Ming Zuo

Given the complex topography of the Zhoushan Islands, it is extremely difficult to search.

Neither Zuo Hua nor the other young generals dared to advance rashly.

The East China Sea Fleet adopted a very safe approach.

Large warships cruise the open waters, and then let the smaller warships enter the winding waterways.Once the enemy's situation is found, it will be sent immediately, and then the large warship will provide firepower output.

As a result, it took a full three days to complete the entire search.

It wasn't until this moment that Zuo Hua was sure that Zheng Zhilong had withdrawn.

And in these three days, the Second Marine Division also waited.

With the help of the Navy, the Sixth Regiment of the Second Marine Division directly landed on Dadao, Zhoushan.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Zhoushan Islands have not been valued by the court.

In the second year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang sent Tang He to deal with the southeast defense.

Two military officers under Tang He were beaten to death when they intervened in local civil disputes on Xiushan Island.

This incident angered Tang He.

He petitioned Zhu Yuanzhang, saying that the local people in Zhoushan colluded with Japanese pirates and caused disasters along the coast, and they were uneducable people.He insisted on removing the county government and relocated the islanders.

Because of this incident, the population of Zhoushan dropped to more than [-].

After three years in Jingtai, the number dropped to more than [-] households.

Since then, the Zhoushan Islands have been reduced to a sparsely populated and desolate place.

During the Jiajing period, Japanese pirates used this place as their base, causing great troubles along the coast of Daming.

Later, the Japanese invasion along the coast was wiped out, and the Zhoushan Islands became a land of aliens.

After Zheng's rise, he naturally saw the importance of this place.Treat it as a key stronghold to control the East China Sea waterway.

Because of this, when the Xia army landed, they did not encounter any resistance.

In addition to the aborigines, there are also some coastal smugglers on the island.

Although these smugglers also have weapons, how dare they fight against the army?

What they fear most is that the new army will punish them.

"Since you are businessmen, no matter what you have done before, whether you came here legally or not. From now on, you will not be held accountable. You can all come here to trade in the future, and the relevant tax rules will be notified to you later. "

Gan Huiqiang came to meet these frightened businessmen in person, and at the same time read out Xia Guo's policies.

All these smugglers were overjoyed to hear that not only would they not be prosecuted and punished, but they could continue to do business.

"I've heard that the Xia Kingdom encourages business and trade, and seeing it today, it's as expected. Don't worry, the general, I will obey the law in the future and dare not mess around."

These smugglers used to come here to do business. Although they were not controlled by the laws of Ming Dynasty, they were obviously exploited by pirates.

When the newcomers openly encouraged business and industry, they were obviously happier.

In a short period of time, the order on all the islands of Zhoushan was restored.

No one remembered the Zheng family who could not come back, and agreed with Xia Guo's rule.

Behind the Second Marine Division, Chen Zhi reported the situation to the center, and at the same time dispatched capable officials to establish a political power.

The various subsequent constructions will definitely give the Zhoushan Islands a new look.

And the newly obtained a piece of land also allowed the East China Sea Fleet to repair the warship on the spot, without having to go back to the Waigaoqiao Wharf, which really saved a lot of effort.

"These six new ships will be handed over to your East China Sea Fleet. I'm going back to the Naval Academy to be my principal."

E Honglue ran around and made dazzling military exploits.Satisfied, I just want to go back and live the life of An Sheng.

The newly obtained six third-tier strategic ships have suddenly expanded the size of the East China Sea Fleet unprecedentedly, and it is definitely the largest force on the East Ocean Sea.

This made Zuo Hua very happy, and made fun of E Honglue.

"Old man, I heard that you have found a wife who is twenty years younger than you. You are an old cow eating young grass, are you worthy of God?"

E Honglue's old face flushed and he exploded on the spot.

"We really love each other and have been witnessed by God. Also, my name is Andre E Honglue, not E."

Zuo Hua couldn't help smiling when he saw his distraught look.

"You are now a member of our country of Xia. Isn't it natural to take a name from the country of Xia?"

"Is there anyone with the surname E in Xia Kingdom?"

"Why not? I heard that there used to be a minister named E Yidu in the Qing Dynasty, who had the same surname as you."

Zuo Hua was just bullying him because he didn't understand the history of the East, and he was talking nonsense.

Sure enough, E Honglue believed it was true.

After thinking about it, I thought it would be a good idea to take a surname of "er".

"My baby will be born soon, what do you think is a better name?"

Zuo Hua is not good at this.

"If you want to name it, His Highness is good at it. Why don't you ask him for advice after you go back."

When E Honglue heard this, he immediately smiled.

If Zuo Menggeng can name his own child himself, it will be of great significance, and there is no need to worry about his future life.

E Honglue left, leaving behind six brand new Tier [-] battleships for the East China Sea Fleet.

All of a sudden, the East China Sea Fleet changed from weak to strong.

It can be said that Xia Guo's previous ideas have all been realized.

Seeing that the Second Landing Division had firmly grasped the Zhoushan Islands, Zuo Hua left behind the damaged four battleships and started heading south with six new ships and the rest of the auxiliary ships.

Although the naval battle was a big victory and the Zheng family was severely injured, Zheng Zhilong survived the defeat and still had strength to spare.If you don't deal with him in one breath, maybe you will slow him down.

While heading south, Zuo Hua began to think in detail about how to fight the next battle.

Dealing with Zheng Zhilong in Zhejiang and dealing with Zheng Zhilong in Fujian are completely different concepts.

Fujian is Zheng Zhilong's hometown. It has been in business for many years and has long been deeply rooted.The help that can be obtained is simply unimaginable.

Even if the East China Sea Fleet is strong and strong, it must be cautious.

After all, the strength of the Dutch fleet was also very strong in the Naval Battle of Liaoluo Bay that year.

As a witness of the naval battle, Zuo Hua knew very well how the Dutch failed.

The next actions of the East China Sea Fleet can be described as going deep into the tiger's den.

Even the bold Zuo Hua couldn't help being cautious.

The six new warships under their feet cost a lot, and they dare not lose them easily.

During the continuous voyage, Zuo Hua still couldn't think of a proper solution.

However, he didn't know that Zheng Zhilong was in the most desperate moment at this moment.

"Is it true that God wants to kill me?"

Zheng Zhilong covered his stomach with one hand, and propped the knife on the deck with the other hand.Looking at the tragic situation on the sea around him, he was like an old and frail lion, facing the situation of being eliminated.

Around Zheng's fleet, there were two full formations of battleships galloping back and forth, constantly destroying them with artillery.

Under the sun, the flag of the holy red cross fluttered high, indicating the identity of the current enemy.

"Continue to attack, use all your strength, and absolutely cannot let Zheng Zhilong go."

Putmans has long since lost all composure, and his excited and frantic expression shows that he has been waiting for this moment for a long time.

His failure in Liuluowan was unforgettable in his mind.

As a proud soldier, he can't hold his head up all the time.

Now, he can finally take revenge!
