The Sun Never Sets Great China

Chapter 175 The Battle of Ma Liujia 6

In the early morning of the next day, the four carrier pigeons brought by Liu Fude were released directly. Two of them were brought directly from the Lion City, and two were brought from an information station on the way. It was just a relay in the middle, and I was afraid that there would be a mistake in the relay in the middle, so I came to a double insurance.

Several hours later, Mr. Liu, who was as anxious as an ant in the heat, finally heard the fluttering of wings and the cooing of pigeons from the loft. This sound was like fairy music, and Mr. Liu suddenly became extremely fast. , he ran to the loft in three steps and two steps.

Mr. Liu took out the slip of paper on the pigeon's feet. The slip of paper was full of various symbols. In the era without telegrams and telephones, pigeons were undoubtedly the fastest delivery tool, but pigeons were the most afraid of sending messages. It is leaking secrets. The code of the Chinese Empire has been perfected in the era of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, and many sets of codes have been prepared in order to avoid the leak of traitors. Even if the pigeon accidentally falls into the enemy's hands, it doesn't matter, as long as there is one Pigeons are able to pass on information on it.

Mr. Liu took out the code book himself, and translated word by word. After all the translation was completed, he breathed a sigh of relief and handed the translated note to Zhang Nianshan. Zhang Nianshan took it over and took a look. The man said, "Send a message to the navy immediately."

Mr. Liu rewound the note that he had just taken out from the pigeon's feet, put it under the feet of the carrier pigeon that had been prepared, loosened his hands, and the carrier pigeon flew to Borneo across the strait with the note. At that time, the naval bases in Lion City and Pontianak also established carrier pigeon systems.

A few hours later, Shi Lang also received the news from Lion City, and the navy soldiers were relieved immediately. Now that the east wind has finally arrived, the whole army is preparing for the attack in three days' time.

Putt, the highest official of the Dutch reinforcements, stood on his ship Amsterdam. He ignored the glare of the sun, held up his monocular clairvoyance, and looked at the bumpy Portuguese army positions in front of him. In fact, he could only see the blurry The shadow, the artillery smoke fired from the battleship almost completely enveloped the Portuguese army's position.As the governor of the Netherlands and India, he does not need to participate in the war. The war is the business of those soldiers. However, this army to support Malacca was assembled by him. He is the highest official in the Netherlands here. Now that he has assembled the army, he will He can't leave by himself, but he also likes to watch his country's army abuse the enemy with superior force. If the enemy uses superior force to abuse his army, he will definitely not participate, but if he abuses the enemy, he is very happy. I am happy to watch those who beat the dog in the water.

The trade profits of the Netherlands in Southeast Asia are increasing year by year, but because Taiwan was captured by the Zheng family, the lost profits accounted for 25.5% of the total profits. Since the loss of Taiwan, the wealth shipped back to the Netherlands every year has been reduced by more than 50 Dutch guilders (Three Dutch guilders are equivalent to one tael of gold), but since they captured Malacca in the hands of the Portuguese, with the key region of Malacca, their profits last year reached an astonishing 300 million Dutch guilders or more. More than 20 business houses, originally lost the 160 million Dutch guilders after Taiwan, but now with Malacca, they have doubled the profits of the entire Southeast Asian company. With this achievement, he squeezed into the 17 people of the East India Company Members of the General Meeting of Shareholders.

Now that the Portuguese wanted to take back his Malacca, Putt hurriedly summoned more than half of the Dutch army in Southeast Asia to support Malacca. For his own interests and the interests of the country, Malacca must not be lost.It was under his emergency dispatch that the Dutch army in Southeast Asia was quickly mobilized. A group of more than 100 warships and nearly 1000 Dutch soldiers came to support Malacca, plus the remaining [-] Dutch soldiers in the Dutch mountain city of Malacca. , the total strength of the Dutch army exceeded [-], and they surrounded the Portuguese. The Portuguese took advantage of their previous familiarity with the Malacca region to occupy a favorable terrain and strictly guard against it. However, under the siege of many Dutch reinforcements, they persisted. Seeing that their position was already in jeopardy, and their supplies were probably exhausted, Putt knew that the Dutch army would soon win.

Unexpectedly, the Portuguese suddenly seemed to go crazy in the past two days, and their morale was boosted. They even rushed into the Portuguese positions yesterday, almost driving the attacking Dutch soldiers back into the sea.However, the disparity in military strength only caused more soldiers to die on both sides, and Putt didn't care too much about it. He regarded this counterattack as the last madness of the Portuguese. Maybe in a week, maybe in three to five days, he would be able to get rid of these things. He imagined the scene of interrogating the Portuguese supreme commander while drinking fragrant coffee.

Fleet Commander Leiyozhao, who stood beside Putt, did not have Putt's happy mood. Originally, he got along very well with Putt, the highest officer. Putt was only responsible for mobilizing the army to let him command. Although Putt Fleet Commander Leiyoz is very relieved that he will not interfere too much with his command on the ship, but what worries Leiyoz is that he has received information that a large number of fleets of the Chinese Empire died more than 20 days ago. All of a sudden, they made a massive move, and their intentions were unclear. The Chinese Empire undoubtedly had a powerful navy, and their country was still the source of trade. The Chinese Empire did not give up trade with them because of the original war, but this time it is different. With the help of the Portuguese, if the Portuguese are allowed to trade with the Chinese Empire, once the Chinese Empire and the Netherlands are officially torn apart If you open your face to the enemy, even if the Portuguese can't attack Malacca, the Portuguese will have a lot of income, and their Dutch trading profits will be greatly reduced. To be honest, the things of the Chinese Empire are really cheap and cheap. Okay, so I bought ten sets of sexy lingerie for my lover, and Putt next to him is even more exaggerated. I don’t know how many lovers this old guy has, and bought a hundred sets at once. Cheap and better quality mirrors, cheap and more scented perfumes, scented shampoos, shower gels, emerald-like toothpaste and cosmetics, etc. I can't imagine that I will live my life with itchy hair, without the fragrance on my body to attract women and lovers to complain that I don't buy her good things from the Chinese Empire, etc. Only then did he realize that without the goods of the Chinese Empire, life will become How boring.

And Leiyoz is even more worried, what if the fleet of the Chinese army wants to take advantage of it, and the army of the Chinese Empire stabs the Dutch behind them while the Dutch army and the Portuguese army are fighting in Malacca?He couldn't imagine it. It is said that the fleet of the Chinese Empire dispatched hundreds of frightening ships.

Fearing that the Chinese Empire's army would deal with the Dutch army, Leiyoz sent people more than once to inform the Dutch merchant ships that were trading with Japan and the Chinese Empire, asking them to pay close attention to the movements of the Chinese Imperial Navy fleet to prevent the Chinese Empire from suddenly attacking Malacca.

However, the next reward made Leiyoz puzzled. The direction of this powerful Chinese Empire sailed first to Priango, and then to Borneo. The other Dutch generals who got the reward were relieved. It turned out that the Chinese Empire The destination is Borneo. Although this continent is big, there are still forests, and the population is pitifully small. It doesn’t matter if the Chinese Empire occupies it. The Netherlands is not interested in such a place. Do you want to transport timber from there to Europe?That is of course impossible. For Chinese goods and spices and other Southeast Asian specialties and Japanese silver, that fool just went to get wood to trade to make money.

It's just that Lei Yuezi still feels uneasy. China's fleet dominated the entire Southeast Asia thousands of years ago, but it has never taken the initiative to seize any land. Now this country stretches out like a behemoth that has just woken up from a deep sleep. Once he has lost his minions, it will be difficult for his powerful minions to retract, but the strength of the Chinese Empire lies there, and it is a veritable Asian overlord. When he is sleeping, all kinds of birds, animals, and small fish and shrimps can enjoy themselves by his side. Joke, but once he wakes up, he only needs to roar, and all the things around him will retreat when they see his truly terrifying strength. He really doubts that the Chinese Empire dispatched hundreds of huge warships just to Occupy Borneo?He was a little puzzled.

A fast boat quickly approached the Amsterdam, and Reyoz's face changed. The Amsterdam was sitting with a governor in charge of the entire Nanyang power and a commander of the entire Nanyang fleet. Reported, and dispatched the Clippers, needless to say, something big must have happened.

Reyoz saw clearly the people on the Clippers and was even more disturbed. It was his deputy, Dutch Rear Admiral De Carpenter, who was the number two figure in the entire Dutch fleet. Why didn't he come here to command the battle?Reyoz felt that his fears were about to become reality.

As soon as DeCarpenter boarded the deck of the Amsterdam, Leiyoz who came over immediately asked: "General DeCarpenter, what happened that required you to come here in person?"

"Commander, something serious has happened. I just received a message from Feige that the Chinese Empire's naval fleet left Borneo early this morning and is heading towards Malacca?"

Hearing his words, Reyoz's face changed drastically, and he said, "Are you sure their direction is Malacca?" "That's right, they passed through the Lion City last night and stopped at Johor, if they set out early in the morning , and we can arrive here in two to three hours."

Although the Dutch have been monitoring the fleet of the Chinese Empire, and as soon as the Chinese Empire's army landed on the Lion City, the Dutch got the information, but the transmission of information is not telegrams or telephones after all. What happened yesterday and early this morning has not been transmitted until now Reyoz's ears.

Governor Pu Tuo was startled when he heard it, and temporarily woke up from his dream. He said, "It's unbelievable. What are the Chinese Empire's troops here for? Are they going to fight us?"

"General DeCarpenter, no matter what the purpose of the Chinese Empire's army is, I will authorize you to stop the attack on the Portuguese army's position immediately, and call back all the main fleets to intercept the Chinese Empire's fleet." Reyoz knew that he was worried. What happened, he hastily ordered. "Follow the order, my lord commander."

"You are crazy. You will start a war with the Chinese Empire. The current Chinese Empire is no better than the previous revolutionary army. Their current national strength is even stronger than that of the whole of Europe. What's more important is that the distance here is like At the doorstep of the Chinese Empire, and our mainland is more than ten times farther than theirs." Hearing Leiyoz's order, Putt almost jumped up.

"My lord, I am not crazy. We did not provoke this war. The huge fleet of the Chinese Empire passed through the Strait of Malacca at this time. Do you think they are here for peace?"

"Perhaps they really came for peace. Didn't their fleets do the same thing 300 years ago?" Putt was a little lacking in confidence. He just wanted to convince himself that his dream would not be shattered. Once he lost Malacca, he would lose the East India The position of the company's 17-member shareholders' meeting, and even his position as the governor may not be guaranteed.

Reyoz didn't bother to argue about the governor's whimsy. He waved to DeCarpenter and said, "General, go back to your command position. Remember, you are not allowed to fire first without my order." He didn't want to either. Instigated a war with the Chinese Empire, and now their main fleet is still in the country.

"Follow the order." "Wait." Seeing that Decabent was about to turn around and leave, Putt quickly stopped, "Should we give up the attack on the Portuguese now? What if they continue to attack our mountain city?" ?”

"The Portuguese's artillery has run out of shells. They can't pose any threat to our mountain city. Your Excellency, the land strength of the Chinese Empire is comparable to that of the whole of Europe. It can be seen from their attacks on South Asian countries. They can mobilize Millions of troops, this is not a joke, here is at their doorstep, every ounce of our strength must not be wasted, but we are not without opportunities, whether it is the Chinese Revolutionary Army or the Chinese Empire, compared to them In terms of local national strength, their fleet is not strong yet. Last time our fleet cost them more than half in their Yangtze River. If we defeat their main fleet again this time, maybe we will cut off this behemoth The protruding minions, if you fail, if you fail." Reyoz became difficult to speak, and he said with a dark face: "God, we will not fail!"

Decabent had just disembarked from the Amsterdam, and the orderlies on the flagship frantically raised the semaphore, sending out messages one after another. Due to the large number of ships, the orderlies of all the Dutch warships were sent by the communication order alone. It took half an hour to post it.

All the Dutch warships that received the order stopped shelling, slowly adjusted their course, hung up their sails, and began to form a team.Reyoz's monocular clairvoyance has not been put down. He saw that the Dutch fleet has adjusted its formation, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank God, fortunately, I never gave up on the surveillance of the Chinese fleet, otherwise if I waited until the Chinese fleet It would be a catastrophe if our main fleet drove us to find out, but we are waiting for work, it seems that our chances of winning are still very high."

Today’s weather is very good, the sun is hanging in the sky, although it is winter in the north, but the tropical sun still emits scorching light, but it is a little hot when it shines on people. On the black-brown rocks, there was a "squeak" sound, and the boundless blue water and the blue sky were reflected in the same color, as if they were melted together.

A huge ship without sails sailed out of the sea, breaking the calm of the sea. Two thick black smoke floated on the ship, followed by the second ship, and the third ship, all of which were full of black smoke. Without sails, there is nothing like the ships of various countries today.

In order to maintain the formation of the fleet, the entire huge fleet advances at a relatively slow speed, reaching 35 to [-] kilometers per hour. It is estimated that they will arrive at the battle site three to four hours after departure. The "Little Treasure" and another iron-clad wooden ship "Thunder" had to slow down again to keep pace with the entire fleet.

It has been sailing for two hours now, and there are at most two hours before we can meet the Dutch fleet. The naval officers and soldiers of the Chinese Empire on board are all standing on the deck to breathe the fresh air. Only the huge boiler is constantly burning. There was a thumping sound mixed with the sound of the propeller turning under the ship, and sometimes the sound of "woo-woo" when the chimney emitted black smoke. These sounds made all naval officers and soldiers not feel harsh, but there was a kind of saying They knew that this was the sound of their sharp weapons. With this army of sharp weapons, it is not a dream to conquer all directions and spread their prestige thousands of miles away.

Wei Xiaobao was in Xiaobao, thinking that he was uncomfortable eating, drinking and having fun with his brothers at the beginning, but later heard many storytellers talk about Zhang Huahan's biography of Zhang Huahan serving the country and the people, Wei Xiaobao thought that a man should live like this when he was born in the world That Zhang Huahan has a head and two hands, and he himself has a head and two hands. He has made contributions to make the common people in the land of China live a good life, and he can do it himself. Even if Zhang Huahan did not do more and more Okay, but it's good to be famous in history, so he played more and more, until now he has become a lieutenant officer of the Chinese Imperial Navy.

Thinking of this, Wei Xiaobao recalled the scene of gambling and playing with his brothers in the past, secretly dissatisfied with the system of the Chinese Imperial Army, the military regulations that cannot gamble made his gambling heart really helpless, he loves gambling very much , especially false dice.
