The slogan "September 9" has been changed. It seems that there are scholars in the rebel army. Early in the morning, every family in Shimei Village cooks delicious food. There are chickens to kill chickens, ducks to kill ducks. If it doesn't work, cook a dry meal.
No one knew whether the uprising would succeed, so they prepared "decapitation rice" for themselves and wanted to fight to the death with the red-haired ghost. They no longer thought about saving food to live.
The rebels first gathered in Shimei Village. In the middle of the morning, rebels from surrounding villages came to surrender.
There are many elders in the waist-knife world, holding bamboo poles, pins, kitchen knives and other weapons in their hands. Because the Dutch prohibit the Han people from hiding weapons privately, tens of thousands of rebel troops, even a handful of them, Guo Huaiyi climbed up and shouted: "Dear elders from home,
The red-haired ghost squeezes our blood and sweat, and today I will take you to eat red-haired meat and drink red-haired blood!"
"Eat red meat and drink red blood!"
"Kill Hongmao and get freedom!"
"Kill!"
The rebel army set out in great force. As they approached Chican City, many Han people joined in, and the number was close to 10,000. There were even children aged 11 or 12, led by their mothers, who charged excitedly with wooden sticks.
.
Guo Huai pointed at Chikan City and said, "Fight with me!"
Chikan City has no city walls. It is an urban area where Han Chinese, indigenous people and Dutch immigrants gathered around the Chikan Tower (castle).
The rebel army was divided into three groups and rushed in from three directions.
In the Han-inhabited area, the rebels shouted with all their strength: "Han brothers, rebel quickly, kill the red hair, and get freedom!"
The Han people in some houses and shops were inspired by the rebels and took up arms to join the team. There were also many Han people hiding in their homes or shops, fearing that they would be involved. The natives living there were basically Dutch scoundrels. They
They wanted to enter the castle quickly, but the Dutch defenders refused to open the door and let them go back to face the Han people.
"Burn everything down, not a single house left!
Guo Huaiyi stood in an aboriginal area and pointed to the houses and shops there. The houses were inhabited by aborigines, but the shops were mostly owned by the Dutch and were usually managed by losers (including many Han losers).
In the blink of an eye, half of the city was on fire
The main pattern on the five-dollar New Taiwan Dollar is the Chihkan Tower, but that is what it looked like after Zheng Chenggong renovated it. The Chihkan Tower at this time was a typical European castle.
As for Relanjia City, where the Governor of Taiwan lives, it is a few miles west of Chikan Tower and is located on an offshore island. The terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
By this time, the Han rebel army had exceeded 12,000 people, and a large number of residents in the city participated in the uprising.
They surrounded Chichi Castle, removed wooden planks to make stairs, and began to try to attack the castle in the afternoon. Countless Han people carried wooden ladders and held simple weapons in their hands, and rushed towards the castle desperately.ъìＱυＧΕtＶ.℃ǒΜ
Inside the castle, there were only 106 Dutch defenders.
"boom!"
With the sound of a cannon, iron bullets hit the crowd, plowing out a path of flesh and blood. Nearly twenty rebels were either dead or maimed.
"Hard bang bang!"
Gunshots rang out again, and more than thirty rebels who rushed to the front fell immediately.
“Damn it, what year is this gunpowder?
"Those monkeys are coming!"
"Go and push the wooden ladder away!"
The Dutch defenders in the castle were now in chaos.
They received a report from the traitor last night, but they didn't take it seriously at all. They didn't even bother to check the gunpowder barrels. Some of the fire-assembly guns they used were moldy. The gunpowder in the gunpowder barrels was not just damp.
But the whole barrel of gunpowder is cemented together. As I said, the Dutch Army is just here to make fun of it.
Their military pay was so pitiful that they could not support themselves at all. They had to leave the castle and go to work in shops in the city to make a living. There were also many who returned to their old profession and extorted Han merchants every day and supported their families by working as local ruffians.
Historically, after Zheng Chenggong surrounded Chiqian Tower, more than a hundred defenders in the castle surrendered.
"The attack is coming, the attack is coming
"Quickly retreat!"
The rebels suffered more than a hundred casualties and finally captured the castle's outer fortifications. The Dutch defenders retreated further inside in panic.
Withdrawing and retreating turned into a rout, and they were almost completely wiped out by the rebels.
"we won!
"Long live, long live!"
The rebels cheered and Guo Huai and his men entered the castle and distributed the captured cold weapons to their cronies.
The news of the occupation of Chikan Tower was quickly spread around. That night, more Han people from nearby villages came to surrender. At dawn, the Dutch Governor of Taiwan was only a few miles away in Jelandze, and the traitors were received in advance. After reporting the news, the troops were dispatched only the next morning.
Taiwan Army Commander Dan Ker personally led 120 soldiers to kill them.
These Dutch Army troops are obviously more reliable than the defenders with red-walled buildings. At least, their muskets are not moldy, their gunpowder is not hardened and damp, and even their usual wages are higher.
They carried more artillery and 2,000 indigenous servants. The castle was too small to accommodate more than 10,000 rebels. As soon as Guo Huai detected the enemy's movements, he took the initiative to lead his troops to attack, and asked his brother to transform into a dragon to help lead the remaining troops in Erren. By the stream, a fierce battle broke out.
Although the Dutch Army only has 120 men, it carries more than ten artillery pieces, and every encounter is a bombardment.
There was no stereotype in the Tuyi tribe's charge. They were crowded together in a chaotic charge. More than ten artillery pieces concentrated their bombardment, and the tribe of more than 20 people was instantly dispersed.
The strength of the two sides is not equal,
The super-rebellion army had wisdom sticks, bamboo years, heads, and kitchen knives, but the Tupu army carried real weapons. Basically, the opponent also had hunting taxis. When Guo Huai saw that the situation was not good, if this continued, the entire army would definitely collapse. , he pulled out the waist knife he captured from the castle: "Follow me and capture the enemy's general!"
The two thousand people led by Guo Huaiyi were all young and strong.
They charged bravely towards Denker's main Dutch force, and they were not defeated even after a round of artillery fire.
"Bang, bang, bang, there was a burst of gunfire. Guo Huaiyi, who was charging forward, was unfortunately shot and fell to the ground.
"Brother Guo!
"Run quickly, the red-haired ghost's fire mirror is powerful!"
As a result, the main force of the rebel army collapsed. Most of the people turned around and fled. They relied on their passion for the uprising, but now they lost a few of Guo Huaiyi's cronies. They risked their lives to snatch the corpse and ran away carrying Guo Huaiyi's body.
"The whole army goes out to hunt down the rebels!"
Danker pulled out his command sword, got on his horse, and pursued him with the few cavalrymen.
Including Dankel, the Dutch had only four people on horseback. However, along the way they passed by, they killed dozens of defeated soldiers and captured more than a thousand rebels. The native servants also killed and captured the rebels. Wu Hua, the military guard, learned that he would pretend to be famous and ordered to defend the castle. He said to the rebels: Brother Guo has sent people to contact Longxia's army. As long as the Dutch army and indigenous troops are too few to surround the castle, he chose Surrounded by three and missing one.
"Boom boom boom boom!"
More than ten artillery pieces were directed at the castle, bombarding it from morning to evening.
Although the bombing could not collapse the city wall and did not cause any casualties to the rebels in the city, the morale of the rebels holding hoes plummeted.
Just when it was getting dark, Danker felt that the time was right and ordered the indigenous troops to attack the city.
The state castle that has been protected is guarded by fire troops and will become the main focus of the siege. However, the rebels have no weapons, not even cold weapons. When Li Jiang saw that a city wall was lost, Wu Hualong could only say: "Follow me."
Break out to the north!"
Countless rebels rushed towards the north gate frantically. In order to escape for their lives, they fought bravely one by one. The native servants were so frightened that they gave way.
Danker saw this and said with a smile: "Let them escape. After they all escape from the castle, they will not be desperate, but think about how to escape."
Therefore, the Dutch army and the indigenous army all stood aside and watched without taking action until most of the rebels escaped. Dankel said: "Pursue them with all their strength. Sure enough, after the rebels escaped from the castle, they completely lost their fighting courage and panicked."
Flee in a direction where there are no pursuers.
Wu Hualong tried to organize his troops to the rear, but no one listened to his more than 16,000 rebels. At this point in the battle, nearly 2,000 men were killed, more than 3,000 men were captured, and more than 5,000 women and children were killed or captured.
.
Danker ordered: "Keep the prisoners in good custody, kill all the leaders after questioning, and temporarily lock up the rest of the thugs."
The governor of Taiwan had not yet made up his mind and wanted to kill all the Han people. But Han people were needed to run the city and to grow food. The indigenous people were not as good as the Han people. They managed Wu Hualong and his remaining soldiers to escape successfully under the cover of night.
On the way, they encountered several groups of defeated troops, all of which collapsed following Guo Huaiyi's battle. The next morning, Wu Hualong counted the number of people and found that there were only more than 100 people left around him. Most of them were adult men, and only a few were women and children.
Everyone was hungry, crying and wailing. Wu Hualong could only comfort him and said: "Go north, there are officers and soldiers sent by your Majesty there. If we meet the officers and soldiers, we will be safe!*
At this moment, Li Dingguo was walking with anger. He sent someone to notify Guo Huaiyi, telling him not to mess around and wait until next year to join the Datong Army.
The battle plan of the Datong Army is to capture Relanzhe City and Chican City together. Sufficient food must be hoarded and Zheng Chengjia slowly besieges the city to regain Taiwan.
The siege lasted for nine months. It was not possible to build a strong fortress on the island with a large number of people. The navy and army had to cooperate with the naval battle. At this time, Tainan had four Dutch warships (armed merchant ships).
The largest is the Hector, which has a displacement of 650 tons and carries 27 iron cannons and 9 bronze cannons. Although the Taiwan Fleet of the Datong Navy has more than 30 warships, the largest one is only 400 tons, and it is Zheng Zhilong.
The warship built by Zhao Han, which was made of century-old oak and sold to the imperial court at a low price, will not be launched until at least next autumn, and it will be a good time to train with the Dutch.
However, the court's plan was disrupted by Guo Huaiyi's unauthorized actions.
Li Dingguo had no choice but to save them. He knew that the imperial court spent a huge amount of money and food every year on immigration. The number of Han people near Chican City was close to 20,000. As long as they could be saved, it would save the imperial court countless immigration expenses.
