Domineering Daming

The Dutch fleet stopped ten miles away from Tamsui City, and Putmans and Carlos looked at Tamsui City with binoculars.

It's not very clear, but it can be seen roughly.

This is an "abandoned" newly reclaimed land with a narrow port and few people on the shore. Even the largest Danshui City seems quite "quiet", giving people a sparsely populated, desolate and primitive feeling.

Putmans put down the binoculars and said, "How much do you want?"

Carlos immediately agreed, and a self-confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Five hundred."

Putmans opened his eyes, tilted his head, and said, "I'll give you 1000 people, come to support as soon as possible."

Carlos looked in the direction of Freshwater City, shrugged his shoulders, and said indifferently: "That's fine."

Putmans smiled and sent him three warships, ten merchant ships, 1000 men, and thirty cannons, of which there were only 150 white men.

When Carlos led 1000 people towards Freshwater City, Putmans led the others to continue southward.

They came this time to completely occupy Taiwan, apart from Tamsui City, there is also Anping City.

The Spaniards were the first to know about this situation. Oquendo stared at the report, unable to speak for a while.

The young man beside him said: "General, it seems that the Dutch didn't intend to share Taiwan equally with us at the beginning, but wanted to occupy Taiwan alone."

Oquendo's expression remained unchanged. After a while, he looked at him and said, "The Dutch will attract all the attention of the Ming Kingdom for us. Do you think it is more appropriate for us to occupy it? Before that, you have to talk about the nearby small The bugs were all chased away."

The young man had already noticed that there were some small boats following nearby, and said, "Yes, I will discuss with Your Excellency the General later which islands we want to acquire."

Oquendo kept his expression unchanged for thousands of years, stroked his beard, and continued to look forward with his big belly.

Xiong Wencan, Zhu Yujian and others soon learned of the news of the Dutch division, and their intuition was unbelievable.

Is the red-haired man crazy?Where did they get the confidence to think that the Ming Dynasty was vulnerable? A mixed army of 1000 people wants to occupy a city where more than a dozen people live?

Chapter 745

General Liu Jingming and Captain Obai of Danshui City soon learned that 1000 people were coming to attack.

Aobai was tall and burly, he was very resentful when he heard it, and said angrily: "My lord, the red-haired ghost bullied me too much! The last general will go directly to the sea and lead the navy to wipe them out at sea, to see if he still dares to bully me Daming has no one!"

Liu Jingming didn't speak, but heaved a sigh of relief.

The navy has been tense for as long as it has been established. This tension comes from the emperor's pressure on the navy. Especially recently, the emperor has repeatedly emphasized the need to win, which has put a lot of pressure on them.

Hearing that only 1000 people came, Liu Jingming did not secretly rejoice, but just let out a sigh of relief—no matter what else happened, his Danshui City will definitely be preserved, and he will live up to the trust of the emperor and the high-level navy!

Seeing that Liu Jingming didn't speak, Obai said again: "My lord, there are only a dozen or so boats. In the end, they will be easily sunk. I guarantee that no one will be able to get ashore!"

Liu Jingming came back to his senses at this moment, looked at him solemnly and said: "Don't worry, the Dutch army hasn't left yet, so don't disturb them, otherwise it will be bad for the future battle."

Aobai is not an idiot either, he also felt reasonable after hearing the words, and said: "My lord, I will lead them into the first position and destroy them with cannons!"

Liu Jingming sneered faintly, and said: "Delay time first and let their main fleet leave. If you can deal with them in the first position, you are welcome! Also, order the fleet to hide well. Once the battle starts, seize the ship first!"

Aobai's eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "Your Excellency is wise, I will make arrangements for this!"

Liu Jingming nodded slightly, worry flashed in his eyes.He breathed a sigh of relief, but the pressure on Anping City increased greatly.

Carlos stood at the bow of the ship, and the binoculars were always looking ahead, where there was an extremely suitable port for landing, the shoal.

Of the thirteen ships, less than half of them had guns in their hands, and the rest were armed with weapons such as knives and spears.They looked ahead eagerly.Every time they can get a lot of benefits, although far less than these foreigners, but also quite considerable, so they are also quite desperate.

"Well, another good place for a lot of money."

Carlos turned the binoculars, and he has seen many interesting places, such as neat fields, water conservancy facilities, and tall drum towers. Obviously, the land has been reclaimed well and will save a lot of trouble, so he is very happy.

A guard beside him held a gun and said, "Major, as before, directly defeat their main force and force them to surrender?"

Carlos put down the binoculars and said, "Yes, find their important places, draw them over, and then shoot, it's as simple as that."

The reason why European colonists can be arrogant overseas is because of their superior firearms, most of the cold weapons are not their opponents.They have become accustomed to using this method of intimidation to force the conquered to surrender, sign unequal treaties, occupy and rule an area.

"Yes!"

The soldiers were very familiar with this routine, holding their guns excitedly, and waiting for the ship to dock.

When they were less than 500 meters away from the shore, some people in peasant clothes appeared on the shore, dozens of men and women, all looking at them "curiously", whispering to each other, as if they were discussing something.

When Carlos saw it, he immediately laughed: "Hey, guys, let the yellow-skinned monkey see how good we are, and lead us the way!"

"Oh oh oh~"

The white men in the clothes shouted excitedly, raised their guns one after another, and shot at the group of "common people".

Puff puff!

Still a little far away, these bullets were shot into the water, making a crisp muffled sound.

The "common people" on the shore seemed to be frightened, and they scattered like birds and beasts.

"Hahaha……"

Carlos and a group of white men laughed wantonly.Then the Filipinos also laughed awkwardly.

"Quick, go ashore and follow them!"

Carlos laughed for a while and said loudly.

"Woooooo~"

The people on the boat yelled, urging to speed up and get to the shore quickly.

Carlos went ashore surrounded by a group of people, looked at it more clearly than a telescope, and said, "It's very good, better than I expected, guys, this is a treasure, and it belongs to us!"

"rush!"

The soldiers rushed forward without waiting for his order, chasing after the "scared people" just now, and ran in the direction of Danshui City.

Carlos held a long golden spear in his hand, and ran among the crowd, observing both sides with interest, with a smug smile in his eyes.

Naturally, this place is not as good as Europe. It is obviously newly developed, and there is still a "barren" atmosphere everywhere, but the more it is like this, the more precious it is!

There was an archway in front of Tamsui City. Liu Jingming stood on the archway and observed it with a telescope.

After a while, he said: "Order Oboi to delay in the first line, order the fleet to seize the ship as soon as the gunshots are fired, and then order the artillery to prepare!"

"Obey!" The soldiers with flags responded and began to wave the flags.

Although there was no big basket in order to prevent the Dutch from seeing the flaws, the semaphore was passed without any accidents, and it was quietly spread all over the place.
