Chapter 167 Capture the level

In the wilderness village, he could meet Wan Jun by chance. Yang Guimin was very excited. Wan Jun said happily, "It's good to return safely. You come from the sea defense. Then Zheng Chenggong is together?"

Yang Guimin hurriedly said, "Here, the head of state wait!"

After saying that, Yang Guimin returned to the knights and quickly led everyone over. The young man in charge, with his cheeks full, his short beards and his big eyes were looking at the troops.

Yang Guimin said, "This is King Yanping!"

Wan Jun is not very clear about these titles, but he has guessed, "Are you the national hero Zheng Chenggong?"

Zheng Chenggong bowed, "The Head of State has praised it, and he is worthy of being a national hero."

Wan Jun was very excited and stepped forward to hold Zheng Chenggong's hand, "You should be fine, expel the Dutch and let the treasure island Taiwan return to China. This is a beautiful thing that has been passed down through the ages."

Zheng Chenggong said repeatedly, "Thank you for your misunderstanding. Chenggong has been fascinated by the style of the head of state for a long time. Today, it is true that seeing each other is better than seeing each other. Meeting is even more famous."

Wei Kuang National Highway, "It's already dark. The gentlemen will no longer find a way to find a place to stay and will sleep in the mud tonight."

Only then did Zheng Chenggong notice that behind Wan Jun was a foreigner dressed in Han people standing, and said strangely, "Red Yi?"

Wei Kuangguo very much dislikes the name Hongyi, "Theoretically, my hair is all brown."

Wan Jun said, "This is Wei Kuangguo. He came from afar from Italy. We will solve the problem of living first."

Zheng Chenggong waved his hand and the soldiers rushed into the small village and started knocking on the door.

Seeing that Annan people were very uncooperating and no one answered when knocking on the door, Zheng Chenggong said angrily, "Smash it open!"

Soon, the people of Annan cried out, and thousands of troops entered the village, "Just use a few houses, don't hurt people!"

The soldiers drove the Annan people aside and left a few houses for everyone to rest. Wan Jun felt a little reluctant and threw a few pieces of silver at the Annan people, which was considered a psychological comfort.

Most of the houses of Annan people were dried with branches and mud, and were built very low, so Wan Jun and others could only barely have a place to live.

Wan Jun didn't care at all, lit the lights and pulled Zheng Chenggong to speak, "It's successful, is it still going well in Taiwan?"

Zheng Chenggong said, "Rezhalan City is very defensive, but the battle was quite smooth. However, the Dutch warships were quite powerful. When we fought at sea, we lost thirty or forty large ships and only sank one of their warships."

After the Western People's voyage, the strong ships and cannons gradually surpassed China. These troops naturally knew that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Chinese people also realized the differences between the two sides during their exchanges with the West and were gradually absorbing foreign technology.

Wan Jun said, "You have fought a naval battle with the Dutch. How powerful their warships are? Can you tell me in detail?"

Zheng Chenggong said slowly, "To be honest, their largest warship is about the same length as our big ship, no more than twenty feet, but the hull is very tall, half higher than our largest ship. The porthole for the cannon is two layers, and it is loaded with a lot of cannons, with more than forty pieces."

After thinking about it, he said, "Their artillery is also powerful, and it can be shot farther than ours. Our ship must be closer to it to be shot."

Wei Kuang National Highway, "To be honest, it is not a wise move for you to start a war against the Dutch. The warship "Hector" that you sank, the Dutch have hundreds of ships in Batavia. If they march towards Taiwan in anger, your fleet will not be able to stop it!"

Zheng Chenggong was surprised, "Hundreds of ships?"

All the troops stopped Wei Kuang

"Don't talk nonsense, as far as I know, the Dutch speculated tulips a few years ago, and the price of tulips collapsed, the Dutch economy suffered a heavy blow, and the current finances cannot afford to support hundreds of large warships."

Wei Kuangguo showed a ghost expression again, his blue eyes almost falling out of his sockets, "O my God, the omniscient Christ tells me, Master, how do you know about so many Europeans?"

Wan Jun smiled, "This is nothing. I also know that Batavia is not peaceful, and it is impossible for the Dutch to send a large army to the East."

Seeing this, Zheng Chenggong laughed and said, "It would be great, I am still worried that the Dutch would counterattack and have been preparing for war."

Wan Jun said, "It is still necessary to prepare, in addition to the Dutch, there are the Spanish, and the British!"

Wei Kuangguo could not explain it, and the only explanation that could be imagined was that the hosts had obtained the omniscient eye of God.

As he was talking, there was a noise outside, and Wan Jun shouted, "What happened outside?"

Soon a soldier came to report that it turned out that the guards caught two Annan people and found turquoise and grease. The soldier said, "The two Annan people plan to come to us to set fire while the night is late!"

Wan Jun said angrily, "The Annan people are indeed vicious. I threw away the silver for them and thought about coming to harm us."

Zheng Chenggong said, "Come on, arrest their wife and children and behead them for public display!"

Wan Jun said to Wei Kuang National Highway, "If these pagans want to burn us to death, it would be better to leave it to you for disposal."

Wei Kuang Kingdom could come from thousands of miles away, but he was not a good and weak person. He grinned coldly when he heard this, "Praise Christ. If I had done what I said just now, these damn Annan people would have been lying in the mud at the bottom of the river. How could such a thing happen? I will send them to see God."

Wan Jun was not in the mood to see, and there were still many major things to say. He pulled Zheng Chenggong back to the house. Wan Jun continued, "We still have many accounts to settle with the Red Barbarians in the future, and we need a powerful fleet."

Zheng Chenggong asked, "What does the head of state mean?"

Wan Jun said, "Do you know the Spanish massacre of the Chinese in Luzon?"

Zheng Chenggong said, "How can I not know that in the 31st year of Wanli, the Red Barbarians killed 23,000 Chinese on the island, the Red Barbarians killed 27,000 Chinese again in the 37th year of Wanli, and the Red Barbarians massacred Chinese in the 12th year of Chongzhen. It is only ten years since the same race and the same kind of people suffered a tragic disaster. How can we sit still? Unfortunately, we have not been able to free up our hands to rescue them yet."

Historically, after Zheng Chenggong recovered Taiwan, he had rectified his troops and prepared to send troops to Luzon to attack Spain, which massacred the Chinese. Unfortunately, before sending troops, Zheng Chenggong was already ill.

Wan Jun said, "My shipyards in the coastal defense are all the latest warships. You have also seen many similarities with the Red Barbarians. It is to prepare for the future maritime war. Western Barbarians have strong cannons and cannons, so we should make plans earlier."

Zheng Chenggong said, "The Head of State is so visionary and insightful, Damu admires it."

Wan Jun said, "If you go to war with the Spaniards in the future, Taiwan's position will be extremely important. You must seize the time to succeed and make great efforts to operate Taiwan in the past few years."

Zheng Chenggong said, "The Han people in Taiwan have limited manpower, and there are many foreigners in the central and northern part of the island with high mountains and dense forests. They are extremely vicious and often take refuge in food."

Wan Jun said, "Among the foreigners, there are familiar people who communicate with others, so they trade food and supplies with them, guide them to live at the foot of the mountain, learn the customs and civilization of the Han people. As for the life spans who cannibalize, they will be eliminated if they dare to come and plunder. It is okay if they are limited in manpower. This time, many Annan prisoners were captured and they could send tens of thousands to Taiwan for hard labor.



Zheng Chenggong said, "Abide by the order of the head of state, so that Taiwan Island will be sufficient to support the war with the Spaniards within three years."

Wan Jun said, "There is another important thing for you to do."

Zheng Chenggong said, "The Head of State just keeps the order."

Wan Jun said, "There is a place in central Annan called Haiyunling. If the fleet can capture it and guard Haiyun Pass, the Ruan army retreating south will be completely in a turtle."

Zheng Chenggong said happily, "I will return to the coastal defense tomorrow and lead my troops to Haiyun Pass immediately."

Just after he finished speaking, Wei Kuangguo walked in with excitement on his face, "Thank you for Christ, you can sleep peacefully tonight."

Wan Jun was very curious about how Wei Kuangguo dealt with the Annan people. He didn't hear a scream, but he still didn't ask more questions and said to the few people, "It's already late at night, go to bed early!"

Early the next morning, when Wan Jun woke up, Zheng Chenggong and others had already finished packing up, "Head of First Nations, let's go back to the coastal defense."

Wan Jun said, "No further delay, I will send it away soon and act according to the plan."

Zheng Chenggong stepped onto the war horse, turned around and rode his horse away with his fists, and the wind blew the cloak, which was like a hero riding his horse.

After saying goodbye to Zheng Chenggong, Wanjun led everyone back to the royal capital.

Zhang Wuyang had already assembled his troops in the city, and waited for Wanjun to return and ordered his departure. When he saw Wanjun coming back on a war horse, Zhang Wuyang came forward, "Are the major agreements made?"

Wan Jun said, "It has been agreed that the fleet will go to Haiyun Pass and quickly lead the army to set off!"

Zhang Wuyang said happily, "I'll go and capture Ruan's family now!"

Wan Jun said, "I'll do nothing in the palace. I'll go with you and Lai Heng will stay in the rear!"

Before leaving, Wan Jun suddenly remembered something and said to Li Laiheng, "Send a battalion to guard the coastal defense. It turns out that battalion has returned to the palace to wait. When I come back, I praise them very much."

Soon the army received the military order, quickly opened the city gate, and headed quickly towards the south.

Annan has a long and narrow territory. It takes half a day to ride a horse in a narrow place, but it is at least a thousand miles away from south to north. From the royal capital Hefei to Haiyunling, it is equivalent to from Beijing to Jiangsu.

When the Ruan army fled south, it not only invaded the people along the way, but also spread the terror of the Chinese army along the way.

As a result, when thousands of troops led their troops south, the Annan people had no desire to resist along the way, and the army went south smoothly, occupying Ningping, Qinghua and Hejing all the way.

The mountains and rivers along the way were lush, and Zhang Wuyang sighed all the way, "How come the grain has become the territory of the Annan people?"

Wei Kuang National Highway, "Because during the Song Dynasty, Chinese emperors fought with the Khitans in the north for many years and had no strength to control the south, the Annan people took the opportunity to become independent."

Wan Jun said, "Before the Song Dynasty, the Annan people rebelled many times, but they were all defeated."

Zhang Wuyang said, "From Chang'an to Yunnan for thousands of miles, from Yunnan to Annan, and now we have to go thousands of miles again. It's no wonder we can't control it."

Wan Jun smiled and said, "It is indeed a long and difficult journey to get off from Lingnan. However, although the territory of Annan is narrow and long, it is only a day's voyage to cross the sea from Hainan Island."

Wei Kuangguo followed and said with a smile, "The Head of State, as long as we have a powerful fleet arranged on Hainan Island, the Annan people's territory is north from Haiyun Ridge, and there is no place outside our attack range."

Zhang Wuyang said happily, "It is not impossible to retake Jiaozhou."
