the Japanese State, except that the sailors and gunners are uniformly dressed and look neater.

He knew Zheng Zhilong's strength, knew that the Zheng family had thousands of warships and merchant ships, and tens of thousands of troops.

However, Huang Han's authority has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and he issued an order, which still belongs to Shen Xianyi, who has just arrived, how dare he disobey it, and immediately contact Huang Chunsheng.

After reading the flag, Huang Chunsheng laughed, he didn't know what the coastal defense guerrilla general Zheng Zhilong was, he only had General Pingliao in his eyes, and he directly commanded the warship to approach an armed merchant ship sent by Shibazhi to contact.

Huang Chunsheng has a lot to say, and he thinks that his ability to express the flag language is limited, so it is better to use a roar to be more simple, his voice is very clear, and he opened his throat at this time and shouted:

"This officer was ordered by General Pingliao to tell you and others to obediently stop the ship for inspection. If you dare to disobey General Pingliao's order, the warships of the 'Red Banner Army' will immediately launch an artillery bombardment, and it is best for everyone to be the Ming army not to have a bloody conflict, and this officer advises you to honestly lay down your arms and concentrate on the foredeck ......"

The captain Zheng Jun who came to communicate was called Shi Dajing, who was Shi Daxuan's brother, and he replied:

"Don't misunderstand, our army is also inspecting smuggling, and I don't know why those five Japanese merchant ships were detained by your army. Can you look at the face of serving the imperial court? ”

Huang Chunsheng said angrily: "How can this be reasonable, whose ship did General Pingliao detain, can the little coastal defense guerrillas control it?" Hugh had to be reckless and quick to be examined, and he was responsible for the consequences. ”

At this time, Huang Han waved the flag and ordered all the warships to prepare for battle, and now they are now assembled.

These ships were to be less than a dozen paces apart from each other, and this was the tactic of lining up in battle lines to bombard enemy ships.

During the war, the ships were lined up and plunged into the group of enemy ships, and the enemy ships within 200 paces to the port side would be subjected to a heavy rain of bullets.

The main general of Zheng Zhilong's fleet is called Shi Daxuan, and he is one of the eighteen Zhi.

They are not only engaged in trade, but also have the responsibility of maintaining the safety of waterways.

After all, the Zheng family is equivalent to collecting the protection fee of the maritime merchants, and if they pay the silver and receive the Zheng family's banner, who beats them will directly affect the reputation of the Zheng family.

Shi Daxuan had a clairvoyant mirror made by Westerners, and after he got the report of the discovery of a fleet, he personally used the claircase to observe, and found five armed merchant ships that had been battered and devastated, and also saw the Zheng family flag that was torn apart by the war and could still be distinguished.

It was obvious that the five armed merchant ships had been captured by the other seven warships, and Shi Daxuan's scalp was numb.

Because the naval battles recorded by the literati in this era are big ships fighting small ships, and strong ships fighting weak ships, and those seven warships are bigger than their own warships, so it doesn't look easy to mess with.

Although Shi Daxuan had no confidence in himself, he still had to negotiate, because the reason why Zheng Zhilong was not in vain as a sea overlord, his methods were vicious, whether it was for the enemy or his own subordinates.

Five armed merchant ships under the banner of the Zheng family were robbed at sea, and the Zheng family's fleet was ignored, and the lord would be beheaded by escaping.

Shi Daxuan would not have thought of sending his brother Shi Dajing to negotiate in any case, causing even more trouble, and people did not give face to the Zheng family sailors at all, and even more looked down on the mere Zhengsanpin coastal defense guerrilla generals.

The family is too bullish, he is the actual chief military officer with the seal of General Pingliao, and he is theoretically more than five levels older than Zheng Zhilong.

Soon Shi Dajing, who had made the negotiation before, drove the No. 2 Fu ship back to his own camp in a gray manner, and this warship simply approached Shi Daxuan's warship and reported the results of the negotiations just now by shouting.

In doing so, nearly 300 sailors, gunners, and soldiers on the two ships knew that the seven ships belonged to the Ming Naval Division, and that the commander would be the famous Pingliao general Huang Han.

Now General Pingliao ordered the Zheng family's ships to be inspected, and all the crew members laid down their weapons and went to the deck to concentrate on standby.

Shi Daxuan was dumbfounded, according to the usual general seal, the chief military officer with the general's seal is enough to order a small guerrilla general, but this is at sea, what does it mean to check smuggling and entrainment?

Are there armed merchant ships at sea that do not smuggle entrainment? Which Ming warship did not carry some private goods in exchange for wine money?

General Pingliao asked our crew to lay down their arms and gather them on the deck for inspection, didn't he order us to disarm and surrender to him?

Damn! It's too much of a deception! Lao Tzu is not controlled by the chief military officer of Jizhen, and Lao Tzu is not a serious 800 imperial court sailor, and the official military banner is for more convenient robbery, why does Lao Tzu want to bird what General Pingliao?

Shi Daxuan conveyed the order, the flagship's order flag waved, and the remaining dozen or so Zheng family warships and armed merchant ships all understood, and they all took their places to prepare for the battle.

At this time, the gap between the two armies was revealed, and the pirate army of Eighteen Zhi saw that the seven warships equipped with dozens of large-caliber guns on the other side were not good, and they were already a little timid.

The Eighteen Zhi pirates all knew that they had put on the coat of the Ming Dynasty's official army, and attacking the Ming Dynasty's team of the Pingliao General Seal was a crime, and in such a situation, the conflict should be avoided, and there was no need to play with the Pingliao general, who was also a Ming army.

When the Guanning Army was beaten as a soldier, Huang Han was a garrison general, and there were only a thousand people under his command, and none of them flinched.

Today, the "Red Flag Army" has grown stronger and the cohesion has been enhanced, and all the sons and daughters under his command have the arrogance of the king of heaven.

Because the "Red Banner Army" is highly disciplined, does not plunder the common people when they starve to death, and will never oppress the good, the enemy that the Lord will fight is certainly not a good bird.

Huang Han was also paying attention to Shi Daxuan's flagship at all times, and after seeing them waving the command flag, the sailors and gunners on the other warships immediately took action, knowing that it was impossible to surrender without a fight.

Huang Han's warship waved the command flag, the other five warships all understood, and soon a battle line was formed, Huang Chunsheng's warship traveled an arc to turn around and take the end of the battle line, and the seven warships rode the wind and waves to insert themselves into the enemy ship array.

The deafening explosion of "boom, boom, boom......" was earth-shattering, and the power of the salvo of 1,200 guns was really amazing, and most of the warships of Shi Daxuan's fleet were killed and wounded all over the deck without completing the launch.

That's because the Zheng warships were discouraged, and they didn't dare to shoot the first shot, the main reason was that the other party was the Daming Naval Division, Shangguan, and the main general was still a super-grade Pingliao general.
