"Who is the fleet commander? Stand out!"
It was in Dutch, and the Dutchman in the fleet heard it.
Damn it, these flower gardeners were really rude. They relied on their martial strength to bully the weak. They were shameless.
Van Persie was angry, but he did not dare to show it on his face. He stood up with a smile and bowed.
"Respected General Ming, I am Kance van Persie, the commander of the Second Fleet of the Dutch East India Company.”
"What's on the ship?"
Li Qingshan leaned against the guardrail and asked from above. His Dutch was very fluent and there was no communication barrier at all.
Van Persie did not dare to be negligent and answered honestly, because this person was obviously a high-ranking general.
"Uh, 450,000 Jin of silver, 220,000 Jin of gold, and some products that are unique to Dongnamya.”
So much gold and silver?
Li Qingshan gasped.
Reba had an expert translator who knew Dutch in the live broadcast room. When she heard this number, her beautiful eyes widened and she looked like she was a money-grubber.
Oh my god, is colonization and plundering so profitable? Hundreds of thousands of catties of gold and silver were too exaggerated.
[Tsk tsk, don't look down on the Netherlands now. They rely on maritime trade and colonial plundering, but they are the first capitalist country in the world!]
[In the 15th and 16th centuries, the Netherlands once dominated the world with the world's most developed shipbuilding and navigation technology. It was known as the sea carriage driver and was also the first capitalist class in the world to take power. It is also the first capitalist country. The Netherlands is still one of the 11 most developed countries in the world today.]
" I'm not bragging about being a coachman at sea. At its peak, the Dutch merchant ships accounted for three-quarters of the total European tonnages at that time. They had 15,000 merchant ships and almost monopolized the maritime trade. I'm so envious!]
[What's wrong? Right now, he was still the meat on Zhu Weichu's lips!]
On the deck, Li Qingshan turned his head and asked,""Your Majesty, what should we do?"
Zhu Weichu thought about it and came up with a plan.
"The gold and silver must have been plundered by them from the colony of East Manya. As the suzerain of all Asian countries, it is necessary for the Great Ming to uphold justice for our vassal countries. How about this, confiscate all the property of this Dutch East India Company fleet and whip everyone thirty times!”
？？？
Li Qingshan was stunned. How could His Majesty say such a thing?
Yang Shiqi, Yu Qian, Xiong Gang, and the other ministers were shocked.
Reba blinked, feeling a little confused.
[Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. Robbery is robbery, but you still want to pin a crime on the Dutchman and find an excuse for yourself. Why does this feel a little familiar?]]
[I like this shameless look. I can conclude that Zhu Weichu has never been harmed by Confucianism. That's great.]]
[Yes, Holy Mother. The 18th century was the beginning of the industrial age. Which western power didn't make their fortune through colonization and plunder? If he wanted to become the world's number one in planting flowers, he had to occupy all of Southeast Asia, Australia, and Central Asia.]
[Hehe, Southeast Asia has rubber, Australia is rich in mineral resources, especially iron ore. Its reserves are the world's number one, and Central Asia's oil resources are the world's number one. I'm drooling!]
[Fatty Di, you have to spread the benefits of colonization to Zhu Weichu, do you understand?!]]
Reba rolled her eyes. These netizens were really worried. Before Zhu Zhenglong died, he should have elaborated on the benefits of colonial plunder in detail, right?
Look at Zhu Weichu's bandit appearance, he's even more of a western bandit than a western bandit.
The only difference between them and the western bandits was that Zhu Weichu still had some dignity before he robbed, while the western bandits robbed without any dignity.
"Your Majesty is wise. All the countries in Asia are vassal states of Great Ming. The Dutch are bullying our vassal states. If Great Ming remains silent, it will damage Great Ming's dignity!”
After Li Qingshan understood, he immediately gave him a thumbs up.
"Go, hurry up. Don't waste time.”
Zhu Weichu waved his hand, and Li Qingshan immediately ordered the Marine Corps to put down the landing craft and board the fleet of the Dutch East India Company.
Soon, screams rose and fell.
Thirty lashes per person was definitely torture. In this era where there were no antibiotics and medical standards were backward, even a wound infection could be fatal.
Fantasy gritted his teeth and took the whip without even grunting.
Whether his life was more important or his belongings was more important, he could still tell.
Damned Da Ming, sooner or later, this hatred will be returned to you a hundred or a thousand times!
Zhu Weichu didn't care about the Dutch 'feelings. As his memories awakened, he hated Westerners to the bone. If he wasn't busy exterminating them, he would have gone to Ozhou to burn, kill, and plunder.
"To resist the barbarians, we must first stabilize the country. We will collect some interest for now. After we destroy the Miqing and stabilize the country, we will come to settle accounts with you.
……
Guangzhou.
In order to guard against the Ming army, Qianlong mobilized hundreds of thousands of Green Camp Han soldiers to the coastal areas. As a port city for trade, Guangzhou had a very strong defense force.
After Ah Gui led 50,000 elite troops of the Eight Banners to Guangzhou, the defense force became even stronger. The Qing army in the surrounding areas of Guangzhou had reached 150,000.
"Great General, the Dutch used military pigeons to send a message. The Ming bandits are in the East Manya Sea and have robbed a fleet of their East India Company. They are now heading north towards the Qing Dynasty.”
Deputy General Abali rushed into the governor's yamen and reported urgently.
The Ming army is here?
When Ah Gui learned of this bad news, his expression changed, and he was very nervous.
From the information sent from Europe, it could be concluded that the steel warships of the Ming bandits were equipped with a large number of huge cannons. They had a long range and great power, and could easily destroy the coastal defense works.
In comparison, the Qing army's Hong Yi Cannon was too weak, and it was almost impossible for it to cause any damage to the Ming bandits 'giant ships.
Therefore, there was only one way to resist the invasion of the Ming bandits, which was to lure the enemy deep in and fight on land.
"Everyone, express your opinions! How should they defend against the Bright Bandits coming ashore to seize the city?”
"Great General, the Ming Thieves have sharp firearms. They can use sacks to fill up the sand and build a waist-high sandbag wall to block the bullets. Our soldiers will hide behind the sandbags and shoot with the muskets!”
Zhang Shiqing, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, suddenly had a whim.
Sandbags?
Ah Gui thought about it and felt that this method was indeed useful.
As the imperial court lifted the ban on firearms, dozens of workshops were built in the rich southern region. They could forge hundreds of firearms every day, so the Qing army had a lot of firearms.
However, how should he use this gun? Ah Gui had always felt that the Westerners 'line infantry tactics were very rigid. The soldiers lined up and faced the enemy in a daze. What was the difference between them and sending themselves to their deaths?
"Alright, we'll follow Lord Zhang's plan. Inform the city guards to immediately install sandbags to guard against the Ming bandits!”
