Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 370 The Dutch Are Here Again
The Ming army went all the way like a broken bamboo, first went to Kyushu, then entered Honshu, and then went to the four countries. It is really unstoppable.

Although the Tokugawa shogunate assembled an army of 40 to fight desperately, the gap in weapons and equipment was too large, so there was no need to fight at all.

The 40 troops of the Izumo Kingdom were wiped out in the First World War, and even the coach Maeda Toshitsune committed suicide and apologized.

It seems that Dongpu has no chance of turning the tables, and it seems that it is only a matter of time before its demise.

Will the Tokugawa shogunate give up resistance?

Of course that is impossible!

Tokugawa Hidetada did not gather an army to deliver food anymore, he chose to resist layer by layer.

That is to send cronies to the various vassal states to supervise the army, and force the vassal states to recruit young men, build barriers, dig down roads, destroy bridges, set traps, build defense lines, and resist the Ming army's attack layer by layer.

It seems that doing this can only delay time. No matter how much you resist, it seems that it can't change the fate of Japan's demise.

However, in this way, it did cause a lot of trouble for the Ming army.

In the next month or so, Taichang led his army to take down Bizen, Bichu, Bingo, Inaba, and Hoki, but the speed of advance was not as good as before.

Moreover, the more you move forward, the more difficult it will be. The countries in Japan have gone crazy, digging up all the roads and bridges, and there are barriers and ambushes everywhere.

As a result, the number of casualties in Shenji Battalion and Shenwu Battalion became more and more, more and more
At this moment, they have to be careful when walking, because they may suddenly roll down a pile of boulders, or smash a row of giant trees, or even walk in some places, and they will collapse into a huge pit!
People from Dongying did this, and Taichang didn't have any good countermeasures.

He could only order Shenji Battalion and Shenwu Battalion to stop and repair first, and wait for the guards behind to come to make up for the battle damage, while guarding the captured territory.

Unexpectedly, before the next batch of guards came, he had an unexpected person waiting.

This guy Carinho actually came to Japan to find him!

To be honest, Tae Chang has no dislike for this guy.

And it happens to be free right now.

After thinking about it for a while, he ordered Lu Xiangsheng, Minister of the Ministry of War, to stay on the front line to coordinate the overall situation, and then he led the Beiyang Navy fleet to Zhenwa City.

The fleet led by Carinho is currently docking at Dongyang Port.

Dongyang Port was built with reference to Taicang Port, and it also comes with a new Dongyang City.

This scene has already shocked Carinho beyond belief.

Because there are not many such big port cities in the whole of Europe, yet the Ming Empire actually built two identical ones!

Of course, this is not a big deal, Zhenwa City next to Dongyang Port is scary.

This kind of fortress built on the top of the mountain is not without it.

The problem, the scale of this fortress is too scary. There is a city on the top of the mountain, and the two circles below are even bigger and scary, and the densely packed artillery makes people's scalp numb. The whole continent is not so majestic. O fortress!

He was standing at the bow of the ship watching all this dumbfounded, when countless soldiers of the Ming army suddenly swarmed into the port.

After a while, the entire port was blocked by the Ming army.

Soon, row after row of soldiers of the Ming army rushed to the docks and lined up neatly.

Immediately afterwards, a man in a dragon robe appeared on the largest pier in the middle with a group of civil servants and generals.

Uh, it doesn't seem like this battle is here to welcome him.

Because the place where he docked was the far right of this row of large piers, not the middle.

Carinho found in embarrassment that people didn't seem to look at him at all.

Of course Tang Wang Zhu Yujian didn't come to greet Carinho, he came to greet Taichang.

Of course, it's not that he doesn't take Carinho, the Spanish governor, into his eyes, he just doesn't have time to greet him in person.

At this moment, Carinho is already the governor of Luzon. The reason why he did not come to Ming Dynasty last year is because he went back to Europe to fight for this position.

It's just that I didn't expect that after he was promoted to governor, he came to look for His Majesty the Emperor of Ming, but no one paid him any attention.

Fortunately, soon, Zheng Zhilong ran to the pier where he was docked, smiled and cupped his hands and said: "My lord governor, congratulations."

This guy is here too, which is great!

Seeing that he was an old acquaintance, Carinho immediately ran off the boat, leaned forward and said eagerly: "Nicholas, long time no see, what are you up to?"

Zheng Zhilong said rather modestly: "Our emperor appointed me a director of the Daming Western Company, and we are now developing business here in Dongying."

When Carinho heard this, he couldn't help asking curiously: "What does the Daming Western Company do?"

By the way, Oulu calls a firm a company.

Zheng Zhilong quickly explained: "The Daming Western Company is similar to the Dutch East India Company, they do business all over the world."

For cakes, the Daming Western Company is almost the same as the Dutch East India Company!
And this guy is a director!

This director is much better than him, because he can earn money for three years, and he can earn money for a lifetime!

Carinho couldn't help but enviously said: "Nicholas, you've made a fortune now."

That's not.

Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but proudly said: "Our Daming Western Company has just been established, and the business has not yet fully developed, and there is not much profit at the moment."

Once the business is fully launched, he will really make a fortune, and he will be responsible for the robbery at that time!

Obviously, the more he talked, the more energetic he was.

Carlinio didn't want to continue talking about this topic, because he didn't come to Dongying to find Zheng Zhilong, nor did he come to inquire about some Western companies in Ming Dynasty.

He looked at Tang Wang Zhu Yujian in the distance, and couldn't help asking: "Nicholas, who is that, and what is he doing there?"

Oops, almost forgot the business.

Zheng Zhilong quickly explained: "That's His Royal Highness Tang, His Royal Highness Tang is the prince of our Daming royal family, he is waiting there to welcome our Emperor, and our Emperor's fleet is coming soon, Mr. Governor, how about you go with me?" I'll go to greet you."

That is a must!

I'm here to find your Majesty the Emperor!
Carinho hurriedly said: "Nicholas, why didn't you say it earlier, I can't be rude in front of your majesty the emperor, let's go, let's go there quickly."

It's a good thing they run fast, otherwise it would be really rude.

He just followed Zheng Zhilong to the pier in the middle, and hurriedly greeted Tang Wang Zhu Yujian, when a huge fleet appeared on the sea in the distance.

Taichang has already rushed over with the Beiyang Navy fleet.

Because the fleet led by Carinho was all sailing ships, and the speed was incomparable to that of the Spike warships and wheels, so he just led the fleet from the direction of Taicang Port to Taichang, and then arrived.

When an Aegis ship, [-] dragon-tooth warships and a dense group of wolf-tooth warships poured into the port, Carinho was stunned again.

The strength of the Ming Empire is simply too terrifying, it seems that every time he comes over, he can see even more terrifying things.

This time, what he saw turned out to be an invincible fleet!
This is truly an armada.

At this moment, the strength of the Beiyang Navy fleet has even surpassed the original Spanish Armada!

The aegis ship covered with iron armor is a real invincible warship.

The Aegis ship is really too advanced, and many functions far surpass other warships.

For example, landing at a pier.

Aegis ships can berth at all kinds of docks, large, medium and small, as long as the water level of the dock is deep enough.

If it is a relatively low dock like the one where the Spike warship docks, you can directly open the bottom hatch to land quickly.

If it is a medium-sized wharf where Fuchuan and large merchant ships dock, you can also land quickly by directly opening the middle hatch and adding a ladder.

If it was a large dock like the one where the Dragon Tooth battleship docked, a large piece of the eaves-style armor on the top floor could be turned down directly from the middle, like a suspension bridge to the dock, it would be a huge hanging ladder.

Carinho was stunned when he saw such a terrifying warship.

He was in a daze, but Taichang walked down with a smile on his face, and greeted everyone cordially.

What's the matter with this guy?

Taichang saw that Carlinio seemed to be frozen, standing there motionless, he couldn't help walking up and asked curiously: "Carlinio, what's wrong with you?"

When Carinho heard the words, he came to his senses and quickly stroked his chest and saluted, "See His Majesty the Emperor."

Taichang nodded slightly, and then asked: "Why are you in such a hurry to come to Dongpu to find me?"

That is of course a big deal.

Carinho couldn't help but solemnly said: "Your Majesty, we found that the Dutch are mobilizing warships to the Far East. They seem to be preparing to launch a large-scale attack on your Ming Empire!"

Are these guys still here?
