Become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen!

Chapter 707 Parliament
Wang Chengen is full of pride.

I looked down on foreigners before, but now I look down even more, and I look down on them completely. I won’t occasionally have the idea that "foreigners still have something to offer" like before.

We have the capital to look down upon.

Therefore, the task of recovering the entire territory of Taiwan was quickly arranged.

The fleet broke into the port of Zeelandia City along the waterway He Bin said, and then blocked and surrounded the city and blocked the waterway.

After the blockade was successful, Zheng Chenggong sent 1000 troops, and the Ming Dynasty Nanyang Company sent 500 and [-] troops. Shi Lang, then admiral of the Navy, was in charge of commanding them. They first captured the fortress in the southern part of Relanja City, and then continued to bombard and suppress it. forcing the Dutch in the city to surrender.

As soon as the strategy became absolutely certain, Zheng Chenggong and Wang Chengen went directly to Luzon and beat the Spaniards instead.

The strategy is arranged.

But misfortune also came.

He Bin's defection is not a trivial matter, especially when the situation of the Dutch on Taiwan Island is already somewhat difficult.

However, the recent rise of Daming's sea power has made the Dutch, the Spaniards and the Portuguese feel bad.

The Dutch East India Company has sent the news back home.

The Speaker of the Dutch Republic therefore made adjustments to the Netherlands' deployment throughout East Asia, including but not limited to changing the governor in Taiwan, so that the East India Company's headquarters in East Asia must be prepared to deal with the pressure of the Ming Dynasty.

Spain and Portugal also responded early.

The main reason is that after the rise of the Ming Dynasty's sea power, the attitude it showed on the outside can be said to be fierce.

In terms of shipbuilding speed alone, the combat effectiveness of the fleet cannot be ignored.

It even directly attacked the colonies of the Netherlands and Spain.

Later, after the existence of the big material treasure ship was fermented, it surprised and even frightened the foreigners in the entire Ming Dynasty and even the Qing Dynasty, and gave all the missionaries from foreign countries who were active in the Ming Dynasty, and the East India Company members. It's coming.

And He Bin's defection became the last straw that broke the psychological defense line of the Dutch.

When Zheng Chenggong was planning to regain Taiwan.

The Dutch East India Company held a major meeting in Batavia, Java, its headquarters in East Asia.

"Silence! Silence!"

The Governor of Batavia City and the Speaker of the Third-Level Conference of the East India Region, Carl Rainiers, slammed the hammer in the conference hall, but he still couldn't quiet the noisy conference hall.

This hammer must have worked well in the past.

But this time is different.

There are Portuguese, Spaniards, Danes outside the Dutch East India Company in the chamber
It also appeared that the conference hall was overcrowded, dirty and smelly.

Fortunately
As he spoke, Speaker Carl looked at the three or five people in the corner of the conference hall whose appearance was very different from the European faces in the room.

Chinese.

All the East India Company, including the Spaniards operating in East Asia, had a large number of Chinese helpers under their command, and the city of Batavia was even more special. The sea coachmen attached great importance to the Ming Dynasty market, so half of the residents in the city were Chinese.

Chinese parliamentarians and Chinese executive officers came into being as the times require.

Every meeting held these days is inseparable from them.

"Gentlemen! Silence! Today is our last meeting! Before we discuss and vote to decide the final result! There is a brave gentleman who is also one of the councilors of Batavia City who brought us important information. It’s information about the 150-yard-long gigantic ship newly built by the Ming Empire in Guangzhou and currently undergoing sea trials.”

Now everyone is quiet.

No throwing boots, hats, gloves, books, paper, ink, spitting at each other, or even taking out crotches in this council hall to defecate on the spot.

The various families in East Asia were originally competing enemies, each belonging to different forces, with many old and new grudges. They did not fight together because this meeting decided how they would cooperate with each other at sea. The menacing Ming Nanyang Company competed.

The most important thing is to preserve their colonies and maritime trade routes in East Asia.

Soon, a Chinese man in his twenties, wearing Dutch clothes, stood on the podium in the middle of the parliament hall and spoke in Dutch about the information he had collected while traveling to Guangzhou.

Soon there were translators nearby who translated his words into Latin, French, and Spanish and Portuguese again.

"The giant ship does exist. I have seen its appearance in Guangzhou Port with my own eyes. After leaving the port and entering the sea, it was escorted by six sailing battleships that also belonged to the 'treasure ship'."

"The hull of the ship is extremely huge, so you can see roughly how many gun positions there are on the ship. There are pictures of treasure ships drawn by painters in the local newspapers in Guangzhou. After my estimation, the huge ship can carry at least two hundred artillery pieces, which is far beyond the capabilities of the ship. The King of the Seas with the most guns."

"The whole ship has more than a thousand crew members. The army is not included in the 1000 people. In addition, it is said that there are areas for raising war horses, poultry, and even planting crops on the giant ship. The crew can even process and manufacture various weapons on the giant ship."

Every time he said a word, the council hall was amazed.

After he finished speaking, the entire parliament hall exploded.

Speaker Karl knocked off the hammer and roared desperately, which made everyone quiet and gave him a chance to speak.

"Now! Gentlemen! This giant ship is going to the Philippines! It will carry the son of the leader of the Zheng family in the South China Sea of ​​the Ming Dynasty! The prince of a king who was entrusted by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty! He is also a member of the Ming Empire with a powerful family. Generals of military power! They are going to invade the Philippines!"

The Spaniards on the field looked miserable.

Zheng Chenggong's headquarters only had more than 1 elite troops, but according to their intelligence, even if Zheng Chenggong reduced the number of troops, it would not be possible to cut them directly from nearly [-] to [-].

At least [-] troops.

Their total Spanish population in Luzon is less than 3 men, women, old and children. The servant army's combat power is completely unreliable, unable to withstand it, and simply unable to withstand it.

This is also the reason why they can look down and seek cooperation with the Dutch East India Company.

Carl's face was even worse.

Because the Dutch knew that the first stop of Zheng Chenggong and the big treasure ship was Taiwan.

Talking about going to fuck the Spaniards, but the first target is them Dutch.

The Dutch East India Company has been operating on the island of Taiwan for more than 30 years. Even if it is far away from the mainland in East Asia and cannot compete with the Ming Dynasty, it must find a way to preserve this precious colony.

Otherwise, the company will really be cut off from the port of Nagasaki in the north.

"So, gentlemen! Ceylon! Timor! The distinguished envoy of the Deputy King of Goa! The envoy from Dai Viet! The envoy of the Governor of the Philippines! Now! We will make a final decision on the joint fight against the Ming Nanyang Company and the Ming Empire's Haitu Division. decision!"

"Do you want to sign a general treaty and add a clause that calls on companies, governors, and armed merchant ships from all kingdoms in the entire East India to form a fleet to fight against the giant ships? Your response is--yes!"

"Whether to form a corps to resist the army of the Ming Empire! Everyone's response——Yes!"

"Do you want to boycott the export of Daming Sugar! Unless the Guangzhou Province of Ming Dynasty agrees with the Dutch, Spaniards, and Portuguese to operate sugar business in Guangzhou"

"Whether to unite or hire the Qing Empire's maritime fleet?"
