When Zheng Zhilong's fleet arrived at Tongshan, he found that something seemed wrong.

In the past, the Daming Naval Division, which had long used the excuse of drills to avoid himself, actually strictly guarded the pass, and the black and pressed warships were neatly arranged.

The Great Ming Naval Division is no longer the use of the past, and the invincible armada, which once shocked the world and went to the Western Ocean seven times, has been cut off by shrewd civilian officials. Today, most of the warships of the Daming Navy Division are small warships, and the coastal defense is still insufficient, and taking the initiative to attack is tantamount to seeking death.

Fujian Commander-in-Chief Yu Zhigao has always been a loyal supporter of the governor's policy of non-resistance, and every time he hears Zheng Zhilong's name, he turns around and runs. But this time, General Yu couldn't run anymore, because he received an order from the imperial court to destroy the pirate group led by Zheng Zhilong.

After receiving the order, General Yu felt that his own strength was weak, so he sent a person to invite the Dutch fleet in Taiwan to jointly attack and pacify the Zheng pirate army. Di Waite, the top Dutch governor in Taiwan, immediately agreed to the request to send troops after meeting with Yu Shigao. Just because there's really no reason not to accept it! Zheng Zhilong has grown into a big problem for his henchmen, and the price offered by Mr. Yu is too tempting. In addition to promising to divide all his property equally after the elimination of Zheng Zhilong, Yu Zhigao also gave a condition that the Dutch had been looking forward to for many years and dreamed of: after the deed was completed, he agreed to open up the maritime trade between the Netherlands and the Ming Dynasty.

This time the battle of Tongshan is a bait, but Zheng Zhilong, a big fish, is too huge, Yu Zhigao's palm is in a cold sweat, the black pressure of the warship has already sailed to the port, and the big war is about to break out! But his Dutch allies were slow to move.

Zheng Zhilong walked out of the cabin, looked at the small boat of the Ming army in front of him that was disproportionate to his own warship, and said with a wild smile: "It's rare for the imperial court to be so backbone this time, but it's a pity that it's all like little chickens, what's the use of birds, come on, bombard them for me." ”

Zheng Zhilong gave an order, and countless cannon barrels were aimed at these "weak" warships, and shells rained down like rain in all directions. What is surprising is that these small boats do not retreat but advance, Zheng Zhilong twisted his eyebrows and said strangely: "Why is the Ming army sailor so backbone this time?" Are they stupid enough to bite the elephant with ants, and let these small boats that are not afraid of death come and besiege us? I don't know who this conductor is, so he shouldn't be so stupid, right? ”

His own brother Zheng Zhibao spat and said in a rough and brutal voice: "Fuck it, even if there are any conspiracies, we will crush it with absolute strength, and we can't kill it as much as we want." ”

At this moment, someone on the boat in front shouted: "Boss, there is no one on board!" "By this time it was already possible to see the decks of some ships, and there was not a single sailor in the air, so it was no wonder that they were all moving forward with such a shelling. Zheng Zhilong had a faint sense of foreboding in his heart, such an abnormal move by the Ming army must have a deep meaning.

Suddenly, the boats in front of them caught fire, and the wind took advantage of the fire to burn very quickly, and it seemed that a large number of flammable materials had been filled with them, and things were set up to ignite them at regular intervals. Although he had never seen the use of a large number of warships for fire attack tactics, by this time, Zheng Zhilong finally understood the intentions of the Ming army, but it was too late.

Tongshan Port formed an arc from the inside out, and hundreds of warships were crowded into it, making it extremely difficult to turn around. Zheng Zhilong was in danger, and stopped his subordinates' eagerness to ram his companion's boat. sneered and said: "The Ming army is going to fight hard, but he has this little capital, all of which is used to set fires, I want to see what he uses to fight me next." ”

On the pirate ship that was on fire in front, he set up a baffle and fled to the ship behind him, Zheng Zhilong waved the dragon flag, commanded his ship to distance himself, and put out the fire and counterattack.

Yu Zhigao stood on the shore, in the midst of a strong fortress, watched the battle on the sea from the crack, jumped to his feet and scolded: "This group of red-haired people is really unreliable, they haven't come for so long!" Shoot all the shells out for me, and wait for reinforcements from the red-haired fan! ”

The red-coated cannons neatly placed on the shore fired back at the pirates with heavy artillery fire. However, it was obviously inferior to Zheng Zhilong's ferocious firepower, and as the forts continued to be blown up, the defeat of the Ming army was revealed.

Finally, the belated Dutch ship sailed behind the pirates. Over the years, Zheng Zhilong has had a good relationship with the Dutch, and he even worked as a petty official in the Dutch East India Company, where there is a group of his friends who drink and meat. But for the sake of profit, they are going to attack their friends today.

Zheng Zhilong became nervous at this time, he laughed angrily, his eyes were round, and he roared: "Don't panic, quickly wave the flag and command the warship behind, turn the bow of the ship, and beat me out." The Ming army has no ability to pursue, as long as we defeat these Dutch pigs, we can return to Dongfan Island, and then we will clean them up together! ”

I have to say that Zheng Zhilong, these pirates, are the well-deserved kings of the South China Sea! They are well-armed, brave and brave in battle, and not afraid of death. Even if he was attacked on the back of the abdomen, he was still in danger and turned around to confront the Dutch.

A cannon exploded under the ship where Putmans was, causing a splash of water that was several feet high, and Putmans was drenched. Holding on to the railing, he stood firm, and sighed, "Our Lord Governor must have gone crazy to think of provoking this group of pirates!" ”

At this time, on Dongfan Island, the Dutch rushed down the mountain, rushed out of the forest, and fired wantonly on the unprepared Zheng family and horses. The combat strength of the Zheng family army left behind was not as strong as that of the people who went to sea, plus they were unprepared and were caught off guard, is there a strong leader who can stand up and command the overall situation. The Zheng army, which had the advantage of troops, was defeated and retreated, and the Dutch saw this and became more and more courageous, advancing all the way.

After several hours of fierce fighting, Zheng Jiajun gradually gained a foothold and fought with the Dutch. On the sea, their warships have already gained the upper hand, and although they have brought out one-fifth of the warships, they are still numerically crushing the Minghe coalition army. If nothing else, Zheng Zhilong will win a big victory just like history, and from then on, Da Ming will not dare to have any thoughts about him, and will turn to Zhao'an. And the Dutch will also be miserable by him.

However, the unexpected has already arrived.

In the small port of Quanzhou, the eight warships are not worth mentioning compared to the naval battlefield on the sea in the distance. But on Dongfan Island, in the eyes of those who have already lost both, this strange army is like a divine soldier descending from the sky. A thousand warriors who were full of fighting spirit and had the belief of victory finally set foot on the land of Dongfan.

The warship of the Francois also appeared on the surface of the Tongshan Sea as promised, and Zheng Zhilong, who had always been confident, finally panicked. He recognized the flag flying on the uninvited warship on the southern sea, which was the Franco-Rang man who had always been at odds with him. A terrible thought came to his mind, was this actually a designed three-on-one? It's impossible, the Francois and the Dutch have always been incompatible, how could they join forces to attack themselves?

On the Franc warship, Governor Coqueilla was overjoyed and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Prince really did not deceive us, the Dutch and the pirate Ming army have already fought in chaos, it's time to clean up these two messy things." ”
