Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 383
"You can't do this, Lord, punish these unscrupulous people!"

The two red-haired fans scolded their mothers angrily, oh no, they should want their master to punish the Ming soldiers.

Zheng Chenggong snorted coldly:
"Come here, nail these two red-haired fans to a wooden board, and sacrifice the cannon tomorrow."

"obey"

As soon as Zheng Chenggong gave an order, he immediately broke into a group of soldiers and tied up the two red-haired fans without any explanation.

Hongmaofan struggled desperately and shouted:
"God, these barbaric enlightened people, you can't treat the envoys like this, we are peace-loving envoys, if you do this, the Lord will not forgive you..."

The generals of the Ming Dynasty were all ruthless people. Hearing Hong Maofan's chatter, Zhang Huang said, Huang Fei, Yan Yingyuan and others were furious:
"Nimma fart, you red-haired ghosts are peace-loving, and you have come all the way to occupy our Taiwan, dragged out and crucified."

In this way, the two red-haired fans were dragged out, and the Ming army now made two crosses and nailed them to them.

Then carry the wooden cross to the beach and insert it on the beach, and prepare to let them blow the sea breeze first, and sacrifice the cannon when they set off.

The two red-haired fans never thought that the Ming army, who was weak in their hearts, would be so ruthless at this time.

He nailed them to the cross without saying a word, and prepared to sacrifice cannons.

Their hands and feet are nailed to the wood and they don't move, but their mouths can still move:
"I beg you, don't treat us like this, please let us down, the Lord will bless you..."

"Nimma, it's so noisy, go and gag their mouths."

The Ming soldiers who tied up the red-haired fans were annoyed to death by them, so they took off their socks and gagged his mouth, and the world finally quieted down.

Early the next morning, Zheng Chenggong boarded the battleship, and he wanted to test the strength and direction of the wind.

After all, the Taiwan Strait is hundreds of miles wide. If there is a headwind, it will be very difficult for sailing warships to sail.

Once encountering a typhoon, it is very dangerous for the sailing warship to go to sea. After boarding the warship, I found that everything was normal.

Zheng Chenggong immediately issued an order:
"Come on, order everyone to board the ship one by one."

"Yes"

Each ironclad battleship can accommodate more than 800 people.

Among them were [-] navy soldiers and [-] Dragon Banner special forces members.

A large sail transport ship can transport 500 people at a time.

Now there are fifty large sailing warships, and there is no problem in transporting 3 horses.

The sailors and the Longqi Special Forces immediately lined up and started boarding the ship.

After the officers and men boarded the ship, the bow artillery of the eleven armored warships immediately aimed at the target on the beach.

That's where the stake of the orang-haired cross was erected.

The two red-haired plants were nailed to the cross on the wooden stake. After being baptized by the sea breeze overnight, they were almost dried up by the sea breeze, and they were dying at this time.

Suddenly seeing more than a dozen warships on the sea pointing their guns at them, the two red-haired fans widened their eyes.

It turned out that the Ming army really wanted to use them to sacrifice cannons. Hongmaofan was scared to pee at that time, and wanted to call out to their master to save his life.

But with his mouth blocked, he couldn't make a sound at all, he could only hum and twist his body non-stop.

"Rumble..."

Suddenly the guns began to roar, and several shells escaped.

Cannons hit mosquitoes, and the target is too small to hit with a single shot.

The first few shells whizzed past Hongmaofan and missed the target.

It's fine to just smash the red-haired fan with one shot.

But seeing the shells whizzing by, they can only wait for death and cannot avoid it. This is a great fear and suffering for Hongmaofan.

Standing on the deck of the battleship, Shi Lang never ordered the Wendi to fire. He knew that it was impossible to smash the target with one shot.

Seeing other battleships attacking their targets one after another, a smirk suddenly appeared on Shi Lang's face:

"Send the order, the Wendi ship will turn right and fire a volley."

"Yes"

The Wendi suddenly turned its rudder, and 24 naval guns fired a salvo, which immediately smashed the two red-haired sailors into pieces.

Just as Huang Fei wanted to order the Chongzhen to bombard again, he suddenly found that the target had been smashed to pieces. Following the sound of the guns, he saw Shi Lang looking at him with a proud face.

Huang Fei was speechless and could only make a gesture to Shi Lang.

The distance between the two warships was a bit far, Shi Lang didn't see Huang Fei's hand gesture clearly, and hurriedly raised his binoculars to look at Huang Fei with a smile.

It turned out that one of Huang Fei's middle fingers appeared in the telescope, and he even waved it at Shi Lang.

After the cannon sacrifice, Zheng Chenggong gave an order:
"Order to leave [-] warships at Liuluo Bay, ready to supply the frontline warships at any time.

All armored warships are in front, and sail warships are behind, sending troops to Taiwan's main island. "

"Yes"

Ming warships don't need semaphore, each of their warships is equipped with a walkie-talkie, which makes commanding much more convenient.

Thirty warships immediately braved the wind and waves to sail to the main island of Taiwan.

However, just over an hour after the fleet advanced, the sea surface suddenly turned up with huge waves, and the sky was also full of strong winds.

The sails of the sailing battleship would be blown off by the storm, and the battleship could hardly move forward.

All the sailing warships shook violently up and down on the sea surface, like a small leaf floating in a violent storm.

Ironclad battleships are not a big problem, they are not only huge, but also heavy.

Without sails to keep out the wind, the ironclad battleship can rely on power to continue moving forward, even so the giant ship is bumping up and down in the huge waves.

The soldiers on the deck of the battleship had all gone into the cabin of the battleship to take shelter when the wind blew up.

Seeing the typhoon approaching suddenly, Shi Lang cursed angrily:
"Nimma, you really shouldn't sacrifice cannons with red-haired pans. It turns out that the sea god doesn't like such ugly sacrifices."

If you want to regain Taiwan, crossing the Taiwan Strait safely is only the first step, and the next landing battle will be even more difficult.

In any case, Ming must take Taiwan, and then use Taiwan as a base to march towards Southeast Asia and Malacca.

If a small typhoon can prevent Ming from recovering Taiwan, how can we talk about conquering Southeast Asia and marching into Malacca.

In fact, based on Zheng Chenggong's experience, it is completely possible to avoid sending troops to Taiwan in such an environment.

But this time the typhoon came too fast, so we could only judge based on experience.

Unlike we now have satellite cloud image analysis reference, this is not Zheng Chenggong's fault.

This batch of Daming Navy is all elite, and it was decided not to cause serious non-combat attrition, which would cause the Daming Navy to suffer heavy losses.

Otherwise, I will not be able to explain to the emperor, let alone marrying the princess, I may lose my life.

Zheng Chenggong's gaze became more and more resolute. After making up his mind, he immediately grabbed the walkie-talkie and ordered:
"Zheng Hongkui listened to the order and must lead all the sailing warships to immediately return to Liuluo Bay to take shelter from the wind. When the typhoon stops, immediately send troops to support us. There must be no mistakes!"

Zheng Hongkui is Zheng Chenggong's uncle and the commander of the sailing warship.

As an experienced pirate, he was very clear about the situation in front of him, and he knew that if he took a risk, the whole army might be wiped out.

"Yes, governor, don't worry, the general will lead the sailing warship back to Liuluo Bay immediately, and you should come back together, don't take any risks, and the emperor didn't set a specific time."

"I know what to do and execute the order."

"Yes"

He was also concerned about Zheng Chenggong and worried about his nephew's accident.

Of course Zheng Chenggong knew that his uncle cared about him, but he had already seen that there was nothing wrong with the iron-clad battleship.

The typhoon doesn't have a great impact on their iron-clad battleships now, but it has a fatal impact on Hong Maofan's sailing warships.

The Ming army can take the opportunity to wipe out the Hongmaofan fleet in one fell swoop.

"Order, the iron-clad warships quickly pass through the Taiwan Strait and attack the red-haired fleet."
