After everyone entered the city, Li Xiao saw that this Changhua City did not build an inner city like the Chifeng City, Tielong City and other cities built before, but only made a simple plan in the city, with the four bluestone avenues of Shiyang, it was divided into four major districts: northeast, southeast, southwest and northwest.

This is because Li Xiao considered that if Taiwan is reunified in the future, a small city like Changhua will be enough to be the main city of a region, so there is no need to build an inner city. In the future, the focus of construction in Taiwan will be to re-plan and design the Chichicheng City and other places occupied by the Dutch, that is, Tainan City in the future.

Because the east gate was not opened, the government offices, schools, and money vaults were all arranged in the northeast district, while the military camps, school yards, and stables were all in the southeast district, and large warehouses filled with all kinds of commercial goods were located in the northwest district, while the southwest district was all kinds of houses, hotels, restaurants and other civilian residences.

The layout of Changhua City is quite satisfactory to Li Xiao's heart. After taking a turn in the city, Li Xiao followed Ding You and others to the official office, where Ding You had already set up a wine for Li Xiao.

After the banquet, Li Xiao explained in detail to everyone and the Spaniards' battle plan.

This plan is actually very simple, that is, under the premise that the Pingnan battalion now has such a powerful firepower, Li Xiao plans to leave only the Pingnan battalion C sentry soldiers to guard Changhua City after the entire five or six days of rest, and the rest of the Pingnan battalion soldiers will take a boat to the area near Tamsui water, and then the whole army will take Santo Domingo City with a boulder crushing momentum. And Li Xiaojun's sailors sealed the chicken coop harbor and caught turtles in an urn against the six Spanish ships staying inside.

"In Benber's opinion, if the city of Santo Domingo is taken, it will be necessary to capture the Spanish garrison of Taiwan, Francisco. Trier's words, then, our army can use the lives of the Spanish garrison officer Trier, and the Spanish soldiers and civilians of the whole city, to force the Spanish fleet in the port of chicken coop to surrender to our army, if these Spanish ships are obtained, it will be of great benefit to the further development and growth of our naval division. ”

Li Xiao's words made the participants nod their heads.

At this time, Ma Huaxing, the deputy head of the colonization group, sighed: "In the past, the adults have always hated the Spaniards to the core, and wanted to avenge the Chinese who died in the Manila massacre, but I didn't expect that this time I would let them go." ”

Li Xiao sneered: "It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. The seizure of Taipei this time is only a small goal, so it is better not to provoke these Spaniards too much, so as not to add resistance to our army's future attack on the Luzon Islands. When our army has captured Luzon and completely eliminated the Spaniards' base camp in the South Seas, this officer will teach them how to show me! ”

After Li Xiao finished speaking, Li Dingguo on the side also said with a smile: "Chi Fengbo said very much, if you want to take it, you must first deal with it, or wait for our army to take Luzon, and then settle a general account with these Spaniards!" ”

Six days later, the soldiers of the Pingnan Battalion, who had attacked Taipei, were all fully equipped and boarded the ship and set off.

Li Wanqing, the former Liukou general who served as the deputy commander of the Pingnan Battalion's C outpost, the former Liukou general, nicknamed the Collapse of the Sky, looked regretful and sighed that he had not been selected for this expedition.

At this time, Li Xiao solemnly told him that it was also extremely important to defend the city of Changhua and strictly prevent the Dutch from taking the opportunity to attack in Tainan, but it was no easier than attacking Taipei. After all, this Changhua City and central Taiwan have millions of immigrants and millions of acres of fertile land, which is the core area of Li Xiaojun, and there is no room for loss.

Li Wanqing was reprimanded by Li Xiao before he dared to complain again.

However, Li Xiao also told him that this time to attack the Spaniards, because the Spaniards are too small in number, so there may not be any big battles to be fought, or when the next time he attacks the Netherlands in Tainan, he will definitely let Li Wanqing be the main vanguard.

After listening to Li Xiao's assurance, Li Wanqing turned his worries into joy, and suddenly looked expectant.

On this day, the sky over the Taiwan Strait was rough, clouds were rolling, and the atmosphere was very solemn. However, all the Li Xiao soldiers who went out on the expedition were full of spirit, with loud military songs and slogans, full of faith and determination to win.

A day later, in the luxurious Latin-style government office in the city of Santo Domingo, the Taiwanese garrison with a long figure, wearing a black tuxedo, a bow tie with intricate patterns, and a black hair combed to shine shiny almost to show the figure. Trier, with a glass of blood-red wine in his hand, reclined against a Gothic windowpost, looking out of the Western-style carved arched window with a sad face, the gray world.

Trier, a distant relative of the current Emperor Philip IV of Spain, had been a nominal royal representative in Manila. Until the middle of last year, due to the retirement of the original Taiwan garrison, he had a good relationship with Manila Governor López, and was recommended by López to succeed him as the Taiwan garrison.

The enthusiastic and ambitious Trier, after taking office here, soon found that he could only waste his time in this place of Taipei.

The reason is simple, that is, there is no money.

There was no money to expand the army, no money to renovate facilities, and no money to even maintain the basic salary of the Spanish soldiers. The indigenous people of the area hated these Spaniards.

Worried, Trier wrote to Manila Governor López many times asking for money, but only received a vague response. Trier was so angry that he even went to Manila to ask for money in person regardless of his royal status, but López took a warm welcome to this distant relative of the royal family but did not ask for money, so that Trier had to return indignantly.

Teshiai is a person who wants to do something big, and such an aggrieved way of messing around makes him extremely uncomfortable. In particular, I heard the news from those Spanish merchants that the Ming people in central Taiwan were growing stronger, and the development of reclaiming wasteland to build cities was a rapid progress, which made Trier feel even more like sitting on pins and needles.

Terrier thought more than once that he should urgently send troops to eliminate these ambitious Ming people and nip these lowly yellow-skinned monkeys in the bud. However, Trier, who was extremely shocked to hear that even the powerful Dutch had been defeated in their invasion of the Ming realm, had no confidence in his own Spanish army, which was short of food and low morale.

Under the premise of lack of financial support, all of Trier's ambitions and plans are just words on paper, clouds in the air, and now, what can he do but watch these Ming people grow and grow?

Thinking of this, Terrier's face welled up with anger, and he slammed his fist on the window railing carved in exquisite relief, and took a sip of the red wine in the glass with a reluctant expression.

This is, the hidden carved arch was gently pushed open, and a pretty and delicate woman's face appeared in the doorway.

This woman is Trier's mistress, Azusena, who has followed her lover all the way since Trier was transferred from Manila to Taiwan.

"Hey, my little sweetheart, don't always look so melancholy. God did not give us life so that we could spend it in sorrow. Look, my dear, is the dress I just ordered beautiful, and I made it for two thousand pesetas. “

Azusena turned to close the door, leaning in with a coquettish twist, and with a gentle twist, she lifted her skirt to show Trier her new ball dress.

Trier put down his glass, a smile on his face, he looked at Azusena in front of him with an admiring gaze, and saw her graceful figure, wearing this extremely fitting dress, showing her slender waist, full breasts, and constantly teasing him with a look of provocative eyes, and his mood couldn't help but feel much better.

He walked over and grabbed her thin waist, but leaned down and kissed her on most of her exposed white breasts: "My Azusena, this dress is so well matched to you. In my opinion, you are the most beautiful woman in all of Spain. You make me crave more than the sunshine of Granada and the red wine of Barcelona. ”

Hearing Trier's sweet and flattering words, Azusena was momentarily confused, she kissed Trier on the cheek, and a jade hand probed into Trier's clothes, and roamed over his chest full of chest hair, while coquettishly saying: "Honey, you should know that I have spent too much this month, and I still have a lot of jewelry to buy." I don't want to disgrace you at a drinking party in Manila next month because I'm not dressed properly. Do you know how much jewelry the wife of Mr. López, the Governor of Manila, bought this month? ”

Trier, who was already teased by the fragrant and hot feminine breath of her body, kissed her breasts back and forth, and replied vaguely: "Don't worry, dear, I will do my best to satisfy you, and I will definitely let you attend the drinking party in style." ”

Azusena saw Trier's acceptance, and her heart was happy, and the two became more and more entangled, and Trier, who was full of lust, picked her up and put her on the sofa.

The two moaned and embraced, Trier hurriedly ripped off Azusena's clothes, looking at the provocative and seductive appearance of the delicate stunner in front of him, Trier quickly took off his clothes, stood tall and rushed forward *****with a low roar, and in the woman's coquettish call, he had just entered the port, and suddenly heard a sharp knock on the door.

"Who?!"

Trier, who was furious by the eager and loud knock on the door, couldn't help but shout at the door.

"Your Excellency the Garrison Officer, it's me, Adjutant Rodriguez, I have an urgent military situation below, and I want to report to Your Excellency the Garrison Officer!" The adjutant outside the door was anxious and eager.

Trier whispered a foul word, slammed his fist on the edge of the couch, and then reluctantly stood up from the soft and seductive Athosena and began to dress in a hurry.

Azusena sat up helplessly and angrily, lazily dressing up while staring angrily at the arch that had been closed by herself, as if she wanted to pierce Rodriguez behind the door with her angry eyes.

In a short time, when the two men were dressed, Trier hurried over and opened the door, and saw the frightened look of the adjutant at a glance.

"Your Excellency the Garrison Officer, something is wrong!"

"What the hell is going on?!"

"Your Excellency, according to the report from the guards of the watchtower, a large number of yellow-skinned monkeys, on thirty warships, have landed on the shores of Tamsui water, the army is extremely well-organized, the infantry, cavalry and artillery are readily available, and they are now rapidly attacking our city of Santo Domingo!"

"Huh?!"

Listening to Rodriguez's words, Trier felt like he had been struck by lightning.

For a moment, his eyes widened and his mouth opened wide, as if his soul had gone out of his body.

"Damn, I knew, I knew! Those Ming people, those lowly and obscene yellow-skinned monkeys, will not stay in central Taiwan in peace, and sooner or later they will attack us. Trier clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth and scolded: "López, this bastard, if he hadn't given financial support, how could my Spanish Taiwan garrison be so oppressed by others!" I'm going to take this impudent bastard to the royal court! ”

Trier roared, but the adjutant Rodriguez urgently said: "Your Excellency, how should our army resist the attack of the Ming people now, please make it clear!" ”

Trier calmed down a little, and as soon as his brown-black eyes rolled, he hurriedly ordered: "The Ming army is suddenly attacking, if our army is scattered, how can we resist this sudden blow from the enemy!" Pass my order and order all the Spanish soldiers who are outside to urgently return to the city of Santo Domingo, hold on to the city, and fight to the death with the Ming army. ”

Rodriguez answered, and was about to leave in a hurry, but Trier called him again: "How many more naval ships are there in Joncoop Harbor now?" ”

"Your Excellency, there are six more, one four-masted Galen, three armed light ships, and two armed merchant ships. The other ships were redeployed to the Philippines by His Excellency the Governor of Manila last month to be used against pagan pirates in Mindanao. “

Listening to Rodriguez's words, the fire that jumped in Trier's eyes suddenly went out.

Teshiai originally thought that his own navy would go up the Tamsui River and defend the city of Santo Domingo. But now, the only six ships are useless, and I am afraid that if they only reach the mouth of the Tamsui River, they will be wiped out by as many as thirty Ming army sailors, so let them stay in Jicoop Harbor obediently.

With a wave of his hand, he told Rodriguez to hurry down and give the order, and Rodriguez jumped away like a rabbit.

After more than an hour, the Spanish soldiers in the nearby watchtower had withdrawn, and there were more than 1,000 Spanish soldiers in the entire city of Santo Domingo, and more than 500 familiar servants.

After a short time, the city of Santo Domingo was defended, and Trier, dressed in a dark yellow uniform, wearing a steel helmet and cuirass, and a slender sword at his waist, personally went up to the city wall to inspect it.

"Your Excellency, look, the Ming army has appeared from the south!"

Terrier looked along Rodriguez's raised hand, and saw a long black line pouring out of the southern horizon, rapidly approaching the city of Santo Domingo.

Trier frowned, quickly took out the clairvoyant mirror, wiped it with a silk mirror cloth, and then held it up.

"Oh my God!"

He was suddenly stunned, and he gasped.
