Perhaps since Weigu Island was inhabited, the sea around it has never been so lively, and the roar of guns and the sound of sailors fighting shook the entire sea area for dozens of miles, like a human purgatory floating on the sea.

The Han fleet, which had paid a lot of money, finally rushed into the fleet of the foreign coalition and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with which there was almost no room for turn.

The boating technology of the foreign fleet is better than that of the Han fleet, which also uses Western-style sea ship technology today, but it is not much better, and when the Han fleet is determined to start hand-to-hand combat, they can only respond to the battle in silence.

However, now in terms of the number of warships, the foreign fleet has the advantage, and five Han allied warships were sunk by the foreign fleet on the way to charge, and the scattered broken wood and struggling sailors on the sea are telling the world the traces of their existence.

However, when the Han fleet rushed into the formation of the foreign fleet and started hand-to-hand combat with it, the most powerful artillery advantage of the foreigners was gone, even if there were still foreign warships that used flexible positions and did not let the Han warships get close, but now the two fleets that have become a mess, even if the foreigners want to use artillery, they have to worry that the class may harm the rest of their colleagues.

On the same warship of the same size, the number of fighters carried on the Westerner warship was not as good as the number of sailors on the Han warship, not to mention the sailors in the warships of the Flying Dragon Gang, which was still overloaded.

For a time, in hand-to-hand combat between frontal warships, the Han sailors still had a few advantages!

However, it has not been long since the Han sailors fundamentally said that most of them are pirate members, even if the two leaders Zheng Zhilong and Li Tiansheng help the ambition and want to create a gang comparable to the regular army, but it is really necessary to put it in reality, where is it so easy.

They don't have such a big background as Hongmen, they have millions of people under their command as the backing, and a team of children who focus on cultivating and educating the next generation, so that there is a new generation of Hongtang warriors standing among many powerful forces.

Most of the sailors on Western warships were regular navies drawn from the kingdom, and their naval combat skills and tactics, and coordination were superior to those of the Han sailors, but at the beginning, the Han sailors were a little difficult to parry with their strong and ferocious consistent style.

But as time went by, the longer the stalemate between the two sides began, the momentum of the Han sailors slowly began to dissipate, and the pressure on the foreign soldiers was naturally not so unbearable.

Subsequently, the well-trained and resilient foreign soldiers began to counterattack steadily, and began to force the Han sailors back step by step, and even some local 'battlefields' had been transferred from the foreign warships to the Han warships.

This is a battle of perseverance and perseverance, and it is also a battle about the future of the Wyvern Gang, for Zheng Zhilong, they have no way out, and even he has no time to think about the changes that must have taken place in Batavia's own manor.

The territory of the Zheng manor in Batavia can be said to be the largest among the surrounding manors, limited by the relationship between Governor Dandell to curb the territory of the Flying Dragon Gang, if even the manor that supports his family cannot reach a certain scale, then how can Zheng Zhilong let him take care of the families of the thousands of gangs under him.

The entire estate covers an area of more than 20 miles, most of which are planted with various grains, fruits and vegetables, but few are planted with other manor's favorite commercial crops.

Almost all of the people who farmed this manor were the families of the Wyvern Gang, including many slaves from Africa and India.

Of course, it is obviously impossible for a manor to accommodate the families of thousands of Wyvern Gang, and within the scope of the Indonesian colony in the Netherlands, there are more than a dozen estates belonging to their Wyvern Gang.

For the members of the Zheng Manor at this time, no one noticed the changes that happened in the waters of Weigu Island, and everyone still got up early at dawn, or carried hoes, led ploughing cattle, or fetched water, laundry and cooking, and was busy with their duties.

In the town where the Viceroy of Batavia was located, Dandel, the governor of the Netherlands, suddenly summoned the heads of several indigenous tribes in the area.

“…… That's what I mean by summoning you, is there any problem? ”

Governor Dandel's face was solemn, and he showed his prestige as the de facto ruler of the land.

"The only requirement is absolute secrecy."

Several of the natives looked at each other, and then someone stood up and spoke of their difficulties: "Your Excellency the Governor, it is naturally not a problem at all to gather the soldiers under our command, but is it a little too hasty in terms of time!" ”

"Many of our people have been scattered in various ports to make a living, and there are really not many people left in the ports of Batavia."

"This is indeed a problem!!"

Governor Dandel thought about it, too, the port of Batavia is so big, and there are competitors like the Wyvern Gang, it is really difficult to feed a large number of people, most of the main forces of these tribes in their Dutch colony are not in the port of Batavia, but scattered on several large islands.

"Then in this way, in three days, do your best to transfer all the people you can mobilize."

"Three days, it must be within three days!!"

Governor Dandell took a step back, but considering the empty and scarce defense of the Zheng manor, he must have recruited these natives enough to attack them.

In order to let Zheng Zhilong's Wyvern Gang relax their tightness, the Dutch army belonging to them in Batavia Harbor was not even enough to meet the basic defense, but fortunately, their European foreigners had reached a consensus and had a tacit understanding with each other, so Governor Dandell did not have to worry that someone would seize the opportunity to attack Batavia at this time.

Therefore, after estimating that the battle in the waters of Weigu Island should have begun, Governor Dandell began to prepare for the deployment of manpower at this time, and took the opportunity to directly capture the family members of their Wyvern Gang in the Zheng manor.

Of course, the most important of them is naturally Zheng Zhilong's one wife, two concubines, and five children who left in the manor.

"Yes, the little ones will go back and prepare."

Several leaders responded in unison.

"Remember, you must keep it secret, and you must not leak the news!"

"Understood!!"
