Chapter 1036: Zheng Sen's Ambition

The sailors entering the port suddenly attacked, took out the swords, guns, bows and arrows that had been brought in through the checkpoint earlier, and attacked the Portuguese fort in the middle of Ho Jing O.

There was no war, the Portuguese had no embankment at all, and there were only five black soldiers on duty on the battery, mainly to prevent the Ming people on the island from approaching the artillery.

In the face of the dozens of sailors who suddenly came up, several black soldiers panicked, and before they could reload the pellets of the muskets, the sailors had already killed the cannonballs, slashing and stabbing several black soldiers in a pool of blood.

On the wharf, dozens of sailors who were responsible for helping to carry the goods rushed to the Portuguese on the wharf, and more sailors disguised as Zheng Jun's soldiers came out of the cargo hold of the sea ship with swords and rushed to the wharf close at hand, and the number of people was as many as three or four hundred. Together with the dozens of soldiers who attacked the fort, Chen Yonghua organized a total of 500 soldiers to carry out a sneak attack on Macao.

The fort was captured, the soldiers of the Zheng army were killed on the pier, the Portuguese in Macau had no idea what was happening, and the whole Ho Jing Macao was in chaos.

The Portuguese governor of Macau hastily organized his army and tried to fight back against the enemy, but the unsuspecting Portuguese were scattered all over the island, and it was not so easy to assemble them in a short time.

Without a fort to block it, more and more Zheng warships sailed straight into the harbor, put down their boats and headed for the pier. Under the internal and external attacks, the defenses that had defeated the English and Dutch did not play their due strength at all.

The three Portuguese warships in the harbor had not even pulled up their anchors before they had been killed by Zheng soldiers in small boats.

Seeing thousands of enemy soldiers rushing onto the island, the Portuguese governor Paulo Coelho knew that there was no point in resisting any longer, so he decisively ordered the white flag to surrender.

"I protest, we Portuguese live in Macau with the permission of your Ming Emperor, we pay you a huge rent every year, you can't treat us like this."

Until he was escorted to Chen Yonghua, Governor Paul thought that it was the Ming army that attacked him, and shouted at Chen Yonghua.

After listening to the translator's translation, Chen Yonghua smiled: "Tell him who we are?" ”

"Listen to the red-haired ghost of the dog day, we are not the army of the imperial court, we are the Jingnan army, and we are specially working against the imperial army." A guard shouted.

After listening to the translation, Paul's face turned pale, and then he realized that it was not the Ming army that attacked Macau, but the rebels, the pirates!

"Honorable general, I don't know when I offended you, but for God's sake, please be kind to us Portuguese, you can take the silver wealth of Macau, please don't kill us." Paul was also bare-hearted, and directly changed his tone.

Chen Yonghua smiled: "Tell him that although he can rest assured, as long as he is obedient, he will not kill people casually." ”

In Chen Yonghua's eyes, these Portuguese are all treasures, and the driving of plywood boats and the casting and use of artillery are inseparable from them.

There was such a big movement in Haojingao, which immediately attracted the attention of Xiangshan County on the opposite side, and a group of hundreds of Ming troops drove towards Haojingao from the land, but was ordered by Chen Yonghua to be repulsed. But Chen Yonghua also knew that he couldn't delay more time here, and it wouldn't be long before more and more Ming troops would come here, and if he was entangled by the Ming army, it would be very troublesome.

Therefore, be sure to evacuate Haojing Ao before the arrival of the Ming army in Guangdong!

So Chen Yonghua ordered the removal of the fort cannons, and the arsenal of the Portuguese man-made artillery guns was also removed and transported onto the ship, and by the way, the wealth of the Portuguese on the island was looted, and the wealth and materials seized were enough to load three large ships. Hundreds of captured Portuguese on the island were selected, craftsmen who knew how to make artillery and muskets, and seafarers who were proficient in seafaring, were escorted on board, numbering about 100 people, and the rest of the Portuguese and black mercenaries were abandoned on the island.

On the third day, before the Ming navy in Guangdong arrived, Chen Yonghua led more than 5,000 soldiers and left Macao on more than 100 sailing ships.

The fleet sailed towards Luzon Island in the southeast, and Chen Yonghua was to join up with the army led by Zheng Sen to attack Manila.

.......

To the south of the ocean, a huge fleet of more than 200 sailing ships was passing by. When a fishing boat from the east saw this scene, it immediately turned its bow and headed towards Pingnan City on Dayuan Island, wanting to report the news to Pingnan City.

Zheng Sen didn't want to pay attention to the fishing boat at all, he had no interest in Dongfan Island. Of course, it's not that he is not interested, but he knows that Dongfan Island is well defended, with a large number of artillery and a strong army, and almost all the people on the entire island are soldiers, even if Dongfan's fleet is not on the island with Wang Yin now, it is not so easy to capture the island.

Zheng Sen led the army to leave South Australia on the third day of Chen Yonghua's departure. This departure was a great sacrifice, and most of the soldiers' families on the island of South Australia were abandoned.

Without such sacrifices, there is no way for South Australia to have ships that simply cannot afford to carry so many people. Although there are seven or eight hundred ships in South Australia, only about 200 can be used for ocean voyages, and the remaining small boats can sail offshore.

In order to cover the retreat of the army, Zheng Sen's second uncle Zheng Hongkui took the initiative to take 20,000 people in a small boat and launched an attack on the island where the Ming army was stationed. Zheng Sen took the opportunity to flee Nanao with the remaining 30,000 troops in a large ship and sailed in the direction of Luzon.

Uncle Zheng Hongkui attacked the Ming army with a powerful fleet with 20,000 troops and hundreds of small boats, and he knew that there was a lot of luck when he thought about it, but Zheng Sen was also helpless. For revenge, for the sake of the Zheng family, this is an inevitable sacrifice.

This attack on Luzon, Zheng Sen can be described as desperate, if it fails, the Zheng family's strength will be weakened to the limit, and they can only become pirates. And if it succeeds, with the thousand-mile island of Luzon, the Zheng family will be greatly developed. Luzon has manpower and fertile fields, as long as you recruit Ming people to cultivate and reclaim the land, and then rely on trade to earn silver, it will not take many years for you to have a strong strength, and once the mainland changes, you can attack the mainland from the sea.

Even if you can't counterattack the mainland, with the rich Luzon, you are enough to open a country overseas, Luzon Java Borneo, there are too many ownerless lands overseas waiting to be conquered, Chen Yue Xiao'er, and let you dominate in the Ming Dynasty.

Standing on the bow of the tall fortune boat, feeling the sea breeze blowing from the hunt, and looking at the boundless sea, Zheng Sen's heart rose with ten thousand pride.
