Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 566 How to Deal with the Overlord of the Far East
On the channel from New Amsterdam to Quebec, a warship of the Dutch Navy was sailing slowly north with a slight northwesterly wind.

The Prince of Condé, the Earl of Black, and Minuit all stood at the bow, facing the wind.

They can be regarded as the survivors of the catastrophe, but there is no excitement on the faces of the three of them.

Prince Condé just frowned and pondered, while Earl Black and Minuit both had mournful faces, as if mourning their concubine.

The two of them lost all their colonies, and all their subordinates were captured by the Ming Empire. How can they explain it when they go back!
Especially Minuit, he recruited the Dutch naval fleet that was waiting for an opportunity to plunder Spanish merchant ships nearby. As a result, a huge fleet composed of more than forty warships was also buried in New Amsterdam by him. battleship.

He really can't explain it when he goes back!
How to do it?

Now the only one who can help them turn the tables is Prince Condé. The noble status of this prince ranks first in the entire anti-Habsburg alliance. France is also the most powerful country in the entire anti-Habsburg alliance. one.

If His Highness the Prince can be allowed to do his best, perhaps they still have a little hope

He thought about it for a while, and then asked carefully: "Your Highness, what should we do next?"

You think I don't know what you're planning?
Prince Kong Dai snorted coldly in his heart, and then asked back: "What do you think should be done?"

Minuit still asked cautiously: "Are we just going to let the Ming Empire seize the colonies of our Habsburg Union?"

Hmph, talk about the anti-Habsburg alliance, do you think I am a child?

The anti-Habsburg alliance is just a combination of interests. The reason why they form an alliance is not because of how good their relationship is.

To put it bluntly, they joined forces only to compete for interests.

Because the Habsburg dynasty was too powerful, Spain, as the overlord of the European continent and even the world, occupied the interests of most of the colonies in the whole world.

Everyone wants to grab these benefits, and everyone wants to be the overlord.

Once Spain is overthrown, the benefits must be redistributed, and someone must be the overlord.

At that time, there will be a new battle, and then they will change from allies to enemies, and it is even possible to start a war immediately.

In short, everyone wants to be the overlord, and no matter who becomes the overlord, other countries will attack it.

Such is the filth among European countries!
Prince Condé certainly knows the purpose of this guy. This guy just wants to get him out and let him take the lead in organizing the countries of the Anti-Habsburg Alliance to put pressure on the Ming Empire, and even fight the Ming Empire desperately, so as to help this guy retake New Nieder orchid.

Otherwise, this guy wouldn't be able to go back to work.

Do you think I'm stupid?

Want to fool me into going all out for you, but there is no way!
With a sneer in his heart, he asked back: "Do you think we can defeat the coalition forces of the Ming Empire and the Indian tribes now?"

Uh, this.

Of course, Minuit knew how powerful the combined forces of the Ming Empire and the Indian tribes were.

The problem, whether you can beat it or not, you have to find a way.

Otherwise how to retake the New Netherland.

What would he do if he couldn't retake New Netherland?
It seems that Prince Kong Dai is not so easy to fool, and it is not so easy for others to take action.

Are you a dead man!

You lost New England too, can you do business when you go back?
You can't even pay the job!
Why are you silent?
Minuit couldn't help but secretly glanced at Count Black.

This means, you guys speak!

Earl Black thought for a while, and then said cautiously: "Your Highness, the Ming Empire will definitely not stop here. Their next target is your New France!"

so what?
You treat people like fools!

Prince Kong Dai asked again: "Do you really think that the French army can defeat the combined forces of the Ming Empire and the Indian tribes?"

Uh, this.

When they were negotiating with the Ming Empire, they were just bragging. The fact that the French Army has more than 30 troops and its equipment is better than that of the Ming Empire Army is just farting.

If the French army were really so powerful, Spain would have been overthrown by them long ago.

In fact, the French Army does not have more than 30 troops, and its equipment is not as good as that of the Ming Empire Army. If there is a real fight, the French Army is no match for the combined forces of the Ming Empire and Indian tribes.

Earl Black was also left speechless by the rhetorical question.

He could only look at Minuit helplessly.

This means that he has tried his best, and if he is not fooled, there is nothing he can do!
You useless thing, how did you get the position of governor?

Charles I was afraid that he was blind and asked you to be the governor of New England!

Minuit sneered secretly in his heart, and then pretended to be worried: "Your Highness, if the Ming Empire really equips millions of Indian tribes, our anti-Habsburg alliance will be in danger. Our The strength is not much stronger than the Habsburg Dynasty, if the Ming Empire and the Indian tribe's million-strong army join in again, wouldn't we be doomed?"

Unexpectedly, this time Prince Kong Dai nodded slightly and said: "Well, this issue is indeed very important. We have to think carefully about how to deal with the overlord of the Far East, the Ming Empire."

Hey, what does this guy mean?
For a while, he said that he couldn't do it, and for a while, he said that he had to consider how to deal with him.

Minuit couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this.

Blake was also puzzled when he heard the words.

What does Prince Condé mean?

In fact, this Prince Kong Dai is not as young and ignorant as he appears on the surface, he is very powerful.

Historically, he was a representative of the Condé family, the leader of the French nobility, and one of the most outstanding commanders of the Anti-Habsburg Alliance and even the entire continent of Europe.

He once led the French Army to defeat the Spanish Army, which had dominated Europe for a long time, and ended Spain's dominance on land. He also led the French Army to defeat the Dutch Army and the Holy Roman Empire Army, thus laying a solid foundation for France to dominate the European Continent.

It can be said that Louis XIV became the awesome Sun King thanks to his cousin.

The reason why he didn't show any ability this time, like a second-generation ancestor, is because this is not his territory, but someone else's.

New Amsterdam belonged to the Dutch, and more than 40 warships also belonged to the Dutch. The tens of thousands of defenders in the bastion were also British and Dutch. He couldn't command it at all, and he didn't bother to command it.

This time the incident was led by Minuit, the governor of the Dutch West India Company.

He originally thought that by showing his face on behalf of France and adding a little pressure to the Ming Empire, he would be able to surrender without a fight, and through negotiations, the Ming Empire would be fooled into retreating.

Unexpectedly, the development of the matter was completely beyond his expectation.

The strength of the Ming Empire, the overlord of the Far East, also completely exceeded his expectations.

He didn't even have time to react. The seemingly powerful Dutch navy was defeated by others, and the seemingly indestructible fortress was bombarded to pieces.

In this case, he had no choice but to surrender and save his life first.

No way, this time he has no chance to show his strength.

Of course he knew that the overlord of the Far East, the Ming Empire, and the millions of Indian tribes would lose if they joined the battle in Europe and their anti-Habsburg alliance.

The colonies in North America can be lost, but the battle for hegemony in Europe cannot be lost. Once lost, France is over, and so is he.

He is very clear about this.

He was just thinking about how to deal with the overlord of the Far East, the Ming Empire.
