The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

Chapter 177: Destiny is mine

   The Dutch fleet headed towards Taiwan Island in a zigzag pattern against the harsh northwest wind.

   This is a huge and forbidding fleet, with a total of 53 red-headed splints. It is by far the largest assembly of forces in Southeast Asia. The Dutch have never used so many warships before.

Out of the support of the two respectable Pete Poznan and Mr. Van Ross Mullen, they have watched the battle between Yan Changwu and Xu Xinsu, and they have also been to the Southeast Mansion to negotiate the redemption of the captured Dutch, and they have a great influence on the power of the Southeast Mansion. There is quite a bit of understanding.

   They are staying aboard the flagship "Prometheus", standing with the commander, Mr. Sonker.

  Sonker, originally from Amsterdam, is a very tall Dutchman with bright red hair and lush, looking like a red lion.

  He is a lucky guy. He was originally the commander (Governor) of the Holland Castle in Tainan. When he returned to Batavia, he took over Tainan by Yan Changwu, and he broke away.

But Taiwan feels too important to the Dutch because it leads to the "land of silver"—the country of Japan. The Spanish have a large amount of silver in the Americas. In the eyes of the Dutch, the country of Japan is the source of wealth. After getting the silver, the Dutch simply did not preach to please the Japanese. (The Dutch are Protestants and do not recognize the pope, while the Spanish and Portuguese offend the widows because they believe in the pope and the Pope ordered them to preach.)

   Unexpectedly, the South East Mansion was born, forcing all ships passing through the Fujian Sea and Taiwan to pay a transit fee of 2,000 silver dollars, which is really **** cutting of meat on the Dutch.

   I also heard that the southeast province is developing well, especially the sugarcane there, with high yield and excellent quality. The British underwrite the sales and make a lot of money. The Dutch are very jealous!

In theory, European countries such as Britain, France, Spain, the Netherlands, and Portugal have different operations in Asia. Britain focuses on developing India. Its strength is no more than the east of the Strait of Malacca. Now it has good relations with the Southeastern government and has expanded its power; France The power has not yet been invested in Asia; the Netherlands is full of Asia, focusing on the development of the Japanese and Batavia, the Spaniards occupy Luzon, the Portuguese have a foothold in China, Macau.

   White sugar is a big business. The British grow sugarcane in India and the Dutch in Batavia, but the natives are lazy and stupid, and they can’t grow a single piece of hair (this is inevitable, the Han people have a bonus for farming).

The Dutch want to rely on the local overseas Chinese, but the number is small (the Chinese travel to Nanyang would have a climax, that is, in the late Ming and early Qing, a large number of Han people who did not want to keep braids went down to Nanyang, but our lovely Yan Dashao rose up and would not take these The strength was given to Hongmaofan), but it could not be scaled up. The Southeast Prefecture was rich in white sugar, which turned the Southeast Prefecture into the sugar center of Asia.

   The Dutch want to take the Southeast House!

   With the advocacy of Mr. Pete Poznan and Mr. Van Ross Mullen, they believe that the Southeast Mansion must not be allowed to grow up, and that he must be strangled in the baby while he is still young!

The two gentlemen believe that although Yan Changwu of the Southeast Mansion is young, he has been acting steadily, developing the economy and the military steadily, and his strength has risen to a higher level in a year. With the people of the Southeast Mansion bowing to him, his strength is constantly improving. , In time, he will become a confidant not only for Holland, but for all red hair fans.

   When his power reached the Indian Ocean, the whole of Asia became his world!

   finally persuaded the Batavia authorities. They forced the Dutch captains who were as busy as worker bees to stop their business, assemble in Batavia, and finally made the trip.

  ……

   With a bang, the waves swept across the open deck of a smaller ship on the right front, and the whole ship was in the water!

   Songke saw this scene through the telescope and couldn't help cursing: "This **** weather!"

   The wind and waves on the sea in winter are not small, and then the wind direction is unfavorable. It is a good time to attack when the southeast wind blows in spring and summer.

   He looked at Pete Poznan with a bad gaze: "During the Spring Festival of the Ming people, they will gather together for the festival, so that we can wipe them out in one fell swoop?"

   "That's it!" Pete Poznan thought he was a great man, so he proposed this to use the Spring Festival to march.

   But he didn't expect Batavia to be like a leaky house. There are no secrets to keep. Mingren has already opened the net for a long time.

   "That's good!" Songke clenched his fists.

   He wants to annihilate the Mingren fleet and attack Taiwan. By then, he will be the Governor of Taiwan!

   is doing his best to become a big boss with millions of taels of silver.

   "Peng!" A beam of fireworks rose in the distance, and then a plume of smoke rose!

   The Dutch were stunned, and the commanders of the ships and the binoculars of the watchpoints looked to the north.

   In the waves, they finally found a sailing ship in the southeast province. The Foget ship raised a plume of smoke and kept a distance from the Dutch fleet, obviously leading the way for the existing fleet!

   Probably eight Foget Clippers were sent out to carry out reconnaissance missions. If enemy situation is found, they rely on lighting fireworks to signal the main fleet.

   "Damn it!" Pete Poznan said angrily, it seems that Southeast Mansion is prepared.

   "It's okay!" Songke said hard: "Everyone, let's finish the fight sooner!"

  ……

  The war is about to come, sentient beings are in various forms, some are nervous, some are open-minded, some are busy with work, and some pray to Mazu.

In the main cabin of the flagship "Southeast", Yan Changwu is playing Chinese chess leisurely with Mr. David. Speaking of which, the Southeast Fleet has a lot of chess and card games, except for the fifty-four poker cards~www.wuxiaspot .com~There are also Chinese chess, chess, go, flying chess, backgammon, arena chess, army chess... I can hardly imagine it.

   He plays chess, drinks tea, and eats snacks. He seems to be indifferent to the upcoming battle, although this battle may be related to the fate of the Southeast Mansion, his fate, and even the national fortune of China!

   "You don't seem to be worried at all?" Mr. David asked.

   "There's nothing to worry about, I'm sure to win!" Yan Changwu said lightly: "My destiny is with me!"

   Needless to say, Mr. David nodded, he believed the same.

   Then he said: "The Dutch sent someone to find me!"

"I know!"

"you know?"

   "Of course I know that the person looking for you was arrested by us after they left!" Yan Changwu bluntly said: "He confessed that you were not bought by him."

   "Are you watching me?"

"Of course!" Yan Changwu said indifferently: "The Intelligence Bureau monitors all senior officials. You are the subject of key surveillance. Many people think that I should not be like you (Mr. David took the initiative and said: "Hong Mao Fan") Red Mao Fan is too close, they are waiting for you to make a mistake, but fortunately you don't!"

   "It looks like you will succeed!" Mr. David admired authentically.

   The ruler can never trust anyone. Believing in others is tantamount to putting their fate in the hands of others, and others will not be polite to him!

   Yan Changwu did a good job at this point. He knows how to raise a dog for self-defense, and he doesn't engage in prison and implication, so that everyone can get along and he is safe.

   "I will definitely succeed!" Yan Changwu was not modest at all.

   "Report!" A servant officer said by the door.

   "Say it!"

   "We found the Dutch fleet!"
