Become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen!

Chapter 715 Everyone works together

All the time, the world is the same.

Zheng Zhilong started from humble beginnings, and no matter how great his achievements were, he would inevitably be limited to the pirate warlord pattern.

In addition, he was over fifty years old and had to be granted the title of king with a different surname in the Ming Dynasty. After failing to control Emperor Longwu as a puppet with military power a few years ago, he no longer had any ambitions.

Shopping with the Dutch?
Not worth the price.

Did the Dutch on Taiwan oppress the Han people?

It's just a comparison, lest the Han people in the territory controlled by the official party also accuse them of excessive taxation and extortion.

But once Zheng Chenggong appeared on behalf of the Ming Dynasty officialdom, the official party and the Dutch were naturally not good hosts.

In the first two days after the army landed, the Han people and mountain people in the north and south of the island got the news and lined up one after another. Under Zheng Zhilong's early instructions, the official party began to supply some food and materials to the army and cooperated with the army to recruit manpower for logistics.

Bengang was originally a commercial port. The merchants sensed business opportunities and directly took the business to the army the next day. As soon as tents were set up and Goulan brothels were erected.

Shi Lang gathered his headquarters and stabilized the morale of the army, so it was naturally impossible for his soldiers to go whoring.

However, the rebels who came to help the king's division were not restricted.

The mountain people who came down the mountain to meet General Zhu Chenggong were also happy to play in the hook fence.

The surroundings of the camp were in chaos, and during the confusion, the good King Master looked like a rabble.

When Zheng Chenggong landed, he was shocked when he saw the scene on the shore.

When Shi Lang greeted him, he told the old leader of Daodao Township, the leader of the mountain people, and the Dutch envoy were also eagerly waiting for him to receive him.

Unexpectedly, after Zheng Chenggong came ashore, he waved his hand: "The local Han people and mountain people are all gone. Let them go back for the time being. The rebels will be arranged on the flanks as far away from my camp as possible!"

Then drive all the idle people to go with the rebels. The leaders of the rebels will recommend the biggest one to your account. Then give this letter to the Dutch envoy and let him take it back.

Are the cannons in place?Then bombard Relanze immediately!To contain the enemy's main force, Chen Ze, the commander of Xinwu Camp, is waiting for the opportunity to move!The fort must be captured within three days! "

The IQ and strategy have reached the high ground, and the artillery must also reach the high ground.

Outside the camp, the leaders who learned that Zheng Chenggong had not seen them were a little unhappy at first, but then they heard the rumbling of cannons, and those opinions in their hearts disappeared immediately.

One by one, they simply piled the gifts they wanted to give to Zheng Chenggong outside the camp, and then waited patiently.

The rebels cheered after hearing the sound of cannons. When they heard that they were going to nominate a leader, they simply let He Bin, who went to deliver the news, make the decision.

Soon, they were waiting for Zheng Chenggong's first order.

"Go to the island to collect all the Dutch institutions' belongings, send a message to the Dutch who have hunkered down castles on the island, and order them to dedicate the city."

The Dutch lost the port of Keelung, and now the city of Geranje is also under siege, but there are still several Dutch castles on the island that need to be demolished.

Fortunately, the Dutch only had a total of [-] Dutch soldiers on the island of Taiwan. There were not many defenders in the other castles, so the rebels could handle it.

The next battle process is relatively boring.

The Dutch did not dare to go out of the city to fight an army whose numbers and combat effectiveness exceeded theirs. They just huddled in the city and ate artillery shells.

Artillery bombardment continued all afternoon.

The fortress on the mountain south of the city of Geranje was also directly captured by the bombing of unscrupulous artillery. Cornelis, the Dutch governor in the city, could not help but tremble a little when he read the letter Zheng Chenggong sent him.

As for whether it is unseemly to tremble?
The shells hit the outer wall of his room and made a hole in the boss's room. He was so frightened that he peed. Now it's normal for him to tremble twice after the stamina was gone.

The content of the letter is also very simple and boring.

A plain threatening letter.

Zheng Chenggong briefly explained how many troops he had, how many cannons he had, and how many serious warships he had on the sea. He also promised to capture the executives from other Dutch castles on the island within a week and put them in the city of Geranje. Let him see it outside.The meaning is also very simple.

I advise you to order it quickly.

Cornelis gritted his teeth after reading the letter.

Still have to keep it.

If you don't defend, you will be doomed, and all the officers in the city will be involved.

Fortunately, the defensive capabilities of the bastion are still very high, but an afternoon of bombing cannot shake its foundation.

According to the official history, Zheng Chenggong besieged the city for nearly a year and bombed it. The then governor of the Netherlands, Kui Yi, the brother of the King of the Netherlands, had dozens of shells in his room, but the city still stood tall.

Later, it was occupied and restored by the Zheng army and renamed Anping City. After that, three generations of the Ming and Zheng regimes lived here, so it was also called the "Imperial City".

But I don’t care about the outside of the city.

Zheng Chenggong is very good at keeping his word, and he will do it every week.

Within a week, Zheng Jun, with the help of more than [-] local rebels and mountain people, advanced by sea and land and penetrated the entire island.

All Dutch castles except for the city of Geranje were captured, and all the governing institutions appointed or established by the Dutch in village communities were destroyed.

Zheng Chenggong personally led his army on the island, and while fighting, he met with the leaders of the Han mountain people from various places.

When passing by a mountain tribe, the old priest of the tribe knelt down to greet him and offered four bamboo baskets of gifts, one basket of gold sand, one basket of broken silver, one basket of grass and trees, and one basket of soil as a sign of surrender.

Zheng Chenggong accepted the vegetation and soil and returned the gold and silver, saying that this war was only to expel the Dutch Mao Yi and regain the dynasty's homeland, and had nothing to do with gold and silver.

The old priest and his tribe were greatly moved.

Then Guo Baoyu, who was sent by the Dutch to seek cooperation with the mountain people, was tied up and presented with five flowers.

Subsequently, good news came from the northernmost part of the island. The Dutch's largest castle in the northern part of the island, Chizhan City, had been captured.

The commander of Chican City, "Banan Shiding", led his troops to abandon the women, children and their families in the city, and led more than a hundred remnant soldiers in an attempt to flee south to Relanja City for refuge. They were caught on the way and were being sent south together with their families.

(The record is indeed this name, but I don’t believe in Yada’s translation.)
"Damn barbarians! Damn Akito! They are really no different from those Tartars! They are just a bunch of uncivilized animals!"

The week is up.

Zheng Chenggong arrested almost all Dutch officials outside the city of Jelandja.

Several large flags were erected outside the city and they were all hung on the flagpoles.

In addition, these officials and the families, wives and daughters of the Dutch soldiers in the city of Relanje were kindly released by Zheng Jun.

It's just the release of being completely naked.

Most of the women were covered with scars from being ravaged, and they staggered towards the city of Relanja in despair. Some of them jumped into the river on the way.

Cornelis and a group of Dutch people in the city looked at it with eyes wide open, roaring and cursing constantly.

Their families in the city were even more panicked.

It's not that Zheng Chenggong returned to the sea and regained his pirate character, but Zheng's army landed on the island with only 5000 people to fight. If he wanted to besiege Relanze and attack other fortresses, he could only rely on the local rebels.

When the city was broken, the main force that entered the city was the rebel army.

These women are the lucky ones to live long enough to be released.

After Zheng Chenggong saw their miserable state, he gritted his teeth and took advantage of the situation to show his kindness and take them from the rebels to put pressure on the city of Relanja and attack their hearts.
