In early September, after arranging internal affairs, Chen Xie boarded the Fuyuan battleship, accompanied by a 100-person young cadet in the Naval Academy, all of whom were young men aged 16 to 18. The source of these people was relatively pure, they were all orphans from Dengzhou or Liaodong. They were adopted by Dengzhou camp and then entered the Naval Academy to study naval warfare.

In addition to being a flagship, Chen Xie is also an internship warship in the Navy Academy. The meaning of doing so is obvious to tell the Navy that Chen Xie’s preference for these young people. The current Dengzhou Navy is mainly the old navy and the West Laojing who are in charge of the overall situation. Chen Xie trains new people and makes gestures, with the main purpose of creating a competitive mechanism, and also trains a group of absolutely loyal naval officers, which is for the future.

After leaving the military port and driving for several days, he found Li Guosuke's fleet on the sea. After the flag language exchange, Li Guosuke took a small boat to Fuyuan to express his obedience. After climbing onto the warship, he saw Chen Xie lying comfortably on the deck. Li Guosuke was not dissatisfied at all and led his subordinates to kneel forward. If he had some ideas before, he saw Chen Xie pulling out such a large warship as if he was making dumplings, Li Guosuke completely cut off his idea of ​​independence.

Chen Xie stood up lazily from the soft couch, walked to Li Guozhu, and said condescendingly: "The sea is very big, staring at the pond in the house, there is not much prospect. You will have such a warship in the future. When you go to Nanyang, anyone will have the chance to become the governor of the side. Don't say that I didn't give you a chance, the opportunity is prepared for those who are prepared."

This cake is quite painted, especially these fighting men at sea. In the past, when they saw the Europeans' ships were strong and powerful, they naturally had no idea, but now they saw that Mr. Chen's ships were not small. With such warships, who would be afraid of ghosts?

In the eighth year of Chongzhen, Zheng Zhilong was busy fighting with the Dutch people, and once shook hands with Liu Xiang to make peace. As a result, Liu Xiang was not good enough and could not beat the Dutch people. He was driven out of the Daguan Island and died in the sea. This guy was a recurring person. He soon embarked on the road to opposing Zheng Zhilong. The Dutch people suffered losses at Zheng Zhilong. Let’s not talk about Liu Xiang. Zheng Zhilong sent people to chase Liu Xiang at sea and made this guy at sea. He did not expect that the news suddenly came that the Ryukyu route was constantly attacked by pirates.

This matter is not small. Zheng Zhilong made a fortune by collecting protection fees. Of course, he had to ensure the safety of the route. After summarizing various information, he learned that it was Li Guozhu who was making trouble. Of course, Zheng Zhilong had to deal with him.

Zheng Zhilong's family is still quite thick, but the largest ship is the 150-200-ton Dafu ship. Before Chen Xie's arms were obtained, Zheng Zhilong's warship was filled with a six-pound cannon. He brought some messy small cannons. According to historical records, "The Fu ship is as tall as a building, and can accommodate a hundred people. The bottom is wide, the bow is raised and the tail is tall, and the water is about 3.5 meters. The bow is equipped with 1 Red Yi cannon, 6 Qianjin Folang machine, 3 bowl guns, 20 Thunder cannons, 60 spray barrels, 10 Lumi guns, 500 crossbow arrows, 10 gunpowder crossbows, 300 rockets, 100 fire bricks, and thousands of cold weapons."

Even if he got Chen Xie's smoothbore cannon, Zheng Zhilong's warship could only be equipped with a 12-pound smoothbore cannon, and the rest were small cannons, mainly because they were close to melee combat. This is how he did with the Dutch, relying on the fleet and ants to bite the elephant to death. Zheng Zhilong attached great importance to Li Guozhu. The reason is very simple. Li Dan was Li Guozhu's father. Zheng Zhilong started his career and took over Li Dan's foundation.

After getting rid of Liu Xiang, Zheng Zhilong had more than 100 large-scale ships with 500 materials, and more than 500 other small ships. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Zheng Zhilong once relied on collecting protection fees and once had 100,000 troops and more than 1,000 warships. Even so, he chose to surrender. His son Zheng Chenggong did not surrender, and then seized the Dutch and then seized Taiwan. There was a TV series "Zheng Chenggong", in which the lucky ships fired from the side of both sides. Looking for some information, you will know that if you do this, the lucky ships will fall apart without others fighting. Generally, the lucky ships, large-caliber cannons are placed on the deck, and cotton wool is used to buffer recoil. The ones like the ones who fired more than a dozen guns on the side of the TV are good-looking, but they are too fantastic.

Without mentioning gossip, Zheng Zhilong naturally had to eliminate the roots after he found out that Li Guozhu was working hard. At this time, Zheng Zhilong was in a state of pride, and he never expected that Chen Xie would plot against him at sea. He brought more than 100 big blessed ships and more than 200 small boats, looking for Li Guozhu on the Ryukyu route.

September 20th, after going to sea thirteen days.

The sea was endless. Although the waves were calm and there was no trouble, it was really boring. Fortunately, I brought some "female soldiers" and dominated the cabin on the highest floor. Chen Xie's spare time was quite good. Even so, there were not many ways to enjoy it in the vast sea. Today was another good weather, and Chen Xie asked someone to get fishing gear and pretend to be Jiang Taigong on the deck.

Several girls in female military uniforms stood beside Chen Xie and were always ready to flatter Mr. Chen. This guy's fishing skills are really not very good, and he didn't get anything for an hour. The girls were very disappointed, and they didn't have the chance to use the lines they prepared. Just when Chen Xie was extremely bored, the fishing rod suddenly sank, and Chen Xie was caught off guard and almost got out of hand.

He grabbed the fishing rod tightly, and Chen Xie and the fish spent a long time. Seeing that the fish had no strength, Chen Xie slowly retracted the line, a sound of cannon came suddenly. Chen Xie was shocked, the fishing rod was out of hand, and the big fish pulled the fishing rod and ran away.

He stood up from the deck in a hurry, and Li Yingji immediately handed over the telescope. Chen Xie carefully looked at the direction of the sound, and could only see the sails from afar. This was a fight, for sure. At this time, the students on the mast made a sound: "There are about 40 ships found on the port side. It should be Li Guozhu's fleet."

At this time, Xilaojing also discovered the situation and sent a message, and found that two warships were fighting in the sea, running and chasing. Chen Xie got up, climbed to a high place, and observed carefully with a telescope. According to Xilaojing's agreement, he could not get too close. The naval battle was mainly due to the other sixteen warships.

Xilaojing commanded the warship. When Manfan came to meet him, Zheng Zhilong was chasing Li Guosuke. He thought that he might not be able to find Li Guosuke quickly after a trip, but he didn't expect that after three days of his trip, he found that Li Guosuke's fleet was robbing a fleet on the sea. When he saw Li Guosuke's fleet, Zheng Zhilong was still surprised. Forty big lucky ships are not small, plus some small boats, this is the strength of more than eighty ships.

The last time Zheng Zhilong defeated the Dutch, Li Guozhu and Liu Xiang's coalition, it was said that Li Guozhu's strength was greatly weakened. He didn't have many ships in his hand. Unexpectedly, less than a year later, this guy pulled up such a large fleet. Zheng Zhilong could figure it out with his toes that someone must have sold ships and cannons to Li Guozhu. It is not difficult to imagine who this person is. There are only two people with this strength in the entire Ming Dynasty, one is Zheng Zhilong himself, and the other is Chen Xie from Dengzhou.

After destroying Liu Xiang, Zheng Zhilong certainly knew that Liu Xiang bought a guy from Chen Xie. When he looked at this Li Guozhu, he was so angry that he wanted to bite Chen Xie to death. This guy is so immoral that he sold everything for money. I used a boat to buy it, but he refused to sell too much arms. Even a fool can figure it out, Chen Xie is so stupid.

Zheng Zhilong couldn't do anything to Chen Xie, so he had to deal with Li Guosuke first. More than 300 warships were killed together. When Li Guosuke saw the situation, he of course had to run away. Before running away, he had to fire a cannon first and then go on a round. His ship was equipped with a 12-pound rifled cannon, a six-pound cannon, and 6 three-pound cannons. There were many smoothbore guns, including fifty. After weakening the force, he reselled the warship. This was Chen Xie's hand and footwork. Li Guosuke could only knock down his teeth and swallow it into his stomach.

The range of the rifled guns was advantageous. One round of guns was shocked by Zheng Zhilong. After 40 rifled guns were shot, they even hit a lucky ship, and directly made a big hole in the side of the ship, killing two and injuring five.

Zheng Zhilong was very angry at this time and commanded his subordinates to catch up. After taking advantage of the situation, Li Guozhu naturally turned around and ran away. Once he was caught up, it was not a fun thing. Both sides chased and fled, and played on the sea for a day and a night, and finally ran to the predetermined sea area. During this process, Li Guozhu was not idle, and kept using the advantage of range and played a round of main gun shooting. Intermittently, it also brought some casualties to Zheng Zhilong. Fortunately, the three ships were hit, and the speed was affected. It was still useful to go back and repair it. The injured warship refused to go back and continued to chase after it.

Zheng Zhilong chased him quickly, and Li Guo was not slow to run. Just as he was chasing him, Li Guozhu stopped running and turned around and fired and ran. Every time it was time, it was Zheng Zhilong's chance to chase him closer. Naturally, he would not let him go. After he chased forward, he found something was wrong. On the sea on the right wing, a group of tall white sails appeared, which could be seen from a distance.

Zheng Zhilong is an old pirate, so of course he knows what happened. And what's even more terrible is that these warships are too fast and can feel the naked eye is approaching. What should I do? Zheng Zhilong is not stupid and immediately ordered the small boat to top it up, and the big boat chased Li Guozhu to fight. This is a helpless thing, and the reason is very simple. In the past, there were no more than ten big boats in the past. Now, when I look at this formation, sixteen big boats, and Li Guozhu's strength, there is no chance to win. Zheng Zhilong's only correct choice is to kill Li Guozhu first, and then turn around to hit the big boat that hits the "Dutchman".

At this time, Zheng Zhilong thought that the Dutch came. He never expected that the Dengzhou Navy came this time. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
