At this time, the sailors, auxiliaries and the master craftsmen who built the warships with the army were all happily working, and they loaded all the captured goods on the Zhuyin ship onto the horse ship that was empty and kept to carry rice back to the sea. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

These ships that had been knocked out of power were not too difficult to repair, because the craftsmen who took part in the voyage were masters and had already participated in the repair of hundreds of enemy ships that had been knocked out of power and turned into trophies.

The craftsmen have a lot of work experience, and when they are selected to go to sea, they are very busy preparing materials, and now they are busy re-erecting the mast on the vermilion ship.

The twelve Vermilion Seal ships were temporarily towed by the fleet while sailing while repairing as much as possible, and with the efforts of the Huang family's ship repair masters, it is estimated that these ships will soon be able to recover eighty percent of the wind power.

Huang Sheng led his fleet directly to the port built by the Dutch in Taiwan, which was said to be more prosperous.

He knew history and the strength of the nations of Europe, the current Dutch, who had just been founded for more than thirty years, and who had developed rapidly since gaining independence, and who had taken advantage of the decline of Spain and the civil war of England to almost monopolize world trade.

Trade between countries around the world is mainly based on maritime traffic. The Dutch merchant fleet has more than 16,000 seagoing vessels, accounting for three-quarters of the total tonnage of European merchant ships and one-third of the world's transport vessels.

At this time, the country of Holland was on the rise, and the navy of the sea coachman was not given for nothing. They were the most powerful colonial empire in the world at this time, not only winning the competition with the British, but also replacing the former colonial hegemon Spain.

Therefore, this time Huang Sheng did not have any intention of starting a war with the Dutch to seize the city of Geranza, and then obtain the whole territory of Taiwan.

Will do this in the future, it's too early now, let them operate for a few more years, why not let the Huang family pick up the cheap in the future?

Zheng Chenggong, the son of Zheng Yiguan, was able to defeat the Dutch and grab the island of Taiwan as a base camp when he was desperate after many failed fierce battles with the Manchus, is the strength of the Huang family not as good as Zheng Chenggong?

No, Zheng Chenggong was able to take Taiwan lightly, which is closely related to the international situation.

When he attacked Taiwan, it was already the fifteenth year of the Yongli period of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and at this time the Dutch were inseparably fighting with the British, and they had no time to take care of the Far Eastern battlefield.

Britain defeated the invincible Spanish Armada in the 16th year of Wanli, ending one mythical war record after another set by the Spaniards, thwarting Spain's maritime supremacy, breaking the colonial monopoly of Spain and Portugal, and Spain began to decline.

Britain came to the fore and gradually developed into a rising and powerful colonial power, and the struggle against the colonial power of the Netherlands was inevitable.

In the sixth year of Yongli, the British fought with the Dutch, and fought the Anglo-Dutch naval hegemony war for more than 20 years.

The Huang had rifled artillery, and it should have been a no-brainer to defeat the Dutch now entrenched in the city of Geranza, where they had few garrisons and limited ships in the South China Sea.

However, the Dutch at this time were invincible, they could not tolerate the fact of being defeated by the Ming army from the perspective of national interests, and from the perspective of their country's national prestige, the Dutch would not allow their colonies to be robbed.

They had colonies all over the world, and if word got out that everyone followed suit, how would the Dutch rule?

Therefore, if the Dutch sent a powerful fleet here to retaliate when the Ming Dynasty was in internal and external difficulties, they would find out how weak the seemingly powerful Ming was, and the consequences would be unimaginable!

Peter Noyz, the third chief executive appointed by the Dutch East India Company in Taiwan, is only in his early thirties this year, and he is a young man, a guy with poor ability and low IQ, so he is destined to be a tragic character.

In the fourth year of the Apocalypse, the Dutch built the city of Geranza in Tainan City, which was the fortress of Anping Fort, and they regarded it as their own land to build a city.

The natural deep-water port that has been held by the city of Geranza has been operated into a free trade port, and the port is very prosperous, and merchant ships from all over the world come in and out.

There are many shops near the port, restaurants and brothels abound, and sailors have to go ashore to have fun every time they arrive at a port. This is the life habit of sailors, how risky it is to run the sea trade, happy today, maybe the next time you go to sea, you will be buried in the belly of the fish.

Therefore, the sailors took advantage of the rare opportunity to drink and play with women near the port, and they were stupid and had a lot of money, which led to the commercial prosperity of the port. No matter what era, the income of sailors is considerable, if you don't get a high income, who is stupid and willing to be born and run to the sea?

Suddenly there was a rumbling of cannon fire outside the noisy harbor of the city of Geranza, and the streets near the harbor were immediately chaotic.

Many high-nosed and deep-eyed Westerners rushed to the city of Geranza, shouting in Dutch language as they ran: "Enemy attack, enemy attack......

Peter Nuiz, who had just been kidnapped by the Japanese Hamada Yabei and released not long ago, hurriedly came to the watchtower of the city of Geranza and looked through a clairvoyant mirror, only to see that the sea outside the port was full of warships, densely packed with a large area, I don't know how many ships.

In order to show off his muscles, Huang Sheng brought all the ships he could bring, and now there are three hundred ships in the huge fleet. Of course, many of them are ordinary merchant ships with no combat effectiveness, but they are just fish and pearls.

Peter Noyz gasped, he could already see the flag of the huge fleet outside the harbor.

On the flaming red flag, there is a big 'Ming' character. He didn't know Chinese and only knew a few men, including the word 'Ming'.

It's the sailors of the Ming Dynasty, and they're coming to attack us? We have less than five hundred regular troops defending here, and no more than a thousand of all the Dutch who can be mobilized. I'm afraid there are nearly 10,000 people when Daming comes, right?

What am I going to do? Peter Noyz, a straw bale who rose to power by nepotism, was stunned. One of the musket captains under Peter Nuiz was his henchman, Abdul Nuiz, a professional soldier with the rank of captain.

He suggested: "Your Excellency, I suggest that we arrange our defense at once, as long as we hold the castle, our merchant ships will be coming and going here in an endless stream, and soon there will be merchant ships going to Batavia and Ambon Island to report the news, and the company headquarters will send a fleet to rescue us when it gets the news." ”

The East India Company was a commercial company established by the Netherlands in the 30th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty to colonize and plunder the East and monopolize the Oriental trade with state functions.

The Dutch had a large number of troops in Batavia and Ambon Island, Indonesia, and the company's headquarters was moved from Ambon Island to Batavia, the capital of what would become Indonesia's capital, Jakarta.

Just as the wind was raging in the city of Geranza, a ship No. 2 came to the fleet outside the harbor without artillery. Under the watchful eye of the Dutch guns, the merchant ship slowly sailed towards the harbor.

On the boat were twenty fierce martial artists led by Liu Guozheng and Li Xihan, who were majestic and majestic, holding a light steel round shield in their left hand, a bright one-handed battle axe in their right hand, a double-barreled short gun pinned to their waists, and a whole body wrapped in steel armor, and an all-steel cuirass on their upper body.

Huang Sheng's personal troops, all of whom have the potential of special forces, despise the enemy, and calmly face the guns of the Dutch.
