But he is the supervisor of the Great Ming Dynasty, so it is not good for him to speak out about this kind of money-smelling matter.

So, I threw the pot to the research institute!

Well, it's the conditions put forward by the research institute. What's the matter with him, Zhu Hongyu?
Bullying honest people?
After the banquet was over, only the next day, the institute received hundreds of applications.

Among them, at the top of the list is Zheng Chenggong, the richest man in Ming Dynasty!

Lao Zheng has money, and he is unambiguous when it is time to spend it.

Among these hundreds of applications, apart from some officials of Ming Dynasty, there are quite a few wealthy businessmen.

However, although they paid a lot of money, the order of installation was to be photographed behind the official Xungui.

Even if they paid more money than the officials and nobles, they had to wait obediently.

However, the more this is the case in Daming, the more popular the lamps are, and those big landlords spend money without ambiguity.

To put it bluntly, this is the result of Zhu Hongyu's forceful raising of the lamp.

How many people are a bit cheap!
The more you can't get something, the more fanatical it is to pursue it.

……

A piece of blue, the sea is as crystal clear as sapphire.

A gust of sea breeze blew, causing ripples on the flat sea surface.

The breeze blows the sails of a galleon!
On the tall mast, there are a few seabirds, looking around, looking very lively.

The next moment, these seabirds flapped their wings and flew away!
On deck, the first officer of the Witney, Lauren, is at the helm.

Beside him, the captain Liszt held a telescope and looked at the distant sea.

"Mr. Captain, Malacca is ahead, and we are about to enter the waters controlled by the Ming people!"

The report from the second officer who was looking at the chart.

Liszt nodded slightly, a trace of relief flashed across his face, and he spoke.

"Well, it's finally here!"

The Witney is not a private merchant ship, but a ship with an official background.

They traveled across oceans and came to the Far East from mainland Europe, and they came with political missions.

On behalf of the newly restored Stuart dynasty, establish diplomatic relations with Ming, which occupies Nanyang.

The purpose is to take a bite out of the East-West trade that is almost monopolized by the Dutch!

The current east-west trade is basically monopolized by the Netherlands, and only the Portuguese still retain a part of the share.

Originally, Spain, which was almost equal to the Dutch in the East-West trade, is now targeted by Daming, and their ships cannot enter the waters of Daming.

Zhu Hongyu once ordered that one of the ships flying the Spanish flag be found to sink one.

Do business?
be your mother!
If you dare to slaughter Lao Tzu's people, Lao Tzu will target you to death!

This matter is not discussed!

That is to say, now Daming is unable to go on an expedition to Europe, otherwise, Zhu Hongyu really wouldn't mind taking revenge with a massacre in Madrid!

Therefore, now the Dutch have almost monopolized the trade between the East and the West, and have gained a lot of benefits in the past few years.

The British domestic view on this is that Britain was defeated in the Second Anglo-Dutch War, except that the Stuart dynasty had just been restored and its national power was limited. …

It is also one of the important reasons for the Dutch to grab a lot of benefits in the East-West trade, which is used to make up for the war losses.

Therefore, the most fundamental purpose of the British sending people to the Far East was to snatch the benefits of East-West trade from the Dutch.

Prepare for the next Anglo-Dutch war!
Due to the current relationship between Britain and the Netherlands,
Along the way, they were intercepted by the Dutch fleet several times, and even several times, they were almost surrounded by the Dutch.

Now, it was about to reach the waters controlled by Daming, and everyone on the entire ship heaved a sigh of relief.

At the very least, when they reached the waters controlled by Ming Dynasty, they didn't have to worry about being exploited by the Dutch.

After all, Daming had made a strong statement on this side, who would dare to fight in the waters controlled by Daming without notifying Daming.

Daming will fight according to both sides!

This is the strength of Daming.

If it is in Europe, with Ming's sea power, such a threat will only be regarded as a joke.

But in the Far East, at Daming’s doorstep.

The main fleets of those European countries can't get through. Da Ming said he would fight them, and he would really fight them, without the slightest hesitation.

At this moment, a white sail suddenly appeared at the end of the water sky.

What jumped out of the water was a large piece of tall masts and a tall hull.

A whole three sail battle ranks appeared on the sea and came towards the Witney.

"Monsieur Captain, it's the damned Dutchman!"

Looking at the aura hanging on the three sails, Doctor Lauren couldn't help but speak.

His face was full of tension.

Captain Liszt glanced at the direction where the Dutch warship appeared, and cursed.

"Shet, bloody Dutchman!"

"Quickly, pass on the order, the fleet is fully sailed, and is moving forward at full speed!"

"Get rid of those damned Dutch pigs!"

The sailors on the Witney began to get busy, those who raised the sails raised the sails, and those who steered the helm.

What's more, they got back into the cabin, opened the gun ports on the side of the ship, and began to prepare for the battle with the Dutch.

As time passed, the distance between the fleets of the two sides became closer and closer.

When the distance between the two sides was less than [-] yards, the Dutch took the initiative to attack.

Boom!Boom!
The earth-shattering sound of shelling resounded across the sea, thick gunpowder smoke filled the air, and shells mercilessly shot towards the Witney.

The recoil caused by the firing of the heavy artillery on the ship's side caused ripples on the shaking sea.

A round of shells flew and fell into the water around the Witney.

A lot of water splashes were launched!

Even the sails of the Witney were soaked in sea water and became heavy.

The sound of the wind blowing on the sails has become much more dull than ever!

"Damn Dutch pig, quick, quicken!"

"Get rid of them!"

"Fight back, fight back!"

"..."

The Witney also started to fight back, the side gun ports opened, and there were bursts of roars.

Countless shells flew across the sea!

The sea is full of smoke!
The distance between the two sides is gradually narrowing, and the shelling has become somewhat accurate from a few hits at the beginning.

Cannonballs flew horizontally one after another, and from time to time, shells would hit the hull of the ship.

The heavy shells came with terrifying kinetic energy, splashing the sawdust from the ship, and the shells were inlaid on the thick side deck of the hull.

The kinetic energy brought makes the hull shake from side to side!
There was a fierce exchange of fire between the two sides, and the sound of shelling resounded throughout the sea.

Although the Dutch have many ships, their tonnage is only [-] to [-] tons, and the largest ship has a tonnage of only [-] tons.

But the Witney is a sailing battleship with a tonnage of [-] tons!
