In Jialuo Village, a large group of volunteers are preparing for war. Although the Zheng family used a small boat to bypass Tainan, drew a large circle, and entered the Errenxi area from further south, and transported a lot of knives, guns and guns for Guo Huaiyi, but the musket powder projectiles were just that, and the artillery was all small cannons such as tiger squat guns and small Fulong machine guns.

The Dutch want to send troops and horses to suppress it, and it is absolutely impossible to win the battle.

Therefore, a large number of women, children and elderly people are moving to the Ganggang area of Errenxi, and when it comes to the critical moment, they cross Errenxi to Ouwang and Dahu. The volunteers will also retreat there when necessary, and with the topography there, as well as Errenxi, they can support it for a few days.

But it's all when necessary.

Guo Huaiyi is clear about his responsibilities.

The reason why Zheng Zhilong contacted him and gave him the title of "Daonan Fu" was not only to appease a large number of Han people in Daonan, but there was no need to greet him at all. After the Zheng army defeated the Dutch, they were naturally the people of the Zheng family.

This is even more to take him by surprise, before the Zheng army's soldiers press, first engage in red hair, weaken the existing military strength of the Dutch. so as to lighten the burden of future wars.

In this war between the Netherlands, Zheng Zhilong already had his own plan in mind.

You don't need to fight too fast and too quickly, why are you in a hurry to free your hands? Do you want to save Emperor Chongzhen's field? Not necessarily.

Now Li Zicheng had just killed Luo Rucai, the leader of the peasant army with whom he had joined the army, and He Yilong of the 5th Battalion of Gezuo, and was now busy with Annei.

Zhang Xianzhong Ke Wuchang established the "Daxi" regime, and the soldiers had already transferred to Sichuan and Shu.

Emperor Chongzhen was busy with three things in the military after the Qing troops left the customs, while organizing forces to defend Gyeonggi, on the other hand, he asked Hong Chengchou to clear the Central Plains, attack southwest Henan, and then ask Sun Chuanting to organize the Qin army.

Although the Beijing camp was severely hit by the introduction of the plague, the latter two are still going according to plan.

Li Zicheng is also busy with his own affairs, and the whole situation is relatively calm, which belongs to the tranquility before the storm. What is Zheng Zhilong going to mix for?

However, it is true that the fight against red hair will take some time, but it does not mean that the entire process of the war is slow.

- Be fast first and then slow.

"Fast" means to use the fastest speed to take down all the Dutch forts and turf outside the castle of Geranza. "Slow" is not in a hurry to fight hard against the Geranza and the Dutch navy, besiege the city, and consume the Dutch.

Even the battle at sea, Zheng Zhilong entrusted it to Zheng Hongkui, and he had to act steadily and see the opportunity before making a move.

As long as Zheng Zhilong's progress on land goes well, the Dutch will be in a hurry to strike first.

Jialuo Village is not far from Chichi Town and Heliao Port, and once Guo Huaiyi gets into trouble, the Dutch will soon hear about it. Moreover, the Zheng army has not yet arrived, so if they don't take advantage of the current opportunity to kill Guo Huaiyi, a 'traitor', and ruthlessly suppress a wave of Han people in the south of the island, and take the opportunity to collect a large amount of new grain and fill it into the castle of Geranza, the Dutchman's brains will be full of wind and water!

They are clearly not that stupid.

And what about Guo Huaiyi? The fighting power of his men did not give rise to hope.

Although Zheng Zhilong sent some guns and cannons and 200 new soldiers, these volunteers that Guo Huaiyi was able to summon were the purest peasants, and no matter how bold they were, their combat quality was also poor.

In addition, the preparation time is very short, and no matter how soon you hurry up to practice, it is impossible for those volunteers to skillfully control the guns in a short period of time.

Therefore, the main force of the volunteers in the south of the island was the 200 Lu New Army that arrived with the guns.

In addition, grenades, a simple and practical weapon, also became an important choice for the volunteers, including some shield carts and a large number of sharpened bamboos.

The former was used to fend off the guns of the Dutch soldiers, and the latter was used as cold weapons, at least they could be used against the aborigines.

The Dutch united with the aborigines against the Han Chinese, a trick used by Europeans in the South Seas. The main reason why it is not so handy in this place is that the number of aborigines on the island is too small.

However, even if the number is small, the Sirayas and Makadao can easily make up one or two thousand strong men. Although the equipment and quality of these people are as poor, but the big brother Hermes-epitek in the south of the island should not laugh at the second brother, okay? In contrast, the indigenous people living in the mountainous areas are more qualified.

As long as the Dutch can get a reward, the two tribes will definitely participate.

In fact, Paul sent for them a promise that for every one of the natives killed, they would be rewarded with a piece of cotton cloth, and nearly 2,000 men were drawn from both tribes. The Dutch who were dispatched from Heliao Port, as well as some Han and black slaves who were brought in by the Dutch, an army of 3,000 people was already formed.

Instead, the Dutch left their newly formed Chinese security team at Heliao Harbor. Most of the latter are Chinese in Dayuanzhen, they are not very old, they have been under the rule of the Dutch since they were young, they are already familiar with the social stratification and this kind of life under the rule of the Dutch, and they all believe in Western religion.

These people are still more trusting of the Dutch, so they can unite the remaining Dutch soldiers and stay in Heliao Port together.

No one hid the movements on both sides, and Guo Huaiyi was quickly alerted. The Dutch are rallying the aborigines.

But he couldn't make a quick attack, capture Chichi, and kill Benheliao Port, because his volunteers had not yet been gathered, let alone ready for battle. And the 200-meter name Zheng's new army is the hole card in his hand, and it is not yet time to show it.

And he also has a complete plan, "Do you see those mounds?" Lao Tzu bet all the treasures there. As long as it goes well, this shield car will not be used at all. ”

Guo Huaiyi said to He Bin and Zheng Lian with great confidence.

In this way, it was not until waves of aborigines gathered in Heliao Port that the volunteers on Guo Huaiyi's side were completely mobilized.

The total strength is close to four thousand!

"Brothers, when we quit the rivers and lakes and came to live in the south of the island, we wanted a stable life. But the current situation makes people, and Zheng Yiguan's army is overwhelmed, and he is determined to drive out the red hair. When we pick up the knives and guns again, although we are forced to be helpless and involuntarily, it is also the most in our interests. I don't need to say more nonsense, everyone has a scale in their hearts, and they all know the weight. ”

Guo Huaiyi's gaze skimmed over the faces of his younger brother Guo Baoyu, Luo Kequan, Wu Hualong and others.

This was a meeting between their small groups, Zheng Lian and He Bin were not present, and Guo Huaiyi didn't need to hide his clichés.

Everyone nodded, understanding the time of day.

"Sixteen years since the first official brother descended to the Ming Dynasty, the chief military officer of Fujian Province, the king of the Fujian Sea, and the famous general of the anti-Qing Dynasty, he has really done a great thing. However, the current Central Plains is unstable, the situation in the court is unstable, Brother Zheng has a big heart and high ambitions, and no one can say how far he can go in the future. ”

Guo Huaiyi has already raised troops, and He Bin has already publicly rebelled, so at this time, they can rest assured, and there is no need to continue to hide some things.

Guo Huai's words have not been thoroughly explained, but everyone here is not a fool, and their ambitions are extremely high, what kind of ambition is called 'extremely high', who still doesn't understand it? His face couldn't help but change greatly.

"But whether or not he can accomplish great things in the north, just talk about this Dayuan Island. If you think about it, thousands of miles in circumference, fertile fields, fertile water and soil, nourishing millions of people, and even connecting to the ocean and the sea, there are endless material exchanges, which is enough to compete with China. "What the Zheng family's sailor is, everyone here knows it.

"If you advance, you can fight and recover the land of the Central Plains, and if you retreat, you can defend without internal worries."

"If the Dutch are driven out, the next step for the Zheng family will be to set up a state county on the island and establish a new system. In the future, the Central Plains will not be able to do anything, and it will be able to retreat to the next best, without losing the respect of overseas princes. ”

Guo Huaiyi is saying that the future of the Zheng family is very bright and broad.

"I have been ordered by the eldest brother of an official to appease the South Road, you follow me to cause trouble, naturally you will also make meritorious deeds, and after sweeping the lotus in the future, you will be rewarded. But how can this little merit allow you to gain a foothold in the Zheng clan? Under Hongmao's hands, we can only be the head of the village at the most, but under the Zheng family, we have a real future. ”

To put it simply, Guo Huaiyi has been stirred by Zheng Zhilong's paintings and promises, and his heart has increased greatly.

He is no longer satisfied with being a rich man in the south of the island, but has bigger and higher ambitions.

is no longer helpless to follow the Zheng family for 'self-preservation', but has a more ardent heart. This initiative has skyrocketed.

This is forced by the situation, Zheng Zhilong's army is going south, and Guo Huai has repeatedly wanted to live a stable life. It is also due to the current situation, the opportunities are already in front of him, and Guo Huaiyi is unwilling to miss it.

"Wait, but there is still Yu Yong, are you willing to fight to the death with me?"

Guo Huai's eyes were full of scorching heat. Several people present were also very excited, and it could be seen from Guo Huaiyi's eyes that none of them had any fear.

"Big brother, don't worry. I wrote all the suicide notes. Zheng Longtou has supported so many guns and gunpowder powder, and there are 200 strong men, we can't weaken our prestige. ”

"The red hair pulled up the aborigines, and it was only a team of 3,000 people, and our brothers had 4,000 people, so I don't think the red hair will win us."

"They all carry a head on their shoulders, who is better than whom? Lao Tzu went down with a knife, and he still wanted their lives! ”

……

The next evening. On a mound outside the village of Jialuo. Guo Huaiyi, He Bin, and Zheng Lian held binoculars and looked ahead.

Hundreds of Dutch soldiers and more than 2,000 Turkish-Han-black coalition troops gradually appeared in their eyes from far to near.

Since Guo Huai rose up, the first war between the two sides came.

"Yo, I really brought some small cannons."

Guo Huaiyi's face showed a confident look, what about the Dutch bringing artillery? With just a few small cannons, can you still bombard the mound?

"Passing on my military orders, all the battles are based on military law. Anyone who dares to retreat arrogantly, who dares to make loud noises, who dares to disrupt the order in the army, who dares to confuse the public with rumors, and who shakes the morale of the army, will be decided-" Guo Huaiyi was murderous.
