Section 863 The Approach of War (2)
The Portuguese Ramos Oliveira called the meeting to order, and he said in a deep voice: "We have declared war with the Chinese, and everyone has no objections, right?" ”
He spoke in Spanish, and everyone in the room spoke Spanish.
Spain was the first empire on which the sun never set, and although it had fallen over the years, the emaciated camel was bigger than a horse, and it was still very rich, and it had possessed Portugal and the Netherlands, both of which knew Spanish, and England, although ambitious, had to defeat the Netherlands, and Lord Peter Wright and Arthur Wyn, who were present at the meeting, were accustomed to the three seas and knew Spanish, as were the French gentlemen.
All of them replied, "No problem! ”
"Very good, our European countries unanimously declared war on China, and we must not make peace with the Chinese alone until we are defeated, do you have no opinion?" Ramos asked, giving him a particular look at the Spaniard.
Spain has more interests with Portugal east of the Strait of Malacca, and he has concerns about both countries.
"Nope!" Mr. Zhu replied, and the Spanish and Portuguese gentlemen deserved it very simply.
"So, when will the war start? What kind of warfare is used? Ramos asked for everyone's opinions.
In August 1645 (the Jiashen Revolution in 1644, the Northern Expedition of Yan Changwu in 1645, the mainland in 1646, and the return of the Gan clan to the south in 1647), everyone thought that it was appropriate to start a war early next year, and used a few months to withdraw the cargo east of Malacca.
If you start a war early next year, you can make a time difference.
At this time, the northwest wind blows, which is conducive to the mainland ships, but it is not conducive to Southeast Asia, when the southeast wind rises in summer, Southeast Asia is in an emergency to the mainland, but the mainland ships are against the wind, and they can only wait until the northwest wind in early 1647 to facilitate the rescue, and it takes a full year to fight the Chinese across Southeast Asia!
"Concentrate the fleet and defeat the Chinese fleet in one fell swoop!" Mr. Karl, the Dutchman, spoke fiercely, he had blonde hair, a rather handsome face, a high nose and deep eyes, brown pupils were very bright, a nose, thick lips, with white skin and exquisite clothing, everything looked very gentlemanly and decent, and then he spoke very fiery.
In contrast, the Englishman Arthur Wing was more cunning, he said: "The Chinese fleet is powerful, but their territory is also large, and there are many places to defend, and we should send a few warships to attack their places and attack their merchant ships before the big war!" ”
People from other countries cursed "damned English pirates" together, especially the two Spaniards, apparently thinking of bad memories.
Queen Elizabeth I issued privateer permits to the British, as long as they were licensed to work as pirates and rob Spanish merchant ships, it was legal, and the beautiful Elizabeth I was the queen of pirates!
With her encouragement and support, the British became pirates and committed murderous activities.
Francis Drake, a licensed pirate, responded positively to the Queen's call, he plundered Spanish merchant ships everywhere, but also attacked Spanish merchant ports, and even in 1577, along the east coast of the Americas, around the Strait of Magellan across the Pacific Ocean for a round-the-world robbery voyage, most of the victims were Spanish merchant ships, but some Dutch and Portuguese merchant ships disappeared inexplicably......
Now that the British want to relive their old dreams, the shameless British have the best relationship with the Chinese, but they have the idea of robbing the Chinese, and others can fully imagine that the British will even display the flags of other countries to attack the Chinese.
If you win the war, if you can't, the British will flatly deny the crime and continue to do business with the Chinese.
However, thinking of the benefits of being a pirate, the gentlemen in the top hats and sanctimonious people present couldn't help but be thrilled!
"I think we'd better show all the working warships and prepare for marshalling!" Dutchman Anthony said.
The proposal was good, so everyone nodded their fingers, counting the hundred ships with double gun decks, of which the Dutch ships accounted for half of them! There were 20 British and Spanish ships, and 10 Portuguese merchant ships. The intelligence of the Southeast Province said that there were fifty warships of this kind in Hongmaofan, and the information was seriously wrong!
Hongmao Fan was worried and mobilized a large number of warships across the ocean, just in time, the intelligence of the Southeast Province was not updated, and even if it was updated, it would not be able to get reinforcements.
The double-deck was capable of carrying more than fifty cannons, of which thirty used 32-pounder cannons.
War is the best catalyst, the three battles of Batavia in Warholland, the defeat of the Dutch, especially the Chinese battleships with double gun decks, made great achievements, so that the red-haired fans were very shocked!
Moreover, the Chinese battleships were streamlined and fast, which effectively offset the maneuvering techniques of the red-haired fan.
As a result, Hongmaofan also copied a large number of Chinese-style battleships, and larger artillery, together with battleline tactics, became the "standard" of the Hongmaofan fleet, and appeared in the ranks of the Hongmaofan fleet in advance.
The Dutch are worthy of being the coachmen of the sea, the strongest ship-building skills, their warships were originally small, but once they came to their senses, they built more and bigger, and quickly followed!
There were another two hundred single-deck merchant ships, and the Dutch ships accounted for three-quarters, bringing up the total of two hundred.
Merchant ships in the sail period can easily be turned into warships, just as the graceful red-haired fan can become a pirate without the slightest pressure.
It is conceivable that the Dutch fought hard enough to take revenge.
"Double-deck battleships form a formation, plus a group of supply battleships, to form the main fleet!" Anthony Road.
"Good!" Everyone said.
The Dutch had many ships, so the Dutch were responsible for commanding the warships of various countries to deal with the battleship formations in the southeastern province.
And then what?
The proposal of the British, Arthur Wing, was accepted, and they would use a hundred single-deck merchant ships to rush all over Southeast Asia and attack the harbor cities of the Southeastern Province!
Fight freely!
It is conceivable to imagine what kind of things those self-proclaimed civilized people will do, they will burn, kill, loot, and do all kinds of evil!
Finally, it was the sharing of the spoils, after a fierce quarrel.
The plan was that the Dutch would get most of the maritime territory of the Southeastern Province;
The British, who are particularly interested in cane sugar, will get Taiwan;
In addition to keeping Luzon, Spain will also get the Wa Kingdom, and Spain is thinking of going to the Wa Kingdom to preach, if it turns tens of millions of people of the Wa Kingdom into the people of Christ, plus the silver of the Wa Kingdom, it is really a dream and laughs when you think about it;
And the Portuguese will get Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula, and control the entire Strait of Malacca,
As for the French, their harvest was Annan.
In some places that did not belong to the Chinese, everyone agreed to besiege them together, such as the Wa Kingdom and Annam.
As for the interests of the Eastern Continent, the countries agreed to compete fairly and try not to go to war with each other, so as not to shed too much blood, unable to control the Eastern Continent, and never allow the Eastern Continent to build another navy.
The robbers wrote the contract, signed it together, and they dreamed of making a fortune!
