Beijing's holy decree was sent to Fuzhou, and Prince Kang Jieshu immediately urgently summoned Liang Nai, the admiral of the Zhejiang Navy, to discuss the matter, because the premise of the three-way attack was no longer changeable, so the Admiral of the Navymen of the three provinces could only discuss when to use troops. biquge.info During this period, Wan Zhengse and Liang Nai advocated the use of the north wind, while Fu Kui, who was on the southernmost line, advocated the use of the south wind, but Fu Kui was weak, and finally the three provinces agreed to attack Dongning in October of the 27th year of Kangxi.

After the Fuzhou military conference, the Qing army began a large-scale mobilization, more than 100,000 Guangdong and Zhejiang Qing troops entered Fujian by land and water, and for a time the war was close at hand.

"The fast fleet has been completely reloaded, and there are currently twenty-four fast sailing gunboats of three thousand materials, and eight small notification ships; At present, the main fleet also has four 4,000 (240 tons) iron gunboats, three 5,000 (300 tons) iron gunboats, one 6,000 (360 tons) and 7,000 (420 tons) iron warships, and four small notification ships. Lin Sheng reported like a few treasures. In addition, it is expected that before June this year, the main fleet will add a new 8,000 material (480) iron bone warship, and various shipyards in Dongning can also provide the main fleet with another 3,000 material fast sail gunboats, nine thousand-material fast sail gunboats, and three thousand-material class notification ships. ”

"That is to say, in addition to the notification ships, the two fleets of this domain have a total of forty-three plywood gunboats of various classes, and there are more than ten new ships whose combat effectiveness is still in doubt." Zheng Kezhang looked at Lin Sheng's descending water masters. "With this weak army to deal with the three provinces of Qingyu, Zhu Qinger and the others can be confident of a victory?"

"The ministers have confidence." Lin Sheng hadn't replied yet, but the young military attachés of Ma Ying and Gong Tian and the two major sailors responded with a bow. "The ministers will not live up to the trust of the Lord, and the enemies who will be invaded will be gathered and annihilated on the Fujian Sea."

Zheng Kezhang asked unmoved: "It's a good thing to have confidence, but is there a specific rule?" ”

"The minister thought that the Qing army would attack in three directions, and its orders would inevitably be different, and the speed of the march would inevitably be fast and slow, and the feudal clan could use the speed of the soft sail plywood to meet them one by one." Ma Ying responded loudly, with the formation of the main fleet, he handed over the position of Admiral of the Fast Fleet that he had just served, and regained control of the strongest water force of the Zheng army. "Although the Qing warship is equipped with a bow gun, its combat method is still mainly based on jumping gangs, and the artillery carried is only used to disperse the enemy's army, and its power cannot be compared with the side guns of the warships of this domain.

"If it is said that there is a gap of hundreds of miles between the Zhejiang Provincial Naval Division and the Fujian and Guangdong Naval Division, there may be a disconnect that can be attacked one after another, but it is recognized that Tongshan and the enemy of Nanao are adjacent to each other, and the two sides attack at the same time, and there may not be a difference." Zheng Kezhang was still picky. "Expecting the Qing armies of the two provinces not to aid each other is not a reason for the soldiers to win."

"Lord, the Senate has considered the possibility of the Qing army in the two provinces either reinforcing each other or forming a regiment." Lin Sheng seized the opportunity to speak. "But as long as the fleet does not give the Qing army the opportunity to jump into the gang, the victory in this battle will definitely belong to this domain."

"Lone recognizes the so-called wolf tactics of the fast fleet, but what if there is too much delay on the southern front and the Zhejiang Provincial Navy Division goes straight to Dongning?" Zheng Kezhang actually had a long idea of the outcome of the naval battle, which is why he didn't expose the true strength of Zheng Jun's naval division prematurely, in order to kill with one blow, but Kangxi's division of troops in order to solve subordinate disputes caught him a little off guard, and even exposed the fundamental problem of insufficient strength of Zheng's naval division. "Is there any way to solve it?"

"The Senate has drawn up two strategies." Lin Sheng reported. "One is to suspend the relocation of the Lukang team." Half of the Lukang team originally planned to go north to Seogwipo, but now that life and death are at stake, the construction of the Seogwipo Governorate and the Ezo Land Governor's Office can only be put on hold for the time being. "Second, by June, the ministers will inform the two fleets of the two domains that there will be as many as fifteen ships, and there is no need for such a number to monitor Tongshan, Nanao, and other places, and nine to ten ships can be dispatched to delay them."

Zheng Kezang narrowed his eyes, but after a long time, he changed his words: "Ten new gunboats will be added before June, how can their combat power be guaranteed?" ”

"In accordance with the Lord's will that men would rather wait for the guns than for the guns, the ministers have long since carried out rotational training for the officers and men of the two fleets, the fast and the main fleet, and the officers and men of all units, whether or not they have assigned ships, have become proficient in the techniques of using ships and guns, so as long as they are familiar with the new ships for more than ten days, they can meet the battle at sea."

After listening to Gong Tian's words, Zheng Kezang nodded: "Very good, but we still need to step up the training and joint training in the last days before the war, so that we are not too flustered in wartime, and we don't listen to the principle of sweating more in peacetime and less blood in wartime." ”

The courtiers nodded one after another, and at this time, Zheng Kezhang asked again: "What if Qionghai introduced the big ship of the Franc machine man in the first battle of the Qing Dynasty, what if he regains his old wisdom?" Is there any preparation for the Senate and the fleet? ”

"The Senjun Yuan thought that only Franc Jiyi and Holland Hongyi could help the Qing capture now, but the previous time Franc Jiyi suffered a big loss, and this time it may be impossible to take a fire for the Qing court, as for Hongyi," Lin Sheng paused. "After the 6,000 and 7,000 gunboats of this domain entered service, they already have the ability to directly confront Hongyi's single ship, plus the 8,000 gunboats that are about to be launched, although it is not a sure victory, it is enough to curb Hongyi's blind movement."

Zheng Kezhang shook his head, this is pinning his hopes on the premise that the Dutch will not make a big mistake, it is really a bit of a fluke, but Ming Zheng's strength is indeed a little difficult to fight against the Dutch, and Lin Sheng and they are helpless to judge it like this.

"It looks like we still need to build more big ships." Zheng Kezang sighed softly, and the faces of everyone under Lin Sheng's water division were flushed, so Zheng Kezang didn't go any further, but just proposed a plan of his own. "Isn't it too passive to wait for the Qing army to attack, and can this domain also strike first?"

The Portuguese ship Clarke, which was captured by Zheng Jun off the coast of Hoi An, was dragged into Cam Ranh Bay and then ran aground on the beach. Finally, after the repair of the two gunboats was completed, the Cam Ranh Bay Shipyard began to tow Clark back to Inner Australia for repairs, but the news of its loss in Cam Ranh had already spread.

In March 1688, in the 42nd year of the Ming Dynasty and the 27th year of the Kangxi Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, the Portuguese side put pressure on the Quang Nam Nguyen lord to retrieve the ship and release the survivors on board. Quang Nam, who had been able to confront Bac Ha Zheng with the support of the Portuguese, did not dare to slack off, and the newly succeeded sixth Quang Nam monarch, Hong Quoc Duke Nguyen Phuc Qin, ordered King Binh Thong to hand over the above-mentioned ships and personnel. The edict was transferred from Bintong Longren to Cai Tong, and Cai Tong immediately and categorically refused.

"You have to think about what the consequences of angering the imperial court will be." The Quang Nam envoys were intimidated. "As soon as the imperial army arrives, there will be no jade and stones, and when the time comes, it will be no longer necessary to blame the official for being unpredictable."

"This clan can take this ship from the hands of the Franco, and the great martial arts are not comparable to those of other small states." Cai Tong responded. "If you are not afraid of death, even if you come, there are only 800 defenders here in this domain, and we will see how many soldiers and horses we can fill in."

At this time, although the Bintong Dragon King tried his best to get rid of the rule of Guangnan, he was fledgling, and he did not dare to turn his face with Guangnan immediately, so he had to send someone to dredge Cai Tong. In view of the fact that his fleet had all withdrawn to Dongning, and that the lone army of Cam Ranh could not be sure of victory, he proposed to return the construction of Clark's ship with 5,000 women of Quang Nam age.

When the mention of yì came to Hue, the Portuguese merchant house was naturally willing to do it, but Nguyen Phuc Qin, who was posthumously reviled as the righteous lord and Anglo Sect in the future, felt that he had lost the face of the suzerain and categorically rejected it. Nguyen Phuc Yen then sent 3,000 men to attack Cam Ranh with the general Nguyen Yen under the command of the general, intending to teach Ming Zheng a lesson for his unruliness and recapture the Clark ship.

When the news came out, Cai Tong ordered Chen Shangchuan, Yang Yandi, and Yan Jiu to be transferred to the guard, but only Chen Shangchuan sent a team of 100 people into Jinlan, and Yang Yandi and Yan Jiu both did not send troops under the pretext that the local area was not quiet. As for the Bintong Dragon King, he sent troops to block the passage between Jinlan and Bintonglong, cutting off the delivery of grain to the Zheng army. At this point, Cai Tong fell into a situation of fighting alone.

On the third day of April, when the Quang Nam army entered the Cam Ranh area, Nguyen Yan, armed with war elephants, artillery, and arquebuses, boasted that he would win against the Zheng army, which was less than one-third of his own, so he connived at his subordinates to plunder the people of Cam Ranh. However, Cai Thong had already implemented the tactics of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness, and transported all the tun households to Cambink Island outside the port to live temporarily, and the Nguyen army, who could not plunder, could only set fire to the houses and the shipyard and salt works outside Cam Ranh Fort to vent their anger.

On the fifth day of the fourth month, Nguyen Yan commanded the rested Nguyen army to attack Cam Ranh Fort, but as a result, it attacked three times in a row, suffering heavy casualties, and had to retreat to the camp.

The next day, the Ruan army attacked Cam Ranh Fort again, but it was again hit on the head and bleeding, and Ruan Yan saw that the army's heart was turbulent and the fighting spirit was reduced, so he had to withdraw his troops again. Just as the Ruan army collected its troops and returned to the camp, the Zheng army ambushed and killed the Ruan army in one fell swoop. The Ruan army was defeated, and fled all the way to Quang Nam and returned, the Zheng army was unforgiving, covering up and killing all the way, the corpses of the Ruan army were all over the field, and the misery was unspeakable, and even the general Ruan Yan fell into the mud pond in the pursuit of the Zheng army.

Cai Tong's victory alarmed Bin Tong Long, Yang Yandi, and Yan Jiu, and in addition to competing with Cai Tong to surrender their sincerity, Bin Tong Long Wang Po Zheng (PoSot) also took the opportunity to announce that he would no longer recognize the suzerainty of Quang Nam.

On the first day of the fifth month, Chen Shangchuan, Yang Yandi, and Yan Jiu came to Cam Ranh Fort to hand over the manuscript to Cai Tong, the representative of the Ming and Zheng regimes, officially declaring their allegiance to the Ming and Zheng regimes, and accepting the post of general soldier granted by Cai Tong on behalf of Zheng Kezang.

The defeated Nguyen Phuc Thom naturally refused to give up, but the Portuguese advised him to retaliate after the results of the main crusade of the three Qing provinces came out, and Nguyen Phuc Qin wisely accepted, so this small conflict ended abruptly after an abrupt start
