The maritime power of the club is no match for the Dutch. This is the judgment of the strength of both sides by the senior members of the club, including Li Mingxun. In the eyes of most senior members, this war will turn into a war of attrition. When the naval battle fails, the Dutch will be besieged Budai Port and land on the shore, and then run bloody on the fortress, fortress and elite soldiers in the base camp. In the long-term destruction, the fortress falls or the Dutch retreats. The former means that the club's foundation in Taiwan is completely lost, and the latter is also a miserable victory. The most important shipyards, sugar farms, salt fields and other industries in the society will be lost. More than half of the efforts in the past two years have been gone.

Before the meeting, Lin Cheng had received private messages from several senior executives, asking Lin Cheng to join forces with everyone, prompting Li Mingxun to leave Taiwan and go to Jiangnan, Hong Kong and even Vladivostok to avoid this war. Everyone firmly believes that as long as the shopkeeper is alive, the club can make a comeback, but the road to rise will be delayed for a few years.

Everyone looked at each other for Li Mingxun's firm determination. Lin Cheng coughed lightly and said, "Big Shopkeeper, how can we take the lead and raid the Dayuan Port?"

"No, absolutely not. The intelligence sent back by the reconnaissance ships we sent was under martial law. Perhaps everyone doesn't know that the port of Dayuan is not an excellent port, or even worse than our Budai Port. The 400-ton ships cannot enter the inland sea even if the tide is tide. Therefore, many Forlut ships parked outside the port, while the small Aharat entered the inland sea. With the combination of several fortresses in Dayuan Port, our raid can at most destroy several ships, and neither destroy the port nor completely wipe out the current maritime power of the Dutch." Simmons was the first to object without waiting for Li Mingxun's answer.

"What should I do? I can't wait to die. It's good to destroy the Red-Farewell Ship, at least it can weaken their power."

"It's very difficult. The Red-Fao Yi has been on the sea for many years. We don't know much about the hydrological conditions of the senior officials. Now it's the peak period for returning to the voyage. How can it be so easy to successfully attack?"

Everyone argued for a while, and each had their own opinions. In the end, Li Mingxun knocked on the table and said, "Everyone, there is no doubt that the outcome of island operations is determined by maritime forces, but it does not mean that the battlefield on land is irrelevant. No matter how powerful the warships are, soldiers need to occupy the port."

Simmons nodded, and Li Mingxun continued, "From the intelligence, the Dutchman of the senior officials received assistance from the return-ridden merchant ships voyage from Nagasaki, but did not mobilize the land power of Batavia. I don't know why, it may be that the enemy thinks we are vulnerable, or for other reasons, but the fact is that compared with our land power, the enemy's army is stretched. What will happen if we take the lead and consume part of the enemy's army?"

As Li Mingxun said, the army of the club is not weak, and those directly belong to the club are guards. The garrison also recruited the army from Qi Liemi, Sauron and the native natives of Taiwan, with a total of more than 2,000 troops. Huweilong Society also has 1,000 troops. If they defend the port, they can recruit a lot of firearms and medicines from Ding Zhuang, and their strength is also sufficient, with a slight advantage over the Dutch. The main force of the Dutch came from the conquered indigenous villages of the seniors. If they were expeditioned to Budai Port, they would still have to scatter their troops and stay.

"If we can take the lead, severely damage the Dutch and show our troops, then the Netherlands must reconsider the war against us. After all, even if they win the victory at sea, they do not have sufficient troops to capture our ports and castles. In this case, we must re-measure whether the war will begin this year. After all, they cannot allow merchant ships full of cargo to perform a long blockade mission." Simmons said directly.

Li Mingxun agrees very much with this. Although the Dutch East India Company is an organization with national functions, it is essentially a commercial organization. Chasing profits is the fundamental purpose of the seventeen gentlemen and employees of the Netherlands. The entire East is the East Indies Committee. In addition to the governor, Batavia also has seven members with voting rights, including the Director-General, the Secretary-General, the Secretary-General, the Chairman of the Parliament. There are larger management agencies in various colonies and shopping malls. The larger the management agencies, the more bureaucracy is obvious. This time, Chunis's action essentially combines a war launched by the local forces in Taiwan and the maritime forces of the Nagasaki shopping mall, and the two regions involved are the two largest profit points of the East India Company.

Taiwan and Nagasaki are not only the biggest profit points, but also indispensable. The Ming goods purchased by Taiwan and the sugar produced are the main goods on the return merchant ships, while Japan is the main source of precious metals such as gold, silver and copper of the East India Company. Not to mention the losses, even if it is a few months late, it will affect the monsoon trade next spring. These captains and sailors are more urgent than the top leaders of Batavia. After all, they can only reward merit when they transport things back.

Therefore, Li Mingxun knew very well that the war led by Chunis was a quick battle and a quick decision and had to control the casualty rate. When he found that the war was delayed and would cause great casualties, he had to reconsider the next action.

Li Mingxun suddenly smashed his fist on the teak table and said solemnly, "Everyone, it's time to show our strength to the Dutch!"

Dayuan Port.

There was a constant clang on the dock. After a chaos, the team led by Lieutenant Magel walked to the shore. They walked under the shade of the trees to rest and waited for reinforcements from the Newport Club. There were only seventy people in this team, fifty of whom were equipped with a comb, while the other two were wearing lobster tail helmets, half-life armor, and spears.

Seeing that everyone was here, Magel's voice interrupted the noise of the soldiers' fighting. He whispered loudly, "Three days of choking, we were attacked at the school of Madou Club. Both the Dutch teachers and pastors were killed. The natives who converted to Christianity were also cut off their heads. The noble Chief Executive, Lord Chunis, ordered me to go to conquer. We will kill three hundred people of Madou Club in revenge. The three hundred natives of Newport Club are now reaffirming the discipline, hold on to your weapons, and don't let anyone touch them!"

Magel's words caused a clamor for the soldiers. Some veterans had heard some legends from previous garrisons that most of the Madou Club were related to tragedy and revenge. At that time, it was the Madou Club who carried guns for the soldiers when Dutch soldiers crossed the river, and then the soldiers who had no weapons were pressed into the water and drowned.

At this time, the indigenous people of the Newport Association arrived, with a total of 300 people, most of whom held spears and steel knives. As the most loyal indigenous village community of the Dutch, they could get more iron tools, which gave the equipment of this group of Newport warriors a huge advantage over other indigenous peoples.

Madou Club is located fifteen kilometers northeast of Dayuangang, which has exceeded the core controlled area of ​​the Dutch. After passing through the Han sugarcane fields, he saw the wild grasslands all over the mountains. Magel asked the indigenous people of the Xingang Club to walk in front, while he placed the spearmen on both sides, ready to deal with the enemies who jumped out of the grass at any time. However, the expected attack did not happen and soon entered the harvested paddy fields. The village of Madou Club was faintly visible.

Madou Club was originally a large village club in Tainan area with a population of nearly 10,000, but it was also the village club that the Dutch conquered most frequently. At first, it killed hundreds of people on the pretext of searching for Han pirates. Then, due to taxation, sugarcane encroachment on rations, etc., many of the houses in Madou Club were burned down, and many natives fled, and now there are only three or four thousand people.

Magel looked at the empty village and did not enter rashly, but personally brought several people and more than 20 natives to investigate. He saw the muddy roads in the village, the empty granaries and houses. He could not find an iron tool or other valuable things in the village. Only dozens of heads hung on the grass valley farm were very ferocious. Magel's men lit several houses, but they did not find a single person, or even saw chickens, dogs and livestock.

It seems that the Madou Club has moved away as a whole, but where can it be moved? Although they have harvested rice, there are no houses and dry firewood, many people will die, not to mention that there are many cruel high-altitude barbarians in the distance.

"The smell here is not right, I feel very dangerous." Magel became more and more nervous as he watched a large number of Newport people pour into the village community to search for valuable things, and his soldiers also joined in it.

"Peter, remove the priest and teacher's heads, and we immediately evacuate the village and build a campground in the highlands over there." Magel shouted loudly.

Peter was a mixed blood of the Dutch and the natives of Newport. He had a dexterous skill. He and several soldiers climbed up the tall trees in the threshing ground with ladders and picked the heads hanging on them. While Magel was nervously alert, a dull voice came from behind him. He looked back and saw that as Peter climbed the big tree, the soldiers who fell to the ground, a feather arrow was inserted into his neck. The arrow made of flint passed through his throat, gurgling blood, and soon lost his livelihood.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" Magel immediately lowered his head, pulled Peter who had jumped from the tree, and ran into the school beside him.

Things kept shooting out in the woods outside the village, flint arrows, stone bullets shot from stone throwing ropes, and various spears of different sizes. Magel shouted loudly, ordering his soldiers and Newport people to enter the school to hide. This was the only stone building in the village, and there was a one-person-high wall.

Most people escaped into the school, and only a few idiots returned the same way. I don’t think there would be any good results, but those who entered the school were very scared. Some Newport people even collapsed on the ground. Magel kicked the man and scolded, “Idiots, they are just barbarians, what are you afraid of?”

"Hey, the warrior of Madou Club, I am Magel, the messenger sent by the local conference to solve the murder of the priest and the teacher. As long as you hand over the murderer, we can leave it alone." Magel shouted loudly into the jungle.

Everyone was quiet, and figures flashed from time to time in the woods, and soon a voice came, "You group of red-haired Yi, everyone is going to die here today!"

Magel carefully observed. He took the telescope from Peter and saw clearly the native appearance. He was tall and thin, wearing a deer antler helmet, a flint spear, and an iron dagger. His upper body was wearing animal skin, but his pants were made of cotton. His voice was low and hoarse.

"Do you know that person?" asked Magel, who had captured the leader of the Newport Club.

The leader glanced at him and said, "That's Sammy, the leader of the Madou Club. He attended a local meeting with me and met him two months ago."

Magel nodded slightly, but he still felt something was wrong. Listening quietly, there were constant sounds from the woods, and there were still people angrily scolding each other in a low number. There were birds in the depths of the woods, and obviously there were people lying in the distance. Magel said, "The people from Madou Club are luring us into the jungle, and Sammy is going to ambush us."

The leader of the Xingang Club said, "It's impossible. The Madou Club can only collect seven or eight hundred knots now. It can be called a warrior for less than three hundred. Can we ambush us?"

Magel naturally knew the strength of Madou Club, otherwise he would not have brought these people to come. He thought for a moment and said, "Madou Club may not be the only one."

"What should I do? Let's evacuate quickly." The Newport people said in fear.

Magel shook his head, "It seems that the Madou Club has been planning for a long time. When we retreat at this time, we are likely to encounter an attack. The winner is unpredictable in the wilderness. The best thing now is to stick to the support."

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to deliver the message immediately." The leader said.

Magel grabbed his arm and said, "Don't panic, even if you send a message, you must know the real situation here and how many enemies there are."

After saying that, Magel recruited several swift soldiers, distributed flints and oil, and ordered them to burn houses in the village. Soon, most of the village was ignited, and there was also an unsettling sound of trumpets in the woods outside the village. As the woods were in chaos, more and more people came out.

The indigenous formation spread nearly two miles and surrounded the school. The original green vision was suddenly filled with many mixed colors. The indigenous people had no formation at all, one by one, each with totems raised by a long pole, with four branches. After the totem, the indigenous barbarians armed with deer antler spear, stone axe and stone-capping ropes. They swept into the waves, with a total of two thousand people. In the middle, they could still recognize the people from the Madou Club. The rest could not distinguish between men and women, rough leather jackets and fluffy hair, like a group of savages.

"These are not people from Madou Club, and there are not so many Ding Zhuang in Madou Club." The leader of Xingang Club exclaimed.

Magel smiled coldly, "This is a Gaoshan Barbarian. The Madou Society has joined forces with the Gaoshan Barbarians. This is a premeditated attack."
