After the war, there was silence on the coast of Penghu.

Zheng Zhibao jumped off the double-deck battleship and grinned at the eight three-masted sailboats whose flags had been replaced.

"Hahaha, one official, you will win a great victory!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yiguan rarely smiled on his face, but he didn't say anything.

Huang Cheng also smiled and said, "In this way, the court's request to capture Dutch warships has been met. For the remaining battle to siege Penghu Fort, let the court come!"

"Send the order, let's go to Yizhou!" Zheng Yiguan nodded, walked on the shore with his hands behind his back, and said:

"We all did it for helping the court to block the Dutch and capture a warship, and it was all our Zheng family. It was nothing to do with us."

"Yes!"

Huang Cheng was a little moved and walked beside Zheng Yiguan and said:

"You are well-organized. I never thought that this battle would have such amazing results. I believe that the court will promote you, right?"

Hearing this, Zheng Yiguan laughed:

"I never care about this official position. I just give a guerrilla general, but it's just a false reputation. What can I get?"

Huang Cheng agreed very much and nodded and said:

"Yes, the court will not give us military power!"

The two chatted and walked, talking about the key to how the Zheng family gained a foothold in Yizhou and Fujian. As for Zheng Zhibao, they were commanding the Zheng family's sailors and soldiers to clean up these ships.

Because of the previous battle, the decks of these ships were stained with Dutch blood, and the ground was messy, corpses everywhere, muskets and halberds fell all over the ground.

The best weapons need to be sorted out and collected for your own use. The decks and cabins full of blood and corpses must also be cleaned in time to avoid plague.

They never thought that the tiger pier cannon bought cheaply from the court and used for close-range fire was so terrifying that it was almost equivalent to plowing the Dutch's deck!

This battle was undoubtedly a great victory for the Zheng family.

They captured all Dutch ships, including flagships, and a complete Dutch fleet. The harvest was so great.

Zheng Yiguan knew that without the Fujian Navy dragging Luo En, they would not have taken Bush so easily. After all, this guy was also the naval admiral with strong experience in the East India Company.

If Lawen comes to support him, Zheng Yiguan has no chance of winning.

However, he would not thank Yu Zizao for anything.

What the court wanted was a Dutch warship, and the recovery of Penghu and Zhangzhou Port areas. But what their Zheng family wanted was to take the opportunity to gain a foothold and grow!

......

"What, after Zheng Yiguan won the battle, he left like this?"

Looking at the sea full of wreckage after the war, Fujian General Yu Zizao seemed a little surprised before he could have time to win the battle of Penghu.

Wang Mengxiong walked over and his face looked very ugly:

"This is a certificate of victory sent by Zheng Yiguan, let's take a look."

The more Yu Zizao looked at the document that was executed first and then reported, the more angry he was, he sneered and said:

"Send the documents to the capital and let Your Majesty see it too!"

As he said that, he handed the document back to Wang Mengxiong.

The latter looked at it and his face became even more ugly, saying:

"Zheng Yiguan captured eight Dutch sailing warships, leaving only one for us, not Bush's flagship."

"This Zheng Yiguan is such a powerful plan!"

"We're going to eat this mute person?"

"Otherwise, can we still beat the Zheng family?" Yu Zizao sneered and turned to ask: "How much have we lost in this battle?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Mengxiong's eyes dimmed and said:

"The assault boats were sunk more than 40, the Fire Dragon Ship was damaged twelve, and the Cangshan warships were sunk eight, and the rest were damaged and needed renovation."

"As for Xiaofu ship, there is only one left that can barely move. The number of naval officers and soldiers who died in battle is still counted. Including Hong Jiyuan, eight officers above the total level were killed."

This is the result of a different level. It is the result of a forced naval battle. Killing one thousand enemies will cause three thousand damage to yourself. I hope the casualties in this battle today are worth it!

Thinking of this, Yu Zizao sighed and asked:

“What about the harvest?”

Wang Mengxiong said: "When returning to the town, three damaged three-masted sailboats were captured. They should be able to be used after repair. Sink the remaining five. The captain of the Garen warship surrendered, and it is said that he had a conflict with Lawen."

"I don't know the truth or falsehood in the end, so I will stay and wait for the general town to fall!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Zizao breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, the Garen warship was still there, which means that the things that the Dutch on the ship should be used to fight should still be there.

This is the capital for progress!

"Where is the enemy commander named Lawn, haven't you found it yet?" Yu Zizao seemed a little distracted and wanted to see the huge Garen battleship immediately.

Wang Mengxiong followed behind him and said as he walked:

"This thief disappeared after the battle. Now the navy battalions are searching for all their strength, but the sea is so big that he should have sunk to the bottom of the sea, so it is not certain."

"Please sort it out and report to the capital!" Yu Zizao nodded helplessly, and suddenly found a black shadow in front of him. He looked up and was stunned at the time.

The Galen warship in front of me was several laps larger than the small Fu Ship with the largest tonnage among the Fujian Navy, and was like a small hill, blocking his eyes.

This is not over yet. This ship has another huge advantage over the three-masted sailboat that is both military and commercial, that is, the Galen warship was a complete warship since its design.

It is also the earliest battleship to appear in the world.

Yu Zizao was a little surprised, even a little thankful.

If it weren't forcibly driven into the near sea, it would be impossible to capture it with the current strength of the Fujian Navy's warship. The only result would be to repel it after huge casualties.

Arriving on the Garen warship, which had been controlled by the Fujian Navy, Yu Zizao began to observe the front and rear composition of the warship in detail. He wanted to know the reason why this warship was so powerful.

Compared with the structure of the Cangshan warship of the Fujian Navy, the front tower of the Dutch Garen warship was transferred to the tail of the bow, and the bow was obliquely extended with a sail mast, which was fixed to its front with a support rope.

A new structure, the bow, was built in the front of the ship building to the space under the bowsprit where the bowspin is located.

Yu Zizao went in and took a look, and soon walked out with his nose covering his nose. The purpose of this area was designed to act as a toilet for Dutch crew members...

In addition to the above changes, the Galen Battleship also added a unique stern lookout.

This is an open platform surrounding the entire stern, equipped with a sea bell that can sound an early warning to the entire ship. The sailor holding a monocular telescope can clearly observe the movements of the surrounding sea.

After walking around, Yu Zizao was very satisfied with today's harvest.

He could see that the Dutch Garen warship had extremely high requirements for airworthiness and firepower, so that it could seize advantageous positions and exert its advantageous firepower during combat.

But accordingly, they gave up their ability to sail offshore, resulting in being trapped in the offshore in the battle just now, unable to move, and could only be passively beaten.

Finally, the assault boat was hooked up with ropes from all around and had to surrender.

In fact, in the early 17th century, the main sailing ships in the British-Dutch war were like the Galen warships in front of them, all with low sides, cross sails and high platforms.

Such a Garen warship has extremely high stability in the deep sea, and the sixty cannon cannons equipped on both sides make its firepower extremely powerful.

At that time, the British lined up with several such Galen warships, fully leveraging the firepower advantages of both sides, and completely defeated the Dutch's invincible sailing fleet with rounds of neat artillery on the sea.

Later, they defeated the Spanish Invincible Armada in the same way.

The British-Dutch War and the Portuguese-Holland Naval Battle marked the rise of a number of emerging powers such as the British Empire, the Portuguese colonial empire, and the inevitable decline of old-fashioned powers such as the Netherlands and Spain.

But from today on, the history of the world may be about to go a fork.
