Chapter 640: Encirclement and Suppression of Shuangyu Port (II)

Yu Dayou led dozens of ships, biting behind the butts of the two Western ships, and it is estimated that three masts were broken, so the speed of one of the Western ships became slower and slower, and after chasing for dozens of miles, the Western ships slowly stopped moving, and the stern was also raised high, and it seemed to be stranded. And, perhaps fearing that the ship would capsize, the ship's Yoban lowered all the sails and even dropped anchor.

"Haha, Boss Yu, our method has worked." Feng Lao Liu grinned widely, happy to see his teeth but not his teeth.

Yu Dayou also showed excitement at this time, and immediately ordered the fleet to sail over and surround the Western ships. At this time, everyone saw that the Western ship was not stranded, but was entangled in a large number of fishing nets, and these fishing nets also involved a large number of dead wood and tree stumps, which undoubtedly brought huge resistance to the Western ship, and finally even pulled the whole ship up the "tail".

It turned out that these fishing nets and wood were arranged by Yu Dayou for Su Qing Snake to be scattered on the waterway, and he himself was not sure whether it worked, so he didn't expect that these fishing nets and wood had made an unexpected contribution.

In fact, these fishing nets were not enough to entangle the six-masted Western ship, but the unlucky Western ship was blown off by three masts, and its power was seriously weakened, so it was entangled in the fishing nets, and the undamaged Western ship escaped with hundreds of fishing nets.

Although he failed to leave both Western ships behind, it was not bad to capture one bow, and Yu Dayou had already coveted the Francophone guns on the Western ships, so he immediately ordered an attack.

There were about sixty or seventy men on the ships, and these Westerners clearly did not intend to be killed, and they fought back stubbornly with arquebuses, bows and arrows, spears, and broadswords.

After a tragic bloody battle, the Ming army paid nearly 100 lives, and only then did it successfully board the bow of the Western ship, and the red-eyed Jinshan guards did not care how the Westerners knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and directly killed the surviving Yangfan, and the injured and undead also cut off their heads with a knife and put them into the sack as military merits.

In their eyes, foreigners are just a group of foreign barbarians, and the court also directly calls foreigners Fanren in the official text, and "Fan" is derogatory, which shows that the Chinese people generally look down on foreigners at this time.

When Yu Dayou dragged the Western ship back to Shuangyu Port in triumph, it was already sunset, and the golden snakes were dancing on the sea. When Qi Jingtong heard that Yu Dayou had captured a Western-style ship, he couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly ran to see what was going on.

When Qi Jingtong saw that Yu Dayou really dragged a big Western ship back, and the ship was still very intact, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up in surprise.

The soldiers of Jin Shanwei proudly held their heads high, carrying the arquebuses captured from the foreigners on their shoulders, and proudly accepted the attention of their comrades.

"This is the Westerner musket? Show me! Guo Jindiao snatched an arquebus from Feng Lao Liu's hand, played with it for a while, and then threw it back to Feng Lao Liu, and said in disappointment: "What a broken thing, it can't compare to the flintlock pistol of our 500 battalion." ”

The shape of the Western-style arquebus is very similar to the flintlock pistol, and it also has a plate machine and a butt, but it still needs to be ignited by a fire rope to ignite the bullet. Therefore, although the arquebus is stronger than the Ming army's firecracker, it is relatively backward compared with the flintlock gun, and it cannot be used in rainy days, and the open flame is also easy to expose the position, which is not conducive to ambush warfare.

Feng Lao Liu rolled his eyes, wiped the body of the arquebus like a baby, and said sourly: "Mr. Guo, your five hundred battalions are raised by your mother, and our local guards are raised by your mother, it's not like it, it's good to have an arquebus." ”

Qi Jingtong scolded with a smile: "Come on, don't be sour, you kid, it's true that our 500 battalions are well equipped and well paid, but they are all tough battles and hard bones, what is there to be unconvinced about your kid." ”

Feng Lao Liu was speechless for a moment, although they captured a Western-style ship this time, it was indeed five hundred battalions that took Shuangyu Port, so it was also five hundred battalions that contributed the most and contributed the most.

Qi Jingtong ignored Feng Lao Liu, he was more interested in the Franc cannon on the ship than the foreigner's arquebus, so he walked to a Franc cannon and observed it carefully.

Yu Dayou came up and said like a treasure: "Qi Qianhu, you see, the Westerners' artillery was originally loaded with ammunition in the buttocks, and each one was equipped with three sub-cannons, which could be fired directly into the back of the buttocks of the mother cannon, and immediately after the battle, it was replaced with another sub-cannon, so it greatly shortened the time to fill gunpowder, his grandmother's, no wonder this cannon hit quickly." ”

Su Qingsnake said proudly: "Qi Qianhu, we have captured thirty-two artillery pieces of Westerners, this is a miracle feat, right?" ”

Qi Jingtong said with a smile: "Miraculous skills are definitely not counted, but they can be regarded as secondary merits, and rewards are indispensable." ”

Su Qingsnake said unconvinced: "The artillery of the Westerners is sharp, why is it not a miracle that we have captured such a sharp weapon for the Ming Dynasty?" ”

It is necessary to explain here that in the twelfth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, military merits were divided into three grades, miraculous merits, first merits and secondary merits, the level of merit was different, and the specifications of rewards were also different, and the rewards for miraculous merits were the most generous.

Yan Lang, the gunner of the 500 battalion next to him, said with a smile: "Because this kind of Franco cannon has long been available in our army, a few years ago, Lord Xu dedicated the drawings of the Fran cannon to the emperor, and the emperor ordered the Nanjing Ordnance Bureau to research and manufacture, and it was made the year before last, and last year it was equipped with the Guangdong Naval Division." ”

Su Qingshe couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and said suspiciously: "It's really fake, Lord Qincha was still a scholar a few years ago, where did you get the drawings of the Franco machine?" Has he seen the Furlong cannon? Don't blow it! ”

Yan Lang pouted and said: "Lonely and unheard, I am a frog at the bottom of the well, thinking that others are also frogs at the bottom of the well?" Not to mention anything else, the flintlock pistol was invented by our adults, but you should blow one for Lao Tzu to see. ”

Su Qingsnake couldn't help but blush, after all, the sharpness of the flintlock pistol was obvious to all.

Qi Jingtong picked up a gun and weighed it and said: "Although the Nanjing Ordnance Bureau has copied the Franco machine artillery, Lao Tzu has not seen it, and I don't know if it is comparable to the artillery made by the Westerners themselves, so these thirty-two cannons are also very precious, pay attention to keep them well, don't lose them to Lao Tzu and break them." ”

Su Qingsnake became proud again when he heard this, and asserted: "Don't look at it, the things made by the Nanjing Ordnance Bureau are definitely not as good as these genuine ones, just look at the bowl cannon made by those guys, it didn't take long to crack and explode, if it is as fast as the fire rate of the Fran cannon, it is estimated that the barrel of the cannon will not be able to stand it after a dozen rounds." ”

This time, it was Yan Lang's turn to roll his eyes and say sourly: "Yes, yes, yes, the Franc cannon you captured is the most powerful, and it is a miracle, I envy Lao Tzu." ”

Qi Jingtong couldn't help but be a little funny, left the two bickering guys, pulled Yu Dayou aside and asked, "Didn't you catch a prisoner?" ”

Yu Dayou spread his hands and said: "It's all slaughtered, these guys are stubborn, they killed hundreds of us, and everyone can bear it as soon as they get on the boat, so they all cut it down." ”

Qi Jingtong could only sigh regretfully, if there was a living mouth, it was estimated that he would be able to obtain some useful information about Westerners. Recently, Westerners have been quite active along the coast of Daming, and last year they also fought a battle with the Guangdong Navy Division on Tuen Mun Island.

When it was almost dark, Xia Yan also returned to Shuangyu Island with the fleet, and the harvest was not big, only intercepting the five thief ships, and the rest ran away, including Wang Zhi and Ori Shin Miko and others were not caught.

A group of officers and soldiers buried pots on the island to cook and rest for one night, and the next day, Xia Yan ordered people to transport all kinds of sundries, and scuttled a large number of captured ships, blocking Shuangyu Port, so as not to prevent thieves from coming back in the future.

After destroying the port of Yuzhou, Xia Yan led the army to escort the prisoners, sailed to the mainland, and went straight to Ningbo Fucheng after landing. The local gentry in Ningbo, who had already received the news, were frightened and discussed countermeasures in tandem, while some simply rolled up and fled with their families. For example, Xu Dongliang, the head of the Hui Chamber of Commerce, took his family to the sea overnight and fled to the coastal areas of Guangdong in panic to avoid trouble.
