Yang Side, who was wearing a black gauze hat, dusted off the folds on his scarlet robe, and walked down the deck from the bamboo basket majestically with a jade belt. ~~. ~~

"On behalf of all the soldiers of the Dutch Far East Army of the East India Company, I welcome you." Major General Ryan stood upright, since he was going to raid Haidu, then he had to convince the envoy of the sincerity of their surrender, Ryan knew it in his heart, so his face was full of sycophants.

Yang Side's task this time is to paralyze the Dutch, since it is a plan, it is natural to make the Dutch believe in the sincerity of the Ming Dynasty to accept the surrender of the Dutch army, among the civil and military officials, can not be afraid of danger, and only Yang Side can be competent with such a talent for performance, this time the mission is very simple, but the responsibility is very heavy, and finally pick and choose, and have to let Yang Side, the actor in the cabinet, come out.

Yang Side listened to Ames's translation with his hands behind his back, rolled his eyes arrogantly, and said leisurely with a victorious gesture: "Excuse me, the soldiers are willing to submit to Wanghua, our emperor is benevolent, and I am unwilling to make a big conquest, and I am willing to accept your invitation to surrender." ”

"We are willing to lay down our arms to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and we are willing to offer our allegiance to the Great Sovereign. Your Excellency, the sea breeze is too strong here, please come to the command cabin and talk. Major General Lane turned a blind eye to the envoy's arrogance and paid tribute to Yang Side with respect.

 Yang Side nodded, and entered the command cabin under the leadership of Major General Lane. Ryan's adjutant made Yang Side a cup of strong tea, and after greetings, Yang Side said: "Your ship has so many ships, and the port of Haidu is a place of trade and commerce, and there are many trades to and fro, so the fleet cannot land from the harbor." It can be changed to land in the bay ten miles north of the port. ”

 As you wish. Rear Admiral Lane thought about it, there were many merchant ships coming and going to Haidu along the way. Haidu Harbor must be full of ships, although the position of the port raid is better, but in order to be able to paralyze them, it is not possible to land ten miles north, as long as they can land, and raid Haidu with lightning speed, they can also receive miraculous results.

 Yang Side saw Major General Lane's respectful appearance, and sneered in his heart. Since the other party has another conspiracy, the more arrogant he is, the more he will make the other party relax his vigilance, he glanced at his mouth, and glanced at Ryan with disdain: "After boarding the ship, everyone must put down their weapons under the supervision of my Ming Wangshi and temporarily detain them." As for the rest, on behalf of the fleet, you will discuss with the Ministry of Rites, and if your conditions are reasonable, I will certainly grant your request. ”

Before Major General Lane could speak, Yang Side had already taken Arms away. As he passed the deck, he was proud to take a sip in front of the line of Dutch soldiers who were lined up to welcome him.

 When Yang Side and Arms were hoisted off the battleship, they returned to their own boat and rode away in the wind. The captains of the ships had arrived at the main ship of the Orange.

Major General Lane repeated Yang Side's words, and finally asserted: "The envoys of the Ming Dynasty are very arrogant, obviously they think that the expeditionary force is no longer capable of fighting the Ming Dynasty, this is a golden opportunity, when your enemy is proud, it is the time for you to defeat the enemy." ”

The officers were originally dissatisfied with Yang Side's arrogance. After the analysis of Major General Lane, he also felt that it was very reasonable, and the enemy who was empty-eyed was always the easiest to defeat.

• Adjutant, give me the order that the fleet should sail northward, that we should land ten miles north of the port, and that all the officers would be able to disseminate our plans when they returned, and that everyone should cheer up, and that we would deal a blow to the barbarians. ”

 Yes, sir. The officers responded with joy. Hundred-horse-drawn two-wheeled artillery began to move north. In front of them, the Ming army marched on foot for miles. Dozens of fast horses galloped back and forth on the side of the gallop, transmitting one command after another.  Zhang Youde rode a tall horse and walked in the front. Mu Jianming and Li Xiao followed, followed by dozens of flag-holding soldiers, Zhang Youde rode the horse, the horse speed was not fast, and from time to time he turned his head sideways to ask Mu Jianming and Li Xiao.

 General Zhang, the beach ahead is our destination. Mu Jianming's eyes are sharp, the beach in front of him is exactly ten miles away from the north of Haidu, the beach in front is a dense jungle in the back, which is the best place to ambush soldiers.

Zhang Youde nodded, he was the commander of this ambush, all the dispatches were commanded by him, in addition to being a little proud, he also felt a heavy burden on his shoulders, he raised his whip: "All the soldiers except for some patrols in the bright place, the rest are all in ambush in the forest, all the artillery must be calibrated on the position of the sea, rely on trees to hide, and sprinkle a layer of rice stalks on it, and will personally inspect it later." ”

Mu Jianming nodded, with a hint of hesitation between his eyebrows: "Although we have 15,000 troops, but the recruits account for 10,000, I don't know if they are suitable for rushing to kill, once they see blood, it is inevitable that some people will be timid, if someone escapes, there may be a danger of rout, general, should we form a team of personal soldiers to supervise the battle in the rear, in case there is a change?" ”

 At this time, the Ming army did not have a professional supervision team, most of them were temporarily formed by the general's personal soldiers, Zhang Youde nodded: "This is done by Commander Li, his mountain battalion has little combat power on the beach, and the mountain battalion supervises the battle." ”

 Li Xiao arched his hand: "Obey." ”

Zhang Youde cheered up and said, "Hasn't Ying Tianfu escorted those Dutch prisoners of war to them?" If you don't prepare, I'm afraid that the night will be long and dreamy, so call a scout to urge it, and all kinds of honor guards must also be prepared, so that the enemy can't see the flaws. ”

After discussing for a while, before we knew it, we had arrived at the beach, and everyone dismounted together, and arranged where the battalions were to defend, where to ambush, where to place the artillery, and so on.

 After a period of busyness, it has come to the evening, in addition to the 5,000 soldiers patrolling the ground on the beach, nearly 10,000 Ming troops have been hidden in the mountains and forests not far away, all kinds of equipment and artillery have also been hidden, hundreds of traps have been dug on the beach, a layer of fine sand has been spread on the top, suspended below, and all kinds of iron nails, cone spikes and other things have been placed, although these things can not kill the enemy, but can make the enemy injured to a certain extent, temporarily lose combat ability on the battlefield.

As long as these red-haired ghosts dare to land, the general will definitely want them to go and not return, haha, order them to go down, camp here tonight, bury the pot and make food, replenish their physical strength well, work and rest on time at night, and the brothers replenish their physical strength, and tomorrow is the period of decisive battle. Zhang Youde's military boots rattled the fine sand under his feet, and the horsewhip in his hand moved forward a little, and he suddenly became proud.
