- ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? The best training is actual combat. After six months of high-intensity sailing and combat, the sailors of the Coast Guard have become more and more accustomed to operating large ships on bumpy oceans, and they have grown very rapidly.
While quickly heading south to seize the entrance of Futian Bay, the Punishment Fleet also completed its formation during the voyage. Twenty-one warships formed a neat column and quickly blocked the entire entrance of the bay.
Seeing that the Ming Dynasty warships did not intend to pounce immediately, Colonel Pinto on the Duke of Goa first breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the Ming Dynasty people were intimidated by their own huge battleships and did not dare to act rashly.
But immediately, he frowned again, because the tactics adopted by the Ming Dynasty people were so strange and familiar.
He said it was strange because he had never seen people from the Ming Dynasty or even Asians use such a formation method before They always followed the army's thinking and divided their fleet into the front army, the rear army, the middle army, and The left army, right army, etc., engage the enemy at full speed and strive to start a broadside battle.
Of course, this is understandable, because for a fleet that lacks heavy firepower, the so-called naval battle is just a land battle that moves the battlefield to the sea. Those stupid Mediterranean countries fought bloody battles with the Ottomans in this way.
¡°But countries with the most advanced navies, like Portugal and Spain, are no longer so reckless. As early as decades ago, future captains were taught at the Royal Navigation School in Sagres, 'You should try your best to avoid getting too close to the enemy, and you can defeat them with just your cannon This allowed the war to be conducted under safer conditions and reduced the losses of fleet crews. ¡¯
Therefore, under any circumstances, the Portuguese overseas fleet always lines up to attack the enemy. After launching a broadside attack, it turns around so that it can come back for the next round of bombardment.
But in the East Asian waters, because there are few opportunities to form a fleet, the Portuguese have not yet performed the battle line tactics they relied on to conquer Africa and the Indian Ocean Yes, the battle line was invented by the Portuguese and achieved brilliant success. The great tactics of the British, not the British, those Anglo-Saxon bandits always want to take everything for themselves, even the honor of others!
Think about it, four hundred years later, the Angsa people still want to expel the Portuguese and Spanish from the white race, so what does it mean to steal their reputation? Didn¡¯t you see that those who liberated Berlin became noble Angsa people? Doesn¡¯t it have anything to do with Maozi?
¡°Bah, shameless, even if you do it with the lights off! Blatant and disgusting!
??~~
When Pinto saw that the Ming Dynasty fleet was also using the same tactics, he was a little confused.
Because this shows at least three points: first, their naval thinking has been reformed; second, they have enough confidence in their artillery; third, their warships have become strong enough to withstand the recoil of heavy artillery salvos ¡
"I told you, these damn Ming people are so good at imitating! Our precious sailboat will make them pregnant even if they take one look at it!" Although Pinto didn't believe that his opponent could compete with the Royal Navy just by imitating him, he Now that we are outnumbered and the enemy is outnumbered, we cannot act rashly unless we have to.
He immediately asked someone to send a signal to the Oriental Beauty, and he would fire the right to receive the flagship.
At the same time, the Chinese-style sailing ship was ordered to move back. Although the ship was not worth much, it was loaded with Japanese gold and silver obtained from trade, so there must be no loss.
??~~
Colonel Pinto was right about at least one thing, that is, the people of the Ming Dynasty were stunned by their two giant ships that looked like castles on the sea.
Having faced the vulnerable Japanese navy before, no matter how cautious the Coast Guard officers are about guarding against arrogance and impetuosity, they will inevitably develop the arrogance of looking down on the world's heroes.
Until this moment, they didn¡¯t know what it means to have a heaven outside the sky. That smaller Western-style sailing ship was a whole circle bigger than our own ship 101, the Wanhu Wuwei Ship!
And the larger super sailboat must be four or five times the size of the previous one?
In fact, the displacement of the Duke of Goa is only two and a half times that of the Oriental Beauty, but its towering forecastle and stern make it appear too large.
Looking at the stern expressions of his generals, Mr. Zhao was very satisfied. He said that it would be better to let them see it with their own eyes, which would leave a deep impression on them.
Think about it, in the future the main fleets of European maritime powers will be able to dispatch one or two hundred such warships. Even their overseas colonial squadrons have dozens of capital ships stationed there. The strength of the Coast Guard is really not enough to fill one's teeth
¡°It¡¯s true that seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. I didn¡¯t expect that the gap between us and the Westerners has become so big.¡± Wang Rulong said with a stern expression, holding the railing in his hand.
"This is normal. Westerners would have had the same feeling when they saw Zheng He's fleet."Mr. Zhao said calmly: "In the past 150 years, we have been closed to the outside world and made great strides in regression. Others have sailed across the ocean and made great strides in progress. Naturally, it has become what it is now."
As he spoke, Zhao Hao raised his voice and encouraged the officers and men on the ship: "Now that you have known your shame, you must be brave again! Let us learn from the barbarians and learn skills to control the barbarians, capture their oriental beauties, strip them naked, and study them carefully ! Build a warship higher than theirs!"
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"
The soldiers immediately erupted into loud howls, the dull atmosphere was swept away, and their fighting spirit was suddenly boosted.
"Sir, can you have them all!" The police officers looked at the largest stern ship hungrily, and the dark Governor of Goa seemed more attractive.
"Haha, you are ambitious!" Zhao Hao laughed, thinking that it was probably the flagship of the Portuguese Macau fleet. If he really captured it, he would become a mortal enemy of them. This was inconsistent with the strategic direction.
At this time, the fleet completed an arc-shaped battle line and surrounded the bay. Small ships and speedboats are still cruising outside for protection as before.
This time, even the 101st ship participated in the battle line, which showed that it was facing a formidable enemy.
??~~
Seeing the small boat with the white flag coming from the harbor, Mr. Zhao couldn't help but smile and said: "It seems that our previous performance was not in vain. These Thai people have always only thought of talking properly when they are jealous." ."
"It's just cheap!" Wang Rulong spat and ordered the fleet to anchor and stay in place, maintaining the best attack posture.
One by one, the warships dropped their front and rear anchors and were fixed on the sea with long anchor chains.
Eight South Asian sailors rowed their boats to the front of the fleet. The nearby 404 boat immediately stepped forward to intercept. After a body search, two red-haired ghosts and a Han man also wearing tight pants were sent to the flagship.
Many police officers saw Europeans for the first time and were very surprised by these guys with curly hair, high noses and deep blue eyes.
"No wonder it's called a red-haired ghost. Isn't it just like the Yaksha in the City God's Temple?"
"It's so ugly, so pitiful. How can you find a wife with such a high nose?" The police officers saw the thick red hair on their arms, and the abundant heart-protecting hair was exposed in their loose shirts. I can't help but sympathize with these Buddhists. "It's just spending money, but the kiln lady who talks a little bit doesn't care. Even if the lights are turned off, it still feels irritating"
"Hahahaha!" The sailors who were drifting on the sea went straight to the third road after just three words. "You don't even have the guts to say it!"
"Hey, you're just worrying. A cat is looking for a cat, a dog is looking for a dog, and a hozen is looking for a big monkey. There must be a female ghost among them." The knowledgeable old police officer smiled and said: "Everyone has hair, and no one has hair. Don¡¯t blame anyone!¡±
Fortunately, the two Portuguese crew members couldn¡¯t understand Chinese, otherwise they would have been furious to death.
??~~
The sea was windy, and Mr. Zhao received the envoy from Fo Langji in the large conference room on the stern.
There is still a map of Northern Kyushu¡¯s power hanging in the large conference room, with Young Master Zhao sitting on a grand master¡¯s chair with a golden sword. Wang Rulong and other generals stood in front of him on both sides. Everyone was wearing dark blue police robes, and they looked at the military appearance neat and imposing.
Two Francois were brought in, took off their hats and bowed, muttering in Portuguese. The Han man who acted as an interpreter hurriedly explained that this was a self-introduction and extended his most sincere greetings to the adults of the Celestial Dynasty.
Mr. Zhao couldn't help but think of the translator of "The Devils Are Coming". He probably didn't translate it honestly. Unfortunately, he couldn't understand Portuguese either, so he snorted coldly and said, "There's no need to pretend, just state your intention."
"They said they wanted to ask the young master about his purpose." After the interpreter finished translating, he wiped his sweat and said with a smile, "Young Master, don't worry, these red-haired ghosts are very direct and rude."
Zhao Hao put down his hand, indicating that it was okay, and then Wang Rulong replied in a deep voice:
"Listen up, this is the Ming Dynasty Royal Shipping Corporation, which is responsible for transporting grain to China! The Japanese pirates dared to send out a large army to attack our shipping fleet. After interrogating the prisoners, we learned that the Japanese pirates were all under the command of the Hizen Daimyo of Kyushu, Japan! This is The most serious provocation to our country, the Celestial Empire, is the most extreme contempt for our Ming Dynasty. This time we are here to quell the Japanese pirates in Kyushu, so that the world will know that those who offend our Ming Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away they are!"
The translator was dumbfounded. It took him a long time to wake up from a dream and started to translate. I don¡¯t know how the last sentence will be translated.
The Portuguese are obviously not scared. They went all the way from Lisbon to Africa, defeated the powerful Ottoman and Indian fleets, and controlled the African coast, the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea. Obviously they are more qualified to say this.
So the two of them murmured and discussed, and then said firmly that they didn't know anything about the Japanese. They only knew that this was the defense area of ??the Royal Portuguese Navy, and asked the Ming people to leave quickly!
Zhao Hao¡¯s face darkened when he heard this, he slapped the armrest of the chair and shouted sternly: ¡°Don¡¯t do this, this is the vassal of our country under the great Ming Dynasty. How dare you say such things to the master of Japan?!¡±
Without waiting for the other party to speak, Mr. Zhao emphasized his tone and shouted: "I knew you were an accomplice of the Japanese! If I didn't bring so many warships, we would not be greeted by messengers with white flags, but your artillery fire." Just like what you did to the Japanese here four years ago!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)They don¡¯t know those things about people. They only know that this is the defense zone of the Royal Portuguese Navy. Please leave the Ming people quickly!
