Under the coercion and inducement of Vizos, the governor of Batavia, the other overseas Chinese leaders soon chose to pay the money, and they not only had to pay the money themselves, but also undertook part of the apportionment task, and this money also achieved its due effect, and everyone became friends of the Dutch East India Company.

"To our friends, we will never let him suffer!"

Vizos had a little pride on his face, he was already quite happy to be able to knock out such a large amount of money from the Chinese, and immediately smiled: "We will do our best to protect your safety and interests, by the way, after defeating Ning Chu in the future, we will also give you more benefits!" ”

Everyone had to praise Vizos loudly to show their inner respect, especially Liu Rulong praised him a lot, which made Vizos very happy, and it was not until the end that the guests and hosts were happy and everyone dispersed.

After most of them left, Vizos motioned for Liu Rulong to stay and took him into the study, which made Liu Rulong overjoyed, almost thinking that he had completely become Vizos's cronies.

As the governor of Batavia, Vizos's study was naturally different, not only decorated with a large number of porcelain, calligraphy and paintings from China, but also many local indigenous decorations, which looked a little nondescript, and highlighted some indigenous barbaric characteristics in the steady Chinese elegance.

However, these did not attract Liu Rulong, what really made him unable to take his eyes off was a model of a sail battleship in the study, exquisite and excellent workmanship, which made the whole battleship look lifelike and majestic.

Seeing Liu Rulong staring at the model of the sailing ship, Vizos smiled slightly, "It is currently the most advanced warship in the Netherlands, the Seven Provinces, and it made immortal achievements against England back then, but it's a pity that we can't really have such a battleship, we can only look at the model." ”

Liu Rulong naturally didn't want to let go of this opportunity to make a fool of himself, and said repeatedly: "With the Governor's business in Nanyang, there will be sooner or later in the future...... The Doge just needs to be patient. ”

Vizos laughed, and he patted Liu Rulong on the shoulder, "Liu, do you know? You are much smarter than those people, I know very well what they think, it's nothing more than that Ning Chu hasn't come over yet, and when Ning Chu's navy arrives in Batavia, they will choose to surrender to Cheng as soon as possible——"

However, they did not think hard about who was in charge in Batavia at the moment...... What they think is clever is the real joke. ”

A trace of disdain flashed on Vizos's face, it was obvious that for this governor, he still knew very well what the overseas Chinese thought, and looked at Liu Rulong with a meaningful face, and said with a smile: "But it doesn't matter, those who don't want to cooperate are enemies, in fact, I have found a better partner to cooperate with." ”

"What collaborators?" Liu Rulong subconsciously felt that something was wrong in his heart, and he stared at Wizos tightly.

Wizos said coldly: "I have reached a new agreement with several great chiefdoms, inviting them to become our allies in order to defend against Ning Chu's army in the future, and as for the reward, it will be the Chinese of the entire Indonesia." ”

"This ...... This ......." Liu Rulong was dumbfounded, he had just paid the money, why did he suddenly .......

Vizos smiled, turned around and sat down in the chair, and said casually: "Liu, you can rest assured, Ning Chu hasn't called yet, hasn't he?" Besides, even if I call, I will save your family's lives at that time, of course, this favor naturally can't be in vain, after all, safety is a luxury! ”

Liu Rulong swallowed his saliva, only to feel that his back was covered with cold sweat, this red-haired devil was too ruthless......

........

While the undercurrents of the South China Sea were surging, Guangzhou became more and more prosperous and lively, a large number of merchant ships were anchored in the port of Guangzhou, and many laborers were moving goods to the wharf, most of which were porcelain and tea, and the others were some special products and gadgets from the interior.

Of course, many people don't know that there is also a wharf twenty miles next to the Guangzhou wharf, but it is not a commercial port, but a real military wharf, on which dozens of warships have been docked, among which the largest six sail warships are densely packed with gun emplacements on both sides.

Ning Qianqiu, dressed in the uniform of the Fu Han Army, walked down the ramp of the battleship, and at this time there were several other people standing on the shore, led by Admiral Qiu Ze, who was leading several generals of the navy to wait here.

When Ning Qianqiu walked to the shore, he hurriedly saluted Qiu Ze, after all, the other party's official rank was strictly much bigger than him, and said with a smile: "Ning came to Guangzhou, but there was a Laoqiu military gate waiting here, so I was really scared." ”

From an outsider's point of view, it is indeed a little unusual, after all, Qiu Ze is already a lieutenant general, and Ning Qianqiu does not have the rank of general, only a colonel, and the status of the other party is not half a point.

But in the eyes of real insiders, it is not like that, the reason is very simple, first, Qiu Ze's title is not as good as Ning Qianqiu, and second, although Ning Qianqiu's military rank is low, his position is very important.

When Ning Yu set up the shadow and the military intelligence department, he deliberately lowered the rank and rank of the chief officer, among them, like Shi Xue, the director of the military intelligence department, only had the rank of major general, and the official character of Ning Luoyuan, the head of the shadow department, was only the fourth grade, the reason was because these two departments belonged to the power department, so they could not be too big in name, otherwise there would be no checks and balances.

Qiu Ze naturally understood the special status of the other party in his heart, and he also smiled at the moment, and then made a gesture of invitation, and took Ning Qianqiu back to the temporary command yamen set up by the Admiralty in Guangzhou.

Ning Qianqiu immediately smiled and said: "People who don't know still think that this is the shadow stronghold in Guangzhou, but this also reminds me that the place we are looking for is not as secret as Qiu Junmen, which is really a dereliction of duty!" ”

Qiu Ze laughed loudly, "That's not the case, we have a heavy responsibility to come to Guangzhou this time, and the matters involved are extremely confidential, so we must not divulge anything." ”

"It looks like it's really about to ......fight," Ning Qianqiu sighed slightly.

Qiu Ze smiled silently, and after taking Ning Qianqiu through the layers of sentry posts, he walked into the command hall of the Admiralty, only to see that in this large mansion, a huge sand table was erected, but compared to the ordinary sand table, most of it was water, and only a few pieces of land were exposed on the water, which was obviously imitating the surrounding waters of the South Seas.

Ning Qianqiu couldn't help but take a few steps forward, and saw several wooden sailing ship models on the water, which looked extremely exquisite, and there were some small flags representing the army on the side of the water, and he immediately understood that this was a joint attack on land and water.

Speaking of which, in the current battle examples of Ningchu, there are not many battles for joint attacks on land and water, such as the first battle of attacking Kagoshima, which was the choice of landing, as well as the battle of Liaoxi and the battle of Korea, the way of landing was chosen, and this attack on Nanyang is obviously indispensable for landing battles, and it can even be said that due to the geographical environment of Nanyang, most of the battles will be decided by landing battles.

Qiu Ze saw that Ning Qianqiu was quite interested, so he stood aside and introduced: "At present, the navy's summary and drill of the landing battle is quite mature, as long as it can completely defeat the navy of the Dutch East India Company, the landing operation can be carried out, and then the Nanyang Islands will become a turtle in the urn, but this aspect also needs the military intelligence department and the shadow to provide relevant information." ”

Ning Qianqiu nodded slightly, and said softly: "I came here today to give you bad news, the Dutch East India Company's original estimate of the number of naval warships is wrong, because they have new warships coming from Europe, which were originally rotated, but the current situation does not allow them to stay for a long time." ”

"How many? What class of battleship? ”

Qiu Ze frowned, this news was simply a bolt from the blue, you must know that the rotation time they estimated was at least two years later, but now it has been advanced.

Ning Qianqiu smiled bitterly: "At present, my people only know that there is this news, and the deeper military intelligence is not clear, we are ready to cooperate with the Military Intelligence Department to get specific information, but at the moment there is one thing that can be confirmed, the Dutch seem to be very clear about our intentions......"

Qiu Ze sighed, he looked out the door, and then said softly: "The news here in Guangzhou has almost become a sieve, whether it is the local merchants or those idle splashes, it is possible to leak the news of the warship stationed in Guangzhou." ”

Ning Qianqiu has been engaged in intelligence work for a long time, so he naturally knows this, "We will carry out a purge in Guangzhou soon, and we can wash out most of the spies at that time, but judging from the current matter, I am very worried that the Dutch will prepare in advance, and the war may not go so smoothly at that time." ”

Qiu Ze nodded, stretched out his hand and picked up a model of a battleship from the water, then placed it near Surabaya, and said softly: "Although the navy is still exercising, the preliminary plan has been drawn up, and when the time comes, our naval division will directly launch a surprise attack on Surabaya, so as to coerce the Dutch navy in Batavia to fight a decisive battle with us at sea." ”

Ning Qianqiu knew the purpose of doing this, the reason was that Batavia had been operated by the Dutch for a long time, and had become a very strong fortress city, especially the navy of the Dutch East India Company was basically stationed in Batavia, so it was simply impossible to attack Batavia from the sea.

On the contrary, it is a good idea to attract the naval and army of Batavia to come to support by attacking Surabaya, and then a decisive battle on the sea can be completely realized, as long as the navy of the Dutch East India Company is eliminated, it is only a matter of time before Batavia is captured.

Once Batavia is completely captured, the Fu Han army can gradually capture the entire Java island along Batavia, and then gradually expand to Sumatra, Borneo and Sulawesi through landing operations, so as to establish a strategic advantage in the South Seas.

After all, without the Dutch blocking, it would be difficult for those Portuguese to threaten the Fu Han army alone, but the natives on these islands would have a great impact on the Fu Han army.

Qiu Ze continued: "This plan is just an idea, and there are many places in the middle that need the help of shadows.......

Ning Qianqiu said softly: "It's not that I didn't do anything when I went to Indonesia this time, among the Chinese in Nanyang, we can still speak, especially those Chinese on Borneo and Java, but they are all looking forward to Wang Shi coming to Nanyang as soon as possible......

Speaking of this, Ning Qianqiu also sighed a little, he found that some of his cognition of the Nanyang Chinese was actually not objective enough, and when it came to patriotism, they were really not bad at all.

Although some of them did not have much money themselves, they still hoped to donate to the shadow as a fund in Nanyang, but of course this was naturally rejected by Ning Qianqiu.

There are also many Chinese in Surabaya who even spontaneously organized, saying that they would raise troops when the Ningchu navy arrived in Surabaya, and when the time came, they would be able to capture Surabaya more quickly with them from Surabaya City......

Ning Qianqiu said softly: "Your Majesty has great hopes for us, and also hopes that we can successfully take Nanyang, and when the time comes, not only Taiwan can be annexed, but the situation in the entire Southeast Asia will also be in my hands, this plan must not fail, otherwise you and I will have no shame to meet Your Majesty." ”

"Yes, then the follow-up plan needs to be improved, we must win........" Qiu Ze's face showed a trace of solemnity, and his tone was very deep.

..........

"Your Majesty, I just received news that Chen Daoxian's troops have captured Lhasa and captured the Seventh Dalai Lama alive!"

In Nanjing City, in the Fengtian Palace, Cui Wancai, the first assistant of the cabinet, walked in happily with a letter, he loudly told Ning Yu the news, and then handed over the fold.

As soon as Ning Yu heard the news, the whole person was a little shocked, you must know that although Chen Daoxian began to go in the direction of Qinghai-Tibet at the beginning of last year, after all, he had experienced entanglement with Nian Qianyao and others before, and the time to really enter Qinghai-Tibet was in July, but he didn't expect that in less than a year, Chen Daoxian would take Lhasa!

Ning Yu hurriedly took Cui Wancai's fold, which was presented by Chen Daoxian, and quickly opened it and looked at it carefully, and immediately understood the reason.

In fact, it is very simple to say, that is, Chen Daoxian went to Qinghai-Tibet this time, in fact, he was lucky enough to get such a good result!

Since the beginning of the Kangxi period, the Jungar Department has attacked Qinghai-Tibet, and also killed Lazang Khan, and drove away the Mongol and Shuote departments, which greatly reduced the strength of the Qinghai-Tibet native faction.

The latter situation is simple, it is precisely because of the previous war, after the Qing court shrank back from Qinghai-Tibet, there was also a strategic gap here.
