Chapter 0343 - Naval Battle
"It's all your own doing. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" Ning Daguan smiled and excused himself, but he was very useful to Huang Yuan's words in his heart, no matter what, the man in front of him is a person who knows how to be grateful, which is very good, Ning Zhiyuan himself is also a nostalgic person.
It's just that the two thousand people who originally followed him in Jinling are now only half of them, which makes him a little sentimental, although most of these people are killed in battle, but there are a few people who have eliminated themselves by themselves, they deceive and conceal the money that does not belong to them or bully others, every time they encounter such a thing, they are designed to the old brother Ning Zhiyuan, but whenever he has time, he will personally deal with it, but he will only sigh and then deal with it according to law.
People's hearts are difficult to satisfy, and there is too much darkness where rights and privileges exist, and the status of those soldiers in Ningxia is not more than ordinary luck is also a calamity, just like the turbulent Ming Dynasty at this time, whether it was caused by officials or the emperor, I am afraid that most people will think that it is a corrupt official, this is a fact, Chongzhen also thinks so, so he criticized these officials in the two official articles such as the Guilty Edict, and Ning Zhiyuan has always known that this is the case, but is it that simple?
If it is just relying on the selflessness of the officials to maintain the operation of this court, and only relying on everyone's pure consciousness, then this is the best joke, and there will be no such thing, Ning Zhiyuan always feels that everything is relaxed, there are its laws, there are too many corrupt officials, maybe this is the fate, but Chongzhen does not have the courage and ability to break this fate.
"My subordinates don't have the ability." Huang Yuan smiled, and then reported on the matter, in the end, he was still very talented, and his words were very clear.
"According to Gongzi's orders, we have 50,000 people and 50 big ships from Phi Island, and now we are approaching Xiaoliuqiu, and there are many people in a stalemate, but the group of people is not strong in counterattack, almost no effect, presumably they will be able to land soon..."
"Nothing at all?" Ning Zhiyuan pursed his lips and looked at Huang Yuan, are you too strong or Zheng Zhilong too weak?
Although he has never liked Zheng Zhilong, it is unreliable to say that such a pirate entrenched in the southwest and southeast is so easy to handle, right? Ning Zhiyuan knew that many people in the south had immigrated to Xiaoliuqiu, which was later Baodao, under Zheng Zhilong's operation, so Zheng Zhilong should attach great importance to Taiwan.
However, 50,000 people are indeed a lot, and it seems that Li Jun's power in the northeast is developing very well.
"Zheng Zhilong is really so weak?" Ning Zhiyuan asked directly, his tone was puzzled, not questioning, but making Huang Yuan feel a pressure.
Huang Yuan explained, "Childe, our soldiers are too strong, and there is a big ship with cannons, and they are all in chaos under the bombardment. ”
"Oh? Have you unloaded the cannons defending the city? Ning Zhiyuan was a little surprised, he couldn't talk about whether it was good or bad, but it did play a big role.
It's just, isn't this a bit of a bully for elementary school students? But it feels really cool, originally Ning Zhiyuan asked Li Jun to send as many troops as possible to attack Xiaoliuqiu while ensuring the safety of Phi Dao and several cities in North Korea, just to let Zheng Zhilong take care of himself, so that Ning Zhiyuan himself could take advantage of the situation to settle the matter of Liangguang and then wait for time to get Zheng Zhilong done, but now it seems to be simpler, right?
Yes, it's simpler.
.........
Kou Baimen was in Xu Yuya's room, and the girl in front of her, who was a few years older than herself, was still sleeping, and she heard that she was tired and fainted, well, that's it.
She hasn't taken a good look at Xu Yuya, who looks asleep, when she was in the carriage, she chose to tie her heart to Ning Zhiyuan without a heart, and when she came here, it was because Ning Zhiyuan's toss got up late every day, just like it was almost noon now, but she had just gotten up, and when she looked at Xu Yuya, she couldn't help but marvel that this was really a beauty, and as a woman, she couldn't help but feel so.
Kou Baimen doesn't have an intuitive evaluation of his appearance, but he doesn't think it's more beautiful than the sleeping beauty on the bed, as a woman, she is sensitive, judging from the details of Xu Yuya and Ning Zhiyuan's relationship, the two seem to be very delicate.
In the face of Ning Zhiyuan, she is still a little sour, but in the face of Xu Yuya, she has no emotions at all, from the original autism and indifference in the old courtyard to the current life, Kou Baimen is very satisfied, and Xu Yuya is very similar to her in personality, but it seems that she is specially waiting for a person like Ning Zhiyuan, they are very compatible, and they have common interests that Kou Baimen does not understand, which makes her feel happier at the same time as Ning Zhiyuan.
His husband is a strange person, from time to time he will pop up a few words that he doesn't understand and then quickly correct them, he talks to himself or other sisters gently, sincerely, so that they can feel a deep love, but she doesn't see Xu Xiangya's ecstasy and difficulty herself, she doesn't know if her husband has any thoughts about Xu Xiangya, but she knows that her husband likes to get along with her very much, and that's enough.
And Kou Baimen herself, most of the time, still doesn't like to talk to people, although her personality is a lot more sticky now, she is still the same, she is not interested in the things that Xu Yuya is tinkering with, so after coming to Liangguang, she rarely takes the initiative to come to Xu Yuya's side, and now she feels that she should also try to communicate with Xu Yuya more often.
.........
Zheng Zhilong's power on the southern coast is unimaginable to ordinary people, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the uncrowned king, not to mention that he controls the entire trade along the southeast coast, that is, he chokes the throat of most people, even in terms of armament, it is difficult to match, just to say that he has repeatedly repelled the attacks of the Dutch, India and other ghosts is enough to explain everything.
Such a person, who is only in his thirties, has unparalleled scenery, it is impossible for a rough person to have this height, and it is necessary to have the right and left sources on the bright side.
Even if it is just a Liangguang governor, it can be enough to attract Zheng Zhilong's attention, not to mention Ning Zhiyuan's identity and the aura he has brought in the past few years, he can't help but plan well, the relationship must be good, of course, this is the first choice, if the other party is too aggressive, forget it, after all, in this coast, even if Chongzhen, a real dragon, comes, you have to coil it, let alone just a Ning Zhiyuan, but Zheng Zhilong wants to make money with harmony.
So he knew it from the time Ning Daguan stepped into Liangguang, and he wanted to come to Zhaoqing for a good time, but he didn't expect that kid to be really restless, and he made such a big scene in Quanzhou, yes, this matter is very big, but it doesn't mean how sensational it is for Zheng Zhilong, it's a to die some aliens, but from this matter he saw Ning Zhiyuan's temperament, this new Ning Daren doesn't seem to be easy to get along with, and it's no wonder that being in a high position at a young age is bound to have no one in his eyes and be arrogant.
In this case, if Zheng Zhilong still makes up, it will be boring to find himself, then Ning Zhiyuan can't say that he will directly turn his face with him, as a person with status, he chose to wait for a while, young man, let him suffer a little first, and then he thinks that the time is ripe.
A big thing happened in the imperial court, even the capital was almost ended, an official didn't have much confidence, and he didn't have much confidence to say that he had been hanging him for so long, so he issued an invitation, although Ning Zhiyuan had some difficulties with the official who sent the letter, but finally agreed, he can be seen as the compromise of the young adult in the helplessness of reality, but as Zheng Zhilong, he also has character.
It was good that he invited Ning Zhiyuan to come over, and there were more than a dozen leaders of foreign forces or Han forces, but he didn't plan to go, he never said that he was going on the invitation post, and the letter-sending official Zheng Daren was referring to Zheng Yuanlong, who stayed in Liangguang to take charge of affairs, which was his henchman for many years, so he also showed his superiority to give Ning Zhiyuan a dismount, letting him know that it was still the power of the Zheng family.
But...
And then...
He felt that he had lost face in front of the people of the whole two Guangzhou, no matter how bad it was, he was also embarrassed in front of the leaders of the dozen or so forces and their guards, and so on as many as 100 people, so Ning Zhiyuan didn't even go if he agreed! As a result, a banquet of wisdom that so many people were looking forward to turned into a regular party, and the promised first meeting with the new governor turned into a family greeting, and at the end of the night, everyone's faces turned pale, and they were all tricked.
Although it was the reason why Ning Zhiyuan didn't come, who told them all to go... So they were played by Zheng Zhilong, or Zheng Zhilong was played by Ning Zhiyuan, just thinking that the latter made them a little secretly happy and didn't have much anger.
They and Zheng Zhilong have not reached the point where they are united, and there are contradictions where there are people.
The matter reached Zheng Zhilong at that time, and although he was not there at the time, he still felt a hot feeling on his face.
This little cub is so ignorant! He is not very old, but he is still more than ten years older than Ning Zhiyuan, he shouted this little cub as a matter of course, and he will not have much kindness if he grits his teeth, Zheng Zhilong feels that this Ning Zhiyuan still has to be treated!
However, to be able to be strong to this extent, it is indeed not comparable to those rotten Confucians, Zheng Zhilong is very clear, and in the current situation, unless he directly uses the knife, there is no good way for a while.
Before he could wait much time to brew, something went wrong in his own rear.
Zheng Zhilong felt that he was probably not in a good year, the sea area on the southeast coast has always been under his control, and the trade port has also been widened to many areas, under normal circumstances, this is his backyard, so he is not strict with the detection of his backyard, especially at night, but he doesn't want to be just a short night, there are already many ships around dozens of miles away, you must know that this is definitely a short distance on the unobstructed sea, Zheng Zhilong thought that if it weren't for the night, the other party's ship speed couldn't be too fast, I'm afraid that they have already landed, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
He hurriedly sent someone to snipe by boat and achieved some results, but at this moment, Zheng Zhilong's heart was very flustered, he couldn't understand where this man came from, the unknown is often frightening, and the other party's boat seemed to be Han Chinese, which made him even more puzzling.
I don't understand, but he only knows that this time the trouble is not small, when he was a teenager, he was adrift on the sea, Zheng Zhilong has a lot of experience in naval battles, and he has won several key wars in a row, so he has his current status, just a cursory look at him has the bottom in his heart.
The other party is skilled, well-trained, and generally strong, with about 50,000 people, looking like a person from the eastern side of Beizhili, but how is it possible! If there is such a force on the side of Beizhili, then why did Daming fall to such a point!
The two sides were in a stalemate for a long time, and then the other party's ships were slowly pushing forward, and it seemed that Zheng Zhilong's side had lost the upper hand.
.........
After a brief panic, Zheng Zhilong had quieted down.
The other party is very strong, there are a lot of people, but the ability does not seem to be strong, at least he knows that the combat ability on the sea is not very strong, if he is allowed to lead this team, he thinks that he can capture Xiaoliuqiu in three days, but the other party does not have that ability, just step by step to strive for stability, Zheng Zhilong, who has fought many ghosts, is fully confident in repelling this team, because he found that this team has an obvious disadvantage.
That's the cannon.
The ships that come out to fight must have cannons, and the dozens of ships on the opposite side also have cannons, but Zheng Zhilong can only see at a glance that except for the cannons of the leading ships, which makes him not know what the hell is, the rest of the ships are only native artillery of the Ming Dynasty, the most significant feature is that the accuracy is low, the power is not large, the recoil is strong, in a word, it is chicken ribs, and in the eyes of Zheng Zhilong, who is used to seeing Western-style cannons, it seems to be a waste.
As for Zheng Zhilong's own troops, all of them were British cannons he bought at his own expense, and in the recent Battle of Liuluo Bay, he relied on this to defeat the Dutch advanced battleship with cannons, compared with the troops in front of him, Zheng Zhilong was naturally full of confidence.
"Boom, boom, boom..."The sound of the earth-shattering cannonballs was heard for a long time, splashing on the surface of the sea.
Naval battles are mostly like this many times, and there are no violent screams on the battlefield as imagined when bombing from the air, and even the hit rate of the excellent artillery will not exceed 20% now, and most of them are just going to the bottom of the sea.
This has been going on on on the surface of the sea for three days.
On the ship that came from Phi Dao, the general in command was called Fang Sheng, and at this moment he frowned, feeling that he was a little too big.
On the first day, it was going well, and he said to Huang Yuan, who had already been registered, that he should be able to land soon, but now it is unlikely, and he has even had the intention of retreating, if he knows that there is no result in persevering, then why continue.
On the first day, the other side did not show their cannons, and they would occasionally hit several ships and damage them by leaning on the cannons on the main ship, but now the situation is just the opposite, and the other side has a clear advantage over themselves and others.
Can he be blamed for this? Fang Sheng felt that he had nothing to do.
