After the huge fleet left Kinmen Island, sailed to the vast sea, towards the Penghu Islands, Su Tiancheng's heart, inexplicably a little excited, before the crossing, he had not been to Taiwan, but often saw Taiwan on TV, once known as the Asian Four Tigers, Taiwan, the development is very good, and Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore is as famous in the world, but in today's situation, these places are nothing at all, without the slightest fame, will not be noticed by the outside world.

After the crossing, Su Tiancheng did too many things, completely reversed the course of history, many things that should have happened, completely changed, Hong Chengchou, who had taken refuge in Houjin, was still stationed in the grassland, giving Houjin Tartar a huge threat, so that Houjin Tartar gritted his teeth with hatred, but he was helpless, Huang Taiji because he met his strong opponent, he actually withstood the blow of losing Concubine Chen, and survived tenaciously, he is still the emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty, and the rogues who should be plundered everywhere have long disappeared, Gone are the same.

It should be said that history will not go back, and many tragedies will not occur.

But deep down, Su Tiancheng still has regrets, although he has changed the course of history, but he has not been able to grasp history, can only be the trend of smooth history, doing what some people want to do but have not done, Su Tiancheng's purpose is to make the Ming Dynasty really strong and rejuvenated, but this purpose, in today's situation, is almost impossible, the emperor Zhu Youzhen in the capital, it is impossible to become a generation of Ming monarchs, unable to create a good situation, the people of the Ming Dynasty, life has not changed much, There are still party struggles within the imperial court, and perhaps there are signs of an outbreak after the situation has completely stabilized. The southern class of scholars and doctors is still high above and will not and cannot understand the suffering of the common people. Maybe one day, the contradictions and conflicts between Su Tiancheng and Zhu Youzhen will really erupt to the point of being out of control.

Because of someone's efforts. The course of history will change, but the tide of history is rushing forward, Su Tiancheng knows very well that according to his own practices, maybe it won't take long for Zhu Youzhen to really maintain his throne, because Zhu Youzhen can't adapt to this trend of progress, and at that time, I'm afraid he will have to do something he is reluctant to do.

All this is Su Tiancheng's analysis and imagination. After so many years, Su Tiancheng knows that there are some things that you don't have to predict, and you don't have to think about it, do things according to your own principles, and everything is enough.

Exterminating the Houjin Tartars and destroying the Houjin regime is the biggest task at present. But what happened next was even more important. Let the Ming Dynasty be truly strong.

Su Tiancheng did not know whether he would be able to truly achieve this goal, and perhaps Taiwan would be the best choice, if he could really build Taiwan well and create a brand-new management system in a short period of time. This kind of contribution is no less than the extermination of the Liukou and the Houjin Tartars.

I am afraid that this is the reason why Su Tiancheng attaches great importance to Taiwan.

The battle on Kinmen Island made Su Tiancheng realize that the recovery of Taiwan probably does not need to go through too many twists and turns. According to the current strength of the army, the Dutch colonists are vulnerable, and the superiority in numbers and weapons makes this battle not too suspenseful, and the focus is still on the construction in the back.

On the second day of the third month of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, the warship formation arrived at the periphery of the Penghu Islands.

Most of the warships of the Dutch colonists, also active in this generation, the location of the Penghu Islands is very important, control here, it is equivalent to controlling the shipping of the Taiwan Strait, at least able to control the entire Tainan, these years, the self-proclaimed very powerful Dutch warships, when they are not satisfied, Zheng Zhilong's fleet in Quanzhou, completely controlled the Taiwan Strait, including the entire South China Sea, the Dutch warships, have met several times, have been defeated, had to give up control of the strait, Instead of shifting all their attention to running Taiwan, the Dutch's efforts paid off, and they defeated the Spaniards, took full control of Taiwan, and also took control of places like Luzon and Nanyang, and began to amass wealth in a frenzy.

The Dutch defeated the Spaniards, replaced the Spaniards, and became the main trading partners of the Ming and Japan, but the main strength of the Dutch was in the south of Taiwan, and the northern part of Taiwan, which was previously occupied by the Spaniards, was not yet the focus of their control, not to mention that the battle between the Dutch and the Spaniards ended in less than a year, and the Dutch needed time to consolidate their rule.

Zheng Zhilong was defeated by the Jiangning battalion, the Dutch were aware of the news, they were ecstatic, thinking that they could completely control the Taiwan Strait, and even the entire South China Sea, in their opinion, the Ming Dynasty had a huge shelf, internal disputes continued, facing huge troubles, I am afraid that they could not take care of here, but unfortunately the development of the facts, beyond their expectations, especially the Jiangning Battalion Sailor's strict control of smuggling, their interests, is also a great damage.

The profits of maritime transportation and commerce are huge, which the Dutch know very well, the strength of the kingdoms of Spain, the Netherlands and Portugal almost all rely on the development of military power at sea, so that they can expand outward through the sea and plunder wealth, so the Dutch are very concerned about the development of maritime military power.

Ocean expansion is not a strange thing for the Dutch, but the competition in Europe is still very fierce, in this case, it is impossible for the Dutch colonists to send the main force to Taiwan, which has also become their weakness, that is, the force of expansion is not particularly strong.

As soon as the Dutch learned the news of the Jiangning Battalion's naval division's attack on Kinmen Island, and before they had time to make a comprehensive deployment, the warship formation came to the Penghu Islands.

It was the Dutch general Song Ke who led the Dutch to defeat the Western Tooth Pullers and control the whole of Taiwan.

This Song Ke is not simple, he came to Taiwan during the Apocalypse, and used coercion and temptation to obtain a large amount of land, and in Tainan, Chiayi and Kaohsiung and other places, they have established military and trade strongholds, their main stronghold is located in Tainan, known as Chichicheng, which was established by the Dutch one hand and one foot.

As early as the Wanli period, the Dutch East India Company established a permanent military base in Batavia, which was later known as Jakarta, Indonesia, to establish this base in order to enable the Dutch army to control the Penghu Islands, control Taiwan, and then control the shipping routes of the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea.

Song Ke led nearly 3,000 Dutch soldiers, in addition to some indigenous people recruited locally, including some Han Chinese who were forcibly conscripted, with a total strength of 6,000 men, and of course, the main combat strength was still 2,800 Dutch soldiers.

Because of the support of the military base in Batavia, Song Ke was able to rule the whole of Taiwan smoothly after defeating the Spaniards, although more than 2,000 Dutch, not to mention the whole of Taiwan, Song Ke once defeated many small-scale uprisings organized by the Taiwanese people, and also brutally suppressed the Taiwanese people.

The total number of warships and merchant ships commanded by Song Ke has reached more than 100, and the combat effectiveness of the warships is still good, but it is difficult to keep the quantity, but even when Zheng Zhilong controls the entire South China Sea route, he cannot easily attack Taiwan, after all, the Dutch warships, the focus is not on quantity, but on quality, and the huge warships are the pride of Song Ke.

After receiving the news of the Ming army's attack on Kinmen Island, Song Ke sensitively sensed that the Ming army was very likely to launch an attack on the Penghu Islands and Taiwan Islands, and he quickly made arrangements, sending the warships assembled in Tainan to the Penghu Islands, stationed on the largest Penghu Island, and asking the sergeants to pass through the watchtowers on the islands and keep an eye on the situation at sea.

Song Ke has enough capital pride, not to mention that he led the Dutch to defeat the Spaniards, even in the confrontation with Zheng Zhilong, he was not completely defeated, although because of the small number of warships, it was difficult to resist Zheng Zhilong's huge fleet, and he had to compromise, when the Dutch merchant ships passed through the Taiwan Strait, he paid a certain protection fee, but he firmly controlled the Penghu Islands, controlled Taiwan, controlled the maritime trade routes of the Ming Dynasty, and relied on a small number of troops and warships, to be able to do this, it was not simple.

Song Ke once suggested to the king that he send a large number of warships and sergeants to Taiwan and the South Seas to defeat the Ming Dynasty's sailors and completely control the routes here, but his proposal was not approved.

The Netherlands is also not a big country, and its own military strength is limited, so it is impossible to send so many sergeants.

The Ming army attacked the Penghu Islands and Taiwan, Song Ke was not particularly nervous, the courage of the Dutch warships was very famous, the Dutch warships in history, once called the sea coachman, the Ming army came from Kinmen Island, after a long journey, the supply at sea, but it was not as simple as on land, they occupied the Penghu Islands and Taiwan Island, with enough material support, but the Ming army that came to attack did not have that advantage.

Of course, the speed of the Ming army's warships was beyond Song Ke's expectations.

Just after he learned the news that the Ming army had captured Kinmen Island, the Ming army soon arrived at the periphery of the Penghu Islands and was detected by the sergeant on the watchtower, because the Ming army came to attack the Penghu Islands and Taiwan, Song Ke had already come to Penghu Island with the warship, ready to personally command this crucial battle.

All the deployment has not been completed, the Ming army came to the Penghu Islands, at this time, Song Ke can not complain, can only ask all the sergeants, are ready to fight, in case they can not resist, the warship can withdraw to Tainan, continue to hold on, the Ming army wants to take the red city, it is not so easy.
