Daming daddy

Chapter 318

After this battle, the Dutch lost at least 120 warships, their strength was greatly reduced, and they retreated to the small island where they were hiding.The Ming army that followed them also found the island and carried out violent bombardment.Later, due to insufficient ammunition and the coastal defense guns of the Dutch, they returned to Guangzhou Harbor.When Wei Ming received the battle report, he let out a long sigh of relief.Finally, it didn't make a big mistake.Lu Xiangsheng next to him was also a little ashamed.If he followed his style of play, even if he could win this time, it would be a miserable victory.Even now, the Ming army has sunk and injured more than [-] ships, which can be said to have injured the enemy one thousand and self-damaged eight hundred.

Wei Ming didn't mean to blame Lu Xiangsheng.No one knows what will happen next, it's all guesswork and conjecture.This thing is similar to buying gambling. If you guess correctly, you will gain a lot.If you can't guess correctly, you will lose your capital.As long as you don't lose all your capital, there is always hope.The reason why Wang Baobao was able to be called a famous general back then was because of his repeated defeats and defeats.When a general is facing a defeat, he can view himself correctly, sum up his experience and lessons, clear up his mood and fight again, this is a kind of success.Lu Xiangsheng is still growing, and Wei Ming believes that he will become a successful general and a famous navy general in the future.

But after that, Wei Ming felt worried again.Li Dan also joined the camp of the Dutchmen, or the side of the rebels in the Ming Dynasty, so what about other forces?For example, Yan Siqi, who is still on the island of Taiwan, has he also joined that camp?It's hard to say.

"Is there any movement from Yan Siqi's side?" Wei Ming said.

"There is no movement. Since he was appointed as the commander of the Taiwan Navy, he has been developing Taiwan according to his duties, establishing bases there, reclaiming fields, and appeasing the natives. He has not missed the taxes he should pay, and there is nothing he should do. Do less. There should be no problem!" Lu Xiangsheng thought for a while and said.

"Have you sent someone over to look at it? Or, have you put people around him?" Wei Ming was still a little worried.

"Send someone to look at it, and it was An Bangyan who went there. He also reported these things when he came back, so there shouldn't be any problem. As for the deployment of manpower, the general also had this idea. But the people who were sent there were all put in sacks He sent it back, and Yan Siqi also spoke. Now that he has taken refuge in the imperial court, he will do what he should do in a peaceful manner. He will not overstep, and he does not want us to do something that will make him unhappy. Things. Putting people in is distrusting him. If you don’t trust him, why make him the commander of the navy? After that, this matter will be over.” Lu Xiangsheng said.

Wei Ming nodded.An Bangyan is trustworthy. Since he said that, it means that there is no big problem with Yan Siqi in Taiwan.Or, at least he is not ready to turn against the court yet.In this case, Wei Ming has no reason to provoke him, comfort is the most important thing now.As for how to treat Yan Siqi in the future, we have to wait until all the dust settles.As for the matter of manpower placement, Wei Ming was quite open about it.Lu Xiangsheng may have worked hard, but when it comes to espionage and counter-espionage, Lu Xiangsheng is a layman at all, and it is not surprising that Yan Siqi saw through it.It's fine to get a few people from Dongfang Xiaomo later, it's not a big deal.Wei Ming hates the feeling that things are out of his control, and I believe every superior thinks the same way.

I stayed in Guangzhou for another half a month, preparing to give the Dutchman the final blow.And just when it was about to launch an offensive, something happened to the north.I had already thought that something would happen, so naturally there was nothing surprising about it.
"Weihou, the Mongols raised [-] troops to attack the Datong line of the Xuanfu, and Huang Taiji also raised [-] troops to attack Liaoyang. However, the situation is not very urgent. The Mongolian frontline is defended by the newly appointed Xuanda Governor Yang He, and Liaoyang has Sun Jinglue preparing for the battle. , the other party will not get any benefits. What your majesty means is that Wei Hou can control the affairs of the southern country, and make his own decisions about the northeast and northwest. There is also a letter from Sun Jinglue, please Weihou check and accept it. He took out a letter from his pocket and said.Wei Ming really didn't expect that it would be silent to deliver the order to himself.After reading Sun Chengzong's letter, it was probably to reassure himself about the north, and focus on the south. His old bones can still play a little bit of residual heat, and he will definitely defend the north before the war in the south is annihilated, and will not let the enemy plunder. Walk halfway through the land.Wei Ming believes that Sun Chengzong has this ability.Wei Ming didn't know much about Yang He, except that he had a famous son, Yang Sichang.

"Why did you come to deliver the decree to me? Doesn't the emperor need protection?" Wei Ming said with a playful smile on his face.It can be regarded as an old relationship with Wuyan, who doesn't know who, so naturally there is no need to be so polite.

"The emperor asked me to come. He said that he was reassuring of me and that I would not be robbed." Wu Yan still had such a dead face, he didn't know how to laugh or cry, chatting with such a person was a very difficult task. Nothing interesting.Without a few words, there was silence, Wei Ming shook his head helplessly, and had no choice but to let Wu Yan go on.Wu Yan doesn't think it's a stick, all the things that should be done are done, why don't you go?
"The south and the north are at war, and now is the emptiest time in the country. If you want to take action, it is now. Send an order to Wen Tiren, let him be careful, and don't be fooled by others. Ying Tianfu is here, we Guarantee his prosperity and wealth. If Ying Tianfu is no longer here, let him come to see you!" Wei Ming said to the messenger.

"Promise!" The little soldier responded, then picked up his bag, rode a fast horse and rushed to Tianfu.Wei Ming stared at the small island buried in the sea on the sand table, frowned, and remained silent for a long time.Originally, this small island didn't exist on the sand table, but it was added when the Dutchman's hiding place was discovered.This small island is not big, with a radius of only twenty square kilometers.On one side is a cliff, and behind the cliff is a dense forest.Wei Ming didn't dare to say anything in the dense forest.Thinking back when he was in college and watched Master Pei's video, he had experienced the power of the jungle, so he didn't plan to go up here.On the other three sides, there are three places suitable for landing.In these three places, the Dutchmen have deployed a considerable number of coastal defense guns and built watchtowers. It seems impossible to sneak past them.Then there is only a forced attack.In fact, there is nothing special about attacking forcibly, at most a few people will die.If there is really no other way, Wei Ming plans to attack from the front.Breaking through a point and encircling the Dutchmen in their camp, the matter is considered over.As for what the Dutch side will say in the future, never mind!What else can he say?declare war?Do you really think that you will fail if you are afraid?Even if you don't declare war, I will go to find you in ten or twenty years.At that time, don't kneel down and lick your feet and beg for mercy.

"Master Hou, everything has been arranged, and we can launch an attack at any time!" Lu Xiangsheng came in excitedly.This time, he absorbed the lessons of the last time, and prepared more than [-] warships to go to sea to besiege the island where the Dutchman was.The task of attacking the navy this time is to open up the road to landing.And it was the Marine Corps that really showed their talents.The Marine Corps was led by Lu Xiangsheng himself, brought out by himself, and trained.The only time the Marine Corps played was in Liaodong last year.That didn't play at the level of the Marine Corps at all, and Lu Xiangsheng expressed various dissatisfaction.This time, he must flex his muscles and let everyone see that the army he brought out is definitely an elite!It's also good to show your face in front of Wei Ming.

"Are you ready? The weather won't change much in the next few days, right?" Wei Ming said.Fighting sea battles depends more on the face of God.If God is kind to you, then there are still some fights.If God doesn't like you, then no matter how many people you send out, they will feed the fish.

"I've read it, and there shouldn't be any problem. However, Lord Hou, it's really hard to say about this kind of thing. All the old people in the sea know that Dahai is an unpredictable guy, and he might turn his face and deny anyone at any time." Lu Xiangsheng said.

"If you are 70.00% sure, you can fight. How about war, when will you be [-]% sure? Now that you are ready, let's set sail!" Wei Ming put on his armor and left the tent.This time, he is also going to take a look to see how capable the navy he has assembled is, and to experience the feeling of a naval battle.You can't even set up a navy and never go to the sea, so if you say it, you won't be laughed to death.
