Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 470 Traitor?

Penghu is actually not big, even if the population of future generations is about one township, 9 to 2 people, now it is only [-] to [-] people, and many of them are seasonal fishermen. The begging army fleet rushed to the island and almost occupied it , even if the landlubbers who have been floating on the sea for a month would rather live in tents than go back to sleep on the boat, the war horses were also released on the island. Let it go.

However, what made Song Qingshu helpless was that last time he was very good at taking care of the wounded. This time, Yu'er, who was dispatched with the army as the logistics medical captain, was still stuck with a few guys. To give medical examinations to sick soldiers, Little William, a bastard, pretended to be helpful, and Zheng Sen, who stayed here as a representative of the Zheng family, was holding his wild sword like a bodyguard. That's right, every male animal that Yu'er treats, or passes by, has to be killed with his eyes.

"Dingguo, that's how you fulfilled Lao Tzu's military orders? How were you able to play hooligans back then?"

Now the Longjiang Shipyard is still building the British Galen ship, and a small half of the logistics for this expedition is provided by the Zheng family in Fujian. Zheng Zhilong is also gathering troops to fight together at the right time. Song Qingshu is hard to say. When he came out to inspect the barracks the next day, he simply took out Li Dingguo, the commander of the Qihuo Seventh Division, who was his nephew anyway, and gave him a scolding.

Hearing this, Li Dingguo almost bang his head against the wall. What happened last time has already made him lose face, besides, he is now the commander of the Seventh Division, and he is not a nanny, so he will not throw the Seventh Division away. Go and follow Yu'er behind your butt, right?
"Uncle! Those two, you don't dare to move, what can I do with my little nephew? I can't tie them up and throw them into the sea!"

"Why are you so stupid? You show the kind of protective feeling that a younger brother has for an older sister. A stinky man who sticks to everything is going to kill them with his eyes. Murder, like this..."

After all, it was the first step of overseas colonization, and Song Qingshu himself showed a little nervousness. He scolded and educated Li Dingguo while holding Li Dingguo in his hands. He swaggered back to the Penghu Inspection Department.

"Teacher, why don't you go down and throw those two bastards who are pestering Missy into the sea?"

Seeing the coach being scolded, Zhu Laoliu, the battalion deputy who came over with the second division on behalf of the second division, posted over with the appearance of being loyal to protect the master. He rolled up his arms and sleeves aggressively, expressing that he would help Li Dingguo with his affairs. Who knew Li Dingguo But that handsome face collapsed, and he slapped him on the forehead.

"Where is it cool and where to stay?!"

"No, this is me!"

Seeing his commander-in-chief return to the camp in a rage, Zhu Laoliu, who flattered the horse's leg, was full of sadness, and shouted depressedly: "What did I say wrong?"

"You know what a fart, there are more than 30 division commanders in the army, why did the commander single out our division commander to reprimand him? Throwing the two of them into the sea is causing trouble for our teacher! Gua Wazi!"

Looking at the secret music from the side, Chen Xiaojing, who was in the middle of the camp, couldn't help but happily raised the point next to him. Zhu Laoliu slapped his head sadly when he heard it, but it didn't take long before his simple and honest big His face suddenly grinned happily again.

"Oh, no wonder the commander-in-chief doesn't smoke anyone on weekdays, but me! It turns out that the commander-in-chief treats me as his confidant, as one of his own!"

Seeing the bastard jogging back to the camp and looking for torture again, Chen Xiaojing shook her head helplessly.

"Hopeless!"

…………

After calming down the army in the morning, Song Qingshu immediately plunged into work. The main job of the Penghu Inspection Department is to guard against the Dutch in the Taiwan Strait. Those who know each other best will always be the enemy. Zheng Duo has a lot of valuable Dutch people here. material.

"The residence of the Dutch is located in Tainan. There are two main settlements, Taiwan City and Chixian Fort. The location they occupy is quite dangerous. The coast here is winding and full of rocks, and it is difficult for large ships to enter it. Moreover, in the southwest, there are Eight mountain islands separate this place, and with this sea and land environment, the Dutch stronghold is easy to defend and difficult to attack."

While narrating, Zheng Duo watched in amazement that the Qihuo army staff members skillfully built a map on the sand table according to what he said, his eyes straightened, Song Qingshu couldn't help but frown while listening to his narration Wrinkled. Historically, it seemed easy for Zheng Chenggong to regain Taiwan, but now it seems that it is really difficult to fight. The enemy has the advantage of terrain. .

"Then how do the Dutch's own warships park? Parked in the open sea?"

"No, Marshal Song, in the southeast of the seven mountain islands, there is a wide channel leading directly to Neijiang, a fairly wide port inside. The Dutch cannon boats over 50 meters long and those Western merchant ships usually enter from here, but This place should be guarded by the fleet of the Hongmao Clan, and facing the coastal defense artillery of Chixian City on the side of the cliff, and directly opposite the city artillery of Taiwan City, it is difficult to attack!"

The sand table is a little more complete, this place is still a crescent-shaped bay, but in the outer research of the crescent moon, a large piece of land composed of seven small islands suddenly appeared, blocking most of the crescent moon exit, and the only way to enter is to go south At the entrance, it is about to be attacked by three-dimensional defensive artillery. With the strength in my hand, it is still a question of whether I can rush in. Even if I rush in, I will lose at least several large ships and thousands of people.

Looking down from the window of the Penghu Inspection Department, you can still see the back of Zheng Sen following Yu'er. Song Qingshu couldn't help but frown. This guy's strength at that time was definitely not as good as his own, but he was How did you get in?

"Aside from this route, is there no route to enter?"

"Back to Marshal Song, there is another channel to the north, but this channel is so narrow that even our Cangshan boat can't get through it. Marshal, your big ship is so difficult!"

"Marshal, it's really not possible. We should land in Taipei, sweep all the way there, and finally beat the Dutch in the back, which is the safest!"

Seeing Song Qingshu worry, Zhang Huangyan, a conservative, tried to persuade him that he did not advocate taking risks. Besides, Zhang Huangyan came from a traditional scholar-bureaucrat background, and he wanted to be a dignified teacher. His words still made Song Qingshu shake his head.

On the one hand, it has been less than five years since the fall of the Ming Dynasty and the change of the Shenjia Kingdom, and there will be more than four years left after another three months. Song Qingshu doesn't want to waste this time. Second, it is more than August now, it is the time of autumn harvest, and it is also the time when the green leaves are not ready. The Dutch have the least amount of food reserves, and most of their personnel go down to collect sugar, buckskin and grain, etc., and their defenses are also the weakest. If they attack at this time, they can receive miraculous effects. They can land from Tainan and enter immediately. In winter, it is not easy to fight anywhere in this season, and the Dutch are also prepared.

In particular, the Dutch in Taiwan are not isolated. They are part of the huge Dutch East India Company. There are at least 20 strongholds, and they continue to occupy Portugal and the Spanish strongholds. The largest headquarters is in Batavia, which is later Jakarta. Song Qingshu doesn't know how powerful the entire East India Company is. Once it is given to the Netherlands People prepare time, if they come to help, whether they can take Taiwan or not will become unknown again.

"Forget it, let me think about it again!" Staring at the map, Song Qingshu waved his hand hesitantly.

…………

Around the terrain, a large group of staff members thought hard and discussed for a long time, and some even suggested that a small boat could carry people through the Luermen route, which is a narrow route in the north, but before they could finish speaking, they were pulled aside by Shi Lang. Yes, there must be a Dutch fleet in the port of Neijiang. In the last exchange of fire, although the Dutch fleet was not as powerful as the Hongyi cannon, the Qianjin Fran cannon was not weak either. .

After such an argument, the whole day passed, no matter how difficult it was, everyone had to eat. Seeing that everyone's eyes were blurred from hunger, Song Qingshu had to order the meeting to be adjourned, and let everyone go to eat and rest.

As for the army, it is quite stable. Yu'er went out in person, and took the nurses for physical examination and condolences. Many recruits were so excited that they forgot their surnames, the tension of those wars, and their homesickness. It has faded quite a bit, although Zheng Sen's black face seemed a bit unfriendly to strangers.

He was worried about something, Song Qingshu didn't sleep well at night, and the Haiquan was still rippling back and forth with the tide, which made him toss and turn, and he didn't feel sleepy until the middle of the night, but he didn't wait for long. On the shore, a large piece of hustle and bustle suddenly came through, and he was so startled that he immediately regained his energy and jumped up.

The Dutch fleet is coming?
However, there was no signal from the warning ship in the distance, and there was no sound of gunfire, but the beach was brightly lit, and Song Qingshu got off the boat in a hurry, and rushed over with the guards.

It's still in the Li Ding Defense Zone. A large group of soldiers with torches has surrounded the coast. Zheng Sen is surrounded in the center. Seeing blood dripping from his knife, Song Qingshu's heart tightens when he sees it. The kid is serious, you want to get rid of Zheng Sen and that little yellow hair, right?
After running over in a hurry, Song Qingshu felt that things were a little different from what he thought. There were still two corpses lying on the ground, Xiao Huangmao was holding a short firecracker, and a soldier dragged one up from the sea, still kneeling on the ground The two islanders were trembling, and Li Dingguo looked at the sea with a telescope with an extremely ugly face.

"What happened?"

Listening to Song Qingshu's anxious questioning, Zheng Sen's voice was extremely annoyed, and he pointed his knife at the two islanders kneeling on the ground and cursed: "Uncle Song! These bastards are going to the sea to report to Hongmao Fan while the tide is high. ! I cut two, and that bastard shot one dead."

"Caught them all?"

"There are two more who ran away with the tide!"

Li Dingguo put down the binoculars, his voice was extremely annoyed, and he suppressed his fists and said to Song Qingshu.

Now things are in trouble!
