Chapter 126: Storming the Enemy's Nest
Some of the musketeers trained by Huang Sheng himself were about to become marines, and the ships equipped with advanced artillery could not be defeated and captured, and if they were unfortunately surrounded, they would be blown up and sunk into the sea. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The Huang family has warships equipped with advanced artillery, and they will be invincible in this era, even if they can't turn the tide, they can take the people on the Huang family island to New Zealand, take all the books they can collect, and let the seeds of Han civilization create glory in a foreign land.
Now that the Huang family has a strong development momentum, it stands to reason that it is not so difficult to cripple the ignorant and backward Tunguska savages!
The Huang family wants to make every effort to build warships, and seeking development at sea is the king, as long as there is the ability to compete with Jiannu, Liukou, and Daming, it is my generation's pursuit to guide the country.
Monopolizing the sea trade starts with controlling the Japanese routes, and the pirates here cannot be all defeated, and all the maritime merchants must know that only with enough force can they eat the bloody meal of running the sea.
It is also necessary to do it when it is necessary to raise Kou's self-respect, how does Haiqing Heyan fish in troubled waters? Wouldn't it be chaotic if there were ships in Japan, and those greedy bureaucratic capitals of the Ming Dynasty would not rush to it?
He is dressed in the coat of a Ming official, and he is the titular Ming sailor in his hand, how can he start to rob the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty? It is impossible for his character to be unaware, because he can't bear to kill the Han people on the ship to prevent future troubles!
Therefore, the pirates are going to keep a part, and this time they will kill a part of it to tell Xiao Xiao on this route, who dares to attack the fleet of the Ming Huang family, although it is far away, it will be killed!
There will be huge profits in the uneven sea trade, sorry! The Huang family can only ensure that their sea ships can safely run to the sea and make a fortune, as for who wants to make such money, it depends on whether their strength is enough.
The pirate's lair on the front left island is already jumping at this time! Everyone knows that there is a great water master, and their goal is themselves.
The pirate leader is called Sakashima Jintra, a ronin, the original head of the family died in the warlord melee of the Japanese country, and the four brothers in the family gathered several samurai of the original head of the family to gather a dozen samurai who also lost their head of the house and became a ronin and fled to the sea to rob the house.
They slowly developed for more than ten years from the beginning of taking fishing boats to rob fishing villages, paid the price of two brothers killed in the war and more than half of the ronin, and finally owned dozens of sea ships and 10 big war ships, including eight Japanese Zhuyin ships and two Daming No. 2 fortune ships.
The two brothers took the trouble to buy six Hongyi cannons made by the Dutch, and built a rock-solid fort completely out of stone mixed with glutinous rice milk.
The real offensive and defensive battles were never fought at all, and it was often the case that the invading enemy had just approached and received a few shots, and then they went around the harbor in circles, and finally turned the rudder and went home.
The two brothers have countless gold and silver treasures, and they are no longer willing to fight hard! The two brothers are stationed in an old nest, enjoying the blessings of the family while training newcomers in a so-so manner.
Too many people are like this, a small wealth is peace, they have more than 500 people under their command, including nearly 300 ronins, and when they go out to rob, they are at least three vermilion ships to attack the lone armed merchant ship, and each time it is a small casualty and a big gain.
They had long since stopped slaughtering the people who had been robbed of merchant ships, but kept them as slaves or collected ransoms.
After the labor of thousands of people, after seven or eight years of painstaking management by the two brothers, the population has grown to two or three thousand, there are dozens of craftsmen who repair and maintain warships, and the livestock, poultry and vegetables in the port are self-sufficient.
The two brothers forgot that they were pirates who killed people and stole goods, and that this glorious profession could not be retired! You must continue to strengthen yourself, you must constantly fight the enemy, and you must keep one eye open when you sleep every day!
If you want to be a happy rich man, you will die quickly, Huang Sheng attacked five pirate ships, and has found that these pirates have seriously degraded and their anger is far inferior to that of Aoi Kumei's dozens of subordinates, and they are too much like a good boy when they raise their hands to surrender.
It stands to reason that pirates should not be so cowardly, and in a naval battle not too far from the land, it can be seen that no one chooses to jump into the sea when they find that they can't beat the opponent, but chooses to surrender and be slaughtered.
The rich man of Sakashima couldn't do it, and he got a report that many of the ships of the Great Ming Naval Division had come to the port, and among them was a very tall one, which they had never seen.
He hurriedly took dozens of people to the fort to observe with clairvoyants, and their family had two clairvoyants with eight times the focal length, which were bought at a high price from Westerners, and one for each brother, all of whom were like treasures.
With an eight-fold clairvoyant mirror, you can see the Huang family's fleet clearly, the Huang family's warships are here, and half of the horse ships have porcelain loading and unloading troubles, and they are left in Li Guozhu's private port, so there are twenty horse ships.
Lord Huang is ready to rob other people's things, how can the boat bring less? Huang Sheng was confident that he would not interfere with Huang Mingdao's command, and at this moment he was playing the 'lucky axe' in the cabin of the 'Guangning' and talking and laughing with his concubine Hexiang.
The flagship of the 'Liaodong' was in the center, eight warships lined up and slowly approached, and fifteen grass-skimming boats lined up to point directly at the waterway at the entrance of the port, and all the captains of the Huang family knew the situation there.
Sakashima was nervous but not afraid, and he brought all the arquebusiers fifty men to strengthen the defense.
He believed that as long as the fort's defense was impregnable, no matter how many ships the enemy came, it would be in vain, because in order for the guns of the warships to hit the fort, they had to approach the bottom of the fort one by one, where the waterways were narrow and the reefs were dense.
The gunners of the fort in three shifts all came, and there were twenty-seven men, plus three leaders, a total of thirty.
He naively thought that with eighty old brothers, he could completely hold the fort, although there were many warships from the Ming army, they could not rush up, and the islands of the home port were all broken cliffs and cliffs, and the warships could not dock at all.
The warships of the Ming army turned around a few times and found that this place was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and maybe they would retreat in the face of difficulties, and it was possible that the warships that rashly entered that waterway were sunk and blocked in the waterway.
He has seen too many warships, and he has not found a warship artillery that can bombard the Hongyi cannon on the Shanbao Fort, and the battery is harmless if it is shot by a few shots, how can the warship be shot condescendingly by the battery?
The Ming army came from afar and could not be besieged for a long time, and they could not starve to death after being besieged for two or three years.
Sakashima Jintra is indeed experienced and knowledgeable, but unfortunately he has no idea that the tactics of the Ming army are not to destroy the fort at all, but to make it non-existent on the fort.
No matter how powerful the artillery is, it has to be operated by people, and as long as the Huang family kills the enemy on the fort, the fort is a place of interest.
The pirate leader's impression of the cannonball is a big iron ball, and it is completely up to luck to shoot at such a distance, and the collapse of his own turret is an impossible task for the warship's artillery.
The opposing warship hurried close to shoot a few shots at the risk of being sunk by the battery artillery, and it was necessary to have a burst of luck to hit their own Hongyi cannon, and there was no possibility of destroying the cannon, and it was even more impossible for the three guns eight paces away to lose their attack power at the same time.
Although Sakashima Jintrance was confident, he was still a little uneasy as he watched the eight warships of the Ming army getting closer and closer.
The Hongyi cannons of the fort were all loaded and ready to fire, and the muzzles of the guns had already adjusted the elevation angle, and as soon as the Ming warships entered the firing range, they immediately showed them the colors that came from afar.
Seeing that there should be a Ming warship through the narrow water area and then advance one mile into the range of the Hongyi cannon, the Ming army stopped the ship on the periphery, and it was too strange that the bow of the ship was facing the fort, not the traditional sideways ship in a side-attack posture.
The Ming army was aiming, and at this time the best gunners were responsible for firing, and the best soldiers of the Huang family were of course officers, and these gunners were at least small flag officers, such as Wang Lianfa, the chief flag officer of the six products and hundreds of households, and also personally controlled the main ship gun.
