Chapter 867 Aboriginal sneak attack(1/2)

The sailors on the Spanish battleship were thrown around by the huge inertial impact. Many people fell and were injured, and some artillerymen were killed and injured by the rolling cannon...

In the middle part of the Spanish warship, a huge gap was created by the collision, which was more than four meters long. The entire warship was almost broken by the waist...

Sea water surged into the Spanish battleship's cabin along the large hole, and the battleship sank rapidly...

The force of the impact was really great. Although the bow of the Chongzhen had a collision angle, the battleship was also damaged and seawater entered several sealed compartments, but it would not sink.

Compared with bombardment, the effect of ramming is obviously more effective. If it were simply bombarded, this Spanish warship would not have sunk so quickly.

Seeing Spanish soldiers running around crying on the sinking battleship, Huang Fei ordered Chongzhen to retreat a certain distance, and the soldiers stood on the deck to watch the sinking of the Figaro...

The Chongzhen sank a Spanish warship, and three other Spanish warships were also sunk or were sinking slowly, but one small warship escaped.

Neither Huang Fei nor Shi Lang expected that the Spanish warship actually had manual oars. With the combined effect of sails and manpower, this small warship quickly got rid of the pursuing Ming warship...

The Ming Dynasty Navy fought vigorously in three naval battles to regain Taiwan, wiping out almost all the fleets from the Netherlands and Spain.

These three perfect naval battles have put the Ming Dynasty fleet at the pinnacle in Asia. They will definitely prevent Western colonists from invading Taiwan for decades, and they can also ensure the peace of the Ming Dynasty's coast for decades...



After regaining Taiwan, Zhu Chenggong led two naval deputy commanders, Shi Lang and Huang Fei, to inspect Taiwan's coastal defenses and harbors non-stop for days.

The Ming Dynasty's expeditionary fleet will be stationed in Taiwan. Currently, Taiwan's port is too small and must be expanded.

Yan Yingyuan, Zhang Shuting and others are responsible for allocating land to Taiwanese people. Taiwanese rice is harvested three times a year and must be utilized.

Taiwan has a small population, and many of them were migrated from Fujian by Zheng Zhilong. They have the greatest sense of belonging to the Ming Dynasty.

If each household is given dozens of acres of land, there will still be a lot of land left.

The remaining land will be built into farms, which will later be used as supplies for Taiwan's garrison, and can also be used as military fields to be distributed to soldiers with military exploits.

Taiwanese people are treated the same as mainland people. All taxes are cancelled, and only a small amount of food and salary is levied.

The standard collection fee is one hundred kilograms, and the grain harvest is ten kilograms, and no other fees will be charged.

In the past, almost all the food grown by Taiwanese people was taken away by the Dutch, and they couldn't have enough to eat at all.

As a southern region in Taiwan, rice can be grown three times a year. With such a low crop yield, people can not only have enough food and clothing, but also have excess rice to sell, and their difficult lives will be completely changed.

The people were very grateful to the Ming army for their arrival, which not only helped them drive away the red-haired ghosts, but also provided them with food and clothing in the future.

Some people were happy and some were sad. The people were happy, but the chieftains of the Bura and Bazehai tribes were very angry.

Although the Ming army did not confiscate all their land, it caused them great losses.

In the past, the common people were their tenants, but now they are their masters.

They used to have thousands or even tens of thousands of acres of land, but now half of it has been divided by the common people.

This is often the case when people are dissatisfied. They only think about losing the land they have occupied.

But don’t think about it. When the Dutch ruled Taiwan, although they had a lot of land, most of their harvests were harvested by the colonists.

Despite this, they were not grateful to the Ming army and began to resent the Ming army.

They even regard the people as a thorn in their flesh, and in their eyes everything here belongs to them.

Because they were weak and weak, they knew they could not fight against the Ming Dynasty.

In order to drive the Ming army out of Taiwan, they found the king of the Dadu Kingdom and wanted to join forces with the Dadu Kingdom to fight against the Ming army.

King Alami of the Dadu Kingdom originally submitted to the Dutch, and they were also very resistant to the Ming army.

In order to counter the Ming army, they quickly reached an agreement and prepared to attack the Ming army, Han people and Taiwanese indigenous people who were pro-Ming.

They didn't even think about it. Even if the Ming army voluntarily withdraws, will their small number of people be able to survive in Taiwan? The Dutch will definitely make a comeback.



In the Changhua area in later generations, a group of Ming troops were surveying the villagers' fields.

The people who were allocated fields were all smiling. They had long heard that the Ming Army was going to allocate fields, and today it was finally their turn.

In order to thank the Ming army, the people took out the little food at home to comfort the Ming army.

Some middle-aged women enthusiastically brought fruits to thank their great benefactors.

"Thank you for your hard work, Master Jun. I don't have anything good to entertain you at home. Let's have some fruit..."

Taiwan is not a small place. The Ming army had just arrived and many places were not familiar to them.

In order to facilitate management, a new group of locals were recruited to join the Ming army. Their main task was to measure and allocate fields to the people.

Seeing how enthusiastic the people were, they did not refuse. One person picked up a piece of fruit and said with a smile:

"Our military discipline is strict and we cannot take things from the people casually. We will make an exception today. Thank you very much."

The aunt smiled happily and said:

"It's okay, they're all picked in the mountains and don't cost money..."

Before the aunt finished speaking, a group of people suddenly rushed out of the woods not far away.

These people held swords and guns in their hands and rushed towards the Ming army, shouting loudly.

"Kill them, we cannot let these Han people divide our land..."

The Ming troops who came today were all local soldiers who had just joined the army. They had not yet been trained to use firearms, and they only carried a saber. Only the commander-in-chief was a veteran, and he had a blunderbuss.

There were about a hundred people on the other side, all of them strong men wearing shorts. The general flag of the Ming Army could guess their identities, they were members of the Dadu Kingdom.

The visitor was indeed a member of the Dadu Kingdom. He surrendered to the Dutch and became an accomplice of the Dutch in plundering the property of the local people.

There were too many people on the other side. They only had more than 20 soldiers, and there were only three strong men among the people. The others were old people and women. The commander-in-chief knew that something was wrong and hurriedly shouted to the people:

"Quick, everyone run with us. As long as you reach the military camp, you will be safe..."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The common people, who had been in high spirits just now, suddenly saw the indigenous people rushing towards them with weapons. They were all frightened and their legs felt weak.

Older people would fall over after running for a few steps. They were completely unable to compare with the strong men from the big-bellied country. They were overtaken before they could run very far.

The natives didn't say anything, they just came up and slashed people with their swords.

"I'll hold off for a while. You guys, hurry up and take the villagers to a safe place..."

The general banner did not abandon the people and fled on his own, but ordered several Ming soldiers to continue running with the people.

He stopped and prepared to resist for a while, creating opportunities for the people to escape.

A dozen Ming army recruits, who had never fought in a battle, felt their calves trembling when they saw so many people with weapons rushing towards them, so they picked up the old people, women and children and ran away.

The commander-in-chief was also very nervous, but in order to cover the people's escape, he bravely stayed to stop the natives.

"Stop, you can't repay kindness with enmity, let alone hurt the people..."

"Kill him."

A short fat man at the head looked at the general flag with cold eyes, then suddenly waved his hand, and immediately several strong men rushed towards the general flag with swords raised.

Zong Qi has experienced hundreds of battles and has good swordsmanship. The strong man from the Big Belly Kingdom relied solely on brute force to kill him. As soon as he made contact, he was killed by Zong Qi:

"puff……"

The strong man screamed and fell to the ground.

The leader, the short fat man, was furious and shouted loudly:

"He was hacked to death with knives, and the others caught up and hacked to death the fleeing gang."

It seemed that the short fat man was the leader of these people. He gave an order, and the strong men of the Big Belly Kingdom immediately divided their troops into two groups. Some went to hunt down the common people, while the remaining dozens were ready to hack the general flag to death with swords.

The commander-in-chief knew that today was over, and he was the only one who could fight. The brothers were still rookies, and if you extended your head to them, they might not dare to kill him.

There is no Ming army camp nearby, and the nearest military camp is an hour away.

Forget it, kill a few people first to scare the natives, and then think of a solution later.

"Bang bang bang..."

The commander-in-chief no longer hesitated, and immediately took out his pistol, pulled the trigger directly on the rushing natives, and fired all seven bullets in the gun in one go.

The general's marksmanship was very good, with almost no misses. From a distance of more than 20 meters, he killed seven natives in an instant.

Hearing the sound of firecrackers and seeing seven people killed in a row, the natives who were charging were frightened and stopped in a hurry.

It's not like they haven't seen fire cannons before. The Dutch had hand cannons, but they could only fire one bullet. Today, the fire cannons in the hands of the Ming army can actually fire seven consecutive rounds.

Soon the opponent's leader reacted and hurriedly shouted:

"He has no ammunition, kill him quickly..."

The natives were a little timid at first, but after a long time they couldn't see the other side continuing to shoot. They became bolder again and charged forward again with weapons in hand.

The general flag put away his musket, drew his saber again, and rushed forward to fight with the natives...

A machete struck his back quickly. When he heard the sound of wind coming from behind, Zongqi didn't turn around or dodge. He suddenly stabbed behind him with the saber in his hand.

This is a lose-lose style of fighting. He would rather be injured than he would kill his opponent. No matter how he fights, he will die anyway.

"puff……"

A knife pierced the man's chest, and the tip of the knife came out directly from his body. The man's machete had just cut through the clothes on the back of the general flag.
To be continued...
