Chapter 112: Recovering the Ryukyus

Taiwan, also known as the Ryukyus.

At first, it was occupied by the Spaniards for a while, and later, the Dutch arrived, drove out the Spaniards, and completely ruled the area.

Moreover, very brutal oppression was imposed.

Originally, Ryukyu has been the territory of the Ming Dynasty since ancient times, and the Dutch occupied Taiwan, and the Ming Dynasty would definitely not allow it.

For example, in the second year of the Apocalypse, the governor at that time, Nan Juyi, sent the general soldier Yu Zhigao, and the garrison Wang Mengxiong to defeat the Dutch and capture the general Gao Wenlu.

Later, the Ming Dynasty was in civil strife and had no time to manage overseas affairs, so it was occupied by the Dutch again.

This is also a helpless thing.

After all, a few years ago, the Ming Dynasty was not famous, the beacon smoke was everywhere, and there were Manchu Tatars in the north, so there was really no time to take care of the affairs of the South China Sea.

However, now it is different, Chongzhen has pacified the biggest enemy in the north, and the entire Ming Dynasty has been purged, so it is natural to focus on overseas and can no longer let the Dutch occupy the treasure island.

Moreover, not only the Ryukyus, which were occupied by the Dutch, but also Macao, which was occupied by the Francos, had to be recovered.

The Dutch initially occupied Tainan, but over the years, they had already extended their influence to Taipei. Forts were built to defend them, and along the coastline, forts were built to defend against pirates.

At the beginning, the reason why the Dutch dared to come back after being defeated by the Ming Dynasty. It's because there are traitors leading the way.

This traitor was a pirate named Li Dan. It was this Li Dan, who had been defeated by the Zheng family at the beginning, and was unwilling to take refuge in the Dutch, wanting to rely on the strength of the Dutch to defeat the Zheng family. But he never thought that the Zheng family turned around and became an officer of the Ming Dynasty by Zhao'an.

Until some time ago, Zheng Zhilong rebelled, and the Zheng family entered the sea again.

Li Dan's thoughts for many years have revived, revenge, he worked hard to make dogs for the Dutch, isn't it just to avenge an arrow?

Therefore, after Li Dan heard that Zheng Zhilong went to Japan, he set up a bureau to lure Zheng Chenggong over, wanting to cut off one of the Zheng family's arms.

But he never thought that he killed the Ming Navy halfway, and Chongzhen personally directly crushed this group of Dutch.

Even Li Dan himself was buried in the sea in the crushing battle just now, and even his body could not be found.

Of course, these situations were asked by Chongzhen from the mouths of those captured Dutch just now.

These Dutchmen are not hard-nosed, and after being beaten, they honestly even told me about peeking at the noblewoman taking a bath when they were children.

And the situation in Taipei, Chongzhen is now well aware.

Here, it is not far from Taipei, and the warship sailed, and in just two hours, it was already close to Taipei.

From a distance, I saw a pier on the boundless coastline, and in that higher place, there were more than a dozen cannons, facing this side with black holes, defending against overseas enemies.

At this time, the Dutch in Taipei also saw the warship that was approaching rapidly.

Through the binoculars, I could even clearly see dozens of Dutch captives hung in mid-air by fishing nets.

"That's the Ming people, what a strange ship!"

The Dutch were also slightly shocked in their hearts, and they had never seen the appearance of a warship.

The unknown is sometimes scary. But more often than not, ignorance means fearlessness.

"Bring them closer, and then fire!" the Dutch commander made the stupidest decision of his life. Of course, no matter what the decision is, the final outcome is already predestined. Because, he didn't realize what kind of existence he was encountering.

Boom Boom Boom ......

The shore was quiet, and on the sea, there was a sudden explosion of cannons, and the flames soared into the sky, like meteorites dragging their long tails to rush to something.

"Oh God, what kind of cannon is that?"

Many Dutch artillerymen were dumbfounded, their eyes constantly rising too high with the flight path of the shells, and finally ......

Boom.

The shells landed precisely next to the Dutch's shore defense guns.

The violent flames exploded, and a powerful wave of qi tore these Dutchmen to pieces in an instant.

Moreover, in an instant, all the gunpowder next to the security cannon was ignited, and the sound of explosions was incessant.

From the warship, you can see that on the coast, bright fireworks suddenly rise.

It was just a round of sweeping, and a cannon was missing from the entire coastline.

The Dutch suffered heavy casualties, most of them, not even the bodies could be found, and even the people with the shells turned into ashes.

"What a powerful cannon!" Zheng Sen swallowed his saliva fiercely, if there was this kind of cannon in hand, the ships in the world would not be able to carry it at all. Even the security cannon can't carry it, and it can attack the enemy's land from the sea at any time.

"Do a good job, you can't miss a chance to shoot!" Chongzhen patted Zheng Sen's shoulder, and the radish was a stick.

Zheng Sen nodded fiercely, with a look of longing, and he was already rejoicing in his heart that he drove a warship, crisscrossing the sea, beating those would-be robbers, and beating the red-haired fanzi and the Francophile kneeling and begging for mercy.

Chongzhen didn't know what strange thoughts were in the mind of the young man next to him who was in the second year of secondary school.

While controlling the warship and rapidly approaching the coastline, he commanded the Shenji Battalion to prepare.

Soon, the warship sailed into the dock built by the Dutch, which was also a good thing done by the Dutch, and with such a dock, the warship did not have to find a place to dock.

If the Dutch had known that the dock they had worked so hard to build had given convenience to the enemy, I don't know if they would have directly bombarded the dock with one shot.

The red-haired fanzi who was secretly injured didn't see any of them, and it seemed that after being bombarded by naval guns, he completely abandoned the coastline and retreated inland, wanting to avoid the warship's big killer weapon to resist.

However, on land, the Shenji Battalion is an invincible weapon.

"Brothers, follow me!

The red lady shouted excitedly, and rushed out with a submachine gun, but Li Yan couldn't pull it.

The Lord will be like this, not to mention the other soldiers, all of whom are enthusiastic and warlike.

This Shenji battalion is equipped with the best weapons, and everyone is equipped with submachine guns, grenades, and body armor.

In particular, body armor, in later generations, could not defend against bullets at all. However, in this era of using shotguns and bird guns, it is not bad as King Kong.

Therefore, the Shenji Battalion was not afraid of the black guns fired in the jungle on the shore, and rushed into the grove like a tiger into a wolf pack.

Immediately after, gunshots and screams were heard in the grove.

The whole battle ended very quickly, and in less than half an hour, the red lady had already returned with a few heads.

"Your Majesty, this man seems to be their general. When I saw that everyone else was listening to him, I cut off his head back!"

"Shhh...... This person is the commander of the Netherlands, and his father is the general Gao Wenlu who invaded the Penghu Islands and was captured and killed by the Ming Dynasty!" Zheng Sen carefully identified and recognized the identity of this person.

"That's right, go back and ask where his Lao Tzu's body was dumped, and send his head over. Since it's a family, let them die neatly!" Chongzhen said with a wave of his hand.
