Daming pirates

After listening to Waite's words, Peter braced himself and said: "The Fujian officials of the Ming Dynasty have been waiting for the arrival of you and the company's fleet. They had completed preparations a month ago and are only waiting for you to arrive.

Then they began to launch an attack on the sea wolves.

Now that you are finally here, the official people of the Ming Dynasty told me that as long as you come here, you will be asked to go to Quanzhou first and escort their fleet and troops to Nanri Island to launch an attack on Sea Wolf!"

Waite was very satisfied with the news and nodded: "It's best this way. We can't stay here for too long. It's better to solve it as soon as possible. The fleet I brought this time is the largest we can use in the East."

After I brought these ships, there were not many ships left in Batavia, so I had to bring the fleet back to Batavia as soon as possible!

Let's do this. You arrange for the people here to resupply the fleet as soon as possible. After I take the fleet to rest here for three days, I will immediately take the fleet to Quanzhou to assist the Ming Dynasty officials in the conquest of Sea Wolf!"

Peter immediately nodded in agreement, but still reminded Waite: "This group of sea wolves is very powerful. I have already verified that the Spaniards did have an incident with the sea wolves in a place called Jilong Bay north of Formosa."

There was a fierce conflict, but he was defeated miserably by the sea wolf.

Judging from the news brought by Xu Xinsu, these sea wolves can not only build their own ships, but also cast their own cannons. More importantly, the quality of the cannons they cast is no worse than the cannons we cast. They are of very good quality and very powerful.

Moreover, they have a large number of warships, so Commander, if you want to lead the fleet there, you must be careful."

Waite showed a look of disdain and laughed: "I will be careful. Although there are such rumors, I don't believe them because these Chinese people like to exaggerate. Their words have never been credible, even if they are from Hainan.

The wolf can forge its own cannon, but how can it be better than the cannon we forge?

As for those Spanish pirates, they are all stupid pigs. They were beaten so badly by such Chinese pirates. Even if they were ambushed, they should not have been beaten so badly. Therefore, their commander is a standard incompetent person.

Such people should only be hanged!

The ships I brought this time are equipped with many cannons. We should let them taste our power, and then they will become respectful to us! Don't worry about this kind of thing! I will be careful!"

Looking at the confident Waite, Peter opened his mouth, but did not continue to speak, but somehow he had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Report to the great master! There is news from the great master. The red-haired man's fleet has finally arrived!" Liu Wang said to Xiaotian as soon as he entered the door.

Yu Xiaotian immediately put down what he was doing, raised his head and asked, "Oh? They are really slow! So what do you think of the news they sent back?"

Liu Wang looked at the note in his hand, raised his head and replied: "The red-haired people came in a total of seven boats this time, of different sizes. The largest boat was about two thousand pieces of material, and the two boats should be about fifteen hundred.

The remaining ships are probably all big ships with thousands of materials. The red-haired people have spent a lot of money this time! Can we deal with so many big ships coming?"

When Yu Xiaotian heard this, he immediately took the note from Liu Wang's hand.

The note was very small, and it must have been sent back in a bamboo tube on the feet of a homing pigeon, so the words on it were also very small, and you had to look carefully to distinguish them.

After reading it again, Yu Xiaotian's expression became somewhat more solemn, and he nodded and said: "It seems to be true. The red-haired man has really invested money this time! There are so many big ships coming, so we need to use all our strength.

, help the government deal with us!"

A large ship with two thousand materials, converted to about 800 tons, is not the largest gunboat in Europe, but in Asia, this ship is already considered a giant ship.

The displacement of the rest of the ships is basically between 400 tons and 600 tons. Looking at the strength of this fleet, it is really unmatched in Asia! It can be said that the Dutch have really spent a lot of money this time.

Wow, they actually sent more ships than during the Battle of Penghu!

In this way, if this Dutch fleet joins the official navy, it will indeed be a trouble. However, Xiaotian has already tailor-made a whole set of feasts for the Dutch before, and now it is

Wait until they come over.

"The order is passed down. Tomorrow there will be a meeting in the conference hall. All the heads of the ministries will be here! It's our turn! Haha!" Although Yu Xiaotian was a little stressed, he didn't feel nervous at all.

Liu Wang nodded excitedly and immediately agreed, turned around and went out to start arranging to inform the generals of various departments about tomorrow's meeting in the meeting hall.

When everyone gathered in the Wolf Cave meeting hall, Yu Xiaotian strode out from behind and sat on the big chair in the middle.

"See you, Mr. Master!" Everyone in the meeting hall immediately stood up and bowed to Xiaotian, clasping their fists and saying.

"Okay, no need to be polite, let's stop talking nonsense and get down to business! The red-haired people's fleet has already arrived. As expected, they will go to Quanzhou in the next few days to join the army. Now

It’s time for the sub-official army to begin their campaign against us!”

After everyone heard the news, they immediately cheered up and showed excitement on their faces.

"Mr. Lin, please tell everyone the news you have collected recently!" Yu Xiaotian waved everyone to sit down, and then said to Lin Yiyang.

During this period, Lin Yiyang basically took over all the work of intelligence compilation, collecting the intelligence collected from various places for analysis and sorting. This shared a lot of workload for Yu Xiaotian, and Yu Xiaotian did not have to bury himself in the

Among the huge amount of information, I personally did all kinds of sorting and analysis, and I could basically grasp the specific situation by listening to Lin Yiyang's report directly.

After hearing this, Lin Yiyang didn't waste any time. He took out a piece of paper, stood up and said to everyone in the meeting hall: "Everyone, after collecting data over the past few months, I have sorted out the current situation of the army.

!

This time, Fujian Governor Zhu Yifeng mobilized a total of about 20,000 troops, which was known to the outside world as an army of 50,000. Among them, the Army Division, including Fubiao and Zhenbiao, mobilized a total of about 10,000 troops, including 3,000

The left and right are considered elites, and the rest are just some suppressing troops, so there is nothing to worry about! However, the number is still quite large, so I hope you can be more careful about this.

This time, the Fujian government mobilized basically all the naval forces along the coast of Fujian. A total of more than 270 ships were assembled, of which there were about 140 big two-masted ships, and the rest were basically

It's a sloop or two-masted ship worth less than 200 yuan.

As for the Fujian government, a total of more than 120 red barbarian cannons of various types were prepared this time, more than a hundred of which were installed on some large ships. In addition, more than a hundred new captive-killing cannons were also cast, and the Lu division was equipped with

There are twenty Hongyi cannons, and no less than a hundred cannons for destroying prisoners and tiger squatting cannons. It can be said that they are all elite.

At present, the warships of the government and army are mainly concentrated in Dinghai City, Fuzhou and Yongningwei, Quanzhou, while the army divisions are gathered in Xinghuafu, Fuzhou and other places. They only wait for Zhu Yifeng's order to launch an attack on our Nanri Island.

attack.

As for the red-haired people, a total of seven large plywood boats came this time, including one with two thousand materials, two with one thousand five hundred materials, and four with one thousand materials.

…That’s basically what happened!”

After everyone listened to the information reported by Lin Yiyang, they were both nervous and excited. They had been waiting for this day for a long time. During the past three months, each of them did not dare to slack off and had to take care of them almost every day.

I started practicing endlessly just for this day to come.

Now that the red-haired man's fleet has arrived, the attack by the army will begin soon. According to their original plan, the navy will immediately leave the port and launch operations.

So everyone felt that adrenaline began to be secreted in large quantities, and they became excited involuntarily.

"Okay! This is the general situation. If nothing unexpected happens, the army will definitely come within ten days, so let's start according to the original plan! Since they want Nanri Island so much, then let's give it to them

That's it they are!

I command!"

Yu Xiaotian stood up and said after Lin Yiyang finished reporting the situation on the army and the Dutch side.

When Yu Xiaotian said my order, everyone in the hall immediately stood up with a roar. Everyone showed eagerness on their faces and stared at Yu Xiaotian with wide eyes.

"From now on, all workshops on the island will be shut down, and all dismantling facilities will be disassembled, loaded on ships, and shipped away from Nanri Island.

Among them, artillery and gun-making work equipment and various materials are temporarily transferred to Donghai Village! After this battle, a site will be selected for reconstruction!

Those who are willing to leave the island will be shipped out by ship. Those who are willing to go to Tamsui will be transported to Tamsui. Those who are unwilling to go and want to stay on Nanri Island will be temporarily transported to Treasure Island for resettlement.

If you really don’t want to leave the island, you must first take shelter in the mountains. As for the village, we still use the old method, with strong walls and clear fields, without leaving anything useful to the officers and soldiers!

The boat house will stop working from now on, and all tools will be temporarily transported into the mountains and hidden, or buried in a selected location. The dock door will be dismantled, and all unused wood will be buried on the spot.

All the dependents in Dazhai have been transferred to Tamsui City for resettlement. Accommodations have been prepared for them there and they will not suffer!

All transshipment work is carried out by the merchant fleet, and the Third Fleet is responsible for escorting and assisting in the transshipment of supplies.

The first and second fleets all went to station at Wuqiu Island.

The first battalion of the army, led by Li Dazui, stayed on Nanri Island and went into hiding in the mountains to wait for orders. The second battalion, led by Meng Fei, went to Wuqiu Island with the first and second fleets to wait for orders. The third battalion and one company went to Treasure Island to garrison, and the second and third battalions went to Treasure Island to garrison.

Lian went to Donghai Village to wait for orders!

The engineering company began to demolish the walls of Langxing Village from now on, and all the artillery forts were blown up. As for the houses and warehouses, except for a few left behind, the rest that could be demolished were demolished on the spot, and those that were too late were set on fire!..."
