Chapter 63 Attacking Taiwan

Bored, Yin Yin climbed to the roof of the guest room in Yanping Palace to bask in the sun. Since the Chinese New Year, he has been wandering around Taiwan Island.In fact, it’s not really a stroll. He got a map of Taiwan Island from Zheng Keshuang. While wandering around, he also marked some places on the map. Today, he has basically traveled all over the island. It's a rest period.

Just as he was lazily about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard the faint sound of distant shelling.

"What's that sound?" He sat up, looked towards the direction of the sea, and asked aloud.

"Master Shi Lang started to attack the Penghu Islands." Long Ya's voice came from the canopy next to the roof, and the voice was just right - just enough for Yin Yin to hear, but she herself would not understand it at all. was discovered.

Yinfei froze for a moment, then remembered the information given by Zhanlu.

A few days ago, that is, on June 300th, Shi Lang led more than 2 large warships, more than 230 sailors, and more than [-] small and medium-sized warships set sail from Tongshan on the coast of Fujian, and launched a campaign to recover Taiwan.

On the evening of the [-]th, Huayu was captured;

On the [-]th, arrived at Xiyutou;

On the [-]th, Hujing Island was occupied.

It is expected that the attack on Penghu will begin on the 22nd.

Thinking of this, Yinyi asked again: "Huh? Why is it you, Longya? Where's Zhanlu?"

"Watch the battle from the front line." Long Ya said concisely.

Yinyi rubbed his chin. It turned out that he had already started to attack Penghu?I was so busy the past few days that I almost forgot that Shi Lang was watching Taiwan covetously in Fujian.The Penghu Islands are Taiwan's natural barrier, and if this gate is opened, Taiwan will be at your fingertips!

Yinfei thought excitedly, in such an important battle, if you don't look at it, is it a little sorry for the condition that you are so close to the battlefield?

"Ah, big brother, where are you taking me?" Zheng Keshun was dragged by Yin Yin's collar and walked outside the mansion, yelling continuously.

"It's a fun place." Yinbi smiled and said, he can't talk about going to the battlefield at this time, otherwise this coward will definitely slip away.

"Brother, can you put down my collar?" It's really not easy to walk with your legs half bent in order to match your height!Zheng Keshuang lasagna tears.

Yinyu looked at the small but still existing height difference between himself and Zheng Keshuang, and silently let go, this bastard... This is what Eniang said, a typical example of being tall but not IQ?

The two left Yanping Palace, mounted their horses, and headed straight towards the pier.

Yin Yin and Zheng Keshuang escaped the soldiers patrolling nearby, and sneaked into a boat, where Zhanlu had been waiting for a long time with a smile on his face.

A small fishing boat, avoiding the sight of the patrolling sailors, slid lightly into a small isolated island between the Penghu Islands and Taiwan Island.

When Yinfei arrived, the battle had already started for a while, the sea was densely packed with warships, flags of various colors fluttered in the wind, and shouts rang out.

At this time, the Qingshui army led by Shi Langzheng took advantage of the favorable southwest wind direction, and many warships besieged one of Zheng's troops, concentrating their forces to fight—the so-called "five-point plum blossom formation" tactic, although shameless, was also extremely effective.

Yin Yin and Zheng Keshuang each had a telescope, watching the battle not far away.Seeing the Qing army resorting to such shameless tactics, Zheng Keshun curled his lips in disdain, "With this method of encirclement and suppression, the Qing army is too shameless, right?"

Yinyu squinted at Zheng Keshuang, and slapped him on the head: "Is there anything shameless or not? It doesn't matter what is upright in marching and fighting. No matter what tactics he has, he can get the most with the least sacrifice." Victory is the final winner. Do you think Zheng’s army is so upright? At the beginning, Zheng Gong was able to defeat the Dutch to obtain Taiwan. It was not because of more victories and fewer? What’s more, don’t forget that Shi Lang was also a member of Zheng’s army before. , who might have learned these methods from him!"

"Brother, you understand these things very well!" Zheng Keshun immediately leaned forward dog-leggedly, with star-eyed eyes.

"That's why you're such an idiot!" Yin Yin angrily pushed Zheng Keshun away, and continued to watch the battle, but he didn't see Zheng Keshun's lonely expression after being pushed away.

——A child who knows so much about military warfare, really, is he just the young master of a rich businessman?

On Penghu Island, there are more than a dozen forts built by Liu Guoxuan. Short walls were built along the coast, and heavy troops were assigned to guard them, so it was not easy to break through.

Yinyi felt a little worried in his heart.

At this moment, a burly man stepped out from the deck of a warship of the Qing army. Looking at his armor, he seemed to be a forward of the Qing army.The forward came out of the cabin and said something loudly, which seemed to be some kind of morale-boosting slogan, because the morale of the sailors could be seen even from a distance.Immediately afterwards, as if he thought the weather was hot, the striker took off his armor jacket casually, threw it aside, went into battle shirtless, and led several warships to attack.

Zheng Jun also sent his generals to lead the boats to fight.

"Who is that?" Yin Yin touched Zheng Keshuang.

Zheng Keshuang put the binoculars over and glanced at it, said casually, "It seems to be Zeng Sui", then turned back and continued to look at his own.

The Qing army fought with the team led by Zeng Sui for nearly two hours, and the sea was filled with smoke.

Just as the forward of the Qing army was getting more and more courageous in the battle, a shell suddenly flew in, and the shrapnel hit him in the abdomen.

"Ah!" Yinfei was startled and shouted out.

"Sir?"

"Big brother?"

Zhan Lu and Zheng Kesong were worried.

"fine."

Yin Yin waved his hand and continued to watch the battle.After the Qing army's forward fell, General Zheng Jun didn't know what he was yelling, but he could feel that the army's heart was a little noisy. When Yinfei was worried, the forward struggled to stand up with the support of the soldiers next to him, clenched his fists and shouted, Although Yinfei couldn't hear what he was saying, but looking through the binoculars at the man's expression, he knew that he was refuting the other party's words to appease the soldiers.

Yin Yin was still thinking about the gunshot wound the other party had just suffered, and looked down, startled—it turned out that at this time, the striker's intestines had flowed out.Although someone immediately held his intestines into his abdomen, and someone helped him bandage and dress him, but this scene was still a bit scary.

The striker ignored it completely, still shouting with a knife.

Both sides hooked each other's ships with iron hooks, and threw rockets, fire dragons, and cupping cans at each other.In the end, the Qing army attacked the Zheng army with gunpowder barrels, sank two warships, and burned many Zheng family sailors to death.

Zheng Jun's main force was forced to retreat.

While Yinbi breathed a sigh of relief, he was even more worried about the striker, thought for a while, and then whispered a few words in Zhanlu's ear, Zhanlu nodded and took the order to go.

"Damn, who is that guy? It's too boring, isn't he playing with my Zheng family's sailors?" Zheng Keshun's complaint suddenly came from his ear, and Yinzhen pointed the telescope in Zheng Kesun's direction. I almost laughed out loud at that scene.

It turned out that there was a small warship of the Qing army that had left the team. It was drifting left and right on the sea at an extremely fast speed.

The warships of the Zheng family didn't take those small things seriously at first, but they didn't expect that as soon as they approached, the thing suddenly exploded—maybe it was because the gunpowder was not large, but it just blew up the ship, and the sailors on board jumped into the water in a hurry.

In the middle of the day, he swam back to the shore in a hurry, and a young man walked out of the Qing army warship. He took off his armor cap, leaned against the strings of the ship, and smiled happily. His thick black hair was particularly dazzling in the sun.

Yin Yin pursed his lips and laughed silently, ha, he seems to have seen this person before!

Turning around and continuing to look at the main battlefield, the Qing army was numerous and powerful, and the Zheng family's army was retreating steadily.Seeing the enemy ships being destroyed one by one, Yinyi couldn't help cheering for the Qing army secretly in his heart, without hiding the excited expression on his face.

A fierce battle was fought heartily and lasted for a little while.

In the evening, Liu Guoxuan, the chief general of the Zheng army, seemed to see that the situation was not good, and led a few warships to break through the encirclement and fled back to Taiwan.In this regard, Yinyi inevitably felt a little regretful.

After the battle was over, Yinfeng and Zheng Keshuang went back to the palace overnight, and they also chatted about the routine questioning of the housekeeper, fooling around.

Then Yinyi went back to the house, while Zheng Keshuang went to the main hall, waiting for Liu Guoxuan and Feng Xifan to come to report the military situation - the military situation of failure.

"...Our army destroyed nearly 200 large and small warships, wiped out more than 1.2 main forces, and surrendered nearly 5000 people. The lost ships and weapons and equipment have not yet been identified...Our army's elite troops are almost completely destroyed...It is estimated that the Qing army We will break through Penghu soon..." Liu Guoxuan reported the military situation to Zheng Keshuang, even if the other party is just a puppet king, he must do the superficial work that he should do, and what to do about the rest is that he will discuss it with his senior ministers every year, and then let the young His Majesty announced.

"Then what should we do?" Zheng Keshuang was very confused.He has no idea about these numbers, but after all, he has secretly witnessed the whole battle. Even if he can't understand the details, the result of Zheng's army's defeat is clear. Zheng Jiajun only needs to give orders.

The officials present were stunned and fell silent.

How to do?

Facing the menacing Qing army, what else could they do?

Only surrender.

But who dares to be the first to say this?

The illustrious foundation established by Zheng Gong back then was buried in their hands in less than [-] years.Think about it, the old prince was also ambitious back then, intending to go north, but he failed to achieve great success, and finally became disheartened and indulged in sensuality.

The Zheng family army gradually declined.

The word "surrender" was the ending they all knew, but it weighed a thousand catties, and it was in their mouths, so they couldn't spit it out.

In the end, Liu Guoxuan, who once faced the Qing army and knew the end of the Zheng family best, raised the hem of his clothes and knelt down first.

Knocking his head to the ground, the sound was deafening.

The ministers were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and then knelt down.

"I know what to do, you guys, get ready."

Zheng Keshuang left only this sentence and a long sigh, got up and left.

He didn't ask the group of courtiers to stand up, because he knew that he was not the one they knelt down.

They kneel down are the ancestors of the Zheng family. —His grandfather, father, and even, also, brother.

Only without him.

So, he doesn't deserve it.

After leaving the main house, Zheng Keshun raised his head and closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he was no longer weak and clumsy as usual, as if he had grown up in an instant and could bear the world that was about to collapse.

The author has something to say: It’s terrible to have intestines leaking out, General Lan Li is really 87!

Xiao Zheng's shoes are sad. . . . .
