Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

On the rippling blue sea, two fast sentinel boats of Zheng Jun were cruising one after the other.Since the Qing army had arrived at Tongshan, everyone knew that a bloody battle was imminent, so the atmosphere on the ship was chilling, and the nervous foreman even went to Diao Dou to act as a lookout, but his purpose was to prevent the Qing army from being discovered. One more day to live.

But it was time to come and finally come back, a shrill call could even be heard from a friendly ship a little further away: "Shi Lang is here!"

Hundreds of masts appeared densely in everyone's sight. This spectacular sight made everyone lose their minds for a moment. The foreman who recovered after a long time cursed again: "What are you doing in a daze? handsome report"

"When the fast-whistle boat discovered the Qing army's boat division, it was in the area of ​​Huayu and Maoyu. According to the speed of the Qing army's ship, it should have spent the night in Babaoyu today." Babaoyu is also called Wang'an Island. Zhu Chenggong took it from here when he conquered Taiwan.

"Bahouyu?" Lin Sheng couldn't believe Chen Liang's judgment. "The terrain of Bahou Island is dangerous and there are many hidden reefs. Shi Lang is also a man who knows how to fight. Isn't he afraid that if there is a strong wind, the ship will be destroyed?" Lin Sheng also has an allusion. The reason why Mongolia failed to conquer Japan It was because of the typhoon, and June is the season with frequent typhoons. He thought that Shi Lang, Zhu Tiangui, and Lin Xian were all from the background of old sea dogs and would never make this mistake. "Will you go south to Lantau (Note: Qimei Island)?"

"What Lin Junmen said makes sense." Chen Qiming also held the same judgment. "Fresh water is scarce on Bahou Island. It is impossible for the tens of thousands of Qing troops not to drink water. It is also impossible to rely on the water transported by ships. Therefore, stopping on Lantau is the most likely."

"It's getting dark, and it's not easy for the express boat to explore again." Liu Guoxuan kept his eyes on the map, and he always felt that something was wrong with Lin Sheng and Chen Qiming's judgment, so he ordered. "But regardless of whether it is Lantau or Bahou Island, the Qing army will definitely attack tomorrow morning, so that all ministries are ready to deal with it, and eat early tomorrow morning."

In the early morning of June 22, the 1683nd year of Kangxi (July 7, 10 AD), Shi Lang's troops appeared on the ocean surface of Niangma Palace (Note: Magong Island). The Ministry is on the left wing, and Lin Sheng's Ministry is on the right wing, each with a rate of more than [-] Fuchuan and [-] Guangzhou Ships each waiting in full force.

Seeing that Zheng's army was ready, Shi Lang immediately ordered his troops to attack first with faster bird boats, trying to disrupt the formation of Zheng's army and then put in the main force to annihilate Zheng's army in one fell swoop.However, the prestige of Zheng Jun's navy is still there, and a considerable part of the Qing army's navy defected from Zheng Jun, and they were related to each other, so they didn't want to just meet each other like this.So after Shi Lang's order was issued, only the seven warships led by the right battalion guerrilla Lan Li and his younger brothers Lan Yao, Lan Yuan, and Lan Zhu broke into Zheng's camp.

Seeing that Lan Li's lone army went deep, Lin Sheng immediately mobilized his boats to besiege them. After a round of artillery fire, all the ships of Lan Li's subordinates were on fire, and then Zheng Jun, who mainly used gang-jumping tactics, leaned in, and the two sides immediately fell into a deadlock. In the brutal hand-to-hand combat.

At this time, seeing that Lan Li had affected Zheng's formation, Shi Lang ordered the second wave of bird boats to continue attacking. The deterrence of Zheng Jun's artillery fire on Jilong Island caused the formation to be chaotic.Seeing such two levels, Lin Sheng and Jiang Sheng immediately outflanked them. The Qing army couldn't handle it.

"Rush up to me!" Seeing that the development of the situation was beyond his expectation, Shi Lang immediately drew out his knife and commanded the ship and other ships to carry out the rescue. The warships also responded, and the two sides either fired guns at each other or jumped into hand-to-hand combat. The battle was once extremely tragic.

"Shi Lang?" Through the gunpowder smoke at sea, Lin Sheng vaguely saw Shi Lang's commander-in-chief's banner and immediately decided to capture the thief first and capture the king first, so the warship under him rushed straight towards Shi Lang's commander-in-chief like an arrow. "Bring the deer blunderbuss here." Lin Sheng snatched a blunderbuss from under his hand, and put Shi Lang firmly on the front sight and rear sight. When the figure on the opposite side was faintly visible, he slammed the trigger in his hand. "Traitors and rebels will die"

Although Lin Sheng aimed well, he was a general after all and not a soldier who often practiced firearms. Therefore, under the huge reaction force, his hands trembled unavoidably, and the lead bullets that escaped did not Hitting Shi Lang, just brought a cluster of sawdust over Shi Lang's head when it penetrated the ship's plank, scratching the corners of his eyes and brows to the point where blood flowed all over his face.

"Damn it!" Lin Sheng cursed in his heart, but announced loudly. "Shi Lang is dead!" Ming Zheng Shiwu, who was full of ships, clamored loudly. The Qing army panicked after hearing this, and Lin Sheng ordered with satisfaction. "Come up! Kill Shi Lang!"

The two boats approached slowly, and Lin Sheng smiled with hope of victory, but he only thought that he could carry out the beheading tactics, and in the eyes of the Qing army, the same "thief" and "king" himself were other people target of beheading.As a result, a cannonball shot from the Qing army boat nearby broke the mast in front of Lin Sheng. The mast fell to the ground and hit Lin Sheng's leg. Lin Sheng screamed and passed out.

Seeing that Lin Sheng was injured and fainted, Zheng Jun's warship ignored Shi Lang who was within easy reach, and hurried to his side. Shi Lang escaped from this, but what was even more unfavorable to Zheng Jun was that Lin Sheng's The flag disappeared along with the mast, and the Zheng army on the right lost its command for a while. When Chen Liang reacted and took over the command, most of the Qing army was able to break through the Zheng army's blocking defense line and fled westward to Xiyu Ocean to regroup.

Of course, Zheng's army was not without gains. After a while of fighting, there were at least 300 warships and more than [-] people from the Qing army. Among them, none of the ships under Lan Li's command escaped, and Lan Li himself was hacked. Injured, Li Qu was captured after a broken stomach, and Zheng Jun only paid seven boats and about [-] casualties.

"Brother Lin, don't be discouraged," Liu Guoxuan and a group of generals visited the injured Lin Sheng at the port of Niangma Palace. "Cultivate well, I will definitely avenge you, and kill that traitor Shi Lang on the Penghu Ocean." Lin Sheng nodded silently. Speaking of this situation, it was his own impulse, otherwise today's battle would have made the Qing army I can't take it anymore. "Come here," Liu Guoxuan ordered seeing Lin Sheng close his eyes. "Send Master Lin back to Dongning to recuperate"

After sending Lin Sheng away, Liu Guoxuan immediately held a military meeting to re-arrange the command of the navy: "Now that Mr. Lin is injured and returns to Dongning to recuperate, then the right admiral of the navy, Mr. Jiang Shengjiang, will lead the team's fifty warships. Chen Liang and Chen Qiming were divided into left and right wings to lead [-] warships each. In addition, Mr. Qiu Huiqiu, the general of Louchuan Town, was the forward of the team and led [-] warships. The officer himself led the rear team Twenty large ships will supervise the battle for your lords."

All the generals took orders one by one, and at this time Liu Guoxuan said: "It is very unwise for Shi Lang to move to the ocean side of Xiyu now. There is a fort of the land division of our feudal clan at the head of Xiyu, which happens to be attacked by the land and water divisions of our feudal clan. The decisive battle will be held tomorrow." depends on the drum"

But Liu Guoxuan was wrong. Because of Fu Weilin's tip-off, the Qing army knew nothing about Zheng Jun's presence in Penghu. Therefore, in the early morning of the next day, when Liu Guoxuan was about to dispatch the entire army to fight Shi Lang's Qing army to the death, But when he got the news that the Qing army was missing, Liu Guoxuan reluctantly withdrew his troops and returned to the camp, and sent more than a dozen fast sentinel boats to scout around.

Due to the large number of ships, the Qing army quickly exposed its position. Upon hearing the news, Liu Guoxuan led the main force of Zheng Jun's navy to go south, stationed in Hujing Islet and Tongpan Islet, and confronted the Qing army's water camp in Babao Islet across the sea.Because of the previous victories, Liu Guoxuan mistakenly believed that the Qing army was vulnerable, so he did not wait for his camp to stabilize before attacking Babaoyu with all his strength.

At this time, the Qing army was waiting for work at ease, taking advantage of the large number of ships. Lin Xian, Zhu Tiangui and other departments cooperated with Shi Lang and fought hard from Chen to noon. With the loss of [-] ships, they returned to Hujing Islet and Tongpan Islet.

That night, Shi Lang carried out a night attack and attacked Zheng Jun's water camp with fire. Liu Guoxuan was caught off guard. Although he fought several times, he finally failed to hold the two islands. After dawn, Liu Guoxuan was forced to retreat to Niangma Palace. There are less than 180 ships, but the Qing army still has nearly [-] ships, and the balance of combat power has begun to tilt.

In the early morning of June [-]th, Shi Lang sent people to surrender in the name of condolences to Liu Guoxuan's injury.

Regarding Shi Lang's plan, Liu Guoxuan clearly rejected it: "Respect Hou Shiming's guerrilla, return to Yanping after death, return to the master and flee, ministers with three surnames, this one is wise enough to turn around, brave to let go of the old, has achieved extraordinary success, and is obsessed with the end. Bu Jichen, Yin Yin is generous, dare not to worship Jia. Guoxuan is old, the king survives and survives, the king dies and perishes, if once he betrays him, he suddenly turns back. Ruoye, a dog and a horse? When you meet at the court, you can’t say enough.”

Although the surrender was pushed back by Liu Guoxuan with acrimonious words, Shi Lang still did not give up the idea of ​​instigating rebellion. He kept sending letters of surrender to the various ministries of Zheng Jun in the name of greeting his old friends. Yao Qisheng also sent People came to lure him to surrender, and under the attack from both sides, the senior military officers in Zheng's army began to waver. Among them, Zuochong Township General Yang De led his troops to defect, which caused a great shock in Zheng's army.

For this reason, Liu Guoxuan once again summoned the generals, and warned earnestly: "With merit, Sangui will be great, but if he withdraws from the feudal clan and dies in embarrassment, he will all be wiped out. Only Lang and Tiangui will survive, pretending to poison me. Yijing, the two will kill each other in the evening. Since the two armies are evenly matched in killing and plundering, the victory or defeat is uncertain, why are you so discouraged that you want to throw yourself into Jin Ruosi? May all the generals fight to the death, so what if we decide to go?"

Liu Guoxuan's earnest words touched the hesitant generals of the Zheng army, and the morale of the army stabilized again. However, at this time, Shi Lang received reinforcements from the mainland, and the total number of warships reached 240. He has an absolute advantage and is not waiting for Zheng Jun Disintegrating from within, on June 22, the final battle began.
