To be honest, Kui Yi was really scared of being beaten by the Ming army!
From the initial battle of Relanja City, when the war first started, he never expected that he could be captured in just one day.
But even so, he always believed that the Ming army was lucky, with many people and ships.
Even later in Nanyang, Kui Yi was always afraid of the Ming army's large number of warships and troops. For this reason, he had to flee after hearing the news.
Flee from Batavia to the Lion City in the Straits of Malacca, then flee westward from the Lion City to Daguang in Dongwu, to Chittagong, to Colombo in Ceylon, and finally to Goa in the Mughal Empire.
On the way, the Ming army always fled. To describe it as losing a city, losing territory, and being defeated thousands of miles away is not an exaggeration at all.
However, from beginning to end, he always believed that the reason why he gave way to the Ming army and avoided it was because the Ming army had more troops and ships.
Because of this, after arriving in the Mughal Empire, Kuiyi felt that the Mughal Empire was also a big country and he finally no longer had to be afraid of the Ming army.
What he never expected was that the strength of the Ming army was many times greater than that of the Ming army, and Aurangzeb's ability to lead troops in battle was also recognized by him. However, after facing the Ming army, whether it was a water battle or a land battle,
They were all defeated by the Ming army.
What shocked him even more was that in just one day, a million-strong army was wiped out by the Ming people.
No matter what the reason was, Kui Yi had a shadow over the Ming army. So when he later fled to Allahabad, when he saw the roar of the camp outside the city, he fled immediately without saying a word.
In the end, Kui Yi went through all kinds of hardships before he escaped to the Persian Empire and saved his life.
In his life, he was completely afraid of the Ming army. If he was asked to face the Ming army, even if the Persian Empire's army was more powerful than the Ming army, he would not dare to go.
As for the sea, after all, he colonized all the way by boat, and he was not defeated by the Ming Dynasty navy. Kui Yi felt a little unsure.
What makes him even more reassured is that there are now more than a hundred sail warships here in the Persian Gulf. How powerful this combat force is, let's put it this way, if Zheng Zhibao, who captured Goa, leads his
If more than two hundred warships came over, even with the steam paddle-wheel warship, he would still be confident of defeating Zheng Zhibao.
Not to mention, in addition to more than a hundred sail warships, there are also large and small warships from Arab countries such as Persia and Oman, with the total number of ships reaching more than 500.
With such a huge naval force stationed there, I felt that there would be no problems at sea.
After running away for so long, I was very tired, and I could finally take a break.
If Zheng Zhibao didn't have the foresight and really knew how to attack by sea, he wouldn't mind trying to justify his reputation of "running away when the wind strikes".
As long as Zheng Zhibao is defeated, he will lure the enemy deeper, and those who run away after hearing the news are not running away at all!
The main force of the Naval Alliance is on Qeshm Island. It was the territory of the Persian Empire and was set aside as the headquarters of the Naval Alliance.
Qeshm Island is the largest island in the Persian Gulf on the north side of the Strait of Hormuz, facing the Persian coast across the Clarence Strait. More importantly, there is the famous Persian Bandar Abbas Port to the north.
Another part of the navy is stationed on Hormuz Island and Lazek Island, extending two large pincers like a crab to protect Bandar Abbas Port.
Bandar Abbas was a seaport built during the reign of Abbas I. It was used for foreign trade and was very prosperous. In addition, the Persian Empire had a mountain range from northwest to southeast on the Persian Gulf side, called the Zagros Mountains. The Persian Empire
The capital city is in the middle, follow this mountain range all the way to the southeast, and finally reach Bandar Abbas Port.
It can be seen that the geographical location of Bandar Abbas Port is also very important.
This morning, Kuiyi was lying on a beach chair on the beach of Qeshm Island, enjoying a massage from a Persian beauty. According to his own words, he had been suffering for so many days and it was time for him to enjoy happiness.
Anyway, in Persia, their king Abbas II led a large army to march in person, and it is estimated that he has not arrived at the battlefield yet, and it will be many days before the news comes.
Suddenly, he felt something was wrong. He opened his eyes and asked, "Is it going to rain?"
To be honest, he was a little dissatisfied. When he came out, there was no sign of rain at all. After lying there for a long time, he heard the sound of thunder, which made him move again.
However, when he opened his eyes, he found that the sky was clear and there were no dark clouds at all, let alone thunder or rain.
After looking at the sky, Kui Yi suddenly jumped up from the beach chair, looked up at the sea, and shouted with a trembling voice: "Is this the sound of artillery? Is this the sound of artillery?"
After escaping from the Mughal Empire, he was a little sensitive to the sound of gunfire.
He was not the only one on the beach. The other Westerners also looked up when they heard the noise. Soon, someone shouted loudly: "Your Majesty the Governor, it seems that the noise is coming from the islands of Hormuz and Lazek."
The sound of cannons, could it be the Ming Dynasty navy coming over?"
"Boom boom boom..."
The sound of thunder, or to be precise, the roar of artillery, became more and more intensive. Needless to say, there was definitely a naval battle over there, otherwise there would be no such dense sound of artillery.
Since there is a naval battle, as far as the situation in the Persian Gulf is concerned, there is no other possibility except for the Ming Navy to attack.
Thinking of this, after Kui got over his initial nervousness, he immediately said bitterly: "Yes, it must be the Ming Dynasty navy calling! Sheite, you came just in time!"
Then, while running to the camp, he shouted loudly: "Gather, the whole army goes out to fight!"
There are only a few sailing warships on Hormuz Island and Larzek Island, and most of them are local indigenous warships.
Zheng Zhibao's navy came over, and the warships on the two islands, although they may be more numerous than the Ming army, may not be able to stop it. If the real main force here, more than ninety sailing warships, came together,
It will definitely give the Ming Navy a surprise!
Thinking this way, Kuiyi became excited.
To be honest, he has been waiting for this opportunity.
This time, it was different from the war in the Mughal Empire.
Because the war in the Mughal Empire was commanded by Aurangzeb, Kuyi could only cooperate with him. If he lost, it was Aurangzeb's problem.
But now, it was Kui Yi who led the naval alliance, and it was his command that defeated Zheng Zhibao's navy. That was his honor, and he wanted to avenge his shame! And he believed that he would never lose to Zheng Zhibao in naval battles.
This is his strength!
Thinking this way, his mind became more active.
There are ten sail warships on Hormuz Island and Lazhek Island each, and there are more than 300 local warships of different sizes. With this strength, Zheng Zhibao wants to destroy them.
Such a huge warship will also take some time.
The best option is for those warships to consume more of Zheng Zhibao's troops and when they form a melee, he can lead more than ninety sail warships to suddenly kill them, and he will definitely defeat Zheng Zhibao's troops.
With this in mind, Kui Yi was not in a hurry, and issued an order. The Ming Dynasty's navy was very powerful, so he asked each ship to prepare for a while and be fully prepared before going out to fight.
In fact, his subordinates were a little disapproving of this.
After all, with nearly a hundred sail warships, when had such a huge military force ever existed?
These Western barbarians colonized along the coastline with a few ships, or a dozen ships, which meant they competed with each other for colonies. They might just have more warships. That's it, isn't it invincible!
Now there are so many sailing warships gathered here, enough to fight the navy of any country in Europe. No matter how powerful the legendary Ming Navy is, how much combat power is left after coming all the way? Just go for it!
However, Kui Yi was the commander of the combined fleet after all, and although his subordinates disapproved of it, they still obeyed his orders.
However, they soon discovered that something was wrong.
Not long after they heard the sound of artillery, the dense sound of artillery seemed to have become sparse. According to their experience, this was a sign that the war was about to end!
Is it possible that the Ming Navy just came forward, tested it out and then retreated?
Or is it that the Ming Navy was so powerful that it wiped out the warships on those two islands in such a short period of time?
Even if Zheng Zhibao had more than 200 warships under his command, it should not be possible to end the war so quickly. The most likely scenario is still the first scenario!
However, there is something wrong with this!
If it was the first situation, a clipper should have come to report the news.
However, they could not see any clippers coming to Qeshm Island.
You have to say that if the Ming Dynasty navy won the naval battle in such a short period of time, then there will definitely be remaining warships that will escape and ask for help from the main force here!
What's going on over there?
Kui Yi and his men were a little unsure. Faintly, Kui Yi had a bad feeling in his heart.
When fighting against other enemies, the battles were pretty much the same, and Kui Yi would never be wrong. However, when fighting against the Ming army, accidents always happened, one "scare" after another!
Feeling anxious in his heart, Kui Yi did not dare to delay any longer and rushed to the battlefield to see the situation.
If it really doesn't work, the best thing to do is run away!
No, with such a huge fleet of sail warships, why should we be afraid of the Ming Navy?
Kui Yi made some mental preparations and led the combined naval fleet towards the nearest Lazhek Island.
However, before he could get closer, he faintly saw black spots appearing on the sea.
Although he couldn't see it clearly, Kui Yi could guess that it looked like a big fish chasing a small fish, which was probably a battleship chasing him. The battleship emitting black smoke was probably a steam paddle-wheel warship of the Ming Dynasty.
With this thought in his mind, he quickly took out his telescope and started observing.
As a result, it doesn’t matter if you don’t look at it. Once you look at it, you will be stunned immediately.
