Wei Marang looked like he was holding a pearl of wisdom.

His attitude made William, the bank director behind him, sweat.

He knew, of course, that Weimar Lang was taking a risk.

Previously, the Francos had always hoped to open up trade with the Ming Dynasty and sent a large number of envoys, but in fact, they all failed without exception.

The reason for this is nothing more than the arrogance of the Ming court.

Now, the Dutch know that the Ming can bring ten times and a hundred times more benefits than they imagined, so this time...... It is obviously not possible to send people to ask for trade every year, just like the Langji people.

Because the Franco-Rang machine people didn't succeed.

Since the Francois can't get through, then simply be more radical, after all, the interests are too great, and it has reached the point that the Dutch people can't ignore it.

So simply, take a radical line and show force, although this method is very reckless, and the risk is also very high, after all, it is not impossible to anger the Ming Dynasty, and even directly cut off all trade.

However, Weimar Lang is not a fool, and with this method, there is hope for success, after all, it works well in India.

And even if it fails, it will not be life-threatening, obviously, they know that the Ming court does not have the habit of killing the envoy, even if the envoy commits a crime, at most it is just to repatriate.

As for the East India Company Navy at sea, the Ming Court was beyond their reach, that is to say, the worst result would be to fight each other, and there would be no heavier losses.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse obviously saw through Wei Malang's mind at a glance, his face was full of murder, and he paused word by word: "Just one misunderstanding, is this matter good?" ”

"As I said, we are willing to compensate for all losses." Wei Malang said sincerely: "The price will be until His Majesty is satisfied." The Netherlands was founded on commerce, and some of them were rich, and of course, these riches were exchanged for many gunboats like ours, and countless soldiers, and if Your Majesty is willing to accept compensation, we should do our best to meet Your Majesty's demands. ”

The sincerity on Wei Marlang's face disappeared, replaced by a look of indifference, "Of course, if Your Majesty has to go to war. ”

He paused for a moment, then continued: "Your Majesty, there are four gunboats and fifteen hundred soldiers now moored in the harbor, and if you feel that this is too little for your revenge, then I can bring in forty of these gunboats, and fifteen thousand of them!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers changed color.

Of course, there will be people who are very indignant, these Dutch people are simply crazy.

However, the power of this gunboat at the moment is indeed very terrifying, if there are another forty ships, 15,000 people, at least the Ming sailors, even if they can compete with it, it is also exhausting, not to mention that if they continue to attack the Ming port, the Ming army can not kill them, but they can attack at any time, to a certain extent, the Ming is strategically in a passive state.

Of course, this is not the most important thing, the important thing is that the war situation in Liaodong is urgent, and the rogue has become more and more intense, if the war starts at sea now, it is equivalent to being attacked on three sides.

If Emperor Taizu Gao or Emperor Chengzu were there, they would naturally have beaten these guys out of X long ago.

Even in the Jiajing and Wanli years, the Ming army would never let them be so arrogant.

But the current situation.

Everyone was silent one by one, although some people wanted to react violently, but at this time they felt a little lacking in confidence.

Emperor Apocalypse thought that at this time, the ministers would be angry, who would have expected that the left and the right would wait for the left, these old ministers, when they were really old, they were even more angry.

At this time, there is a humane: "You are threatening us? ”

"It's not a threat." Wei Marang said: "As far as I know, your country is full of rebellions now, and you are in the northeast, there are countless barbarians who are constantly attacking. These were the greatest threats to the emperor's state. We, the Dutch people, only want to trade and expand our banking business, and we do not want to be mired in war with your country, which does not benefit us in any way. Therefore, our attitude is very simple, that is, we hope that Daming will consider our proposal, and as for the current conflicts and misunderstandings, we will definitely use all means to meet the compensation demanded by your country......"

"That's the threat!" Zhang Jingyi said unceremoniously: "With these threats, do you think that Your Majesty will compromise?" ”

"Don't dare." Weimar Lang has always had a breezy attitude.

It's probably a pair, you see that something has happened, you can't kill me, as for my ship, you can't do anything, of course, I'm willing to bow and apologize, it's just like this, you look at it yourself.

Zhang Jing said: "Since you want compensation, then, in my Daming, compensation is also very simple." ”

"Huh?" Wei Malang looked at Zhang Jingyi, he saw that Zhang Jingyi was young, and he couldn't grasp Zhang Jingyi's identity, so he said: "If you can make a request, this is great." ”

"My request is very simple, pay off the debt, and kill to pay for the life." Zhang Jing said: "All the people on the ship are murderers who killed my Ming people, now, order all of them to get off the boat and hand them over to me Daming to deal with." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded subconsciously after hearing this.

Only in this way can we not lose face and give an explanation to the dead and wounded.

But the ministers, don't expect this, this is a barbarian, you expect the barbarian to obey his fate?

Wei Malang never expected that Zhang Jingyi made such a request, and he couldn't help it, he smiled.

Wei Marang as the governor of the East India Company in Malacca, has been many years, here, he has experienced many wars, in fact, he has never put the natives here in his eyes, for the Ming Dynasty, he feels that he has paid enough patience, now hearing this Zhang Jingyi put forward such a harsh request, he can't help but smile: "If this is the case, then I can't agree with it, you are in the past difficult, we can compensate, but the mistakes of our soldiers are not allowed to suffer any harm because of this." ”

Zhang Jing smiled: "What if I have to be punished." ”

"Then it's time for war." Wei Ma Lang said: "You should know very well that this is not much good for Da Ming, because Da Ming already has a lot of trouble right now. ”

As soon as Zhang Jing said that, he ignored Wei Marang, but looked at the Emperor of the Apocalypse: "Your Majesty, I implore Your Majesty to immediately punish all the perpetrators." ”

When the Emperor of the Apocalypse heard this, he was already furious, and said to himself: "Yes! ”

Zhang Jing said: "Pass the order, attack!" ”

The word "sortie" is out.

A group of cadets under the high platform did not move at all.

When the officials saw it, their eyes were straight, and they all said to attack, but what about people?

Wei Marlang was a little nervous at first, after all, his strategy had failed, which forced both him and Da Ming into a corner, and the two sides turned against each other.

But soon, he made up his mind, and it was a big deal, so he went back to Xiaoliuqiu and made a decision again.

……

In the distance, whistles were heard one after another.

Immediately after that, the sea ...... Several boats began to appear.

The boats were actually heading for four gunboats.

Finally, the boats were discovered.

Hearing someone exclaim, the Emperor of the Apocalypse picked up the binoculars, and then, his face couldn't help but turn red.

Wei Malang also seemed to notice it, and couldn't help but say, "That's it?" ”

Zhang Jingyi was calm and silent.

…………

Li Dingguo and the others rowed all the way to the center of the bay, and at this time they were almost two hundred zhang away from the gunboat.

Then they began to take a long pole and fish out a log that was floating on the sea, and on this log was tied copper wire.

Remove the copper wire.

Then, pinching one end of the copper wire, after determining the distance, they began to slowly move away from the gunboats.

Until the copper wire has been pulled.

Then, Li Dingguo took out a silver coin and a zinc plate very skillfully, and then used salt water paper to separate the two...... They carefully pinched one end of the copper wire and began to connect towards the thing.

This is the most primitive battery, with salt water, plus multiple groups of connections, the power has met the demand, Li Dingguo and others have done experiments, if connected to the copper wire, at the other end of the copper wire, not only can spark out, but also can be the other end of the electric numbness.

This kind of battery is not very stable, but it is better than the simple structure.

After you are ready together.

Li Dingguo looked up at the people on the ship.

Many Dutch soldiers had already peeked out from the huge ship, and these soldiers heard the sound of the Ming army attacking, and then they saw small boats 'killing' towards this side.

At first, they were extremely surprised.

But when they saw this poor little boat, they couldn't help it...... Surprised.

Immediately, many people were on deck, laughing.

"Hahaha......"

Laughter echoed on the gunboat named Prince William.

They didn't even look at Li Dingguo and the others.

And Li Dingguo is still very calm.

Slowly, he touched the copper wire to the end of the 'battery'.

Bang Bang Bang ......

As soon as the copper wire comes into contact with the battery, sparks begin to spark.

Li Dingguo felt that his hand pinching the copper wire had begun to go numb.

This copper wire is not wrapped with an insulator.

Fortunately, the power is not large.

Then, a flash of electricity rushed to the other end of the copper wire.

At the other end of the water, in the bee's iron ball, the electric current splashed sparks in the black powder inside.

As a result, the black powder burned rapidly in the iron ball, and with a muffled bang, the huge iron ball began to vibrate wildly.

Then, the violent impact finally caused the yellow powder to swell.

Bang......

It is as if there are thousands of waves rising from the bottom of the sea.

Bang...... An even more violent explosion resounded in the sky!

......

And also!
