Song Bai looked back, and it turned out that this person was Dai Doujia, "Second Brother Duan, you come with me," everyone followed Dai Douli through the forest to the top of the mountain. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"You guys are here, look at this ......" The old patriarch and Guo Huaiyi both stood under the tree on the top of the mountain and looked into the distance.

In the sea outside the castle, more than a dozen Spanish warships lined up, and frequently bombarded the Dutch soldiers outside the castle, and the Dutch launched their artillery and fired back at the warships on the sea one by one.

For a while, the sound of artillery was like thunder, thick smoke bursts, and soil and rocks flew up on the shore, and some soldiers were directly blown up, the flesh and blood were blurred, and it was unbearable to see, and some were burning and jumping in the flames.

A warship, under the cover of other warships, docked in the harbor, one man rushed forward with a sword, and the other Spanish soldiers disembarked from the ship, armed with long muskets, and approached the castle as they fought.

At a close look, Songbai recognized the person who took the lead in rushing off the boat, and that person was Paul, who commanded the army to rush forward with a sword in his left hand, and shot at the Dutch with a musket in his right hand, and the two sides slowly moved forward, drawing the battlefield closer and closer.

The two sides fired at each other, and other ships in the seaside port also landed one after another, but the guns on the ship kept roaring, and the Spanish soldiers who covered the shore and the soldiers who got off the ship all leaned over from the causeway to shoot at the castle......

Paul commanded with his sword, and the Spanish army charged towards the castle, and the artillery on the castle fired in unison, and the Spanish army exploded, scattering and firing back.

The Spanish soldiers pushed the artillery, and Paul waved his sword to command "release", which exploded on the castle, and some Dutch soldiers were blown away and flew from the castle to the outside of the castle.

At this time, the artillery bombarded the Dutch soldiers on the fort, dead and wounded, desperately closing the front gate of the fort.

Just when the Dutch army could not raise their heads to fight back, the sound of killing in the west shook the sky, and the Dutch reinforcements came to reinforce the three or five hundreds, and the more than 50 soldiers in the fort opened the door to respond, and for a time the cannon roared loudly, and the guns did not stop. The Dutch soldiers retreated to the fort and took advantage of the high fort to shoot down, and the Spanish soldiers were hunted and killed, and the corpses were strewn all over the place.

The battle was fought in darkness, fought for two days and two nights, after the Dutch from the city of Geranza (now Taiwan City) and Provencha City (now Chichicheng City), additional ships and cannons to aid the castle, Paul had to lead the Spanish soldiers to withdraw the ships to meet the battle, the artillery of both sides fired, there were countless casualties, the Dutch troops on the ground were pinned with artillery, and the Spanish fleet led by Paul Sinn was attacked by the enemy, and had to withdraw to Luzon.

The Dutch warships pursued all the way, and the Spanish warships fled to the Philippines in panic, and the Dutch finally won the battle. Once again, the Ryukyus were under full control by the Dutch, renting land from the local people and imposing high land taxes. The Gaoshan and Han compatriots were miserable and often rebelled.

Spain was also the king of Portugal, the unprecedented combat power is superb, its fleet is strong, known as the "invincible armada", the first hegemon of the sea Europe, and later the British enclosure movement expanded, conflicts of interests, the two sides fought in the northeast sea of Calais, France, Spain's "invincible armada" command formation error, defeated miserably, the Netherlands immediately got rid of the Spanish unification, independent liberation, rapid development of the economy, has been to Asia to fight for territory, greatly restrain Spain's expansion and plunder, Spain is gradually declining, the hegemony is gone. He also fought with the Celestial Empire Sailors, and failed, and since then the national strength has declined, slumped, and has withdrawn from the stage of invaders one after another, which is just a later story, not to mention for the time being.

The day after the Dutch victory, several Dutch soldiers came to the Gaoshan settlement, all armed with muskets, and the old patriarch went to meet them.

After some cold noise, the old patriarch brought his messenger into the house to discuss the matter, and the muskets of the Dutch army with guns stood flat behind the messenger, "Patriarch, I have come this time to build the city of Geranza, please be sure to support you." He spoke not very fluent Chinese.

"Then how do you want me to cooperate with your country?" asked the old patriarch rhetorically.

"That's right, we want to build a high wall, and there is a shortage of stone and labor, so please let the patriarch be accommodating......" said the messenger.

"In this case, I will discuss with the clansmen, how about giving you an answer tomorrow?"

"Okay, I'll pick you up tomorrow, please get ready, farewell, Your Excellency the Patriarch. The messenger waved his hand, and all the Dutch troops returned.

"This is clearly a robbery of labor and stone, cooperation, cooperation, and tomorrow to pick up people, what is the difference with robbing?"

"Huaiyi, what do you think of this?" the old patriarch turned around and asked Guo Huaiyi.

"The Dutch army has advanced weapons, and Spain has been defeated, so it is clear that we will colonize and oppress us, so let's wait for everyone to come back in the evening, and sit together to discuss how to deal with it. Guo Huai said.

In the evening, the patriarch's house has already been lit and hung high, the inside and outside are bright, the men, women and children in the clan gather outside the door to listen, the patriarch sits upright, the elite of the clan sits on the left side, Guo Huaiyi sits on the right, Duan Tianlei and others stand behind him, and Songbai and others sit in order.

"Be quiet, everyone, and call you here tonight, mainly to discuss with you, that tomorrow the Dutch will come to grab labor and build the city of Geransha, and you can express your opinions, and listen freely......," said the old patriarch.

"As soon as Spain was defeated, the Dutch army took over the Ryukyus on all fronts and strengthened the fortifications, was it intended to defend or to strengthen the enslavement of us?"

"As far as I can see, the Dutch are so eager to strengthen their defenses in order to rule the Ryukyus for a long time, and our good days are coming to an end, for Spain and the Dutch coexisted before, and they have not yet been so arrogant, and the strong enemy has retreated, and their head should be directed at us. Guo Huai said.

Everyone nodded in agreement, "Then how should we deal with the Dutch now?" asked the old patriarch for everyone's opinions.

"Let's wait and see, the court can't control it, what can we do, not to mention that the emperor is obsessed with women, barren government, and the great powers invade our dynasty everywhere, otherwise Dongying, the Netherlands, and Spain, how can they be so unscrupulous, occupy my rivers and mountains, and invade our people. ”

"Yes, yes, unless you have to, don't fight against these gun-wielding people, it's us defenseless people who suffer. ”

Everyone talked about it, and finally decided to go out tomorrow to help the Netherlands build fortifications, put up with the humiliation for the time being, and wait and see the movement of the dynasty.

"It's not early, it's all gone, I have to work tomorrow, and if I can't bear it, I will mess with it, cough ...... cough ...... "The old patriarch coughed for a while and sent everyone back to rest."

In the early morning of the next day, when the rooster crows in the cottage, the Dutch military envoy has come to the front of the village, the cold wind is howling, the branches and leaves of the woods are also dancing with the wind, the strong men in the clan are all taken away by the Dutch army, leaving the old and young women and children, and the pines and cypresses, Guo Huai and others are all taken to the city of Gelanza......

The city of Geranza: The middle-aged men of other tribes had already carried stones to build the walls, the Dutch soldiers stood on high places with guns, and the Han overseers (traitors) who commanded with whips. Everyone endured it and did not dare to speak angrily.

Songbai was arranged to carry the boulder to correct the gate city wall, Guo Huai and others were assigned to the west to open the mountain and smash the stone, the crowd of the stone field was like a tide, one person leaned over to support the long steel drill (棧子), one person held two hammers (the opening hammer) smashed it, the sound of the bell was tinkling, endlessly, the stone dust was splashed, and the gravel was tiled on the ground.

If there are slow walkers, the overseers will whip and roar, urging all the way, the ancient city wall with guns and Dutch troops, strictly monitor the Ryukyu laborers under the sight, if there are escapees, they will raise their guns to annihilate them.

In the evening, when it was nearly dusk and the road was out of sight, the sulfur ball laborers were escorted all the way to the city by the Dutch army with guns, and the pine and cypress followed the people down the stairs into the straw-covered prison and locked them up in batches.

Everyone was exhausted and slept against the wall, and the Dutch army outside the door was guarded by guards a few steps away, like a living hell.

"Ah...... Ah......" A burst of whips and screams came from a distance, and everyone woke up and talked about it, "It's miserable, a few of them couldn't escape from prison, so they were arrested, and they broke their bones and bones, which was very miserable." An old man shook his head and sighed.

"This is not bad, some time ago, a few mountain clansmen, escaped by the moonlit night, were chased back by the hounds, were bitten alive, and thrown into the back mountains, alas, it is not easy to escape, these Dutch soldiers are more ferocious than the Spaniards. ”

"Sleep, don't talk about it anymore, be careful to hear that you will be caught, and you will inevitably suffer. After everyone talked, there was silence again.

"Didn't they promise to take care of the food and give them some wages every day, how could this be?" asked the old man.

"Young man, you just came, didn't you? In the past, Spain was in the north, and it was paid some wages, but now that the strong enemy has been driven away, it will not be given again, and it will be whipped at every turn, and lynched in the dark room, sleep, rest early, tomorrow will be no energy, and it will inevitably be another whip. The old man said and squinted against the wall and slept.

"Snap" A leather whip was whipped on Songbai's body, and the blood stains passed through the white clothes, which were clearly visible......
