The pirate fleet and the Dutch fleet looked at each other from a distance of several nautical miles, and it was obvious that the more than 200 pirate main warships did not frighten the Dutch, and the Western powers at this time swept the world on the sea and did not encounter any opponents, so their navy had a sense of pride and confidence in looking down on the whole world! They would not be frightened by a group of natives in a messy fleet.

The Governor of the Ryukyus, Putmans, stood on deck and asked his soldiers to address Zheng Zhilong in the language of the flag!

In fact, the flag language used by different countries is different, theoretically speaking, it is impossible for the Dutch flag to be sent to the people of Da Meng country, but Putmans knows that Zheng Zhilong can understand it, because he has been a translator under the Dutch for a long time.

"Nicholas, the emperor of your Dameng Kingdom has been defeated by us, and his whereabouts are unknown, what kind of limelight are you pirates? Obediently go back to Macao and Hong Kong! "Putmans didn't really want to fight the pirates, because it didn't matter if he won, the Dutch wanted trade privileges in the Great Moe Country, which had nothing to do with pirates.

Zheng Zhilong really understood the flag language of the Dutch, he smiled, and wanted to order his flag soldiers to reply, but ...... His flag men only knew the flag orders used by pirates, not the Dutch, so he had to pick up the flag himself, go to the bow of the ship, and respond to the other side in the language of the flag: "Putmans, let me tell you something...... If you want to negotiate, you should talk to me first, I have been appointed as the Five Tiger Guerrilla General of the Imperial Court of the Great Meng Kingdom, and from today onwards, the southeast sea of the Great Meng Kingdom will be up to me!"

Putmans was stunned, and couldn't help but ask his subordinates who knew Da Meng Guo better, "What is the Five Tiger Guerrilla Generals?"

"Ahem...... Temporary positions with no permanent job ......," replied a China expert.

After Putmans heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "Did the court of the Great Meng Kingdom trick him into playing?"

That's when it happened. Putmans saw Zheng Zhilong's flag and said, "I already have a privateer license from Da Meng ......"

"What?" Putmans was so shocked that he couldn't help but take off the hat on his head and throw it on the deck: "Privateer license? Damn, the Great Meng Kingdom actually issued this thing? This is a privilege that only our Western European Navy has, and this native and monkey country actually understands this?"

Now that privateering has been said, Putmans knows that this hurdle must not be overcome. Because when he was in the West, he had seen many Western pirates with privateer licenses, and he knew what it meant to have this license...... Persons who have this certificate. It is possible to rob the ships of other countries at will. Attack hostile territories and control the shipping lanes...... In short, for the sake of profit, he can do whatever he wants, all his actions. He has the support of the state.

In his own hand, Putmans himself had a privateering license issued by the king of the Netherlands! This is also the most powerful weapon in his hand, the most proud weapon, but he didn't expect the other party to have it, this time...... In terms of political status, the other party stands on the same level as him. Zheng Zhilong is right. To negotiate, he has to talk to Zheng Zhilong.

Putmans spread his hands depressedly, and said with a banner: "Nicholas as an official, then let's talk about it now, what I want is the exclusive trade right of the Da Meng country, as long as the big Meng country gives me the right to trade, and cedes the Penghu Islands to us." We won't attack the territory of the Great Meng Kingdom. Oh yes. And the reparations, hand over the murderer who stole the 'Flying Dutchman'......"

Zheng Zhilong shook his head with a smile, and replied, "You really want a lot, but I only want one thing......

"What is it?" said Putmans.

"Your head!" Zheng Zhilong laughed. ...,

Putmanston was half angry, he wanted to negotiate seriously, but he didn't expect Zheng Zhilong to come to entertain him.

It turned out that Zheng Zhilong had already received clear instructions from Yi Yun, and there was nothing to talk about with the invaders, so it was right to beat him to death, but Zheng Zhilong, out of the habit of pirates, had to scoop the other party and tease him before beating people, and then talked nonsense with him for a long time.

After the nonsense was finished, both sides raised their hands almost at the same time and waved forward heavily......

"Sail ......"

"Loading ......"

"Turning the Rudder ......"

"Watch the wind direction and currents......

The sailors on the deck began to shout, and the sailors on the watchtower also shouted: "The enemy ship is southeast, four nautical miles away......

"Keep the battle line!" shouted Putmans.

"Let the Dutch know what the art of war is called pirates!" Zheng Zhilong also shouted.

The fleets of the two sides became excited almost instantly, and rushed towards each other together, and the slightly yellowish oriental hard sails were getting closer and closer to the white Western soft sails.

At this time, Putmans saw Evan's flagship and couldn't help but curse: "Damn, that's the Flying Dutchman! It's actually being used by the enemy against us, hey, it's printed on it, what's written?"

A Chinese expert next to him replied: "Your Excellency, it is printed with 'Flying Henan people'." ”

Putmans: "......"

"Damn monkey!" Putmans cursed, "the distance is close, the left rudder is full, turning, the battle line is assisted...... Prepare for shelling ......"

"Huh, Your Excellency, the enemy is also on the battle line!" shouted a non-commissioned officer.

It turned out that at the same time that the Dutch were turning around with eight ships and planning to line up the battle line, the pirate ships under Zheng Zhilong's men who were messy and looked chaotic actually turned around at the same time, and they seemed to be laying out battle lines, and unlike the Dutch, they were not one battle line, but several battle lines. About every ten to twenty ships were a group, and each group was stretched into a battle line, and more than two hundred ships on the opposite side actually listed more than a dozen battle lines.

Among these dozen battle lines, the most powerful battle line is composed of Zheng Zhilong's flagship and Yiyun's flagship, which includes Zheng Zhilong's flagship, the flying Henan, Li Huamei's flagship, Huberian, and Zheng Zhihu's Dafu ship, Zheng Zhibao's Dafu ship, and other flagships of the leaders of Fengyun Eighteen Zhizhi, which can be said to be a large collection of flagships.

This line was pulled out, and even the Dutch couldn't help but gasp!

"Your Excellency, the other party seems to be ...... Don't be afraid to fight with us!" exclaimed one of the non-commissioned officers: "They have also mastered the tactics of the battle line. ”

"Don't worry, the quality of the artillery is far from the same!" Putmans said confidently: "There are no professional artillerymen in the Great Meng Country. ”

"Boom!" At this moment, the flying Henan people took the lead in firing, only one shot, this cannon is the fire of the bow cannon of the flying Henan people, this bow cannon weighs 10,000 catties, in the weight of the gun body, the barrel, the gunpowder loaded, the diameter of the gun chamber and other aspects, it is almost ten times that of the thousand catties franc cannon, so the range is much farther, other guns have not yet entered the range can not fire, but Yi Yun's bow gun can take the lead in roaring, in order to show the prestige of the country!

The black cannonballs streaked through the sky, carrying a red light, and landed on the sea about eight meters away next to Putmans's flagship, stirring up a huge pillar of sand, which rushed at least ten meters high, and raised sand and dust.

"Ten thousand pounds of artillery!" was fired by professional artillery!" Putmans was startled, and the other Dutchmen were dumbfounded.

"Don't be afraid, they only have one artillery, or ten, but not too many!" Putmans shouted after coming back to his senses: "There are very few artillery in the Great Meng Country, this information will not be wrong! Get closer to the past and use our gunwales to tell the monkeys of the Great Meng Country who is the overlord of the sea." ”...,

At this time, a battle line composed of miscellaneous pirates had been parallel with the Dutch, both sides opened fire at the same time, and the shells shuttled between the two battle lines, and sure enough, the cannons of these pirates were all put by ordinary people, and their power and accuracy were seriously insufficient, just like the battleships of the Beiyang Naval Division, under a round of shelling, these battleships suffered a big loss, and the side side was punched a big hole, and the deck was also full of pits.

The Dutch were in high spirits and laughed loudly.

What's interesting is that on the flagship battle line on Yiyun's side, there was also a laugh from the Eighteen Zhi: "Guo Huaiyi, your fleet is too bad, let's suffer, laugh at us." ”

It turned out that this ragtag pirate battle line was the fleet of a pirate named Guo Huaiyi in the Eighteen Zhi, and this pirate named Guo Huaiyi was actually dressed as a Confucian and seemed to be more knowledgeable. He spread his hands depressedly and said: "You guys who are in schadenfreude, my fleet is the first to go, and in terms of courage, it is my people who win, what are you to do to laugh at me for suffering?"

(Note: Guo Huaiyi is a historical figure, a national hero of the anti-Dutch resistance, and there is a memorial hall for him in Baodao Bay.) Folklore has it that he was once Zheng Zhilong's general, but there is no literature to corroborate, this book writes that he is one of the eighteen Zhilong, just to let the national hero come out and show his face, please take it seriously!)

Guo Huaiyi's battle line was quickly forced away, the Dutch was violent, fearlessly continued to rush over, another round of naval artillery bombardment, Zheng Zhibao's pirate team also suffered a loss, full of holes and retreated to the side.

In the next eighteen Zhi, He Bin's department also suffered a big loss, and was almost sunk by a round of artillery bombardment by the Dutch.

"Okay, show the enemy weakness, and let the other party underestimate the enemy's action is almost in place!" Zheng Zhilong waved his big hand and said: "Go up to the flagship battle line, let the Dutch see our real strength." ”

"Okay!

Fengyun Eighteen Zhi was gearing up, and more than a dozen capital ships were arranged in a battle line, rushing towards the Dutch fleet, and the first one in line was Zheng Zhilong's second brother, Zheng Zhihu's flagship. There is a proverb in the southeast sea "Long Zhi Tiger Yong", this "Tiger Yong" refers to Zheng Zhihu, every time he charges into battle, his flagship will take the lead.

After Zheng Zhihu, followed by Zheng Zhilong's Dutch galleon, and then Yiyun's flying Henanese, Huberian, Li Huamei, Zheng Zhibao, Yang Tiansheng, Shi Xuan, Yang Liu, Yang Qi, Zhong Bin, Li Guozhu, Li Kuiqi, Hong Xu, Gan Hui, He Bin, Guo Huaiyi, Chen Xinji...... Eighteen Zhi, almost all of them are dispatched! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
