Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 865 The Dutchman's Nightmare
Amsterdam was finally taken.

However, the defenders and ordinary people in the city ran away without a trace.

What is going on here?
It's understandable for the people in the city to run away, because it took them a long time to get to the bay here, and they had half a day to run away.

Question, the defenders in this city were still defending the city not long ago, why did they suddenly disappear?

Taichang received the report from Qin Yiming and Qin Gongming, and it was a bit inexplicable.

Fortunately, Qin Yiming soon boarded the King's ship himself, bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the Dutch may have escaped by boat."

The port and pier here are blocked, can people still run by boat?

Taichang couldn't help asking curiously: "Where did they go by boat? Is there a dock elsewhere?"

Qin Yiming said embarrassingly: "Well, Your Majesty, I don't know where they ran by boat, because there are too many rivers around this city, it's almost like a spider's web, and the docks are everywhere."

And such a thing?
Taichang simply waved his hand and said, "Go, take me to have a look."

Well, anyway, there is not a single Dutchman around here at the moment, there are soldiers from the Shenji Battalion and Shenwu Battalion everywhere in and around Amsterdam, and there is no danger for the emperor to leave the Emperor.

Qin Yiming quickly got off the boat with Taichang and a group of master guards, then rode his horse and led Taichang and others straight to the southwest of Amsterdam.

Taichang boarded the west city wall and held up a large aluminum telescope to scan it. The river here is really densely packed like spider webs, and there are large and small piers everywhere.

It seems that the fleeing defenders can't chase them. The waterway is not the land way. After people drive the boat over, there will be no traces left.

Taichang could only sigh slightly, and then ordered: "Order, let the soldiers of the Black God Army disembark and guard the forts and forts. You also search everywhere to see if the Dutch have left anything behind."

These Dutchmen obviously left in a hurry, and the sunken merchant ship near the port wharf didn't have any cargo on it. They should have left all the cargo in the city or in warehouses outside the city.

At this moment, the Dutch are the overlord of the sea, and Amsterdam is obviously the freight transfer center of the Dutch, and there should be no shortage of goods here.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the generals of Shenji Camp and Shenwu Camp to report and found that there were a lot of goods in various warehouses, and these goods were calculated by millions of catties.

The Dutch did not store too many goods here, not only food, spices, wood, leather goods, etc., but also silk, porcelain and tea produced in Ming Dynasty.

They retreated in a hurry, taking away the gold and silver, but the goods could not be taken away.

These goods are worth tens of millions of taels at least. This time they made a lot of money, at least the military rewards of this war were earned back.

The problem is that the terrain in the Netherlands is simply too complicated. The rivers extend in all directions like spider webs, and there are so many boats. How can they completely encircle them?
Taichang was standing on the city wall, frowning and thinking, when Qin Yiming walked up quickly again, bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, we found a large shipyard."

Large shipyards?
In fact, they saw a lot of shipyards from a distance along the way, but they were not large in scale, and they didn't bother to stop the ship to occupy a small shipyard, so they haven't seen what the Dutch shipyard is. What it looks like.

Taichang is still very interested in Dutch shipyards, especially large shipyards.

Hearing what Qin Yiming said, he immediately waved his hands enthusiastically and said, "Come on, let's go and see what the Dutch shipyard looks like."

What is the Dutch shipyard like?
Taichang led a group of people into the shipyard to have a look, and his face was full of seriousness.

The Dutch have developed all kinds of sawing machines, and there is also a special workshop for the production of axles in the shipyard. The workshop is equipped with hoists, simple lathes, reamers, grinders, etc.

He squatted down again to look at the steam engine equipped on the machine tool, and the solemn look on his face became more intense.

The steam engine they made was exactly the same as the steam engine they used in the northwest!
These gangs of European colonial bandits are really fast in developing money-grabbing guys, and the speed of this development is almost as fast as that of Daming.

If you let them develop like this, then it's okay!

After Taichang walked around the shipyard roughly, he already had some concerns in his mind.

Even if they can't completely occupy the Netherlands this time, they have to destroy all their shipyards, leaving them nothing left!

Also, all Dutch people, no matter ordinary people, merchants, sailors or even nobles, were all arrested and sent to New Jingzhou Mansion for mining!

You build, destroy all your shipyards, capture all your people, and see what you still use to build ships!

This direction must be settled, and the next strategy will be clear immediately.

After Taichang left the shipyard, he immediately ordered that all sailors and infantry generals above rank five be recruited to the large conference room of the Emperor.

He seldom convened meetings of generals and schools below the third rank, but this time he actually summoned all the generals in the army, and the generals and schools who had hardly participated in this kind of combat meeting were all very excited.

Taichang looked at the sailors and infantry generals sitting neatly on both sides, and couldn't help but nodded slightly.

At this moment, the generals of the Ming Empire are really role models of soldiers. They all have resolute faces, and their bodies exude iron and blood. They don't look too mighty at all.

He pondered for a while, and then said loudly: "Everyone, I believe everyone has seen the topography of the Netherlands.

To figure out the waterway here, I'm afraid it will take at least a month.

Moreover, they will definitely not allow us to explore these waterways. Once our troops are too scattered, they will definitely take advantage of the geographical advantage and concentrate their superior forces to defeat us one by one.

So, we have to change our tactics.

Aren't the navy and infantry of the Dutch very good at escaping?

Then we will stop chasing.

As the saying goes, a monk who can run cannot run away from the temple.

They like to escape, so let them escape.

Anyway, the whole of the Netherlands has a maximum of 10 horses, so it's no big deal even if they all escape.

We don't care where their sailors and infantry fled, we will divide the whole of Holland into more than ten areas, advance by land and water, and clear one area a day.

This cleaning must be done thoroughly.

All ships, whether small or large, merchant ships or warships, should be sunk without leaving a single one.

All Dutch people, whether they are civilians or nobles, whether they are businessmen or mercenaries, are all arrested, first transferred to Portugal, then transferred to the West Yindu Islands, and then organized a fleet, transferred to New Jingzhou Mansion, handed over They were guarded by the soldiers of the South Day Camp and escorted to mine.

Also, the most important point is that we want to destroy all their shipyards, including weapons factories.

We have to dismantle all the simple machine tools in these factories and take them to Xinmacheng. We also dismantle all the docks and workshops. The wood is directly used as firewood, and all other things are pushed into the waterways of the docks to fill them up. ! "

Uh, the emperor is really ruthless.

In the future, the overlord of the sea may not even be able to build a single ship.

The people are gone, the docks and waterways are gone, so what kind of boats are there to build!

Taichang then explained in detail: "This Amsterdam will be guarded by the Black God Army, and I will lead ten Aegis ships to sit here.

Tomorrow morning, the Navy, Shenji Battalion, and Shenwu Battalion will attack together and push northward until they reach the border between the Netherlands and the Holy Roman Empire, trying to clean up the northern part of the Netherlands within five days.

Remember, the team should not be too scattered. The navy must have at least ten Aegis ships, one hundred armed merchant ships and one hundred Spike warships. Whenever they encounter Dutch ships, no matter what ships, they will all attack them. Shen.

The Shenji Camp and the Shenwu Camp used [-] people as units, and pushed all the way. Whenever they encountered people, they would arrest them and send them to naval ships. Whenever they encountered shipyards and factories, they would all be flattened.

If you encounter a city, the navy fleet will go up first, clear the fort, and cover the firepower. When the enemy is almost unable to fire, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion and Shenwu Battalion will go again.

do you understand?

If there is anything you don't understand, you can point it out. "

They seem to have made it very clear, but in fact there are still omissions.

Qin Gongming asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, what about the money and goods of the vendors here?"

What does he mean, let's grab it directly!

This direct robbery seems a bit too embarrassing for the Ming Empire, we are not robbers.

However, people can't take these things away, and even if they do, it's useless.

Taichang thought about it carefully, and then solemnly said: "When we clean up, we only arrest people, the speed must be fast, and we don't care about other things first.

After the people are cleaned up, the navy ships will be sent to pull them in a unified manner, so that there will be no delay.

Remember, you have to warn your soldiers not to bring those messy things to affect the speed of advancement.

After this battle is over, I will reward them with silver bills based on the gold, silver and supplies they seized. It is estimated that each person will have at least a hundred taels.

If anyone takes things indiscriminately, the reward will be gone. "

When Qin Gongming heard this, he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "The general will understand."

Taichang nodded slightly, then asked again: "Is there any other question?"

Qin Yiming asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, what about the farmland and vegetable fields here?
At the end of the day, they seem to have a lot of farmland and vegetable fields, and the growth of food, fruits and vegetables seems to be very good. "

This one.

Taichang thought about it carefully, and then confessed: "Try to keep these as much as possible, we will probably station troops here in the future."

Qin Yiming hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "The general will understand."

Taichang waited for a while, and seeing that no one asked any more questions, he raised his hand and said, "Okay, everyone, go back and get ready, set off early tomorrow morning, and try to clean up the whole of Holland within half a month."

This time, the Dutch nightmare began.

They absolutely shouldn't, just shouldn't provoke the Ming Empire.

Taichang was quite ruthless to the enemy, and the Japanese Japanese pirates, Jiannu and Mongolian tribes were all subdued by him right now.

With an army of 20 and nearly [-] ships advancing at the same time, the Dutch were powerless to fight back.

Wherever the Ming army went, they cleaned everything up.

If it weren't for the farmland and private houses still remaining, the whole of Holland would be like a primitive society, and it would be hard to find even a single person!
