Chapter 626: Taiwan Turmoil

"I'm still going to say, this time it's a life of nine deaths, let's just give the red-haired ghost a little color to see. So if you don't want to go, we won't underestimate him......" Huang Degong said to the sixty soldiers of the Marine Corps.

"Instructor Huang! Are you old? Why are you talking so wordy? Huang Ding, who was leading the soldiers, interrupted him, which immediately caused them to chuckle.

Most of these soldiers were born in the boy boy camp, and they exuded vigor and vigor, and it was a good time for newborn calves to not be afraid of tigers. They are also all students of Huang Degong, and they are no big or small when they joke with Huang Degong on weekdays. And Huang Ding, the leader of the team, didn't even have a name when he first entered the boy camp, so he followed Huang Degong's surname, it should be said that Huang Degong treated him as a son.

"Be careful. Wansheng! Huang Degong said with a smile.

"Wan Sheng!" The soldiers all shouted softly and raised their clenched right fists.

Then Huang Degong watched the soldiers run to the beach and pushed the small wooden boat on the beach into the sea. It was dusk, and the sun had been swallowed up by the sea level by a side. The orange-red sunlight shone on the sea, shining with stars, Huang Degong's nose was sour, and his eyes were a little moist. Huang Degong suddenly felt a huge pain in his chest, these are good boys!

After the Marine Corps of the Runing Army arrived in Taiwan, Zheng Zhilong Yinuo assigned a piece of land to the Runing Army, and moved nearly 1,000 Fujian immigrants. Later, Wu Shigong also managed to send hundreds of Henan refugees.

Relying on these people, the Runing army repaired water conservancy, opened up wasteland, built villages, and drove out the aborigines. Its hard work is difficult to communicate with outsiders. After more than two years of hard work, this place has finally begun to show its scale.

Seeing that the reclamation of the Runing Army had achieved results, Zheng Zhilong also strengthened cooperation, and moved more than 1,000 Fujian immigrants to reclaim more wasteland. And this time. What the two sides agreed on was to divide it into five or five.

There are many people and there are large people, and they already have the experience of reclamation, so the speed of reclamation of the Runing Army has been greatly accelerated, and soon, they will expand to the south of Taiwan.

In the past, there was a tacit understanding between Zheng Zhilong and the Dutch colonists, and Zheng Zhilong tacitly accepted that Tainan was the Shili range of the Dutch colonists. The two sides also have a demarcation line on the island of Taiwan by default.

However, the Runing Army was a little unimpressed by this default demarcation line, and what the Dutch colonists needed was a port along the coast of Taiwan, not a cultivated land in Taiwan's interior, and everyone did their own thing. Originally, the well water did not interfere with the river water.

And seeing the land on the other side of the demarcation line in vain, those immigrants are also distressed! One can imagine the feelings of Chinese peasants for the land. So, the immigrants spontaneously crossed the demarcation line and went to the Dutch colonists to clear the land.

And the person in charge of Runingjun and Tuntian Zhuangzi is, of course, encouraged, and did not pick up this ownerless windfall. That's going to be thundering. Even Zheng Zhilong's side acquiesced when they knew it, because they could still divide half of it.

You can imagine what happened next. What would the Western colonizers do with these peasants? I don't need to introduce it too much. Anyway, a few lives were killed.

But the Dutch colonists did not expect it. They did not encounter the colonies of Africa and Southeast Asia, but the aggressive Runing Army, and these immigrants who opened up the wasteland were originally established in the style of the Runing Army's Tuntian Zhuangzi, so they immediately attracted the retaliation of the Runing Army.

First, several lone colonists "mysteriously" disappeared, and then even a large group of colonists were attacked, and they arrived in Zuihou. Even the locals who were doing business with the Dutch colonists and transporting civilian supplies were attacked by the Runing Army. If it weren't for the fact that the Runing Army would always have to sell Zheng Zhilong some face, and Zheng Zhilong, at the request of the Dutch colonists, was transporting goods to the past at the same time. They also brought some civilian supplies, and those Western colonizers were about to run out of food.

So the Dutch colonizer's governor in Taiwan gathered more than 700 soldiers from the fortress, local armed civilians and Western sailors, wearing plate armor and armed with firearms, to sweep up. They thought that the legend of hundreds of such soldiers defeating tens of thousands of natives armed with primitive weapons was about to be staged again.

However, the Dutch colonists did not expect that the Marine Regiment of the Naval Division would immediately gather more than 2,000 troops and a team of more than 2,000 people, still have firearms, and still use the Western phalanx to start a big battle with them.

Although the Dutch colonists almost had one firearm per man, most of them were not soldiers after all, so when the Runing Army and the Dutch colonists "lined up to shoot", they had already collapsed.

After that, there was a one-sided hunt. If it weren't for the artillery cover of the fortress, they would have been wiped out. But even so, the Dutch colonists eventually fled back to the fortress with just over 300 men.

But in this battle, the Runing Army also suffered more than 200 casualties, including hundreds of casualties among the Marine Corps of the Marine Division, which stood at the forefront. You must know that there are only 1,000 people stationed on the island of Taiwan in the Runing Army, and there are only more than 500 people on the island at this time, excluding those who are on the ship for "practice" and escort.

As a result, Huang Degong, the supreme commander of the Runing Army, was immediately furious, and he ordered the beheading of more than 200 Dutch colonists including the Dutch governor. What kills prisoners or not, in Huang Degong's eyes, such a weird-looking thing as a Dutch colonist is not a human being at all.

Fortunately, at this time, Zheng Zhilong's envoys arrived in time, and they proposed to Huang Degong that they should ransom the prisoners.

The envoy was of course commissioned by the Dutch colonists, and he also had to protect Zheng Zhilong's interests. Zheng Zhilong's Taiwan policy is that the Zheng family is dominant, while the Dutch colonists and the Runing Army want to balance the two. And he didn't want the two families to fight and destroy the environment for trade.

So the envoy put pressure on Huang Degong, and the logistics and sea passage of the Runing Army were in the hands of Zheng Zhilong, so when it came to Zuihou, Huang Degong could only retreat. But even so, Huang Degong still took the opportunity to offer a huge ransom.

Of course, the Dutch colonists couldn't come up with so much money, so they could only redeem more than 20 officers such as the governor of Taiwan first, and the rest could only be considered later. Huang Degong was also very simple, and as soon as those people left, he tore up the remaining prisoners. It's not that they are not given a chance, and God cannot be blamed for being poor. So, this beam came to an end.

After that, the two sides continued to have small frictions anyway, but under Zheng Zhilong's strong suppression, there was no large-scale battle, and the grievances between the two sides became deeper and deeper, the Dutch colonists did not dare to go out of the fortress again, and the Runing army did not dare to approach the fortress anymore.
