Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 739 Zheng Sen is by no means alone
Sulu Islands, Jolo.

Sulu is not a whole piece of land, the whole Sulu consists of hundreds of volcanic islands, coral islands, numerous rocky beaches and reefs.

Stretching more than 500 miles southwest from Basilan Island in the southwest of Mindanao to near the east coast of Sabah in Malaysia, it is Lao Zheng's family business that he earned after ten years of operation.

However, under the combined attack of the Dutch, big and small Franklins, and with the power of one family, Zheng Sen's Zheng family navy has come to an end.

In one month, the joint fleet encroached on the Sulu Islands from the northeast, southwest, and southeast, and forced the Zheng family navy to a corner of Jolo Island in the center of Sulu.

At this moment, the combined fleet of the big and small Franjis is going south and north, and is engaged in the final decisive battle with the Zheng family's navy in Hollow. In the eyes of Earl Alden, the governor of the small Franji (Spain) stationed in Luzon, the Zheng family's Destruction is today.

"Major Carroll, order your right-wing warships to concentrate on attacking the Sabah Fort! At any cost!" Earl Alden ordered.

Holo is the last habitat and base camp of the Zheng family. There are only six large forts, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In fact, in the history of battles between battleships and turrets, there has never been a record of victory for the battleship side so far, and now this record is about to be created in Alden's hands.

The reason is very simple. The gunpowder of the Hollow Zheng family is almost exhausted. The Dutch fleet suddenly withdrew half a month ago, which made Earl Alden even more excited. At this point in the battle, it would be great to have one less opponent to share the fruits.

"Kang Taili, are you sure that Yiguan Zheng's navy has run out of ammunition and food? Why are they still unwilling to surrender?" Earl Alden suddenly turned around and asked a man in a Ming costume.

His fleet has been aggressively attacking Holo for five days. If Li Kangtai from Holo Island hadn't told him that the island could no longer support him, he would have ordered the withdrawal of troops.

Long-term combat is a heavy burden for the soldiers of the battleship, and the naval soldiers underneath have already begun to feel resentment. If Holo cannot be captured today, he is worried that the soldiers will refuse to fight tomorrow.

One night three days ago, Li Kangtai from Holo Island escaped with his family by boat and was captured by him. Before surviving, Li Kangtai did not hesitate at all, and reported the actual situation of Holo Island to the Frang machine.

And in order to live better, Li Kangtai told Alden all he knew about the deployment of the Zheng family's navy. In the words of later generations, this is a standard traitor.

"Dear Lord Alden, I have a distant relative in Zheng Sen's army, and I swear by my master that Zheng Sen's ammunition will never survive today!" Li Kangtai replied flatteringly while bending over.

If nothing else happened, he would have a brand new armed merchant ship after the war, and he was even more hopeful than Alden that Franz would defeat the Zheng family.

Alden didn't speak after hearing the interpreter's translation, but turned his gaze to Holo Island, which was close in front of him.

"Hubert, is Boris of Braganza still silent?" Alden asked the first officer behind him again.

His heart was uneasy, and at the same time, the alliance with the Braganza made him feel as uncomfortable as eating dog shit.

Braganza is the Portugal of the later generation, which is also known as the Grand Franchi in the population of Ming Dynasty. In fact, seven years ago, the Portuguese just got rid of the rule of Spain and regained their independence.

It's just that King Philip IV of Spain has always refused to admit it. Although the two countries have entered a brief period of peace three years ago, it was not until 20 years later that Spain, which had been unable to support it, recognized Portugal's independence.

But now, in the eyes of the Spaniards, the ruler of Braganza, Joao IV the Restoration, is just a separatist and an enemy of the Spaniards.

But in the face of huge benefits, Alden chose to cooperate with Boris, and Sulu was the bargaining chip between them.

"Yes, Governor, they just parked the fleet beyond the range of the Kasa Fort, but they did not attack." The first officer said truthfully.

"Damn! This cunning fox!" Alden slapped the side of the battleship with his palm.

Holo is not a strategically important place, and the island does not even have rich resources. It is just cutting grass and roots, and no one wants to leave hidden dangers in the hinterland of the rule.

Before the war, the Three Kingdoms had agreed that whoever captured the island would own it. Now that the Netherlands has withdrawn, the Zheng family is left with only Jolo. The Portuguese wisely chose to watch the fire from the other side.

The reason is simple, the beast is still fighting, the Portuguese would rather give Jolo Island to Spain, and for this reason they kindly promised to help Alden defend the eastern part of Jolo Island to prevent the Zheng family's navy from fleeing.

"Your Excellency, the Sabah Fort has lost its attack power. Major Carroll requests to land and fight!"

After 10 minutes, the good news finally came from the front line, which made Alden's heart finally fall to the ground, and the eyes he looked at Li Kangtai became more cordial.

"God bless, order Rosen and Carol to lead the army to land! Go straight to their barracks!" Alden raised his voice and ordered.

Although Huo Luo is not an important place, if you take Huo Luo, you can have the Zheng family's fleet. Although their warships are not powerful enough, they are qualified merchant ships without the artillery, and the number is very considerable.

Foolish people of Braganza, only looking at immediate interests, sooner or later Emperor Philip the Great will lead the army to wipe out your home pride, Alden's eyes became sharp.

At the same time, Holo Island, the Zheng family's base camp.

Zheng Sen, the Patriarch of the Zheng family, has not closed his eyes for three days. He is wearing armor with bloodshot eyes, messy hair hanging over his shoulders, and a military map is full of black crosses.

"Patriarch, the ammunition for the Sabah fort is exhausted, and the Fran robots have already started to land." Zuo Canjun Liu Guoxuan came to report in person with a bloody face.

"Why panic? The Zheng family has no soldiers who are afraid of death! If they dare to land, let them see the courage of the Zheng family!" Zheng Sen slammed his fist on the table, gritted his teeth.

"But... Patriarch, we don't have any gunpowder anymore, we..." Liu Guoxuan stood up straight with shame on his face.

In order to save the emergency, Zheng Sen ordered the gunpowder on the warship to be distributed to the forts a few days ago. In the end, even the black powder in the musket shells was concentrated to fire the shells.

The Zheng family has really reached the end of the mast and scull.

"Then use sabers and arrow feathers! Use everything that can be used to kill people. Our fathers died at the hands of Frangji. As younger generations, you know what to do!" Zheng Sen raised his head and walked towards Liu Guoxuan Word by word.

In the naval battle of Dongning Island, the older generation of Zheng family members including Zheng Zhilong lost all their casualties. Twenty years ago, Zheng Zhilong's Eighteen Zhis, only Zheng Zhibao and Zheng Hongkui remained.

"Where's Feng Xifan? Order him to bring 3000 people with you to resist the Frangji."

"The last general has orders!" Liu Guoxuan clenched his fists unconsciously when he thought of his father's death.

At the same time, Zheng Sen was still fighting high, which made Liu Guoxuan and other generals feel more at ease.

"Fourth Uncle, you should lead your troops to help too!" After Liu Guoxuan left, Zheng Sen said to Zheng Hongkui who was behind him.

The fifth brother, Zheng Zhibao, was in charge of the defense of the east bank, while Zheng Hongkui had been in charge of the logistics of the Zheng family. Unless there was a critical moment, Zheng Sen would not send all the logistics troops to the front line.

"Fu Song, Uncle Fourth is right about you, Uncle Fourth is gone!" Zheng Hongkui got up and patted Zheng Sen on the shoulder, and turned around in silence for a while to leave.

"Fourth Uncle, if you all die in battle, I, Zheng Sen, will not be left alone!" Zheng Sen took a breath, and said to Zheng Hongkui in a low-pitched but firm voice.

Zheng Hongkui didn't make a sound, and walked straight out of the tent. After a while, only Zheng Sen was left in the tent.

He walked to a table in the tent, took a battle knife from the table, and gently wiped the scabbard with a rag.

It was a 20th birthday present from his father - a sword that had killed a Dutch general.
