?? Neither the locust-like pirates of the Ming Dynasty nor the seemingly powerful fleets of the Dutch and the Portuguese did not expect that the war would be so cruel and that defeat would come so quickly.

Since the British defeated the mighty Dutch fleet, the Dutch have changed from sea coachmen to sea cowards, and their commercial nature makes them only match the countries of the continental state system that do not know how to fight and how to fight naval wars, and never dare, or have not won decisive victories for the national maritime powers.

Their ships are still merchant ships, and they are armed merchant ships armed with merchant ships, and even those warships are only high-level merchant ships that are slightly stronger than merchant ships, and their strength is only the number of sailors, not the study of naval warfare.

And this point does not need to be considered at all in Zhang Qiang, who is a traverser, even without the help of the system, he can also look at the world and the naval battles of this world in the eyes of future generations.

Even if it is to not improve the combat power and technology of these barbaric Westerners, he will be invincible, his weakness is that he does not have so many sailors, to be precise, there is not a group of soldiers who have experienced large-scale naval battles and think about the tactics of naval warfare, naval soldiers.

And the Dutch are also a group of merchants who live at sea all the year round, and their sailors and generals, even if they don't have to think about it, have a long combat experience, which can make them ashamed of themselves compared to the Ming sailors who only used small fishing boats to play fireboat tactics in this period.

They look extremely tall, Da Ming beat them, although they didn't take much advantage of the past, but their losses were not very large, but Da Ming's losses were several times.

In order to attack only two or three armed merchant ships of three or four hundred, in fact, only more than 100 tonnage, they have to pay for the death of thousands of people and the loss of hundreds of small warships, not to mention the use of tens of thousands of people and thousands of ships to besiege them, and the tonnage of 600 to 800 materials is more than 300 to 500 tons.

In the eyes of Westerners such as the Dutch or the Portuguese, there were only a dozen or so ships of the sixth, fifth, or higher fourth-class warships.

At this moment, in the face of the second detachment of the Jinhua Volunteer Army Naval Division, which has been raised by Zhang Qiang and carefully guided, after several months of training and preparation, has the same size as them, but has been equipped with a longer range and better quality than their artillery, and at the same time has received Zhang Qiang's half a bottle of water, which comes from the memory of the game of the Great Voyage of the later generations.

The big ships were crushed, the copper skin was covered, the artillery was intensively strafing, the commandos who were ready to fight, and the "T" tactics made the Dutch and Portuguese marvel and panic at the same time.

But they still had to charge forward, even if it was to defend the honor of their maritime supremacy, or for the territory and wealth of the Jinhua Righteous Army on the mainland.

Why would they do this?

Because the Jinhua Righteous Army was still under the jurisdiction of Ming officials in the early days, and successively fought against the Qing Army and eliminated the bandits, there was no way to pay attention to their infiltration and prevent them from understanding themselves, but after a great war, the continuous reorganization of the troops, the transformation of the Jinhua Righteous Army from a cold weapon unit to a hot weapon unit made the Jinhua Righteous Army grow rapidly.

And quickly replaced civil affairs officials in many places, these civil affairs officials are new officials trained by Zhang Qiang and them.

The implementation of a series of policies to secure the people, and the implementation of a series of methods on the internal affairs management of the Ming Dynasty that Zhang Qiang had seen in later generations, made the Jinhua Righteous Army quickly settle down and increase its wealth rapidly.

The rapid prosperity of commerce and the rapid increase of population made the Jinhua Righteous Army a paradise in this chaotic era of the Ming Dynasty and a guarantee of a stable life.

The development of commercial trade in the past six months has made the territory of the Jinhua Righteous Army almost a gathering place of wealth.

And because they annihilated the Zheng Cai pirates, swept away many pirates, controlled large coastal areas, and rapidly expanded their power to the sea, because they helped the Qing army against Zhang Qiang's Jinhua rebel army, and even against the Longwu court, they were told that they were not allowed to trade with the Jinhua rebel army.

Zhang Qiang and Zheng Chenggong entered into an alliance, so that the entire coastal areas of Zhejiang and Fujian, and even larger, their ships and trading merchant ships could not appear there at all, and their trade was dealt a strong blow, and even because of Zheng Chenggong's strength, it became extremely difficult for them to go to Japan or further afield to trade with the Qing army, and they had to make a detour to the Pacific Ocean on the other side of the treasure island to pass.

Baodao also had Zheng Chenggong's forces, and their fight with Zheng Chenggong's forces also caused their trade with the Ming and Qing armies to shrink extremely.

This is a huge blow to them.

Commerce was fundamental to the survival of the Dutch, and maritime trade and the plundering of Asia were their cornerstones, and they would never allow such a thing to happen.

The Portuguese attempted to occupy several coastal counties in the Ming Dynasty and gain a firm foothold on the mainland.

Although the power of the Longwu court has extended to Guangzhou, where there are Hu Kui cavalry troops and infantry units of the Jinhua Righteous Army, the Portuguese have to expand to the west if they expand, but the west is the territory of the Yongli court.

The war between the Yongli court and the Qing army was like a tug-of-war, and there was no stable commercial trade there at all, and it might have been strangled by both sides just after the past.

The Portuguese, with limited forces, simply could not extend further inland.

The Dutch had the same concerns as the Portuguese, so they could not extend inward, and they would have to occupy more coastal areas.

Since the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea cannot be crossed, or there is a long sea route to be taken in the past, why not take the opportunity to occupy the territory of the Jinhua Righteous Army and let the two sides of the Ming Dynasty come to the coast to trade with them?

It's commercial interests, and there's war hatred.

The Portuguese and Dutch supported the Qing army's war against the Ming Dynasty twice, but Zhang Qiang captured their fighters, most of them were executed, and they died very miserably, some of them were sent to the hard labor camp, and some of them were recruited by Zhang Qiang to become helpers to help Zhang Qiang develop, which made them have only one way for the Jinhua Righteous Army, war.

War, now is war.

But the situation is not in their favor.

The helpers they brought in, the Ming pirates, barely showed their role, and they were defeated by the Jinhua Righteous Army's sailors, and some of the ruthless characters who couldn't escape were also resisting, but their resistance was in the face of dense artillery, and they could only say that the praying mantis blocked the car and did not measure their strength.

So they rushed forward.

They also had 200 warships, and they felt that with their combat experience, even if the sailors of the Jinhua Righteous Army looked very powerful, tens of thousands of pirates and thousands of pirate warships were invincible, they would definitely be able to turn the tide of the war.

But they were wrong, even if some ships were destroyed and damaged by the pirates, the second detachment of the Jinhua Volunteer Army's naval division, which could be assaulted in a strict formation, still inflicted heavy losses on them with unrivaled strength.

In the first contact, even if they rushed to the front, one hundred and fifty meters, which almost posed a threat to the second squadron of the Jinhua Righteous Army, a serious threat, but they did not achieve results at once.

Zhang Ying opened his teeth and danced his claws, and excitedly told the generals of the Taizhou Mansion of the Jinhua Righteous Army who were gathered together how he fought with tens of thousands of pirates, thousands of pirate warships, and then fought with the Portuguese fleet.
