This fleet that suddenly came out was the Dinghai Guard led by Wang Zhi. The guard was newly established. Its team was composed of Wang Zhi's old troops, with a total force of nearly 6,000. If it was based on the standard of 5,600 as a guard, the Dinghai Guard was already in a state of overcrowding.

Speaking of which, when the king was recruited, there were only more than 3,000 people left under his command. Why did so many people suddenly appear?

It turned out that Guanhaiwei was beheaded because of his good deeds, and the senior officers below the commander and more than 1,700 soldiers were all beheaded. In the end, there were only more than 2,000 soldiers left. My father didn't care about his mother. It was really pitiful. Xu Jin once wanted to give these more than 2,000 soldiers to Yu Dayou, but the boy looked down on him. It was not until the king was directly recruited that Governor Xu had a sudden idea and placed more than 2,000 soldiers under Wang Zhi's command. In this way, it not only diluted Wang Zhi's old subordinates, but also arranged Guanhaiwei's group of bad soldiers who did not care about the sky and the earth.

Although Guanhaiwei's reputation is a bad street, Wang Zhi's subordinates are not much better. It is the turtle and the turtle, so the eldest brother can't dislike the second brother.

However, the new army of Dinghaiwei was also successful. Under the leadership of Wang Zhi, he successfully destroyed Xu Hai's old nest in the Shengsi Islands and submitted a sincere letter to Xu Jin, the governor of Zhizhe. In the next half month, the Dinghaiwei fleet wiped out several groups of pirates on the coastal islands of Zhejiang, which was considered a shameless courage.

Xu Jin did not discriminate against Dinghaiwei. He immediately praised the news and paid the reward silver and pensions fairly according to the standards. He also personally awarded the "brave" hat to the soldiers who were beheaded at level 10 or above. The bad soldiers of the Yuanguan Haiwei got the hats given by the Governor, and each of them was so excited that they burst into tears, wishing to betray the general immediately. Wang Zhi's old subordinates who were pirates were also infected by this kind of ritual honor, and at the same time they also developed a sense of belonging to be valued, so they gradually restrained their banditry spirit and became more active in going to fight to kill the enemy.

As the saying goes, everything is ready, and if it is not planned, it will be abandoned. On the fifth day of the winter month, that is, the day when Xu Jin left Hangzhou and went to Songjiang Prefecture to supervise the battle, he ordered Wang Zhi to lead the fleet north to block the Yangtze River estuary and prepare to cut off the Japanese pirates' retreat. As a result, Wang Zhi's fleet happened to encounter Orishi Miko's fleet on the sea near the Yangtze River estuary.

There is nothing to say. The brave one wins when they meet on a narrow road, and the truth is only within the range of the cannons. So, the two convenient wars launched a fierce artillery battle under the sunset. The artillery fire was everywhere, and the bombardment was very lively. However, the artillery battle did not last long, because the sun set and the darkness fell on the earth. Everyone looked at it and shooting artillery was also a waste of ammunition.

It was also Orishinomiko who should not have died. She took advantage of the darkness to break through the defense line of Wang Zhi's fleet and led the six-breasted brig ship to the southern sea surface and fled. The remaining four-breasted brig ships were sunk two of the bows, captive one and burned one.

Some people may ask why Orishimiko didn't flee to Japan east, but fled south to the sea in Zhejiang Province. Isn't this seeking death?

In fact, Orishinomiko also wanted to escape east, but Mr. Feng didn't do it. It was winter at this time, and the northwest wind was blowing. It was not easy to escape back to Japan against the wind, so I could only escape south with the wind and take good care of my eyes before talking.

By the way, the northwest wind was really strong. In the second half of the night, it was snowing. Orishinomiko was both cold in body and mind. She didn't dare to stop and ordered the sails to sail at full speed. Wherever she floated, she got rid of Wang Zhi's fleet first. Because the dozens of Fro cannons on Wang Zhi's fleet were too strong. If it weren't for the darkness, Orishinomiko would not have any confidence to escape.

Orishinomiko didn't sleep all night. When the fish belly was pale in the sky, she climbed onto the mast herself and observed with her clairvoy eyes. However, when she saw the little sail shadows on the sea level, she was so shocked that she almost fell off the clairvoy eyes. She punched the mast pale face and gritted her teeth and said hatred: "Damn it, is Wang Zhi, the old dog, trying to kill all the dogs? It's outrageous, don't fall into my hands!!"

In fact, the one chasing behind was not Wang Zhi's fleet, but Changguowei's fleet. It turned out that after a night of full speed, Orishimiko's ship had fled to the sea near Xiangshan County, Ningbo Prefecture. The fleet of Changguowei was just as it was cruised by the nearby sea. When he saw the six-bowed ship flying the Japanese flag, he immediately caught up.

At this moment, the commander of Changguowei Lu Yang stood on the bow of the main ship, holding a thousand miles away to observe the Japanese ship in front of him, and a group of generals of Changguowei stood beside him, each of them excitedly.

Speaking of which, since Dinghai County was destroyed and Wang Zhi surrendered, the pirate groups of all sizes along the coast of Ningbo Prefecture have almost wiped out, so it is difficult to have a great chance of making meritorious contributions. Moreover, Changguowei has been cruising on the sea for seven or eight days recently, and has not even caught a thief hair. It was just when he was extremely depressed that the heaven suddenly sent a big gift, a six-headed big ship. If it could be taken down, it would definitely be a great achievement.

At this time, the generals of the Changguo Guard did not know that the leader of the Japanese pirates on the ship was Miko Orishinomiko, otherwise they would have been even more excited and climaxed. Miko Orishinomiko also thought that the one who was chasing Wang Zhi's fleet was coming, so she dared to stop and fight and continued to flee south at full speed along the north wind. So, the two fleets chased each other and arrived on the coast of Fujian Province in the afternoon.

"Damn it, coward!"

"I'm so sad about his uncle, and I'll run away!"

The Changguowei chased after most of the day but still hadn't caught up. The generals were so angry that they smoked and cursed. However, this was useless. The north wind was still whistling, and the Japanese ships plucked up their sails and fled quickly.

However, at this moment, a fleet of ships sailed out of the sea in the northeast. Although the fleet only had three bows, they were all six-masted ocean-going giant ships. The commander Lu Yang was shocked and hurriedly ordered the fleet to lower the sails and slow down, adjust the angle to guard against it.

The six-massed ocean-going giant ships that suddenly emerged were Western ships returning from Japan. If Xu Jin were here, he would have recognized at a glance that one of the Western ships stood on the bow, which was the Portuguese Pires. This guy ran to the capital to see the newly ascended young emperor Zhu Hougui and asked the Ming Dynasty to open up maritime trade. Unfortunately, he failed in the end and was sent back to Guangzhou by Zhu Hougui and urged him to leave the territory of the Ming Dynasty immediately.

However, Pires was not willing to fail. After returning to Guangzhou, he led the fleet to leave, but he attracted attention from Hong Kong and Macau. Last year, he even occupied the islands in Tuen Mun, which directly led to the naval battle of Tuen Mun. As a result, he was defeated by the Guang Navy and fled back to Manlacca (now Malacca area).

This year, Pirez made a comeback. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Japanese pirates and pirates invading, he occupied the main island of Hong Kong and nearby islands in one fell swoop, actively building fortifications such as fortifications, as if I was not leaving, and I was tempted to bite me.

Because Pires was well prepared this time, the Guangdong Navy encircled and suppressed three times in a row. Not only did he fail to drive the Westerners away, but he lost his troops and generals, his vitality was severely damaged, and his warships were seriously damaged. He no longer had the ability to launch the fourth encirclement and suppression. He could only watch the Westerners grow bigger and build the fortifications on the island as solid as iron barrels.

After Pires gained a foothold on the coast of Guangdong, he began to extend his tentacles to Fujian and Zhejiang, engaging in smuggling and profit-making activities, and even went to Japan to do business.

Not long ago, Pires personally led a fleet to Japan and exchanged a batch of inferior Western firearms for more than 100,000 taels of silver. At this moment, Pires was on his way back to Guangdong, and it was purely a coincidence that he met the Changguowei fleet.

Therefore, Pires was also shocked when he suddenly saw a fleet flying the Ming army. However, this guy was cruel enough and immediately ordered to take action first and fire decisively.

Pires' three-bow Western hull is huge and is in the upper wind zone, so it has an advantage. Coupled with the terrifying rate of fire of the Flanger cannon, hundreds of cannons fire at the same time, how could the Changguowei fleet resist it? It was instantly blown up and fell apart.

After half an hour of fierce fighting, the Changguo Guard Fleet was almost wiped out, and only three clutches escaped. More than 2,700 people were killed, including commander Lu Yang. The sea surface of several miles was filled with floating corpses and rotten wood. How could it be a miserable word?

On the other hand, only one of the Western ships was slightly damaged, and the hero left the battle waters with a high spirit. When Wang Zhi's fleet arrived, he saw countless floating corpses and a broken ship that had not completely sunk. Wang Zhi was shocked and did not dare to chase after him anymore. He hurriedly ordered people to salvage the bodies of the officers and soldiers, and sent a clutch to report back to Songjiang Mansion.

On the morning of the 12th of the winter moon, Xu Jin hit several cases with a blue face in the temporary governor's office of Songjiang Prefecture. The officials, including the prefect of Songjiang, were so scared that they did not dare to show up. The generals showed grief and anger, clenched their fists, and clattered their steel teeth.

The entire fleet was destroyed, including commander Lu Yang, and more than 2,700 people were killed in a total of more than 2,700 people. What a painful news, this was the heaviest loss since Xu Jin presided over the battle.
