Daming Military Empire

Chapter 332

When facing Fan Mendy, Zheng Zhilong showed indifference, but he was actually a little worried. He knew how powerful the European powers were. The Netherlands couldn’t do anything to Ming, but adding a powerful country like Britain or France , it's hard to say.

After dismissing Fan Mendi, Zheng Zhilong hurried over to report to Zhu Cijiong.

After Zhu Cijiong heard Zheng Zhilong's retelling, his heart skipped a beat. It seemed that the European powers didn't know that Spain had decided to abandon the peace talks and were ready to continue fighting.

In addition, the European powers actually planned to join forces to deal with the Ming Empire. This did not exist in history. In history, after they overthrew the Habsburg Dynasty, they tore up their faces and started grabbing territory around the world, because at that time there was no Without the powerful threat of Da Ming, now because of his appearance, Da Ming has become extremely powerful, and the European powers have also become united, what a headache!

Zhu Cijiong thought for a while, and immediately shouted to the door: "Cao Huachun."

Cao Huachun entered in response, knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "My minister is here."

Zhu Cijiong said in a loud voice: "I will pass on my order to order Dongda Shipyard to speed up the progress, and must make the fifty super battleships sent to Europe within half a month."

He originally planned to arrange for someone to send fifty super battleships to the European continent after the Chinese New Year, because the contract signed with Spain was counted from May, and it was just right to send them after the Chinese New Year, but now it seems that they must be sent as soon as possible. Let the European powers know Spain's intention to continue fighting as soon as possible, and save them from worrying about how to curb the development of Ming Dynasty all day long.

Of course, what was provided to Spain was still sailing battleships. Ships are now Daming's trump card, and it is impossible for him to let the European powers grasp them prematurely.

Cao Huachun left as ordered, but Zheng Zhilong asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, will Annan still be beaten?"

Zhu Cijiong said angrily: "Fight, why not fight, everything is going according to the original plan, you should hurry up and prepare."

Zheng Zhilong heard the words, and did not immediately resign, but asked worriedly: "Then what if the Dutch obstruct?"

Zhu Cijiong said angrily: "Then beat them together!"

Seeing that the emperor had a tendency to go crazy, Zheng Zhilong didn't dare to ask any more, and hurriedly bowed and resigned. If he dared to ask again, the emperor would probably beat him up together!
Zhu Cijiong was indeed a little angry. The great powers are the most disgusting. If you can't beat them, you call friends and friends, just like hooligans fighting in groups.

He suppressed his anger, thought about it carefully, and asked Huang Daozhou to be called in, and asked him to immediately arrange several scholars to go to Siam, Champa and even Donghu to proclaim the decree.

He originally planned to clean up the countries in Southeast Asia slowly, but now it seems that the progress must be accelerated. The Netherlands has already extended its hand in. If you don't hurry up, the big powers will probably intervene.

Fan Mendi was also very angry at this time. Zheng Zhilong's attitude made it clear that he didn't pay attention to them, the Netherlands, which was simply too arrogant.

But after returning to the sea, he calmed down again when he saw the warships of the Ming Dynasty staring at him. He had no choice but to beat the navy of the Ming Empire with the warships in his hands.

He thought for a while, and ordered the fleet to immediately return to Annan's Haiphong Port, where Annan's Zheng family was still waiting for his news.

Along the way, he was thinking about whether to help Annan resist the invasion of the Ming Empire. His own fleet, plus the warships deployed by the East India Company in Batavia, could make up a total of about [-] super battleships, and There are about [-] small warships and armed merchant ships.

This battleship may be barely enough to defend Batavia, but it is far from enough to start a war with Daming in the waters near Annan. He saw no less than a hundred super battleships in the waters near Siming Mansion alone. There are no less than a thousand small warships, and he can't beat this navy alone, let alone the main navy of the Ming Empire in the Straits of Malacca!

He finally decided, forget it, and hurry up, if the Ming Empire makes another sudden attack like last time, then his fifty super battleships and more than 2 men will all be captured again!

Annan Zheng's side is naturally extremely anxious, looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally looking forward to the return of the Dutch fleet, and Zheng Bing didn't care about etiquette, as soon as he saw Fan Mendi, he couldn't wait to ask: "Go up Your Excellency, what does Da Ming say, are you willing to retreat?"

After hearing the euphemism conveyed by the translator, Fan Mendi didn't show any expression. He said indifferently: "The intention of the Ming Empire is not clear."

What does this mean, Zheng Yan was confused, and he couldn't help asking: "Then what should we do?"

Fan Mendi said with a blank expression: "You can never go wrong in preparing for defense. I will provide you with a hundred cannons first. When the Ming Empire is really ready to attack, you can send someone to notify me. I'll send more weapons next time."

Van Mendy wanted to get away, but he didn't want to lose face in front of the weaker allies, so he said so vaguely, one hundred cannons of the smallest model are already his maximum authority, and he will ask for more I applied to the country, and why will more weapons be sent next time?

Hearing that Van Mendy said that he would give them a hundred cannons, Zheng Bing's eyes immediately glowed with fiery light. In his eyes, the Dutch cannons are magical weapons. Their range and power are simply invincible.

He even thought about buying hundreds of Dutch cannons, destroying the Ruan family in one fell swoop, and then defeating Donghu and even Ming Dynasty to achieve dominance. However, the Dutch cannons are too expensive, and they cost 5 taels of silver each , How much money can he have as a little Annan, and he has only bought less than fifty doors in the past few years, and now the Dutch gave him a hundred doors, how can he not be overjoyed!
Of course, Fan Mendi is not a nice man. The reason why he gave Zheng Bing all the cannons he could use was because he wanted Zheng Bing to hold on for a while, so that they would have time to invite the allies to deal with Daming. In his opinion, with After these cannons, no matter how bad Annan is, it will not be a problem to resist for two or three years. You must know that so many countries have united to deal with the Holy Roman Empire. After 30 years of fighting, the Holy Roman Empire has not yet been defeated.

Of course, Annan is far behind the Holy Roman Empire, but the current Holy Roman Empire already has a lot of princes, and their emperor can only mobilize more than [-] troops. This Annan also has almost [-] troops to resist a Ming Dynasty. Empire, two or three years is a conservative estimate!
After Fan Mendi handed over one hundred cannons to Zheng Bing, he led the fleet and ran back to Batavia in despair. Zheng Bing looked at the densely packed cannons in front of him, and couldn't help being ambitious. Come on, Daming, with this What a cannon, let's see what you can do to me!
