Part One: Storm in Penghu Chapter 38 Building a New Ship

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Oniomaru, who was rampant in the sea at that time, was destroyed in this way.

    ¡°Maybe Oniomaru, who is now in the underworld, is unwilling to fail like this, but for the soldiers and people of Penghu, this is the happiest thing in the past few years.

    They never thought that not only could they defeat Hitachi Gonyasu, but they could even defeat Onimaru.

    And there is only one person who brought all these miracles:

    Ding Yunyi!

    From this moment on, Ding Yunyi has become the support and spiritual sustenance of Penghu people.

    The emperor of the Ming Dynasty was Emperor Chongzhen, but for the soldiers and people of Penghu, there was only one invincible King of Penghu in their eyes:

    Ding Yunyi!

    Most of the pirates have been eliminated. The only regret is that Lizihu, who almost brought disaster to Penghu, ran away with more than a dozen pirates.

    This also made Hong Tiaoyuan very frustrated.

    "General Manager Hong is too kind and too soft. Although he showed heroic spirit this time, he is not the material for big things after all." Qin Yun said in a low voice after knowing what happened.

    Ding Yunyi pursed his lips and did not answer. He asked Cai Jiuzhou to escort the pirates back to Fujian to ask for rewards for the soldiers and civilians of Penghu. He also asked Qin Yun to write two letters to Fujian Governor Zou Weilian and his father. He believed that it explained how Oniwang Maru invaded and was defeated.  .

    Qin Yun was born in Jie Yuan and wrote brilliantly. The letter did not mention anything about Ding Yunyi leading a group of brothers to fight against the evil. It was just that Oniomaru first sent his disciple Hitachi Gongbaotian to invade Penghu and was defeated by Hong Tiaoyuan and Ding Yunyi.  Later, Oniomaru personally attacked and was defeated again. Ding Yunyi killed Oniomaru angrily.

    It seems in the letter that the two defeats of pirates were attributed to Hong Tiaoyuan and Ding Yunyi, but in fact, under Qin Yun's wonderful writing, the main credit was Ding Yunyi's, and Hong Tiaoyuan only assisted on the side.

    For Ding Yunyi and for his own future, Qin Yun took great pains

    This time Ding Yunyi not only won a complete victory, but also gained a lot. In addition to the main ship that was blown up by Wei Jide and the ship that Lizi Lake quietly sailed away, Ding Yunyi obtained 24 of Oniohmaru's ships out of thin air, as well as  The huge wealth that Oniohmaru plundered.

    After learning about Wei Jide from Xie Tian, ??Ding Yunyi thought for a while and asked Qin Yun to write a letter. The letter described in detail the story of Wei Jide's death for righteousness, which could be regarded as a kind of consolation to Wei Jide's soul in heaven.

    Cai Jiuzhou separated most of the ships and sailors in his fleet and escorted the pirates back to Fujian, while he stayed with the men of the two ships, willing to be by Ding Yunyi's side to achieve fame.

    Ding Yunyi originally felt that he was short of manpower and lacked naval warfare talents. Now that Cai Jiuzhou voluntarily stayed, it was exactly what he wanted.  However, Ding Yunyi was just a small patrol inspector at the moment, so he had no choice but to resign himself to Cai Jiuzhou and become a hundred commanders.  Fortunately, Cai Jiuzhou didn't care.

    "Inspector Ding." Cai Jiuzhou suggested: "Although we defeated Oniomaru, we won firstly by being unexpected, and secondly by killing Oniomaru first. There is also some luck involved in the three. If we do it again next time  If there is a large group of pirates coming, it may not be easy to deal with it, and there is also a red barbarian who is more ferocious than the pirates. "

    This is what Ding Yunyi is most worried about: "Brother Zhenxing, do you have any good suggestions?"

    Cai Jiuzhou apologized first: "It's not that I, the Cai family, are stingy. Most of the fleet they brought this time went back, leaving only two small boats for inspection by Ding. Instead, we want to build one that can withstand the wind and waves on the sea.  It takes a lot of time to threaten a ship that can protect itself at the same time. My Cai family¡¯s maritime business is really busy"

    "Brother Zhenxing, what are you talking about?" Ding Yunyi said with a smile: "The Cai family has helped me so much this time. If I can't thank you enough, how can I blame you? Besides, I am satisfied with leaving two ships for me. Again  Sir, didn¡¯t we also capture twenty-four ships?¡±

    "It is these twenty-four ships that I want to talk about." Cai Jiuzhou said: "Since Kiohmaru lost to Zheng Zhilong, the fleet has been scattered again and again. The reason why he can still make people change his mind is entirely because of  It¡¯s about personal bravery, not about his fleet. Once a war breaks out, only three or four of his fleets are barely usable, and the rest are useless.¡±

    Ding Yunyi frowned as he listened.

    He doesn¡¯t know much about ships, but Cai Jiuzhou comes from a maritime family, so what he said is correct.

    I originally thought that by capturing Oniomaru's fleet, I would be able to make a difference at sea, but now it seems that is not the case.  Thinking of this, I couldn't help but ask: "What do you mean?"

    Cai Jiuzhou was confident: "According to my opinion, I sent people to find a way to sell off all these Kiohmaru ships. If the superiors asked, they would only say that most of Kiohmaru's ships were destroyed by me in the naval battle. I don't think the higher ups would do it.get to the bottom.  "

    This sentence awakens the dreamer.

    Yes, these ships are broken, but they may not belong to Ding Yunyi.

    ¡°Zou Weilian will definitely be happy when he hears about the great victory, and he will definitely ask about the whereabouts of Oniohmaru¡¯s fleet. What will he say then?  It's better to just sell it and save worry.  I think the Cai family has a way to secretly sell these ships without leaving any trace.

    He immediately responded and heard Cai Jiuzhou say: "Then we use the money we get from selling the boats, plus the seized property of Oniohmaru, to build a few good boats. These can be left to my Cai family to handle, and we guarantee to build them again.  The boat satisfied the inspection both in terms of performance and price. ¡±

    Ding Yunyi was overjoyed: "Okay, I'll leave it all to you. Remember, all ships must be equipped with Folan cannons. If the money is not enough, I will figure out a way."

    "I just did the math, and it will be enough if you use it compactly."

    When Cai Jiuzhou said this, Ding Yunyi interrupted him: "No, you have to leave me a sum of money. I have to renovate the Penghu fortress."

    In order to increase the high-quality labor population in the Dutch East Indies as quickly as possible, Governor Kuhn of the Netherlands, who had a special liking for the Chinese labor force, repeatedly ordered: "Plunder as many Chinese men, women, and children as possible to enrich Bacheng, Anhan and Wan."  Dan.¡±

    The Dutch fleet carried out this mission faithfully, which ultimately angered the Ming Dynasty.

    In August of the third year of the Ming Dynasty, Nan Juyi, an official from the main war effort, was appointed governor of Fujian.  In November of the same year, he burned a Dutch warship, captured 52 people alive, and killed 8 people.  In the first month of the following year, 40 warships carrying 2,000 Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers appeared in front of the Penghu Fortress built by the Dutch almost overnight, and landed on the beach under Dutch artillery fire, launching a fierce attack.

    After all, the Dutch are a battle-hardened force. They shrunk to Fenggui City, which faced the sea on three sides and only one side by land.  The Dutch army dug deep trenches on land as barriers, controlled the sea with warships, and successfully blocked the Ming army's attack with the crossfire of naval and shore guns.

    Seeing that the attack was unstoppable, the Ming army also built a stone city in Penghu. The two sides faced off and attacked each other.  Nan Juyi personally went to Penghu to supervise the division and directed the Ming army to assemble everywhere. In the end, more than 10,000 Ming army officers and soldiers and nearly 200 warships were assembled in this small place.  The Ming Navy set up fireships all over Penghu Port to attack Dutch warships, and the infantry set up artillery in the Magong Mazu Temple across the sea to bombard Fenggui City.

    In addition, the Ming army arranged countless giant fort baskets, each 5 feet long and wide, with logs underneath and filled with rubble. They used them as bunkers to rest or fire cannons during the day, and pushed them forward at night.  Dutch artillery was powerless against this.

    At the same time, Nan Juyi sent a letter to the new commander-in-chief of the Dutch army, threatening to fill Penghu Bay with sand and gravel if he did not leave.

    The Dutch claimed to be across the seven seas, but they had never encountered such a fierce attack. In the end, they could no longer hold on, and were forced to dismantle the Penghu Fortress, which had been in operation for two years, under the supervision of the Ming army, and sail away in despair.
