Chongzhen Chat Group

While Emperor Chongzhen was thinking about this, Smith continued to be arrogant in the group: "What, you don't believe it? Let me tell you, I am the guard of the Governor's Mansion, and I heard what the Governor said that day, huh, wait for Badawi The construction of Ya is completed, just watch, these more than 4,000 oriental monkeys will be slaughtered for you to see!"

"Don't think that we Dutch are comparable to those Spanish! Our Dutch fleet has no rivals in the world. You Oriental Monkeys don't know it yet, you Oriental Monkeys should take the lead and unite all the monkeys to fight against our Dutch The leader of the people is going to kill all your Ming troops in Nanyang!"

"..."

Faced with his arrogance, all the Ming people in the group became angry. Every person and every word they spoke would criticize Smith to death, and Smith's speech was wiped out.

There was a lot of excitement, but after they got sleepy, they forgot all about what happened as soon as they got offline.

However, Emperor Chongzhen did not. From these words of Smith, he grasped the key point. Liu Xiang's alliance with Nanyang forces can also be proved from the side. In addition, there are more than 4,000 Ming workers in Batavia. Although there are not as many as in Luzon, more than 4,000 lives are still a lot. We must not watch them being slaughtered by the Dutch.

Emperor Chongzhen felt a little heavy when he thought so.

A battle in Nanyang is certain. He has also been preparing. Although they all have to unite, and the Dutch are leading the way, clamoring that the Dutch fleet is invincible, these things are no problem to him, they are just frogs in the well!

But what to do with the more than 4,000 Ming people? How to save them? You know, Batavia is far away from Luzon, separated by many indigenous forces and Liu Xiang pirates' sphere of influence. It would be very difficult to attack Batavia first to save the more than 4,000 Ming people. It's almost impossible. It's impossible to do.

So what to do? Emperor Chongzhen thought, a little worried!

Let Liu Xiang's third boss go to Batavia to look for opportunities? Not to mention whether he had a reasonable reason to go over, even if he did go over, how capable was Liang Xiaozhen to save those Ming people in the Dutch base camp?

Besides, Liang Xiaozhen was a very important secret move. When Ming Dynasty had a decisive battle with them, his level was high enough and he needed to provide information. If you can avoid using him, try not to use him.

After thinking for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen's heart moved. As a future generation, for this kind of special combat mission, it is natural to easily think of setting up a special force to rescue people.

At this time in ancient times, it was actually not realistic to establish special forces. But the key issue is that Emperor Chongzhen has a chat group and can communicate instantly. This is a very big advantage. Understand the local environment, know the internal situation of Batavia, and have a chat group for communication. When the time comes, the inside and outside will cooperate, and there will be a possibility of successful rescue.

Of course, the time can be chosen on the eve of the decisive battle in Nanyang, or at the beginning, or when the Dutch main fleet leaves Batavia, or when the Ming army is about to attack Batavia. Maybe, we can also cooperate with the main attack force and take down Batavia together, leaving behind the earliest classic example of special forces combat in this plane!

After Emperor Chongzhen weighed it for a while, he found that there seemed to be only one way to rescue these more than 4,000 Ming people.

Therefore, he no longer hesitated and immediately recruited Sun Chuanting, governor of Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong provinces, and Zheng Zhilong (Liu Jinsheng), commander of the navy. He briefly described the situation, and then said to Sun Chuanting: "Sun Qing, some of the Ming people who were plundered by the Folangji people are in Batavia. As long as we find out all the Ming people in Batavia, I will Just reinstate the minister to his post, I believe others will have nothing to say!"

When Sun Chuanting heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. However, he had not yet understood the difficulty of rescuing the Ming people in Batavia. When he heard Emperor Chongzhen ask Zheng Zhilong about the method, but Zheng Zhilong had no good method, his excitement cooled down significantly.

Apart from Emperor Chongzhen, if there is anyone who is most familiar with Nanyang, it is Zheng Zhilong. But there is nothing he can do, so there is really nothing he can do.

Based on this, Emperor Chongzhen expressed his thoughts in the temporary group: "In this case, then specially select elites from all armies to form a special operations force specifically for the purpose of rescuing the Ming people in Batavia. Training. After thinking about it, the personnel requirements should probably meet the following points."

"First, everything will be flooded. After all, we are fighting in Nanyang, and landlubbers cannot do it."

"Second, this army will most likely not be able to attack from the Dutch port. A hard attack will require a detour after landing. Therefore, the island's terrain and climate must be adapted to the island's terrain and climate, and it must be able to march with high intensity."

"Third, after rescuing the local Ming people, we basically have to fight the Dutch in Batavia and persist until reinforcements arrive. It is probably unrealistic to withdraw quietly, so we must be able to fight hard!"

"..."

As he spoke, a word came into Emperor Chongzhen's mind: Marine Corps!

After he said what he could think of, he said to the two people in the group: "For this special forces personnel matter, you should assemble as soon as possible. It should be better to train in Luzon. You can decide the specific location. As for Batavia, The enemy information and terrain information, I will come up with a solution!"

Finally, he reminded: "This matter must be done as soon as possible! All efforts are to save the more than 4,000 Ming people in Batavia!"

Basically, Emperor Chongzhen was speaking alone. From this, both Sun Chuanting and Zheng Zhilong (Liu Jinsheng) deeply felt the emperor's concern for the more than 4,000 Ming people. At this time, they also experienced the holy meaning more deeply.

The current emperor is completely different from the previous emperors! Any emperor in the past, even those who were praised and praised by literati, could not catch up with the current emperor. With such an emperor around, the people of the Ming Dynasty, especially those overseas, don’t know how lucky they were in their lifetime!

Therefore, neither of them dared to neglect and responded immediately. Not to mention, the success or failure of this matter is also related to Sun Chuanting's official position.

Emperor Chongzhen did not take a break after he was told about this matter. He thought for a moment and learned about the situation at the Annan Hoi'an Shipyard through the Jin Yiwei in the chat group.

Originally, Emperor Chongzhen planned to build a new shipyard in Guangdong, but Zheng Zhilong's sneak attack basically captured Hoi An in Annan intact. There were Portuguese shipyards and gun workshops here. Many things were relatively advanced in this era. Therefore, the first shipyard in the south was eventually located here. Shipwrights and soldiers sent from the capital Many of the masters from the battle were sent to Hoi An.

Now, for Ming Dynasty, Westerners' sailing technology has been mastered by Ming Dynasty. At this time, unless Ming Dynasty comes up with steamships, this sailing ship will be the most advanced. However, in terms of guns, the Ming Dynasty at this time was actually ahead of Western countries. Front-loading rifled guns have been successfully tested not only in the capital, but also in Hoi An.

However, even if it does exist, there are also many shortcomings. The loading speed of the rifled gun is slow, and the rifling wear will be serious after only a few uses. In other words, the number of uses of this front-loading rifled gun is much less than that of an ordinary smoothbore gun. Therefore, the cost of rifled guns is actually very high.

However, it was also a shame that Sun Chuanting was selfless and hard-working in collecting taxes. The tax revenue he collected from opening up the sea increased year by year, and therefore, the funds for the Southern Navy became more and more abundant year by year. Although the cost of this front-loading rifled gun is high, some can still be built.

And Emperor Chongzhen had expectations that he was bound to win the decisive battle in Nanyang, so in terms of funding, he was even more inclined. Although the output of front-loaded rifled guns was not as good as smoothbore guns, there was already a batch of stocks. .

If the war starts next year, steamships will probably not be able to catch up. At present, the performance is not stable and it certainly cannot be used on the battlefield. But it doesn't matter, Ming Dynasty can storm the army. Every batch of graduates from the Ming Dynasty Junior Naval Academy in Fuzhou, Fujian, can build dozens of warships.

Maybe for others, it takes a long time to train a group of qualified sailors. However, Daming’s fishermen base is very large. These people get to know each other first when they enter the navy, and the old ones lead the new ones, while the naval academy selects experienced people from the navy for training. Regardless of the quality or quantity of this soldier source, it is estimated that no country in the world can compete with them. Compared with the serious Ming Dynasty.

The future Nanyang Campaign will be very different from the past, mainly depending on the navy's decisive battle. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen had already chosen the commander-in-chief of the Nanyang Campaign, no longer a land general, but Zheng Zhilong. This was unique in the history of the Central Plains. Or after this battle, it will mark the rise of the navy, and it can be renamed the navy!

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen immediately felt a little strange. The navy was too ugly, but the navy was better!

Now that the Ming Dynasty's domestic situation is stable and it has money, this is no longer a problem in terms of warships and guns. The key now is to obtain information. It is said that before the troops are moved, intelligence comes first. This is a wise saying.

With this in mind, Emperor Chongzhen began to add people again. But before he added anyone, he kicked that Smith out. There was nothing he could do. Ever since Smith joined the group, the main chat area had turned into mutual hostility. Although they all left the group and forgot what they said, this did not prevent them from starting to attack each other again and again after joining the group. Emperor Chongzhen was fed up with it and felt it had little use value, so he kicked it off.

The reason why he continues to add people is because he believes that now he, the group leader, knows what he wants to do, and this matter is also very important to ZTE Daming. With the unique nature of the chat group system, suitable candidates can definitely be added.

After adding fifty more people in one breath, one person caught his attention. Logically speaking, at Zhi Tianming's age, he should have looked past everything and taken a relatively light view of the world. However, this newly added man who knew destiny named himself "Sinner".

Sure enough, there was no need for him to ask questions. After entering the group for a while, the sinner spoke eagerly: "Are you all from the Ming Dynasty?"

"Nonsense, where do you think it is? By the way, I'm from Xi'an. Do you have any group friends in Xi'an?"

"I'm from Yingtian Mansion, looking for a fellow villager!"

"..."

When he said this, the group immediately started to look for fellow villagers. Not to mention, even though Ming Dynasty is so big, there are always a few people from the same place. Then they started talking about meeting offline. It's just a pity that the system now has an additional function. After they agree on a time and place, once they leave the group, what should they do or not? Offline dating? What's that?

Emperor Chongzhen didn't care about this, he was paying attention to the sinners.

"Everyone, I'm begging you. I don't know who can help me report it to the official. I'm very grateful!"

At this time, the group was already enthusiastic about recognizing fellow villagers, but no one paid attention to him as the instigator. However, Zhang Wu replied: "What's wrong? Could it be that you want to ask the government for help?"

From this sinner's words, he could feel his own mood when he first joined the group, and his intuition told him that this person might be just like him before!

"Yes, please tell me, brother, if you can do me a favor and report the news to the government!"

"I'm not in China, I'm in Luzon. I wonder if I can help?"

"Ah, you are in Luzon?"

"..."

Emperor Chongzhen looked at their chat and knew that the system had indeed not let him down, and that a useful person had really been added to the system. So, he sent a private message to this sinner.

Far away in Batavia, a gathering place for Ming people, there is a house that is obviously better than the surrounding straw huts, at least it is made of yellow mud. In the yard, there was an old man lying on a chair. His hair was gray and he looked like he was about to be buried. He looked like he was at least seventy or eighty years old.

Around him, there were several men sitting. But at this time, the atmosphere was a little weird.

The old man had his eyes closed, and these men didn't speak. They looked at each other with strange expressions on their faces, and they stared at the old man on the chair from time to time. Obviously, it was the old man who made them show such strange expressions.

Finally, a man spoke with a bit of heaviness: "Is this really what we have to do? If this life goes on like this, what will happen in the future? I still want to go back to my hometown!"

"Those pirates are really nothing. They are all wise people, but they are so vicious. I really miss the old days. If Mr. Su is our Kapitan, at least he will not suffer like this!" Another person also said.

"Sometimes, I really envy those Ming people in Luzon!" The third man also said, "At least they worked hard and could wait until the imperial army arrived. But we are too far away, and the imperial court doesn't even know about us. Suffer here!"
