Chapter Seventy-Two: Powerful Dutch Reinforcements Arrive

The dense shells bombarded the enemy castle, but it did not achieve the desired effect, and the strength of the enemy's castle is really amazing!

Zheng Chenggong understood, and he said to Zhang Biwu: "King Qi, I heard that the red-haired ghost uses granite to build the castle, and the craftsmanship is very good, and he does not hesitate to spend ten years to build it. Their move is to guard against the landing of Chinese troops on the island in order to recapture Taiwan, so as to achieve their goal of occupying Taiwan by force. In this case, our artillery will not be able to destroy their castle at once! If you continue to fight like this, it will be wasted effort! And if the soldiers attack, the casualties will be very large! ”

Facts speak louder than words, after Zhang Biwu saw it, he was also sighing, it seems that the attack is not good, and the only way to besiege it is to use it.

Zheng Chenggong knew that Zhang Biwu also figured it out, Zheng Chenggong also found a chief, and knew that Taiwan had suffered a famine in recent years, and the grain output was greatly reduced, and because of the rampant expropriation of the red-haired ghosts, the Taiwanese people were reluctant to farm.

Therefore, food will become a problem, and if people are transported from Fujian or Xiamen, it will be very expensive and the distance will be long, which is not very suitable. Food is also in short supply on the other side!

Zheng Chenggong used to think that there was a lot of food in Taiwan, but he never thought that Taiwan had suffered disasters in recent years, and there was not much food, and it was looted by red-haired ghosts, and the people's lives were not very good.

Zhang Biwu is also worried about this, what way should he think of to raise food? And let the people of Taiwan also enjoy the benefits? You can't rob them of their grain, otherwise they will lose the support of the people, and they will not be able to stand firm in Taiwan.

Zheng Chenggong put forward a suggestion - Taiwan is rich in land. As long as the military cantonment is implemented. Let the soldiers stand guard to develop. It is possible to obtain a lot of grain, and in the future, Taiwan will be able to become a big granary for the supply of grain in the rear.

Maybe when the grain has not yet been harvested, the red-haired ghost has already been defeated, but this tuntian can make Taiwan a big granary in the rear, and this must be done!

Zheng Chenggong's idea was agreed by Zhang Biwu, Zhang Biwu was very happy, and he and Zheng Chenggong jointly announced the order of Tuntian to the whole army.

Zheng Chenggong had people ride horses to plant flags. As long as it is within the radius of the flag, the land of the flag planter on horseback is the land of the person who planted the flag, and future generations will always inherit the land he has acquired. Zheng Chenggong also proposed to everyone that three points of the harvested grain should be handed over to the army, three points for self-collection, three points for the people of Taiwan, and one point for Zheng Chenggong's general's mansion.

All the farming tools and cattle were distributed by the general's office, so that the soldiers could start the cultivation. Reclamation is a long-term solution, at the same time. Also closely monitoring the sea area from the outside in case Dutch reinforcements arrive.

Reinforcements from the Netherlands did not arrive so quickly. On the contrary, Ji Liuqi arrived first. Zhang Biwu brought Ji Liuqi to him, Zhang Biwu looked at Ji Liuqi and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Can I help you? ”

Ji Liuqi replied: "Lord, something is wrong!" Our family is in full swing! Because the emperor has repeatedly ordered our army to attack the Manchus quickly and recover the Holy Capital. The emperor was so anxious that he wanted to sit back in the Forbidden City in Beijing again! And there are a lot of rumors that are not good for the lord! My lord, if you don't go back, there will be a lot of trouble! ”

When Zhang Biwu heard this, he also felt that this matter was urgent, so he asked: "How is Li Dingguo's attitude?" What does he think? ”

Ji Liuqi said: "The king of Jin still speaks for you, but the emperor just doesn't trust it......"

Ji Liuqi didn't finish his words, Zhang Biwu just smiled happily and said, "Okay! That's it! As long as Li Dingguo doesn't have any bad thoughts about me, that's fine! Ha Lu Ha! ”

Ji Liuqi looked at Zhang Biwu incomprehensibly, and Zhang Biwu said: "Ji Liuqi, as long as everyone in the Great Western Army has no opinion on me, they will know that I am dedicated to the country!" Even if Yongli is unconvinced, how unhappy is it, so what? Moreover, this time the Manchu Qing Dynasty sent troops to seize Beijing, which is a trap for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it will end up with a loss of soldiers! If I go back, it's not good! I'm not going back! All right! Ji Liuqi, you don't think you've ever been here! I don't know the edict of the eternal calendar! ”

Ji Liuqi couldn't help but be embarrassed, and said: "But how to ......" Zhang Biwu was still very relaxed, and said: "Ji Liuqi, with Lu Xiangsheng, Gu Yanwu, and Xuan Jianhao, do I have anything to worry about?" They'll be able to handle this! You don't have to worry about it! ”

Zhang Biwu said so, what else can Ji Liuqi do? He had no choice but to sigh, and at the same time, he also said, "Qian Qianyi has come to vote for us......"

Zhang Biwu looked at him and said, "Qian Qianyi? He had voted for the Manchu Qing Dynasty before, and his wife Liu Ru was ......" When Zhang Biwu thought of Liu Ru is, he couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart and said: "Okay! Since he is here to vote, let's treat him well! ”

Speaking of Qian Qianyi, Zheng Chenggong's eyes lit up, because when he was studying in Guozijian, Qian Qianyi was Zheng Chenggong's teacher.

And Liu Ru is deeply committed to the national righteousness, she repeatedly persuaded Qian Qianyi not to surrender to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, to damage her reputation, and also said that Qian Qianyi Kong is a famous man at home, but he can't oppose the Qing Dynasty, but surrender the Qing Dynasty, and there is no manly action.

Under the influence of Liu Ruyi, Qian Qianyi was determined to do it anyway, he persuaded Zheng Chenggong to restore the Ming Room and drive out the Tartars! He and Zheng Chenggong both corresponded with letters.

Zheng Chenggong said, "Master, is he an old man?" Ji Liuqi replied: "Okay! Very good! It's just that he's been talking about resisting the Qing Dynasty! In this way, Zheng Chenggong is at ease.

Zhang Biwu looked at Zheng Chenggong, he could get Qian Qianyi's investment, this step was very good, a blessing from heaven, and the relationship with Zheng Chenggong was closer.

In fact, Zhang Biwu still has some attachment to Liu Ruyi in his heart, but it's a pity that Liu Ru has become Qian Qianyi's wife, and there is no way to think about it, so he has to give up.

Ji Liuqi said goodbye and went back, he wanted to promote Lu Xiang to the next level, no matter what, he couldn't send troops, if he really couldn't resist, he would entrust the false snake and send some people to serve in the army. Work is not contributive. That's it.

In fact, Zhang Biwu didn't know that Lu Dao, Lu Xiangsheng and others were about to face a danger. This has to be explained.

Not long after Ji Liuqi left, he received the latest situation, and a Dutch warship appeared in the sea area! The Vanderlander fleet has been ordered to save Taiwan!

If Ji Liuqi had gone a little slower, he would have become a prisoner of the Dutch warship! Thankfully, he walked a little faster.

As soon as Zhang Biwu and Zheng Chenggong received the alarm, they immediately gathered a large army and prepared for a decisive battle with the Vanderlaan fleet.

Vanderland's fleet had thirty warships, but there were hundreds or thousands of wooden sailing ships! No matter how advanced it is. He didn't dare to attack rashly.

Moreover, when he first came to the battlefield, he found that he did not dare to go to sea, and the control of the sea had been seized by Zhang Biwu and Zheng Chenggong. And on the shore there were three Dutch warships, and it was the Ming army who looked at the battleships. From this, it can be seen that the warfleet of the first and the coalition forces had a fierce battle, and they were defeated, and even the battleship was captured by the other party.

Seeing this, Vanderlaan and his men were frightened, and they had to think carefully about the possibility of going to war again. What are the odds of them winning?

When he saw the arrival of Vanderrain's fleet, he was overjoyed. He constantly signaled to the VanderLane fleet to quickly launch an attack on the coalition forces to relieve the siege of Taiwan.

Even if he sent out more signals, Vanderlaan didn't even pay attention to them, he just didn't move.

This makes the red-haired ghosts in Taiwan feel extremely disappointed, and the reinforcements are afraid of the enemy, so what else is there to hope for? It's so frustrating!

When Zhang Biwu and Zheng Chenggong saw this, they knew everything, Vanderland was scared, he was a coward, if he really had the courage, he would attack immediately. As long as Vanderland tastes the bitter fruit, he will flee immediately, and in the future, it will be even more popular that the Ming army is powerful, so that the red-haired ghost will not dare to regain the wolf ambition of occupying China.

Zhang Biwu and Zheng Chenggong did not attack Van der Lane these days, that is to formulate a comprehensive battle plan, if they do not fight, they will win.

This time the whole army was to be boarded, and only a few of them were stationed on the shore to guard against the red-haired ghosts in the castle.

Zheng Chenggong left Yang Ying, Wang Daxiong, Chen Python and others to guard, while Zhang Biwu left Huang Qi, as long as the red-haired ghosts in the enemy city dared to come out, they would be resolutely eliminated. Yang Ying and others said that they would not lose the place they occupied with the spirit of raising their heads to see them.

A fleet of ships covering the sky and the sea has appeared! Vanderlaan was stunned, he had never seen such a large fleet! The Chinese are terrible! Their crowd tactics make people tremble! Even if their weapons and ships were not so advanced, this kind of oppression that came first was almost overwhelming.

In the face of such a situation, he can also explain how powerful and huge the Chinese army is, and China is a giant that is invincible and cannot be opposed to it for the time being. In this way, won't Vanderraan be able to push everything away?

The above point is the most unpleasant, and he can't save Taiwan's plan, of course, if he can, Vanderlaan will still do his best to save it.

Zheng Chenggong summoned Chen Guang and Chen Chong, and asked them to show the spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice, to attack and fight, where the red-haired ghost has the most fierce artillery fire, which of his battleships is the most ferocious, it is specifically the battleship facing him.

Hector was a battleship that played a great role in the Dutch War of Independence and played a key role in the Dutch struggle for maritime supremacy.

At that time, the Spanish navy was the most powerful navy in the world, but it did not have the upper hand in the battle against the Dutch navy. On the contrary, they have been at a disadvantage in the battles again and again.

And the Hector is even more famous, sinking several famous Spanish warships, it can be said that people in the world will tremble when they hear the Hector.

And now Zhang Biwu and Zheng Chenggong are going to lead the wooden sailing ship to challenge the half-wood and half-iron battleship with a steel deck, which is a dangerous battle.

"The enemy is on fire!" The general beside him pointed to Vanderland in the distance and said.

Vanderlaan saw it clearly and said, "Oh! The enemy troops are still on sortie! All right! Let's catch it! The artillery concentrated its fire to sink a few of the opponent's ships first, presumably able to make these barbarians retreat! ”

With Vanderland's order, all the guns on the ship were fired in unison, especially the Hector's artillery fire was very fierce, and its target was obvious.

When Chen Chong and Chen Guang saw each other, they couldn't help but be overjoyed. Chen Guang said: "The surname of the country has made a fate, even if we die, we can't retreat!" We must show the prestige of the Chinese! Let the red-haired ghosts always remember, including their descendants, that there are great Chinese in the far east! They are never to be bullied! ”

Chen Chong commanded his ships to fly towards the Hector first. Chen Guang was not far behind, and they followed suit, and they concentrated more than 60 large ships to specialize in the Hector, and wanted to leave this warship, which is known as the most outstanding and the most advanced warship in the world, in the Taiwan Strait forever, so as to prove the invincibility of the Chinese people!

"What!" Van der Laan was so shocked that he didn't dare to say a word, his eyes widened and he stared at more than 60 warships rushing towards him!

He said, "The barbarians are all crazy? They know that my Hector is the most advanced and excellent warship in the world, and they still want to come? Aren't they sent to death? Shoot me! Sink one of the enemy's ships first, and the enemy will be afraid! They'll scatter! ”

I have to admit that there are a group of the best gunners in the world gathered on the Hector, they have participated in many naval battles, and their gunnery is accurate, and they can hit the target accurately.

No, they're calibrating it, it's confirmed, fire! "Boom! Boom! "One shell after another whizzed towards a ship.

First, a shell exploded on it, and the soldiers of the sailor division were blown away, and they were crying out in mourning.

Vanderlaan cried out in ecstasy: "See? This is the firepower of our proud Dutch Navy! No one in the world can stop it! What the Spanish Navy, what England is our cannon fodder! Even you, the ships that are a hundred years behind us, will not be our opponents! Ha Lu Ha! ”

The generals around Vanderlaan all shouted, "Yes! The commander is right! No one in the world can beat our mighty Dutch navy! Ha Lu Ha! Look at these poor creatures! ”

Is this really the case? (To be continued......)
