Chapter 12: It's All Yellow Sparrows
Chapter 12 is all yellow finches
The naval battle on Cao Bianjiao's side ended quickly.
Twelve armed merchant ships were successfully attacked by him without preparation, and directly blew nine into the bottom of the sea, leaving two floating on the sea with black smoke, and one relatively intact was incorporated into the Four Seas Fleet.
"Let's go! Let's go back and see how the pirates progress."
There was no time to rest, and Cao Bianjiao would only sail towards the sea area preset by the pirates.
Even so, the struggle between more than fifty pirate Blackfish ships and twelve Dutch Station battleships continued. Cao Bianjiao and Bai Daohui raised their binoculars from afar.
The pirates' Blackfish ships were numbered, less than a dozen remained, and all that remained were wood and wreckage floating on the sea. And there were still four Dutch battleships fighting. The remaining Blackfish ships could not run away if they wanted to, so they could only continue to attack the Dutch battleships.
Bai Daohui put down the telescope in his hand and said to Cao Bianjiao:
"From this point of view, gang jumping is still beneficial to our configuration."
Cao Bianjiao nodded, if he didn't have his own gunpowder and grenades, it is estimated that the Buddha and they would go to see the Dragon King now.
"The artillery battle is much more powerful than we thought. You see, even the fifteen eighteen-pounder cannons on their ship are completely useless. In the face of this kind of karak galleon, there is little to fight back."
"I doubt it." Cao Bianjiao raised the telescope again and carefully observed the battlefield.
"If there really is a schooner with 80 cannons and 100 cannons as His Majesty the Emperor said, there will be no ship in the waters of the Ming Dynasty that can be opposed. We're just going to be beaten."
"So, we can't let them go. Spread the flag, we're ready to go!"
"However, this time we are going to have a direct turn against the Dutch East India Company." Bai Daohui said.
"Do what I say, what illusions can you have now? Don't miss the time again, tell everyone, don't underestimate the enemy, all twelve warships are on board, and I will leave all the main force of the Dutch here."
The Buddha, who was already dying, lay weakly on the deck of his Blackfish ship, watching the twelve warships of the Four Seas Fleet rush towards the last four Dutchman's Karak battleships without hesitation.
"I still underestimate others." He lay there and muttered.
The Karak battleship had no intention of leaving, and even from outside range, his guns began to roar. It seems to vent his dissatisfaction with the Four Seas Fleet taking advantage of the danger.
Not to be outdone, the Four Seas also dragged white smoke from the rockets, and flew straight towards the Karak battleship.
The two ships passed by each other in a tentative fire on each other, and just as the ships were facing each other, they opened fire fiercely. Then, the Karak battleship, which had come around in a circle, slammed directly into the Four Seas. And the Four Seas also collided directly with it.
With a screeching, creaking crash, the horns of the two ships slammed into each other's decks.
At this time, the Dutchman, who was about to jump with a scimitar, was subjected to a one-sided slaughter with rifles and grenades.
"Leave the gunner! Leave the gunner!"
Cao Bianjiao shouted while rushing up with everyone.
Not even waiting to return to the port of Malacca for repairs, the Four Seas Fleet, which completely annihilated the main force of the Dutch, successfully infiltrated the old port of Sumatra controlled by the Dutch with two tattered armed merchant ships.
It also has to be said that they were lucky.
At this time, the Chinese in the Old Port were rebelling.
They originally thought that they would become the main force in the siege, but they did not expect to become long-range shooters for the Chinese rebellion.
When he thought of this, Cao Bianjiao's memories were long enough. But it still didn't prevent him from continuing to reminisce about the process of meeting with the major families here.
The first person he saw was Ke Yinzhi in the fourth room.
If you want to be filial piety, this sentence is really not wrong. Ke Yinzhi, who is dressed in filial piety, is not only very beautiful, but also very smart. It was quickly confirmed
Cao Bianjiao is his own ally. After attacking the inner city set up by the Dutch, she also went to the dock to express her gratitude as soon as possible.
At this time, Cao Bianjiao immediately discovered several young people around this girl who were eyeing her like a little rooster, as well as the girl's dodging without a trace.
The girl was dressed in filial piety clothes, and she was just about to open her mouth to invite Cao Bianjiao into the city together. Dafang Elder Jin Quanquan gasped and hurried over.
"Good niece, didn't you say that you will do it together in several rooms, why did you do it yourself."
Cao Bianjiao saw a trace of dissatisfaction and contempt in the girl's eyes. Then I heard the girl say neither humbly nor arrogantly:
"The opportunity is fleeting, and I am also impulsive, but fortunately, with the help of Brother Jin, it can be regarded as my Chinese revenge. It made Elder Jin worried. Fortunately, there is the care of the shopkeeper Cao of the Four Seas Trading Company, and a few gunboats are also of great help."
"We are all a family, what do we say about big houses, three rooms, my sister's business is my business." It seems that this is the son of Elder Jin, standing next to his father at this time, looking like a pig brother.
Elder Jin didn't care about his drooling son at this time, but said with a smile like a bodhisattva:
"It's rare, your four rooms are the best at trade here, your father, my good brother can still leave you this helper, it's really a blessing for our four rooms."
"The Old Port is what we want." Cao Bianjiao will not let people be guns.
"I don't think this port is of much use to those of you who don't have warships. So from today onwards, this port will be renamed Four Seaports, is there a problem?"
Bai Daohui next to him was accustomed to observing words and feelings, and when he saw Cao Bianjiao say this, he directly took out his flare gun.
"Peng, Peng, Peng......"
Three green signal frays were fired into the sky.
"Boom, boom, boom,"
Still in the outer harbor, the seven warships that were visible to the naked eye responded with naval guns one by one. Then they drove in to the port.
"In any case, I still thank Mr. Cao for lending a helping hand for the sake of the same text and sect, and when the city is stable another day, Yinzhi will naturally give the share that the four seas deserve. There are also a lot of water, food, and craftsmen in the city. If the gentleman is in need, just tell Yinzhi. But if Yinzhi can help, there is no need to deny it."
"The Han people in the world are a family, the girl is polite, we will be neighbors in the future, and we can say anything."
In terms of verbal battles, Cao Bianjiao has not lost anyone.
"Arrange for the receiving battery, and the guns on several armed merchant ships will be transported as soon as possible."
"After saying three miles, I will set up a guard post according to the distance of three miles."
"All civilian and merchant ships were cleared out, and flags were issued before entering the port after review."
It's been a year and a half, I don't know if it's yes or no, it's wrong, but I finally have a place of my own.
"Are we really not going into the city?"
"No, at least not now." Cao Bianjiao said very clearly.
More than ten days have passed in the blink of an eye, and the Han people here have begun to fire at the indigenous and remaining Dutch at the same time.
"The inner city, Liku, and the four directions, have you figured out the terrain of these three places?"
"There's no problem with the inner city, it's not repaired after they took it, and it's still open near the port and on the side of Chicken Coop Mountain. Liku and the Quartet have passed with us and those who don't harvest at night. Now the forest is not easy to walk, and there are six supply points left along the way."
"Good!"
Cao Bianjiao also knew that everything he could did had already been done.
From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to have a conflict with these Han people, 100,000 people, what a precious power he occupied in Nanyang. I can only slowly figure it out.
