Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 742 Remaining life after catastrophe
Alden had to retreat because his country couldn't afford it.

Due to many reasons such as religion, territory, and colonies, Spain has been at war with various countries for nearly 100 years.

The Thirty Years War had just ended, and their country had suffered enormous losses.

Especially in the naval battle with the Dutch, their main fleet was almost wiped out. Since then, the maritime hegemony of the Atlantic Ocean has changed hands.

Until now, the number of warships in Spain is still very different from that of the Netherlands. For this reason, King Philip IV of Spain had to order to stop the war with the Portuguese.

In addition to the main fleet defending the Atlantic merchant ships, the Spanish fleet in Luzon is already the largest, but it is the only one, and the national finances cannot quickly replenish them with warships.

He knew that the Zheng family in the Sabah beach would not last long. As long as Sabah was taken, it would be equivalent to taking down Holo, and they would have the fort defense support of the entire island.

Well, he will win the war.

However, although the Ming Navy's style of play was extremely reckless, it defeated Alden's luck.

"The whole army withdraws to Tawi Island, and the rear battleships cover!" After observing the flagship's order again, the soldiers were ordered to report to Carroll again.

Carroll almost cursed and reluctantly boarded the battleship. Given another 10 minutes, he was sure to defeat the Zheng family in front, and his men suffered huge losses in the landing battle.

"Made, a bunch of idiots!" Qi Laosan spit into the dark blue water outside the ship.

Cui Geng of the Jingyuan seems to have sunk one more local warship than him, although that warship was not big.

"Wu Liuyi, issue an order to the flagship and ask for pursuit!" On the Jingyuan, Cui Geng roared at Chief Officer Wu Liuyi.

"My lord, I just received an order from the flagship not to pursue, but to land directly on the beach in Sabah!" The flag bearer shouted at Cui Geng and the others below.

"What? No pursuit?" Cui Geng asked in surprise.

The big Frangler fleet has now sold their ass to them. What a great opportunity to expand the results of the battle.

The order was given by Liu Hongjian, because his goal was not to defeat the Spaniards, and the Beiyang Navy was not capable of challenging the Europa maritime power several times.

He fought with all his life, just to drive back the enemy fleet, as he did with the Dutch fleet, as he did with the Spaniards.

Because of the hard power of the fleet, the warships of the Beiyang Navy have no absolute advantage except for their stronger defense, and even in terms of speed, they are still a bit behind the enemy.

Now, he won the bet.

The entire battle lasted for half an hour, and the Portuguese fleet on the east side of Jolo Island had already begun to gather towards them. Although the speed was not fast, Liu Hongjian did not dare to take any more risks.

The Beiyang Navy faced a different dilemma from Spain. The Beiyang Navy had only so few people. He didn't want to win the reputation, but he disabled the Beiyang Navy.

On the beaches of the Fort Sabah and the offshore waters, there are floating ship boards and corpses everywhere, and several small warships ran aground on the beach with black smoke.

The fleet of the Beiyang Navy was approaching, and on the sandy beach of Sabah, Zheng Sen stood straight on the beach, looking at the sailor soldiers who jumped off the battleship ahead like dumplings.

"Which is your leader?" Qi Yuanfu walked towards Zheng Sen on the tidal flat as soon as he landed.

"My lord, I am Zheng Hongkui, the Zheng family's staff officer. May I ask what instructions you have?"

Seeing that his nephew seemed to be in a trance, Zheng Hongkui dragged his injured left leg forward and gave a salute.

"Hurry up and send someone to receive the ammunition. The admiral said that the Sabah Fortress must restore its firepower as soon as possible!" After Qi Yuanfu finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to command his supply ships to dock.

After a while, the Beiyang Navy's flagship Shanhaiguan finally docked. Liu Hongjian got off the battleship in a panic, and hurriedly walked towards Zheng Sen on the tidal flat.

After not seeing him for more than a year, he also missed this little brother very much.

"Oki, it's too late for brother!"

Liu Hongjian opened his arms to give Zheng Sen a hug, but suddenly realized that this etiquette is not for everyone.

"Brother, I...my father..." Zheng Sen couldn't hold back any longer, tears streaming down his face.

For several months, Zheng Sen has been playing the role of the head of the Zheng family. In front of the soldiers, he is always full of confidence and dare not show any hesitation.

The Zheng family was attacked by the three countries, was besieged, lacked ammunition, and food was in short supply. All these, under the tremendous pressure, Zheng Sen has been silently bearing.

However, he is only a young man in his early 20s.

If it weren't for the presence of fourth and fifth uncles, and if it wasn't for the elder brother representing the imperial court coming to support him, he wouldn't have the courage to hold on.

Now, his elder brother arrived, bringing the fleet of Ming Ming, and the tight thread in his heart finally relaxed.

"Go back and talk, go back and talk." Liu Hongjian didn't know how to comfort Zheng Sen, patted him on the shoulder and said.

Within a few months, most of his father, uncles, and cousins ​​were killed in battle, and at the same time were attacked by the fleet of the three countries. He understood the grief and pressure.

But he was surrounded by generals of the Zheng family, and he didn't want Zheng Sen's majesty to be damaged.

After briefly explaining to Qi Yuangong, and handing over the command of the fleet to Qi Yuangong, Liu Hongjian took his personal guards and went with Zheng Sen to the Zheng family's military camp on the island.

As the sun set, the figures of the crowd stretched out. Liu Hongjian and Zheng Sen didn't speak during the journey. It wasn't that they didn't have anything to say, but they had too many words in their hearts, but they didn't know where to start.

Commander-in-Chief Boris and his fleet only stopped for a moment in the waters of Sabah, and then returned to Sibu Island with the fleet.

He cherishes the battleship in his hands more than Alden, and he seems to know the combat style of the Beiyang Navy. He has already swallowed a large piece of fat in his stomach. He has no reason to fight the Beiyang Navy and the Sabah Fort for a Holo. It's up to you.

It got dark.

The soldiers guarding the Sabah Fort, who replenished the gunpowder, finally relaxed. After three days and nights of intense battles, the soldiers of the Zheng family finally collapsed on the ground and had a good rest.

"Aren't you going to eat, get up for me! The prince has an order, tonight we have wine and meat!" Zheng Zhibao kicked the Zheng family soldier on the ground and scolded with a smile.

Now that they have decided to incorporate the Zheng family's navy, they can't be stingy. Under Liu Hongjian's instructions, the Beiyang navy generously provided the fleet's supplies and sent sailors to take over the defense.

Wine and meat are almost what the soldiers of the Zheng family need most at this time, and they almost have a greater effect than looking at plums to quench their thirst. When they heard Zheng Zhibao's words, all the soldiers of the Zheng family stood up cheering.

The Zheng family barracks on Holo Island was brightly lit and overcrowded tonight. The soldiers of the Beiyang Navy and the Zheng family sat together, drinking and beating.

The rest of his life is accompanied by wine and meat, which is enough to comfort the hearts of all the soldiers of the Zheng family.

Zheng Sen picked up a bowl of wine and stood up from the table, walked slowly in front of Liu Hongjian, and knelt down in front of Liu Hongjian in front of everyone.
