(Thank you Bread84 for voting for your valuable monthly ticket, thank you for not choosing the middle route or right, and the reward of the Demon Thieves Group, thank you, the Spring Festival is approaching, I wish readers a happy Spring Festival.) ）

On the fourth day of the third month of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, the battle to attack the Penghu Islands began.

Su Tiancheng did not directly command the battle, the specific operational command was all in charge of Sun Chuanting, according to the previous deployment, the combat offensive adopted the method of killing the chicken, that is, concentrating superior forces and firepower, attacking the Dutch warships, not taking into account the matter of saving shells, and not worrying about the expenses, everything was mainly based on completely destroying the Dutch warships.

According to this arrangement, the large warships were at the front, using heavy artillery fire to sink or destroy the Dutch warships, the medium-sized warships were responsible for encircling and suppressing the Dutch warships after the artillery attack, so as to prevent the warships from escaping, and the small ships, following behind the medium-sized warships, were responsible for face-to-face combat and capturing prisoners.

The battle began at midnight.

The fierce artillery fire covered the sea in an instant, and the sound of shell explosions, huge splashes, and wooden planks flying into the sky constituted the entire landscape of the battle.

Song Ke had already begun to regret it when he discovered the main force of the Ming Army's naval division, but this regret came too late.

From the telescope, Song Ke could even see the black muzzles on the Ming warships, but the countless guns were aimed at the few warships, and Song Ke knew that there was no disparity in the outcome of this battle.

Because of the lack of preparation, Song Ke did not even have time to deploy the retreat route, did not have time to give the order to retreat, and after the Dutch warship was surrounded by the Daming Naval Division, Song Ke had no way to give the order to retreat.

Song Ke is a very real person, and he can't win the battle. There is no need to insist, to persevere, except to cause unnecessary casualties, not to get any benefit, so to speak, for so many years. Song Ke also experienced a lot of battles, but did not lose much, even after defeat, he was able to recover quickly and devote himself to the next battle.

But this time, Song Ke felt fear and despair.

More than 50 warships, all surrounded, from the telescope, it is not clear how many Ming warships. Only a piece of black pressure could be seen, at the same time as the Ming warship fired, the Dutch warship also fired, and the artillery on both sides fired face to face, but Song Ke found a situation that made him even more desperate, the Ming army's artillery was unusually sharp, and it fell on the battleship, which brought consequences. It was the broken mast and the flying planks, and some sergeants were thrown into the air by artillery fire.

Can be their own warship. The cannonballs fired could not hit the Ming army's warships at all, and they fell on the sea, stirring up waves, as if to cheer up the Ming army's artillery.

This disparity in artillery fire made Song Ke feel that the sky was falling.

The warship of the Ming army. When was it so sharp, such a force, not to say that you can't resist it, even the entire warship formation of the Netherlands can't resist it. If the Ming army's naval division went on an expedition to Europe, I am afraid that wherever they went, they would all fall from the wind, and the gap in firepower would be too large, and there would be no suspense in the battle.

Song Ke's face turned pale, and his body trembled slightly.

On the top of the watchtower, the adjutant who accompanied him stammered, asking Song Ke to retreat immediately, take a boat back to Chichicheng in Tainan, and organize the sergeants to prepare to resist the attack of the Ming army.

This was a normal suggestion, but Song Ke actually refused.

Song Ke is a typical pragmatist.

If he can't persist in the battle, he will never insist, from the sharpness of the Ming army's warships and artillery, Song Ke saw the terrible consequences, if he returned to Tainan and organized resistance in Chichicheng, in addition to causing greater casualties, there would be no other ending, and the sergeants who followed him were afraid of increasing casualties in vain.

Surrender is not a scandal, as long as the surrender can achieve the goal, there is not much of a big deal, during the Apocalypse, the Dutch general Raisen, once also surrendered by the Ming Naval Division, but later negotiations, said that although the Dutch army failed, it still got the actual benefits, the Ming army just controlled the Penghu Islands, but the Dutch army occupied Taiwan, this time, the same method can also be taken, as long as in the negotiations after the surrender, consider more issues, put forward more requirements, it's OK.

Thinking of this, Song Ke did not hesitate to give an order, demanding that all the Dutch warships surrender and end this one-sided massacre.

The offensive had only begun for half an hour.

Through the telescope, Su Tiancheng found that the Dutch warships had all stopped resisting and hung out the white flag, which was a sign of surrender, and the herald had come to ask Su Tiancheng whether to continue the attack or accept the surrender of the Dutch.

A smile appeared on the corner of Su Tiancheng's mouth, the lessons of history, he is clear, but the Dutch have surrendered, at this time, it is still inappropriate to continue the attack, as for what happened after the surrender, he has a number in his heart, not to mention the island of Taiwan, even the whole of Europe, will be completely conquered by the Jiangning Battalion Water Division.

The blue battle flag slowly raised the mast, a sign of a ceasefire.

The sea soon fell silent, some blown wooden planks fluttered on the sea, the mutilated Dutch warships remained in place, and countless small ships rowed towards the few Dutch warships.

Su Tiancheng stood on the deck, holding a telescope, motionless.

Soon, Sun Chuanting, Xiong Zijian, Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Chenggong took a small boat and came to the warship.

Sun Chuanting's face had a strange expression, not to mention the expressions of Xiong Zijian, Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Chenggong and others, as if they had swallowed flies, and they looked a little uncomfortable.

Sun Chuanting clenched his fists and spoke.

"My lord, the Dutch are too careless, this battle has just begun, they surrendered, what do you mean, the brothers are a little breathless, they have been on the warship for such a long time, they originally wanted to fight a good war, but they can attack the Penghu Islands, and attack Kinmen Island, I knew the result of Lu Dao, it is better to attack Tainan directly."

Su Tiancheng had a smile on his face.

"There is nothing strange about this, the disparity in strength, the Dutch are very clear, since there is no hope of victory, it is a greater loss to persist, the Dutch will not insist, their understanding, is very different from ours, people come here, the purpose is to make a fortune, not to lose their lives, but you also have to pay attention, the Dutch have worked hard to occupy Taiwan, so it is reluctant, the lessons of the Apocalypse years, everyone is clear, if this time, They also made such a calculation, it was a complete miscalculation, if they wanted to play tricks, then let their soldiers all go to the sea to feed the king. ”

Su Tiancheng's words made everyone laugh.

Qu Qingze on the side spoke.

"My lord, the commander of the Dutch is Song Ke, this Song Ke, who once led the Dutch, defeated the Spaniards, and occupied the entire Taiwan, including the Penghu Islands, still has some insight and ability, in addition, the Dutch East India Company has also established a military base in Batavia, Batavia is not very far from Taiwan, so it seems that the order to surrender must have been given by Song Ke, he is probably thinking that the Netherlands has established a military base in Batavia, and he will make a comeback day by day, and there is still a chance."

Su Tiancheng smiled and shook his head.

"It's not that simple, this Song Ke, I'm afraid he still thinks, give up the Penghu Islands, continue to occupy Taiwan, control the maritime trade routes to Quanzhou, Zhangzhou and Japan, as long as you negotiate with us, didn't the Dutch achieve such a goal last time, next, they must be thinking about negotiating with us, it's a pity, this negotiation, there are no conditions, the Dutch all withdraw from Taiwan, not allowed to take away a tael of silver, a grain of grain, all the warships in Taiwan, don't think about taking away, They have a military base in Batavia, so let the ships over there come and take them back, if they don't agree to such conditions, then don't negotiate, just start fighting, and let all the Dutch sergeants led by Song Ke stay in Taiwan. ”

After Su Tiancheng said this, everyone also laughed, such a negotiation is not a negotiation at all, or an order is issued to ask the Dutch to do what they are asked to do, and the rest of the aspects do not need to be negotiated.

Su Tiancheng looked at the people who were still smiling, and then spoke.

"The recovery of the Penghu Islands and Taiwan, this is only the first step, the conquest has not yet ended, Luzon, Nanyang and other places, the same need to be recovered, these places, this is my Ming Dynasty's subject country, how can the Dutch, Spaniards, Portuguese rampant here, I also heard that some Japanese Japanese pirates, in Korea, Luzon and Nanyang and other places activities, it seems that they also want to get a piece of the pie, that's good, this cup of soup is not so cheap, how much they get, they have to spit it out."

After recovering Taiwan, the warships continued to advance towards Luzon and Nanyang and other places to carry out expeditions, and to garrison troops in these places, so that these places could be re-under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty and become the subject countries of the Ming Dynasty.

Su Tiancheng looked at the sea that was slowly beginning to calm down, and spoke slowly.

"The next thing is the negotiation, no matter what the result of the negotiation is, the army continues to march towards Taiwan, the result of the negotiation is good, the Dutch do what we ask, then everything is easy to say, the result of the negotiation is not good, the Dutch still want to move what crooked thoughts, then you are welcome, hit hard, let them know what is painful, I think, only in this way, the Dutch will be really convinced, really feel afraid."

Everyone looked at Su Tiancheng and didn't speak, they all knew very well that all the deployments were in Su Tiancheng's mind, and the recovery of Taiwan was a sure thing, and the next thing was the complete conquest of Luzon and Nanyang. (To be continued......)
