Chongzhen Undergraduates

Shi Lang thought for a while after listening to these people's words, and then he dragged a single knife to the front of the municipal square.

"You, stand up for me." Shi Lang pointed to the interpreter beside Tasman.

The interpreter tremblingly walked to Shi Lang's side, he could already see the strong killing intent on the Chinese general's face.

"Who is the most unnecessary position in the army?" Shi Lang asked, staring at a group of Dutch soldiers who had surrendered.

The interpreter went on and on for a long time, and finally translated Shi Lang's words.Then several Dutch officers held their heads high, as if they were the most indispensable.

"Who is the biggest official?" Shi Lang asked again.

"My position is lieutenant colonel, and these are my subordinates." A middle-aged man dressed in fancy clothes, but with the highest minibus, stood up proudly.That posture was even more arrogant than Shi Lang.

"Oh, so you are the most redundant person." Shi Lang said as he thrust the knife into the Dutch lieutenant colonel's chest.

"You, you can't treat a senior officer like this..." The lieutenant colonel couldn't believe that he was the first to die.According to their understanding, after the enemy captured them, they would definitely continue to rely on them to maintain military discipline.

"Who told me now that he is useful? If someone is useless, I don't mind hanging him later." Shi Lang asked, licking the blood on the blade with his tongue.

All of a sudden, all the Dutch understood what the Chinese general was talking about.What the Chinese need is not nobles and positions, what they need is whether you are useful.

"My lord, I will shoot."

"I'll fire."

"I, I will pray."

"Drag this one who knows how to pray and hang him."

……

Shi Lang set his head up in advance, and the next thing will be easy to handle.Including all the staff and employees of the East India Company, those who don't want to die must cheer up and work for the Ming army. Even Governor Tasman must be responsible to Shi Lang.

The Dutch East India Company has a total of 150 warships in Southeast Asia, and they are basically sent out now, but they will receive news soon; there are 300 merchant ships, half of which are armed merchant ships; there are [-] employees, more than [-] There are several commercial stations, distributed on large and small islands throughout Southeast Asia.

"How many merchant ships are there around Batavia?" Shi Lang was not polite to the Dutchman, he sat on the round table in the city hall, and threw a gun on the table with a bang.

The most knowledgeable group of employees in the company gave Tasman a trembling look, and no one dared to answer now.

"Sir, do you know what you are doing? My great motherland will not let it go, you have violated the laws of our country..."

Tasman thought that after the group of Chinese robbed gold, silver and goods, they would kill or set fire immediately.

However, these people have been very polite so far. They only killed some people who did not matter to them, but left a complete framework of the East India Company colony.

Tasman realized what the other party wanted to do. If the other party really did it, it would mean that the efforts of the Dutch for more than 100 years were all in vain.

With a "snap", Shi Lang's gun rang out.

There is an extra bullet hole in Tasman's head, Da Ming doesn't need a governor of the East India Company, Da Ming would rather have one more ordinary company employee.

"Can you tell me now?" Shi Lang blew on the smoke from the gun.

Chapter 584: The first industrial shipbuilding industry

What is Shi Lang going to do?

He wanted to rob more than [-] commercial stations around the Java Sea, including nearly [-] merchant ships and all employees scattered around the entire city of Bacheng.

This is not a bold idea, it is purely the result of Shi Lang's expansion of ambition.

With the strength of the Ming army, at best, after successfully robbing Bacheng, they would transport away all the gold and silver, and then leave with a large sum of money.According to Zhu Youjian's plan, after the successful robbery, the fleet should be able to reach the Xisha Islands, and then the imperial court sent Zheng's Donghai Navy to meet them.

When the Dutch catch up to Xisha, they will not be able to fight Da Ming in a bloody battle, so they can only wait until next year when they are ready to fight.

But Shi Lang didn't think so, the so-called generals abroad were not allowed to accept military orders.What Shi Lang thought was that he had nearly a division of marines in his hands, ten warships, and a whole transport fleet.

Although this kind of power cannot match the power of the Dutch in the entire Southeast Asia, it is also enough to match the navy of a major country in South Asia.

"Shi Lang, you should think about it. If something happens, you will lose your head." Feng Xin stopped Shi Lang and said

As a young man, he admired Shi Lang's courage, but as the observer of this battle ordered by Zhu Youjian, Feng Xin was actually the eyeliner of the biggest emperor.

"Don't say that this is a complete East India Company, but these Chinese laborers who have helped us, can we leave them?" Shi Lang pointed to the busy Chinese laborers outside.

If the Ming army really did not take them away, the Dutch would definitely retaliate bloodily. I am afraid that none of the Chinese workers here would survive.

"You pay me a low price, what are you going to do." Feng Xin asked seriously.

"After robbing all the surrounding commercial stations, let Wu Liuqi stay with me. Add these foreign devil soldiers, and I will recruit some smarter natives to form a division. That's enough." Shi Lang replied.

Shi Lang knew in his heart that this was his chance.If he went back like this this time and came back next time, even if he was the commander of a million-strong army like Li Dingguo, he would have no chance to be crowned king.

But if he expands the territory for Ming Dynasty overseas, there may still be a glimmer of life, which can be compared to Zheng Chenggong's achievements in taking Taiwan.

He bet the rest of his life.

In the end, Shi Lang used one and a half regiments of marines, plus a regiment of South China Sea pirates sailors that he had incorporated himself, plus [-] Dutch soldiers, some Chinese laborers who voluntarily joined, and Java natives to form the Ming Dynasty. The first mercenary division.

"Shi Lang, you really don't intend to leave with us?" Liu Guoxuan shook his head and said as he looked at the miscellaneous troops dressed in several kinds of military uniforms.

"Go back and report to the emperor. Shi Lang is waiting for Ming's army here. If the emperor sends troops here before I die, this will be the territory of Ming. I will stand up the flag of Ming until the last moment." Shi Lang said.

……

The coolness of late autumn hits, Zhu Youjian has put on the latest woolen sweater, but still feels a little cold.

With a "snap", he smashed the memorial on the table.

In today's Ming Dynasty, after the institutional reform, the emperor no longer needs to go to court every morning.Correspondingly, hundreds of officials do not need to stand together every day to discuss national affairs.

What kind of matter has a corresponding departmental division of labor, and what can be solved by each department can be solved by each department.If there is a major issue that cannot be resolved, it will be submitted to the cabinet, and the chief assistant of the cabinet will preside over a meeting to discuss a solution.

In addition, the country's major policies must be presided over by the emperor at the cabinet meeting, and then the responsible departments and policy research offices will hold a joint meeting to study.

This greatly reduced the workload of the emperor, divided the specific powers of the cabinet, and concentrated the wisdom of everyone at the strategic level.

Zhu Youjian really didn't expect Shi Lang to take him into the army and give him such a big bait.

"He Shi Lang really dares to do it. The East India Company is really greedy. Even I dare not think about it, so he dared to send it to me." Zhu Youjian couldn't laugh or cry. Of course he also liked the world's first joint-stock East. Indian company, but this thing is too hot!

"It doesn't matter, they are all Ming's army, and they are playing with the national flag of Ming. Java has always been a vassal state of our country, how can he let his little Dutch country do whatever it wants." Li Yan smiled slightly. How can you not know Zhu Youjian's thoughts.

Zhu Youjian, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, tried his best to provoke troubles in Nanyang.The so-called money grabbing is clear grabbing.

Originally, Zhu Youjian planned to ask a certain small country in Nanyang to ask Ming to send troops, but now it's all over, there is no need for such reasons.

The next day, Jin Shengtan published a large-scale newspaper about a small Dutch country daring to encircle a division of our South China Sea Marine Division with an army of tens of thousands, and even attempting to kill our nationals and snatch our islands. .
