Ten days later, Zeng Guangxian and Wang Zhaoxing stood on the deck of the Canton and held binoculars to look at the city of Relansha in the distance. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"This city of Geranza is not as strong as I thought it would be." Wang Zhaoxing put down the binoculars and sighed.

"The city was last completed in 1640 and is still under construction."

"Commander Zeng." Wang Zhaoxing turned his head and asked, "It's been a few days since we arrived here, and the God hasn't come back, and I don't know if I have contacted Zheng Zhilong." I don't see any movement in the city, what should we do, we can't always be floating on the sea like this. ”

"How's the fresh water and supplies on our ship?" Zeng Guangxian did not answer Wang Zhaoxing's question.

"Just resupplied two days ago, you know. I think it will last for another month. ”

Zeng Guangxian raised the binoculars again and looked at it, and suddenly said sharply: "I order, all warships raise the banner with clear characters, and the starboard guns are test-fired." ”

"Do you want to fight now?" Wang Zhaoxing asked, "Don't wait for Zheng Zhilong and them?" ”

"No wait. Let's fight first and hold off the Dutch. ”

"Wait." Wang Zhaoxing turned around to leave, but Zeng Guangxian stopped him again.

"Commander Zeng, what's the matter?"

"It's broken, Wang." Zeng Guangxian suddenly slapped his head, "It's broken, it's broken, we ignored a big thing." ”

"What the hell is going on?" Wang Zhaoxing was a little weak by Zeng Guangxian's expression.

"Lao Wang, let's ignore the letter to Zheng Zhilong."

"Letter? What letter? When will we send a letter to Zheng Zhilong? Wang Zhaoxing didn't know about Wang Hua's arrangement for Gullitt to deliver the letter.

Zeng Guangxian briefly said about the delivery of the letter, and then said: "We have changed our plan now, Zheng Jian went to inform Zheng Zhilong that the real purpose of the Dutch was Taiwan, and they wanted to fool Spain and Portugal into attacking Xiamen to drag Zheng Zhilong, then the Dutch would never write that letter to the Portuguese, and they also made an appointment to attack Taiwan together, Zheng Zhilong is such a smart person, he will definitely be suspicious." ”

"Hahahaha." Wang Zhaoxing suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, "Commander Zeng, you are really smart and confused for a while. ”

"I, why am I confused?"

"It's none of our business." Wang Zhaoxing said with a smile, "You are right, Zheng Zhilong will definitely guess that the letter was not written by the Dutch, but he will never guess that it was written by us." Because if we were going to lie to Zheng Zhilong, we wouldn't tell him the real situation now, which is not logical. I estimate that even if Zheng Zhilong doubts, he will suspect the body of the two teeth. But that's better, isn't it better for us to provoke their contradictions? ”

Zeng Guangxian nodded: "What you said also makes sense. ”

"And." Wang Zhaoxing continued, "The matter of this letter makes us too complicated, even if Zheng Zhilong is smart, it is impossible to figure it out, do you think he is Sherlock Holmes or Conan?" ”

"Hehehehe." Zeng Guangxian smiled, "Then don't think about it." Lao Wang, carry out the order. ”

"Yes." Wang Zhaoxing turned around and went down to deliver the order.

After a while, the 30 guns on the three battleships spat out shells one after another at the city of Geranza. It didn't take long for the entire sea to be filled with smoke.

The city defense artillery of the city of Geranza also opened fire. The distance is too far for anyone to hit anyone, and both sides are doing useless work.

"Does it work? What a waste of shells. Wang Zhaoxing asked.

Zeng Guangxian said with a smile: "Lao Wang, do you know that Li Fuqiang has a pre-dinner exercise in Vietnam?" ”

"Huh." Wang Zhaoxing laughed, "You also want to have a sport?" ”

"Why not? Our purpose is to drag down the Dutch, and wait for Zheng Zhilong to come. ”

After several days of pre-meal exercise in the city of Relanza, Zheng Zhilong and the two teeth did not come, and the God came back first.

"How? What's going on with Zheng Zhilong? As soon as Xin Jiaju boarded the deck of the Guangzhou, Zeng Guangxian couldn't wait to ask.

Before Xin Jiaju could answer, Zheng Zhihu's loud voice behind him shouted: "Thank you Yulin Bay, my brother let me come and say hello to you first, and my brother will arrive later." ”

Zeng Guangxian didn't expect Zheng Zhihu to come with him, and hugged his fist at him: "It turned out that Brother Zheng had arrived, and with Brother Zheng here, we were foolproof." ”

"Hehehehe." Zheng Zhihu grinned and said, "Brother Zeng is serious. ”

According to the news brought back by Xin Jiaju, the God took Zheng Jian to find Zheng Zhilong. As Wang Zhaoxing analyzed, Zheng Zhilong determined that the letter was made by the Portuguese. But now that the enemy is present, coupled with Xin Jiaju's lobbying, Zheng Zhilong decided to unite with the two teeth first and fight off the Dutch. Due to the suddenness of this incident, even if Zheng Zhilong issued a Jianghu order, there were only more than 60 ships gathered, which was a big discount compared with history. Zheng Zhilong first went to the chicken coop with the fleet and explained the true intentions of the Dutch to the Spaniards, who were also shocked by this sudden news, and after urgent consultations, the Spaniards agreed to join forces with Zheng Zhilong against the Dutch. As a precaution, Zheng Zhilong sent half of the fleet to Xiamen with the Spanish ships to inform the Portuguese and Spanish fleets attacking Xiamen that there was an armistice, and he stayed in the chicken coop. Then Zheng Zhihu was sent to follow the God to the city of Relanza and the rendezvous of Yulin Bay.

"It's a mess." After listening to Xin Jiaju's story, all the traversers on the Guangzhou couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Anyway, now this situation has been mixed into a pot of porridge by us." An Yuhang asked, "No one can say how the situation will develop next, but what to do next, Commander Zeng, you have to get an idea." ”

"Let's wait and see what happens." Zeng Guangxian ordered, "Let's still fire a few cannons every day, drag down the Dutch in Geranza City, and wait for Zheng Zhilong and them to come before making the next step." ”

"This battle was fought." Zhao Dequan complained, "How do I feel that we are not in the navy now, we are about to become politicians, can we figure out political matters." ”

"Hehe, Dequan." Wang Zhaoxing said with a smile, "Of the more than 300 of us, which one is not a politician, didn't you Zhao Dequan talk eloquently when he crossed the conference?" ”

"Hahahaha." Everyone laughed, and Xin Jiaju asked again, "Commander Zeng, what if Liu Xiang and the Dutch from Batavia came before Zheng Zhilong, what should we do, to fight or not to fight?" ”

"Don't fight." Zeng Guangxian's answer was neat, "If they want to enter the city of Geranza, let's let them in." If they want to attack us, let's retreat in the direction of the chicken coop and lead them to Zheng Zhilong's side. In short, let's maintain a principle, no one can be defeated in this battle, let alone be eliminated, we must try our best to create contradictions between Zheng Zhilong and the Westerners, and let Zheng Zhilong understand one thing, only Yulin Bay is single-minded with him. ”

Four battleships floated on the surface of the sea for several more days. That morning, Zeng Guangxian and Wang Zhaoxing were discussing things on the deck when the bell on the watchtower of the Guangzhou suddenly rang.

The sentry leaned out from the watchtower and shouted, "Report to the sir, a large number of ships have been spotted in the direction of 7 o'clock in the south. ”

Zeng Guangxian and Wang Zhaoxing raised their binoculars at the same time, and more than 30 warships, large and small, were sailing towards the city of Gelanza at full speed on the sea in the distance, including both Damingfu ships and Western warships.

"It seems that Liu Xiang and the Dutch have arrived." Wang Zhaoxing said to Zeng Guangxian.

Before Zeng Guangxian could answer, Zheng Zhihu ran out of the cabin: "Two, what happened?" Is my brother here? ”

Zeng Guangxian smiled at Zheng Zhihu: "Brother Zheng, it's not General Zheng's ship, it should be the reinforcements of the Dutch and Liu Xiang who have arrived." ”

"Yes." Zheng Zhihu frowned unconsciously.

The bell on the watchtower suddenly rang again, and the sentry leaned out again: "Report to the sir, a fleet has been spotted in the north at ten o'clock, heading towards us. ”

Zeng Guangxian and Wang Zhaoxing raised their binoculars again.

"Whose ship is up to the north?" Zheng Zhihu asked eagerly behind the two of them.

"Brother Ling's fleet has also arrived." Zeng Guangxian replied simply and then ordered loudly, "I order, so the ship raises the Mingzi flag, turns the rudder 15 degrees to the left, and let's go to meet General Zheng." ”

The Guangzhou and Zheng Zhilong's flagship got together, and Zeng Guangxian and Wang Zhaoxing jumped on the deck of Zheng Zhilong's flagship and clasped their fists and saluted: "See General Zheng in Yulin Bay." ”

Zheng Zhilong hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Don't be polite to the two of you, Zhilong has to thank you two this time, if it weren't for your Yulin Bay timely delivery of the letter, I'm afraid we would be in big trouble this time." ”

"General Zheng is serious." Zeng Guangxian said, "At present, Liu Xiang and the Dutch have also arrived in the city of Geranza, they have about more than 30 warships, but they have a lot of Western warships, I don't know what General Zheng plans to do?" ”

"Hmph." Zheng Zhilong snorted in his nose, "We also have a lot of ships, the Portuguese and Spaniards also sent 6 warships this time, and you also have 4 ships in Yulin Bay, this battle will be a dozen." ”

After Zheng Zhilong finished speaking, he suddenly asked again: "Brother Zeng, you Yulinwan will not stand idly by, right?" ”

"What did General Zheng say?" Zeng Guangxian said with a smile, "Let's not say that our Yulin Bay is now a family with General Zheng, even if we have nothing to do with it, we are all Daming Sailors, how can I Yulin Bay stand by and watch." ”

"Thank you, Brother Zeng." Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhihu thanked each other.

"However, General Zheng, I have a few words I would like to discuss with the general." Zeng Guangxian returned the salute and said again.

Zheng Zhilong smiled slightly: "Two of you, the sea is windy, please talk to the two of you in the cabin." ”

Zheng Zhilong's cabin only sat Zeng Guangxian, Wang Zhaoxing and other four people.

"General Zheng, please forgive me for speaking out." Zeng Guangxian gave a slight salute, "I, Yulin Bay and General Zheng, are both Daming sailors, so it is needless to say that we will work together." But the Portuguese and the Spaniards, not of my race, will have different hearts. They were able to unite with General Zheng this time, and the situation forced them, I wonder what the general plans for them? ”

"Them?" Zheng Zhilong said indignantly, "When I finish cleaning up the Dutch people and then clean them up, I won't be able to run away." ”

"Isn't General Zheng afraid that they will suddenly turn back?" Zeng Guangxian asked again.

Zheng Zhilong was silent for a while, and suddenly sighed: "Alas, how can Zhilong not worry, but there is no way to unite with them." To tell you the truth, this time the incident happened suddenly, we only gathered more than 60 ships, because I was worried about Kinmen and Xiamen, I divided more than 20 ships to Jinxia, and now there are less than 40 ships here. ”

"General." Wang Zhaoxing interjected, "The general only has 40 ships, while the Dutch side also has more than 30, and they have 10 Western warships. Even if we add our four warships in Yulin Bay, we have to fight with the Dutch and Liu Xiang on the one hand, and on the other hand, we have to guard against the Spanish and Portuguese against the water. ”

"What then?" Zheng Zhihu was anxious first, "Let's not fight?" Do you want to give up Taiwan? Big brother, Taiwan is our hard work. ”

"Zhihu, don't be impatient." Zheng Zhilong glanced at his younger brother dissatisfied, "Let's listen to the two generals first." ”
