Text Chapter 1202 Victory
When Song Ke looked up to the sky and sighed, on the tower, Chang Wei, Li Pingzhi, Zhang Xuwen and others were all excited and couldn't help themselves.
While this group of young people in their twenties cheered and jumped, Sun Jingting only smiled.
In front of him to win the naval battle, Sun Jingting was of course full of excitement, but it was just excitement and happiness.
The situation on the grassland is really sinister, and if you lose, you will never recover, and the victory or defeat at that time is a matter of life and death, and Taiwan's side will be a few years late in development at most......
Of course, Sun Jingting did not know Zhang Han's worries, if the naval battle was lost, it would not be a delay in development for a few years, and it was likely that this large area of maritime territory would no longer be owned by China. Unless the shipbuilding base is moved to Kuandian, Phi Dao, and a powerful fleet is rebuilt, however, moving to the north, talents are rare, and it is difficult to say whether the large fleet that has not been fought in actual combat really has the strength to fight.
After winning the war, Zhang Han's happiness will definitely be unreserved, much happier than Sun Jingting.
As for Chang Wei and the others, they simply jumped up.
Sun Jingting is not an insider, and I don't know how much pressure Chang Wei and others have been under in the past six months.
Every day, he watched the enemy's ships pass by on the sea in front of him, driving Hutchison's merchant ships away and returning to port, or simply firing cannon threats and laughing at the sea to drive Hutchison's ships back into port.
Intercept the Jiangnan merchant ships that are willing to hand over the peace and re-collect them, which will greatly damage the reputation of Hutchison.
Raw silk merchants along the coast are no longer allowed to sell silk to Hutchison.
In this way, for more than half a year, Hutchison has simply been pressed on the body by the other party and rubbed again, this kind of insult is unbearable for the elderly to endure, not to mention Chang Wei and others, that is, a group of young men in their early twenties, who are the strongest in blood and strong in blood.
One can imagine how angry they were, how aggrieved they were, and how much they thought about the day of revenge.
And the day finally came, the enemy flagship burned and sank, four ships were captured, and several hundred Dutchmen were captured, although it was not a hearty total victory, but it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a victory.
It not only repelled the Dutch, but also reduced more than half of its strength.
Yes, more than half of the loss.
Although only two large Galen ships were captured, the flagship Batavia was not a galleon converted Galen ship, but a serious construction according to the foundation of a battleship, with the most guns and the strongest firepower, and Hutchison had no chance to capture it, but through the rotation of bird ships and fireships, the Batavia was simply burned.
Hutchison was not obtained, but the Dutch also lost a rather important and powerful flagship, which could not but be said to be a rather powerful blow to their morale and prestige.
The Batavia was not only a flagship, but also a symbol, a symbol of the Dutch presence on the waters of Southeast and East Asia.
This ship, which can deter the Spaniards, Portuguese, and Dutch, is not a small merit.
After being burned down by Hutchison, it was not only a flagship that was lost, but also many tangible and intangible things that sank with the flagship.
"The Dutch will be in trouble." Li Pingzhi: "I don't know if they will transfer ships from Europe." ”
"Transfers are unlikely." Zhang Xuwen shook his head and said: "It will take at least half a year to pass the news over and then transfer the battleship." It's been so long, and we've already had results, so why rush to transfer ships over? Moreover, I have heard that the Netherlands is not without enemies in Europe, and although its maritime power is strong, the East India Company is a company after all, and although it has the full support of its own country, it is not the government in the end. This is similar to our Hutchison, but we are a thorn in the side of Daming, but their company is supported by the state, and the difference is here. Speaking of which, it's what adults call a system problem. ”
Zhang Xuwen's words aroused everyone's emotion.
Whether it is going north to the grassland or south to Taiwan, what is fighting for is not the land of the Ming Dynasty, and everything you do is actually beneficial to China.
This is also the reason why Sun Jingting and other serious scholars are also willing to follow Zhang Han, which is beneficial to China without harming the country, and the suspicion of the imperial court can be understood by everyone, but in the game, becoming a member of the suspicion, no matter how to understand, the resentment in the heart is still difficult to dissolve.
What did Hutchison do to be sorry for Daming, from top to bottom, he looked vigilant?
Not to mention the merit of going north, even if it is a battle of the Thirteen Mountains, it can be regarded as a great contribution to the Ming Dynasty, right?
In the Ming Dynasty, smooth logistics, conducive to industry and commerce, no credit to the prosperity and development of the north of the Ming Dynasty? Suppress the bandits, and kill how many ringing horses along the southbound route? The imperial court is an attitude, and the people below have passed it on from mouth to mouth, so what do they think of Hutchison?
Judging from the private exchanges between the top management of Hutchison, if you change to an emperor with a mean background, such as Emperor Sejong back then, I am afraid that the order to check Hutchison has already been issued, regardless of whether you have made great contributions in the north!
In Zhang Han's words, this is a problem of the system.
In the United Kingdom, which is also a monarchy, the queen can issue privateer orders to the shipowners below, and the British government will carry the looted wealth for them, and everyone will share the account together.
Even the queen will invest in the share capital to those pirates, the queen will pay for the shipbuilding, and the pirates will go out to rob and rob back.
This is not a novelist's words, just a fact that happened in history.
In order to plunder wealth, the European countries of this era were completely shameless, and their unscrupulous descendants were completely different.
Of course, the same is true of the Dutch East India Company, it is inconvenient for the government to come out, to form a company that has been recognized by the state, and the land that has been robbed is thousands of miles away, and it is also under the management of the company, and the country does not have to worry about what tail is too big to set up as a king, originally this country was formed by a group of merchants and bankers, as long as there is profit, who would want to be a king and emperor?
On the side of the Ming Dynasty, it is a real fear, the monarchy is supreme, and the imperial power covers everything, even if you are a pro-vassal noble, as strong as the head of the cabinet, or as remote as an island fisherman, everything belongs to the emperor.
Under this system of centralized imperial power, of course, we will beware of anything that may threaten the imperial power, in Zhang Han's words, it is a system problem.
These four words in later generations are the source of quarrels, but at this moment, Li Pingzhi and Chang Wei sincerely agreed, and they all nodded in approval.
Chang Wei nodded with a smile and continued: "There is no need to talk about the troublesome things, we don't talk about Tianyou in today's big victory, we still command effectively, and the soldiers use their lives." Capturing four enemy ships and sinking their flagships, the gains were really not small. We only sank one of the Xinpingbao, and the rest of the ships were wounded, and in terms of results, we won a complete victory. ”
Li Pingzhi continued: "I should be thinking about real negotiations...... I don't know when the Tianchengwei will be able to return home. ”
"I have reminded Zheng Zhilong to be careful of the Dutch." Chang Wei said very calmly: "The schooner just can't beat it, and you can go at any time if you want to, plus with the eldest prince of the Li family to take care of it, you won't be treated by the Dutch in Hirado." ”
"If we start negotiations again, let's talk about it in Taiwan." Zhang Xuwen said: "Now we also have the confidence to say this. ”
Li Pingzhi said: "Who is going to see Xu Xinsu at the bottom?" I'll go? ”
Chang Wei said: "You are in charge of the Department of Industry and Commerce, of course, it is the most suitable for you to go, so let's have a hard trip." ”
Li Pingzhi hugged his fists and said: "This is naturally incumbent, in addition to seeing Xu Xinsu, of course, I want to meet Zheng Junmen and General Yu, the things below have to be busy for a while, and I have to cause some movements, and I have to take care of them in advance." ”
Zhang Xuwen didn't have any special expression when he heard this, and he understood Li Pingzhi's words, but he was mainly worried about the farming, animal husbandry and local management on the island, and he didn't have much interest in the affairs of Fujian, so Li Pingzhi tossed it.
Of course, Chang Wei also understands...... Previously, the repeated calls of Hutchison in Fujian were extremely hateful, and of course some accounts had to be calculated, Xu Xinsu couldn't move, and he couldn't move those ordinary raw silk merchants and small and medium-sized maritime merchants?
Eat it, spit it it out for me, how bad the attitude used to be, and how much price you have to be prepared to pay now.
If you don't listen, it's okay, don't go to the sea to eat from now on, and don't prepare to go to sea with raw silk.
Zhang Xuwen is willing to do this kind of thing, but he can't do it, no matter how much scheming, how many conspiracy methods, there must be a lot of blood and tears.
Chang Wei can do it and can't leave, Li Pingzhi happens to be a good person.
"Go with Jiang Kui." Chang Wei commanded: "If there are some people who can tell them to disappear, they don't have to be too polite, just do what they want." ”
Of course, there are also military intelligence divisions on the Taiwan side, and there are also military intelligence divisions on the Fujian side, Chang Wei knows that Jiang Kui is the top person in charge of the two divisions on the Taiwan side, and it is also Zhang Hanshen's personal guard who has been involved in military intelligence and internal affairs, so Zhang Han and Chang Wei are not only relieved to manage Jiang Kui's military affairs, but also trust Jiang Kui's ability.
Of course, if Jiang Kui sets up the shelf of the 11th Regiment, he will focus on military affairs in the future, and the military situation will be handed over to others to manage.
Chang Wei's words were obviously murderous, but Li Pingzhi didn't care, and agreed casually.
Zhang Xuwen frowned slightly, the two of them don't take human life seriously like this, do they want to beat it, don't make too much trouble in Fujian? However, Zhang Xuwen is not a sour literati, and after thinking about it, Li Pingzhi is still right.
Previously, when Hutchison was weak, the behavior of those people could not be simply attributed to the behavior of villains, but a kind of behavior of defecting to the enemy, and some of them were not excessively severely punished.
And if you want to regain peace, of course, Hutchison will have to do some thunderous means, which must always be fearful. I don't want to hurt the good, just take those guys who are also businessmen and thieves and don't open their eyes, kill a batch, and the rest will naturally be afraid.
Even if there is a recurrence in the future, the maritime merchants in Fujian and Zhejiang will consider choosing a side again, so as not to make a mistake and be retaliated by Hutchison with thunderous means afterwards.
