Chapter 189: Ye Kai's state soldiers
"Third brother! Eldest brother! As soon as Ye Kai landed on the island, he was hugged by two black people, he looked at the black man on the left who hugged his thighs and sat on the ground in disbelief, and carefully identified it for a moment, this seems, it seems to be really Gu Lihuan!
But in Ye Kai's impression, this is a slightly fat, majestic and powerful strong man, and it is by no means the dark and thin figure in front of him.
After a pause, he looked at the guy holding his other leg again, is this Zhenwu? They were almost as thin as bamboo poles, and their heads, arms, shoulders, and thighs were wrapped in white cloth.
"Brother Shuwu! You're back, those damned Bugis killed so many of our Ye brothers and sisters, and those Malays have also rebelled, you must avenge us! ”
In the end, he was a seventeen-year-old boy, when Ye Kai didn't come back, Ye Zhenwu was extremely strong, but now when he saw Ye Kai, he couldn't hold it anymore, and tears rushed through the blood marks on his blood-stained face, which looked funny and terrifying!
"Definitely! You go and take a break first! Ye Kai patted Ye Zhenwu on the shoulder, and then pulled Gu Lihuan on the ground up.
"Three... Shu Wu, I'm sorry for you, I couldn't finish what you told me, the good situation you left behind has been ruined, you kill me! I'm ashamed of your trust! Gu Lihuan's face was full of shame, and he couldn't even shout out the third brother.
"Second brother! It's not your problem alone, the Ye family has a problem, and I also have a problem, but fortunately, I'm back, and I brought so many warships and Westerner mercenaries, let's settle accounts with these Malay monkeys one by one, calculate it clearly, and get it back with interest! ”
Ye Kai was silent for a long time, if you want to say that Gu Lihuan has no problem, it must be false, before he left, he handed over almost all the internal affairs to Gu Lihuan, and specially bowed to him, so that he recognized Ye Fulai as his father-in-law, but it turned out to be like this, he was squeezed out of the Ye family.
Maybe it's because Gu Lihuan is still young now, and he hasn't reached the level of the Malay Peninsula in history, so there is also a pot fueled by Ye Kaimiao.
"That's right! Shuwu! We can't wait, we have to keep chasing, you lend me 300 of your elite soldiers from the west, and the Bugis have broken through the North Rhine-Westburg I have set up.
There are hundreds of people in the dock fort, they can't all be killed, they are probably locked up, there is still a large amount of food in the dock fort, don't let the Bugis burn it! ”
After venting his emotions twice, his IQ returned to Gu Lihuan's body, and he felt very sorry for the three-room people of the Ye family who came to Penang with him, so he was anxious to rescue them!
"Second brother! You take a break, I'll send someone else! Ye Kai shook his head, Gu Lihuan's current appearance looked extremely weak, and Ye Kai was a little worried that he wouldn't be able to hold on!
"Nope! Let me go, only I am most familiar with the way to NRWB, I must rescue the other people in the third room, I can't be sorry for them! ”
"Okay!" Ye Kai nodded, "Lieutenant Oudino, you lead two hundred soldiers of the First Regiment to escort this gentleman!" ”
Alexander. Shire. With his heroic fighting, Oudino has become a lieutenant officer that Ye Kai trusts very much!
。。。。
Penang Castle, sent away the hurried Gu Lihuan, Ye Kai now summoned all the officers to the conference room of the castle, after more than an hour of naval battle, the Bugis were sunk more than 20 warships, large and small, and Ye Kai's losses were very small.
Except for the slightly more serious loss of the Interceptor, which needed to be repaired, there were basically no major problems with the warship, and a total of a few sailors were killed in the battle.
And Ye Kai's main contradiction now is how to deal with the relationship with the Dutch, because he found a big problem, his naval captains and officers have no opinion on attacking the local natives, but they generally do not agree to fight the Dutch.
"Your Excellency, the Governor of Batavia of the Dutch East India Company has more than thirty warships, and his two third-class battleships are no worse than ours, and the fourth-class battleships are far superior to ours, plus dozens of armed merchant ships that are nimble and familiar with the sea, we are not sure that we can easily defeat them!" The captain of the Interceptor, Major Browning, spoke first.
"Yes, Your Excellency, the Dutch East India Company fleet is not a suitable target.
Our fleet was very tired after eight months of ocean voyages, and although you advised us to bring lemons and oranges, and vegetables such as sprouts grown from soybeans, there were still many sailors suffering from sepsis, and they were all in dire need of treatment!
And with the exception of the sailors and soldiers on the Deep Sea Shark, who were regular Royal Navy soldiers, the other ships were made up of sailors and retired naval soldiers, who could not fully utilize the combat effectiveness of these ships.
So I propose that we show enough goodwill to the Viceroyalty of Batavia to ensure that we can pass through the Strait of Manraka safely and quickly! Even if it's time to fight, it's only after you've rested! ”
Jean. Wilson also objected, and it seemed that this was not his opinion, but the opinion of some white-skinned naval officers.
Ye Kai nodded approvingly, and there was no reluctance on his face, but he had already scolded these slippery white-skinned people in his heart.
Although he has been getting along for more than half a year, Ye Kai still can't let these white skins treat him as his own.
Even though they are divided into the French gang and the British gang, these two groups of people are surprisingly consistent in their treatment of Ye Kai, that is, they respect Ye Kai, but they will not obey Ye Kai in all key matters.
The encounter in front of him reminded Ye Kai of Grandpa Qi, who began to fight against the Japanese in Zhejiang, and he first relied on the extremely grouped Chuzhou soldiers.
The soldiers in Chuzhou fought bravely and were well-equipped, but every time before the war, they had to be summed up by their own officers, they felt that they would die if they had fought too much, if they felt that they were likely to not be able to fight, then they would never go up, and in the end, Qi Jiguang had no choice but to start another stove to find people from obligation, Dongyang and other places to be soldiers.
And these white naval officers recruited by Ye Kai through various channels are Ye Kai's 'state soldiers'.
He has to find a way to dismantle these white-skinned alliances, otherwise he won't be able to really master this fleet, Ye Kai touched his chin and thought.
"Jean! You mean that I should send someone to explain to the Dutch in Batavia? Will this work? After scolding in his heart, Ye Kai showed an open attitude to accept his opinions.
"Needless to say, Your Excellency, I don't think the Dutch must have reacted yet, we will set off at once, the Dutch will not be able to gather the fleet in a short time.
As long as we don't attack Batavia or the fortress of Manraka, I think there is no problem in passing through the Strait of Manraka quickly, and the artillery that the Dutch placed in the fortress of Manraka will not block the entire strait! ”
Jean squinted his eyes and shook his head, looking like the British Navy was invincible.
