Chapter 36: Kill them all
The matter of Mongolia is not very anxious, Zhu Changyuan can let the Manchu people carry it for a while, although the military strength of the Manchu Qing is not good now, but it is not paper, and the combat effectiveness of fighting is still considerable. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Taiwan, on the other hand, cannot wait for a moment, it can be said that there is no delay, after all, the alien race is killing its own people, and the Dutch are showing off their might on the territory of China.
Is it tolerable or intolerable?
Zhu Changyuan immediately appointed Zheng Chenggong as the vanguard general, and led ten warships to set off from Riyue Island, each carrying 1,000 soldiers, a total of 10,000 people, and drove towards Taiwan.
These 10,000 people are almost the strongest naval force on Sun Moon Island.
In addition, each ship is also equipped with sophisticated artillery, as well as a lot of gasoline and diesel, and, most importantly, these ten ships were exchanged by Zhu Changyuan from the system.
In addition, the cutter suction dredger, which has been waiting on the periphery of Riyue Island all year round, has also been dispatched, but it cannot land on the shore, but patrols the waters south of Taiwan to prevent the enemy from escaping.
Before Zheng Chenggong left, Zhu Changyuan repeatedly admonished: Don't be in a hurry to make meritorious contributions, fight slowly, make overall plans, and kill Lao Tzu one by one in Taiwan, and not let any of them go.
Therefore, he kept Zhu Changyuan's words in mind, and he was always thinking about how to land, how to fight, and how to ensure that he could take the lead under the sophisticated guns of the Dutch.
Of course, as a person who grew up at sea since he was a child and is extremely familiar with the waters around Fujian, Zheng Sen naturally knows himself and the Dutch in Taiwan.
To be precise, the Dutch occupy Taiwan, which is no different from Zhu Changyuan's occupation of Jingxiang and Liaodong, and the test is not because there are many people, but because of the sophisticated weapons that scare others.
The entire Dutch contingent entrenched in Taiwan should have no more than 3,000 people at full capacity, and these people have artillery in their hands, and a large number of lackeys are on the island to serve them, so it is naturally not a problem to rule a small Taiwan.
"General. Further on is Taiwan, how do we act? ”
A pro-soldier asked for instructions behind Zheng Chenggong.
Since his departure, Zheng Sen has been standing on the bow of the ship and watching the sea, silently thinking about the enemy's strategy in his heart. There was no next order, and now the ship is already close to the island of Taiwan, and the soldiers below are also anxious.
"No hurry!" Zheng Chenggong turned his head, and a hint of cruelty crossed his slightly childish face: "These Dutch devils have killed so many Ming people, and they will naturally find it back." ”
"First sail the ship to the sea east of Fujian. It's not bad to clean up those little Rollso in West Songa, and then clean up the Dutch! ”
His meaning was obvious, to try his hand at these scattered Spanish troops before fighting a big battle.
You must know that Spain used to be an old maritime power, and the Spanish political situation supported many navigators to go on ocean adventures, such as Magellan, who was the first to sail around the world, and Columbus, who discovered the New World for the first time, although they were not Spaniards, but the promoters and funders behind their voyages were all Spanish politics.
Only in the Wanli years. Spain and England fought a fire, and their armada was routed by English pirates, and since then they have lagged behind the Dutch and Great Britain in the Age of Discovery.
However, no matter how weak they are, the dead camel is bigger than the horse, and that kind of maritime strength is not comparable to these small countries in Asia, so the Spaniards dare to plunder the coastal people of China so unscrupulously. And they are also plundering.
After sailing off the coast of Fujian for a while, he found a Spanish ship.
There were ten big ships on his side, and the other party's ships were only a few scattered small boats. There is not even artillery on it. Zheng Chenggong naturally couldn't let the duck go, and calmly commanded his subordinates to beat these gringos' boats indiscriminately, killing most of the people on board.
Seeing that the situation was overwhelming, the remaining people raised small white flags one after another to express their willingness to surrender.
Zheng Chenggong also chased and fought fiercely. Ordered the ships to stop firing, and then sent men to get the Spaniards prisoner in small boats, and then get them to the big ships.
Most of the men on several small boats were lost, and less than twenty remained, but the military position of these dozen people seemed to be slightly higher.
Zheng Chenggong waved his hand and said, "Tie them all up." Send it to the capital to dedicate it to Your Majesty, and let Your Majesty decide their life and death! ”
"Don't send us to Jingshi, we'll give you silver, give you money, and let us go, okay?" A Spaniard opened his mouth to speak Chinese that was not fluent, as if he were constipated.
They know very well in their hearts that if these officers and soldiers are bought off now, there is still a way to live, and if they are really escorted to the capital division of the Ming Dynasty, they will really be dead and alive.
"Huh?" Zheng Chenggong's face sank slightly, and he said, "So much nonsense, palm mouth!" ”
Then the soldiers came over, crackled and slapped ten times, spitting out the blood of the Spaniard.
Although the Spaniard was beaten in the mouth, he still opened his mouth wide and said: "General, what we said is true, you let us go, we give money, we have a lot of silver." I don't want to go to Jingshi, your emperor will skin me. ”
Zheng Chenggong didn't hit him this time, looked at these Spaniards, thought for a while, and asked: "Our Majesty is benevolent and righteous, and virtuous to the people, and will not peel off your skin, you can rest assured that you will go to Jingshi." ”
The man was about to cry, and said, "General, don't lie to us, I have long heard that your majesty once skinned people alive with mercury, it's, it's just, it's 。。。。。 Inhuman. ”
Zheng Chenggong smiled, with an expression on his face, looking at the Spaniard, his face suddenly tensed again, and said: "Knowing the majesty of my family's son of heaven, you dare to plunder my people like this, you are really bold." ”
Now the Spaniard was silent.
Zheng Chenggong asked: "How many of you are there, where are they hiding, and where are all your stolen goods?" ”
The man replied truthfully: "General, there are more than 600 people in a village in northern Taiwan, and the villains planned to plunder again and then go home, but they didn't expect to run into the general's army. ”
"Lead the way, if you take me to the place where you are hiding, I won't kill you, otherwise, hehe!" Zheng Chenggong pulled out his knife and cut off the head of a Spaniard next to him, saying, "Just like him." ”
The Spaniard trembled with fright, and said secretly: You just said that you would kill me, you have to make such a big analogy, you will scare me to death, you will scare me to death.
"Okay, as long as the adults can let me live, I'm willing to lead the way for you!"
"Let's go"
Zheng Chenggong wiped out the pirates off Fujian, and then led the fleet eastward, landing at a large mountain near the sea in northern Taiwan under the leadership of the Spaniard.
It was evening, and it was less than ten miles away from the village that the Spaniards had spoken of.
Zheng Chenggong was not in a hurry, first tied up those Spaniards, and then threw them on the boat, and took 3,000 people to surround the target village at night.
As the captured Spaniard said, there were only about five or six hundred Spanish pirates in the area. After dark, they were lighting torches to barbecue meat and drinking, and some even sat next to teenage Taiwanese girls.
"Hey, Siri, Sludge Titicak, Gollum!" A big man grinned, then reached out and stripped a little girl next to him of her clothes.
The rest of the people laughed with lustful eyes.
Suddenly, a rocket flew in from a distance, "Whoosh! The thud thrust into the throat of the big sweat who had just stripped off his clothes.
"Who?"
All the Spaniards rose from the ground and took up their arms and prepared to resist.
"Kill!" Zheng Chenggong took the lead, holding a special firearm made by the Ming Empire in his hand, and killed him from outside the village, and then, three thousand people shouted in unison and rushed to the village.
"Bang, bang!" Zheng Chenggong fired two shots, knocking off the two pirates who were in the way.
The fire gun in his hand, although it can't kill people with one shot, is also very powerful, and the places where it is hit are all skin and flesh, and sometimes they happen to hit the key places, and if they don't die, they will be seriously injured.
The key is that the barrels of this kind of guns are made of cast iron, which can be fired at a distance, and directly used as a big iron rod when you are close.
"Bang bang!" "Bang bang!" The sound of firefighting was non-stop.
Zheng Chenggong relied on the advantage of being outnumbered and unprepared, and ended the battle after ten minutes, with more than 600 pirates killed 500 and the remaining 100 surrendered directly.
"Lay down your arms!"
After everyone put down their weapons, Zheng Chenggong ordered someone to pick them up, and then waved his hand and gave an order that seemed funny and terrifying to those Spaniards: "Kill them all!" ”
"Yes!" In the face of the unarmed enemy, the soldiers were undoubtedly excited, and after going up and plopping for a while, more than a hundred people instantly turned into more than a hundred corpses.
"You, don't talk about credibility, you're not a human, you're a murderer!"
The Spaniards shouted a curse before they died, but unfortunately it was useless, because Zheng Sen didn't understand it at all, and he didn't care.
The persecuted people in those villages trembled with fear when they saw the battle, and then wept again when they learned that these people had been sent by the emperor to save them.
Zheng Chenggong sent someone to comfort him and said, "Don't worry, the emperor has sent someone to rescue you, you don't have to worry!" ”
When he returned to the boat and saw more than a dozen Spaniards tied up like zongzi, Zheng Chenggong went up and rewarded each of them with two big-footed girls, and said viciously: "You Xisongya people, it's really hateful!" Send them all to Jingshi and dedicate them to Your Majesty! ”
The guy who had just betrayed his friend had straight eyes and shouted heartbreakingly: "You, you, how can you talk and not count?" ”
Zheng Chenggong snorted: "I just said to spare your life, but I didn't say that I wouldn't send you to Beijing!" (To be continued.) )
