1223 Live Alliance
Think about it, the emperor is in the deep palace, and he is a northerner, unlike himself in the South Seas, he is next to the Dutch, and he has really seen the power of their warships!
Gritting his teeth, Su Minggang decided to continue reminding: "Your Majesty, what the grass people mean, the Dutchman's ship is the fastest ship in the world, and their cannon is also the most powerful cannon in the world. This is not a villain who grows his popularity and destroys his own prestige. Your Majesty is a clear guide, the grass people are just ......"
He also thought about explaining, but Emperor Chongzhen knew what he meant, so naturally he wouldn't blame him, and immediately said with a smile: "I have already said it just now, these things of theirs are outdated. When you return to China in the future, you will be able to see that the motherland has undergone earth-shaking changes. For the Dutch, it is actually easy to destroy them, and the reason why it has been delayed until now is to take into account your situation, and secondly, to let all the people who oppose the Ming on the Nanyang side gather, so that I can catch them all. “
In this world, I am afraid that there is no emperor who treats a commoner so kindly and happily like Emperor Chongzhen, and patiently explains to him. Although Su Minggang was the only one who felt the emperor's approachability, Sun Chuanting and others in the group were also watching. The emperor did this, and they silently warned themselves in their hearts that they should take the emperor as an example!
Emperor Chongzhen said this, and when Su Minggang heard it, he didn't believe it. If it weren't for what the emperor himself said, he would definitely have scoffed at it. After all, he has been in the South Seas for a long time, and he is not too impressed with the Dutch. Their sharp artillery muskets, this is invincible. On the sea, once you are targeted by the Dutch, it is impossible to run away, let alone fight.
But now, as the emperor, he has been reconfirmed, which makes Su Minggang suspicious, emotionally believing what the emperor said, but intellectually he always feels that the emperor is a bit bragging. Is there a faster and better ship in the world than the Dutch? Is there anything more powerful in the world than the muskets and artillery of the Dutch?
He was thinking about it, but Emperor Chongzhen had already said to him again: "The decisive battle of Nanyang is about to start, and I am afraid that the Dutch will kill you in anger, so I will send special forces to save you." When the time comes, you can do your own thing. ”
When Su Minggang heard this, he couldn't help but be grateful, and immediately thanked him.
After exiting the chat group, he looked at Su Ming, who was staring at him, and said, "Okay, just now the old man has already told the emperor, and the emperor said it's okay, let us rest assured." ”
Su Mingyan listened, and looked at his clan uncle with a little suspicion.
Talk directly to the emperor, uncle, are you bragging? You can talk to the emperor directly?
He couldn't help but remind: "Uncle, this matter is no joke, seventy-five Xiyi warships, in this South Sea, who can fight?" The emperor said it was okay? Are you sure the emperor said it? ”
"Nonsense, can I still lie to you?" When Su Minggang heard this, he was a little annoyed and said, "The emperor said, seventy-five ships are nothing, our motherland has already undergone earth-shaking changes, and we will know when we go back." ”
"What a sea change?" Su Minglun listened and said a little yearningly, "When can we go back?" I really want to leave right away! ”
"It's coming!" Su Minggang was actually very anxious to go back to Fujian now, after all, he had been away from home for so long, who didn't want to go back, "The emperor said that the decisive battle in Nanyang is about to begin, and we will be able to go back soon." ”
Without waiting for Su Minglun to respond, he continued: "The things we do must be covered up so that the Dutch don't find out. Your Majesty just said. What special forces will be sent to save us! ”
At this time, Su Minglun had forgotten his worries, and hurriedly nodded: "Uncle, don't worry, the Dutch can find out that there are ghosts." We didn't even hide from the pirates, and we couldn't find out. ”
While they were discussing, at the behest of Emperor Chongzhen, four sailing ships were ready to set sail in a remote place in Luzon.
A team of soldiers of the Ming army was queuing up to board the boat, and beside them, Zheng Zhilong was personally explaining the matter, and said to his brother Zheng Zhihu: "The emperor attaches great importance to it, and the governor has repeatedly explained that your mission this time can only be successful, understand?" ”
"Big brother, you can rest assured, we have been practicing for so long, there will definitely be no problem." Zheng Zhilong patted his chest and reassured.
He has really seen it, it turns out that he can still train like this, even if he is used to being a pirate before, and some places have only understood what to do for the first time! With such an elite army leader, it's strange if he can't overthrow those Hongyi!
Zheng Zhilong listened, patted his brother's shoulder, and said solemnly: "According to the emperor's intentions, you will be our first Marine Corps after the Ming Dynasty, you must remember that this will go down in history." This first battle, if you mess up, even if it's the eldest brother, he won't spare you, understand? ”
Liu Jinsheng on the side looked a little impatient, and interjected at this time and said: "The emperor has arranged everything, if you can still lose, if you can still lose, I will be killed by a headlong collision, shame!" ”
When Zheng Zhihu heard this, he glanced at him, but he didn't lose his temper, he was a person from Jinyiwei, and Zheng Zhilong had repeatedly explained that he couldn't conflict with him.
He turned his head, looked at Zheng Zhilong and said, "Big brother, don't worry, I'll get on the boat first, and I'll contact you at any time if you have something!" ”
For this rescue mission, the emperor also specially configured two members of the chat group, one with the marines and the other with the battleship, so that they could cooperate with each other at any time. Zheng Zhilong thought about it, as if there was really no reason to fail, so he didn't say much, waved his hand to watch his brother get on the boat, and finally, watched the four sailboats disappear into the sea.
As a manager, he is naturally clear. Once they were out of Luzon, the four sailing ships would fly the Dutch flag, go around to Batavia, land at a chosen spot there, and then sneak over to Batavia by land to complete their mission.
Five days later, Temasek was buzzing with activity. Under Liu Xiang's persuasion, indigenous leaders from all over the country gathered here. I don't know if it was negotiated, but each of the indigenous leaders brought a lot of horses and horses.
Soon, the port was full of boats, and there was originally a passage in and out of the port, but as more and more indigenous leaders came, they shouted and shouted, you squeeze me, I squeeze yours, and finally blocked the passage. Later indigenous chiefs either passed by boats or landed around the place.
Temasek's buzz doesn't stop there. Some of the indigenous chiefs were hostile, but now they have come together for a common goal. But when they bump into each other, they still inevitably have a verbal fight or something like that.
In this regard, Liu Xiang's head is big. He didn't expect that this landlord was really not good. It's really hard to maintain good order, and it's far less free than being a pirate.
Originally, in his plan, even if these indigenous leaders brought more people, it was estimated that they would only look like three or five boats. But, in fact, it seems that every leader has brought everything he can, and he has brought everything he can. Can order be good?
At first he didn't understand it, but then he did. Because these indigenous leaders are afraid, afraid that they will be bullied or plotted after they leave their sphere of influence, and only by bringing more people can they feel at ease. This can be seen from the endless fights and brawls that occur every day. If it weren't for his efforts to maintain order, these things could easily turn into a decisive battle between the two forces.
In the face of such a thing, there is really only one word of feeling: tired!
Not only him, but also Liu Xiang's subordinates, all of them were too tired to do anything, and they all came to him to complain. There should be a limit to how many people each indigenous leader can bring, there are too many people, even if these leaders bring their own supplies, but there is too much garbage!
At this time, Liu Xiang also knew that his strength was still not enough, otherwise these indigenous leaders would not be like this. For example, if you go to Batavia to meet the League, you will say that only one ship can dock, and it is estimated that no one will have the courage to dock with two ships.
After tossing and turning for a few more days, Liu Xiang couldn't hold back anymore and led a large group of men to negotiate with the indigenous leaders. Anyway, in one sense, here is the main venue of Temasek, where each indigenous leader can bring a maximum of 100 people, and the rest of his subordinates will stay away and set up camp. In Temasek, Liu Xiang guarantees safety, otherwise get out, and after returning to the alliance, the allies will not fight the Ming army, and will pack up the ones that have rolled first!
To be honest, in terms of strength at sea, none of these indigenous leaders can be stronger than Liu Xiang's pirate group. He really didn't care about it, and the indigenous leaders had to consider his feelings somewhat. Especially under his threats, they all finally agreed to his proposal.
Temasek finally stopped, but before Liu Xiang could catch his breath, the Dutch came.
Liu Xiang rushed to the port when he heard the news, and looked at the dense warships on the sea, and the whole person was stunned. Do you want to bring so many warships here, what are you going to do?
The other indigenous chiefs were similar, all stunned. They didn't expect that they would bring more people to ensure their safety, and this Dutch man would be so timid and bring so many warships over?
However, they soon discovered that they were wrong.
When the Dutch ships approached the port, they lined up in rows, and on the side of the ship, there was a cannon exposed, like a shark's teeth, so sharp that it was terrifying. With so many ships and so many guns, who else would be the opponent of this Dutch fleet?
Standing on the flagship deck, looking at the stunned oriental monkeys on the shore, Anthony couldn't help but smile and said to Kun beside him: "Your Excellency the Governor, I believe that this oath will come according to our will!" ”
This is the result of Kun's layout, looking at the indigenous leaders on the shore wearing gold and silver, Kun is also proud, and said with a smile: "If it weren't for the sake of saving trouble and effort, after getting the help of the country, our own fleet alone would be able to defeat the Ming Navy." ”
Anthony listened and nodded, when he received the first batch of warship reinforcements before, he wanted to lead the fleet to Luzon to show off his might, and by the way, rob the merchant ships of the Xia Ming Kingdom. But in the end, I held back, just for today, in order to allow these indigenous leaders to gather due to the pressure of the Ming Kingdom, so that it is convenient for the Dutch to colonize the entire South Seas!
Quint and Anthony were complacent, their arrival, a reversal of the guest-oriented, everything, the Dutch have the final say.
The oath against the Ming Kingdom began according to the meaning of the Dutch!
However, what none of them expected was that their Temasek pledge, which was unique in history, was broadcast live in the chat group. The audience watching is Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Empire, Sun Chuanting, the temporary governor of Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Zhilong, the commander of the Nanyang Navy of the Ming Dynasty, and other opponents they have to deal with.
Liang Xiaozhen is a live broadcaster, and she conducts live broadcasts in temporary chat groups.
The oath began immediately, and the location was in Liu Xiang's Juyi Hall. Indigenous chiefs have already entered. When Liang Xiaozhen spoke, she accompanied a photo, which was a photo of the venue of the Juyi Hall.
Emperor Chongzhen watched the live broadcast with great interest, and saw that in the photo, it seemed that those indigenous leaders were not very happy. He could guess that it was the Dutch who put too much pressure on them.
The indigenous leaders appeared one by one, and under Liang Xiaozhen's explanation, they were like athletes who appeared in later generations, and Liang Xiaozhen would explain their names, spheres of influence, strength, etc.
In the end, it was Liu Xiang who personally accompanied Kun and Anthony to appear. A photo was posted to the group at the same time, accompanied by a text description.
Emperor Chongzhen looked at the photo and found that these two red hairs seemed to be really arrogant, and they seemed to be playing majestic among the indigenous groups and enjoying themselves! That Liu Xiang is by the side of these two red hairs, how does he feel a bit like a traitor who will accompany him in later generations! In vain, he is still a pirate leader who kills people without blinking, which is simply a shame for Daming!
"The Dutch governor and admiral sat on Liu Xiang's main seat, and Liu Xiang himself accompanied one side, occupying the second seat."
"Liu Xiang just made an opening remark, but was interrupted by the Dutch governor, and he spoke with a smile, and he looked like a smiling tiger."
"The Dutch governor said that if you want to expel our Ming from the South Seas, the first thing is to eliminate our Ming sailors. Then the army is a turtle in an urn, and let them slaughter it! ”
"Liu Xiang was instructed by the Dutch governor to start speaking again, introducing the information he had, saying that we have more than 180 warships of all kinds in the Ming Dynasty and 20 new sailing ships."
When the indigenous leaders heard this, they were a little scared. According to the understanding of his subordinates, the strength of our Daming Water Division can deal with any indigenous forces. ”
"Liu Xiang's pirate group, there are only one hundred and fifty ships of all kinds."
"The Dutch governor spoke again, and he said that the strength of our Daming Naval Division was not enough in his eyes. said that he brought seventy-five warships over, even if our Daming Naval Division doubled again, there would be no threat at all! ”
"The Dutch governor said that the matter of defeating our Daming sailors will be on them Dutch. But he had one request, and he had to say yes to all the native leaders! ”
