Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

A crescent moon was submerged in thin clouds and smoke. Under the bright and sometimes dark moonlight, a ghostly three-masted sailing ship quietly approached Beishanwei Port, which was full of Qing warships.Speaking of which, this 450-material ([-]-ton) barque was not produced by the Boy Scouts or any shipyard under Zheng's name, but was "sent" by the kind-hearted British, Guizhou and Lebanese to support Ming Zheng. Aspects.Of course, this presently shows that Zheng’s largest plywood ship is an armed merchant ship, and the ship is only equipped with more than [-] cannons of various types. Defeat the Merchant Garen, now named Flying Thunder and formerly known as Siren.

The huge hull gradually approached the commercial port in the moonlight that flickered from time to time. Although Shi Lang repeatedly told his men to be cautious, the unprecedented victory in the Penghu naval battle convinced the Qing army that they had completely wiped out Ming Zheng's navy and gained The long-awaited domination of the Taiwan Strait has been achieved, so except for some of the ship's supervisors, the entire commercial port is almost unguarded, and even these supervisors have already fallen asleep soundly after staying up most of the night.

"Where is it?" Standing on the deck of the Fei Ting, the temporary captain Gong Tian asked the pilot beside him, pointing to the place where the sound of golden drums, shouts, and gunshots came from in the distance.

"My lord, it should be the place where the boy scouts set up their fort on the island." The pilot who was also a boy scout sailor quickly replied. "I guess Qing Gouzi is harassing the brothers. They are really a bunch of cowards. If they can't win, they will do their best."

"What a bad move, isn't there a chapter on exhausting the enemy in every book of soldiers?" Gong Tian responded lightly. "But they're just making a fuss, let's give them a good look." Speaking of this, Gong Tian asked. "Can you turn around at this position?" The pilot looked carefully, and the nighttime was no better than the daytime, and one carelessness would cause grounding. After a long time, he nodded, so Gong Tian ordered. "Turn the rudder to the left and tell the following to prepare to start."

After a while, the huge Fei Ting turned sideways, and the portholes of the gun deck on the left opened one after another, and fourteen guns with the largest [-]-pound and the smallest [-]-pound were aimed at the unsuspecting enemy in front of them.Suddenly, the first cannon spewed out fiery streams of fire, followed by the second and third cannons.

The thunderous explosion caused Wu Ying, who was already asleep, to bounce up from the bed. When he rushed to the window with bare feet, the gunners of the Boy Scouts were already conducting the second round of shelling.Due to the use of hot bombs, the Qing army's ships burned quickly, and the flames soaring into the sky scorched the dumbfounded Qing army with bursts of heat.

"Wu Ying, you're guilty." By the time Shi Lang sent reinforcements, Gong Tian and the others had long since disappeared. The helpless reinforcements had no choice but to arrest the unlucky Wu Ying and go back to work. Looking at this incompetent guy, he woke up from his dream Shi Lang gritted his teeth coldly, intending to use the head of the general soldier to intimidate the entire army if something goes wrong.

"Honorable job, guilty." Wu Ying, who was kneeling in front of the coach's door, could say nothing more. At this moment, he could only bow his head and admit his mistake. "Also ask the military sect to give the lowly officials a chance to make meritorious deeds."

"Take off his cape and feathers." Goha next to Bulao made a move, and Wu Ying tremblingly took off the official cap. "Since you have pleaded guilty, this official is also an employee, so you are allowed to serve in the army to atone for your past crimes." Wu Ying, who escaped from death, bowed gratefully to Shi Lang, and this Shi Lang asked. "See how many ships are there in the sea?"

"There is only one Hongyi plywood ship." Wu Ying reported. "But there are far more cannons on the ship than Haini's own cannon boats and small cannon boats." Wu Ying recalled carefully. "The cannon was also very accurate." But he was in the commercial port after all, so he didn't know the situation of the hot bomb. "Besides, walking while striking, it is obvious that they dare not confront the reinforcements head-on."

"Of course." Shi Lang waved his hand, motioning for Geha to take him down. At this time, his two sons Shi Shixiang and Shi Shiji looked at him in confusion, Shi Lang explained. "In the second year of the Ming Dynasty, Fujian governor Nangong Juyi used fire to attack the ship and burned the Dutch barbarians who invaded Siming. In the sixth year of Chongzhen in the first Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qin's great-grandfather Zheng Gongzhilong, the Marquis of Tong'an, died in Liaoluowan, Kinmen for a hundred years. A fire attack ship burned two large Dutch plywood ships, sank two and captured one, so it can be seen that the plywood ships may be able to rule the roost for a while, but in the face of the large ships, the only way is to flee." Shi Lang thought for a while. "It seems that news came from Macau that Zheng Ni had a falling out with the British, Guilian and Liyi, and detained a merchant ship, which should be this one." But Shi Lang knew that Zheng Kezang had detained the British merchant ship, so naturally he also knew Zheng Kezang. There is a self-made plywood boat in hand. "Pass down the order, and the battalions will redouble their vigilance. If there are any successful counterattacks by the sea, they will be killed!"

Perhaps in Shi Lang's eyes, the plywood boats that can traverse thousands of miles of waterways and come from afar are nothing more than that. As long as you are careful and alert, it will be fine. Perhaps Shi Lang thinks that hundreds of them have been sunk, and the ten or so imitation plywood ships in Zheng Kezang's hands are also sunk. It's insignificant, but after the Fei Ting disrupted the situation, not only was the attack on Beishanwei Island forced to suspend, the Qing army also lost more than [-] ships, and nearly a hundred sailors were in charge, and morale was naturally depressed.

In order to boost the morale of his subordinates and further lure the enemy, after resting for another day, on August 43th, Shi Lang attacked the Dayuan South Channel with a hundred boats, but was attacked by Zheng Jun's Kunshen Fort.Zheng Kezang deployed four four-and-a-half-inch (28-pound) guns, six four-inch (12-pound) guns and four three-and-a-half-inch ([-]-pound) guns on the fort. The firepower is the highest in Dongning. .The Qing army bumped headfirst into the iron plate, and as a result, bullets rained down, and the water column soared into the sky.

At noon of the battle, the Qing army broke into the southern channel at the cost of losing twelve ships, and was crossed by several 36-jin (old-fashioned, [-]-pound) heavy artillery on the head of Anping City and the four-inch artillery on the artillery barracks of Beishanwei Island. Shooting, he had to throw five more warships and retreat in a panic. So far, Shi Lang's temptation failed again.

On the surface, Shi Lang was not reconciled to the failure in the morning, so he sent [-] land troops and General Wucheng Yonggu to North Shanwei Island again in the afternoon, hoping to put pressure on Zheng Kezang on the northern line. The artillery fire of the Qing army, the boy scouts took the initiative to retreat to the artillery fortress, and confronted it with a bastion that the Qing army had never seen before. Although the Qing army reduced the scope of activities of the boy scouts, they left another hundred corpses in front of the bastion , was forced to stop again.

Of course, Zheng Kezang’s side is not all good news. On August 3000, just as the artillerymen of the Zheng Army were beating up the Qing army boats that broke into the southern channel, the messenger sent by Wu Shu sent the prisoners of the Haiqing Army to revolt. The news of chaos.Although the number of captives captured by the rebellious Haiqing Army was only [-], less than half of the number of those who were stationed, and even though the rebellious Haiqing Army’s captives were incomplete and could only use farm tools to revolt, due to the transfer of local flood soldiers and veterans, it still caused a lot of trouble. Small damage, but more importantly, Wu Shu's troops were also restrained, temporarily unable to go south for reinforcements.

"Damn it!" Zheng Kezang cursed angrily, he pardoned these people's hard labor with good intentions, but the reality is so ruthless, or what the famous warrior in later generations said well, the enemy is as cruel as severe winter. "Tell Ding Xibo, after capturing the traitors who are so determined to serve the enemy, all of them will be hanged in front of Paijiatun."

The guards led away, and Zheng Kezang sat on a chair and looked again at the topographic map of Tainan that he had been familiar with for a long time: "What if the boy scouts didn't block Shi Lang in the inner sea? Where will Shi Lang go ashore?"

Although these issues have been discussed repeatedly, Zheng Kezang seems to be wrapped in a hard shell at this moment, and no one can trust him: "Come on, go and call Sun Shiwei."

Sun Youlao, who was transferred back to Anping to take charge of the defense, soon appeared in front of Zheng Kezang: "Sun Qing, Yu decided to lead troops into Tianxing Prefecture."

The haggard-looking Sun Youlao couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then he heard Zheng Kezang say: "Once the Qing army breaks into the inner sea, it will be the end of defeat sooner or later. Defeating the Qing army in a field battle is the only chance to win. It is necessary to concentrate all the forces that can be concentrated, so I am going to take away the remaining forces of the Boy Scouts and Luan Yiwei, and Madam and Baoguan will entrust Sun Qing."

Sun Youlao advised: "It's too risky for the grandsons to do this. With the newly recruited soldiers, how can we fight the Qing captives in a decisive battle? It's better to stay in Anping, or force the Qing army to retreat."

"Retreat after running out of food?" Zheng Kezang shook his head. "Shi Lang is backed by Fujian Province. If Fujian Province is not enough, we can rely on Guangdong and Zhejiang Provinces to consume food and fodder. We can't consume more than him. And once he pacifies Chengtian and other places, we will be like the Dutch back then, no, the Dutch There is still a way out, but we don't have one, maybe in the end, someone should use Yu's head for a way out."

Sun Youlao's face turned pale. He didn't know if Zheng Kezang said this on purpose, but he knew that Zheng Kezang had clearly made up his mind, so he could only bow his head and take orders: "I will live up to my grandson's trust. If the Qing captives want to enter Anping City, they have to climb over the corpses of their ministers first."

"Okay, okay." Zheng Kezang praised repeatedly, and then untied his sword. "It was given to Gu by Zhu Shugui. Gu will be handed over to Sun Qing today. If anyone dares not to obey, Qing can judge himself!"

solitary?This is the first time that Zheng Kezang called himself a widow. Sun Youlao didn't dare to be negligent, so he knelt down to receive the sword. When he took the sword, Zheng Kezang waved his hand in displeasure: "Sun Qing, go alone, alone." I have to tell my wife a thing or two."

On August 900, Zheng Kezang left Anping City and arrived in Tianxing Prefecture with the Boy Scouts and Luan Yiwei. He You, Wang Jingong, Zhang Xueyao and others led the troops back to the army. The guard sacrificed the flag and swore that he would never surrender to the Qing court. The military spirit was awe-inspiring for a moment, but no one knew that Anping City had already sung an empty city plan at this moment, except for Sun Youlao who brought a heavy artillery mark of Luan Yiwei, the ceremonial battalion and Anping City. About [-] guards adorn the facade, all bets are on Zheng Kezang's unknowable battlefield
