Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 789 It's the Ming Empire again!

El Salvador's full name is San Salvador by All Saints Bay.

This is the main city of the Bahia colony and the core of the entire Brazilian Viceroyalty.

The city of Salvador is also the first serious city established by the Portuguese colonists in the Governor-General of Brazil. It has a history of more than [-] years.

The streets here are tidy, with tall buildings everywhere, and the level of prosperity is even far higher than that of most cities in Europe.

Especially the Governor's Mansion, which is even more luxurious than the European palaces.

Prince Kong Dai sat on the throne inlaid with gold and precious stones, looked at the two ministers under him, and couldn't help but feel proud in his heart.

Hey, who would have imagined that the three important leaders of France, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom would fight for one country.

Of course, this country does not refer to France, the Netherlands, or the United Kingdom, but their ideal country.

In the end, their country may annex France, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom and become a superpower, just like Spain annexing Portugal at this moment, or even stronger!

He secretly smug, and then said seriously: "Duke Minuit, how many shipbuilders have you contacted, and when will they come?"

Minuit was certainly no duke.

This was their private agreement. Once the new kingdom was established, he would designate Minuit and Black as dukes.

If they can fight back to Europe and take away the French kingship, then Minuit will be the Grand Duke of the Netherlands, and Black will be the Grand Duke of England. He will help Minuit and Black take the Netherlands and the British mainland, and make them both become one. Lord of the country.

Well, such a big temptation is indeed irresistible.

Therefore, both Minuit and Black secretly left their own country, and were ready to hang out with Prince Condé wholeheartedly.

Minuit also said seriously: "Your Majesty, if you want to build an ocean-going ship, you must have at least a thousand skilled craftsmen.

And these craftsmen are paid very high in the Netherlands, and it is still a bit difficult to impress them.

The confidants I sent secretly persuaded less than 500 people. If we want to reach the scale of [-] people, I am afraid it will take half a year. "

Is the salary high?
Prince Kong Dai said without hesitation: "Then double their wages. In short, it must be fast, the sooner the better."

Uh, double the wages again!
People's original wages were almost one pound of silver a month, and they all paid people two pounds of silver a month, and if doubled, it would be four pounds of silver a month.

1000 people are worth [-] pounds of silver a month!

This is almost equivalent to the price of a boat of mahogany and teak.

Minuit couldn't help being surprised: "Your Majesty, do we really pay people such high wages?"

Prince Kong Dai said darkly: "Is wages important?
The important thing is that they come and build us a ship as soon as possible!

If we can take South America and dominate Europe, what is four pounds of silver a month? "

Well, this means cheating, as long as you cheat, these people won't be left alone!

Minuit nodded slowly, "I understand."

Prince Kong Dai continued to ask: "How is your relationship with those profiteers who sell slaves? Can they send us [-] slaves every month?"

This is a bit difficult.

Minuit could only explain: "Your Majesty, these slaves are captured one by one. It is already a bit difficult for them to capture tens of thousands a month. It is indeed a bit difficult to capture [-] a month."

is it hard?
Prince Kong Dai couldn't help snorting coldly: "If they can't do it, then contact a few more.

You should know how much we need slaves right now.

It has been more than a year, and we have only cut down about one-fiftieth of the original jungle here. If we cut down so slowly, it will take five to sixty years to finish cutting down the jungle here.

There are also farms. A farm needs hundreds of slaves. We need to open at least a hundred farms a month. How can we do without slaves? "

Ok.

Minuit could only nod and said, "I will try my best to find a way to contact other slave traders."

Prince Condé said to Black again: "Duke Black, have you contacted the man who built the steamship?"

Black was quite puzzled: "I got in touch with this, but the King of England attached great importance to these people, not only paid them extremely high wages, but also sent hundreds of troops to guard them in the name of protecting them. It is very difficult for us to take people over!"

No matter how difficult it is, I have to get it over.

Prince Kong Dai said without hesitation: "How much wages do they want?

As much as the king of England drives, I will double them!
As for the hundreds of troops, it is impossible to send thousands of people to pretend to be pirates and kill them.

In short, these people should be pulled over quickly.

At that time, with the addition of craftsmen from the Netherlands, we will be able to build a large number of steam ships.

Both the Dutch and the British have mental problems, and they are already at this point. They don't know how to cooperate quickly and work hard to build steamships.

They can't, let's do it! "

Well, we're Dutch and British too, aren't we?
Black thought for a while, and then said cautiously: "Your Majesty, if I ask my subordinates to kill those hundreds of people, they may be a little reluctant."

It is indeed not good for one's own people to kill one's own people, and it is easy to cause problems.

Prince Condé said decisively: "You send your cronies to take Minuit's people there.

In short, we must build a large number of steam-driven warships as soon as possible.

You should have seen how powerful the steam engine-driven battleship is.

The navy of the Ming Empire is all warships driven by steam engines, and naval battles are almost invincible! "

It was such a coincidence that the world had just mentioned the Ming Empire, and the Ming Empire really came.

"Report, His Royal Highness, urgent report from the western front."

His Majesty the King is just the private address of the three of them, and he is still a prince in front of outsiders.

When Prince Kong Dai heard the words, he couldn't help saying angrily: "Come in."

They are discussing important matters, what urgent report can be so important?
Soon, a personal guard walked in with an envelope.

He took the envelope and opened it, his face full of shock.

Hundreds of thousands of armored cavalry suddenly rushed out from the jungle in the west and frantically snatched the black slaves under them!
What yellow people and black people?

Only the Ming Empire can produce one hundred thousand armored cavalry in this world!

He was stunned for a while with a face full of shock, and then he waved his hand to make the guard retreat.

Seeing this, Blake carefully approached and asked, "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

what happened?
Prince Kong Dai directly put the emergency report in his hand.

Blake took a look and was also shocked.

What is going on here?
Minuit went up to take a look, and was also taken aback.

The Ming Empire, the Ming Empire again!
They have all suffered losses at the hands of the Ming Empire, so they naturally know the strength of the Ming Empire.

In this world, only the Ming Empire can produce [-] armored cavalry.

How to do?
The three of them were stunned for a while with shocking expressions on their faces, and then Prince Kong Dai gritted his teeth and said, "The Ming Empire is too bullying!"

This means, to fight head-on with the Ming Empire?

Hearing this, Blake said a little timidly, "Your Majesty, are we going to go to war with them?"

Minuit also said with lingering fear: "Your Majesty, the Ming Empire is too powerful, why don't we avoid it?"

避？
Where to avoid?
It was hard for them to lure tens of thousands of troops to win such a piece of land that was enough to establish a country.

This is where their foundation lies!

Prince Kong Dai still gritted his teeth and said: "Our hard work over the past two years cannot be wasted. This time, we must defend Bahia and repel the reinforcements from the Ming Empire."

Of course they knew that this was a reinforcement sent by the King of Spain.

Prince Kong Dai even thought that the reinforcements from the Ming Empire came from the Governor-General of Peru or the Governor-General of La Plata.

Black and Minuit were shocked when they heard this.

It's really going to war with the Ming Empire!

Isn't this purely courting death?
Black thought for a while, but carefully reminded: "Your Majesty, you may not know how powerful they are because you have never had a direct confrontation with the army of the Ming Empire.

Their army is really strong, especially the armored cavalry, which is terrifyingly strong. "

Not only is the army strong, but the navy is even stronger!

Minuit also carefully reminded: "Your Majesty, you should have seen the naval fleet of the Ming Empire, it is an invincible existence.

Even if our warships are all there, we can't beat them, let alone most of our warships are not there. "

What do you know?
Prince Condé analyzed self-righteously: "They rushed from the west, and the west is the governorate of La Plata in Spain. They are likely to come by land, you know?

If they don't have the support of the naval fleet, can't we carry the hundreds of thousands of armored cavalry?
We have an army of [-] at the moment, and there are [-] new recruits in training, and the strength is not much different from them.

More importantly, we have two cities.

The city over the weapon processing factory is a natural barrier. As long as we cut off the bridge, how will the cavalry come over?

Even if they take a pontoon bridge, can they take down the city where the arsenal is located?
As long as we mobilize all the 3 horses on the front line to guard the city where the arsenal is located, they may not be able to take down 10 horses.

What's more, we still have a big city with amazing defense like El Salvador.

At that time, even if they take down the city where the arsenal is located, we can gather 4 troops to guard El Salvador.

How can they be?
Although the armored cavalry is powerful, it is powerful against an army without a city to rely on.

As long as we stick to the city, what can they do to us?
It is impossible for armored cavalry to come here with artillery.

They don't have artillery, we have artillery and cities to rely on, so what is there to be afraid of?

Also, how much food can they bring overland, and how many days can they last?

As long as we hold out for a month or so, they'll probably have to withdraw. "

Well, the analysis seems to make sense.

Perhaps, they could really repel the armored cavalry of the Ming Empire.

Black and Minuit nodded solemnly upon hearing this.

If Taichang had listened to this guy's analysis, he would probably laugh his ass off.

Will I come here without a navy fleet?
There are even bigger scares waiting for you guys!
