In the vast blue waters of the South China Sea, the roar of artillery is deafening, and the smoke of gunpowder covers the sky and the sea.

The 1st Pacific Fleet succeeded in sinking the flagship of the 2nd Detachment of the Dutch Fleet, which immediately angered the Dutch Navy, and the commander, Rear Admiral Rejouz, immediately ordered the destruction of the fleet at any cost.

Knock knock!

The 1st Detachment of the Dutch Fleet could not care about continuing to outflank it, so it immediately accelerated to the right and bombarded the ships of the 1st Fleet with starboard artillery fire.

Since the gunners of the 1st Sentai were concentrated on the starboard side, the port side guns were extinguished. When the starboard side stormed the second Dutch detachment, the emptiness of the port side was suddenly exposed.

While the first detachment of the Dutch fleet opened heavy fire, the ships quickly closed the distance to the Pacific Fleet.

"Port side! The enemy fleet is approaching! ”

The sentries on the watchtower first blew their whistles to get the attention of the officers below, and then shouted loudly.

Shen Yang heard the words and hurriedly looked to the port side. I saw that the Dutch fleet was approaching rapidly, and the good ability to handle the ship was undoubtedly revealed at this moment.

"Report the distance!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the fire of the Dutch fleet flickering.

"Artillery attack from the left!"

"Circumvent!"

Whoosh!

The cannonballs whistled in an instant, the Pallas trembled violently, and Shi Jianfei and Shen Yangwei were suddenly dodged to the deck. Bang. A shell hit the bow of the ship, shattering the protective wall in an instant, and the broken wood flew out, injuring two bridge sailors, and the violent air wave knocked down several bridge staff officers.

"Port side artillery fire immediately returned fire!" Shi Jianfei got up from the deck, his right hand protecting his head, lowering the brim of his hat, and shouting orders while dodging the flying splinters. Shells fell one after another on his front and back. Broken wood spikes flew everywhere and crackled on his body. Through the thick military uniform, it still hurts.

Thick gunpowder smoke filled the deck, and Shi Jianfei squinted his eyes to observe the enemy ships outside the port side.

By this time, on the gun deck below, the gunners had returned to the port side and immediately returned fire.

Knock knock!

The port side guns of the Pallas returned fire. Shells whistled and fired at the enemy fleet, and the fire of the enemy ships was immediately suppressed.

By this time, the Dutch battleship, which was on the starboard side, had already woken up from the sinking of the flagship and immediately opened heavy fire on the first squadron. However, due to the sinking of the lead ship, the other Dutch warships of the second detachment ceased to operate in a queue. Six of the battleships swooped down in the middle of the first squadron. Trying to cut off the line of battle of the First Sentai team.

"Get ready to make a flower bomb!"

At this time, in order to prevent the Dutch Navy from jumping, it was difficult for solid shells to stop the enemy's movement in a short time, so it was necessary to use flowering shells to deter the enemy.

The order was issued, and the ships of the First Squadron of the Pacific Fleet were ready to be loaded with flowering shells.

At this time, the gunners were basically outboard on the port side. Suppress the approach of the 1st detachment of the Dutch Navy. Due to the fast rate of fire of the Ares gun, it was easy to reload. Therefore, after about five minutes of fierce return fire, the Dutch 1st Squadron was suppressed by fire, and did not open the distance to attack from the new group.

The starboard outboard fire was sharply reduced, and the Dutch 2nd Squadron swarmed in loose formation.

Shi Jianfei looked at the sky, the sun had sunk into the sea, and there was only a trace of afterglow left. At this time. There are not many shells on the cruiser Pallas. It is believed that there are not many shells left from other warships, and it is time to prepare for a breakthrough.

Compared with the Dutch fleet, the Diren team used the Ares gun, which fired quickly, and the consequence was that the consumption of shells and propellant was intense.

"Command" by1 old "old" "old" mouth independent formation of squads. No. as the flagship, breaking through from the northwest. ”

Shi Jianfei divided the first team into two squads, and the two squads formed a zigzag and coordinated with each other to break through. In this way, the battleship did not have to be shelled by Dutch battleships on both sides, and could concentrate on attacking the outboard.

At 7:30, the two squads of the first squadron turned right at the same time, and the main direction of attack was the scattered Dutch second squadron.

Six Dutch ships rushed to the middle, only to be swept apart by the other's sudden separation. Six Dutch warships passed through the middle, and both sides fired fiercely, but because they were staggered in each other's directions, the firing range was affected, and they did not inflict serious damage on the other side.

The second detachment had ten battleships, the first of which was sunk and six in the middle, and was left behind by the Pacific Fleet. Three more battleships were left alone. Two were on the side of the first squad, and the other hit the muzzles of the second squad.

The first detachment, with the Pallas as its flagship, made a sharp right turn and formed a favorable prefix for one of the Dutch ships.

As the distance closer, the Dutch warship realized that something was wrong and immediately turned around. However, it was always within the arc of the six cruisers, and the opportunity could not be lost, and the first squad was breaking through

Knock knock!

The starboard side of the 1st squad opened heavy fire, and after an afternoon of fierce fighting, only 12 guns on the starboard side could fire normally. However, even with only twelve guns, the threat to the Dutch ships was even more severe than before, because this time it was a flowering shell.

The shells whistled in, and all the shells that hit the surface of the sea were drenched in primers from the sea, so that the shells did not explode. Still, one shell landed on the Dutch battleship.

Rumble!

There was a loud bang, and the shells exploded on the deck. In an instant, the violent shock wave suddenly swept the surrounding Dutch sailors away, and the fragments of the shells caused huge lethality, killing five or six sailors on the spot, and many people were directly swept into the sea by the shock wave.

"What the hell is this?" The five cruisers, including the second one, opened fire one after another, and the guns were bursting and the shells were whistling.

Boom Boom!

A series of violent explosions shattered the bow of the ship in an instant, and huge fireballs burst out. Clouds of red and black mushrooms rose into the sky. Then the flames rushed more than ten meters high with the air flow of the explosion, igniting the high sails and cables. In an instant, a violent shock wave enveloped the flames, from beginning to end, from top to bottom, causing the entire battleship to fall into a sea of fire. The Dutch sailors were either killed or wounded, and many of them were on fire, stumbling and crawling, and screaming like heartbreaks. Enemy ship waterline strip. The shell exploded with a bang after penetration. Suddenly, a hole more than three meters wide was torn, and black and red flames and billowing smoke erupted from the hole. The sea poured into it violently. The battleship tilted at a visible speed and sank rapidly.

Another Ahlan warship saw this at this time. Immediately gave up the intention of approaching. Fortunately, the ship did not hit the muzzle of the first detachment and was able to escape.

At the same time, the five ships of the second squad attacked a lone Dutch battleship in a horizontal position, but because of the distance. Most of the shells exploded in the air and did not cause fatal damage to the ship, but the flames from the explosion ignited the sails of the ship, and the fate of the ship was not much better.

The Dutch Third Fleet, which had been following behind, and the First Fleet, which was chasing fiercely on the left, suddenly slowed down their approach when they saw the enemy firing ferocious shells.

Rear Admiral Reyoz was most surprised, because he knew the power of the shells, and immediately ordered the pursuit to be stopped, and watched the Pacific Fleet disappear into the night.

"Damn it!" Rayoz stomped his foot hard and roared, "How can they have blasting shells?" ”

The blaster is a flowering shell invented by the Dutch Army, which in the Third Spanish-Dutch War of Independence finally forced the Spanish Army to abandon the idea of recovering the Netherlands, and led Spain to recognize the independence of the Netherlands.

This kind of thing was also installed in the Dutch Navy, but because of the high cost, the number of equipment was not large. Although he worked for the East India Company, he also belonged to the Dutch Navy and had seen this weapon.

Adjutant Thiel said: "The Admiralty has never exported such shells to any country, and this kind of shells will not be given to the enemy Deng Haonan, so how did they get them?" ”

Rejoz glared at Till, as if to say, "Who are you asking?" Do I know?.

"Report the battle damage now!"

Rejoz left in a rage, leaving Til stunned.

The Dutch fleet attacked a detachment of the inferior Pacific Fleet with superiority, but unexpectedly two cruisers were sunk, one was burned, and a dozen sloops were burned.

Tyll smiled bitterly, originally expecting to be promoted and make a fortune, but now it seems that he can maintain the status quo and burn high incense.

The first team that drove into the night, Shi Jianfei learned that the Dutch fleet did not continue to catch up. Immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

This time it's really dangerous, and I'm almost going to confess here.

"Is the battle damage report out?

Shen Yangwei nodded and said, "Although we didn't lose the battleship this time, we suffered a lot of casualties

Shi Jianfei took it and saw that more than 400 officers and soldiers were killed, more than 1,000 people were injured, and all ships were damaged. The strictest is the Pallas. As the flagship, she is the main target of the opponent's firepower. The battleship was broken with more than eighty holes. Four of the holes are near the waterline zone. There was a lot of seawater poured in. If it weren't for the desperate efforts of the maintenance soldiers to plug the hole with their bodies, the Pallas would have sunk.

The other winter ships were much lighter, but the shells that came out of the ships alone amounted to four hundred.

After Shi Jianfei finished reading it, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. This time it's really shit luck.

But there isn't that much shit luck in the world. Luck is all accumulated on your own. If it weren't for the tactics of the first team, and if it weren't for the psychological deterrence caused by the final use of the flowering shell to the enemy, this level would not have had this kind of luck.

Although he was beaten away by others, he was strategically defeated. Tactically, though, it's still a victory. After all, the other side sank two capital ships, and the own side did not sink in battle.

"Let's go back and write a report! small

Shi Jianfei smiled faintly, no matter what, this operation to test the Dutch fleet was a success.

In the golden autumn of September, the imperial court finally responded to Na Haonan's good news. Di Haonan has made meritorious contributions to Kou Ping's thieves, and he should be rewarded. At the same time, Na Haonan was not held accountable for starting a war against the country and the Netherlands without authorization.

On September 15, the procrastinating imperial court announced that the eunuchs arrived in Jinzhouwei, and at the same time. Na Haonan also returned to the Earl's Mansion of Golden State with his family from Taiwan.

The eunuch Deng Haonan knew that he was the sixth son. Companion Jinyi Wei Na Haonan also knew that it was Tang Jing, the general of the Han Dynasty.

When the two of them saw Di Haonan, they were both stunned. Tang Jing knew that Na Haonan was the brother of the little seventh father-in-law, and he didn't have too many doubts at first. However, Xiao Liuzi didn't know the situation, and recognized Di Haonan as Li Xiaoqi at first sight.

And just when Deng Haonan was also stunned, Tang Jing suddenly realized. Although Na Haonan did not admit that he was Li Xiaoqi, with Tang Jing's cleverness, Deng Haonan knew that he was exposed.

"Bestow the first-class Jinghai Marquis super product, seal 10,000 households, give the title of Protector General, Qin is the governor of the five armies, the governor of the left capital is a product, and he is actually subject to the governor of the three sides, and he is also given a python robe, to, royal power, royal horse, warp silk, porcelain Yun Na Haonan was stunned for a while, and was embarrassed by Xiao Liuzi and Tang Jing's identity was broken before. Now when I hear this reward, I am even more surprised.

What kind of official the court gave to Na Haonan is no longer important to Di Haonan. Because Deng Haonan has gone through the first difficult period. Now he is a local warlord who supports the army and respects himself, and the imperial court does not give soldiers or salaries, and a title cannot impress Deng Haonan at all.

Therefore, Feng Jinghaihou was expected. Such a great achievement is nothing. If you eat and seal 10,000 households, you don't care even more, because Deng Haonan now controls a population of 2.3 million. The general said a little that Deng Haonan was regarded as the pillar and pillar of the country. The left governor of the capital of the five armies has not changed much from the previous right governor. In ancient times, the left and the right were considered a small improvement.

The only thing that made Deng Haonan wonder was this trilateral governor.

Governors and governors of the Ming Dynasty were not permanent positions. It is a position that is temporarily assigned. The Ming Dynasty implemented the "three divisions" at the local level, which meant that permanent positions in charge of the judiciary, administration, and military were set up in a province, but if the province encountered serious problems, several institutions needed to be coordinated. The imperial court temporarily appointed an official to coordinate the relations between the parties, that is, the governor. But if several provinces are involved at the same time, beyond the boundaries of one province, and it is necessary to coordinate the relations between several provinces, the person appointed to coordinate the relationship is called the governor.

Ten years of Hongji. The fire was screened into the Kou, and the governors of Shaanxi, Gansu, Yanjie, and Ningxia were sent to the military affairs. It is the king of the imperial history of the left capital. Fifteen years later, it will be set up or dissolved. Zi Jiajing was established for four years, and was originally called Admiral Military Affairs. Seven years changed to a general system. Nineteen years to avoid the word, changed to the governor, open the mansion to solidify, anti-autumn stationed in Huamachi.

This is because after the northern part of Shaanxi was divided into Yansui, Ningxia and Gansu along the border, each town was ordered to undertake the task of guarding the border within its jurisdiction alone. In order to effectively consolidate the northwest side, the "Governor of Shaanxi Trilateral Military Affairs was established." "Referred to as the trilateral governor, who wields his power, also shows that the strict zhòng of the form shì cannot but have such a establishment.

In the long-term border control activities, the management of the trilateral general system has gradually formed a systematization. The core of this imperial border system is the separation of powers led by the general system of the prime minister, the military minister, and the internal minister, and the military supervision system, the essence of which is to strengthen the military defense capability of the northwest of the Ming Dynasty and improve the effect of the defense of the border by the towns. Strengthen centralization. After the establishment of the trilateral governor, it played a better role in military and civil affairs in the imperial border activities of the northwest frontier of the Ming Dynasty.

That Haonan thought to himself, isn't the current governor of the three sides Yang He? Why did the imperial court depose Yang He. Do you want to change yourself to Shaanxi to suppress bandits?

***！

Di Haonan secretly scolded in his heart, now is the time for the peasants in Shaanxi to revolt and rebel, let himself suppress the people, and his reputation will be stinky.

"Your Excellency, please take the order!"

Tang Jing saw that Di Haonan was stunned, and immediately reminded.

"Thanksgiving!"

After Na Haonan received the order, Tang Jing and Xiao Liuzi hurriedly stepped forward to thank them, and Lin Feng and other subordinates clapped their hands to congratulate, and the atmosphere was warm and joyful for a while.

Na Haonan instructed his subordinates to reward the people who announced the decree one by one, and Xiao Liuzi fought with Deng Haonan. With a look, Mu Haonan was helpless, so he had to ask him to speak alone in the back.

"Seventh brother! I have something to tell you! ”

In the back hall, Deng Haonan saw that Xiao Liuzi was sneaky and knew that he had seen his identity. Unexpectedly, he was about to explain, but he saw Xiao Liuzi hurriedly take out a letter and hand it to Na Haonan.

"This is the emperor's secret decree!"

"Secret purpose? Emperor's? ”

Na Haonan's head was big for a while, and he asked, "Does the emperor know my identity?" ”

Xiao Liuzi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "I know it clearly!" You'll know when you look at it."

Na Haonan was suspicious and opened the secret letter to watch.

I saw a few lines of small characters written in a red pen on the letterhead, the font was very delicate, and there was a faint fragrance.

After Di Haonan read it, he was dumbfounded.

It turned out that the trilateral governor arranged by Zhu Youxiao for him did not want him to replace Yang He, but asked him to lead troops to Shaanxi to suppress bandits, and at the same time, he took the opportunity of going to Beijing to report on his work and lead the troops to serve the king.

It seems that Zhu Youxiao's life is not easy!

Na Haonan sighed in his heart, people outside thought that being the emperor was the happiest, but they didn't know that every family had a scripture that was difficult to read, and the royal family was even more cruel. The outside of the palace walls is luxurious and splendid, but the inside is dark.

"Your Excellency has finished reading it!" Na Haonan nodded.

"Got it?"

Na Haonan nodded again, and Xiao Liuzi said: "The queen said, after the adults read it, immediately destroy the secret decree and act in accordance with the secret decree!" ”

Na Haonan nodded, then realized that something was wrong, immediately shook his head, and hurriedly put away the secret decree.

This thing can't be burned!

That Haonan's mind suddenly turned, if this thing burned, then it would be fine. If he fails, Deng Haonan will become a rebel of the Ming Dynasty, which is not a joke.

Xiao Liuzi saw Deng Haonan put the secret decree into his arms, and immediately said urgently: "My lord, seventh brother, you have embarrassed me!" If only the queen knew. I'm going to lose my head! ”

To be after?

Only then did Hao Nan understand why the handwriting on the letter paper was very delicate, it turned out that it was not Zhu Youxiao's sissy, but the queen's writing.

Since it was written by the queen, then it can't be burned.! Thank you for the valuable monthly tickets and generous rewards cast by friends such as "Bi" Horri, Holy Roman Empire, and Wei Mao! A D
