The main heavy guns were loaded on the gun deck of the Galen ship, which could fire through the gun holes on the side of the gunhouse.

The versatile galleons can also be easily converted into commercial and military sailboats, and for this reason, most commercial galleons are usually armed with several Hongyi cannons or heavy guns.

Wang Qia did not understand military affairs, let alone the performance of the Dutch Galen ship and the Ming Dynasty's Fu ship.

Although Hong Chengchou, the general of the Hunhe Army, Qin Minping, Qin Ling, and Zhao Hannian, the generals of the Hunhe Army, urged them not to fight.

And said many reasons, but for Wang Qia, who is similar to Yuan Yingtai, it is not much better than playing the piano to the cow, and the eight horses can't be pulled back by Wang Qia, and the angry Hong Chengchou is just waiting to impeach him and prepare to replace him.

The Dutch had only eight Galen warships, while the Ningbo Zhejiang Navy had more than a hundred warships, which, in the words of Tokugawa Iemitsu, could kill the Netherlands even if they were piled up.

Comparing him with Tokugawa Iemitsu really exalted Wang Qia, after all, Tokugawa Iemitsu was the third generation at the helm of the Wa Shogunate, and he still had military talent. Wang Qia is just Yuan Yingtai's second.

The results speak for themselves, the Zhejiang Naval Division was completely at a disadvantage, and in the end it was damaged by the Netherlands with more than a dozen old warships. Only three of Clark's new warships were able to match the speed and cannon range of the eight Galen ships in the Netherlands.

The other more than 100 warships ran slowly, and the ship's guns could not reach the Dutch Galen ship at all, and the shells fell into the sea at a distance of 2 miles from the Dutch battleship, and even the waves could not reach the Galen ship.

Whether they were advancing or retreating, these battleships did not play any role, and became a burden to the three new Clark battleships, and in order to cover this huge fleet, the three Clark battleships were scarred and miserable.

Due to the large gap in artillery, the speed and strength of the hull, and the gap between the crew and the gunner, the only choice but to retreat was the only choice.

If it weren't for the escort of these three Clark battleships, it is estimated that half of the more than 100 old warships would return to port, and those small flat-bottomed sand ships that served as battleships were almost thrown over by the wind and waves after entering the deep sea, and they couldn't protect themselves, let alone artillery battles.

During the retreat, the Dutch pursued, and the Zhejiang sailors were sunk by 3 sand boats.

All three of the new ships had to be broken, and all of them were damaged, with only one of the Netherlands, the Galen, being visibly damaged.

The enemy is still in pursuit.

At the critical moment, the Fujian sailors arrived.

In addition to dozens of Fu ships, there are also 5 new warships.

Not only that, but the artillery of the Fujian naval division was generally better and the sailors were more skilled.

In addition to the prosperity of Fujian's opening of the port, in addition to the purchase of Aceban duck and Portuguese artillery, a large number of Fujianese once went to sea and brought heavy artillery casting technology after returning.

For example, the Fujian craftsmen hired by Huang Kezhang and Xu Guangqi once went to Luzon to make cannons for Acebanya.

Although these cannons were slightly weaker than the Hongyi cannons, they were also superior to the traditional artillery of the Ming Dynasty, and were enough to threaten the warships of the Netherlands.

For an hour of long-range artillery battles, several battleships on both sides were hit by guns.

The Galen battleship was huge and strong, and the loss was smaller than that of the Ming army, but after such a long battle, the ammunition consumption was very large, so it had to retreat in the direction of Treasure Island and Ryukyu.

In this naval battle off the coast of Ningbo, the Ming repelled the enemy, but the Dutch suffered smaller losses, and both sides claimed victory.

With the support of the Fujian Navy Division, he is still at a disadvantage, I wonder if the deputy general soldier sent by Wang Qia to lead the troops can still cover up the truth after he returns?

Hong Chengchou, the secretary of Zhejiang University, is visiting the Fujian Sailor and has all the information that the Fujian Sailor knows. Then he privately asked the officers and soldiers of the Zhejiang Navy Division to understand the situation, and the Zhejiang Navy Division was full of resentment towards Wang Qia from top to bottom, so he naturally provided a lot of materials.

Hong Chengchou worked hard overnight to write the prelude to Wang Qia's impeachment, and sent it to the capital in 300 miles, waiting for Wang Qia to be dismissed by the imperial court.

Wang Qia knew that he had made a big disaster, so he hurriedly wrote a chapter to express his merits, and put all the responsibility on the cronies who led the troops. also wanted to use money to bribe the speech officials to speak for him, but he usually looked down on those sesame officials arrogantly and did not have a good relationship.

After Wang Hongyu got the news, of course he knew that the Ming warships and artillery were weaker, and their experience and training were even worse, and the results of the battle would definitely be a loss.

Wang Qia did not carry out the strategic plan of the imperial court and his plan, and could not be accommodated at all. Wang Hongyu realistically reported the pre-war advice of the generals of the Hunhe Army and the whole process to the apocalypse through the flying pigeon.

In the current situation, it is definitely impossible to attack the Japanese state, the number of new warships of the Ming Dynasty is not enough, and the far-sea operations will definitely not be bearable, but the coastal operations are still possible, at least the logistics are guaranteed, but they will definitely be able to hold the treasure island.

Moreover, the southeast coast has been fighting, and the East India Company must increase its troops in the southeast, so that there will be opportunities in the direction of Nanyang and Malacca.

......

More than a month later, Putmans soon passed the news to Batavia via the Dutch merchant ships.

Governor Cohen was considered to have made two unfavorable expeditions in Macao and Penghu, and this time he finally got the result of the naval battle off the coast of Ningbo.

"Putmans is right, the alliance with the Wa State and the Houjin State can indeed deal with the Ming State."

Seeing that Putmans said that if he did not increase his troops, it was estimated that he would rely on the combat power of the Wa State and expel the Ming State from the treasure island, and it was estimated that it would take at least 10 years to fight.

10 years is too long.

Cohen, as the governor of the East India Company, was not a king or a monarch, and it is not known where he would be after 10 years.

If you can take the entire treasure island in a year or two, and divide it equally with the Japanese state, as long as you can expand the scale of the Japanese trade and open up and occupy the Ming market, even if you take a risk.

He decided to throw half of Batavia's forces into the past.

Although the indigenous Mataran Sultanate here, some gradually dissatisfied. But the 50,000 indigenous sultans were no match for the 2,000 Dutch mercenaries who were guarding the fortress.

What's more, the Sultan of Mataran was already unpopular with the people, and he oppressed many capable Chinese and Buddhist people under his rule.

The Ming State was a hundred times stronger than the Mataran Sultanate, and the Mataran State did not want to marry the Ming State, but was anti-Ming, anti-Netherland, anti-Portuguese, and close to the Ottomans.

Cohen scoffed, feeling that the country was completely insignificant.

However, if the Ming Kingdom defeated the Putmans and the Wa Kingdom, it would really not be able to suppress the Ming Kingdom, let alone seize the market.

"Send out the fleet and marines!"

"Yes! Governor! The First Fleet of Batavia is at its disposal. ”

"The first fleet is not enough, the second fleet will also go, and another 3000 marines will be transferred."

"But Governor, only the Fourth Fleet remains, and the defenders are only 2,000 men."

"It's okay~"

Cohen was known for his harshness, being harsh on his subordinates and unkind to his enemies.

He has a strategic ambition and a strong ambition, and the opportunity that Putmans strives for, then he will expand with all his might.

"I will set off in 10 days, and I will personally lead the team and go straight to the treasure island of Mingguo."

"Yes!"
