Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 502 Great Ming Unification

Wei Malang's assistant, Fan Delan, was frightened out of his wits, and immediately mobilized the soldiers and warships he could call, and while blocking Lin Yi's fleet on the coast and nearby seas, he sent people to Chixian City to send a letter to Wei Malang. Said to ask for help.

Because he knew that the might of the Ming Dynasty's giant aircraft carrier battleship Yangwei, the Zhoushan naval battle was a bloody lesson, and in the waters near Fujian, their prime minister Wei Malang brought a world-class battleship formation with tens of thousands of horses, and he was scared. Watch out for the wind and run away, not daring to fight.Now, how can a total of dozens of warships and four to five thousand soldiers resist the enemy?

Van der Laan was really scared, flustered, his shoes ran away, his voice was hoarse, and he almost lost his composure.

Hongmaozi is worthy of being the most powerful country on the sea, and Van der Laan has some organizational skills. It took only half a day to organize more than 60 warships of various types at a distance of tens of miles near Chixian City, and all the forts on the shore were also completed. He made preparations, but he still didn't understand in his heart, so he hoped that Wei Malang would quickly transfer some of the naval warships in the Penghu naval battle, and it would be best if the Governor-General Kuiyi, the Hetok and the Mingweis could all come.

Early in the morning on the second day, the rumbling cannons rang out...

After Ji Dong destroyed one of Hongmaozi's strongholds, he led a fleet that circled the island from the sea near the coast.In one breath, the front line was pushed forward by more than 160 miles.

The battle lasted for more than two hours. As the sun set and the night fell, Lin Yi had no choice but to find a place on the beach and ordered the fleet to dock temporarily for rest and supplies.

Although so far, the naval warships and more than 1 accompanying generals still maintain a record of zero casualties, but the journey from Fujian to the sea for hundreds of miles, and then fighting for a long time, consumes a lot, and the rest and supplies are very expensive. Necessary, sharpening the knife does not mistake woodcutters.

Dozens of warships of the Ming army temporarily docked on the shore, and the generals of the navy battalion temporarily set up their camps. Of course, the guards, including warships at sea, were indispensable.

Then set up a temporary tent and start cooking.

After dinner, we began to take stock of the results.

Along the way, a total of more than a dozen fortresses on the shore were destroyed, and more than 30 ships of various types were destroyed and injured, including more than 20 naval warships, and eight merchant ships were captured.More than 300 Hongmaozi were captured, mainly businessmen.

Ji Dong didn't kill them all either. Except for the stubborn ones, all these people were put under custody. In the future, they would be sent to a prisoner-of-war concentration camp for reform, so that they could taste the taste of being enslaved.

There are also many local residents in Taiwan who were enslaved to do coolies. After Lin Yi rescued them, he distributed some items and money to them. Regardless of their wages, they will all be dismissed and returned to their hometowns.

Of course, these expenses come from the captured red-haired merchant ships and captives. On the red-haired merchant ships and warships, there is money for food and drink. Of course, Ji Dong will not be polite. It is taken from the people and used by the people.

These Taiwanese residents are mainly Gaoshan people. They are grateful and grateful. Since they were enslaved by the red-haired sons, they have worked harder than livestock and eaten worse than pigs. They dare not even think about wages and silver. It's good to be alive while starving.

Now Lin Yi not only rescued them, but also gave them money and let them go home and reunite. To them, this is really a living bodhisattva who saves suffering.

So these people knelt down on the ground, weeping all at once, kowtowed to Lord Jian Guo, and kowtowed to the Great Ming Emperor for his kindness.

Then Ji Dong got a lot of useful information from these captives and the Gaoshan people. Of course, the value of the intelligence about Hongmaozi and the Dutch East India Company stationed in Taiwan is of course very high.

After a timely rest and replenishment, on the second day, Lin Yi's fleet of tens of thousands of ships was full of energy again, with sufficient soldiers and food.

A few warships and hundreds of Ming soldiers were left here to guard the prisoners, and then Lin Yi led the fleet to continue.

The further you go, the gentler the terrain becomes, and there are fewer hills and ravines.But the forts and forts of Hong Maozi in front became denser.

Several Hongmaozi's forts were destroyed, and the battleship formation sailed forward for more than 30 miles. Suddenly, someone came to report that a large number of Hongmaozi's warships were found in a bay ahead, and there were several large forts on the shore.

Ji Dong took out the blueprints. Of course, the blueprints were obtained from the captured red-haired men and enslaved local residents. According to these information, Ji Dong temporarily drew up a strategic topographic map, on which important fortresses and other military Strongholds, including key locations such as Chixian City and Zeelandia City, are all marked.

At this time, Ji Dong opened the blueprint and saw that it was not far from Chixian City and Zeelandia City, only fifty or sixty miles away, and it was time for a big battle.The red-haired boys all use Western firearms, their cannons and muskets should not be underestimated, and they must pay attention to some strategies.

Ji Dong discovered that the terrain in this area is also suitable for shore operations, especially the marines can land here.

Lin Yi ordered the women's battalion and the guard battalion to abandon their boats and go ashore here to deal with Hongmaozi's strategic stronghold on the island and cooperate with the naval battleship formation. As for Hongmaozi's naval battleship, they don't care, as long as they can destroy the firepower on the shore, The Yangwei battleship formation led by Lin Yi can easily destroy them.

After receiving the order, Xiao Yingzhe Zhe Su Moer Xing Wanfang set off with more than 400 women's battalions, and Zhang Hua also went ashore with more than 1000 soldiers from the guard battalion.

Now Lin Yi was escorted by only Ma Luan and several hundred Jinyi Guards. After adjustments, these hundreds of people all boarded Yang Wei and the giant ship to guard Lin Yi.

Then land and water advanced, and the Ming army continued to advance the front.

About half an hour later, the navy battleship of the Ming army opened fire first, and the 70 red cannons on the battleship Yangwei let out a roar that shook the sky.Immediately afterwards, dozens of ships accompanied them, and the red cannons and the thousand-jin Flang machine fired one after another.

The dozens of warships that Van der Laan had temporarily organized were immediately beaten up. The sea area was in a mess, with thick smoke billowing and flames rising.

In the blink of an eye, Hong Maozi's dozens of warships were routed. At this time, Vanderlande, who was in charge of the command, was furious. Why didn't there be so many forts on the island and so many cannons in red?
In fact, he made a mistake. When the Yangwei giant ship formation was fighting fiercely with Hongmaozi's navy warships at sea, the women's battalion and the guard battalion had already started from the shore.Especially these female battalion soldiers have now been trained to be capable of amphibious warfare.Whether in the water or on the shore, a true commando elite.

Therefore, they rushed over without anyone noticing, and the red-haired forts on the shore were instantly destroyed or controlled. There was almost no suspense of musket shooting, bows and arrows, and hand-to-hand combat. These forts were all controlled by the Ming army. Some cannons were destroyed and lost their fighting power.

The soldiers of the female battalion and the battalion of the guards jointly attacked more than a dozen forts in this area. The red-haired fort on the shore was in a paralyzed state. How could they fire at the Ming warships at sea?
Van der Laan finally fled in embarrassment, and fled back to Chixian City with the defeated soldiers.

At this time, Wei Malang in Chixian City was furious, and Fan der Laan was scolded when he came here.

Immediately afterwards, Fan der Laan suggested that Wei Malang quickly transfer the navy from the Penghu area, and then let the red-haired soldiers guarding the two cities leave the city and attack back and forth, annihilating the Ming army and the Ming army.

"Stupid pig!" Wei Malang stared, "What if the Ming army comes to loot these two cities?"

Then Wei Malang and Fan Delan led four or five thousand red-haired soldiers to guard the two cities, not daring to fight. As for the naval battle between the Ming army on the shore and the Penghu side, they had to resign themselves to fate...

Seeing the red-haired man fleeing in embarrassment, and the red-haired man who guarded the castle did not dare to come out, Ji Dong felt confident, and it would be easier now.Immediately leave 2000 naval warships stationed in this generation to control the red-clothed cannons on the shore to prevent the red-haired sons of Chikan City and Zeelandia City from coming out to make trouble.

Then Lin Yi personally led the Yangwei and more than 20 naval warships, a total of more than 6000 sailors, to the waters of Penghu...

The 1 Ming Army navy and Hongmaozi's more than [-] navy fleet fought fiercely for two days in the waters of the Penghu Islands. In the end, Hongmaozi's main battleship was bitten by Zheng Chenggong and Shi Lang's fleet, and finally suffered dozens of casualties. In the case of three battleships, Hongmaozi's Hetok was surrounded by Ming army battleships. When the firepower and musket ammunition were basically exhausted, Zheng Chenggong and Shi Lang commanded countless small boats to drive past. The hook was thrown, hooking the giant ship, making him unable to move.

Then these soldiers of the Ming army attacked the battleship with fireboats and rockets, and soon, the main battleship of the third-class battleship of the Dutch red-haired man who had been showing off his might in the East and South China Seas for decades was burned to the ground.

Zheng Chenggong and Shi Lang had just breathed a sigh of relief when they got a report that Mingweis, the number one ace naval battleship of the Kingdom of Greater Holland, had copied their retreat and fought against the fleet of Liu Guoxuan on the left wing. Liu Guojun suffered heavy casualties .

Zheng Chenggong and Shi Lang immediately led naval warships to support Liu Guoxuan. The main battleship of Mingweisi was really powerful, and even destroyed more than a dozen naval warships of Ming Dynasty.

Just when Zheng Chenggong and Shi Lang and Liu Guoxuan were about to use the same tactics to trap the Mingweis battleship, the Yangwei battleship arrived, and Lin Yi ordered them to retreat immediately.

Zheng Chenggong's navy retreated, and the governor Kui Yi on the Mingweis ship breathed a sigh of relief, and finally defeated the Ming army. He immediately ordered to pursue the victory and completely wipe out the Ming army's naval fleet.

But they didn't chase for a mile, and a giant ship appeared in the lens of his telescope.

In the astonishment of Kui Yi, the giant ship Yang Wei opened fire first, and several heavy artillery shells hit the Ming Weiss. The battleship was in chaos. tilt.

But the Mingweis also opened fire on the Yangwei, and its firepower system is also very powerful. During this period, he also fired several red shells, which also hit the Yangwei. The hull caught fire, and three masts were destroyed. interrupt.

However, the Yangwei still had 7 masts, which were not affected at all, and the fire at the stern was quickly extinguished. The 3000 soldiers on board and hundreds of Jinyiwei continued to approach the Mingweis under the leadership of Lin Yi.

Seeing that the Mingweis was not an opponent, it had no choice but to flee.

Another two heavy artillery shells flew in, and there were two bangs, and the hull was hit again. The Mingweis was completely paralyzed and lost its combat power. Finally, its head hit the sea, its buttocks were raised, and finally the ship on the sea The giant ship disappeared.

After the end of the Penghu naval battle, the Ming army quickly occupied the Penghu Islands together. The Hongmaozi on the shore were wiped out, and then they sailed to the main island of Taiwan. The city of Zeelandia was completely surrounded.

Wei Malang and Fan Delan in the city saw that there were less than 5000 soldiers in the two cities, and the rest of the red-haired men were all wiped out, and the warships were gone. trapped them in the city.

Now their only hope is that their Kingdom of Greater Holland can send reinforcements, which may give them a chance of survival.

But in the waters around Xiamen Island, hundreds of Dutch naval warships who came to support were beaten and fled in embarrassment by the tens of thousands of Ming army sailors headed by Liu Wenxiu and the artillery fire on the shore...

So a few days later, Wei Malang and Fan der Lan obediently led these four or five thousand soldiers out of the city and became prisoners of the Ming army.

The head of the Dutch East India Company in Taiwan, Wei Malang, his assistant Van der Laan, and four or five thousand red-haired boys became prisoners of the Ming army, and the Ming government resumed the exercise of sovereignty over the treasure island of Taiwan.

Lin Yi rested his army and horses here, and went out to calm the people. More than 10 days later, Shi Banlang was left with an army of 1 and more than 300 warships stationed in Taiwan, waiting for orders.

Then Lin Yi led the remaining 10 Ming troops of the Yangwei Navy Fleet to return to Fuzhou from Taiwan with thousands of captives escorted by Hongmaozi.These red-haired prisoners of war were quickly sent to concentration camps, where they were allowed to undergo labor to transform them into coolies, and let them also taste the taste of being enslaved. This is called treating others in the same way.

At this point, the war in southern Xinjiang was completely over, and the millions of kings around Fujian went back to various places. Then Lin Yi took the standard camp, the guard camp, the musketeer camp, the women's camp, and the invincible Ying and other 10 troops, leaving Fuzhou and passing through Nanjing. , and returned to Beijing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Along the way, wherever he went, local officials, the governor's yamen and ordinary people from all over the place were empty alleys to welcome Lin Yi, the supervisor of the Ming Dynasty, to return to the court in triumph.

When we arrived in the capital, the official roads were full of Ming troops, and the common people greeted them in empty alleys. They all wanted to see the dignity of the Lord Supervisor again. The civil and military officials headed by the cabinet Gao Hongtu and the prince went out of the city to greet him.

Lin Yi returned to Beijing, where he had been away for a long time. A few days later, the chief assistant of the cabinet and the prince Zhu Ciliang, the eunuch of the East Factory and the head of Jinyiwei jointly proposed to Lin Yi that he should be enthroned.

Lin Yi laughed, Lin is the prince and teacher, if the world is peaceful today, the world is unified, the prince has grown up, Lin has completed the mission of supervising the country, and the one who ascends the throne should be His Royal Highness the prince.

The prince was overwhelmed by the flattery, big beads of sweat oozed out from his face, he knelt down on the ground, dared not say anything, and kept kowtow.

In the end, under Lin Yi's order, E Guanbo, the crown prince wearing a dragon robe, sat on the dragon chair, and Lin Yi became the chief assistant of the cabinet, doctor Guanglu, and three males and three lonely in one.

A few days later, Lin Yi took Xiaoying, Zhe Zhe, Su Moer, and Xing Wanfang to play in the Imperial Garden. Will Ann come out?"

Lin Yi thought: "We should recuperate, develop production, reduce rent and service, benefit the people, punish corruption, recommend virtuous people, and do more things to benefit the people, so that the Ming Dynasty can last forever."

"Thank you for your advice..." The prince turned around respectfully after saluting...
