1202 Marines

While Emperor Chongzhen was thinking about it, Smith continued to be arrogant in the group: "What, don't you believe it? Let me tell you, Lao Tzu is the guard of the Governor's Palace, and I heard His Excellency the Governor speak that day, hum, when the construction of Batavia is completed, you can look at it, these more than 4,000 oriental monkeys will definitely be slaughtered for you! ”

"Don't think we Dutch are comparable to the Spaniards! The fleet of our Dutchmen, there is no opponent in the whole world. You Oriental monkeys don't know yet, or you Eastern monkeys take the lead, and you want to unite all the monkeys, led by us Dutch, to kill all your Ming troops in Nanyang! ”

“……”

In the face of his arrogance, the Ming people in the group were angry, and every word sprayed Smith to death, and he didn't know where to go for Smith's speech.

The crowd was raging, but after they got sleepy, they forgot everything they had just done as soon as they got off the line.

However, Emperor Chongzhen will not, from this Smith's words, he has caught the key point, and the matter of Liu Xiang's alliance with the Nanyang forces can also be proved from the side from here. In addition, Batavia had more than 4,000 Ming laborers, although not as many as Luzon, but more than 4,000 lives, which was quite a lot, and it was absolutely impossible to watch them slaughtered by the Dutch.

Emperor Chongzhen thought so, and his mood became a little heavy.

The First World War in the South Seas is certain. He has also been preparing, although they have to unite, and they have to be led by the Dutch, shouting that the Dutch fleet is invincible, these things, for him, there is no problem, just a frog at the bottom of the well!

However, what about the more than 4,000 people, how to save them? You must know that Batavia is far away from Luzon, and there are many indigenous forces and Liu Xiang's pirates in the sphere of influence, and it is very difficult, almost impossible to attack Batavia first to save the more than 4,000 Ming people.

So what to do? Emperor Chongzhen thought about it, a little worried!

Let Liu Xiang's three masters go to Batavia to find opportunities? Not to mention whether he has a reasonable reason to pass, even if it really passes, in the base camp of the Dutch, how capable is Liang Xiaozhen to save those Ming people?

Besides, Liang Xiaozhen is a very important dark chess move, and when Daming goes back to the decisive battle with them, his level is high enough, and he needs to provide news to come back. If you can not use him, try not to use him.

After thinking about it for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen's heart moved. As a later generation, for this kind of special combat mission, it is naturally easy to think of setting up a special force to save people.

At this time in ancient times, it was not practical to set up special forces. But the key problem is that Emperor Chongzhen has a chat group and can communicate instantly, which is a very big advantage. Knowing the local environment, knowing the internal situation in Batavia, and having a chat group to communicate, when the time comes, there is a possibility of successful rescue.

Of course, the timing can be chosen on the eve of the start of the decisive battle in the South Seas, or at the beginning, or when the main Dutch fleet leaves Batavia, or when the Ming army is about to attack Batavia. It's not good, you can also cooperate with the main attack force by the way, and together you can end Batavia, leaving the earliest classic example of this plane special forces operation!

After Emperor Chongzhen weighed it for a while, he found that there really was only one way to rescue these more than 4,000 Ming people.

So, he no longer hesitated, and immediately pulled Sun Chuanting, the governor of Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong provinces, and Zheng Zhilong (Liu Jinsheng), the commander of the water division. He gave a general explanation of the situation, and then said to Sun Chuanting: "Sun Qing, some of the Ming people who were plundered by the Francois are in Batavia, as long as all the Ming people in Batavia are found out, I will reinstate the Qing official, and I believe that others have nothing to say!" ”

When Sun Chuanting heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. However, he hadn't figured out the difficulty of saving the Ming people in Batavia, and when he heard Emperor Chongzhen ask Zheng Zhilong about the method, but Zheng Zhilong didn't have a good way, his excitement cooled down significantly.

In addition to Emperor Chongzhen, if there is anyone who is most familiar with Nanyang, it is Zheng Zhilong. But he can't help it, then he really can't help it.

Based on this, Emperor Chongzhen said his thoughts in the temporary group: "Since this is the case, then specially draw elites from various armies to form a special operations force to train for the purpose of rescuing the Ming people in Batavia." After thinking about it, the personnel requirements should probably meet the following points. ”

"One, all will be water, after all, it is fighting in the South Seas, and landlubbers can't do it."

"Second, there is a high probability that this army will not be able to attack hard from the port of the Dutch, and the hard attack is to make a detour after landing, so the terrain and climate of the island must be adapted, and it can march with high intensity."

"Third, after rescuing the local Ming people, basically to fight with the Dutch in Batavia, and hold on until the reinforcements arrive, it should be unrealistic to withdraw quietly, so you must be able to fight a tough battle!"

“……”

As he spoke, a word popped up in Emperor Chongzhen's mind: Marines!

After he said what he could think of, he said to the two people in the group: "You should assemble this special forces personnel as soon as possible, and it should be placed in Luzon for training, and you will decide the specific location." As for the enemy's intelligence on the Batavia side, the terrain information, I'll figure it out! ”

At the end, he reminded again: "This matter must be done as soon as possible!" All efforts are to save the more than 4,000 Ming people in Batavia! ”

Basically, it was Emperor Chongzhen who was talking alone. From this, whether it is Sun Chuanting or Zheng Zhilong (Liu Jinsheng), they all deeply feel the emperor's concern for the more than 4,000 Ming people. At this time, they also had a deeper understanding of the holy will.

Today's emperor is completely different from the emperors of previous dynasties! In the past, no emperor, even those who were praised and praised by the literati, could not catch up with the current emperor. With such an emperor here, the people of the Ming Dynasty, especially the people of the Ming Dynasty overseas, don't know which life they have cultivated!

Therefore, neither of them dared to slack off and immediately responded. Not to mention, the success of this matter is also related to Sun Chuanting's official position.

ordered to go down to this matter, Emperor Chongzhen did not rest, thought about it for a while, and learned about the situation in Hoi An Shipyard in Annan through the Jinyiwei in the chat group.

Originally, Emperor Chongzhen planned to build a new shipyard in Guangdong, but under Zheng Zhilong's sneak attack, he basically took Hoi An in Annam. There were Portuguese shipyards and gun workshops here, and many things were still relatively advanced in this era, so in the end, the first shipyard in the south was set up here, and many of the shipwrights and soldiers sent from Beijing were sent to Hoi An.

Now, for the Ming Dynasty, the sailing technology of Westerners has also been mastered by the Ming Dynasty. At this time, unless Da Ming came up with a steamer, this sailboat would be the most advanced. However, in terms of guns, the Ming Dynasty at this time was actually ahead of Western countries. Front-loading rifled guns have been successfully tested not only in the Beijing Division, but also in Hoi An.

However, there are some and there are many shortcomings. The rifled gun is slow to load, and after not many uses, the rifling is seriously worn, in other words, the number of uses of this front-loading rifled gun is much smaller than that of ordinary smoothbore guns. Therefore, the cost of rifled guns is actually quite high.

However, it is also a loss to Sun Chuanting that he is selfless and hard-working in collecting taxes. The tax revenue he collected from the opening of the sea is increasing year by year, and as a result, the funds of the Southern Navy Division are becoming more and more sufficient year by year. Although the cost of this front-loading rifled gun is high, it can still be built.

And Emperor Chongzhen has expectations, for this decisive battle in the South Seas, it is even more inevitable, so in terms of funds, there is even more inclination, although the output of this front-loading rifled gun, although it is not as good as the smoothbore gun, but there is already a batch of inventory.

If the war starts next year, the steamships will not be able to catch up. For now, the performance is not stable, and it certainly cannot be used on the battlefield. But it doesn't matter, Da Ming can be a violent soldier. In Fuzhou, Fujian Province, every batch of graduates of the Daming Junior Naval Master School can form dozens of warships.

It may take a long time for others to train a group of qualified sailors. However, the fishermen base of the Ming Dynasty is very large. These people are familiar with the water division first, and the old leads the new, and the water master school selects skilled hands from the water division for training, whether the quality or quantity of this soldier source, it is estimated that in this world, there is no country that can compare with the serious Ming Dynasty.

The future Nanyang campaign will be very different from the previous ones, mainly depending on the decisive battle of the naval division. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen had already selected the commander of the Nanyang Campaign, no longer a land general, but Zheng Zhilong, which was unique in the history of the Central Plains. Or after this battle, it will also mark the rise of the sailor, and it can be renamed the navy!

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen immediately felt a little strange, the navy is too ugly, or the navy!

Now that the domestic situation in Daming is stable, and there is money, this warship and artillery are actually not a problem. The key now is to obtain intelligence. The so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, intelligence first, this is the wise saying.

Thinking so, Emperor Chongzhen began to add people again. But before he added people, he kicked that Smith, no way, since this Smith joined the group, this main chat area has become a mutual scolding. Although they all forgot what they said after leaving the group, this did not prevent them from starting to scold each other again and repeat again and again as soon as they entered the group. Emperor Chongzhen was also annoyed with it, and he felt that it didn't have much use value, so he kicked it out.

The reason why he wants to continue to start adding people is because he believes that now he, the leader of the group, has a clear idea of what he wants to do, and this matter is also very important to Zhongxing Daming. With the urine nature of the chat group system, you will definitely be able to add the right person.

After adding fifty more people in one breath, one person caught his attention. The age of knowing the destiny of heaven, logically speaking, should be able to see everything and see the world relatively lightly. However, this newly added uncle who knows the destiny of heaven has given himself the name "sinner".

Sure enough, he didn't need to ask, after the sinner entered the group for a while, he spoke eagerly: "May I ask if you are all in the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"Nonsense, where do you think it is? By the way, I'm from Xi'an, do I have any friends in Xi'an! ”

"I'm from Yingtianfu, looking for a fellow countryman!"

“……”

As soon as he said this, there was a rush to find fellow villagers in the group, not to mention, although Daming is so big, there are always a few people in the same place. Then they started chatting and meeting in person. It's just a pity that now the system has one more function. Wait for them to make an appointment about the time and place, and once they leave the group, what should they do or what will they do? Offline dating? What's that?

Emperor Chongzhen didn't care about this, he was paying attention to sinners.

"Everyone, I beg you, I don't know who can help report to the official, thank you very much!"

At this time, the group was already recognizing his fellow countrymen, and no one paid attention to him, the initiator. However, Zhang Wu replied: "What's the matter, are you going to ask the government for help?" ”

From this sinner's speech, he felt his own mood when he first joined the group, and his intuition told him that if this person was not the same as he was at the beginning!

"Yes, may I ask this brother, I wonder if Brother Tai can do the old man a favor and help report the news to the government!"

"I'm not in the country, I'm in Luzon. Not sure if I can help? ”

"Ah, you're in Luzon?"

“……”

Emperor Chongzhen looked at their chat, and knew that the system really did not disappoint him, and he really added a useful person. So, he sent a private chat to the sinner.

Far away in Batavia, in a gathering place of the Ming people, there is a house that is obviously a little better than the surrounding grass huts, at least from the yellow mud houses. In the courtyard, there was an old man lying on a chair, with gray hair, who looked like he was almost in the ground, at least seventy or eighty years old.

Around him, there were a few men sitting. At this point, though, the atmosphere was a little weird.

The old man had his eyes closed, and the men did not speak, they were looking at each other, and they all had that very strange expression on their faces, and they stared at the old man in the chair from time to time. Apparently, it was the old man who made them look at this strange expression.

Eventually, a man with a little heaviness spoke, "Is this really all we have to do?" If this day goes on like this, what will happen in the future? I still want to go back to my hometown! ”

"Those pirates are really not things, everyone is a wise man, but they are so fierce, I really miss the old days. Su Lao, when we are our Jiabidan, at least we won't suffer so much! Another person followed.

"Sometimes, I really envy those Ming people in Luzon!" The third man also spoke, "At least they fight and can wait for the arrival of the imperial army." But we were so far away that the court didn't even know that we were suffering here! ”
