According to ancient communications, the speed of sailboats was difficult to control and the positioning technology at that time, although they had been exercised in advance, no one could guarantee that they could meet on time and launch an attack at the same time.

Not to mention sailing ships, even steam and fuel warships hundreds of years later, stagnate or avoid wind and waves in the vast sea.

Therefore, Chen Yourong mobilized so much military force, and he had the idea of ​​just in case. Since the emperor wanted to wipe out all the troops, at least he had to deal with it heavily, it was natural for him to seek stability.

This strategy for seeking stability is that each squadron is very strong. Even if Hong Maoyi dispatches more than a dozen warships, each squadron has the ability to fight alone.

In fact, Shen Yourong's strategy of seeking stability really worked. Before the Ming army could completely encircle, the Red Mao Yi's fleet sailed westward and only stayed in the waters adjacent to Macau for two days.

The reason is also very simple. Hongmaoyi discovered that the Portuguese did not even have warships in Macau, and the so-called blockade was completely empty.

Of course, they can also squat for a long time to stop Portuguese ships coming from Goa.

However, when Hong Maoyi wanted to stop at the Guangzhou port to replenish freshwater supplies, they were rejected by the Ming government, so they had to turn to Jinlan Bay to seek a supply transit port.

This was the Dutch's last attack on Macau. Cam Ranh Bay has the port of Nanruan Beizheng, two major forces in Annan. Nanruan had a connection with the Portuguese and purchased muskets and cannons from the Portuguese.

Bei Zheng obtained advanced weapons from the Dutch Red and Maowen Yi and launched attacks and battles again and again.

It is also interesting to say that Annan, Nanruan, Beizheng can dispatch more than 100,000 people at a time, while Nanruan has up to 20,000 people, but no one can eat anyone after a fight for decades or hundreds of years.

The Dutch Red and Maowen Yi wanted to replenish supplies, but was encountering the First Squadron dispatched from Saigon Port. The first foreign war of the Ming Navy began.

This was beyond the expectations of the Ming navy, nor was it considered by the Dutch. The Dutch also had some information about the Ming navy. They believed that they did not want to go to war with the Ming Dynasty as enemies unless they had no choice.

First of all, there was no benefit to go to war with Ming. The Dutch attacked Macau several times, just to replace the Portuguese and establish a stable and reliable trade base;

Secondly, the Ming Navy was growing stronger and more powerful, with the help of maritime merchant groups, which could threaten the Dutch merchant ships to Japan's trade routes.

Finally, there is another point that angered the Ming Dynasty, and the Dutch were even less able to obtain supplies. Silk, porcelain, sugar, and mirrors were not available openly. They were very jealous of the Portuguese in Macau.

When the Ming squadron's sentry ship discovered the Dutch Red-Mao Yi, it immediately released a rocket signal. Gan Hui quickly issued an order, the ship set up its formation and prepared various weapons.

The Dutch discovered the Ming Navy's whistle and also saw the signals they sent, but they did not think that the Ming Navy would go to war with them.

Although the Dutch also raised their vigilance and adjusted their course to avoid it, dozens of large warships of the Ming Navy appeared in sight and blocked them in combat formation.

Taking the initiative, Gan Hui ordered the fleet to slow down the speed, and the artillery commander quickly calculated the distance. Within the maximum range, the rockets on the deck of the battleship took the lead and rushed towards the enemy ship with their flame tails.

Boom, Boom, Boom... As the fleets of both sides approached, hundreds of rockets flew through the air, exploding in the front, back, left and right of the Dutch ships, and in the air.
