Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 908 Fire!fire

There are at least [-] warships standing on the sea in the distance. The Dutch East India Company is different from Ming Dynasty in that it pays special attention to the quality of warships rather than the quantity.

They strictly divided battleships into first-tier, second-tier, and third-tier battleships according to the number of deck layers and the number of artillery pieces. The entire East India Company had about [-] ships that could reach the battleship level.

Of course, the total number of warships belonging to the Dutch East India Company is definitely more than this number. There are not a few other small and medium-sized warships classified as cruisers and destroyers, as well as numerous supply ships and troop carriers.

The other warships were probably distributed in Levia, North and South Merika and did not have time to come to meet them. Moreover, this fleet is backed by Luzon Island, so there is no need for luggage like Ming's fleet, and troop carriers account for a quarter of it. .

It's just that what Lancelot didn't know was that Daming had also completed the transition from quantity to quality, and the quantity not only did not decrease, but also increased with the support of strong national power.

In Liu Hongjian's view, no matter how many artillery pieces there are in the Netherlands, the hull is still made of wood, and the artillery is still solid, which is no longer in the same order of magnitude.

"My lord, should we give him a shot and say hello?" Bu Jiageng, the first officer of the Invincible, walked quietly behind Liu Hongjian and asked.

Bu Jiageng has always been proud of being the chief mate of the first full-cover ironclad ship of the Ming Dynasty, so much so that he always felt that his family's ancestral grave had good geomantic omen and was emitting green smoke.

Although Bu Jiageng is the first officer, his status is comparable to the captains of other main warships. After all, the flagship is the center of the fleet, and all combat orders come from the flagship.

"Knitting wool! Our Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette, how can we fire first?" Liu Hongjian put down his binoculars and glanced at Bu Jiageng. He saw a small warship coming from the Dutch fleet.

Bu Jiageng even claimed it was, and said in his heart that before, didn't he just fire the gun and install the X first, why blame us this time?

A rustling sound came from the walkie-talkie on the shoulder: "My lord, are you there?"

"Old Qi, I'm here, what's going on up front?" Liu Hongjian pressed the button on the walkie-talkie.

"Your Majesty, the Dutch are asking for peace talks, should they be directly sunk or not?"

"Old Qi, our Great Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette. We must first be courteous before soldiers understand, and we must not lose the demeanor of a great country." Liu Hongjian began to tirelessly lecture again.

"In this way, since we are too far away, I won't waste any time. Just turn on the walkie-talkie and I'll listen to what they have to say."

"Yes, my lord."

After a while, there seemed to be a greeting voice from the intercom. It should be that the Dutch boarded Qi Yuangong's warship.

After exchanging nonsense for a while, Qi Yuangong motioned to the visitor to explain his purpose. The Dutch also like to go straight, and said immediately after hearing the words:

"General Qi, you should know that war is the most stupid thing. War makes us lose our loved ones and everything. Lord Lancelot thinks this is a meaningless war. He believes that peace should be sought between the Netherlands and Ming Dynasty. Way.

For this reason, Lord Lancelot decided that as long as your lord orders the withdrawal of troops, Ming's merchant ships will be able to sail unimpeded in Nanyang without paying any taxes. "

"Old Qi? Let the interpreter tell him that the king doesn't like wars either. If the Dutch can leave Nanyang, Dutch merchant ships can travel freely in Nanyang without paying any taxes." Liu Hongjian said into the intercom .

Does Liu Hongjian like peace?The answer is yes, but the premise is that Nanyang must be in the hands of Daming.

And he just likes to make peace with people who are friendly to Ming Dynasty. As for the Dutch, hehe, what he said naturally counts, and the revenge of the thousands of sailors who died has not yet been avenged.

The intelligence system of the Dutch should not be bad either. He guessed that the people of the East India Company must have known the power of the Daming artillery.

It is also for this reason that the Dutch have repeatedly asked for peace talks. Although the chances are not high, what if?What if the Dutch are really willing to withdraw from Nanyang?
That is, I am the knife and you are the fish, and there is no excuse for the crime if you want to impose it. It will be easy to punish the Dutchman.

However, the firm words of the Dutchman told Liu Hongjian that he was thinking of farting!
"This is completely impossible. The Netherlands has ruled Nanyang for more than [-] years. This is the land of the Dutch. General, our Netherlands is not afraid of Ming Dynasty. We hope for peace, but we are not afraid of war.

We have a vast colony, a powerful fleet, and inexhaustible wealth, you should think about it. "

The voice of the walkie-talkie on Qi Yuangong's shoulder really startled the Dutchman, but he immediately calmed down.

"How many people are there in the Netherlands and how big is the area? Don't you have a clue?
You use artillery to spread the so-called gospel of God, you use massacres to repay the enthusiasm of the aborigines, and you have to erect a memorial archway even if you are a bastard.

This king has seen many shameless countries, but your country Holland is the most shameless,
It's as if I'm afraid of you, so let's fight! "Liu Hongjian laughed contemptuously when he heard the words.

"Yes, general, have you ever thought that whether the Ming Dynasty wins or the Netherlands wins this battle, our fleet will suffer heavy losses, and other countries in Europa will come from behind. They are very happy to see the war between us.

According to the proverb in your country, this means that the loved ones suffer, and the enemies are happy. "

Lancelot is indeed very afraid of Ming's artillery, although he still firmly believes that the warships of the Netherlands are the most advanced warships in the world.

But I have to say that one of the most important reasons why I don't want to fight with Daming is that I am worried that the loss of the navy will eventually cause the Netherlands to lose its status as the sea supremacy.

Decades ago, the Spanish Armada was damaged too quickly due to uninterrupted wars, so it was too late to make up for it. Therefore, the Marquis Lancelot discussed with Cohen and decided to exempt the Ming merchant ship from taxes without consulting the board of directors.

It's just that the two of them still didn't know Liu Hung-chien. He had little ambition but a big appetite.

"Intuition? Why do you red-haired ghosts like my Daming proverbs? Repaying loved ones is painful, and enemies are quick. I have enmity with you, and it will only be fun to kill your king.

Moreover, whoever said that Ming's fleet would suffer heavy losses in a war with you, I'm afraid you think too highly of those wooden ships behind you! "

As for the navies of other countries in Europe, Liu Hongjian hadn't thought about it, but after all, Daming was closer to Nanyang. If you really dare to covet it, then come, and Daming will take it all!
"But……"

"Whether you want to fight or not, every fight is so ink-stained, first officer, why are you still standing there, aim at that little broken ship, and give him a hard shot!"

Liu Hongjian understood that it was an unrealistic dream for the Dutch to voluntarily withdraw from Nanyang, so he didn't bother to bother.

"But my lord, Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette. You just taught your subordinates to be courteous first and then soldiers. If we fire guns first..." Bu Jiageng suddenly remembered what Liu Hongjian said just now, which made him hesitate.

"Salt your N's ​​ball, shoot me quickly! Fire!" Liu Hongjian shouted angrily towards Bu Jiageng, who had a candied chestnut on his head.

"Yes, yes, fire! Fire!" Bu Jiageng was reprimanded again, and roared depressedly at the main gun of the flagship, as if he wanted to vent his depression through artillery fire.

boom--

In just a moment, the main guns on the bow of the flagship Invincible fired.
