In the early morning, before the sky was completely bright, thirty small boats sailed out of the Song Dynasty fleet and rowed rapidly towards Tainan.

Half an hour later, the thirty small boats entered a river along the landing route that had been explored in advance.

The ship where He Dalai was located carries eighteen soldiers from the Great Song Pioneer Camp, including He Dalai's closest brother Mo Xiaoba, and Liu Jixiang. He Dalai was also a reincarnated man. It is said that his ancestors had also been officials of the Great Song Dynasty. The troubles of Jingkang were caused by the He family, and the He family was destroyed. Many years later, as a descendant of the He family, He Dalai joined the Song and Song army and became a senior sergeant who was exempt from tattooing. He Dalai was very knowledgeable about literature and writing, and his physique was very strong, so he soon became a capable subordinate of Liu Jixiang.

A slightly larger ship not far away was the command ship of today's operation. The commander Guo Xixian was responsible for commanding the Song Dynasty's first landing operation this time. He Dalai noticed that Guo Xixian held up a copper tube, one big and one small, and looked at the distance from time to time. After a while, he put it down again. He Dalai was curious and asked Liu Jixiang in a low voice, asking what the strange copper tube was. Liu Jixiang was also vague about this, only knowing that the thing seemed to be called "Qianliyan". With that thing, you can see very far and far. I guess Commander Guo was using this "Qianliyan" to see the situation on the shore.

I heard that Guo Xi was originally a martial Jinshi, and this time he led the Pioneer Camp to Taiwan. It can be seen that Shangfeng attaches great importance to this landing. Of course, if the landing is successful, he, as a member of the Pioneer Camp, should receive considerable rewards. According to Liu Jixiang, the landing location was chosen in a area where there were no indigenous peoples. I wonder if Commander Guo had a clairvoyance, had already seen the situation in the distance. He thought that even if there were indigenous people, he would still be sleeping at this moment.

A flag verb came from the command ship, indicating that everything was normal. Since everything was normal, it naturally means that no indigenous people were found.

Entering the river from the coast, He Dalai has not found a native of sight so far. He Dalai thought, this should be a landing without bloodshed.

Soon, the fleet arrived at the landing site. As the ships approached the river bank one after another, He Dalai's ship also leaned on the thatched river bank. Before the ship could stand firm, the two sailors sent the wooden boards prepared in advance to the shore. One end of the board was placed on the shaking boat and the other end was placed on the river bank. Liu Jixiang waved his hand, and He Dalai immediately rose up, stepped on the wooden board, and then took a quick step, landing steadily on the shore. As soon as his foot landed, he immediately picked up the crossbow to warn his landing companions.

He Dalai looked around and saw that this was a gentle slope covered with thatched grass. There was indeed no trace of indigenous people living in it. Looking further away, there was a vague stone house of indigenous people from afar. Seeing this, He Dalai's nervous mood was greatly relieved.

Suddenly, a "thump" sound came. He Dalai didn't know what was going on. He quickly turned his head and saw that Mo Xiaoba had fallen into the water. When Mo Xiaoba stepped onto the wooden board, the wooden board shook. Mo Xiaoba was not careful and lost his center of gravity. He was wearing armor and holding a spear in his hand. His body couldn't help but fall into the water. Then three soldiers rushed to pull Mo Xiaoba to the shore, but Mo Xiaoba was muddy at this time and looked extremely embarrassed. Everyone couldn't help laughing.

Mo Xiaoba felt very embarrassed and felt that he had lost the face of Liu Jixiang and his team. He Dalai pulled Mo Xiaoba over, helped him to sort out a little, and comforted him:

"Xiao Ba, it's okay. Even if you're wet, you can still beat the Taiwanese pirates, right!"

After hearing He Dalai's words, Xiaoba was suddenly excited and no longer depressed as before. Then he imagined the scene of Taiwanese pirates being beaten down by himself. Mo Xiaoba couldn't help but smile honestly. According to Liu Jixiang, this time the army came to wipe out Taiwanese pirates, but it is said that Taiwan's pirates are very limited, and most of them are still native good people who have never done evil, so they must be treated differently. The general difference is that those who dare to resist are pirates, and those who do not resist are good people.

Mo Xiaoba believed Liu Jixiang's words, but He Dalai did not agree with it. He Dalai thought that this was clearly about occupying Taiwan, and fighting pirates was just a cover, but He Dalai just buried this idea in his heart and did not dare to say it out loud.

In fact, the propaganda plan of the Song Dynasty was a phased propaganda case. The first stage of propaganda was to combat Taiwan's pirates, and the second stage of propaganda was to promote the crime of slandering the people. Is there any pirates in Taiwan, or is there any? Perhaps there is, or not. Anyway, it is "moxu" and any resistance is pirates. The Song Dynasty did not make the first crime of crimes like "moxu" so He Dalai didn't think it was strange.

In any case, so far, no sign of indigenous people has been found, let alone resistance. All indigenous people, including the "Imperially appointed" by the Song Dynasty, may be sleeping soundly.

However, the landing operation of the Song Dynasty was progressing very quickly. The 500 vanguard battalions led by Guo Xixian quickly completed the landing and immediately occupied a small area on both sides of the strait. Except for a few unlucky sergeants who accidentally sprained their ankles when landing, and as well as guys like Mo Xiaoba who accidentally fell into the water, nothing happened. The entire landing operation seemed very perfect.

He Dalai saw a red flag planted on a high slope. He Dalai did not know that this was conveying the message of a successful landing to the fleet on the sea. In fact, the two observation ships were always following the thirty small boats not far or near. The commander on the ship was Lin Mao, who was the same year Guo Xixian. He raised the monocular telescope from time to time and looked at the shore from the sea. Soon, he saw the banner of landing success in the telescope, so he immediately sent a command to raise a flag to report the news of landing success to the main fleet behind him.

Zhao Han stood at the bow of the flagship, holding a monocular lens, observing the situation in the distance from time to time. The lenses of this monocular lens are a little blue. When you use it to see the distance, the scenery is a little blue. However, Zhao Han felt that the things that can see far away were very useful, so this time the platform was equipped with six telescopes. Because it is very difficult to polish the lenses, it cannot be configured in large quantities for the time being.

When Zhao Yan raised the telescope again with anticipation, this time he finally saw the flag raised on the observation ship and landed successfully! Zhao Yan blurted out, and then Zheng Shi and Li Tongzuo also saw the same signal in the telescope. After confirming that the login was successful, the flagship immediately issued further instructions, and the subsequent login operation began.

It was just past six o'clock at this time. Most of the natives in Taiwan were still sleeping, but the deployment of the defense circle could not be delayed for a moment. According to the plan, in order to ensure the landing, the Pioneer Camp would build two double-layer defense circles composed of barbed wire and trenches. It was not difficult to pull the barbed wire. At this time, the barbed wire had gradually taken shape and it was difficult to dig trenches. Guo Xixian estimated that it would take about an hour to build the defense circle. At the same time, Guo Xixian did not forget to send the vanguards to search in all directions.

Fortunately, no natives have noticed this landing operation yet. Guo Xi first urged the excavation of the defense circle, and arranged for subsequent landing troops to continuously log in. Soon, Guo Xi first waited for the second batch of landing teams.

Liu Jixiang faithfully carried out Guo Xixian's order. He Dalai was ordered to take ten people, including Mo Xiaoba, to search for warning further away. He Dalai happily took the order. Everything went too smoothly. It was hard for He Dalai to imagine that the indigenous people in Taiwan would have the courage to resist in the next step.

It was not until the search team sent out rushed to the territory of the natives that some natives discovered something strange, but they didn't know what these people who came ashore wanted to do. Anyway, it was very different from those who came to trade items in the past. These people suddenly came up, and they were all wearing armor and holding sharp weapons. There had never been such a scene in many years.

He Dalai led his ten soldiers to search and advance, and ran far away. Then he saw three stone huts. The roof was covered with thatch, which made He Dalai pitiful of the living conditions of the natives. He Dalai made some noise, and soon there was a reaction in the shed. A feather arrow shot out, and Mo Xiaoba was unlucky again. He screamed and saw an arrow on his arm. So all the soldiers of the Song army immediately raised their shields and held their weapons tightly, as if they were facing a great enemy.

He Dalai went over to check Mo Xiaoba's injuries. When he looked carefully, he found that this was a bamboo arrow with no metal head cuts on it. It seemed that it had not penetrated the armor Mo Xiaoba was wearing. He Dalai easily pulled out the arrow, then patted Mo Xiaoba's shoulder and said nothing. Mo Xiaoba only felt that it was unbearable to be hit by the arrow. But now when he saw it, he might not even hurt his flesh, and he showed a hint of shy expression. In fact, Mo Xiaoba was wet before, and the protective power increased after the linen was wet, which was a bit of a blessing in disguise.

Mo Xiaoba had a slight expression, but in the end he was very angry at the sneak attack that shot him with an arrow, so he said hatefully:

"There are pirates inside, right? When I smash their door, see how they can hide."

The others also echoed loudly and shouted to kill the thief. When these soldiers saw that the weapons inside were simple and belonged to the category of soft persimmons, they could be bullied. Moreover, these guys strictly comply with the official "pirate" characteristics, and they just happened to get the merits of killing, so they were all very enthusiastic.

He Dalai briefly read some of the ways of benevolence and forgiveness, and he couldn't bear to start a big killing, so he said:

"What are these people pirates? Can there be a few bamboo arrows called pirates? Let's shout first, if they don't listen, then use iron cannons to scare them for a while and drive them away."

The iron cannon, also called the thunder and thunder cannon, is a fire-driven fire-throwing firearm that is between burning and explosion. This firearm began to be found in the Northern Song Dynasty, but the explosion power of this firearm is very limited. The Song army brought a lot this time, which was specially used to scare the natives.

The shouting was naturally to play the piano at the cow, and several bamboo arrows were shot out again inside, which made He Dalai Da angry. So with an order, three iron cannons were thrown at the thatched roof of the shed at the same time.

With three loud "boom boom boom", the hut was lit up with flames. After a while, I heard a few miles of shouts, and then the doors of the three huts opened wide. The first guy wearing animal skins and looking like a savage ran away and ran away without a trace.
