From the departure of the Ming fleet from Songjiang Mansion to the return to Songjiang Mansion, two and a half months passed.

Cha Zhu stood on the deck of the fleet's flagship, like a mountain in the depths.

"Songjiang Mansion, Lao Tzu is finally back again......"

Cha bolt muttered, two and a half months of travel, let the bolt a lot, the previous bolt has never entered the real ocean, at most in the East China Sea this small puddle to play two dog planers, as for the Yangtze River before, compared with the ocean, the Yangtze River is just a ridge in the field, too small, the wind and waves on the Yangtze River, is just a splash when the child throws stones.

From Songjiang Mansion to Nanyang, Cha Zhu finally saw what is the real magnificence, what is the real natural power, and finally knew why the emperor has been obsessed with the ocean, it is too vast, too mysterious, too dangerous, he originally followed the emperor to conquer the south and the north, thinking that he was already invincible in the world, and in the end it was only invincible on land. When I saw the white shark, a killer whale in the ocean that was bigger than a house, the Siberian tiger also became smaller, and he became smaller, and it turned out that he had always been just a toad sitting in a well and watching the sky.

After preparing for the establishment of the Imperial Navy, he was full of confidence, and always thought that with these 100 warships, it would be a problem to sweep the world, and when he arrived in Batavia, he knew that his Imperial Navy would not be able to sweep the world, but he was afraid that even Batavia would not be able to defeat it, and on the battery of the Batavia harbor, there were 30 coastal defense guns, judging from the caliber alone, the shells of these 30 coastal defense guns would not be less than 60 catties, or even 80 catties; The Dutch fleet gathered in Batavia, two or three hundred large and small warships, and nearly 100 capital warships alone, plus the long-tested naval officers, the comprehensive combat power of the Dutch navy is only higher than that of the imperial navy!

This is just the navy of the East India Company, but what about the navy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands behind the East India Company? And what about the English Navy and the French Navy, which are competing with the Kingdom of the Netherlands? One is stronger than the other, it's ridiculous that he doesn't understand his fart, so he dares to recklessly threaten to take Batavia in one go, it's ridiculous, at least, the current Imperial Navy definitely doesn't have enough time to annex Batavia!

The only thing that makes Cha Shu feel fortunate is that now the East India Company and the Ming Empire belong to the Ma Pole and fight the wolf, and both sides are afraid, Cohen is also afraid of the Ming Empire, and he does not dare to start a war easily, so he lights the sky lantern and stands up, and finally frightens these people.

The flagship slowly leaned on the dock, and Qin Mufeng and Xu Yifan, who had been waiting at the dock for a long time, jumped onto the deck and ran quickly towards the dock.

"Haha, Lao Cha, I finally looked forward to you back, how about it, did you piggyback on the entire East India Company to be wiped out? And what kind of bastard Governor of Holland? Did you bring it back? ”

Qin Mufeng hugged the plug and asked with a laugh.

Cha Zhu grinned at Qin Mufeng, looked at Xu Yifan, and asked, "Brother Yifan, how are things being prepared?" ”

Xu Yifan smiled and said: "Don't worry, Lao Cha, with me personally in charge, all the affairs have been prepared for you, just waiting for you to send troops to Dongying, how about it, how do you feel about this trip to Nanyang?" ”

Cha Xuan shook his head with a wry smile, and replied: "Brother Yifan, before, we were sitting in the well and watching the sky, we always thought that we were already the invincible lion force in the world, in the Ming Dynasty, the soldiers pointed out, invincible, to the sea, brother I know, we are just a few inconspicuous little fleas, the sea, far more vast than we know, to be spectacular, to be mysterious, and at the same time more dangerous, before I commanded the imperial navy, I am still full of confidence, thinking that as long as I give me time, at most five years, We can sweep the world and sweep away the Dutch Navy, the English Navy, and the Spanish Navy that the emperor told us, and when I enter the heart of the ocean, enter Luzon, and enter the South Seas, I will realize how ridiculous I am......"

Qin Mufeng raised his eyebrows and said suspiciously: "Old Cha, what's wrong with you?" Got the wrong medicine? Where's your spirit? Just came back and was extremely depressed and depressed, did you really have someone possessed? I asked you if you brought back that bullshit governor's head, and you told me a bunch of useless things! ”

Cha Xuan said angrily: "You guess that someone has possessed you, the emperor has already said that the purpose of sending Nanyang is to stabilize the Dutch and paralyze Tagawa Nanzaemon, not to really exterminate the Dutch, not to mention, do you think that the strength of our current Ming fleet is really far superior to the Dutch?" Dream on! At the very least, in Batavia, we don't even have a 10% chance of winning! ”

Xu Yifan and Qin Mufeng's faces became solemn, Cha Zhu is not a person who runs the train with his mouth full, Lao Cheng is serious, he actually says so now, it can be seen that the Dutch in Nanyang are definitely extremely powerful......

"Old Cha, are the Dutch really that powerful?"

Xu Yifan asked in a deep voice.

Cha Zhu nodded and replied: "At least the fleet of the East India Company is no worse than our Imperial Navy fleet, maybe they don't have rockets, they don't have enough flowering guns, but the number of their warships is still above ours, and even the main warships are not smaller than ours, and those naval officers and soldiers have experienced waves of naval battles, which are much stronger than the officers and men of our Imperial Navy fleet, you two have not set foot in the ocean, I don't know the danger, I went once, and finally saw it, that fierce hurricane, It's too powerful, even hundreds of big ships can be swept up by hurricanes, what Manchurian fine horsemen, what Tianwei army fine horses, once they enter the hurricane, it is absolutely lifeless, I think within three years, it's best not to think about the East India Company's hands-on, we have an expedition of thousands or even tens of thousands of miles, once defeated, it will be the total annihilation, the Ming Empire can't afford such a loss......"

"Wiped it!"

Qin Mufeng snorted and scolded: "Dog's day, Lao Cha, you were scared stupid when you went to Nanyang?" What is cowardice, our brethren? If you lose, you won't lose! You're afraid that if you become like this, won't our faces be disgraced? ”

Cha Xuan sneered: "Mu Feng, Lao Tzu is not as useless as you!" Lao Tzu in the Batavia harbor, all the captives of hundreds of Dutch fell on the mast, one by one lit the sky lanterns, the artillery was turned on, ready to enter the big war at any time, after all, it was the Dutch who were instigated, and I was shocked, and now Zheng Sen is negotiating with them, and the next thing is to destroy the rebellion of Dongying first! ”
