Chapter Eighty-Six: Reinforcements

The scouts who were sent back to deliver the letter were the scouts that Zhao Dahe had arranged in the camp of the Kaida Grans a long time ago, and of course, Atta did not let him come back alone, but sent twenty elite soldiers and strong generals to come back together to deliver the letter, so Haruki was the first to know the news.

"Tell them all what you see and what you know." In Tamsui City's Oxhorn Fort, Li Zhaoji said to the scouts.

The people who were able to attend the meeting were all bigwigs of the trading company, Chen Liuzi, Liu Mingde and Yang Yandi, and there was nothing else.

Because there are no natives, Feng Shangyi naturally knows everything and talks about everything, and he will talk in detail about the arrangement of Zhao Dahe after he arrived at the Big Chicken Coop Society and the origin of the attack by the Atayal people.

"This Zhao Dahe, is he dizzy, or has received the benefits of the natives, and he is at the forefront, I really don't know whether he is alive or dead, no wonder he was surrounded by the first wave of life." Yang Yandi slammed his fist on the table and began to refute Zhao Dahe's arrangement, although he was already angry, he still cared about the morale of the soldiers on the front line, so after the scout left, he began to have a seizure.

Chen Liuzi also had a lot of complaints, but he didn't express them directly, because he always felt that something was wrong.

In ordinary contact, Chen Liuzi found that Li Zhaoji was very concerned about the garrison stationed in the Big Chicken Coop Society, and it was impossible not to know Zhao Dahe's arrangement.

Li Zhaoji knocked lightly on the table and said, "Yandi, Zhao Dahe's deployment was personally arranged by me, and I also asked him to be at the forefront, as a shield to block the danger for the Kaida Gran people." ”

"Why!" Yang Yandi's eyes widened, after Chen Ping infiltrated the standard camp system of the governor of Liangguang, he became the commander of the ground armed forces of the Oriental Trading Company, and the vanguard and escort team were under his control.

Chen Ping and Yang Yandi are commanders with very different styles, Chen Ping attaches importance to order and rules, while Yang Yandi likes to mingle with soldiers, he is not only a soldier like a son, but also a brother and sister to a soldier.

Therefore, Yang Yandi's behavior of putting the garrison in a dangerous situation was unacceptable, even if he heard that this was what Li Zhaoji meant, it was still difficult to understand.

Liu Mingde coughed lightly: "The overall situation of the trading company is controlled by the big treasurer, whether it is the fleet or the guard, it is to serve the overall situation of the trading company. The big shopkeeper arranged it like this, and naturally he had a reason. ”

"Lao Liu, then tell me, what is the reason, I always have to have an explanation with the brothers below." Yang Yandi didn't dare to be brutal to Li Zhaoji, but he was not polite to Liu Mingde.

It is precisely Liu Mingde who can understand Li Zhaoji's arrangement, because he is assisting Li Zhaoji and must understand his strategy.

And all of Li Zhaoji's current strategies and arrangements are just for one point, and the trading company must be able to take root and gain a foothold in Tamsui City.

Therefore, there was a friendly cooperation with the Dutch in the short term, and in the long term, it was intended to secretly help the Spaniards who were trapped in the lonely city. Whether or not a trading company can take root in Tamsui City is an important part of the Keda Grand people.

The trading company is now short of everything, especially the lack of people, and the Dutch threat is around, and the route between Tamsui and Guangdong has been delayed, and the manpower can only be solved by using the Kaida Gran for the time being.

In fact, the establishment and development of a trading company must be based on friendship with the people of Kaidagran, and it cannot be superficially friendly.

Why did the Oriental Trading Company maintain the guards and fleets, and still have the manpower to build shipyards and repair ships, instead of cultivating land, growing grain and vegetables, and fishing and hunting? It was because the people of Kaidagran provided all the supplies needed by the trading company.

Although its level of civilization is much lower than that of the Ming Dynasty, and the level of productivity is also low, thanks to the richness of the island, the warm and humid climate, and the small population, the people of Kaidagran still produce a large number of goods, and if they lose their friendship, if not hostile, but only cut off from each other, the Oriental Trading Company will face many problems.

However, friendship with the Kaida Gran people cannot be built on the covenant or the friendship of the chief, but on the basis of interests, and the common confrontation with the Shengban Atayal people is the common interest of the trading company and the Kaida Gran people, and in this process, since the sincerity of the trading company can be demonstrated, the strength of the trading company can also be demonstrated.

The garrison was placed in front of the Holy Hill for two purposes.

"We call the natives of Dayuan Shengfan and Shufan, and there is another saying that they are called Gaoshan and Pingpu and Pingpu, which refers to people like the Kaida Gran who live in flat and hilly areas, but Yandi, what we need for the expansion of our trading company is merchant ships and fleets, and we need big trees to build these things, and these are grown in the deep mountains." Li Zhaoji said softly after Liu Mingde finished explaining.

Yang Yandi nodded, his entanglement was only because of the butt to decide the head, he commanded this guard, and naturally he was responsible for the life and death of the guard, but the guard still served the trading company after all.

"Then we want to reinforce the Holy Hill, they must be waiting for reinforcements in the Great River." Yang Yandi said.

Li Zhaoji nodded: "Of course, although I don't want to draw the main force away when the Dutch are close to the left, but the arrow is ready and I have to send it." ”

Yang Yandi asked: "How many soldiers will be transferred?" ”

"All!" Li Zhaoji said: "Otherwise, we don't want to do it, if we want to do it, we must go all out, you hand over the vanguard to Ah Shun and personally lead the escort team, so that we will have one hundred and fifty people, plus two hundred people from Chunshu, and I will also draw fifty people from the fleet." ”

Yang Yandi nodded: "Then we must fight quickly, and we can't let Tamsui City be empty for too long." ”

"So how do I cooperate?" Liu Mingde asked, he knew that Li Zhaoji and Yang Yandi had both set off, and if Chen Liuzi wanted to take charge of the fleet, he himself would have to guard in Tamsui Town.

"It's business as usual, just if we didn't leave, within 20 days, we will come back," Lee said. ”

Inside Tamsui City, there was chaos.

Barrels of salted fish and baked dough were carried to the ship, the arsenal was opened, and all the soldiers received double portions of ammunition.

Soldiers were polishing their weapons, and the guards and vanguards had appeared on the docks.

The vanguard is equipped with a variety of iron armor and is the most elite fighting force in the trading company's armed forces, while the rest of the iron armor is assigned to the garrison stationed at the front first.

And Chunshu's army has also been concentrated at the dock, they are completely different from when they first came, although they have only been trained for half a month, and they have not yet mastered important tactics such as formation coordination, but the equipment has been changed, and under Li Zhaoji's careful arrangement, this army called the Volunteer Army has already taken on a new look.

Each of them wore a helmet made of rattan, with a deerskin inside, and a suit of armor, but with a piece of iron to protect the heart.

The soldiers are divided into two parts, one is a rattan soldier, equipped with a rattan card, woven with old rattan, soaked in tung oil, and the weapon is a knife or an axe, which is really not enough weapons, and can only be used to make up the number with an axe, while the other soldiers are equipped with a spear long by one zhang.

Out of tribal tradition, Haruki insisted that the soldiers leave their own slings, each of which was varied, but all of them were used to it.

"Firecrackers, cannons, iron armor and spears, we have the best equipment, but against a group of brutes, we must win, or it will be a shame." Haruki was at the dock, looking at the strong Junrong of the trading company, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Piloted by sailors and Kedagrans, small boats came to the docks, including transport boats that had been lowered from three warships, long galleys that had been built and launched, and many more were natives' canoes.

Of course, some of these canoes were bought by a trading company and remodeled, that is, two canoes were placed side by side, and wooden planks were erected on them to carry goods when the water was calm, all of which told the rest of the people that Li Zhaoji was not sleeping heavily during his time in Tamsui City.

No one doubted the ability of such parallel canoes, at least not Lee Siu-kee, because he knew that in the central and southwestern parts of the Pacific Ocean, an archipelago, with such boats, could gallop across the Pacific Ocean and conquer one island after another unknown to the civilized world.

When the whistle sounded in Yang Yandi's mouth, all the armed forces of the trading company were all in a concentrated formation, no one spoke, even if it was the volunteer team, in the past half a month, Yang Yandi used military sticks and leather whips to teach them only one truth, the truth to remember in their hearts - abide by military discipline and obey orders.

Li Zhaoji stood at the bow of the long dragon ship Guan Gong Crab, his armor was still given by Lin Cha when he was in Guangzhou, it was Lin Cha's private collection, not so much strong defense, but luxury and luxury, in the sun, the polished shiny armor reflected the bright light, making him extraordinarily conspicuous in front of everyone.

Li Zhaoji shouted loudly: "Everyone, we all know Zhao Dahe, he is a steady and sincere man, and the garrison under his command is a warrior who went to the inland to defend the territory of the Blood Alliance on behalf of our trading company, and now, the garrison is trapped in the holy hill of the Big Chicken Coop Society, and we need to rescue him."

I've heard that there are 5,000 barbarians besieging dozens of them, 5,000 people! It's a shocking number, which makes people scared, but the scouts of the trading company and the Kaida Gran people saw that five thousand people wanted to devour the garrison, but they bit on the scales, and were killed by Zhao Dahe, and more than a thousand were killed, and the corpses were piled higher than the holy hill in front of them!

But we still have to go to the rescue, not because Zhao Dahe needs it, but because they are our brothers!

Shengban is the most evil, and they have to pay for their stupidity and arrogance, for the provocation they initiated! ”

Li Zhaoji's speech was heard by the people around him, and the soldiers let out a burst of cheers, and Li Zhaoji raised the knife in his hand: "Let's go, fight for life!" ”

Roar, roar, roar!

The army shouted in unison, and everyone boarded the ships one by one according to the order of the queue.

Guan Gong Crab took the lead in heading towards Shangshang, and when the distance was widened, Li Zhaoji shouted behind him: "Sizhi, Sizhi, come here quickly, take off the armor of this Laoshizi for me, I'm going to be out of breath." ”
