554 Historical coincidences?

Fortunately, Pang Yu has also been trained at this time, and he is not as straightforward as he was when he first landed, and he offended people for no reason. After several years of training, he can already flip through some less important texts and materials, and on the other hand, he has a sentence to talk to Najie,

The little girl who came to complain was idling: "...... yes, there are so many rats here. Jianyì, you should consider raising a cat, I raised one myself, or I just captured Qiongzhou Mansion, and I lived in the granary of Fucheng for a while, and there are more rats in the granary, and I can run over my face when I sleep at night......"

“…… Eh, indeed, it's quite annoying to raise a lazy cat, and my yellow skin is too lazy to die. If you really want to be troublesome about raising a cat, I can lend you the yellow skin for a few days, no, it doesn't catch mice, even if it's hungry, but it can still call twice, scare and scare the rats. ”

“…… You don't have to wait to get off work to hug it.,It's it that wanders outside the cafeteria every day at noon to eat.,When the time comes, just take a bone and take it away directly.,There's no need to return it.,When there's nothing good to eat over there.,It'll run back by itself.。 ”

After chatting with the bored woman for an hour and a half, he finally let the petitioners leave satisfied, while Pang Yu casually put a record paper next to him, and added a stroke to the word "Zheng", the word "Zheng" was about to fill up three, and he didn't expect to deal with more than a dozen such chores in just a few days, so that Pang Yu could hardly do his business during the day.

, "It seems that Lao Xie is not a good ...... for this head."

Pang Yu now feels a little understanding, that old guy who seems to be idle all day long and does not do his job is not easy to deal with these messy and trivial chores, and straighten out the various relationships in this small group.

In mid-June, a sailboat flying the flag of the Zheng family docked at Weihai New Port, but it was Zheng Zhihu, the second grandfather of the Zheng family, who got off the boat, was anxious to see the brother and uncle, and after hearing that the seat was not there, he found Pang Yu's head again.

As soon as they met, Zheng Zhihu fell to his knees and shouted at the same time: "Pang Junbei, avenge my brother!" ”

"What?" ”

Rao is Pang Yu has always been calm and self-controlled, and he couldn't help but be taken aback by Zheng Zhihu's loud voice and excited attitude. And Zheng Zhihu's next cry made him even more dumbfounded, and his mind turned over and over for a while, only what the old professor Li Mingyuan once talked about, but most people thought it was just a joke: a historical inertia!

In the real history, in 1633, in the current June and July months, the Dutch East India Company, in order to monopolize the trade rights of the "China" country, forbade the Spaniards and the Grape people to intervene in the trade with the "China" country, mobilized eleven large warships and united with some local pirates of the "China" country, and launched a series of attacks against the Zheng family and the Ming Dynasty navy.

In the early days of the war, the Dutch relied on advanced cannon weapons, fast warships with excellent performance, and adopted preemptive attack methods to raid many ports along the coast of China. The most successful of these was the raid on Xiamen, the Zheng family's hometown, on July 12, in which they completely took the Zheng family by surprise and destroyed all the ships that the Zheng family and the Ming Empire had left to anchor and repair in the harbor, causing them heavy losses.

However, when Ming Ting and the Zheng family reacted, after all, the family foundation was thick. Zheng Zhilong threw a large amount of money to gather the Jianghu brothers and pull out all his forces with the intention of retaliating, while the local officials of Fujian fully cooperated with the dispatch of troops from all over the country, and after more than three months of fighting, finally in October 1633, the Dutch fleet was blocked at Liaoluo Bay in Kinmen and a great battle was waged against it.

In this battle, the Ming army gave full play to and made use of the flexible maneuverability of small arsoning ships, and destroyed or captured more than ten main warships of the nose army in one fell swoop.

And this is also the original goal of the Qiong Navy, when they first began to form a navy on Hainan Island, they took the Zheng Zhilong forces after 1633 as their goal, and they only wanted to cross the sea like the Zheng family, and they could ensure the safety of Hainan Island, and they were satisfied.

However, after the development of these years, today's Qiong Navy is all-conquering, and it has already been countless times stronger than the Zheng family in history, and the Dutch have long been driven out of the island of Taiwan, and in recent years, there is no ship flying the "VOC" flag of the Dutch East India Company on the East Asian sea, and in the minds of the traversers, the Dutch are already a thing of the past, and 1633, which originally left a strong mark in the history of the East Asian naval war, has been calm. It's not worth mentioning, even Pang Yu, who has always been the most cautious and cautious, thinks so.

It's just that they didn't expect that Zheng Zhihu's sudden appearance today completely broke their self-confidence.

The Dutch returned, and, exactly like the ones in history, they attacked Xiamen. According to Zheng Zhihu, the Dutchman's warships, no more, no less, exactly eleven!

"Damn, how is this possible!" ”

At this time, Pang Yu's heart was full of absurdity, the East Asian Dutch had lost most of their sea power in the previous offensive and defensive battle of Qiongzhou, and then lost the island of Taiwan, so it can be said that they were driven out of the East Asian seas with their bare butts. Even if they were able to get their hands on the ships later, they would have been drawn from the Batavia headquarters, or even from Europe. How can this number be more or less the same as in history or eleven?

Not to mention, the Dutch even dared to start a war? At this time in history, in Southeast Asia, there was no Qiong Navy that beat them up, and the Dutch's dozen or so Früt galleons that only belonged to the small tonnage class in Europe were already extremely powerful in front of the naval forces of East Asian countries, so they dared to rampage with strong ships and cannons.

But at this time, there is Qiong Hai in Southeast Asia, even if they beat the Zheng family down, what can they do? Do you still expect to live peacefully with the Qiong Navy after overthrowing the Zheng family? If the two sides hadn't been in contact before, there was still some possibility, but now that they've been fought, those people in the East India Company won't be so sentimental, right?

While listening to Zheng Zhihu crying about how their Xiamen Port was suddenly attacked, Pang Yu kept echoing these questions in his mind, but his face always showed a dazed expression of attaching great importance to the other party's words, and comforted the other party from time to time.

However, it is the ability he has just learned to deal with petitioners many times in the past few days.

After listening to it for a while, they also really sympathized with the bad luck that the Zheng family encountered this time, and their loss was even greater than that time in history. In the end, the Zheng family was burned ten ships, and the Ming army was burned five, several of which were cannon ships built by the Zheng family in the shape of Western ships, but compared with the forty or fifty gunboats pulled out by Zheng Zhilong during the final battle of Luowan Sea, the loss of ten ships did not break his muscles and bones.

But this time, due to the suppression of the Qiong Navy, the Zheng family today is not as unscrupulous and free to develop as in history, and can only operate in the ocean around Northeast Asia. Moreover, after sharing the island of Taiwan with the Qiong Navy, they put a large part of their energy and financial resources on the immigration and development of new territories, and their investment in maritime power naturally decreased.

The scope of activity has decreased, and Xiamen Port is the main base of the Zheng family, and the concentration of Zheng family ships in it has naturally increased greatly. And more importantly, also under the influence of the Joan navy, the Zheng family's concept of galleons is far from being comparable in history, and the Western ships they mainly came into contact with at that time were the Dutch, so they naturally thought that this type of ship was the largest and best. But now, in an environment where the Qiong Navy can be seen at both ends in three days, and the thousand-ton ships such as the "Princess" and the "Governor" are showing off their might in front of them, how can the Zheng family simulate the Dutch ship that was defeated by the Qiong Navy?

Zheng Zhilong has been silent in the past few years, but he has been quietly collecting information about the big ships of the Qiong Navy, and when the information is almost collected, he began to imitate it, and this one is still two, and the shipyard is located in Xiamen Port.

Although Qiong Haijun has some understanding of this, he doesn't care much about what the Zheng family can imitate is only the shape and scale, and there are many things in it, especially the modern and modified parts, which are difficult for them to place. However, in the eyes of the Zheng family, this is already an unprecedented progress. After investing a lot of money and manpower, seeing that the two galleons were gradually taking shape, Zheng Zhihu was extremely excited, and his eldest brother had already agreed to give him one after the ship was built.

However, this hope was shattered in the night attack more than ten days earlier, and the Dutch ship rushed into the harbor, and after burning and sinking all the ships anchored in the harbor, it turned its evil eyes on the shipyard. They originally planned to snatch the two big ships, but when they found that the ships were not finished and could not be launched, they changed their strategy and directly set fire to the two galleons that were about to be completed......

That night, in addition to these two semi-finished ships, the Zheng family also sank and burned more than 20 large ships of various types, almost half of the total number of sea ships currently owned by the Zheng family.

That's a lot of loss.
