Next, the Huang navy sailed directly to the city of Geranza in northern Taiwan to buy something from the Dutch governor Peter Noiz, who often escorted merchant ships to trade here, which made Peter Noiz extremely nervous every time.

Xiyi all knew that overseas colonization was completely the survival of the strong, and it turned out that Peter Nuiz thought that the Dutch were absolutely strong, but now his view is completely different, and he used a clairvoyant mirror to observe the warships escorted by the Ming Dynasty every time, and secretly began to count.

The statistical results of the past few years made him stunned and inexplicable, and he found that the Ming Dynasty must have more than a hundred large ships with heavy artillery, which is already an absolute powerhouse, but the entire East India Company will not have more than fifty warships like this.

Taiwan is far away from the Netherlands but close to the Ming Dynasty, what if the Ming Dynasty attacks?

Peter Nuiz trembled and received Li Xihan, who had come down from a warship entering the port, dressed in the regular uniform of a Ming military attaché, and he learned that the Ming Dynasty was still coming for fair trade, and quickly informed the merchants to let the Ming Dynasty inspect the goods prepared.

Captain Abdu Noiz, the captain of the Dutch musketeers, led more than a hundred men to stare at a general flag Ming army ashore, and they found that the Ming army was too extravagant, and the muskets were actually equipped with expensive cuirasses, and they actually had short guns pinned to their waists in addition to their long guns.

This general flag is Huang Sheng's personal army, and the equipment, combat skills, and mental outlook should belong to the first place in today's world, and the Dutch certainly look straight at it.

Li Xihan knew Abdul Nuiz and decided to tease him to deter Xiyi, and Li Xihan gestured to Abdul Nuiz and pointed to a few flagpoles about 100 paces.

Abdul Nuiz was not low in understanding, he understood what the Ming official meant, and knew that Li Xihan was going to shoot down those flags with a musket, so he pursed his lips contemptuously and did not believe it at all.

Li Xihan took the whole set of skillful loading sent by his command, and it seemed that with a shot in his hand, the flag on the flagpole fell in response, and then reloaded, fired, reloaded, and fired again at a dizzying speed, and five shots in a row, the guns were not empty, and the five flags of the East India Company fell to the ground one after another.

The soldiers of the pro-army cheered and thundered, the Dutch soldiers were dumbfounded, and Abdu Nouz was dumbfounded, and like many Dutch soldiers, his mouth was open and his mouth was drooling.

All the Dutch officers and men were terrified, their muskets could not reach the places of those flags, let alone bring them down.

Da Ming has a musket that can accurately hit such a distance, if we fight with Da Ming in the future, won't we just be beaten?

These Dutch soldiers who had been guarding the Ming army suddenly relaxed collectively, and they found that if the Ming army really moved, it seemed that the Dutch would become lambs to the slaughter one by one.

Peter Noyz and many other Dutch merchants were sweating and looked at Li Xihan with a blank eye, not knowing what he wanted. Li Xihan said to an interpreter: "What are you doing standing stupidly, tell them what to do, the official is in a hurry to go back." ”

The translator was a Han man, and at this time he felt that his eyebrows were more tough, and he said loudly: "My lord, the little one understands, and immediately let these barbarians sharpen their minds." ”

In the end, under the uneasy gaze of Peter Nuiz and his subordinates, the Ming army bought up all the copper, sugar, cotton, deerskin, and spices collected in the city of Geranza during this time and left.

The Dutch were still standing in the harbor one by one to watch the Ming fleet leave, when suddenly there was a loud "boom", and a reef in the sea burst open, which was the Ming army's "Duke of Huaxia" fired a salvo of four 32-pound rifled guns, accurately hitting a reef four nautical miles away.

Peter Noyz shuddered with fright, and quickly pretended to be calm and stood up, peeking at the others, and found that they were all the same color.

In the days that followed, the Dutch merchants and Peter Nuyz wrote to Governor Jean Peterlsson Kundan, the supreme commander of the East India Company, telling him to keep an eye on the Ming navy and not to come into conflict with them.

Because the range and power of the Ming artillery were so terrifying, their deck warships equipped with heavy artillery could be several times that of the East India Company, and their soldiers' muskets could accurately hit targets more than one hundred and fifty yards.

Later, the legend that the Ming army was too powerful spread in all the colonies of the Dutch, and even many merchants from other countries knew that it was dangerous not to mess with the Ming.

As summer turns to autumn, the autumn trade fair of "Huaxia Island" is unprecedented, which is due to the multiplication of wealthy businessmen from the Ming Dynasty who come to participate in the meeting, and there is no doubt that most of these businessmen are spokesmen of bureaucratic capital.

The most active person is naturally Ping Xibo Wu Xiang, and he doesn't know what relationship he used to sneak out of Beijing to "Huaxia Island" to escape.

Wu Xiang has been here many times as an old acquaintance, and his social skills are outstanding, and he took the initiative to help Zhao Rui and Zhao Shimin receive a group of gentlemen and wealthy businessmen, just like a master.

The reason why so many Ming businessmen came to this commodity fair was because the Ming eunuchs urgently needed to inquire whether the "God of War" was sick or not, and whether the strength of the Huang family was damaged because of the rescue of Jinzhou.

Huang Sheng was pretending to be sick, of course, it was not good to come forward to receive all kinds of immortals, but he secretly drank a big meal with Wu Xiang.

Seeing the radiant Huang Sheng, Wu Xiang was a little flattered, he thought that Huang Sheng only invited him to meet because he definitely took a fancy to him, and showed loyalty on the spot, asking Huang Sheng not to treat him as an outsider, and if there was anything bad about coming forward, just arrange for him to handle it.

Huang Sheng really had something to build momentum, and after three rounds of drinking, he informed Wu Xiang that when he returned to Beijing, he would contact a large number of powerful businessmen, because he was going to set up a big business called "Huaxia Development".

Wu Xiang repeated this strange name and said: "Nanguo Gong, what does 'Huaxia Development' mean?" ”

Huang Sheng said with a smile: "As the name suggests, of course, it is to vigorously develop my Huaxia. ”

"Nanguo Gong, the lower officials are stupid and don't know how to develop?"

"Lord Wu, didn't you see the proud soldiers and fierce generals under the command of Lord Wu, and didn't you see those many strong ships and cannons?"

"Of course, these subordinates have long seen it, but what does this have to do with the 'development of Huaxia'?"

"This world is very big, business can be thousands of miles away, how can you do those distant transactions that can make huge profits without strong ships and cannons?"

"Of course, Xia Guan understands, Nanguo Gong is ready to join forces with Ming merchants who are willing to form a gang to do those big deals thousands of miles away?"

"Lord Wu is really smart, just a little bit through! Let the rich and wealthy businessmen who are willing to contribute their capital take out the silver, let's concentrate these wealth, build more strong ships and cannons, train more warriors, and kill the competitors at sea one by one in the future, what is the final result? ”
