Degao's words were basically equivalent to a declaration of war, and You Rob shook his body to stabilize his mind, and his face turned pale.

As an elder pastor in Taiwan, he has a clear idea of the military power of the Netherlands on the island of Taiwan at the moment.

Although at the beginning of the war between Liu and Zheng, Governor Bolger quickly applied to Batavia for support.

But even so, the Dutch defenders in Tainan are only more than 2,000 at the moment, and the strength of the Luzon army, which intelligence suggests is as high as 10,000, seems to be a little too disparity.

Virtuous above, may you bless your lamb.

You Rob drew a cross on his chest, and while chanting a sentence in his heart, he forced himself to look at You Degao in a gorgeous costume calmly.

"Gao De, Your Excellency, General, I will truthfully convey your words to Commander Bolger, as for how to decide, it will only depend on how he thinks about it."

You Degao showed the characteristics of Luzon as a civilized regime at this moment, he smiled and gently bowed his head to Yu Rob, and made a gesture of invitation with his left hand.

"In that case, General Ben will not be far away."

"That's right", seeing that You Luobo was about to leave, You Degao added casually, "According to the peace agreement between our army and the Zheng family, our army will take over the Han village near Dayuan today, and if the Dutch army blocks it, we will treat it as your side starting a war." ”

"You ......"

Yu Rob's thin figure shook again, his fists squeezed hard, and he walked out of the cabin without saying a word.

"Hahaha, refreshing, there are no tigers in the mountains, the monkey is called the king, I have not boasted of the South China Sea for a long time, and even these Yi people have become bigger, today is just to let them see the power of my heavenly kingdom."

Seeing that You Rob had already gone out, Mao Yuanyi, who followed the counselor in military affairs, laughed loudly.

However, You Degao shook his head with a serious face and said: "The words of the chief soldier are a bit excessive, my second brother has already said that resting on one's laurels and being arrogant will only bring ignorance and backwardness, and now this situation is not a good thing, I am still in Huaxia and self-contained, but Yiren has explored most of the world." ”

"I think my Chinese ancestors were not a corner of the gate thousands of years ago, and after dozens of generations of development, we have today's thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. However, since the Tang Dynasty, our Han people have become increasingly closed, only obsessed with the so-called vast land and resources, and do not know the changes in the world. ”

Mao Yuanyi didn't care about showing off now, and only after a long time did he sigh with emotion: "I never thought that the world was so big, and we are indeed like frogs at the bottom of the well." ”

"That's right, it is precisely because we closed our eyes that we didn't even occupy Southeast Asia at our doorstep, and now, we have been killed by the Yiren."

"Today they can occupy Taiwan, can they use it as a base to attack Shenzhou tomorrow?"

Seeing Mao Yuanyi's contemplation, You Degao woke him up and said: "So my second brother has reminded me many times that the officials and soldiers of my Liu family must not have the heart of contempt for Yiren, although Yiren was enlightened late, but at this time, the mental state of their people is like that of the Spring and Autumn Period of China and the Warring States Period." ”

"Think about it, the chief soldier, can I be a Chinese Chinese who dare to sail all over the sea alone, dare to preach around with a scripture, and dare to dedicate myself to the pursuit of the principle of learning?"

As soon as these words came out, Mao Yuanyi suddenly understood.

He immediately bowed his hand, "Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years, and Mao is taught." ”

"Hahaha, the chief soldier will watch the battle with me." , You Degao laughed and pushed open the door of the captain's cabin and walked out.

Mao Yuanyi shook her head with a smile, and hurriedly followed.

What You Degao said to You Robo before was not a deliberate provocation, but did intend to recover the Han villages in Tainan first.

In this era, the situation on the island of Taiwan is more complicated.

Zheng Zhilong, Yan Siqi and other pirate groups have successively based in Beigang, Taichung, where more than 10,000 Han people gathered, because there was no official force to intervene, basically in the form of villages.

On September 27, five days after the signing of the agreement with the Zheng family, the Luzon fleet had already included the area around North Harbor under its jurisdiction.

On the other hand, in the Tainan area, because of the convenience of planting, the largest number of Han people came here to open up the wasteland, reaching more than 30,000 people, and after the Battle of Liuluo Bay, the Zheng family also had a certain jurisdiction over these Han villages.

Although the Dutch built two castles in Tainan, Geranza and Chichicheng, their jurisdiction was still limited to the local natives they had defeated.

For Han Chinese villages, although there were often Dutch soldiers who went to extort and oppress, they were nominally not owned by the Dutch.

It was not until after the fall of the Ming Dynasty that the Dutch seized the opportunity to forcibly force all Taiwanese Han people to submit and pay poll tax, fishing tax and other taxes, which was the real colonization of Taiwan at this time.

In the Dutch fleet off the coast of Geranza, Bolger and the others fell into anger and madness because of the news brought back by Yurob.

"These damn Luzonians, they don't have the right to do that!"

Bolger was particularly thrilled that if the Luzon had really taken control of all the Han Chinese on the island, it would mean that the Dutch efforts in southern Taiwan would be in vain.

You must know that the two cities of Geranza and Chichi are all surrounded by Han villages, and it will be easy for the Luzon people to turn their faces at that time.

"Sir, please give orders, what are we going to do?" , Dabar, the highest-ranking officer, stepped forward and asked solemnly.

While Bolger was still pondering, "Luzon's fleet began to move toward the Taijiang River," and an exclamation from the lookout prompted him to make up his mind.

"Send envoys to negotiate again, buy us time, all the fleets return to port and hold the bay, if the Luzon insist on taking over the Han villages of Dayuan, then we can only prepare for war."

"Roar"

A shout erupted from the Dutch battleship, and the entire fleet was busy.

Once again, missionary Yu Rob volunteered to sail his boat toward the Luzon fleet, and this time he was again received by You Degao.

It's just that watching the Dutch fleet on the sea begin to retreat, You Degao already understands the Dutch's choice.

With a wave of his hand, he interrupted the gushing Yurob, who had been trying to show that the Dutch had irrefutable power in Taiwan.

"Your Excellency, I think I've made it clear, and it seems that you have made the corresponding choice."

You Degao tugged at the hem of his clothes to make the military uniform look more flatter, "In this case, on behalf of the Luzon General's Mansion, I now declare war on your side, and our army will attack in an hour." ”

Yu Robb's face instantly became very ugly, "It's wrong for you to do this, it's a wrong decision......

"The two countries will fight each other, and they will not be killed", You Degao continued to interrupt him: "Your Excellency, please go back, we will talk about it on the battlefield." ”

Looking at You Degao, whose face was determined, You Rob had no choice but to turn around and return to the dinghy with a worried figure, and swayed towards the city of Geranza in the shaking of the waves.

"All ready, our army will launch an attack on time before the time."

"Whoa"

There was no need for You Degao to make specific arrangements, and the officers at all levels distributed on each battleship began to act according to the previous deployment.

As early as after taking over Beigang, You Degao and others had already realized that it was impossible for the Dutch to surrender directly, so a group of officers had already formulated a detailed combat strategy against the Dutch.

After having lunch on board, the Luzon fleet began to move northeast.

However, to the surprise of the Dutch, the Luzon fleet dropped anchor and stopped directly within a range of five miles.

Watching more than twenty warships slowly line up on the ocean, Bolge and the others, who had returned to the castle, looked at each other.

"What are the Luzon people going to do, aren't they going to land?"

"I suppose they are planning to shell the city of Geranza directly?" , Yu Robb, who had observed the Luzon fleet up close, spoke weakly.

"Boom", "Boom"

The white smoke rising from the side of the Luzon fleet and the roaring sound of artillery fire gave Yurob an affirmative answer.

The Luzon fleet, led by the Sun Wu, was the first to fire.

"Gaude, why is the Luzon artillery so long!"

Burger shouted hysterically, and the veins in his neck were exposed from congestion.

On the walls of the castle, Dabal and Yurob and others were all stunned.

Although there was early information that the Luzons, like the European armies, were proficient in the use of firearms and were armed with a large number of artillery.

But such top-secret information as the range of the Luzon artillery had never been exposed to the eyes of the Europeans, and the Dutch in the city of Geranza sank to the bottom as they watched the white and black clouds rising over the ocean.
