According to Chen Jinnan's previously drawn up battle line, if we want to quietly land on the main island of Taiwan, we must first take down the military stronghold of the Dutch on the Penghu Islands.

The most important reason for taking the Penghu military stronghold is to prevent the Dutch on the Penghu Islands from coming to counterattack after occupying the main island of Taiwan.

So the army set out along Xiamen, bypassed Kinmen, and arrived at the Penghu Islands the next night.

Standing in the night, I saw from a distance the sparse candle flame on Penghu Island, and a group of Dutch people were singing and dancing on the beach, playing happily.

Seeing this, Zheng Chenggong and others prepared to launch a strong attack. It is said that according to our current strength, we can eat the two hundred Dutch on Penghu in one go.

But I vetoed this tactic, and there were two reasons why I vetoed it.

First: Although there are few Dutch on Penghu Island, they are not without resistance. The assault can indeed be won, but it will come at a cost, buddy doesn't want any soldier to die, and now is not the time to sacrifice.

Second: If they attack now, the Dutch commander on the island will definitely send someone to go to sea overnight to inform the Dutch commander on the island of Taiwan. Once the Dutch commander knew that we were going to attack the island of Taiwan, he would inevitably prepare fortifications in advance. In this way, even if we take Penghu, when we reach the main island of Taiwan, we will inevitably encounter stubborn resistance.

In view of this, I ordered the ship to be detoured back to the sandy beach that the Dutch guards could not see.

The reason why he had to go back to the back of the beach was actually to catch him off guard.

In this way, the army spent an hour and finally went around to the back of the beach.

Immediately I gave an order, Zheng Chenggong and Chen Jinnan quietly landed on the island with 3,000 commandos.

At the same time, I personally led 20 warships back to the front of the beach, while the other warships formed a line and surrounded the Penghu Islands.

The reason why I did this was to prevent someone from slipping away to report the news when the two sides fought fiercely.

By the time I got to the beach, the island was already full of murderous noises, and the Dutch were caught off guard by Zheng Chenggong's men, and some women ran out without even wearing clothes.

At this moment, several Dutch officers who wanted to run to the main island of Taiwan to deliver a letter came towards the beach.

When they were about to sail into the sea, Lao Tzu took advantage of the night to cut off the head of one of the fellows to the ground.

"Ahh Who are you? The Dutchman asked in broken Chinese.

"It's your grandfather Chongzhen!"

After saying that, with a wave of my long knife, the soldiers on the battleship rushed down and directly blocked all the outlets to the sea.

In this way, the Dutch on Penghu Island were like turtles in an urn, surrounded by Zheng Chenggong and others, and there was no chance of escape.

I wanted to forgive those Dutch women, but the people of the Zheng family sailors didn't want to at all, because since the Dutch landed in Taiwan, the Zheng family's flag has not been used at sea, so they hate the Dutch to the core.

In less than half an hour, the Dutch on the island were slaughtered by the Zheng family's sailors.

After killing these Dutch ghosts, the soldiers were exhausted, so Zheng Chenggong ordered the army to rest in Penghu for a while, preparing to attack the island of Taiwan early tomorrow morning.

However, it was a fucked thing, and when I woke up early the next morning, there was a typhoon on the island.

The Zheng family sailors have been crisscrossing the sea all year round, and after seeing the typhoon, they all feel that they can't go to sea easily.

Because this typhoon is so big, there is no safety guarantee at all when going to sea.

After listening to their opinions, I felt that it was not too late to wait for the typhoon to pass, so I asked the soldiers to recuperate and rest on the island and set off after the typhoon had passed.

At noon on this day, buddy, I was studying the map of the attack on Taiwan in the room, Chen Jinnan suddenly ran in, handed me a piece of parchment full of English, and then said: "Your Majesty, the villain found a letter on the body of the Dutch ghost, but the villain can't understand these foreign languages, and ask the emperor to take a look." ”

Dude, I didn't learn very well before, but I can still understand basic English.

I took the parchment and looked at it, and it was a Dutch letter, and it was written in the place where it was written the Military Council of the Dutch East India Company in Java.

In the text of the letter, the Dutchman wrote: "The Batavia headquarters has received your letter, and I ask General Quay to rest assured that we have decided to exclude an army of 10,000 men to help you deal with the Taiwan question." May the Lord bless you, Amen! ”

After seeing this letter, the buddy was shocked.

It's easy to see why it makes me so surprised.

According to historical records, the Dutch colonized Asia mainly in two places, one was the treasure island of Taiwan, and the other was Java, which is now Indonesia.

In these two colonies, there are actually not many soldiers on the island of Taiwan, only 6,000 people; And in Batavia, Indonesia, there are 50,000 well-equipped Dutchmen at the headquarters.

Although I don't know if the Taiwan issue mentioned in this letter is aimed at our attack, I have to worry after I see that they sent 10,000 people.

Thinking of this, I immediately called Zheng Chenggong over and asked him to reorganize the army and set off for Taiwan immediately.

Zheng Gongcheng was frightened when he heard this, and said to me: "Your Majesty, this typhoon has not passed yet, if you go to sea in a hurry, I'm afraid it will not be good!" ”

Of course, buddy, I know that going to sea now will be a problem, but if I don't go to sea now, once the Dutch army in Indonesia lands first, it will not be so easy for me to easily take Taiwan.

You must know that the historical books clearly record that the weapons and equipment of the Dutch are much higher than those of the Ming Dynasty and other countries in Southeast Asia.

It was precisely because of the advanced weapons in their hands that tens of thousands of Dutch people were able to rule half of Southeast Asia for nearly 400 years, until 1945.

I saw that Zheng Chenggong was puzzled, so I read the contents of the sheepskin to him.

After he listened, I said: "Xiao Zheng, you have told me many times that the Zheng family's sailors are invincible across the sea, is this little wind and waves scared you now?" ”

What I'm saying here is completely agitation, because only in this way will Zheng Chenggong let his subordinates forcibly go to sea.

Of course, I am not unaware of the consequences of forcibly going to sea in this way, but now I have no choice but to rush to the beach and land.

Zheng Chenggong is a young man after all, and after hearing my words, he slapped the table and said: "Of course my Zheng family sailor is not afraid of these storms!" Please rest assured, the emperor, I will immediately set off with the whole army! ”

After saying that, he ran out quickly, and then quickly put the sailors in order, and then the army braved the thunderous typhoon and embarked on the journey of attacking the main island of Taiwan in the rain.

Although I had seen the power of typhoons on TV before, when I actually entered the sea, I realized that the typhoon in the news was really nothing.

I saw the huge waves on the sea, the ships of the Zheng family sailors were swayed left and right by the big waves, and some soldiers had an unstable center of gravity, and they fell directly into the sea, and in a blink of an eye, people didn't know where they went.

Seeing this, I was so anxious that I thought that I might die on this vast sea.

Perhaps God bless China, just after the army walked in the huge waves for more than an hour, the typhoon suddenly stopped, a huge red sun rose in the sea, and sharks and dolphins jumped out of the water.

Seeing this situation, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and their nervous mood finally calmed down.

Everyone relaxed, but buddy, I did not relax in the slightest, I ordered the army to advance quickly, and be sure to land on the main island of Taiwan before dark.

With my encouragement, the three armies marched forward quickly.

When the sun was about to set, I saw the long-watched treasure island of Taiwan from a distance.

I saw thousands of acres of fertile fields on the island, thousands of miles of fertile fields, and a row of thriving scenes, but it was inaccessible.

And on the sandbar across the water from the main island, a small European Renaissance castle stands impressively, and it seems that it can be taken down without much effort.

If I'm not mistaken, this castle should be recorded in the history books, the military stronghold of the Dutch in Taiwan - Geranza Castle!

After seeing the castle, everyone was excited, and immediately sailed into the Luo'ermen Bay between the main island and the sandbar.

Prepare to land on the beach in the bay, first take the island, and then storm the castle of Geranza.

Less than half an hour after the army entered the bay, suddenly a row of Dutch iron ships sailed over!
