In early August, a typhoon swept over the edge of Dongning, and the high winds forced all ships to stay in the relative safety of the harbor early. (The fastest update speed is in Aishang Novel Network biquge.info) finally survived until the typhoon was far away, and before the wind and waves at sea completely calmed down, the dog fighting team that couldn't hold back couldn't wait to set off and start a new season of hunting voyages.

Today's dog-fighting team has a total of more than 10 warships of more than 2,000 materials such as the Feitian, in addition to two knights and Ruishi two rapid reconnaissance and notification ships of 600 materials, although the strength is still not comparable with the Netherlands, Spain and other old maritime powers, but with the sharp weapon of the blazing bomb, the lone Galen also has the strength to fight, therefore, the purpose of Gong Tian's voyage this time is also very clear, that is, to intercept the Portuguese merchant ships that evade sea taxes.

Unfortunately, because of the typhoon, the dog-fighting team did not know whether the Portuguese had ventured past their control area, so Gong Tian, Chen Yi and others made a decision to sail south to the line of Wanshan Islands to wait for the rabbit.

It must be said that this resolution is extremely bold, you must know that this place is close to the sea off Macao, in case the Portuguese are out of the nest, it is doubtful whether the young Zheng army sailors can withstand the strong maritime force of the old colonists, even if they succeed in intercepting and defeating the Franco, if they alarm the Qing army in Guangdong, it will also have a very adverse impact on Ming and Zheng.

But the adventure paid off, and on the morning of 6 August, the Rees, cruising east of the Dangan Islands, first spotted the armed Portuguese merchant ships, and an hour later the artillery fire from both sides began.

Although the Portuguese had far more gunfire on the port than any of the dog-fighting ships, the heavy draft and slower speed of the ships led to a classic naval battle of hyenas and bulls.

"It's on fire." Because the tonnage of the Knight and the Ruishi are too small and the number of guns is too small, they can only be used outside the war zone to cheer their comrades, but the two ships in a circle are always paying attention to the situation on the main battlefield. "The Flying Tiger is on fire." I can't help but say that the old colonists still have a background, not long after the battle, a raging fire ignited on the flying tiger that took the lead. "Okay, the Flying Rhino broke one of the backmasts of the Franc Man!"

The lookout post with a telescope overlooking the battle loudly broadcast the battle situation, and the momentary defeat and victory tugged at the heartstrings of the officers and men on the Knight like a roller coaster: "Oops, there was an explosion on the side of the Flying Eagle, well, the ship of the Franc is also on fire." ”

"Straight lady thief, just heard the sound, when will we be able to play."

"Don't worry, we have a chance to play," the ship's lieutenant was frowning at the sailor who had just spoken. "Wait a minute, the commander must have an order for us to help salvage the brother who fell into the water."

"Isn't that the job of the auxiliaries?" The sailors who spoke may have been prisoners of the Qing army, so they were still one auxiliary army and one regular army, and obviously their concepts had not changed. "We are also eight-foot men, and there is nothing missing below, why can we only be auxiliaries, no military merits, no future"

"Shut up!" Although he became the captain of the ship, Du Hu, who couldn't see a battle of this scale, was angered by these words, and immediately shouted. "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person."

The sailor was silent, but the first mate on the side gently comforted him, and then listened to the lookout and continued to report: "Oops! The foremast of the Flying Lightning was interrupted, and the ship's speed dropped dramatically, which was going to be grabbed and beaten by the Franc machine, damn it, no, long live! Long live the Flying Lightning! The owner's mast of the Franc machine was also broken, and the Franc engine ship could not escape. ”

The cheers instantly resounded on the Knight, once there was no speed in the era of sail warships, there was only one way to die, and sure enough, after another half a moment, the Franc machine that thought it was powerless to escape raised the white flag symbolizing surrender, and the sail on the only remaining foremast also lowered.

"The banner of the Flying Heavens." The lookout whistle shouted. "Let the knight and the Sharp come closer, no, two ships and one ship."

"Drive over!" Du Hu immediately ordered, and as soon as the helmsman hit the rudder, the knight flew straight to the main battlefield. "Flag the Flying Sky, this ship has received an order, please instruct the Ruishi to continue cruising on the periphery."

"Du Hu, this bastard!" He Qi, the captain of the Ruishi on the other side of the battlefield, naturally couldn't see the banner of the Knight, but the subsequent order of the Feitian disappointed him. "Run fast," he said, so much so that he took his anger out on the crew, who had brought in the old and the new. "You fools, you can't even fuck the boat, the battle exploits in hand just fly like this, I'm really angry with Lao Tzu, go back and don't practice to kill you, what words Lao Tzu writes upside down"

Not to mention He Qi's scolding here, Du Hu over there had already sailed into the war zone, and the sailors on the knight who entered the war zone realized the cruelty of the war, nothing else, the broken planks, the sails full of bullet holes, the floating corpses everywhere and the blood oozing from the decks of each ship

"You're a member of the Lord?" Looking at Du Hu and the others who climbed up from the rope ladder, the captain of the Franc Machine, who had been urgently bandaged with a broken hand, had a miserable face with excessive blood loss. "Understood, it's because you didn't pay the damn sea tax." The Portuguese captain said reluctantly. "I hope that me and my crew will be treated accordingly, and I hope that my ship will be redeemed"

"To enjoy these treatments, you must first obey our orders." Du Hu interrupted him without getting bored, his Cantonese was not good, but it was enough to make the other party understand what he meant. "Now, order your men to surrender their weapons at once and leave the ship in batches, we will take over this ship completely"

"After counting, there are sixty-seven sailors on board this Madame Rose." The number of sailors was obviously not enough to control all of the ship's guns, which was one of the reasons why the doggers were able to win. "Twenty-seven of them were killed in the artillery battle, and twenty were slightly or seriously wounded, and it is estimated that a considerable number of them will not survive this evening." Looking at the Madame Rose under repair through the porthole, Gong Tian introduced it to the captains lightly. "A total of 40,000 taels of gold, silver, 20,000 catties of red copper, 1,000 barrels of sulfur, fans, swords, lacquerware, screens and other goods were seized on the ship, and the value of the goods such as fans, swords, lacquerware, and screens was incalculable.

Speaking of all the items, the most valuable thing is actually this 550-ton commercial Galen, it is the first Galen that Ming Zheng has obtained so far, whether it is repaired for the dog-fighting team's own use or handed over to the shipyard to imitate, it has immeasurable value, so Gong Tiancai gave priority to repairing it regardless of several other damaged ships.

"The harvest is not small, but our losses are also very large, the captain of the Flying Eagle Xie Bao Xie Zhaoxin was martyred, in addition to the second mate on the Flying Eagle, the pipe ship of the Flying Tiger and other forty-seven soldiers were killed in battle, and the number of wounded was also one or twenty, of which I don't know how many can survive, comparing the losses of both sides, it can be said that we are a miserable victory this time, no, in fact, it is a failure."

Gong Tian's words made the captains look miserable, although the horse leather shroud was a soldier's vendetta, but watching their peers die in battle, there was still an indescribable sadness welling up in their hearts, but what made them even more humiliating was that the battle loss ratio of the two sides was actually inverted, which made their victory a little dull.

"There is a reason why there are many cannons and high levels of cannons." Gong Tian talked eloquently, the post-war summary was Zheng Kezang's request, and he did it with the captains today, and he had to report to Zheng Kezhang again when he went back. "But I paid attention, our ten boats, from the beginning to the end, back and forth twice, from port to starboard, and from starboard to port, each gun fired at least three more salvos, but why didn't they sink the other side? Don't tell me it's the reason why the backbone is being sucked away. Gong Tian's voice echoed in the ears of the captains. It's been more than half a year since we reorganized, and the additional gunners have also been trained for more than half a year" Gong Tian shook his head, he didn't need a heavy hammer to ring the gong, and he didn't have to say some things anymore. "So the ships will continue to train intensively, if not, we will also have to pay a terrible price next time, or even more."

While the victorious dog-fighting team was still floating on the sea, a wedding was quietly being held in Shuntianfu, and the fiancée who had already tasted the forbidden fruit finally came together justifiably. Due to the sensitive identity of one of the newcomers, there were no Ming Zheng officials other than close relatives. However, the wedding was not shabby, especially Zheng Kezang crowned Zheng Keshuang as Yongding Bo and gave Wang Tian Baijia an edict to add a lot of color to the wedding.

"Qin She, there is a saying, Uncle Twenty-Nine, I still have to sue you." At the banquet to entertain relatives and friends, Zheng Bin quietly came to live with Zheng Keshuang. "Baoguan and Zhenguan have been born, and your position is already very embarrassing, so the Lord wants to send you out of Anping City, but you must not be jealous because of this." It is wrong that the daughter married the Shen family, and the Shen family married Zheng Keshuang, otherwise Zheng Bin would never have said this. "Not only can you not be jealous, but it is best not to ask about everything, or to do learning or ask for help, otherwise Min Qingbo and they will be your example."

"Please rest assured, Uncle Twenty-Nine, I know how to do it." Zheng Keshuang responded lightly, with such a strong brother, it is naturally impossible for him to have political ambitions, but it does not mean that he is a dull person. "After today, Andingbo's Mansion will be closed, and I won't see anyone."

"That's right," Zheng Bin nodded with satisfaction. "The Shen family's dowry is a lot, and the lord has a field, plus the earl's silver every year, which is enough for you to live, but Uncle Rong Twenty-nine has one more word, and a few women are enough, and if the lord doesn't say anything, there must be a pimple in his heart."

"What does Uncle Twenty-Nine mean?"

"No, that's not what it means," Zheng Bin seemed to guess what Zheng Keshuang was thinking, and hurriedly shook his head. "Now that there are more men and fewer women in Taiwan, the Lord has a headache for this, so you should share the worries of the Lord."

Zheng Keshuang suddenly realized: "Thank you Uncle Twenty-Nine for mentioning it, I know"
