Chapter Seventy-Six: The Dutch Army Besieged in a Lonely City
Shunzhi knows more clearly and understands a truth, the world is spoken by the strong, whoever is strong, who is the lord of the world! How can there be any orthodox emperor and unorthodox emperor, this is just a kind of cover for Shunzhi himself, a kind of self-emboldening! Like Zhu Di, didn't he use force to oust Emperor Jianwen from power and become the emperor himself?
Emperor Jianwen is the successor personally designated by Ming Taizu, and he was ousted by you Zhu Di, but who dares to object?
Uncle and nephew, as long as Dorgon has a strong force, he can do this! Shunzhi will also become the second Jianwen Emperor! So Shunzhi has been warning himself since he was a child, he must not be Emperor Jianwen!
Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou can see Dolgon's intentions, and Dolgon is bent on curing Shun for the sake of Lu! It's just that Fan Hong and the others know that Lu Dao Shunzhi is stubborn, he doesn't want to admit his mistakes, he knows that there is a mistake, he will never admit his mistakes, Shunzhi can know that Lu Dao Dolgon is unintentionally committed, that is kind, and he will not say it.
Hong Fan and the others felt that since this was the case, there was no need to dwell on this matter, and then continue to implement their strategy!
Fan Wencheng said: "Now Li Guo and Lu Xiangsheng are doing superficial things, and they have not fought each other, like this, Yongli is very dissatisfied." Yongli had just stripped Li Dingguo of his powers, and he had also received some money from Li Guo and Lu Xiangsheng, and he had begun to recruit soldiers, if he had given an order, in order to crusade against Zhang Biwu. That's fine! And they fought. We can watch from the sidelines, when Zhang Biwu comes back from Taiwan, he will find that what is in front of him is a mess! That's the strategy we agreed upon! ”
Hong Chengchou said: "Now is the beginning of the situation in the Central Plains. And in Zhejiang and Guangdong, Shuosai, Shang Kexi, etc. can make a move! also informed Wu Sangui. He is also the king of Pingxi of our Qing Dynasty. If you don't dare to do anything, it won't change, let him also send troops from Shaanxi, and the sudden change, just like the change of Dolgon's betrayal, will become more favorable to our Qing Dynasty, and we can also take advantage of this time to collect all the enemy troops! ”
Shunzhi nodded and said, "The most important thing is to tell those who want to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty." The so-called Da Ming is just a coward who is all fighting in the nest, has no intention of serving the people, just for himself, and even his own people can't tolerate it, like this, what hope can they have, and how can they rely on it! I was amazed and delighted by the clever plan of the two gentlemen! Ha Lu Ha! ”
Hong Chengchou said: "Let Zhu Dingxin start to encourage Yongli to prepare to bet all the men and horses on it and carry out a desperate battle!" Now is the time! The minister will also lead a large army when they are exhausted. Pack them all up! ”
What Hong Chengchou was still thinking about in his heart was: "The imperial father regent also said that now is the time to fight among the thieves. If you don't pack them all up, you won't have a chance in the future. The royal father, the regent, will also personally lead the army to follow! All the forces of our Daqing will be invested, and they can't imagine that I, Daqing, will go all out in the infighting! It's just the idea of the imperial father regent, and the connection with us can't let the emperor know about it! Alas! ”
Fan Wencheng also looked at Hong Chengchou, he was also sighing, they knew the character of Dao Shunzhi, but what could they do? Now they are just waiting for the overall situation of the world to change.
Shunzhi was still sneering and said, "Peep! The red-haired ghost actually sent someone to us, wanting us to send troops to attack Zhang Biwu, in order to force Zhang Biwu and Zheng Chenggong in Taiwan to withdraw their troops, they will give us Hongyi cannons, and warships, although these temptations are very big and very good, but what I can say is that if it were normal, I would definitely agree, but now I won't! What we want in the Qing Dynasty is to unify the whole country! Our Qing Dynasty is extremely powerful, why do we have to rely on you red-haired ghosts and barbarians? ”
Shunzhi walked a few steps and said, "Now we are treating the red-haired ghosts preferentially, it's just that we still want their Hongyi cannons in the future!" Otherwise, hum ......"
Shunzhi set his eyes on Taiwan on the map and said, "Taiwan? Isn't it just a projectile land? Do you need to make such a big move? ”
Shunzhi does not have a long-term vision, he has not been able to see Taiwan's strategic position!
Speaking of Taiwan, of course, we have to mention Zhang Biwu, it can be said that Zhang Biwu took this time to go to Taiwan to drive away the Tartars, but he did not choose the right time, although he also knew that he could not attack the Manchus again, and it was indeed a good choice to take advantage of the confrontation to recover Taiwan, but there were thousands of expectations, and he did not expect that the other side would have such changes.
Zhang Biwu naturally doesn't know the great changes in the situation on this side of Ludao, he is still besieging Taiwan here! After the surrender, he couldn't help it anymore, he wanted revenge very much, people like him were capricious, and there was no need to worry about it at all.
The reason why Zhang Biwu and Zheng Chenggong were not afraid to let Zhan Nan Shiding leave was that they wanted to adopt a siege strategy, and letting him into the city would consume more food in the city, and it would shake the confidence of the defenders of Reshalan City and make them even more unwilling to defend.
And waste like Aiming at Difficult Things, no matter how much it is, don't be afraid, it's all ignored.
A fleet of more than a dozen warships, led by Jakobkaou, consisting of more than 700 soldiers, arrived near Taiwan. Jakobkaau originally wanted to unite with Van der Laan, but when he heard the news of Van der Laan's defeat, he saw the strength of the Zheng Army's naval division that blocked the Taiwan Strait! The ships of the Chinese army are densely packed, like swarms of ants lined up on the sea, which makes people feel terrified at a glance!
Jakobkauu thought that with such advanced warships such as the Hector, and so many warships were defeated, what could he do with a dozen or so warships? If you attack again, won't you be sent to death? Thinking of this, Yakobkaau didn't want to attack, but as soon as Taiwan saw their arrival, it kept waving its flag and firing signal flares, wanting Yakobukou to march quickly to rescue them!
Jakobkaau came by order, he didn't march, he had to go to court martial when he went back, no matter how difficult it was, no matter how reluctant he was, he would at least have to attack hard!
It was for this reason that Jakobkaeu began to attack, and as soon as his fleet attacked, it was naturally attacked by the allied forces, and the Dutch invaders were already timid if they did not attack, and if they fought again, they could only be defeated.
At the beginning, it was ready to retreat, and now as soon as the battle is engaged, it is immediately retreating, but one battleship is still sunk. Jakobkau ran away without looking back, do you still want him to come back? How could it be!
Standing at the head of the city in Taiwan and looking at everything, he saw that the situation had evolved like this, what else could he say? He had to sigh incessantly.
As soon as he understood that after both fleets suffered heavy blows from the Chinese army, it would be difficult for Bavilia to gather another fleet to help, and Taiwan could only rely on itself.
He also thought of the Manchu government in Beijing, so when he was still asking for help, he also proposed to the Manchus that they should send troops to rescue them quickly! At that time, they would sell a lot of Hongyi cannons to them, but the Manchus were still using tricks, they would not send troops when the time came, and the delusion of the one could not be realized.
As the minutes and seconds passed, he could imagine that this would be the case, and he sighed, and had to pray to their god for help. But this is Chinese territory, and God can't control it! God is coming, but it can only be in vain!
A wave of pessimism and despair hung over the head of the red-haired ghost, and the red-haired ghost watched the food become less and less, how could they have been so hungry? They have expressed their dissatisfaction.
For example, the councilors are arguing every day, and they all want to remove the governor from his post and let them take over, if they are allowed to take over, Taiwan will be lost faster, and they will die even more miserably!
If he had been in peacetime, he would still be polite to the councilors, but now is the time of war, and it is a critical moment to protect Taiwan.
The shouts of the commentators still rang in the ears of Yu Yi: "Yu Yi, you will go to a military court, you will definitely be sentenced to hanging!" You're not a democratic move! You are no different from those barbarians! Democracy! We, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, are democracies! Such barbarism is not allowed! ”
Yu Yi shook his head with a wry smile, these stupid councilors, what democracy! In times of war, you don't talk to me about democracy! Democracy is a mistake! It's going to be defeated! Only the stupid will keep saying democracy and mercy in times of war!
He didn't pay attention to it, he was thinking about how to resist, but he couldn't come up with a good way to do it. Moreover, he knew that the Ludao coalition army and others were in Tuntian, and this was a long-term plan, and after a long time, they would suffer even greater difficulties in the future.
As soon as I saw that the Dutch army was completely disintegrated, everyone thought that there were no reinforcements, and the enemy had occupied most of the island of Taiwan, leaving only a lonely city in Taiwan, and it would be pointless to resist any longer, so it was better to surrender!
This idea of surrender quickly began to take over, and the Dutch wanted to surrender. Only the unyielding Yu Yi was deeply troubled by this, and he knew how terrible it was for the spread of this kind of mainstream thought! It will make everyone lose hope, and it may not be long before the city will not be able to hold it.
The red-haired ghost patrolling in the city was quite good when he was first besieged, and his mental outlook was good, but now everything has changed. One or two are all lazy, which can be described as dejected, and this is because they have been influenced by the idea of surrender. (To be continued......)
