Nanyang
Chapter 944:Nanyang
The Spanish established the first sunset empire in human history in the 16th century, and its colonies included the whole of Central America, most of South America, part of Africa and the Philippines; more than 60 years ago, the Spanish colonist Ligasby from Manila, invaded and occupied the Philippines, and then in the center of Manila, the south bank of the Bashi River, since then, it has become the palace of the Spanish colonial colonial authorities, but also the center of their rule in the South Ocean.
In addition, because the Spaniards will focus the main attention on the Americas, so also left some opportunities for other countries, the Dutch have occupied Malacca, the flow of places, but now the Dutch have been Zheng Zhilong from the stream to drive away, they have also thought of revenge, but Zheng Zhilong's strength is not that they can easily eliminate, coupled with the fear that once the war can not get commercial benefits from Daming, so they and Daming temporarily maintained peace.
It is only now that the Dutch forces have been driven out from the genie, and the dissatisfaction of many people has aroused the dissatisfaction of many people, coupled with the formation of the Sanya junta and the construction and construction of the southern mariners, the Dutch are full of vigilance against Da Ming, and they gradually began to strengthen contact with the Spaniards to try to unite the forces of the two sides to resist the attack of Da Ming.
In Britain and France, they were still relatively weak in the vicinity of the South Ocean, and because the East India Company and Daming reached an agreement, they stood on the other side of the Dutch and Spanish, provided Da Ming with all kinds of intelligence, trying to use the power of Daming to weaken the Dutch and Spaniards, and thus looking for opportunities to gain benefits from them.
Many of the veterans who had fought with the Spaniards in the sea were sent to Daming by the East India Company, and came to the military port of Sanya, telling the generals of Daming about the Spanish way of warfare, and cooperating with them to carry out some actual combat exercises; through the exercise, these European veterans were surprised, the warships of the Daming Mariners had passed the most advanced warships in Europe, whether it was firepower or ships sailing on top of them, and the fleet was huge, far from the Spaniards and the Dutch.They began to observe a moment of silence for the Dutch and the Spaniards.
After a long preparation, the Southern Mariners were thoroughly familiar with the Spanish way of fighting, and got the latest movement of the Dutch and Spanish troops from the Jin Yiwei and the East India Company, so that, under the leadership of the Admiral, they followed the former Sanbao eunuchs to the western route towards the South Ocean.
And before them were the ships of the great messengers, which would send the e-proposal of the Dutch and Spanish colonists to war, and as for the easy excuse, the Philippines and Malacca, which they had occupied in the jurisprudence, could not be justified in the case of the great Ming, and that the suzerat nation had exodus at the request of the vassal powers and expelled them from their own territory; moreover, the sins committed by the Spaniards against the people of the great Ming people in the first calendar years would not be forgiven.
When the ships of the mission of the mission of Daming arrived in Manila and sent a declaration of war, the governors and generals of the Netherlands and Spain were shocked, and after this time of investigation, they already had a more clear understanding of the newly formed Southern Mariners of Daming, and their warships would never be rivals to the Da Ming Marine Division in terms of the number and size of the ships, so these envoys saved their lives and were expelled only, because they would also consider how they would treat themselves after the defeat.
“These ships only look powerful on paper, and naval warfare depends not only on warships, but also on captains, gunners and sailors who ultimately decide to win.”They had to console themselves in such a way that “the navy of Daming had not dealt with powerful enemies before, and the inland ships of the abwarfs were simply vulnerable, and there was nothing to show off to defeat such an adversary, and we Spaniards, who had innumerable experienced captains and sailors, and we would teach them a profound lesson.”
At first glance, it seems that this is true, when the Dutch occupied Penghu many years ago, Yu gathered a large number of ships, and only drove the Dutch out; Zheng Zhilong's battle to expel the Dutch from the stream did not cause the Dutch to suffer much damage, and it also relied on the superior forces to force them to leave; as for the number of ships in the north of the Liaodong and the capture of the country, the number of ships in the eyes of the Spanish.Still have the hope of winning.
“After the annihilation of this fleet, we will attack the military port of the Ming Kingdom in the north and completely destroy there, so that they will no longer be able to threaten us in a short time.”They said so, and immediately summoned the generals of the navy to discuss the countermeasures, and the final result was to wait in Manila for the arrival of the Great Ming Marine Division to be defeated.
In this way, the Daming Water Division did not suffer much harassment along the way, successfully arrived near Manila, the two armies in the sea off Manila, launched a fierce artillery battle, the British and the French also refused to miss this opportunity, they also came here with their own warships, far from observing the changes in the situation, in order to get the results of the war in the first time, in order to prepare for their next step plan.
What surprised the Spaniards, the Dutch, the British and the French was that the fighting power of the Daming Water Division completely exceeded their expectations, and at the beginning of the war, they also relied on their own rich experience to gain the upper hand, but with the progress of the war, the soldiers of the Daming Water Division gradually adapted to the changes in the battlefield, and they waved their advantages in the ship and artillery, and gradually began to suppress their opponents.
One by one, the Spanish and Dutch warships began to burst into fire, and gradually sank to the bottom of the sea, and the broken decks of the ships and the sailors who held the deck to survive could be seen everywhere; and the losses of the Daming Water Division were so pitiful that they gradually occupied the initiative on the battlefield, encircling the fleets of the Spaniards and the Dutch, and seemed to sink them all to the bottom of the sea.
By the time the battleship had lost a third, the Spanish commander had finally realized that they had no hope of winning.
