Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 318
The night gradually fell, and the streets of Batavia were extremely silent, except for the barking of dogs, there was no other sound.

In the Governor's Mansion, Cohen looked at an aborigine sitting in front of him with a stern look on his face.

This native is called Babur, and he is the local leader. When the Hongyi ruled Java, in order to better manage the Javanese, he specially recruited him.

"Babur, from today onwards, you will keep a close eye on all the Ming people in the entire city, and you will not let them leave the city.

Remember, don't let them out of town, not one. "Cohen's face was full of coldness.

Because he often deals with Hongyi, Babur can speak Hongyi's language.

Babur asked: "My lord governor, why is this?"

"Hmph, where did you come up with so much nonsense? Let you stare at you. I will leave here in a few days and go to the city of Zeelandia. After I leave, I will take a large number of warships with me.

These Ming people are always an unstable factor in Batavia, you must keep an eye on me. "Cohen said coldly.

Babur's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Your Excellency, do you mean to kill all these people?"

Babur put his hand down his neck and made a gesture of wiping his neck.

These smart people are very rich, Babur has been jealous for a long time, and he has long wanted to do something to these smart people.

Cohen glanced at Babur lightly, "I didn't mean that, these smart people are still of some use to me now.

As for what's in your heart, I know it even if you don't tell me.Let me tell you, these Ming people cannot die now.You people are so lazy, it's like killing you to work.

These smart people are still diligent, and working alone can keep up with three or four of you.Now Batavia still cannot do without these enlightened people. "

"Understood!" Babur said solemnly, patting his chest.

"Let me tell you, you must keep an eye on me for a while. The Ming people in the city must not be allowed to contact any suspicious people, and the Ming people in the city must not be allowed to leave the city." Cohen said again.

Babur nodded heavily, and said flatteringly: "I will definitely listen to what the adults say, and do this well."

……

After Zhao Wen finished his business in Ryukyu, he returned to Zeelandia on the treasure ship Yangwei.

Before Zhao Wen left, he left two hundred soldiers in Ryukyu.

The foundation of the bastion under construction has been completed, and it won't be long before the main part can be built.

After sailing at sea for several days, Zhao Wen returned to Zeelandia.

The city of Zeelandia has not yet been completed, and it is still a hot construction site.

It's just that the forts near the port have already been put into use.

After Zhao Wen left, Song Hu and Mao Chengzuo also led the soldiers to develop around.

Today's Zeelandia City is more than twice as large as before.

A few days after Zhao Wen returned to Zeelandia, Cohen set off with his fleet, heading for Zeelandia.

The distance from Batavia to the city of Zeelandia is not close, coupled with the fact that Cohen's fleet is huge, and the speed of armed merchant ships is not fast, so the overall speed of Cohen's fleet is not very fast.

The third-level sailing warship is larger than the ordinary Fuchuan, and the number of artillery on it is about fifty.

The double deck is covered with one after another cannon ports.

Cohen stood on the flagship of the fleet, looking at the sea ahead with a gloomy expression on his face.

"Hmph, daring to snatch the city of Zeelandia is simply looking for death. This time, you will all be killed."

Cohen held a monocular in his hand and looked forward from time to time.

At this time, Zhao Wen didn't know all this. Although Zhao Wen also sent people to patrol the sea, but now Cohen was still far away from Zeelandia City, and the two sides had no contact, so Zhao Wen didn't know the news.

Although Zhao Wen didn't know the news, Zhao Wen could guess it.

Today's Hongyi has the title of sea coachman, and his strength on the sea is extremely strong.

In this environment, Hong Yi became arrogant.

Especially now that they have suffered such a dull loss in Zhao Wen's hands, can they let it go?
Even if Putmans and the returnees told all about what they saw in Zeelandia, no one would believe it.

In addition, it has been some time since Zhao Wen left Zeelandia City, no matter what happens, Hongyi will be here soon.

In order to have a better chance of winning this battle, Zhao Wen went back to the warehouse again and rummaged through the warehouse.

The entire warehouse group is very large, and there are a large number of warehouses in it. It takes a lot of time to search through these warehouses.

So so far, Zhao Wen has not searched the entire warehouse.

Zhao Wen walked in the warehouse group, looking at the large and small warehouses in the warehouse group, his face was full of anticipation.

Eventually, Zhao Wen stopped outside a weird warehouse.

This warehouse is very short, half shorter than other warehouses.

Although it is short, it is very wide. The entire warehouse is more than two times wider than ordinary warehouses.

This warehouse is not only wide, but also long.

There is nothing on the gate and walls of this warehouse, empty, and there are no signs.

Zhao Wen looked at the warehouse with doubts on his face.

"What kind of weapons can be stored in such a warehouse?" Zhao Wen whispered a few words, then walked towards the warehouse.

After a few breaths, Zhao Wen violently destroyed the big lock and pushed open the door of the warehouse.

As soon as the door was pushed open, Zhao Wen was stunned by the scene inside.

I saw the 66-type 152mm cannon howitzer painted with green paint neatly placed inside.

In addition to these cannons, there are neatly placed shells next to these cannons.

Zhao Wen looked at the neatly placed Type 66 152mm cannon howitzers in the warehouse, his eyes glowed green.

"Type 66 152mm cannon howitzer, this is a good guy. These guys can be used as coastal defense guns. Although this gun can't be compared with the large-caliber coastal defense guns in World War I, but in this era, It's enough."

Zhao Wen walked to the front of a cannon, patted the cannon body, his face was full of excitement.

The Type 66 152mm cannon howitzer is a cannon imitated from Big Brother's D-20 152mm cannon howitzer. This gun is powerful, lethal, and easy to operate.

The maximum range is 7000 meters, the minimum range is 4000 meters, and the direct range is 800 meters.

The shells used are cartridge test shells, the weight of the shells used is 45 kg, and the killing radius is about 60 meters.

Zhao Wen looked at these cannons with excitement on his face.

In addition to these artillery and shells, Zhao Wen also found the artillery manual and daily maintenance manual.

With the addition of these two books, Zhao Wen can get started more quickly.

After putting away these two books, Zhao Wen carried the artillery out of the warehouse.

Today's soldiers are no strangers to the weapons that Zhao Wen carried out. After all, they have seen them a lot, so they are used to them.

This time, Zhao Wen didn't carry many cannons, only thirty pieces of artillery.

After these thirty artillery pieces were brought out by Zhao Wen, ten of them were installed in the forts of the ten coastal defense artillery near the port.

The remaining [-] gates were placed in the open space near the port. After the construction of the new Zeelandia city was completed, Zhao Wen would place these [-] gates on the city wall of Zeelandia city.

In the next few days, Zhao Wen taught these soldiers how to operate the cannon according to the contents of the manual.

The 66-type 152mm cannon howitzer is no better than others, and it is more difficult to operate than the 40-fire.

Now Zhao Wen doesn't expect these people to hit a hundred shots, even if they hit five out of ten shots, Zhao Wen can laugh from ear to ear.

For better training, Zhao Wen deliberately selected more than 2 talented soldiers from the nearly 100 people on the island.These soldiers were the artillery specially selected by Zhao Wen.

After these soldiers were selected, Zhao Wen taught them day and night.

After Zhao Wen's hard teaching, these soldiers are also learning quickly.

While studying, Zhao Wen kept asking them to shoot with live ammunition.

In just a few days, hundreds of shells were fired.

Consuming so many shells is not without achievements, at least these soldiers have mastered the basic use of artillery.

As time passed day by day, a huge fleet gradually appeared on the sea outside Zeelandia City.

Although Zheng Yiguan had attacked Zhao Wen with more than 800 ships before.

However, the quality of Zheng Yiguan's more than 800 ships is far inferior to that of Cohen's fleet.

In Zheng Yiguan's fleet, the largest ship is the Fuchuan.

Compared with the third-level sailing warship, the Fuchuan is smaller than 01:30.

The main function of Fuchuan is transportation, and the third-class sailing warships are produced for war.

When Cohen's fleet just appeared in the waters outside Zeelandia, Zhao Wen got the news.

Sitting in the big tent, Zhao Wen slapped the table in front of him and shouted loudly: "As expected, it's finally here.

How far is Hongyi from us now? "

Zhao Wen looked at a messenger in the tent.

The messenger replied: "My lord, we are only a hundred miles away."

Zhao Wen looked at the people in the big tent and shouted loudly: "Send the order, the construction of Zeelandia City will stop immediately, and all soldiers will immediately enter combat positions.

Let me lay the five treasure ships across the port, and point their sides at them.

At the same time, if the Hongyi did not launch a large-scale attack on us, let's not fight back aggressively, lest these Hongyi get scared and run away. "

Following Zhao Wen's order, the entire city of Zeelandia moved instantly, and the soldiers in the city came to their combat positions under Zhao Wen's command.

除过港口的十门岸防炮之外，赵文还在港口附近的空地上安排了数量庞大的107火箭炮、120迫击炮、40火和那二十门66式152毫米加农榴弹炮。

The ten coastal defense artillery turrets on the port are a fort like a bunker, and each turret has a 107 rocket launcher and a 66-type 152mm cannon howitzer.

If you are dealing with ordinary enemies, these ten forts are enough. After all, warships in this era are basically made of wood.

But now they are dealing with Hong Yi, who is the most powerful at sea. Although these artillery are powerful, there is always nothing wrong with being cautious.

Cohn was standing on the deck of the flagship, looking at the city of Zeelandia through a binoculars.

"I remember that there were not so many forts in the port, what happened to these Ming people, how did they build so many forts?

And near the port, why are there so many weird-looking things that look like cannons, but they don't quite look like them.

There are also these ships in the port, which are too big.I have never seen such a large ship. "Cohen looked at the artillery and the treasure ships in the port through the monocular, his face full of horror.

"The order continues, don't get close to the port, now that the port is very evil, let's not move.

Rest for one night first, and launch a tentative attack tomorrow. Cohen put away the binoculars and said solemnly to the orderly behind him.

When Cohen's order was conveyed, the entire fleet floated quietly on the sea, keeping a distance from the port of Zeelandia.

And now the port of Zeelandia City and the positions near the port have been deployed.

Zhao Wen led several personal guards and stood on the port. He held up the binoculars and kept observing the fleet on the sea.

　Thank you Earl Ike for your reward, and thank you for your strong support! ! !
