Blood from Daming

Chapter 506 Pingpu
As soon as Xue Yun accompanied Liya back to the cabin, there were faint gunshots and explosions from the east. Liya twitched in Xue Yun's chest. Xue Yun had no choice but to comfort Liya's smooth back. Let her mood settle down as soon as possible, Liya took advantage of the situation and snuggled into Xue Yun's arms, at this moment Xue Yun saw his own soldiers entering the cabin door.

The soldiers reported: "General, the battle took place in the direction of Yu Qianzong and Luo Duizhang in the east. The distance is quite far away, and the Dutch castle and warships have not moved much so far. In addition, the scarlet blood princess of Canada is asking to see her." .”

After Xue Yun ordered his soldiers to invite the Scarlet Blood Princess to come to the cabin to talk, he comforted Liya for a while, and then he went out of the cabin and closed the door. There was an extra old man with a pot belly, Xue Yunxin said that today's conversation would not be fooled.

Xue Yun sat across from Princess Chixue across the short table, and the old man with a big belly sat cross-legged on the lower head. Princess Chixue introduced: "Xue Jiajun, this is the honorable descendant of my Manthorna king, who is now living in Manthorna. Mashalil, chief minister of the cabinet."

Marshalier, the Chief Assistant of the Manchurian Cabinet, leaned over and said, "The survivors of the subjugated country pay their respects to General Xue."

Xue Yun nodded and said: "It turns out that it is the pillar of the Manchujia Kingdom. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Princess Scarlet Blood said: "Xue's army, my palace and the chief assistant Marshallier came here to congratulate the Xue's army's victory in opening the flag last night and defeating the sneak attack of the Dutch army. I believe that the castle of Promincia is about to fall."

Xue Yun said: "Our army was well prepared last night. The Dutch army dispatched more than 1000 soldiers for a sneak attack. They were hit head-on by our Xue family army, and nearly a thousand Dutch soldiers were wiped out and captured. Unfortunately, the castle of Promincia and the Dutch warships were under heavy artillery fire and missed the pursuit of the victory. The opportunity to expand the results of the battle, our army has also lost more than 100 soldiers."

The Scarlet Blood Princess asked: "General Xue, is it because your army suffered too many casualties last night that you didn't continue to attack the Dutch castle?"

Xue Yun said: "This is only one aspect. The main reason is that Promincia Castle's artillery is sharp, the castle is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and our army's siege preparations are also very insufficient, so we have not organized an attack on Promincia Castle for the time being."

The Scarlet Blood Princess glanced sideways at Chief Assistant Marshallier, who leaned forward and said, "General Xue, the Promincia Castle of the Dutch is a three-dimensional defense with cross-fire configuration, which is different from the plane defense of Daming's city. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is a wise choice for the general not to attack the city. General Xue uses his troops to be absorbed and relaxed, which is the blessing of my country."

Xue Yun said: "Thank you Lord Shoufu for your compliment. Your Excellency will come to this seat to take the boat in person. If you have any advice, it's okay to say so."

Xue Yun knew that Princess Scarlet Blood usually contacted him. This time, Marshallier, the Chief Assistant of the Manchurian Cabinet, came, and he must have something very difficult to say. Hiding here.

Marshalier said: "General Xue really speaks quickly. I really have something to discuss with the general when I come here. If there is something wrong, just pretend that I didn't mention it."

Xue Yun said: "Manchujia has great support for my Xue family army. The current relationship can be said to be closely related to breathing and sharing adversity. If you have something to say, please tell me. As long as I can do things, I will definitely meet the requirements of your Manchujia. .”

Marshallier said: "At the beginning of the year, the merchant ships of my country were robbed by Zheng Yiguan and other pirates, and now the remaining ships are fully supporting the general in crossing the sea. Yesterday, I was full of [-] Canadian ships and sunk. The domestic ministers and ship owners are under a lot of pressure. Big, worried that future business operations will be difficult to continue, and everyone's resources will be dry, and it will be difficult to complete the future plan for the restoration of the country."

Xue Yun listened and looked at Princess Chixue, seeing that Princess Chixue lowered her head a little embarrassed and asked, "Your Highness, do you have any good suggestions?"

The Scarlet Blood Princess hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "General, the ministers of the Manthorna Kingdom are all gathered together under the order of the restoration of the country. In addition to the ships controlled by my Manthorna King's family, there are many others. They are all survivors who fled to the Ming Dynasty from Mancijia. They have worked hard to earn their family business for generations. They are naturally willing to support Mancijia to restore the country without compensation, but it will be difficult for them to destroy their family and save the country. , The batch of old ships that sank yesterday were almost all private ships of the survivors of our country, and it was because those survivors were reluctant to sink the ship that they almost missed the general's important event."

Xue Yun nodded after hearing this and said: "The subjects of Manchujia Kingdom have indeed sacrificed a lot, which is why I admire you, Your Highness, if you have something to say, just speak up."

The Scarlet Blood Princess said: "Last night, the Xue family's army won a big victory. I am full of thorns. Canadian subjects think that the general's occupation of the entire Taiwan Island is just around the corner. Some ship owners who have made contributions hope to get preferential treatment in the trade with Taiwan Island, and the cabinet also mentioned that they want to be in Taiwan. The island is looking for a place to stay, as a base for the great cause of national restoration."

Xue Yun listened to where he was thinking, Scarlet Blood Princess and Marshallier looked at Xue Yun with some trepidation, Xue Yun said after a while: "Although our army won a great victory last night, it is still a long way from defeating the Dutch." , and now the north of Taiwan Island has been occupied by Spain, and Zheng Zhilong and his gang are also entrenched in the Hong Kong area. As for the establishment of the Restoration Base, as long as it does not involve the sovereignty of the country and can abide by the laws of our Xue family army, these are not big problems."

Marshallier said: "The general's promise will be faithfully conveyed to the subjects of the Manchujia Kingdom. Your Excellency, Zheng Zhilong and his gang in Yaogang are close at hand and we have to guard against it."

Xue Yun said: "Master Shoufu is right. I am considering building a fortress on the shore to prepare for a protracted war here. In the future, these fortresses can also be used to defend against foreign enemies."

At this time, some soldiers came to hang around the cabin door. Xue Yun recruited the soldiers to enter the cabin for questioning. The team was defeated, and the details will be sent later, in addition, the Dutch warship once fired to help the battle, but due to the too far away, it did not cause any damage to Yu Qianzong and Luo Duizhang's team."

Xue Yun was overjoyed when he heard the report from the soldiers. Grandma, there are actually Taiwanese helping the Dutch devils to fight against the Ming army. It’s really a birthday boy eating arsenic to seek death. At this time, someone will automatically come to check in and take a seat.

Xue Yun said to the soldiers: "If you have any news, send it in immediately." The soldiers responded and bowed and exited the cabin.

Only then did Xue Yun say to Princess Scarlet Blood and Marshalier: "You two have seen, there are quite a few turtles in Taiwan Island. I, the tigers of the Xue family army, don't show off their power, and are treated like a sick cat, hehe."

Marshallier thought for a while and said, "General, I heard that the Dutch in Promincia Castle are trading with the Pingpu Fansiraya tribe in Taiwan Island. There is an offensive and defensive alliance between them. It may be that these tribes heard the news. Come to help."

Xue Yun asked: "Master Shoufu, it seems that you know Taiwan Island very well. Do you know that the tribes in Taiwan tend to favor us Ming Han people?"

Marshallier said: "General Xue, Taiwan Island is divided into Gaoshan Fan and Ping Pu Fan. Gao Shan Fan was formed by the early Han people and foreign ethnic groups from Malaya, Luzon and other places. Western dialects, some of which are closely related to our Manchurian country. As the name suggests, the Pingpu people live in the flatlands. Most of them are Han Chinese who came from the kingdom of heaven. Most of them are immigrants from Fujian and Guangdong. Because of the long history, Many Han people have been alienated, and although most people know the origin of their ancestors, after so many generations of barbaric intermarriage, they no longer recognize their Han identity."

Xue Yun chuckled and said, "Master Marshallier knows Taiwan Island quite well. Why hasn't your country of Manchuria not used Taiwan Island as a base for restoring the country for so many years?"

Marshallier said: "General, our Manchurian country has been relying on the Ming Dynasty to send troops for many years. We have not deliberately managed our own power, but have maintained the traditional maritime trade of the Manchurian country, and our Manchurian country has always been Thinking that Taiwan Island is the territory of Ming Dynasty, dare not steal it, and this island is sparsely populated by pirates, it is really not a place you can rely on."

Xue Yun listened to Marshallier's words, and thought it was funny to say that Taiwan Island is the territory of Ming Dynasty. Da Ming himself didn't admit it. Why are you pretending in front of me? The main reason is that you have no strength. Wang Zhi, Xu Hai, Li Dan, and Yan Siqi are fuel-efficient lamps, and Zheng Zhilong, who has just risen, has been robbed and almost turned into a beggar. It is not easy for a group of subjugated people to separate themselves.

At this time, Xue Yun's personal soldiers came in excitedly, and handed Xue Yun a piece of letter paper. Xue Yun saw that it read: Qian Zongyu, Deputy Luo of the Marine Corps, and reported to the general: More than 57 people from the Pingpu community broke through the barrier this morning. Seizing the pass, I, Yu Luo No. 300, failed to block it, and learned that it was to rescue the Dutch Red Fans, so we resolutely attacked, killing 17 people (checked as the Xingang Society) and capturing more than [-] people. One of them served with the Dutch Reformed The pastor of the church, Gan Zhishi, was found to be the organizer of this operation, which injured [-] officers and soldiers of the Xue family army, and no one was killed.

Xue Yun read: "What's the matter with this Xingang Society?"
