Hans Putmans had now confirmed that the invaders were the Aussies who had occupied the Dogfight.
The night attack by the Aussies a few days ago was an unsuccessful military reconnaissance. Today, they came back with hundreds of people.
According to the Ming translator who had just entered the city of Zelanjo, the Australian soldiers had many flags. It was unknown who the leader was. There were more than 20 flags that could be identified. The other flags with unknown meanings such as " Rome " and " America " were the surnames of the Australian leaders.
The Aussies were strange pirates, and Hans had a first impression of them.
The company attached great importance to collecting information on the major pirate forces in China, such as Chu Cai, Liu Xiang, Li Guozhu, Yang Lu (6), Yang Ce (7), Zheng Zhilong, who had already been recruited, and so on.
It was almost unheard of for a small force like the Aussies to suddenly appear. This kind of mob that organized a few hundred people to rob and raise dozens of flags was as common as the hairs on an ox along the coast of Ming Country. In the morning, they were fishermen, in the afternoon, they were pirates, and after a few days, they became the underlings of a large group of pirates.
"Who exactly are the Aussies?
" They call themselves the former Song Miao."
The interpreter paused for a moment, trying to find a description that the red-haired man could understand: 1,000 Australian men with shaved hair and changed clothes claimed to be the remnants of the former Song Dynasty, and the descendants of the Chinese were equivalent to the people of the previous dynasty who had returned to their homeland and were searching for their roots.
The Australian leader was called " Wang Kaizhi ". He was not usually called " shopkeeper " but " chief ". It was said that it was a habit that the Aussies had developed in New World's " Australia Island."
However, when this explanation poured into Hans 'mind, it became another meaning. This group of Aussies were once Chinese nobles. Now, they had returned to their homeland to seize the land of their ancestors and the throne in the capital to revive their country.
" The Prince's Revenge " was a popular scene in European aristocratic society. Hans had also been fortunate enough to watch a play by William shakespeare, so he had a special feeling for the avenger who had suffered a great deal.
However, that was all Hans could say about the " royalty ". Even if the Aussies were rumored to have the bloodline of the former royal high officials, it would only allow them to win the honor of raising their flags and surrendering after being defeated. Hans had no doubt that he could defeat the Australian army.
Even in the 17th century, the European countries still maintained the so-called " gentlemanly demeanor " between countries when they were engaged in a dynasty war. If they were defeated and surrendered, they could still preserve their dignity and lives.
When the war ended, both sides would sit down and sign a contract, just like chess players playing on a chessboard, and the chess pieces were their bloody subjects.
In 1642, the powerful Grand Official Merchant House sent troops to the northern part of Dongyi to attack the Spanish stronghold. After defeating the Spanish, they allowed the enemy to leave the stronghold with dignity.
This was not because the Dutchman was a gentleman. If the enemy was a lowly pirate, civilian, or even a heretic, then they would die…
Hans raised his binoculars and looked at the desert on the other side. The chaotic Australian soldiers were scattered around like pepper. They rushed into the residential area and gradually surrounded the Japanese village.
"Desperate nobles." Hans's lips curled up slightly and he smiled contemptuously.
The nobles of the previous dynasty had actually been reduced to hiring scumbags and pirates as guards. It was really an indescribable sorrow. Hans felt both pity and gloating.
The Chikan residential area without any armed forces was quickly occupied by the Aussies. There were only about 200 Fujian fishermen and sailors living in Chikan, and there were only a few dozen houses that were not worth mentioning. It was not a pity to hand them over to the Aussies. It was more like Hans was looking forward to the Aussies fighting the Japanese trading villages.
Those Japanese were unruly and never obeyed the company's management and arrangements. They even triggered the Hamada Yasubei incident last year, which directly led to the dismissal of the previous senior officer. Peter Louis was even sentenced to two years in prison by the company.
However, the conflict between the two sides had already caused bad consequences. The Japanese side closed the company's business hall in Hirado, Japan, and banned the Dutchman from trading in Japan. For this reason, the company felt that the situation was very serious. Some people had suggested that Peter Louis be sent to Japan to be punished by the Japanese side in order to appease Japan and resume the company's trade with Japan as soon as possible.
Hans ordered the soldiers to arm their muskets and operate the cannons while waiting for the intense battle that he was looking forward to.
However, the scene he expected did not happen. As a few pirates dressed in Japanese clothes spoke ill of Hans at the entrance of the village, they spat out a mouthful of salt soda. He could not let go of the situation that did not go as he wished!
The arrogant Japanese had opened up the village so easily?!
The Japanese were always arrogant and unruly towards the Dutch, but they were so obedient and cooperative towards the Chinese?
He was furious. Hans felt like he had been defeated!
In fact, the method for the players to open the Japanese village was very simple. A group of players who claimed to be fans of the Shogunate's total war cosplayed the appearance of the Sengoku samurai. They stood at the entrance of the village and shouted," Lord Mingguo asked me to bring you a message,"" Japanese don't fight Japanese,"" Cherry blossoms in my hometown are blooming," and so on. These Japanese words were regarded by the Japanese villages as their compatriots.
There was no need to worry about language communication. The experienced Two-Spiked Ape could speak Japanese fluently. Even if there were some differences between modern Japanese and ancient Japanese, Japan, which was deeply influenced by the Chinese cultural circle, could communicate with the Chinese through the "pen chat" method without any hindrance.
Therefore, under the " intimidation " of the Ming Kingdom's Lord and the guidance of the " compatriots ", the Japanese village opened its doors.
The players who had planned to rush into the village to make a scene suddenly realized that there were not only Japanese in the village, but also a small number of Fujian fishermen who had mistakenly thought that pirates had landed and hid in the village.
There were more than 200 people in the village, and all of them had white names above their heads, which meant that players could not " legally " rob them.
This was naturally Wang Kaizhi's arrangement. This Japanese trading station had established a stable trade line for Japanese merchants. There were Japanese merchants who came to buy and sell goods regularly. For Wang Kaizhi, the supplier was particularly important.
To develop from scratch, not only did one need people, but they also needed a steady stream of materials. Japanese merchants were an important supply channel. Once Wang Kaizhi's power grew, he could organize his own fleet to monopolize trade with Japan.
From another point of view, in a few years, Japan would be closed off from the outside world, and the Japanese who stayed abroad would become homeless wanderers. At that time, Wang Kaizhi would lure them, and they would not have to worry about not having a party to lead the way to conquer Japan. As for whether they would amputate Japan or support Japan's " Tokugawa Cixi," that was a matter for the future.
What was more important now was how to attack the high-ranking officials in the Taijiang inland sea after taking down Chikan and entering the Japanese village.
Most of the players who didn't know about Tainan were stunned by the shore. They had thought that the high-ranking officials would be like the head of Zhejiang Province, which was like Ningpo. They would be able to reach the Yellow Dragon by foot, but they didn't expect that their final destination was the Zhoushan Archipelago, which was separated by the sea. They still had to cross the sea.
In their hands. There were only a few sampans placed along the shores of the Scarlet Desert. Each sampan carried ten people, but there were more than 500 players. If they took the sampans in batches and landed on the sandbar where the high-ranking officials were, wouldn't they be committing the taboo of the military, the " fuel tactic "?
"F * ck, why didn't I know we had to cross the sea before attacking the high officials?”A player who didn't read the quest description exclaimed.
