Although the Dutch had reluctantly signed an armistice agreement with Haihan after suffering successive losses on the battlefield last year, and in fact acquiesced in Haihan's control of the Anbuna Islands in the South China Sea, only an armistice agreement was signed at that time, in other words, the two sides did not officially declare the end of the state of war, and the war could resume at any time.

The outbreak of the Batavia War two months ago undoubtedly greatly reduced the strength of the Dutch East Indies, but the Dutch stronghold on the island of Taiwan was not directly affected by this. The garrison and fleet of Dayuangang were too far away to rush back to the south to reinforce Batavia, so they still maintained a certain amount of military pressure on Haihan in the area of the Fujian Strait. Although Haihan defeated the Dutch fleet in the Battle of Fujian last year, the nail of Dayuan Port was not removed, considering that there is only less than 50 nautical miles between Dayuan Port and Penghu, this threat is still very uneasy for the Haihan militia stationed in Penghu.

As far as the military is concerned, it is naturally uncomfortable to have such a nail on the doorstep of the house, and if it is chosen, the military will definitely take Dayuangang as the first target to be attacked in the next step. However, considering that the Dutch had been operating in Dayuan Port for several years and had built a fortress such as the city of Geranza in the area, it was far more difficult for Haihan to attack the local area than for naval warfare, and the Executive Committee was worried that the war would slow down Haihan's northward advance, and did not want to completely turn against the Dutch at this stage.

The idea of the Executive Committee was that if a large-scale introduction of immigrants from the north could be achieved, then the Fujian side could begin to organize the establishment of a colony on the west coast of the island of Taiwan. With Haihan's organizational and implementation capabilities, it is completely possible to establish a number of colonies on the west coast within a year or two, and when the time comes, it will be much easier to slowly squeeze the living space of the Dutch by sandwiching the northbound route of Dayuan Port with Penghu on the left and right.

Of course, if such a plan is followed to solve Dayuangang, it may take a long time, and the military is unwilling to carry this burden all the time, who knows if the Dutch will one day not be able to think of it and make a surprise attack on the Penghu base.

"It's just playing the piano randomly!" Qian Tiandun slammed the telegram he had just received on the table: "Ning Qi himself came to Fujian last year to inspect it, so why can't he even figure out the situation! Every day he shouts to go north and north, and this Dutch is still staring behind his back, how dare he draw people to the north to open up a new stronghold!"

Chen Yixin picked up the telegram and looked at it, it was not that the executive committee had made a relevant decision, but only the content of the third quarter summary meeting. Bayi Novel Network www.8 Say 1 8 zw.com But since the Executive Committee included the proposal to expand the sphere of influence to the north in the circular, it obviously has certain expectations for this, and specially sent a telegram to Penghu, presumably to see what the attitude of this side is.

After reading it, Chen Yixin also frowned and said: "Penghu now has two battalions of soldiers, and the fleet is not in order, how can this be displayed to the north?"

Qian Tiandun said with a calm face: "The Dutch fleet has to pass through the east of Penghu every month, and every time it makes us nervous, if this nail is not removed, how can I put my mind at ease!"

The East India Company's route to Northeast Asia was from Dayuan Port to the north, through the Taiwan Strait and the East China Sea, all the way to the destination. The initials of the new domain name Kele Novel Network (k1xsw), the largest free romance Chinese website, hurry up. The closest distance between Penghu and the west coast of Taiwan Island is only more than 2o nautical miles, and the Dutch fleet can often be seen. Every time such a situation occurred, Penghu had to immediately enter a state of preparedness to prevent a sneak attack by the Dutch without declaring war.

In this era, there will be no advanced means such as radar warning, and the Dutch will not honestly report their sailing plans to Haihan, so although the Penghu base has never been attacked by foreign enemies, there will still be a few days a month because of the alarm of unknown conditions. Although everyone knew that the chances of the Dutch taking the initiative to start a war at this time were very small, no one dared to take this lightly, and every time an alarm came from the sea, Qian Tiandun would still order all the staff to enter a state of combat readiness.

There is no good solution to this situation, and the most radical solution is to clear out the Dutch stronghold on the west coast of Taiwan, and coerce Dutch merchant ships to travel between the South China Sea and the East China Sea along the routes demarcated by the Han Dynasty. However, Qian Tiandun himself was also very clear that there were still some technical problems that had yet to be solved by the Dutch who wanted to clean up Dayuan Port, such as a comprehensive reconnaissance of the inside and outside of Dayuan Port, a combat plan to quickly break through the fortress defense, and so on.

"Even if the Executive Committee agrees to this plan, our side will still vote against it. Qian Tiandun did not hide his dissatisfaction in front of Chen Yixin: "The Spaniards can let it go for the time being, but if the Dutch don't solve it, they can't go north!"

Compared to the Dutch, who stuck next to Haihan like a plaster, the Spanish base in northern Taiwan was not so much of a problem. Bayi Chinese w 1 w w 1 Wen 8 net 1 net z 8 w Wen 1 c 1 o Zhong m 1 They occupy the chicken cage port is located on the northeast corner of Taiwan Island, and the shipping route between Luzon Island in the South China Sea is mainly concentrated in the waters east of Taiwan Island, and there is no direct conflict of interest with Penghu. In Haihan's previous conflict with the Eighteen Zhi and the Dutch, the Spaniards also wisely chose to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and did not join the battle.

The choice of the Spaniards was naturally related to their political position, and the Dutch and Spaniards were currently fighting on the battlefields of Europe, on the one hand, for independence, and on the other hand, to maintain their position as the European bosses. Because both countries were seafaring, their battlefields were almost all over the world, and the Spanish seized the port of Chicken Coop in large part to restrict the maritime trade of the Dutch in Northeast Asia.

From the point of view of this interest, the Spaniards and the Haihan actually had very similar interests, and both wanted to clear the Dutch of their own sphere of influence. However, it will not be easy to accomplish this goal, and the two countries have their own victories and defeats in the Far East, with neither side having a clear advantage. This is also the main reason why the Dutch representatives were finally forced to submit to defeat by Haihan's off-the-board moves during the Dutch-Haihai negotiations last year, and the Dutch were really worried that the Haihan would unite with the Spaniards, and if the two sent troops at the same time, no matter how brave and good the Dutch soldiers were, it would probably be difficult to resist their attack.

Of course, Haihan does not intend to really join forces with the Spaniards, for Haihan, all external forces are competitors, they can use them, and if they can't use them, they will try to eliminate them, and they will join forces to form alliances. The Spaniards, on the other hand, were able to build guns and cannons and build ships on their own, and their accumulation in navigation far surpassed that of the Haihan, and an alliance with them would not be beneficial to the Haihan. The most important thing is that the Haihan military has been coveting this place for a long time.

In the 45th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, that is, in 1617, in the book "East and West Foreign Examination" written by Zhang Xie, a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, there are records of the Chicken Coop Society, the Chicken Coop Port, the Chicken Coop City, and the Big Chicken Coop Street. In 1626, the Spanish colonists invaded the area and built a fort on the island of Selao outside the port, which was named "San Salvador".

Surrounded by mountains on the east, west and south sides, there is a narrow bay with a depth of about 3.6 kilometers and an entrance width of about 3oo meters. Outside the mouth of the bay, there are islands such as Sheliao, Zhongshan, and Pantong as natural barriers, forming a natural harbor surrounded by mountains and rivers and calm waves. The water area in the port is about 2.5 square kilometers, and the average water depth is about 10 meters, so there is no pressure for large ships to enter and leave the port. Of course, the Spanish colonists did not have the strong engineering ability of Haihan, and the port construction implemented in the area was also limited, and did not make full use of the local geographical environment.

For the Haihan military, the terrain of Jilong Port is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is the military's favorite semi-enclosed harbor, which has sufficient space for both military and commercial use. Combined with the abundant forest resources in the area, a large shipyard can be built. The abundant fishery resources in the nearby waters make this place the largest fishing port in Taiwan even in later generations, and the black sea bream produced is very famous.

In addition, due to the large volcanic groups in the area, the mineral resources are also very rich. There are many gold, silver and copper mines in Jinguashi Mountain, Grass Mountain, Jimuling and other places, which are the most concentrated areas of gold mines on Taiwan Island. In addition, the sulfur ore resources formed by the local volcanic groups are also very rich, and they have a very wide range of uses in the industrial and military fields.

Therefore, although the place of Jilong Harbor did not block the northward passage of Haihan, it was still included in the list of "must take" targets by the military. However, compared with the position of Dayuan Harbor, it is not so urgent to seize Chicken Coop Harbor.

The following will be re-edited later
