Chapter 981 Recovering Taiwan

(Thanks to exlibrisdc for casting valuable monthly and evaluation votes, thank you.)

Song Ke agreed to all the conditions, which Qu Qingze and Xiong Zijian did not expect. Back then, Su Tiancheng thought that Song Ke would definitely agree to these conditions. , even many officers believed that Song Ke would not yield to such harsh conditions, and the army still had to be prepared for battle.

The two, who were somewhat puzzled, entered the cabin.

Seeing the two people coming in, Su Tiancheng smiled and spoke.

"Did Song Ke agree to all the conditions? Unexpectedly, Song Ke was able to make a decision in such a short time."

The two nodded, but Qu Qingze still didn't understand.

"My lord, Song Ke agreed to all the requests so quickly. I really didn't expect it, and I don't understand why Song Ke gave in so quickly after fighting for so long and defeating the Spaniards."

A smile appeared on Su Tiancheng's face.

"There are some things that you will not understand for the time being. The Dutch have a different understanding from ours. As the saying goes, one side supports the other side. The Dutch have traveled thousands of miles. What is the purpose of coming to Taiwan? It is to make money. They The purpose is not to expand the territory. It is under the guidance of this kind of thinking that they become very practical. Seeing that they cannot resist, they will evacuate wisely to avoid greater losses. The Dutch are unwilling. They died for the purpose they achieved, to put it bluntly, they lived for themselves."

Seeing that Qu Qingze and Xiong Zijian didn't quite understand, Su Tiancheng sighed slightly.The reason behind this is very complicated. I remember a battle hundreds of years later. The squadron relied on inferior equipment to defeat the best-equipped army in the world. Afterwards, the world believed that the squadron was strong , It is more manifested in the overwhelming momentum, tenacious style, and the spirit of dedication. This spirit has been called the mysterious oriental spirit. Since then.Chinese team.Considered one of the most powerful armies in the world.

Su Tiancheng is even more aware that for a country and a nation, suffering and backwardness are most clearly reflected in the army.If you fall behind, you will be beaten.There is no dignity in falling behind.Dignity is shown, not talked about.

"Okay, I won't say much about this aspect. The Dutch army is impossible to compare with our soldiers. They are not qualified to compare with our soldiers. One day, the soldiers of my Jiangning battalion must stand on the top of the world. "

Qu Qingze and Xiong Zijian couldn't understand Su Tiancheng's words. All along, they believed that the Ming Dynasty was the most powerful dynasty and the center of the world. Could it be that there was a dynasty more powerful than the Ming Dynasty? .

The warship formation headed towards Taiwan.

When the warship formation entered Tainan Port, it stayed for two days. This was Song Ke's request, and he needed time to arrange it. However, Su Tiancheng was not so polite, and ordered five thousand Jiangning battalion soldiers to directly Going ashore, who knows if Song Ke will transfer a large amount of wealth within two days. By then, the Chixian City controlled by Jiang Ningying will become an empty city, and it will be too uneconomical.

Su Tiancheng didn't go ashore. At this time, he was a little nervous. He wasn't nervous when he wiped out the bandits, and he wasn't nervous when he defeated the Houjin Tartars. He wasn't nervous, but after recovering Taiwan, he was nervous.

No one could understand Su Tiancheng's nervousness. Su Tiancheng, who traveled through time, had a particularly deep feeling. History kept circling in his mind. He changed history by himself, created a new historical era, and regained Taiwan. The most important turning point in history, with the recovery of Taiwan as the starting point, the Jiangning camp will usher in a more glorious era.

Chixian City is boiling, although it is the main fortress of the Dutch, it has been occupied by the Dutch for a long time.

The aborigines in Taiwan, who were brutally oppressed by the Dutch, and the Han people who immigrated from Fujian were all confused. During the reign of Tianqi, the aborigines here knew that Taiwan belonged to the Ming Dynasty, but after so many years, they never I have seen the army of the imperial court, whether it was when Zheng Zhilong occupied this place, or the Dutch and Spaniards, they felt like abandoned people, without belonging.

Now, the imperial army finally came, and the Dutch surrendered. They didn't even dare to take up arms to fight, so they surrendered obediently.

The news spread quickly, and the most excited people were those Fujian people who immigrated to Taiwan. In the blink of an eye, more than ten years later, they even felt cheated. If they were still in Fujian, they would never be bullied by the barbarians. These people, He once resisted and took up arms to fight the Dutch, but they were all brutally suppressed.

Only after experiencing oppression, can we know the taste of returning.

As soon as the news spread, many ordinary people rushed to the port of Tainan with their families. They wanted to see the imperial army with their own eyes. They couldn't believe it. Everything they heard was true.

A large number of ordinary people came to the port and saw the familiar red uniforms, the heavily armed Jiangning battalion soldiers, and the majestic formation of warships. They believed the rumors that the imperial army had really come to Taiwan.

The older people were very excited. When they saw the government officials, they would kneel down. Some older people knelt by the port, chanting words, and some even shed tears.

Su Tiancheng saw all of this.

He must go ashore.

The port had already set up wooden boats, forming many passages. Su Tiancheng walked slowly towards the port along the passages. Sun Chuanting, Xiong Zijian, Song Sijun, Wang Dazhi and others followed him closely.

When going ashore, Su Tiancheng made a movement that no one expected. He knelt down on the ground, lowered his head and kissed the land of the port. While everyone was still in astonishment, Su Tiancheng slowly stood up with an expression of Very serious.

"You all have to remember that Taiwan is my homeland of Ming Dynasty. We cannot tolerate the division of the country at any time. If anyone wants to split our country, we will destroy it mercilessly."

The solemn and enthusiastic entry ceremony began the moment Su Tiancheng stepped onto the port of Tainan.

The [-] Jiangning battalion soldiers lined up neatly, with [-] cavalry at the front and [-] infantry behind.

The soldiers marched towards Chixian City neatly. Along the way, there were ordinary people on both sides of the road. These ordinary people had different expressions, some were excited, some were crying, and some were numb.

Song Ke led the officers of the Dutch army and stood at the gate of Chixian City.

Su Tiancheng came to the gate of the city on horseback, and Sun Chuanting beside him raised his steel knife to signal the army to stop advancing.

Su Tiancheng didn't get off his horse, but looked at Song Ke who was standing in front.

Song Ke pressed his chest with his right hand, bent down and spoke.

"Respected Lord Su, according to your instructions, I lead all the soldiers to surrender to the Ming army."

After Song Ke finished speaking, Su Tiancheng got off his horse and walked slowly in front of Song Ke. Wu Rong and the other four protected Su Tiancheng from four angles.

Seeing Su Tiancheng approaching, Song Ke took off the scimitar on his body, raised the scimitar with both hands, and raised it above his head.

Su Tiancheng took the machete with a serious expression.

"Song Ke, on behalf of the Ming court, I accept your surrender."

After Su Tiancheng finished speaking, Sun Chuanting raised his arms and shouted.

"Da Ming is mighty..."

Ten thousand soldiers roared out.

"Da Ming is mighty..."

The roar spread far away, and the common people several miles away could hear it clearly.

More than 2000 Dutch sergeants, all disarmed, stood neatly in the open space at the gate of the city. They lost their former arrogance and could only surrender honestly. When the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion were under attack, these people all lowered their heads. In their impression, the soldiers of the Ming army were dressed in tatters, their faces were yellow and thin, and they didn't have much fighting power at all. But the soldiers of the Ming army in front of them were completely different. If they were really prepared to resist, the ending would be extremely miserable.

Qu Qingze entered Chixian City with five thousand soldiers and took control of Chixian City.

The entering ceremony lasted for nearly an hour.

The Dutch sergeants who put down their weapons were gathered in a fixed place, waiting for the merchant ships to pick them up and leave. The Dutch sergeants from Chiayi, Kaohsiung and other places all came to Chikan City.

After the entrance ceremony was over, Sun Chuanting quickly dispatched soldiers to Chiayi and Kaohsiung to control these places. Taiwan must not be chaotic, and there must be no power vacuum. This is also what Su Tiancheng requested. , to control the entire Taiwan and restore normal order here, if someone calls fire and robbery, resolutely suppress it without mercy.

Liu Tiehan led two thousand cavalry to the Keelung port in the north to control the north of Taiwan.

Wang Dazhi led some soldiers and began to take over all the facilities in Chixian City, including the establishment of the government.

All of these matters start from scratch.

There are many things to do, but Su Tiancheng, who just came to Taiwan, thought of leaving here.

To control the battles in Luzon and Nanyang and other places, let Wang Dazhi do it. To develop Taiwan's commerce and establish trading ports, Song Sijun can do it. The wealth exploited by the Dutch is all left in Chijian City. Small wealth, the materials seized from Kinmen Island, were also continuously transported into Chixian City, and some grain seeds and other goods transported by warships from Dengzhou were also transported down, but these things were not enough. A large amount of materials have to be transported from Dengzhou.

The time has come to the middle of March. When we return to Dengzhou, it will be at least the middle of April. By that time, the negotiations between the imperial court and the Houjin Tatars will probably be over. The time for the decisive battle is coming. Su Tiancheng needs to go back and prepare , I believe that Huang Taiji has also made sufficient preparations. This is a decisive battle related to the fate of Ming and Hou Jin, and there can be no negligence in the slightest.

(It’s 300 million words, it’s not easy, but I finally persevered, thank you readers for your support, I will work hard.) (To be continued..)
