Chapter 1016 Desperate sailing speed!
Just when Zhu Zilong's younger brothers were stationed in Western countries, doing business and being killers.
The good news missions came one by one, (it is really not difficult to kill ordinary people.)
On the other hand, in Nanyang and the senior officials!
Zhu Zilong's tough attitude made the Dutch extremely uneasy. Redman's reply finally waited!
But after reading the reply, the uneasiness in his heart became more and more obvious.
The reason is very simple!
In the Netherlands, he was a little unbelievable about his description in his letter.
Only a fleet of dozens of commercial and war-based ships were arranged to come and said they wanted to support them.
This made Redman almost have an old face that was so sad that he turned into a bitter melon face.
He quickly wrote a few more letters back to China, but based on the speed of the letters, he probably hadn't waited for the Netherlands. This domestic fleet that was supposed to support him had to collide with the Ming navy near Taiwan and the sea in advance.
Sure enough, they were still walking on the road.
The fishermen and merchant ships were not collected at night, and the giant eagle brother in the sky, the intelligence was investigated back.
According to time, you can encounter this enemy fleet at sea in a few days at most.
So, Zhu Zilong immediately ordered to take action first.
Let some of his subordinates block the Strait of Malacca.
Strait of Malacca: also translated as Strait of Malacca (English: Strait of Malacca; Malay: Selat Melaka): Malacca is an important international trade and transportation port nearby.
It is known as the "maritime lifeline" of Japan, Nanyang, and Taiwan.
It is an important international waterway, both economically and militarily. It can be compared with the Suez Canal or the Panama Canal!
-
On the other hand, Zhu Zilong personally led the team and brought half of the main navy with him.
Looking for the main force of the Netherlands' fleet at sea and conduct a decisive battle. We are determined to show the national strength of the Ming Dynasty and show it to other countries!
He wanted all his annihilation, and this kind of instant killing pleasure is a terrifying rhythm!
Redman, who learned about the information, sighed deeply.
Even if the main force of others goes out, the remaining teams in the port are still several times the number of strongholds. There is no possibility of being able to empty the rear. This kind of upright plot is truly a desperate situation!
"What a desperate big country, alas!"
The Ming Empire, which was once backward in the eyes of Europeans and had no sense of ocean, built a powerful fleet under the leadership of Zhu Zilong in just about ten years.
Above, the effective range of the Ming Fleet cannons and the speed of traveling are far superior to Western warships.
What does this mean after it?
At the trading ports of Guangdong and Shandong Province, other Westerners who were doing business with the Ming Dynasty. After hearing the rumors, they knew that the Ming Dynasty's navy was not dealing with their own country, but they couldn't help but sigh.
Ming Dynasty, there were 20 million great powers at the highest population. Even now, as long as their steel output can keep up and skilled workers can keep up, they are probably not any single Western country that can confront it.
Of course, no matter how proud you are, you will be very worried about how loyal you are to these foreign merchants and businessmen are.
After sighing, they still took photos of girls, took photos of goods, and did business, and ignored everything else.
Anyway, as long as the battle is not hit on them or affect their money.
If you offend Zhu Zilong, then your long-term trade cooperation with the Ming Dynasty will be basically exempted from negotiations.
There were no goods brought back to Europe from the Ming Dynasty that did not make a lot of money. The European nobles had no resistance to the silk, porcelain, tea, etc. of the Ming Dynasty, and all kinds of goods.
They think so much more than ten thousand miles apart. They won’t really come to the door, that is, they do business and cooperate.
Isn't this what they want?
Just talking about the Dutch, haha, the coachman at sea?
In the past few years, there are many business competitors. After sighing, it would be better for the sea coachman to be defeated, and we should be the only one.
(It’s not just Chinese people who like internal fighting, but foreign countries are the same.)
-
This era was led by Zhu Zilong.
The Ming Dynasty has overcome many difficulties and its scientific and technological level has always been at the world's leading level.
For Western powers who are used to bullying the weak and fearing the strong, this is a desperate empire, and there is no possibility of victory. As long as you can cooperate and do business together, everything else is not important.
In other words, some nouveau riche Western powers, such as the Netherlands and the British, may sometimes have some unrealistic dreams.
Of course, if they really want to do it, they will have to think about it for a long time.
Before the outbreak of the Opium War in history, Britain was so powerful that it had no confidence to defeat the Qing Dynasty. Otherwise, why should it bring in a few countries and establish an Eight-Nation Alliance?
Just like that, it only took some advantage and left immediately. I knew it was impossible to occupy China!
A huge and stable empire is something that is hard to imagine in the minds of European countries.
It was just like around 1639 that European countries fought to the death for survival. At this time, Tsarist Russia did not reach the peak of life, and it was not worth mentioning.
For several days, the navy led by Zhu Zilong walked to a must-pass road and stopped nearby.
It’s boring and boring on the sea, and only the war between iron and blood can bring people a starting point.
After another half a day, several bright signal flares flashed in the distant sky and continuous eagle cries. The navy soldiers and Zhu Zilong all cheered up, thinking, is this coming?
"Forward! Thirty-five degrees and fifty nautical miles!"
Under the command of the flag bearer, the Shandong Navy lined up a column of fleets and continued to sail on the sea surface. It formed a sea-surface cavalry formation!
More than an hour later, the two armies officially met at a distance visible to the naked eye.
"Damn it! Is it the Ming navy? Why are there so many? Only about eighty ships are missing!" An endless white sail appeared in the telescope, and Monide, the captain of the Dutch fleet, exclaimed.
Immediately afterwards, what made him desperate again.
He found that the Ming naval ships on the opposite side were traveling very fast.
Compared to his own side, the Dutch fleet with a maximum speed of only about eight to ten knots is judging by others, and they can attack and retreat freely. The rhythm is all in control!
The speed of the Ming Navy made the Dutch unable to accept it from the bottom of their hearts, but there was no way to not accept it.
The speed of iron is there.
Chapter 13 or Chapter 15? No, even Chapter 18 may be possible.
It really makes people feel despair that goes up to the next level!
