Chapter Seventy-Five: Revenge

Zhao Lie was very satisfied, seeing that the enemy who had entangled him repeatedly was so miserable, it was really happy, extremely happy, of course he didn't get out of the cabin, if the Dutch people were better and gave him a shot, it would be a wasted effort, Zhao Lie just excitedly and happily used the telescope to watch the embarrassing scene of the sworn enemy.

The white flag was hung on the Dihan first, there was no way, they could not escape, surrender was common in the eyes of the Dutch, either they were extorted for ransom by the victors, or they were plundered into mercenaries, the rules of the sea, everyone obeyed, it was not a big deal.

No ship paid attention to the Dihan, and the Weiqing, Li Guang, and Peng Yue surrounded the Houston at a speed on three sides.

When dozens of cannons were aimed at the Houston within five hundred meters, Wildenck collapsed, and he immediately ordered surrender. Due to the damage of the mainmast, it was the sailors who waved the white flag to signal their surrender. The Dutch who reigned supremacy in the waters of Formosa never imagined that they too would raise the white flag and surrender one day.

At the same time, Huo Qu's sickness, Zhou Yafu, and Chen Tang surrounded the Sluden less than a mile to the left and right, but the Sluden even fired a salvo at Huo Qu's sick at the first time.

At a distance of several hundred meters, most of the shelling hit the target, and the gunwales of the Chen Tang, which had not been damaged at all, were broken in five places, raising dust, and the next moment, the three ships fired a salvo one after another, and the retaliatory artillery fire flooded the Sluden, and the ship's side was broken in more than ten places, the artillery deck was completely destroyed, and the entire ship was hit and swayed, and the sailors inside suffered heavy casualties, and the blood flowed like a river, and the white flag was waved on the ship.

At this point, all three enemy ships raised the white flag.

However, at this time, Zhao Lie did not dare to be careless, the three enemy ships were not disarmed, and it would be great fun if the people who boarded the ship were detained and taken hostage.

The Flying Bird and the Flying Shark went to Hongze Lake to receive a hundred sailors and armor, which were prepared when they came, so that there would be sailors available after plundering the ships on the sea.

When the sailors and armor boarded the Houston, they were not resisted, but the second time, when the Flying Fish and Flying Cats boarded the Sluden, they found that the captain was tied up by the sailors.

The three ships were taken under control one after another, and the remaining 400 men on board were concentrated in the two Dutch merchant ships that had been captured earlier, which were very crowded, but it was good to be alive now, and the rest could not be taken care of.

Zhao Lie ordered all ships to repair their ships, rescue the wounded, and count the seizures.

Zhao Lie looked around at the ships that were slowly moving around, and breathed a sigh of relief, he won, his second naval battle was completely victorious, of course, without his own plagiarized short-barreled guns, this naval battle would never be so smooth, but after all, it was won, from then on, his navy should have the belief that he would dare to win, and the modern navy in the true sense of the Ming Dynasty was formed in his own hands. For a while, Zhao Lie was full of confidence in the future, the sky finally lived up to me, and after several years of adventure, he finally saw the light of day.

Wang Qiang, Qian Er, Zhang Wei and other ten artillery crews were sent to the Houston to clean the artillery deck, when more than 30 people entered the artillery deck, they were immediately stunned by the bloody scene, more than 20 dead Dutch gunners were scattered, and two dying gunners wailed across the deck, and there were black and red blood stains everywhere that had dried up, and it was like a hell of the forehead.

More than half of the gunners vomited, after all, the scene was too bloody and terrifying, but most of the gunners from Liaomin did not have a big reaction, after all, there were too many bloody experiences of life and death, although the scene was indeed terrifying, but they were not too frightened.

Under the command of Captain A, everyone threw the corpses into the sea, and there were still two dying people left, Captain A sent a message, send them to the sea to relieve them, seeing that the injuries are so serious, they are hopeless, and they can only let them return to heaven as soon as possible and suffer less.

After this, the howl on deck calmed down.

A similar scene played out on two other Dutch warships.

Under the leadership of the chief mate and boatswain, the sailors of each ship repaired the masts, sewed up the sails, assembled the holes with the preparation materials, and cleaned up the debris.

It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that everything was more or less done, and the fleet was back to its normal speed and moving forward.

"My lord, the Houston, the Dihan, and the Sluden have all participated in the looting of the coastal areas of Fujian in our Ming Dynasty, killing and wounding hundreds of people in our Ming Dynasty, and in the past few years, they have plundered more than 40 ships of our Ming Dynasty, extorted more than 200,000 taels of ransom, and sold more than 4,000 people to Batavia, but less than 1,000 of them arrived alive." Qi Wei reported the results of the interrogation of the Dutch people over the past two days to Zhao Lie. "In addition, sixty-seven Ming people were found on the Houston, as well as two women who were forced to death by them."

"Hateful, pathetic, pitiful." Zhao Lie was extremely angry.

"You can see why it's hateful, it's a pity, it's pitiful." Zhao Lie asked Li Hu, Qi Wei, and Yu Dabao beside him.

"My lord, my subordinates don't know." The three of them bowed and replied.

"I hate that the Dutch people slaughtered and sold my Ming people as livestock. It's a pity that the Ming Dynasty is extremely incompetent in protecting the people under its rule, and the poor people of the Ming Dynasty are oppressed by corrupt officials and corrupt officials, local tyrants and inferior gentry in the Ming Dynasty, and they go to sea to make a living and are killed by outsiders. Zhao Lie sighed.

"You should put the people of the Ming Dynasty under the rule of adults, you say no." Yu Dabao blurted out heartlessly, looking like he was taking it for granted.

Li Hu and Qi Wei looked at him like fools, who do you think you are, and you dare to squirt like this......

"What are you looking at me doing, am I not right? Look at those Liao people, begging everywhere, not eating or drinking, how is it under the rule of adults, if you want me to say......" Yu Dabao's big mouth still didn't stop, and he didn't know what was going on here.

"I said, big man, okay, this matter is unspeakable. Shut your big mouth. Qi Wei stopped Yu Dabao and stopped his nonsense.

"Alas, there is still a long way to go." Zhao Lie sighed, how easy it is to talk about, his small family background is only a little large-scale, far behind, his small shoulders can't bear it now, low-key development is the king.

Li Hu and Qi Wei understood Zhao Lie's words for the first time, and clearly agreed with Yu Dabao's words, but there is a long way to go.

Only Yu Dabao pursed his lips, secretly attached to his heart, I was not wrong, this literate is more thoughtful, everything has to be hidden, it is not refreshing at all, there are too many twists and turns.

At the end of the next day, on the decks of the two captured Dutch merchant ships, Wildenk and Roden, as well as the captain of the Dihan, Hansay, the first mate of the three ships, the boatswain, and more than 50 Dutch people who had been identified as having killed and treated the Ming people were pressed onto the deck, and at the same time, the Dutch prisoners of war on several other merchant ships were pressed onto the deck.

Dozens of prisoners of war stood on the deck tremblingly, Wildenk, Roden and others were coldly waiting for their fate, no one informed them of anything, however, they felt very bad, yes, since yesterday they began to identify, they understood that the big thing was not good, they had ordered to go ashore to plunder, loot at sea, extort ransom, buy and sell the Ming population, that is a capital crime.

"Ming soldiers, in front of us are the Dutch bandits who have done all kinds of evil, they have robbed countless Ming people for several years, extorted ransom, killed the people, bought and sold the Ming population, insulted the women of the Ming Dynasty, and committed a heinous crime. Today, on behalf of the people of the Ming Dynasty, this official sentenced them to death and executed them immediately. Zhao Lie announced the death warrant on the deck.

Ten gunners stepped forward and escorted the ten Dutch sailors to the side of the board, and with a command, the firecrackers fired, and some of the ten fell into the sea, some were knocked down on the deck, and the gunners stepped forward to push the Dutch sailors on deck into the sea, and at this time, Roden howled like madness.

"What did he say." Zhao Lie asked Muñoz. He knew Dutch language.

"He said you were a demon and that he was going to duel you." Muñoz translated with a complicated mood, the Portuguese also bought and sold the Ming people as servants, and also plundered the Ming merchant ships, and he was also frightened by Zhao Lie's ruthlessness.

Snort, Zhao Lie glanced at Luo Deng with disdain. There are no words.

More than 50 Dutch people were killed in turn.

Only the captain, first mate, and boatswain remained.

One of them, the tall boatswain of the Sluden, also shouted,

"My lord, he said, he controlled the captain to surrender, and he did a great job." Muñoz said.

"Well, this." Zhao Lie really didn't want to let him go, but after all, there were still Portuguese present, "sentenced him to serve on the ship for five years as punishment." ”

The Ming soldiers came up and took this person away.

ps, although the results are pitiful, but the ambition to finish this book has not changed, this is the hard work of the middle of the night, it must be completed, no more slogans, and those who are willing to watch it will experience this era with Zhao Lie.
