The Resha Fortress is the fortress of the Netherlands that Zheng Chenggong attacked and won in history.

At that time, the Dutch had been entrenched for decades, and it took a lot of effort to take it.

But now it's different, the Thermal Shelter Fortress has only been established for 2 years.

It can only be regarded as a small and medium-sized bastion, the number of artillery is less than 100, the defenders are only 1,500 people, and the indigenous and Nanyang mercenaries are less than 1,000 people.

As long as the Dutch people dare to fight the Ming field, it will be a matter of one afternoon, and the Hunhe army will be able to eat them all.

But Putmans and Van der Meyer are not stupid.

The Ming Dynasty swept through the northern part of the treasure island, and the nearly 100,000 Japanese army was no match at all, let alone this little force.

Therefore, they resolutely insisted on never fighting in the field.

Three layers of moats and multiple layers of trenches were dug around the perimeter of the Thermal Barrier Fortress.

In fact, moats are not common in Europe, but the Netherlands likes it the most, because it relied on the dense river network in the lowlands, and built fortresses everywhere, and the forts have moats, so that the Aceban duck can't gnaw it for decades.

Now the old trick is repeated, taking advantage of the Ming Dynasty to conquer the north of the treasure island for a few months, to engage in water networks and ravines.

Coupled with Van der Meyer's fleet, there is still an absolute advantage in the number of artillery, just waiting for the Ming to attack.

Xiong Tingbi and Zhang Mingshi transferred troops to the south.

Pass through the territory of the Ming and Potbelly Kingdoms, and then pass through the area previously controlled by the Netherlands.

Looking at the fortresses of the Netherlands from afar, it is indeed not so easy to attack.

The southern part of Takarajima is very rich in vegetation, and even if it is spring, it is already relatively hot.

Large-scale deployment of troops to attack the city is afraid that it will fall into the hands of the enemy.

The Ming army went to the island of 50,000 people, not too much to say less, the Ming army that fled into the mountains and dense forests on the west side of the treasure island could not be less than 10,000, and the protection of the key port of Beigang also required 10,000, as well as the construction and defense of the northern part of the treasure island, preferably 10,000.

There are only 20,000 people going south, and they must not sacrifice too much living force in this hard attack.

Lao Xiong has traveled to many places in the north and south, and his hometown Huguang produces a lot of grain, but in terms of fertile land, it really can't be compared with the treasure island.

At this time, the treasure island has abundant water and a warm climate, and the land has not been cultivated much for thousands of years, so it is extremely fertile.

In many places, the land is fertile and the water is beautiful, and a large area of wilderness has not been cultivated, Xiong Tingbi and Zhang Mingshi are determined to open up territory here, imitate the construction of military cantonments, and let the families of soldiers enjoy preferential treatment and higher rights.

Therefore, based on the battalion soldiers, some guards who are good at production were absorbed, and the new army was established on the west side of the treasure island to build a military cantonment.

Half of the Hunhe Army was blockaded and covered, and half of it was trained by battalions and guards, produced, educated, and organized.

In particular, in the organization, the combination of bottom-up and top-down, coupled with the fact that the soldiers, soldiers, officers, and counselors can brainstorm ideas, and the vitality of the battalion and guard soldiers has gradually increased.

These soldiers also have brains, but they are usually oppressed and exploited, and they can't have any ideas, so their morale is low and their hearts are not aligned.

Now everyone has really gained a better life, participated in the construction and management, and many people put forward constructive ideas.

For example, according to the function of Fujian tulou, some soldiers planned and built a tic-tac-toe barracks, with empty land in the middle, and then built a large high platform to make it the center of organizing and directing reclamation.

Sometimes the sea is affected by wind and waves, and the supply of grain and meat is limited, so it is not difficult to go to the mountains to hunt or raise chickens and fish in the construction of military camps.

It also trades with the Potbelly Kingdom, a local tribal kingdom, because the new army is based on equality, so the construction of the military camp and the Potbelly Kingdom and the local natives can also get along on an equal footing and trade peacefully.

The transfer of local high-quality fruits and seafood to Fujian and Nanyang is very good for all parties.

In addition to the soldiers, there must also be people.

During this period, in addition to transporting a large number of materials to the island, the fleet also went to Zhangzhang and Quan's hometown to recruit immigrants, counting more than 3,000 people before and after, and established the construction of military tuns and several towns, not to mention the establishment of the treasure island and Fujian.

In just half a year, the treasure island has begun to prosper.

In the past three months, Daming has been getting better and better

, the more the Dutch people defended, the more sad they became.

The Hunhe army has Hongyi cannons, and sometimes fights cold bubbles to harass.

Even the Netherlands' Hongyi artillery was very powerful, and it had an advantage in the bastion, but it was coldly attacked by the cold cannon, and nearly 100 people were killed and wounded.

There is also a cold gun tactic, from time to time there are scouts and shooters of the Hunhe Army, taking advantage of the characteristics of the climate with a lot of water, hot and grass, crouching in the grass, sniping at the enemy who is lazy and lazy.

The Dutch also had many great marksmen, but they were far less hard-working than the Hunhe army, and there were always negligences in patrolling and defending and being ambushed by the Hunhe army.

Later, he simply went out of the fortress to inspect during the day, and the patrol distance was not far from the fortress a hundred steps, and he did not dare to go any farther.

Xiong Tingbi and Zhang Mingshi attacked the hot blocking fortress.

It is now 1625, and those who care about the history of the treasure island must know the deeds of the national hero Zheng Chenggong in the subjugation of the treasure island.

It was 38 years later, and Zheng Chenggong took over Baodao.

Although Wang Hongyu has been in the late Ming Dynasty for a long time, he has a friend who is very familiar with the history of the late Ming Dynasty and always talks to him about this.

So I vaguely remember it now.

In 1661, Zheng Chenggong personally led an army of 25,000 and hundreds of warships from Kinmen to recover the island.

They braved the wind and waves, crossed the Treasure Island Strait and came to Penghu Island to rest, preparing to take the treasure island directly in a few days.

For several days, the sea was full of wind and rain. Zheng Jun's food supply was in trouble, and although the people on the island also gave Zheng Jun their own rations, it was still a drop in the bucket.

Zheng Chenggong decisively decided to brave the rain to move forward, and at dawn on the first day of April, Zheng's warships arrived at the Luermen channel.

One of the two channels that enter the Daojiang River is the southern channel, which is between the Ichikun body and the northern line of Ojima. The channel was deep and wide, but the enemy ships were heavily defended and it was difficult to pass.

The other is the Luermen channel at the northern end of the tail island of the northern line, the channel is narrow and shallow, and there is a lot of silt in the water. It was in this channel that the Dutch army was sunk and blocked, and ships could only pass through when the tide was high. Therefore, the Dutch army was not fortified.

According to the tides, when the first and sixteenth days of the new year are high tides, the water level should be five or six feet higher than usual. Zheng Jun was in a hurry to sail in the rain in order to pass through the Luermen channel at the first tide.

At noon that day, the tide overflowed the channel, and Zheng Jun successfully entered the Daojiang River. Zheng's army entered the island river by surprise, catching the Dutch colonists by surprise and attacking the city from the flank, cutting off the enemy's connection with the fortress of Resha.

At the same time, Zheng Chenggong's subordinates quickly defeated the enemy troops who came to reinforce them. The Dutch army in the city of Chichicheng was cut off from water and had no foreign help, so they had to surrender.

[In view of the general environment,

The Dutch people who blocked the fortress also tried to resist stubbornly, and Zheng Chenggong built an earthen platform outside the city and besieged it.

Eight months later, Zheng's army launched an assault on the city. In early 1662, the Dutch colonists were forced to sign the instrument of surrender.

At that time, the Dutch had occupied the treasure island for 38 years, there were more defenses than now, and there was a red city that echoed from north to south, and Zheng Chenggong fought for nine months before forcing the Netherlands to surrender.

The Netherlands has only occupied the island for two years, with a total strength of only 1,500 men, and new mercenaries have not yet had time to train. Now there is only the Thermal Shelter Fortress.

This time you can defeat the enemy faster.
