Before dawn, when there was only a touch of fish belly white on the sea not far away, the office of the Hong Kong Overseas Consulate was already brightly lit at this time, and people walked back and forth from outside. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Yan Jianye rashly launched an attack on the Zheng family's fleet yesterday evening, and the first battle caused the sinking of a Zheng family's freighter, and both freighters were damaged to varying degrees, but fortunately, they finally escaped from Yan Jianye's attack range.

According to Zhou Yang and Yang Yuzhou's analysis, the battle between Yan Jianye and Zheng Zhilong should not start in the near future, why, because the forces mobilized by the Spaniards from Manila have not yet entered Dayuan Island, and they cannot effectively help them help.

But he didn't expect that Yan Jianye would suddenly attack the Zheng family's fleet yesterday evening, and also successfully captured a ship transporting goods to Japan.

This war without warning disrupted the original speculation of Hong Kong's overseas territories, and Yan Jianye also taught everyone a thorough lesson, letting everyone know that he is not a person who abides by the rules.

Even Zheng Zhilong didn't expect him to attack suddenly, he didn't look for his main battleship to fight, but chose a merchant ship to start, which shows that he knows his strength, the defense of ordinary merchant ships is naturally not as large as the main battleship of the naval division, and it will not be equipped with artillery, only Western colonists will equip ships with artillery and other weapons.

In Yan Jianye's view, after cutting off Zheng Zhilong's trade to Japan first, and letting him suffer certain losses, he will inevitably be in chaos, and then he can't wait to mobilize a large army to fight, but he can adopt roundabout tactics at this time and sneak attack several of his important bases.

Yan Jianye did not tell the Spaniards about this plan, since he felt that the other party was just here to fight soy sauce after the negotiation with Chris, he clearly realized that he could only rely on himself in this war, and his strength was definitely incomparable with Zheng Zhilong.

Since there is an obvious gap in strength, it is necessary to adopt a roundabout strategy and use stratagem to fight, Yan Jianye, who is familiar with the art of war, came up with such an idea.

However, this key point is that Zheng Zhilong can send ships according to the normal response, if Zheng Zhilong does not send ships, but only drags on for a few days, and the ships of Zheng He's several bases form a combat force and come out, then Yan Jianye's plan will fail.

Although the battle between the two sides was only a naval battle that lasted less than two hours, a lot of information was collected, and the Zheng Jiajun in Fuzhou, Xiamen, Quanzhou and other places all took action, which showed that Zheng Zhilong was mobilizing troops to fight, and it was very likely that a new war would break out at any time.

As for the Spaniards, they were also in a state of confusion at this time, they had no idea about Yan Jianye's actions at all, not to mention that they would act together, but this guy actually did it alone.

Christie frowned and walked back and forth, does Yan Jianye have the strength to defeat Zheng Zhilong alone, it is impossible, unless they have the support of the Australians, it is just that the spies came to report that Hong Kong did not dock Australian ships, then there is a problem, what do they rely on to defeat Zheng Zhilong, should the Dutch, not.

If the Dutch had formed an alliance with Yan Jianye, then their movements would definitely be known to themselves, but the Dutch did not send any ships to participate in the operation, which shows that Yan Jianye acted alone.

At this time, all forces were thinking about what Yan Jianye relied on to dare to face the Zheng family alone, and even Zheng Zhilong was a little moved by his courage to summarize the news he received from all sides, and he actually dared to launch an attack without the support of any party.

However, Yan Jianye is an Australian who has a dog after all, and it is uncertain whether they secretly reached some kind of agreement alone, but the Australians have made it clear that they support Zheng Zhilong to teach Yan Jianye a lesson, which means that they will not participate at this time.

As the overlord of the East China Sea, the Zheng family's face was beaten, if he didn't fight back, then how could he do it, if he didn't say it, wouldn't it mean that his Zheng family couldn't do it, not to mention that he was still facing Yan Jianye, who was weaker than himself, if he was an Australian, it would be fine, but Yan Jianye was nothing in their eyes.

So Zheng Zhilong mobilized some ships to assemble in Quanzhou to prepare for battle, at present, although he does not know how Yan Jianye is going to deal with it, but he has not evacuated the forces of his various bases, and has also strengthened the strength of coastal defense, it is said that the number of coastal defense artillery in Fuzhou and Xiamen has increased.

Yan Jianye can't eat much even if he wants to attack, as long as his ship does not go to sea and destroys Yan Jianye's follow-up supply force and harassing ships, then his attack force must retreat, otherwise once it is encountered by the Zheng family's returning fleet, it will become an internal and external attack.

It is impossible for Yan Jianye not to know this truth, and he is also paying close attention to the Zheng family's actions, but what makes him a little disappointed is that the Zheng family did not concentrate on drawing forces from one region to fight.

The fleet of the Yan family outside Penghu was still wandering on the sea, and the Zheng family's ships stationed in Penghu did not go to sea to fight at this time.

However, the troops assembled from Fuzhou and other places had already arrived off the coast of Penghu and released carrier pigeons, so that the Zheng Jiajun stationed in Penghu knew that reinforcements were coming.

Yan Jianye's 20 big ships are lined up, and from a distance, it looks like a long dragon floating on the sea to rest, which is very imposing, but from the perspective of sea operations, this kind of formation also has a disadvantage, which increases the intensity of the opponent's precise strikes.

Just looking at the other party's formation, Zheng Zhibao, as a leading general, knew that Yan Jianye, this kid, had never fought, and the people around him were also half a bucket of water, as long as the artillery fire was concentrated on that area, it could hit the opponent's ship no matter what.

As soon as the distance approached, Zheng Zhibao decisively announced the opening of fire, and while they were fighting, there were also several small fishing boats wandering not far away, including Dutch, Spanish, and Australian ships, who paid attention to the naval battle throughout the whole process.

Just after a few rounds of artillery firing, it was obvious that a ship on Yan Jianye's side had been hit on the deck, and soon sank little by little, and finally disappeared into the sea.

"Yan Jianye's combat experience is not rich, it seems that it is only on paper, which has been proved, from this analysis, even if he unites with the Spaniards, he may not be Zheng Zhilong's opponent."

The intelligence collected by Zhou Yang from the front analyzed the current battle situation between the two sides, this battle Zheng Zhilong can be said to have won without much effort, and the victory was very open, and the position of the old Zheng family in the East China Sea has been invisibly stabilized a lot, and Yan Jianye After this war, I am afraid that everyone knows that he is just a showman.
