Liu Guojin was secretly shocked. Everyone knew his strength on the grassland, but no one expected that he had reached this point. Of course, he would not think that Wang Faxiang was all factual, as if there was something exaggerated, but since he dared to do so, he would have quite terrifying strength.

In this way, Zhang Han's strength may not be inferior to the Eastern Captain. If Wang Wenyan causes trouble this time and makes De and Yusheng really rebel, it may not end well in the future.

But then I thought about it, I was only considered an outsider in the Donglin Party and was far from reaching the core position. Wang Wenyan has always been above his ambitions and did not take him seriously at all. No matter how strong he is with Yusheng, he had Wang Wenyan to take it off and wrinkle a pool of spring water. What does it have to do with him?

But today I sold a favor to He Yusheng, which was not the result.

"But please don't worry, Mr. Wang," Wang Faxiang said again: "As long as they start from business and speak business, no matter what means they use, we and Yusheng will definitely continue."

After leaving the Liu Mansion, Wang Faxiang immediately returned the information he was in, and then wrote today's affairs into a brief summary, sealed them with the highest level of cover, and told the person to send them to Lizhuang and Qingcheng at a speed of 600 miles. He was probably going to Lizhuang tomorrow and Qingcheng the next day. As for how the military command handled it, what decisions Zhang Han would make, that was not something that Wang Faxiang could guess according to the decision.

...

"The front convenience is Zhenhai Port. If you win this port, you will win half of this battle!"

Yu Zigao's beard and hair are half white, and he is already a standard image of a veteran.

The phoenix-winged helmet, silver mountain armor, big red cloak, gold-painted cowhide leather belt, long black leather boots, everything is prominent as the master's extraordinary identity as a senior military officer.

The Yu family was originally a family of generals, and the legendary figure of Yu Dayou came out... Yu Dayou practiced martial arts when he was young and once defeated the monks of Shaoshishan with one sword. This was not a family statement, but a real historical fact. Later, he led the army and was unlucky and fell several times. Even so, he established an achievement that ordinary people could not imagine. The famous generals of the Japanese were the first to be Qi Jiguang, followed by Yu Dayou.

Whether it is martial arts, poetry, songs, or military training, or the ability to lead troops to fight, Yu Dayou is as outstanding as Qi Jiguang. It is really a pity to think about it. Before Jiajing to the middle of Wanli period, the Ming Dynasty was really brilliant. Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou were the most shining Gemini stars among them.

Now Yu Zigao is thinking about revitalizing his family reputation and catching up with his father's glory back then.

More than a hundred large-scale naval warships sailed across the wind and flew towards the Penghu Islands not far away.

The sea water is blue, which makes people intoxicated. The wind and waves are not big, the hull is just slightly ups and downs. Behind it is a large area of ​​land, and the center of the left is the closest offshore base.

There were more than 2,000 officers and soldiers who went to the expedition this time, all of whom were the children of Fujian who had been brought out by Yu Zigao for many years. They were skilled in sailing and water battles, and they were also the essence of the Fujian Navy.

The entire South China sea area is extremely large, and the ones that truly control the sea border and maintain the safety of the coastal ground are actually the more than 100 ships in front of us and more than 2,000 navy soldiers on the ship. Of course, there is also Yu Zigao, who has a big red cloak flying in the wind.

Deputy generals, guerrillas, garrisons, and there were generals on each ship. Yu Zigao only had a central army with guerrilla ranks by his side.

Naval battles are not like land battles. The generals are surrounded by their servants, and many relatives and followers will retreat safely under the protection of elites if they are inappropriate. Unless it is a tragic result of the annihilation of the entire army, for example, many generals at the general level died in the Liaodong battlefield. Otherwise, the safety of the generals on the battlefield will be very guaranteed.

Naval battles are completely different. A ship sinks or does not sink. Sometimes it depends on the will of heaven. God calls you unlucky and no one can do it. You are far away enough, and the shells can be several miles away. Unless the generals are not close to the battlefield of naval battles at all, otherwise there will be danger at any position.

But if we don’t get close to the command, then the generals will have no meaning to visit the battlefield. The Ming Dynasty system is civil officials to manage the strategic level and logistics management, and to take action on the battlefield in person, which is the responsibility of the general. At this time, the Ming Dynasty military officers still had a bottom line. Five or six generals on the battlefield in Liaodong alone were killed in battle. Unlike ten years later, when officers and soldiers fled when they saw the enemy, they fled when they saw the enemy, and they fled when they could not escape, and they surrendered... Since they were completely shameless, the Ming Dynasty generals rarely had any records of death in the battlefield...

Although Yu Zigao was the deputy general, he had to stand on the sea boat at this time. The other generals were commanded by other crew members, which was considered to be a sharing of risks. Once the central army was in danger, other generals could still hold the general flag and continue to command, so that they would not collapse completely after an accidental death of a general.

Penghu is right in front, Zhenhai Port is the most suitable deep-water port for landing. Previously, most fishermen went ashore to replenish supplies. Penghu originally had fixed or semi-fixed residents of thousands of people. In addition to the people who were looted to Taiwan to build castles for the Dutch, the remaining personnel built many castles for the Dutch and the island. According to the records at that time, the Dutch built stone castles. However, because time was tight, it was not built into a large-scale castle, which was a great blessing in disguise.

In the eyes of Yu Zigao and ordinary Ming army, the key point of Zhenhai Harbor is that there is an extremely fortress city, which can accommodate less than a hundred people. Several Dutch warships have untied their cables and set sail. Before the main force of the Ming army naval army arrived, they left the port, grabbed the upper hand in advance, and observed the situation here from afar.

"This is going to Baishawan on the other side of Fengwei Guiyu Island, where Hongmaoyi built a fort."

After hearing Yu Zigao's words, an officer pointed to the retreating Dutch warship and said, "The terrain over there is steep, so it will be very troublesome if the barbarian ship retreats."

"Not care about this." Yu Zigao snorted and said, "And break the enemy in front of you again."

Yu Zigao turned his head and looked at a young man in a white long gown beside him, and he felt a little respect in his heart. This young scholar also came from the school, and there was a lot of ink in his belly. Although Yu Zigao was a tiger father, he was a dog son. His father's knowledge and talent did not fall on him, but his family background was related. Old General Yu still had some respect for scholars. The young man in front of him looked gentle and gentle, but he was also a character. Northerners went out to sea with warships, storms and waves, and would face bloody battles. This northern young man named Li Pingzhi was all peaceful and looked as usual.

"Kill it up, no matter how dead or injured it is!"

The distance was very close and it was a good wind. After Yu Zigao issued the order, the flags of the Central Army ships were unfolding, and each ship was rushing forward. Some ships with four and eight pulp were even more like arrows off the strings, moving forward quickly.

At this time, the sound of cannons sounded. There were five or six artillery guns in the Dutch-built castle, all of which were copper cannons. After entering the effective range within 500 steps, these cannons fired.

However, the effect was extremely poor. The Ming army had 40 serious warships. The total number of ships that came with the big ships was over 100, with 2,000 people. There were only more than 100 soldiers guarding the port and the castle in the Netherlands. With the roar of artillery, the Ming army's warships continued to move forward. The large ships either sailed forward or paddled like flying. The sea water was cut open by the ships like scissors, and white waves appeared on the blue sea.

As they approached the port and the pier, the sailors jumped from the boat and climbed towards the castle with short swords on their mouths.

The Ming army also had artillery on the warships. Although there were only one or two cannons in a ship, and most of them were old Folang aircraft, they were better because the ants were biting to death, and the artillery kept roaring. Most of the cannons fell in the water or on the beach, and a few shells were hit on the castles, breaking and shattering.

The Dutch on the castle quickly became untenable. They first bombarded the naval officers and soldiers who rushed to the castle. The Ming army soldiers were hit and screamed after being hit. However, the Ming army was defeated by many people. The Ming army quickly exceeded a thousand soldiers, while the Dutch were only a hundred, with a very different number. The Ming army navy was the elite of the hundred battles brought by Yu Zigao. The courage was not under the red barbarians. Under the bombardment of the muskets, the Dutch in the castle suddenly opened the castle door and ran away quickly at the entrance of the castle.

More than a hundred soldiers from the Dutch East India Company in red uniforms fled in a panic on the edge of the beach. The Ming army quickly attacked, but did not catch up with the fast-running Dutch.

After confirming that Zhenhai Port had been captured, the navy soldiers let out a burst of welcome sounds. The gunners on each ship were extremely excited and each fired a few empty cannons to celebrate.

Li Pingzhi bowed to Yu Zigao and said, "Congratulations to General General. After one battle, the navy officers and soldiers were extremely brave. They were all the achievements of the adults' training."

Li Pingzhi's compliments are really from the heart. From the north to the south, the level of Ming officers and soldiers has declined all the way, and even the northern border troops are few elite and there are many cannon fodders, so there is no need to mention the Ming army in the south. Yu Zigao's two thousand navy troops are at least in terms of blood courage and combat skills, and they are really worthy of the court's salary.

"This is nothing." Yu Zigao said lightly: "Two thousand people attacked 100 people, what is this? There are hundreds of lotteries and strong large turrets in Fengweigui Island. It is the real challenge that is guarding with giant cannons."

After the navy officers and soldiers dispersed the defense line and completely cleared the surroundings, Yu Zigao did not lead his troops to ashore, but withdrew most of the manpower. The fleet continued to sail north. During this period, Yu Zigao explained to Li Pingzhi: "The Fengwei Guilling Island is surrounded by water on three sides, and the land is connected to the land. The terrain is very narrow, easy to defend but difficult to attack. If possible, you still have to attack from the sea.

In the evening, the Ming Navy fleet arrived at the sea near Fengweigui Island.

At this time, the rumbling cannon sounded, and the sentry ship in front caused the bombardment of cannons on the shore.

A few miles away, you can clearly see the cannon flames slashing through the dim sky. When the gunpowder burns, a brilliant fire bursts out. When the cannonballs hit, it makes a scream. It sounds loud. Li Pingzhi was aware of the goods and said immediately: "This is a heavy cannon!"

Yu Zigao looked at Li Pingyi and said, "It's a heavy artillery. There are many heavy artillery in the Baisha Port turret, all of which were dismantled from the warships by the Dutch Red Barbarians. According to their method, they are all eighteen-pound cannons or twenty-four-pound cannons."—
