Shi Kefa's voice fell, and everyone laughed, this is the case, escorted by warships, how many warships will go? In the face of the Dutch and the Spaniards, unless the two fleets are dispatched together, otherwise, in this situation, it is useless to go, it is better to travel lightly and follow the caravan safely.

Zheng Chenggong said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, although it is easy for Lord Xianzhi to say, but also to be on guard against what happens, this Westerner is the most greedy, the Dutch are like this, and the English are even worse, I am afraid that if I don't give them some benefits, it is not so easy to destroy their alliance......"

Zhu Jie nodded, thought for a while, and replied: "What Ming Yan said makes sense, Xianzhi, when you see the governor of England, you don't need to be polite, you should give up the interests, just give up, however, we must ensure our control over the South Seas, well, it is best to divide the sphere of influence, the South Sea Islands are our interests, hehe, if the English want to ask for it, it's not that they don't give them face, here, the Indochina Peninsula, you can let them take it, if you have the ability, they will all take it down, we don't care, but Java, The Luzon Islands, Malaya and especially the Strait of Malacca must be under our control, and no one will be allowed to touch them! ”

Shi Kefa was shocked and asked: "Your Majesty, the territory of the Indochina Peninsula is not small, there are several countries, and we are all busy adjacent, once the English really mobilize a large army and annex the Indochina Peninsula, it will bring a huge threat to our Ming Dynasty!" ”

"Haha......"

Zhu Jie laughed and said: "Xianzhi, you say, what is the most powerful thing about our Ming Dynasty?" Which one is better, the Navy or the Army? ”

Without thinking, Shi Kefa replied: "Your Majesty, although the naval fleet is developing rapidly, however, looking at it now, it is natural that our Tianwei Army Tianxiong Army is more powerful, Tianwei Army Tianxiong Army has 200,000 strong divisions, plus tens of thousands of elites in Beijing, even the entire Western Ocean may not be able to get so many army elites!" ”

"That's it!"

Zhu Jie stood up and said with a smile: "Let them occupy the Indochina Peninsula, just to clean up the English when they face the scene in the future, at sea, we may not have enough strength to deal with them, but on land, even if England sends troops from the country, it is not our opponent!" Once the two sides are at odds, our Tianwei Army Tianxiong Army can drive straight into the Indochina Peninsula from Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi, and still be able to drive the English out of the South Seas without using the navy! ”

The corners of Shi Kefa's mouth twitched, this emperor, the abacus is too shrewd, as soon as he opened his mouth, he had already set his sights on years or even decades later......

Zhu Jie picked up the brush, brushed a little bit on the bookcase, wrote the national letter, stamped the seal, handed it over to Shi Kefa's hand, and said in a deep voice: "Xianzhi, this mission, not compared to the last time, is extremely dangerous, no matter whether it is successful or not, remember to return safely, I still have a lot of affairs to be handed over to you!" ”

Shi Kefa nodded and replied, "Your Majesty, the minister knows!" ”

Zhu Jie continued: "That's the matter of Xianzhi, let's go on to talk about the next thing, since we have determined the strategy of distant friendship and close attack, then the next thing we have to clean up is the Portuguese, Spanish and Dutch, and I will order Zhou Datong, the general soldier of Guangdong, to lead troops into Mazu Island, pressure the Portuguese to surrender, tell the Portuguese, I give them a chance, give up their military presence on Mazu Island, compensate for the losses of the Ming in the Fushou Paste trade, and I allow them to do business normally in the Ming Dynasty, Daming is responsible for protecting the safety of their navigation along the Daming coast and the Dongying coast, if they don't agree, then the jade will be burned, and the fate of the Dutch devils in Yizhou will be their fate! The Ming Empire will never allow Western countries to maintain a military presence around the Ming Dynasty to threaten the security of the Ming Dynasty. ”

The eunuch on the side quickly recorded the will.

Zhu Jie continued: "Mu Feng, gather the forces of the Tianxiong Army, ready to go south to Luzon at any time, we will completely kill the Spaniards, it is best not to give them a chance to join forces with the Dutch, and break them all!" ”

Qin Mufeng nodded and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the Spaniards in Luzon Island are not to be feared, and it will be easy for the Tianxiong Army to exterminate them!" ”

Zhu Jie looked at Cha Bolt and said: "Lao Cha, this time to enter Luzon, it's all up to you, the two fleets will go out together, bring enough weapons and baggage, so as to defeat the enemy, and kill the Spanish fleet first!" As for the Dutch, it turned out that they were in Batavia, five or six thousand miles away from us, and we needed to prepare again before we could make an expedition to Batavia! ”

Cha Xuan nodded and said: "Weichen understands, the emperor can rest assured, defeating the Spanish fleet is not a problem!" The only thing that the minister needs to be careful about is that the Dutch fleet suddenly arrives and the two join forces, then we may need to adjust our strategy and start the war again, otherwise, eat the Spanish fleet, it will be a backhand matter! ”

Zhu Jie was discussing with his courtiers about attacking Nanyang, and to the south of Yizhou, a fleet had arrived!

It was the Spanish fleet that came, and the Spaniards still did not resist the temptation of one million taels of silver after all, and sent troops!

From Tainan to Luzon Island, the distance is not very far, but two or three thousand miles, and it took less than eight days for a warship to rush to Luzon Island, meet with the Spanish Governor Davis, and ask Davis to send a fleet to help Tainan.

Rushing to the aid of Yizhou?

Joke!

Davis almost drove the messenger out directly, and Daming's fleet is actually easy? A few years ago, the strength of the Ming fleet had already surpassed the Spanish fleet, and now I am afraid that the gap has become wider and wider.

"Seth, what are you doing when General Yi didn't send you to Batavia for help, but ran to Luzon? Let Ben Governor lead the fleet to aid Yizhou, do you dream? Now that the strength of the Ming fleet is far superior to that of the Spanish fleet, shall we go up and send it to death? If it weren't for the fact that the two countries were still in an alliance, the Governor would have cut you down right now! ”

Davis shouted.

Seth said in an astringent voice: "Your Excellency Governor, our general has already sent someone to Batavia to ask for help, but you also know that from Tainan to Batavia, more than six thousand miles, even if the speed is fast, a distance of 12,000 miles back and forth, in less than two months, our East India Company's fleet will not be able to reach Geranza, far water will not quench the thirst of the near, now the fleet of the Ming Dynasty has all been dispatched to blockade the port of Luermen, once the attack is launched, the city of Geranza and the city of Chichia will not last long!" ”
