Chapter 118: The Rebellion of Fujian (5)

If there is a real person with a heart, he will find that these days, there are surprisingly many messengers from Lingnan to Guanzhong.

Because someone kept relaying the news, the difference between the time for Yun Zhao to get the news and the time when what actually happened in Lingnan was less than fifteen days.

Therefore, every news that Yun Zhao saw was a real ** that happened fifteen days ago.

When the news of the bombing of Zheng Zhihu's temple and the killing of 562 people under Zheng Zhilong came, it was already midnight.

After Yun Zhao got up and read the paperwork, he hurriedly returned to the big study and gave a lot of orders to Yang Xiong and Qian Shaoshao.

Before dawn, countless messengers left Yushan City in a hurry.

Nowadays, the entire land of Fujian is looking for the murderer who killed Zheng Zhilong, especially Zheng Zhilong's younger brother Zheng Zhibao, and Zheng Zhilong's son Zheng Jing are the most crazy.

Zheng Zhibao did not hesitate to offer a reward of 10,000 gold and searched all over the world for the traces of the murderer, as for Zheng Jing, he had already searched for Liu Xiang's remnants in linen and filial piety.

Because, on the day Zheng Zhilong arrived at Zheng Zhihu Temple, it was Liu Xiang's remnants who were planning to assassinate Zheng Zhilong.

The killing of Zheng Zhilong also frightened the rest of the characters in the Eighteen Zhi.

They couldn't believe that Zheng Zhilong's 500 guards were wiped out on Humen Beach like this.

Zheng Zhilong once boasted about Haikou, saying that as long as the five hundred guards under his command were there, although the world was big, he could go there.

Now, except for the bodies of Shi Lang and the other six guards, the rest of the people have been found more or less, so some people think that if there is no internal response, these five hundred guards would not have been killed on the beach without even fighting back.

This was first said by Zheng Zhibao.

Then, Zheng Jing, who was furious like a beast and wore filial piety, killed Shi Lang's entire family without saying anything.

The battlefield was extremely clean by those men, except for the traces of gunpowder explosions, shrapnel and lead bullets dug up from the guards, and they basically found nothing superfluous.

The Eighteen Zhizhong people restored the process of the bombing of the Zhengzhi Tiger Temple...... Then they took aim at the Dutch!

Only the Dutch had so many firearms, and only the Dutch could have used gunpowder so skillfully.

They even found a hiding hole dug by the man in black in the ground.

On the ninth day of October, Zheng Zhilong's first seven.

Someone in the Eighteen Zhi people suggested that the snake could not be headless, and a new leader should be elected in the Eighteen Zhizhong.

Zheng Zhibao proposed his nephew Zheng Jing as the leader, but was rejected by the eighteen Zhizhong people on the grounds that his mind was not successful and he had no merit, and only gave Zheng Jing the position of deputy leader.

At this time, Zheng Zhibao stood up and overwhelmed the crowd with the reason that he inherited his brother's ambition and insisted on his nephew's position as the leader, and became the boss of Eighteen Zhi.

However, most of the people in the Eighteen Zhizhong were unruly pirates, and when Zheng Zhilong was there, no one dared to oppose Zheng Zhilong.

At the beginning, Zheng Zhilong killed Xu Xinsu, killed Li Kuiqi, killed Liu Xiang, defeated the Dutch, befriended the Japanese, and reclaimed Taiwan, which became the overlord of the Oriental Sea.

Even the Dutch could not trade directly with the Japanese without Zheng Zhilong.

His prestige is completely fought with a knife and a gun, and no one dares to ignore him.

Now, Zheng Zhilong is dead, and the biggest stone that weighed on the new shipment of a group of pirates has finally been removed.

For a time, people's minds changed.

It was not only the pirates who were bent on changing, but even the Dutch, who were entrenched on the island of Taiwan, thought that their opportunity had come and began to quietly approach the Penghu Islands.

The most important part of Hanlingshan's plan is to provoke a war!

He never thought that he could be invincible at sea, so after killing Zheng Zhilong, he took advantage of the right wind direction and went straight to Zhangzhou Mansion non-stop.

This time his target will be the Dutchman!

At this time, the Zheng family was a powder keg, and it only took a spark and a half to explode.

Han Lingshan plans to make this Mars.

The power of the Zheng clan in the Eighteen Zhi is too huge, if they can't draw their attention away, it will still be difficult for Lantian County to expand its power in the land of Fujian.

This is also an important reason why Zheng Zhibao dares to cooperate with the Yun family, he firmly believes that there is a strong Zheng family, and the Yun family, the tiger on the mountain, even if he wants to take advantage, is only a part of business.

The Yun Clan's trade object was obviously the far-sea pirate force they had placed in Malacca, and it was impossible to compete with him for the maritime trade routes of Japan, Taiwan, and even Korea.

As long as the Zheng clan firmly controls these three places, they can be invincible.

What he didn't know was that Yun Zhao, a wild boar, could not have an appetite that could be filled with a little maritime trade.

Since the Battle of Penghu, there are basically no Ming people on the Penghu Islands, and it has become a paradise for pirates, who occupy islands with water sources, like a country outside the law.

For anyone who is familiar with the sea, the importance of the Penghu Islands is well known, occupying this place, you can reach the Matsu Islands, Dachen Island and Zhoushan Islands in the north, and the Dongsha Islands and Nansha Islands in the south.

And it has access to the southeast countries, remote control with Japan, North Korea all maritime trade business.

The Dutch understood that if they could not occupy the Penghu Islands while the Zheng family had no time to take care of them now, then in the future, the Zheng family would definitely use the Penghu Islands as a springboard to compete with them for the island of Taiwan.

It's nothing more than a matter of first and last, and at this point, the Dutch seem to be very smart.

In just six days, they captured Baisha Island, the third largest in the Penghu archipelago.

Chen Liu, a pirate stationed on Baisha Island, was unable to resist the heavy artillery fire of the Dutch armed merchant ships and had to retreat to the nearby Yuwen Island.

After Chen Liu's men fled to Yuweng Island in panic, they were greeted by a dense stream of guns and bullets.

More than 720 pirates under Chen Liu were all killed on the white sand of Yuweng Island.

As soon as Han Lingshan finished disposing of the bodies of Chen Liu and the others, the Dutch warship appeared on the sea level.

He stood in the coconut grove and looked through his binoculars for a while, and then waited for the Dutch to land.

He did not intend to compete with the Dutch at sea.

As soon as the tall and towering armed merchant ships approached Fisherman's Island, the island's artillery began to wield, but unfortunately, this small cannon had no effect except for throwing some splashes on the sea, and it did not even have the ability to deter the Dutch.

Smoke rose from the armed merchant ships, followed by countless black shells raining down, and in a short time, the rudimentary artillery positions on Yuweng Island were smashed into chaos.

Han Lingshan's brows furrowed, and he glanced at the coconut tree that had been broken by the cannonball, he didn't expect that the power of the Dutchman's artillery would be so sharp.

The armed merchant ships slowly approached the island, and when they reached the shallow water, a hundred and ten small boats were lowered from the two armed merchant ships, and the Dutch soldiers in iron armor shook their oars, and under the cover of artillery fire, began to land.

Under the cover of artillery fire from armed merchant ships, this battle was basically impossible to fight, so Han Lingshan ordered his five hundred subordinates to march towards the center of the island.

The Dutch, who didn't know that their opponents had changed, still paid enough attention to Chen Liu's pirates, and after they landed, they did not actively approach the island, but camped on the beach.

So, in the sunset, the scene of metal men swaying on the beach made Han Lingshan's subordinates quite afraid.

Seeing this, the four old thieves of Yushan smiled, and said to Han Lingshan to go and go back, and then went into the coconut grove.

An hour later, when it was completely dark, the old thieves of Yushan returned, and at the same time, dragged back two stunned Dutch soldiers.

Looking at the sparse noise of the Dutchman's armor, the long knife in Han Lingshan's hand slashed down, and the Dutch soldier who had just been woken up by the cold water screamed in horror when he saw this.

Before the screams stopped, his steel armor was actually split by the steel knife in Han Lingshan's hand, and the armor was split, but it did not hurt the flesh and skin of the Dutchman.

"But that's it!"

Han Lingshan spat out contemptuously, and said to the subordinates beside him, "It's your turn." ”

Fighting against these Dutchmen with red eyebrows and green eyes and demons, the subordinates may be timid, but these two demons are prisoners even if they are fierce, so the subordinates learned from Han Lingshan's appearance and slashed down with a heavy knife.

The strength was not enough, the accuracy was not good, the armor cut a half-foot-long wound, and the body was also cut out of the same long bloody wound.

Han Lingshan ignored the screams of the Dutchman, and said coldly to the deployers: "Next!" ”

One by one, one after another, until all five hundred men had been experimented, the two Dutchmen had been chopped to pulp, even with their armor and men.

"Fight like this tomorrow."

Han Lingshan glanced at the two piles of minced meat on the ground, and said, "If you are really afraid, find a piece of meat and eat it, so that you will not be afraid." ”

After saying that, he jumped into the hammock tied to the coconut tree, and fell asleep with the long knife in his arms.

I don't know if anyone eats those minced meat to strengthen their courage, but when he got up in the morning, Han Lingshan saw those Dutchmen holding fire guns and axes and guns and began to search the island.

Strangely, it was not a soldier who walked in the front, but a priest in a black hat, carrying an incense burner in his hand, chanting and following the direction of the commander.

Coupled with the tall flags, this upcoming war looks even more eerie.

Han Lingshan sneered, and when the priest and the two apprentices with no hair on their heads just walked into the range of the bow and arrow, they suddenly pulled the big bow, and with a "buzz" sound, a finger-thick feather arrow flew out.

Before the feathered arrows could hit the target, the bow was drawn twice in succession, and the three feathered arrows pierced the throats of the priest and the priest's apprentice almost simultaneously, and at the same time, more crossbow arrows were fired.

The Dutchman, who had been attacked suddenly, was only in a panic for a moment, and then raised his iron shield in front of him, firmly protecting himself on all sides.

Feather arrows, crossbow arrows, fell on the shield, clanged and fell to the ground.

The crossbow bolts didn't work, and Han Lingshan wasn't surprised.

Wave your hand to stop shooting arrows and wait for the Dutch to continue approaching.

The Dutch slowly advanced with their shields raised, their long axes and spears stretched forward, as if they wanted a hand-to-hand fight more than Han Lingshan.
