Chapter 464: Aberqua's Expedition

Fifteen huge ships departed from Malacca.

This is all the warships that Aberquer can mobilize after he has transferred the defense of Malacca.

Under Aberquay's command, the first stop around the peninsula is Kuching.

In Kuching, it is still closed

This was expected by Aberquay, when the main force of the Yongjun Naval Division was in Kuching. Zhu Houhuang avoided fighting, not to mention that the main force of the Yongjun army had left Kuching, so Zhu Houhuang would not go out to fight and seek death.

Aberquay did not storm Kuching again either.

Even if he can land around the island, he may not be able to defeat the Yongjun land division, especially in the first battle of Star City, he prudently stopped all land battle plans, not because he can't win, but because he can't fight.

He felt that the same Franc Aircraft Army Division might not lose if it fought against the Yongjun Army. But the casualties were simply unbearable.

Aberqua made a circle outside Kuching. He looked coldly at the shore and just walked around outside Kuching. He continued north, and he came here to demonstrate.

Zhu Houhuang saw this clearly, clenched his hand tightly, and then let go.

He regretted it a little.

But now it's useless to regret it.

This communication is not as developed as it is now, and Zhu Houhuang still makes a move, that is, he has no regrets. Even if Zhu Houhuang wanted to return, he would transfer all the ships back. It takes too much time, at least a month or so. By that time, the daylilies were cold.

Zhu Houhuang didn't even want to make a move.

"Your Highness, rest assured." Wang Yangming said: "The minister has already made arrangements. ”

Zhu Houhuang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What arrangements does Master Wang have?" He has a lot of trust in Wang Yangming. The more he came into contact with the ancients, the more he felt that these characters who could leave their names in history were not simple characters.

Wang Yangming said: "The minister has left a letter to Yu Dayou, letting Wei Dalin take charge of all the remaining sailors in Dongyong, and will transfer the Ryukyu sailors to the south, and send a letter to the three provinces of Guangdong, Fujian, and Zhejiang, asking for assistance in jointly helping to suppress the pirates. And has been written to the Son of Heaven, the minister estimates that at this time the holy decree has come down, with the help of the three provincial sailors, even if the Francophile goes north, it should be in vain. So Your Highness doesn't have to worry, I hope Your Highness can think twice in the future. Do what you can. ”

Zhu Houhuang consciously broke out in a cold sweat. Said: "The disciple is taught. ”

If it weren't for Wang Yangming talking about it, Zhu Houhuang felt that he would have forgotten Wei Dalin.

In terms of naval battles, as well as in the relationship with the governments of Fujian and Guangdong, Wei Dalin was much stronger than his younger brother Wei Ruizhou. It was only because Wei Ruizhou first took refuge in Dongyong and Zhu Houhuang rewarded him for his meritorious deeds that Wei Ruizhou was promoted. Looking at Wei Ruizhou's mediocre performance, you can know this.

There are a lot of ships left in Dongyong, but there are very few warships, but in the past year, Dongyong has cast quite a lot of Francophone cannons, so there are cannons in many merchant ships and civilian ships, but the combat effectiveness is not comparable to the warships. However, it is also a fighting force. The sailors of the Ming Dynasty are scattered among the various guards along the coast, and if there is a single guard, it is not as good as the sailors of Dongyong, but if they are united, it will be an extremely large force.

Aberkui felt that he could surround Wei to save Zhao, and he could attack him and save him. But the Ming Dynasty is definitely not a country that can be conquered with a few warships.

Zhu Houhuang was a little uneasy in his heart, he had always wanted to control the pirates outside the Ming Dynasty, and he didn't want the people along the Ming coast to suffer such a disaster as the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that he never thought that this incident was because he brought it to the coastal people.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Houhuang felt bad in his heart.

"Alright, Your Highness." Wang Yangming said: "If Your Highness wants to end this situation as soon as possible. Just continue with your previous plan. ”

Zhu Houhuang's original plan was to make the Franc Mechanic and sailor exhausted because of the attack on the trade routes in various places, and then attack Malacca by land. But I never expected Aberqua to be so resolute.

It's just that in the current situation, you can only do it, you hit yours, I hit mine. Zhu Houhuang immediately found a way to recall the sailor who went out.

Then wait for the Francophile to go a little further north, and then set off to Lingyamen.

However, while Zhu Houhuang was waiting here.

Cebu is facing a catastrophe.

Not every port has the impregnable defenses of Kuching, at least not the Port of Cebu. The Port of Cebu is located as a natural harbor.

The Francophone fleet came here and did not hesitate to bombard Cebu with artillery. Cebu was completely defenseless, and countless artillery pieces smashed on the ships parked on the docks.

The ships were parked on the docks, unguarded, but in a few moments, they were sunk in the sea one by one.

Fortunately, the draft on the pier is not very deep, a few ships are sunk, and a few are only exposed masts.

Seeing that Cebu was completely defenseless, Aberkui was not polite at all, and immediately sent someone ashore to set a fire, and the raging fire instantly set the dock on fire.

Cebu was originally a port that Dongyong operated for a very short time. It was only in Wei Ruizhou's plan to become Dongyong, so there were only some Chinese-style buildings outside Cebu Port. The rest are indigenous thatched huts. As soon as it touches the spark, it ignites instantly.

The indigenous houses have no planning, let alone any arson measures. The fire spread, and when I looked over the ship, I saw a huge fire that almost turned the entire sky red.

Such a fire is almost impossible to rescue. Wei Ruizhou's business in Cebu was burned by this fire, but fortunately, Cebu is not an important place for the Dongyong system. There are also not many personnel. However, there are more injuries to the local indigenous people.

Because of the fire in Aberquay, the largest indigenous tribe on Cebu Island was greatly damaged by this fire, so the indigenous strength of Cebu Island declined rapidly, so that Cebu quickly turned into Dongyongfu County in the future. It is also the same as today's fire, not without reason.

Of course, that's a story for later.

Seeing such a cruel beauty, Aberqua felt a lot of evil in his heart, but when he thought that the Spice Islands was completely out of contact with the shipping lane, and he didn't save them, the fate of these people can be imagined.

Aberqua's heart once again swelled with a desire to destroy, and he felt that he had not burned enough, killed enough. He immediately ordered: "Pack up, and we'll continue north." ”

He wants to burn this flame of revenge throughout the entire Dongyong, the entire Ming Dynasty.

The situation in Cebu quickly spread throughout the South Seas.

The sea is vast, how can the dozen or so ships of the Franco machine completely block the news, and the entire Dongyong system is full of rumors. Wei Dalin took office, and the first thing he did when he took office was to gather all the ships, put together those with combat effectiveness, and put together those without combat effectiveness.

At this time, Wei Dalin understood the essence of Dongyong.

Zhu Houhuang treats warships strictly and wants to make every warship excellent. But Xu Song didn't pay much attention to merchant ships. It can be said that there are only ships that can sail, and Xu Song is the one who comes. It is not necessary to just run a small boat that can only run near the sea. There were large ships, one or two hundred, plus enough artillery, although each of them had a few guns for piracy and self-defense. But quantity begets quality.

Wei Dalin felt that with the capital in his hands, the alliance with the three sailors was enough to defeat the Franco. Just as Wei Dalin was in full swing of preparations, Aberkui also went north from Luzon.

The defense of the port of Luzon was much stronger than that of Cebu, and the terrain also limited the attack on the port. Aberqua saw that he was invulnerable, but outside the port of Luzon, he fired a few cannons in order to cause Dongyong's panic.

Then Aberqua went north again, and this time their target was Penghu.

As the gateway to Dongyong, Penghu is also the trade center of the entire East China Sea. It was Dongyong who couldn't give up the point at all. There is definitely a collision in Penghu, and this collision will directly lead to the safety of the southeast sea. The three provincial sailors and Wei Dalin united and waited for the arrival of Aberkui in the sea off Penghu.

A big war, on the verge of breaking out. At this time, it was as if the entire sea was depressed.
