Chapter 66: Forcing the door

The area of this Peace Island is about the same as the Treasure Island they occupied before, but unlike the Peace Island he remembers, it is not a small island at the moment, and there are two small islands in the east and west, mainly Peace Island, which are not connected to the slightly larger island in the middle.

Yu Xiaotian was a little puzzled by this, but after thinking about it for a while, in the past few hundred years, natural changes and the continuous accumulation and construction of people in later generations are likely to link the other two small islands and the main island of Heping Island together, forming a whole in the concept of later generations.

At the moment, there is little human influence here, so it is not surprising that the three islands are not all connected, but on the whole, the main island of Heping Island is still the main existence here.

After Yu Xiaotian carefully observed the surrounding terrain, just like the opinion that the black head told him when he went back, Jilong Bay is indeed a natural place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

If the people who control this place are strong enough, then they only need to build three forts and set up a few heavy cannons at the island of peace and the promontory opposite, so if someone wants to attack the bay and not pull out these three forts, then it is basically wishful thinking.

The three batteries could control the two waterways into Jilong Bay, and any ship that tried to force its way into the bay would be bombarded by the heavy artillery of these batteries.

Even if the enemy can pull out the three forts in the area of the bay mouth and enter the bay, and the chicken coop bay itself is surrounded by mountains on three sides, as long as you choose a few easy to defend and difficult to attack places in the bay, and build a few more forts, then this place can basically be said to be impregnable.

From the perspective of the surrounding terrain, as long as a few points are controlled, no matter where the enemy lands from anywhere, if you want to capture Jilong Bay, you will have to pay a huge price, and whether you can take it or not is still between two theories.

Of course, to do all this, it requires considerable financial and human support, and at the same time, it is necessary to have sufficient resource reserves and sufficient guns to support it, and it is difficult for ordinary people to do this, even in Yu Xiaotian himself, his current financial resources and manpower are not sufficient.

It can be said that Yu Xiaotian is coveting this place now, because he wants to eat a bowl of raw rice, and if he doesn't do it, he will be choked, and in the end he won't get anything.

If he was given another two years, Yu Xiaotian felt that he should have such an ability by then, but time was not on his side, because he knew the development of this period of history.

The Dutch will definitely withdraw from Penghu this year, and under the guidance of Li Dan and others, they will land in the Dayuan area of Tainan, establish the city of Geranza there, and begin to embark on the road of colonizing the island of Taiwan.

The problem is that after the Dutch occupied Dayuan, the Spaniards also realized what kind of impact the Dutch occupation of Taiwan would have on their trade with China.

In order to compete with the Dutch and continue to maintain trade with China, the Spaniards also realized the importance of Taiwan, so at the beginning of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, they sent a fleet and army to land in Chicken Coop Bay, occupied the chicken coop, and established a so-called Salvador city on Heping Island, and simply changed the name of the chicken coop to Santiago.

Therefore, if there are no major changes in history at this time, then there is not much time left for Yu Xiaotian, and it will not exceed two years at most, and he will not wait for two years at all, and after he has developed steadily enough strength, let him come here to occupy the territory.

If that time comes, he will definitely have to compete with the Spaniards head-on, not to fight a sea battle, but also to defeat the Spaniards.

The Spaniards were the maritime powers that rose earlier in the West, although they were beaten by the British in the Battle of Calais, and their armada was almost wiped out, but the starving camels were bigger than the horses, after all, the Spaniards accumulated huge wealth when they first ran rampant in the world, and their strength was not very weak.

Two years later, even if Yu Xiaotian's strength has increased a lot, he may not be able to build a navy that can compete with these maritime powers in the world, and when the time comes, he will fight with the Spaniards at sea, what are his chances of winning, Yu Xiaotian really has no bottom in his heart.

Therefore, he carefully calculated, the sooner he started, the better, the strength of his ships at sea is not strong, then he can only hope to land here, first establish a strong stronghold, relying on the advantages of the iron fan cast cannon he has obtained so far, a large number of artillery equipment, so that he has the advantage on land first, plus the flintlock pistol will start to produce and equip his subordinates in large numbers in the future, he can have a strong advantage on land.

At that time, whether it is the Spaniards or the Dutch, if they want to drive him away from the island of Taiwan again, even if he does not have an advantage in sea strength, at least he has an advantage in land strength, and the other party will have nothing to do with him.

This is the reason why he rushed here with his subordinates to grab land at this time.

Yu Xiaotian observed the topography of Heping Island and the surrounding waters, while continuing to think about his plans in his heart.

After waiting for more than an hour, the boat that entered the bay sailed back again, and after finding Yu Xiaotian's boat, he approached and shouted: "We said that you can go into the bay to rest, but we hope that you will keep your word, don't break your promise, and after you replenish water, you must leave here as soon as possible!" ”

Yu Xiaotian sneered, asked Liu Wang to reply that he could do it, and then gave an order and sailed into Jilong Bay with his fleet.

At this time, all the sailors were keeping an eye on the situation along the coast, in case of a sudden attack from the shore, the terrain around the mouth of the bay was narrow, which was not conducive to maneuvering, and if there were enough cannons on the shore, they would definitely suffer a great loss if they fired at them at this time.

With the current situation of their ships, in fact, they only need a few large-caliber Hongyi cannons to bombard them on the shore, which is enough for them to walk away without eating.

But their worries are actually a bit redundant, if this group of small pirates entrenched here has so many Hongyi cannons, then they are probably not small pirates, they can already sweep through the surrounding counterparts and develop and grow.

What's more, the blackheads had already come here to touch it in advance, and they didn't find any forts or anything like that here, so their vigilance was just a routine measure.

There is a small stockade on a high place on the seaside of the bay, and at this time, the pirates in the stockade are all facing the enemy, and their ships are also in the main channel of the sea wolf fleet when they enter the chicken coop bay, most of them have sailed out of the bay from the east channel, and the gate of the village is also closed.

All the performances show that Zhou Feng here is very jealous and vigilant about the arrival of the sea wolf fleet, just now they must have seen the scale of the sea wolf fleet, so they have prepared for the worst in advance, on the one hand, they sent people to sail the ship out of Jilong Bay first, and on the other hand, the gate of the village was closed tightly to prevent the sea wolf from suddenly attacking it, so that once the sea wolf moved, if they couldn't keep the stockade, they could at least keep their own ships and leave a back road.

After Yu Xiaotian observed, he ordered the ships to dock in the bay and unceremoniously controlled the simple trestle, and the two boats docked directly on both sides of the trestle, one left and one right, and the personnel on board immediately disembarked and controlled the small pier.

Yu Xiaotian disembarked after a while, and the rest of the people on each ship were ordered to enter the cabin in order not to alarm Zhou Feng and his group first.

"Come on, go outside the village, inform Zhou Dangjia here, explain our identity, and ask Zhou Dangjia to come out and talk to me!" Yu Xiaotian was not verbose, while scanning the terrain of the entire Jilong Bay, he wrote down the terrain and landforms here in his mind, forming a three-dimensional image and storing it in his mind.

Someone among the guards was immediately sent by Liu Wang, and after arriving outside the gate of the village, he stood still and shouted loudly: "We are Fuzhou sea wolves!" Our big boss is here today to discuss with your boss, please come out and talk about it! ”

The minions in the village have long been nervous to death, they are very strange to see this group of people coming, very different from their usual peers, but they really want to come here some time ago, take a closer look, in this fleet, those two boats are indeed there.

All of these people were wearing indigo close-fitting suits, with leggings on their legs, but some were wearing fast boots and straw sandals, and each of them was wearing a small hat, with a palm-wide belt around his waist, and the copper buckle of the belt was polished clearly.

These people are very well-behaved, after landing, some of them go ashore, in an orderly manner, no one is running around and making loud noises, only some people are giving orders, and the rest of the people are acting according to orders, which seems to be very orderly.

If it weren't for their clothes, judging from their performance alone, the people in the village almost mistakenly thought that these people were officials and soldiers, and even the officers and soldiers had never seen such a well-behaved person, which made these people feel very surprised, and they couldn't guess their identities and origins for a while.

When someone ran to the outside of the walled gate, after reporting their identity, the people in the village knew that these people turned out to be the people of the Sea Wolf Gang from Fuzhou, although they were active in this area, but it did not mean that their news was completely blocked, so some people immediately thought of whose subordinates they were, after all, they also had the opportunity to contact people on land, or would go to land to purchase some materials, so they knew a little bit about the name of Fuzhou Sea Wolf.

Some people know that this Fuzhou sea wolf used to be just a small group of pirates who were unknown, but somehow, suddenly the boss of the Fuzhou pirates Zhang Hu overturned and dismounted, and a surnamed Yu replaced him, becoming the pirate leader in the Fuzhou area, and for a time in the Fuzhou area was very popular, and even defeated the mixed river dragon in the Funing area, and the mixed river dragon fled back to the Funing area.

So as soon as they heard that these people who came were members of the Sea Wolf Gang, they didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly asked their head Zhou Feng to come forward and answer.

(Today, I would like to thank the two brothers Iron Hand and Future Man 1 for their tips!) Anyway, it's a burn, stick to the code word! )
