333. Your use is mainly ...... [1/2]
The pirate captain was actually a Westerner, and he knew the situation in the West better than Li Huamei, and he said seriously: "The Dutch have only risen in recent years, and they have traveled all the way from the West to the Great Meng Country, but they were surprised to find that they were late...... The good territory has been divided between Spain and Portugal, and you can't buy anything you want......"
When Yi Yun heard this, he felt funny, he knew a little bit about this when he was playing "Age of Discovery", the Dutch at that time were very tragic, although they were the first power on the sea, but there were few ports in the world, because the good territory had been divided between Spain and the Portuguese. 1 - As a result, if they wanted to buy Chinese silk and lotus leaves, they had to buy them from the Portuguese, which was three to four times more expensive than buying them directly from the Chinese.
How could the Dutch rest in this situation? The result was ...... Beat!
The pirate captain continued: "The Dutch fought several battles with the Portuguese in the Strait of Malacca, and the Portuguese vomited blood, and surrendered the Strait of Malacca to the Dutch, who, after taking control of the Strait of Malacca, robbed the merchant ships of various countries even more arrogantly, and fought against the Spanish and Portugal without any defense. I dare say that the Dutch are now the most powerful of the Western nations. ”
After hearing this, Yi Yun couldn't help but meditate in his heart: It seems that the Dutch are really difficult to deal with......
Chen Yuanyuan was also silent, she found that the news of these pirates was really very well-informed, more than the spies of Sanjiang Pavilion paid their lives to find out more information, she was depressed and kept silent.
"Captains, if you were to go to war with the Dutch, what would you choose?" asked Ivan.
Several captains shook their heads together: "We can't do it, we didn't dare to think about it." ”
"That'...... How many troops do you think it will take to win against the Dutch?"
Several captains looked at each other again, shook their heads, and said: "Only more than a hundred warships and more than 10,000 troops can fight head-on with the Dutch, otherwise they will definitely be defeated." ”
"I'm dizzy...... That's an exaggeration, isn't it? "Iyun is a little unconvinced.
"Well...... Just try it and you'll find out!" The pirate who had suspected that Yi Yun was the official government glanced at him and said with a smile: "There are some things that you will know if you try them." ”
After talking to the five pirate captains, Yi Yun and Li Huamei returned to the ship, although they got some information, but this information was of little use to them for the time being, but only made them more aware of the evil and power of the Dutch. With the strength of the two of them now, it is impossible to take the initiative to make trouble with the Dutch, so they can only wait quietly for the arrival of the emperor's fleet.
That night, Yi Yun returned to the room to rest, Chen Yuanyuan had been sleeping with him recently, so when he returned to the room, he saw Chen Yuanyuan sitting sullenly on the bed, his mouth pouting.
"Why are you so unhappy?" said Iyunqi.
Chen Yuanyuan flattened his mouth and said, "Xianggong, what do you think I am of the greatest use to you?"
Yi Yun tilted his head, thinking about this question with bad intentions, Chen Yuanyuan sighed: "My greatest use for you should be to spy on information...... Outcome...... I found that I couldn't use anything at all this time, the information was in the far sea, and I didn't know as much as these pirates...... You must think I'm a useless woman. ”
She didn't wait for Yi Yun to speak, and said: "There are so many women around you, once the useless women will be forgotten by you outside the Nine Nights, I don't want to do this! No, I have to think of building the rudder of Sanjiang Pavilion to the sea." ”
"No, do you really think your biggest use is to spy on intelligence?" ...,
"Isn't it?" Chen Yuanyuan said depressedly.
"Of course not!" Yi Yun said with a serious face and extremely sincerely: "You are of the greatest use to the prime minister and me...... Hey hey ......"
"Don't sell it! Say it quickly!" Chen Yuanyuan was anxious.
"Wowhaha, your greatest use for me is to use it for ooxx!" Yi Yunwei laughed, and suddenly threw Chen Yuanyuan down on the bed, pressed under him, and reached out to untie his belt.
"Wow, what are you going to do?" Chen Yuanyuan was shocked.
"You forgot, you promised me during the day, you want to play the game of raping a good woman with me......" Yi Yun smiled evilly: "This is your greatest use, what kind of weak violence such as spying on intelligence, forget about it." ”
"You...... You scoundrel!" Chen Yuanyuan struggled.
Yi Yun untied her belt, tied her hands behind her back, and said with a wicked smile: "Yes, a little struggle and resistance is more decent, wahahaha." ”
"Nasty!"
"Okay, keep struggling, it would be perfect if you could cry twice!" Yi Yun smiled fiercely as he dragged Chen Yuanyuan into the quilt, and then, eighteen appearances were staged in turn......
Three days later, Zhu Qingqing's fleet finally arrived. Her fleet was slow, so it came three days later than Yiyun's ship, and as soon as the huge fleet appeared outside Quanzhou, it immediately startled the pirates. Especially when they saw the dragon boats, many of the pirates almost petrified. Although they were lawless, they still had a sense of reverence for the emperor, and when they saw the emperor coming, the pirates knew that the nearby sea would soon be blocked, and although their ships would not be discovered when they hid in the bay, they would be intercepted as soon as they sailed out, which was not something the pirates liked, and they immediately rushed out of the bay before the emperor's fleet blocked the sea.
The bay, which was crowded with ships a few days ago, is now left with two boats of Yi Yun and Li Huamei. The pirate bazaar, which was lively and jubilant a few days ago, is now empty, and only some miscellaneous items remain, indicating that there were once people gathered here.
The first thing he did after he arrived was to renovate the wharf, and the dilapidated Quanzhou wharf was immediately renovated, and it took less than two or three days to get the whole wharf in order. A large number of materials were transported from the Quanzhou oasis for the use of the imperial driver, and the local magistrate inherited all kinds of luxury goods, so that Zhu Qingqing enjoyed a comfortable life.
Zhu Qingqing came out of Beijing to enjoy the mountains and rivers, so he was not in a hurry at all, and the eunuchs accompanied the emperor to mess around, and they were not in a hurry, but the Donglin Party was good for the country and the people, and when they arrived at the place, they immediately began to rectify the armaments, and asked the local magistrates to send information, intending to use troops against the Dutch on the Penghu Islands.
The fleet was fully supplied, ammunition, weapons, and food were all filled with the cabins, and veteran sailors who were familiar with the local hydrology were invited to be guides, which looked quite good.
Yi Yun actually hoped that Zhu Qingqing Qingqing could win easily, thinking of what the five pirate captains said, his heart felt heavy again, and he wanted to persuade Zhu Qingqing Qingqing not to send troops hastily, but after a short time of getting along, he knew that Zhu Qingqing Qingqing was a strange person who did not listen to persuasion, and he would persuade her that she might be hit with a board in her ass, and he would not do it.
A few days later, Zhu Qingqing's fleet had been prepared, and a rumbling drum sounded on the Quanzhou wharf, and then, twenty Dafu ships escorted the royal No. 1 dragon boat, slowly sailed out of the harbor, and set off towards the Penghu Islands across the strait.
Waiting for this huge fleet to disappear into the sea to the east, Yi Yun and Li Huamei's battleships slowly turned out of the bay and followed behind......
"Do you think Zhu Qingqing Qingqing can win this battle?" Yi Yun stood on the deck, looking at Zhu Qingqing's fleet from a distance with the "Far Looking" skill, and couldn't help but ask Li Huamei next to him. ...,
"Difficult!" Li Huamei shook her head and said: "This emperor is also blind enough, and he doesn't carefully investigate the enemy's intelligence, and he doesn't even know which island the enemy's castle is built on in the Penghu Islands, so he hastily dispatched troops...... Is there such a thing as a naval battle?"
"Despise it!" Yi Yun spread his hands and said: "The Dutch only have six galleons and 1,500 soldiers, such a force, Zhu Qingqing and the people of the Donglin Party can't see it, and they think that they can be killed by stretching out their little fingers." ”
In history, there are many examples of failure because of underestimating the enemy, such as Guan Yun's carelessness in Jingzhou...... When everyone sees these stories of failure because of the negligence of the enemy, they will laugh at the generals who underestimate the enemy, but when the matter falls on their heads, they see that they are strong and strong, but the other party is sparsely manned, and it is inevitable that they will also have the idea of underestimating the enemy, which is human nature and cannot be avoided.
Zhu Qingqing is greedy and playful, ignores state affairs, the eunuch party only knows how to please the monarch, and has no opinions of his own at all, while the Donglin party is arrogant, thinking that the heavenly kingdom is invincible, and other countries are not worth mentioning.
Such a combination is really a group of dead countries. There is a good saying, if you are not afraid of god-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like teammates, when all the players in a team are pigs...... Ahem! That's the only way to hope for the other team!
Yi Yun suddenly understood a truth, why did Soft Muxing want to build a new big Meng country, because...... There are pigs everywhere!
After leaving Quanzhou, the fleet sailed southeastward, spending several days and more than 200 nautical miles, and finally the shadow of the island began to appear in front of it.
Yi Yun looked at it and saw a large number of islands connected together, some large and some small, high and low, some islands were so small that only one person could stand on them, to put it bluntly, it was more like a reef, and some islands were huge, and they couldn't see the edge at a glance, and there were still green trees on it, and it was obvious that the cork on the island had been pulled up.
Li Huamei pointed to these islands and introduced them one by one: "Look at that, that is Mudou Island, the one in the south is Guoyu, and the big island in the south is called Jibei Island, which is Gupo Island, Anvil Island, Xiaomenyu Island, ......."
Iwan Khan: "Stop! Who remembers all this nonsense? Thanks to your good memory, you just need to tell me which island the Dutch are on." ”
Li Huamei stretched out her hand and pointed to the south, the largest island, the largest island, with no border in sight, and said, "That's Magong Island...... The largest island in the Penghu archipelago, the Dutch castle, was built on Magong Island. ”
