In the Qiongzhou Strait, the East China Sea Fleet destroyed all three of the most powerful warships of the Dutch East India Company. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Without the warships, the Dutch lost the ability to take the initiative, and could only retreat to the stronghold, even if they wanted to hold on now, they could only pray that their God had not abandoned them!

After fishing up all the pirates who had fallen into the water, Huang Wu sent people to take the fast ship "Hengjiang" back to Nanjing to report the victory to the general.

When he was dealing with post-war matters, the doctor with the army asked to see him: "General Huang, Master Shi is awake!" ”

Hearing that Shi Lang was awake, Huang Wu walked into the cabin.

Seeing that Shi Lang's forehead was bandaged with a white cloth with blood stains, Huang Wu asked, "Brother Shi, it's okay!" ”

Shi Lang didn't care about his wounds, and hurriedly asked, "How are my subordinates now?" ”

Huang Wu pondered for a while and said, "Two lock boats were destroyed, and more than a hundred people were killed and wounded. Brother Shi don't worry, we have already helped the brothers take revenge. Except for one boat that escaped, the other three were sunk by our troops. ”

Shi Lang heard that more than a hundred of his men had died, and slammed the edge of the bed with his right hand. "General Huang, now that the Dutch warships are no longer capable of attacking, presumably the general will send troops to attack Dayuan in the near future. I will take part in the battle against Dayuan and avenge my men. I beg General Huang to take me into battle! ”

Huang Wu heard some hesitation, "This! ”

Shi Lang jumped down and bowed and saluted: "There will be heavy thanks in the future, please!" ”

Seeing that Shi Lang, who had always been arrogant, now lowered his head and begged himself, Huang Wu sighed and said, "Well, in that case, when you return in a day, you can come along!" ”

Shi Lang arched his hand and said, "Thank you, General Huang!" ”

The East China Sea Fleet stayed in the Qiongzhou Strait to treat the wounded and replenish food and fresh water, and the lock ship "Hengjiang" returned to Yingtianfu after a one-and-a-half-day voyage.

Hearing the military report from the letter soldiers, Zheng Chenggong laughed, "Xizhi, the time has come to recover Dayuan." Go and gather all the soldiers to come and discuss it! ”

Yao Qisheng arched his hand and said, "Yes, General!" ”

In the Nanjing Mansion, the generals came one after another.

Zheng Chenggong sat on the main seat and inspected the military officials under him, and said: "The sky is not tired of chaos, and the leap position is still there, so that the momentum of my southern capital suddenly collapses. Although the Qing army won a while last year, the Qing Dynasty may not be willing to repent of the war, so my family members will be tired of marching from north to south. The year before last, He Tingbin entered Taiwan, with thousands of acres of countryside, thousands of miles of fertile fields, and hundreds of thousands of taxes. Shipbuilding tools, our people are gathered, and those who are excellent. It is occupied by Hongyi, and there are no more than 1,000 people in the city, and those who attack it can be killed. I want to conquer Taiwan, think it is the fundamental place, settle the generals' families, and then go east and west, without internal worries, and can gather lessons. ”

Most of the generals who attended the meeting heard that they were going to attack Dayuan from afar, and they were suspicious of receiving Dayuan to settle their families, and they all had a difficult face.

Wu Hao, the town of Xuanyi, said that he had been to Taiwan several times, where the Dutch "had a stake in the forts and the waterways were treacherous," and "feng shui was indispensable, and the water and soil were sick," and they did not approve of sending troops to Taiwan.

Wang Zhongxiao also said: "Taiwan has heard a lot, but I have never been there, and I don't know the situation. For example, Wu Hao's Hongmao artillery fire, if it has its name, the ship is large and there is no other way to reach, if it must advance from the front of the fort, this so-called soldier and the enemy also. ”

Yao Qisheng shook his head and said: "Everyone is worried, it is difficult for the islands to resist the Qing Dynasty for a long time, and if you want to consolidate its foundation first, and then strengthen its branches and leaves, this is the best plan in the end. Believe, the northerners also, I don't know. But in terms of personnel, Shu has high mountains and mountains, and it is still possible to climb vines and roll down; Wu has an iron cable across the river, which can still be burned by fire. Although the red hair is rude and well-arranged, is there no other way to break it? Today, when the soldiers are at leisure, it is better to unify the brigade to explore the road, and if they can be aggressive, they will attack together; If there is a stake, it is not too late to discuss. See also the management of this letter. ”

After hearing this, Zheng Chenggong praised: "This is a theory that measures the time and moves when the opportunity arises. ”

Jun Chen Yonghua also said: "Those who must do everything first, and then listen to the sky." What Xuanyi Houzhen said is that he has been through the place and carefully stated the benefits and disadvantages, which is the view of abiding by the scriptures, and he also loves the Lord, which is not wrong. As Jianwei's theory, the Daxing Boat Division went to judge the situation, and took advantage of the hypocrisy, which is the exercise of power. Try it out to the best of manpower, and cut it in the general. ”

Then, Gan Hui, Lin Xishan, Huang Wu and other soldiers all spoke in support of Zheng Chenggong, believing that the restoration of Taiwan was feasible.

The main civil and military officials were in favor of recovering the Great Yuan, and Zheng Chenggong was very happy, praising "Chaodong's words can break through the doubts of the ages", and immediately decided to reinstate the army.

In order to win Dayuan in one fell swoop, Zheng Chenggong decided to personally lead the main force to fight Dayuan.

In order to stabilize the rear, Zheng Chenggong stayed in the water division of the right admiral Hong Xu, Ying Tianfu prefect Lu Ruoteng guarded Nanjing, the Chinese army admiral Gan Hui guarded Jianghuai, the right army admiral Zhang Jin, and the left Chongzhen Yu Kuan guarded Anqing.

Wang Zhongxiao and Chen Yonghua repaired warships and prepared food and equipment.

On September 21, 1952, Nanjing Pukou swore an oath, and the swearing-in ceremony was attended by Tang Xianyue, the former secretary of the military department, Wang Zhongxiao, the squire of the military department, Lu Ruoteng, the governor of Zhejiang, Gu Chao recommended by the official department, and Shen Yanqi, the right deputy capital Yushi Shen Yanqi, Lin Xishan, the commander of the Chinese army of the water division, Huang Wu, the left commander of the water division, Huang Ting, the aid of Zuo Town, Yu Kuan of Zuochong Town, and Yang Cai, the right pioneer...... and hundreds of civil and military officials.

At noon on the 21st, after Zheng Chenggong took the oath, he led the Zheng family sailors to Luowan and arrived in Penghu at noon the next day.

On the 24th, he personally sacrificed Haiyue, inspected the nearby islands, and said to the generals accompanying him: "If Taiwan wins, then this will be the gateway guarantee." ”

Immediately, Chen Guang, Yang Zu, Lin Fu, and Zhang Zai were left to lead troops to guard Penghu.

On the 25th, Zheng Chenggong ordered: "This domain is determined to recover, and the mind is to be prosperous." The former went out to the north to beg, hated the land that had not been obtained, and returned to the south, fearing that the island would be difficult to live in, so he braved the waves, wanted to open up the unsatisfactory area, temporarily sent the army, and waited for the time. It's not for greed overseas, Gou Yan'an is happy. Pray wholeheartedly to the emperor and reach the ancestors, pretend to be the tide, and walk my boat. Er from the conquest of the mention, town, battalion generals, do not take the red-haired artillery as a fear, when watching the head of the clan from afar, and march at the end. ”

The next day, Zheng Chenggong erected a handsome flag on his ship, fired three cannons, shook the sky with a golden drum, and sailed directly to Taiwan.

Not engraved, has arrived at the deer ear gate.

Referring to history, coupled with Zheng Chenggong, he secretly drew a map of the water pattern of Luermen.

Taking advantage of the high tide, the Zheng fleet sailed down the tide through the deer ears and sailed to the bay between Geranza and Provencha (i.e., the city of Chichi).

At this time, the Dutch army in Taiwan was only more than 2,000, and the governor and the council led more than 1,000 troops to garrison the castle of Gerancha on the sandbank, and 800 soldiers defended it at Fort Provencha on the main island of Dayuan opposite the bay (then called Dayuan Bay).

In addition, there were a negligible number of troops at the chicken coop (present-day Keelung) and Tamsui, which were later concentrated in Gerancha.

The Zheng army successfully rushed to the near beach, and the arrogant Dutch colonists attempted to launch an attack on land, defeating the unstable Zheng fleet in one fell swoop.

Fort Provencha first opened fire on Zheng's ships, and thirty cannons fired in unison, filling the entire fortress with gunsmoke.

The Zheng fleet quickly counterattacked, shelling all the way, and the artillery on Fort Provencha swept hundreds of cannons and dumbed the batteries on the shore.

The landing force landed smoothly, removing or destroying the barriers to access to the inland waterway, and soon several Dutch merchant ships docked in the port sent the Zhengjia warship to the bottom of the sea.

The naval battle ended in a crushing defeat for the Dutch, and the Dutch had no choice but to send Captain Beder with 500 elite troops to attack. (To be continued.) )
