Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 607 Four Nations Alliance
When Zhu Youjian first crossed over, he not only raised his sword to kill corrupt officials and rebels, but also charged with his sword when fighting against the so-called million-dollar army in the defense of the capital.

At that time, there was no way, and the number of troops under his command was limited. Now it is completely different. Not only are there many fierce generals, but also the firearms are more advanced than those in the West. How could he participate in the war in person.

Zhu Youjian got off his horse and walked to the front of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty Navy. When the soldiers saw the emperor coming, they immediately clenched their swords in their left hands and put their fists on their chests.

This is the Ming Dynasty military salute:

"See Your Majesty." Zhu Youjian waved to the soldiers:
"Libi."

"Ming officers and soldiers, Luzon is our Daming vassal state, and it is only right and proper for Ming to take back Luzon from the Western bandits.

Now the western colonists are desperate and want to seize Luzon and the South China Sea and other places from Ming Dynasty again. Do you agree? "

The generals of the navy raised their sabers high and shouted in unison:

"I don't want to!"

"I don't want to!"

"We will make the western thieves never come back again."

Zhu Youjian clenched his fists and raised high:

"Yes, absolutely not. Anyone who offends my Ming Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away!"

"Soldiers, you are all doing well. I solemnly promise here today that as long as you can defeat the thieves this time, all participants will be promoted to a higher level based on your performance, and there will be rewards of dragon coins. When we When you come back victorious, you are all my Ming heroes."

Zhu Youjian's encouragement boosted the morale of Ming soldiers even higher.

Their treatment is very good, and the military salary can be said to be the highest in all dynasties. Because of the advanced firearms, the casualties of soldiers are minimized during the war.

Now after hearing that the battle was won, not only will they be rewarded, but they will also be promoted. The morale of the Ming army is even higher. They can't wait to rush to the colonial warship and strangle these robbers alive.

Zheng Chenggong and Shi Lang, who were standing beside Zhu Youjian, also pulled out their sabers and shouted:

"The mighty Ming army"

"The mighty Ming army"

……

Their words instantly detonated the audience, and all the soldiers shouted the mighty voice of the Ming army, and rushed straight into the sky.

……

Zhu Youjian was very satisfied with the morale of the Ming Navy, turned around and said to Zheng Chenggong and Shi Lang beside him:

"Order the soldiers to board the ship quickly."

"According to the purpose"

Zheng Chenggong took the order and immediately said to the messenger around him:

"By the command of the governor, the officers and men will board the ship immediately and take their positions."

"Yes"

……

"Shi Lang, wait a moment. I'll go to the Dayu to have a look, and then go to the Hongwu."

"According to the purpose"

When Zhu Youjian went to the Dayu battleship, he asked Shi Lang to wait for a while.

Although Shi Lang didn't know what His Majesty was going to do, he didn't dare to ask more, so he had to wait obediently on the Ma Wharf.

Boarding the Dayu, Zhu Youjian put away the [-] naval guns on the battleship, and installed the newly exchanged cannons on the Dayu.

Forty cannons were used up in the coastal fort, and there are 160 cannons left. Zhu Youjian plans to install [-] more cannons for Dayu and Hongwu, and the rest will be installed on the flagships of each fleet.

After Zhu Youjian handed over the manual to Zheng Chenggong, he left the Dayu, returned to the shore and boarded the Hongwu with Shi Lang, and also replaced [-] of the Hongwu's naval guns.

After replacing some of the naval guns, Zhu Youjian returned to the Duhu Mansion. In order to let Zheng Chenggong let go of his hands and feet, he did not plan to take command of the battleship this time, and handed over the command power to Zheng Chenggong.

In order to completely destroy the combined fleets of the Netherlands and Spain, after the emperor left, Zheng Chenggong requisitioned another [-] small merchant ships.

Each merchant ship was filled with dead grass, dry wood, sulfur and a small amount of gunpowder. In addition, each merchant ship was equipped with a dozen sailors. These merchant ships were prepared by Zheng Chenggong for the fire attack.

Zheng Chenggong's request to the sailors was to quietly drive the merchant ship from the periphery to the upperwind of the United Fleet, and once the attack order was received, immediately drive the merchant ship downwind.

When approaching the warships of the United Fleet, they ignited and put on fuel, and then jumped into the sea to escape. Don't worry about safety issues. Zheng Chenggong will arrange ships to rescue them.

After the arson ship was arranged, Zheng Chenggong grabbed the walkie-talkie and called Shi Lang:
"Shi Lang, this commander leads fifteen warships to face the enemy head-on. You lead the remaining ironclad warships to detour from the other three directions of the United Fleet. Once you find the United Fleet on fire, immediately attack the United Fleet."

"Yes, governor, don't worry, Shi Lang has long wanted to fight a quick battle, and will definitely follow your instructions to attack the United Netherlands and Spain Fleet."

Eighty nautical miles away from Luzon, there was a sea of ​​sails waving at this time, and there were sailing warships stretching as far as the eye could see. There were as many as [-] or [-] warships, and the warships were coming towards Luzon.

In fact, Ming's information is not very accurate. The joint fleet is not limited to the warships of Spain and the Netherlands, but also includes the warships of Portugal and England.

I am more prepared to say that it should be the combined fleet of the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, and England.

Portugal was expelled from Macau by Ming, but they still have two colonies in India. After hearing that Ming expelled the Netherlands and the Spaniards from Batavia and Manila, the Portuguese also felt a great threat.

They were worried that Ming would attack their colonies in India next. In order to eliminate the threat of Ming to them in India, and to get a share of the plundering of the Straits of Malacca, the Portuguese resolutely joined the United Nations after receiving the invitation from the Netherlands. fleet.

England is still a little brother at this time, and its strength is still very weak among the Western powers. They were really strong, starting from the first industrial revolution, and the time should be after 1765.

Asian colonies are very important to Western colonists. The daily habits of Westerners have resulted in a huge demand for spices.

The area that is rich in spices is the East Indies, also known as the Spice Islands, which is the area designated by Ming Dynasty as the South China Sea Province.

The huge demand for spices in Europe has generated huge profits for spices. Even if large ships are used to transport spices to Europe non-stop, the supply is still in short supply.

It can be said that spices were the most profitable business among the resources plundered by the colonists besides gold and silver mines, and it was also the source of their huge profits.

The so-called cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents. Zhu Youjian's practice of unifying Southeast Asia is tantamount to depriving the colonists of their greatest wealth.

Therefore, in order to deal with Ming Dynasty, the four countries hit it off. If they can defeat the Ming Navy this time, the colonists will take advantage of the trend to carve up the southeast coast of Ming Dynasty. This is a great temptation.

The four countries assembled a hundred sailing warships, and another seventy to eighty armed merchant ships, which they thought would be enough to deal with Ming's navies in Luzon and Batavia.

However, while they were uniting, there were also some internal struggles, that is, the Spanish fleet major Garcelo and the Dutch colonel Cruy, both of them wanted to be the commander-in-chief of the joint fleet.

The Netherlands dispatched the most warships this time. Of course, Cruy thought he should be the commander, but the Spaniards believed that they had summoned the four countries and should be the commander-in-chief.
