Admiral Dutchman Tromp, the flagship of the Chinese army, led forty warships to attack!

His lieutenants will be Jost Bonket, John Iverson, Witt de DeWitt;

The former flagship of the army, Admiral Robert Blake, the British, led thirty warships to attack!

His lieutenants will be George Estell, Michael Parker, Richard Dean;

The flagship of the rear army, Admiral Marcos del Spaniard, Porto, led thirty-two battleships to attack!

The generals sent by the Netherlands and Britain are very tough, Tromp is the first good man of the Dutch Navy, and Blake the turnip head is one of the pioneers of the British Royal Navy, known as the "father of the British Royal Navy"!

Their lieutenants are all good hands, this time the countries of the red hair across the three oceans to kill people and goods are all fierce gods and evil spirits--- a clear example, they drove heavy sail period double-deck warships to Asia, none of them had an accident at sea halfway, all arrived smoothly, showing a very high seafaring ability.

Looking at their ship skills, they invariably operated the same way, smoothly grabbed the wind, the speed was fast, and the level was superior.

Tromp looked at the fleet with a satisfied expression, and he asked Carl Vignierel, the high commissioner of the Dutch East India Company, who was traveling with him: "Is it necessary to use so many people against the Chinese, or even ask me to come with Blake the turnip!" ”

He has fought many battles with the Englishman Radish Head Black, knows the roots, and knows that everyone is a first-class master of naval warfare, and sending one of them has the role of the Sea King Trident (Dinghaishen Needle), not to mention that the two of them are on it together!

He didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to fight against the turnip-headed Blake!

Karl said categorically: "It's too necessary! ”

He asked Tromp, "Do you know the Spice Islands?" ”

"Yes!" Tromp replied.

Looking at the blue sea, Karl said leisurely: "The Spice Islands used to be ours, but now they are controlled by the Chinese, and we used to buy a shipload of spices in the Spice Islands at a cost of 3,600 pounds, and when they were shipped to the London market, they could be sold for 36,000 pounds!" ”

"Hmm!" Tromp heard about it, and heard Karl say: "The spice business is extremely profitable, the key is that it can balance our trade, the Spaniards have silver, we have spices!" ”

"You drink tea, don't you?" Carl asked.

"Drink tea!" Tromp admitted: "I drink tea as water, it's better than drinking!" ”

"That's right!" Carl agreed: "Drinking alcohol can make people fall into the sea, but drinking tea can make people more energetic!" ”

"There are countless people on the land of the Ming Dynasty in the East, and they produce tea, porcelain, and the silk we wear!" The material of the clothes on the body of the Kalmo shark is made of high-grade silk of the Ming Dynasty.

"There are so many of them, we can't land, we can only occupy the sea, trade with them, and with spices, we can still balance our bills, otherwise, our silver will not go in and out."

"The Chinese are a hard-working race, and since the Chinese got to Southeast Asia, there are a lot of Chinese who have arrived in Southeast Asia, and they have developed the islands, and they have grown a lot of grain, and they have also grown sugar cane, tea, cassava and all kinds of fruits! There are countless fish in the sea, and they have come up with all kinds of strange food, such as shark fin, abalone, crocodile, sea cucumber, and even swallow saliva can be sold for money! They opened up new sources of wealth, in their Jinshan province, found a lot of gold, they also planted oil palm everywhere, the oil can be lit at night, can also be used to eat, in addition, they also developed tin ore, oil, coal, iron, etc., very prosperous, there is a lot of wealth every year! ”

"There is such a thing!" Tromp was a newcomer, he only knew spices, and he didn't know much about Southeast Asia, but he didn't expect Southeast Asia to become so rich, he was dumbfounded and shocked when he heard it: "They even eat crocodiles?" ”

The red-haired fan knows the power of the crocodile, and it can be called a hegemon in the water, and he can't imagine that the Chinese even dare to eat the crocodile.

"Yes, the Chinese eat everything, the fins of sharks can be made into shark fins, they hunt a lot of sharks, to tell you the truth, I hunt sharks in the Red Sea, I killed 10,000 sharks in one summer, sold them to the Chinese, and made a thousand silver dollars!"

"Not only that, but they also collect the fish bubbles (fish fat) of the big fish to make fish maw, and we also catch a lot of groupers in the Red Sea, the bigger the better, and the fish maw that can be made is also big, so we catch all the stone fish along the coast there in five years!" Carl recalls his days as a fisherman, day and night, it was a lot of hard work for the Chinese!

Shark fin, fish maw, sea cucumber and abalone, the essential ingredients of the famous dish "Buddha jumping over the wall".

Well, the initiator Yan Dashao admitted that the Chinese were led crooked by him, he just wanted to drink "Buddha jumping over the wall", on a whim, every time he finished the battle, he drank the Buddha jumping over the wall, called victory soup, what is more refreshing than drinking the mellow top old fire soup after the big victory?

was restrained by the people around him and disagreed with him to drink more, so it's okay to drink soup.

No, the people of the two China followed their leader, and also fell in love with the "Buddha jumping over the wall", not to mention the Chinese in Southeast Asia, not to mention the two Guangzhou, Fujian Province and Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the Buddha jumped over the Yangtze River, to the north of the Yangtze River, to the inland areas, the people swallowed the Buddha jumping over the wall, you are embarrassed to invite guests without the altar "Buddha jumping over the wall", so the baby shark is unlucky!

"It's incredible!" Tromp shrugged.

Karl lamented: "We also know that there are endless treasures in Southeast Asia, but we don't pay enough attention to it, there were not many people before, there were not enough ships, and the British were making trouble, they sold sugar for the Chinese and gave silver to the Chinese." Thousands of no, no, they sold battleships and cannons to the Chinese, and even taught the Chinese to build battleships! ”

In anger, he punched the bulwark!

Before, the power of the British was only in the Strait of Malacca, and they didn't want the Dutch to monopolize the benefits, so they came to make trouble, and they got their way, and the Chinese drove the Dutch out of the Strait of Malacca, but the Chinese sea power also threatened the British.

"War is necessary, we have to destroy the Chinese fleet, trap them on the mainland and islands, and then we will capture the islands and let them create wealth for us, so, you definitely did not come in vain!" Karl said fiercely.

"The British are reaping the consequences, and soon the Chinese artillery will bleed to death!" Tromp narrowed his eyes and looked ahead at the battleship with a large red cross flag on a white background, which was the flagship of Turniphead Blake, St. George, a battleship armed with 74 cannons.

The first battleships actually came out from Yan Changwu, and the British learned the fastest, knowing that the Chinese had a "Nanhai-class" third-class battleship with 70 guns, and immediately built a battleship with 74 cannons to suppress the Nanhai-class.

So the Chinese produced a "Southeast Asia-class" third-class battleship with 76 guns, and the British were also building larger battleships, and this is how the arms race came about.

The Red Cross flag on a white background on which Blake's flagship "St. George" is very famous in Europe, and is derived from St. George the Dragon, a Roman officer who was killed in 303 A.D. while preventing the persecution of Christians. In 494 A.D., he was canonized by Pope Gelasius I.

Legend has it that he appeared in Europe in the name of the Lord to slay dragons, eradicate the most ferocious dragons, and at the same time, the dragon's blood gradually formed a cross shape.

During the Third Crusades (1189-1192), King Richard I of England (known as King Lionheart, meaning the majesty and fierce heart of a lion) personally led his troops and won a great victory in a battle near the site of "St. George Slaying the Dragon".

King Richard I of England believed that St. George was protecting them, and St. George was regarded as the patron saint of England.

In 1277, according to the legend that "dragon's blood forms a cross" (St. George's Cross), England designed the "St. George's Flag" (English flag) with a red cross on a white background, and at the same time used the "St. George's Cross" as the coat of arms of the British army.

Fighting under the banner of "St. George's Cross", this is jihad!
