Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

At this moment, Yao Qisheng stood in the back, his face full of anger, his eyes wide open, and he kept cursing: "You bunch of useless guys, you are all trash! You, you, and you, immediately take your men and go to the artillery camp to supervise the battle. If anyone dares to fear the battle at this time and dares not to step forward to kill the enemy, just chop off their heads!"

After hearing these words, the officers whose names were called could not help but tremble, and expressions of extreme fear appeared on their faces, as if the end of the world had come.

They knelt down immediately, their voices trembling as they begged, "Governor, please let us go! I have elderly parents and young children at home..."

Yao Qisheng looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but feel a raging anger in his heart.

He never expected that the soldiers under his command would be so cowardly that they even dared to disobey his orders.

He was so angry that he was shaking all over. He held the whip tightly in his hand and swung it hard at the officers kneeling on the ground, cursing as he whipped them: "A bunch of useless trash. I have raised you for nothing for so many years! You are just a bunch of good-for-nothings. You are not worthy of being soldiers at all..."

At this moment, Yao Qisheng had completely lost his calm and rationality, and became anxious and violent!

He knew what losing this war would mean, and he would bear the consequences alone.

This time, whether he would lose his official position or his life depended entirely on the thought of Emperor Kangxi.

……

Zhu Youli, commander of the Fujian Front of the Navy's Eastern Fleet, arranged three regiments of the Marine Brigade to board landing craft and successfully blockaded Xiamen Island.

At the same time, he personally led three regiments of the Coastal Defense Brigade, totaling more than 6,000 soldiers, and marched towards Fuzhou.

There was almost no resistance along the way, and the states and counties they passed through all hung white flags to indicate surrender.

That afternoon, the Tiandi Army successfully captured Fuzhou and issued an important order to all prefectures and counties in Fujian through the governor's office:

“To all counties and cities in Fujian: From today on, Fujian will be officially taken over by the Federation of Heaven and Earth and enter a special control period.

All officials, servants, and soldiers of the prefectures and counties must remain in their original positions, but must obey the command and dispatch of the Fujian Front Army of the Tiandi Army. Anyone who disobeys or pretends to obey will be executed immediately.

In addition, all states and counties need to make every effort to appease the people, prevent riots, resistance, looting and other incidents, and avoid a refugee crisis.

Fujian Front Command of the Tiandi Army

March 1, 1676 (February 2, the 16th year of the Kangxi reign)"

At this point, the entire Fujian province was occupied.

On the afternoon of March 1, the sun was shining brightly and the sea breeze was blowing gently. The huge army of 60,000 people from two divisions of the Tiandi Army had been transported to Keelung. The soldiers were in high spirits and morale.

The commander of the 1st Division, Xiao You, and the commander of the 2nd Division, Zhang Dabing, stood together, gazing into the distance with their sharp eyes.

"Man, this time we have to teach those red-haired devils a lesson!" Xiao You patted Zhang Dabing's shoulder, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

Zhang Dabing nodded. He knew that this battle was of great importance and he had to go all out.

"I'll go to Taipei and you go to New Taipei. How about we make a bet? Let's see who can drive the red-haired devils into the sea to feed the turtles before dark." Xiao You suggested with a smile.

"Okay, my Second Division is not afraid of you!" Zhang Dabing responded confidently.

"Then it's a deal. Let's bet one thousand and two taels of silver. Do you want to bet?" Xiao You looked at Zhang Dabing provocatively.

"Let's bet! Who's afraid of who?" Zhang Dabing showed no sign of weakness.

The two smiled at each other, their eyes full of fighting spirit and determination.

Subsequently, the two army field divisions quickly took action.

They followed different routes, one along the west coastline and the other along the east coastline, respectively advancing towards the south of Dongzhou Island.

Keelung is about 20 kilometers away from Taipei, and for a well-trained army, it only takes an hour's forced march to reach the destination.

Along the way, the soldiers maintained battle formation and searched forward with high vigilance.

When the troops arrived in Taipei, this area had not yet been fully developed and still retained its natural and pristine appearance.

The people living here are the Pingpu Ketagalan people who still live in a matriarchal clan system.

The Zheng Group mainly operates in the southwest coastal area of ​​Dongzhou Island. As for most parts of Dongzhou Island, they regard it as a barbaric place and do not get involved too much.

However, this made it easier for the Dutch to capture slaves all over the world and sell them to Europe and America.

They set their sights on the indigenous people of Dongzhou Island, trafficking in human beings and controlling the slave market in Asia.

The Dutch not only incorporated all the land on Dongzhou Island into their East India Company, calling it royal land, but also imposed heavy taxes of 70% of the harvest.

They also used force to force the indigenous people in the territory to hunt and fish for them, cut down precious trees, mine, etc.

Every time goods were transported to Europe and the United States, hundreds of natives would be captured on board and sold to Europe, the United States and other places.

During the march, the 1st Division would occasionally encounter some Dutch checkpoints. These checkpoints were as strong as bunkers. The soldiers inside were not only on guard, but also responsible for collecting rent, receiving goods and capturing slaves in the area.

Each outpost is a Dutch stronghold on Dongzhou Island, representing the Dutch sphere of influence and ruling status.

However, the Tiandi Army soldiers would certainly not sit idly by and watch the Dutch's bloody plundering on Dongzhou Island. They were well aware of the Dutch's brutality and were filled with anger and hatred towards these plunderers.

When they encountered the Dutch checkpoints, the Tiandi Army soldiers showed no mercy. They quickly set up their cannons, aimed at the target, and blasted the checkpoints flat. They killed the Dutch soldiers who were on the move and did not even take them as prisoners.

For the indigenous people who were oppressed by the Dutch, the Tiandi Army soldiers became their saviors, bringing hope and freedom to these natives.

For the Dutch on Dongzhou Island, the arrival of the Tiandi Army marked the end of their atrocities on Dongzhou Island.

The native locals were extremely afraid of the Tiandi Army at first. Whenever the troops marched, they would stay far away and dare not get close.

However, as time went on, the locals began to discover that there was something different about this huge army.

They noticed that when the army passed through the farmland, they were not harmed at all, did not cause any disturbance when they encountered the villages, and even did not arrest young and beautiful women when they saw them.

Not only that, every time we met the locals, they always waved and greeted us in a friendly manner.

When the locals found out that this force was specifically designed to deal with the red-haired devils (Dutch) and would not hesitate to wipe them out, the tribes were immediately in an uproar.
