Chapter 827: The Battle of Dongyong

In the autumn of the sixth year of Jiajing.

It's getting cold.

Although the weather on the southeast coast is different from that in the north, there is a sense of wet cold, and the coldness penetrates deep into the bone marrow, and it seems that the whole person is stuck in the icy mist.

And at this time, it was the time when Xu Hai was preparing to cross the sea to fight.

Xu Hai was not sure about this battle, so he prepared cautiously and cautiously, until after the summer and autumn seasons passed, to avoid the time when the storm was frequent, he dared to cross the sea, hundreds of large and small ships, all gathered in Wenzhou. Always ready to cross the sea.

There is also a reason why the gathering place for crossing the sea is placed in Wenzhou.

Fujian is unreliable.

The news of the secret business between Fujian and Dongyong has already spread, but Yang Yiqing didn't catch the handle, so he had to give up. But he didn't dare to put such an important matter as crossing the sea on the border of Fujian, so he settled it in Wenzhou.

Another reason is that Wenzhou has suffered several wars, and even once the Japanese invaders also approached the army outside Wenzhou.

Although it is not a single straw left behind, it will take several years to recover, and all the armies will blockade the port so that there can be more secrecy.

At this moment, the three armies are ready, large and small ships are all ready, and many civilian ships have been requisitioned. Xu Hai respectfully saluted Mazu's tablet, he closed his eyes and said in his mouth: "Mazu is in the mountain, please bless this battle flag to win." Then he pressed his sword and said sharply: "Let's go." ”

Xu Hai has been managing the sailors of Zhejiang and Fujian provinces for a long time, and he has his own prestige. At his command.

Ships of all sizes sailed out of the harbor and lined up on the sea towards the North Harbor.

With such a big movement, it is impossible for Dongyong not to know, and it is even difficult for the people not to know, just between the departure of the fleet, the rumor that the imperial court is going to attack Dongyong has long been spread. And the envoy came to Dongyong one step ahead of the war.

Wang Zhi looked at this envoy and didn't say anything, but invisibly. But it made this envoy feel as if he was hanging his head with a sharp blade.

Wang Zhi has been in Malacca for many years, and there have never been fewer people who have died in his hands, so naturally there is a fierce killing intent, which suppresses this person and is out of breath. came here to convey the will of the imperial court, but he was just a small official, and even before he came, he knew that he didn't know if he would be able to go back alive.

"That's what you're here for?"

The envoy said, "Yes." He held up a bright yellow scroll in both hands, which was the Holy Decree. He had already announced the decree, but he was extremely embarrassed, because when the decree was read, no one knelt down, and as a result, after the decree was read, no one answered the decree and hung him here.

"Do you think that just by virtue of this holy decree, we can give up the land of Dongyong?" Wang Zhi said.

Zhu Houhuang held several meetings on the attack of the Ming Dynasty and finally made a decision.

According to the previous strategy, the outside is loose and the inside is tight, pretending not to know that there is such a thing.

But preparations were made in several ways, first of all, the issue of Dongyong's defense.

Wang Zhi suddenly became the governor of Dongyong, controlled the two mansions of Dongyong, and even gave a Privy Council judge the title of a magistrate, so that he could prepare for the expansion of Dongyong's army. and controlled the Dongyong Water Division, and Huang Shilong was under him. Of course, there are preparations in other aspects, such as Yu Dayou's preparation to establish a city in Coconut City, Zheng Sui's transfer to Annan Minister, and so on, I won't go into details here.

"The little one is just a messenger. Please spare the small ones. The messenger could no longer bear the pressure and fell to his knees and begged for mercy.

There are two contents in this holy decree, the first is to abolish the throne of King Yong, degrade King Yong as a concubine, lock him into Beijing, and second, order officials at all levels in Dongyong to obey the leadership of Yang Yiqing.

Wang Zhi understands very well that it is just an excuse. It's just a pretext for war.

"My lord, there is news from the front, Wenzhou has left the port." Wu Yongzhi said.

As a famous second-generation official, a relative of the emperor, even if he doesn't want to, there are many ways to accumulate credit for him. Like now. He is now one of the Dongyong embroidery commissioners, who is responsible for handing over to Wang Zhi. Build a network for him in the future.

Wang Zhi sneered and said, "Take it down." He didn't have the time to say anything more to this man. Wang Zhi said to Huang Shilong: "General Huang, the battle here will be handed over to you." ”

Huang Shilong said: "According to the planned battle, it is General Zheng. ”

Wang Zhi said: "Okay, let's wait for General Zheng's good news." ”

The other person that General Zheng doesn't talk about is Zheng Shen.

For this role in the first battle, Zheng Shen is actually very dissatisfied. Without him, this battle will not be won.

The strategic plan has already been issued from the Privy Council, which is to let Shen Xiyi enter the island and annihilate the elite of the southeast of the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop. So Zheng Shen, who was the first to fight, was just a harassing character, after all, the Dongyong Sailor was here, and it was easy for Xu Hai to cross the sea so easily, so Zheng Shen's task was to act and make others believe that he had passed the interception of the Dongyong Sailor, not the other way around.

Zheng Shen is helpless about this.

Huang Shilong had Dongyong's main battleship under his command, and the firepower was fierce, and the firepower of a battleship was more than twice that of an ordinary Fu ship. If he shows up, this play won't be able to continue. And Wei Dalin, who is sitting in Nagasaki, is also a famous character. When he fought with Franco, he was also famous, and Zheng Shen was born as a pirate and had no record of success, which is just right for this acting role.

No matter how Zheng Shen doesn't have a reason, he can only obey his fate.

At this moment, Zheng Shen is at sea, and there are more than a dozen warships behind his ship, all of which are lucky ships. It is also a local garrison fleet, and the hundreds of warships pressed by Daming Hei are too far behind, but Zheng Shen is not afraid at all. More than a dozen warships rushed into the Ming fleet.

The fleet of the Ming army is the kind of very traditional Ming traditional sailors.

The big ships and the small boats have their own duties, but the firepower is weak, I don't know how much. After all, to arm these hundreds of warships, large and small, at least more than 10,000 Franc cannons and thousands of large tributes are needed. Not to mention that under Shen Xiyi's attention, Shen Xiyi's department is also equipped with quite a lot of artillery, where can Yang Yiqing get so many artillery pieces past them?

Artillery, it's not that it's useful, it's there. Even it takes time to build.

Dongyong has an iron mold casting method, with nearly ten years of accumulation, there are nearly 10,000 Franc cannons of all sizes, nearly 1,000 copper cannons, even so, the artillery of the Yongjun army is never enough. The financial and material resources of the Ming Dynasty are above those of Dongyong, but the financial and material resources that the Ming court can use may not be above those of Dongyong, at least the silver that Yang Yiqing spent on the army may not be as much as the silver that Zhu Houhuang spent on the Yongjun.

The Ming army ate empty salaries, drifted, discounted, and so on, so that the same one million taels, Zhu Houhuang spent it, and there was an effect of one million taels, but Yang Yiqing spent it, and it only had the effect of 700,000 taels or 800,000 taels.

And the Daming Water Master is even more under the efforts of the embroidered guards, and he can't hide any news, Zheng Shen knows their equipment well. So he is not afraid at all, the only thing he is worried about is that if he is too ruthless, the imperial court sailor will not be able to bear this result.

"Boom." Zheng Shen's subordinates are all elites, and many old people are left behind by Zheng Shen's father, nothing else, they are familiar with naval warfare. Zheng Shen fought very bravely, his ship rushed to the front, and it looked like it was about to crash into the Daming Naval Division, and suddenly the battle turned, and all the side guns were exposed at once, aimed at the opponent, and countless shells shot out in an instant.

It's a preemptive.

The artillery covered the front and back, left, left and right, and a few shells also hit the ship.

It seems that in the tradition of the Yongjun Naval Division, the main general of the Yongjun Naval Division has always been the most powerful battleship, and they have always charged forward and never retreated.

Xu Hai's ship is the opposite of the Yongjun naval division. His ship was in the middle of the fleet. Surrounded by a lot. Xu Hai's ship is the largest warship of the Ming army, not much different from Zheng Shen's ship, and it is a lucky ship of the same specification. And the other ships of the Ming Army Naval Division are one size smaller than this ship.

Xu Hai raised the clairvoyant mirror to look over, but saw that they seemed to be a fierce tiger, sweeping next to the sheep, and there would be a flock of sheep to see blood. ()
