The Netherlands is relatively isolated in Europe.

This time, the Ming Dynasty was very close to Portugal, Ace Duck and the Roman side, and when the time came, they would deal with the East India Company in order to trade with the Ming Dynasty and get reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention the manager of his own company, even if the governor Cohen arrived in Rome, he would inevitably be tried, and then he would be imprisoned for a long time.

In the event of failure, the whole of the Netherlands will lose money.

For the sake of the Netherlands, and for the sake of oneself, it is necessary to stand up.

If the Netherlands loses the thermal blocking base on the treasure island again, it can only retreat to Batavia, and it is expected that Batavia will not be able to hold it, so that the Netherlands will have no foothold in Asia.

At present, some of the undamaged warships in the Netherlands are escorting the Japanese ships on their way to the treasure island, and Putsmann's troops are too small, and only by using the Japanese army entrenched in the north of the island can he have a chance to defeat the Ming Dynasty.

If the Dutch warships escorting the Japanese army and the five warships left behind in the fierce battle between the two sides were fiercely engaged, they would definitely have the upper hand in the naval battle, and with the numerical superiority of the Japanese infantry, they would definitely be able to defeat the Ming Dynasty.

As long as the Ming Dynasty is defeated this time, the treasure island will be defended, and the Netherlands will avoid the danger of withdrawing from East Asia, and it will also give the Netherlands a chance to breathe, and they will atone for their own credit, at least keep their position in the East India Company.

Perhaps he could also get a Dutch East India Company governor of Treasure Island, look back and unite with the Japanese to retake the Strait of Malacca, and re-establish the Dutch dominance in East Asia.

The next step is to unite the Houjin and the Wa Kingdom to divide up the Ming Dynasty, let these two landlubbers fight in the vast East, and reap the benefits of the fishermen themselves, and East Asia will have the final say.

Xiong Tingbi did not have the restraint of civilian officials, and his military talent was truly brought into play. Nan Juyi, the governor of Fujian, Hong Chengchou, the new governor of Zhejiang, and the soldiers and horses of the two provinces were commanded by Xiong Tingbi.

The navies of the two provinces occupy the islands and reefs occupied by the Ming in the last Penghu naval battle, and forts have been built here, and any ships entering and leaving the base in the Netherlands are within range of the Ming army's artillery.

Since Cohen transferred the Dutch capital warship and two marines with 3,000 troops, he left only 5 Galen warships and 1,000 infantry to protect the Resha fortress to Putsman.

From then on, the Dutch never dared to leave the sea near the Resha, and Putsman had to defend the fortress. He firmly believed that the impregnable hot shelter fortress, together with the huge cannons in the harbor and the 200 cannons on the battleship, could stop the attack of the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Hongyu had already studied the military facilities around the Resha Fortress countless times, and came to the conclusion that the Resha Fortress could only be besieged, not attacked, otherwise it would have to pay a heavy price to lay the fortress.

After Xiong Tingbi arrived in Penghu, he carefully observed the defense system of the Resha Fortress and its surroundings with a telescope, and immediately understood Wang Hongyu's intention: to trap the Dutch defenders of the Resha Fortress, and finally force them to abandon the fortress and escape.

Leaving the Resha Fortress, the Dutch Galen warships had no support, and could only be destroyed or surrendered by the Ming warships in the strait.

Xiong Tingbi personally arrived in Penghu and commanded the soldiers and horses to log in turn to ensure a large number of supplies on the island. Construct defenses outside the range of the Dutch cannons, forming a confrontation and siege.

Of course, earthwork is very crucial, digging trenches, building improvised fortresses, besieging fortresses with fortresses, and never rashly attacking hot blocking fortresses, lest the city be built and destroyed greatly.

Wang Hongyu's strategic measure was to defend the south and attack in the north, and Xiong Tingbi agreed with his strategy: to destroy the enemy's living forces in battle and win the war at the lowest cost, and this is Wang Hongyu's consistent combat policy.

Xiong Tingbi besieged the hot shelter fortress on the east, west, south and north according to the terrain, and the mountains and forests in the north were the territory of the Big Belly Kingdom on the island, which was actually the best ambush location. Although the Potbelly Kingdom leaned towards the Ming Dynasty, the invasion of armies into other people's territory was no different from an invasion.

In order to reduce unnecessary troubles and maintain friendly relations between the two sides, troops cannot be sent into the territory of the Potbelly Kingdom, unless they are invited by the other party, the nerves of the Potbelly Kingdom are very sensitive at this juncture.

Sure enough, the Potbelly Kingdom only sent people to send supplies to reward the Ming soldiers, and did not invite the Ming to send troops to station. Because the pot-bellied kingdom is several

Ethnic minorities, although they do not reject Han Chinese, do not want Han Chinese to enter their territory.

When Xiong Tingbi asked, "If the Dutch rush out of our sniper and want to turn north from the Potbelly Kingdom to the Japanese people, what will you do?"

The messenger was fluent in Chinese: "What will you do with the wolves when they enter your house?"

In response to the envoy's rhetorical question, Xiong Tingbi said word by word: "The jackal is here, and he is greeted with a shotgun!"

After saying that, the two high-fived and laughed.

When the envoy left, Xiong Tingbi gave the Potbelly Kingdom 100 firearms, 500 catties of black powder, and a large number of down-to-earth daily necessities. There was no agreement between the two sides, but this type of communication deepened the trust between the two sides.

The Hunhe Army was the first to land in Beigang, and the local people and merchants had already eaten pot pulp, and various detailed maps were also provided. Most of its residents are landless farmers in Fujian's coastal areas, who have been forced to cross the sea in search of a living.

There is a lot of sparse population here, there is no shortage of food here, what is lacking is security, the Japanese often come to rob, in order to protect the fruits of their labor, many people have paid the price of their lives, since the Ming sent garrisons they are safe.

After tens of thousands of Japanese troops occupied the northern part of the island, their peaceful life was destroyed, and many people fled their homes and lived a wandering life, hoping for the stars and the moon to finally come to their relatives who fought the Japanese invaders.

Relatives in the homeland brought them food, clothing, necessities of life, and tents. These Ming immigrants are all in tears, how good it is to have a country! Where there is a country, there is a home!

Half of the remaining Ming troops landed, and half concentrated on the coasts of Penghu, Zhejiang, and Fujian, ready to be flexibly dispatched according to the war.

Batches of ships went to sea, and a steady stream of infantry and navy drove in. The local people knew that the Japanese who were entrenched on the treasure island were going to be finished, and there were no more Japanese robbers along the coast.

In their opinion, all the people of the Wa Kingdom are Wako, because their ancestors are Wako, and the offspring they give birth to can still have good things? Raiding is their ancestral profession.

The northern line began to cut off the back route and sea supply line of the Japanese army on the north side of the island.

There are clippers shuttling back and forth everywhere on the sea north of the treasure island, these clippers serve as reconnaissance and patrol tasks, and there are carrier pigeon management personnel on board, and the carrier pigeon carries the news to the carrier pigeon station on the building ship, which is the command ship of various routes.

This was the first offshore operation of the Shandong and Nanzhili naval divisions, but the whole process was orderly.

The general soldier has been experienced in a hundred battles and is very familiar with the situation at sea.

As early as 20 years ago, he landed on the treasure island and killed the Japanese invaders entrenched here, and now there are several new warships and hundreds of Hongyi cannons on the warship, and he is even more confident.
