Chapter 1028 Gunner Duel, the Dutch's Army was wiped out

(1028)

【Today's third update is delivered!】

The negotiations between Xiong Wencan and Anita entered a white-hot state from the beginning. Both sides refused to give in on the issue of Formosa's ownership. Both of them were experts in negotiations, and both tried to overwhelm each other and forced the other to make concessions.

The basic requirement of the Hu Ben Army is to withdraw all the Dutch people from Formosa and not leave any of them. Even if they stay in nearby islands, it is not possible. If the Dutch want to come to Formosa, they must now obtain approval from the Hu Ben Army. In the near future, they must obtain approval from the New Empire. In other words, Formosa is part of the territory of the New Empire.

The Dutch, the bottom line is to retain at least half of the Formosa. They even wanted to occupy the entire Formosa. Anita proposed that they could pay a certain fee to the Hu Ben Army and "lent" Formosa in form. Just like the Macau that the Portuguese "lent" to Macau. Of course, this fee will not be much. It cannot exceed 10,000 Dutch guilds per year.

Of course, Anita's proposal was rejected by Xiong Wencan. The Hu Ben Army is currently trying to contact the Portuguese and is preparing to take back Macau with courtesy and then soldiers. The Dutch also wanted to rent Formosa, but she didn't even think about it. Not only Formosa, but also many places in the South China Sea. As long as the Zheng He fleet was visited before, the Hu Ben Army would take them back.

It has to be said that the contribution of Zheng He's fleet is definitely huge. Many of the ruins left by Zheng He's fleet before have become powerful evidence that the Celestial Kingdom first discovered or controlled a certain place. As long as the Hu Ben Army insisted on these evidences, there would be an excuse to use the army in the future. Anyway, the time when the Western powers arrived in Southeast Asia, the Indian Ocean and other places was definitely later than the Zheng He's fleet. As for the local indigenous people, who cares about them?

"In your Ming Dynasty, Formosa does not belong to your territory."

Anita was smart and brought out the evidence. He took out the territory of the Ming Dynasty and placed it in front of Xiong Wencan. This damn Ming map was drawn in the 20th year of Hongwu and indeed did not include Dongfan Island. The distant Siberia, Sakhalin Island and other places were included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. However, Dongfan Island was not included.

This is also one of the few questions that Zhang Zhun never understood after traveling to the Ming Dynasty. He didn't understand why the power of the Ming Dynasty extended to Sakhalin Island but turned a blind eye to the Dongfan Island at his doorstep. Moreover, it seems that it is not just the Ming Dynasty. Previous dynasties also turned a blind eye to Taiwan Island. For some reason, all dynasties seem to have not clearly included Taiwan Island in their territory.

Logically speaking, Taiwan Island is also a place with abundant resources and mineral resources. How could no one be moved by such a good place? In the final analysis, the Central Plains dynasty is enough for people to live in and there is no need for this overseas treasure island. In addition, the weak awareness of the Shanghai Ocean, and most officials dare not go to sea, which leads to the current situation of Taiwan Island.

If Dongfan Island was included in the map drawn by the Ming Dynasty, Xiong Wencan would not have to worry about the Netherlands. Of course, if that were the case, Anita would not dare to take out the map of the Ming Dynasty as evidence. What the Dutch wanted to exploit was this loophole.

"Dongfan Island does not belong to your Netherlands either."

Xiong Wencan retorted without hesitation.

"But we're here first."

Anita argued.

"We Han people have arrived long ago."

Xiong Wencan hit the nail on the head and his words immediately became excited.

When talking about the history of Dongfan Island, where is Anita an opponent of Xiong Wencan? Xiong Wencan talked endlessly from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and to the Qin, Han and Three Kingdoms, Jin, Sui and Tang Dynasties, Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties, and directly talked about Anita. With his speed of speaking, poor Anita didn’t even have the chance to interrupt.

In fact, when it comes to the history of the Han people reaching Dongfan Island, the Dutch really has nothing to say. There is sufficient evidence that during the Three Kingdoms, some people immigrated to Taiwan Island in the Kingdom of Wu. Even before the Dutch arrived, there were Portuguese. The name Formosa was given by the Portuguese.

"Let's fight!"

Anita was forced to stand up in anger and was embarrassed.

He found that Xiong Wencan had no power to grab the chicken, so he wanted to take advantage of it and humiliated Xiong Wencan. He was really speechless and full of anger. He humiliated the other party in the duel arena, and Liang Hu Benjun had nothing to say.

If Xiong Wencan had come three years ago, Anita would not have been able to bird him. Because, three years ago, the Dutch would not take the power represented by Xiong Wencan seriously. No matter what Xiong Wencan said, he could have smiled contemptuously and then turned away. As the overlord of the world's ocean, Anita had the full power to do so.

But now it’s different! Now, Xiong Wencan represents the Hu Ben Army. Before this, the Dutch had already fought with the Hu Ben Army and knew that the Hu Ben Army was not easy to mess with. The Dutch are currently difficult to fight, and it is difficult not to fight. Anita, who is in a dilemma, naturally becomes angry and a little out of control.

"A wild man in the mountain village, a boring act!"

Xiong Wencan smiled and refused flatly.

Just kidding, Anita knew he had practiced it at first glance. Xiong Wencan was a scholar of his class and had never practiced fists and feet. If Lu Xiangsheng had done so, he might have agreed. However, Lu Xiangsheng would definitely not use a sword, but only a machete.

"Let your troops come down!"

Anita didn't give up, but she still entangled Xiong Wencan.

"All right!"

This time, Xiong Wencan unexpectedly agreed.

"good!"

Anita was overjoyed.

He knew that Xiong Wencan's guards were all from the Hu Ben Army. Defeating Xiong Wencan's guards was waiting to defeat the Hu Ben Army. At least, it could give the Dutch some psychological advantage and give the Hu Ben Army a little color.

In the end, Anita and Xiong Wencan discussed and decided to fight a short gun. Each side produced ten fast gunmen and drew their guns and shot each other. There were no rules for the game. It was the rule to try every means to kill the opponent first. The game continued until one side admitted defeat.

"Fifty yards."

Xiong Wencan first proposed the game distance.

“Fifty yards are too far.”

Anita frowned and said reluctantly.

In general, the distance between both sides is only about twenty yards in the short gun duel. In some finals, both sides are less than ten yards away. Fifty yards are so far, there is basically no hit rate for the short musket!

"Fifty yards, or more!"

Xiong Wencan insisted on this distance and refused to change his words.

This was something Zhang Zhun had specially ordered, and of course he could not change it. Although Xiong Wencan was not very clear about the meaning of this distance. No matter how reluctant Anita was, Xiong Wencan insisted on this distance and refused to shorten even a yard distance.

"All right!"

"Fifty yards!"

Anita agreed.

He had enough confidence in his gunmen. The gunmen he selected were all shots and shot dead. Even at a very long distance of fifty yards, they should be able to kill each other. Whether it was the speed of drawing the gun or the speed of loading ammunition, they completely surpassed the gunmen of the Tiger Army.

"good!"

"Let's start!"

Xiong Wencan nodded and said calmly.

Soon, ten gunmen from both sides stood on the clearing ground fifty yards away. Each of them carried at least four short muskets. These four short muskets were enough to ensure that they could provide enough firepower to both sides at the beginning of the duel.

I heard that there were gunmen to be a group final, and the Dutch people around me surrounded me. Listening to their fingers and whispers, Xiong Wencan understood that the ten Dutch gunmen seemed to have great backgrounds. They often duels with others and win every time. Because the losers had been beaten to death.

Xiong Wencan, who had just joined the Hu Ben Army, couldn't help but worry about the ten gunmen of the Hu Ben Army. He didn't know the details of these gunmen. These gunmen were arranged by Zhang Zhun before. The person in charge of leading them was an officer named Liu Mang. It is said that Liu Mang was Zhang Zhun's personal bodyguard.

"when!"

A crisp and turbulent voice came.

Anita personally rang the bronze bell at the beginning of the game.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The gunshot sounded like a bean-burning bean sounded immediately.

The gunmen on both sides drew their guns very fast and the shooting speed was also very fast. The people next to them had not yet understood that the Dutch gunman had fallen halfway. However, the gunmen of the Tiger Ben Army were only bleeding, but no one fell down.

"ah?"

"how so?"

Anita was stunned.

The Dutch people around were stunned at the same time.

"ah!"

"sharp!"

Xiong Wencan couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning.

As expected, he is Zhang Zhun's guard, and he is extraordinary in his actions. The Dutch will probably be wiped out this time. A moment later, Anita's face will definitely turn into a pig's liver.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Before the audience could come to their senses, the second round of gunfire sounded again.

All the Dutch gunmen fell, and there were still some people bleeding from the Tiger Ben Army gunmen, but no one fell. A duel that was originally thought to be very fierce came to an abrupt end. The Dutch gunmen were wiped out, and there were probably not many living people.

"cut!"

"mock up!"

"I told you to show off!"

Liu Mang blew the white smoke from the muzzle and said disdainfully.

He ignored the reactions of the people around him and made a gesture. The Hu Ben Army gunmen who were fighting all put away the Hawkeye gun. At this time, the audience around him slowly realized. Perhaps because the expectations and reality were too far apart, they were all petrified collectively.

It is estimated that this is the first time that many Dutch people have seen the style of the Hu Ben Army gunmen. It is estimated that this is also the first time that the Dutch gunmen have suffered such a defeat. In the past, even if they failed, the Dutch gunmen could shoot at least half of their opponents. Unexpectedly, today, they were all defeated, but they did not even hit an enemy!

Incredible!

It's really incredible!

No Dutchman could figure out what the reason was.

In fact, the Hu Ben Army relied on this short gun duel completely with the advantages of rifled rifles. The maximum killing distance of short muskets without rifles is 20 to 30 meters. The hit rate is only within 20 meters, which is more reliable. Once this distance is exceeded, it will be a tragedy.

On the contrary, the Hawkeye gun used by the Hu Ben Army had rifles. Both the killing distance and the aiming distance were more than fifty meters. The Dutch fired a fire at a distance of fifty meters, and it would be a big loss for the Dutch to not suffer a big loss. The Dutch did not know this secret, and Anita's arrogance made the ten Dutch gunmen who fought suffered a heavy price.

In the end, someone checked that the Dutch gunmen who fought on both sides had six deaths and four seriously injured. Two days later, these four were ineffective and died. On the Hu Ben Army, three were slightly injured, and no one died. Such a result made Anita feel a little crazy. However, he couldn't get mad. Because he really felt that the Hu Ben Army was really terrible. Such an opponent was definitely not easy to mess with.
