Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The warships of the Ming Navy were lined up in a row, and all the navy officers and soldiers were waiting quietly.

    There was only one person sitting blankly at the stern of the boat.

    His name is Ding Yunyi.

    Ding Yunyi never thought that he would actually travel through time because of a grenade, and also travel to the Ming Dynasty, and be transported to a "Ding Yunyi" who actually had the exact same name and appearance as himself.

    Damn it, really hell!  Ding Yunyi never dreamed that such a thing would happen to him.

    Fortunately, this "Ding Yunyi" has a very good background. His fatherwell, now he is his father - Ding Yuanzhao!  He was in charge of military affairs in Fujian. He was one level lower than Zou Weilian, who was the governor of Fujian and also the admiral in charge of military affairs. He was considered a local official after all.

    Governors, admirals, and admirals also developed over time.  Ding Yunyi remembers clearly that when the Ming Dynasty was first established, the first governor was in the second year of Yongle.  Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di, appointed a seventh-rank official with the task of supervision, "Give Shizhong" Lei Cai, "to patrol Guangxi."  The so-called governor was only a temporary job for central officials at that time, not a fixed official position, nor did it become the de facto highest provincial governor like in the Qing Dynasty.

    After the reign of Emperor Xuanzong and Xuande of the Ming Dynasty, the number of governors gradually increased.  By the end of the Ming Dynasty, almost every province had one, but the jurisdictions ranged from large to small, which did not coincide with the jurisdiction of the chief envoy. Moreover, their positions were also military-focused, and they often added "Admiral of Military Affairs" or "Admiral of Military Affairs" to the official title.  "Approval of military affairs".

    My father is now a standard military commander!

    The bad news is that we will start a war as soon as we arrive!

    Let¡¯s fight the Dutch!

    This is the sixth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty.

    In July of this year, Putmans, the Dutch Governor of Taiwan, led 13 Dutch warships to launch a surprise attack on the coast of the Ming Dynasty.  The Dutch proposed that China immediately stop trade with Spain, Portugal and other countries and could only trade with the Dutch alone, otherwise the war would continue. This unreasonable request was rejected by the Ming Dynasty.

    On September 22 of the same year, Fujian Governor Zou Weilian received the imperial edict, and Emperor Chongzhen ordered He to be severely punished.  On October 12, after discussion with Ding Yuanzhao, Zou Weilian and Ding Yuanzhao decided to prepare for the battle with Zheng Zhilong as the vanguard, Gao Yingyue as the left wing, Zhang Yongchan as the right wing, and Wang Shangzhong as the rangers.

    When the Ming side was actively preparing for war, the Dutch did not dare to neglect. They recruited the great pirate Liu Xiang as reinforcements.  Liu Xiang brought more than fifty warships.

    And Ding Yunyi is a member of the Ming Navy.

    Ding Yunyi suspected that his predecessor had a bad relationship with my father, Ding Yuanzhao.  I was in charge of military affairs in the province, but my son was just an ordinary soldier on the ship.  And with the war imminent, he actually put his son on the ship of pioneer Zheng Zhilong!  Could it be that he wanted to throw his son to death on the battlefield?

    Where does this happen?

    "Let's go, let's go!" Xiao Yifeng, the centurion commander on the ship, called out all the brothers one by one.

    Ding Yunyi didn¡¯t take his immediate boss too seriously. The chief was just a low-ranking official, but after two days of contact, Xiao Yifeng was serious about his work and treated the chief as a governor.

    The naval battle is about to begin.

    On October 22, the sixth year of Chongzhen, the main force of the Ming army, 150 warships, which received reliable information, quietly sailed to the mouth of Liaoluo Bay in the south of Kinmen Island, where the entire main force of the Dutch Liuxiang Combined Fleet was moored.

    The navy of the Ming Dynasty is still quite powerful.  The government once ordered the coastal guards in Fujian, Jiangsu and Zhejiang to build ships to fight against the Japanese, which enabled the navy to achieve great development.  The weapons and equipment of the Navy are not only well-made cold weapons such as knives, bows and arrows, and crossbows, but also firearms account for a large proportion. Copper blunderbuss, iron blunderbuss, landmines, and various types of artillery have begun to equip the troops.

    When it was discovered that the Ming army was attacking, the Dutch and Liu fleets set up a defensive formation with a Dutch warship in the center and pirate ships scattered to support them. The Ming army fleet deployed at the southeast corner of Liaoluo Bay, with Zheng Zhilong's troops as the vanguard, and took the east wind.  Two-pronged assault tactic.

    According to the advance arrangement, all the main forces of the Ming army went straight to the Dutch fleet, and only the auxiliary forces were used to deal with the pirate ships.  At the same time, they adopted sea-of-fire tactics never seen on the European battlefield.

    Among the one hundred and fifty warships of the Ming army, only fifty were gunboats, and the remaining one hundred small boats were all fireships. Following an order, under the cover of the big ship's artillery, a hundred fireships swarmed up, hooked up, and set fire.  .

    After a commotion, of all the large Dutch warships participating in the war, two were caught and burned by fireships as soon as the battle began, and the other two were sunk in the artillery battle!

    The sea is ablaze with flames, it¡¯s really spectacular!

    At this time, on the warship Ding Yunyi was on, following the commanderWith an order, he rushed fiercely towards a Dutch warship that was still on fire!

    After the two ships connected, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Navy rushed towards the Dutch warship.

    Amidst the jingling sounds, hand-to-hand combat begins!

    A bearded Dutch officer was very brave. He stabbed two Ming sailors one after another with the sword in his hand. He kept shouting "Hehe" in his mouth, and he couldn't understand what he was saying. He seemed to be showing off.

    Xiao Yifeng rushed forward, but retreated continuously under the fierce attack of the bearded man. Without any news, he was stabbed in the ribs. Fortunately, he escaped in time and was not seriously injured.

    The bearded Holland thrust his sword at Xiao Yifeng again, and was about to hit him. Suddenly, there was a "dang" sound from the side, and someone held his sword.

    Xiao Yifeng, who had narrowly escaped death, saw that it was Ding Yunyi!

    Ding Yunyi didn¡¯t mean to save anyone, he just saw the ferocious bearded Dutchman and felt resentful of the rampant foreigners, so he took action in time!

    Ding Yunyi has fought countless fights. In his opinion, there is not much difference between this and fighting.

    The swords crossed, and the two went back and forth for several rounds. Ding Yunyi had rich experience in fighting and was carefully trained by his third brother. He found that although Big Beard's attack was fierce, his lower body was not fierce. He spotted the loophole and deflected Big Beard's thrust.  A sword, and then a kick suddenly flew up, hitting the vital part of the bearded man's crotch.

    The bearded man screamed and fell to the ground, rolling in pain. He was still shouting something, as if he was accusing Ding Yunyi of not abiding by the rules of fighting.

    Ding Yunyi didn't talk nonsense with him. He stepped forward and killed the bearded man with a knife.

    Xiao Yifeng was stunned as he watched from the side.

    Most of the sailors on this ship were fighting for the first time, but who would have thought that Ding Yunyi, a man who usually seemed gentle and silent, could be so powerful in a fight, and his attacks were so vicious!

    Two Dutch soldiers rushed up shouting "Wow!"

    When they were about to rush in front of them, Ding Yunyi fell to the ground, and then swung his knife out. Amidst the screams, a Dutch soldier's left foot was chopped off.

    Another Dutch soldier was frightened when he saw such a tragic scene happening in front of him, and turned around and ran away.

    Ding Yunyi tried his best to fly out the knife in his hand, hitting the Dutch soldier in the back. The Dutch soldier rushed forward a few steps and fell down.

    Ding Yunyi then stood up, walked over and pulled out his knife from the Dutch soldier's body.

    In just a few moments of fighting, Ding Yunyi had already killed two enemies and seriously injured one.  Not only Xiao Yifeng, but also all the Ming Dynasty sailors who boarded the ship were stunned.

    Is this person Ding Yunyi?  Is this person really the Ding Yunyi they recognize?

    From the moment he boarded the ship to fight, he was like a devil, killing people without mercy.  When facing the Dutch, it's just like chopping melons and slicing vegetables.

    Ding Yunyi sneered. He had already died once. Isn¡¯t killing so many Dutch people just like playing?
