Vanderbilt had watched the battle unfold ever since Vander's troops left the castle. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 For this purpose, he moved a chair to the top of the castle, and he sat on the chair and looked at it.

At the beginning, the Ming people frequently shelled, Van Del was forced to lead the troops to speed up to get closer to the formation, and the continuous artillery bombardment turned the tide of the battle, which Vanderbilt couldn't see, he just saw the two sides begin to fight, and the extremely fierce fighting began.

This already made him nervous, and then the phalanx of sailors on the right flank collapsed, but he could see it, and at this time Vanderbilt's heart was cold, and he knew that the battle was lost.

It didn't take a clever mind to know that the main formation where Fandel was located was about to suffer, and sure enough, the main formation, which was quickly besieged from both sides, was also defeated in an instant, and all the soldiers who were still alive were fleeing.

Seeing the Ming cavalry raging and the Dutch being slashed and slaughtered, Vanderbilt already knew that the city of Geranza could not be defended, and he, the governor of Formosa, had done it.

He counted the strength in his hand, and since Fandel had taken all the soldiers, all that remained in the castle were tax collectors, squires, priests, and other personnel, some of whom had never used weapons in their lives.

These people add up to a hundred people, and they can't even stand on the city wall, so how can they defend it.

He watched as only a few dozen of the routs fled into the castle, while the rest of the army were buried in the land a few miles to the west.

Vanderbilt was not nervous at all, he straightened his clothes and walked down the top floor of the castle.

In the field below, Li Lu gave orders one after another, ordering the soldiers to collect the wounded and take prisoners. Collect the enemy's armor and artillery.

The soldiers of the Broken Army and the Korean Army began to get busy under Li Lu's orders.

After a while, something went wrong. Several North Korean soldiers were killed in the tragic fighting because they had good brothers. In order to vent his anger, he assassinated several captured Dutch people, causing a commotion among Dutch prisoners of war.

Li Lu ordered several North Korean soldiers to be taken into custody and disposed of after the war, of course, Li Lu was quite sympathetic to them, but at this juncture, he could not fail to deal with them, otherwise the military order would be ineffective, and the soldiers might become a rabble.

More than half an hour later. All the basic convergence, the large array of the broken army began to march eastward in order, at this time the castle's artillery is not a problem, Li Lu suspects that the Dutch have a gunner to open the cannon is a problem, not to mention that he has more than 400 Dutch prisoners of war in his hands, if the castle dares to open fire, he will order to be killed.

Under the command of drums and bugles, the army formation of the Breakers marched towards the castle in a neat phalanx, and the whole field was filled with their sound.

When the great array of the Breakers came to the front of the castle with a majestic and murderous spirit, the west gate of the castle was opened, and Vanderbilt and dozens of Dutch people stepped out. He chose to surrender, in Europe. Although the strength of the battle is not strong, it is not a shameful thing to surrender in defeat, and this is completely different from the culture and tradition of the East.

Li Lu entered the empty city of Gelanza as a victor and defeated the enemy, Li Lu was of course complacent, but what he didn't know was that the Broken Army did not know how many years in advance to complete the unification of this treasure island.

The Breakers rested for five days in the cities of Geranza and Chikan, and then regrouped, except for a thousand soldiers who remained behind, and the rest of the soldiers sailed north in ships of war, and three days later arrived at the chicken coop, the stronghold of the Spaniards.

Compared with the fortified castle of the city of Geranza, the so-called castle of the chicken coop Spaniards is also a large fortress equivalent to the Ming people, in the face of the swarming Ming warships and cannons and the persuasion of the Ming people, the Spaniards finally surrendered after hesitating for a day after seeing the thousands of Ming soldiers who landed.

At this point, all the European forces of Xiaoliuqiu were swept away, and several castles and some ruined sea ships fell into the hands of the broken army after more than ten years of so-called pioneering by the Dutch and Spaniards, and more than 1,000 prisoners of war were living in a hurry in the prisoner of war camp.

The change of ownership of the city of Gerancha and the city of Chikan alarmed all the surrounding Han forces and indigenous tribes, in their opinion, the red hair with a strong city, armor and fleet was defeated in the hands of these Ming people, then the strength of these Ming people can be imagined to be strong, and it is definitely not something they can afford to provoke.

Therefore, some Ming leaders in the Anping area were the first to arrive at the city of Relanza to meet Li Lu, and expressed their sincerity to the Broken Army, saying that they would obey the orders of the Broken Army, and that they would continue to pay taxes to the Broken Army in the future.

Of course, Li Lu accepted them one by one, and said that he would reduce the original tax by three percent, which made the Ming leaders surprised and delighted, but he didn't expect this Ming people to be so easy to talk to, and they knew that the Ming people who could come to Xiaoliuqiu to reclaim were all exiles or pirates who could not survive in the Ming Dynasty, and they hated the inaction of the Ming government and the greed and cruelty of the Ming officials.

Li Lu did this in accordance with Zhao Lie's request, and of course the newly captured places should release more benefits, so that the locals can be grateful to Dade is the best.

Of course, the composition of the Ming people here is also extremely complicated, most of the Ming people have cultivated with peace of mind, and of course welcome the benefits of the Ming people's release, but some people still yearn for a career at sea, and some people are simply pirate spies, they are deeply suspicious of the arrival of this powerful Ming people, and send news to their masters as soon as possible.

Anping Town, Quanzhou Prefecture, Daming Province, the north side of the harbor of the ancient town that has risen and fallen for hundreds of years due to maritime trade, has built a mansion covering an area of more than 100 acres Zheng Mansion, and its owner is Zheng Zhilong, the general of Fujian Town, Daming Dynasty.

Now that Zheng Zhilong has unified the coast of Fujian after six or seven years of hard fighting, the so-called eighteen Zhi pirates of that year have either surrendered or been exterminated by them, of course, Zheng Zhilong has also paid a great price.

Last year, when Liu Xiang, the last major pirate force, was exterminated along the coast of Guangdong, Zheng Zhilong's most powerful brother and assistant, Zheng Zhihu, was killed.

However, all this is worth it, and now there is no force in the coastal areas of Fujian that can stop him from dominating the sea frontier, although he is still only a general, in fact, the military strength of the Fujian general army is far from it.

Zheng Zhilong now has more than 1,000 sea ships of all sizes, although most of them are Chinese warships such as Fuhai Shaniao, they are also a strong existence, and all the ships of maritime merchants who come and go to Fujian waters must pay tribute to them, otherwise it will be difficult to move an inch.

This also made Zheng Zhilong quickly accumulate a lot of money and grain, otherwise he would not be able to build this mansion that covers an area of more than 100 acres and has built a large number of pavilions and pavilions.

This morning, Zheng Zhilong had just finished his eldest son Zheng Sen's homework and returned to Sixiao Hall, and his current right-hand man Zheng Hongkui hurriedly asked to see him.

"Say what you say, say it again." Zheng Zhilong exclaimed.

"Lord Bing, thousands of Jeju Ming warships and thousands of soldiers captured Anpyeong Fort and Chikan Castle garrisoned by the Dutch people half a month ago, and then they captured the chicken coop in the north, and now Xiaoliuqiu has been captured by the Jeju Ming people."

Zheng Hongkui said in a steady tone, and what he said in a hurry to report it was a bit upside down.

"Is this true, the Dutch Anping Fort is extremely strong, and it is not so easy to capture."

Zheng Zhilong was extremely puzzled, he knew the fortification of the city of Geranza, he and the Dutch people divided and merged, it was not that he had not fought the idea of the city of Geranza, but he estimated that there were thousands of lives to fill in and capture.

Zheng Zhilong's estimation was also correct, in later generations, his son Zheng Sen led an army of more than 20,000 people to attack the city of Geranza, and indeed killed and wounded 5,000 people, and finally used the method of siege to make the Dutch surrender, which shows the solidity of the city of Geranza.

"My lord, in fact, my subordinates have received the news from the Anpyeong people there three days ago, but my subordinates didn't dare to believe it, until yesterday several sea ships that went to Gerancha to trade seafood returned, saying that they were stopped and returned by the warships of the Jeju Ming people, which confirmed that this statement is true."

Zheng Hongkui said firmly.

Zheng Zhilong was silent after thinking about it, this news had a great impact on him, and he had to think about it.

Nowadays, the number of sea ships trading from the coast of Fujian to Anpingbao in Xiaoliuqiu is increasing day by day, hundreds of ships a year, and this one can bring him more than 100,000 yuan.

Therefore, after the Jeju Ming occupied Xiaoliuqiu, of course, this trade route was cut off, and the Dutch people traded seafood to Manila, Jakarta and the Wa Kingdom, and now that the Ming people are in control, of course, this trade route is broken.

Of course, this can't destroy the foundation of the Zheng family, after all, the special location of Fujian determines that the sea ships traveling from the north and south of the Ming Dynasty must pass through here, and it is not a big deal for the Zheng family to break these silver taels.

However, what is the intention of this Jeju Ming man who came here from the north?

For this Ming force, Zheng Zhilong has been famous for a long time, and he has also seen the warships they pass by, in his opinion, the power is strong, the Xiyi battleship of one color, the Ming people can know how to build the Xiyi warship, which is a strong existence, which he empathizes.

This Jeju Ming army successively defeated the Japanese naval division, and last year they landed in the Japanese state and defeated the standing tens of thousands of the Japanese shogunate's standing stock, forcing the Japanese shogunate Ieguang to reopen the sea trade.

This proves that this Ming people's combat power is incomparable, Zheng Zhilong has experienced many years in Japan, and even the standing strength of the shogunate, to put it mildly, except for the Ming border army, other Ming armies are unmatched, and even tens of thousands of shogunate armies have also been defeated, which cannot but make Zheng Zhilong deeply jealous.

Fortunately, the Jeju Ming people focused on competing with the Japanese people in the north, and Zheng Jiaqiu did not commit any crimes with him.

This time, the Jeju Ming people suddenly attacked Xiaoliuqiu, did they want to point directly at him to pacify the Zheng family, thinking of this, Zheng Zhilong really couldn't sit still.

He immediately instructed Zheng Hongkui to step up efforts to find out the truth and purpose of the people here, and at the same time he sent people to warn Zheng Cai and other generals under his command, Zheng Jiashui, to be fully guarded in case of accidents. (To be continued.) )
