Volume 2 Nanyang Chapter 471 The Battle of Xiamen Bay

Chapter 461: Moon Harbor

Ambush is easy to say, but not so easy to do.

It's a myriad of things.

Wei Dalin needs to determine the information, needs to design the route, and has to contact all the guards, and also keep it secret, although the old man Wei has mastered the whereabouts of the Franc machine's eyeliner, but he is not sure that the Franc machine is on the coast of Daming.

The common people don't care about the righteousness of the nation, as long as they have money to make, what do they do by selling some information, even modern people, let alone ancient people.

And the time is very close, and the Franc engine ship will not stay in the Daming coast for a long time. If supplies are not enough, they will even go back early. So Wei Dalin has to be fast. Very fast.

After Wei Dalin made up his mind, he immediately determined the location, and the place he determined was the sea near Zhangzhou Mansion, which was the area of modern Xiamen, after all, the water situation was complicated, and it was relatively close to Dongyong, and it was also relatively prosperous. If you miss this, if you want to harass a large enough amount of prefectures and counties, you have to go to Guangdong Province.

To be honest, Guangdong is really prosperous in this era near Guangzhou. Other states and counties are also fine.

Therefore, the area around Xiamen was selected by Wei Dalin and Old Man Wei together.

Wei Dalin decided to attack immediately, and more than a hundred warships left Penghu.

After Wei Dalin left Penghu, he hid his whereabouts in a bay in Zhangzhou Prefecture. The Wei family was born in the area of Zhangzhou Mansion, and they really understand the hydrology in this area.

At the same time that Wei Dalin was hiding, the entire Fujian seaside guard was all dispatched. The whole coast was boiling.

Aberkui was very satisfied with the results of his attack, and when he withdrew from Quanzhou, he happened to meet a great Ming sailor. This division of the navy seems to have a lot of ships, but its combat effectiveness is quite poor.

Under Aberqua's blow, he didn't support it for a while, and he was beaten to pieces, if it weren't for the fact that it was too close to the coast, Aberqua would have been able to leave him with no armor.

A big and exciting victory made Aberqui loosen some of the shackles that were suppressed by Dongyong. Aberqua decided to sabotage again before going back.

Let Da Ming know that he is bent on driving the Franc machine out of the South Seas. What an unwise thing to do.

A big war is about to begin.

In order to prevent Dongyong from finding their whereabouts, Aberqua made a large circle in the open sea. Strike again.

Wei Dalin waited for several days.

All the soldiers hid in the boats and could not disembark, although there was enough food and vegetables on the shore, but the people were confined in a narrow space. But it's a little irritating.

Wei Dalin took a deep breath and felt a sense of irritability rising up in his heart. It's almost irrepressible.

"It's been three days." Wei Dalin thought again.

Three days is not a long time. But for Wei Dalin, it seems like three years.

Three days have passed since the Quanzhou fire, and according to Wei Dalin's estimate, the Franc fleet will already carry out the next attack, but the Franc fleet has not.

Only the knife hanging over the head is the most threatening.

Wei Dalin kept wondering if Old Man Wei had made a mistake. Or rather, the Franc fleet will only flick a shot. Their real target is not in Fujian, but in Dongyong.

As soon as Wei Dalin thought about this, his scalp felt a little numb. Because he emptied Penghu's troops.

Compared with Beigang and Dayuan, although Penghu's defense is good, it also has natural shortcomings, which is that Penghu is an island and does not have enough depth.

If the Francophone side spends a lot of money, maybe Penghu really can't resist it.

If because of his own strategic mistakes, let the Franco machine man take advantage of the loophole. Wei Dalin didn't know what to do at all, he was afraid that he would not be able to escape death, and he couldn't even be implicated in his family.

"My lord, there's news. Moon Harbor was attacked. The sound of footsteps rang out, and one came to Wei Dalin's cabin door suddenly.

Wei Dalin stood up abruptly and said, "Yuegang? Good month port. Francophone people are greedy and don't die, they are looking for death. Give the order to go down and set off immediately. ”

"Yes."

Wei Dalin gave an order. Dormant in the bay, the fleet began to move.

Wei Dalin's heart was full of joy at this moment, not because of anything else but Yuegang.

Yuegang and Shuangyu, these two places are very important places in the history of Daming sea trade, although the current Yuegang has reached the most prosperous time, but it is also a very prosperous private port. It is also the most prosperous place in the nearby sea.

Wei Dalin was pleased not with the prosperity of Yuegang, but with the geographical location of Yuegang.

Moon Harbor is deep in Xiamen Bay. Xiamen Bay, on the other hand, is not an open water, and Xiamen Bay is dozens of miles inland, and there are not many sea areas that are enough for the two sides to fight. Needless to say. As long as Wei Dalin's ships are spread out, Xiamen Bay can be blocked.

For Wei Dalin, it was a godsend.

Wei Dalin also conveyed an order for all nearby guards to come to support.

The same raging fire, lit in Moon Harbor.

However, unlike Quanzhou City, Yuegang is also on guard. Sometimes, private action is much quicker than official action.

When the fire in Quanzhou was ignited, the private merchants on the side of Yuegang immediately began to prepare, but Dongyong cleaned up the East China Sea too peacefully, so that these private merchants did not have the heart to add weapons and equipment to their fleet.

The firearms they are equipped with are all Daming firearms, which are simply incomparable with the cutting-edge firearms of the Franc machine.

As soon as the disparity between the warring parties was revealed.

The merchant ship of Moon Harbor was almost shattered by a single blow, and then fell into the familiar rhythm of Aberqua. But this time there is one more step than the last one, and that is looting.

Francophile is not a gentleman in the first place. They came all the way to the East, and it was definitely not because of ideals and justice. but for the silver, for the gold.

Suppressed by the crisis before, they didn't dare to make a mistake. But Yongningwei, who won a battle outside Penghu, won a big victory in Quanzhou, and was easily eliminated.

Such an easy victory made the non-commissioned officers on the Franc aircraft unable to hold back any longer.

They reacted to the top, demanding a piece of the pie. Because they found that the goods they burned during this period of time were enough for everyone to become rich in Europe. Especially knowing. They were about to leave the coast of Daming and return to Malacca.

So this is the last chance, and there will be no such bustling place for them to rob after that.

Even Aberqua, as governor, could not completely resist the opposition of the entire fleet.

Aberqua had no choice but to promise them time to plunder on the shore, and each of them could only carry his own cargo as heavy as his own.

Aberqua looked up and down the ship with joy at his decision. Aberkui watched because of the great increase in enthusiasm, and he became quick to do things one by one. Everyone is like they have been beaten with chicken blood.

But Aberqua had a bad feeling, and he ordered with a straight face: "You must come back in an hour, and if you don't come back, you won't wait for them." ”

No one yet dared to disobey Aberqua's commands.

In this hour, the entire Moon Harbor became a human territory, and the Franc Machine Man seemed to be a beast that opened the floodgates, breaking all the regulations.

Originally, because of the fire, it became a mess in the Moon Port. The sound of screams and fighting resounded between heaven and earth.

Just when the Franc fleet was wreaking havoc in the Moon Harbor, with the Moon Harbor as the center, all the battlefields flew towards the Moon Harbor. Because of the personal presence of General Mu, coupled with the strict orders of Gonggong Luo, what the Franco fleet did was regarded as a public outrage. Therefore, all the people in Fujian were excited and poured into Yuegang.

Aberqua's hunch was right.

It was because of this hour of indulgence that the Franc fleet lost all its life. It's just that now Aberqua doesn't know, he just opens the pocket watch. Take a closer look at the time.

Listening to the ticking sound, it seems to be a rapid voice. How to hear in Aberque's ears, how to hurry. He slammed the table and said, "Let them come back immediately, and we'll get out of here at once." ”

"My lord, it's only been half an hour, hasn't it?"

"Needless to say." Aberqua said, "Get on board now. ”
