Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 717 Will anyone remember what I did today?

Xiao Wu hadn't fought a war for many years, but he didn't panic, and calmly encouraged his subordinates, "Don't be afraid, we have the guns given by His Majesty, even if the port cannot be defended, the miners in Jinshan Governor's District can be armed, Don't be afraid of the red-haired barbarians at all, the Great Ming is all victorious!"

"Da Ming Wansheng!"

"Da Ming wins!"

Amidst the shouts, the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the Ming colony rose again.

Zhu Kezang never imagined that the soldiers and immigrants he sent were still on the way, and New Spain would come to them first.

At the same time, the armed merchant ships and warships of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the Spanish fleet at sea, opened the gun windows almost simultaneously, sticking out the pitch-black cannons.

The war has begun!

Boom boom boom!
Inside and outside the port, the sides of the two sides bombarded each other, and the shells fell into the sea, raising a column of water several feet high.

New Spain's navy demonstrates superb fish frying skills!
After today, it is estimated that a large number of fish near Jinshan Port will die.

The technical level of the sailors in New Spain is average, and the missed shells splashed water.

On the other hand, the sailors on the Ming warship were obviously well-trained.

The explosive shells they fired, a large number of shells hitting the side of the ship, smashed the Spanish warship with sawdust, causing casualties on the deck.

The armed merchant ships of the Ming merchants were on a par with the New Spain fleet, and they basically failed to hit their opponents.

But it didn't prevent them from cheering, because the Ming warship performed well.

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty have always been the strong backing of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

This is the first battle between the soldiers and civilians of Ming Dynasty in Jinshan City since they came to Yinzhou!
The guns of the two armies on the sea continued to shoot at each other, while on the shore turret, Daming's gunners operated the artillery, desperately bombarding the Spanish warship. Under the continuous shelling, the artillery was red and hot.

There are too many enemy warships, which means that the enemy has a lot of artillery. Even if Daming's gunners are of a higher level, it is difficult to be outnumbered!

"Why did the Spaniards call here?"

Seeing the spectacular and terrifying scene on the sea, the deputy, Lao Bian, was puzzled.

About six years ago, the two sides were still on the negotiating table to sign the "Mingxi America Trade Agreement", and they also stated that there was no limit to the cooperation between the two parties. Why did they suddenly start doing it?

Lao Bian suddenly understood: a gold mine must be a gold mine, these shameless red-haired barbarians!
Governor Xiao Wu observed the battlefield and found that the Spanish fleet had the upper hand. They had a total of fifteen third- and fourth-tier warships, and there were probably seven to eight hundred artillery pieces in total!

Daming is completely at a disadvantage here.

Xiao Wu said in a deep voice: "Old Bian, the red-haired barbarians must want to seize our gold mines. I don't think the harbor can be defended. You should bring people to notify the units first, and prepare for street fighting!"

Hearing that Spain was going to rob the gold mines, Lao Bian showed a ferocious face, and showed his ruthlessness to destroy the cannibal tribes, "The red-haired barbarians want to rob the gold mines, I will fight them!"

Immediately, Lao Bian led people to Jinshan City to mobilize gold miners and troops.

Soon, in Jinshan City, alarm bells rang loudly.

On the city wall, there were two Ming miner brothers who looked very young. They held muskets, and when they saw the artillery battle on the sea, their eyes showed a little fear.

They are still young and have never experienced a real war in the era of hot weapons.

Normally, they would go hunting with muskets, but suddenly it was difficult for them to face the Spanish army.

Fortunately, Ming Dynasty had a militia system, and miners like them were taken away by the Ming army for training for a few days from time to time.

Although the fighting power is average, but at least it can fight.

It's just that they rarely saw artillery roaring in front of their eyes, and their guns trembled a little.

"Brother, can we miners beat the Hongmaoyi?"

"Youngest, don't be shy, Grandpa Qi's soldiers are also miners, and we miners have strength."

"But boss, you're shaking too!"

"Back to the north! It's all your fault. When I saw you trembling, I trembled too!"

As the two miner brothers unknowingly chatted, the sense of fear subsided a lot.

"Brother, tell me, will anyone remember what they did today?"

The younger miner had a serious face, pointing to the very few Daming Navy and said.

"It will definitely, even if the brothers of the Ming Navy died in battle, they will be listed in the Martyrs' Shrine, and His Majesty will avenge them!"

"I trust Your Majesty!"

"Then pick up your guns, we brothers will kill more enemies than whoever."

"it is good!"

Similar conversations are happening all over the city walls.

The morale of the Ming army and civilians is slowly recovering.

At this moment, on the flagship of the Spanish fleet, the governor of New Spain, Bartolomé, took out his binoculars and stood on the flagship deck overlooking Jinshan Port.

This time, the fleet commander of New Spain is old with Ming!

"Shoot salvo, destroy the Daming people here!"

New Spain Colonel Paulo de Vargas Huertado said through gritted teeth.

The name of this person looks familiar!
He is the son of Juan, the governor of Luzon who was destroyed humanely by Daming!
Thanks to his father's help calling the door, Da Ming was able to regain the entire island of Luzon without any difficulty.

His father's shame and stain, he even dreamed of washing away!

The Far East is the doorstep of the Ming people. He admitted that it is difficult for Spain to defeat Daming in the Far East, and it is also difficult to retake Luzon, but in the New World, at the doorstep of Spain, it is different.

Fleet Commander Paul is very confident in destroying this group of Ming pagans to vent his hatred and avenge his father.

He is confident because New Spain has enough information. The Ming colony has only five warships, and the regular army has only 1000 people!

The rest are ordinary Daming people.

According to the experience of the Spaniards in Luzon, ordinary Ming people are easy to deal with.

After all, in Manila back then, tens of thousands of their parents were killed, which is no different from the massacre of indigenous people in Central America!

He couldn't wait to destroy the Ming people in front of him and avenge his father.

The governor of New Spain, Bartolomé, seemed to see his thoughts, "Paul, calm down, the number of enemies is not as good as ours, if we fight slowly, they will surely lose."

"Yes, Lord Governor!"

At this time, the huge New Spain fleet was fully deployed on the sea, forming a majestic long snake formation that made the Ming Navy despair.

But for a while, the outcome of the sea has not yet come out.

There is the Ming fleet in the harbor, and there are coastal defense batteries on the shore. The Spanish warships dare not approach and shoot, because the order of the governor of New Spain, Bartolomé, is that stability prevails, and you can win if you fight slowly.

Therefore, the two sides fired at each other from a long distance, the hit rate was not high, and the effect of the shelling was not ideal.

Now, Ming's sea power is besieged in the port, and they can't run away, they can only fight to the death.

The Spanish warships fired guns one after another, bombarding Jinshan Port, more than 700 artillery bombarded, and the smoke filled the sea!
The scene shocked the Ming immigrants watching the battle in the city.

Some people are crying because their relatives are fighting hard on the warship!
"Mother, can Daddy come back?"

A little girl of Ming-Yin mixed race cried and asked her Yin mother.
