0637 Waving bunting
In the remaining time, after Liu Pei took over the heavy responsibility of command, he stood at the bow of the boat and looked southeast, hoping that news would come as soon as possible and relax.
The fleet sailed for a long time, but in fact it didn't go very far. Because the sailing warships are not fast at present, and each ship is dragging a captured Dutch warship behind it, it seriously affects its speed.
Liu Pei looked at the waves stirred up by the bow of the ship on the deck, and his heart became more and more anxious. He kept praying that nothing would happen. The fishy sea breeze relieved a lot of anxiety in his heart. Just as Liu Pei was considering the battle situation ahead, he suddenly heard the lookout hand shouting loudly: "The fleet found a ship right in front of him, as if it was our own whistleboat!"
Liu Pei was excited when he heard this! Is it good news or bad news? There will be a result immediately. Liu Pei hurriedly raised his telescope and looked into the distance. In the telescope, the ship seemed to be a sentry ship that set out in advance.
Liu Pei suppressed his thumping heartbeat and carefully adjusted the focal length of the telescope. He was so careful because he saw many erratic small color blocks on the wardrobe! If Liu Pei was right, it should be a string of colorful flags!
It would be great if there were really a string of colorful flags hanging on the wardrobe! Because those small colorful flags would only be hung during the celebration! This means that there was a great victory over the Corro Bay!
As the ships approached each other, Liu Pei finally saw clearly! The whistle was indeed hung with colorful flags representing Daqing! A bunch of small colorful flags fluttered in the sea breeze, making people more and more happy! Not only did Liu Pei see clearly, but even the lookout hand saw clearly! He made a loud voice to the whole ship, which caused a lot of joy on the ship. Even Liu Pei swung his fists twice in the air!
Since the victory has been confirmed, Liu Pei is not in a hurry. What he cares most about now is what the result of the battle is? Did Liu Xiang give him the title?
The whistle ship quickly sailed to the next side of the flagship and sent a small boat to send a messenger to board the flagship to report to Liu Pei. The messenger who reported the news was so excited that his face turned red! He saluted Liu Pei first and then said loudly: "Report to the Grand Commander, the First Fleet will win! Most of the enemy will be wiped out, and Liu Xiang will be given the head!"
Hearing
After the news, Liu Pei was completely calmed down and shouted loudly: "Okay! Well done!"
Next, Liu Pei briefly asked about the battle situation, but the messenger didn't know much. After they met with Wu Yizhou's fleet, they knew that Liu Pei was anxious and came back early to send the message. The specific news would not be known until Wu Yizhou and the others arrived.
Liu Pei thought for a while and said, "Tell you that the captain will go for another trip and notify the First Fleet to rush to Penghu directly, where we will take a short rest. There will be big moves soon. Because I want to prepare to attack Tainan immediately!"
The messenger was almost excited to hear this huge news. However, he still suppressed his emotions, saluted Liu Pei and left.
The watchtower left, Liu Pei ordered the fleet to turn again. After the fleet turned this time, although the speed was still so slow. Even the headwind became a little slower. However, the atmosphere in the fleet was completely different! Everyone was happy! Even the tortured Dutchman screamed louder a few times, which sounded very pleasant!
Liu Pei, who was completely relieved, began to read the information that was questioned. The more Liu Pei looked at it, the better he felt that this was a good opportunity. Now the city of Gelanzha is definitely at its lowest level. There are no warships, only a few small boats that cannot be fought in the sea. Moreover, the number of troops in Gelanzha was transferred to the fleet, and the number of people was relatively low.
What's even more amazing is that the Dutch is building Prominzza City is coming to an end. As long as you take down the city of Relanzha in one fell swoop, the Prominzza City, which currently has no military power, will be given away! And it is also a complete building base. How can you miss this good thing of buying one free?
In 1624, the Dutch officially occupied Taiwan. The Dutch occupied southern Taiwan and built a solid castle, Jelandzha, in Dayuan (now Anping District, Tainan City, at that time, a small island), and became the center of the Dutch rule in Taiwan.
The Dutch bought a piece of land from the Taiwanese indigenous people at the cost of fifteen cotton in the second year after the founder of the castle, and later built a Prominic City here.
The Dutch rule over Taiwan is the main
We have two-handed policies, one is soft and the other is hard. We give gifts to the indigenous people and give Western things they have never seen before to gain favor. And we use forceful suppression against the indigenous people who are really unwilling to cooperate. From 1635 to 1645, the Dutch attacked Xiaoliuqiu Island (now Liuqiu Township, Pingtung County), almost killing all the indigenous people there.
Thinking of this, Liu Pei immediately called the staff and the officers to the task assigned. At this time, the officers were in high spirits of fighting. When they heard that they were going to attack Tainan, they were all ready to rush over immediately. Liu Pei had to tell them that there were a large number of wounded people on the ship that needed cultivation, so they gave up the idea of turning to Taiwan directly.
Liu Pei's fleet was very close to Penghu, so although it was against the wind, it still arrived in Penghu quickly. When the dilapidated fleet appeared outside the Penghu port, the whole Penghu was boiling!
Because almost every warship was dragging a captured warship behind it, it was clearly a big victory! Of course, there were fewer warships when they came back, which also caused everyone's discussion. Everyone felt that there must be a fierce naval battle!
When they knew that Liu Pei's fleet did not lose warships, but was sent to reinforce the First Fleet, the entire Penghu exploded!
After Zheng Zhilong was killed by the Red Eye Dragon King, Liu Xiang fell into the hands of the Red Eye Dragon King, and at the same time wiped out more than half of the Liu Xiang fleet and all the Dutch fleets! This is super good news for the sea merchants!
This means that the status of the Red Eye Dragon King's overlord's position on the sea is unshakable! No pirates dare to disobey the orders he issued in the future. It seems that the 3,000 taels of silver are worth it. So the maritime merchants on Penghu Island gathered spontaneously and wanted to get close to Liu Pei first.
