Lord of Ming Dynasty

"Let the rifleman shoot," he said to the adjutant lying beside him in a couch with one arm dangling.

The adjutant said to the new orderly next to him, a young man who was only fifteen or sixteen years old: "Run forward and tell our boys to start working."

"Yes, sir." The young man saluted irregularly in his immature voice.

"Bobby, his name is Bobby, the seventh son of a Catholic family," the adjutant said to John de Boer.

"What's the use of saying this? Hughes, my old man, it seems that we should report to the Lord today." John DeBoer sighed.

"John, surrender, I don't want to die so early." John de Boer's adjutant Hughes Zwart, with a distorted face of suffering from pain, spoke to John de Boer in a deep and mournful voice. De Boer, the guard commander of this red-embedded city said.

"No, never," John DeBoer yelled, jumping up like crazy.

"Don't think, Hughes, we've lost so many people, so many young men, so many women and old people, I will not forgive the devil who turned this place into ruins with cannons, and left countless families torn apart—" John De Boer waved his arms, and vigorously threw the copper monocular in his hand towards the stone wall of the castle.

Chapter 2 Lieutenant Hughes Zwart

John De Boer was obviously conscientious and a good castle guard, but he obviously didn't understand the situation at this time, the dilapidated fortress, very few troops, and collapsed morale. It is impossible to defend for a long time. In the past, Chixian City was like an iron bucket, which gave the soldiers a sense of security. Even if the enemy besieged the city dozens of times, it was impossible to eat well in front of hundreds of cannons. [Read the full text.]

But now that the city is broken and the soldiers are remnants, that is when he is fierce.

Stubbornness and paranoia are what great men do, but many great men finally paid the price of destroying the country and their lives for their stubbornness and paranoia, leaving only a pity for history.

Hughes Zwart looked at the crazy John DeBoer and sighed, he shouted: "Guards, please go down and rest the commander, he needs to rest."

"Don't you—Hughes, you're rebelling," cried John de Boer at once.

The already demoralized guards certainly knew what the best option was now. They rushed up together, disarmed John De Boer with three blows, and then controlled him.

Hughes Zwart said to a guard: "Order all soldiers to stop resisting and lay down their weapons. You take a few people out and tell the enemy commander that we surrender and try our best to get some good treatment," he waved his hand after finishing speaking. .

Outside the castle, rows of arquebus gunners fired hot bullets onto the city wall, causing sparks to fly on the city wall, bricks and stones flying horizontally, and the Dutch kept falling.

The Dutch riflemen still shot calmly, one by one knocking down the Jinhua rebels who were exposed in their field of vision.

This is the first time in history that matchlock guns and arquebus guns confronted each other on the land of Ming Dynasty, and it was the first time that Westerners and Orientals confronted each other.

Quantity advantage defeated quality, the Dutch kept falling, even the riflemen, they only had 200 people, but they created a record of killing and wounding more than [-] arquebusers of the Jinhua Rebel Army, but they can do this at this moment The result is that Zhang Qiang, the matchlock gunner of the Jinhua Rebel Army, trained according to the quality of the soldiers shot by guns in the TV and movies.

Facing death calmly, they were able to march forward neatly until the best range of their matchlock guns, and then they stopped, and fired steadily amidst the officer's command.

Even if there is a chance to kill the enemy, they can only wait for the officer to order an S shot.

Qi S is much better than one person killing one or two people.

Liu Guoxuan, Zheng Tai, and the others were stunned to see such a spectacular scene of matchlock attacking S.

This is much more bloody than the fighting in the era of cold weapons. The bean-sized bullet hit the body, and the whole person was either blown away, or had limbs and arms broken, or the sky cap was overturned, and the brain burst.

The soldiers approached the enemy and fought in an almost ruthless and bloody way. They were bloody and cruel to the enemy and themselves, which was incomparable to cold weapon combat.

From their point of view, this is simply a contest where the two sides slaughter each other. If your slaughter result is better than mine, you will win.

They trembled all over, squinting at Zhang Qiang who was calmly aside, like a bystander, as if he had nothing to do with them, there was a lot of things in their eyes.

The Dutch launched an attack, and a group of remaining old people, women, and militiamen rushed down the city wall with their knives and guns, shouting something, and rushed towards the arquebus gunners of the Jinhua Rebels.

The matchlock gunners quickly adjusted their formation, and a row of soldiers quickly lined up, squatting in the open space, lined up, and then raised their guns.

At the same time as the commander's command knife was swung down vigorously, after a series of sounds like fried beans, white smoke swirled around his head, but all the Dutchmen who rushed in front were killed, the second row continued to fire, and after the third row, All the Dutchmen who rushed out were killed without approaching the arquebus shooter within 50 meters.

Some Dutchmen are still wearing heavy armor and wielding broadswords, and some Dutchmen are even highly skilled, riding war horses with four-meter-long lances under their armpits.

What's the use?

Even the war horses were beaten into sieves.

"Will we fight like this in future battles?" Liu Guoxuan asked in a trembling voice.

"Yes, it's more bloody than this. The side with the arquebus can kill the enemy at a very small cost, almost in a massacre."

"Even if the arquebus shooter is against S, the side with S Cheng far away can kill the side with S Cheng near." Zhang Qiang said coldly.

"Your Excellency, the artillery is advancing, are you going to fire?" a Jinhua Rebel Artillery Chief Qian asked.

Zhang Qiang asked people to push in 36-pounders, 48-pounders, and 32-pounders. The casualties of his troops were too great. This was the biggest casualty he had faced since the formation of the troop, and the biggest casualty of the enemy's arquebus against S. Therefore, He was going to use artillery to deal with the last enemy, and even the enemy's castle was blasted into ruins.

"Look, what is that?" Zheng Jiajun's Yu Xing pointed to a flag floating on the city wall.

"It's a white flag." Liu Guoxuan said.

"They surrendered?" Zheng Tai said excitedly.

After a while, several Dutchmen walked out of the castle gate with the white flag, and met Zhang Qiang. Zhang Qiang tolerantly allowed them to surrender, and expressed admiration for their heroic combat behavior. They were able to resist until the end. I did my duty.

Zhang Qiang will not look good on those who are vicious and stubborn, but Zhang Qiang still admires soldiers who have done their duty and can voluntarily surrender. After all, life is only once. This is war, not vendetta, so Zhang Qiang will not Kill them all.

Of course, these surrendered soldiers are not treated the same as those captured after being defeated. They are also prisoners of war, but they can go back after light labor. If one of them can hand over the ransom, then they can go back. If the ransom cannot be paid, Zhang Qiang will release them after the war is over.

This is Zhang Qiang's promise to them.

Soon Zhang Qiang sat in the castle, which belonged to the hall of John De Boer's official residence.

"My lord, Chixian City has been captured, shouldn't it be time to go to Zeelandia City?" Zheng Tai asked.

Liu Guoxuan rubbed his nose, gently pulled the corner of Zheng Tai's clothes, and then said to Zhang Qiang: "My lord, this Chixian city should be guarded by you. Take a rest for a day. Your lord, why don't you go and join my general? Take the city of Zeelandia as soon as possible, and drive the Dutch out of our Ming land."

Zhang Qiang said with a smile: "I think so too. Jinhua still has a lot of things waiting for me to deal with, and I can leave it to you, but I have an agreement with Yanping County King that we need to station an army here to ensure our cooperation with you." Regarding trade and the interests of our merchants, has the county king explained to you?"

Liu Guoxuan nodded quickly and said: "We will definitely abide by it, all according to your method, the Governor. The Jinhua Rebel Army is so strong, we still have to rely on the Jinhua Rebel Army. What if the Dutch take it back?"

"Haha." Zhang Qiang knew that Liu Guoxuan was trying to reassure him. After all, Zheng Chenggong regarded this place as his territory, and other people's territories must not be allowed to get involved. Zhang Qiang didn't want to get involved here either. He just wanted to protect his own maritime interests. Those who monitor Zheng Chenggong will not let them damage their own interests.

Zheng Chenggong is still in a period of rising strength. Historically, it took 1661 to win Baodao. Due to his own intervention, Zheng Chenggong took it in 1649, and it will be 1650 soon, which is more than ten years earlier than in history. Zheng Chenggong has so much time, and his development must be stronger and better than in history.

I am now the mainstay of the Qing soldiers in the mainland, and it is the dream of all Chinese people to unify the mainland.

Chapter 2: Negotiations on the Ownership of Chixian City

After winning Chixian City, Zhang Qiang thought about it carefully. If he wants to plan for Treasure Island in the future, Chixian City is an indispensable key position. As long as he occupies this place, he can plot Keelung Port in the northeast and Gulangyu Island in the southwest. Zeelandia City, to the east, you can go through the mountains to plot the east coast. [Read the full text.]

Maybe Zheng Chenggong is a person. Ten years later, his son Zheng Jing was mad at him because he had an affair with his nanny. Zheng Chenggong's great career in Baodao was defeated in less than a few years, giving Shi Lang a chance to recover Baodao for the Qing court. .

It can be said that Zheng Jun is not as tightly united as his own Jinhua Rebel Army. Although everyone has their own selfishness and ideas, they are still loyal to themselves and to this group. Therefore, the Jinhua Rebel Army is strong, and Zheng Jun has been poisoned too deeply by the old royal habits. Once Zheng Chenggong dies, his power will surely collapse.

At that time, through the increasingly brilliant influence of the strategically important Chixian City that he occupies, he can take Treasure Island in an instant and make Treasure Island his second territory.
