The imperial generals present also remained silent at the beginning of watching Gao Hongtu's recital.

The atmosphere in the entire hall was very dull.

"Your Majesty!"

A thunderous shout made Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen and the imperial officials raise their heads.

Oh.

Zhu Youzhen saw Zhou Yuji walk in front of him, and knelt down on one knee: "There is no way outside, kill my compatriots, Weichen please lead the army to Nanyang immediately and kill all the Western thieves!" ”

"Wechen also ask for life, how can I, Hanmin, allow them to be slaughtered like this, this revenge will not be avenged, Wechen will not be able to sleep and eat, please give an order to Your Majesty!"

Liu Fangliang also knelt down on one knee and said indignantly.

Even Liu Kongzhao was not far behind, and stepped forward vigorously: "As long as Your Majesty says a word, Weichen will immediately lead the navy to level his Batavia City and chop up those Western fans and feed them to the dogs!" ”

And Li Yan, who had been silent all the time, stepped forward at this time, raised his hands together above his head, and saluted Zhu Youzhen: "Your Majesty, what Weichen has to say is that at the beginning of the year, we have set a strategy, and the empire is still implementing the policy of first north and then south, and now the main force of the army is basically concentrated in the northeast and Shandong, and the navy is also assembled in Songjiang, and the main energy of Jinyiwei is also in the Japanese and Korea, our war plan to fight the Japanese is not on hold, although the people of Nanyang are in flames, but we change the imperial strategy, it is really quite inappropriate, Your Majesty, please think twice. ”

Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen admitted that Li Yan was right, and now the military strategy he had just formulated for the Ming Empire was to first conquer the Japanese State and then to the south, first conquer the Japanese State, and then set Korea in the north, consolidate the Ming Dynasty's control over the north of Taiwan, and then pass through the South Seas.

But now that the Dutch are massacring the Han people in Nanyang, Zhu Youzhen doesn't know if he delays the Ming Dynasty for a moment, whether the entire Han people in Nanyang will be slaughtered.

In that case, not only would these Dutch people consolidate their occupation of these colonies even more, but it would even make it more difficult for the Ming Dynasty to seize these colonies in the future, and even lead to the fact that there would not be many Han people to rule after the Ming Dynasty occupied the colonies.

Whether it is based on the feelings of compatriots and the long-term interests of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youzhen cannot sit idly by and watch the Dutch and local natives slaughter the Han people at will.

"There are unforeseen circumstances, the world situation is changing, even the set strategy must be changed, now if we allow these Westerners to slaughter my Han people, he will occupy these regions in the Ming Dynasty will have no people to dominate, and my Han people have always been the most industrious and courteous, and treat people generously, but now they have been repeatedly slaughtered by foreign captives, I intend to reproduce the majesty of my Han family, as Chen Tang said in the Han Dynasty: 'Those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away!' Now that there are outsiders who are not afraid of my great tomorrow and dare to slaughter my Han people, if I don't kill their thieves, what face do I have to be the emperor of the Han family! Needless to say, I have made up my mind! ”

Zhu Youzhen drank coldly.

Li Yan and the others had no choice but to give up: "The ministers obey the order!" ”

……

It was just dawn before the imperial generals began to leave the Forbidden City, and Zhu Youzhen was just lying on the soft collapse and taking a nap.

But this was only the beginning, and then the state apparatus of the empire began to enter a busy period.

On the same day, Zhu Youzhen also issued a war mobilization order to the cabinet, and decided that Ma Shiying would be re-elected as the first assistant to avoid disorder caused by the change of the first assistant in the imperial administrative system.

As a result, Ma Shiying led the entire cabinet system to quickly prepare logistical support for the Nanyang War.

At the same time, the Generalissimo's Office officially issued a declaration of war on behalf of the Ming Emperor against the Netherlands, and the Netherlands naturally referred to the Netherlands, and the reasons for the declaration of war naturally do not need to be detailed, people have raised their butcher's knives to the Han people, and the Ming Dynasty has every reason to declare war on it.

In the end, it was Liu Fangliang who was in charge, Zhou Yuji was more familiar with the northeast and Monan, and it was more suitable to stay in the rear of the Beijing division, while the navy was almost the whole army this time, and Liu Kongzhao led Gu San Mazi and Zheng Chenggong to the south.

Li Mingrui, the governor of Liangguang, was appointed governor of Nanyang, responsible for the logistics of the entire army.

At the same time, Zhu Youzhen also issued an order to the Zheng group, ordering him to also send ships to assist the imperial court in exterminating Hongmaofan.

The East China Sea Fleet, led by Gu Sanmazi, marched west along the coastline of Fujian and Zhejiang to Guangdong, and then south to Sumatra.

The South China Sea Fleet, led by Zheng Chenggong, had already gone directly south, preparing to arrive at Jinzhou first to launch an offensive against the Dutch.

The Eighth Army of the Guards Army undertook the land combat mission of this campaign, led by Liu Fangliang to Guangzhou by land, and then went to sea, and the East China Sea Fleet undertook the transportation task to land in Jinzhou and Batavia.

In other words, in the early stage, it was the South China Sea Fleet of the Navy that was mainly responsible for saving Jinzhou and Batavia Hanmin.

Although today's Ming Dynasty has not yet built steam ironclad ships, but thanks to the empire's strong industrial production capacity, the number of sail warships has been quite a lot, even the South China Sea Fleet, which was formed at the latest and has the worst combat power, now has ten third-class warships, more than 30 second-class warships, and more than 70 first-class warships, and there are no less than 100 other large and small warships, and there are no less than 30,000 officers and soldiers participating in the battle.

Even if the Dutch have been rooted in Batavia for decades, the total strength of the Dutch East India Company is no longer comparable to that of the Ming South China Sea Fleet.

However, the Dutch East India Company did not know that their actions had completely angered the Ming Emperor Zhu Youzhen, causing the Ming Empire to change its existing plan and send a whole country of troops to conquer them.

The South China Sea Fleet arrived at Jinzhou first.

At this time, the natives of Jinzhou had already rioted at the instigation of the Dutch and began to kill the Han people, and Gao Hongtu, the Marquis of Jinzhou, could only defend Jinzhou City, and even the navy outside Jinzhou City had been attacked by the fleet of the Dutch East India Company.

Now, as soon as the South China Sea Fleet appeared, it launched an attack on the fleet of the Dutch East India Company in Jinzhou.

The fleet of the Dutch East India Company naturally did not dare to confront the Daming South China Sea Fleet, and before it could fire, it retreated back to Batavia City like a turtle with a shrunken head.

The South China Sea Fleet successfully disembarked at Jinzhou.

The marines began to shoot wildly at the natives surrounding Jinzhou City with new bolt-type rifled rifles, and these natives who were trying to attack Jinzhou City through the muskets provided by the Dutch naturally could not resist the attack of the Ming Marines.

Under a volley, these natives who tried to resist were directly beaten to pieces, wolves and rats.

The siege of Jinzhou was thus resolved, and in addition to leaving some marines to guard Jinzhou and sweep away the natives around Jinzhou City, the main force of the South China Sea Fleet continued to march towards Batavia City.

Although the massacre of the Han people by the Dutch and local natives is now coming to an end, this does not mean that the Ming Dynasty does not have to retaliate, and there are always those who have survived and need to be rescued by the Ming army.

More than 200 warships came to Batavia like a cover of the sky and the sun, and 30,000 Ming naval soldiers were all waiting for them, in order to take revenge against these Dutch, the South China Sea Fleet came towards Batavia in a dragnet manner, so as to achieve the purpose of encircling the Dutch East India Company and destroying it all.
