Chapter 182: A Powerful Enemy Holland

Convincing Guo Huaiyi, Xie Yi and Liu Feng quickly arranged a plan to attack the fortress of Relanza. With Guo Huaiyi's help, the Marine Division had a clearer understanding of the layout of the Geranja Fortress, and even knew the patrol time of the guards near the various gates in the city.

I have to say that this Guo Huaiyi really helped a lot. Dong Nan took the hunter commando team and more than a hundred Marine elites into the city with a fruit basket and swaggered. This time, there is Guo Huai leading the way. They can go into the city without checking with the crates where the weapons are hidden.

According to the calculation, "at each passing city gate, at the staircase leading to the next floor, near the guard point on each floor, a dozen warriors were left. Approaching the Dutch defenders with fruit as a cover.

With Guo Huaiyi by his side, the Dutch did not suspect it, thinking that it was a common man selling fruits. Don't eat for nothing, don't eat.

However, just as the Dutch defenders came over with the fruit, Dong Nan and the others took the opportunity to attack them from behind and kill them one by one. When it comes to action. More than a hundred people gathered around, and when the Dutch defenders who were taller looked down, they only thought they were grabbing something to eat.

By the time the crowd had cleared, the Dutch defenders had been silently eliminated. At the same time, the fighters of the Marine Corps had already changed into the clothes of the Dutch defenders, and due to the low brim of their hats, it was impossible to see at all. The Dutch soldier who was killed changed into the clothes of ordinary people and was helped away by the soldiers next to him.

At this qiē, the Dutch defenders above only thought that it was a common man who was injured by grabbing fruit. Not at all taken to heart.

In this way, Guo Huaiyi took Dong Nan and his party and walked around in the first layer of the fortress. As soon as you see the Dutch defenders, you can go up and greet them to come over for a meal. Some Dutch soldiers didn't eat it, so Dong Nan and others sent it over directly, and they ate it even if they didn't eat.

Soon. The more than 100 Dutch defenders in the first floor of the fortress were all wiped out and replaced by officers and men of the Marine Division. In this way, the officers and men of the Marine Division can enter the city in large numbers, but they cannot wear military uniforms, and can only change into civilian clothes.

Where did so many ordinary people come from?

It's very simple, Guo Huai's one sentence thing. He called a few foremen and asked them to take groups of people out of the city. When these civilians entered the control area of the Marine Division, Lihai was imprisoned. And the clothes came.

The first layer of the fortress took a long time to clean. It took more than an hour to finish. Mainly because of the fear of exposure, which alarmed the Dutch. Therefore, the action is very cautious to ensure that there are no loopholes.

Some of the workers seemed to see that something was wrong, but no one was idle with the Dutch, so the progress went smoothly.

As a large number of Marine Division personnel entered the city, soon the entire first-floor fortress was controlled by Marine Division personnel, and Xie Yi and Liu Feng also entered the city smoothly.

Xie Yi said: "How many people have come in?" ā€

Liu Feng estimated it and said, "There are about eight or nine hundred people!" ā€

"A little nervous!

"yes!" Fuxing nodded and said, "I'm nervous!" ā€

Xie Yi looked at the second-story city wall, and the few Dutch soldiers just now had disappeared. Soon, familiar faces looked down.

Xie Yi smiled: "Let's go!" ā€

Liu Feng looked up and saw that several of his advantageous officers were waving at him in Dutch military uniforms, smiling proudly.

"Damn! You can still laugh! , Xiao Liu Feng laughed and scolded in a low voice. said: "Lao Tzu's heart is about to flutter out!" ā€

The officers who participated in the operation were all sergeants and officers above the rank of sergeant major in the Marine Division, because their mentality was stable enough, their means were hard enough, and their actions were quick enough.

If the operation fails, so to speak. Then the Marine Division will lose seventy percent of its commanders. Then one qiē is over.

It's no wonder if you're not nervous!

The second layer of the fortress had the exception of the infantry. There was also no less artillery. But there were only a hundred or so guards standing guard outside. The artillerymen all stayed inside.

While clearing the second floor of the fortress, the third floor has already been cleared. Because no one can guarantee that the next day will not be a disaster, the sooner the better.

Since the watchtower of the fortress of Geranza was on the left side of the third level of the fortress, it had to be taken in order to allow the brigade of marines to enter the city.

The progress of the plan was very smooth, and Dong Nan and the others, under the cover of Guo Huaiyi, easily solved the five Dutch sentries on the watchtower.

The three-tiered fortress had four fortified batteries. According to Dong Nan's current manpower, there is no guarantee that he will not make a sound. Therefore, Dong Nan decided to suspend the operation and send a signal to the Marine Division outside the city first to ensure that nothing went wrong. He sent men to guard the aisles and stairs separately, and the Dutch soldiers who came out of the bunkers were immediately killed.

When the red flag was waved on the watchtower, more than 4,000 officers and men of the Marine Division outside the city hurriedly began to move, rushing all the way to the fortress of Zheranza.

The first floor of the fortress has three dings, the city gates, all on the west side. The soldiers at the city gate immediately prevented all the people and workers from entering and exiting, ensuring that the city gate was unobstructed.

The people who were working suddenly noticed the anomaly. Didn't pay attention just now. How the appearance of the Dutch defenders has changed. At a glance. A large group of heavily loaded troops rushed in from the city gate, and they were all stunned.

"All crouch! Otherwise, there will be no mercy! ā€

Oh, my God! The common people were confused, how could the Dutch speak Chinese.

didn't have time to think about it, the common people didn't dare to say anything when they looked at the soldiers rushing in one after another, and squatted down one after another. But they are all watching.

"Who told you to come up?"

As soon as the Dutch officer saw Guo Huaiyi and Dong Nan and others ascend the three-story fortress, they were immediately annoyed. Because non-military personnel are not allowed to come up on the third floor. Although Guo Huaiyi is specially allowed. However, he was only allowed to come up alone, how could he bring other Han people up!

"On the orders of the Governor, I bring you fresh fruit!"

Guo Huaiyi was already very calm at the moment, and along the way, he was still a little nervous for the first time. However, when he saw with his own eyes that Dong Nan and the others killing the Dutch were as easy as slaughtering chickens, he was also used to it all the way, so he was no longer nervous.

"I see!"

The Dutch officer picked up a couple of stabs, and then called a few soldiers out.

Guo Huai said: "Tell the other brothers to come out and get a few."

"No need!

Dong Nan made a look, and more than a dozen of his subordinates walked directly into Whale Castle with fruit baskets.

"Stop! No entry is allowed there! ā€

The Dutch officer was annoyed when he saw them passing without permission.

Then. Several other soldiers had already been put down by Dong Nan's men. Dong Nan patted the Dutch officer on the shoulder and motioned to show him.

"You guys"

The Dutch officer was dumbfounded, and several of his men were killed. Subconsciously wanted to resist, but suddenly his chest was cold, and when he looked down, a sharp blade pierced in. The Dutch officer glared at Dong Nan, wanted to shout but couldn't, and finally fell to the ground unwillingly.

After the Marine Division rushed in, Lijian rushed to the second floor under special guidance. Soon, the first and second floors were arrested. A large number of officers and men of the Marine Division rushed to the third floor, and under the guidance of the hunter commandos, they rushed into the pillboxes at the four corners of the third floor.

The shouts of killing suddenly sounded, and as Dong Nan expected, the Dutch artillery in the four pillboxes was so numerous that there was no guarantee that there would be no sound.

However, now that the Marine Division has basically taken control of the entire fortress, even if the Dutch reflect it, it will be of no avail.

Half an hour later, the Marine Division captured the entire fortress of Geranza. The Dutch defenders were captured by more than 500 people, basically all artillery, and the infantry were all killed.

"Close the city and worship!"

With an order, the gates of the fortress were closed, and the marines replaced the Dutch as the new owners of the fortress. The common people of the city also stopped working, and all went to the residential areas, staying with the Dutch immigrants, and were not allowed to move around freely.

In the office of the Governor's Palace, Xie Yi sat on the seat of De Witt, the governor of Geranza in the Netherlands. On the stool opposite was the real owner, Governor DeWitt.

"Please get out of Geranza at once!" Guo Huaiyi translated what De Witt said for Xie Yi and others on the side.

When Xie Yi and the others heard this, they were taken aback. This Governor De Witt doesn't seem to have seen the shape clearly, and he has become a prisoner in front of him, but he still has the posture of a master.

"I just want to know how many of you there are, how many troops, how many warships."

"Do you want to tell you how much ammunition and food we have!"

"That's better!"

DeWitt tilted his head to the side and said, "I don't know! "This old man's mouth is quite hard!

Xie Yi and the others couldn't even ask any useful words, turning over and over, and Devit asked Xie Yi and them to withdraw from Geranza City at every opportunity.

In the end, Xie Yi was impatient and handed it over to Chen Dali to take elsewhere to deal with.

"Don't kill him! This guy doesn't know if it's worth a million taels of silver! ā€

"Yes!" Chen Dali smiled, understanding the meaning of Liu Feng's words.

The last time he caught the commander of the Dutch fleet, Van Weit, he really made a fortune, and this time he was a governor of Dongfan, and it is estimated that the ransom will not be less.

Dong Nan said with a smile: "It is estimated that the Dutch will not give money!" ā€

Liu Feng asked, "Why?" ā€

Xie Yi said with a smile: "Last time, the principal played tricks on the Dutch, and he gave the money to the Philippine governor!" ā€

Liu Feng suddenly realized and said, "Then let's kill him!" ā€

Several people were speechless for a while, and after a long time, Xie Yi said: "Let's get down to business!" Occupy the fortress of Geranza, how can we defend it! ā€

※※

In Pentagon, Na Haonan had already learned of the Chaogang's attack on the North Harbor, and at the same time, the Dutch East India Company had sent a powerful navy from Batavia.

If only you had a radio or telephone!

Deng Haonan thought so in his heart, because the information had been transmitted back to Pentagon City a few days ago, but Deng Haonan could not be contacted at sea.

Shi Jianfei said: "According to Huang Dahai and Shi Daxuan, it is difficult for the Chao Gang to capture Beigang. Even if the Tide Gang gets in the way, it will suffer heavy losses and not be enough to pose a threat to the Marine Division. ā€

Deng Haonan walked back and forth in front of his desk and said: "We have always underestimated the Dutch, but fortunately the Dutch did not play with Zheng Zhilong, otherwise we would have lost this naval battle!" ā€

Shen Yangwei said: "I don't think the Dutch may be helping Zheng Zhilong, they should also have the same purpose as the Chao Gang, eating the fat of Beigang!" ā€

It was all caused by the fat of Beigang, and it became the object of the covetousness of all forces.

Di Haonan sighed: "No matter whether the Dutch help Zheng Zhilong or monopolize Beigang by themselves, in short, the Dutch will not wear a pair of pants with us!" ā€

Deng Haonan knew that he had offended the Dutch, and the last time he seized the Black Pearl, as well as the blackmail of Van Weitt, the Dutch government and the East India Company lost face. Therefore, no matter what the Dutch do, they will not give Di Haonan benefits.

"The fleet has just experienced a big war, most of the warships need to be repaired, and the time for the fleet to fight again needs to wait a week!"

The Dutch East India Company had built a strong naval force, and thirty cruisers alone were not something that Deng Haonan's Pacific Fleet could deal with at the moment.

"We can't go head-to-head with the Dutch Navy right now!"

Deng Haonan thought about it for a long time, but he still didn't know the bottom in his heart. The Dutch Navy is not Zheng Zhilong's old-fashioned naval division. It is a navy with rich experience in naval operations.

Shi Jianfei and others also knew that the strength of the Dutch East India Fleet was higher than that of the Pacific Fleet, but it seemed a bit too cowardly to avoid fighting.

"Why don't I take a team over and test the reality of the Dutch Navy!"

Shi Jianfei's words immediately resonated with Shen Yangwei, who said: "The Dutch Navy may not be very strong, although their main fleet is stronger than our Pacific Fleet in tonnage and firepower, but the principal captured a large battleship with a fortune ship, and the Dutch are nothing?" ā€

Deng Haonan knew in his heart that in the past, his family was thin and he was not afraid to wear shoes barefoot, so he naturally dared to fight anything. Now it's different, Deng Haonan's family business is big, and it affects the whole body. What if the Pacific Fleet suffers a defeat? That will affect the big picture at the moment. Not only will Beigang not be obtained, but overseas trade will also be interrupted, which will affect the interests of all the owners of the entire Di Haonan Group.

As a leader, Deng Haonan is under a lot of pressure

"It's good to test it! Let the first team go into battle and test the reality of the Dutch Navy. And then make a decision". Deng Haonan thought twice. Or decided to let them try it once.

"Yes". Shi Jianfei and Shen Yang were on the verge of receiving orders. Although only one team played. But they were still excited. After all, it is no longer as simple as dealing with the old-fashioned sailors, facing the Dutch Navy. It's an opportunity to hone your skills

Without further ado, Shi Jianfei and Shen Yangwei led the first team to set off that day. But. Because the Black Pearl was pierced through a lot of holes, Deng Haonan was very distressed, and he was the first to be sent to the dock for maintenance when he came back from the net, so he did not fight. In this way, the Pallas became the flagship of Team One. Accompanied by Captain John. I believe that his experience will help Shi Jianfei them.

After the first team set off, Deng Haonan immediately arranged a land operation.

The first was to increase the number of troops in Taiwan, and the remaining 5,000 soldiers of the Marine Division immediately went to Tamsui and chicken coops. Together with the 1st Cavalry Division, they set out by land and advanced south from northern Taiwan to reinforce Xie Yi's headquarters.

At the same time, Deng Haonan sent people back the news of the victory in the Heishuiyang naval battle, as well as the news that Huang Dahai had promised to release Zheng Zhilong's family.

※※

Liaodong Governor's Office, Office of the General Staff.

The news of the Pacific Fleet's victory in the Battle of the Black Water Ocean really made everyone in the Governor's Mansion happy, but Wang Zhaoyang, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, was confused when he saw the order issued by Deng Haonan later.

"Release Zheng Zhihu?"

Lin Feng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and took the order and read it carefully.

Wang Zhaoyang asked, "Zheng Zhilong's son doesn't remember. Nothing. But Zheng Zhihu is Zheng Zhilong's beneficial assistant! Doesn't the principal know that there will be endless troubles after the tiger returns to the mountain?

"You know, there's no reason why the principal shouldn't be clear."

Lin Feng glanced at the order again, and suddenly smiled: "Have you seen this order?"

Wang Zhaoyang was stunned for a moment and said, "Didn't you ask knowingly?" Of course I did! ā€

Lin Feng smiled: "This order is different from the previous one."

"Different?"

Wang Zhaoyang took it over and looked at it again. Immediately I noticed the difference.

It turned out that the last signature of Deng Haonan's order was written horizontally, and the previous signatures were all written vertically. And in the past, there would be a little bit after the signature, but this time it became a hollow full stop.

Wang Zhaoyang asked, "Is it different, does it mean anything?" ā€

Lin Feng smiled: "I think the principal is signing." Huang Dahai must be by his side

Wang Zhaoyang still didn't understand, and Lin Feng said again: "There are some things that the principal can't do, but someone must do it." There are some things that the principal can't say, but someone has to say

"That's it! I know what to do! Wang Zhaoyang nodded, many things can't be seen on the surface, otherwise there would be no word "figuring out the meaning".

"Wait". Seeing that Wang Zhaoyang was leaving. Lin Feng hurriedly stopped him and said, "Now that Zheng Zhilong has fallen, both the Wei Kingdom and the Li family can't wait to show us their favor and invite merit." You can take advantage of it."

Wang Zhaoyang was stunned for a moment, originally he was going to send someone to do it secretly, but when he heard Lin Feng say this, his mouth suddenly opened.

"Thanks!"

"Really! Remember to invite me for a drink! ā€

The news of the Battle of the Black Water Ocean passed through the Liaodong Prefecture and quickly spread to the Li family in Hirado and the Edo of the province of Kuokoku. Zheng Zhilong was finished, and Li Jingfang, the representative of the Li family, did not have a trace of pity and lamentation, and immediately thought that there was no bargaining chip in his hand to negotiate with the Liaodong Governor's Mansion.

Hurriedly discussed with the old lady of the Li family, and quickly arrested Tian Chuan's family, who had already been charged, and prepared to escort them to the Liaodong Governor's Mansion.

However, the Li family is in a hurry, and there are more urgent than the Li family. When the Tokugawa shogunate learned about it, they knew that they could no longer count on Zheng Zhilong, so they immediately ordered the arrest of the Li family and the Tagawa family, and also prepared to send them to the Liaodong Governor's Mansion to appease the anger of the Ming Dynasty.

The Lee family could not compete with the Tokugawa shogunate. Not only did they not get the "Tan" family, but they were also arrested by the Tokugawa shogunate.

Li Jingfang was not in Hirado, so he was spared. However, Li Jingfang can only turn to the Liaodong Governor's Mansion for help, hoping to severely punish only Tian Chuan's family. Let them go of the Li family.

Li Jingfang's request to see Lin Feng was refused, but he understood some extraneous meanings from Wang Zhaoyang's hints. So Li Jingfang returned to Hirado and suggested that the Tokugawa shogunate could appease the anger of the Ming court as long as they killed the Tagawa family and Zheng Zhihu.

The Li family is a Hirado family, and has something to do with the Toku" shogunate. Therefore, the Shogunate agreed with Li Jingfang's mention yƬ. On August 5, Zheng Zhihu, Gan Hui, and some of Zheng Zhilong's sworn friends were released by the Liaodong Governor's Office and sent to Hirado by boat. Before leaving. deliberately in broad daylight, the whole Liaodong knew about it. And told them that this was Deng Haonan's grace to them.

Although Zheng Zhihu, Gan Hui and others were disdainful, knowing that this was deliberately done by Deng Haonan for outsiders to see, they also had to admire. The crowd was sent back to Hirado and immediately detained by the Tokugawa shogunate. Gan Hui saw that the situation was not good, so he took advantage of the chaos to escape.

Morality. The next day, the shogunate beheaded Zheng Zhihu and the others, along with Tagawa's family, at the mouth of the market, and informed everyone that they were the main culprits for dragging the country into war.

Subsequently, the Liaodong Governor's Office praised Li Jingfang and released the only son of the Li family, Li Guozhu Hui, Hirado. After Gan Hui learned about it, he combined what happened before and after. immediately understood that it was the Li family who betrayed them.

The next day, the Liaodong Governorate negotiated with the Tokugawa Shogunate without any room for maneuver, and the 21 Articles could not be changed and must be fulfilled. The Tokugawa shogunate was annoyed. thought he was deceived by the Li family. So on the third day, the Li family was beheaded, and even Li Jingfang did not escape.

In this way, this incident has nothing to do with Deng Haonan and the Liaodong Governor's Mansion from now on. However, later historians extrapolated according to the background of the time and believed that there were quite a lot of possibilities, so this matter became a big unsolved case. D
