Chapter 292: A Little Test
"Peace?"
Zhu Youxiao felt very funny, "These Westerners want to negotiate peace? It's impossible. ”
Zhu Youxiao looked at the traitor licking the dog in front of him, and said with disdain.
This was the morning of the second day after arriving in the Penghu Islands, and after the soldiers had rested for the night, they found that the representatives sent by the Dutch expressed their desire to negotiate peace with the royal fleet.
The Dutch found that the attacking enemy was the Royal Navy from present-day Beiming, and the fleet was so large that it was far from being able to cope with it.
As a result, these Westerners came up with their best set: negotiating peace.
Even if peace cannot be negotiated, the two sides will have to make a truce! It would also be excellent to let other forces mediate and delay a little time.
After thinking about it, a Westerner general finally spent a lot of money to find a Han Chinese who used to work in the Dutch Chamber of Commerce in the Japanese Kingdom as an envoy.
This Westerner general believes that the soldiers of the Beiming royal family will not kill their compatriots without saying a word.
Even if he killed, it was the Han people of the Ming Kingdom who were killed, and he would not be heartbroken.
He has confidence, and now all the Dutch fleets and armed personnel in the Nanyang region belong to the Dongyingdu Company.
The present East India Company is very powerful, and the Dutch government, with the power of the government cabinet, has mortgaged 25,000 guilders to the Dutch East India Company.
This led to the famous tulip bubble in the 17th century, and the Dutch government's inability to raise funds to protect the normal development of the market began to lead to a crazy recession in the Dutch economy.
However, the East India Company, which can be called a behemoth, is still not something that ordinary people and countries can afford to provoke.
"Peace? Discuss and Nima's! ”
"Smack!"
Zhu Youxiao heard the traitor licking the dog in front of him, and kept talking crookedly, and with a big ear scraper, he whipped the traitor licking the dog and flew away!
"You dog traitor, first you went to be the dog of the widows, and now you are the dog of those Westerners, don't you have the slightest sense of shame?"
"Go back and tell your new master, obediently wash your neck, and wait for Lao Tzu to go over and cut off your head!"
"Nima's! It's disgusting! ”
Seeing this traitor licking the dog, blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and he left on a fast boat, Zhu Youxiao was furious.
If it weren't for his own Ming Empire, which is a big country, and wouldn't have killed the other party's envoy without saying a word, Zhu Youxiao couldn't wait to draw his sword and cut off the head of this traitor licking dog to the ground!
These Westerners are holding meetings, discussing peace, protesting, and sanctioning at every turn, which is really disgusting.
In Zhu Youxiao's past and present life, what he hated most was this kind of meaningless protest, mediation, peace, and cooperation.
Between countries, it doesn't matter what means and tricks are played.
No matter how much there is crooked talk, in the end it is still to speak by force, and any other means are useless.
For all countries in the world, Zhu Youxiao has only one sentence: What's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine.
"The order, the soldiers immediately boarded the ship, and according to the plan, divided into two detachments, launched a general attack on Penghu Island and Baisha Island!"
He immediately ordered the prime minister on the side.
The main reason why yesterday we did not immediately launch an all-out attack on the Penghu Islands was that the officers and men were already very tired after three consecutive days of sailing, and they had to rest for one night. 118
It was already three o'clock in the morning of the second day of arriving at the Penghu Islands, and the day was very clear, there was no wind on the sea, and the sea breeze seemed to be lazy under the fierce sun.
On this day, the officers and men of the Royal East China Sea Fleet, who had been silent all night, launched an attack on large and small islands in all directions as brigades.
Zhu Youxiao and Zhong Jixiang led 10,000 officers and men of a Royal Marine Brigade to attack Baisha Island.
A small fortress was built there on Baisha Island, where about 200 Westerners were stationed.
Although they were few in number, the fort was built dangerously and strongly.
The fortress is embedded in a hill, with only one side to attack, and behind it is a mountain wall, and behind the mountain wall is the rough sea.
On both sides are the rubble walls like wolf's teeth, although it is barely enough for people to walk, but if you are not careful, you can easily be scraped by sharp stones and bleed to the ground, which is completely unsuitable for large troops.
At the same time, because of relying on Penghu, the Dutch soldiers also dared to summon up the courage here to launch an offensive and defensive counterattack against the enemy.
If they were defeated, they could have retreated to Penghu Island in the rear, and under ordinary circumstances, it would be even more difficult for the enemy to annihilate them.
It's just that the current Dutch, they have encountered the Royal Navy of the Ming Empire, armed to the teeth.
Under the crushing of absolute strength, any resistance is futile.
Zhong Jixiang just ordered to bring more than a dozen Shenwei general cannons, and launched a wanton bombardment at the enemy's entrenched fortress from a distance, with no intention of attacking in close quarters at all.
The result is obviously obvious, but after ten rounds of artillery fire, this Westerner fortress has been completely destroyed, and there is not even any living mouth left, which can be described as an extremely aggrieved death.
Easily took the enemy's entrenched Baisha Island, Zhong Jixiang left a team of 1,000 people to clean up the battlefield, and led the remaining soldiers to the nearby islands, all the way to clear the past.
Wu Xilin, chief of the general staff of the East China Sea Fleet, led another 10,000-strong brigade of the Royal Marine Brigade to storm the famous "Wind Cabinet" fortress on Penghu Island.
This medium-sized fortress carefully built by Westerners could not withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of the Royal Marines' thirty Shenwei General cannons.
Wu Xilin loved the officers and men of the Royal Navy more than Zhong Jixiang, and he had no intention of charging and attacking the other party at all, but just ordered the soldiers not to destroy the enemy's fortress and not to stop the shelling.
That is, after more than a dozen rounds of shelling, this fairly strong medium-sized fortress was still destroyed by the indiscriminate bombardment of Kamui's artillery.
And then?
Then there are the two thousand Royal Marines who easily clean up and clean up the battlefield.
In the successive battles, it took a whole day for the Penghu Islands, which have many islands and dense reefs, to finally be cleaned up and controlled by 90,000 officers and men of the Royal Navy.
This battle to recover the Penghu Islands was too easy, and the enemy was too weak.
Perhaps, it is appropriate to describe it as killing chickens with a knife.
At the request of His Majesty the Emperor, the Grand Fleet continued to rest here for the night, and set out for the morrow morning on the southern tip of the Dutch island.
It was already dusk, and all the large fleets had entered Penghu Bay and anchored, and the soldiers immediately hurried to work.
Now all the living people in the Penghu Islands, whether they are pirates or fishermen, have gathered here, formed a royal building brigade, and began to urgently build a large port and a port city in the bay east of Penghu Island.
The geographical location of Penghu Bay is very good, enough to accommodate a large port and a large port city.
Now there are less than 10,000 people gathered here, and the construction speed here is not fast at all.
It is conservatively estimated that under the command and leadership of 100 master craftsmen who came with the army, it will take at least three months to complete the construction of this large port, which was named Longmen Port by Zhu Youxiao, and the supporting big city.
