Chapter 553: Blow
There are two more words, survival, the survival of the Han people is worse than the survival situation in Western Europe, so it is so weak, without this weakness maybe the Han people will not last for so many years, but the Han people without blood, how can they live better, so the cycle has been for so many years, and in later generations, every time the economy is prosperous, the so-called civilization develops, it is always the time when the Han people suffer.
The Han people never consider the overall situation, do not go out to destroy a few other alien races, the survival of the Han people will not be too good, the Han people always like infighting, with the merits of defeating their own people to tell future generations, how great they are, brothers compete with each other for their own master's property that is called evil, that is called virtue, and this virtue has been passed down for thousands of years, do not rob outsiders, but always rob their own people, this is the Han people.
When can we learn from the German nation in World War II, fight out, for their own living space, for themselves, although they are still honored, the Russian nation also has a lot of bad habits, but people always go out to rob others, all have the reputation of a fighting nation.
Far away, Zheng Chenggong was also very helpless at this time, he sat on the ground depressed, held his head, and said to Feng Xin: "Take my son Zheng Jing, go to find the Huaxia Army, and bring a few boats of gifts, I hope to get a decent defeat."
Feng Xin silently bowed and withdrew.
Within a few days, Feng Xin had not returned, and the blow of the Huaxia army came.
Zheng Chenggong definitely didn't expect Zhang Qiang to treat him like this, and when he found out, the islands around him had been swept away by the Huaxia Army, and the four fleets of the Huaxia Army went out together to hand over the coastal defense to the garrisons of those naval divisions, the marines, and the fishermen who were responsible for assisting the Huaxia Army.
Feng Xin brought him news, and the Huaxia army in Baozhong Mansion also went out to clear the defenders on the Zheng Road around him, although there was still the moment to start the final battle, but on the treasure island, the spies of the Huaxia Army infiltrated everywhere, and the defenders on the land of the Zheng family around Baozhong Mansion were all clear, and at the same time, they were ruthless, and they were all pulled out one by one.
The 3rd Field Brigade and the 6th Field Brigade of Baozhong Province only sent some elite squads and militia troops, and expanded their territory on the treasure island by a whole circle, and the range of thirty miles was controlled by the Huaxia Army, and in the past, only a hundred miles of land belonged to the Huaxia Army, and the Huaxia Army has always kept its promise not to expand into the interior of the treasure island. In one move, since the relationship broke down, the defenders of the Zheng army on the island approached and even invaded the Huaxia army, and all the territory within a hundred miles of the Huaxia army was recovered, and it expanded outward for thirty miles.
The Huaxia Army did absolutely this time, the Zheng clan was defenseless, they were just guarding against the Huaxia Army's sailors, but they forgot that the land strength of the Huaxia Army was the real elite, and it really shook their fundamental strength.
The Huaxia Army is the force competing for hegemony in the interior of the Ming Dynasty, and of course it is the most elite infantry.
The new carriage was built under the inspiration of Zhang Qiang and with the help of old carpenters and blacksmiths.
At the same time, under the advice and promotion of businessmen or shopkeepers, they quickly entered the military and civilian of the Huaxia Army, and obtained commercial interests and national interests.
Let the society promote its own development, Zhang Qiang is only a bystander, a guide, otherwise, with his knowledge structure, with his insight, with his historical knowledge, it will not be able to reach the development level of other travelers in a hundred years.
"I know," Zhang Qiang nodded, "It's easy to lay down the territory, but it will take a while to turn the territory into ours and make the people admit that we are going to take a while, and our current strategy is to take down one place to digest another, and finally completely take over the entire Daming country step by step."
But the Ming Dynasty is too small, we have to look farther, to the west, we have a vast land in the west, and there are some alien races, let's eliminate Zheng Chenggong as soon as possible, put our energy back on the land, we can slowly develop westward, compete for territory with those alien races, eliminate them, and make our future generations more large, so, fighting Zheng Chenggong is not slowing down, but speeding up, I don't want to put a large number of troops in the south. ”
"By the way, since the Southern Ming Kingdom has been disabled by Li Dingguo, the military strength is now weakened, and our Feng Wuyu has also been in Guangzhou Mansion for a long time, so he will go out to carry out activities and attack the Southern Ming Kingdom, they dare to provoke things, they will be held responsible, this time Zheng Chenggong will do it to us, it is estimated that there is also the intention of the Southern Ming Imperial Court, you send envoys to threaten them first, let them be responsible for the provocation some time ago, hand over one million silver, and cede six county towns to us."
Zhang Qiang had a whim.
Zhou Congee opened his eyes wide, he was a good person, but he didn't expect Zhang Qiang to make something out of nothing, and actually let his former allies cede land to the Huaxia Army for compensation, just because they had provoked the Huaxia Army, what kind of logic is this?
Zhang Qiang ignored him and continued: "If they don't agree, then let Feng Wuyu go out, take down the two county towns, see their reaction, if they send troops, continue to fight, and fight until they give in."
Then they negotiated a few times, and they were tougher and tougher each time, dragging it out, and then they would take down another county seat, and if they dared to be tough, they would increase the weight, and if they were soft, they would take away the promised territory and the promised compensation, so that they would become soft bones completely, and finally let them sign an agreement to become our vassal state, and pay tribute, property, and silver to us every year and open the port, so that our merchants could pass through their territory, otherwise they would fight again.
Zheng Chenggong looked at the generals gathered under his subordinates expressionlessly, and said in a deep voice: "The Huaxia Army has torn up its previous promises and has begun to attack us, we can't sit still, we need to unite and resist this aggression, the treasure island is ours, and the Huaxia Army is a barbarian on land, just like encroaching on our territory."
The final result was that Zheng Chenggong's treasure island was ceded by a quarter, and most of the fleet was bombarded, and he sued for peace in humiliation.
However, Zheng Chenggong has occupied a lot of land in Nanyang, and with the support of the Han family in Nanyang, he has also lost the east, Sangyu.
In other words, the Huaxia Army ignored Zheng Chenggong's false desire for peace, and brutally sent troops to attack Baodao, Zheng Chenggong was anxious and hateful.
But in addition, he had no other way but to transfer back the sailor fleet hidden outside, and those who were found by the Huaxia Army to assist in ambushing the Huaxia Army's sailor supply fleet, the pirates of the caravan or the small fleet of the Portuguese in this generation were left alone, otherwise, the scattered forces could only be broken by the Huaxia Army.
Under the same level, a patrol composed of three large ships and more than a dozen small boats will be matched, and it must be Zheng Chenggong's fleet that suffers heavy casualties, because in terms of tonnage, artillery, and combat effectiveness of soldiers, it is inferior to the Huaxia Army in all aspects, unless it is possible to take a small patrol with twice or three times the strength, and it is necessary to plan the opponent's navigation route and intercept it in advance, otherwise the enemy is likely to disband the fleet immediately. Once a breakthrough is successful, the attacker becomes the hunted person, and he is very embarrassed.
Of course, Zheng Chenggong's concentration of troops is not to take the initiative to retreat, he is going to fight to the death with the Huaxia Army, although the four fleets of the Huaxia Army have been dispatched, but they are not together, they are fighting separately, because the area they need to patrol is very large, and if they are concentrated together, they will miss the enemy, and it is likely that the enemy will bypass them and directly attack the coastline of the Huaxia Army, so the fleets are still wandering in their respective areas, looking for possible enemy main forces.
As long as it is not to meet Zheng Chenggong's desperate concentration of all the main forces, he is not afraid of the enemy, he can run if he can't fight, and there will definitely be losses, but the Huaxia Army is not afraid, in recent years, the shipyards of the Huaxia Army have developed quite advanced, there are many slipways, and many ships cannot be launched, because they are saturated, and there are not so many people to operate the ships, because of the break with the Taixi people, the Huaxia Army and the fleets that interact with the Huaxia Army have shrunk in trade, and there is no need for too many merchant ships to go to sea, so whether it is warships or merchant ships, The Huaxia army had a lot of problems with putting on the slipway, but they didn't dare to get off the slipway.
Of course, the slipway is to be built, but no one buys it, who will use it to build?
But it can't be built, in case the battleship is damaged and can't be used, or the number of warships can be expanded, it will definitely not work, because even if the ships of the Huaxia Army are advanced, they must follow the laws and characteristics of shipbuilding, and the ship materials need to be purchased from all over the world, exposed to the sun for a year, dried in the sun, and brushed with oil tung and other materials to build a ship, and the construction of a ship takes three months at the earliest, and four or five years at the slowest can be built, which is impossible.
Zheng Chenggong concentrated his forces, he must have to fight the docks and shipyards of Baozhong Mansion, and the fleet guarding Baozhong Mansion, to be honest, there is less than half a fleet, usually just guarding and stationing, but now he needs to face the enemy ships of most of the fleet that Zheng Chenggong has gathered.
In other places, Zheng Chenggong did not dare to attack and disturb, and it was easy to find a small main force to attack the fleet of the Huaxia Army and the Navy, even if he found the main force, with all his strength, he could not compete with a Huaxia Army fleet, at least win against a Huaxia Army Naval Fleet.
After the assessment of the generals at all levels, they quickly came to the conclusion that the losses were heavy, and if there was no participation of other forces, even if they were victorious, they would not be able to regain their former glory, and they could no longer control a considerable sea area, and they could not make all the ships passing through the Daming coast fly Zheng Zhilong's flag and pay tolls like Zheng Zhilong's eighteen Zhilong's eighteen Zhi Zhi in those years.
Now after Zheng Chenggong's efforts, he has almost restored the glory of Zheng Zhilong, but once he fails and his strength is damaged, then he will definitely fall into the fate of a large pirate, unable to control the situation, and soon the Taixi people will come back and fight him Zheng Chenggong.
Therefore, in this battle, Zheng Chenggong just hoped to concentrate his forces, sweep Baozhong Mansion, and attack the Huaxia Army from land and sea, mainly by sea, because everyone recognized that the combat effectiveness of the Zheng Navy on land was really not good.
Zheng Chenggong also clearly realized this, so he chose Baozhongfu Wharf and shipyard.
Thousands of seagoing ships lined up on the sea, and the side artillery doors were all opened, aiming at the Baozhongfu wharf and shipyard of the Huaxia Army.
The Huaxia Army's Baozhongfu wharf and the shipyard are not far apart, in two harbors less than ten nautical miles apart.
The Chinese army had long been heavily guarded, the fleet docked in the harbor was nowhere to be found, the batteries in the harbor were ready to attack, behind the hills on the land were hidden a detachment of marines and soldiers of the garrison battalion guarding the harbor and docks, and the militia soldiers were scattered on the beaches where they could land, ready to resist the enemy's infantry landing.
Zheng Chenggong was worried, he really didn't want to fight a tough battle with the Huaxia Army now, because he knew that he couldn't win the Huaxia Army, but if he didn't fight back, the text of the "Lord of the Ming Dynasty" you read Chapter 552 of the attack has enabled the anti-theft mode, and only half of the chapter can't be connected to the content of the previous chapter.
