After some bargaining, the two sides finally reached an agreement on this price, and the Great Qing Kingdom provided Zheng Zhilong with 8,000 war horses, and provided the corresponding horse harness, this silver 500,000 taels; Zheng Zhilong provided fifty artillery pieces, 10,000 shells, 2,000 arquebuses, and 200 boxes of projectiles to the Great Qing State, with a total value of 150,000 taels of silver, in addition to Zheng Zhilong paid 350,000 taels of silver to the Great Qing State, within a month, Zheng Zhilong must raise the flag to rebel, launch an attack on Zhejiang, and at the same time send sailors to block the coastal trade routes, the Qing court promised that as long as Zheng Zhilong rebelled, Zheng Zhilong would be presented as the king of Zhennan, hereditary replacement, and the governor of Fujian and Guangdong; At the same time, Zheng Zhibao was named Pingnan Hou, the Admiral of the Navy, and the two provinces of Tiannan in Zhengjiayong Town.

However, the ideas of the two sides were good, but they underestimated the ability of the intelligence department of the Ming Imperial Court, neither Zheng Zhilong nor Sony expected that at this time, the imperial sailors had arrived in the northern waters of Taiwan Island, less than thirty miles away from Keelung Port.

"My lord, now we are less than twenty miles away from Keelung Port, and if we go further, the sentries in Keelung Port will be able to discover the traces of our fleet......"

Deng Haichao, the general of the water division, said to Zheng Haotian.

Zheng Haotian frowned, now is the time for the West to go west, and it is not the time to launch a large-scale attack on Keelung Port, once the Zheng family's army discovers the traces, things will not be easy to handle.

"Order, the fleet temporarily stopped advancing, and after an hour, thinking about the approach of Keelung Harbor, release our small boat, carry fifty elites to land at night, and once the sailor is discovered by Zheng Jun, immediately launch a surprise attack to cover us towards the shore!"

Zheng Haotian said in a deep voice.

Fifty elite sailors, one by one jumped into the boat, began to approach the sea, now it is the middle of winter, the north wind blows a lot, these boats float on the sea, the wind and waves surge, the boats are difficult to control, if it is not for these sailors have been trained for a long time, they are used to seeing the wind and waves on the Yangtze River, and they will definitely not be able to control these boats.

Twenty miles away, by the north wind, the boat all the way to the coast, just less than an hour, has arrived at the sea, the guerrilla general Song Chengwu personally led the team, fifty elites, abandoned five small boats, each of them is pinned to the waist knife, armed with a flintlock musket, by the night touched the beach, the huge beach, it is impossible to hide a dozens of meters long warship, but it is still easy to hide dozens of people, even if Zheng Jun has a lighthouse here, monitoring the movement on the sea in the distance, it is absolutely impossible to find these people.

Keelung Port, Keelung in this era and the seaport of later generations are naturally not comparable, and now it is just a small town with a population of 20,000 or 30,000, not even a county seat, Zheng Zhilong in order to gain a firm foothold on Taiwan Island, opened up a castle in Keelung, garrisoned five or six hundred people, guarding Keelung, a few days ago, it was ushered in the young owner Tagawa Qizaemon.

Tagawa Nanazaemon brought all the arms to Keelung, this is a fatal thing, it is a matter of life and death of the Zheng family, not only Tagawa Nanazaemon, even Zheng Zhilong did not dare to have the slightest carelessness, the fleet led by Tagawa Nanazaemon all stayed in Keelung, and even the Fujian Navy Division sent two more warships to follow, plus Keelung's garrison, Tagawa Nanazaemon has nearly 2,000 troops in Keelung Port.

Even so, Tagawa Nanazaemon still did not dare to be careless, and led the fleet every day to patrol the northern waters of Taiwan Island, and at the same time temporarily organized all the soldiers into four battalions, and at any time, there was always a battalion of troops to maintain combat readiness and be ready for battle at any time.

It's just a coincidence, it's getting late, Tagawa Nanazaemon, who finished his inspection of the sea area today, came back a little early, and just missed Zheng Haotian's imperial sailors.

As for the fifty elites led by Song Chengwu, it is even more impossible to find out.

"Boss, look, over there, Zheng Bandit has a temporary fort, which has not been reinforced, this is just a town, presumably Zheng Bandit's troops are not very many, I propose, we attack the fort first, even if we can't take the fort, we will make a mess of the fort, so that when the military gate is close to the coast, even if it is discovered by the Zheng army, the fort is not strong, it will not be able to prevent our brothers from landing!"

Lu Xiao, the general manager on the side, said in a low voice.

Song Chengwu's eyes narrowed, and he replied: "What you said makes sense, but it's a little too early to do it now, wait, wait for half an hour, now the Lord Junmen has just led the fleet to rush over here, twenty miles away, enough for them to travel for half an hour, order to go down, pay attention to concealment, approach the temporary battery, first send two people over to feel the situation, wait for the order, once the time is ripe, we will attack the battery, and defeat the defenders of the battery in one fell swoop!" ”

An hour of time, now the sky has been completely dark, it is the beginning of November, there is not even a moon in the sky, only the starry sky, pitch black, although the soldiers on the lighthouse can see far away, but there is one, the so-called light is black here, can be seen clearly in the distance, but for the situation near the lighthouse, the soldiers on the lighthouse, but can not see clearly, especially on the beach, the sentinel's attention is all focused on the sea, where will pay attention to the beach?

Time passed little by little, a moment later, the scout who went to the detective ran back, on the entire battery, there were twenty cannons, all of them were red-coated artillery, and there were more than 200 artillery on duty here, once they encountered the enemy's situation, they would attack the enemy, and the twenty red-coated cannons were not small, enough to pose a huge threat to the warships of the Imperial Naval Division.

In addition to these artillery, you must know that in the southeast direction, there is still a row of warships parked there, there are seven or eight of them in Daqingtou alone, these are all capital warships, there are dozens of guns on it, plus this temporary battery, if it is placed in the daytime, it is enough to resist the landing of the imperial naval division, this time, the fort must be destroyed first, and then concentrate on the naval division warships on the coast!

"Bangbang!"

Just when Song Chengwu was about to make a move, suddenly, there was a rapid sound of gongs from the lighthouse, which was obviously an alarm that had discovered the situation!

Immediately, lanterns were lit on the shore, and even the screams of soldiers could be heard from the warships not far away.

"Do it! Kill! ”

Don't miss the opportunity, lose it again! Song Chengwu shouted suddenly!
