The Dutch were the first to occupy Kinmen, but were later driven away by the Ming Dynasty navy. The Ming army was unable to destroy the Dutch army, so it retreated and ordered the Dutch army to be stationed in Taiwan. The Netherlands tried to return to Kinmen many times but failed, so they had no choice but to build a city in Taiwan. The Netherlands would rather stay in the tiny Kinmen than go to Taiwan. The Ming Dynasty regarded Taiwan as dirt but refused to let the Dutch army go to Kinmen. This shows the desolation of Taiwan.
After Zheng Chenggong regained Taiwan, all his elite soldiers died due to the unsuitable climate and soil. Taiwan's army was all newly recruited local soldiers, and given the desolation of Taiwan, the number of troops was not much larger. The Tiandihui was mainly composed of Zheng Chenggong's soldiers who stayed on the mainland after Zheng Chenggong returned to Taiwan. There were tens of thousands of people in total, and most of them were veterans of hundreds of battles who had followed Zheng Chenggong for many years.
Judging from the quantity and quality of the army, I am afraid that Taiwan's army may not be comparable to the Tiandihui. Judging from the amount of money and food obtained by both parties, the gap between the two sides is even greater. After all, the Zheng family will stay in Taiwan, a land of barbarians, while Tiandi will stay in the mainland, a prosperous land. From this point of view, the strength of the Tiandihui may have surpassed that of the Zheng family in Taiwan. The Zheng family asked the Tiandi Society to send a large amount of money and food to Taiwan. First, Taiwan was indeed in financial difficulty, and secondly, it also had an attempt to limit the strength of the Tiandi Society.
The more Xiang Yan thought about it, the more reasonable he felt, and asked, "Then how can we invite the Fifth Prince Zhu to ascend the throne?" Chen Jinnan said: "When Taiwan is fully prepared, send troops to Fujian and Zhejiang, go north to Jinling, and then invite the Fifth Prince Zhu to ascend the throne." Xiang Yan asked, "When will Taiwan be ready?" Chen Jinnan lowered his head and said nothing.
Xiang Yan refused to give up and asked again: "Can't you just leave Taiwan alone and keep the money and food for yourself?" Chen Jinnan's expression changed and he shouted sternly: "Everyone in the Heaven and Earth Society has been deeply benefactored by the surnamed Guo. How can we betray him?" Is the prince an ungrateful villain? Mr. Xiang, I respect you as a righteous man who fought against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty. I won’t argue with you this time. If you dare to say such things next time, don’t blame me for being rude to you. "
Xiang Yan was silent. Just now, he was telling Chen Yuanyuan that Wu Sangui could not forcefully surrender to the Qing Dynasty against the common will of his generals, but now he had forgotten it. With so many people in the Tiandi Society, how could a mere Chen Jinnan be able to cover the sky with one hand? If Chen Jinnan had to go his own way against the common will of his subordinates, the Tiandi Association would have either disbanded or rebelled long ago.
Besides, among the hall masters of the Tiandihui, except for Wei Xiaobao, the other hall masters are all old subordinates of Zheng Chenggong, and they deeply feel Zheng Chenggong's great kindness. Even Wei Xiaobao's men were all old men who had fought with Zheng Chenggong for many years. If Chen Jinnan proposed that Taiwan would be independent and Heaven and Earth would stand on their own, I am afraid that everyone in the Heaven and Earth Association would first chop Chen Jinnan into pieces and then take his head to Taiwan to meet the Zheng family.
Suddenly, I heard Mr. Zheng shouting loudly from behind: "What next time? This man provokes rebellion in the world, and his heart is to be punished. Chen Jinnan, kill him immediately."
Xiang Yan was startled, and when he looked back, he saw the angry-faced Mr. Zheng not far behind him. It seemed that he had heard what he and Chen Jinnan just said. Looking at Aqi again, he saw Aqi smiling evilly at him. Xiang Yan's heart suddenly turned cold. As expected, Aqi, this little girl, had persuaded Mr. Zheng to kill me.
Chen Jinnan said: "Second Young Master, although Xiang Shaoxia's words are offensive, he has also plotted to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty! Second Young Master, please bear with me."
Xiang Yan felt at ease, and Chen Jinnan was indeed interceding on his behalf. At this time, Xiang Yan secretly prayed in his heart: "Chen Jinnan, you must withstand Master Zheng's pressure and save my life!"
Mr. Zheng said angrily: "Chen Jinnan, by shielding this person, do you want to betray me, the Zheng family, to be independent?" Chen Jinnan said hurriedly: "Second Young Master, my subordinates have always been loyal..." Before he could finish his words, a long sword pierced Chen Jinnan. body, the bloody sword tip had passed through Chen Jinnan's chest. It turns out that Master Feng sneaked around behind Chen Jinnan, took advantage of Chen Jinnan's unpreparedness, and made a secret move to assassinate Chen Jinnan.
Xiang Yan was shocked: "Chen Jinnan died like this? If he is going to die, who can save my life under Mr. Zheng?"
Master Feng plotted against Chen Jinnan, everyone was shocked. Immediately afterwards, everyone in the Tiandihui shouted: "This evil man killed the chief helmsman. Let's fight with him to avenge the chief helmsman!" Everyone rushed towards Mr. Zheng and Master Feng. Mr. Zheng turned around, turned his back to Xiang Yan, took two steps back, and shouted: "Heaven and earth will rebel. Master Feng, kill all these rebels." Master Feng held a long sword and took action together with Mr. Zheng's other men. Mingle with the people of Tiandihui.
Hope ignited in Xiang Yan's heart: "There are ten people in the Tiandihui, and Mr. Zheng's men, including Master Feng, are only four. If the people in the Tiandihui can kill Mr. Zheng with their superiority in numbers, they can kill Mr. Zheng." I survived, after all, the people from the Tiandihui have no reason to kill me."
Unexpectedly, Master Feng was very skilled in martial arts and rushed back and forth among the people in the Tiandi Club like a tiger rushing into a flock of sheep. Not long after, everyone in the Heaven and Earth Society was killed.
Xiang Yan looked at the dying Chen Jinnan and the majestic Master Feng, and his heart was full of despair: "Master Feng's martial arts is actually so high? Everyone in the Tiandihui tried their best, but they could only kill three other men of Mr. Zheng. Master Feng He wasn't even injured. With this kind of skill, even if Shuang'er and Shu'er join forces, they should be no match. Now that Mr. Zheng wants to kill me, who else on the entire island can save me." Looking at Aqi, Aqi He was smiling triumphantly at Xiang Yan.
Xiang Yan was so angry that he felt fierce in his heart: "We originally had no grudges, but you want to kill me because you want to please the beauty. Since you won't let me live, then you don't want to live either, let's all die together! Xiang Yan took out the dagger he had hidden in his boot and stabbed Mr. Zheng in the back of his heart with grief.
Chen Jinnan, who was still alive, shouted: "Second Young Master!" He glared at Xiang Yan angrily, pointed at Xiang Yan and said: "You..." He refused to close his eyes. With tears in her pretty eyes, A Ke shouted, "Mr. Zheng," picked up a knife dropped by the Qing soldiers on the ground, and rushed towards Yan Chong with Master Feng. Aqi also picked up the weapon and followed Ake towards Yansha.
Shuang'er and Yan Shu picked up the knives, intercepted Master Feng, and slashed at Master Feng twice. Master Feng stretched out his sword to block Shuang'er and Yan Shu's attacks, then flew up with two kicks and kicked the two women down. Sister Quan suddenly rushed towards the last boat in the sea. Master Feng cursed, abandoned Xiang Yan and chased after Sister Quan.
Akko and Aqi ignored it and continued to move towards Yansha. Xiangyan's Dantian is getting swollen and his body is getting heavier, but people always have the illusion of floating upward. This strong contrast makes people very uncomfortable and makes them want to vomit blood.
Xiang Yan's own kung fu was inferior to the two women's, and his body was very uncomfortable. He couldn't resist the two women's combined attacks, and was hit repeatedly. Fortunately, the quality of the treasure clothes Suo'etu gave Xiangyan was of good quality and there were no injuries. Aqi said: "There is something weird about him, stab him in the eye." Ake said: "Yes." The two women stabbed Xiangyan in the eye with all their moves, Xiangyan defended desperately, and everything was in danger for a while.
A Qi was impatient and suddenly changed his moves and slashed at Xiang Yan's leg. Xiang Yan was caught off guard and was hit by A Qi's knife. He fell to the ground and lamented in his heart: "I still can't survive today. I didn't expect that I didn't die in Mr. Zheng's death." In the hands of his subordinates, he was killed by these two little bitches."
Akko and Aqi slashed at Yan's neck with their knives again. This time, Xiang Yan was at the end of his rope and unable to resist. Suddenly, Xiang Yan's body floated upwards, just avoiding the two women's knives slashing at Xiang Yan. Xiang Yan glanced reluctantly at Yan Shu, who was struggling to get up and running towards him crying, then secretly glanced at Chen Yuanyuan, his vision went dark, and he fainted.
