"Boom!"

With the sound of artillery, the battle to capture Penghu began. On the Penghu Islands, there were only four or five Dutch warships and more than a hundred soldiers. Yue Su gave Mao Youjian dozens of times the number of troops to fight, if he returned in vain, it is estimated that he would not need Yue Su to use the army, and Mao Youjian would feel that he had no face to see people, so he decided on his own.

Yue Su gave Mao an order to kill, in a word, he would never be surrendered, as long as he was not Chinese, he would not be killed.

Mao Youjian also acted in accordance with this order, so to speak, as soon as the warship arrived in the Penghu Islands, without firing a few shots, the Dutch saw that the situation was not right, so they raised the white flag and wanted to surrender and negotiate. However, Mao Youjian did not give them this opportunity at all, and the Dutch warships were all sunk with a heavy bombardment of artillery, and they followed the fleet to the shore and began to land and fight.

After all, the Dutch have few people, so how can two people be able to defeat thousands of court officers and soldiers, and the battle did not take an hour before the Dutch were completely annihilated.

Mao Youjian left behind twenty warships and two thousand soldiers, stationed here. This is also the explanation that Yue Su made before leaving, after capturing Penghu, he can't throw it away, this is a springboard for attacking Taiwan.

Yue Su did not have the slightest worry about Mao Youjian's attack on the Penghu Islands with his army, it can be said that Penghu is in the bag where the army goes, and there is nothing to think about.

Now he is leading his senior generals to hold a meeting in the big tent of the Chinese army of the Navy Division, and the thing they are studying is the next step to attack Taiwan.

Taiwan is much larger than Penghu, and it is inhabited by the Dutch and Spaniards. The Dutch could have more than 2,000 people, and the Spaniards were only about 500, which was a world of difference compared to the soldiers and horses that Yue Su could mobilize.

However, Yue Su did not dare to underestimate the strength of the Netherlands and Spaniards, according to Zheng Zhilong, if you want to attack the power of WN, the first thing is to catch up with the smooth water, otherwise it will be difficult. Now Yue Su's fleet is very strong, and it is expected that the other party will not dare to engage in a naval battle with him, at most relying on the forts on the island to defend to the death. Even if the landing is successful, the other party still has a city defense on the island, and with firearms, it can resist for a while. In addition, some of the natives on the island have been enslaved, and I don't know if they will see the battle at that time, and if they help the Dutch resist, then if they want to successfully recover Taiwan, the price they will pay will be even greater.

Fortunately, Yue Su now has Zheng Zhilong as a powerful chess piece in his hand, Zheng Zhilong has been entrenched in Taiwan WN, and he knows geography very well, with him as a guide, the possibility of winning is still very large, the key is just how many people die.

In the center of the tent, there is a large table, on which is covered with a map of Taiwan Wn, which has a certain description of Taiwan Wn, but mainly marks the sea area around Taiwan Wn.

Yue Su didn't know much about naval warfare, and he didn't know where it was better to land from, so he looked at Zheng Zhilong and said, "General Zheng, you said that our army wants to land, where is it better to go up?" ”

Zheng Zhilong didn't even think about it, so he pointed to a place - Jilong Port.

"Dashuai, the last general thinks that landing from Jilong Harbor is the best choice. The terrain there is easy to gain a foothold, as long as the ships approach and open the gap, our troops can calmly land. After the landing of Joncoop Harbor, a few dozen miles to the southwest, is the city of the Holy Savior built by the Spaniards, the main force of the Spaniards should be there, as long as our army breaks through the city of the Holy Savior, it is equivalent to destroying the Spaniards on the island. Then continue south, eliminating the Dutch in the south of Taiwn. Zheng Zhilong said his plan.

His suggestion, naturally, was the best idea. After listening to this, Yue Su looked at Jiang Jie and asked, "Mr. Jiang, do you have anything to add to General Zheng's suggestion?" ”

When Yue Su said this, he also recognized Zheng Zhilong's suggestion. Jiang Jie nodded slightly and said, "General Zheng's suggestion is really good, although his subordinates are not familiar with naval warfare, but observing the sea area here, they also think that it should be so." Now the goal has been set, and the difference is in terms of troops. Whether it is the Spaniards or the Dutch on Taiwn Island, they are our enemies and should be wiped out, but now that we have attacked Penghu, we are telling the Dutch that the Ming Dynasty has done something to them, and then we are going to fight the Spaniards, and at the same time, we are also telling the Spaniards that we are going to do something to them. In this way, I am afraid that the two of them will have the same hatred and hatred, and they will unite to fight against our army. It stands to reason that we should land on the territory ruled by the Dutch from the south of Taiwan, so that at least we will only fight one first, but the sea is different from land warfare, and it is very difficult to fight by detour, and we can only admit that we can only admit that we can fight against two families in one battle. In terms of troops, we must use heavy troops, and I believe that as soon as we land in Chicken Coop Harbor, the Spaniards will ask the Dutch for help and fight our army to the death in this so-called Holy Savior City. But no matter what, our army is bound to win this time, and there is no room for failure. If you lose the First World War, you will not be counted with casualties, and your morale will definitely be greatly damaged. Jiang Jie conducted a strategic analysis, and he also agreed with Zheng Zhilong's statement.

In terms of troops, since Yue Su incorporated the pirates under Zheng Zhilong, the Fujian Navy Division has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and its strength has increased greatly. However, Yue Su always felt that there was something inappropriate in mobilizing these troops to fight, and immediately ordered that 3,000 troops and horses should be drawn from the separate armies of Quanzhou and Zhangzhou to quickly rush to reinforcements.

This time, it can be said that it is a large-scale battle, and Yue Su can now see the fighting intent in the eyes of Zheng Zhilong and Kong Youde. Winning this battle is a great feat, and the adults will definitely promote it. But Yue Su felt that it was difficult, this is who to send as the main general to lead the army into battle. The idea was Zheng Zhilong's idea, and it was natural for him to lead the army, if Kong Youde was asked to lead the army, Zheng Zhilong and his family would definitely not accept it. But if Zheng Zhilong is really allowed to fight, he has made great achievements, if he doesn't take advantage of this arrogance, it will be strange. Born as a pirate, that's how temperament it is.

So after thinking about it, Yue Su finally thought that it would be safer for him to personally lead the troops. In this way, Kong Youde and Zheng Zhilong will not be unconvinced, and after winning, in terms of rewards, they can also achieve a bowl of water.

Then it's decided, and only Mao Youjian can see the good news. At night, Mao Youjian took the good news of Penghu first, and at noon the next day, Mao Youjian had already led his division back to the camp of the sailor.

Yue Su let the soldiers and horses rest for two days, and waited until the soldiers and horses guarding Quanzhou and Zhangzhou arrived one after another, and then followed the order, and all the sailors and warships were dispatched to Penghu. Yue Su now has more than 300 warships, many of which have been captured, but there are also many soldiers and horses in this operation, and the navy and army can add up to nearly 20,000 people. The ship was difficult to transport at one time, and it took three points to pull it out.

The army assembled in Penghu, Zheng Zhilong was optimistic about the wind direction and water potential, and set a date for the battle. Zheng Zhilong chose the date on July 20, and now it is July 18, and in two days, the more decisive the day.

However, on the night of 18 July, a sea ship sailed towards Penghu, and this ship said that it was not big or small, and when it was about to approach the Daming Navy, it lowered its sails.

The ship patrolling the sailor had already seen the approaching ship, and when he saw that the other party was friendly, he immediately approached it. After the two ships approached, a man in his thirties on the ship said: "This is Mr. Mabley, the Spanish envoy, who wants to ask to see Lord Yue, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang." ”

Mr. Qian, who was on the sailor's warship, glanced at the other party and said loudly: "Since you are a messenger, then please take a small boat and go to the shore with me to see the Governor." ”

"Thank you, Master Jun." The guy spoke, and after a while, he boarded a small boat with a Spaniard in a ceremonial dress and sailed towards Penghu with the sailor's warship.

Immediately after the landing, the soldiers went to Yuesu to say that a Spanish envoy had come to ask for an audience.

As the saying goes, the two countries will not fight each other, not to mention that the war has not really started yet, Yue Su also wants to see what the other party's purpose is when he comes here to see him. Spread the word at the moment, let the envoy to the Chinese military account speak. After a short time, the soldiers led the Spanish envoy Mabulé and the Han man into the Chinese tent.

When he arrived at the tent, Mabulai only bowed slightly, which was regarded as a salute, and even the Han people, like Mabulai, saluted like this. This kind of practice made Yue Su's subordinates very dissatisfied. Lord Yue didn't care, but he didn't let people take a seat, but just said, "I don't know why the Spanish envoy came here?" ”

Naturally, Mabre couldn't understand his words, and the Han people on the side immediately translated them in Spanish, and it turned out that this guy was a Spanish interpreter.

"I am on the orders of General Haraojie, and I have come to negotiate with Lord Yue, the governor of the Ming Dynasty. Governor Yue led such a huge army to stationed in Penghu, I don't know what it means? After the interpreter translated Yue Su's words, Mabulai said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

After the translation and communication, Yue Su understood what he meant, and then said loudly: "Penghu is the land of my Ming Dynasty, and the Dutch have no one in their eyes, and they dare to lead the army to invade and occupy it, which is really too deceitful, so this governor led the army to recapture it, do you have any opinions?" ”

"Of course, we have no opinion, our Spain has always recognized the Penghu Islands as the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and has never intended to snoop. The Dutch are beyond their own strength and dare to invade, and it is reasonable for your country to send troops to exterminate them, and my country of Spain has no opinion. However, now that Penghu has been recovered by your country, and your country continues to increase troops in Penghu, what is the reason? I wonder what else your country has planned? Mabre asked.

"What are you? What are the plans of the Governor, and is it necessary to inform you? However, since you have come to inquire today, it is right for the Governor to tell you. Penghu is the land of my Ming Dynasty, and whoever dares to invade will surely die. Taiwan is also the land of my Ming Dynasty, and those who dare to violate my territory will be punished even if they are far away! Now, do you know the Governor's intention to increase troops in Penghu? Yue Su said loudly in a majestic voice.

After listening to Yue Su's words, the interpreter's face changed, and he hurriedly translated it to Mabulai.

When Mabold heard this, he shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, no...... Taiwan is not the territory of the Ming Dynasty...... It is public territory, unowned territory, and whoever occupies it first belongs to him. Now it's occupied by my Spain, and that's our Greater Spain......"
