Blood from Daming

Chapter 730

Coqueira, the governor of Spain and the Philippines, learned that the Spanish army in the northern part of Taiwan Island had been attacked by the Ming Dynasty army. The Ming Dynasty planned to occupy Taiwan first, and immediately recruited servants and mercenaries in the occupied Luzon and Sulu countries to join the war.

At the beginning of August, Philippine Governor Coquera recruited 5000 mercenaries, and [-] mercenaries led by [-] Spanish soldiers made a detour to the east of Taiwan Island and arrived at Jilong Port in the north. The fighting Spanish troops gathered, and the Spanish Colonel Francisco was in a hurry.

Colonel Francisco has more than 3000 armed forces in northern Taiwan, mainly in the city of Santo Domingo in the chicken coop, and developed southward from Santo Domingo, and also incorporated a group of Taiwanese native tribes. Soon after In southern Taiwan, there was a battle between the Ming Dynasty army and the Dutch (Dutch) people.

The powerful Colonel Francisco of the Dutch knew well that he was going to wait for the Ming Dynasty and the Dutch to lose both sides. At that time, the Spanish army came out to reap the benefits of the fisherman. Therefore, Colonel Francisco strictly ordered his army not to go south. So as not to irritate both the Ming Dynasty and the Dutch, and destroy their own wishful thinking.

Who knew that the Dutch were defeated in just half a year. At this time, Colonel Francisco woke up like a dream. He knew that the profit of the fisherman was gone. The army of the Ming Dynasty still panics when Colonel Francisco faces the mighty Ming Dynasty.

However, after the Dutch were defeated in Taiwan, there was a steady stream of news to Colonel Francisco, explaining that the Ming army occupying Taiwan Island was just a private army of a Ming Dynasty general, and about this Ming Dynasty private army The information of "Xue Jiajun" also came from far away. Francisco knew that it was the Ming Dynasty pirate Shibazhi. Colonel Francisco secretly laughed at these Ming Dynasty people because they liked to fight among themselves.

Colonel Francisco originally looked down on the Ming Dynasty, an ancient oriental country, but the rotten ships of the Ming Dynasty also had three catties of nails. Portugal, a maritime power, failed to attack the Ming Dynasty several times, so the Spanish and Philippine governor Corquera was very scrupulous about this. The huge ancient empire, Taiwan Island is now just a private army of local warlords of the Ming Dynasty. Without the support of the ancient empire of the Ming Dynasty, Colonel Francisco is full of confidence in defeating the Xue family army and occupying Taiwan Island.

So Colonel Francisco, while reporting the situation of Taiwan Island to the Governor of the Philippines, Coquera, began to step up the occupation of the southern part of Taiwan. Finally, in June this year, an armed conflict occurred with the Xue family army in the south. The continuous fighting made Fo Colonel Francisco’s troops killed and injured thousands of people. The combat effectiveness of the Ming Dynasty Xue’s army impressed Colonel Francisco. If it hadn’t been for the Governor of the Philippines, Coquera, who agreed to his plan, 200 soldiers came in line ( [-] Spanish soldiers, [-] servants and mercenaries in the Philippines), Colonel Francisco may be ready to sue for peace.

Colonel Francisco, who received reinforcements, fought a protracted battle with Xue's army on the front line of Hsinchu and Yilan. Colonel Francisco, who went into battle in person, saw Xue's army's grenades, explosive packs and muzzle guns before he knew this. The hot weapons of the Xue family army of the Ming Dynasty did not lose to themselves. The muskets of the Kingdom of Spain only had certain advantages in range and hit rate.

At this time, Colonel Francisco knew that he had encountered a difficult situation. While continuing to seek help from his superior, the Philippine Governor Coquera, he also expressed his goodwill to the Pingpu Fan and Gaoshan Fan in northern Taiwan, and lobbied the Pingpu Fan and Gaoshan Fan. The tribe assisted the Spanish army in defeating the Xue family army of the Ming Dynasty to share the benefits.

Colonel Francisco's efforts were not in vain. At the end of August, 500 reinforcements from the Philippines arrived, and there were 25 medium warships. Colonel Francisco, the governor of the Philippines, attacked Xue's army in the first ten days of September. The Spanish army on the southern front dispatched 1000 warships, 2000 Spanish regular troops, [-] mercenaries, and [-] naval musketeers.

Colonel Francisco thought that the plan of his boss, the Governor of the Philippines Coquera, was too great, so Colonel Francisco organized his own 1000 direct descendants and more than 800 tribal armed forces, a total of more than [-] people, and pushed to the end Hsinchu and Yilan were on standby and launched a general attack on Xue's army on the [-]th of September.

Xue's army retreated after a short battle. Colonel Francisco thought he had won, and ordered the whole army to pursue Xue's army. On the evening of the seventh day of September, the Spanish coalition forces led by Colonel Francisco were defeated by [-] Xue's army and Taiwanese tribesmen. Army surrounded the Taichung area, followed by a brutal offensive and defensive battle.

Fortunately, with the technical support of the Taiwan Institute of Science and Technology, Lu Bo's expanded gunpowder factory received a new gunpowder formula from the master of Wang Gong Factory in Beijing, which greatly improved the power of the explosive package and the shooting distance of the fire system. Brought to Taichung, especially the high-explosive package became a sharp weapon to blow up the Spanish army.

The Xue family army besieged the Spanish army on all sides, and kept gnawing at the small Spanish troops. At this time, Xue Polu got the news that the Spanish navy and army had landed in Kaohsiung. The Xue family army on Taiwan Island was facing a north-south attack. , Pingtung, the front line is strictly guarded against death, and at the same time ordered Lian Xiongwei's troops to mobilize troops to support.

Xue Polu hated the Spanish devils so much. In order to end the battle on the northern front as soon as possible and get rid of the two-sided attack of the Spaniards, Xue Polu sent out dead soldiers to attack the Spanish army positions with heavy rewards. Hundreds of warriors carried explosives Bao rushed up, blowing up trenches and forts one by one, and devoured the Spanish army with the technique of moving ants.

At this moment, Shibazhi, the Pirates of Yaogang, also mobilized their troops, causing Xue Polu to have some concerns, and strengthened the defense of Yaogang to the west, which gave the Spanish army an opportunity to attack on the first besieged area. On the night of the tenth day, they were divided into several routes and broke out from three directions: east, west, north, and east. Except for Colonel Francisco and other more than 1000 soldiers who escaped, the rest of the remaining more than 2000 Spanish allied forces were captured dead. The leader of the reinforcements, Major Billista, was captured during the breakout Random shooting.

Yu Si led 5000 people from the headquarters of Xue Jiajun, Minjun, You Qianzong, Fang Qianzong, Zhang Sanzhu, and Yu Dahui, and surrounded the Spanish army in the city of Santo Domingo in a chicken coop. Xue Polu led the headquarters and the new army , Luo Erwa's 5000 marines went south to Kaohsiung to support Ji Tianen's troops who were fighting hard there, leaving 2000 new troops from the Xue family army to cooperate with the local forces to monitor the Zheng Zhilong pirate group in Hong Kong.

Xue Yun was very happy to learn that the Northern Front had won the victory. However, the Xue family army and the civilian army sacrificed 4000 people. Among them, more than 300 warriors carried explosives and blasted the sacrifices. Ten to three, ten warriors went to blast Spain. People, at least three people will die and three people will be injured, all because the Spaniards were equipped with advanced linen shell bullets, and because the Xue family army suffered heavy losses, and all [-] Spanish coalition captives were killed.

Yan Sanniang continued: "Brother, I finally received news that the second uncle fought in Kaohsiung and lost hundreds of people to each other. Two thousand soldiers, the exchange ratio between the two sides is one to three, the main reason is the lack of good muskets."

Xue Yun asked: "The northern front has won. How many advanced muskets have been seized?"

Yan Sanniang said: "The Spaniards' good front-loading guns are only equipped with their regular troops. The firearms of the Filipino mercenaries are far behind. Most of the tribal soldiers participating in the war in Taiwan still use cold weapons. According to the habit of weapons, there will be no more than [-] muzzle-loading guns in good condition, and with the seizures in the previous two battles, nearly a thousand muzzle-loading guns have been obtained."

Xue Yun said: "The Spaniards on the northern front are doing nothing on land, but the Spanish army on the southern front should not be underestimated. After all, the Philippines is relatively close to Kaohsiung, so it is very convenient to support the Spanish troops who landed."

Yan Sanniang said: "It's a pity that the main force of our Xue family army's navy is on the Yalu River, otherwise the three, four and five fleets of the big officers would not have to take a defensive position against the Spanish navy."

Xue Yun knew that among the three, four, and five fleets of the Xue family's army, only the three three-masted battleships "Huashan", "Hengshan", and "Hengshan" were suitable for large-scale naval battles, but the Spanish Navy had five three-masted warships in the Kaohsiung waters of the same level, and Twenty medium warships and troop carriers, three three-masted battleships of the Xue family army fought against five three-masted warships of the Spanish navy. Because of the lack of artillery, only two of the three-story gun bays of the Xue family army were in use, and the naval training was much inferior to that of the Spanish navy. Relying on the support of the army on the shore, neither Xue Polu, Yan Sanniang, nor Xue Yun dared to fight lightly.

This made Xue Yun very regretful that the "Yangtze River", "Yellow River" and "Taishan" were not in Taiwan, but there is no point in blaming Zuo Ming. Great interests not only dealt a heavy blow to Jianlu, but also turned North Korea into a vassal state of Xue's army to a certain extent.

Xue Yun asked about the situation of Chu Yi, Xue Shishi, Xue Keji and others. Yan Sanniang told Xue Yun that these people are doing very well, not only in terms of people's livelihood, but also because of the invasion of the Spanish army, Chu Yi, Xue Shishi, Xue Keji and the others not only cooperated well with the Second Uncle's battle, but also wiped out several rebellious tribal armed forces, so that other Pingpu Fan and Gaoshan Fan did not dare to act rashly.

Lihewa, Sihong, has a radius of tens of miles, and was secretly controlled by Yan Sanniang and Ren Shenglin's troops, so Xue Yun's [-] cavalry were also stationed at ease. The surrounding villages where Xue Yun and Yan Sanniang were located were completely closed Yes, there is no problem in terms of safety. Xue Yun and Yan Sanniang had to lie on the bed and chat when it was dark after dinner.

Yan Sanniang's hand accidentally touched Xue Yun's protruding lower part. It felt like she was touching a vajra pestle. Yan Sanniang's hand softened and rested on it. Getting up quickly, Xue Yun's dick was stimulated and began to swell a little more, lifting Yan Sanniang's hand, Yan Sanniang quickly retracted her hand with a flushed face.

Yan Sanniang was silent for a while and said, "Husband, you are suffering from depression, I will call two female soldiers to put the fire out for you."

Although Xue Yun's desire has not subsided, he is still unwilling to find female soldiers to solve his physical problems. He is happy for a while, but these female soldiers are not as good as his eyesight, so he will naturally not continue to develop with them. Well, Xue Yun took a deep breath secretly to slow down his rapid heartbeat and said with difficulty: "Sister, go to sleep, no need."
