The difficulty of the Ming Dynasty in resisting the Japanese was not that the soldiers did not do their best, but that the difficulty was the lack and backwardness of naval warfare equipment.

When the officers and men of Guangdong were still dispatching troops on land, the sea was already "among the colorful clouds of the White Emperor of the court, and thousands of miles of Jiangling would be returned in one day." The Japanese Kou headed by the coffin hair rushed straight to the Guangzhou Mansion.

Jieshiwei, who is located in Huizhou Mansion, is really like a stone, whether it is Jiesheng Qianhu or Pinghai Qianhu, he did not dare to fight in the end, and watched this group of arrogant Japanese robbers pass in front of his house.

Dapeng Qianhu took the initiative to fight, but in the face of the wolf-like army, it was like a mantis arm as a car. With the existing dilapidated sea ships and rusty earthen cannons of the guard, they are simply vulnerable.

In just a few days, this gang of Japanese robbers reached the mouth of the Pearl River, which is really surprising.

The coffin and other Japanese were also extremely surprised, seeing that the road was so smooth, it was inevitable that they would despise the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty more in their hearts, and they would have more confidence in breaking through the city of Guangzhou.

Bang!

Early in the morning, bursts of artillery came from the direction of the Pearl River estuary, resolutely announcing to the outside world that a fierce battle was taking place here.

"What's going on?"

"Why is there a cannon shot, is there someone going to attack here?"

"Quick, it's east, send cavalry to the east post to inquire about the situation!"

……

The sound of the cannon shattered the silence of the mirror, and many people woke up from their sleep to ask what was going on. Not only ordinary merchants and ordinary people were panicked, but also the Xiangshan Thousand Households were also difficult to calm down.

The information transmission in this era is undoubtedly backward, and many things can only be guessed, and human beings have a natural fear of the unknown, so many businessmen choose to flee from Haojing.

With the sound of signal cannons coming from the east, it was only then that Xiangshan Qianhu knew that a battle had been discovered at the mouth of the Pearl River, and that there were indeed enemy bandits attacking here from the sea.

It's just that this can't reduce their uneasiness, Haojing is on the west side of the mouth of the Pearl River, once the warships in Nantouzhai can't stop the enemy bandits, it will inevitably be swallowed by the enemy bandits.

"There are dozens of warships attacking the Pearl River estuary, and our Ming warships are at a disadvantage!"

Haojing is an open port, and there are merchant ships that happen to come from the Pearl River wharf, but they witnessed the fighting at the mouth of the Pearl River, so the news is spread to Haojing.

"Dozens of warships attacking the Pearl River estuary? The Ming battleship is invincible? ”

After hearing the news, Hao Jing immediately became panicked. Although they are all businessmen chasing wealth, when their lives are threatened, they naturally choose to save their lives wisely, so more businessmen choose to flee here.

"Send a flare to Ning Haiwei for help!"

The current Xiangshan Thousand Households is Qiao Yifeng, although he is only in his early twenties and his appearance is also delicate, but after the tempering of the battlefield and Hao Jing, he has faintly had the heroic posture of a general, and he gave an order very calmly.

The sky of Haojing looked gloomy, and in this cool cold wind, Qiao Yifeng looked out from the fort towards the sea in the southeast, and this calm sea seemed to be ready to stir up a shocking wave at any time.

It's just that he is fearless in his heart, holding the hilt of the knife at his waist in his hand, and his eyes are firmly looking at the southeast sea. He knew the importance of Haojing, and remembered Lin Haoran's expectations for him more clearly, and he already had the determination to protect this territory, and was even willing to live and die with this territory.

Although no trace of the Japanese has been found so far, and no Japanese ships have come here, the goal of the Japanese has never been to overthrow the Ming Dynasty, and their main purpose is to loot goods.

Although Haojing's wealth is far from being compared with that of Guangzhou City, it is located on the west side of the Pearl River estuary and has no city defense, so it is simply a lamb on the table, and it will definitely be coveted by the Japanese Invaders.

At this moment, he also understood why the man he feared would spare no effort to promote the construction of Xiangshan New Town, which really needed a brick city to firmly guard it.

And his most important responsibility now is to guard this place against the invasion of this gang of pirates.

"Yes!"

A hundred households bowed to Qiao Yifeng, then turned around and gave an order, sending out a rescue signal flare in the direction of the west.

Although they belong to Nanhaiwei, they are geographically closer to Guanghaiwei. In addition, fierce fighting is taking place at this estuary, and it is undoubtedly difficult for the strong man to let Nanhaiwei cross the Pearl River inlet to support them.

Bang!

Moments later, a flare was launched, sending smoke out of the sky.

Although the flare was issued, it was unknown whether Guanghaiwei would send troops to support them, or how many troops would be sent to support them, and it was more dependent on them.

About half an hour later, the sound of artillery at the mouth of the Pearl River gradually decreased.

But I don't know if the two sides have retreated, or if one side has already defeated the other, everything needs to be reported by the sentry to know the situation of the battle.

Time was undoubtedly tormenting, and as the minutes and seconds passed, there was no news from Haojing, which made the people here even more uneasy, and more businessmen chose to flee.

"Probe!"

Qiao Yifeng was like a deaf man at this moment, but he didn't seem too flustered, but continued to give instructions.

At this moment, even he, a thousand households, felt uneasy, there was no news coming, and Guanghaiwei had no reinforcements coming, which was undoubtedly a very bad situation.

The most important thing is that there are no merchant ships arriving at Haojing Wharf through the mouth of the Pearl River, which undoubtedly reveals a very bad signal.

At this moment of crisis, even worse things are quietly happening, and the people who have been hiding in the shadows are also ready to move.

"If you take back the mirror, this place will be owned by everyone, and it will be handed over to you to govern together! Not only do you no longer have to pay a penny of customs duties to this rotten country, but you can also impose customs duties on merchant ships that pass by! ”

Ferdinand, dressed in a priest's attire, was agitating everyone in a large room, using his eloquence to make a loud promise to the Franc Mechanics gathered here.

Since the last humiliation, Ferdinand has been unwilling and has already had an "anti-Ming" heart. In private, he contacted all parties, and with his strong appeal and inducement, he has formed a group of dozens of people.

Although there are not many dozens of people, there are only 400 people in Xiangshanwei here. Now that the Japanese are attacking, once Xiangshan Wei confronts the Japanese invaders, they can carry out a surprise attack from behind, so as to regain control of Haojing.

"We are willing to follow Ferdinand to retake this place!"

Most of the people here are fanatical Portuguese, and they really want to make more profit from it, so they raise their hands and shout in response.
