Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 486 Warning
In the waters of Batavia, the twelve sailing warships of the Netherlands quickly made preparations.

Although he knew that the Ming Fleet had iron-clad warships, the commander of the Batavian Netherlands Navy, Maiden, did not panic at all.

They think that these twelve warships can sweep the Asian navy, and there is absolutely no opponent.

Even if Daming has the so-called iron-clad warships, they are capable of fighting, so they should not be left behind.

Now Maiden still believes that there are no real iron-clad warships in the world.

Even if there is an ironclad warship, it is only armored, and the inside must still be a wooden hull.

One or two shells cannot penetrate the armor, and a hundred shells can definitely smash the so-called iron-clad warship.

With Maiden's order, twelve Dutch warships left the port and lined up in front of the harbor to meet the enemy.

Meden, the commander of the Netherlands Navy stationed in Batavia, picked up a single-tube telescope and looked in the direction of the Ming fleet.

The Ming Fleet has already appeared in the lens of the telescope. When he saw the size of the Ming Fleet clearly, the face of the confident Dutchman couldn't help but change. The number of the Ming Fleet far exceeded his expectations.

In front were twenty huge sailless warships, with only two huge chimneys emitting billowing black smoke.

Behind the battleship without sails, there are dozens of warships with sails closely following, and the scale is quite large.

How did Maiden know that these twenty ironclad warships were only one of the four Ming fleets, not all of them.

However, after all, Maiden has been at sea for many years and has experienced countless naval battles, so he soon calmed down.

He looked at the huge naval guns on the battleship Prince William he was on, and suddenly became confident again.

The Dutch naval gun was the most advanced naval gun at that time. Not only was it powerful, but its rate of fire was also significantly higher than that of ordinary national naval guns.

"Come here, send a signal to the Ming fleet, tell them to stop advancing or face the consequences, and at the same time order all warships to load their shells and prepare for battle. Once the Ming fleet refuses to listen to dissuasion and approaches Batavia, they will fire immediately."

"Yes"

With Maiden's order, the battleship signalmen on the Batavia side immediately sent out a signal flag.

"This is the Batavia waters of the Netherlands. Please stop the foreign fleets and withdraw from our waters immediately, or you will bear the consequences."

In the whole world, only Daming has a walkie-talkie, which can directly command operations or report intelligence.

Of course the Dutch didn't. They used semaphore to command operations. Once encountering heavy fog, the fleet immediately became blind.

When commanding operations, it is also easy for the enemy to see the command signal.

But Ming Dynasty is completely different. Zhu Youjian equips all over [-] households with walkie-talkies.

In addition, all intelligence agencies, whether they are officials or soldiers, have walkie-talkies, which is also for the timely delivery of information.

Just like Zhang Huangyan's bombardment of the Batavia coastal artillery, Li Dingguo led the Longqi Special Forces to land on the battle report.

Whether it is the army commander Qi Jiguang, the naval commander Zheng Chenggong or the Ming emperor Zhu Youjian, all of them have received battle reports.

After the observation post of the Ming Fleet saw the Dutch semaphore warning, it immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and reported to the governor Zheng Chenggong:

"Report to Your Majesty and the Commander. The Dutch side has issued a semaphore warning, saying that this is the Batavia Sea area. Please leave the Ming Fleet, or you will bear the consequences."

Hearing the report from the observation post, Zheng Chenggong asked Zhu Youjian for instructions:

"Your Majesty, look..."

Zhu Youjian smiled coldly:
"This is the sea area of ​​Java, our vassal state of Ming Dynasty. The Dutch have no right to let us leave. Once we enter the range of our naval guns, we will fire immediately to show our Ming Dynasty's national prestige."

Zheng Chenggong cupped his hands and replied:
"Abiding by the order, don't worry, Your Majesty, how can little Batavia stop my Great Tomorrow Army."

Zhu Youjian nodded, remembering the sufferings suffered by the Chinese here in history, he said again:

"No matter who they are, as long as they dare to act like a chariot, they will all be wiped out on the spot. In order to frighten other countries, they can wipe out their families."

"According to the purpose"

After receiving the decree, Zheng Chenggong picked up the walkie-talkie:

"I am Zheng Chenggong. The captains listened to the orders and told the Dutch people that this is the sea area of ​​our Ming Dynasty's vassal state. Tell them to get out immediately, or they will all be wiped out. In addition, once they enter the range of the naval guns, they will directly fire. Don't disappoint the Holy Majesty! "

All the captains shouted in unison:
"Decree"

After Zheng Chenggong issued the order, the Ming Fleet immediately issued a semaphore to the Dutch:
"This is the sea area of ​​my dependent country. I warn the colonists to leave immediately, or you will all be buried in the belly of fish."

The Ming Fleet uses walkie-talkies for its own communications, and of course there are signal flags.

When the Dutch soldiers saw the signal flag played by Ming, they were speechless, not knowing how to respond, and immediately reported to Maiden:

"Report sir, Ming Jun said..."

When the soldier said this, he was at a loss for words for a while, and didn't know how to report.

Maiden was already in a bad mood. Seeing that the soldier was not speaking well, he glared and scolded directly:
"Speak when you have something to say, fart when you have something to say, and be clean."

The commander spoke so rudely that the soldiers didn't care:

"Report, the Ming army issued a semaphore, saying that this is the territorial waters of the Ming vassal state, telling the Netherlands to leave, not all of them are going to feed the fish..."

"puff……"

"Cough cough..."

Maiden picked up a cup of coffee and just took a sip. After hearing the soldier's report, he spit out all his anger.

The unlucky Dutch soldier was scolded by Maiden just now, and now he was sprayed with coffee all over his face.

Although he scolded Maiden in his heart, he still stood there stiffly and didn't dare to say a word.

He knew that the commander of the Netherlands stationed in Batavia was not easy to mess with, so he whipped him at every turn.

Now Batavia's caning was proposed by him, but Fan Diemen did not expect that he would accept it.

Maiden took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth. He looked up and found the soldier in a panic.

He angrily threw the handkerchief he had just used into the soldier's face.

"Wipe it clean and continue to observe. If the Ming fleet gets closer to Batavia, directly order to fire a warning."

"Yes"

The soldier agreed, reached out and grabbed the handkerchief that was about to fall to the ground, turned around and left.

It wasn't until he walked out that he wiped his face off with coffee, then threw his handkerchief into the sea, and cursed indiscriminately:
"Damn Meiden, you are too bullying, be careful of Daming's cannonballs to kill you..."

He could only curse a few words in secret. If Maiden knew about it, he would probably beat him to death with a whip.

After the messenger left, Maiden said to the two captains beside him:
"Go up to the deck and have a look."

The three walked onto the deck of the Prince William with five guards.

Prince William is also a famous warship, with a length of 55 meters and a width of 14 meters, with double decks and 82 naval guns.

The Prince William is the largest and strongest warship in the Netherlands, and also the flagship of the Netherlands Navy in Batavia. It has been rampant in the Asian waters for many years without a single defeat.

Maiden and his party stepped onto the deck and raised their binoculars to look at the Ming Fleet again.

At this time, the battleship in front of the Ming Fleet was already about three kilometers away from Batavia.

The maximum range of the guns of the Dutch battleships is basically about three kilometers.

In fact, the range that can really effectively kill the opponent's warship is only half of what is said, which is more than 1000 meters.
