Daming Crazy Emperor

Prince Kong Dai originally thought that His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire would leave him to the Canary Islands after he had arranged a mission for him.

After all, he is the prince of France, from the hostile forces of the Ming Empire, if he doesn't work hard to make some achievements, why would he help him ascend to the throne of king.

Unexpectedly, after getting a general idea of ​​the situation with Zhang Mingshi, Taichang actually summoned a dreadnought and sent him back to Dakar himself.

This courtesy really flattered him.

However, Taichang didn't just want to send Prince Kong Dai back to Dakar, he wanted to come to see Prince Kong Dai's strength in person.

He is not the kind of person who doesn't care about anything after assigning a task, just let the people below do their best.

The task of Prince Kong Dai is not easy, he must ensure that others have the ability to complete the task.

Otherwise, if he can't complete the task of cutting off the channel, he will be cheating, and it's not others, but himself.

As a result, when he saw the hundreds of so-called warships of Prince Kong Dai, he was a little speechless.

What kind of warship is this? This is a fake armed merchant ship!

Can a hundred imitation armed merchant ships complete the task of cutting off the waterway between continental Europe and Africa?

This is obviously impossible.

He turned the binoculars and scanned carefully, then sighed slightly: "Prince Condé, your warships are too backward, it may be difficult to block the fleet of the Continental Alliance."

Who said no?
I told you all, but you didn't believe me.

Of course Prince Kong Dai didn't dare to speak like that, he could only say embarrassingly: "Your Majesty, I will try my best, I will try my best."

I am not asking you to do your best, this channel must be cut off!

Taichang thought for a while, and then said decisively: "Mingshi, you go and send two hundred armed merchant ships over here, and then send a fast boat to Xinma City to convey my will, and ask them to send two hundred ships of steel bars, cement and timber, and by the way When a thousand Spike warships come over, they all have to be equipped with city defense guns.

In addition, let Bogong send a head of the Ministry of Industry who can build ships. "

Hearing this, Zhang Mingshi hurriedly bowed and left.

Taichang thought for a while, then asked again: "How many people do you have?"

Prince Kong Dai hurriedly said honestly: "I have a total of less than 7 people, including about [-] in the navy and about [-] in the army."

This man and horse is almost enough, but the firepower is a bit insufficient.

Taichang thought for a while, then asked: "Look at the machines on your ship, some of them are used for shipbuilding, right?"

You can see this!

Prince Kong Dai was stunned for a moment, and then explained in detail: "Yes, Your Majesty, the machines I brought are all for guns and ships.

Moreover, I have nearly [-] craftsmen under my command. They have been doing these things for several years, and they are all relatively proficient. "

Well, that's about it.

At this time, Zhang Mingshi had also dispatched two hundred armed merchant ships, and ordered people to go to Xinma City to pass the decree.

Seeing this, Taichang said without hesitation: "Go and let all your army and craftsmen board the merchant ships, we will set off later, and go to the Canary Islands to see.

By the way, those warships of yours have hung the flag of France, and it will be more convenient to take the Canary Islands by then. "

...

When Prince Kong Dai heard the words, he quickly bowed and saluted, and then walked down quickly.

Looking at Prince Kong Dai's back, Zhang Mingshi couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, are you going to the Canary Islands too?"

Taichang nodded slightly and said: "Yes, it is too important for us to cut off the waterway from Africa to the continent of Europe. We can't do it ourselves, so we must ensure that Prince Kong Dai can successfully complete this task.

With his strength, it is very difficult to complete this task. Even if we support him with some armed merchant ships and Spike warships, he may not be able to withstand the European Union's counterattack.

Therefore, we must help him build an iron barrel-like fortress in the Canary Islands to ensure their safety.

If I don't go and see it, I'm really worried. "

Well, since the emperor must go, let's wait to ensure the safety of the emperor.

Zhang Mingshi immediately suggested: "Your Majesty, why don't we take all the fifty Aegis ships here, not afraid of [-], just in case."

Taichang thought for a while, then nodded slightly and said: "Okay, when the time comes, the Aegis ships will also be used for the transfer of manpower, you go and order them to drive forty Aegis ships to follow, this place is so important, at least you have to keep some of them." Ten Aegis ships guarded it.

In addition, you send the Clippers to notify Zuma and ask him to gather 20 horses at the nearest port to the Canary Islands. "

The Canary Islands are actually only about [-] miles away from Dakar, and the fleet sailed along the West African coastline for three days.

At this time, the Canary Islands had not yet been developed. Except for the port on the largest main island, the other islands were still inaccessible, and there was no sign of development at all.

Taichang turned the binoculars, scanned the port wharf built by the Spaniards, roughly estimated the defenders on it, and then issued an order: "Order, order Prince Kong Dai to bring people up."

They are a dreadnought ship and forty Aegis ships. These two types of warships are unique to the Ming Empire, and they must be able to tell at a glance.

The ships led by Prince Condé are different. Although there are two hundred armed merchant ships behind them, the hundreds of ships in front are all ships of the European Union standard standard, and they are still flying the flag of France. , people should not doubt it.

At this moment, there are actually only a few hundred defenders on the island, and there are not many coastal defense artillery. If they want to rush up, they can easily take it down.

The problem is that this will be the residence of Prince Condé in the future, and he doesn't want to tear up the buildings near the port wharf, leaving no place for Prince Condé's subordinates to live.

Therefore, he just led forty Aegis ships to follow far behind, and did not approach the port pier.

Of course, Prince Kong Dai understood what Taichang meant. He was asking him to go up and carry out a sneak attack. This is not too simple.

He thought for a while, and then said to Minuint who was on the side: "Pretend to be a Spanish liaison officer, go up to talk to someone, and say that the European Union sent French troops to strengthen the defense in order to prevent the West African Kingdom from occupying the Canary Islands.

By the way, don't reveal my identity, just say that I am a general of the French Army. "

Well, his Spanish is indeed the best among the three.

Minuyint could only pretend to be a liaison officer, strode off the boat, and boasted to others with a proud face.

...

He was born as a businessman, so if he can get into the position of overseas governor, his eloquence is of course extremely good.

The defenders here did not expect the French to seize the island.

After all, this was originally a transit point from Europe to Africa, and fleets from various countries often came here to replenish fresh water and food.

Especially after the Cape Verde Islands were occupied by the Ming Empire, the number of fleets that came here to replenish more than doubled. Basically, several fleets would come here every month.

They have also seen the French fleet, and there is nothing wrong with the flag and standard, so they will naturally not doubt it.

They were just a little curious, why did these Frenchmen bring so many strange things here.

After Minuyinte's nonsense, they seemed to understand that he was here to help them guard this important supply point.

Not long after, the Spanish captain who was stationed here followed Minuint to the hanging ladder.

Prince Kong Dai also changed into the standard uniform of the French army at this moment.

He directly got off the boat with a group of personal guards with no expression on his face, pretended to talk to them perfunctorily, and then waved his hand, ordering his men to get off the boat quickly.

To be honest, the Spanish captain stationed here has long been terrified.

Because he had already received news that the 60 troops of Spain and the Holy Roman Empire were almost wiped out by the West African Kingdom, and the West African Kingdom even took down the Ceuta Fortress.

This little man in his hand is a fart in front of the West African kingdom.

They can crush them to death by sending tens of thousands of people at random.

Can he not be afraid in this situation?

Seeing the densely packed French army pouring down from the ship, he was even a little secretly glad.

Now it's all right, France has sent so many people over to support him, so he finally doesn't have to worry about it.

Prince Kong Dai stood there proudly, as if he couldn't get up, and the captain didn't dare to come forward to talk to him.

After all, he is an admiral, with tens of thousands of people under his command, so a little captain like him is a fart in his eyes.

He could only stand on the side obediently, just like standing guard.

Prince Kong Dai saw that his army had almost disembarked, and almost all the vicinity of the port wharf was secretly controlled by them, so he asked blankly, "How many troops do you have under your command?"

It turns out that the admiral can also speak Spanish.

The captain quickly replied: "I have a total of 500 people under my command."

Prince Kong Dai shook his head slightly and said: "You are useless, you don't need to worry about the guards at the port, and you will be responsible for the supply of the fleet from now on.

By the way, let your people hand over the defense and gather by the pier.

I still have a lot of supplies to move down here, you can ask them to help lead the way and see where they are stored. "

Oops, this is great.

Their supplies are not free, even if it is Danshui, they have to charge money, and the Lilan in it is quite large.

He really didn't expect that the admiral didn't care about the money at all.

The captain gave a military salute without hesitation, and walked away.

Minuyinte looked at his back and couldn't help but smiled slightly: "This guy doesn't seem to be very smart, he is too easy to deceive."

...

Prince Kong Dai said calmly: "It's just a captain, how smart do you think he is?"

Well, I don't know whether Minuyinte's eloquence is too good, or the captain here is too stupid. They didn't even have time to forge official documents, but the captain here didn't suspect it at all.

This guy was even quite active, and the speed of the defense change was so fast. In less than a quarter of an hour, he handed over the defense of all the forts and fortifications to the French army.

Prince Condé saw the guy coming in a neat line with his men, and then he winked at the generals by the pier.

Those generals immediately acted as if they were about to board the ship to carry goods, and commanded their men to quickly surround the five hundred defenders here.

Seeing this, Prince Kong Dai shouted without hesitation: "Take it."

With a bang, tens of thousands of horses near the pier immediately raised their weapons and aimed at the poor 500 people in the middle.

Seeing this, the captain couldn't help but turn pale in shock and said, "What are you doing?"

What?
Minuyinte walked over and smiled slightly: "You don't need to know what we are doing, quickly put down your weapons and surrender, I will guarantee that you will not die, otherwise, hehe."

Well, 500 people are against tens of thousands of people, and their weapons are aimed at them. If they don't surrender, they will definitely die.

After all, even if they had muskets, it would take time to load ammunition. If they dared to load ammunition in full view, it would be no wonder they wouldn't be beaten into a sieve.

The captain could only order helplessly: "Put down your weapons and surrender."

The Canary Islands were taken by Prince Condé in this way, and a good show ended like this.

Taichang rubbed his eyes slightly, then sighed: "This guy really has some skills."

Is it better for the puppet to be capable or not?

Zhang Mingshi didn't know either, he could only nod his head repeatedly and said: "The emperor is wise."
