Now the four generals in the house, Tong Guonai, Meng Qiaofang, and Ma Degong, are in a group, and they all took refuge in Tong Yangjia. But Huang Wu is different, Huang Wu and the Zheng family have a deep blood feud, he just wants to wipe out the Zheng family.

It was precisely because of Huang Wu that Tong Guonai was still not able to tell the truth, so he had no choice but to say: "Well, Kinmen Xiamen is not connected to the mainland, so this battle mainly depends on the water division, and if the water battle is won, the land war will be won, and if the water war is lost, the land war will not be fought." So the water war is up to Mr. Huang and Mr. Ma! ”

Most of the strength of the Quanzhou Navy Division was in Yongningwei and Zhenhaiwei, and the Gaopuwei in the inland was all army.

Ma Degong and Huang Wu hurriedly bowed down to receive the order when they heard Tong Guonai say this, and Tong Guonai continued: "There are many reefs around Xiamen Island, and most of the Zheng family's sailors are gathered in Kinmen, so this governor has decided to fight a decisive battle with the Zheng family's army in Liuluo Bay, Kinmen!" General Meng gathered troops in Tong'an, and after the victory of the naval division, he crossed the sea to attack Xiamen! The time is set for five days later, on the 10th day of the eighth month, what do you think? ”

The three of them hurriedly expressed their opinions, and they would definitely fight to kill the enemy. Next, Tong Guonai left Ma Degong behind, and the other two returned to the camp to prepare.

Seeing that the other two were gone, Ma Degong asked, "My lord, is there anything wrong with leaving the last general?" ”

Tong Guonai sighed, took out the letter from the capital and handed it to Ma Degong to read. Ma Degong gasped after reading it, he didn't expect these officials to be so bold, you must know that more than 60,000 people and nearly 200 warships were invested in this battle, and they were all lost for the sake of a little selfish gain of those elders?

"My lord, this... Is this true? ”

Tong Guonai nodded and said, "Yes, those elders in the court are in trouble and need this defeat." ”

"But... This is the lives of more than 60,000 brothers, this is too ruthless! "Ma Degong is not a good type, and his hands were stained with the blood of countless people when he was fighting, but it was all a last resort, where these bigwigs like the imperial court had to send 60,000 lives with a single letter. Thinking of this Ma Degong, I couldn't help but shudder, I thought that I was ruthless enough, but compared with those big people in the court, I was really like an old lady who ate fasting and recited Buddha.

"Then what's the solution, you and my brother are different now than before, and we can only rely on those big guys in the DPRK." Tong Guonai was also very helpless, but what could he do.

Ma Degong also knew Tong Guonai's difficulties, thought for a while and asked, "Then how do you want to lose this battle?" ”

"This is simple, the strength of our army is not as good as Zheng Jun, now it is mainly the five big ships under your command, as long as those big ships sink, this battle will be lost without fighting!"

In order to deal with the Zheng family, the imperial court allocated five new Western warships to Fujian, and it was these five warships that deterred Zheng Lian's ambitions.

It is precisely because these five warships are powerful that they have become the hearts and minds of the governors of Fujian and Zhejiang, and the sailors of these warships are directly under the management of the navy, and the admirals of the Fujian Navy Division only have the right to command the battle, and they do not order these uncles at all in peacetime.

Ma Degong thought for a while and said: "This is simple, although those pipe belts are not under our control, but the quartermaster on the shore is under our management, find an opportunity to let them be on fire."

It should be no problem to do some hands and feet on medicine! ”

Tong Guonai nodded and said, "Okay, those five warships will stop at your Yongningwei, and I'll leave it to you what to do!" ”

Ma Degong received Tong Guonai's military order and bowed down to prepare, Tong Guonai sighed and wrote a letter to his uncle Tong Tuchang in Beijing, reporting the news that he was ready.

The tactics of the Ming army were to divide the troops into two routes, Yongningwei and Zhenhaiwei were mainly naval divisions, first gathering in the sea off Kinmen to attract the Zhengjia naval division of Kinmen to fight, and then Gaopuwei in Tong'an County crossed the sea to capture Xiamen. Most of the troops on the two islands of Jinxia are concentrated in Xiamen, and as long as Xiamen is captured, there is no value in holding Kinmen.

On the morning of the 11th day of August, Huang Wu and Ma Degong led 228 warships under their command to concentrate 20 miles off the coast of Kinmen. The Ming army has a total of more than 230 warships, these warships are mainly five second-class Western warships, forming a semicircular formation, and the layman looks at the fluttering flags, which is very magnificent.

The waterways here in Kinmen are narrow, and the shores are full of Zheng family's eyeliner, so Sanwei has naturally been discovered by the Zheng Lian brothers with such fanfare. These two have already seen the tactics of the Qingming Army, since this is the case, they will fight hard, and see if you are the best sailor of the Ming Army or my Zheng family.

Zheng Cai led a total of 186 warships of the Jinxia Navy Division to meet the battle, and in Liaoluo Bay, southeast of Kinmen, the two sides finally met at one place, and the battle of the second sea battle of Liuluo Bay officially began.

As soon as the battle began, the pipe bands of the five large ships of the Ming army asked to be listed separately, wanting to use their speed and firepower to consume the strength of the Zheng army. But Ma Degong, who had already made up his mind, could agree, and strictly ordered the five ships to maintain the formation, not to break away from the brigade, and to attack the Zheng army's fleet together.

The navy who got the news scolded Ma Degong angrily and used the navy warships with strong ships and guns to play gang jumping, isn't this a gift to the enemy? But there is no way, it is wartime now, all warships must be managed by Ma Degong, the battlefield commander, the military law of the Ming army is harsh, if those pipes do not obey the order of the generals to go out alone, even if they win the battle, they will be beheaded. The five pipe bands couldn't help it, although they jumped to scold their mothers, but they could only slowly follow the big team and rush towards the Zheng Jun fleet.

Although the Zheng family fleet is inferior to the Ming army in terms of quantity, it is stronger than the Ming army in terms of total tonnage, and most of the Zheng family ships are more than 100 tons of Fu ships, while the Ming army except for the five 500-ton warships, the others are 30-ton boats. The Ming army was not as good as the Zheng army, which had been crisscrossing the East Asian seas for decades and had already cultivated a group of good fighters who were good at jumping gang fighting. And the Ming army is mostly the Han army flag in the north, it would be good if they could stand firm on the ship, and they could still fight freely there?

Therefore, as soon as the two armies came into contact with the Ming army, it was a little unbearable. The pipe bands of the five navy warships saw the Zheng Jun ships rushing into range, and ordered all the lower decks to be replaced with shotguns and opened fire on Zheng Jun. But what was surprising was that all the artillery was silent, and none of them fired. This incident in the battle was very demoralizing, Zheng Jun took advantage of the gap in the Ming army, immediately surrounded it, grabbed the boat gang with a hook, and began to jump to fight.

The strength was inferior to others, and there were people within him who were dragging their feet, and the first formal conflict between the Ming army and the Zheng army ended in the defeat of the Ming army. More than 230 ships of the Ming army and navy were sunk more than 120 ships, 5

More than a dozen ships were captured, and the rest fled. The five largest warships were the main targets of the Zheng army because of their large size, three of the five ships were burned, one was captured by the Zheng army, and one finally broke out of the encirclement and fled back to Yongningwei.

The losses of the Ming sailors were also very large, more than 5,000 of the 16,000 were killed, more than 2,000 were drowned, and more than 2,000 were captured. The main general Ma Degong was killed, Huang Wu was good at escaping, and when he saw that he couldn't do anything, he ran first, so he didn't follow in Ma Degong's footsteps.

Ma Degong really stole chicken and rice this time, he thought that his side had the upper hand, and he would not lose if he lost, but who knew that Zheng Jun was not a vegetarian, and the Ming army was not an opponent at all, as the flagship of the fleet, Ma Degong took a ship, and naturally became the main target of Zheng Jun's attack, and Ma Degong was also killed in Zheng Jun's heroic battle.

The naval division was basically wiped out, and the Ming army on the land side did not please go. When Meng Qiaofang learned that the Kinmen side had been hit, he immediately led hundreds of ships to send the first batch of landing troops, a total of 2,000 people. Who knew that as soon as he landed on Xiamen Island, he encountered the encirclement and suppression of Zheng's superior forces. Originally, the overall number of the Ming army was more than that of the Zheng army, but because of the lack of transport ships, the good landing battle became a refueling war, after sending over 8,000 people, Meng Qiaofang saw that it was not possible to fight like this, and at the same time, the news of the failure came from the side of the naval division, and Meng Qiaofang also withdrew.

In the first battle of Liuluowan, the Ming army lost more than 20,000 people in total, and basically all the ships of the naval division were sunk, while the Zheng army only lost less than 5,000 people and more than 20 ships.

When the news of the defeat of the Ming army reached Quanzhou, Yao Qisheng, as the supreme commander, was taken aback, he did not expect the Ming army to be defeated so completely, and he regretted very much that he had promised Tong Dafang to fight this battle at that time.

Yao Qisheng sent a secret report to the emperor of Jingshi overnight, and secretly reported everything he had seen and heard in Fujian for more than a month, and at the same time implied that Tong Dafang was mainly responsible for this failure. Of course, this is not Yao Qisheng who saw through Tong Dafang's tricks, but just an unconscious life-saving measure.

Yao Qisheng threw the black pot to Tong Dafang, but Tong Dafang and Yuan Pengnian buckled the basin on Yao Qisheng's head, what does not know the enemy's situation and blindly fights with the enemy, does not understand military on-the-spot command, etc., anyway, all the responsibility is yours Yao Qisheng.

The secret fold between the two parties reached Beijing, and Zhu Hongsan saw that Fujian, which he had the least to worry about, had now become like this, just fight the war, and he lost, killing more than 20,000 people and sinking more than 200 ships.

Zhu Hongsan is now at a critical moment in order to reduce the power of the cabinet, and the influence of this Fujian military newspaper is too great. At the same time, Zhu Hongsan saw from the two secret folds that Fujian's failure was not so simple, and there were the figures of the stinky old nine in the cabinet.

Zhu Hongsan rubbed his temples with his hands, and now he had no choice but to suspend his plan. Zhu Hongsan first issued an order that state affairs should be given priority, and the function of the Military Aircraft Department to temporarily act as an agent of government affairs was removed, and at the same time seven veteran cabinet officials were ordered to be reinstated. In this way, Zhu Hongsan's idea of using the monarchy to suppress the power of the prime minister completely failed.

After the seven veteran cabinet officials were reinstated, they were happy that they had finally defeated the monarchy again. But they forgot that the monarchy and the relative power are like the two ends of the spring, and the monarchy has been suppressed again and again, and has been compressed to a critical point, and now it is almost exploding.
