The Seagull is a standard Galen ship, with a standard triangular mast arrangement of the front and two at the back, and the main mast of the front mast stops immediately after it breaks. A battleship becomes immobile in the heat of a naval battle, and such a result is no less than a disaster.

"All of them...... Kill that immobile shuffle! ”

"Sink it!"

"Fire!" "Fire!"

In less than a minute, the "Seagull" was hit by more than 30 shells, and the heavy iron pellets with tremendous energy and speed smashed the "Seagull" to a thousand holes, and a large amount of river water began to pour into the cabin, and soon the hull of the "Seabird" began to tilt.

"Major Kleo, the Seagull is no more!" Captain Taylor's anxious voice rang in Keleo's ears.

"I know!" Kellero's teeth were gritted loudly, the development of the battle situation was too unexpected for him, "Retreat, fire while retreating, you can't cheap these dogs 0 mothers." Enraged, Kelleo completely discarded his aristocratic demeanor and burst into foul language.

In this situation, Kellero knew that there was little hope of defeating the enemy on the shore. The enemy has a large number of muskets, and his own forces are insufficient, even landing will not help.

"Understood!"

Captain Taylor sighed secretly in his heart, saluted and left ......!

After a five-day voyage, the Tiance Navy Fleet arrived in Tamsui, Taiwan, together with the migrant fleet. The speed of the naval fleet is long because of the drag of mobile cargo ships.

The settlement point in the Tamsui area is temporarily set up on the north bank of the Tamsui River, and the south bank of the Tamsui River will be developed after the opening of navigable ferries and the construction of bridges.

The starting point city provided the migrants with necessary construction tools, agricultural tools, as well as food and other daily necessities, and the civil affairs department divided the residential land and cultivated land for the migrants, and the resettlement points began to be distributed on the north bank of the Tamsui River.

At present, there are only seven or eight hundred cattle, which is seriously insufficient, and in order to speed up the cultivation of land, the starting point city will then put in tractors to help the migrants plough the land.

The Tamsui area was not developed during the Dutch period, even in the Zheng Ming period, so it has been sparsely populated, and the forestry resources are very rich. As a result of extensive deforestation, the land will be used for arable land in the future.

Abundant food supplies, large swaths of borderless land will be their own, and anticipation for the future have made the mood of the migrants relatively stable.

"What? Spaniards have been here? As soon as Wang Yue got off the boat, he received news that three of the Spaniards' warships had visited the Tamsui River and had fought a battle with the remaining security forces.

Xie Lin, the commander of the 2nd Regiment of the Security Army, reported: "Yes commander, we fired a warning shot, and then an artillery battle ensued with our troops, and finally one was sunk, and the other two ships were wounded and fled. After the war, we captured eleven Spaniards who had fallen into the river, and because of the language barrier, they were temporarily detained. ”

Most of the soldiers of the security forces are from Shuntianfu, and they will be stationed in Taiwan for two years before changing their guards.

Not all Europeans came to Asia to speak the local language, so the security forces caught the Spaniards and did not ask for any useful information due to the language barrier.

Wang Yue asked, "What are the casualties of our army?" ”

Xie Lin said: "Seven people were killed, four were wounded, and one artillery piece was destroyed!" ”

"The list of the fallen soldiers was reported to the Tiance Army Headquarters, and the seriously wounded were sent to the Navy Medical Team for treatment." Wang Yue's eyes had already flashed with anger: "Escort those prisoners to the landing ship, and I will let them be interrogated." ”

"Yes!"

Wang Yue's full-time translator is Lisa, and the former Dutch captain and current landing ship navigator Derant can also act as an interpreter. The original European sailors, after a year of language training by Lisa, had also learned simple Chinese conversations. In addition, Zhang Han, the original translator of the army, has officially joined the Tiance Army and has become a full-time translator of the Nanyang Fleet.

In Wang Yue's impression, there were only Dutch people on the island of Taiwan, which was mainly influenced by the history of Zheng Chenggong who recovered Taiwan and fought against the Dutch.

After interrogation, he learned that the Spanish came to Taiwan earlier than the Dutch, and that the territory had shrunk due to poor management.

He has limited energy alone, and there are many kinds of information that need to be consulted, and negligence is inevitable.

The Spanish power was finally driven out by the Dutch four years later, but there are still castles built by the Spaniards in Keelung, with a total strength of more than 1,200 men and fifteen warships, including two Spanish galleons.

Spain is an old empire, and the Age of Discovery began with Spain and Portugal.

In fact, Portugal and Spain are now part of the Iberian Union, as if they were one country, because they once had the same king. But Portugal has always sought independence, and there are many contradictions between the two countries.

Spain was the first empire on the planet on which the sun never sets, with colonies all over the world, but now it has gone downhill and is no match for the Dutch anywhere in the world.

After listening to the results of the interrogation, Wang Yue summoned all the officers to a meeting in the conference room of the landing ship.

Present at the meeting were Zhuang Suwen, commander of the Nanyang Fleet, Feng Yuanshan, commander of the Fifth Regiment, and other officers at and above the battalion level, as well as officers from the first and second regiments of the Public Security Army. In addition, there are also relevant personnel sent by the Civil Affairs Department to Taiwan to take charge of immigration affairs, and the person in charge is named He Bin, who was originally a victim of the disaster in Shanxi, and later engaged in civil affairs work for a long time with Minister of Civil Affairs Wang Binghan.

When Wang Yue came in, everyone was talking to each other, and as soon as he entered the conference room, there was silence for an instant, and everyone immediately saluted.

"Alright, sit down."

Wang Yue walked to the first seat and waved his hand, and then sat down. He first glanced around at everyone with a blazing gaze and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, you should have heard that our settlement was attacked by Spanish warships, causing seven dead and four wounded by our security forces. This shows how arrogant these Europeans are. ”

Feng Yuanshan said: "I heard that Keelung only has more than 1,200 troops of Spanish ghosts, so the commander will hand them over to my fifth regiment." ”

Wang Yue smiled and said, "The strength of the Spaniards is indeed not worth mentioning, and this time I summoned you to a meeting not just to talk about a Spaniard. ”

"In order to ensure that migrants can live and produce normally, all threats on the island of Taiwan must be removed. There are two hostile forces on the surface, namely the Spaniards in the north of Taiwan and the Dutch in the south, and these two forces will be the targets of our attack in the near future. ”
