Anyway, it was time for him and the Dutch to have a break now. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The current pattern in Asia is very simple, the Dutch still occupy a monopoly on maritime trade by virtue of their control of the Spice Islands and Malacca, the other Spaniards occupy a lot of Luzon, but the country has declined and has no ability to reach beyond the Philippine Islands, and the Portuguese are only left with a small stronghold on the island of Timor after losing Macau, and the British and French have no stronghold east of Malacca, so that the real competition for supremacy in this area is the Ming and the Dutch.

If Yang Feng wants to really step out of the colonization, he must first use the Dutch East India Company as a stepping stone, otherwise he can't even guarantee the safety of the route to the Golden State, since this is the case......

"Form an expeditionary force and target Batavia and Malacca!"

Yang Wangye said very domineeringly.

Under the order of the prince, the navy immediately took action, and the attack on these two places was of course a naval battle, but the naval strength of the Dutch East India Company was not strong, and there were only a dozen warships that could be used, and the largest was only a third-class ship, not a large third-class ship, although the Ming army currently sent many warships to Jinzhou and the Americas, but there were still three third-class ships with 80 guns, plus the capture of the Dutch, and five third-class ships with more than 40 guns, and ten cruisers. A total of eighteen warships were sent against the fleet of the Dutch East India Company.

Thirty more armed merchant ships.

This could transport a brigade of marines for ground operations, and a brigade of marines would be enough to deal with the Dutch, after all, the Dutch East India Company did not have many real troops in Asia.

These are the little things.

In fact, Yang Feng did not think that the Dutch East India Company could be regarded as a real opponent.

However, this incident has caused a lot of sensation in Daming, after all, the expedition to a foreign land is still very eye-catching, especially the war between China and Kang Mazi is still ongoing, and in this case, it is not appropriate to erect a strong enemy......

In fact, many people want to say that they are too reckless, but now that Yang Wangye is in full swing, no one dares to say so.

However, in the eyes of the Ming people, this matter is indeed a bit of a fuss.

The contradiction between the two sides was not big, and it was a happy cooperation before, a large number of silk, tea, porcelain and even now a variety of industrial products have been added, sold to Europe by the Dutch merchant ships, and the Dutch have shipped a shipload of oil from Southeast Asia to make kerosene begin to spread in the Ming Dynasty, and the road of asphalt hardening has also appeared, which is really a happy cooperation.

Now it was nothing more than a skirmish in Macau, and the owners of the place were not Dutch, they were just going to do their allies a favor.

Da Ming just captured a few ships of the Dutch, captured more than 1,000 of them, the value of these people is to be coolies, more than a thousand coolies are not worth mentioning, and the brown slaves in the South Seas only have a few dollars? Let's talk about it, just give it face, anyway, we are also a state of etiquette, and being tolerant and generous can be regarded as letting these red-haired ghosts know the demeanor of a big country, and there is no need to be too careful.

At this time, the people of the Ming Dynasty did not know anything about the outside before, and they also knew that those red-haired ghosts were not easy to mess with, although the Ming Navy was strong, it was actually a third-rate and less second-rate goods in Europe, but the Dutch Navy was a real top power.

What if you provoke someone to send a large army?

Besides, even fighting Batavia and Malacca is not easy, and it takes a month or two to get there.

Go far away to fight other people's strong fortresses......

Isn't that a little too impulsive?

"Those who offend me in Huaxia will be punished even if they are far away!"

In the Wujin Steel Plant of Huawei Iron and Steel, Yang Wangye stood in front of the boiling steelmaking furnace and shouted.

Beside him, a group of young workers immediately shouted in the same way.

It was the old rich men who accompanied the visit with embarrassed expressions, of course, they didn't care too much, they were all made equally enthusiastic by the shocking scene of the industrial era at this time, and the churning in this steelmaking furnace was not molten steel, but gold and mercury! Although this is only a three-ton capacity steelmaking furnace, this is still an unprecedented miracle, the molten iron in the iron-making blast furnace next to it directly enters the steel-making furnace, and then continuously blows into the air, and after only a few tens of minutes, the molten iron becomes molten steel, which cannot be described as a miracle in their opinion, it can be described as a miracle.

And this steel-making furnace, 24 hours a day, can smelt the steel that used to be used in the Suzhou iron yard for a year.

"Why does this king dare to say that?"

There, Yang Feng continued to work to raise the next generation of colonialists.

"That's because of this!"

He pointed to the steel-making furnace in front of him and shouted: "It is because of the steel-making furnace, because of you, because of the steel you have made, with steel, we have muskets, cannons, and rockets, and in the future, we will build trains that do not need to be pulled by horses, and we will also build warships that run by themselves without sails, and we will be full of soldiers who we have armed with steel to occupy every inch of land under the sun."

Under the ordinary, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister.

The earth is round, and now we are here for day, and thirty thousand miles away on the New World is now night, and when our day becomes night, the night there will also become day.

One day, we will let the banner of Daming always be under the sun.

Da Ming!

The sun never sets! ”

In this way, he stood in front of the scorching steel-making furnace and officially sounded the clarion call for the Ming Dynasty to conquer the world.

"Lord, is it too abrupt to expedition to the South Seas at this time, our current maritime trade is prosperous, what if we become mortal enemies with the red-haired people because of this, and they continue to intercept our merchant ships at sea? Even if we can take Malacca, what about the route to Tessie? After all, most of our silk, tea and the like are sold to Taixi, so we can't go all the way to their hometown, right? ”

Cheng Zhiyun still couldn't help but remind him.

"That's why I'm going to take the South Seas."

Yang Feng said with a smile.

"Does Cheng Lao know what their main cargo in the East is?"

He then asked.

"Spices."

Cheng Zhiyi replied.

"Yes, spices, in addition to tea, these two things are indispensable to their daily life, we have mastered tea, if we take Nanyang again, then even spices are controlled in our hands, at that time, if the Dutch dare to intercept our merchant ships to Europe, then we will cut off their spice and tea trade. Cheng Lao, please believe me, the Netherlands is a trading country, they have very little land, they can't even eat without trade, and it is only the East India Company that occupies the South Seas, a business established by raising funds through the stock market just like our steel mills, and the Dutch government cannot do anything to survive for the loss of the East India Company. ”

Yang Feng said with a smile.

He is not afraid of this, as long as he captures Batavia and Malacca, he basically controls the spice trade, and then stations fleets in these two places, the Dutch really dare to intercept the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty going to Europe or the Middle East and Africa, so he dares to cross the Dutch ships of Malacca, he sees one and catches one by one. Da Ming didn't care about that bit of maritime trade, the Celestial Empire had everything, but if he lost the right to trade between China and Southeast Asia, the Dutch would really cry, so he was not afraid that the Dutch would dare to retaliate against him for this.

He can afford to play, but the Dutch can't.

Half a month later, in countless cheers, the Ming Expeditionary Force left the Changguo Military Port and officially embarked on a journey of 10,000 miles, and at the same time, the Ming Empire also officially embarked on a journey of 10,000 miles to conquer the world.

The dragon flew out of its lair.

And on the same day of this expeditionary force, on the distant snowy plateau, under the afterglow of the sunset, all the beards on his face over the years finally fell off, and His Royal Highness Yinren, the prince of the Qing Dynasty, who looked with a kind of feminine beauty, was lying in front of the magnificent white palace, with a face full of devotion to the ground with the five bodies, little by little climbing the long steps, at the top of the steps, a young Buddha, counting the prayer beads and silently chanting.

Well, Kang Mazi needs a god to support him.

Now the Qing Dynasty is stormy, although relying on the butcher's knife, he quickly subdued the grassland tribes, but he also knows very well that this kind of submission is only a formality, if he wants to truly obtain the submission of the grassland tribes, then he must have the support of a god behind him, and this god can only be the Buddha of the Western Heavens. Therefore, Yinren shouldered the heavy trust of the Qing Dynasty and came to show the pious respect of the Aixin Jueluo family for this Buddha, although this Buddha had to rely on the canonization of Kang Mazi before, but now it is not a time to talk about it!

Even Kang Mazi himself, not long ago, went to Kulun to personally meet the Zhebu Zundamba there, and was warmly welcomed by the Buddha, and Yinren had to go to Shigatse to meet the rest of the statue after visiting this statue, as for the fourth, that is, the one in Beijing, it has now fallen into the clutches of Yang Feng, according to Kang Mazi has been killed, and the Yang demon man's heartbroken behavior is causing the majority of grassland people to hate it.

After a long crawl, the exhausted Yinren was like a dead dog......

Finally fell short, and finally lay on the steps two steps in front of the sixth Buddha and couldn't get up, the latter, who was still relatively young and liked to write love songs, was a little at a loss, and the regent Sangjie Gyatso who really held the real power next to him hurriedly said: "Quick, quickly help His Royal Highness the Prince to rest first." ”

"No, Ben, this palace wants to worship, meet the Buddha!"

Suddenly, Yinren was like a corpse, lying on the ground with a hand stretched out, panting and saying.

Then in a stunned gaze, he struggled to get up, put on a solemn face again, and made a five-body bow to the Buddha, and at the moment when he lay on the ground, he finally couldn't support it, and his eyes closed and fainted on the Buddha's feet. (To be continued.) )
