Win the Ding 1617

In this confrontation between the Dutch and the Chinese sea power, the Chinese won!

And win the swagger, the wind and the wind.

Ten plywood ships from the fleet of the Dutch East India Company and a Chinese-style warship they called the "Junke Ship", and fifty or sixty warships from the Liu Xiang gang as mercenary allies, except for the flagship Middelburg All but one were annihilated, captured, sunk, or burned.

The first battle was in Liuluo Bay, the second battle was in Nan'ao Island, and the third battle was in Brother Island. In three battles, the Dutch lost all their sea strength.

In the original history, according to the "Diary of Batavia City" written by the Dutch themselves, there were about a hundred Dutch people captured.It can be seen that the Netherlands failed in this naval battle, and it can be said that it suffered heavy losses.According to Zou Weilian, the governor of Fujian Province, he reported: "110 and eight barbarians were captured alive, [-] barbarians were killed, five giant ships were burned, and one giant ship was captured. Destroyed more than [-] barbarian boats, and seized armor, swords, compasses, charts, etc. There are records. However, the corpses of barbarians who were shot dead before and after were dragged away by barbarians. .”

However, under the huge butterfly wings of Shou Han, the comparison between the sea power of the Ming army and the sea power of the Netherlands has undergone tremendous changes, and the result of this naval battle has also deviated a lot.Among other things, the Dutch governor of Taiwan, Putesman, led a dilapidated Middelberg to flee to the Netherlands along the line of Ma Gong and Da Yuan under the escort of the Navy of the South China Army. The base of human beings is Chixian City.

A big win!

Nearly two-thirds of the sailors and soldiers of Liu Xiang's gang were captured alive, and more than forty ships, large and small, became trophies of the South China Army.

In the fleet of the East India Company.Of the five ships led by Putesman who managed to escape from the sea of ​​fire in Liuluo Bay, one was sunk, and the other three were all captured alive.More than [-] Dutchmen were captured.

Nan'ao Island has become a big barracks!

As far as the eye can see, there are soldiers and sailors with helmets and armor everywhere, faces full of joy and pride of victory. The densely packed masts in the harbor and bay seem to turn the sea into forest overnight.

In the General Military Mansion built in the fourth year of Wanli, there are two handsome flags hanging high on the flagpoles in the square in front of the gate, one with the character Li and the other with the character Zheng.

Take the flagpole as the center line.There are two rows of soldiers on both sides.From the flagpole all the way to the lobby of the General Military Mansion.

Poor South Australian Deputy Chief.Now it has almost become like a land of mountain gods in Journey to the West, driven by powerful and powerful demons to raise bells, drink horns, and patrol mountains to watch the wind. Accidentally caused a murder to himself.

After Shou Han landed on Nan'ao Island to celebrate his victory, Zheng Zhilong crossed the Fujian-Guangdong Sea.Also, the smoke of gunpowder on the sea surface of Brothers Islet has not yet cleared.The burning plank was still emitting green smoke.Got here.

The situation on the battlefield, Chen Peng, Hu Mei and others introduced to Marshal Zheng Zhilong, especially the seven warships of the South China Army besieging the four plywood ships.One was sunk and three were captured, and explained to Zheng Zhilong.

"This Nanzhong Army navy gunboat is so sharp!"

Hearing his subordinates say that there is a cannon that can break the mast with one shot, Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but gasped.

"Marshal Li is also a favor for us to help us. He came to help from a long distance. It is really rude for us not to pay a visit."

It was partly a courtesy call, partly with a sense of bragging rights and showing off strength. In the early morning of the next day, Zheng Zhilong's navy appeared on the water surface of Nan'ao Island in a mighty manner.

As a result, Nan'ao Island, which was already crowded by the South China Army, suddenly came with more than ten thousand sailors and hundreds of ships, making it even more crowded.Soldiers and sailors are everywhere, from Yandun, which serves as an alarm and watchtower by the sea, to the general town mansion, to Wupingzhai, Yungai Temple, and Nanshan Temple, which is being expanded from the Huoshen Temple to a formal temple.Beside the Song Well, which is only 10 meters away from the turbulent sea, there is a long queue of people fetching water to wash their faces and replenish fresh water on board.This well is said to be excavated in the first year of Jingyan in the Southern Song Dynasty. The water quality has always been pure and sweet, and it has been kept for a long time without deterioration, so it has been used as the first choice for fresh water storage by ships.

The baggage personnel of the two companies purchased fresh supplies from the islanders on Nan’ao Island who lived on the sea: mackerel, pomfret, red sea bream, grouper, nutritious and delicious sailfish, and tuna.The few sharks that only exist in the depths of the sea make these people who are haunted by the wind and waves can't help but click their tongues, "I'm afraid there are thousands of catties, tens of thousands of catties?!" Compared with the huge sea shark, the sunfish weighing hundreds of catties is a little childish.As for the common shellfish along the coast of Fujian, such as Dongfang snails, Tengu snails, mud clams, Meretrix meretrix, and flower clams... they can only be piled up in baskets at the corner of the street, exuding a burst of fishy smell.This island has always been dependent on the sea for hundreds of years. The arrival of two armies of nearly 2 people made it see a huge business opportunity, and it was immediately freed from the fear and panic of war and artillery fire. It changed from a coastal coastal defense fortress into a commercially prosperous town overnight, and the streets were bustling with traffic.

The fisherman girl with a basket selling longan, citrus, and sugar cane listened to the crisp and sweet sound of Tong Bao in her pocket when they collided with each other, and her face was reddened by the sea breeze with a happy smile; her skin was dark and her muscles were tangled like a tree. The root fisherman, ignoring to wipe the clear snot from his flat nose, just counted the silver dollars in his hand for selling the catches he caught overnight.The big basket in front of him is full of grouper that is still twisting its body, and then there is a huge tuna.In the depths of the streets and alleys, some soldiers of Zheng Jun went to the homes of a few women who made a living by selling laughter to solve their physical problems.

The ones with more active minds on both sides used this rare leisure time to set up street stalls and sell or exchange the goods they brought.

However, to the surprise of the sailors of the South China Army, the fastest movers turned out to be their surplus supplies: canned pork, ham, bacon, canned fruit, and salted eggs.There are even Baotian Pills, which are popular items in Zheng Jiajun's eyes.

"Grandma Pu! At sea, fish is boiled in seawater every day. Today I bought this porcelain pot of meat and salted duck eggs. I can adjust the taste when I come back to eat!"

On the side of the square in front of the Zongbing Mansion, a decades-old banyan tree has a lush canopy covering a large area of ​​shade, and countless thin air roots hang down from the branches, some of which have already reached the ground. On the ground, some have been deeply rooted in the soil and become a part of absorbing nutrients for the big tree.

On the two thickest branches of the canopy.Two large flags are tied.The flag hangs from the tree so that people can read the words written on the flag.

"Recruitment".

"Recruit sailors"!

On Nan'ao Island, where "everyone can be a thief, and every household can hide traitors", such scenes are not uncommon.From Wu Ping to Lin Feng and Li Dan.To Liu Xiang who passed by here not long ago.They once set up a recruiting flag here to recruit sailors and soldiers who can haunt the sea and fight the boats.

Raise the recruiting flag.Own food recipients.

Two long dragons snaked and stretched from the General Military Mansion to the city gate.

Under the recruiting flag were Zheng Zhilong's subordinates, who eloquently explained the benefits of joining Zheng's army to the young men.

The one that says Sailor Recruitment Office is naturally a member of the Navy of the South China Army.Unlike the Zheng family's spiel, the naval officers of the South China Army did not tout their own benefits, but let the facts speak for themselves.

In the open space between the banyan tree and the flagpole, a row of six cooking carts were placed there, and there were seven or eight temporary pots and stoves beside them, steaming hotly.Through the bamboo lid on the barrel pot, white water vapor is coming straight out. In the huge wooden barrel, the aroma of rice wafts around, making the children watching the excitement sniff their noses and greedily. Smell the pure taste of rice.Several large pots were rolled and licked by the tongue of fire at the bottom of the pot. The inside of the pot was randomly cut into huge pieces of meat and soup by rough fire soldiers, and it rolled together with the soup, making people drool; The fire soldier used a huge shovel to stir-fry slices of fat meat that were as wide as a child's palm in the pot. The slices of meat were stir-fried together with chili peppers, and the children sucking their fingers and looking around were watching with a provocative aroma.

Seeing that the child on the side was about to plunge headlong into the pot, an elderly fire soldier couldn't help feeling a little bit moved, "Oh! Poor child!" He picked up two huge iron rice bowls from the bamboo basket beside him. , put a bowl of rice in the bowl vigorously, scooped two spoonfuls of meat from a big pot that was constantly tumbling broth, and handed it to the head of a child, "Go! Eat over there !” He pointed to the blue stone bench under the banyan tree.

The children cheered happily, carrying the meal given by the bearded uncle, and ran to the column of the South China Army, which was recruiting sailors, waiting to see if their father, uncles and brothers could find something to do here.

"Dead boy! Where can I get good food?!" A person who was queuing up in the line couldn't help feeling angry when he saw this scene. "We are poor, but we have to rely on ourselves for every meal. How do you steal other people's things?"

Some children who were so scared by their elder brother that they didn't react had time to speak up, a team officer who was maintaining order next to him scolded the conscript, "What are you yelling for? That's what we feed the children, don't care about you?!"

"Boy, if you are picked up in a while, do you see it?" The team officer pointed at the temporary kitchen in the back with the short knife scabbard in his hand, "There are so many delicious things, I'm afraid your stomach is not big enough! "

"Officer, I came here without breakfast!" Someone said with a playful smile.

"Go! Even if you haven't eaten since you were born, it will still fill you up today! I'll tell you, you'll eat this every day from now on!"

The power of example is endless.

Seeing the children who have not yet reached their chests holding rice bowls almost the size of a human head in their hands, and walking past the queue, their faces covered with grains of rice and oily shine, people suddenly made a choice .

"Whoa!"

The team of sailors recruited by the South China Army suddenly doubled in size, and there was a lot of noise, shouting, and shoving in the team.

Those children held their jobs in their hands and watched the people in the team constantly pushing and shouting, and couldn't help laughing. They didn't know that they had become the protagonists of the recruitment advertisements of the South China Army.

"Bastard!"

A [-]-year-old boy, under the protection of several personal soldiers, waved the small leather whip in his hand angrily and lashed at the people who were foraging in the South Central Army's ranks.Although the strength was not great, it also caused a few people who tried to join the team to cover their heads and faces.

"Baga! I make you traitors!"

The mandarin with a Fujian accent mixed with Fusang dialect in the little boy's mouth kept spewing out, along with the curse words, and the small leather whip kept waving in his hand.

The person who was beaten by the little leather whip in his hand couldn't help but his eyes were burning, and he planned to go forward and use his fists to teach this bastard who didn't know the principle of people walking up to high places and water flowing down to low places, but look at the short and thick guys behind that kid , with a long knife on his waist and clogs on his feet, the soldier could only swallow his bad breath back into his stomach resentfully.

"Your Highness Fukumatsumaru! Your Highness Fukumatsumaru! Please appease your anger!" The soldiers behind him trotted all the way to him and kowtowed to him on the ground, begging him to put away his thunderous anger.

"I've met the young marshal!" The two chief executives Zheng Jiaqian who were in charge of recruiting recruits hurried over to salute His Royal Highness Fukumatsumaru.

"Baga! The commander-in-chief asked you to recruit troops here, how do you do things!" Looking at the team of recruits who were recruited from the opposite side, they were obviously inferior.Fukumatsumaru's small chest heaved in anger.The small whip in his hand kept whipping in the air, making whirring noises, venting the anger in his heart.

An unlucky Qian Zong was brought by the whip, and a bloodstain immediately appeared on his face.But I dare not make mistakes.He had no choice but to defend himself.

"Young Marshal. You can't blame us for this. The Marshal has something to tell you. You can only recruit. You can't recruit by force. Look." He took out a piece of paper from the belt of the armor and handed it to His Royal Highness Fukumatsumaru.

"This is the condition for recruiting sailors on the opposite side."

On the white paper is clearly and neatly printed an advertisement for recruiting sailors with rich pictures and texts. A sailor can get a salary of five silver dollars a month. During the battle, there is also a wartime allowance called rations. Three meals, three meals with oil, two meals with meat, one meal with sugarcane wine, and enough rice.Seasonal clothes are distributed every quarter. When going to sea, you can also carry goods that are no more than [-] kilograms or no more than one piece of cloth for overseas trade, exempt from customs duties.

"Also, the other side said that if the recruiter can read and understand basic calculations, he can pass the exam and go to the Naval Academy for training. When he comes out, he will be a bosun or sail officer. The opposite side eats well and pays more than us I gave a lot, so..." Mr. Qian was a little stunned, and he clearly saw Fusongmaru's fair little face flushed.

"Go! Drive me away from their recruitment office! Tear off their broken flag!"

"Young Commander! You can't! The Commander is discussing matters with Commander Li in the official residence of the General Army. At this time, it is not allowed to provoke disputes, lest you cause trouble for the Commander and break the command of the Commander. We can't afford it! "

His Highness Fukumatsumaru didn't care about that, and rushed towards the sailor recruiting office on the opposite side, waving a small leather whip.

"Young Marshal! No!" A twelve or thirteen-year-old boy hugged His Royal Highness Fukumatsumaru's impulsive body.

"Shi Lang! You coward! Red deer! A rebel who eats inside and out! Are you going to violate my military order?!" His Royal Highness Fukumatsumaru's wrist holding the whip was tightly pinched by the boy, and the small leather whip in his hand was in Shi Lang's hands. Dancing feebly in front of him.

Na Shilang is the son of Shi Daxuan, a sentinel under Zheng Zhilong and the owner of a small boat. He is from the Yakou of Longhu, Jinjiang, Fujian. Although he is talented, he is naturally active. He cried and shouted to follow Abba on board.The trouble made Shi Daxuan helpless, thinking that it is only natural for a son to inherit his father's career, and it is only right to accompany father and son at sea, and it would be good to have multiple helpers, so he kept his son by his side, and together with Zheng Zhilong's fleet of ships of all sizes, several years of experience at sea, Shi Lang Not only can he sail a boat skillfully, but he also knows the climate, hydrology and geography of coastal waters like the back of his hand.All the uncles in the fleet praised this baby for being born at sea.

As the second generation of Zheng Zhilong's navy, His Royal Highness Fukumatsumaru naturally knew Shi Lang, and they got along pretty well on weekdays.But today, Shi Lang stopped him from smashing the recruiting office of the Nanzhong Army Navy, but His Highness Fukumatsumaru was extremely annoyed!

"That big man! Let go of him! I want to see who has the guts to smash my house and tear up my military flag!"

Surrounded by seven or eight soldiers, Xiao Huamei appeared under the banyan tree angrily, looking fiercely at the two guys opposite with her big eyes burning with fire.

This is how the three children met.

"Who are you?" His Royal Highness Fukumatsumaru was still a little ignorant, he squinted his eyes and looked at the girl who was about the same age as him.

On the contrary, Shi Lang, who went to the mountains to collect firewood since he was a child, and even sold private salt in the salt field by the sea for a few days, has good eyesight, and he can see that the little girl in the navy uniform of the South China Army is not an ordinary person.And one mouthful of my family's, my family's, can this be an ordinary person?

He consciously let go of the arm holding His Highness Fukumatsumaru. Unexpectedly, as soon as he let go, His Highness Fukumatsumaru took advantage of the situation and swayed backwards, and took advantage of the momentum to pull out the short knife on his waist.

"If I don't chop this flag today, I won't be Fukusongmaru!"

And Xiao Huamei was not to be outdone, with a sound of waves, like the roar of a dragon in the deep sea, a short knife struck like a bolt of lightning in the night sky, dazzled the eyes of the onlookers.

"Good knife!"

Shi Lang couldn't help but admired secretly in his heart.Not much else to say, just that the knife is made of iron and steel, and a piece of lapis lazuli is inlaid on the handle, which shows that this knife is very valuable.

"It's over! The young marshal is going to cause a big disaster! I'm afraid this little girl is not the daughter of an important person in the South China Army?!"

Shi Lang began to worry about His Royal Highness Fukumatsumaru! (To be continued..)

ps: Two questions need to be explained. First, who is Fusong Wan?Second, I didn't type Shi Lang's name wrong, but his real name at this time is Shi Lang.
