Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

424. Zheng Ruan Civil War

It is rumored that Wu Shiming is a descendant of the Xuanguang Haoqiang Wu clan in Beihe. Of course, this is just a rumor. The Xuanguang Wu clan was a powerful local tyrant for a while. Even the main mansion can only let it go. Naturally, it is not a pirate who can't get along in the Beibu Gulf.high-speed update

However, Wu Shiming is a good general. He had just defected to Lord Ruan. Then, the rise of the Ming Zheng navy swept across the entire South China Sea. Countless pirates who were stronger than him were either completely wiped out by Ming Zheng or forced to do so. Xiang Mingzheng begged to surrender, only he survived this round of purges as Ruan's chief naval officer.

Of course, he is not the only one who is smart, there are also people who have turned to Lord Ruan in this trend, and many pirates have taken refuge in Lord Ruan very early on.But Master Ruan is not so easy to mess with. Apart from constantly bribing the dissatisfied Shangguan, he doesn't have a penny of salary.Those pirates who couldn't bear it were all exterminated by Zheng Jun's navy who didn't give Master Ruan face. Only a few people, such as Wu Shiming, who had endured hard times, finally achieved golden body and righteous fruit.

However, the naval military officer who has become a serious eighth and paid by the name of Master Ruan has to perform corresponding responsibilities, such as swearing sovereignty in the Rili Sea, Shuncheng Bay, Hoi An Sea, and even further south in the Bin Thong Long sea area during peacetime. Guard the merchant ships at the entrance or something, fight with Lord Zheng or the navy somewhere in Chenla during the war, and so on.

Now that Lord Zheng is making a comeback and knocking on the Hengshan defense line again, Wu Shiming and others will naturally come forward to harass the waters behind Lord Zheng, and then meet Lord Zheng's navy in arms.

However, as soon as they left Tuotang Port, Wu Shiming and his party received bad news that four, four, one, one small and five gunboats flying the blue, red and blue Ming Zheng Navy flags were fiercely blocking the north.Everyone knows that Lord Zheng's going south this time was instigated by Ming Zheng, and now that Lord Zheng is blocking the only way, everyone knows that he has bad intentions.

detour?How to go around, go to the ocean?It must be known that whether it is pirates or officers and soldiers, not to mention Wu Shiming, even the navy of the Qing Dynasty, the number one in East Asia in the past, can only circle around the coast, and has never been able to go deep into the ocean.What's more, if you go deep into the ocean, Ming Zheng can't do it?If you look at their boats and sails, you will know that they are more suitable for ocean sailing.

beat?Are you dizzy?Although Ruan Zhu's navy has hundreds of boats, large and small, they may not have many cannons, and the only cannons they have are small cannons that can shoot hail. Yes, they are full of heavy artillery. One shot can break your keel and sink you directly.With such a comparison of strength, how to fight?

They couldn't fight, and couldn't get around, so, as a last resort, Wu Shiming and others had no choice but to be forced back to Tuotang Port in despair.

Thinking about it, I can always hide if I can't beat it, but Ming Zheng's ship is lingering around the harbor day and night, making everyone feel that something is wrong.Fortunately, in order to defend Tuotang Port, Lord Ruan spent a lot of money to build several forts. With the protection of the forts, Wu Shiming and others were not worried that Ming Zheng's navy would rush into the port directly.

Waiting, waiting, and suddenly hearing that the Zheng Navy had gone south, Wu Shiming and others breathed a sigh of relief and started to move. Although Hoi An Port is not far from Tuo Dang Port, can't they take advantage of this opportunity to sneak out of the port?Ruan Zhu, who believed that the Portuguese fleet held back the Ming Zheng Navy, had a lot of discussions. In the end, the admiral, who felt that it should not be too risky, decided to send only a small number of ships to the north to undertake the harassing mission, so Wu Shiming and the rest of the former pirates, who were not considered direct descendants He was singled out to carry out this "great" task of escaping death.

"Ship, Daming's gunboat." Wu Shiming was still silently praying to the Sea Dragon King, Avalokitesvara, Mazu, and all the gods and Buddhas he could ask for, but the sailor in charge of looking out had already yelled out in horror. "In the south, they're coming from the south."

In September, the southwestern monsoon prevails in the Annan sea area. Although Wu Shiming and others' hard sailing ships can withstand the wind from all directions, they are far inferior to Ming Zheng's soft sailing ships, which can withstand the full force of the wind. Therefore, Wu Shiming immediately ordered: "Hurry up, Come to shore."

"The shore is a rocky beach!" Guan Ruo wailed. "Turn around and run aground"

"Fuck you." Wu Shiming kicked Guan Rudder. "If you don't turn around, you will be caught up by the Daming gunboat, and you will die."

Under Wu Shiming's control, the boat sailed towards the shore immediately, but not everyone was as smart as Wu Shiming. A few who fled northward were quickly caught up by the Mingzheng gunboat, and after a burst of gunfire, they became It became a broken plank floating on the sea.But Wu Shiming had no time to rejoice, his boat ran aground after a tooth-piercing friction sound.

After the ship is over, Master Ruan, who does not support useless people, will naturally not give Wu Shiming another chance.

However, Wu Shiming, who wanted to cry without tears, had no time to think about his future. Looking at the Mingzheng gunboat turning back, he only had time to order: "What are you doing in a daze, jump into the sea quickly, swim to the shore and escape separately."

It's just that Wu Shiming's decision was too late. Although the Mingzheng gunboat hadn't arrived yet, the cannon had already arrived.Although the cannonball is far from the topic, there are benefits to the missed shell. Who knows where the next one will land. Wouldn't it be unfair to Wu Shiming to grit his teeth and raise a white flag if it hits the right direction.

"Zhengchou didn't know the situation in Tuotang Port, so the pilot came to the door by himself." Shi Jiubo, the commander of the leading ship [Jinjiang], laughed when he saw this scene. "Stop the bombardment, and send two eight-oared boats to bring the leader over to me. I didn't expect that the first effort to pry open the Tuodang Harbor was my ****."

"Guangnan thieves really sent people to sneak out of Hong Kong." After receiving the report from the Qiongjia team on the northern tour, Chang Tianyuan showed such an expression on his face. "It's a good opportunity to find, but it's a pity that the boat is too bad."

What Du Hu was concerned about was the tongue he grabbed: "Have you found out about the situation in Tuodang Port? What about the captain of the boat? Bring it here quickly."

Not only Wei Fa but also other ship commanders came across the boat. Of course, the main character was Wu Shiming. Looking at the frightened opponent, Chang Tianyuan asked, "Will you speak the Ming language?"

The answer is yes. After all, Chinese is the lingua franca of the Eastern world in this era: "Don't be afraid, as long as you explain the internal and external situation of Tuotang Port clearly, I will guarantee that your crew will be safe. If you think that Guangnan is not good Wait, I can send you to Jinlan, even if you think of Xiboni."

Wu Shiming didn't know where Xiboni was, but he still knew that Jinlan was in the south of Guangnan. After hearing Chang Tianyuan's promise, Wu Shiming finally felt relieved when he knew that he had made the right fight again. The question is a bit curious, what's going on, is it possible that these Ming people want to rush directly into Tuodang Port?

Curiosity is nothing but curiosity, but Wu Shiming knew that his current life was still in the hands of others, so he replied endlessly: "If the Lord of Shangguo wants to know something, the villain must answer carefully."

Then Wu Shiming told him everything he knew. Tuotang Port is located in the south of Fuchun and north of Hoi An. It was originally a commercial port and a military port. However, Hoi An in the south is relatively famous. In fact, there are not many merchant ships, and now they are taken as an important stronghold by Lord Ruan's navy.Because the distance from Fuchun is only more than a hundred miles, Lord Ruan has always attached great importance to the defense of Tuodang Port.There are forts built on the Han Island in the north and the Shan Tra Peninsula in the south, but the Han Island Fort mainly guards the road leading to Songqu Hebei and Fuchun, and only the Shan Tra Peninsula Fort in the south has a protective effect on the port area.

"The sea area of ​​Tuotang Port is horseshoe-shaped, with its mouth facing northeast. It is nearly [-] miles long from north to south, and [-] miles wide from east to west. Good." Such a good port is a kind of temptation for naval officers, but this place is regarded as the key point of Guangnan, and it is impossible for Master Ruan to cede it out easily. "Shan Cha Fort has twelve cannons, four of which are said to be capable of firing eight catties."

"In addition to the camellia fort, there is also a sandbag fort on the east side of the military port, equipped with eight cannons, and four of them can fire eight-jin cannons." Long enough to be very clear about many things. "There are still 94 large and small ships in the port, the largest of which is no more than 4000 materials, and the smallest is no more than 1 to [-] materials." Although the map drawn by Wu Shiming is very rough and there are many mistakes in the positions, this is already the first of Zheng Jun's navy. I have the information in hand, so the ship commanders present listened attentively. "In addition to the more than [-] sailors in the port, the Ming Lord [Note [-]] still retains a thousand soldiers, half of which are in the fort on Han Island, and the other half are in the camp city west of the Tuodang River."

Situ Da, the ship commander of the "Cao'e River", immediately asked, "How deep is the Tuodang River? How wide is it?"

Wu Shiming thought for a while and replied: "The Tuodang River has not been dredged, so only the mouth of the sea has a depth of nearly 150 feet, and the upward mileage is suddenly less than eleven or two feet. As for the width, the mouth of the sea is about [-] feet deep. One mile, after going up five or six miles, it narrows to [-] steps, but then it divides into two tributaries."

Situ Da has no problem. The depth of two feet and the distance of 180 feet are enough to prevent the west bank from easily rescuing the military port on the east bank.Of course, even if Ruan Jun from the West Bank could arrive in time, Zheng Jun might not be afraid of the opponent's power.

Chang Tianyuan told Wu Shiming to go down to rest after talking about the situation, and then turned to all the ship commanders: "I was forced to retreat by the Folang machine, and I think all the commanders are a little bit unwilling. Get it back, and tell Frangji with the facts, it's not that we're afraid of them, but that we don't want to cause trouble."

"Yes, if you defeat the Guangnan people, give the Frangji people a wink."

Several ship commanders also yelled, among them Qiu Zhihe, the ship commander of the [Qingyijiang], blinked: "Chang Zanhua, Du Guandai, Wei Guandai, and several other adults, I wonder if the adults are there?" I noticed the shape of Tuodang Port, here, that is, the Tuotang Inner Sea, Guangnan people deployed heavy defenses, but here, that is, the outer sea side, there is no defense****”

"Lord Qiu, your idea is very good. Avoiding the truth is false, but that is the Lu division, and our navy uses our own tactics." Chang Tian is far from being arrogant, but because he has limited sailors, It is impossible to separate out a team to carry out a sneak attack. In addition, since the Guangnan people are so confident and do not take precautions, there must be problems. A kind of recklessness. "That's why I decided to knock down the two forts first, and then go straight to Tuodang Port to show the majesty of the navy ****"
