Deng Hong arched his hand and said, "Go back to your lord!" If you can say that Wu Sangui is used by my Ming Dynasty, even if you are crushed, you will not give up your humble position! ”

Wang Xinyu frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then taught: "If that Wu Sangui old thief is used by my Ming Dynasty, I don't expect much!" Mr. Deng doesn't have to force himself to be able to convince Wu Sangui! This man is cunning and cunning, the Tartar has given him enough benefits, and we can't give him anything, don't think about expecting him to help us! I only hope that Mr. Deng can know how to reason and move with affection, tell him the truth that rabbits and dead dogs cook birds and hide their bows, and let him not work too the Tartar court, otherwise the Tartars will definitely do something to him! ”

Deng Hong listened carefully to every word, and after a moment of brain turning, he understood: "Go back to your lordship, you know what to do!" Please rest assured! Humble duty will not disappoint adults! ”

"Remember, you must come back alive! If something goes wrong, you run away right away! If you can't come back here, go to King Jin! Wang Xinyu nodded solemnly.

"Thank you for your care!" Deng Hong arched his hand.

"Okay, you go down first, this official has to talk to Wang Junmen about something else here." Chan Kinnan Province.

"Two adults, retire first!" Deng Hong took his leave.

When Deng Hong left, Chen Jinnan said to Wang Xinyu: "I have found a candidate from the youth camp, this person is strong in martial arts, and he is smart and clever, so I will arrange that person to Shang Kexi's side." If Wang Junmen agrees, then go and meet the man. ”

"Okay, Ben will go over and have a look." Wang Xinyu replied.

After a trip to the youth camp, Wang Xinyu returned home and began to pack his bags and prepare for an expedition to Nanyang.

"Xianggong, let's go to Nanyang. Why don't you take your concubine with you? Zheng Yun asked when she helped pack up the salute.

"It's a long way to Nanyang, and it's all naval battles, so you female soldiers can't help much. When you take Singapore down, my husband will take you to see it. At that time, we will build another big courtyard over there with a view of the sea, facing the Strait of Malacca, not to mention how beautiful it is. When we have time, we go over there and stay. When the time comes, I will also bring Liu Er and those girls, so that they can also go over to see the outside world. Wang Xinyu replied.

"Husband, the road to Nanyang is long, the sea is stormy, and you have to fight with the red-haired ghost, husband, you must be careful!" Zheng Yun's eyes were a little red, and she was reluctant to let her husband wander outside.

Wang Xinyu gently hugged Zheng Yun in his arms and said with concern: "The lady is here alone, and she must take care of herself!" ”

On the morning of June 2, 1661. The wharf of Haikou was noisy, and the fleet that set sail for the South Seas pulled anchor and set sail. Flags are displayed on the wharf, and large flags are hunting with the sea breeze. The sea was like a forest of masts, and the rising sails were blown up. The sailors untied their cables, and one by one the huge ships left the dock and slid into the depths of the sea.

The fleet that went out was arguably one of the most powerful fleets in the Far East that year, this fleet had four cruisers of the fourth rank and three cruisers of the fifth rank. Eight Cormorant-class Rank 6 ships, plus the cruiser Hector and the Armed Galen Ship of the Five. There were also three Spanish galleons that had been converted, for a total of twenty-four ships large and small.

The Hector was largely unmoved, and the ship was originally a large Galen with a double-deck structure, with a sturdy hull structure and fierce firepower. The other five were armed with Galen ships, and their firepower was not very bad. Each ship had about twenty guns. The three Spanish galleons removed some guns with different calibers, unified the caliber of the guns on each deck, eliminated the gun mounts that could be rotated back and forth, and replaced them with fixed gun mounts of the British type. According to the British thinking, during naval battles, maintain salvo firepower and sink the opponent to the bottom of the sea at once.

The converted Spanish galleons also had the firepower of a fourth-class ship, each armed with eighteen twelve-pounder guns and twenty twenty-pounder guns, and two 32-pounder short-barreled guns with a rotating turret on the upper deck.

Wang Xinyu's expeditionary fleet totaled more than 5,000 officers and men of the Nanyang Navy and more than 2,000 men of the Nanyang Army.

Half a month's food is definitely not enough, Wang Xinyu will replenish food when he arrives at Yanping Port, Manila, Pontianak and other places, and will eventually prepare enough food for seven or eight months before launching an attack on Java Island.

The flotilla left Qiongzhou and headed for the port of Yanping on the island of Luzon.

On Dongfan Island, Zheng Jiajun is preparing to attack Utrecht Castle, south of the city of Reshaland.

There were more than 1,300 Dutch troops in the castle, only more than 1,700 family members, and more than 800 black slaves in the city. Due to some changes in history, Zheng Chenggong landed in Taiwan half a month late, giving him more than enough time to prepare, so that he recruited more than 900 local students from the local area to serve as slaves, plus Wang Xinyu's ship-seizing operation, more than 800 Dutch sailors were also left ashore, so that the Dutch soldiers, sailors, family members, and slaves in the city of Resharan added up to more than 3,000 people, but there were more than 1,000 Dutch soldiers who really had combat effectiveness.

Zheng Chenggong wrote a letter of persuasion to Yu Yi a few days ago, but was refused. He believes that although there are many Ming soldiers, the Dutch have a strong castle defense, and the castle of Resharan is much stronger than the small castle in the city of Prominsia, even if it is bombarded by large-caliber artillery, it is difficult to collapse the castle, and there are cannons on the castle, which can condescendingly hit the opponent's artillery position. If the opponent storms the city of Reshalan, he will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

Zheng Chenggong could not attack Resharan City by means of ant siege, he could only use artillery bombardment to attack the city.

According to Wang Xinyu's suggestion, after capturing the castle of Utrecht on the high ground, he could condescendingly set up a mortar to bombard the city of Reshalan. However, the shells fired from the direct fire cannons in the city could not fly over the hill and hit the mortars set on the north side of the hillside.

Zheng's army had captured the town of Dayuan, recruited more than 5,000 local Han Chinese to serve as auxiliaries, built fortifications such as forts and fortifications in this town, and prepared to erect cannons to bombard Utrecht Castle on the high ground.

The Dutch discovered that Zheng's army had landed and entered Dayuan Town, and immediately launched a fierce artillery bombardment on Dayuan Town.

The Dutch on the city of Resharan were condescending, and the artillery on the Half Moon City and the fortress fired in unison, and the shells continued to fall into the town, smashing the houses and collapsing, and the soldiers of the Zheng family were flying with blood and flesh, and suffered heavy casualties. At the same time, the Dutch also organized death squads, organized forty musketeers, fifty pikemen and twenty sailors, and brought two hundred archers and spearmen composed of blacks and local native slaves to launch a counterattack under the cover of the city's artillery.

Zheng Jiajun hid in the house, using birds, flintlock pistols, bows and arrows, and small cannons to stop the Dutch who counterattacked.

The Dutch at the head of the city of Resharan condescended and fired fiercely, and the artillery fire was intensive, causing the houses in Dayuan town to collapse one after another, and the Zheng Jiajun who stopped the Dutch was killed and wounded more than 300 people.

The Dutch attacked the city, killing some of the auxiliaries who were building the fortifications of the castle and destroying several small cannons, before the Dutch retreated into the city. In the Dutch counteroffensive, eleven Dutch soldiers were killed and more than 30 wounded. Twenty-two black slaves and local acquaintances were killed and more than fifty wounded.

The Dutch retreated, and Zheng Jiajun continued to build fortifications.

When it was dark, the Dutch once again organized their forces to launch a large-scale counterattack in an attempt to drive the Zheng army into the sea.

About two hundred Dutch soldiers, with three hundred slaves and a hundred sailors, attacked the town of Dayuan.

Zheng Jiajun fired at long-range tiger cannons, bird guns, and bows and arrows, killing and wounding some of the slaves in front. The Dutch also counterattacked with arquebuses, and under the cover of the cannons at the head of the city, they launched a fierce attack on the town of Dayuan.

Artillery rumbled, guns roared, and smoke billowed from the battlefield. The Dutch artillery, fired condescendingly at the head of the city of Reshaland, was the greatest threat to Zheng's army. The cannonballs smashed into Dayuan Town, and houses continued to collapse, and the soldiers of the Zheng family, who were unfortunately shot, were smashed to pieces by the rolling and jumping shells. Heavy shells hit houses, and the splinters caused secondary damage.

The Zheng family soldiers resisted stubbornly and killed and wounded many black Dutch slave soldiers who rushed to the front.

When the Dutch invaded the town, the iron men of the Zheng family army appeared, and with the invulnerable iron armor on their bodies, they continuously cut down the hand-to-hand combat soldiers of the Dutch and the black slaves, and repelled the attack of the Dutch.

The second counterattack by the Dutch caused more than 200 casualties among the Zheng army, most of which were caused by the shelling of the Dutch. The Dutch, who invaded the city, also set fire to some buildings. The Dutch, on the other hand, lost 21 Dutch soldiers killed and 42 wounded, 13 sailors killed and 8 wounded, 36 slaves killed and nearly 100 wounded.

After repelling the Dutch counterattack, Zheng Jiajun dug a trench to stop the Dutch counterattack, and with the help of the buildings in Dayuan Town, piled up a large number of sandbags and began to build castles and forts.

During the construction of the fortifications by Zheng Jiajun, although the Dutch continued to shell Dayuan Town, destroying many houses and destroying some unfinished fortifications, Zheng Jiajun quickly repaired them and built artificial sand dunes with sand for reinforcement. Sand has a good defensive effect on solid shells, which can reduce the projectile bounce and absorb the energy of the projectile.

In Dingguo Bay, Luzon, a few hundred miles away from Taiwan, a huge fleet of ships sailed from the open sea into the bay.

The fleet led by Wang Xinyu entered Dingguo Bay and sailed into the Yanping River.

"There's a fleet coming!" The laborers and auxiliaries who were busy on the construction site of Yanping City shouted.

"It's our own fleet!" The sharp-eyed Lin Furong saw the Daming flag hoisted by the ship and shouted loudly.

At this time, although Lin Furong was a strong man who went to sea, he was already a village chief with tens of thousands of acres of tuntian and more than 300 military tun households under his command. These military cantonments are half-military and half-civilian in nature, and they farm on weekdays, and if there is a threat, they can take up arms to resist the invaders at any time. But if they could not resist it, they withdrew to the city and defended it. However, at present, there is nothing that can threaten Lin Furong's strength, and the surrounding Shengfan tribes have been almost wiped out by the Tuwang of Banshilan, and the Banshilan tribe is a familiar fan of the pro-Han people.
