Chapter 1432: I panicked
At the same time as Zhu Jie's ministers urgently deployed for operations, Yizhou and Geranza also ushered in Kluivert and others.
"Mr. Kluivert, will this trip to Fuzhou go smoothly?"
He asked with a smile.
Kluivert frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "General Yi, are you laughing at us for being useless?" ”
He was stunned and said, "What do you mean, Mr. Cluivert?" General Ben is just asking what is the outcome of your negotiations, why are you so dissatisfied? ”
Kluivert snorted coldly, "What is the result? Didn't I send someone to inform you in advance? Hurry up, prepare for defense, negotiations break down, this time the Ming Empire has completely turned its face, I am afraid that it is really going to war with the four Western countries, if it really wants to go to war, Gelansha City will definitely wave the Ming fleet to bear the brunt of the attack! ”
He felt his head dizzy, and said urgently: "Send someone to inform me?" Kluivert, what are you kidding? I didn't even see a single figure! ”
Kluivert was shocked and said, "What did you say?" Didn't see the person I sent? How can it be? I sent four waves of people in a row, more than a dozen, for fear of delaying the military plane, and you didn't even see a single one! ”
"Absolutely not!"
Yu Yi said categorically: "Kluivert, since you left, I have arranged for someone to wait at the port of Luermen, and even sent people in the direction of Kinmen, and not a single figure has been waited!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the faces of the two people became extremely difficult to see, and not a single figure was seen, so there was only one possibility, all the people were controlled by the people of the Ming Empire, and all of them were arrested, and now they are only afraid that they are already more auspicious, why cut off the intelligence line of the Netherlands? There is only one possibility, that is, the Ming army is going to make a move, and it is going to move towards the four countries of the West!
Kluivert is right, if the Ming Dynasty wants to go to war, the first target is Geranza, there is absolutely no doubt, Tainan is a nail in the chest of the Ming Dynasty by the Netherlands, because of the existence of Tainan, the Dutch face the Ming Empire, can attack and retreat, and occupy a huge advantage, it is definitely a thorn in the eye of the Ming Empire.
Once the war starts, Gelanza will bear the brunt, if it is a few years ago, there is no need to worry, although Zheng Zhilong's Fujian sailors are strong, but the artillery power is not great, if you want to take Gelanza and Chichicheng, there is no one and a half years, I am afraid that it is impossible, and Batavia's reinforcements can rush from Batavia to Yizhou in a month and a half at most, and the main force is all together, Zheng Zhilong's Fujian sailors cannot take any advantage; But now it's different, the Ming Empire is too powerful, it has been so strong that the forces of the four countries are jealous, just two fortresses, if you want to compete with the king of the Ming Empire, it is simply a fantasy, not to mention half a year, the two cities can support a month or two of time It can be regarded as burning incense, even if the main fleet of the East India Company rushes to help, there is no certainty of repelling the Ming fleet, and the strength of the two fleets has begun to surpass the fleet of the East India Company!
"Phillips!"
He shouted.
Phillips, the chief of staff on the side, hurriedly ran over and responded: "General! ”
"Pass the order, from now on, all parts of Tainan will be on strict alert, all the troops will be assembled towards Gelansha and Chichicheng, and all will enter a state of combat readiness, and the order will be sent to the Luermen Fort to prepare for war around the clock, and the fleet will cruise day and night, all day long, in case of a surprise attack by the Ming army!"
Drink the order.
Phillips was startled, and said urgently: "General Yi, this, this, are we really going to war with the Ming Empire?" Let's have such a small number of troops, I'm afraid it's not enough to stuff the teeth of the Ming army, you must know that more than 100,000 troops in Dongying have been annihilated by the Ming army in just one or two months, and we only have a total of 4,000 troops......"
"Nonsense!"
He shouted angrily: "These old men still use you to remind me? Now it's not a question of whether we want to fight, but whether the Ming Empire wants to fight, even if we don't want to fight, the Ming Empire will still go to war, if you don't want to die, then the whole army is urgently prepared for war, take out all our weapons and ammunition, take strict precautions, and, immediately send people to Batavia, ask Governor Cohen for help, ask the Governor to send troops to help quickly, it's too late, we all have to go to God! ”
"Yes, sir!"
Phillips was just about to go down to give the order, and he stopped with a sigh: "Now I want the Governor to ask for help, but I'm afraid it's too late, so I immediately ordered someone to go to the Luzon Islands, meet the Spanish Governor Davis, and ask the Spanish fleet to rush to the aid of Yizhou, as long as they are willing to send troops to help, no matter how much it costs, we will agree!" ”
It's not stupid, back and forth, from Tainan to Batavia, not far away, the news reached Batavia, Cohen still has to assemble the fleet, but also to replenish weapons and ammunition, it takes a lot of time, want to rush to help Batavia, a month and a half is still the shortest time, maybe two months are possible, after all, there is not enough certainty, Cohen does not dare to let his main fleet rashly attack, once it fails, it will be the end of the good days of the Dutch in the South Seas!
At this time, the only thing that can help himself is the Spanish fleet, however, Davis is not stupid, sending troops to aid Yizhou, that is to risk a huge danger, there are not enough interests, no one wants to have more branches, even if Yizhou is lost, Spain will not have any loss, the loss is the Spaniards' biggest opponent in the South Seas, Davis is definitely happy to see it, interests, must come up with enough benefits, in order to make Davis change his mind and send troops to the war!
The news soon spread among the Dutch garrison in Tainan, the Ming Empire was going to attack Tainan, which was simply the end of the world, the Dutch garrison was fluctuating, panicked, and had already begun to mess up before the war started.
The entire Tainan has already begun to act, constantly deploying troops, and all the troops scattered everywhere have been gathered in Geranza and Chichicheng to prepare for battle.
Only more than two days later, on the other side of the strait, the Ming Empire launched an operation, the second fleet all attacked, hundreds of warships on the sea like covering the sky and the sun, rushed towards the port of Luermen, Cha Bolt and Zheng Haotian left and right, accompanied by Zhu Jie's side, sitting on the flagship, not far away, Zheng Cai commanded the fleet to begin to unfold the formation, the big battle finally arrived!
