160 Deterrence

"Silence!!"

"Everyone is ready for battle from now on, and armor and weapons must not be left behind!"

"Disband!"

In just a few dozen words, it came out of the mouths of the non-commissioned officers of each team, but it made the entire Hongtang fleet, an army of thousands of people, feel inexplicably excited.

Since the defeat of the Spanish colonist fleet stationed in Luzon in the South Seas and the expulsion of the Far East seas, the Hongtang fleet has no opponents in the entire South Seas, and no one or team dares to raise the Hongtang tiger's beard.

More than half of the soldiers from this army from the Hongtang Shark Department are veterans who have been in the army for more than three years, and the rest are the new recruits who have slowly filled in these days, but with the passage of time and the will of the army, the strength of this Hongtang fleet is still at its peak, and there is no one on the sea.

The soldiers tended their bags and equipment as they continued to guess who their opponents might be. On the main ship of the fleet, Zhao Simei was arranging tasks with the captains of ten warships, who were also the commanders and deputy commanders of each battalion.

"The place we are going to this time is the Kingdom of Nanyang Burma, and the king of this country, Ta Long, is preparing to disadvantage our Qixintang firm in the country and the members of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, so our army is going for two purposes."

"The first task is to safeguard the legitimate interests of our Unity and the members of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce in the Kingdom of Myanmar; The second is to seize the opportunity to put pressure on the Burmese royal family to get back on track. ”

"Therefore, this time into the territory of the Kingdom of Burma, there is a high probability that there will be a battle, and the captains of each ship must ensure that their soldiers can enter the battle at any time."

"Yes!"

The ten chief and deputy battalion commanders stood up and saluted, resolutely and affirmatively responded.

"Commander, my subordinates have a question."

"Say."

"In the event of a war, what can our army do?"

"The decisive defeat of the current hostile army to our army shall prevail."

"Understood!"

The horizon of the Kingdom of Burma, after Zhao Simei and his fleet sailed for three days, finally appeared in front of their eyes. With the emergence of the horizon, the soldiers of the Hongtang fleet also fought with their swords and dug themselves into battle.

"Fleet ahead, stop, or you will bear the consequences!!"

When the Hongtang fleet arrived in the waters of Da Xiang City, the Burmese military in the city had already sensed their arrival, and immediately sent sea ships to intercept and intimidate.

The big banner of the word "Hong" fluttering high, as long as it is the coastal country of the South Seas, no one knows their existence, in the face of the imposing appearance of these ten warships, the military forces in the city are also extremely frightened, in addition to trembling and issuing deterrent words, the rest is to quickly report to the king of Taron in the capital of Ava.

"Hehe, blew up that sea ship for Lao Tzu!"

Originally, she didn't plan to talk to the other party, but Zhao Simei issued an order with a thunderous force as soon as she came up.

"Boom, boom!"

The precise firepower strike turned the area of more than ten zhang centered on the Burmese sea ship that came to intercept it into a beautiful scene of snow-white waves rising into the sky.

When the dust settles and the splash clears, there is no sign of the ship in the sea area where the previous ship was located, except for the scattered fragments of wood on the sea, and the red-stained sea, proving that it once existed.

“……!!”

On the city of Dashang, the Burmese Burmese gang general Sori stared at the Hongtang fleet that appeared on the sea with a monocular, and imagined that when the other party was coming, he didn't want to be so domineering by the other party, and in his kingdom's sphere of influence, he bombed the messengers they sent as soon as he came up.

There is no need to suspect anything, at this time, the actions of the Hongtang fleet have already shown their malicious intent to the Burmese military, and then Sori put down the binoculars in his hand and gave an order to the deputy general behind him: "Close the city gate, and the whole army is ready for battle!" ”

The king of Burma secretly wanted to be unfavorable to Hongmen Qixintang and his allies, how could a high-ranking general like Sori not get the news, and if it were not for the support of these ministers and generals of the court, the king of Burma, Tarong, would not dare to have such thoughts.

In fact, to be honest, Qi Xin Tong and the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce are now regarded as enemies by the ruling class of the Kingdom of Burma, more because of their own practices.

Since the Westerners in the South China Sea were suppressed by the strong rise of Hongmen in the waters west of the Luzon Islands, there is no longer a team force in the entire South China Sea and the Daming Sea that can wrestle with the Hongmen.

With such a strong background of strength as a backing, over the years, Qixintang and the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce have focused on ocean trade while frantically plundering all kinds of resources of the indigenous kingdoms of Nanyang.

Marx once said that the accumulation of capitalism is always bloody, and behind the vigorous development of Hongmen Dayuan Island and Luzon Islands, He Zeng did not represent the exploitation of the local natives of the company and other surrounding dynasties.

The local natives are okay, at least the Hongmen methods are still extremely gentle and domesticated, but in the face of other kingdoms in Nanyang, the Qixintang and Nanyang Chamber of Commerce under the command of Hongmen are not so kind.

Although, as businessmen, even if the methods of Qixintang and Nanyang Chamber of Commerce are tough, they will not really be able to cause much damage.

However, the members of Qixintang and the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, in order to develop and colonize the Luzon Islands over the years, in addition to recruiting people from the Ming Dynasty, did not forget the subjects of these dynasties around them.

Anyway, these people of the Nanyang Dynasty were also exploited by the local gentry and nobles, as well as the royal family, and lived a life of not receiving the next meal, and even being displaced.

In the early days, the shopkeepers of Qixintang naturally understood the truth that the strong dragon did not suppress the head snake, and in addition, there were originally a lot of refugees in these kingdoms, which was also a hidden danger for the ruling class of various countries.

But with the passage of time, the royal families and nobles of various countries found that a large number of people were lost, which had a great impact on their kingdoms, and even affected the tax income of the royal family and other taxes, as well as the land income of the gentry class.

At this time, they wanted to go back and curb the population plundering of them by the Qixintang Dutch Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, but it was already a little late.

Not only the population, but also the representatives of merchants such as Qixintang and Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, with their strong teamwork skills, gradually took many of the economies of these neighboring countries into their hands, and plundered the wealth of these kingdoms and other countries in a steady stream.

Although they were not as barbaric and impoverished as the Westerners, in fact, the merchants of the Hongmen and Nanyang Chamber of Commerce were not necessarily worse than the Westerners who plundered these kingdoms, but their methods were more gentle.
