236 Ascension

The sailor who was in charge of shouting the trumpet behind Zhao Guangtou saw that he couldn't help but move, and immediately stepped forward to persuade: "Admiral! Don't get on! The owner of the ship said that the seahorse is strong outside the ship, and the hull only seeks speed, and it will sink if it is shot! ”

"I naturally know this......" Zhao Guangtou turned around and looked at the main fleet in the chaos and said angrily, "But you see that they are chaotic, it depends on them that we might as well fight!" ”

The sailor persuaded again: "It is better to abandon a few enemy ships, and ten seahorse ships to chase two." At present, the Furlong machine slows down and crosses the ship to fight, and it is just the time of encirclement, and the main fleet will see that we and others will complete the encirclement, and they will also have a clear direction and goal. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Guangtou looked around again, and only scolded: "It's so far away!" How to command! ”

"Liang asks for help, and the boat next to you will naturally understand when you see it."

"The battle hasn't been fought yet! How can you call for help! ”

"This is the only way to do it, Admiral!"

The two were arguing, only to see a red smoke cannon burst above another seahorse ship in the distance, and they didn't have time to call for help, and the other ships had already signaled.

Zhao Guangtou looked shocked: "Okay! Let's abandon this ship and go around there! ”

As a flare was fired, all the surrounding seahorse ships moved closer to it.

At the far end, another seahorse ship followed for help, and the four surrounding ships also consciously approached.

Abandoning the six guarantees and two, the ten clipper ships finally consciously divided into two teams against the enemy.

Zheng He in the rear, Yang Changfan's expression was shocked: "Okay!" There are also handsome talents hidden in our army! ”

The ten seahorse ships regained order and surrounded the two Galen ships in five or five columns, and remained out of range at all times, and the towing tactics of these two warships could not be carried out, but they could not escape.

The seahorse ship that took the lead in sending the firecracker was really shrewd, and dared to fire only because the captain was sure that the one he bit was the flagship.

Canelias's face was as pale as earth, and the wisdom of the Orientals finally made up for their lack of experience, and it was his own judgment that compared them to Acehnese fools.

If you are wrong, you will pay the price, and as the seahorse ships find order, the main fleet also has a clear goal. According to the distance, they surrounded the two battleships.

In this case, any maneuvers and tactics are reduced to empty talk.

Canelas could only look at the four warships that had escaped from the blockade, hoping that they would evacuate immediately and not try to save themselves.

But he miscalculated again, the Royal Portuguese Fleet had not tasted defeat for more than ten years, and in Southeast Asia it was often one enemy ten, and the other four captains still thought that they had the strength to fight, and turned the bow of the ship to come to the rescue.

Canelas quickly ordered: "White flag! Blazing the White Flag!!! ”

There was no other way, it was the only way to get them out.

The flagship was the first to fly the white flag and surrender, followed by another besieged battleship.

The seahorse ships approached separately, but did not open fire, so they approached the side of the ship.

Seeing that the incident had come to this, the rescue fleet had to make an emergency U-turn again.

However, the steering and turning of the ship is by no means as simple as a car, it needs to adjust the rudder and sail, and cross a long arc, they have already gone through this process before turning around, and now they have to do it again, but the pursuit of the main force of the Huiwang Mansion has never stopped.

The Seahorse ship, which was still the first to give the signal, fired another shot, and then rowed at full speed towards the battleship that was about to escape.

The Seahorse ship of the second fire followed closely behind, firing the smoke cannon and locking on to another target.

The rest of the seahorse ships understood, put down the surrendered ships, and encircled and suppressed again.

Yang Changfan was overjoyed, he had never commanded such a tactic, and he had never thought of it, it was purely the captain's spontaneous action, and I have never had a shortage of talents in China!

Canelas saw that he was about to take the ship, but the seahorse ship abandoned himself and pursued other ships to expand the victory.

How vicious, how greedy, how shrewd.

The adjutant asked, "Admiral...... We...... Do you want to prepare for a counterattack again......"

Canelas looked at the Zheng He, which was already close at hand, and sighed bitterly: "Whether we counterattack or surrender, we will be recorded in the navy's list of shame." ”

“……”

But soon, Canelas felt even greater shame.

Zheng He almost passed by his own ship, and the commander of the bow even saluted him from afar, and then rushed to the surrounded prey farther away without hesitation.

Not only was he forced to surrender, but he was also gorgeously ignored.

On July 17, the 40th year of Jiajing, in the Banda Sea of Southeast Asia, the Chinese fleet of the Huiwangfu defeated the Indian fleet of the Royal Portuguese Navy, capturing five ships, 210 navy, and four senior generals, including Admiral Canelias.

The battle lasted less than two hours, and with the exception of signal fireworks, not a single shot was fired and not a single person was wounded, making it the Portuguese navy's greatest defeat against a non-European enemy.

After the Huiwangfu fleet captured the ships, the Portuguese navy was imprisoned in ten cargo ships, and the 2,500 heavy troops of the Huiwangfu infiltrated five Galen ships, leaving a few Franciscan men in the bow to confuse the port.

The next morning, five Galen ships entered the port of Ambon, and the Portuguese in the harbor did not perceive the danger at all, and accepted the anchorage, and 2,500 heavy troops from the palace of the Hui Dynasty immediately killed the port from the Galen ships, and quickly took the castle of the Governor's Palace of Ambon, and were caught off guard without warning.

The first battle of Ambon lasted only half an hour, and the Huiwang Mansion lost 12 soldiers, wounded 77 people, killed 9 Franco, captured 358 people, accounted for the total governor's mansion, and set up the royal flag.

Subsequently, the main fleet of Huiwangfu immediately entered the port and occupied the city of Ambon. More than a dozen people from the Hui Wangfu violated discipline and plundered, and the owner of the ship, Yang Changfan, was beheaded on the spot, and no one dared to threaten to rob the city. The imam and Luzon people of the Huiwang Mansion then rushed to the city to appease the Ambo people, and the fear of losing the city quickly subsided.

The owner of the ship, Yang Changfan, immediately ordered the liberation of local slaves and laborers, opened a warehouse to distribute grain to the Ambon people, opened a warehouse to divide the silver and the whole army.

Fearing reprisals from the locals, most of the local Franc civilians threw themselves into Yang Changfan and begged to be imprisoned. The owner of the ship, Yang Changfan, let him live in the Governor's Mansion or go to sea to return to other cities, half of the Franc people thanked him and left by boat, and half stayed in the Governor's Palace.

By 19 July, Ambon had been completely controlled by the Hui Palace, and the situation was completely stable. The Huiwang Mansion did not stop, and drove the Franc Galen ship to attack the rest of the Molujia islands, and the rest of the islands had no fortifications, and were seized by the Huiwang Mansion within a few days, and many spices began to be transported north.

Ambon Governor's Palace, several outstanding generals were summoned here, and Yang Changfan entrusted him with important tasks.

The Huiwangfu fleet was divided into three, divided into the seahorse fleet and the sea lion fleet.

The Seahorse fleet consisted of ten Seahorse ships, and Hu Guang, the captain of the first to fire the signal gun, served as the commander. Hu Guang, a native of Guangdong, born as a sea bandit, Chinese New Year's Eve, this person was originally a sea coward Xu Dong's favorite general, after Xu Chaoguang killed his father and seized power, Hu Guang surrendered to the Hui Wangfu and served as a captain for more than two years.

The Sea Lion fleet consisted of ten capital gunboats, and Tang Sanhai, the captain of the second gun, served as the commander. Tang Sanhai, twenty-one years old, born in Fujian fishermanship, thirty-eight years into the Hui Palace, friendly, although young but enough to convince the public, served as the captain for less than half a year, the encirclement and annihilation response was timely, and the command was appropriate.

In addition, the commander of Zhao Guangtou's ship also proposed a separate strategy of encirclement and annihilation, and promoted him to adjutant. (To be continued.) )
