Chapter 740 Dutch experience
In the Governor's Mansion, the guests of honor sat down respectively. The Dutchman West raised his chin slightly, raised his head, and asked the Spanish Governor Diego a little arrogantly: "How, I came in time, before the arrival of the Ming army." I'm here to help you Spaniards!"

Diego felt a little uncomfortable, and before he had time to say anything, he heard West say again: "The wind and waves are a bit strong during this period, and it is a bit difficult for us Dutch to come here. With the warships of those wise men, If you want to come from Annan, you will definitely be overturned by wind and waves."

Inside and outside the words, it seems that the Dutch are very powerful.

Even if there was no conflict between Spain and the Netherlands, Diego would feel uncomfortable from the perspective of ordinary people, not to mention that the Dutch are still rebelling against Spain.However, for the sake of Luzon, and in response to the imminent attack of the Ming army on Luzon, Diego could only endure it, and even said with a smile: "That is, your Netherlands' ability at sea is not comparable to these Easterners."

"These Orientals don't need to be said at all!" West heard, and said proudly, "Even your invincible Spanish fleet can't do anything to us!"

Hearing this, Diego became even more unhappy, but for the sake of the overall situation, he did not dare to get angry, so he changed the topic and said: "I received news that the Ming Dynasty planned to attack Lu from Annan and Taiwan. Song. We have to discuss how to deal with this situation after the storm calms down!"

When West heard it, his face suddenly showed anger: "Taiwan originally belonged to us Dutch, and the damned Ming people even had an affair with their government officials, cooperating internally and externally, and betraying my compatriots. In your hands, there will be no such thing at all.”

After hearing this, Diego felt grateful and felt a little comfortable for some reason.But on the surface, he took advantage of the situation and took over the topic and said: "There is a saying in the East that people who are not my race will have different hearts. It is because of Taiwan's lesson that I ordered all the Ming people in Luzon to be cleared to avoid repeating the same mistakes."

In Wester's ears, these words became: You Dutch died well and set an example. We Spaniards made this decision on the basis of your dead.Just like the Ming army attacked Luzon this time, the Dutch also had certain responsibilities.

Immediately, West was unhappy, he was also a colonist from Europe, who didn't know who!He immediately said in a cold voice: "What about the first three times, don't say this is the first time you have Tu Mingren!"

When Diego heard it, he was a little taken aback, wondering how to get involved in the previous matter?

He came back to his senses, and before he had time to think about how to answer, West sneered and said: "You Luzon is close to the Ming Dynasty, those Ming people have money, you must have earned enough! It's a pity for us Bada Via is too far away, otherwise, you can do the same thing, how great it is to do such a profitable thing!"

Diago couldn't help being furious to expose the bandit nature of the Spaniard face to face, can he still speak properly!
Filot, who had been accompanying him all the time, was also anxious when he saw the Dutchman speak so aggressively after meeting the governor.

He has been to Annan and has seen the Ming army, which is far comparable to ordinary Eastern troops.Of course, he also knows that although Spain and the Netherlands are united under the current situation, the hostile relationship between the two cannot disappear without a trace. Such a meeting scene is also conceivable.

Philot didn't want the two gentlemen to continue like this, so he said: "I have seen the Ming army on Annan's side, and I know it well, but I don't know much about the situation in Taiwan. As long as you move, there will definitely be more than us, what should we do with these two pincers?"

Hearing what he said, Diego immediately understood what he meant, and quickly said: "The Ming Dynasty is still too big, we are far away from Europe, and it is impossible to compete with the Ming army in terms of military strength. What should we do?"

After hearing this, West twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a sneer, "There's nothing to worry about. You think too highly of these oriental guys."

After hearing this, Diego finally couldn't help it anymore and said with a vague sarcastic tone: "How can you not worry? All your Dutch points in Taiwan were wiped out by the Ming army!"

"That's collusion between the Ming people!" West was furious when he heard it, and said loudly, "If you are prepared, let's see how the Ming army fights!"

Speaking of this, he felt the disbelief of the Spaniards, as if to say, you will be an afterthought, so he continued to say loudly: "The natives of Java, like the Ming Dynasty, sent tens of thousands of horses for the first time. This time, there were [-] troops, and they were defeated by me, Batavia!"

What he was referring to were the two Batavia battles. Of course, the Dutch won. Even according to the original historical development, the Dutch would eventually completely rule the Nanyang region.

Hearing him shouting like this, Philot, who understood the situation, couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "How can these Nanyang monkeys compare with the Ming Empire! In terms of fleet alone, they are incomparable."

In the Ming Dynasty, the Zheng family's fleet dominated the southeast, so the Dutch bowed down and were willing to pay protection fees!And those Nanyang monkeys themselves only have two warships, and the others are fishing boats and merchant ships collected from various ports. How can they compare?
As for the army, although the Nanyang Monkeys have many troops and dominate here, most of these troops are just farmers. How can they compare with the Ming army?Not to mention, the understanding of firearms and artillery is on two levels.

However, when Diego came, the Battle of Batavia had passed for many years, so he didn't know about it. When he heard that the Dutch had won the attack of an army of [-], he was shocked, although he suppressed his dissatisfaction. Thinking, quickly asked for advice: "I don't know how you defeated so many troops?"

"How else can we fight?" Seeing his look, West felt proud and answered him, "The more people come, the easier it is to fight. Just cut off their food!"

Having said that, he began to talk about the events of the year.Under the premise of doing a good job of internal defense, the Dutch sent their fleet to attack the enemy's granaries hoarded in various ports. In the end, although the native army reluctantly came to attack Batavia, they soon ran out of food and suffered a crushing defeat.

The terrain of Nanyang is mountainous, swampy, and the roads are muddy. It is okay if there are few people, but there are many people, especially if the army is moving, it is impossible to march long distances from land with food and grass.Therefore, food transshipment mostly depends on ports.The same is true, the Dutch seized this opportunity, relying on their maritime superiority, destroyed the grain gathered by the natives.

In their view, if the Ming Dynasty attacked Luzon, the more troops it had, the more grain it would have to bring.At sea, they are confident that they have this advantage and can defeat the Ming navy.Therefore, they prepared to use their previous experience to deal with the Ming army.

However, there is one thing they never thought about. Most of the indigenous army in the past were farmers. They only had five months to gather, go out, and return after harvesting the grain. At other times, there was the impact of the rainy season and rushing The request to go back to farming cannot be fought.

However, the Ming army dispatched were all regular troops. They did not have these problems and were only engaged in fighting.

At the end of the meeting, West said triumphantly: "How about it, are you confident now?"

Seriously, let alone, after hearing what he said about these countermeasures, Diego felt much more at ease, and immediately nodded and said: "I hope to teach the Ming army a hard lesson this time, and stop them before trying to get involved." The idea of ​​Nanyang!"

"That's inevitable, and that's what our Governor-General also meant!" West heard this, and immediately said, "Furthermore, it is probably beyond the Ming Kingdom's expectation that our Dutch fleet will come to Manila to help you this time. Wait for the storm After being a little smaller, when the warship of the Ming Dynasty came to Manila, it suddenly appeared, and it would definitely catch the Ming Dynasty fleet by surprise!"

Just as he was talking, someone outside suddenly came in and reported to Diego: "Your Excellency, the wind and waves outside have not shown signs of increasing, and it seems that there will be signs of stopping."

Hearing the report, Diego ordered: "Continue to observe!"

In this season, there shouldn't have been such a storm. Now that so many days have passed, it is normal for it to stop.

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at West, and then discussed the suggestion that West had just made.

However, they didn't know that at the outer corner of Manila Bay, there was a Ming army team of about ten people hidden. The leader of the team took out a wooden sculpture from his arms until no other ships came in and out of the sea. He put it in his ear and began to report: "Your Majesty, I found that ten Hongyi warships entered Manila and colluded with the Xiyi here. My subordinates continue to observe to see if there are any follow-up Hongyi warships. Here The wind and waves on the sea have become much smaller, according to what His Majesty said, the wind and waves..."

The nine people around him all watched him curiously, held their breath, and watched him report solemnly.

Finally, after he finished speaking and carefully put the wooden carving back into his arms, one person couldn't help asking: "Brother Liu, can the emperor really know what you just said?"

"That's still false, the emperor has said it, so you can definitely know it!" Before the leader Liu Ge could answer, the other person immediately answered first.

The other one, who was more mature and older, followed suit: "Whether you can find out, you will know after a while!"

Many people nodded after listening.Brother Liu wanted to reprimand them, but dared to question this!However, when he really wanted to speak, he suddenly heard movement not far behind him, so he quickly ordered: "Be careful, it seems that someone is coming!"

At this time, the others naturally heard it, and quickly lowered their bodies, looking towards the source of the sound.
