The person who suspected that he was dreaming pinched his thigh hard.

Hiss ~

pain!

It's really not a dream!

On the other hand, the subsequent words of the "General" and the actions of the Ming army soldiers also proved that they were indeed not dreaming.

"Next, you will line up to register under the leadership of the village leader. We will first pay you today's wages, and then everyone will just listen to the assignment to do the work."

Then, under the guidance of Ming soldiers, Liu Lin and other villagers lined up to register.

Just pay for the money after registration!

However, when Xu Lin registered and received the money, he found that it was not Chongzhen Tongbao, but a very exquisite big money for picking up the text.

"This is Zhaowu Tongbao, the hard currency on the mainland, please feel free to use it."

Liu Lin thought to himself, don’t be a fool such good money.

Immediately bowed and said thank you, and took the money to get out of the position.

After registering, Ming Jun put food for them again.

That is, the coarse and hard grain cakes, plus a large bowl of vegetable soup with some oil stars, but the villagers such as Wu Lin were particularly sweet.

It's free, but it's given by the government. How can it not be sweet?

After dinner, Lin Dazhuang selected more than a dozen team leaders to wait for the assignment.

After a while, Lin Dazhuang and others came back from the task, took everyone to get the tools, and then started working.

It was not a heavy task, so I followed the path leading to the senior officials before, cut down trees on both sides, leveled the ground, and opened up a road that facilitated the army's advance.

Lin Dazhuang and other village leaders took the lead in working and encouraged everyone.

"Friends, after we eat the food of the court, we must work hard for the court.

And if this road is repaired, it is now for the government army to walk. Aren’t we going to walk ourselves in the future?

The road is spacious and flat. Wouldn't it be more convenient for us to walk back and forth with the donkey cart?"

Someone quipped after hearing this: "Lin Dazhuang, not everyone is like yours, you have cows, donkeys, and carts. What paths are different for us?"

Lin Dazhuang smiled and said, "There are always everything--there are everyone who has seen what the government and the army treats the people today.

It is said that the emperor now is a fairy descending to earth to protect the Ming Dynasty. In the future, Dongfan Island becomes the Dongfan Mansion in Fujian, and everyone will definitely live a good life!"

Lin Dazhuang's words, everyone's stomachs and real Zhaowu Tongbao in their hands made everyone full of energy.

Villages and villages shouted trumpets and quickly opened up the road with the garrison...

In order to implement the plan to use the city of Jelanzha to attract the attack of the Ming army, the Dutch drove the officials and Han people near Chikan to guard the villages near the castle within a few days. As for those further away, they could not control it for the time being.

At the same time, the orders given to each stronghold can be kept in a precautionary manner. If you cannot, you will withdraw to the senior officials and Chikan in time to preserve your strength.

On the sea, the fleet with ten battleships from Batavia was not in a hurry to attack the Nanyang Navy fleet, but instead monitored from afar, allowing the Nanyang Navy fleet to approach the waters near the Grand Secretary.

May 27th.

The Nanyang Navy received news from Dongfan Island and learned that the garrison vanguard had already marched into the area of ​​Xiaolong Cultivated Land and Xingangxi, not far from Chikan (where Chicing City is located).

The large army behind also passed Ouwang and could cooperate with the navy to cross the sea to attack Luermen from the northern sandbanks.

Zheng Hongkui, the acting admiral of the Nanyang Navy, ordered to approach Dayuan Island and attack Relanzha City.

If it is the army of other countries at this time, it is difficult to act simultaneously on land and oceans and cooperate closely.

However, the Ming army not only had walkie-talkies, such as later technological items, but also had clocks that had been reduced to less than a big crowd.

Although the Nanyang Navy could not make a clock on each warship, the generals and guerrilla-level generals basically had one.

Therefore, on the morning of May 28, a land-sea coordinated battle that seemed quite incredible to the Dutch occurred...

At several key locations on the northern sandbank, Dutch forts and stone forts stand.

This kind of stone castle is not for people to live in for a long time. It is only about five or six meters in diameter, or even narrower. It only has a circle of rotating upward stairs, as well as some gun holes and shooting holes.

Of course, the gun hole of the stone castle can accommodate small-caliber cannons with ten pounds, and the cannons with slightly larger caliber cannons are placed on the outside turret.

Because I began to prepare for the Ming Dynasty's attack three months ago, there are now five stone forts and twenty-three forts on these sandbanks, which firmly block the sea area.

Although the sea water here is shallow and there are many reefs, it is impossible to take a large sea boat, if a large number of small boats go around here to the bay of the inner harbor and attack the city of Lelanzha with the outer harbor, it will also make the guards feel quite uncomfortable.

Therefore, Connor, the highest military commander of Dongfan Island, arranged more than 200 Dutch soldiers here, ensuring that each stone fort has basically 40 or 50 soldiers.

Based on the strong stone fort and fort, these soldiers were completely sufficient to defend the northern laneway leading to the Inner Harbor Bay.

It was almost eight o'clock in the morning, the sun was not strong and the sea breeze was cool.

Most of the Dutch soldiers who had just had breakfast were having a breath outside the stone fort - in May and June, even in the morning, the stone fort was hot. If it was nothing, even if the Dutch soldiers were more able to endure hardships, they would not be willing to stay there.

in.

Of course, there are people on duty on the lookout post at the top of the stone fort and on the fort.

"The Ming people's warships appeared!"

The soldier at the top of the stone fort who was responsible for watching the enemy situation suddenly shouted.

Soon, these Dutch soldiers saw a large scattered sails emerging from the sea and quickly approached here.

"Isn't it expected that Ming people will walk the northern alley?" The sergeant captain, as the commander of this stone fort, smiled relaxedly, "Otherwise, what will we do here?"

Another corporal captain said, "Don't be nervous. It's not the high tide period. The Ming people's big ships cannot reach nearby, and the cannons on the big ships cannot hit here.

They can only come with small boats, and how many cannons can a small boat carry? I'm afraid it won't be possible for ten-pound cannons.

Moreover, the boat has no protection against our shells, and it is just our gun target at that time!"

After hearing the two of them, the Dutch soldiers who were still a little nervous suddenly felt relieved.

Then, the larger warships of the Ming people were indeed as they expected, and they had to stop outside the range of warship artillery.

Then a large number of small boats crossed the large boat and sent them to the side.

Seeing this, the sergeant captain shouted, "Young men, you are all ready to shoot the target!"

After saying that, the sergeant captain quickly climbed to the top of the stone fort, and held a telescope to prepare to watch the enemy situation while commanding the soldiers below to fire artillery.

Seeing that the larger warship of the Ming Kingdom continued to sail for a while, the nearest one was three miles away from the sand island, the sergeant captain was basically relieved.

According to his understanding, the Ming Dynasty may have cannons with a range of more than three miles, such as 18-pound cannons or 24-pound cannons with larger calibers, but they are generally used to defend cities or as shore defense cannons and are basically not installed on warships.

.

Even if installed, at most one or two doors are placed at the bow of the large warship and at the stern of the ship. The number is small and there is no firepower coverage.

After all, this kind of 24-pound super-large heavy artillery, even the Dutch third- and fourth-level battleships, only installed four to six, and the remaining ones were more than ten pounds of cannons.

Therefore, when the Qianli Mile Mile, the sergeant captain suddenly smiled at the soldiers beside him and said, "Don't worry, young man, the Ming people's cannons cannot hit here."

As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, one of the Ming warships roared with artillery fire, and a live ammunition drew a graceful arc and landed on the sandbar.

Seeing the strange look of the soldiers beside him, the sergeant felt that he could not bear to worry about his face, so he shouted: "I dare to use my pious guarantee to the Lord. There must be very few heavy artillery people in the Ming Dynasty who can shoot such a long distance, so even if they can hit the sand island,

The chance of accurately hitting the stone castle is also pitifully small."

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen Ming warships on the sea with more than a thousand materials roared together.

However, there were all gun doors with side strings exposed, and there were about ten gun doors on one side of each warship.
Chapter completed!
