\Please go to,360118,com 六*九*中*文*Read the latest chapter/
The negotiations between Xiong Wencan and Anita have entered a white-hot state from the very beginning. On the question of the ownership of Formosa, neither side will budge an inch. Both are masters of negotiation, and both try to force each other to force each other to make concessions.
The basic demand of the Tiger Army was that all the Dutch "withdraw from Formosa and leave not one behind." Even if you stay on a nearby island, "no. The Dutch wanted to come to Formosa, and now, they had to get the approval of the Tiger Army. In the near future" to be approved by the new empire. In other words, Formosa was part of the territory of the new empire.
And for the Dutch, the bottom line is to keep at least half of Formosa. They even want to take over the whole of Formosa. Anita proposed that the Tiger Army could be paid a certain fee to formally "lease" Formosa. It's the same as Macau, which was "leased" by the Portuguese. Of course, this cost will not be much. It cannot exceed 10,000 guilders per year.
Anita's proposal "was of course rejected by Xiong Wencan. At present, the Tiger Ben army is trying to make contact with the Portuguese, preparing to salute first and then take back Macao. The Dutchman also wanted to lease Formosa, but he didn't want to. Not only Formosa, but also many places in the South Seas, as long as Zheng He's fleet had been to before, the Tiger Ben army had to take them back.
I have to say that the contribution of Zheng He's fleet is absolutely huge. Many of the relics left behind by Zheng He's fleet "have become strong evidence that the Celestial Empire was in existence or controlled a certain place." As long as the Tiger Ben Army insists on these evidences, there will be an excuse to use the army in the future. Anyway, the arrival of the Western powers in Southeast Asia, the Indo-Ocean and other places "is definitely later than Zheng He's fleet." As for the local natives, "Who cares about them?"
"On the territory of your Ming Dynasty, Formosa does not belong to your land."
Anita is also shrewd and moves out of evidence. He took out the territory of the Ming Dynasty and placed it in front of Xiong Wencan. This damn map of the Ming Kingdom, which was drawn in the twentieth year of Hongwu, does not include Dongfan Island. Distant Siberia, Sakhalin and other places were included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. However, Tofan Island is not included.
This is also one of the several questions that Zhang Zhun has not understood since he traveled to the Ming Dynasty. He couldn't understand "why the power of the Ming Dynasty extended to Sakhalin", but he turned a blind eye to Dongfan Island at his doorstep. Moreover, it seems that this was not only the case in the Ming Dynasty. The previous dynasties also seemed to have turned a blind eye to the island of Taiwan. I don't know why, all dynasties and dynasties don't seem to have explicitly incorporated the island of Taiwan into their own territory.
It stands to reason that the island of Taiwan is also a place rich in natural resources, and there are also a lot of mineral resources. How can such a good place be untouched? In the final analysis, the Central Plains Dynasty is enough for the people to live, and there is no need for this overseas treasure island at all. Coupled with the weak maritime awareness, "ordinary officials do not dare to go to sea, which will lead to the current status quo on the island of Taiwan."
If the map drawn by the Ming Dynasty included Dongfan Island, Xiong Wencan would not have to bother with the Dutch at all. Of course, "if that were the case, Anita would not dare to take out the map of the Ming Dynasty as evidence." The Dutch are going to take advantage of "this is the loophole."
"Dongfan Island is also not part of your Dutch territory."
Xiong Wencan's unthinking anti-combsp; "But let's get here first."
Anita argued.
"We Han people have arrived a long time ago."
Xiong Wencan hit the nail on the head, and his words immediately rose up.
When it comes to the history of Dongfan Island, where is Anita Xiong Wencan's opponent? Xiong Wencan talked endlessly from the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and then to the Qin and Han Kingdoms, "two Jin, Sui and Tang, two Song, Yuanming" directly said that Anita was dumb. In his words, poor Anita is not even at all; In fact, when it comes to the history of the arrival of the Han Chinese on Dongfan Island, "the Dutch really have nothing to say." There is ample evidence that "when the Three Kingdoms were in the Three Kingdoms, there were people in the Wu State who immigrated to the island of Taiwan." Even "before the arrival of the Dutch, there were the Portuguese." The name Formosa was given by the Portuguese.
"Let's duel!"
Anita was annoyed and stood up in annoyance.
Now that Xiong Wencan has no power to grasp Jī, he wants to take advantage of this, and humiliate Xiong Wencan by the way. He was really speechless by Xiong Wencan, and his stomach was on fire. humiliating the other party in the dueling arena, Lianghu Benjun had nothing to say.
If Xiong Wencan had come three years ago, Anita would not have been able to bird him at all. Because, three years ago, "the forces represented by Xiong Wencan, the Dutch would not have taken it seriously at all." No matter what Xiong Wencan said, he could smile contemptuously, and then turn around and walk away. As the overlord of the world's oceans, Anita has every right to do so.
But now it's different! Now, "Xiong Wencan represents the Tiger Army." Before this, the Dutch had already fought with the Tiger Army, and knew that the Tiger Army was not easy to mess with. At present, it is difficult for the Dutch to fight, and it is difficult not to fight. Anita, who is in a dilemma, is naturally annoyed and angry, and she is a little out of shape.
"Noo Yamamura, boring move!"
Xiong Wencan smiled and flatly refused.
Just kidding, "This Anita is known to you that she has practiced it at a glance." He Xiong Wencan is a literati who "has never practiced boxing and kicking." If it was Lu Xiangsheng, maybe he would have agreed. It's just that "Lu Xiangsheng definitely won't use a sword", he can only raise his eyebrows and machete.
"Get your men down!"
Anita doesn't give up, "or pester Xiong Wencan" Okay! ”
This time, Ji Wencan unexpectedly agreed.
"Good!"
Anita was overjoyed.
He knew that Xiong Wencan's guards "were all from the Tiger Army." Defeating Xiong Wencan's guards "is equivalent to defeating the Tiger Army." At the very least, it can give the Dutch a slight psychological advantage" and give the Tiger Army a little color.
In the end, Anita and Xiong Wencan discussed and decided to have a short gun duel. Ten fast gunners from each side "drew their guns and fired at each other." There are no rules for the game. Doing everything possible to kill the opponent first is the rule. The game continues until one side concedes defeat.
"Fifty yards."
Xiong Wencan first proposed the race distance.
"Fifty yards is too far."
Anita frowned, a little reluctantly.
In a normal short-gun duel, the distance between the two sides is "only about twenty yards." There were even "some finals where the two sides were less than ten yards apart." Fifty yards away" for a short musket, "there is basically no hit rate!"
"Fifty yards, or more!"
Xiong Wencan insisted on this distance and resolutely refused to change his words.
This was specially ordered by Zhang Zhun, and of course it was impossible for him to change it. Although, Xiong Wencan is not very clear about the meaning of this distance. Nine on Anita's reluctance, Xiong Wencan insisted on this distance, and resolutely refused to shorten even the ** distance.
"Good!"
"Fifty yards!"
Anita agreed.
He "had enough confidence in his gunners." The gunmen he selected were all killed by one shot. Even at a distance of fifty yards, they should be able to kill each other. Whether it is on the gun drawn, or on the loading of the bullet yao" they are completely over the gunners of the Tiger Army.
"Good!"
"Let's go!"
Xiong Wencan nodded and said quietly.
Soon, "ten gunmen on both sides were standing in the open space fifty yards away." Each of them, carrying at least four short muskets on their backs. The four short muskets "were enough to provide enough firepower for both sides at the beginning of the duel."
I heard that there are Gunners who are going to have a collective final" The surrounding Dutch people all gathered around. Listening to them pointing and whispering, Xiong Wencan understood that the ten gunmen of the Dutch seemed to have a great background. They often duel with others, and they win every time. Because "the losers have been killed."
Xiong Wencan, who had just joined the Tiger Army, couldn't help but be a little worried about the ten gunmen of the Tiger Army.
He didn't know the details of these gunmen, these gunmen were all arranged by Zhang Zhun before. The person in charge of leading them was an officer named Liu Mang. It is said that this Liu Mang is Zhang Zhun's personal guard.
"Jin!"
A crisp jīdang voice came.
Anita personally rang the bronze bell for the start of the game.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The sound of gunshots like bursting beans rang out immediately.
The gunners on both sides drew their guns quite quickly and shot very quickly. The people next to him didn't understand that the Dutchman's gunners had already fallen halfway. And on the side of the gunners of the Tiger Army, there was only some bleeding, but no one fell.
"Huh?"
"How so?"
Anita was dumbfounded.
The Dutch around, at the same time dumbfounded.
"Ahh
"Awesome!"
Xiong Wencan couldn't help but gasp.
Sure enough, he is worthy of Zhang Zhun's guard, and his shot is extraordinary. This time, the Dutch are estimated to be completely annihilated. After a while, Anita's face will definitely turn the color of pork liver.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Before the audience could come to their senses, a second round of gunfire rang out again.
The Dutch gunners all fell, and on the side of the Tiger Ben gunners, there were still people who shed blood, but no one fell. A duel that I thought was very jī fierce came to an abrupt end. The Dutch gunners were wiped out, and it is estimated that there are few people alive.
"Cut!"
"Xiao-like!"
"Tell you to pretend to be bī!"
Liu Mang blew the white smoke from the muzzle of the gun and said disdainfully.
He ignored the reactions of the people around him, and made a gesture, and the Tiger Gunners who went out to fight "put away the Eagle Eyes in unison." At this time, "the surrounding audience slowly reacted. It may be that the expectation is so far from the reality that they are all collectively petrified.
It is estimated that this is the first time that many Dutch people have seen the demeanor of the Tiger Ben Army gunner. It is estimated that this is also the first time that the Dutch Gunners have suffered such a defeat. Previously, even if they failed, the "Dutch gunners" could shoot at least half the number of their opponents. Unexpectedly, today, they themselves were all defeated, but they didn't even hit a single enemy!
Incredible!
It's incredible!
No Dutch person can figure out what the reason is.
In fact, in this short-shot duel, the Tiger Ben Army relied on the advantage of rifled guns. A short musket without rifling "has a maximum killing distance, that is, twenty or thirty meters." The hit rate is only within 20 meters, which is more reliable. Once you get out of this distance, you will have to be tragic.
On the contrary, the eagle glasses used by the Tiger Ben Army are rifled. Both the killing distance and the aiming distance "have exceeded fifty meters." The two sides fired at a distance of fifty meters, "It's no wonder that the Dutch don't suffer big losses." The Dutch did not know the secret, and Anita's arrogance "gave the ten Dutch gunners who went out to fight at a heavy price."
In the end, it was checked that the gunmen on both sides, on the Dutch side, were six dead and four seriously wounded. Two days later, "the vessel was also ineffective and died." On the side of the Tiger Army, there were three people who were slightly injured, "No one died." Such a result made Anita feel a little crazy. But "he couldn't go crazy." Because, he really felt that the Tiger Army was indeed too terrifying. Such an opponent is definitely not easy to mess with.
However, terrible is terrible, and negotiations still have to continue. On the issue of Formosa, "Anita still refuses to make any concessions. In fact, to such a point, there is no possibility of concession on either side. On the 24th of the month, the Dutch formally rejected the demands of the Tiger Army.
Xiong Wencan was expelled from Formosa by Dutch soldiers.
The big war is imminent.
Fujian "Quanzhou Mansion, the location of the Second Expeditionary Corps of the Tiger Ben Army.
Zhang Zhun was sitting in front of a map of the island of Taiwan, carefully pondering the route of attacking the island. In his previous life, Zhang Zhun was not qualified to ponder such a route. But now "he has a good reason, a lot of time, to arrange it all perfectly."
"My lord, Sun Chuanting is here."
A staff officer came in and reported in a low voice.
"Please!"
Zhang Zhun nodded and stood up by the way.
Soon, Sun Chuanting came in.
"Lord Governor!"
Sun Chuanting saluted and said hello.
"You may be seated."
Zhang Zhun nodded and said gently.
Sun Chuanting sat down respectfully, subconsciously glanced at Zhang Zhun, and then looked at the map of Dongfan Island behind Zhang Zhun. He knew that "Zhang Zhun was pondering the relevant strategy for attacking Dongfan Island." The recovery of Dongfan Island is indeed a great achievement. It's a pity that this matter is not under his jurisdiction. He came to Zhang Zhun for the purpose of entering Southeast Asia.
The Vermilion Bird Legion of the Tiger Ben Army, swept all the way, had swept away the old forces in Guangdong and other places, and was currently marching to Guangxi, Guizhou, Yunnan and other places. Guangzhou Prefecture, Nanning Prefecture and other places have all fallen under the control of the Tiger Army. Preparations for the march to the southeastern peninsula will begin from now on. Sun Chuanting hoped that in about two years, he could make all the preparations, and then lead the army to the south to expand the territory.
After careful consideration, Zhang Zhun finally decided to let Sun Chuanting form a corps of 5,000 people. Materials and equipment are all provided by the Tiger Army. The recruitment of personnel is also in charge of the Tiger Benjun. As for the weapon, of course, it is the sword of the figurine. The southeast peninsula is basically a tropical rainforest area, the climate is humid, the rainfall is abundant, and the use of muskets is very limited, even if the tiger is equipped, the effect is not very good.
Of course, "it's not a tiger that doesn't give it to Sun Chuanting." As long as a high-powered weapon such as the Tiger Bentong is fought in a relatively flat area, it still has a great advantage in sniping or long-distance shooting. In the end, "Zhang Zhun allocated a battalion of Tiger Ben to Sun Chuanting to use as the main force of the corps."
In fact, everyone knows that with Sun Chuanting's ability, it is not difficult to take the Southeast Peninsula. The ultimate goal of the Tiger Army was "the Mughal Empire," which is today's India. At present, "the Western powers are stepping up their infiltration into the Mughal dynasty and want to control it." If the Tiger Army goes late, there will be nothing.
The biggest trouble in the fighting in Southeast Asia is the natural geographical environment. The geography here is "very different from that of the Central Plains. In the past, "many of the armies of the Central Plains Dynasty" would be treated with the so-called miasma, and they would be miserable. In fact, "as long as you overcome the rainforests of Southeast Asia and reach the edge of the Mughal dynasty, you will be considered victorious."
From a scientific point of view, logistical supply "is indeed quite difficult. At that time, there were basically no roads for horse-drawn carriages in Southeast Asia, and all of them had to rely on foot. This situation did not improve significantly until the Second World War. During World War II, the Japanese army conquered Southeast Asia at a huge cost.
"Occupy the ports along the coast as soon as possible."
"Use sea supplies as much as possible."
Zhang Zhun said cautiously.
The Tiger Army fought in Southeast Asia "through the sea supply, which is the most convenient." Compared to the 6-place recharge, the ocean recharge is much larger. The food supplies brought by a merchant fleet can be used for several months. As long as several merchant fleets are arranged to transport in turns, "there will be no major problems in terms of logistics."
In the future, attacking the Mughal Dynasty was also the safest supply by sea. The situation of the Mughal Dynasty is actually quite complicated. There is no unified state institution there, only a few dozen Yadai Xiaoxiao's earth kings. These earth kings have their own armies. There are many people, tens of thousands. Few, only a few hundred. But all of them add up, and there are quite a few of them.
Speaking of maritime logistics, this again comes to the damn issue of maritime communications. Without easy and fast maritime communications, the communication of ships on the sea "is always a dead knot." There was no communication, not even two merchant ships passing by. As long as they are outside the observation range of the clairvoyant, they may not be aware of the other party's existence.
It seems that after Xu Zhengming made the thunder mercury, "it is necessary to set up several new research laboratories" to study radio. In fact, "the principle of "rudimentary radio" is still tǐng simple. Even if long-distance radios cannot be put into use for communication within two or three hundred kilometers, efforts must be made to solve the problem. Relying solely on carrier pigeons" is indeed very inconvenient for marine communication.
"Lord Governor, please rest assured, after his subordinates arrive in Nanning Mansion, they will definitely form the legion as soon as possible" Prepare for the southern expedition as soon as possible. ”
Sun Chuanting said calmly.
He had just taken refuge in the new empire and really wanted to make a name for himself so that he could "have a place in the new empire" in the future. Since Zhang Zhun gave him such an opportunity, he had to take advantage of it.
"This is for you."
Zhang Zhun took out a manuscript and handed it to Sun Chuanting.
"It's ......"
Sun Chuanting took it and asked a little suspiciously.
"Here are some of the dos and don'ts of rainforest warfare. After you have studied it yourself, you should memorize it by heart, and then pass it on to the officers and soldiers below you in the future. Make sure everyone knows as much as they can. It's their life guarantee. Those who cherish their lives must not be sloppy. If you don't die, at the hands of the enemy, but at the hands of harsh circumstances, it's not worth it. ”
"The book is currently being scheduled for printing, and it is estimated that it will be ready for printing in half a year. When the time comes, "Your legion can have one copy for everyone." Every officer and soldier must study it repeatedly and have a detailed understanding of the matters related to tropical rainforest operations. Otherwise, it's a joke with your own life. ”
Zhang Zhun said solemnly.
In order to help Sun Chuanting smoothly adapt to the climate of the Southeast Peninsula, Zhang Zhun "dictated by himself, wrote by the staff officer, and compiled a book of "Tropical Rainforest Operations" based on his knowledge in his previous life. What he gave to Sun Chuanting was this battle book. It describes in detail the dangers of the rainforest" and how to solve them.
In later generations, during the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, the troops accumulated experience in fighting in some tropical rainforest areas. In addition, Zhang Zhun has trained in tropical rainforest areas many times, "and he also has considerable experience in fighting in tropical rainforest areas." The combination of the two "has this thick combat encyclopedia.
There is no doubt that such a book "is absolutely priceless for Sun Chuanting." For the officers and soldiers of the Southern Expeditionary Corps in the future, it is also a talisman to save their lives. As long as they understand the characteristics and dangers of the tropical rainforest, they can achieve twice the result with half the effort and achieve greater victories when fighting.
"Go!"
"I'll wait for your triumphant return."
Zhang Zhun stood up and said expectantly.
"The subordinate has taken his leave!"
Sun Chuanting hurriedly stood up and said with a sigh of relief.
After saluting, Sun Chuanting turned around and "strode away."
"This Sun Chuanting."
Zhang Zhun nodded with satisfaction.
Putting aside his personal morality, he didn't say anything, "Sun Chuanting is definitely a person who does great things." He has ambition and hope, and happens to be one of the best candidates for external development. If you want to give Sun Chuanting a nickname, "it is "poisonous snake". Now that he is being sent, "it is foreseeable that the southeastern peninsula can already be included in the territory of the new empire."
However, it is not enough for Sun Chuanting's army to be swift and safe, and to kill near the Mughal Dynasty, with ambition and hope, and with the "Tropical Rainforest Combat Encyclopedia". The most important thing is to solve the problem of logistics and transportation. The key is to defeat the Dutch!
Before the defeat of the Dutch, it was impossible for the transport ships of the Tiger Ben Army to reach Southeast Asia. Therefore, this plan to lure the snake out of dong is very crucial. This plan, if successful, "the arrogance of the Dutch will be suppressed a lot." If it fails, it will be difficult for the Tigers to have a chance to inflict another blow on the Dutch in the next year or two.
I wonder how the Saiviara pirate fleet, which is your bait, is doing now? Will the main fleet of the Dutch be hooked? Saviara, can you send the information out in time?
