MTL - Han’s Son is Not a Slave-Chapter 1076 Li Laiheng misunderstood me!
Could it be that there is something unspeakable about the Luowan Victory? Or is this great victory the same as the Ningyuan Great Victory back then, and it does not live up to its name?
Chen Yonghua also noticed the weirdness of Gan Hui and the others. He didn't want to talk about this, but when he thought about his student whose title had been cut off, and the surname of the country who had a kindness to him, this made the Zheng family proud enough. The war can never be ignored because of evasion.
Pressing the doubts in his heart, Zhou Shixiang asked Chen Yonghua about the battle of Luowan, and only then did he know why Gan Hui and the others were strange. It turned out that this battle was actually directed by Zheng Zhilong, but Zheng Zhilong is now in Beijing. Therefore, Gan Hui and the others have great taboos on this matter, especially now that King Qi has not formally dealt with Zheng Jing, if mentioning Zheng Zhilong who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty caused King Qi to dislike Zheng Jing, it would be very bad. .
Zhou Shixiang would not dislike Zheng Jing because of Zheng Zhilong's affairs. In his opinion, Zheng Zhilong's surrender to the Qing Dynasty was Zheng Zhilong's surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and it had nothing to do with Zheng Jing and Zheng Xi and other Zheng family descendants. After all, the Zheng family has a patriarch who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, as well as a patriarch who insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty. Zhou Shixiang didn't know how to be small enough to deny everything about the Zheng family because Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and even more denied Zheng Zhilong's past. Furthermore, he has now taken over all the forces left by Zheng Sen, including the Second Division of Land and Water. Among them, there are many generals brought out by Zheng Zhilong, and there are more Zheng family members. If no one else said it, they would say that Zheng Xi, the newly appointed Prince of Fujian, was the son of Zheng Zhilong, and Zheng Mingjun and Zheng Zanxu, who were named dukes, were also Zheng Zhilong's nephews. Only from the perspective of political level and unity of Zheng family, in the future, Zhou Shixiang may have to show goodwill to Zheng Zhilong. Of course, the premise is that Zheng Zhilong will not be killed by the Qing Dynasty as in the original history.
Zhou Shixiang asked a lot about the battle of Luoluowan. Of course, the two Dutch fortresses in Taiwan made him pay attention, and the Dutch warships also made him not dare to take it lightly. After realizing that Zhou Shi was not disgusted by Zheng Zhilong, Chen Yonghua was refreshed and vividly described the battle of Luoluowan.
The battle of Luowan was indeed the biggest war between the Ming army and the Dutch army, and its intensity and intensity were even more intense than that of the country's surname crossing the sea. After Nan Juyi was transferred from Fujian, the Dutch felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, so they began to set foot in Penghu in the early years of Chongzhen, but this time they encountered a resolute governor of Fujian, Zou Weilian.
In the sixth year of Chongzhen, Zou Weilian swore to supervise the battle in Haicheng in order to fight against the Dutch, and made Zheng Zhilong the striker. After Zheng Zhilong learned the location and size of the Dutch fleet and the pirate fleet, he ordered the navy to attack. In order to boost morale, in addition to the rewards officially arranged by the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Zhilong himself used the Jianghu Order to issue rewards to his opponents with his own private treasury: each participant in the war will be given two taels of silver, and if the war is prolonged, an additional five taels will be given. There are 16 people in each fireboat, and if the Dutch boat is burned, they will be given two hundred taels of silver, and the head of a Dutchman will be given fifty taels of silver.
At that time, the monthly salary of a seventh-rank official in the imperial court was only about fifty taels of silver, and Zheng Zhilong's reward was quite high. The high reward and the anger aroused by the righteousness of the rivers and lakes made Zheng Zhilong's subordinates morale high. When the Ming side was actively preparing for the war, the Dutch did not dare to neglect, and they recruited Zheng Zhilong's rival, the big pirate Liu Xiang, as reinforcements. Liu Xiang brought more than fifty warships. For a period of time after this, the heavy military groups of the two sides searched each other for fighter planes, and finally broke out the Luoluowan War.
In this battle, 8 sailing ships of the Dutch fleet and 50 large and small sailing ships of the pirates fought against 50 large warships and 100 fire ships of the Ming Dynasty navy. At dawn, the 150 main ships of the Ming army who had received reliable information quietly drove to the mouth of Liuluowan in the south of Kinmen Island, where all the main force of the combined Dutch-Liuxiang fleet was moored. When it was discovered that the Ming army was attacking, the Heliu Fleet set up a defensive formation with a Dutch battleship in the center and pirate ships scattered in all directions. Two-way assault, the tactic of the black tiger's heart. According to the pre-arrangement, the main force of the Ming army all went straight to the Dutch fleet, and only the auxiliary troops were used to deal with the pirate ships. At the same time, they adopted a style of play that the Dutch had never seen before on the European battlefield - sea of fire tactics.
Among the 150 warships of the Ming army, only 50 were gunboats, and the remaining 100 small boats were all fireboats. The Dutch fleet was devastated, losing three battleships, and the rest of the ships were badly wounded and fled. And the fifty Liu Xiang warships who participated in the war were wiped out in Liuluowan. According to the statistics after the event, there were more than 100 Dutch captives alone, and countless others fell into the water and died.
This battle was also the real beginning of Zheng Zhilong's fortune. Later, the Dutch once again sent Long Biji Ligo to lead 9 large warships to harass the coast of China and defeated the small fleet of the Ming Dynasty navy several times. 5 ships, Lang Bi is Rigo defeated and returned. It was not until this time that the Ming Zheng fleet finally seized all the sea power in East Asia from Japan to the South China Sea. At this time, Zheng Zhilong was known as the "King of the Fujian Sea". After that, only Zheng Zhilong was the slave in the southeast sea area. Under the banner, each ship received 3,000 gold, and the annual income was 10,000,000, and the city was built in Anping. Therefore, the later Tang king entered Fujian and called Longwu, Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Sen held high the anti-Qing righteous division, and Jinsha had a seventeen-year history of anti-Qing.
"According to this, the sailor of the red-haired ghost is nothing special."
Although the Minghe naval battles were all bullied by the Ming army, the tactical use of the Ming army was also remarkable. These combat experiences are also extremely valuable. Zhou Shixiang wants to cross the sea to kill the Dutch chicken to warn the Spanish monkey. The premise is that the Daming navy, which is adapted from the Zheng Jun navy, can annihilate the Dutch navy and clear the way to Genoa Peace. All obstacles in Prominja. Therefore, the experience of fighting with the Dutch warships must be summed up in order to succeed in one strike. Zhou Shixiang didn't want to spend more than half a year in Taiwan like Zheng Sen, his time was very limited. The battle plan formulated by the military in accordance with his requirements will take at least three months, and it must wait until March to start the sea-crossing operation. Originally, Zhou Shi had a lot of worries about crossing the sea, but now his confidence has greatly increased. No matter whether he bullied the less with more or not, he can still do what Zheng Zhilong can do.
Haven't eaten pork? Haven't seen the run yet?
Zhou Shixiang himself is not good at water warfare, but he has self-knowledge, and if he can't, he will let the people who will go. This time across the sea to recover Taiwan, there is no need to transfer the navy generals under Zhang Huangyan's subordinates from Jiangnan, there are some here in Jinsha. As long as he delegated power and let the front-line generals play freely, he would definitely be able to accomplish what Zheng Sen did not compete for.
Seeing that His Royal Highness King Qi is confident, He Bin has the heart to advise him not to underestimate the enemy, but he thinks that after all, he is a newcomer to vote, and he is a humble person.
"By the way, how big is the red-haired ghost's warship?" Zhou Shixiang began to ask for details.
"Returning to His Highness, the red-haired ghost's warships are all five-masted sailing ships with three decks, such as the Hector and the S. Graflan. The two ships are more than 200 feet long and nearly 50 feet wide. It is more than two feet thick, and there are huge guns on the ship that are more than ten feet long, and they are extremely powerful."
According to the measurement of Zhou Shixiang's previous life, one meter is equal to three feet three. In this way, the Dutch warships are seventy to eighty meters long, ten meters wide, and their cannons are five or six meters long.
This is a big guy, an absolute big guy. Zheng Jun's warships were a little smaller than the Dutch ships, probably only half of the other's, and their tonnage was also small. In the early Ming Dynasty, the main naval battleships of the Ming army could have 2,500 tons, but now Zhou Shixiang has learned that the largest naval battleships are only a few hundred tons. Therefore, from the perspective of size alone, the Dutch battleships are obviously behemoths.
According to Zheng Mingjun's report, Zheng Jun's navy has a total of large-scale ships, war ships, sling boats, rushing boats, sand boats, oolong boats, gun boats, and express ships. , a gunboat in the shape of the Dutch Galen. There is a Hongyi cannon on the ship, weighing 4,000 jin, more than 20 bronze cannons are installed on both sides of the bow, and there are one to two hundred guns of different sizes. The rest of the warships are not as big as the warships, among which the bird ship, the fast whistle, and the gun ship are only ten meters. The whole army has more than 40 warships, more than 30 large-scale ships, and nearly 600 other warships.
He Bin said that there were only four Dutch warships in Dongfan, which reassured Zhou Shixiang. The Dutch battleships are big and big, but there are only 4 of them. Many ants will kill the elephant, and a hard pile of ships can kill him. The only thing to worry about is the Dutch reinforcements. They have a powerful Far Eastern fleet in Batavia. If the battle across the sea goes badly and the Dutch reinforcements arrive, it will be a surprise. Therefore, the sea crossing operation must be decided as soon as possible, the money, grain and materials will be replenished immediately, and the troops will be dispatched to the east in early March.
"Recovering Dongfan is not only the wish of this commander, but also the wish of the country's surname. This time, when this commander called you in Kinmen, it was decided to cross the sea to recover Dongfan. Most of the people here are generals of the navy, and you follow the country. After so many years of fighting in the South and the North, this commander is very ashamed of his ability to fight at sea, so this time, this commander won’t be able to use much power to fight the red-haired ghost, everything has to work for you!”
As Zhou Shixiang was speaking, the blind man Li rushed in and said in a low voice, "Master, hurry up for eight hundred miles!"
"What's the urgent need for eight hundred miles?"
Zhou Shixiang was a little dissatisfied that Blind Li interrupted his pre-war mobilization of the navy generals at this time, and took over the 800 li in a hurry. Could it be that Shao Jiugong of Guizhou has gained another victory and came to report the victory?
When he opened it, Zhou Shixiang suddenly changed his mind and said angrily, "Li Laiheng is confused and misunderstood me!"
