The Sun Never Sets Great China

Huang Long, captain of the Third Fleet of the Chinese Revolutionary Army Navy, was standing on the deck, about to disembark, when he saw Zhang Huahan coming up with Xiaoyue, he immediately greeted him, and said: "Commander Zhang, Commander Mo Xiao just sent someone to come to us Borrow fifty shallow water boats."

"The port side cannon reloads!" A low-ranking officer shouted loudly in the cabin. Following his order, the sailors worked together to push back the ten port side cannons so that their muzzles retracted. In the cabin, but then the sailors just simulated the loading action with their hands, and did not actually load the gunpowder into the gun. When they pulled the bullet stick out of the gun chamber, they stopped.

Zhang Huahan stood behind the officer, looked at an hourglass, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Very good, this time the speed is faster than last time, but it's not enough, we need to work harder!" He turned around and ordered the officer to continue training, and then took a few soldiers onto the deck.Zhang Huahan said to Huang Long: "Oh? The person he sent? When did they come?" Huang Long said: "I don't know too well, maybe they just came here."

Zhang Huahan said: "Did he say what he borrowed the boat for?" Huang Long said: "No, but it seems that there is something very important." He looked at Zhang Huahan who was thinking, and said: "Then can we borrow the boat?" Lend it to him?" Zhang Huahan thought without thinking: "I will lend him [-] boats. I wonder if there has been any movement in Hangzhou. Could it be that those foreigners intend to attack Hangzhou? so funny."

From that John's mouth, Zhang Huahan learned that the Manchu Qing Tartars actually united with the Netherlands, Britain and the Japanese to deal with the Chinese Revolutionary Army. It is said that the Netherlands and the British sent many warships to occupy some places in China to establish colonies. And Zhang Huahan also immediately acted to call all the navies to prepare for war with the multinational coalition forces. He didn't know if other countries would participate, but for the battle-tested Dutch navy and the British navy, he had to fight with all his strength to win.

Zhang Huahan didn't remember that in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, the Dutch and British fleets came to deal with China. He thought for a long time, and thought of the order he issued to the navy earlier, that is, all the naval fleets of the Chinese Revolutionary Army should learn from the British. Two flags were prepared, one was the flag of the Chinese Navy, and the other was the skull and pirate flag. Many Dutch ships, Spanish ships, ships from the newly established country of Portugal, Japanese ships, British ships, and even Zheng's merchant ships were captured by their Chinese Revolutionary Army. The main fleet and the three sub-fleets pretended to be pirates and robbed them, causing them great losses. Even the flagship of Pan Hongtu, the captain of the second fleet of the Navy where Zhang Huahan once sat, was filled with new-style [-]-jin boats robbed from ships from Western countries. The cannon caused so much damage, and the relationship between the Zheng family and Japan is broken. Those people in Western countries must be able to learn from the Japanese that it was not the Zheng family, not the Zheng family, who robbed their merchant ships or even warships. If Western countries don't know who robbed them, then they can just find tofu and kill them.Zhang Huahan felt that this was the root of the disaster. The navy of the Chinese Revolutionary Army annoyed those Western countries, and the Manchu Qing court did not have any naval forces, and their army seemed very powerful. After all, they were considered government troops, and the Chinese Revolutionary Army China's navy is relatively strong, making people in Western countries feel that as long as they deal with the navy of the Zhang Hua Revolutionary Army, China's land will be their world.

These are all the news from that John. For that John, Zhang Huahan decided to let him stay in the hidden cellar in Zhending City until the Manchu Qing army searched it laxly before taking him back to the area occupied by the Chinese Revolutionary Army. The British are a treasure, and they are very clear about the military situation in several European countries. Since Zhang Huahan's English is not very standard, and he can't understand the other party's speaking too fast, the most interesting thing is that Zhang Huahan's English is still He learned in Mirage Middle School, and he didn't know English at all before.Because of the difficulty of communication, in a hurry, Zhang Huahan only asked John about the deployment and events of the foreign coalition forces. It was too late to ask about other things, but his poor communication does not mean that there will be no English-speaking people in China. Zhang Huahan has already asked Wang Xiaolong to go. I went to find a translator. After all, translators may be used in the future. With a translator, the tongue will be of great use in the future.

Under the rolling waves, more than a dozen Dutch warships advanced around one warship. With a "boom", the Dutch warship opened fire first, and a burst of gunpowder smoke rose and filled the river.At the moment when the Dutch battleship opened fire, the warships of the Chinese Revolutionary Army also began to fight back. Suddenly, a series of cannons sounded in the wide Yangtze River estuary.

Hai Dafu saw that the Dutch warship was getting closer and closer, but his side was going against the wind, and it was impossible to run away. He had to order to turn again, and turned back to the west, trying to open a road so as to enter the Yangtze River that he was familiar with. The waterway quickly moved closer to the main fleet of its own First Fleet cruising the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

Hai Dafu was secretly surprised by the other party's reaction and lamented his own misfortune. He originally came out with a disassembled fleet to patrol, but was blocked by more than a dozen Dutch warships. Now that the main fleet is still far away, he must gather the main force to clean up. These red-haired devils.

The fifteen ships of the Dutch battleship had already been divided into two teams, one team went east to intercept Hai Dafu, while the other team quickly plunged obliquely into the mouth of the Yangtze River, cutting off Hai Dafu's back route.

In charge of cutting off Hai Dafu's westward march is the battle fleet led by Kui Yi himself, with a total of five three-masted ships.Kui Yi stood on the deck, proudly using a binoculars to look at the Hai Dafu fleet going upstream.He asked an adjutant beside him: "Are you sure that the person on board is Hai Dafu himself?"

The adjutant said: "I can use my personality to guarantee that the ship with the red lantern is Hai Dafu's own ship. According to the information we have collected in the Chinese Revolutionary Army for many years from the Qing Empire, Hai Dafu used to be Zheng Zhilong's subordinate, and his habits are very similar to Zheng Zhilong's, especially after joining the Chinese Revolutionary Army, on which ship Hai Dafu himself was on, his own handsome flag and the red lantern symbolizing his status would be hung on the ship. Which ship is the same as Zheng Zhilong's habit, unless Zheng Zhilong crawled out of the coffin, otherwise, that ship must be the flagship of the first fleet of the Chinese Revolutionary Army Navy, Captain Hai Dafu." He pointed to the fleet and said : "Your Excellency, Commander, please take a closer look. Is there still a big flag with words written on it? That big flag is Hai Dafu's handsome flag. Usually he relies on this handsome flag to show off his power at sea." , all ships that see his handsome flag must salute him and slow down to make way for him. Your former commander, who was defeated by Zheng Zhilong's son Zheng Chenggong, left Formosa, the governor of Taiwan, China Your Excellency also gave way to him in this way, and I happened to be on that boat at the time, so I know about it."

"Oh?" Kui Yi cracked his mouth and smiled, and said, "No wonder that coward was called back by the company. It turned out that he actually humiliated us Dutch in front of the Chinese! Hahaha!"

The adjutant reminded in a low voice: "Your Excellency Commander, please allow me to remind you that the reason why the original commander tolerated Hai Dafu's rudeness was because the company's strength in the waters near Taiwan and ancient China was not strong, and At that time, the navy of the Chinese Revolutionary Army already had a certain strength, and once the war started, our ships would not be their opponents at all, so he was not afraid."

Kui Dao said: "Now I can't control so much, now I only know that the number of ships in my fleet has far exceeded that of Hai Dafu, now it's not me who makes way for him, but he who makes way for me, and You must let him go, or I will sink him all!"

"Boom" "Boom", there was a burst of gunfire, which made Kui Yi even more excited. He blushed and watched the sea artillery battle downstream with great interest.Although in order to carry more Japanese soldiers, the Dutch ships underwent a large-scale transformation, and most of the cannons of the ships were unloaded, but just in case, the Dutch fleet still retained fifty complete warships, and all All the cannons were replaced with the latest ones. Therefore, in the artillery battle with the Haidafu fleet, the Dutch fleet had the upper hand.

When Kui Yi excitedly encouraged his subordinates to move closer to Hai Dafu's fleet, Hai Dafu was extremely anxious. He kept urging his subordinates to speed up, but after all, the fleet was traveling against the current, and the speed of the ship was not fast, so he could only Seeing that the two Dutch fleets, one east and one west, are getting closer, and the two Dutch warships beside them are almost attached to their own ships, the two rounds of salvos by the Dutch warships have severely damaged the starboard side of the ship. The starboard cannon had less than half a shot left.

"Boom" A salvo of cannons came from the starboard side, and then a burst of thick smoke rose up with a choking smell, which was blown away by the river wind in a blink of an eye.Hai Dafu knew that this was the second salvo of his own cannons. He looked up at the Dutch warship less than twenty feet away from his own ship, and saw that the port side of the Dutch warship had cracked several big holes. It seems that they are not much better than themselves.

"General, those five warships from the upper reaches are coming towards us!" A sailor in charge of lookout shouted, pointing to the west of the Yangtze River.Hai Dafu followed the sailor's fingers and looked upstream, and he found that the five Dutch ships had changed their course, turned around and sailed eastward against the wind, and were flanking the Dutch warships behind him that were clung to him. come over.

Hai Dafu turned his head and looked at the ships behind him, but saw that their formation was in disarray, and the last ship was caught between two Dutch warships. There was a lot of flames, and from time to time, sailors with burning bodies jumped into the bitter and salty river water at the mouth of the Yangtze River. It seemed that the ship was already dying.

"Zhao Zixuan!" Hai Dafu shouted suddenly. "Your subordinate is here!" Zhao Zixuan, who was commanding the deck guns to reload the ammunition, hurried over and said, "General, what are your orders?" Hai Dafu pointed to the three-masted ship following his ship, and said, "You Get on the boat now and command the 'Yellow Wave', this 'Jihai' is under my personal command! After you take over the 'Yellow Wave', immediately catch up with the 'Jihai', sail to my starboard side, block the Dutch ship, and then Cover me and get closer to the river bank, and when I land, you will lead everyone on board to abandon the ship and go ashore, and then gather in Suzhou!" Zhao Zixuan did not dare to neglect after receiving the order, and immediately ordered the sailors to put down a small boat and bring five The sailors, braved the bullets from the muskets fired by the Dutch battleship, and approached the three-masted ship "Huang Lang" thirty feet away downstream.

There were several "swish, swish", several bullets flew over Hai Dafu's head, and at the same time he heard several "bang, bang, bang" gunshots. When he looked back, he saw more than a dozen people standing on the deck of the Dutch ship. Gunners, they're aiming at his ship. "Bang bang bang" the Dutchman's second round of musket salvo started, Hai Dafu was ready, he squatted down immediately, and at the same time ordered loudly: "Damn Xipi, we also have guns, everyone go get the quick guns! Fight against the red-haired ghost!"

A dozen sailors ran onto the deck with fast guns, stood on the starboard side, and aimed and fired at the Dutch ship. "Bang bang bang" After a burst of gunfire, a large number of soldiers on the opposite Dutch ship fell down, but a moment later, another group of gunmen on the Dutch ship had already loaded the ammunition, and before Hai Dafu's men bowed their heads, they fired a salvo. , following the gunshot, two of Hai Dafu's subordinates fell down immediately. "Boom" sounded again, and the third salvo of the Dutch battleship's cannons started, and dozens of shells roared and flew towards Hai Dafu's ship.

Hai Dafu only felt the ship shake, and then heard a "clicking" sound.A sailor ran up the deck, ran to Zheng Zhilong, and said: "General, it's not good, the starboard cannon has been completely destroyed!" Cannons have no armor defense.

"Then push the cannon on the port side!" Hai Dafu roared, "Hit me hard!" He turned to look at the 'Huanglang', and saw that it was slowly approaching him, and the distance between him and him It's less than ten feet.

Although this battle was not too fierce in the eyes of the Dutch sailors, in the eyes of the Japanese general Matsudaira Nobuzuna, this battle was the most intense water battle he had ever seen in his life. He turned his head Go, and said to Mukai next to him: "You are right. It seems that the Westerners' naval combat skills are indeed very high, and it seems that the Chinese Revolutionary Army's naval combat skills are not weak."

He pondered for a moment, then sat back on the small stool, and said in a low voice: "The Dutch must be a serious problem. It seems that we must make preparations early, so as not to be caught off guard." Mukai looked around and saw that the Dutch were all lying on the side of the boat. Watching the battle, he didn't notice Matsudaira's words. He immediately ran to Matsudaira and said, "So we can't turn against the Dutch right now. Only when Japan becomes stronger can we fight against them. The most important thing now is to fight against the Dutch." The most important thing is how to conquer China in order to obtain rich wealth."

"Wealth? Haven't we already obtained wealth? The Manchu Qing court has given us a lot of silver." Matsudaira Nobutsuna raised his face and looked at Noda puzzled.Mukai said: "China is very big, they have innumerable wealth, I stayed in the Manchu army for a while, although the Manchus are retreating, but their wealth is far more than what was given to us, we want to take more , I can only grab it by myself, they won’t give us more.” At this time, they suddenly heard a strange cry from the surrounding Dutchmen.Mukai quickly grabbed the interpreter and asked him to ask the Dutch captain to see what happened.The translator brought the captain and asked him to explain what happened just now to Mukai and Nobuzuna Matsudaira.The Dutch captain said: "The exclamation just now didn't mean anything, it was just the Dutch sailors' contempt for the British."

Seeing that the Dutch captain hesitated to speak, Mukai had no choice but to continue to ask.The captain didn't want to talk to him at first, but in the end he was so anxious after being questioned, he had to drag Mukai to the side of the ship, pointing to the distance and said, "You can look there, are the British also dispatched?"

Looking into the distance, Mukai saw two British ships moving quickly towards Hai Dafu's fleet. It seemed that they were also preparing to attack Hai Dafu's ship.He didn't understand why the Dutch were so unhappy with the British attack, so he asked, "Didn't the British help you by attacking the Chinese ship?"

The Dutch captain curled his lips and said: "What we hate the most is the shameless behavior of those British pirates! The British are a group of robbers who violated the code of chivalry. The reputation is not much worse. If we hadn't blocked those Chinese ships just now, they wouldn't have had the opportunity to attack! Oh, may God punish these sinners, and what they dispatched this time is not warships, but fire Attack the ship, if they attack successfully, then we will not be able to capture those Chinese! As far as I know, there are senior commanders in the fleet of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, the most powerful Chinese fleet, and They always carry a lot of gold, silver and jewels on their boats, even if there is no treasure, I think the Chinese Revolutionary Army is willing to pay a high ransom, it seems that we can't get it!"

Mukai took a telescope from the Dutch captain, and carefully observed the two British ships again. Sure enough, there seemed to be not many people on the decks of the two ships. Much faster.It seemed that it was exactly as the captain said—they were two fire attack ships.

Commanding the British fire attack ship was Hawkins, the commander of the British fleet. He saw that Hai Dafu's fleet was surrounded by the Dutch, and he felt itchy after many years of private plundering, and suddenly remembered that his great-grandfather once told him In the story of defeating the Spanish Armada in the past, he wanted to show his skills in front of his allies, so he sent two fire attack ships that had already been prepared, and personally led the ship to Hai Dafu, preparing to make a contribution before the Dutch succeeded.Just when Hawkins was urging his men to spread the sails desperately, the "Huanglang" commanded by Zhao Zixuan finally caught up with Hai Dafu's ship "Jihai", and inserted between the "Jihai" and the Dutch ship. In the meantime, covering Hai Dafu, he approached the south bank of the Yangtze River.But Hai Dafu's attempt to land was seen through by Kui. He immediately led the fleet down the river, inserted into the river between Hai Dafu's ship "Ji Hai" and the south bank of the Yangtze River, and followed Hai Dafu's fleet. The Dutch battle fleet behind completely surrounded Hai Dafu's fleet, and Kui Yi proudly said to the adjutant: "Hai Dafu, the naval leader of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, I heard about him and their Chinese Revolutionary Army when I was in Batavia. The navy of the Chinese Revolutionary Army is very arrogant. They don't take our Dutch fleet seriously, and often send their men to loot our various ships. This makes the company very shameless. I have long wanted to teach this Chinese Revolutionary Army naval giant a good lesson. Today, I finally seized the opportunity to avenge those merchant ships and company employees!" His face darkened, and he ordered loudly to the adjutant: "Go and order the sailors to hang up the signal flag, and today we must wipe out all the ships in the sea. These shameless pirate fleets of Dafu! Kill all these scoundrels and robbers at sea, and never accept their surrender!"
