The Zheng family's combat method is somewhat similar to the blitzkrieg mode of later generations, compared with the time taken by Zheng Chenggong to recover Taiwan in history, Zheng Cai basically took no more than a day, but it cannot be said that he completely recovered Taiwan.

Because the chicken coop is just a stronghold of the Dutch, this is not the most right place for the Dutch, the real gathering of Dutch heavy troops and officials is the city of Geranza, which can be said to be the hub of the Dutch rule over the entire island of Taiwan.

If the Viceroyalty of Batavia is the largest local government in charge of the entire Oriental affairs, then the city of Geranza is also the central capital of Taiwan.

Although the news that the Zheng family has seized the chicken coop has not spread for the time being, Liu Yun, who is far away in Australia, already knows everything.

Through telegraph transmission technology, Australians can quickly transmit all kinds of information back to China, and hand it over to the domestic department responsible for intelligence analysis to break it down.

"After waiting for two months, the Zheng family finally made a move, it seems that they have indeed put a lot of thought into Dayuan Island, this battle can be seen that they are very attentive, and it will take a long time just to instigate the surrounding farmers together."

Zhao Shijie glanced at the content of the telegram, then put it down and looked at Liu Yun and said.

"What are your plans now? Whether to continue to let the Zheng family drive away the Dutch on the entire island, or to send troops to participate at this time. ”

Because he knew Zhao Shijie's plan, Liu Yun opened his mouth to ask.

"It seems that the time is almost up, the third company withdrawn from Shaoguan has been resting for a while, send them a message to get ready, and the two hundred Blackwater soldiers secretly transferred from Southeast Asia can also move."

Zhao Shijie nodded and said, his plan was to wait until the Zheng family was moved, and he immediately followed over to grab food, and a yellow finch followed.

This plan was the result of close consultation with the Army and Navy, and it can be said that it was perfect.

In order to cooperate with this operation, the navy has secretly transferred two warships from Malacca to Hong Kong. The name used is a routine change of guard, and the Zheng family knows that the Australians change their guards every once in a while, but this time the Australian warship stayed for a long time, and they didn't pay too much attention to it.

There are also 200 Blackwater soldiers who came with the warship, and the way of this operation can be said to be a cooperation between the military and Blackwater, and the two sides have already cooperated several times in the early stage, so it can be said that the cooperation model has been very mature.

The Australians took advantage of the Zheng family's dispatch of troops to Dayuan Island, and then occupied Dayuan Island on the grounds of helping their allies, as long as they quickly controlled the situation under this pretext, even if the Dutch disagreed, it would not be of much use, once the Australians occupied it. It's very difficult to get them to leave.

Moreover, the two sides had previously signed a lease agreement on Dayuan Island, at that time, due to the strong firepower of the Australians, the Dutch government actually signed such a treaty in the case of a big victory over the Spaniards, which can provide a basis for Australia's legitimate possession of Dayuan Island.

If the Dutch object, then as long as the Dutch rent is returned according to the above treaty, Australia will pay a little rent.

As for how to appease the Zheng family, Zhao Shijie had already thought about it, the fertile land on the Indochina Peninsula was enough for the Zheng family to open up. Whether they want to build a country on it or continue to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, Australia is supportive.

Zheng Cai left 300 men to send to Li Da to prevent the Dutch in the chicken coop fort from escaping, and he quickly rushed to the next target, the city of Geranza, with more than 1,000 men, which was the main point. If you don't solve there, it's dangerous to let the Dutch from the two places merge into one place.

Zheng Cai, the person who attacked most of the people on Dayuan Island this time, he didn't want to lose so much, if he lost too much, his voice within the Zheng family would definitely shrink by more than one grade.

Shrewd, he has decided to have a quick sneak attack. Taking the city of Geranza in one fell swoop can shorten your own losses.

However, the idea is good, but the reality is very cruel, and it is not so simple to take the city of Geranza. There are about 500 troops stationed there, and the number of cannons alone exceeds fifty, don't look at Zheng Cai's troops are three times that of others, but if you really fight, you may not be able to win.

Therefore, it is best to touch it quietly and take advantage of the other party's reaction to return kerosene and be caught off guard.

It's just that the Australians won't give them this opportunity, and after receiving the telegram, Liu Yun didn't take long to inform the Ministry of Defense of the news, asking them to follow the original planned situation, and President Zhou Aiguo also signed a special approval for this operation.

Hong Kong's three warships and more than 500 soldiers immediately moved and boarded the ship and headed for Tai Tak Island.

After only one night, the Australian warships driven by steam arrived at the outer harbor of Jilong, although the shore defense battery has been taken over by the Zheng family, but the backward artillery can not cause any damage to the Australian warships at all.

Not even the fur could hurt a bit, the speed of the steamship was so fast that the shore defense guns couldn't shoot at it, and before you could change the number of shells and adjust the distance, the other ship's ship had already driven closer.

And Australia's firepower was not low, two warships fired at the shore at the same time, and one went at full speed.

Li Da was dumbfounded when he saw such a situation, the speed of this Australian warship was too fast, and it must be a good thing for them to come, so without waiting for a report, he ordered to fire on the three Australian warships.

It's just that the Australian artillery is too powerful, basically suppressing the fire on the shore, so that they can't carry out coherent reloading shells at all.

The Australian officer in charge of this operation is Wei Yan, the third company has a great victory in Shaoguan, the expansion has become a fact, the promotion of the original company officer has also been determined by the Ministry of National Defense, if this meritorious service is added, then the third company will become the only He language unit, and eventually become a unit with actual combat experience, the Australian Army has not many units with actual combat experience.

Therefore, the first company was not transferred to fight this time in order to train Wei Yan's troops, and this time it was a rare opportunity.

In less than an hour, the Australian warships landed smoothly, and watched the soldiers who jumped from the ship wearing combat camouflage uniforms and black military uniforms unique to Blackwater shoot at the people left behind by the Zheng family with 1640 rifles.

The sudden attack of the Australian army also caught Li Da and the others off guard, it can be said that they did not expect that the mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches would come suddenly.

The Dutchmen in the chicken coop were standing on the walls and saw everything, and they were both happy and a little worried, for they were not sure whether the Australians had come to their rescue. (To be continued......)
