Why did the Dutch flee from the wind, Schwera didn't know what was going on, Zhang Bin naturally knew it in his heart.

He let go of the pirate ships so that the pirates could tell the Dutch in Colombo to run away!

He believed that if he could become the governor of the Dutch East India Company, his IQ would definitely be fine, and if he had a normal IQ, if he knew that he had rushed over with two hundred Weiyuan battleships, he would definitely run, because he knew that the Dutch would definitely not have more than a hundred super battleships in the Far East.

This judgment does not need any intelligence, only need to know one point, this point is the population of the Netherlands, now, the population of the Netherlands is only about 1 million, according to this total population, the real can be counted as less than 100,000 young and strong, and these young and strong can not all go to the battlefield, their huge shipbuilding system needs to know how many young and strong, and their more than 10,000 ocean-going ships of all kinds cannot all be driven by the old, weak, sick and disabled, and they cannot only have a navy, the army must also have.

In this way, it would be good if they could have 20,000 or 30,000 in their navy, and a super battleship would have at least 300 people as standard, and 100 ships would be 30,000 people, would they transfer all their navies to the Far East, this is obviously impossible.

Of course, if they are forced to fight hard, and all the people between the ages of 15 and 50 go to the battlefield, they should be able to hold back two or three hundred super battleships, and the army may also be able to hold back more than 100,000.

Will Zhang Bin force them to work hard, of course not, the Netherlands is not his main target, because the Netherlands has developed to this extent is already the limit, they occupy so many resources and obtain so many benefits with the advantages of shipbuilding technology and relatively advanced business acumen, it is already the limit, and their population is no longer enough to support them to continue to expand.

The rise of the Netherlands is destined to be short-lived, they will be surpassed by Britain and France and other powers, which has little to do with technology and brains, just a key factor, that is, population, no one, no matter how powerful they are, it is useless!

Zhang Bin's current posture seems to be to help Portugal and Spain overturn the anti-Habsburg alliance powers, and then divide the world, but in fact, he doesn't think like this in his heart at all.

He will not allow the anti-Habsburg powers to defeat Spain completely, nor will he help Spain and Portugal to defeat the anti-Habsburg coalition powers completely, he will help Portugal and Spain "as much as possible" to keep them in relative balance with the anti-Habsburg powers.

In this way, they can be consumed, so that the importance of Da Ming can be highlighted, so that he can control everything.

Not only did Spain and the anti-Habsburg coalition powers maintain a relative balance, but Zhang Bin also didn't want them to be too unbalanced, so the Netherlands could not weaken it too much, and captured the headquarters of their East India Company, and then occupied the temporary headquarters of their East India Company, so that they completely lost the Far East market, which was already a big enough blow to them, and they could not continue to be attacked.

If it strikes again, the Netherlands will decline rapidly, and Britain and France will rise rapidly, and those two enemies will be much more difficult to deal with than the Netherlands.

Therefore, it is better for the Dutch fleet to let them run, and it is of great use to keep the Dutch fleet, once it is defeated, it will be useless, keep it, not only Portugal and Spain demand him, but the Dutch also demand him!

Schweila didn't know Zhang Bin's calculations, he was in a daze at this moment, the Dutch, who were now the overlord of the sea, made them fearful, actually ran away!

He really couldn't believe it, and it wasn't until Fu Guangjun boarded the dock that he didn't encounter any attack before he asked in disbelief: "Your Royal Highness, the Dutch really ran away?" ”

Zhang Bin pretended to have a look of remorse and said with annoyance: "Yes, we have fallen for the trick of the Dutch." ”

Caught in the Dutch's scheme?

Schwila was puzzled and said, "Your Royal Highness, what did we do to the Dutch?" ”

Zhang Bin pretended to be esoteric and said: "This, in our art of war, is called the golden cicada's shelling strategy. ”

Golden cicada shelling?

Although Schwila speaks Chinese well, he is still confused about this kind of vocabulary that has no beginning or end.

Zhang Bin saw that he was still confused, so he could only explain: "The meaning of this golden cicada is that the golden cicada took off its shell and left it, but the real golden cicada ran away." The golden cicada's plan to get out of its shell is that we have been deceived by the illusion created by the enemy, and we can't find out in time when they have escaped. ”

Schvera thought about it word by word, but he still didn't understand, and he couldn't help but ask: "Your Royal Highness, what illusion did the Dutch create?" ”

Zhang Bin prompted patiently: "Do you think, why did the Dutch let the pirates they supported build their nests so close to the Strait of Malacca, don't they know that our Ming Empire may send a navy to attack from the Strait of Malacca?" ”

The Dutchman must have guessed why they had allowed their pirates to build their lair so close to the Strait of Malacca?

Svera thought for a while, and suddenly realized: "Your Royal Highness, what do you mean, the Andaman pirates are the shells of the golden cicadas, and the Dutch fleet is the real golden cicadas!" ”

Zhang Bin lost no time in approving: "Yes, the Dutch deliberately placed the pirates so far from the Strait of Malacca to attract the navy of our Ming Empire to encircle and suppress, once we go to encircle and suppress, they can receive the news and escape in time." ”

When Schvera heard this, he kept nodding and said, "So that's it, so that's it, this Dutchman is so cunning!" ”

Zhang Bin pretended to be remorseful again, and said with annoyance: "Yes, this Dutch is too cunning, my father should not have encircled and suppressed those pirates, but should have attacked Colombo, with the speed of our warships, they will definitely not be able to react, in this case, the Dutch will not have time to escape." ”

Schvera nodded, thought about it, as if he suddenly thought of something, he couldn't help but be clever and said: "Your Royal Highness, this Dutchman's sailboat will definitely not be able to run fast, because the wind direction and ocean current are not right at this time, they estimate that they will not run far away, with our speed, we will definitely be able to catch up!" ”

Zhang Bin shook his head and said lightly: "Since they know that they want to run, they are not idiots, they must be able to think of this, even if it is smooth, they will not be able to outrun us, so they will definitely not run to the northwest according to the normal course, but will find a place that we are not familiar with to hide first, and when our fleet of the Ming Empire passes, they will fight back."

"Ahh When Schvera heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked, more than twenty super battleships were indeed nothing to the Ming Empire, but they were an invincible force for Portugal, if the Dutch really didn't run in the direction of Europe, but hid in the waters near Ceylon, it would be a big trouble.

Once the naval fleet of the Ming Empire leaves, what will they do, the Dutch can kill them in seconds with just more than 20 super battleships, and they can't hold this Ceylon at all!
