Chapter 321 Recover Taiwan
There are two waterways leading to Taiwan, one is the southern channel between the Kun body and the tail of the north line. The mouth is wide and the water is deep, but the enemy ships defend it;
The other is the Luermen channel at the northern end of the North Line Island. The intersection is narrow and the water is silted and sand can only pass when the tide is high. The Dutch army has no defense there, only built a small house, and sent a sergeant to lead 6 soldiers to garrison.
After exploring this information, Zheng Chenggong formulated a plan to avoid the "Dagang" under the control of Dutch artillery fire and land directly on the Taiwan island through Luermen Port.
Wang Xuejun took an irresistible attitude towards such a plan.
In fact, with Wang Xuejun's original intention and strength comparison is absolutely unequal, there is no need to do such a thing. It's all about killing gods and Buddhas.
On May 14th, in Chaoyang, Wang Xuejun and Zheng Chenggong worshiped the gods of heaven and earth, and then fired cannons to go out to war.
The fleet took advantage of the high tide and passed through Luermen Harbor safely. A lucky ship faced the enemy tower bunker outside the port. The Dutch guarded him gave a flowering bullet.
With one shot, the enemy building disappeared from everyone's sight.
Zheng Chenggong sent five warships and occupied the port without bloodshed.
The army continued to move forward without hesitation.
At this time, the God of Heaven was no longer beautiful. For a moment, the storm was storm, and the thunder was roaring, and huge waves were surging.
The dark huge waves like mountains are coming to the face in rows, making the world change color.
Whether to move forward or not becomes the focus of debate for a while.
The Japanese Zheng Jiajia general Xie Jihara strongly suggested moving forward.
But Yang Ying, a fellow literati, opposed: "When you come out, the waves are calm, and when you enter the sea area under Taiwan, it will be a strong wind. God will warn you that there will be many dangers in going to Taiwan. We cannot go against the will of heaven. We should withdraw back to Kinmen and pray to the god of the sea to eliminate the disaster."
Wang Xuejun sneered at this idealism and the induction of heaven and man, but in this era, everyone believed in this so-called induction of heaven and man.
So many people agreed and many people gave in.
And at this time, there was another news coming from behind that a troop ship capsized in the waves and lost three hundred soldiers.
This immediately made more people think that it would be unlucky to lose their troops before they could go out. As a result, more people became even more timid and demanded to go back to Kagoshima Port to shelter the wind.
To be honest, Wang Xuejun was also a little worried at this time that he had brought himself here after a storm. Don’t continue to move forward. Where will God do it in such a storm?
That time, I was a little fisherman, a bachelor, and I could go anywhere. What's more, I got a huge treasure for compensation?
But now it is not possible. I have a wife and concubine who I love deeply, and a pair of extremely cute children.
Now even if God gives himself the entire universe, he will never exchange his wife and children with him.
The flagship Zhiyuan swayed violently, and lightning flashed across the sky one after another, and Wang Xuejun's face shining brightly.
Yu Minzhong saw that Wang Xuejun was going to give in, so he hurriedly hid in his ear: "Your Majesty, you are shooting the bow at this time and there is no turning back. Once you order to retreat, the morale of the army will be depressed and the Taiwanese people will be disappointed. It also gives the Dutch time to prepare for war. Once the Dutch strengthens preparation for war, once we get reinforcements, we will have greater difficulties or no chance at all."
Yu Minzhong means that even if Zheng Chenggong doesn’t do it, he will still do it alone.
Such a reminder made Wang Xuejun feel ashamed of his cowardice just now.
So, I stood up and stood in the shaking cabin, and stood extremely stable: "Everyone, let me say a few words."
Facing the regent who was still as moving as a mountain in the strong wind and waves, all the old pirates of the Zheng faction had to admire Wang Xuejun's calmness and calmness.
Everyone knows that Wang Xuejun has always claimed to be a northerner.
A land duck from the north can be so calm and composed on this sea and in the power of nature where ghosts and gods are afraid of it, which makes these old pirates feel ashamed.
Zheng Chenggong respectfully saluted Wang Xuejun: "What do you mean by the prince?"
Wang Xuejun said calmly: "We are known to everyone in the world. Once we withdraw, the morale of the military will be greatly hit and the enthusiasm of the Taiwanese people will be lost. It also gives the Dutch the opportunity to prepare for war. The next time we want to go out, our soldiers will have the idea that God is unwilling to conquer Taiwan, and the morale of the military will be slackened. At that time, it may become a long time to recover Taiwan."
The generals of the Zheng faction looked at each other, nodded silently, and agreed with Wang Xuejun's statement.
"So, no matter whether you continue to move forward or not, my Xinming fleet will move forward and will never give up until it recovers Taiwan. Then I will announce that the establishment of Xinming Province in Taiwan will be held, and this prince will send troops to take charge of the jurisdiction."
As soon as these words were said, everyone's hearts were stuttering.
At this time, everyone suddenly remembered that they and the Regent on the opposite side were not in the same group, but were just allies.
He was a minister of the Longwu court, and the regent of the Ming Dynasty in front of him was the head of Xinming.
Everyone knows that now facing the powerful enemy of the Qing Dynasty, everyone is at peace and can help each other and relieve each other's pressure.
But once the pressure of the Qing Dynasty is removed, everyone will inevitably go their separate ways, fighting each other in order to fight for orthodoxy.
Even if the Qing Dynasty was expelled from the Central Plains, it was the current situation. Once this joint operation failed, Wang Xuejun would no longer care about everyone's life and death.
Now that Emperor Longwu is in Guangxi, it is in danger. If it weren't for the regent in front of him, seeing that the Longwu court still had a little value to use and to support him, you don't have to think about it that the Longwu court would have long been destroyed by the Qing Dynasty.
At the same time, my own power was isolated from the entire court, isolated from the Kinmen, and with the full support of Wang Xuejun, he survived to this day.
If the two families parted ways this time, Wang Xuejun would no longer support him with all his strength.
And with a small Kinmen, facing the powerful Qing army without any foreign aid or depth, I couldn't support it for long in any case.
Then Taiwan will become everyone's last destination.
But this time Wang Xuejun has expressed his attitude. This time he will recover Taiwan at all costs, and then include Taiwan within his jurisdiction, leaving troops to establish officials to rule.
Once such a situation occurs, if you lose to Kinmen, will Taiwan take in it?
The answer is very obvious. Wang Xuejun will never let another force divide Taiwan equally with him.
By then, everyone will become lonely ghosts, and in the end there will be only two ways to go: either bury in the sea or surrender to the Qing Dynasty.
If we surrender to the Qing Dynasty, we shouldn’t think about it. If everyone had the intention of going north with their old bosses, they would have gone north to Beijing. Why would they support their young bosses and cause this division?
What's wrong with pirates? Pirates also have patriotic enthusiasm and the backbone of resolutely not to be slaves to barbarians.
There is no need to mobilize passionately, just spread the matter out.
Follow me and continue to regain Taiwan. We are still allies. I will leave Taiwan to you as your foothold. What will happen in the future? Let’s talk about it later.
If you don’t conquer Taiwan with me now, you will die without a place to bury it.
