Chapter 425: Yu Zhigao

It will take at least two years to reach a large scale with sufficient Hongyi cannons, dry docks, sail battleships, and a supply fleet at sea.

When the time comes, if you fight with the Netherlands, the quality of the Ming warships will be more advantageous.

The decisive battle at sea will continue to wait, and the battle on the treasure island will not have to wait so long.

Dealing with the Dutch fortress on the treasure island, I would have worried about the enemy's main fleet, but now the other party has been heavily damaged and lost a lot, and it will take a detour back to Batavia for repairs, and it will not come to the southeast of Daming in a short time.

This is a great opportunity to recapture the treasure island and clean up the Netherlands and Japanese soldiers and horses above.

Xiong Tingbi has arrived in Ningbo.

The Hunhe Army commanded by Zhang Mingshi, Qin Minping, Zhao Hannian, and Qin Ling is now strong and well-trained, with a number of 9,000 and new equipment.

Yu Zhigao of Fujian also fought several times with the Dutch and the Japanese state, and although there were not many new warships, he would not suffer a big loss when he encountered the enemy.

There are also Tengpai Siwei, Jingying and Baoding armies in Shandong and Nanzhili, whose combat strength has been greatly improved, and they are looking forward to investing in new wars to make meritorious contributions.

Wang Hongyu and Xiong Tingbi formally invited the imperial court, Baodao has been a land of China since ancient times, and the Ming Dynasty established an inspection department in Penghu as early as possible to trade with the people of Baodao, and the big-bellied kingdom on the island also accepted the guidance of the Ming Dynasty.

After the Penghu Naval War last year, the Beigang Inspection Division was established on Baodao and the Beigang Wharf was newly built.

However, the tens of thousands of troops of the Japanese Kingdom were so bold and reckless that they actually landed and gained a foothold in the northern part of the treasure island. The Netherlands even built a hot shelter fortress on the south side of the treasure island.

This is a blatant act of intrusion.

After the Battle of Malacca, the enemy's fleet was frustrated and demoralized, and it was a good time to completely drive the enemy out of the island.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao agreed, Ye Xianggao, as a Fujianese, also knew the beauty and richness of the treasure island, and of course he would not watch the enemy leave at the door of his home.

The emperor, the cabinet, the military department, and the celebrant all agreed to expel the enemy at an opportune time.

The commander of the southern front was Xiong Tingbi, who commanded Fujian and Zhejiang to launch an offensive.

Previously, he had stepped down from the post of Liaodong Economic Strategy, added the secretary of the military department, gave Shang Fang the sword, and served as the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, responsible for defending the coastal Penghu and Baodao, commanding the soldiers and horses of the two provinces, and mobilizing the manpower and material resources of Nanzhili and Jiangxi to expel the Japanese and Hongmaoyi who invaded the treasure island.

Nan Juyi, the governor of Fujian, Hong Chengchou, the new governor of Zhejiang, and the soldiers and horses of the two provinces were commanded by Xiong Tingbi.

The northern line was Wang Hongyu, and the soldiers and horses of Zhili, Shandong and Tianjin in the south were used to support, block the enemy's reinforcements, cut off the enemy's rear route, deter the Japanese state, and support the Goryeo rebels.

The British Duke Zhang Weixian and the Governor of Zhilu Han Jun were not directly under the command of Wang Hongyu, but they clearly ordered Wang Hongyu to provide support. The governor Yuan Keli and the chief soldier Shen Yourong were all dispatched by Wang Hongyu.

This military operation was launched simultaneously on the northern and southern fronts, with the southern front first landing and besieging the Resha fortress occupied in the southern part of the island; The northern front first cut off the rear route of the Japanese army, and cut off the supply lines of the Japanese army.

On the southern front, Yu Zhigao's Fujian naval division first secured the sea passage of Penghu and transported troops and supplies to Penghu.

When it comes to Yu Zhigao, we must first introduce his father Yu Daxuan.

Yu Dayou was a famous anti-Japanese general in the Ming Dynasty, a military strategist, a martial artist, a poet, and a national hero.

Yu Dayou has been fighting against the Japanese invaders almost all his life, and his military achievements are outstanding, and the "Yu Family Army" led by him can even scare the enemy back, and is called "Yu Long Qi Hu" together with Qi Jiguang, sweeping away the pseudo-Japanese who have been suffering for many years and taking advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos.

Although he has made a lot of achievements, he is often impeached and dismissed, and even has been impersonated by others many times, but Yu Dayou never counts and still goes all out to fight against the Japanese.

In the course of the battle with the Wakos, it was discovered that although the Wakos came from the sea, they were good at land warfare and not good at naval warfare. So Yu Dayou recruited and trained a sailor, and chose the fortune ship to fight against the Japanese at sea.

In terms of tactics, Yu Dayou also pointed out that fighting at sea is nothing more than using big ships to fight small ships, defeating the outnumbered with the crowd, and attacking the small with big guns. In the course of actual combat, the naval army established by Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang's army cooperated with each other to effectively deal a devastating blow to the Japanese invaders.

Yu Dayu also wrote military and martial arts works such as "The Art of War", "The Book of Swords", "Recent Matters of Washing the Sea", "General Essentials of the Continuation of the Martial Arts", and later generations compiled the poems written by Yu Dayou into the "Zhengqitang Collection".

Yu Dayou had three sons, two of whom are unknown, so only one son is known, that is, Yu Zhigao.

In the thirty-seventh year of Wanli (1609 AD), Yu Zhigao was in the middle of the martial arts, and because of his father Yu Dayou's meritorious service, he attacked the guard and commanded the affairs, and later promoted all the way to the general army of Fujian.

In this world, Yu Zhigao is still the general army of Fujian, and the Yu family army is fighting against the Japanese invaders, and at this time it is the naval general under Xiong Tingbi who has shown heroism in several battles against the Netherlands.

Wang Hongyu's appearance has changed many things because of the butterfly effect, and Yu Zhigao no longer has to fight Zheng Zhilong, of course, he has avoided defeat and humiliation.

In fact, at that time, the Ming Dynasty court and Yu Zhigao did not know Zheng Zhilong's strength, the two were not opponents at the same level at all, Yu Zhigao's repeated defeats were inevitable, and dealing with Zheng Zhilong was far beyond his ability and strength.

Yu Zhigao's tragedy was caused by both the individual and the imperial court, of course, his ability is far inferior to his father Yu Daxuan, nor does he have his father's mind and self-cultivation, Wang Hongyu will use his talents, and he is still a strong general within his ability.

Xiong Tingbi is a person who knows the soldiers, he will not fight a battle if he is not sure, nor will he let Yu Zhigao hit the stone with an egg, and Wang Hongyu will not let Xiong Tingbi fight in waves, Yu Zhigao's fate has changed, and it has also changed the fate of the descendants of the Yu family.

The Netherlands only had 5 Galen warships of Putmans here, and at this time it was decided to retain its strength, and later planned to use pirate tactics to attack sporadically while it was lax, so it did not shoot in the early stage.

Use the hot blocking fortress to deal with the Ming navy, hold the fortress with the fortress and more than 200 ship-borne guns, and support the Japanese army from the land in the north at the right time.

Putsmann knew very well that Cohen's remaining warships could not be repaired in half a year, and when the Ming warships were also repaired, with the production capacity of Daming, there would be 10 and 20 warships launched in half a year, and it was estimated that the structure would be more advanced.

Within a year, the Netherlands had nowhere to mobilize dozens of warships to Southeast Asia, and he knew that the Netherlands was now surrounded by enemies, and none of them were in a favorable position to fight, and the colonies in the South Seas had been taken away by Portugal and the Ming Dynasty.

The Americas have been blockaded by Aceban Duck, and the goods from the Americas cannot be shipped; The Strait of Malacca has been blockaded by the Ming and Portugal, specifically targeting the Netherlands and the Japanese kingdoms.

The initiator of the situation of building the city was himself, and he only saw the rich and backward navy of the Ming Dynasty, and did not consider that a powerful country wanted to develop its navy so quickly.

Especially that Yu Zhigao, there are not many new warships in his hands, but his skills in naval warfare are not weak at all.
