"The city of Relanzha is strong, and it is located on the narrow Daguang Island, so the troops cannot be deployed at all.
If we want to attack by force, it will take a long time, and the casualties of your men, Lord Duke, will be heavy.
However, the common people had a plan that could help the Duke reduce his losses and capture the city of Relanja quickly. " He Bin rolled his eyes as he spoke, looking at Chen Yue eagerly.
"As long as you can help our army capture the city of Relanja, our army will not touch the land and wealth you currently own, and I will promise you a seventh-grade future."
Chen Yue knew that he wanted his promise, so he said.
"Master Xie Guo" He Bin was overjoyed.
He didn't care whether he was an official or not.
If he returned to Zheng Zhilong's subordinates, it wouldn't be a problem to become a thousand-household guerrilla or something like that.
What really makes him unable to let go is the land wealth he currently owns.
With Chen Yue's promise, everything he owns now is guaranteed.
And with this relationship with Qi Guogong, basically no one on Dongfan Island will dare to provoke him in the future.
"The Dutch have 1,200 soldiers on the island.
Of course, the army led by Governor Caron was defeated by the Duke.
There are still more than 400 soldiers on the island.
But in addition to the soldiers, the Dutch still have more than 2,000 soldiers.
Family craftsmen.
The castle in Jelanja is so narrow that life is inconvenient.
Most of the Dutch family craftsmen live on the mainland on the east side of the Taijiang River.
There is a street called "Provencha Street" there, which is where the Dutch live, and it is close to the city of Jelanja.
Challan City stands east to west, but Provencha Street is just a street.
The Dutch did not build a castle there and there were not many defensive facilities.
The Duke of Guo led the army to attack suddenly without many clues in advance.
The Dutch and even the entire Dayuan area did not expect it in advance.
Even if Governor Caron is defeated and you bombard the city of Jelandja, the Dutch do not think you can easily break into the Taijiang River.
So before we came to negotiate, most Dutch people still lived in Provencha Street, and not many people hid in the city of Jelandja.
Of course, their reluctance to part with the wealth on Provenza Street was also one of the reasons why they did not hide in the city of Relancia.
After entering the Taijiang inland sea from the Luermen Channel at night, the Duke of Guo You can order the army to land at Heliao Port, and at the same time send an army to land at the connection between Dayuan Island and the mainland to cut off the Dutch's retreat.
As long as the Dutch on Provenza Street can be captured, they are all the family members of the Dutch soldiers, and the city of Geranje will be destroyed without any attack."
He Bin's tone was cold.
He kidnapped the Dutch family members and forced the Dutch soldiers to surrender.
This was a desperate plan that he suddenly came up with.
Although it was too insidious and shameless, for the sake of his family's wealth and life, he couldn't care less.
After He Bin finished speaking, everyone present looked at each other.
The plan was a good one, but it was too despicable and insidious.
"My lord, this is a bit too shameless.
Our Zhoushan Army is a force of benevolence and righteousness, and we would do such a thing," Yang Zhengping said hesitantly.
"I think it's okay, benevolence and righteousness.
Our benevolence and righteousness are towards the people of the Ming Dynasty.
The red-haired ghost traveled thousands of miles to come to the Ming Dynasty, rob my merchant ships, and enslave my people.
Why should we restrain ourselves with benevolence and righteousness towards them?"
Supervisor He Lu didn't think so.
Yang Zhengping is too upright, Chen Yue sighed in his heart.
Capturing Dutch civilians and using them to force the Dutch defenders of Relanje City to surrender, as long as the casualties of their men can be reduced, as long as they can quickly capture Relanje City and completely control Dongfan Island, such a thing is very important to Chen Yue No psychological burden.
"Just do what He Bin suggested.
We will take advantage of the tide to pass through Luermen Port tonight, land at Heliao Port, and arrest all the Dutch in Provencha Street," Chen Yue said resolutely.

Chen Yue made up his mind and no one else said anything.
Next, start discussing and laying out an action plan.
Because we don’t know if we can capture the city of Relanja quickly.
After entering the Taijiang Inland Sea, the Luermen Channel is the only channel connecting the inside and outside, so we must send troops to garrison.
The landing location must also be carefully considered, taking into account the depth of the water level and whether it is suitable for large ships to dock.
But with He Bin, who is familiar with the inland sea of Taijiang, all this is not a problem.
According to He Bin, the water level in Heliao Port is not deep.
Small boats can dock from the harbor, but large ships such as three-masted sailing ships and Galen ships cannot.
Therefore, the soldiers on board have to transfer from the big ships to small boats, and then transfer from Heliao to Heliao.
Go ashore.
However, there is no port at all at the connection between Damuan Island and the mainland.
Larger ships will be stranded.
You can only take a small boat and then wade ashore in the sea.
Three-masted sea-going ships and galenic ships.
Every large sea-going ship has several small boats for escape, but there is no shortage of small boats.
A total of 8,000 soldiers followed Chen Yue on the expedition, and 1,000 stayed in Beigang to assist Gu Junen in controlling Beigang.
A total of 7,000 soldiers followed him, most of them were recruits who had just been recruited for half a year and did not have much combat experience.
This was another reason why Chen Yue decided to adopt He Bin's strategy.
Because if they really want to attack the Rechelan Castle, even if the Dutch only have 400 troops, they may not be able to win even if they use all 7,000 soldiers.
Chen Yue decided that Jin Xin would lead a thousand men and more than 20 two-masted and single-masted ships to guard the Luermen Channel, and while guarding the army's retreat route, he would occupy the land on the north side of the channel.
On Dongfan Island, there are not only Dutch people, but also numerous villages composed of aboriginal people, as well as Ming villages that immigrated from Fujian and Guangdong.
There are probably more than 20,000 Ming people on the entire Dongfan Island.
The more than 100,000 mentioned above is a bit too much.
It is not in line with the actual situation.
The aborigines cannot count because many people are scattered all over the island, on the plains and on the mountains.
Roughly speaking, It is estimated that there are at least 100,000 people.
Taking into account the history of Zheng Chenggong's attack on the Dutch in another time and space, Chen Yue had to prepare for the worst, that is, he would be unable to capture the city of Relanja.
In that case, the supplies brought with the army would become a problem, so Dongfan Island must be obtained The people of Ming Dynasty even have the support of the indigenous people.
While Jin Xin was guarding the Luermen Sea Channel, he also wanted to occupy the nearby Ming and Aboriginal villages and establish his rule over these places.
After Chen Yue decided to enter the inland sea of the Taijiang River, Li Yi led a thousand people in small boats to land at the connection between Dayuan Island and the mainland, and established a blocking position.
First, it cut off the escape route of Dutch civilians fleeing to the Castle of Relanja; Prevent the Castle of Geranze from sending troops to rescue.
Chen Yue himself led 3,000 troops to land at Heliao Port and attack Provencha Street where the Dutch lived.
Yang Zhengping took two thousand people on a large ship to deal with the only two remaining warships of the Dutch.
At the same time, he bombarded the city of Relanje from the inside of the Taijiang River and put pressure on the castle.
Orders were issued one after another, and the generals took orders and made preparations before going out.
Except for the soldiers on guard, most of the soldiers were lying in the cabins to rest, waiting for the upcoming battle.
Everything is ready, just waiting for the night tide
