Chapter 571: So Fast
Although Yang Feng didn't know much about naval warfare, he was deeply influenced by the military theories of later generations, but he understood a truth, attack is the best defense.
Although the Fujian Navy Division did not have the strength to launch a general attack on Zheng Zhilong and the Dutch entrenched in Taiwan, Yang Feng thought that with the advantage of the third-class warships, it would not be difficult to give them a little color.
Since it was decided to give Zheng Zhilong and the Dutch a look, Yang Feng quickly issued an order for the assembly of the fleet at the first time, and then he handed over the matter of Shaoxing to Tian Ergeng, and ordered Yang Daniu, Geng Bingyi and others to lead the Jiangning army to assist Tian Ergeng, and he returned to Xiamen with Hai Lanzhu and other women the next day.
In mid-March of the eighth year of the Apocalypse, the Fujian Navy Division assembled at the port of Xiamen. And this assembly was not tight, and the spies lurking in Xiamen were all shocked, especially the spies affiliated to Zheng Zhilong, who jumped in fright.
The Fujian Navy Division has developed to the present, although the number of warships is still far inferior to that of the Zheng Group, but the quality of the warships has to be reversed.
Needless to say, the third-level battleships equipped by the Fujian Navy Division, even the fifth- and sixth-level battleships are time-tested in another time and space, both in terms of performance and speed, they have almost reached the peak of sail battleships, and when this force is concentrated, no one dares to ignore them.
No matter what era it is, it is common for two forces to send spies to each other's hostile territory, although Zheng Zhilong's influence on the mainland has been cleared, it is still very easy to lurk a few spies.
Although the spies didn't know what the purpose of the Fujian Navy Division was to assemble, they still sent the news as quickly as possible, and at the same time that the spies sent the news, Yang Feng also led a total of fifty-six warships towards Bengang.
"What, the Fujian sailors are massing and are suspected of dealing with us?"
In a hall in the old nest of the Bengang Zheng Group
Zheng Zhilong stood up and looked condescendingly at the spy who was kneeling on the ground to report.
"Exactly!" Although the spies who had been hurrying day and night on a clipper boat for several days were very tired, he still bothered and said: "So that the big boss will know that our brothers who are lurking in Xiamen have found that the ships of the Fujian Navy Division have returned one after another five days ago.
At first, the brothers thought that they were returning to the port normally to recuperate, but soon the brothers found that even the warships of the Second Fleet began to appear in the port, and the leader Wang realized that the Fujian Navy Division must have a big move, and eight out of ten Inine are coming at us, so he sent a villain to report the news. ”
Zheng Zhilong couldn't see any look on his face, "Thank you for your hard work, come on, take this brother down to rest, and double the reward!" ”
"Thank you!"
The spy who reported the news had a happy look on his face, and soon went down.
After the report went down, Zheng Zhilong said to the people in the hall with a gloomy face: "Brothers, what do you think about this matter?" ”
Zheng Zhihu took the lead in standing up and said with a hideous face: "Big brother, what else is there to say about this matter, since the kid surnamed Yang wants to find death, let's fulfill him." Wait, big brother, and take me to the sea to destroy the brethren in my headquarters! ”
"No!" Zheng Zhibao hurriedly stood up and objected, "The Fujian Navy Master is not a soft persimmon, how effective it is, all the brothers here must know it in their hearts, we must not underestimate the enemy." ”
Zheng Zhihu's eyes glared: "Old Five, everyone is knocking on the door, is it possible that you still want to be a turtle with a shrunken head?" ”
Zheng Zhilong frowned, and shouted: "Second child, how do you speak, how did the fifth elder become a shrinking turtle when he said something serious?" ”
For Zheng Zhihu, the only person in this world who can make him bow his head is his eldest brother Zheng Zhilong, who lowered his head a little aggrieved when he heard this: "Don't say it's not, our old capital is all here, since Yang Feng brought his Fujian sailors, what else can we do except fight hard?" ”
Everyone looked at each other after hearing this, and they were all speechless, because Zheng Zhihu's words did make sense, after all, Bengang was built by them with several years of painstaking efforts, and more importantly, there are more than 30,000 immigrants here who have worked hard to recruit over the years.
In the past, when Yang Feng did not arrive in Fujian, the pirates of the Zheng Group had the upper hand when they fought with the Ming government, they came and went like the wind, and the government could only passively beat them while they were helpless, and these pirates finally tasted the distress of the Ming government in the past, which is the difference between having territory and not having a chassis.
After pondering for a long time, Zheng Zhilong sighed helplessly: "Since there is no way, then we can only do it with the Fujian sailors, after all, we can't give up Bengang no matter what." ”
"Big brother and slow." Zheng Zhibao suddenly said: "Big brother, brothers, I think that even if you want to fight a decisive battle with the Fujian Navy, you have to pull the Dutch to fight together, otherwise it will be too cheap for them?" ”
"That's right!"
Zheng Zhibao's words can be said to have woken up the people in their dreams, and the leaders have woken up, we are fighting against Yang Feng and Fujian sailors for the sake of the Dutch, and now that something happens, we can't just let us go, let the Dutch watch the excitement on the side, it's too cheap for them.
"It's still thoughtful, we must not be cheap for those red-haired devils!" Zheng Zhihu slapped his thigh and shouted.
"By the way, who are we trying to attack the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty these days, isn't it to attract the attention of Fujian sailors for those red-haired devils, now that people are knocking on the door, naturally we can't let them stay out of the matter."
For a while, the crowd in the hall shouted passionately.
"Good!" Zheng Zhilong also nodded, "In that case, Old Five, you should make a hard trip, go to Geranza City in person, and tell the Dutch Governor Sonord, this time they don't want to watch a show, at least they have to send their warships out to support us, otherwise don't blame us for not being righteous." ”
"I understand big brother!" Zheng Zhibao immediately understood what Zheng Zhilong meant, "Then I'll leave now." ”
"Good...... You go now, I'm ......."
"Report ......"
Before Zheng Zhilong's words were finished, a pirate ran into the hall and said loudly: "Big boss, it's not good, our patrol ship has discovered the Fujian Navy Division's brigade, and it is coming towards us!" ”
"What...... So fast! ”
