Chapter 1304 Dad, here I come

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zeng¡¯s guess was correct, it was not Lin Daoqian who attacked Nan¡¯ao Island.  As he expected, for Lin Daoqian, who was known for his loyalty, verbally threatening him was already the limit.

    The ones attacking Nan'ao Island did not belong to any force in the Fujian and Guangdong waters, but the coast guard fleet came from Tamluo Island in the far north, three thousand miles south!

    Zhao Hao returned to Tamna Island on the tenth day of the fifth lunar month after completing the trial voyage of the new warship.

    As soon as he arrived at Tamna Island, he learned two pieces of bad news.  Jiangnan Trading's trading station in Ryukyu was kidnapped, and his father's boss was also kidnapped before he took office.

    At that time, Zhao Hao didn't know that Zeng Yiben had attacked Chaozhou City, so he couldn't sit still.

    Mr. Zhao could not wait for the main force to prepare to go to sea, so he led a task force of ten light warships south the next day.

    He left in such a hurry that even the supplies were completed in Chongming.

    After resting for a day on Chongming Island, the fleet continued southward.  The two thousand-mile waterway from Chongming to Chaozhou can be completed in ten days at most if the north wind blows strongly.

    However, it was already mid-May, and the south wind was blowing strongly on the ocean. Even with the help of the southward coastal current, the warship still had to follow a zigzag track to resist the headwind. The speed was appallingly slow - hurry up and slow down.  It takes twenty days to catch up.

    At first, Zhao Hao was not too anxious and just ordered the Security Department to adjust the intelligence work on Chaozhou and Fujian and Guangdong to the ¡®highest priority¡¯.  In this way, every time he docks, he will get the latest information about Ryukyu and his father immediately.

    Zhao Hao was not worried at that time.  Liu Ying got the four talents of Shangshan, and even Liu Bang didn't dare to touch him.  Second Master Zhao is also assisted by Xu Wei, Pan Jixun, Pan Zhongcheng, and Wu Chengen, as well as the governor. I guess as long as he doesn't seek death, he will be fine, right?

    He even planned to go to Ryukyu first to ask the King of Zhongshan, Shangyi, to make amends. At least he would have to make amends by ceding Naha Port to the Jiangnan Group.

    But as soon as the fleet arrived in Wenzhou, he received an urgent report that Zeng Yiyi had led an army to invade, and that Mr. Zhao had entered Chaozhou to take charge of the city defense!

    After hearing the news, Zhao Hao stayed for a full quarter of an hour.

    He felt the strong malice of God!

    Because without his interference, Zeng Yiben would have been wiped out by the imperial court in the third year of Longqing's reign, the year before last.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????mbOUT OFFEND  So the two provinces of Fujian and Guangdong made up their minds and decided to send Yu Dayou, the commander-in-chief of Guangdong, and Li Xi, the commander-in-chief of Fujian, to form a joint fleet to completely wipe out Zeng Yiben and save the court's face.

    The two provinces knew that the government navy was weak and was no match for Zeng Yiyi, who had strong ships and powerful artillery. Therefore, the Portuguese, who had previously helped the government and army drive Zeng Yiyi out of the Pearl River Estuary, were incorporated into the military system.  Recruiting their powerful warships to assist the government in their operations.

    After the Portuguese moved into Macau, they were like unwelcome tenants, always worried that they would be evicted by their landlord.  Of course they couldn't have wished for the opportunity to serve the Ming Dynasty and take advantage of the opportunity to form a good relationship with Guangdong Province.  So they sent all their main forces to assist the officers and soldiers in fighting.

    In the end, Zeng Yiben was defeated and arrested under the joint stranglehold between China and foreign countries. He died soon after, and his head was displayed to the public after his death.

    So normally speaking, Zeng Yiyi¡¯s head would be a specimen at this time.

    But the problem is that because of Zhao Hao's interference, this period of history has changed - in the third year of Longqing, he launched a punitive operation against Japan. Chichidan's great name, Romeo Omura Juntada, was afraid of being harmed, so he begged the Jesuits  Ask Nanman for help and protect his safety.

    The Jesuits considered that Omura Juntada was the only daimyo to convert and wanted to set an example of European-Japanese cooperation, so they agreed to his request and persuaded the Macau fleet that came for trade to stay longer to support Don Romeo.  .

    Who knew that it would attract Zhao Hao's covetousness. After a sudden "hunting operation", all three Macau ships were captured.  That duck-butt old lock ship doesn't matter. The Duke of Goa and the Oriental Beauty are two of the three main forces of the Portuguese Macau fleet with limited forces!

    Yes, the dignified Fo Langji Macau fleet only has three large sailing ships, and the remaining one is a galley.  There are still many old lock ships that are a combination of Chinese and Western, but their armament is extremely low, they also lack enough domestic crew members as the backbone, and they have no combat effectiveness at all.

    Therefore, the Fo Langji people relied on these three large sailing ships to maintain their presence in the Daming Sea.  Only when the three large sailing ships cannot handle it, Malacca will send a fleet to support.

    ¡°The reason why we only sent so few troops to Macau was not entirely because we were afraid of upsetting Ming Dynasty.  Because Portugal's own strength is limited, it cannot, like Spain, maintain a terrifying invincible fleet while fighting the Ottomans in the Mediterranean.  Portuguese warships had to guard the long sea.No matter how well-trained the police were, no matter how strong the black-tailed boat was, and no matter how advanced the artillery on board was, they could not change our fate of hitting a rock with an egg.

    After calling Xu Wei into trouble, Zhao Hao finally calmed down.  Now that Gudan Painter was willing to be a hostage to rescue Chaozhou, he could no longer live up to his painstaking efforts and put himself in danger for the hundreds of coast guard officers who followed him south.

    Therefore, after taking Nan'ao Island, he continued to follow Xu Wei's strategy and hid the fleet in the reeds at the mouth of the Hanjiang River, quietly waiting for the arrival of Zeng Yiben's fleet.

    After waiting anxiously, when Zhao Hao was about to be crazy, the intelligence officer finally came to the horse.

    After confirming the safety of Mr. Zhao, Zhao Hao¡¯s hanging heart finally dropped and he was eagerly waiting for Zeng Yiben¡¯s arrival.

    He wants to give that Zeng a good beating, grandma, I will help you live longer, but you dare to hit my father!

    go to hell!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
