Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Page 266

At that time, Toyotomi Hideyoshi raised countless troops and wanted to invade the Ming Dynasty from North Korea, in a vain attempt to invade the Central Plains.

When they first attacked North Korea, North Korean soldiers were vulnerable and defeated at the first touch.

But when Ming's army arrived, the situation of the war took a sharp turn for the worse.The pace of conquest can never take another step forward.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi's soldiers are elite soldiers who have fought for a long time, and there are many talented generals under him. Unfortunately, they were almost wiped out by Da Ming.

If it wasn't for this reason, how could the current General Zhengyi be the Tokugawa family?

Daming is a country we cannot defeat. "

Mitsuhisa Shimadzu looked at Jiuqing Shimadzu, and said coldly: "What do you mean by these words? What do you want to say?"

Shimadzu Jiukei said: "I want to tell you that although the current Ming Dynasty is full of internal and external troubles, it is still a huge empire, and it is not something we can contend with.

Stop the Shimadzu family, if Ryukyu is gone, it will be gone, and it wasn't originally from the Shimadzu family.A general of the Ming Dynasty can easily defeat the five hundred elite Ryukyu soldiers, let alone the entire Ming Dynasty?

Ryukyu has always been a vassal state of Ming Dynasty, if the Shimadzu family angered Ming Dynasty, it would be a catastrophe for the Shimadzu family. "

Hearing these words, Mitsuhisa Shimadzu sneered again and again, "It's a joke, Ryukyu was captured by my father with great difficulty. It can bring a lot of income to my Shimadzu family every year, so why don't you just don't want it now?"

Shimadzu Mitsuhisa looked at Shimadzu Jiukei with a cold expression on his face.

Shimadzu Mitsuhisa and Shimadzu Jiuqing have always been at odds. Shimadzu Jiuqing is older than Shimadzu Mitsuhisa and has a high prestige among Satsuma fans.

Shimadzu Mitsuhisa is younger, and now that Shimadzu Iehisa's health is deteriorating, it seems that he is about to die.

Now is the most critical period for the change of new and old Patriarchs?

Although Mitsuhisa Shimadzu is the biological son of Iehisa Shimadzu, but that is the head of the family, who can not be jealous?

Therefore, on weekdays, Jiuqing Shimadzu has always had trouble with Mitsujiu Shimadzu, and sang against him.

And Mitsuhisa Shimadzu has long regarded Jiuqing Shimadzu as a thorn in his side and wanted to get rid of him.

"Profit? Let me advise you, Daming is not someone the Shimadzu family can afford, so let's stop.

If Ryukyu is gone, it will be gone, but don't cause a catastrophe for the Shimadzu family just because of a small Ryukyu. "Hisaki Shimadzu looked at Mitsuhisa Shimadzu with a cold face, and said calmly.

Mitsuhisa Shimadzu knelt quietly on the ground, sneered again and again, "Hehe, the boss is really sophisticated.

But it is impossible for me to give up Ryukyu. "

Mitsuhisa Shimadzu looked towards the hall and shouted: "Which of you dare to lead the troops to fight and expel the Ming army on the Ryukyu for me?"

Although Mitsuhisa Shimadzu's voice was loud, no one in the hall responded.

Daming's size is really too big, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and a wrecked boat has three thousand nails. How can a Samopan provoke Daming?

Running to Ryukyu, wouldn't it be obvious to die?

Shimadzu Hisamitsu yelled three times, but still no one responded.

"Humph!"

Mitsuhisa Shimadzu's face was ugly, he snorted coldly, then stood up and walked towards the back.

When leaving, Mitsuhisa Shimadzu glared at Jiuqing Shimadzu fiercely, with murderous intent in his eyes.

But Shimadzu Hisakyo was like a normal person, sitting there quietly, not paying attention to Shimadzu Mitsuhisa at all.

Also, today's Shimadzu Mitsuhisa is only in his early twenties, so how could Shimadzu Jiuqing put him in the eyes?

When Mitsuhisa Shimadzu walked out of the hall, he looked at the sun in the sky, with murderous intent in his eyes, "Sooner or later, I will kill you, Jiuqing Shimadzu."

……

In Batavia, Java, the current Governor of Batavia, Jane Petersjohn Cohen, is sitting in the office of the Governor's Mansion. He is holding a document and watching quietly.

Sitting in front of him, Putmans said to Cohen anxiously: "Your Excellency, you can't go, you must not go. The weapons of those people are simply not something we can fight against. Let's go." There's only one way to die."

Cohen put down the paperwork in his hand, picked up a cup of steaming coffee on the table, and looked at Putmans, "You are incompetent and still let me go? What is your reason.

You should be clear about the significance of the city of Zeelandia to the empire in the east.I really didn't expect that the city of Zeelandia would disappear from your hands. You should still think about how to explain it to the empire. "

Putmans looked at Cohen who didn't listen at all, his face was full of anxiety, "You can't go, the firepower of those people is simply not something we can compete with.

Just like it was raining, it crackled and exploded non-stop. The city wall of Zeelandia City was like a piece of paper, and it shattered when it was blown lightly. "

"Okay, don't say any more. Now that I have assembled all the empire's fleet in the east, I will take back the city of Zeelandia no matter what I say this time.

Hmph, let me clean up the stupid things you did yourself.You'd better care about yourself, and that Siviri is simply a trash, a useless thing.

It's a perfect fit for the two of you to come together, a pair of incompetent people. "

Cohen put down the coffee in his hand, slammed on the table, stared at Putmans like a cannibal, and shouted loudly.

When Putmans and Cohen fled back to Batavia, Putmans and Cohen hurriedly told Cohen the news that Zeelandia had been captured.

After Cohen heard the news, his whole body was about to explode. At that time, he wanted to gather all the fleets and launch an attack on the city of Zeelandia.

But at that time, most of his fleet was outside and not in the port of Batavia, so Cohen temporarily let go of this idea.

Although this idea was temporarily put down, it does not mean that Cohen gave up on this idea.

During this period of time, Cohen has been mobilizing the fleet. After so many days of hard work, except for those warships that must be stationed in various places or have special missions, other warships that can be mobilized are basically mobilized.

Hongyi's sailing battleships in Southeast Asia are basically third-tier battleships. Although they are third-tier battleships, they are somewhat different from the third-tier battleships of Western countries at the same time.

An ordinary third-tier battleship has only two decks, and the number of artillery equipped is only about sixty or seventy.

Although Hongyi's third-tier battleship also has two decks, it is only equipped with fifty or even fewer naval guns. Although the artillery is small, it has a large caliber.

Moreover, Hongyi's third-tier warships are lighter and smaller than contemporary third-tier warships in terms of tonnage and number of artillery.

In this way, the speed of these third-tier warships is very fast and very flexible.

Relying on the power of large-caliber artillery and the flexible navigation capability brought by small tonnage, especially in shallow water, the navigation capability is far better than that of contemporary sail battleships.

Hongyi has a total of more than 300 ships in Southeast Asia, of which there are about fifty third-class sailing battleships, and the rest are basically armed merchant ships.

This time Cohen mobilized a total of 120 third-class sailing battleships and [-] armed merchant ships, a total of [-] ships.

Cohen stood up, staring at Putmans closely, and shouted loudly: "Who can believe your nonsense? Cannonballs like rain, powerful cannonballs that can blow through the walls of the bastion, Hehe, keep these words of yours, and don't bring them up in front of me again in the future."

Cohen roared loudly, then strode outside.

Putmans looked at Cohen who didn't listen at all, his face was full of helplessness.

"Hey, I hope you can bring back these warships intact. These ships were built by the empire with great difficulty. I hope there will be less loss."

Putmans muttered a few words, then walked outside.

The port of Batavia is also one of the busiest ports in this era. Spices from Java, raw silk, porcelain, tea from Ming Dynasty, gold from Luzon and other materials will be transported to the port of Batavia, and then packed into ship to the West.

There are still a large number of Ming people in the port of Batavia, and these Ming people are basically people from the coastal areas in the south of Ming Dynasty.

These people couldn't survive in Daming, so they came here to seek a living in Batavia.

Ming people are the most industrious people in the world. As long as it is a place that people can reach, Ming people can always create a lot of wealth with hard work.

However, hard work does not necessarily lead to good results.

Especially here in Java.

The night gradually fell, and the streets of Batavia were extremely silent, except for the barking of dogs, there was no other sound.

In the Governor's Mansion, Cohen looked at an aborigine sitting in front of him with a stern look on his face.

This native is called Babur, and he is the local leader. When the Hongyi ruled Java, in order to better manage the Javanese, he specially recruited him.

"Babur, from today onwards, you will keep a close eye on all the Ming people in the entire city, and you will not let them leave the city.

Remember, you can't let them out of town, not one of them. "Cohen's face was full of coldness.

Because he often deals with Hongyi, Babur can speak Hongyi's language.

Babur asked: "Your Excellency, why is this?"

"Hmph, where did you come up with so much nonsense? Let you stare at you. I will leave here in a few days and go to the city of Zeelandia. After I leave, I will take a large number of warships with me.

These Ming people are always an unstable factor in Batavia, you must keep an eye on me. "Cohen said coldly.

Babur's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Your Excellency, do you mean to kill all these people?"

Babur put his hand down his neck and made a gesture of wiping his neck.

These smart people are very rich, Babur has been jealous for a long time, and he has long wanted to do something to these smart people.

Cohen glanced at Babur lightly, "I didn't mean that, these smart people are still of some use to me now.

As for what's in your heart, I know it even if you don't tell me.Let me tell you, these Ming people cannot die now.You people are so lazy, it's like killing you to work.

These smart people are still diligent, and working alone can keep up with three or four of you.Now Batavia still cannot do without these enlightened people. "

"Understood!" Babur said solemnly, patting his chest.

"Let me tell you, you must keep an eye on me for a while. The Ming people in the city must not be allowed to contact any suspicious people, and the Ming people in the city must not be allowed to leave the city." Cohen said again.

Babur nodded heavily, and said flatteringly: "I will definitely listen to what the adults say, and do this well."

……

After Zhao Wen finished his business in Ryukyu, he returned to Zeelandia on the treasure ship Yangwei.

Before Zhao Wen left, he left two hundred soldiers in Ryukyu.

The foundation of the bastion under construction has been completed, and it won't be long before the main part can be built.

After sailing at sea for several days, Zhao Wen returned to Zeelandia.

The city of Zeelandia has not yet been completed, and it is still a hot construction site.

It's just that the forts near the port have already been put into use.

After Zhao Wen left, Song Hu and Mao Chengzuo also led the soldiers to develop around.

Today's Zeelandia City is more than twice as large as before.

A few days after Zhao Wen returned to Zeelandia, Cohen set off with his fleet, heading for Zeelandia.

The distance from Batavia to the city of Zeelandia is not close, coupled with the fact that Cohen's fleet is huge, and the speed of armed merchant ships is not fast, so the overall speed of Cohen's fleet is not very fast.

The third-level sailing warship is larger than the ordinary Fuchuan, and the number of artillery on it is about fifty.

The double deck is covered with one after another cannon ports.

Cohen stood on the flagship of the fleet, looking at the sea ahead with a gloomy expression on his face.

"Hmph, daring to snatch the city of Zeelandia is simply looking for death. This time, you will all be killed."

Cohen held a monocular in his hand and looked forward from time to time.

At this time, Zhao Wen didn't know all this. Although Zhao Wen also sent people to patrol the sea, but now Cohen was still far away from Zeelandia City, and the two sides had no contact, so Zhao Wen didn't know the news.

Although Zhao Wen didn't know the news, Zhao Wen could guess it.

Today's Hongyi has the title of sea coachman, and his strength on the sea is extremely strong.

In this environment, Hong Yi became arrogant.

Especially now that they have suffered such a dull loss in Zhao Wen's hands, can they let it go?

Even if Putmans and the returnees told all about what they saw in Zeelandia, no one would believe it.

In addition, it has been some time since Zhao Wen left Zeelandia City, no matter what happens, Hongyi will be here soon.

In order to have a better chance of winning this battle, Zhao Wen went back to the warehouse again and rummaged through the warehouse.

The entire warehouse group is very large, and there are a large number of warehouses in it. It takes a lot of time to search through these warehouses.

So so far, Zhao Wen has not searched the entire warehouse.

Zhao Wen walked in the warehouse group, looking at the large and small warehouses in the warehouse group, his face was full of anticipation.

Eventually, Zhao Wen stopped outside a weird warehouse.

This warehouse is very short, half shorter than other warehouses.

Although it is short, it is very wide. The entire warehouse is more than two times wider than ordinary warehouses.
