1164 The sea is the world of my Dutchmen

No one can answer this question.

After all, it stands to reason that the probability of such a coincidental thing is too low. Besides, in military affairs, fighting a war is not a child's play, and if you want to rely on luck, it is impossible!

The people in the room, for a moment, were a little silent.

Suddenly, Putmans came back to his senses, slapped his thigh, and said in a loud voice: "When the big man fell, it was not a regular attack by the Ming army. It's not good, it's really an internal response! ”

Fleeing back to Batavia in embarrassment was a regret for Putmans. Originally, he thought that it was the Ming army who made a detour to land and happened to bump into the army sent out, and after being eliminated by it, he pretended to be that army, which made him lose his vigilance.

Now that Liu Xiang said this, he immediately remembered his biggest regret, and immediately realized.

The other two Dutchmen looked at each other and finally frowned at each other.

Liu Xiang looked at the expressions of the three of them, and waited for a while before speaking: "The matter that the imperial court has long had plans against Nanyang has been exposed. Today is Luzon, tomorrow is Batavia! For the sake of today's plan, it is best to unite and deal with the imperial court together, and cut off the claws of the imperial court to secure our territory! Guys, what do you think? ”

The Dutchmen present were all cunning people, and when they heard this, they glanced at each other, and they immediately understood that Liu Xiang was for this purpose.

Thinking like this, the governor of Batavia suddenly relaxed a little, and said unhurriedly: "This place is still far from Luzon!" If you want me to say, let's see the movement first, right? ”

"That's right, maybe the Ming army will go back in a few days!" Putmans chimed in.

When Liu Xiang heard this, he was anxious, and hurriedly said: "If the imperial army gains a firm foothold in Luzon, then it will be difficult to drive them back again!" You guys...... Aren't you afraid that the Ming army, based on Luzon, will go south again and attack Batavia? ”

"Hehe, what is Ming Guo doing when he comes to fight Batavia?" The governor of Batavia smiled and said, "We didn't slaughter the Ming people!" You see, we all treat Ming people preferentially, give them jobs, and pay them wages, don't we? ”

Liu Xiang looked at a few of them, all of them looked relaxed, and his heart suddenly became anxious. Just as he was about to persuade again, he heard Putmans say: "It's not good, the Ming Kingdom is the same as before, and he will go back after exterminating the pirates!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Xiang was stunned at first, and then immediately understood. The Dutch are not stupid, Batavia is far away, they are close, and the imperial court has just occupied Luzon, if they really have bad intentions towards Nanyang, they will fight themselves first, and these Dutch still have time to prepare.

In addition, there is indeed a possibility that the imperial army went south, and it is really possible that it came to exterminate itself as before, but it encountered the help of the Luzon Ming people halfway, and then landed in Luzon instead.

Bearing the pressure of the imperial army alone, Liu Xiang naturally stopped doing it, otherwise, he would not have come to Batavia, so he looked at Putmans and immediately replied: "You have also done a lot of things along the coast of Daming, and the imperial court has already wanted you!" It is said that the emperor still has a clear decree issued by the emperor today, and you must be arrested! Maybe the imperial army is going south this time, maybe it's also coming to hunt you down! ”

Originally, Putmans was watching Liu Xiang's joke, but he didn't expect him to suddenly reply with such a sentence, and he immediately fell there.

During his tenure as the governor of Dayuan, he did the same thing as Liu Xiang. even formed an alliance with Liu Xiang and has been dealing with the Ming Kingdom. If those Ming armies came to exterminate Liu Xiang, it was really possible, and they would suffer by the way.

At this time, Antony, the Dutch admiral and the future governor of Batavia, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke: "If the Ming Kingdom really dares to declare war on my Batavia, it is better to come." I will teach Mingguo how to be a person, what Zheng Yiguan is not Zheng Yiguan, when he comes, he will never have to go back! ”

Speaking of this, he raised his voice a little and said very confidently: "On the sea, it is the world of my Dutchman!" ”

At this time, at sea, it was indeed the era of Dutch hegemony, known as the "coachman of the sea".

The governor of Batavia stood up and said to Liu Xiang: "The situation is still unclear, so let's do it first!" We can't make the slightest movement in the Ming Kingdom, and we will be like a great enemy! Hehe, Batavia has strength and self-confidence. If the Ming army really dares to come so far, our sea fleet is not vegetarian. ”

Hearing this, Liu Xiang became anxious and hurriedly said, "How many people do you have in Nanyang?" If the imperial court wants to deal with you, you don't need the imperial court to send troops, and directly let the coastal provinces send troops, and the number of people is many times that of yours! Your home country is so far away, there will be no reinforcements at that time, and when the imperial army reaches the doorstep, it will be too late to regret it! ”

Hearing this, Putmans had already come back to his senses, so he also spoke: "The Ming Kingdom does not rely on a large number of people, and its combat power is actually like that. But this Batavia is so far away, how many troops can be sent? ”

He dealt with the Ming army a lot, and every time he fought more with less, and if he couldn't win, he could escape far away. Ming Guo, whether it is a ship or a cannon, is not as good as the Dutch, and he is not too familiar with this.

Thinking like this, he has the bottom in his heart, and he wants to catch himself in the next life!

Liu Xiang was naturally unwilling to run in vain, and wanted to say more, but the governor of Batavia raised his hand and said: "Okay, I still have something to do, so I won't send it!" “

Anthony immediately stretched out his hand and said, "Let's go, Lord Governor is going to be busy!" ”

When he was fighting with the Portuguese on the Lion City side, as the commander of the Dutch fleet, he naturally also saw Liu Xiang's pirate group. Although there were many people on the ship, he looked down on it. As Putmans said, that's how it works.

At sea, it is not said that a large number of people on board is useful. He was completely sure that a pirate like Liu Xiang could defeat as many as he could at sea. Therefore, he has always looked down on this pirate of the East. Relying on a springboard battle with many people and boats, that is already outdated!

Liu Xiang was very unwilling, but the people had repeatedly evicted the guests, and he had no choice but to leave.

No one was there to see him off, only the Dutch guards followed him and supervised him to go to the dock and leave by boat.

In the governor's house, the three people just now were there, and they did not disperse immediately. Obviously, although in front of Liu Xiang, they didn't seem to care at all. But in fact, after all, Ming Guo is a behemoth in the East, and its strength is not comparable to that of other countries, and they still care about Ming Guo's new moves.

"What do you think about this?" Kun, the governor of Batavia, asked with a solemn face.

When Putmans heard this, he said slowly: "I think, the most important thing in this matter is to see how much attention Ming Guo attaches to Nanyang?" According to the previous situation, Ming Guo actually didn't care about foreign affairs. It is really unprecedented to capture Luzon this time! ”

Anthony was not a general who only knew how to fight, in fact, his original identity was just a businessman. Therefore, calculating the gains and losses of interests has actually been engraved in his bones. He thought for a while and said, "Just let those Oriental pirates block first and see how it goes." Otherwise, once we want to prepare for war, it will inevitably affect our construction of Batavia. ”

In its original history, Batavia was built during his tenure as governor. It can be said that he has always been concerned about the construction of this Dutch base in the East.

Kun nodded and said, "Well, but Liu Xiang's side, we must also contact at all times, in case there is any movement, we can also know in time." ”

Speaking of this, he looked at his two colleagues and added: "He still has a lot of people and ships under his command, no matter what, it can be used by us, and it will still be very helpful for us to control the surrounding natives." No, the Ming people who built Batavia are also thanks to his dedication. ”

Among the Ming people in Batavia, a large part of them used to be brought by that Kapitan. However, since Liu Xiang fled to Nanyang, he has also given many Ming people. As a result, the construction progress of Batavia was greatly accelerated than expected.

Thinking of this, his sleepy brows furrowed, and he looked at the other two and said, "Among these Ming people, is there any Jinyi Wei from the Ming Kingdom, we must pay attention to this." If Ming Guo really wants to deal with us, we can't catch fire in the backyard! ”

Hearing this, the other two both nodded, their faces grim. Among them, Putmans thought carefully for a while and said: "According to Liu Xiang's situation in Luzon, if there is any Jinyi Wei lurking in Batavia, he will definitely not be an unknown person among the Ming people. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Luzon side to encourage all the Ming people to hold on all the time, so that the Spaniards would have to mobilize most of their forces to suppress it! ”

Hearing this, Kun and Anthony couldn't help but glance at each other, and then said in unison, "Jiabidan? ”

The Dutchmen did not dare to take any chances, so they decided to keep an eye on Kapitan, and in addition, the construction of Batavia should be accelerated!

When they were discussing possible wars, far away in the palace of the Tang Kingdom, the Tang King was also discussing possible wars with his subordinates.

By all indications, the Mughal dynasty in the west seems to have treated King Thalong well. This means that Shah Jahan of the Mughal Empire was not friendly to the Ming Dynasty.

After listening to the account of the envoy who fled back, the king of Tang said solemnly to the civil and military generals under him: "King Talong will definitely not be willing to accept the prosperity of my Tang Kingdom, do you have a countermeasure?" ”

Hearing this, Deng Kelu, the number one general under King Tang, immediately clasped his fists and said: "Your Highness, the last general has already sent a person with Dong Wu nationality to be mixed in Bangladesh, and if there is a situation, he will definitely report back in time." ”

For the Tang State, the biggest threat was naturally the Mughal Empire, a powerful country on the border. Although it is not as vast as the territory of the Ming Dynasty, it is already the largest country here. Therefore, he has been planning for a rainy day a long time ago.

When King Talong ruled Dongwu, he naturally had political enemies and people who were persecuted by him, and these people, after the establishment of the Tang State, were a group of Dongwu people who were pro-Ming. Deng Kelu selected some soldiers from them for training and sent them out.

When Tang Wang heard this, he immediately nodded approvingly and said, "Well done, in this way, Gu can rest assured!" ”

As soon as these words fell, the other No. 1 general, Fu Yuman, also followed and played: "Your Highness, the last general has learned about the military composition of the Mughal Empire, and its main force is cavalry, but most of them are northern cavalry, and there is not much use in this place where the ravines in the south are crisscrossed. Secondly, there are arquebusiers and elephant soldiers, but these are not much of a threat to my Datang. The flintlock battalion under the last general was much more advanced than the arquebus. If the army of the Mughal Empire dares to come to fight my Tang Dynasty's idea, the flintlock battalion under the last general is not vegetarian! ”

When the flintlock pistol battalion was in the battle of Dongwu, it also made meritorious contributions, and the battle of Baojing robbed the grain and grass of King Talong, and it was the flintlock pistol battalion that made the first contribution. Based on the strength of this army, the Tang King transferred it to Deng Kelu and made it the guardian capital Chang'an. Of course, this Chang'an does not refer to Chang'an in Guanzhong, but the original Ava, the later Mandela, and now the name has been changed by the Tang King.

Hearing the words of the two generals, King Tang finally felt a lot more relieved. However, for the sake of safety, some details were discussed again, which can be regarded as peace of mind. Of course, as for whether the Mughal Empire will come to attack, Tang Wang is not sure at this time. Therefore, he did not inform the Min Ge elder on Mubang's side of the matter, nor did he report it to Emperor Chongzhen.

Facts have proved that Tang Wang's worries are not unreasonable. About ten days later, the night sent out to report urgently, saying that the Mughal Empire had sent 5,000 men and horses, together with 10,000 local troops in Bengal Province, known as 100,000, and had set out to attack the Tang Kingdom!

As soon as Tang Wang heard the news, he faced a foreign attack alone for the first time, and he was still a little panicked in his heart. At this time, the imperial army was not around. Although he also has tens of thousands of troops in his hands, they can be distributed all over the country, and the number of troops that can be used in his hands, in addition to guarding the capital, is only about 7,000 troops.

But Deng Kelu and Fu Yuman are both excited, and only when there is a battle can there be military merits! As far as they know, the army of the Mughal Empire can only be the king and hegemon here. What's more, they had predicted in advance that the Mughal Empire might come to attack the Tang Dynasty, and they were fully prepared accordingly.

Among them, Fu Yuman even said to the Tang King: "Your Highness, it is obvious that this time it was King Talong who was unwilling to fail and instigated the Mughal Empire to send troops to invade. In this case, there will be a plan in the end, which will surely make them come and go. And you can take advantage of the victory to chase, go straight to Bangladesh, and take Dhaka! ”

Hearing this, Tang Wang was happy for a while, and then said with a little hesitation: "Taking Dhaka is equivalent to taking Bengal." In this way, it is equivalent to a full-scale war in the Mughal Empire, is this inappropriate? ”
