0637 Flying bunting

In the rest of the time, after Liu Pei took over the heavy responsibility of command, he stood at the bow of the ship and looked at the southeast, hoping that news would come as soon as possible, and relax by the way.

The fleet sailed for quite a long time, but it didn't go far at all. Because the current sail ships were not fast in the first place, and each ship was towing a captured Dutch battleship behind it, it seriously affected the speed.

Liu Pei looked at the waves on the bow of the ship on the deck, and his heart became more and more anxious. I kept praying that nothing would happen. The salty sea breeze relieved a lot of anxiety in my heart. Just as Liu Pei was thinking about the battle situation ahead, he suddenly heard the lookout shouting: "The fleet has found a ship in front of it, it seems to be our own sentinel ship!" ”

Liu Pei was refreshed when he heard this! Whether it's good news or bad news, the results will be available immediately. Liu Pei hurriedly raised the binoculars and looked into the distance. In the telescope, the ship looked as if it was really a sentinel ship that had departed early.

Liu Pei suppressed the pounding heartbeat and carefully adjusted the focus of the telescope. He was so careful because he saw a lot of small patches of color on the sentry boat! If Liu Pei guessed correctly, it should be a string of colored flags!

It would be great if there were indeed strings of bunting on the sentinel ship! Because those little bunting are celebratory flags that will only be hung up during the big celebration! This means that the Coro Bay side has won big!

As the ships approached each other, Liu Pei finally saw clearly! Sure enough, there are strings of colorful flags on the sentry ship to indicate the big celebration! Strings of small buntings flutter in the sea breeze, making people more and more happy! And not only Liu Pei saw it clearly, but even the lookout hand saw it clearly! He raised his voice to inform the whole ship, causing a round of jubilation on board. Even Liu Pei slapped his fist twice in the air!

Now that the victory has been confirmed, Liu Pei is not in a hurry. Now what he is most concerned about is how the battle will be? Did Liu Xiang confer the head?

The sentinel ship soon sailed to the side of the flagship, and sent a small boat to send a messenger to board the flagship to report to Liu Pei. The herald who reported the news was flushed with excitement! He first saluted Liu Pei and then said loudly: "Report to the commander, the First Fleet has won a great victory!" Destroy most of the enemy, Liu Xiang gives the head! ”

Hear the tool

After hearing the news, Liu Pei also completely settled down, and he shouted loudly: "Okay! Well done! ”

Next, Liu Pei briefly asked about the battle, but the herald didn't know much. After they met with Wu Yizhou's fleet, they knew that Liu Pei was in a hurry and came back in advance to deliver the news. The specific news will not be known until Wu Yizhou and the others arrive.

Liu Pei thought for a moment and said: "Tell your captain to run again, and inform the First Fleet to rush directly to Penghu, where we will have a short rest." There's going to be a big move soon. Because I'm going to be ready to attack Tainan immediately! ”

The heralds were already dancing with excitement when they got the huge news. However, he still suppressed his emotions and left after saluting Liu Pei.

Watching the sentinel ship leave, Liu Pei once again ordered the fleet to turn. After this fleet turn, the speed was still so slow. Even because of the headwind, it has become a little slower. But the atmosphere in the fleet was completely different! Everyone was beaming! Even the tortured Dutch screams louder, sounding pleasant!

Liu Pei, who was completely relieved, began to read the information that came out of the torture. The more Liu Pei looked, the more he felt that this was a good opportunity. The city of Geranza is definitely at its lowest level of strength. There was not a single warship, only a few small ships that could not be fought at sea. Moreover, the number of troops in the city of Geranza is relatively low because of the transfer to the fleet.

What's even more amazing is that the Dutch are now nearing the end of the city of Prominsha, which is being built. As long as the city of Reransha is taken in one fell swoop, the city of Prominsha, which currently has no armed strength, will be equivalent to being sent! It is also a fully architecturally complete station. How to miss out on this buy one get one free good thing!

In 1624, the Dutch officially occupied Taiwan. The Dutch occupied southern Taiwan in an important way, and built a fortified castle in Dayuan (present-day Anping District, Tainan City, which was still a small island at the time), which became the center of Dutch rule in Taiwan.

In the second year after the castle was built in Dayuan, the Dutch bought another piece of land from the Taiwanese aborigines for fifteen pieces of cotton cloth, and later built a Puluo city here.

The Dutch ruled Taiwan mainly by adoption

Take a two-handed policy, one soft and the other hard. Give gifts to the aborigines, give them Western gadgets they haven't seen before, and use them to win favor. And the use of force to suppress those indigenous people who are really unwilling to cooperate. Between 1635 and 1645, the Dutch launched an attack on Xiaoliuqiu Island (present-day Ryukyu Township, Pingtung County) and almost wiped out the aborigines there.

Thinking of this, Liu Pei immediately called the staff officers and officers over for the assigned tasks. At this time, the officers' fighting spirit was high, and when they heard that they were going to attack Tainan, they were even more gearing up one by one, and they were eager to rush over immediately. Liu Pei had to tell them that there were a large number of wounded on the ship who needed to recuperate, so they gave up the idea of turning directly to Taiwan.

Liu Pei's fleet was very close to Penghu, so although it was in the case of headwinds, it still rushed to Penghu quickly. When the tattered fleet appeared outside the port of Penghu, the whole Penghu was boiling!

Because almost every battleship has a captured battleship towed behind it, which is clearly a big victory! Of course, there are fewer battleships back, which also sparked everyone's discussion. Everyone thought that there must have been a tragic naval battle!

By the time they knew that Liu Pei's fleet had not lost its warships, but had been sent to reinforce the First Fleet, the entire Penghu exploded!

After Zheng Zhilong was killed by the Red Eye Dragon King, Liu Xiang fell into the hands of the Red Eye Dragon King again, and at the same time wiped out more than half of Liu Xiang's fleet and all of the Dutch fleet! This is super good news for maritime merchants!

This means that the position of the Red Eye Dragon King's sea overlord is unshakable! I am afraid that no pirate will dare to disobey the orders he gives in the future. It seems that the 3,000 taels of silver are still worth it. Therefore, the maritime merchants on Penghu Island spontaneously gathered, and they all wanted to get close to Liu Peixian.

When the fleet entered the harbor and sent down a large number of wounded and prisoners from the ship, the victory was confirmed. Naturally, everyone's interest was high, and they spontaneously sent people to help Liu Pei transport the wounded and escort the prisoners. The locals, who had been assaulted during the Dutch attack on Penghu, wept and screamed, and some even rushed up to grab the captives and beat them. When they finished venting, they all kowtowed to Liu Pei from afar, thanking Liu Pei for avenging them!
