Chapter 142: The Evil Wind Comes South

Tomei stood at the bow of the ship, which smashed into the waves like an arrow. His heart was surging for a while.

Since he returned from Yongguo, he has been agitating to attack Yongguo. But the Governor of Malacca was unsure for a while. It was not only the governor of Malacca who was undecided, but even the Portuguese in the upper echelons of Malacca wavered.

Because in any case, Yongguo is their only trading object, and China's goods, except for Yongguo, although there are fragmentary smuggling. It can't compare to such a large-scale trade in Yongguo.

It's just that as the volume of trade between Yongguo and Malacca expanded, more and more Portuguese tended to attack Yongguo. Because Zhu Houhuang was determined to make enough money from this waterway, the asking price for the Portuguese has always been high, and he scraped a layer of oil and water fiercely.

In this way, the Portuguese reached a consensus at the top that they could not let Yongguo die like this and ask for money, and after he returned to Malacca, he finally persuaded everyone to make a plan to attack Yongguo.

But it doesn't mean that you can attack if you attack.

When the Portuguese conquered Malacca, there were only eleven ships and more than 1,000 soldiers. Although the rule in Malacca has been consolidated a lot over the past decade, the Portuguese have always been in a state of lack of troops. Therefore, it will take time for such a big move to draw troops from all over the place.

That's it. A few months after he left Yongguo, he returned again, but this time he did not come with peace, but with war.

"Tomei, will this war bring in the Ming Dynasty?" The person who spoke was the commander of the fleet on this expedition, Francesca.

The question he asked was also the Portuguese man's greatest misgivings about this war.

"Commander, you don't have to think about it." Tomei said: "King Yongguo, although he is the cousin of Emperor Daming, is an independent king after all. The Ming Emperor would not harm his own interests for the sake of a king. ”

Tomei's point is clearly based on the relationship between European countries. to force the relations of the countries of the East. But people only want to hear what they want to hear, so when Tomei talks nonsense, Francesca actually nods, thinking that he has a point.

"And, even if the barbarians are hostile to us, so what. As he spoke, he remembered all the cold reception and insults he had received in Beijing. said: "The Spaniards can conquer a continent, so can we, the Ming people's navy is not the same at all, as long as we have enough fleet, we can definitely break through Beijing." ”

"Tomei." "We're here for trade, and gold is the most important thing, so don't let your feelings get carried away," Francesca said. It is not in our interests to attack the Ming Kingdom. ”

Francesca's words were full of confidence. It seems that the Ming Dynasty is really vulnerable, and the reason why the Ming Dynasty is not destroyed is just to maintain trade, and to eliminate the Ming Dynasty, the goods of Europe cannot be collected. It's not that you can't extinguish the Ming Dynasty.

Tomei took a deep breath and said, "Yes, sir." I understand. Now is not the time to destroy the Ming Kingdom. Tomei didn't want to talk about this topic, and said, "Commander, according to the itinerary, we will soon be near Dongyong." Where are you ready to start attacking.

？ ”

Francesca said: "Of course, it is to bombard all the ports of Yongguo, starting from Penghu. Let King Yong know that we are powerful, and sit down obediently at the negotiating table. Tailor the rules of the sea to our rules. ”

Penghu.

Penghu Port is now more prosperous than ordinary coastal ports, and the ships that stretch for miles on the side of Mazu Port are crowded with boats. There are also merchant ships from various countries, all of which gather here, but the merchant ships of the Francophone are not allowed to dock here.

Suddenly a roar sounded, a ship was hit, and for a while everyone did not react to what was going on.

Recently, one after another the sound of artillery rang out, everyone panicked, and for a while, the crowd that was still bustling became a mess, and countless people swarmed and crowded, screaming, shouting, crying, and crying.

There are also many people who are on board at this time, ready to leave the port.

At this time, ten large ships appeared in their sight.

In fact, these ships have not been discovered just now, but outside Mazu Port, ships have always come and gone. It was not uncommon for some ships to haunt, and it was only after they opened fire that they discovered the strangeness of these ships.

But it's a little too late.

The ships on the port of Mazu want to get out of the trestle. The dozen or so warships did not intercept them, and they stopped outside the dock one after another. Artillery fire after artillery fired deep into the harbor.

Wang Henian, as the commander of Penghu County, also reacted at this time, and with an order, the county soldiers had already left the outside of Penghu County and lined up at the dock.

Before he could form a position, he was hit by several shells.

Although the county soldiers followed Zhu Houhuang on the expedition, after all, they did not go through any battles, and it was impossible to expect them to stand still no matter how many people died under the attack of artillery.

Just a few shells made the military formation a mess.

Wang Henian panicked for a moment and asked, "What should I do?" What to do? ”

"Lord Wang, you can't do this. If they are bombarded by artillery again, they will be routed and fled. "The person who spoke was Li Laoliu, he was a person in the Huangzhuang in Beijing, and he followed Zhu Houhuang from the beginning when he was training in the army, and he was also an old man. It's just that he comes from a humble background. I've always been unconfident.,Usually it seems to be a stuffy gourd.。 Not a word. It's just that at this time, Wang Henian panicked, his face turned pale, and he didn't make any decision at all.

Li Lao Liu, asked several times. I didn't see Wang Henian answering. Gritting his teeth, he made his own decision and ordered a retreat.

The Yongguo military system came from Zhu Houhuang. Heaviest queue. Although for a moment I was stunned by the power of artillery. But under the control of Li Laoliu, he still retreated peacefully. Far from the range of artillery.

The Portuguese ships docked, and hundreds of soldiers disembarked from the ships, armed with different blades, half firearms, half cold weapons.

He also pushed several artillery pieces and killed them in Penghu County.

The county seat of Penghu is newly built, not too big, not far from Mazu Port, but after a while, they will come to the city.

Li Lao Liu stood on the top of the city and said loudly: "Everyone, you are all native to your hometown, if you let these Francophone robbers break through Penghu County, what will happen to your family, hum--"

I don't know who whispered, "What will happen to you?" ”

Li Lao Liu said: "There is a Manchurian country in the south, which was destroyed by the Franco, and the city was wiped out, you think about it, what kind of fate your family will be." ”

Li Lao Liu's eyes rolled and looked at all the soldiers under him, there was a raging fire burning in their eyes, and he secretly said in his heart: "The military heart is available." ”

Standing under the county seat of Penghu, Tomei drew his long sword and swung it down, and several cannons that were pushed over fired one after another. Cannonballs hit the city. The earth was beaten into smoke and dust, and clods of earth, large and small, fell from the top of the city and smashed into powder on the ground.

After several rounds of artillery fire, Tomé waved his hand again, and the Portuguese soldiers rushed forward, and out of nowhere they made a few long ladders, trying to kick the city.

When they came to Penghu City, they heard a sharp whistle. Countless people popped up on the top of the city, and large and small rolling stones and logs fell down, smashing the Portuguese back alive.

Fell into powder.

Someone's face instantly darkened. It's a tough battle
