When the Zhejiang Provincial Water Division was re-established in the 23rd year of Kangxi, the Admiral of the Water Division had five battalions of pacesetters directly under his jurisdiction, each battalion of 1,000 people, and another member of the left and right road general soldiers, and each road general army standard had jurisdiction over the middle, left, right, and front four battalions, each battalion also had 1,000 people, and the whole division totaled more than 14,000 people. (If you like this book, please collect biquge.info) but the so-called commander-in-chief of the right-lane naval division is actually in command of the land division, and has no actual naval combat capability.

In the twenty-fourth year of Kangxi, the Zheng army conquered Wenzhou, stimulated by this, the Qing court officially handed over the general army of the water division on the right side of the courtyard to the governor of the Zhejiang land division, and changed the town of Wenzhou of the land division to the town of Wenzhou of the water division to prevent the re-landing of the Zheng army in Zhejiang Province. There are two battalions on the left and right under Wenzhou Town, and there are Panshi Naval Division Battalion and Yuhuan Naval Division Battalion, with a total of 4,127 officers and soldiers and 55 warships of various types.

In the 25th year of Kangxi, because of the Zheng army's Zhoushan team's attack on Ninghai and Haimen (note: Shujiangkou), the Navy Division Haimen Association was added, under the jurisdiction of Ninghai Battalion, Haimen, Taiping three battalions, 1,927 officers and soldiers below the deputy general, and 28 ships.

At the beginning of the 26th year of Kangxi's reign, the general army of the Left Road Water Division under the former Admiral of Zhejiang Navy Division was renamed the General Army of Dinghai Town, with three battalions of the center, left and right, with 44 guerrilla, garrison, 1,000 generals, and general officers, 2,841 soldiers, and 42 warships of all kinds. In addition, the town also has the Zhenhai Division Battalion and the Changshi Naval Division Battalion, of which the Zhenhai Marine Division Battalion is stationed in Dinghai, with 1,400 soldiers and more than 20 boats, and the Changshi Naval Division Battalion is stationed in Changguo (note: in Xiangshan is not the main island of Zhoushan) and Shipu, with 570 officers and soldiers and six boats.

In addition to the above-mentioned two towns and one association, the Admiral of Zhejiang Navy Division also directly governs the Qiantang Water Division Battalion, Taihu Lake Water Division Battalion, Zhapu Water Division Battalion and other departments, but Qiantang and other three water division battalions either hold Zhejiang or garrison Taihu Lake, in fact, they did not go south to participate in the battle of attacking Taiwan, so after deducting the battalions left behind, the Zhejiang Provincial Navy Division that followed Liang Nai's cross-sea campaign was actually about 9,500 people, 120 warships, and the rest were civilian ships and merchant ships detained after the boundary closure order, and most of the sailors were unemployed former merchant sailors.

However, although the Zhejiang Naval Division is complete and has rich sailors, judging from the offensive route of the naval divisions of the three provinces, compared with the Fujian and Guangdong naval divisions with Penghu as the relay target, the Zhejiang Provincial Naval Division, which directly attacked the main island of Taiwan, has the longest offensive distance, and the time required to cross the strait is naturally the longest.

The distance is a little farther, and it takes a little more time on the road, but what makes Liang Nai and other Zhejiang Provincial Navy generals unbearable is that since the Haitan attack, the Zheng Army report ship that had been introduced into the Haitan Strait once again appeared around the Qing army ship regiment in the form of maggots attached to the bones, or repeatedly attacked the Qing army in a single boat or in the mode of three or two squads, although the power of the three-inch cannon on the Zheng army report ship was minimal, but like a gadfly repeatedly bitten, the Qing army still had some symptoms of blood loss.

Liang Nai also ordered the battalions on the periphery to counterattack the attack of the Zheng army's notification boats, but the Zheng army did not slip away, and as soon as they saw the counterattacking Qing ships, they immediately took advantage of the flexible maneuvering characteristics of their schooners to slip away, and the Qing army's counterattack not only did not achieve the desired results, but was delayed for a lot of time because of the whole team again.

After three times, Liang Nai also figured out the purpose of Zheng Jun, so he ordered to ignore Zheng Jun's attack and drive straight to Taiwan. However, the unforgiving Zheng army even took the bold move of accompanying the voyage, taking advantage of the defect that the Qing warships did not have broadside gun fire, and fired shotgun, chain and red-hot shells at the Qing army within the effective strike range of the three-inch guns. The Qing warships, which could only be beaten and could not fight back, were either bloodied by shotguns, or were stopped by chain bullets that broke their masts, and even ignited their hulls by red-hot bullets.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Liang Nai had to order all his troops to counterattack, so that the original mistake was repeated, and the Qing army, which needed to cover the inland transport ships, was forced to stop and go, and the speed that was not fast became more and more slow. At the end of the afternoon, just as the Fujian Provincial Naval Division was engaged in an exchange of fire with the main force of the Zheng Army near the middle line of the strait west of Penghu and east of Kinmen, the first Zhejiang Provincial Naval Division had just sailed out of the Xinghua Waterway for only a dozen miles of water, and was still quite far away from its set destination, Tamsui Port.

Just after the first moment, as if receiving a mysterious message, Zheng Jun's attack disappeared without a trace.

Regarding this phenomenon, several staff members speculated: "Junmen, it is estimated that the Fujian and Guangdong Navy Divisions have already fought against Hai Rebellion's brigade, and Hai Reverse may be invincible, so all the plywood boats have been transferred back." ”

"This?" Liang Nai was a little suspicious, but he could not get a reasonable explanation other than that, and the order he received was to attack Tamsui, so he could only ignore the fact that there was also a Zheng army's report ship cruising outside the Qing army's boat regiment, and give the only order he could give. "Anyway, order all ships to speed up to Dongning, as long as the army is ashore, there will be nothing to be done about the sea rebellion."

An hour passed, an hour and a half passed, although from time to time I saw the strangely shaped triangular sail of the Zheng Jun notification ship flashing in the distance, but nothing happened, the original Qing army soldiers began to slow down, and even some of them were bolder and stood on the edge of the ship to inform Zheng Jun that the boat was urinating and demonstrating.

"Damn, the official also said why didn't Hai Reverse fight, it turned out that the ammunition was used up." But the good times didn't last long, and at the end of the Shen period, the Qing army in Zhejiang Province, which had already sailed through the middle line of the strait, was once again attacked by the Zheng army's notification ship, so Liang Nai made a wrong judgment, but at this moment he only rushed to Tamsui in one go. "Order all ships to protect the land division, drive away the sea adversity, hold on for two more hours, and then you will reach Tamsui!"

But Liang Nai didn't have two hours left, and in the middle of the unitary hour, Zheng Jun's announcement ship disappeared again, but this time a forest-like mast appeared on the ocean not far away. Before the Qing army had time to panic, the Zheng army's 3,000 gunboats in groups of six began to grind and cut the tight formation of the Qing army's ships like rotating grinding wheels.

Zheng Jun reported that there were only two or three three-inch guns on the single side of the ship, while the three thousand gunboats of the fast fleet had six to seven three-and-a-half inch guns on the single side, and the dense artillery fire soon made the Zhejiang sailors understand that what they had seen before was just an appetizer.

"Damn, there are so many plywood ships in the sea." Liang Nai, who was lying on the side of the boat and looking at this qiē, felt a chill in his heart, and he suddenly realized that one of the Fujian and Guangdong Naval Divisions must be finished, otherwise Zheng Jun would not have turned his main force to the Zhejiang Naval Division now. "Fu Kui misunderstood me, Fu Kui misunderstood Daqing."

A few cronies on the side still had a hint of clarity, and hurriedly interrupted Liang Nai's grievances: "Junmen, what should I do now." ”

"Let the battalions abandon the land division and ships, and concentrate the fleet to fight against the sea." Liang Nai ordered without hesitation, it's all this time, if the water master is finished, the Lu master can't be saved. "Then give an order to the land division fleet and let them sail directly to Dongning."

Liang Nai's order caused great confusion in the Qing army, some of the naval warships abandoned the troop carriers under the fire of the Zheng army and began to assemble, and some of the transport ships began to go east alone, but there were always people who did not follow Liang Nai's orders, and those merchant sailors who were already frightened were forced by some of the officers and soldiers of the land division to turn around and return to the mainland.

"A bunch of idiots." Liang Nai looked at the Lu Division transport ship that was going from side to west, and scolded coldly, he could completely imagine what would happen to those who turned around and returned to the sea under the pursuit of Zheng Jun's clipper, but now he didn't have time to worry about the situation of these people, even if he had to worry, he would have to wait until he got out of danger. "Pass on the official order, Wumei Array!"

The warships of the Zhejiang Navy Division worked hard to form a five-five formation, and the battle groups formed at intervals were as beautiful as plum blossoms blooming in the sea, but Gong Tian, who was standing on the Big Belly Creek, commented on this: "Idiot! The formation is so good-looking, there is a fart, send flags to sù ships, the Qing army is desperate, you are welcome, no one is left! ”

It is no wonder that in order to hide their strength, Zheng Kezhang once let them cruise in the South Sea, the Western Ocean and the eastern waters of Taiwan.

I saw that the Zheng Jun gunboats shuttling back and forth along the established route were venting their excitement in circles, and the rapid artillery fire was overwhelming, adding a thrilling beauty to the turbulent sea. Even Yan Dao and his group were not satisfied, and went straight to the Qing army in violation of the established policy before the war, and a group of six gunboats fired their bows left and right, like an erupting volcano, bringing fear to the Qing troops who still stubbornly adhered to the tactics of jumping gangs

Just when the fast fleet was wantonly ravaging the warships of the Zhejiang Provincial Naval Division, which were far superior to their own numbers, the notification ships that were robbed of their roles began to force the unprotected Qing army transport ships, of course, they first pursued the part of the opponents who fled eastward, as Liang Nai expected, the short-legged Qing army transport ships could not even outrun their own warships, and how could they outrun the Zheng army notification ships that had increased their speed several times. Zheng Jun informed the ship to leisurely approach the opponent who had no ability to resist at all, and turned it into torches suspended on the surface of the ocean with a small artillery fire.

At the beginning of the battle, Liang Nai, who was a recalcitrant commander of the command, died with the ship in a huge explosion that detonated the gunpowder on the ship. Seeing the Admiral sink on the ship, the remnants of the Qing warships suddenly disappeared and surrendered one after another, and at this time, among the 120 Zhejiang Navy warships that had sunk, 55 had become torches and floated on the sea, 11 were shot and caught fire and were extinguished and then surrendered, 9 were shot but did not catch fire but surrendered, and only 8 escaped to the unknown sea area by taking advantage of the dim sky. As for the transport ships that sailed to Dongning according to the orders of General Liang Nai, they also surrendered one after another under the pursuit of two groups of twelve Zheng Jun fast gunboats assigned by Gong Tian after the overall situation was decided, but all those who did not surrender sank under the Min Sea, and the Min Sea, which had been noisy for most of the day, finally calmed down at this time
