Chongzhen Chat Group

Whether they are the Dutch, the Spanish, or the Portuguese, they are all outsiders, Western barbarians. After coming to Nanyang, they came to rule and plunder the local people. This is an ironclad fact, and anyone who is not blind can see it clearly.

As for the indigenous leaders, of course they don't like Xiyi. However, if it is ruled by the Western Yi, at least they still have leaders to serve as under the Western Yi's rule. However, when the Ming Dynasty comes, it will come to enfeoff the vassal king. From now on, it will no longer be their own territory, but the territory of the Ming Dynasty vassal king. Compared with the Western Yi setting up a governor, they are naturally more for objecting.

Some indigenous leaders did not believe Liu Xiang's lobbying at first, but when they saw that over in Luzon, the local indigenous people were either killed by the Ming army or taken away to dig mines and build roads. The only people who had a decent life were those who had treated Akito well before.

However, in the past, who knew that Ming Dynasty would make decisions for these overseas Ming people? Therefore, who would have a favorable impression of these Akito who have such strong earning power? No matter how many, they have more or less oppressed the Ming people. In this way, these indigenous leaders are afraid of being ruled by the Ming army.

Liu Xiang understands these situations very well. He also knew that the natives had no choice but to cooperate with the Dutch. To them, this is also a pack of man-eating wolves. If we go to Batavia to make an oath, who knows if these Westerners will suddenly attack?

Among the indigenous leaders, Xiyi basically did not have much credibility at all. Because when they first came to Nanyang, they did all sorts of things like smiling in front of someone's face and stabbing them in the face. Only now that they have a common enemy, the Ming Kingdom, will they cooperate with these Western barbarians. Without the great enemy of the Ming Dynasty, they would still be hostile to each other.

Thinking about this, Liu Xiang felt helpless and could only agree: "As long as the Governor can lead us to defeat the imperial navy and drive the army back, everything will be easy!"

When he said this, he had already made up his mind to ask the indigenous leaders to give some blood, but he could not let his landlord pay for the supplies alone.

After agreeing on the date, Liu Xiang was in a hurry to go back and left directly, wanting to go back and arrange the matter immediately. If he doesn't defeat the imperial navy, he will feel uncertain, especially when the imperial navy has more and more sail warships.

Kun didn't stop him, but after Liu Xiang walked a few steps, he seemed to remember something, and stopped Liu Xiang again and said: "Master Liu, you forgot to say something."

When Liu Xiang heard this, he turned around, looked at him with some confusion and asked, "I wonder if the Governor has anything else to explain?"

"Well, I just thought about it." Kun replied as if he just remembered, "You are right, time cannot be delayed any longer. If it is delayed for one day, the strength of the Ming Kingdom will become stronger. In this way, the alliance will When the time comes, I will go there in person, and other leaders from various places hope to go there in person, so that they can make the decision on the spot, lest those who go cannot make the decision, go back and forth, waste time, and give the Ming Dynasty a chance to gather strength! You See, how is it?"

When Liu Xiang heard this, he nodded quickly and said: "The Governor is wise, this is the best! I will try my best to convince them!"

Not long after, on the pier, watching Liu Xiang's ship leave in a hurry, Anthony couldn't help it and asked Kun: "Master Governor, why do you want to accommodate these Orientals? Without our fleet, it is impossible for them to fight with Ming Dynasty." The National Navy is competing against us. We have said that in Batavia, do they still have a choice?"

In his opinion, the address of this alliance should be decided by the Dutch, because they have the biggest fist!

Upon hearing this, Kun withdrew his gaze, looked at Anthony and said with a smile: "If we decide to stay in Batavia, will the kings of those indigenous monkeys come? For us, there is a powerful fleet, and it is the same everywhere. As long as those The king has gone to Temasek, and as soon as our fleet arrives, we can catch them all, hold their royal capital in our hands, defeat the Ming Kingdom, and control Nanyang easily!"

Upon hearing this, Anthony couldn't help but suddenly realized, and nodded quickly: "The Governor is still wise! This way, for our Dutch East India Company, it is the most convenient and quick way to control the entire Nanyang!"

Kun was also proud. He turned around and walked towards the carriage parked not far away. At the same time, he said: "This Liu Xiang is a good candidate for running errands. Orientals like them understand Orientals. If he comes forward and swears an oath at Temasek, I believe he is You won’t let me down!”

The two of them got into the car while talking. When they drove out of the pier, they saw the busy figures of Ming people. Anthony said a little angrily: "The construction speed of these Ming people is obviously slower than before. Those of Liu Xiang's My subordinates don’t know what they do for food, do they really think we are easy to deceive?”

After Kun heard this, he didn't take it seriously. He closed his eyes as if to rest his mind, but at the same time he replied: "It doesn't matter. I used to think that I would kill them after they finish building. But our strategy has changed. Just let them do it! Let them fix it!"

"Ah?" Anthony was a little confused and asked doubtfully, "How is this possible?"

Kun didn't open his eyes and replied calmly: "After defeating the Ming Dynasty, at least on the Luzon side, we can capture more Ming people. By then, I have an idea, or we should build a new position to change the position." Suitable for Batavia!”

Batavia is indeed a bit out of the way for the entire Southeast Asia. In the past, there was no way, it was too late. The Portuguese and Spanish who came first took advantage of the good places, but now that they can control the entire Southeast Asia, Batavia's location is remote, or it may be time to change places.

Thinking of this, Anthony quickly nodded in agreement: "The Governor is right, it is indeed time to change the place. However, these wise people cannot let them go and let them continue to cultivate in a new place until they die! "

"Well, that's for sure!" Kun said lightly and continued to close his eyes and meditate, but in his mind, he was already planning the most suitable place to build the new Batavia!

Besides, Liu Xiang rushed back to Temasek from Batavia, and immediately summoned his men, explained the situation, and then urged his men to go to various places to invite the indigenous leaders.

Upon hearing this, Liang Xiaozhen, the third boss, immediately reported the news through the chat group.

Upon hearing this, Sun Chuanting, the interim governor of Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong provinces, immediately suggested to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I thought that I would take advantage of this opportunity to attack Temasek and wipe out the Nanyang bandits in one fell swoop!"

As long as these people who are against the Ming Dynasty can be annihilated, the entire Nanyang will belong to the Ming Dynasty, and those people of the Ming Dynasty who were robbed can also be rescued, then his temporary hat can be removed.

Emperor Chongzhen was a little helpless after hearing this. He didn't want to have a decisive battle so early. As long as the situation lasts longer, Ming's strength in Nanyang will become stronger. But sometimes, not everything goes as planned. Therefore, after pondering for a moment, he issued an order: "Okay, let the navy from all over the country gather to Luzon!"

The number of naval forces in Luzon is only part of what is apparent. With the strength of the Ming Dynasty and Emperor Chongzhen's current attitude towards the ocean, how could it be possible that what Sun Chuanting had been preparing for since summoning Sun Chuanting last year could only have Luzon's naval force.

As soon as Emperor Chongzhen made this decree, all parts of the country immediately took action.

Fujian's naval warships, either one, two, or one or two teams, began to gather at Fuzhou Taiping Port. In just a few days, there were seventy or eighty naval warships of various colors in Taiping Port.

At the same time, Governor Sun Chuanting left Fuzhou and rode to Taiping Port in person.

In the Naval Junior School here, the soldiers who were originally transferred from warships from various places for training had already received the notice and had already gathered on the school field when Sun Chuanting arrived.

Sun Chuanting didn't waste any time. He dismounted his horse, strode forward with a cold face, and after stepping onto the general platform, he shouted coldly: "The decisive battle in Nanyang is about to begin. After you have learned so much, you should go to the battlefield." Let’s see the real chapter. I’ll say it here first. I will reward you for your merits and punish you for your faults. I won’t say any kind of kindness. The glory, wealth and honor are all in your hands. Return to the team today and set off tomorrow! Do you understand?”

Everyone, especially the people from Fujian, had a deep understanding of the governor's style. Therefore, all the soldiers shouted in unison: "Understood!"

Then, if there is nothing more to say, everyone disbands, packs up and returns to the team.

Their return was actually just to Taiping Port. Because their fleets have already gathered at Taiping Port.

This series of actions also caused a lot of discussion among the local people.

"What's going on? Are there another pirates?"

"Impossible. In this situation, where are the pirates who don't have a good eye and dare to come to Ming Dynasty to steal things?"

"..."

Since the year before last, the power of the Ming Navy has become more and more powerful, far more than ever before. Even when Japanese pirates were prevalent and the imperial court was fully engaged in dealing with Japanese pirates, there was no navy of such a large scale. Under this background, there is no room for pirates to survive, especially when the cold-faced King of Hell is in charge of the navy.

Therefore, the answer was not difficult to guess, and soon some people thought of it.

"I know, something must have happened over there in Nanyang, this is going to Nanyang!"

"That's right, only the Nanyang side of our Ming Dynasty needs to dispatch naval forces!"

"Those damn Xiyi and those damn Nanyang monkeys, we should teach them a lesson to see if they still dare to harm us Ming people!"

"The imperial court has pacified Nanyang as soon as possible, and the people of my clan can feel at ease when they go to do business in the vassal state!"

"..."

For the imperial navy to send troops to Nanyang, the people along the coast all agreed.

Amidst the discussions of these people, the navy of Taiping Port set off. But instead of going south along the coast, they went to Dazhan. After replenishing supplies, they joined the navy stationed at Da Yuan's side, and together they crossed the Bashi Strait and headed for Luzon.

Not only that, there are also naval warships in Hoi An who received the order. They first arrived at the "Xisha Islands" in later generations, where they gathered naval warships from Hainan, and then passed through the "Zhongsha Islands", "Huangyan" The "Island" front line is gathering towards Luzon and Manila.

When the Ming naval forces from various places began to set off, the various people of the anti-Ming alliance had just set off for Temasek.

In Batavia, Su Minggang was old and frail, and was taking a nap at home. Suddenly, Su Minglun rushed in and said, "Uncle, something big has happened..."

His words frightened Su Minggang so much that he lost all sleep. He immediately stood up and asked, "Is it the Dutch who are going to take action?"

Faintly, he heard the noise coming from far away.

"No!" Sun Minglun had sweat on his forehead and shook his head quickly. "Seventy-five Dutch warships were parked at the port. Even the governor and the admiral left together. Our people saw Yes, let’s go to sea together!”

"How could this happen?" Su Minggang became a little anxious after hearing this.

How powerful were the Dutch warships? He knew absolutely everything. In the past, when the number of Dutch warships increased, he was already anxious. Every time a warship came, he made a report in the chat group. However, neither the Governor nor the Emperor showed any signs of panic.

Sometimes, Su Minggang suspected that they didn't know how powerful the Dutch warships were. But he was not brave enough to question it directly. Now, seventy-five Dutch warships went out at once. They definitely don't go out to do good things. As for the enemy here now, Daming is their biggest enemy, and only Daming is worthy of dispatching so many warships.

Thinking this way, he became anxious and quickly said to Su Minglun: "I will report it to the court immediately."

As he spoke, he had already made a decision in his heart. Regardless of whether the emperor would be angry or not, he must remind him this time.

Entering the chat group, he immediately reported the situation, and then gritted his teeth and added: "Your Majesty, Lord Governor, the Dutch warships are very powerful. The common people think that even one of their warships can... can defeat our Ming Dynasty. Five warships. Really, the common people are telling the truth. They absolutely dare not lie to you. Your Majesty and the Governor are also asked to be careful. The Dutch... The Dutch dispatched seventy-five warships, and even the red-haired soldiers were There are almost 20,000 people!”

His status determines that the information he obtains is limited. Emperor Chongzhen knew better than him that the first stop of the Dutch dispatch of so many warships was to Temasek. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen happened to be online and answered him: "Haha, don't worry, it's just the Dutch warships, they are all outdated. Don't worry, I know it well!"

Hearing this, Su Minggang's heart skipped a beat. Did the emperor not believe his words, or underestimate the enemy? This would lead to a big loss!
