Become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen!

Chapter 709 The New Overlord
More than [-] ships looked huge.

In fact, in addition to the 73 ships of the Nanyang Navy, there were 110 ships willing to join the war with the Nanyang Navy.

Among these more than 100 ships, three of them are capable of fully following the Nanyang Navy in combat.

Joining belongs to joining, but the money hasn't been earned before joining, so what's the deal?

The rise of the Daming Nanyang Company has provided merchant ships on the Daming Sea with an additional backer to choose from, and in order to maximize their benefits, they naturally choose to walk between the gaps between these two big backers.

More than 700 ships gathered in Penghu County because they wanted to go to Luzon to earn money.

As soon as the cannon is fired, there are ten thousand taels of gold. Whether it is the consumption of Zheng Chenggong's headquarters and subsequent recruitment, or the occupation of land in Luzon, looting and seizures, it is money to come and go.

At the same time, they were also the advance army of the Ming gentry to explore overseas Luzon.

The annexation of land by aristocratic gentry and powerful families is a major feature of human civilization. If Luzon was captured, it would have to be annexed by the Ming Dynasty.

The most arduous task of the Daming Nanyang Company and Zheng Chenggong's army in Luzon can actually be said to be to get more land for Emperor Longwu, a big landlord.

Taiwan, then, is an appetizer.

As soon as the imperial decree was read, the great god jumped, burned the incense, and threw the three animals into the sea. The Daming Nanyang Navy was officially placed under the command of the Daming Haidusi, and the ownership of all the ships of the Daming Nanyang Company became Haidusi.

Nanyang Company only has the right to use these ships, and it must pay rent to Haitusi every year. If Haitusi recruits them, the ships and crew must unconditionally submit to military service.

After switching hands between left and right hands.

With the giant ship Pingyuan as the flagship and the Chinese treasure ship as the main warship, the fleet went to sea, followed by more than 300 armed merchant ships.

After passing Hujing Island, a large number of European ships appeared in Wang Chengen's telescope.

"Look, another messenger is here."

The ship types of the two sides are very different, so naturally they will not admit their mistakes.

Not to mention that these boats have been circling around Penghu County for several days.

Zheng Chenggong was standing on the side, also holding up the binoculars: "How confident are you in defeating the enemy fleet?"

I have been on the shore for the past few years, and I have never seen the power of treasure ships, new artillery, and many new ammunition. The experience of the Zheng family's confrontation with the Dutch made Zheng Chenggong feel that this battle is quite dangerous.

"Ten percent!"

Wang Chengen was extremely confident.

From the moment he stood on the Pingyuan, this self-confidence went straight to his brain, and all the depression accumulated in his heart from being a slave and eunuch all these years was washed away.

It is self-confidence.

After saying that, he said to the first mate who was waiting behind him: "Send a small boat directly to send a message to the messenger ship, telling them to either surrender or be run over by the Pingyuan!"

Liang Yu held up the telescope with great interest.

He had never seen this scene.

In the future, I am afraid that I will have to work hard at sea for a few years. This will be a precious large-scale naval battle scene, so naturally I have to concentrate on it.

Zheng Chenggong originally wanted to remind Wang Chengen not to underestimate the enemy, but he looked down at the deck of the Pingyuan under his feet, then retracted, and just said: "Since this is the case, when engaging with enemy ships, the Iron Man Centurion will be at the mercy of the master. "

I didn't keep up with the cutting-edge tactics for a while, thinking that there might be a gang fight later.

I want to pull up the Iron Man Army, which has only armed less than 60 people, to see the actual combat effect.

Unfortunately it backfired.

The more sailing battleships, the formation of an organizational system and the proper use of tactics, unless there is an opportunity, there is no chance of jumping the gang in naval battles.

The Dutch emissary ship was persuaded to turn back.In order to protect themselves, the Dutch on Taiwan Island looked for reinforcements and also found Wang Chengen, hoping to resolve the problem peacefully.

However, after recent negotiations, coercion and inducement failed, and neither did ceding land or paying compensation.

The envoys sent this time were driven back without even seeing Wang Chengen.

On one side of the Dutch fleet, on a European-style sailing battleship with a length of more than 50 meters, Cornelis, the Dutch governor in Taiwan in a gorgeous navy uniform, put away his binoculars. His complexion was a little gray.

"There is no room for maneuver. The war is inevitable, but not now, let all the ships turn around, retreat to the grand port, and leave a fast ship, but be careful of the assault ships of the Mingren fleet, they will be entangled by the chain bombs they use If you stay here, you can't leave.

Then tell the Spaniards, if Manila still does not agree to supply materials for Zeelandia at a low price, then we will surrender to the Ming people and pay the consecration tax, which will also keep some companies' business.

If we block Akito, they can also find an opportunity to regain Santa Ana City and drive Akito out of the Philippines. "

The first battle of the Pingyuan is destined not to be today.

The Dutch fleet did not want to fight at all.

Facing a giant ship like the Pingyuan, I don't even want to fight.

Just witnessing the existence of this giant ship from a distance through the telescope is enough to make all the captains feel chills and feel daunted.

Then it's not a boat.

It was a moving castle, an island, and a sea monster that seemed to only exist in legends.

None of the captains dared to imagine the terrifying firepower it could roar and spit out.

Also because of it.

The Dutch opened more and more humble conditions.

"Only keep the city of Zeelandia, and give up the rest of the island"

"They won't agree."

Cornelis smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The great eunuch said that they will not drive us off the island until we hand over all the land."

"Properties other than land? Slaves? Those prostitutes, workers? The sugar cane plantations have been given away, but where is the sugar cane? We can buy back some of the land."

"It's all the same. If I lose everything on the island, I will definitely be hanged, and you are unlikely to escape. The only difference is that you die at the hands of Ming people or at the hands of the Parliament or the Governor of East India."

The giant ship Pingyuan was chasing after him, and the Dutchman, the 'sea coachman', felt terrified, not daring to have a trace of luck and unruliness, but only deep despair.

After despair, there is numbness.

Flint is like that.

After living in a palace outside the imperial city for a while, or under house arrest for a while, someone from outside finally sent a letter asking him to go out of the city for two hundred miles to meet the emperor's father and the regent.

The old eunuch who served him was very upset about this, thinking that two hundred miles was too far.

Fulin is full of expectations for the two hundred miles.

Every second he left the cage made him feel happy, not to mention the scenery along the way on the railway car, and he could take two steps at the station when stopping to rest, and observe the people and the world outside the palace at close range.

Of course, it would be better if he didn't act like an emperor, don't wear auspicious clothes, and don't act like a puppet and be looked at with strange contemptuous and mocking eyes by passers-by.

If Aixinjueluo Nikan doesn't appear in front of him, he doesn't need to watch him with complicated and meaningful eyes.

Then this trip will be perfect.

"Cousin, please stop staring at me. I have finished copying the edict of abdication. Just take it and present it to the regent to use the seal. You will not embarrass the Eight Banners."
