Song Ke was moved to tears, he was bullied by Li Pingzhi these days, and the marching division was all singing in blackface, the food he ate was either too salty or too spicy, and the cooks threw the rice bowl on the table with a black face, and the sleeping place was also tattered...... The Dutch have been on the island for a few days, and the houses on this side of Taiwan are all newly built, and the materials used are very exquisite, and the place where they live is not as good as the pigsty in Tunpu......

I didn't expect this big man of Hutchison to be so kind, and when Song Ke and the others were grateful, the carriage was moving fast, and soon got on the east-west avenue, galloping all the way forward, and when they arrived at the port area, it had become the size of a small beetle.

The army on the ship had already been in position on the sailing boat, and from the distance of Song Ke and the others, they could only see groups of soldiers sitting peacefully on the boat, lined up in small phalanxes.

Then Sun Jingting got on the big boat, the Galen boat was dragged out of the harbor by the small boat, the sail was raised to adjust the direction, and after tossing for a while, the main sail puffed up, and the big ship began to row to the north on the sea.

"Ah," Song Ke let out a low cry of unknown meaning, "Sure enough, I went to Taipei." ”

A Dutchman gloated: "Now the Spaniards are in trouble." ”

Song Ke glared at the man and said, "These soldiers of Hutchison will go to Dayuan sooner or later. ”

Everyone was depressed all at once...... Who's to say it isn't? In the past few days on Hutchison's side, I felt a vigorous upward force everywhere, from farmers to workers, to artillery technicians, officers, soldiers, seamen, every level is a sense of prosperity, this upward force and cohesion are terrifying, especially the large amount of wood stored, but also can make people feel Hutchison's determination and ability to build warships to form a large fleet.

Taiwan's big wood is not easy to cut down, Song Ke simply doesn't want to know where these wood comes from, just from the details of the wood and the large drying room, Hutchison's power on the island of Taiwan is only the tip of the iceberg, and deeper things are still hidden under the surface of the sea. Of course, Song Ke would not think that Hutchison's power would exceed that of the Netherlands, but he was only a company behind him...... The Dutch East India Company does not represent the whole of the Netherlands, that is, a company formed by more than a dozen powerful people in the country to seize colonies and wealth, and at the same time use trade means to make money, of course, the power of the company is not only in Asia, but to put it bluntly, the main force is Asia, or how to call it the East India Company?

This time, Baba came to sue for peace, not because he didn't know if the company's senior management would be willing to spend a lot of wealth to persist in the fight, so Song Ke's move to sue for peace, otherwise why would they suffer here......

"Anyway, let's get the matter in front of us first." Song Ke shook his head, shaking off the meaningless thoughts in his head, he had a hunch that what happened to the Spaniards today might happen to the Dutch in the near future.

It is better to resign from this governorship as soon as possible.

……

The sea breeze was blowing on the face again, and there was a familiar salty feeling.

Sun Jingting didn't expect that one day he would be familiar with this taste, looking at the seagulls hovering and flying overhead, the dolphins swimming back and forth at the bow of the boat, in a trance, it seemed that he had been on the ship all his life and was already an old sailor.

The people who came with them, Wang Yan and Wang Jingzhong and others have already stayed in Taiwan, which can be regarded as Tianshui's side. It is very likely that these people will stay in Taiwan, or the military department will transfer some new people over and some old people, but the number of people transferred will not be too much, the situation on Taiwan's side is relatively special, unlike the army, where all wars are fought, and the officers and soldiers here need to learn and be familiar with naval warfare, and in this era, they are considered to be high-tech and sophisticated troops, and the Marine Corps battalion will sooner or later become a marine regiment or even a marine division, and will seize more islands and larger territory for Hutchison.

Many northern soldiers from various military towns in Liaodong, Datong, Xuanfu, Shanxi, and Shaanxi may have to stay in Taiwan for the rest of their lives to open up territory for Hutchison.

That's good too...... Sun Jingting smiled to himself, in less than ten days in Taiwan, he also fell in love with this big island, also known as Dongfan Island, both the scenery and the climate are quite pleasant.

Mobei also has a lot of unique scenery, but that is another kind of beauty, and the island of this blue sea and blue sky, water and sky scenery is very different, compared to the endless grassland, Sun Jingting prefers the sea and sky.

"Fired?"

There was a rumbling sound of artillery fire in his ears, and Sun Jingting walked to the side and looked ahead.

Four sailboats lay across a rudimentary harbor area, and the shells first hit the sandy beach of white sand, and many people ran around on the shore like headless flies...... The transmission of news in this era is very slow, only a few days after the Sino-Dutch war, the Spaniards have not received the news at all, and of course they will not be vigilant, so when the fleet attacked, they were unprepared at all, a round of artillery was fired, and all the people from the port to the beach were blinded, and there were two sailing ships at the trestle that were loading, and suddenly became the target of fire, after hitting the two rounds of guns on the beach shore, the remaining shells were all on the two ships, and after a few rounds of artillery, the hull had exploded everywhere, and it looked like it was about to be sunk.

This fixed target was different from naval warfare, almost every round of artillery could accurately hit the target, so that after two more rounds, the two Spanish galleons had to be sunk.

Even that wasn't much better, as there were already inlets everywhere on the side and a group of Spanish sailors were desperately trying to fix the holes...... If you don't make it up, you can't do it, and if you don't make it up, you will even sink down together.

Then you can see that the white flags on both ships are flying at the same time, and some Spaniards run to the deck at the risk of death, waving the flags desperately.

There was a burst of boos from the deck of the Tianchengwei...... Compared with the Dutch, these Spaniards were too undisciplined and bloody, so they only fired a few rounds of artillery and surrendered directly.

Now that the enemy had surrendered, the sailboat extended its artillery fire forward, and the cannonballs flew sideways on the beach, and the men turned on their backs, and after a few rounds of fighting, except for the unfortunate ghost, who was hit by the cannonballs and died on the shore, the rest had disappeared.

Sun Jingting was also dumbfounded, after watching the war against the Dutch, the scene in front of him was really a new lower limit.

A naval officer couldn't help but smile and said: "It's good to teach Master Sun that the Spaniards have lost their martial spirit, and most of them are a group of merchants and sailors, who have a share in their fortune, and it's okay to fight the natives, and they can't fight a tough battle anymore." Otherwise, they also want Taiwan, and the Dutch are coming, and they don't even dare to let out a fart, let alone think of a way to come over and fight. ”

The Spaniards were actually the oldest colonizers, but they did not achieve the great cause of a global empire, which may have had to do with national character and mostly with domestic politics.

To this day, it was a relatively conservative and monarchical state, a Catholic protectorate, a closed protectorate, serious internal strife, and frequent disputes with foreign powers in Europe, which also seriously weakened its power at sea. Although Spain has the opportunity to become a global empire like the empire on which the sun never sets, its glory has begun to decline in less than a hundred years, and now it has been surpassed by rising stars such as the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.

"So it seems that Luzon can be expected." Sun Jingting smiled slightly, his eyes full of expectation.

The Dutch, the Spaniards, and even the Portuguese, according to Chang Wei's idea, will leave them some trade bases and footholds, but several important points must be taken down, such as Luzon and Batavia, two important points, to keep Hirado, deepen the relationship with Li Guozhu, and pull into the Hutchison system, so that Taiwan, Japan, Yecheng, and Manila have formed a huge internal trade circle, and the trade income of these places alone will reach millions of taels, plus the territory left for Europeans and the trade interests of Europe. plus the taxation of Chinese maritime merchants...... The peace form is actually a tax, and the Ming Dynasty does not collect it, so of course Hutchison laughs at it.

Add up a few things, if it goes well, you can achieve more than 10 million profits within ten years!

Chang Wei estimated that it would reach more than six million within three years, but Sun Jingting was more optimistic.

This is not surprising, Chang Wei is the person in charge of Taiwan, and he must always leave some margin in advance, otherwise he will not be able to do it if the cowhide is blown out, and the Taiwan marching division will have no face.

And Sun Jingting from the eyes of the facts, the sea is really a waterway paved with gold, the Ming Emperor took the most profitable things to forget, day long and those domestic merchants who dig food and do small business in the soil, but the largest piece of sea trade is allowed to be divided by the gentry and wealthy merchants in Jiangnan and Guangzhou, Fujian, and finally fell into the hands of a family surname, speaking of which, the management level of the Ming Dynasty is really far worse than the two Song Dynasty, in the plundering of civil wealth, the Zhao family is a hundred streets stronger than the Zhu family.

The sailing boat slowly approached the shore, lowered the dinghy, and several squadron soldiers rowed the boat ashore first, controlling the trestle and the shore, and the men on the two merchant ships were escorted down, kneeling on the side with their heads in their hands, and several soldiers tied them all with long ropes.

Two sailboats slowly approached the shore, the soldiers came ashore from the shallow water, the other two leaned against the trestle, and more soldiers walked down from the trestle.

All the officers and men of the army who had come ashore began to take up their positions under the promotion of officers and sergeants, and there were no soldiers, no pikemen, and no cavalry, and all the musketeers began to load their bayonets under the orders of the officers one after another, and the bayonets were stung with force at the sleeve at the front end of the muskets, and the muskets were connected together, and the cold light on the beach was immediately dazzling.

Sun Jingting clapped his hands lightly, watched it many times, and still liked the scene in front of him, so military and powerful, magnificent!

Pulleys were used in the bows of several ships, six four-pounder guns and more than a dozen tiger squat guns were put down, and it was the entire battalion that sent troops, and the battalion commander Lu Dafu was actually more than that...... Now the Spaniards in Taipei are estimated to be more than 300 people, and there are more than 600 soldiers in one battalion alone, plus so many heavy firearms, it can only be a sweeping situation, and there will be no other results.
