Become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen!

Chapter 712 Times have changed
In fact, in today's Ming religious circles, Buddhism, Taoism, Catholicism and even Islam all know that this treaty dividing maritime interests must be signed.

And when the time comes, their religions will also be there.

Not just a simple oath to worship the heaven, each sect must use their own rituals to add luster to this treaty to ensure that it has as many legal principles as possible.

After all, this world is one point.

What is divided is not in the bowl, but in the pot.

From a global perspective, the population and territory that a large religion can encompass cannot be compared to that of a powerful country.

It is normal for the Buddhist and Taoist factions to cooperate with the empire in doing some political operations, but this time the Catholics also participated, and it was witnessed by the Catholics of both countries.

The government even took the initiative to contact them and asked them to attend a ceremony to explain the undecided treaty.

In this way, he criticized Europe's foreign colonial forces from the perspective of religious jurisprudence.

If they did it, it would be a real betrayal of Europe. Let alone the Pope, the European rulers would definitely not agree to this treaty.

But they still have to do it.

Because the Jesuits had sent letters, gathered, communicated and quarreled many times before, but the final result was that if they did, they could be bound to the land beneath their feet.

A big step towards the localization of religion.

They will compete with the European Catholic Church, or they will be able to more conveniently operate in East Asia and serve the European Holy See.

To do this, two representatives are always needed.

One on the south side and one on the north side.

The one in the north has already been decided, that is, Tang Ruowang, who also advocates taking this opportunity to completely take root in East Asia and form a virtual partition with European Catholicism.

But Southside has yet to finalize a candidate.

Profitable ideas have to compete.

Wang Chengen agreed, but asked him to be a translator first and help the army land on the island to fight.

Now that we are almost ready, we will naturally pick a good and auspicious day to get started.

He Bin has been working as an assistant for the Dutch on the island of Taiwan for almost 20 years. It took 20 years to gain the trust of the Dutch and his surprise attack strategy based on his observation of the entire Jelanja Port and the surrounding waters was very effective. rich.

Under heavy pressure, the Dutch exerted great control over the coast around the city of Geranje during this period, and built several earthen castles around the outskirts of the city.

But the officers in the castle naturally did not pay attention to the changes in tides and the differences between the map and the actual situation.

In the north of the city, after the tide rose, the stream that had always only been accessible to small boats was able to allow large boats to pass unimpeded during the high tide.

By the time the Dutch sentry in the north of the city discovered it, it was already too late.

The cannons have been lowered from the ship.

Just ten miles away, Zheng Chenggong's army and the Nanyang Company's escort troops landed under the noses of the Dutch, and quickly took control of the surrounding areas. At the same time, they began to set up camp and exclude messengers from going north to the island, which was controlled by the Zheng family's official party. Stupid port.

Zheng Zhilong didn't want to break up with the Dutch, and even had a quarrel with his son over the Luzon incident.

But if his son really landed successfully and had the chance to drive the Dutch off Taiwan, he would not hesitate to help.At the same time, the Pingyuan spewed out its long-simmering anger outside the great port of Zeelandia.

60 pounder gun.

Zhu Youjian gave him a small gift when he learned that Wang Chengen's aniseed treasure ship was about to be completed.

This kind of big guy basically has no possibility of being used in land warfare. It can only be loaded on the ship, and it can't be loaded too much. They believed in big ships and cannons earlier than other countries.

It's just that they won't use the 24-pound cannon for land warfare.

And the roar of this kind of giant cannon is not unfamiliar to the Dutch.

However, the sixty-pound shells spewed out by a 140-meter-long ship hit their shore-based forts, which still made the Dutch terrified and put a lot of pressure on them.

Both the north and the south were attacked, and everyone else in the city of Relanja was in a panic. It was impossible for the Dutch not to panic.

Governor Cornelis urgently ordered the warships that had been huddled in the port to prepare for war, and then began to organize the army to go to war.

"The landing troops must be driven into the water! Notify other castles to immediately enter a state of combat readiness! Those Chinese workers must be separated from our people! Let all the Dutch quickly evacuate to the castle with their property and families! Where are the mountain people? !? Where is their envoy! Tell them! I agree to their conditions!"

There was chaos inside and outside the city of Relanja.

Or maybe it's just a mess in the castle.

The city of Zeelandia is divided into two parts, one is the fortified castle, the other is the urban area built 100 meters away from the castle without any defense facilities, and the 'slums' on the edge of the urban area where most of the Chinese live.

At this time, the castle was in chaos, and the Chinese in the city seemed to be having fun.

The sea area around the city of Zeelandia was blocked before, but Chinese and Han boats were able to enter and exit freely after being inspected.

They got the news a long time ago, as long as they stay well and don't offend the Dutch or Wang Shi, Wang Shi won't do anything to them.

In addition, the Dutch were aware of the danger and exploited the middle and lower-class Chinese in the city of Jelanja even more. There were even rumors of massacres of Chinese to ensure the safety of the city.

Except for some dog legs that the Dutch have been raising for a long time, ordinary Chinese will naturally not help them, and they are not too panicked.

On that day, Relanzha City sent [-] troops out of the city and went north to fight Zheng Chenggong's troops.

Facing the three thousand soldiers led by Shi Lang and the Zheng family's elite who had been honed in battles with the Shun Army and the Western Army, they suffered heavy losses as soon as they fought.

The Zheng army, equipped with Shunwu blunderbuss, cast-iron red cannons and flying thunder cannons, fought against the Dutch for the first time.

Shi Lang's impression of the Dutchman was still the tough appearance when he followed his father to fight against the Dutch armed merchant ships when he was young, so for the sake of safety, before the Dutchman approached, he ordered the [-]-pound red cannon to bombard them.

Two of the ten shells hit, and they jumped twice in the indigenous servant army organized by the Dutch. A dozen people immediately turned into a splatter of flesh and blood! The army of more than 600 servants is about to collapse!
Then the [-] firearms in the army raised their Shunwu guns and fired a volley. When a rifled firearm meets a non-rifled firearm, the difference in range determines everything.

That is to say, after this thing was installed in the Zheng army, the Western army actually equipped it on a small scale, and shrank behind the trenches to avoid the superior firepower of the Zheng army. Otherwise, Zheng Chenggong's troops in Sichuan should have had better results.

Cornelis held up his binoculars and felt something bad when he saw the other side giving orders and raising his gun.

But when he saw the smoke and faint sound of gunfire coming from the other side, he looked in shock at the soldiers who were spreading and advancing with their guns raised!
In an instant, 20 Dutch soldiers fell!

Morale was in turmoil, and Cornelis was also greatly frightened!
In an instant, death felt extremely close!A biting coldness ran down my spine!
"Whoosh!"

A sudden flash of God!He suddenly felt a lightness on his head!
The hat was knocked off by a bullet that came from nowhere! !
