Chapter 127: The White Ship Strikes

Although the spies stationed in Batavia did not send the news back, the spies who stayed in Macao successfully delivered the news of the arrival of the Australian giant ship to Zheng Zhilong.

The Zheng family, who got the news, gathered the warships and merchant ships cruising on the sea as soon as possible, and gathered towards Xiamen, Quanzhou, and other important towns, trying to use the advantage of relying on the harbor to fight against the Australian giant ships.

In the telegram receiving room on the Sea Blue, the news of the Zheng family's assembly of ships has been received, and everyone just feels ridiculous, this Zheng Zhilong would actually use such a tactic, wouldn't it become a live target if he stopped in the inner bend of the port.

The port of Quanzhou City has been filled with Zhengjia warships and merchant ships, all the ships are lined up in a line with their muzzles aimed at the open sea, and even a few cannons have been set up in several places on the shore, judging from all kinds of signs, it is a manifestation of a great enemy's attack.

The people in the city also felt that the situation was wrong, once upon a time, the ships of the Zheng family would gather in the inner bend, it seems that the recent rumors of the Australian giant ship attack are indeed true, although the government has repeatedly blocked the news, but now the facts are in front of them.

In the Zheng Mansion in Quanzhou, Zheng Sen was still dressed in Confucian attire, sitting in the hall, looking at his father's back and forth: "Father, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for us to dock such a huge ship in Australia." ”

"Sen'er, if you change the plan at this time, it will definitely cause chaos in the army, and the original plan will be made anew, I'm afraid it's too late." Zheng Zhilong was also a little worried about whether this word long snake array would be useful at this time.

Since the Australians arrived in Macao at such a fast speed, if they changed their plans now, if the giant ship happened to come, they would not be able to form combat power at that time, and they would not become a live target at sea, so he did not dare to give orders to change it.

"What is the situation in the army, but there are still rumors."

"Father, rumors in the army have decreased, but they still come out from time to time, and now the morale of the army is quite stable, and the child has formed a pacification supervision team to pacify the battalions in the army."

"Okay, good, Sen'er did a good job, this pacification supervision team can be promoted throughout my Zheng family's army, presumably this is also learned from the Australians' military books." Zheng Zhilong asked with a relieved expression.

"It is the child who has benefited a lot from the military book given by the Australian." At this time, Zheng Sen, who was surnamed Guoye, didn't know that he had gradually become an Australian fan, and every time he talked and did things, he would compare them with Australian books.

Just as the father and son were dealing with the Australian giant ship, a soldier trotted in.

"Report, my lord, the Australian giant ship is ten miles outside the port."

"It's coming, it's coming, this Australian giant ship travels thousands of miles a day, and it's true," Zheng Zhilong said to himself while listening to the report.

"Inform the port soldiers, strictly guard the ship, and if the Australian giant ship dares to approach, use artillery to meet it." Zheng Zhilong commanded, and then walked out of the mansion with Zheng Sen, he was also very curious about the Australian giant ship, wanting to see how big this ship was, and whether it was really as big as a hill as rumored.

At this time, the port of Quanzhou was already full of Zheng family soldiers, and not far a thousand meters away, a huge white ship could already be seen docked there, and there was no turmoil.

"Giant ship, if it is really a giant ship, presumably the treasure ship of the year is nothing more than that," Zheng Zhilong sighed.

At this moment, a small boat in the direction of the giant ship was moving quickly towards the harbor, and the speed was like a galloping horse.

A general in armor came over and asked if he wanted to open the cannon, Zheng Zhilong waved his hand, meaning to let the other party come over, he also wanted to see this small boat that was running so fast on the sea.

Liu Yun, who was sitting on the assault boat, served as the special envoy for the submission of the war document.

As soon as he came ashore, Liu Yun was surrounded by people left and right and pressed to Zheng Zhilong's location.

"Master Zheng, Master Zheng, I haven't seen you for many days, but the two of you are okay."

"Hmph," Zheng Zhilong glanced at Liu Yun and snorted coldly.

Zheng Sen took Liu Yun's hand with a smile, "Mr. Liu is okay, the military books you sent to the students have benefited the students a lot." "

Oh, in this way, Childe must be familiar with the essence of it, Liu Yun asked with a smile: "Lord Zheng, this time my country's Ministry of Foreign Trade officially like the war letter you submitted, we will give you half an hour to think, if you give up the suppression of other agents, we will not blame the past in accordance with the contract." ”

Liu Yun said with a smile on his face, and then handed a letter to Zheng Zhilong.

"Hmph, you and other small countries in Fanbang also dare to be enemies of my Daming Water Master, Lord Liu, for the sake of your past gifts, I won't worry about you today, even if you go back and tell the so-called Ministry of Foreign Trade, my Zheng family Water Master is not a vegetarian."

"So, then I'll take my leave." Liu Yun arched his hand. Since there is no longer any need to talk about it, let's talk with cannons.

Back on the Hailan, Wang Tiehammer asked how the situation was, "Has Zheng Zhilong compromised?" ”

"Lao Zheng doesn't seem to be compromising, let's start the war in half an hour," Liu Yun shook his head and replied.

"It's okay, if you don't let everyone in the Zheng family see it, he won't give up on the true strength of my Australian Navy." The king replied with a hammer, and then ordered the men to prepare for war in half an hour.

"Father, this Australia does not seem to have the intention of fighting, I think we can use delaying tactics, as long as the food on his huge ship runs out, he will definitely be defeated without a fight, and he will leave."

"Sen'er, if this is the case, it will definitely make people say that I, Zheng Yiguan, am as timid as a mouse, how can I gain a foothold on this sea in the future, even if the Australian giant ship is not ready to fight, I will give the order to open fire."

"Father, this," Zheng Sen still wanted to continue to persuade, after all, he didn't want to see the Zheng family really meet with the Australian soldiers.

"Sen'er, you don't need to say much, the war will start in half an hour, I want to see what the strength of this Australian sailor is, this ship may not be powerful." Zheng Zhilong said and glanced at the Sea Blue in the distance.

Half an hour later, Wang Tiezhu glanced at the watch on his wrist, and looked in the direction of Quanzhou Port: the cannon on the left was ready for battle, and ten minutes later, he opened fire on all the ships flying the Zheng flag in the inner bend of the port.

"Boom, boom," fifteen cannon cannons on the left side of the Sea Blue were loaded and fired at the same time, and the shells flew in one direction in an instant, only the sound of a roaring explosion was heard in the distance, and various shouts of people who were injured by the shells and fell into the water.

In just one round of firing, four or five ships of the Zheng family were instantly blown to pieces, and the artillery on all the ships of the Zheng family was also firing at the same time, but the shells could not hit the place where the Sea Blue docked.

"Father, this Australian artillery is really sharp, if it continues like this, our ships will soon be smashed to pieces, so quickly order all ships to go out of port to meet them."

"No, Sen'er, if you leave the port at this time, you will fall into the range of the Australian cannon, you see that the distance of such a garden can hit the opponent's cannon, let alone a closer distance." At this time, Zheng Zhilong already regretted opening a station with the Australians, but he didn't turn back when he opened the bow.

The cannons on both sides were continuously reloading and firing salvos, but the Zheng family's shells couldn't hit the side of the Australian giant ship at all, and at this time, the Zheng family's ships had already been destroyed.

Zheng Zhilong's heart was dripping blood, perhaps for the sake of a quick war, the Sea Blue continued to fire while sailing like a bend in the port, and at this time, the Sea Blue gave Zheng Zhilong an ultimatum on the radio, if he did not surrender, he would sink all the ships.

This frightened Zheng Zhilong, if all the ships were sunk, then his right to speak along the coast of Daming would inevitably be suppressed, looking at the Hailan that was getting closer and closer, the cannonballs hitting it seemed to have no effect, Zheng Zhilong sighed, and finally gave the order to stop the battle.

As a white chess piece hung in the direction of the harbor, the upper cannon of the Sea Blue also stopped firing.
