"Herald! Except for the 10,000 soldiers who stayed in Tainan, the rest of the soldiers began to board the ship and set off! ”

Zhu Youxiao stood on the newly renovated and expanded bluestone wharf, waved his hand to the front, and ordered to the Zhong Jixiang on the side.

"Wu Xilin, this southern place will be handed over to you for the time being, and the two basic national policies of the Ming Empire must be connected to the north and south of Taiwan as soon as possible!"

He turned his head and emphasized to Wu Xilin, chief of staff of the East China Sea Fleet.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, it won't be long before I, Wu Xilin, will be able to lead the soldiers to complete this task."

Wu Xilin immediately received the order.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Youxiao left Chief of Staff Wu Xilin and led an army of 10,000 to take charge of all the work in Tainan.

The remaining 80,000 Royal Navy officers and men boarded 50 Leopard cruisers and 180 armed Daifuku ships and sailed along the coast towards Keelung and Tamsui, where the Spaniards were entrenched.

Just a day later, the city of Santo Domingo, built by the Spaniards on a hill at the mouth of the Tamsui River, resisted for less than an hour before changing its owner and flag, and it became a base for the Royal Navy's East Sea Fleet.

Where could the Spaniards, with less than 2,000 men, be able to hold back the Royal Navy's guns?

After breaching the enemy's castle with artillery fire, Chung led a Marine Brigade of 10,000 soldiers into Tamsui City, and the enemy quickly broke down and fled, and then gave up resistance.

The city of Santo Domingo in Tamsui is also built on a steep hill, with a complete and good system of fortifications, as well as an observation point that can be seen from afar, and it has relatively good ventilation and sanitation conditions, water supply and drainage facilities.

Since the Spaniards occupied Tamsui and Keelung in Taiwan, the Pingpu people, the indigenous people here, began to migrate under the dual pressure of the Spaniards and the Han Chinese.

They successively migrated to Guandu, Beitou, Ga Nabei and other places, also known as Xiaobali Society.

The Spaniards adopted a colonial strategy of pulling a group and suppressing a group.

On the one hand, they pacified the tribes of the Pingpu aborigines such as Malinkeng and Jinbaoli, and on the other hand, they traced the Tamsui River up to pacify the Balikun Society, the Beitou Society, the Li Society, the Dalang Pump Society and other tribes.

When they had established themselves, they began to do what they said: We, knights, bring sword and fire instead of peace.

They began to use force to further invade the Plain of Lanyang, where the Kamalam people live.

The Spanish forces entered the Yilan region for a time, but soon after, they had no choice but to withdraw due to the strong counterattack of the Kamalans.

After the military invasion failed to achieve its effect, the Spaniards began to use religious and cultural weapons to promote Catholicism.

This kind of bloodless religious brainwashing is the most powerful weapon against the indigenous people.

For a time, the priest's robe replaced the military uniform, and the cross replaced the sword, gun, sword, and crossbow.

Before Tamsui was captured by the Ming Royal Navy's Grand Fleet, there were already several churches standing among the mountains and forests of this area, and many indigenous people had converted their faith and began to believe in God.

But all this officially came to an end after the arrival of the Royal East China Sea Fleet led by Zhu Youxiao.

In the eyes of these indigenous people, this land has attracted the coveted eyes of countless people because of its fertility and richness.

Those mighty Spaniards, who were able to rule the Han people and themselves, must have the power of the gods.

Now this sudden huge army of Han Chinese defeated the Spaniards very easily, but they could not afford to offend.

Therefore, under the subsequent capture of the Royal Navy officers, they did not scatter and fled, and appeared to be very cooperative.

Anyway, if you can't fight, it's better to surrender, at least there's no problem in saving your own life.

Because the time agreed with Zhang Guangzhe to attack the Japanese Kingdom is getting closer and closer, we have to hurry up.

Therefore, as soon as he occupied Tamsui City, Zhu Youxiao did not delay any longer.

He left a few generals to lead 10,000 soldiers to deal with all matters in the Tamsui area, and he and Zhong Ji Xiang led an army of 70,000 to Keelung Harbor, the real nest of the Spaniards in central and eastern Taiwan.

It's afternoon, and it's time to set off, calculate the time, and arrive at Chicken Coop Bay in the early hours of tomorrow morning, which happens to be the best time to launch a raid.

Keelung, also known as the chicken coop, seems to be raining endlessly, and when the Royal East China Sea Fleet heads to Chicken Coop Bay, it happens to be rainy again, and the sky is full of dark clouds.

However, Zhu Youxiao, who had already been reminded by Xiaohong, had already prepared.

The journey from Tamsui to Jilong Bay was not far, and they encountered this big storm after going to sea, but Zhu Youxiao did not let the royal fleet take shelter from the wind, but let the fleet speed up. 67

He had to get to the chicken coop before the strongest wind arrived.

But before we reached Jonlong Bay, the wind here still strengthened a lot.

Many of the old sailors also began to get seasick and vomit a mess on the ship, not to mention the soldiers on the ship who did not usually sail long distances.

However, Zhu Youxiao knew in his heart that the voyage of the fleet did not encounter any major twists and turns.

Zhu Youxiao even had the leisure to come to the bow deck of the flagship, holding on to the guardrail, and enjoying the beautiful scenery along the coast.

The central and eastern parts of Taiwan are mountainous, and sailing along the coastline, you can see the island's undulating peaks and lush jungles in the distance.

From a distance, the entire island seems to be completely covered with green jungle.

Occasionally, you can see some wild animals, large and small, appearing on the edge of the coastline, and they are curiously sticking their heads out to look at the fleet that appears on the beach.

Zhu Youxiao held the side of the boat and observed the situation on the island, which was regarded as a treasure island by the Han people in the previous life, which was really ill-fated.

In the 300 years of modern history in his previous life, he did not return to the motherland for a long time, and he was isolated at sea, which became an indelible pain in the hearts of countless people.

In the past, the Dutch, the Spaniards, and the Japanese invaded this place.

This is also the place where Zheng Chenggong was able to achieve fame, and used it as a base to fight against the Manchu Tartars.

However, when it was included in the territory of "my Great Qing Dynasty", it was forcibly occupied by the Japanese at the end of the Qing Dynasty.

Later, this treasure island was just recovered, but for well-known reasons, it was once again isolated from the motherland and became an unsinkable aircraft carrier in the mouth of the Stars and Stripes Banner.

He, a person with memories of his past life, was also very unfamiliar with this place.

He had never set foot on this island in his previous life, but now the heavens had given him a chance to come to a parallel plane in the multiverse.

In the future, this place will soon become a place of foundation for the Ming Empire.

Now the unknown road that Zhu Youxiao has taken, in his opinion, although there are unknown dangers, but it is full of challenges.

This made him unable to let go, and he was deeply fascinated, trying his best to stride towards this mysterious and unknown road.

Whether all this is right or wrong, let's not talk about it, only the people of later generations can give him an evaluation.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao vaguely felt that as he came to this era for longer and longer, he gradually grew from an inconspicuous little butterfly to the point where he could influence the course of the times.

When you wave your wings, the huge wind and waves that are flapped will inevitably bring a great change to the future direction of this era.

However, the future is still shrouded in a thick fog, from which he can only get a faint glimpse, but he cannot see the future and his own future.

However, this did not affect Zhu Youxiao's decision.

Suddenly, he remembered a famous saying: Don't give up on doing what you want to do because you're afraid of failure.

The future is mysterious, but if you don't work hard, you will regret it for life.

There are many things in this world that are only unthinkable and impossible to do.

As long as you do it boldly, even if you don't succeed, at least you won't leave any regrets.

The Grand Fleet went all the way without a single accident.

It wasn't until the morning of the second day after leaving the Tamsui area that a huge bay finally appeared in front of the officers and men of the Royal East Sea Fleet.

On the outside of this bay, there is an island that blocks the mouth of the bay, creating a large bay that is deeply recessed into the island.

Although Zhu Youxiao came here for the first time, according to the tips of the advanced intelligent light brain Xiaohong, he knew what kind of place this was.

There is no doubt that the destination has been arrived this time.

Next, it was the last battle of this eastern crusade against Taiwan.

After defeating the Spaniards entrenched here, he took control of the most important port in Taiwan and rested for a few days, which was the time to fight north.
