Daming Crazy Emperor

Fort Condé was finally built, and this place name was specially chosen by Taichang for Prince Condé.

Because he found that Europeans like to use personal names as place names, such as Victoria, Georgetown, Louisiana, Columbia, Petersburg, etc., and those who can be used as city names are basically either kings or emperors. Perhaps this is also a moral Bar.

Prince Kong Dai was naturally very grateful, and he was too excited.

These days, he seemed to be in a dream, as if the city, docks, docks, barracks, factories, houses, etc. were all built when he woke up.

The speed of the Ming Empire is truly terrifying.

At this moment, except for the bastions on the hills on both sides, everything else has been built, and even the city defense guns and coastal defense guns that Taichang said were transported from America.

Prince Kong Dai watched the warships equipped with new artillery continuously come out of the dock, and finally couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, when will we start to cut off the waterway?"

Are you afraid that you want to steal something?

Taichang calmly said: "Don't worry, our main goal is to cut off the strategic materials shipped from Africa to Europe.

That is to say, we don't have to worry about the ships from Europe going to Africa for the time being, and you can grab them after they come back full of supplies.

As for when to grab it, I have already arranged it for you.

All ships coming from southern Africa must pass through the waters near the Cape Verde Islands. I have ordered the fast boats to scatter and inspect the line between Cape Verde and Dakar. As long as there is a fleet coming from the south, it will definitely not escape. their eyes and ears.

We will tell you the news more than one day in advance, you have plenty of time to prepare. "

What he was talking about was actually the flying dragon warships with good camouflage effects. There was no naval battle to fight at the moment anyway, and those flying dragon warships were also idle.

People didn't even know it was discovered.

While the two were talking, a command flag was suddenly waved on the sentry tower at the front entrance, as if some ship was approaching here.

Zhang Yuanfang quickly turned the binoculars to scan over.

He took a closer look, then raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, it's a Dutch warship. It seems to be the one sent by Prince Condé."

Taichang bent down and turned the binoculars to scan, and it was indeed Minuit who had returned.

Minuit was also in a daze at the moment.

When he went to Europe, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire seemed to want to expand the city on the main island, but he ran back and saw that there was no change at all on the main island, even the fleet led by Prince Kong Dai was gone. trace.

What's even more outrageous is that it was the original Spanish captain Cavallo who greeted him.

They also told him quite earnestly that Prince Condé had gone to the westernmost island to build a city.

What exactly is going on?

He even once wondered if Prince Condé had been beaten away by the Spaniards.

The problem is that Cavallo's earnest appearance doesn't seem to be deceiving him.

He had no choice but to order his cronies to drive over to look for it.

As a result, when he ran here, he didn't see Prince Condé's people at all. Instead, he saw a group of black mercenaries building a bastion on the hill. …

To be honest, he was a little afraid to approach, because he was afraid that people would misunderstand that he was really a Dutch colonist and shoot him directly.

The problem is that he doesn't seem to see anyone in other places!

How to do it?

Seeing his bewildered look, Taichang couldn't help but smiled slightly and said, "Go out and pick up Minuit, he doesn't seem to dare to come over."

Upon hearing this, Prince Kong Dai hurriedly disembarked from the flagship, directly boarded a remodeled warship, and ordered people to drive out.

Not long after, he returned with Minuit.

At this moment, Minuit was even more confused. He really didn't expect that such a large city was hidden behind the coral reef, and there were densely packed piers, docks and ships inside.

How long has it been!
How are these built?
Seeing his appearance, Taichang couldn't help but smiled and said, "What's wrong with you, are you seasick?"

Minuit shook his head quickly and said, "No, no, by the way, Duke Richelieu also wrote back to Turenne."

After finishing speaking, he took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it over respectfully.

Naturally, Taichang wouldn't pick it up, and he couldn't understand it.

He could only look helplessly at the director of the Ministry of Rites.

This language barrier is really a bit troublesome, he said with emotion: "You should learn Daming official dialect when you have time, otherwise you have to bring a few passers-by every time you talk to you, it's too troublesome."

Prince Condé and Minuit nodded quickly and said, "Okay, okay, we must learn."

Duke Richelieu's reply also contained a lot of useful information.

He even asked Turenne to quickly send people to cut rubber, mine copper and iron ore, and then borrow a hundred warships from the Dutch and the British and send them directly back to France.

As for the Dutch wanting rubber and copper, they had to exchange sailboats, one sailboat for the rubber and copper used to transform ten sailboats.

To be honest, he was robbing money or a ship.

This also proves from the side that there are basically no ships in France now, and the Duke of Richelieu is going crazy, otherwise he wouldn't be so crazy about grabbing the sailboats of the Dutch.

Very good, let him grab it, it is best to grab it so that the two sides turn their faces and quarrel.

After listening to Tongshi's translation, Taichang nodded slightly and said, "Well, there is no need to exchange this letter, it will be sent directly to Angola."

Uh, this.

Minuit was quite worried: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid I can't take my men to Angola to deliver a letter. Even if Turenne doesn't know me, the Dutch over there must know the people on the original battleship. In the past, I am afraid that people will find out."

This is indeed a problem.

Taichang frowned and pondered for a while, then asked: "The ships and warships built by all countries in the European Union are similar, right?"

Minuit nodded repeatedly: "Yes, the shipbuilding blueprints of the countries of the European Continental Union are actually passed down from our Dutch shipyards, so the ships and warships produced are almost the same."

That's it.

Hearing this, Taichang said without hesitation: "This time, let Black and his cronies sail the boat to send the fake courier.

Anyway, the ships and warships built by European countries are similar, as long as the flags on them are replaced with British flags. "...

This method is indeed good, but there is still a big loophole in the problem.

Minuit asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, if someone asks where the original messengers and battleships have gone, how will Black answer?"

Isn't this simple?

Taichang said without hesitation: "It's fine for Black to just say that he doesn't know, anyway, France doesn't have any warships at the moment, and if they want to send letters, they can only borrow them from the UK.

Turenne should also be able to see this from Duke Richelieu's letter. "

do not know?
This means to let Turenne guess for himself!

Well, Turenne may not have imagined that the messenger he sent and the warship he borrowed were captured by them.

Anyway, the letter was indeed written by the Duke of Richelieu, and the sender was indeed French, and it was impossible for Turenne to suspect that the messenger was a fake.

Minuit thought about it again, and felt that there was no problem, so he took the letter in the hands of the official, bowed out and went to find Black to take over.

Taichang looked at his back and pondered for a while, then asked Prince Kong Dai: "Are there many copper mines in Angola?"

Prince Condé said without hesitation: "Angola does not actually have many copper mines, but there are many copper mines in the mountains not far from the western border of Angola, which should be the territory of Britain, Sweden, and Denmark.

But I had taken it early, and since there was no way to the south, the English, Swedes, and Danes left it alone. "

You kid is smart, but it's a pity that all of them were made into wedding dresses for others.

Taichang thought for a while, and then asked again: "Are there no copper mines on the territory occupied by Britain, Sweden and Denmark?"

Prince Kong Dai nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, there are a lot of gold and iron mines over there, but copper mines seem to have not been discovered yet."

It seems that as long as Angola is taken down, the European Union may not be able to build ships and warships.

The problem is that there are more than 30 French troops stationed there, and the Netherlands, Britain, Sweden, and Denmark must all know the importance of Angola. Once they attack, it is estimated that the Netherlands, Britain, Sweden, and Denmark will frantically support them.

At that time, it will be about 100 million against 100 million. Can Lin Chaojie's Black God Army beat others?
Taichang thought about it again, and then asked: "How many cities are there in Angola?"

This is the home of the question, it was his territory in the first place!

Prince Condé said without hesitation: "Originally there was Luanda, a seaside port city. After I occupied it, I expanded Luanda and directly expanded it into a large city that can accommodate more than 10 people.

In addition, I also built two port cities in the south of Luanda that can accommodate about [-] people.

I also built a city that can accommodate about [-] people near the north, west, and south borders of Angola.

If Turenne only leads 5 or even 10 people, I will definitely be able to defend Angola.

The problem is that he claims to have led an army of 40. I was stationed scattered and did not have so many people. I concentrated my troops to guard Luanda and was afraid of being besieged by him, so I had to evacuate Angola. "

You guys are simply too talented to build so many cities.

How do you want us to attack?

If it is a field battle, chariot soldiers have a great advantage. The question is, how can Lin Chaojie attack so many cities in Angola?
Taichang frowned and pondered for a while, then asked again: "How is Turenne's level?"

Prince Condé sighed a bit: "Tirenne can be said to be a rare military genius, and I am not his opponent."

Well, forget about it now.

Lin Chaojie led a million chariots in the past, nine times out of ten, he would not be able to take Angola.

He has to hurry up and get Atlantis recruited and ready for the big battle.

The Battle of Angola is estimated to be the last battle in Africa.

At that time, once they attack Angola, the Netherlands, Britain, Sweden, and Denmark will definitely support frantically. It is estimated that the European Union's nearly one million troops in Africa will be able to take care of the battle.

Perhaps, it is possible to use a siege tactics to fight directly from the north, surround Luanda, and then the navy and infantry are in ambush, waiting for the reinforcements from the Netherlands, Britain, Sweden and Denmark to come to die.

As long as the reinforcements from the Netherlands, Britain, Sweden and Denmark are cleaned up, Turenne's troops are nothing.

Even if they besiege without attacking, they will be able to siege people out of ammunition and food, and have to come out and surrender.

Thinking of this, Taichang waved directly at Wang Chengen and said, "Bring me the map of Africa, and order Mingshi to come here too."
