Chapter 410: The sea is defeated, and the army is forced to force Macau

Whether it is rockets, Garang artillery, or even the formation of the discharged defense, interception, or assault, they are practical exercises conducted by the Ming Navy.

Such an opportunity is too rare and cannot be compared with ordinary training. Although there are target ships in exercises and training, the bombardment of rocket artillery seems to be the same, but it cannot be compared with the mentality and situation changes on the battlefield.

Therefore, training is essential, just to increase proficiency. Practical combat is to sharpen and test, so that soldiers can adapt to the battlefield environment and maintain a relatively stable mentality.

The more actual combat, the better the soldiers adapt and the more stable they perform.

It is precisely because of this that the Ming Navy used various tactical strategies to test the effect of practical application. Even if it suffers more damage from war, it is worth it.

Only bloody experiences and lessons will be unforgettable and will make people better absorb and improve.

Of course, this is a style of play that will only be adopted if one has an absolute advantage and is sure to win.

Just six Galen sailing warships, the Ming Navy almost came out in full swing and was well prepared.

In fact, this is also the meaning of wanting to use war instead of training. Even if there are too many people who can't get involved, you can see the naval battle or even see the miserable failure of the Red-Farewell Yi, and the morale of the navy soldiers will also increase.

The Red-Fao Yi is just like this. If he has such an impression in his heart, he will not feel afraid when he goes to war with the Dutch, but will have some psychological advantages.

As it turns out, this arrangement is correct.

The dense rockets gave the Dutch a sudden and violent blow, while the Garan guns made a final decision at close range, and heavy shells with the same caliber as the Canon heavy gun caused devastating damage to the Dutch warships.

More than a dozen assault warships flew across three enemy ships, and the bombardment of hundreds of Garran guns immediately sank two Garen ships, while the other was severely damaged and lost its combat capability.

The assault fleet flew past the enemy ships, turned around and returned in a graceful arc, preparing to bombard the other side of the gunfire, and the battle was over.

The remaining Dutch fell sails and lowered the flag, sending a signal of surrender.

Bru's face was bleak and gave an order to stop resisting. This round of fierce shelling shattered his only fantasy. So many heavy artillery could not be resisted by these Garen ships.

Until now, he didn't know that the Ming army used the Galang artillery, which had a large caliber, a thin barrel and a short range. Although he was puzzled why the Ming army's warships could carry so many Canon artillery.

"I won!" Zheng Zhihu was still a little impressed, although he was full of confidence in victory before and during the war.

The exercises are completely different from actual combat. One is a relatively relaxed mentality, the other is nervous and full of excitement. Watching the enemy ship be hit by shells and watching the enemy ship catch fire and burn, it is exciting and exciting.

Huh! Hong Xu let out a long breath, relaxing his nervous body and mind.

Despite the intention of actual combat training and testing, the smaller the combat losses, the better. Although the specific numbers have not been reported, he can also understand it briefly. This fleet seems to have only severe damage, but not sunk.

The same mentality was Gan Hui from another fleet. He held up his telescope and looked around, estimating the battle damage of the fleet.

Without a rush to fight, with the long-range bombardment of rockets and cannons, the most important number of ship artillery, caused great losses to the Dutch and greatly weakened their combat power.

Victory is not good?! Maybe there is such an idea, but it is not too much to ensure victory after the first battle after the Navy was formed.

Outside Guangzhou City.

Zheng Zhilong has neat clothes and is supervising the large-scale construction on the open space outside the city.

The mall area has begun to take shape, and the final construction will be completed soon. This is the commercial port set up in Guangzhou.

Although there were shopping malls in Guangzhou before, their scale is several times larger and can accommodate thousands of merchants. Of course, this is just the first phase of expansion.

There are not many commercial ports in thousands of shopping malls, and it is not the best in Southeast Asia.

Taking the Zheng family of Annan as an example, in the middle of the 16th century, Huxian (now Xing'an, Haixing Province, Vietnam) was specially established as a commercial port where merchants concentrated on trading.

Later, Nan Zheng allowed the Dutch to set up shops in Huxian, and the Japanese and Siamese people also entered Huxian in large numbers, with more than 2,000 merchants from various countries.

Because of its commerce, Annan City "ranks first in the capital and second in the Constitution".

During the Chongzhen period in history, due to the domestic wars, many businessmen from Guangdong and Fujian also engaged in business in Luxian, mainly engaged in traditional Chinese medicine, fabrics, spices, honey, silk and silk fabrics.

In addition to spending a lot of formal channels, the Constitution became the only source of raw and cooked silk in China. The Dutch and British established shopping malls here to operate silk trade.

Now, the expansion and improvement of Guangzhou's commercial ports and the relaxation of maritime trade have changed history. The decline of the constitution is inevitable, and Guangzhou's prosperity will reach its peak.

Zheng Zhilong withdrew his look and turned to the officer who was stroking, with a smile on his face and stepped forward to greet him.

"Mr. Zheng." The officer bowed and bowed.

"General Wang." Zheng Zhilong did not dare to neglect and returned the courtesy.

Wang Huazhong has a reputation as a martial arts student, but he has been a martial arts student for many years under Shen Youhua's command. He participated in the Lushun battle at the Denglai Navy Division. Later, he led his troops to expand his territory in Mekong Province, and has rich practical experience.

"The army has been prepared and can head towards Haojing at any time." Wang Hualong said straight to the point: "As for the war with the Red and Mao Yi, our army will undoubtedly win."

Zheng Zhilong nodded repeatedly, without doubting this, but said cautiously: "When the navy returns from a great victory, it will not be too late to show its military power to the Portuguese, and then enter the Haojie."

After pausing, he added: "If the Portuguese resisted by force, as long as the navy bombarded heavily and destroyed the fort, it would be enough to defeat the Portuguese's stubborn intention of resisting."

Wang Hualong smiled and said, "The Portuguese are not good at land combat and melee combat, and their troops are only two or three hundred. Our army's weapons are sharp, so we can win it in one battle. Fortresses are mainly used to defend against maritime attacks, and their power on land is very small."

The Portuguese indeed had very few troops in Macau. It was said to be two or three hundred, so they basically had to be armed, and even black slaves were included.

Despite this, the Ming army, equipped with 3,000 elite soldiers and powerful generals, and equipped with flintlock rifles and artillery, did not want a battle to break out.

To suppress people with power is not only the emperor's intention, but also the strategy allowed by reality.

If you can't turn against each other, you won't turn against each other. The weak Portugal can no longer pose a threat to the Ming Empire, and can still maintain an additional European trade target.

Hundreds of warships showed their military power in front of Macau, and thousands of marines armed to the teeth were advancing. The Portuguese should not have the confidence to reject the conditions of the Ming Empire.

You should know that although the Portuguese obtained the right of residence in Macau in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming government still had an official here, which was directly under the jurisdiction of Guangdong Province.
