Chapter 371 Very suitable for being a dog
Outside Haojing Port, there are many Western sails, with many white sails as clouds, and Western scribblings with triangle hats are also densely and textured in and out inside and outside Haojing Port.
It seems that this place has become the original residence of the Western family.
There are even bells from churches and chanting in Portuguese.
However, in a factory in the port, a group of Han people carrying wood wearing shackles made it a little inconsistent.
"Hurry up! You are the slaves we bought. If you want to eat, don't be lazy!"
And when the translator and supervisors around these Western franchises were calling out to these Han people at this time, many seagulls suddenly flew from the sea level outside the Haojing Port, and then the masts towering into the clouds appeared on the sea level. Gradually, ten large flags with "Ming" characters appeared and began to appear clearly on the sea, like the red sun, very brilliant.
At the same time, at the northern end of the Haojing Peninsula, there were also a large number of Ming army infantry, cavalry and land soldiers, which were as red as fireworks, coming from the sea.
These Western fans began to feel shocked and nervous.
"Go on the boat! Get ready for the battle!"
The captain of the Western Fan Yi shouted, and many Florian sailors were busy getting on the boat.
boom!
boom!
boom!
The Ming army warships quickly fired directly.
The cannon sounded loudly.
Many Western warships were directly beaten to pieces and staggered on the sea, while the Western warships on the ships rolled into the sea like soup dumplings.
The illegal leadership body located in Portugal is the Council of Parliament.
Soon, the members of the Haojing Council also heard the sound of cannons from the sea. After the Western Conference report came, they learned that everything that happened was because the Ming people came.
"Damn it! This is already the territory of my Folangji. Why are these Ming people coming here without any announcement? The Ming officials in Guangdong have never heard of it!"
Councillor Cardoc said in some anger.
"It's too late to say this now. The Ming Dynasty navy came too suddenly. We must respond immediately!"
Another MP, Terham, said.
"Let the St. Francis Fort fire immediately, hoping to stop these Ming navy!"
Cardoc said.
Because Hao Jing was attacked by the Dutch five years ago, the Portuguese have strengthened their defense in Hao Jing and forcibly built the city wall despite the opposition of the Ming Dynasty.
In addition, the Portuguese king did not appoint the Governor of Haojing with the consent of the Ming Dynasty and added artillery and artillery batteries to Haojing.
However, the Governor appointed by Portugal has not taken office now, so the Council is still the one who ruled Haojing.
However, even though the Portuguese strengthened their defense in Haojing, they were still not enough to compete in the face of a super empire like the Ming Dynasty.
In the past, because the Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhu Youxiao focused on strengthening imperial power and internal affairs, it did not take into account the loss of maritime interests.
But now, since the Ming Emperor Zhu Youxiao has focused on the sea front, it is difficult for these Western fans to stop the Ming Dynasty.
After all, the Ming Dynasty was still a super empire in this area.
The troops that can be mobilized are not comparable to those that Portugal can do.
"Transfer the order, stop the test of artillery, and all warships advance at a rapid speed."
At this time, Chen Xin stood on the deck of the flagship "Dongou King", looked at Haojing City with a telescope, and issued the latest order.
The Navy's first firing of the Guards was indeed just a test of the gun and a test range.
What surprised Chen Xin was that the newly equipped Apocalypse six-year cannon had an amazing range and accuracy.
Because of the proficient application of crucible steelmaking method, high-quality drill bits began to appear, causing the Ming Dynasty's cannon to have two simple rotating rifles. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty's cannon has been updated from the iron-core copper-tied cannon a few years ago to be reloaded rifled cannons, and the shells have also been upgraded to cylindrical bombs.
This kind of cannon was not manufactured for several years until the sixth year of Apocalypse, so it is called the sixth year of Apocalypse.
Now this kind of artillery is indeed far away, and it bombards the St. Francis turret in the Mirror.
At this time, shortly after Chen Xin's words fell behind, the Ming Dynasty warships turned around and quickly drove towards Haojing.
When the ten warships of the Guards Navy drove towards Haojing, the Portuguese, who were still alive at the Fortress of Haojing Saint Francis, also began to fire and fight back.
The Portuguese artillery was also dense, and they directly crashed into the Ming Dynasty's recent warships, causing many advancing guard warships to be bombarded.
Even giant ships like the "Eastern European King" were bombarded, and many parts of the hull were damaged.
But the Navy warships of the Guards are still advancing rapidly.
However, not long after, Chen Xin suddenly ordered: "The wind direction has changed. Retrace as planned, retreat to the previous position, and set it in line again to bombard the turret!"
Of course, Chen Xin did this not because he was afraid of the Portuguese artillery, but because he did it on purpose.
Because before attacking Haojing, he obtained Haojing's defense map through the information provided by the Jinyiwei and formulated a corresponding strategy. He could not have concentrated all his troops on the front line of Haojing. In fact, he had prepared a surprise force to land in the pond east of Haojing. Now he shelled and even attacked and even retreated to the St. Francis Fort to attract the attention of the Portuguese.
"Mingguo warships have retreated!"
The Portuguese, who were unknown, cheered happily at the Fort St. Francis.
Tellum, who also came here, frowned and said, "The Ming people are not Dutch. Their retreat does not mean they will give up. They will definitely deploy troops in other aspects, otherwise they will not show any timidity before they are severely damaged! I have to go back to the council and tell them that they must beware of the Ming people attacking from other aspects."
The Marines of the First Battalion of the Navy Division of the Guards had indeed landed in Jinshuitang, east of Macau, and even the heavy long cannons had been transported to the shore with the help of black slaves.
The use of black slaves has become a common phenomenon among all maritime forces.
Because in this era, the trade of black slaves was already very developed, and the wealthy Ming navy officers and soldiers would buy a few black slaves to serve themselves. After all, they were at sea for many years and were less regulated by the court than the army, so they were even more relaxed. Moreover, the court only prohibited the use of their own people as slaves.
Moreover, the Ming Dynasty's sea boundary is too vast, and it takes a lot of maritime strength to safeguard maritime interests. However, the regular military training of the Ming Navy takes a long time, especially the training of officers, which requires rigorous training and ideological education in the military academy.
But now, there are many forces competing for maritime interests with the Ming Dynasty court, and they urgently need enough personnel to safeguard maritime interests.
Therefore, the navy officers and soldiers of the Ming Guards sometimes had to spend some money to buy foreigners as slaves.
Anyway, the Guards did not lack money, only manpower, and among the outer series, people like the Japanese and black slaves had very cheap lives, so they naturally bought a batch of outer series as slaves.
Not only black slaves, there are also Japanese slaves in the Ming Navy Marine Corps. However, because the Japanese are obedient and obedient in front of the strong, they are particularly afraid of death when fighting, especially the Japanese ronin. Therefore, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Navy prefer to let the Japanese fight for themselves, that is, to be cannon fodder.
Just like during the Jiajing period, the Japanese riots were also caused by many Japanese people being hired by pirates to come to the mainland for robbery.
At this time, the armed forces that were first to land and rush towards the defending positions of Haojing City were musket teams composed of Japanese people, acting as cannon fodder.
The defenders in the defending positions were actually Japanese, and the Portuguese could not charge themselves. Moreover, the Portuguese had a tradition of hiring Japanese as musketeers. The officers and soldiers of the Ming Navy learned this from the Portuguese.
After all, in this era, Japan was narrow and crowded, so many Japanese were exiled. Moreover, the strong liked to hire Japanese people to fight and kill people for themselves, because the Japanese were influenced by the spirit of Bushido and were indeed not afraid of death. They were also particularly loyal to their powerful owners and were very suitable for being dogs.
So, at this time, the entire landing battle battlefield became two groups of Japanese fighting.
At this time, Shen Zhaoyun, a navy officer from the Guards, was on a warship that was still a distance from the shore. Seeing the two groups of short men from both sides shooting fiercely, Bagabaga shouted.
