The Last Action Is His Chapter 170

There are typhoons in winter and spring? If the records are correct, it is possible that they will occur during this period.

In fact, Emperor Chongzhen did not know that there is also the possibility of typhoons in winter and spring, but the probability is lower. For example, on February 14, 2004, the tropical storm "Phoenix" appeared in the coastal areas of Jiangsu Province.

However, Emperor Chongzhen knew one thing: the ships at that time had very poor ability to resist typhoons.

Without going into distant events, let’s just talk about the Chongzhen period, when Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming were fleeing Shandong by boat to join the Jianlu, Shang Kexi was ordered to intercept them in Lushun. However, they encountered a storm and all the intercepting ships were destroyed.

Let's take another example from the Yangtze River. In 1658, Zheng Chenggong and the Northern Expedition Army led by Zhang Huangyan, the assistant minister of the Southern Ming Ministry of War, entered the Yangtze River, but encountered a hurricane when they arrived at Yangshan. One third of the more than 1,000 warships were destroyed, more than 8,000 soldiers drowned, and Zheng Chenggong's three sons also died in the incident. Due to the heavy losses, Zheng Chenggong had to withdraw his troops southward.
