Author: The beggar

In the Ningbo naval battle, Wang Chengen's fleet suffered heavy losses, and the losses were extremely heavy. He was heartbroken and wanted to purchase warships, urge the Longjiang shipyard, which he had completely controlled, to speed up, and hide it from Longjiang again.

Emperor Wu transported a batch of cannons to Hangzhou Bay to strengthen the combat capabilities of the advance fleet.

But what about actually?

Wang Chengen only saw the losses on his side.

The news has also lagged behind. The previous news was still that the advance fleet was stationed in Shanghai County.

The urgent report that came now did not describe the fleet's victory. It was drafted during the cleaning of the battlefield and sent quickly.

Only people near the port of Ningbo Prefecture, those who were lucky enough to watch the merchant ships and civilian ships at sea, and those who fought and retreated to the port, and fought fiercely with the pirates under the sunset in the evening, knew this.

What is going on in this war?

The giant ship flying the banner of the Ming Dynasty was constantly spitting out cannon fire like a giant beast on the sea. The continuous sound of cannons made people on the extremely remote land think that there was a thunderstorm on the distant sea!

A large number of small boats and clippers approached the side of the treasure ship. The pirates were obviously full of despair and fear, but they did not dare to escape easily, because from time to time a ball of fire would burst out from the treasure ship! It was enough to kill everyone on the clipboard.

Everyone is shrouded! Putting them in a dilemma!

They say they want to join gangs, but in reality they are just fighting for their lives!

The sailors on the treasure ship had gone through a lot of training, but they obviously lacked actual combat. Facing the pirate attack, every one of them seemed to have a nervous breakdown! No matter what methods they used, they were piled up indiscriminately.

Then it all became a nightmare for the pirate fleet.

It also made the people on the Zheng family's ship supervising the battle at the edge of the naval battle frightened and terrified.

On one side, the chain-ball shells choked the people and the boat to a complete mess, while on the other side, flames shot up into the sky, and the bombs came overwhelmingly. If the boat just barely scratched the edge, it would be destroyed and everyone would be killed!

In the chaotic naval battle, the advance fleet relied on three giant treasure ships as flagships. Even if multiple ships were forcibly jumped by pirates, they could still maintain the same direction. Although the crew was in chaos, they generally managed to work together as a team!

And relying on the powerful firepower of the three treasure ships as the front and support, the fleet formed a line and went around all the way.

First, they wanted to withdraw to Ningbo Port, but a ship behind them was hijacked and they turned back. They covered the ship and put up a gangplank to rescue the ship. They thought they could leave, but one ship was paralyzed by a fire ship, so they got on the ship's rope and towed it.

Then one of the treasure ships was severely damaged, and the other ships surrounded the treasure ship and slowly returned to Ningbo Port under cover.

It wasn't until the fleet was within sight of everyone at Ningbo Port that they fought for a while with the pirates who were still pursuing them and wanted to rob a treasure ship. The Ningbo government then mobilized troops and the navy came to rescue them.

While relieving the siege, they also repeatedly asked to board the ship to track down the pirates who jumped aboard, saying that they might be hiding on the ship.

But in a blink of an eye, the Ningbo Navy probably considered its own firepower and the plight of pirates at sea, and retreated decisively.

The subsequent fermentation of this naval battle also began to ferment when the advance fleet docked at Ningbo Port.

After the Black Flag treasure ship was installed as the main battleship, the Black Flag navy went on to show off its ferocity in naval battles, but it was against the Japanese country, which was far away from the Ming Dynasty.

This time the advance fleet of the Ming Dynasty Nanyang Company fought in Hangzhou Bay, which can be regarded as the largest naval battle of the Ming Dynasty in recent years.

After the First World War, the news spread throughout Ningbo that the fleet had severely damaged the pirate coalition.

The common people just followed the trend and praised it twice and kept discussing it. After all, Ningbo has a prosperous seaport and there are many people making a living on the sea. Without pirates, their life will be easier.

Also impressed were the large group of foreigners from Ningbo Prefecture.

The common people did not dare to celebrate because the Donglin Party spread the theory of Wang Eunuch, but a group of Japanese, Portuguese and Spanish did not hesitate to express their thoughts on this.

"Let me just say that Ningbo Port and Guangzhou are the largest and most prosperous ports in the world. The ships here can be lined up to form a bridge in the middle of the Mediterranean! How could the Ming Dynasty not have powerful warships?"

"Not as good as the Armada."

"What kind of ancient almanac are those? They are all antiques that have sunk to the bottom of the sea! Look at the warships of the Ming Dynasty. They are beautiful and powerful! The cannons on them have fire-breathing weapons! They are better than the Dutch! The British

The ship is even more powerful!"

The Portuguese and Spanish were arguing over the maritime power, but the Dutch, who had the strongest sea power today, rationally judged the strength of the treasure ship.

"A giant battleship with two decks and at least eighty or even ninety cannons. It is an extremely powerful first-class sailing battleship."

"But it can't be stronger than Bradrod~! It is the strongest, even the sea monster incarnated by Satan will retreat in front of it!!"

"British people will taste great!"

Dutch people are very optimistic.

But this is just the thought of ordinary sailors and businessmen.

The more educated aristocratic missionaries and aristocratic businessmen can naturally see the key points.

"Did you make it?"

"No, even though I said I could be naked and searched by them every day, they still wouldn't let me get on the ship. They only asked me to help them repair it on the shore. The salary was pretty good."

"The one who repairs the artillery."

"No, it's not just those of us who serve God. Other Ming people will be driven away if they come near. They even directly shot the Ming beggars who stayed there under my orders."

Zhu Youjian specifically warned to guard against death, and Wang Chengen naturally conveyed this instruction to his subordinates.

However, the Ming Dynasty scholars, officials, and gentry had different views on this naval battle.

The eunuch's fleet.

The stronger the combat effectiveness, the more dazzling they think.

Moreover, it is impossible that the officials and gentry of Ningbo Prefecture did not know about this huge pirate fleet's attack on the Nanyang Company's fleet. After all, they were also meddling in it.

Due to the Ming Dynasty's maritime ban, the only sea trade business line in the port extended directly to the imperial court. In the past, money had to be sent to Beijing, but now it is sent to Nanjing.

The money to be managed and the business areas that can make money are also roughly divided.

Nanyang Company came out with such a big fanfare, and everyone didn't quite believe that they could open up any new routes or new trade routes. In their perception, they were probably here to grab the cake.

What good things can Wang eun do?

"Okay! Okay! This, Wang Qing is really..."

It's a pity that the memorial they wrote to exaggerate the threat of the king eunuch, "The Nanyang Company's fleet has many guns and cannons, and raged like thunder on the sea all day and night" was handed over to Emperor Longwu, who only made Emperor Longyan very happy.

The Zheng family was still arrogant for a while when he came to the throne.

Zheng Zhilong's first reaction when he arrived in Nanjing was to control Zhu Yujian. Although he did not succeed, the alarm bell in Zhu Yujian's heart had already sounded. Compared with Wang Chengen, Zheng Zhilong's unstoppable official pirates were a bigger problem.

Zhu Yujian was even more excited by the combat effectiveness displayed by the Nanyang advance fleet.
