The Red-Haired Navy is now the world boss. Where will the Ming fleet be put in the eye? Although their fleet was defeated by the Ming army twice, it was a decade or two ago, and now their coachman at sea has gone farther and farther away at sea, and he is no longer the coachman at sea a decade or two ago.

The arrogance and impulsiveness of the past are supreme arrogance and prejudice, especially these bloody red-haired soldiers, who respect them as the boss everywhere, so when they come to the sea area of the Ming Dynasty, they still talk with their faces up, and treat the Ming Dynasty as the same as other countries.

This caravan was escorted by warships, and it was supposed to go from Akaisei in Taiwan to the Oriental cherry blossom country. This is an authentic business activity, and they can go directly to the East from Taiwan. If that had happened, there would be no today.

But these red-haired men deliberately traveled hundreds of miles north with the strength of their ships and guns, and then sailed along China's coastal waters, which in itself meant to show off their strength.

In addition, of course, they knew that the Ming Dynasty was fighting, and they also knew that the Portuguese Navy had intervened in the entertainment city, openly supporting Zheng Zhilong's rebels to confront the Ming Dynasty. They also wanted to join in the fun, because Wei Malang, the head of the Dutch East Magic Country Company, had received a clear order from the Dutch king, and their position in the Great Dutch Empire was the same as that of Portugal, and they fully supported Zheng Zhilong to fight against the Ming Dynasty.

It was not these two colonial powers who treated Zheng Zhilong humanitarianly and generously supported Zheng Zhilong. But it is completely from their interests, as the so-called world has no free lunch, the two of them will not pay for Zheng Zhilong's war, mainly because they feel that the Ming government is not friendly enough to them, and only by supporting Zheng Zhilong's Great Southern Empire can ensure their vested interests and long-term interests.

Therefore, the naval commander of the escort formation this time was a middle-level officer named Karls under Wei Malang, who was responsible for escorting the more than 60 merchant ships with a total of 3,000 Dutch warships and 13 Dutch warships.

The three in front of these 13 Hongmaozi warships, four on the left and right, and two in the rear, formed such an escort formation to protect the Hongmaozi merchant ships inside.

Because although they know that they are the world's naval bosses, no matter where they go, the countries of the world admire them and retreat. However, there are still forces that are bold and reckless, such as pirates and pirates, and the strength of these unofficial forces cannot be underestimated, and they have to guard against them.

This is exactly the reason for the escort of the Hongmaozi warship. However, with these 13 world's most advanced Hongmaozi warships, even businessmen and soldiers are showing off their might, and they feel that nothing is lost.

They deliberately detoured China's coastal waters this time, not only to show off their force to the Ming Dynasty, which was full of provocation, but also to cheer on the Portuguese warships and Zheng Zhilong's navy.

They also now knew that Zheng Zhilong's army was no match for the Ming army, and they were losing and retreating. They wanted to help Zheng Zhilong regain his self-confidence through naval warfare.

I never thought that the road was narrow, and I happened to run into Lin Yi's fleet. The Ming army wanted to stop them, and it was another flag, another warning, and another cross-cutting interception. These arrogant and arrogant people, where will they eat this set? Immediately opened fire on the Ming ship.

Originally, Lin Yi was not ready to fight with Hongmaozi now, but now he is concentrating on cleaning up Zheng Zhilong, who defied the world's disapproval and brazenly proclaimed himself emperor.

Because he knows that the sea area in the southern Xinjiang of the Ming Dynasty is complicated, and there are at least 4 forces involved in this sea frontier of several kilometers, in addition to the Ming Navy Division and the rebel Zheng Zhilong's armament, there are also Portuguese * Zhuya Navy and Hongmaozi Navy.

The two maritime powers flexed their muscles everywhere, and Portugal, an established maritime power, was reluctant to withdraw from its own stage. He tried to carve up the world with Spain, but the rise of the Netherlands shattered his dreams, but he stayed in the casino.

The Netherlands, an emerging maritime power, known as the coachman of the seas, sought to dominate the world. In order to show his strength and existence, he divided the colonies everywhere, not only did he dominate the continent, but the Hidden Kingdom and France are now all his little brothers, he, the boss of the sea, rushed out of the continent, and all the countries in the South and East Oceans have her merchant ships cruising.

In recent years, the Netherlands resorted to force, and its warships and merchant ships sailed freely, and it could go wherever it wanted. Whoever is not convinced, he will beat him.

Spain, a maritime power that once threatened to carve up the world, has been beaten by the Netherlands, and the hidden country, France and other places are all within the scope of his influence, and his merchant ships and warships can drive straight in, and it can go wherever it wants.

It may not be seen as a small country, but he can do miscellaneous and military service for him by dividing colonies or enslaving the citizens of other countries. Therefore, he is not worried at all, his people are not enough. He wielded a big stick, and he had as many soldiers as he wanted, and whoever he wanted to submit had to submit.

From the beginning of the 17th century, the Netherlands replaced Spain as the largest colonial power in the world. And they drove out the Spanish colonists in Taiwan and replaced them. The occupation of China's Penghu also intruded on China's southeast coast.

The previous Ming governments also organized effective resistance, but these colonists were not reconciled after all, although they were defeated several times, and made several comebacks, and now they are not leaving Taiwan, building castles, increasing the army, implementing a policy of enslavement, bloodily suppressing the resistance of local residents, enslaving local residents, and making them obtain huge profits in the East Magic Country Company.

In recent years, the Ming Dynasty has been in continuous civil wars, the national strength has declined, and the inability to go on expeditions, these colonists have become more unscrupulous and rampant.

Now that they have ulterior motives to openly support Zheng Zhilong, oppose the Ming Dynasty, and meet with the Portuguese envoys in Guangxi, Lin Yi has already smelled this strong provocation.

Although the words of the Edward Emissary were far-fetched, they had already exposed their sinister intentions.

The Portuguese colonists are still like this, and the Dutch colonists who are more arrogant than them are even uglier than them, although Lin Yi has not come into contact with those red hairs so far, but he can completely deduce this.

Moreover, now that the southern army is retreating one after another, it is very likely that Zheng Zhilong will jump over the wall in a hurry and seek assistance everywhere, and it will be a little troublesome for Chinese and foreign reactionary forces to collude.

In addition, of course, Lin Yi will not forget this old neighbor in the east. The Sakura Country and the Dynasty are rivals, the Ming Dynasty has always protected the Dynasty, so it has long been not harmonious with the Sakura Country, Zheng Zhilong and the Sakura Country have a continuous relationship, if the Sakura Country supports Zheng Zhilong again, then the matter will be more complicated.

As the leader of a country, he cannot but consider the changes in the international situation and the game between major powers. The kind of decision-making that only relies on a momentary righteousness, the courage of a horseman, and patting the door of the head to make a decision, the consequences are very serious and terrible.

As a special soldier who has crossed over, he knows this very well in his heart.

Now the strength of the Ming Dynasty is in Lin Yi's mind, don't look at him like other emperors who have been hiding in the palace and living the life of three palaces and six courtyards, but he has been fighting outside all the year round, from Saiwai to southern Xinjiang, to the southwest, and now to the southeast, basically a whole circle. But the more this is the case, the more he knows in his heart, this is the real immediate prison of the country.

The current Ming Dynasty has how many troops and silver it has, how big a war it can fight, and he has been a prisoner for two or three years, and he has already figured it out.

Although the emaciated camel of the Ming Dynasty was bigger than the horse, and after more than ten years of hard work in the past ten years, he promoted the country by strengthening the army, punishing corruption in the imperial court, and driving away the Tartar thieves outside, so that the banner of the Ming Dynasty did not fall, and the bitter tree sprouted new branches, the people's hearts began to stabilize, the economy began to recover, and the machine on the verge of scrapping in the Ming Dynasty was put into operation again.

But in these years, years after year, the war has been carried out, the army has been used everywhere, the people's livelihood has withered, and the damage has been serious, and on the whole, the strength of the Ming Dynasty cannot be compared with the prosperous period.

Therefore, of course, Lin Yi did not dare to underestimate these top powers in the world. Despise the world, Yelang is arrogant, he will definitely reap the consequences, and the lesson that the arrogant army will be defeated will certainly not be forgotten.

Therefore, unless it is a last resort, the most ideal way to arm the rebels of the Netherlands, Portugal, and Zheng Zhilong is to take it step by step, step by step, from near to far, and clean up one by one.

Otherwise, if a Ming Dynasty starts a war against these powers at the same time, it would be too much to underestimate them.

But things often can't keep up with the changes, and things don't happen from time to time. Now the naval fleet of the Ming Dynasty has encountered the fleet of the Netherlands, and these red-haired men actually fired the first shot at the Ming ship. Then there is no way, it is also necessary to teach them a lesson in advance, anyway, there will be a battle with Hongmaozi sooner or later, you might as well take a few military ships that are known as the world's advanced to test your firepower.

Therefore, thinking of this, Lin Yi was on the warship Yangwei, and immediately issued an order: "Order Shi Lang's armed forces to intercept them, if they don't listen, the warship will be sunk and the merchant ship will be detained." ”

"Brother Lin, you have to think about it, this is a Dutch ship?" Xiao Ying was a little stunned.

Lin Yi smiled. "So what? Ying'er has also heard of the Netherlands? ”

"Brother Lin is too underestimated Ying'er!" Xiao Ying pouted and said coquettishly, "These red-haired people are amazing, who doesn't know?" Although Hongmaozi was finally defeated, our army paid a greater price, the casualties were several times that of them, and the firepower of Hongmaozi's ships was fierce, which was not easy to deal with. ”

"It's all from your father, right?" Lin Yi glanced at her.

Xiaoying's father is the head of a hundred households in the health office. In the Sanchakou Guardhouse, when it comes to Zhang Baihu, no one knows it. More than ten years ago, when Lin Yi first crossed over, the border soldiers entered the guard, and it was at that time that Xiaoying, who met him, was deeply impressed by this unruly grassroots officer of the Ming Dynasty.

"So what?"

"Today's battle, the Dutch will definitely not agree, there will be a war between the two countries, this is the most powerful Netherlands in the world, and Portugal is not the same, Brother Lin should consider it carefully." Zhezhe, who has always been reluctant to talk, also interjected and reminded.

One or two decades ago, the battles between Penghu and Kinmen Island in Quanzhou, Fujian Province, became a household name in the Ming Dynasty, and even caused a sensation all over the world. Of course, Zhezhe also heard about it.

Lin Yi said disdainfully: "What is the most powerful thing in the world, it's just a paper tiger!" ”
