Chapter 921: Zhenhai

Liu Guojin was secretly frightened, and Yusheng's strength on the grassland was well known, but no one thought that it had reached such a point. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Of course, he wouldn't think that what Wang Faxiang said was all the truth, and there should be exaggeration, but since he dared to say so, he also had quite terrifying strength.

In this way, Zhang Han's strength may not be under Dongyu, if Wang Wenyan provokes something this time, Ling De and Yusheng really rebel, I am afraid it will not end well in the future.

But after thinking about it, he is only considered a periphery in the Donglin Party, far from the core position, Wang Wenyan has always been above the top, and he doesn't put himself in his eyes at all, no matter how strong he is in Yusheng, he has Wang Wenyan to go to the top of his head, blow a pool of spring water, and worry about his own?

However, today he sold a lot of favors to He Yusheng, which is not a small gain.

"But please rest assured," Wang Faxiang said, "As long as they start from business, in business, no matter what kind of means, we and Yusheng will definitely follow." ”

After coming out of Liu's mansion, Wang Faxiang immediately turned back to the intelligence point where he was, and then wrote today's events into an abridgement, sealed it with the highest secret envelope, and sent it to Lizhuang and Qingcheng at an expedited speed of 600 miles, it is estimated that he will be able to reach Lizhuang tomorrow, and Qingcheng the day after tomorrow.

……

"Ahead is Zhenhai Harbor, take this port, and half of this battle will be won!"

Yu Zhigao's beard and hair are half white, which is already a standard veteran image.

The phoenix-winged helmet, the silver mountain armor, the bright red cloak, the gold-painted palm-wide cowhide belt, and the long black leather boots, all of them showed the owner's status as an unearthly high-ranking military attachΓ©.

The Yu family was originally a family of Jiangmen, and there was a legendary figure called Yu Dayou...... Yu Dayou practiced martial arts as a young man, and once subdued the monks of Shaomu Mountain with a sword, which is not a novelist's words, but a real historical fact, and later led the army and was unlucky and fell several times, even if this is the establishment of an unimaginable meritorious deed, the famous general of the anti-Japanese army, Qi Jiguang was the first to be recommended, followed by Yu Dayou.

Whether it is martial arts, poetry and songs, or the method of military training, or the ability to lead troops in actual combat, Yu Dayou is as good as Qi Jiguang, and it is really sad to think about it, before Jiajing to the middle of Wanli, Daming is really a bright star, Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou is the most twinkling twin stars.

Now Yu Zhigao's heart is to revive the family's reputation and catch up with the glory of his father.

More than 100 naval warships of different sizes sailed sideways and flew towards the Penghu Islands not far away.

The sea is blue, intoxicating, the wind and waves are not big, the hull is only slightly undulating, behind it is a large area of land, and the center left is the nearest offshore base.

There were more than 2,000 officers and soldiers on this expedition, all of whom were Fujian disciples brought out by Yu Shigao for many years, who were proficient in sailing ships and water warfare, and were also the essence of Fujian's naval division.

The entire South China Sea is huge, and what really controls the sea and maintains the security of the coastal ground is actually the more than 100 small boats in front of him and the more than 2,000 sailors and soldiers on board, and of course, there is also a Yu Zhigao with a big red cloak fluttering in the wind.

Adjutant generals, guerrillas, garrisons, there are generals on each ship, and there is only one Chinese army with the rank of guerrilla by Yu Zhigao's side.

Naval warfare is not like land warfare, the generals are surrounded by their families, and many generals are entourage, and if something is wrong, they will retreat safely under the protection of the elite, unless it is the tragic result of the annihilation of the whole army, for example, many generals at the level of the general died in the Liaodong battlefield, otherwise, the safety of the generals on the battlefield is still very guaranteed.

Naval warfare is completely different, a ship sinks or not, sometimes it depends on the will of God, God calls you unlucky, no one can do anything, you are far enough, the cannonballs are a dozen miles away, unless the general is not close to the battlefield of the naval battle at all, otherwise there will be danger in any position.

But if you are not close to the command, then there is no point for the generals to go to the battlefield in person, and the system of the Ming Dynasty is that the civilian officials are responsible for the strategic level and logistics management, and they are responsible for the generals. At this time, the military attaches of the Ming Dynasty still have a little bottom line, just the general soldiers of the Liaodong battlefield have died five or six in battle, unlike ten years later, the officers and soldiers will flee when they see the captives, and the thieves will also flee when they see the wind, and they will simply surrender if they can't escape...... Since the complete shamelessness, the general soldiers of the Ming Dynasty have rarely recorded their deaths in battle......

Although Yu Zhigao is the deputy commander-in-chief, he also has to stand on the sea ship at this time, and the rest of the generals are commanded on other crews, which can be regarded as sharing the risk, once the Chinese army is in danger, other generals can still hold the general flag and continue to command, so as not to completely collapse because a general died in an accident.

Penghu is just ahead, Zhenhai Harbor is the most suitable deep-water port for landing, before the fishermen were mostly ashore here to replenish, Penghu originally had thousands of fixed or semi-fixed residents, in addition to the people who were plundered to Taiwan to build castles for the Dutch, the rest of the manpower was for the Dutch to build a number of castles in Zhenhai Harbor and the island, according to the records at the time, the Dutch built stone castles, just because of the urgency of time, did not build a large-scale fortress, it is also a great luck in misfortune.

In the eyes of Yu Zhigao and the ordinary Ming army, the key place of Zhenhai Harbor is a very small fortress, which can only accommodate less than 100 people stationed in it, and several Dutch warships have been untied and sailed, leaving the port before the main force of the Ming army's naval division arrives, grabbing the upper hand in advance, and observing the situation on this side from afar.

"This is to Baishawan on the other side of Fengwei Cabinet Island, where Hongmaoyi has built a fort."

A small officer listened to Yu Zhigao's words, pointed to the retreating Dutch warship, and said: "The terrain over there is precipitous, and it will be very troublesome if the ship retreats." ”

"It doesn't matter." Yu Zhigao snorted and said, "Let's break the enemy in front of you." ”

Yu Zhigao turned his head and glanced at a young man in a white robe beside him, and he faintly felt some respect in his heart, this young man Xiucai heard that he also came out of school, and there was some ink in his stomach, although Yu Zhigao was a tiger father, he was a dog, and his father's knowledge and talent did not fall on his head at all, but the family history, General Yu still has some respect for scholars, the young man in front of him, Si Swenwen's appearance, is also a character, northerners follow the warship to the sea, the wind and waves are bumpy, will also face a bloody battle, this young man named Li Pingzhi in the north is all peaceful, and his expression is as usual.

"Kill it, regardless of the dead and wounded!"

The distance is very close, and it is a tailwind, after Yu Zhigao issued the order, the flags on the big ships of the Chinese army were spreading, and all the ships were vying to move forward, and some small boats with four pulps and eight pulps were like arrows from the string, flying forward.

Then there was the sound of cannons, and there were five or six cannons in the small castle built by the Dutch, all of which were small bronze cannons, and when they came within an effective range of five hundred paces, they were fired.

However, the effect is extremely poor, the Ming army has forty serious warships, those small boats that come with the big ships add up to more than 100, there are 2,000 people, the Dutch guards the harbor and the soldiers stationed in the castle are only more than 100 people, the Ming warships still continue to move forward in the roar of artillery, the large and small ships are either sailing forward, or rowing like flying, the sea water is cut by the ships like scissors, and white waves appear on the blue sea.

Approaching the harbor and the trestle, the sailors jumped from their boats into the sea and climbed in the direction of the castle with their swords in their mouths.

There are also artillery on the warships of the Ming army, although a ship has one or two cannons, and most of them are old Franc machines, but it is better than ants to bite and kill elephants, and the artillery is also constantly roaring, most of the cannons fall in the water or on the beach, and there are also a few cannonballs hitting small castles, breaking into pieces.

The Dutch on the castle soon became untenable, they first bombarded with firearms, hitting the officers and soldiers of the sailors who flocked to the castle, and the soldiers of the Ming army screamed after being hit, but the Ming army won in the crowd, and the Ming soldiers who went ashore soon exceeded a thousand, while the Dutch were only a hundred, the difference in numbers was too much, and the Ming army sailors were the elite of a hundred battles brought out by Yu Zhigao, and the courage was not under the Hongyi, and it still maintained a fairly rapid advance under the bombardment of the firecrackers, under the double pressure of personnel attacks and Ming artillery, The Dutchman in the small castle suddenly opened the castle door and fled away at the castle gate.

More than 100 soldiers of the Dutch East India Company in red uniforms fled in confusion on the edge of the beach, and the Ming army attacked quickly, but did not catch up with the fast Dutch.

After confirming the capture of Zhenhai Harbor, the sailors and soldiers gave a burst of welcome, and the gunners on each ship were so excited that they each fired a few empty cannons to celebrate.

Li Pingzhi bowed his hand to Yu Zhigao and said: "Congratulations to the commander-in-chief, in the battle of Zhenhaigang, the officers and soldiers of the naval division are extremely brave, and they are all the work of the adults' ordinary training." ”

Li Pingzhi's compliment is really from the heart, from the north to the south, the level of the Ming officers and soldiers has been declining, and even the northern border army is less elite and more cannon fodder, not to mention the southern Ming army, Yu Zhigao's two thousand sailors, at least in terms of blood and courage and combat skills, are really right for the imperial court.

"It's nothing." Yu Zhigao said lightly: "Two thousand people attack a hundred people, what is this?" There are hundreds of soldiers in Fengwei Cabinet Island, and there are large forts that are strong, and I heard that there are huge cannons to guard it, and this is the real challenge. ”

After the officers and men of the naval division dispersed the defensive line and completely cleared the surrounding area, Yu Zhigao did not lead his troops ashore, but withdrew most of the men, and the fleet continued to sail northward, during which Yu Zhigao explained to Li Pingzhi: "Fengwei Cabinet Island is surrounded by water on three sides, and the terrain connecting the land on one side is also very narrow, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if possible, it is still necessary to attack from the sea.

In the evening, the fleet of the Ming Army's naval division arrived at the sea near Fengwei Cabinet Island.

At this moment, the rumbling cannon sounded, and it was the sentinel ship in front that triggered the artillery bombardment of the shore battery.

Miles away, you can clearly see that the fire of the cannon pierced the somewhat dim sky, the gunpowder burst out when it burned, and the cannonball made a screaming sound when it hit, the sound was very loud, Li Pingzhi was knowledgeable, and immediately said: "This is a heavy artillery!" ”

Yu Zhigao glanced at Li Ping and said: "It's heavy artillery, there are many heavy guns in this fort in Baisha Harbor, all of which were dismantled from the battleship by the Dutch Hongyi, and according to them, they are all eighteen-pounder guns or twenty-four-pounder guns. ”
