Chapter 635: Fog Falls from the Sky
The sea is always full of uncertainty, and people who live on the sea need to look at God's face. Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Test Dutch fleet commander Waite was like eating a huge fly at this time, how ugly and ugly his face was, and his favorite ceramic cup had already fallen three.
At this time yesterday, Waite was still full of confidence, and his determination to attack this morning was very strong. However, this fog disrupted Waite's plans, and this feeling of being out of control made Waite's mood very bad. I originally wanted to take the Spaniards by surprise, but it seems that this time there is no hope.
Zheng Zhilong on the side was very comfortable, sitting on his flagship, drinking unhurriedly. The taste of this wine is very good, and what the Dutch have come up with is still good. For attacking Spain, Zheng Zhilong has a good attitude of playing soy sauce, and this fog couldn't be better in his opinion. If you can't let the Spaniards and the Dutch lose both, how can you reap the benefits of the fisherman?
Draining the wine in the glass in one gulp, Zheng Zhihu poured another glass for himself, and drank it again in one gulp, and when he was about to pour it, Zheng Zhilong's voice had already come.
"If you want to drink to the back, don't waste things here! But don't drink too much, you might get into a fight at any point! Zheng Zhilong frowned and looked at his younger brother, and said with a little helplessness on his face.
Although they are compatriots, the personalities of the three brothers are very different, Zheng Zhilong is stable and resourceful. Zheng Zhihu is the opposite, his personality is very hot, and he has an absolute temper that catches fire. The third brother Zheng Zhibao is a very introverted personality, who is silent on weekdays, but his personality is very stubborn. You have your own ideas, and once you recognize something, it's very difficult to change. If it's really ruthless. still has to count the third brother Zheng Zhibao.
put down the cup in his hand in a daze, although Zheng Zhihu's personality is very hot, but he is very afraid of Zheng Zhilong. smiled and came to Zheng Zhilong's side, and flattered: "Big brother." It's not a problem for us to wait here! These Dutchmen don't do it either. The earth-shattering sound of cowhide blowing is really at a critical moment. It's all grass chicken! ”
Gently shaking the wine glass in his hand, Zheng Zhilong said with a smile: "You don't understand this, these Dutchmen are very smart." For them, this is just the opening war. Destroy the Spaniards with minimal casualties, that's what they want. ”
"While you want to cooperate with me, you have to watch out for us, these red-haired ghosts are really stingy!" Zheng Zhihu's face flashed with a touch of mockery and relentlessness, he didn't dare to say this about the Dutch before, but now the powerful fleet has given the Zheng family an arrogant capital.
Listened to Zheng Zhihu's words. Zheng Zhilong frowned slightly, but he did not refute Zheng Zhihu, but said lightly: "This shows that the Dutch are very smart, and we will definitely have a battle with the Dutch." As the saying goes, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers. It's just that we didn't want the Spaniards to pick up the cheap, so we got here together, and this is also our tacit understanding with the Dutch. ”
"Big brother, the Dutch reinforcements are coming, and this time they have sent ten of their own warships, as well as thirty warships they have recruited. These are already the full strength of the Dutch, I don't know how many people they put in Penghu? Zheng Zhibao on the side kept wiping the war knife in his hand, which he had captured from a group of would-be robbers. Ever since he slashed the leader of the Japanese Bandits to death with a single sword, this knife has become Zheng Zhibao's weapon, and he likes to be abnormal on weekdays.
glanced at his third brother in surprise, usually at this time, Zheng Zhibao would not speak. However, for his younger brother's questions, Zheng Zhilong has always answered all questions. has always wanted to train his younger brother to be a good player on his own, Zheng Zhilong naturally will not give up such an opportunity.
Lowering his head and thinking about it, Zheng Zhilong said in a deep voice: "We don't know how many troops the Dutch have increased. However, one thing is clear to us, it was these reinforcements that gave the Dutch enough confidence. At the beginning, they just cowered in Penghu, I wanted to eat them in one bite, and they also understood a little bit here, so they would shrink in Penghu. Now that he dares to come out so blatantly, he naturally has the confidence. ”
"This time, neither of us did our best, firstly, it was unnecessary, and secondly, we were both on guard, beware of each other. If someone's hometown is cleaned at this time, I don't think I'll be surprised. Zheng Zhilong put down the wine glass in his hand, slowly stood up, and looked at the sea in the distance.
This battle is the beginning of the war in the Taiwan Strait and the beginning of determining fate! As for the navy of the Ming Dynasty, whether it was Zheng Zhilong or the Dutch, they probably didn't take it to heart.
The fog slowly cleared, the sun shone on the sea again, and the sea returned to its former tranquility. But it was almost noon, and it was only two or three hours before the tide went down, and the attack had become impossible. The Dutch and Zheng Zhilong were far away on the sea, waiting for the right time to attack tomorrow morning.
The waves are constantly lapping on the ship, and the fleet is moving forward with the wind and waves, which is the Ming Dynasty navy forgotten by the Dutch and Zheng Zhilong. Or not forgetting, but not looking down on it from the bottom of my heart. It's just that they don't think that it is this fleet that none of them have taken to heart that will give them a lesson that they will never forget, a lesson baptized with blood.
Standing at the bow of the ship in military uniform, the big red cloak was blown by the sea breeze, Qi Jin pressed his right hand to fight, with an unconcealable excitement on his face. The salty smell of the sea seemed to change Qi Jin's sense of smell, and he seemed to smell a strong smell of blood from inside.
Yu Shigao, who was also dressed in military uniform, gently put away the binoculars in his hand, and the beard on his face kept swaying with the sea breeze.
"The two generals are so interested!" Nan Juyi, who was dressed in a bright red official uniform, walked up from behind and said with a big smile. As a civil official, Nan Juyi does not get seasick, but enjoys this feeling.
"Nan-sama, it's windy on this sea, so leave the matter here to us!" Qi Jin looked at Nan Juyi with a wry smile, with a little helplessness on his face, who would have thought that Nan Juyi would follow.
Glancing at Qi Jin, Nan Juyi didn't seem to see Qi Jin's face, and still said with a smile: "General Qi still seems to be dissatisfied with the official's approach!" But this kind of big battle doesn't want to be missed. Besides, it is a rare thing for a civilian official to be able to obtain military merits. The two generals are both close ministers of the Son of Heaven, so they must not care about Nan's meritorious deeds! ”
Qi Jin didn't expect this Nanda to be so direct, and he didn't hide his intentions at all. hugged his fist at Nan Juyi, and said with a smile: "Nan Daren is really a gentleman, Qi admires it." ”
"General Qi praised it falsely, how can a gentleman compete with others for merit, Nan is already a villain!" Nan Juyi smiled bitterly and shook his head, this opportunity is too important to him, and he can't take care of some flaws.
"Nanda's words are wrong, this time the emperor has a will, Nanda is responsible for the war in the Taiwan Strait. Nanda can come to the battle in person, which shows that Nanda is responsible, and the emperor will understand that Nanda will serve the country with his fists. Yu Zhigao turned his head, looked at Nan Juyi with a smile, and said sincerely.
Things are already like this, and you can't send Nan Juyi back, so let's make a good impression on each other! Everyone is in the officialdom, maybe who is helping whom! Because of his father, Yu Zhigao is a lot more sleek.
"All three of them are here! In that case, I don't have to go to you! A person walked up from behind, wearing a five-grade official uniform, it was Shi Zhang Yukun, the marching commander.
This person is the younger brother of Yu Zhigao's father, Yu Dayou, who studied under the contemporary military master Zhao Benxue, and is especially good at naval warfare. Because he did not participate in the imperial examination, and he had no credit, he was arranged by the Emperor of the Apocalypse to such a position.
"Uncle Shi, are you here?" As soon as Yu Zhigao saw Zhang Yukun, a smile suddenly appeared on his face. But in terms of generation, this is Yu Zhigao's uncle. In terms of ability, this uncle is afraid that he will have to throw Yu Shi Gao a few streets.
At present, the Ming navy has more than 60 warships, including 40 combat ships and 10 troop carriers. There are also supply ships and other warships, which can be said to be very complete. These things can be said to be in Zhang Yukun's hands. Whether it is the formation of the fleet, or the commander of the battle, even if it is the flag language, he is very well studied.
Compared with Qi Jin and Yu Zhigao, Zhang Yukun is more like the soul of this fleet. Shen Yourong, who was originally promoted by the Emperor of the Apocalypse, failed to hold out until this time after all, and died in his hometown three months ago.
"It turned out to be Lord Zhang, I wonder if Lord Zhang has drawn up a strategy?" Regarding Zhang Yukun's existence, Nan Juyi only knew about it when he got on the boat. After learning about the situation, Nan Juyi didn't dare to underestimate Zhang Yukun at all, and he was also an equal friend in his speech, and he didn't have any official arrogance at all.
"Nanda is polite, the lower officials are only shallow in learning, and they still need to be mentioned more by Nanda." Regarding Nan Juyi's compliment, Zhang Yukun did not accept all the orders, after all, he had already set foot in the officialdom, and many things still had to be done in accordance with the rules of officialdom.
Yu Zhigao on the side seemed to be unable to wait, handed Nan Juyi an apologetic look, and asked, "Uncle Shi, if you have any ideas, just say it quickly!" We're going to Penghu soon, you have to come up with a strategy! ”
Nodding, Zhang Yukun said with a smile: "This is natural, although naval warfare is about strong ships and artillery, it also has to be disciplined." As the so-called soldiers are fast, we went straight to Penghu this time and caught the Dutch off guard. One thing to pay attention to is that we can't leak news along the way, even when we attacked Penghu, we also sent warships to blockade it, so as not to leak the news as much as possible, you must know that we are not just fighting a Dutchman! ”
The three people on one side all nodded, this is natural, something that must be paid attention to.
