Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 160 Crusade against the traitor Zheng Zhilong

"Retreat, retreat..." Jia Long ordered the retreat without hesitation.

After the order was issued, the Dutch fleet did not evacuate in a hurry, but retreated while fighting to prevent being taken advantage of by the opponent.

But in this case, the rescue operation would have to be suspended, and they would have to leave several sinking ships and people on them.

"Hey, what's going on? Are they going to retreat?"

The new army and the Portuguese couldn't believe it, because they hadn't received the news that the South Australian navy led by Tang Ning and Ye Dacheng was returning.

Although the Dutch have suffered several losses in a row, they still have a great advantage.

It seems a little unreasonable to take advantage of it and leave like this after suffering a loss, without even caring about one's own people.

But the fact is that the retreating Dutch didn't even notify Zheng Zhilong's people at all.

They only reacted when the Dutch were about to leave the battlefield, and hurriedly followed.

Neither the new army nor the Portuguese chased after them anymore, because both sides were a little exhausted after a big battle.

Moreover, the Dutch were obviously prepared, and it was much more difficult for the small boat to hit the boat close to blow up.

I can't figure out the situation now, if it is a trap set by the enemy, it will be troublesome.

So the new army and the Portuguese silently watched the Dutch and the few remaining Zheng troops retreat.

After evacuating for a certain distance, the Dutchman and Zheng Jun also parted ways.

Because the Dutch wanted to return to the senior officials, Zheng Jun's people naturally wanted to return to Fujian.

The Dutch didn't even tell their partners that the Nan'ao Navy of the New Army was returning. If you don't pay more attention to the direction of Fujian, it is easy to hit you head-on.

This was the fact. Unaware and unprepared, this remnant army of small boats crashed into the fleet led by Ye Dacheng, and Tangning was among them.

He had just suffered a defeat and his morale was low. When he suddenly encountered the powerful new army Nan'ao Navy, how could he stand up to it.

Almost collapsed at the touch of a touch, unable to escape, and finally the entire army was wiped out.

The Dutch retreated, but the motley crew of the new army and the Portuguese armed merchant ships did not leave.

While cleaning the battlefield, he rescued his own people, and captured those Dutch prisoners by the way, capturing nearly 500 people in total.

Of course, they still need to guard against the counterattack of the Dutch. They didn't know why the Dutch escaped until they waited until the South Australia Navy led by Ye Dacheng.

Tangning was standing at the bow of Ye Dacheng's flagship. When everyone saw him, they all cheered loudly, even more excited than the victory they just won.

Looking at the battlefield where the gunpowder smoke had not yet cleared, Tangning was quite emotional.

He didn't expect that the menacing Dutchman would be stopped outside the door by such a miscellaneous army.

Although it was the arrival of his own fleet that scared the Dutch away, their bravery was beyond Tangning's imagination.

Moreover, this blocking battle was largely spontaneous, without the command and leadership of the senior generals of the new army, which required them to have great courage.

So, it wasn't that Ming people couldn't fight, but that there wasn't a kind of strength to gather them together. Now Tangning seemed to have found this way.

Tangning's return let everyone know that the Dutchman was scared away by Mr. Tang, and they felt more at ease.

The rumors spread by Zheng Zhilong are not self-defeating.

After the fleet successfully arrived at Hong Kong, the reinforcements from Fucheng had just arrived, led by Wu Shu, with a strength of [-].

There was also Tangning's guard battalion, led by Huang Dabiao, while Song Yunshu himself was stationed in Fucheng to prevent any changes in the direction of Fujian.

The news that Tangning had been kidnapped was known to only a few people, not even Huang Dabiao, so after seeing Tangning, he was only excited and didn't look worried at all.

After hearing that the Dutchman had escaped, Wu Shu was very surprised. How could such a big move by the Dutchman be like a child's play, with no beginning and no end, and it was inexplicable.

So Wu Shu came here this time, didn't fire a single shot, and had to go back the same way, as if he came here specially from Fucheng to meet Tangning.

Of course, it wasn't true that nothing had been done, at least so much gold, silver and jewels on board needed a lot of troops to transport them to Fucheng.

Tangning didn't hide the fact that she had obtained Wu Ping's treasure. When everyone knew that Tangning had only gone to Nan'ao once, she found the treasure that had been rumored for hundreds of years.

Not only did he think it was normal, but he also believed that Tangning was the one chosen that day. Only such a lucky person could easily find the treasure that so many people couldn't find.

In Chaozhou Fucheng, when Xiao Wu told Song Yunshu that Tangning was on her way back to Fucheng, she couldn't believe it, and then went directly to the south gate to wait.

When she saw Tangning and Song Yunwan appeared together in the field of vision, she finally let go of her heart, and the two lines of tears fell unconsciously. No one knew how much pressure she had endured all day and night.

However, all this is over, she quickly wiped away her tears, she just needs to be a woman behind her back.

Tang Ning's first order back to Fucheng was to prepare the whole army for war. The first thing she did was to issue a call to action, enumerating Zheng Zhilong's more than a dozen criminal evidences, and then quickly spread it through notices and "Ming Pao".

The people who knew the facts were all filled with righteous indignation.

"This Zheng Zhilong really can't change his habit of being a villain. We Mr. Tang sincerely resolved our conflicts with him and took the initiative to give him some benefits. He is so unscrupulous. It is really shameless to set up such a conspiracy to harm us Mr. Tang. gone."

"This Zheng Zhilong, who has no good intentions, actually dug a tunnel in Nan'ao a long time ago. That's because he didn't care about drinking. He wanted to deceive us, Mr. Tang from the very beginning. Fortunately, Mr. Tang is the chosen one. Everything You can turn bad luck into good luck.”

"What's even worse is that this person colluded with foreign barbarians to attack our Ming territory. He is so lawless and treats our Ming as nothing. Such traitors must be eliminated."

"Today Zheng Zhilong can collude with the red-haired ghosts to attack our Chaozhou government, and tomorrow he can collude with the tartars to destroy our Ming Dynasty. Such selfish, evil-minded traitors will be punished by the whole world."

"The red-haired ghost was scared out of his wits by our new army. Hearing that Mr. Tang returned, he was scared and ran away immediately."

"Hmph, the shameless red-haired ghost only dares to attack secretly, not to fight head-on with our new army."

The people of the two prefectures who didn't want to fight Zheng Zhilong at first, no one raised any objection after hearing about this incident, and they overwhelmingly supported Tangning's conquest of Zheng Zhilong.

Organized by progressive students, the Women's Federation, and the Security Guard Corps, tens of thousands of people took to the streets to hold demonstrations, shouting various slogans.

"Fight against the traitor Zheng Zhilong..."

"Eliminate the traitor Zheng Zhilong..."

"Revenge for the sacrificed soldiers, blood debts..."

The entire Chaozhou Prefecture and Huizhou Prefecture immediately mobilized, donating money and donating goods.

On the morning of February [-]th, Tang Ning, the people and soldiers sang and paid homage to the sacrificed people.

These sacrificed martyrs include the soldiers of the New Army, the militiamen of the Security Guard Corps, and the people who voluntarily supported them. They are all heroes, and they will eventually be remembered by the world.

After the grand ceremony, Tangning raised her arms and shouted: "Fight the rebels, pay blood for blood!"
"Fight against the traitors, blood debts will be paid in blood!"

"Fight against the traitors, blood debts will be paid in blood!"

"Fight against the traitors, blood debts will be paid in blood!"

Outside the Heroes' Cemetery, the sound of mountains shouting and tsunami sounded, and the waves were higher than the waves.

"Set off……"

There are 5000 elite soldiers and 2 civilian husbands. Tangning personally sits in the town and targets Fujian directly.
