Chapter 208: The Dutch's Decision
After Qiu Sen left 10,000 sailors in Huai'an, he also returned to the Penghu Islands with the main force.
Knowing that the First Fleet had returned to the division, Zhou Li also immediately went to the dock to greet him.
"Hey, the lord didn't come back?" Zhou Li asked disappointedly!
Qiu Sen smiled: "Hehe, I thought Commander Zhou was here to greet this seat!" ”
Zhou Li shook his head: "Okay, don't rub it off, what is the lord's order?" ”
Qiu Sen shook his head and said nothing, he was not in a hurry, how could he speak without drinking tea!
"Let's go, this banquet is cheap for you!" Zhou Li sighed regretfully! The delicacies of the mountains and seas prepared for the Lord's horror can only be cheap Qiu Sen!
After eating and drinking, Qiu Sen also said: "The lord ordered me to recover Half Moon Island, and the East China Sea Division borrowed my marines and giant snakes enough. ”
Zhou Li smiled lightly and shook his head: "Commander Qiu is still ready to escort the displaced people!" There is no longer a fleet in Yuenan Bay, and the East China Sea Fleet of the Three Thousand Seas is enough to be destroyed! ”
Qiu Sen immediately disliked: "Commander Zhou is not kind!" After that, this seat will return to Guangzhou, and it will be difficult to fight! ”
"This! So be it! Let's go together! The main force is the First Fleet! Zhou Li frowned, he couldn't offend Commander Qiu too much, and that could only be the case!
"Haha! This seat is the first to do it! Qiu Sen was overjoyed.
The Han army is all: generals and sailors take turns to be on duty to rest, and today is Zhou Li's rest day, so he doesn't violate the order if he drinks casually! As long as it is not wartime, the Han army will take four days off a month, and all the soldiers will take turns to rest!
Shi Kefa traveled all the way to Yancheng and finally arrived in Yancheng, and the soldiers escorting him did not dare to blow! This is the new minister of the Han King, and they dare not be rude even if they are the pro-army of the Son of Heaven!
The battle flag of the Han King in Yancheng is still fluttering high, and Shi Kefa is full of emotions! After all, we still have to face it! Nanjing thinks that he has betrayed the Ming Dynasty, and his family must surrender to the Manchus! Otherwise, there is no place for it!
"Tired report, Lingnan step political envoy Shi Kefa~"
Boom~~ The iron rider is rolling forward! The Son of Heaven's guards were startled and immediately couldn't help but retreat!
Shi Kefa smiled inexplicably, he had already seen his old friend!
Wow Wow~~ Hundreds of war horses slowly stopped, and Chen Xiong was overjoyed and immediately smiled and said: "Dao Lingong, you can let the lonely wait!" ”
King Han appeared, and the idle people and others at the city gate were immediately emptied!
Shi Kefa saw Chen Xiong's sincere eyes again, and he couldn't complain!
"Meet King Han! I'm tired of King Han in the future! Shi Kefa, who dismounted, bowed deeply, and he will rely on King Han to eat in the future!
Chen Xiong immediately jumped down and held Shi Kefa's arm! He said excitedly: "I am not alone when I have to meet the governor of Jiangbei!" Please don't blame the lonely man for not knowing! ”
deceived Shi Kefa, Chen Xiong was also a last resort!
Ay! Shi Kefa was inexplicably shocked, and Jun still treated him like a national soldier!
"Let's go, let's go into town! Don't get drunk today! Chen Xiong immediately pulled the stunned Shi Kefa into the carriage, which he had prepared in advance.
After knowing that Shi Kefa left Yangzhou, the three squads of iron guards have been following and protecting them near them!
As soon as he arrived at the Admiral's Palace, Qiao Ting was already waiting at the door.
"Don't blame the humble house! There is a labor inspector to rest in the house first! ”
Shi Kefa also naturally knew the name of the Confucian generals in Huainan. "An dare, harass Admiral Joe!"
He didn't blame the family for taking refuge in the Manchus, but he couldn't be too enthusiastic.
"Okay, Qiao Ting let the food be served, and Lone's lunch was deliberately left at this time!" After waiting for Shi Kefa for more than half an hour, Chen Xiong was also a little hungry!
"It's the lord!" Qiao Ting immediately ordered the butler to serve the food.
As soon as he took his seat, Chen Xiong took a big bite of the meat, really looking hungry! Shi Kefa's heart is in turmoil, and the soldier serves those who respect himself! Maybe it is God's arrangement to take refuge in King Han!
"Inspector for two years! Much thinner! Chen Xiong toasted again, and the high-ranking officials of Nanming could also enter Shi Kefa's eyes.
"The past is unbearable! But the demeanor of King Han is still more prosperous! "Although the young Han Wang is much more mature and stable, he still has that young face! The domineering spirit and sword intent on the body are also becoming more and more real.
It was difficult for Qiao Ting to interject, so he quietly became a drinking listener.
After being full of wine and food, Shi Kefa couldn't help but ask: "The return of the Han King to the south is smooth, and now it is also in full swing!" Can you tell me about the ambition of the Han King? ”
Shi Kefa and Qiao Ting both looked at King Han eagerly, they wanted to know what King Han was saying, and they hoped to know where the Han army would go in the future!
Chen Xiong did not hide it, and immediately said: "When natural disasters and man-made disasters come, the heavens and the earth shake the world like a prison!" Divide and combine up and down! This is the solidity of the reincarnation of luck! If the world is peaceful, I, Chen Xiong, only wish to open up the territory and expand the territory to protect the people! However, the number is exhausted, the rise and fall of the people are suffering, although the lonely household is weak, and does not want the Han people to sink! If you lose your place, you will take it. The Tartars have offended my Han people, and they will be slaughtered! By the summer of the year after next at the latest, the Han army will go north in an all-round way! ”
King Han is determined to be in the world, Qiao Ting is finally relieved! He was afraid that the King of Han would only care about the southern kingdom and ignore the Central Plains!
Shi Kefa sighed slightly! Da Ming is really exhausted!
On this day, Shi Kefa, Qiao Ting, and Chen Xiong were drunk like mud, even if Chen Xiong was physically strong, he was drunk by the somewhat crazy Shi Kefa!
Shi Kefa resented the King of Han, and this time was also the last time he was drunk! In the future, he will only stop in moderation!
With the addition of Shi Kefa, Chen Xiong immediately handed over the civil affairs of Yancheng in Huai'an to him, and he could fish on the beach with peace of mind.
After Zhang Shou and Wu Li recovered from their injuries, he could leave with peace of mind. After all, there are enemies all around: there are 300,000 Ming troops in Yangzhou, 400,000 Qing soldiers in the west, and 300,000 infantry cavalry troops in Xuzhou!
However, the armies of all walks of life did not dare to move lightly, and the invincible prestige of the Han army made the million-strong army only dare to defend it!
……
Qiu Sen only rested for one day, and on the second day, Penghu sent a total of 40,000 sailors to the battle!
And the Dutch East India Company is already out of arms! The Netherlands are small and the world is so vast that they can't send reinforcements anymore! The Far Eastern Fleet was wiped out, and even the Netherlands mainland has not received news so far.
"Ladies and gentlemen! What to do: The Han army will come tomorrow! Governor Aoiichi said worriedly!
The civilians' eyes flickered, they actually wanted to leave Half Moon Island immediately! But the directors of the company did not agree to their request at all!
The East India Company built a city and a fortress on Moon Island, and invested a lot of money! How could the board of directors be willing to give up the two cities of Moon Bay! Even if they all die in battle, they can let the Han army know that they Dutch are not easy to mess with!
Even the captain of the army was worried, the fortification of Ao Island was not inferior to the two castles in Moon Bay, but the last one was easily broken by the Han army! In fact, they don't have much faith either!
Governor Aoiichi has already prepared a ship on the east coast, and he has also received a secret order from the board of directors!
Most of the Dutch who remained in the two forts of Moon Bay today are soldiers, and the rest of the merchants or relatives have also been evacuated!
The East India Colonial Company knew that Moon Island could no longer be defended, and the entire company could not defeat the Han Army's sailors! But they can't run away without a fight, and if they admit that the future is even more difficult to hold: the interests of the South and Indian Oceans! Only by making the Han army pay the price, they did not dare to despise the Dutch!
"Okay, everyone, be quiet!"
As soon as everyone was quiet, the Governor immediately said: "The board of directors has communicated with the Governor of Manila, as long as you hold on for a while, the combined fleet will come to negotiate with the Han army!" ”
"Okay, great!" The Administrator was immediately overjoyed!
There were reinforcements, and several captains were relieved.
Major Nika immediately said confidently: "The Governor Yuewan artillery group is enough to repel the big ships of the Han army, even if they attack at night with small boats, it is difficult to shake the fortress if the number is too small!" ”
Governor Aoiichi smiled and nodded: "Three thousand soldiers are divided into three shifts on duty, especially at night!" There must be no defeat on the island! ”
"Honorable Order!"
After everyone left, Governor Aoi looked at the map of the four seas silently! If you keep it for a long time, you will lose! If the Han army insists on capturing Moon Bay, they won't be able to hold it for long! After all, the Han army has more artillery, and its power is not weak!
