Become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen!

Chapter 706
It is said to be a full-body plate armor, but in fact it does not break away from the scope of piercing armor. It just uses many large armor pieces stitched together with cowhide and a helmet with phoenix wings, plus a face armor and throat guard to ensure that the wearer's whole body can be completely protected.

It can be regarded as a combination of the ease of maintenance and manufacture of pierced armor and the better protective capabilities of plate armor.

Of course, the disadvantages are also combined.

It is more expensive than bar armor, and its protection is not as good as plate armor.

However, when used in the southern subtropics and Luzon, its performance in all aspects is much better than the pierced armor, paper armor and leather armor used by the Ming Dynasty's southern army.

It is more reasonable than the equipment used by the Black Banner Army in the south. After all, the main activities of the Black Banner Army are in the north, and they lack combat experience in the south.

Wang Chengen saw it and touched it and thought it was good. The model looked quite majestic wearing a knife and a gun.

I am going to send a copy of the blueprint of this armor to Zhu Youjian for his master to have a look at, maybe it will be useful.

Of course, apart from feeling powerful, he had no time to think about the armor's performance on the battlefield.

After all, it is Wang Laoqiantui who needs to care about the big-headed soldiers struggling to fight together.

Zheng Chenggong is different.

While directing the model to pose and simulate the movement of advancing and retreating in a battle formation, his eyes were full of hope.

Still suffered too much from fighting in the mainland.

A few years ago, when he was only 20 years old, he was entrusted with important tasks. The emperor took his hand and said that he regretted that he could not marry him without a daughter. He also gave him a surname and a given name, and led an army to fight against the rebels and the Tartars. , at that time he thought he was going to be the Ming Dynasty version of Huo Qubing.

Who ever wanted to hit the wall for several years in a row.

The record cannot be said to be ugly, it can only be said to be mediocre.

Zheng Chenggong devoted himself to serving the country, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed when he thought of his past performance in battle. Unfortunately, a while ago, the capital had a newspaper that made a summary of the joint efforts of Daming and the Black and Yellow Banner to quell the Sichuan West Bandit Rebellion.

Among them, his achievements in Sichuan in recent years are briefly listed.

At that time, he fled Nanjing overnight after he finished his meritorious service in Nanjing and planned to rest for a while before leading his troops south.

There are many reasons you can use to defend yourself if you didn't do well in the past, such as insufficient wages, money, food and supplies.

But this time he set sail for Luzon, Zheng Chenggong didn't want to find any excuse in his heart.

If you don't do something big, you will be written in the newspaper when you go back, and you don't want this face.

The power of public opinion is terrifying to those who want face.

So Zheng Chenggong couldn't wait to refresh his image in the eyes of the common people and gentry of Ming Dynasty.

"Young man, please pay homage to Mr. Wang."

Wang Chengen built a sample of a pair of armor for Zheng Chenggong, and at the same time sent orders and drawings for [-] sets of Iron Man Heavy Armor to Keelung Port in northern Taiwan.

Zheng Chenggong brought someone to Wang Chengen.

"Sir, this He Bin and He Tingqing is my father's sworn brother, an uncle of mine."

Hearing this, Wang Chengen got up in surprise, took the person's hand and said, "I've been waiting for a long time!"

It is indeed long-awaited.

He Bin, one of the Eighteen Zhizhi, used to be the leader of an armed fleet with some reputation at sea, also known as the pirate leader. However, he lost his capital during the internal struggle of the Eighteen Zhizhi, and then defected to the Dutch on the island of Taiwan.

After Black Flag and Daming Nanyang Company recovered Keelung Port, the Dutch on the island negotiated and communicated with Daming Nanyang Company, and this general manager was basically in charge.

Proficient in Dutch, Latin, Spanish, Japanese.

He also has a good understanding of the many strongholds occupied by the Netherlands on the island of Taiwan.

He has always been the target of the Ming Nanyang Company.

With him there, the Dutch stronghold on Taiwan Island will be cleared with certainty.

That's right, Zheng Chenggong intends to warm up before going to Luzon. At the same time, he is also a traditional Han. He still has to abide by his filial piety. The benefits given by Luzon cannot be given to his father, so the Dutch on Taiwan Island After the land was laid down, the father and son and Wang Chengen shared a share.

If the newspapers follow up, his image will also improve.

He Bin did not hide it, and directly took out a map depicting the land occupied by the Dutch on the entire island of Taiwan, the stronghold castles owned by them, the distribution of troops, the firepower configuration of various castles, and the location of forts.

Then he pointed his finger at one of the most important points.

"The city of Zeelandia, if you don't take this city, the Dutch on the island will definitely not surrender. If you take it, the Dutch on the island will definitely retreat. If you don't need us to drive them away, they will beg us to let them go." leave.

The land attack will inevitably attract the Dutch soldiers on the island to defend with all their strength. The Dutch soldiers are used to building earthen fortresses and are extremely good at defending. The two adults rushed to Luzon again, and the villain felt that something was wrong.

However, although the waterway is a big port with a wide harbor and deep water, even the big treasure ship under the seat of the king can pass unimpeded, but the shore and Zeelandia city artillery fire stared at the port."

As he said that, He Bin took a look at Wang Chengen's face and said cautiously: "It's Mr. Wang's big treasure ship, too."

Wang Chengen didn't even need to look at him to know what he was thinking: "I know you have a way, and I won't lose you, just tell me what you want."

The words were straightforward, but He Bin had a wry smile on his face and knelt down and said: "It's useless to say the villain's method, which is to attack the harbor from the Lu'er Gate at the north entrance, Coco."

Breaking into the harbor is useless.

Because Zeelandia City is a bastion with a fairly qualified defense, and it is not at the same level as Keelung Port.

Even if the port is attacked, in front of this bastion, even the cannon in red will be smashed into the sand, making it difficult to shake.

Based on He Bin's understanding of the Dutch bastion, it is almost impossible to storm and seize the castle in a short time.

Not to mention Zheng Chenggong's more than 1 troops, even if 10 people attacked, they would still have to knock their teeth in front of this bastion.

The only way is to surround.

And whether it can be surrounded is still a question.

He Bin took the blueprint of Relanzhe City. Wang Chengen looked at it and was confused. He didn't realize how difficult the city was to attack.

Zheng Chenggong looked solemn.

Unlike fighting in the mainland, the Dutch who are now going to attack the island of Taiwan can be regarded as entering a field he is quite familiar with.

Just because He Bin and Wang Chengen can't help it doesn't mean he can't.

"As long as we can break into the port, block the entry and exit of ships in the port, and block the reinforcements of the Dutch. There is also a castle on the mountain south of the city of Geranje? Do you have the blueprints?"

"Yes, there is no detailed picture for the small one, but you can draw one by hand. After all, it is just a small castle."

As soon as Zheng Chenggong knocked on the table, a self-confidence that had not been revealed in recent years appeared on his face: "The artillery in the city of Zeelandia is far less than that of our army, and it is not as big as our army. Blow up the artillery at the top of the fortress, suppress the artillery at the bottom, and destroy the artillery. At the corner of the castle, they will definitely not be able to get back.

If we capture the small castle on this mountain, our cannons will be able to commandeer and directly attack the city from the top of the mountain. If this is the case, the Dutch will surely lose! "

But he couldn't help but frown: "But it's still a score, and at least two hundred cannons are needed."

Will affect his trip to Luzon to hammer the Spaniards.

Wang Chengen clapped his hands and said with a smile: "I'm talking about a fortified city. Mingyan has a clever plan, so why worry about it? Have you forgotten me? Or is this the task of expelling the Dutch barbarians that I can't allow me to interfere with!?"

　The surname of the country, fighting on the mainland and fighting outsiders at sea is like a different person
　　They are all going all out, but this strategy is not at the same level at all
　　On the shore, you can make a desperate but extremely outrageous operation of letting the army lead their families to march and fight.

　　After going to sea and changing hands, the main force suffered heavy losses on the shore. They also had to build Mingdu on the island of Taiwan, open up wasteland, and struggle to survive a severe famine by getting food everywhere. Only 3000 to [-] men captured Relan. Zhecheng
　　Although the siege lasted for a year, Zheng Jun was even more food-deprived than the Dutch in this year. After the siege, Zheng Jun still gained a firm foothold on Taiwan Island.

　　The military and management capabilities of the next water have soared, which can be said to be in great contrast
