Wanzhou Qiongzhou Mansion City, Guangdong Qiongzhou General Military Mansion.

"Why! Why do the Taixi people have trouble with Lao Tzu! In the General Army's Mansion, the roar of Gao Jinku sounded.

Gao Jinku, originally a subordinate general under Gao Jie, the general of King Chuang, later surrendered to Nanming, and Gao Jinku followed him to Xuzhou and became a deputy general. Gao Jie was killed in Suizhou by Xu Dingguo, who secretly surrendered to the Manchus, and Gao Jinku later led his army to surrender to Duoduo and became a retainer.

When Jin Hengsheng and Li Chengdong raised troops against the Qing Dynasty, Gao Jinku cut off the connection between Li Chengdong and Jin Hengsheng in Ganzhou, not only blocking Jin Hengsheng's attack in the north, but also blocking Li Chengdong's reinforcements. In the end, Nanchang was later broken by Tan Tai's Qing army, and the Qing army massacred more than 200,000 soldiers and civilians in Nanchang.

This Gao Jinku can be regarded as one of the murderers of the indirect massacre of Nanchang, and he is a figure included in the biography of Erchen.

In his later years, Gao Jinku Shang Kexi arranged to go to the Leizhou Peninsula and became Gao Lei's chief soldier. Because of the continuous uprisings of the Li and Miao people on Qiongzhou Island, Gao Jinku was arranged to go to Qiongzhou Island to suppress the local Li and Miao uprisings.

The uprising in Qiongzhou had just been suppressed, and Gao Jinku originally planned to go back to Guangzhou for the New Year, but who knew that the sea route was cut off, and Gao Jinku couldn't go back to Guangzhou if he wanted to.

Gao Jinku yelled: "Send someone to Guangzhou to ask for help immediately!" Let the Pingnan Palace, the Guangdong Admiral send troops to rescue! Otherwise, we'll be islands here! Don't even want to get out! ”

"Report to your lordship!" The subordinate general Yang Ji stepped forward and arched his hand, "Those Taixi Haikou are still cruising the sea, and our messengers can't go out at all." ”

Zhu Zhiguang, the prefect of Qiongzhou, proposed: "Taixi Haikou won't surround all sides to death, right?" Send fast horses to Yazhou, and let the Yazhou Navy Division Battalion send fast boats to go ashore from Guangxi, and then seek reinforcements. ”

"The prefect's method is still good! Ben will let people go to Yazhou! Gao Jinku touched his beard and said.

The messenger of the Qing army hurried up and went to the Yazhou Navy Battalion.

Then a clipper boat sailed out of Yulin Bay and headed for the coastline of Guangxi with a messenger.

But the clippers didn't go far before two centipede clippers caught up.

"The Haikou is here!" The faces of the Qing soldiers on the fast boat changed.

The centipede clipper quickly caught up with the Qing army's clipper, and the bow Franc cannon opened heavy fire, knocking down the sails of the Qing army's clipper, and the Qing army's speedboat slowed down.

The Qing army officer on the clipper ship shouted loudly: "There are not many people on the thief ship!" We can fight with them! ”

The Qing clippers counterattacked with guns in the bow and stern, and shells constantly fell around the two centipede clippers. When the centipede clipper approached, the Qing army shot rows of rockets on the clipper to prevent the centipede clipper from approaching him.

Just as the two sides were fighting fiercely, suddenly a two-hundred-and-sixty-ton privateer appeared.

In the eyes of the soldiers and sailors, a huge battleship appeared. Although it is only a sixth-level ship, such a ship is already a very large giant ship in the East!

"Xiyi people! The giant ship of the Xiyi people! The faces of the officers and men of the Qing Army's naval division changed.

The privateer quickly approached, and a row of gun doors on the side of the ship opened, spitting out balls of fire.

The shells knocked down the mast of the Qing clipper, cutting several holes in the hull. The red-hot cannonball ignited the sails of the Qing army. Immediately after that, another row of shotguns swept over the Qing army's clipper, and suddenly the clipper ship was full of flesh and blood.

"Stop fighting, let's surrender!" The remnants of the Qing Army's sailors on the ship cried and surrendered to the Nanyang Company Navy.

However, this Qing army clipper is actually a decoy. Another Qing army speedboat took advantage of its companions to divert its opponents and secretly sailed out of Yulin Bay. Unfortunately, there is also a sixth-class privateer and two centipede clippers outside Yulin Bay waiting for the Qing army sailors to emerge.

The Qing fast boat, which had just sailed out of Yulin Bay, was beaten to pieces by a burst of artillery fire, and the Qing troops on board were forced to surrender.

Later, three more clippers attempted to break through the blockade and deliver a message to Canton. But not a single ship escaped, and all the ships that came out were captured.

On the afternoon of the 4th day of the 11th lunar month in 1660, on the afternoon of the 5th day of the 12th month of the Gregorian calendar, the clippers departing from Xiamen and Wang Xinyu's fleet met at sea 20 nautical miles east of Wenchang.

"You're finally here!" Wang Xinyu was overjoyed to see Hong Xiguan.

The group walked into the living room of the flagship Drake, and everyone sat down.

Hong Xiguan told Wang Xinyu: "General, according to the intelligence of the Heaven and Earth Society, it is Gao Jinku, a thief, who is stationed in Qiongzhou!" ”

"High storage?" Wang Xinyu, who doesn't know much about history, doesn't know what this is for.

Hong Xiguan said: "This person was originally a general of the thieves, first surrendered to Ming, and then surrendered to the Tartars!" It's just a three-surname house slave! Back then, Li Chengdong and Jin Hengsheng were anyway, it was this thief who blocked them in Ganzhou, which caused Li Chengdong and Jin Hengsheng to be unable to meet, which led to the failure of the good situation of anti-Qing in the south! ”

"Since he is a traitor, then he is trapped in Qiongzhou, I have to take Qiongzhou!" Wang Xinyu said hatefully, "If you catch this thief, you will definitely cut it with a thousand knives!" ”

Originally, Wang Xinyu temporarily changed his mind and wanted to conquer Hainan Island, so that when the people from the mainland went to sea, they could be sent to Hainan Island nearby, and then sent to various places in the South China Sea as needed. Otherwise, once the typhoon season comes, there is no stronghold on the huge South China Sea, and it is very dangerous to sail long distances. With Hainan Island as a base, you can first settle people on Hainan Island, wait until the typhoon season passes, and then arrange the distribution in a unified manner.

In addition to serving as a transfer base, Hainan Island was also an outpost for attacking Guangzhou.

Wang Xinyu knows very well that although King Yanping trusts him very much now, in two years, it will be Zheng Jing who will be in power. At that time, it is inevitable to turn his face with Zheng Jing, and the short-sighted Zheng Jing will definitely not be able to tolerate himself! At that time, it was better to have a stronghold on Hainan Island than to travel a long distance from Nanyang to attack Guangdong.

After the plan to attack Hainan was proposed, Hong Xiguan said: "This is too close to the mainland, and Qiongzhou is not as long as Xiamen, the coastline is too long, and this island is big. If the water division is blocked, how many water divisions will be needed to stop the Tartar smuggling? ”

Wang Xinyu replied: "After we take Qiongzhou, we will build a castle on the island. It just so happened that I had developed a new building material that could build a huge castle in a short period of time! As long as we build castles around the island, once the Tartars smuggle onto the island, our forces on the island will retreat into several large cities to defend. And our sailors immediately attacked and cut off the connection between Qiongzhou and the mainland! We can let the Tartars go to the island, but when they come up, they can't go back! We cut off all their retreats, and the enemy on the island is waiting to be annihilated by us! ”

When talking about how to attack Hainan Island, Wang Xinyu proposed to land and go ashore from the Yazhou area. Taking advantage of the cover of nightfall, the troops were divided into two routes, and the special combat team of the naval division climbed directly onto the fort from the sea; The special combat team of the land division went up from a cliff in the west of Yazhou. Once on the way, destroy the enemy who is on guard, and then give the signal for the army to land.

While attacking Hainan Island, the navy blockaded the sea to prevent the Qing troops on Hainan Island from escaping, and also blocked the reinforcements from Guangzhou to reinforce Hainan Island.

"Our land division special combat team will go ashore from the west of Yazhou, and the Tartars will not be guarded, right?" Hong Xiguan asked.

Wang Xinyu pointed to the map and said, "There is a cliff here, you can climb up from this position." The Tartars never dreamed that someone would sneak up from here. The Tartars did not have enough troops on the island, and it was impossible to watch all the seashores, and some places they could not think of would definitely be defended by no one. As for the special combat team of the sailors, they used a small boat to approach Yulin Bay, then jumped into the water and swam over. When you get to the battery, find a way to climb up to it. ”

On 5 November, the convoy arrived 30 miles south of Yazhou. Since none of the Qing army had a small boat to go to sea, the Qing army on the island did not know that a large fleet had reached the sea off Yazhou.

Gao Jinku didn't know that the five groups of messengers he sent out had all been captured, and he was still waiting for Shang Kexi to send reinforcements.

In fact, even if the messenger sent the letter to Guangzhou safely, Shang Kexi did not dare to send troops to reinforce Hainan Island. Even if you send reinforcements, you will be sunk into the sea halfway to feed the fish.

On the night of the 5th, under the cover of night, the small boat in which the special combat team was ridden, under the control of experienced sailors, quietly rowed towards the shore of Yazhou.

Whether it is the navy or the army, the special combat personnel are all dressed in colorful clothes.

This kind of "beggar's suit" is made according to the camouflage uniforms of later generations, although there is no computer accurately calculated pattern position in later generations, but the opponents of this era do not have all kinds of detection equipment, as long as the drawing is close to nature, hiding in the woods, absolutely no one will be able to find the hidden special combat personnel.

When there was still about a mile from the coastline, the special combat team of the sailors was ready to go into the water.

On the small boat on which the Navy Special Combat Team was riding, Emperor Hu Dedi said to his subordinates: "Brothers, our Navy Division Special Combat Team must behave well this time, and don't let the people of the Lu Division look down on us!" Okay, it's almost time to get into the water, everyone! ”

One by one, the special operators carrying wooden armor jumped into the water. This kind of wooden armor can provide buoyancy, which saves the special operators a lot of effort when swimming in the sea.

On the fourth day of the lunar calendar, there was no moonlight in the sky, and the Qing troops stationed on the shore of Yazhou could not see the situation in the sea clearly. And these special combat members, who eat fish and shrimp every day, have good eyesight at night, and with the help of a faint starlight, they can see the position in front clearly. The journey of one mile is not too far, and it is nothing to people with good water nature.

The special operators used their wooden armor as swimming boards and paddled through the water. When they approached Yulin Bay, the special combat team members of the naval division were divided into two groups, one swimming to the Hutouling Fort and the other swimming to the Luhuitouling Fort.

Emperor Hu Dedi took the special combat team members and swam to the bottom of the cliff below the Hutouling Fort.

At this time, the Qing soldiers on duty on the fort did not notice that any special combat personnel were approaching him. Because in this era, there was no concept of naval special forces at all, and no one could have imagined that someone could organize a group of people with such good water characteristics to touch it directly from the sea.

With his teammates, Hoodi quickly climbed the reef and burrowed into the woods by the sea.

According to the requirements, after they went ashore, they had to lurk in the woods for a day and a night, wait for the army special forces to find out the situation, control the gate of the Qing barracks, and then work together.

After Hu Dedi led his teammates into the woods, he opened a waterproof tarpaulin bag and took out his pocket watch.

Besides, Cai Dezhong and other special combat members of the land division arrived in the area of Longpanling on a small sampan.

The cliffs here reach the sea, and the coastline is a cliff more than ten zhang high, and there are no Qing soldiers who can imagine that some people sneak ashore from here.

Cai Dezhong carried a sharp steel knife and more than a hundred projectiles. His stunts: mouth spitting iron bullets and hand-issued iron bullets, can kill people from a long distance silently like the silent pistols of later generations.

The rest of the special combat team members, most of the team members carried crossbow machines, and some team members used darts. Everyone has a dagger or a melee weapon like a sword.

When the boat reached the bottom of the cliff by the sea, the special combat team of the land division threw out their grappling hooks and threw them onto a stone halfway up the cliff. Then they climbed up. Halfway up the mountain, throw the grappling hook to the top of the mountain.

Soon, all the special combat personnel had already climbed the mountain.

One of these special combat team members was once a local of Hainan and was very familiar with the terrain here. Under the guidance of that team member, Cai Dezhong led the team members and quickly walked through a small forest and appeared outside the Qing army barracks.

Approaching the Qing army camp, Cai Dezhong made a gesture, and all the special combat team members hid in the bushes.

Cai Dezhong looked at the Qing army camp in front of him, and saw that there were green battalion Qing soldiers patrolling at the entrance of the barracks. Bonfires were lit in the camp and the barracks were lit up brilliantly. Originally, the Qing army was not so heavily guarded, because there were pirates operating in the outer waters of Hainan Island, and the Qing army was worried about the attack of pirates, so it strengthened its vigilance.

Several special combat team members opened the oilcloth bag and took out the Guojia bottle inside. Cai Dezhong also opened the oilcloth bag, took out a pair of pocket watches from it, and put it on his body.

"There may be a sentry nearby!" Cai Dezhong told the other team members in sign language.

The special operators immediately dispersed and lurked in the woods.

The sky gradually brightened, and the secret post of the Qing army outside the camp began to change guards. The dark sentry squatted in the dark for a night, yawned and walked back to the barracks, and the Qing soldiers who changed guards in the barracks walked into the dark post position.

The position of the secret post of the Qing army was firmly remembered by the special combat personnel.

At the same time, some scattered special combat personnel were sent out to reconnoiter around using their good camouflage.
