Half past five the next morning.

Under the gaze of many traversers, all the security team members gathered in the camp, lined up in an orderly line to the pier, and boarded the landing craft. Later, more than 100 traversers who acted as militia also followed the Purple Water, and they were to be the support team. Two landing craft and the Purple Water set off towards the Commander. There is also a luxury yacht with soy sauce.

originally wanted to hold a solemn departure ceremony, but let Wu Jianqiang refuse.

"What kind of expedition ceremony, I've seen a lot, and I like to do this only when I fool others to send them to death. This is our job, you know? It's the job we chose! Why don't you workers go to work and have a ceremony?! Don't be useless, our security team will meet you in the city of Geranza! ”

The White Heart of the Ocean is back!

There were only four people on the yacht, including Wu Dapeng, Sun Defa, Jianguoan, and Li Ziqiang, and their special adviser Lin Weisheng. Song Shida was forced by everyone to stay at the estuary base. Judging from his performance on the first day, he played the role of the big butler very well, so please continue. Leave them with two Gatlings and two three-seven guns. Everyone is young, and almost everyone has been issued a pistol, so there should be no problem, right?

You can't be copied back, and you can't lose a nail.

Now that the board of directors has made the final decision, the command on the battlefield is all vested in Wu Jianqiang, who is just watching from the sidelines.

Sun Defa deliberately lowered the speed of the voyage and controlled it at about 12 knots, in order to be able to keep up with the fleet, otherwise it would be useless to rush to the front.

Moving dots appeared on the radar display one after another. It seems that the tax-paid fishing boats are starting to fish. Every year from October to January of the following year is the fishing season in Tainan, and now it seems that it has a long history.

Fishing boats don't care, and merchant ships resolutely hold back. This is their predetermined haodejihua.

As the flotilla sailed towards the captains, many of the fishing boats panicked and desperately avoided them. Li Ziqiang, who was holding a telescope and looking at it, whispered, "What are you running?" Shoot your fish! ”

After driving for more than an hour, Wu Jianqiang kept looking at his watch, and now there were only twenty minutes left in Zuihou, and he was about to arrive at the city of Geranza.

Along the way, there were only fishing boats, not a single merchant ship.

He kept scrolling through the information he had read countless times, and this period was the peak of trade to Batavia, so why couldn't he see it along the way? All fishing boats? Is there a conspiracy?

In the modern inconspicuous fleet, but in 1649 they existed like demons and monsters, struggling to move forward. It's as unscrupulous as a few hooligans rushing into the crowd of students who are leaving school, ignoring the squeaks and screams of the students.

Getting to the city of Geranza as quickly as possible is the key.

Governor Oward meets with Chief Guard Harper in his office.

"Mr. Harper, I have changed my mind, we do not allow the Ming merchants to go to Batavia. We bartered them with sugar and rice and venison, and if necessary, we could use the taxes. ”

"Honorable Governor Oward, we have just enough rice—"

"Yes, shrewd Mr. Harper. Your previous governor miscalculated that he only stipulated that the king should pay 50 percent of the tenant's rent, and forgot to calculate that 50 percent of the tenant's harvest should be tithe.

Also, tell Selwyn that guy not to always try to blackmail the poor fishermen, they have all taxed the mullet by the tail, and it is perfect, so that he can put some of his energy on land. The Ming people are really cute, they always find a way to reclaim the land and let themselves grow their crops. Let Selwyn wait for them to harvest and collect the taxes. Then the food will be available. ”

"Haode, Mr. Governor, as you wish."

"Also, tell the guy who wrote the diary not to write about our little faults. In 1646, one of our lovely soldiers had just robbed them of a sheep, and he had to write it down, which was ridiculous. Next time, don't remember this, but write more about how we can help the aborigines live a civilized life, accept the desperate mainland Ming people, and let them live in peace. ”

"Haode, after I've informed those merchants, go find Claire."

Ever since Governor Oward took office, the city of Geranza has held a formal opening ceremony every morning at seven o'clock.

The opening ceremony took place at the largest gate in the middle of the castle on the first floor.

Thirty-two soldiers, twenty-eight arquebusiers and four halberders. With their iron helmets on their heads and bright armor on their bodies, they lined up in two neat lines, marching out of the city gate with the steps of soldiers to the solemn sound of trombone and snare drums, and then automatically divided into two rows and stood still.

On the walls of the first-story castle and the second- and third-story castles in the northeast, there were also 300 soldiers lined up in three teams to patrol back and forth.

If it happens, a soldier's armor can refract the morning sun far away, dazzling the eyes.

On the roof of the governor's office on the third floor of the castle stood a ten-metre-long wooden pole with a Dutch tricolor flag with the company's logo.

In the early morning breeze, it flutters gently, with a kind of pride, but also with a kind of majesty.

At this time, those Ming merchants who gathered around the door and waited to pay taxes or apply for permits, their eyes were more respectful, and their expressions were full of panic when they spoke. Even in the square in front of the city of Reshalan, the aborigines who watched from afar unconsciously bowed to the soldiers at the city gate.

The arrogant Harper slowly walked out of the doorway. He loudly announced the governor's order to the crowd, and the interpreter translated loudly. The merchants in the crowd began to stir up a little and wanted to eat all their goods?!

Harper watched their expressions fiercely, trying to see which one dared to show resistance.

Suddenly, someone shouted in the distance and started running around.

Want to rebel! Harper's first reaction was anger, and he immediately drew his sword and jumped onto a nearby rock to find out the cause of the commotion.

Oh my God, he wanted to shout too. He saw three strange ships rushing towards Relancha!

Twenty minutes is as long as a year for Wu Jianqiang.

When he finally reached the sea opposite the city of Geranza, his heart was beating for a while. At a glance, the first thing I saw was five tall merchant ships docked at the dock, and all the sails were down, like beautiful women in the bath naked. Look at them tall masts, haha, they're all merchant ships!

Almost all of them were in a bit of a commotion, and almost all of them could make out the characteristics of the ships of this period, and almost all of them could identify the type of ship.

There were no large warships, just four plywood ships of less than 500 tons, and although the gun windows on their bodies were closed, the guns on the deck told others that they were battleships. Their sails were also lowered, like four ducks clustered against the shoreline of the pier.

Where did their 800-ton battleship go? It may be in Keelung or Tamsui. Actually, it's even better if it's still there. One pot is served, saving two times. There are also six ancient Chinese ships that can be seen at a glance. Two Fu ships and four Cantonese merchant ships.

Wu Jianqiang looked at the city, and there was no strange feeling at all. It has appeared many times even in dreams.

He solemnly picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Lu 1, Lu 2, press Jihua to land!" Then he waved at the captain of the Purple Water and motioned for him to point the bow at the four warships.

"Gun emplacements ready! Get ready to launch! ”

Lu 1 is in some trouble. When it rushed to the shore of Xiangshang, northwest of the city of Geranza, the water level was lower than the information gave them, which made it more than 300 meters ashore.

E Yuxi patted Captain Lu 1 on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, the terrain map given by the staff officers when I was fighting was often inaccurate. ”

He waved his arm vigorously and shouted, "Brothers, go, go and meet the Dutch soldiers!" ”

He wears sunglasses like his brothers, not to pretend to be forced. Rather, the sun was shining on them from the direction of Relan City.

The brothers began to jump, without the expected machine-gun bullets and dense barbed wire.

After shouting, E Yuxi took out the chewing gum rationed for himself and stuffed it into his mouth, which tasted very good, orange-flavored.

“GO，GO！” The gang ran to the shore.

E Yuxi did not rush forward, because there was no one on the shore.

These kids have watched too many movies to get so excited.

For this landing, the board of directors showed them almost all the movies about the landing many times before they blurted out English. However, he also felt that shouting GOGO in this kind of scene was more appropriate than shouting anything.

Lu 2 is much better than Lu 1, landing from the southwest is farther than Jihua Zhong, less than 50 meters to grab the beach. The security guards who rushed ashore immediately set up a mortar position according to Jihua, and the three mortars were ten meters apart, and after measuring them with a benchmark, they quickly fired at the battery southwest of the city of Geranza. Suddenly, there was a smoke of gunpowder on the fort in the southwest of the city of Relanza, and a loud sound that this shijie had never had before.

In the model given to them, they had three batteries in this direction, presumably thirty-six-pounder guns, otherwise it would not be enough to block the Taijiang Inland Sea. By the inference of physics, it is entirely possible to hurt them. So killing them is a must, no need to ask for instructions.

Lu 1's E Yuxi became anxious when he saw that the 2nd detachment in the distance took the lead in firing artillery. He shouted: "Did the mortar crew eat dry food?!" Set up your position! ”

As soon as the crew of the artillery crew ran to the beach, they immediately began to set up positions. At this time, the sound of artillery sounded on the northwestern battery, and a large puff of white smoke rose from the northwest battery. Hearing the sound of cannons, and it was still the direction he was responsible for, E Yuxi's face turned green. But then the fort fired another shot, and E Yuxi's eyes immediately turned red, and he howled: "Fuck your mother, fire the cannon quickly!" "The voice is out of tune.

Fortunately, the artillery was aimed at the Zishui, which rushed towards the battleship, and two shells fell into the water around the Zishui one after another, causing only two waves. Immediately afterwards, the battery in the middle of the first layer of the fortress also fired, increasing the number of waves.

In the captain's room, Wu Jianqiang watched motionlessly with a telescope. Everyone in the security team knew the level of weapons during this period. He did not believe that the Dutch artillery could reach the captain's quarters. It's just amazed at the speed of the Dutchman's reaction, which is less than ten minutes, right? Can they fire quickly?

Later he learned that they had caught up with the Dutch's daily morning rite of going out of town. Soldiers were sent not only from the city gates, but also from the city walls, and the artillerymen were naturally included. A number of materials for this party daoqian, the information clearly states that after the defeat of Guo Huai's uprising in 1652, in order to deter the people, they did this. Who would have thought that it would start in 1649.
