After receiving the news of the defeat of the former army sent by Zheng Qiu, Zheng Zhilong was not surprised or hesitated, and immediately led hundreds of people to evacuate, since he provoked Zhao Lie, a bad star, all the bitter fruits after the defeat had to be borne by himself, not to mention the humiliation and anger in his heart. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Of course, he couldn't take the silver in the cellar, the more than one million taels of silver was too huge, and he couldn't carry it without a hundred carts, that is, the Zheng family was just loaded with more than 200,000 taels of silver and some gold and silver jewelry, and the others couldn't take care of it.

Without these silver taels, Zheng Zhilong's so-called hegemony will be in vain, he can see this naval battle, there is no Galen battleship to suppress the formation, even if there are thousands of warships, there is no power to fight, but the construction of the Galen warship cost a lot of silver, and the million taels of silver cannot be taken away, and they are handed over.

Zheng Zhilong knew that he would never have the time to regain his former strength, Zhao Lie would not let him achieve all this, and he would do the same when he got along with each other in a different place, cutting the grass and eradicating the roots was a must.

But Zheng Zhilong will not stop there, it is impossible to recover completely, it is still possible to gather hundreds of warships to control Fujian again, of course, it is not easy, but he Zheng Zhilong will never give up easily, the days to come will be long, wait and see.

It's just that Zheng Zhilong didn't expect Zhao Lie's attention to him and the hatred of the Broken Army Sailor for him, and the pursuit of the Broken Army Sailor on the coast of Fujian made it impossible for the Zheng family to restore the Sailor.

Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhibao glanced at the Zheng Mansion with black smoke everywhere, and left with hundreds of people beating horses.

Li Lu led the soldiers of the Broken Army to rush into the Zheng Mansion, and under the leadership of the leading party, he found the silver treasury and took the 1.13 million taels of silver collected by the Zheng family over the years as his own.

When the trees fell and scattered, there were really not too many leading parties, the Zheng family had already fallen, and there were too many people who were careful to defect and take refuge.

Just the shipment of these silver coins took the fleet a few days, and the Breaker Army collected all the valuable items in the Zheng family's mansion, and set a fire before leaving, completely turning the Zheng family's mansion into ruins.

Li Lu's move is to warn all the forces in the south, daring to offend the Broken Army is the same end as the Zheng family, and this ruin is the ring of latecomers.

Zhang Gusheng sent ten patrol ships to escort the fleet back to Xiaoliuqiu, and he took dozens of other warships directly to Xiamen Island.

Xiamen Island is now also a base camp of the Zheng family, where nearly 200 warships of the Zheng family's sailors are stationed, led by Zheng Qiuyan, forming a corner with Anping's nest.

Zheng Qiuyan received the order of General Zheng Zhilong, and after learning the news of the fiasco of the coalition forces in Xiaoliuqiu, Zheng Qiuyan was also shocked, this is a huge fleet of nearly 100 Galen warships and hundreds of Zheng family warships, which was destroyed by Zhao Lie's subordinates, and the strong strength of the Breaking Army Navy made Zheng Qiuyan extremely frightened.

Zheng Qiuyan was extremely hesitant at this time, after all, Xiamen Island is a large village of sailors, and how to protect it is a big problem.

In the end, he decided that the enemy fleet was coming, and he didn't go to war, which was also a way out of the way, Xiamen couldn't give up, and the battle was invincible, so there was only one way to go out of the door.

Seven days later, the vigilant sentinel ships came to report that a large number of Ming warships sailed directly to Xiamen Island, including many Galen giant ships, a total of fifty or sixty ships.

When Zheng Qiuyan heard this, she was even more determined to close the door, but there is a premise here, you can't let the enemy get close and bombard it with a giant cannon, otherwise all the warships will be bombarded in Dazhai.

In order to block the approach of the Broken Army Naval Division, Zheng Qiuyan also fought hard, and he ordered more than ten large ships to be sunk on the waterway successively, blocking the shallow position near the shore, the purpose of which was that the Broken Army could not bombard the Naval Division Dazhai within three miles.

Then Zheng Qiuyan hid in the water master Dazhai to concentrate on being his shrinking turtle, and after avoiding this crisis, he opened the channel again, except for this, Zheng Qiuyan had no other way.

Zheng Zhiyan's idea is not wrong, the range of the estimated cannon is also as wide as possible, the range of the twelve-pounder cannon and the nine-pounder cannon is close to the left of two miles, and the three-mile is to take the eighteen-pounder cannon and the twenty-four-pounder cannon into account.

But he didn't know that the Breakers had monster cannons like 36-pounder and 48-pounder cannons, and if he knew, he would know that it was absolutely impossible to close the door, because it was impossible to block the deeper bay extension with sunken ships, so the only way out for the fleet to leave Xiamen Island to avoid the battle.

Zhang Gusheng took the Broken Army Naval Division to Xiamen Zhengjia Naval Division Dazhai to take a look, and found that the shallow waterways were blocked, and the Broken Army warships could no longer enter when they approached more than three miles.

At this time, the strategy of the Zheng family guards in Xiamen was clear, that is, to avoid the battle behind closed doors, so that the army and sailors would return in vain.

However, the distance of more than three miles is like a cannon bombardment to block the captive army, which is still a little shorter.

After Zhang Gusheng found out the plan of this family water master, he couldn't help laughing wildly, it really didn't take any effort to come by, since the master of the Zheng family water master gave such a big gift, he Zhang Gusheng laughed.

Zhang Gusheng immediately ordered the patrol ship to be on guard on the perimeter, and there was no need for it inside, and the Zheng family's sailors blocked the channel, not only preventing the approach of the Broken Army, but also their own sailors and warships.

More than 20 Tang-class Song-class warships surrounded a semi-circular on the outer flank, facing the enemy on the side sides.

The roaring sound of cannons resounded through Xiamen Bay, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the air for miles away.

When the warships of the Broken Army began to prepare for shelling on the side of each other, Zheng Zhiyan was quite disdainful, especially if they were more than three miles away and could hit the Zheng family warships inside the water village, it was really funny.

But after the opponent's cannon rang out, when the water column continued to rise near the warship, Zheng Qiuyan was immediately stunned.

It is really unimaginable how many large-caliber cannons can bombard the Zheng family's warship from such a distance.

The red-hot projectiles of the Broken Army constantly bombarded the Zheng family's warship docked there like a goose in the water village, and as long as it was hit, it was a thick smoke and flames.

Many Zheng sailors were forced to jump from the burning warship to escape, of course, they did not need to be scraped by projectiles in the sea, but there was a better chance of escaping than in the flames of the warship.

After six or seven rounds of bombardment, more than 20 Zheng family warships fell into flames, and some warships were broken and braved small fires.

At this time, the ships of the Broken Army began to turn around, allowing the guns on one side to dissipate heat, and began to bombard with the guns on the other side.

The 36-pound and 48-pound long-barreled guns of the Tang-class and Song-class battleships of the Broken Army were not too many, but there were quite a few warships in the water village, so it was destined to be a long attack process.

However, the Broken Army Sailor is not in a hurry at all, there is some time, anyway, the Zheng Family Sailor has no chance of going to war, what are they anxious about, the Broken Army Sailor slowly turned the bow of the ship in turn, and came again.

Zheng Zhiyan wanted to cry without tears and ordered the sailors to withdraw to the shore, giving up these warships, there is no point in staying on the warship, the warship can't go out, can only wait here to be named one by one, Zheng Zhiyan regretted his decision at this time, that is, he rushed out to fight with the enemy, and he could destroy some enemy warships, which is much better than waiting for death on the dock like this.

The naval division of the Broken Army bombarded unhurriedly for a day, and rested in the evening under the light of the large torches lit at the Xiamen wharf.

The next day, there was still artillery fire in Xiamen Bay, and it was not until almost all the Zheng warships were burned or sunk in the bay that Zhang Gusheng led the fleet out of Xiamen Island unscathed and returned to Xiaoliuqiu.

At this time, the damaged warships of the Xiaoliuqiu army were basically repaired, and since there was no shipyard in Xiaoliuqiu, the repair was now repairing, at least allowing the warships to sail back to Shidao and then repair.

The victorious return of Zhang Gusheng's fleet brought the news of the destruction of Zheng Zhilong's lair and Xiamen Island, and at the same time brought back more than 1.1 million taels of silver.

This news made Zhao Lie breathe a sigh of relief, no matter what, Zheng Zhilong basically had no possibility of turning over.

The main warship was basically wiped out, and the silver treasury was also wiped out, Rao is Zheng Zhilong is a hero, which also hurt his vitality a lot.

It is difficult to restore the status of the earlier position on the coast of Fujian.

But Zhao Lie really didn't dare to underestimate the Ming people at this time, after all, only after experiencing it personally did he know how difficult it was to build a slave, and how difficult it was to deal with.

And Zheng Zhilong, the son of a small official, finally became the overlord of one side, this person can be roughly described as eloquent, given a chance, he will still turn over, what Zhao Lie has to do now is to make it as difficult as possible for him to rise again.

Zhao Lie must solve the problem of the north before he can solve the problem of the south, and the pirate and maritime merchants must solve it on land.

Just like this, Zheng Zhilong retreated into Fujian in defeat, and there was no way to take him, because it was the territory of the Ming governor of Fujian, and it was good to say that the army was on the coast, if the army broke into the interior of Fujian to pursue, this matter would be a big deal, and there was a danger of turning the face with the Ming Dynasty.

For this reason, Zhao Lie told the remaining Zhang Gusheng to expand the cruising area of the Xiaoliuqiu Naval Division, and the fleet of the Zheng family on the coast of Fujian must be sunk without any hesitation, compressing the Zheng family's living space and preventing the Zheng family from becoming bigger again.

Of course, the Zheng family's million taels of silver this time also relieved Zhao Lie's finances, at least all the losses of this southward campaign were recovered.

However, it is also Zhao Lie's most aggrieved time, in the past, except for the battle with Jiannu, the other repeated crusades against the captive army have gained a lot, only this time, that is, barely keeping the capital.

What hurt him the most was the thousands of soldiers lost by the sailors he had built for ten years, which meant that thousands of families would fall into grief, this time the battle losses were more than ever, and the Zheng family's losses to the broken army exceeded those of Jiannu, Zhao Lie wrote down this account in his heart, Zheng Zhilong will be eliminated in the future.

Zhao Lie's campaign was finally over, and this sea battle crushed the biggest threat to the Broken Army Naval Division in the south in one fell swoop, and it can be said that since then, the Broken Army Naval Division has been the overlord of the Far East Sea and has controlled this vast ocean.

Before Zhao Lie set off to go back to Shidao, he solemnly paid respects to the soldiers of the Broken Army and the Naval Division who died and died in Xiaoliuqiu.

The people who sacrificed the banner were a group of captured Dutch, Spaniards, and Portuguese, and their leaders Sanders and Van Penny were all beheaded, and one out of ten captured Xiyi were also beheaded to sacrifice the soldiers who were damaged in battle.

Their heads were taken to the place where the great battle took place and thrown into the sea, so the battlefield was also called the Sea of Razing. (To be continued.) )
