Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 499
After more than two months of rest and supplies, the 20 naval divisions of the Ming army were ready to go.

Lin Yi could have been in Fuzhou, with a strong army, millions of soldiers, and thousands of generals. It is the formation of the giant ship Yangwei, and it is no problem to regain Taiwan and drive away the red-haired sons.

Ji Dong can completely live his imperial court life in the palace built for him by Zheng Zhilong in Fuzhou.

But Lin Yi didn't do that, it's still the same sentence, if that's the case, how good it would be for him to stay in Beijing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, to review the memorials, the Sangong and the Sixth Court, singing and dancing, and the king's visit to the world, why should he personally conquest?Now he wants to personally command this big battle, not just to expel, but to wipe out these red-haired boys.

For these Dutch red-haired boys, Ji Dong has of course made plans these days.

It can be despised strategically, but it must be taken seriously tactically.After all, Hong Maozi's naval fleet is the number one power at sea. This is an indisputable fact. Spain and Portugal have all withdrawn from the stage now, and the Dutch navy is left alone, a veritable sea coachman. Their merchant ships and warships travel all over the world , there are their colonies everywhere, domineering and domineering.

For such an overlord of the sea with strong ships and powerful guns, Ji Dong must of course pay attention to some strategies.Regardless of the complete victory in the Zhoushan naval battle, the Dutch red-haired warship was scared away again in the Fujian waters.But in the Zhoushan naval battle, they mainly faced merchant ships and warships of the escort formation. There were not many warships of the Dutch red-haired son, so they could only be regarded as a small group of enemies.As for scaring away the later red-haired boys, they must have been prepared these days, and we are attacking them now, not him attacking us.This is absolutely different. Crossing the Taiwan Strait, landing operations, and annihilating the navy of these red-haired Dutchmen, and breaking down their castles, these are not easy tasks.

Forewarned is forearmed, without prejudging the waste.

Therefore, during the two-month rest period, Lin Yi made repeated investigations and calculations on how to cross the Taiwan Strait to deal with the Dutch red-haired boys and recover Treasure Island, and now he finally has a mature plan.

Ji Dong was sitting on top of the golden hall, and the men and women on both sides had their armors in order, and they were all in high spirits.As soon as they heard that they were going to fight across the sea now, they were all gearing up to deal with these red-haired boys who did all kinds of crimes, and their blood boiled with enthusiasm.

Especially Zheng Chenggong, Liu Guoxuan, and Shi Lang, the old ministers under Zheng Zhilong's subordinates, they have long been full of national hatred for these red-haired boys.

Even when Zheng Zhilong cooperated with them, the two parties were only for their own interests, and they simply couldn't get together with sand and clay.Floating across the ocean from Europe to the land of China, lingering on, showing off one's might, and running rampant, is tolerable or unbearable!

Now Lord Jian Guo is finally going to use the power of the Ming Dynasty to drive them out. These hateful red-haired boys have been doing evil in Taiwan for a long time.During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, they coveted this treasure island and came to harass it. During the Tianqi period, it intensified. In the Chongzhen period, they built cities and fortresses, so they simply didn't plan to leave.

Counting the four dynasties of the Ming Dynasty, the Lord Jianguo took back Baodao, completed the unification of the motherland, expelled the colonists like Hongmaozi, and realized the imperial court's sovereignty over Taiwan.This is something that is difficult for the courts of Wanli, Tianqi and Chongzhen to do.

Therefore, their national passions were all ignited.

Lin Yi looked at the generals present, "Everyone, since ancient times, those who offend our Celestial Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away they are. Now that I, Lin Yi, supervise the Ming Dynasty, I will never allow these red-haired bastards to come to our sea area to make trouble. This time, we must do it." Annihilation."

When Lin Yi said this, Xiaoying, Zhezhe, Su Moer, Xing Wanfang, Zhang Hua, Wang Jian, Dongsheng, Wang Qi, Zheng Chenggong, Shi Lang, Liu Guoxuan, Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Zhiwan, Mu Tianbo, Song Xiance, Li Yan, Gao Guiying, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, Gao Yigong, Tian Jianxiu, Yuan Zongdi, Liu Fangliang, Li Guo, Li Laiheng, Ma Xianglin, Qin Jiming, Ma Wannian, Huang Degong, Liu Zeqing, Jiangyin Sangong and Mongolian generals Su Butai and Tieshubuhua , Minmin Mutel and other generals all saluted upwards and said in unison: "Master Jian Guo is mighty, if you offend me, Ming Dynasty will be punished even if you are far away, please give me an order!"

With so many talents and a huge lineup of generals, there is no need for so many generals, only sailors are enough.

Lin Yi planned to dispatch 20 sailors to divide into four groups, and the remaining 60 soldiers on the road would be on standby in Fujian.

The four groups of soldiers and horses were led by Zheng Chenggong, Shi Lang and Liu Guoxuan. Zheng Chenggong was the chief general, Shi Lang and Liu Guoxuan were the lieutenants. Three generals and 10 sailors were given to them. They set off from Kinmen Island and went straight to the Penghu Islands. This is Hongmaozi's naval base.

Lin Yi has already found out that most of Hongmaozi's warships are there. If a 10-strong army causes soldiers to overwhelm the border, Hongmaozi's main warships will definitely be attracted to the Penghu area.

Then the second group of troops, led by Lin Yi himself, led a fleet of 1 ships, with the giant ship Yangwei as the core, departing from Quanzhou Bay, crossing the Taiwan Strait, and preparing to land and fight in Taiwan.

The third naval division has a total of 5 troops. Liu Wenxiu is in charge of going to the Leizhou Peninsula and Qiongzhou, which is later known as Hainan Island, to guard the western gateway of the Daming Sea and cut off the return of the Dutch red-haired boys. A rescue naval fleet came over, and they were responsible for cooperating with the forts on the shore to intercept and block.

The remaining 4 sailors are in charge of Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Zhiwan, who are mainly responsible for the supplies of the three navy troops, including food, grass and ammunition.

Ji Dong's deployment for this battle is a three-pronged approach, not only to destroy the navy of the Dutch red-haired men, but also to break through their castles, so that these red-haired men will never recover.

After the assignment, the generals of the sea divisions prepared to go one after another. The soldiers on the shore saw that they had not been assigned to the deployment. They were a little resentful and resentful. Who made themselves not the generals of the navy?Wouldn't it be beautiful if he could follow Mr. Jian Guo to show his skills in naval battles and islands, kill the red-haired colonial invaders, defend the country and make new achievements?Too bad they're not sailors...

On the day when the Ming army set off, the hundreds of miles of coastline along the coast of Fujian were filled with the Ming army, with more than 2000 naval warships of various types.

Zheng Chenggong, Liu Guoxuan, Shi Lang and the others are of course the main force. Thousands of warships sailed out of Kinmen Island and headed towards Penghu. The battleships of Ming Dynasty lined up the sea, and the battle flags fluttered in the sea breeze. The momentum was huge. , is spectacular.

In a bay more than 200 miles east of Kinmen, Lin Yi's Yangwei formation has a total of 1 new troops from the Ming Navy, all of whom are on board, including nearly 400 of his female special forces battalion. Dozens of warships guard this huge ship The ship slowly sailed out of the naval port.

This navy came to Taiwan in a straight line, with the goal of Taichung City in later generations, where Lin Yi chose to land and fight.

These two naval fleets are undoubtedly the main force to attack Taiwan...

Hongmaozi is building large-scale construction projects from Chixian City on Zhiwan Island to Zeelandia City, from Taichung to Tainan. Of course, all the people who come here to do hard work are Taiwanese natives, including Gaoshan people.They were enslaved by the red-haired sons, built cities and forts, fixed city defenses and coastal defenses, and tens of thousands of Taiwanese were forced to work hard for them, day and night. Dead and beaten to death abound every day.

These Taiwanese residents don’t dare to resist now. They had an uprising before, but now the red-haired people have increased their troops, not only merchants and merchant ships, but also a large number of warships from Europe. A large number of red-haired people with live ammunition landed on this island. Undoubtedly a disaster for the local residents.

Wei Malang, the general manager of the Dutch East India Company in Taiwan, has been aware of the seriousness of the situation since he was scared away by Lin Yi's Ming army fleet in Fujian waters last time.He never thought that the navy of the Ming army would become so powerful, and the Yangwei impressed him the most.

Zheng Zhilong's southern army couldn't hold back at all, retreating steadily, surrounded by brothers, the Ming Dynasty settled Zheng Zhilong, and would definitely not give up with them, so Wei Malang immediately wrote to the King of the Netherlands, stating his interests.

Soon the Dutch Navy came over with more than 6000 people and more than 200 warships, including the most powerful battleship Mingweis, and the original red hair in the Zhiwan area was close to 2, and there were more than 500 large and small warships, all of which were powerful. three-masted battleship.

Then Ma Lang, his assistant Fan Delan, and the new governor Kui Yi reused the traitors He Bin and Guo Huaiyi, enslaved the locals to build castles for them, and fixed the city defenses and coastal defenses day and night. scale.

On this day, Wei Malang suddenly received a report that Zheng Zhilong had unconditionally accepted the Ming court's offer of peace, and the Great Southern Emperor had died.

What Wei Malang was worried about finally came. Zheng Zhilong surrendered to Ming Dynasty, which means that the civil war in Ming Dynasty is over, and a unified sovereign empire stands tall. Running away is a living example.

He immediately called Vanderlan, Governor Kui Yi, and traitors He Bin and Guo Huaiyi to discuss countermeasures.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, don't worry, it's okay if the Ming army doesn't come. If they come, they won't come back." Governor Kui glanced at his mouth and said disdainfully.

Wei Malang didn't take it seriously. He used to be more arrogant and unscrupulous than this Kui Yi, but now he has restrained himself a lot. He knows that the ancient Eastern Empire is a sleeping lion. Now that it wakes up, it will hurt people. You must not underestimate your opponent. , otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

"How does Your Excellency Governor plan to deal with the Ming army?"

"There are so many castles, and so many naval warships. With such defenses, they are impenetrable. Can't they sit back and relax? One Mingweis is enough to teach them a lesson."
