Chapter 930
Even so, at any rate, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom have added new warships, and the number of combined fleets has doubled.No matter what, they have a solid foundation in their hearts, and they are not really worried.

Just like that, the new capital city continued.As for the scale, it is really very small, far from being compared with Isfahan.In order to meet the construction deadline, no city wall was even built on the sea side.

Because in their view, there is a joint fleet on the sea side, at least it can guarantee safety.If the Ming army dared to go around and attack, they would definitely be attacked by the United Fleet, and they would die if they came!
Regardless of manpower input, the scale is small, and there is no need to build the side near the sea. When the Ming army came from Isfahan, they had only traveled half of the distance, and the new capital was almost completed.

Tens of thousands of civilian husbands, in the end only five or six thousand were left.Standing on the head of the city, which is not tall, Abbas II ordered to drive those peasants away.Staying here is just a waste of food, which he can't afford.

After all, Gomblon was originally just a fishing village. Although it has developed after the Dutch and British fleets docked, it can develop there again in about one or two years!There is no output here. When the capital was moved from Isfahan, the warehouse was indeed moved almost the same.However, the food brought in had to be supplied to the United Fleet, and it was unknown when the Ming army would retreat, so Abbas II had to live frugally.

Seeing the Persian army chasing them away, the peasants were desperate.

Originally, they were already exhausted, and their surroundings had been scraped by the Persian army, so there was nothing to eat.If they are driven away, they will only end up starving to death within a radius of a hundred miles.

However, facing the driving of the army, they had no choice but to leave.All of a sudden, there was a lot of wailing from Gomblon's side, and the crying was loud.

But Abbas II didn't care about this, and moved into his new palace, which was actually just a bigger house.Too much work, it is impossible to build the palace, so we can only let it go.

In order to celebrate the completion of the new capital and to celebrate the completion of the construction before the arrival of the Ming army, Abbas II also held a small banquet.Congratulations with his confidant Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, as well as Max and Anthony.

Many people haven't had a good meal for a long time, so they took the opportunity to drink more. Of course, it is inevitable to congratulate Abbas II.

"Your Majesty, this new capital city can be said to be impenetrable. If the Ming army dares to attack forcefully, they will definitely be beaten to death! Congratulations to the new capital city!"

"That's right, Your Majesty, this kind of Lingbao is really clever. No matter which direction you attack the city, you will always be attacked by us at two points and one line. Congratulations to such a powerful new city!"

"Wei Chen suggested that it would be better to ask the two fleet commanders to move some cannons to the top of the city!"

"..."

Anthony heard this, and quickly said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have already ordered that not only send cannons to the top of the city, but also send the most powerful artillery, which will definitely guarantee the power of the cannons."

"Your Majesty, I have sent someone to transport the cannons. I guarantee that the cannons will have the longest range and the greatest power. Your Majesty will definitely be satisfied!" Max glanced at Anthony, twitched his lips, and immediately said to Abbas II.

Abbas II laughed straight after hearing this, so he felt relieved.So, he raised his glass and said to the two Europeans: "Come, let's drink to my friendship with you!"

"Cheers!" Max and Anthony both toasted in response.

Not only that, those civil and military officials also quickly took the opportunity to raise their glasses, cheered and drank it down.

Seeing the maids pouring wine, Max smiled and said to Abbas II: "The Ming army only came with 1 people, and they are still walking so slowly, obviously the commander is not good. Otherwise, we must use the fastest speed to catch up I came here. I'm sure that this partial division of the Ming army is definitely not very good!"

On this point, Abbas II agrees.If he were to take command, he would absolutely have to use the fastest speed to attack here before the construction is completed.

Therefore, he said with a smile: "It's best that this Ming army can retreat in the face of difficulties, otherwise, how about you all cooperating to wipe out this Ming army?"

Whether it is the Dutch or the British, they are all equipped with flintlock guns.With their cooperation, the Ming army only has more than [-] troops, and it will definitely be wiped out.What's more, the ability of the commander-in-chief of the Ming army is just that.

In fact, as far as Abbas II is concerned, as long as he is not facing the Ming emperor, he is not afraid of other Ming generals.

After hearing this, Max and Anthony naturally agreed.But at the same time, they also began to think in their hearts, should they start discussing the benefits to them!If you don't take advantage of this moment to speak, you will definitely not ask for more in the future.

As if he knew something, Abbas II quickly raised his glass and said, "Come on, let's toast to our future!"

Hearing this, everyone in the lobby responded loudly and had another drink by the way.

However, at this moment, there seemed to be some voices.Anthony and Max were the most sensitive to that sound, and immediately pricked up their ears to listen.

Seeing that their expressions seemed wrong, Abbas II blinked his eyes, and when he was about to ask something, he also heard some voices from outside, so he also calmed down and listened.

Seeing them like this, the other civil and military officials also noticed, so they all silenced.

In the lobby, after it became quiet, a sharp flute sounded.

"No, there is an enemy situation!" Anthony was the first to come back to his senses, put the wine glass away after saying a word, and immediately stood up and said to Abbas II, "I'll go and see!"

After saying that, he hurried out without even waiting for Abbas II's consent.

Max was feeling better, and explained to Abbas II: "It seems to be an alarm from the fleet. It may be that the Ming Dynasty fleet has been discovered."

Speaking of this, seeing Abbas II's face change, he smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Ming army never thought that our fleet would double in size. If they think they can beat us, Hehe, please move your Majesty out to see how we deal with the oriental natives of the Ming Kingdom!"

After speaking, he turned around and went out to check the situation.

Of course, Abbas II could not be having any banquet, so he immediately led his civil and military officials out.

In the war at sea, he was powerless and could only be a spectator.

The arrival of the Ming army was somewhat expected.At this time, Abbas II was even more looking forward to the fact that the joint fleet of the Netherlands and the United Kingdom could beat the Ming army to the ground in front of him.It's better to catch another batch of prisoners, so that he can express the bad breath he has been holding in his heart.

Near the coast, there is no city wall.But this did not prevent them from crowding to the heights of the pier to watch.

All over the shore, the British and Dutch who heard the sirens rushed to the fleet docked in the port.The other Persian troops also crowded over curiously to see the situation.For them, the situation at sea is still quite new.

As for the fleet in the port, the warships that had no sailors to disembark originally sailed out of the port to prepare for battle.

At this time, the most noticeable thing is the east direction. Two warships are fleeing this way, and behind them, there seems to be a row of something.

For the Persians, they don't know what it is, but for Anthony, he knows it all too well.

After a little calculation in his mind, he was shocked. It seemed that there were a lot of Ming fleets this time.So he hurried back to his flagship at once.

The British fleet commander Max, who was one step behind him, came out without paying much attention at first.But when he saw the line on the sea in the distance, he felt as if someone had slapped him head-on. He was immediately confused: the number of Ming warships seemed wrong!

When he came back to his senses, his face immediately became serious, and he hurried back to his flagship without saying a word.

By the time Anthony rushed back to the flagship, the two patrol warships had already fled back, reporting what they had discovered with semaphore.

"What? Did you make a mistake?" Anthony was shocked when he heard the sailor's report, even though he felt that he had overestimated. "How many, more than 500 warships? Thousands of blessing ships?"

He knows about Daming's Fuchuan, which can be used for transportation or as a warship.Because originally Daming's ship was the only one.

There are thousands of Fuchuan, and there are more than [-] sailing warships, so how can this battle be fought, what a fart!

After confirming through the semaphore again, Antony was dumbfounded, and quickly ordered that all sailors on the shore leave the port to prepare for battle or escape, regardless of whether the sailors on the shore were on board or not!

The Dutch sailors who rushed to the port were dumbfounded when they watched their warship leave the port.So, everyone jumped up and cursed, and there was a lot of foul language on the pier.

The British fleet is just a beat slower than the Dutch side.Soon afterwards, the British sailors, who were also too late to board the ship, jumped and cursed at the port.

As far as the number of sailors who are not on board, there are at least 1000 people.Gathering at the port and yelling at the departing warships, the scene was very spectacular, and immediately attracted the attention of many Persians, all of whom laughed happily.

"Look, Your Majesty, they look so funny!"

"That's right, as for what, it's better not to be able to catch up with the ship to fight, and it's better to get on the ship after the fight!"

"..."

They were talking, and Abbas II glanced at the sound, but obviously felt that something was wrong.The two fleets left in such a hurry, it was not as easy as that British guy said!
When he turned back and looked at the sea in the distance, he finally saw it clearly.Those things before were all masts of Ming army battleships.The ground is full of Ming warships. How many are there?
Although his estimation was not as accurate as Anthony and the others, it didn't hinder him. It made him feel that the Ming army fleet was huge!
Suddenly, he was a little dumbfounded!
