Chapter 118: The Eight Min Rebellion (5)
Chapter 118: The Rebellion in Eight Min (5)
If there is a real person who is interested, he will find that these days, there are surprisingly many messengers from Lingnan to Guanzhong.
Because someone kept relaying the message, the time when Yun Zhao got the message was less than fifteen days apart from the time when actually happening in Lingnan.
Therefore, every message Yun Zhao saw was a real event that happened fifteen days ago.
It was already midnight when the news of the bombing of Zheng Zhihu Temple and the killing of 562 people below Zheng Zhilong came.
After Yun Zhao put on his clothes and read the documents, he hurried back to the big study room and issued a lot of orders to Yang Xiong, Qian Shaoshao and the others.
Before dawn, countless messengers hurriedly left Yushan City.
Nowadays, the entire Fujian area is looking for the murderer who killed Zheng Zhilong, especially Zheng Zhilong's younger brother Zheng Zhibao, who is the most crazy with Zheng Zhilong's son Zheng Jing.
Zheng Zhibao was willing to give out a reward of ten thousand gold coins to search for traces of the murderer all over the world. As for Zheng Jing, he was already wearing mourning clothes and mourning to search for Liu Xiang's remains.
Because, on the day Zheng Zhilong arrived at Zheng Zhihu Temple, it was Liu Xiang's remnants who were planning to assassinate Zheng Zhilong.
The murder of Zheng Zhilong also scared the rest of the characters in Shibazhi.
They couldn't believe that Zheng Zhilong's five hundred guards were wiped out at Humen Beach.
Zheng Zhilong once boasted about Haikou, saying that as long as the five hundred guards under his command were there, even though the world was big, he could go.
Now, except for the bodies of Shi Lang and the other six guards who were not found, some of the rest have been found. Therefore, some people believe that without an insider, these five hundred guards would not be able to be killed on the beach without even the power to fight back.
This was first said by Zheng Zhibao.
Then, Zheng Jing, who was furious like a wild beast, killed Shi Lang's family without saying anything.
The battlefield was cleaned very clean by those people. They basically found no unnecessary things except for the traces of gunpowder explosions, as well as shrapnel and lead bullets dug out from the guards.
The people of Shibazhizhong restored the process of the bombing of Zheng Zhihu Temple... Then, they pointed their target at the Dutch!
Only the Dutch people have so many firearms, and only the Dutch people use gunpowder so skillfully.
They even found the hiding hole dug by the man in black in the field.
On the ninth day of the 10th month, Zheng Zhilong's first seventh.
Someone from Shibazhizhong suggested that a snake cannot do without a head, and a new leader should be selected from Shibazhizhong.
Zheng Zhibao proposed that his nephew Zheng Jing be the leader, but was rejected by the people of Shibazhizhong for reasons that he had not achieved his mind and had no achievements. He only gave Zheng Jing the position of deputy leader.
At this time, Zheng Zhibao stood up and overwhelmed the heroes with the reason of inheriting his brother's ambition and maintaining his position as the leader for his nephew, becoming the boss of Shibazhi.
However, most of the people in the Eighteen Zhizhi were rebellious pirates. When Zheng Zhilong was there, no one dared to oppose Zheng Zhilong.
Zheng Zhilong killed Xu Xinsu, Li Kuiqi, Liu Xiang, defeated the Dutch, made good friends with the Japanese, and settled Taiwan, thus becoming the overlord of the Eastern Ocean.
Even the Dutch cannot transact directly with the Japanese through Zheng Zhilong.
His reputation was completely achieved by killing and shooting, and no one dared to ignore him.
Now, Zheng Zhilong is dead, and the biggest stone that has been put into operation has finally been removed.
For a moment, people's minds change.
Not only pirates are determined to change, but even the Dutch people entrenched on Taiwan Island think that their opportunity has come and they have begun to quietly approach the Penghu Islands.
The most important part of the Hanlingshan Eight Min plan is to provoke a war!
He never thought he could be invincible at sea. Therefore, after killing Zheng Zhilong, he took advantage of the right wind and headed straight for Zhangzhou Prefecture.
This time his target will be the Dutch!
At this time, the Zheng family was a powder barrel, and it only took a little bit of Mars to explode.
Hanlingshan planned to make this Mars.
The power of Zheng's family in the 18 Zhizhong is too great. If they cannot draw their attention away, it will still be difficult for Lantian County to develop its power in the eight Fujian areas.
This is also an important reason why Zheng Zhibao dared to cooperate with the Yun family. He firmly believed that with the powerful Zheng family, the tiger on the mountain of Yun family, even if he wanted to take advantage of it, it was just a business area.
Yun's trade target was obviously the far-sea pirate they placed in Malacca, and it was impossible for him to compete with him for the maritime trade routes of Japan, Taiwan, and even North Korea.
As long as Zheng firmly controls these three places, he can be invincible.
What he didn't know was that Yun Zhao's wild boar could be filled with just a little sea trade business.
Since the Battle of Penghu, there have been basically no Ming people on the Penghu Islands, and this place has become a paradise for pirates. They occupy islands with water sources, like countries outside the law.
For anyone familiar with the ocean, they are very clear about the importance of the Penghu Islands. They occupy it here. To the north, you can reach the Mazu Islands, Dachen Islands and Zhoushan Islands, and to the south, you can go to the Dongsha Islands and Nansha Islands.
It can also lead to Southeast countries, remote control of all maritime trade businesses with Japan and North Korea.
The Dutch understood that if the Zheng family could not occupy the place when they had no time to take care of the Penghu Islands, then in the future, the Zheng family would definitely use the Penghu Islands as a springboard to compete with them for Taiwan Island.
This is nothing more than a matter of first and later. At this point, the Dutch seem very smart.
In just six days, they captured Baisha Island, the third largest among the Penghu Islands.
Chen Liu, a pirate stationed on Baisha Island, was unable to resist the fierce artillery fire attack of Dutch armed merchant ships and had to retreat to the nearby Fisherman Island.
After Chen Liu's men fled to the Fisherman's Island in panic, they were greeted with dense bullets.
More than 720 pirates below Chen Liu were all killed on the white beach of Fisherman Island.
Hanlingshan had just finished disposing of the bodies of Chen Liu and others, and the Dutch warships appeared on the sea level.
He stood in the coconut forest and looked at it with a telescope for a while, and waited for the Dutch to land.
He was not going to compete with the Dutch at sea.
The tall armed merchant ship as tall as a pavilion, just as the fisherman's island approached the Yuweng Island, the cannons on the island began to show their power. Unfortunately, this kind of small cannon of Thousand Polang has no effect except for making some splashes on the sea, and it has no ability to deter the Dutch.
Flashes of gunpowder emerged from the armed merchant ship, and then countless black shells were smashed like raindrops. In a short time, the simple artillery position on the fisherman's island was smashed into chaos.
Han Lingshan frowned and looked at the coconut tree that was broken by the shells. He did not expect that the Dutch artillery's power was so sharp.
The armed merchant ships slowly approached the Fisherman Island. After arriving at the shallow sea, hundreds of small boats were put down from the two armed merchant ships. The Dutch soldiers in iron armor shook their oars and began to land under the cover of artillery fire.
Under the cover of artillery fire from armed merchant ships, this battle was basically impossible to fight, so Han Lingshan ordered his five hundred subordinates to march towards the center of the island.
The Dutch, who didn't know that the opponent had changed, still gave enough attention to the pirates like Chen Liu. After landing, they did not actively approach the island, but camped on the beach.
Therefore, in the sunset, the scenes of metal people swaying on the beach made Hanlingshan’s subordinates look quite afraid.
Seeing this, the four old thieves in Yushan smiled, said to Hanlingshan and went back, and then got into the coconut forest.
An hour later, when it was completely dark, the old thieves of Yushan came back, and at the same time, they also dragged back two knocked out Dutch soldiers.
Looking at the Dutch's armor, Han Lingshan slashed the long sword in his hand, and the Dutch soldiers who had just been awakened by the cold water screamed in horror when they saw this.
Before the screaming stopped, his steel armor was split out by the steel knife in Han Lingshan's hand. The armor was split, but it did not hurt the Dutch's flesh.
"But that's it!"
Han Lingshan spat out a saliva with contempt, and then said to his subordinates: "It's your turn."
When fighting against these Dutch people with red eyebrows, green eyes and evil spirits, their subordinates may be timid, but even if these two evil spirits are fierce, they are prisoners. Therefore, their subordinates slashed them with heavy swords as Han Lingshan.
The strength was not enough and the accuracy of the head was not good. The armor cut open a half-foot-long hole, and the same length of blood was cut out from the body.
Han Lingshan ignored the Dutchman's screams and said to the deployments coldly: "Next!"
One after another, until all five hundred people were tested, the two Dutch men, even the armor and the men were cut into meat paste.
"This will be the battle tomorrow."
Han Lingshan glanced at the two piles of minced meat on the ground and said, "If you are really scared, just find a piece of meat to eat, so that you won't be afraid."
After saying that, he jumped onto the hammock tied to the coconut tree, and fell asleep deeply with the long knife in his arms.
I don’t know if anyone eats the minced meat to make up his courage. When he woke up in the morning, Hanlingshan saw the Dutch people holding muskets and axes and guns starting to search the island.
It was strange that the one who walked in front was not a military soldier, but a priest wearing a black hat. He was carrying an incense burner-like thing in his hand, and he was chanting scriptures while moving in the direction guided by the commander.
The tall divine banner makes the upcoming war look extremely strange.
Han Lingshan sneered, and when the priest and two apprentices without hair on their heads had just walked into the range of the bow and arrow, they suddenly pulled the big bow. With a "buzzing" sound, a feather arrow as thick as a finger flew out.
Before the feather arrow hit the target, the bow was drawn twice in a row. Three feather arrows shot through the priest and the priest's apprentice's throat almost at the same time. At the same time, more crossbow arrows were also shot out.
The Dutch, who was suddenly attacked, raised an iron shield to protect him in front of him and firmly protected his four sides.
Feather arrows and crossbow arrows fell on the shield, and the jingling sounded and landed one after another.
Han Lingshan was not surprised that the crossbow arrows did not work.
Wave his subordinates to stop shooting arrows and wait for the Dutch to continue approaching.
The Dutch held up their shields and slowly advanced forward, stretching out their long axe and gun, as if they wanted to have a hand-to-hand battle than Hanlingshan.
