Chapter 1025 Fujian Front, heavy troops gathered

(1025)

【Today's first update is delivered!】

When Zhang Zhun came to the coast of Fujian, it was already June of the 12th year of Chongzhen. At this time, the weather was already quite hot on the front line of Fujian. On the sea, the hot sun rose from the east and then set from the west. The scorching heat of the summer in the summer made everyone feel so hot that they seemed to be breathless. Someone walked to the beach and wanted to catch the sea water to cool down, but unfortunately found that the sea water was hot.

If it were normal, the residents of Fujian coastal areas had quietly hidden themselves to avoid the scorching sun. However, in June this year, the residents of Fujian coastal areas were very active. They were all running around and telling each other that Zhang Zhun had arrived in Fujian. Many people saw Zhang Zhun on the docks in Quanzhou.

In fact, Zhang Zhun did come to Fujian. Shortly after reaching a formal agreement with the Tokugawa shogunate, Zhang Zhun set off from Japan by boat. He first went back to Shandong to take care of government affairs, and went around various departments of the Great Governor's Office of the Hu Ben Army to solve some difficult and complicated problems. At night, he irrigated the fields in the harem and followed him to the south.

When Zhang Zhun arrived at the Fujian front at this time, he naturally wanted to form a Taiwan landing army. Of course, Zhang Zhun did not come by himself, and he also brought a large number of officers. These officers came to learn how to organize landing battles on the spot. In the days to come, the landing battles of the Hu Ben Army will increase.

The war in Japan has ended, and most of the main forces of the Hu Ben Army turned to Taiwan Island. Without Japan's constraints, the rear of the Hu Ben Army would be much safer. After the Hu Ben Army took over Japan, it basically included the Ryukyu Islands in its own control area. In other words, in the North Pacific region in northern Taiwan, it was the world of the Hu Ben Army Navy.

In the past, when the Huben Navy went south, they often had to worry about whether the Japanese would make trouble behind the scenes. Now, there is no need to worry anymore. On the contrary, when the Huben Army needed to fight, supplies could be transferred from Japan. At that time, Japan's grain output was relatively sufficient. After the war quelled, Japan's grain output gradually recovered.

Of course, when you go along the way, it is also very necessary to take the initiative to visit the brothers Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhihu, and Zheng Zhibao who have already put down their military power. This can fully demonstrate the policies of the Hu Ben Army and the benevolence and righteousness of the Hu Ben Army. In the hometown of the Zheng clan, Zhang Zhun had a friendly and friendly conversation with the three giants of the Zheng family.

In general, the relationship between the Hu Ben Navy and the Zheng family fleet has developed relatively smoothly. At the beginning, the two sides had several bloody conflicts due to the struggle for interests. However, in the face of the major issues against the Dutch, the Zheng family fleet still grasped the basic principles. If the three giants of the Zheng family surrendered to the Dutch and worked hard for the Dutch, it would be impossible to sit and talk to Zhang Zhun now.

For the three Zheng brothers, it was safe to get Zhang Zhun's face-to-face promise. What they feared most was that they took the initiative to put down their weapons and surrender, and the Hu Ben Army would come to settle the old accounts in the future. After all, no matter what, before, the Zheng family fleet and the Hu Ben Army Navy had many conflicts and had damage to each other. Hatred absolutely exists.

In addition, the fate of the two women Xue Zhidie and Xue Ningying is also a little related to the Zheng family fleet. Back then, subordinates of the Zheng family fleet sent people to chase and kill the two women of the Xue family. Fortunately, Zhang Zhun took action and rescued them.

Although, now, all the injustice has been revealed with the arrival of the Suzaku Legion of the Tiger Army, the truth has been revealed. Back then, the murderers who harmed Xue Zhidie's family have been brought to justice. The relevant criminals have been severely punished.

However, the Zheng family fleet participated in the action after all. They had to bear legal responsibility for collecting money and eliminating disasters for others. This is clearly listed in the "Da Ming Law", and the laws of the Hu Ben Army are not to mention. In the future, Xue Zhidie and others, who have a noble status, remember to avenge their fathers, and say a few words, their Zheng family will be a group of ants that were pinched to death by others.

Fortunately, they had already received a solemn written promise from Zhang Zhun. Zhang Zhun announced in his personal name that he would never pursue any crimes committed by the Zheng family fleet ten years ago in the future. This written promise finally made the Zheng family feel at ease. The three of them felt at ease, and the other sailors felt even more at ease.

The original Zheng family fleet sailors have now basically become sailors of the Hu Ben Navy. At this time, several ports such as Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, and Fuzhou on the coast of Fujian were very lively. A large number of Hu Ben Army warships were coming and going here and shuttled back and forth. Among them, the most eye-catching one was naturally the super-large Dragon God Ship.

In March, the Hu Ben Navy had another thirty Dragon God Ship, which greatly improved the strength of the Hu Ben Navy. In April, fifty sword-tooth Ship was launched. The launch of a large number of ships allowed the strength of the Hu Ben Navy to make a qualitative leap. At this time, if the Hu Ben Navy came out in full swing, even if it encountered the main Dutch fleet, it would be possible to fight.

In order to make the navy's actions more effective and flexible, Zhang Zhun decided to add the fourth fleet of the Tiger Ben Army Navy. The fourth fleet consists of fifteen Dragon God Ships and fifty Sword Tooth Ship. The commander of the Fourth Fleet Fleet, led by Huang Shijun, who performed well.

The home port of the First Navy Fleet is located in Quanzhou, Fujian. Nearby Zhangzhou, Fuzhou, Kinmen, Penghu and other places are all controlled by the Hu Ben Army Navy. After taking over Taiwan Island, Taiwan Island will also be the waters controlled by the Fourth Fleet.

Of course, the strategy of attacking Taiwan cannot be completed by the Fourth Fleet. Relying on a fleet alone to solve the problem of Taiwan Island is probably not enough. Fortunately, after solving the Japanese war situation, all the fleets of the Tiger Ben Navy have been freed up to be prepared to attack the enemy fiercely.

The situation in Taiwan has been basically understood. The Dutch troops stationed in Taiwan were about 1,000 musketeers and more than 50 large warships. The Dutch built several fortresses and fortresses on the island of Taiwan. Among them, the largest land base is Jilong Port (i.e. Keelung Port) and other places in the south.

The Dutch have always lacked army, and this time is no exception. In Jilong Port, the Dutch musketeers were only about one thousand. If the Dutch wanted to defend the city, they had to count all the naval sailors. However, once a large number of naval sailors were drawn, the Dutch navy would not work again.

In South Asia, the situation of the Dutch was basically clear. Due to the obstruction of the Spanish, the Dutch's main fleet did not go north. However, once Samoa (Taiwan) is involved, it is indeed an unknown whether the Dutch will continue to endure it.

For the Dutch, Samoa is a very important stronghold. In order to control Samoa, the Dutch took many measures, including a cunning story of the size of a cowhide that year. After the arrival of Samoa Governor Putman, he even further built forts and fortresses in Taiwan, desperately expanding his territory.

Zhang Zhun estimated that once the Hu Ben army attacked Taiwan, the Dutch would definitely not give up. The Dutch's main fleet had a chance of going north to more than 90%. However, the Hu Ben army was full of confidence in capturing Taiwan.

By June, the Hu Ben Army had a professional Marine Corps. This was composed of three Marine Battalions. One was the Shark Battalion, one was the Sword Fish Battalion, and the other was the Catfish Battalion. As long as the Hu Ben Army Navy blocked the Dutch's main fleet, the three Marine Battalions could swagger to the Taiwan Island.

The biggest difficulty in landing actually comes from the sea. As long as there is no blocking of enemy warships, the sea will be unobstructed. Nowadays, without the shock of the air force, as long as it is a ship, it can go to sea smoothly. Of course, except for a big storm.

It takes only two days to reach Taiwan Island from the coast of Fujian. Basically, the distance is much closer than the transportation from North Korea's Busan Port to Japan's Hiroshima. The area where the Hu Ben Army can land on Taiwan Island is also very wide. In other words, there shouldn't be too many opportunities for the Dutch to do things.

After the Hu Ben Army occupied Fujian, there was another great benefit, that is, the resources of the entire province of Fujian and even the surrounding provinces could be mobilized to prevent the attack of the main Dutch Navy fleet as much as possible. Even in the Taiwan Strait, the remaining ships of the Zheng family fleet could go to sea.

In other words, the Hu Ben Navy was also fighting on its own ground this time. Even if it was fighting with the Dutch Navy, it would be temporarily able to fight on the seas of East Asia. Once the main Dutch fleet was gone, the first one to attack would definitely be the Spanish. It would be quite difficult for the other Dutch warships to come from far away Europe to Asia! In order to curb the power of the Spanish, the Dutch *** would not dare to pay too much.

"Hello everyone!"

"Thank you all!"

"Sweet and cool watermelon!"

In the scorching sun, Zhang Zhun, accompanied by a group of officers, went to various camps of the Hu Ben Army and greeted all the soldiers. In such a hot weather, what is the most enjoyable thing to eat? Of course it is a big watermelon. The logistics department has brought a large number of red-sacked watermelons from somewhere, and rewarded the soldiers for a summer.

"Zhang Zhun, when will you fulfill what you promised me?"

Suddenly, someone asked angry.

Needless to say, I know that Saiviara, who is like a sugar-sick bean, has arrived.
Chapter completed!
