When people in later generations think of the country of the Netherlands, the first thing that comes to mind is usually his football. Pinshu.com

Friends who are familiar with football know that the Dutch pursue an all-attacking and all-defensive football tactic, a mercury attack. This tactic is a headache for all the back lines in the world. In the 17th century, when it came to the Netherlands, the first thing that Europeans thought of was its navy. On mercury and all offense and defense, the memory that the Dutch Navy brought to its opponent was not only a headache, but also the fear of death. In those days, he had a well-known nickname: the seahorse coachman.

The so-called "seahorse coachman", literally, is to drive a boat as easily as driving, put in the Netherlands, is the ocean of the world, he wants to go wherever he wants, who he wants to fight, and has a virtue with the Yankees of later generations.

With the support of such strength, the Royal Dutch Navy is naturally full of arrogance, and in their opinion, the seas of this world are theirs, so for Zheng Zhilong's request to mediate the contradictions between him and the Portuguese, although Ankos felt a little embarrassed, but after thinking about it, in order to conquer the great cause of the Ming Dynasty, he still pinched his nose and agreed, and today he was taking two warships to Macao to discuss this matter with the Portuguese Governor in Macao, Steve, but he met the Fujian sailors brought out by Lu Guangbiao for sea training.

One is the newborn calf that has just been built and is not afraid of tigers, and the other is the most powerful navy in the world at this time.

It should be noted here that the size of the warships of the Daming Navy Division is described in terms of materials. Before the appearance of tonnage units in ancient China, the size of ships was calculated in units of materials. The early meaning of the material is not only the ship's carrying unit, but the amount of wood used in shipbuilding.

Ancient ships were built of wood, and a ship needed many logs. If it took 20 pieces of wood to build a ship, the ancients would first calculate the amount of materials used. Twenty Feed Ship, which means that it takes twenty pieces of wood to make this ship. Later, as the habit of the name slowly evolved, the shipwright used to measure the size of the ship, and the amount of wood used was calculated. According to approximate estimates, the one material that the ancients said was more than 300 catties in later generations.

In the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army divided the fortune ships used in combat into four grades according to their size. The largest is No. 1, which is also 2,000 materials (about 300 tons). The smallest is No. 4 (i.e., Haicang ship), 500 materials. The No. 2 Fukushu is about 1,500 materials, and the No. 3 Fukushu is about 1,000 materials.

At this time, the two battleships where Ancos was located were typical three-masted warships, with a tonnage of about 200 tons, which was equivalent to the No. 2 Fu ship of the Ming Army, but I have to admit that the Dutch had quite mature combat ideas and experience in this matter, as the "seahorse coachman" who dominated the sea in the seventeenth century, the idea of fighting when encountering the enemy has penetrated into their bones, even if they saw that the three warships of the Ming Army were more than them in terms of tonnage and number, they not only did not have the slightest fear, but rushed head-on.

"My lord, the Dutch are coming towards us!"

Qingyuan, the young first mate looked at the Dutch battleship that was rushing towards them a few miles away, and his face was faintly pale. Lu Guangbiao glanced at the first mate, and sighed secretly, he didn't blame the first mate, you must know that the Fujian Navy Division is just a new force established less than four months ago, and almost all the battleships to the captain and the sailors are rookies, and the combat experience is almost zero, so it is normal for such a fleet to have such a reaction when it meets the enemy, after all, Lu Guangbiao understands that the army is a monster that needs victory and blood to feed, and only continuous battles and victories can make them strong.

Patting the first mate's shoulder heavily, Lu Guangbiao stared at him with serious eyes and said: "Pass my order, wave the flag to the other party, ask them about their identity and intentions, and hang the triangular red flag to prepare to seize the T-word." ”

The first mate, who was shocked by Lu Guangbiao's heavy blow and his shoulder rose faintly, came back to his senses, he took a deep breath and said loudly: "Understood! ”

Soon, the Qingyuan raised a red pennant again, and after seeing this flag, the Ningyuan and Liaoyuan, which followed it, began to turn, and the three warships adjusted their course while observing the wind direction.

At the same time, the Dutch battleships, led by the Flying Flyer on which the Honkos and Rouen were riding, followed by another battleship, the Pony. On the Flying, the lookout reported loudly to them: "Report to the school, the Ming people have sent a flag, asking about our identity and intention. ”

After hearing the lookout's words, Colonel Rouen sneered and said to Onkos: "These yellow-skinned monkeys are really arrogant, when do we Royal Dutch Navy need to report our whereabouts to others." ”

Ang Kes frowned and said, "Colonel Rouen, I don't know if you have noticed, these three warships of the Ming people are not like those traditional blessing ships of theirs. Not only were their tonnage much larger, but they were also very strangely shaped, the largest one resembling the style of the English, the smallest one resembling the Spaniards, and the one I would have thought was our own if it hadn't been flying the Ming flag. ”

"I saw it!"

Colonel Rouen said disdainfully: "This is nothing strange, according to my observation in the past two years, the warship design of the Ming people was originally very backward, so they naturally had to learn from our advanced countries, but unfortunately they learned four different things, and the three battleships actually have three different styles, I really don't know whether to praise them for their ingenuity or to scold them for being stupid." ”

If Yang Feng is here, I'm afraid I will turn against him on the spot, is it easy for Lao Tzu to get these three battleships, he was so belittled by you, and the good life of you Dutch people will not last long, wait for the British to storm your chrysanthemums.

After waiting for a while, without waiting for Rum's answer, the first mate who was waiting next to him was a little anxious and hurriedly asked, "Your Excellency, how do we answer the people of the Ming Kingdom?" ”

Colonel Rouen said indifferently: "You send a flag to tell them that we are the Royal Netherlands Navy, and we are now heading to Macao, let them get out of the way, otherwise we will regard them as hostile to us, and if there is any misunderstanding, they will be responsible for everything!" ”

"Understood!" The first mate immediately left after receiving the order.

And Angkos, who was standing on the side, was a little worried at this time, he hesitated for a moment and then said to Colonel Rouen: "Colonel Rouen, it stands to reason that you are the commander of this fleet, and I shouldn't talk too much about combat issues, but according to my observation, the largest battleship of the Ming people has reached at least 800 tons, and our Flying Ship is less than 300 tons, if we really conflict with them, I'm afraid we will suffer." ”

"Of course I do." Colonel Rouen nodded.

"You know?"

Angos was stunned, since you know that you still take the initiative to provoke them?

"Dear Onkos, don't you see that those Ming people are all a group of rookies?" Colonel Rouen pointed to the three warships of the Ming Kingdom in front of him and said, "Look at it, how many sails are hung on the warships of the Ming people?" ”

"Sails?" Oncos was a little stunned, he picked up the clairvoyant mirror and looked at it, and then he made a surprised voice: "Hmm...... Aren't they full sails? Now the sails continue to be hoisted, what the hell is going on? ”

"Hahaha......"

Colonel Rouen suddenly laughed, pointed to the battleship of the Ming Kingdom in front of him and said: "It seems that you finally found out, just now, I noticed that the largest battleship actually raised its sails, and when it was downwind, it actually hung its sails, do you know what it means?" The sailors who drove these three battleships turned out to be a group of rookies! Dear Onkos, think about it, how much of a sensation it would cause if we could defeat these three Ming warships or even capture them back? At that time, we were heroes, heroes who caused a sensation in the whole country, do you understand? ”

Ankos's eyes slowly brightened, and as the representative of Sir Shornold, the Dutch Governor in Taiwan, his IQ was naturally not low, and he certainly understood how much credit he would have if he could defeat or even capture these three Ming warships. It can be said that if you can really defeat these three Ming warships, it will be of great help to the Netherlands to conquer this ancient empire, at that time, the whole Netherlands will cheer for yourself and the Rouen school, and you and the Rouen school will also become the rising stars of the Dutch military circles, I am afraid that it will not be long before I can be promoted to general!

Thinking of this, Angkos's originally hesitant heart began to become firm, he looked at Rouen and nodded: "Colonel Rouen, since you have made up your mind, as the plenipotentiary representative of Sir Sonord, I will naturally fully support you, let us teach these Ming people how to fight a naval battle!" ”

With the support of Oncos, Colonel Rouen can be said to have received the authorization of Sir Shornod, and the battle order he gave was completely reasonable and legal, and he immediately gave the order to prepare for battle.

Looking down from the sky, the five warships on the sea were approaching rapidly, and the two warships were not only moving quickly but also moving in unison, and they looked well-trained. The other three warships were different, although their tonnage was obviously much larger than the two battleships opposite, but the coordination between the marches was unusually jerky, not only could not keep a distance, but one of them did not even have full sails, almost unable to keep up with the companions in front, in this case, Lu Guangbiao chose to take the lead in firing guns.

"Fire!"

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

The guns on one side of the three battleships all fired at the Flying Flying, which was rushing to the front. For a time, the continuous sound of artillery resounded across the sea. Clusters of firelight burst out, reflecting the sea in a red-red light. Plumes of white smoke kept rising, and the entire sea seemed to be boiling.
