Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The sea is always full of uncertainty, and people who live on the sea need to watch the face of God.  The commander of the Dutch fleet, Waite, felt as if he had eaten a huge fly at this time. His face was extremely ugly, and he had already dropped three of his favorite ceramic cups.  At this time yesterday, Waite was still full of confidence, and his determination to launch an attack this morning was very firm.  But this heavy fog disrupted Waite's plan. This feeling of being out of control made Waite feel very bad.  I originally wanted to catch the Spaniards off guard, but it seemed there was no hope this time.  Zheng Zhilong on the other side was very comfortable, sitting on his flagship and drinking wine leisurely.  The wine tastes really good and the stuff the Dutch put out is pretty good.  Regarding the attack on Spain, it would be good for Zheng Zhilong to have a soy sauce attitude. In his opinion, this heavy fog couldn't be better.  If the Spaniards and the Dutch cannot both suffer losses, how can I reap the benefits?  After drinking down the wine in the glass, Zheng Zhihu poured another glass for himself, and drank it again. When he was about to pour it, Zheng Zhilong's voice came over.  "If you want to drink, go to the back, don't waste things here! But don't drink too much, maybe there will be a war sometime!" Zheng Zhilong frowned and looked at his younger brother, saying with a bit of helplessness on his face.  Although they are brothers from the same mother, the personalities of the three brothers are very different. Zheng Zhilong is stable and well-organized.  Zheng Zhihu is just the opposite. He has a very fiery personality and an absolute firecracker temper.  The third brother, Zheng Zhibao, is very introverted. He is usually silent, but his personality is very stubborn.  You have your own ideas, and once you decide on something, it is very difficult to change it.  If you are really evil and ruthless.  Still have to count the third brother Zheng Zhibao.  He put down the cup in his hand nonchalantly. Although Zheng Zhihu had a very fiery personality, he was very afraid of Zheng Zhilong.  He walked towards Zheng Zhilong with a smile and said flatteringly: "Brother, it's not a big deal for us to wait here! These Dutch people don't do anything, and they are making a loud noise. At the critical moment, everyone is a loser!" Qingqing  Shaking the wine glass in his hand, Zheng Zhilong said with a smile: "You don't understand this. These Dutch people are very smart. For them, this is just the beginning of the war. They want to destroy the Spanish with minimal casualties.  This is what they want. " "While they want to cooperate with me, they also want to be wary of us. These red-haired ghosts are so stingy!" A look of ridicule and persistence flashed across Zheng Zhihu's face.  He didn't dare to say that about the Dutch before, but now the powerful fleet has given the Zheng family the capital to be arrogant.  After listening to Zheng Zhihu's words, Zheng Zhilong frowned slightly, but he did not refute Zheng Zhihu, but said calmly: "This shows that the Dutch are very smart. There will definitely be a battle between us and the Dutch. As the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. I just don't want Spain to lose.  We just arrived here together, and this is a tacit understanding between us and the Dutch. "Brother, the Dutch have sent reinforcements. This time they sent ten of their own warships and thirty more of them.  A warship. These are the entire strength of the Dutch. I wonder how many people they released in Penghu?" Zheng Zhibao on the side kept wiping the sword in his hand, which he seized from a group of Japanese pirates.  Ever since he killed the Japanese pirate leader with a knife, the knife had become Zheng Zhibao's weapon.  I like exceptions on weekdays.  He glanced at his third brother in surprise. Normally, Zheng Zhibao would not speak at this time.  However, Zheng Zhilong always answered questions about his younger brother.  Zheng Zhilong has always wanted to train his younger brother to be a master in his own right, so Zheng Zhilong will naturally not give up such an opportunity.  He lowered his head and thought for a while.  Zheng Zhilong said in a deep voice: "We don't know how much the Dutch have increased their troops. But one thing we know very well is that these additional troops gave the Dutch enough confidence. At first, they were just huddled in Penghu, and I wanted to eat them all.  They also understand this, so they are hiding in Penghu. Now that they dare to come out so blatantly, they naturally have the confidence." "This time, neither of us did our best. Firstly, it was unnecessary. Secondly,  We are all on guard against each other. If someone's hometown is purged at this time, I don't think I will be surprised." Zheng Zhilong put down the wine glass in his hand, stood up slowly, and looked into the distance.  of sea.  This battle is the beginning of the Taiwan Strait War, the beginning of destiny!  As for the navy of the Ming Dynasty, neither Zheng Zhilong nor the Dutch paid much attention to it.  The fog slowly dissipated, the sun once again shone on the sea, and the sea returned to its previous tranquility.  However, it was almost noon, and the low tide was only two or three hours away, so the attack became impossible.  The Dutch and Zheng Zhilong were cruising far away on the sea, waiting for the right time to attack tomorrow morning.?.  The waves are constantly beating on the side of the ship, and the fleet is riding the wind and waves forward. It is the navy of the Ming Dynasty that was forgotten by the Dutch and Zheng Zhilong.  Or maybe it¡¯s not that I¡¯ve forgotten it, but that I don¡¯t value it from the bottom of my heart.  But they would not have thought that this fleet, which none of them took seriously, would teach them an unforgettable lesson, a lesson baptized with blood.  Standing on the bow of the ship dressed in military uniform, his bright red cloak rustled in the sea breeze, Qi Jin pressed his right hand against his own battle, with unconcealable excitement on his face.  The salty smell of the sea seemed to have changed Qi Jin's sense of smell, and he seemed to smell a strong smell of blood from inside.  Yu Zigao, who was also wearing a military uniform, gently put away the telescope in his hand, and the beard on his face kept swaying with the sea breeze.  "The two generals are in such a good mood!" Nan Juyi, wearing a bright red official uniform, walked up from behind and said with a smile.  As a civil servant, Nan Juyi is not seasick, but enjoys this feeling.  "Mr. Nan, it's very windy on the sea, so let's leave things here to us!" Qi Jin looked at Nan Juyi with a wry smile, with a bit of helplessness on his face. Who would have thought that Nan Juyi would follow.  Glancing at Qi Jin, Nan Juyi seemed not to see Qi Jin's face, and still smiled and said: "General Qi still seems to be dissatisfied with my actions! But I don't want to miss such a battle. Besides, a civil servant can win  It is a rare thing to achieve military merit. Both generals are close ministers of the emperor, so they must not care about Nan's sharing of merit! " Qi Jin did not expect that Mr. Nan was so direct and did not hide his intentions at all.  .  He clasped his fists at Nan Juyi and said with a smile: "Master Nan is indeed a gentleman, I admire you." "General Qi is ridiculous. How can a gentleman compete with others for credit? Nan is already acting like a villain.  Now!" Nan Juyi smiled bitterly and shook his head. This opportunity was too important to him, and he couldn't care less about some flaws.  "Master Nan, what you said is wrong. The emperor has an intention this time. Mr. Nan is responsible for the war in the Taiwan Strait. Mr. Nan can personally attend the battle, which shows that Mr. Nan is responsible. The emperor will understand that Mr. Nan will serve the country with all his heart." Yu Zigao turned his head,  Looking at Nan Juyi with a smile, he said sincerely.  Things are already like this, and Nan Juyi can¡¯t be sent back, so let¡¯s leave a good impression on each other!  Everyone is in the officialdom, who might be helping whom!  Because of his father, Yu Zigao became much more diplomatic.  "The three of you are here! In this case, I don't need to look for you!" A man walked up from behind, wearing a fifth-grade official uniform. It was the marching commander Shi Zhang Yukun.  This man is the younger brother of Yu Zigao's father, Yu Dayou. He studied under Zhao Benxue, a contemporary military master, and is especially good at naval warfare.  Because he did not participate in the imperial examination and had no merit, he was assigned such a position by Emperor Tianqi.  "Uncle, are you here?" As soon as Yu Zigao saw Zhang Yukun, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.  But in terms of seniority, this is Yu Zigao's uncle.  In terms of ability, this uncle is probably a few steps ahead of Yu Zi.  The Ming Dynasty now has more than 60 warships in its navy, including 40 combat ships and 10 troop transport ships.  There are also supply ships and other warships, which can be said to be very complete.  These things are readily available in Zhang Yukun's hands.  Whether it is fleet formation, battle command, or even semaphore, he has studied it very well.  "Compared to Qi Jin and Yu Zigao, Zhang Yukun is more like the soul of this fleet.  Shen Yourong, who was originally promoted by Emperor Tianqi, failed to persist until this point and passed away in his hometown three months ago.  "It turns out to be Mr. Zhang. I wonder if Mr. Zhang has formulated a strategy?" Nan Juyi only found out about Zhang Yukun's existence after he got on the boat.  After learning about the situation, Nan Juyi did not dare to underestimate Zhang Yukun at all. He talked like an equal and had no official airs at all.  "Mr. Nanda, you are too polite. I am a low-ranking official with limited talent and little knowledge. I still need to be reminded by Nanda people." Regarding Nan Juyi's compliments, Zhang Yukun did not accept them all. After all, he had already entered the officialdom, and many things still had to be done according to the rules of the officialdom.  of.  Yu Zigao on the side seemed to be unable to wait any longer. He gave Nan Juyi an apologetic look and asked: "Uncle, if you have any ideas, please tell me immediately! We are going to Penghu soon, you have to get it."  Come up with a strategy!" Zhang Yukun nodded and said with a smile: "This is natural. Although naval battles require strong ships and powerful guns, they also need to be organized. As the saying goes, soldiers are valuable and quick, we will go straight this time.  Penghu, catch the Dutch by surprise. One thing we need to pay attention to is that no news is leaked along the way. Even when we attacked Penghu, we sent warships to blockade it, trying not to leak the news. You must know that we are not done with just one Dutch attack!  "The three people on one side all nodded. This is natural and something we must pay attention to."??.  (To be continued)
