Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 754 The Great Ming Fleet goes to Nanyang, and everything illuminated by the sun and the moon is Mingtu!
"Your Excellency, you are not afraid of these Francines."

"What are you afraid of? How many people can they recruit together? Just give them a boat or two to lead the way. If they have other thoughts, they can sink them directly. Are you afraid they won't make trouble?"

Qian Longxi is full of confidence, and he is not a fool, how could he not know that people who are not of our race will have different hearts?
As for the barbarians who adore Daming, to put it bluntly, all the Westerners in Nanyang basically admire Daming, but this does not mean that these shameless and capricious barbarians will always serve Daming.

To deal with these Western barbarians who only work for money, just hang a few radishes in front of them, and they will move forward very hard.

Frans quickly found 300 people for Qian Longxi, and they were professional mercenaries with their own weapons. They even had five small cannons.

These 300 people were arranged by Qian Longxi on a boat, while Frans was brought by Qian Longxi's side. Qian Longxi still had some questions to ask.

"The Dutch colonized Batavia. Their colonies spread across Java, Sumatra, and the Spice Islands. They also had colonies in Borneo."

Listening to Frans' description, Qian Longxi also had a rough judgment in his heart, and then he invited Han Yaowei to discuss the battle with him.

Han Yaowei looked at the map and analyzed: "Java and Sumatra can be said to be the strongholds of the Dutch. They control the channel to India here. If we want to fight, we must first take down these two places."

"Whether it's the Spice Islands or Borneo, we can clean up slowly after we clean up Java and Sumatra."

Qian Longxi nodded: "This old man also thinks the same way. We can't let them escape. Java and Sumatra must be fought first."

Han Yaowei clicked on the map: "The fleet will first go to Balimpan, drop off a town of soldiers, and then go to Batavia, without giving them time to react."

Qian Longxi nodded: "It's possible. I'm not good at commanding, so I'll leave it to General Han."

Qian Longxi knew very well that the [-] new troops would return to the south of the Yangtze River after cleaning Nanyang. As for the maintenance of these places in Nanyang, those large companies and groups were responsible for them. They were responsible for developing the market and supporting the local aborigines.

Of course, in order to maintain a certain degree of force, they can recruit some retired veterans to act as mercenaries in the local area. This is actually the colonial method of the Taixi people, but Ming Dynasty does not care about colonization.

"Send the order, the fleet is advancing at full speed, and the target is Palembang." Qian Longxi waved his hand, and at the age of 52, he still seemed full of pride and admiration.

While the fleet of the Daming Nanyang Development Company was heading towards Palembang in Sumatra, the Dutch on Sumatra and Java were arguing fiercely.

"We can't stay here any longer, we have to leave quickly, Mingren won't let us go easily!"

"But the Ming people have accepted our peace agreement. They have no interest in Nanyang. As long as we don't provoke them, they will not attack us."

"But we have already offended that huge and ancient dynasty, haven't we? Obviously, someone reminded us not to offend that dynasty easily. Our power in Nanyang and India is not enough to fight against the Ming people. Even the entire Nepalese Delan can't even fight against that huge dynasty, why do you want to provoke this monster?"

"Now that something goes wrong, it's our fault. When the council discussed whether to attack the Ming people's merchant ships, didn't you see any objection?"

"The Ming people's navigation skills have become more and more proficient. If we don't stop them and let them go to India, what advantage do we have and how can we make money?"

"But what if the Ming people's navigation technology can reach India? We can still transport the Ming people's silk, tea, and porcelain back to the Netherlands. We have no direct conflict of interest with the Ming people!"

"No, no, dear Pan, we can't let the Ming people continue to develop. Right now they are still paddling in this small pond in Nanyang, but in the future, if they go to India, to America, to Africa, then we still have to How to stop them?"

"So you chose to attack Ming people's merchant ships, and the result? Ming people's warship technology is far beyond our imagination! Damn it, how can a warship made of steel float on the sea and move forward at such a fast speed? ?”

"This is just a mistake. At least we already know Mingren's sea power, and we will have a way to deal with it."

"What if Mingren doesn't give us time to react?"

Hearing this, the other congressmen laughed: "Don't worry, Ming people don't like us, we just need to be more careful in the future."

"Rather than discussing when the Ming people will come over, we should discuss how to suppress those damned natives! They dare to resist us to bring them civilization and freedom, damn it!"

This issue has obviously been approved by the congressmen. Yes, a group of ignorant and savage natives actually reject the civilization and freedom brought by the Dutch. Aren't they afraid of death?
This is the case with the Dutch, the Francois, and even today’s Thai and Western countries. They cut through the waves in the age of great exploration, and looked at everything in the world with arrogance, Africa, America, India, Southeast Asia, so many places, They are considered ignorant and uncivilized.

As a member of the civilized world, as the most advanced part of the world, the Thai and Western countries are so proud and do whatever they want. They forcibly occupy other people's homes, forcibly enslave and rule others, and any opposition will lead to bloody and brutal suppression. This euphemism is called bringing civilization.

Do the people of Africa, America, India, and Southeast Asia need civilizations that are so barbaric?
The Thai and Western countries don't care.

However, in this world, not only their Western lands have civilization and culture, but also the ancient East. Civilizations and cultures are even earlier than them, spreading in Nanyang, Western Regions and other places early.

Facing the behemoths in the East, these Thai and Western countries restrained their barbarism and cruelty, and made themselves polite. They faced Daming with smiles and etiquette, and they did not hesitate to add all the beautiful words in the world to Daming. As for who is grinning and using muskets and cannons to suppress the natives and bullying those uncivilized people as they please, does it have anything to do with them?

In the face of powerful civilizations, they are naturally extremely polite, but in the face of weak people, they don't mind bullying and oppressing them.

But right now, the proud Netherlander, the majestic sea coachman, will face punishment from Ming Dynasty.

It was another sunny day, the calm sea surface was calm, and the cool breeze passing by brought the breath of the sea. The huge Ming Fleet sailed towards Palingpan at full speed.

Right now the fleet can already see the harbor in the distance, and the fleet is about to start preparing.

"Every ship is ready to act according to plan A."

As the order was issued, the ships began to prepare intensively. The cannons were pushed into the gun positions, and the gunpowder and shells were transported in place. It's time to go ashore.

At this time, Balimpan hadn't realized the arrival of the Daming Navy. Several small indigenous fishing boats were fishing in the offshore area. Knowing that there were waves coming from a distance, the people on the small fishing boats were a little unsteady.

what happened?
It is reasonable to say that there will be no such storms in such a fine weather today?

The doubtful natives looked up into the distance, and then they stood on the boat in astonishment. They saw the huge fleet coming from a distance, and those huge warships that looked like tall buildings were heading towards Palembang Come on, these warships are so huge and there are so many.

Looking around, I can't see the end or the edge at a glance, as if the entire line of sight is filled with these huge warships, the fleet covering the sky and covering the sea, rushing with infinite power.

The natives were stunned, where did this large fleet come from?
The waves on the sea were still churning, and the aborigines who had come to their senses ran back desperately, crying and terrified. Priests, the fearsome fleet is coming!

On the tall lucky boat, Qian Longxi took a binoculars and looked at Palembang, a city built by the Dutch with the blood and sweat of Sumatran aborigines: "This city is not bad. Be careful when you start , if the damage is too severe, we need to repair it.”

At this moment, the huge fleet of the Daming Navy has begun to change formation, and warships gallop forward one after another, completely sealing off the outlet of Palingpan. Palembang was in a panic.

The Dutch people in the city of Palembang, whether they are the gentlemen who seem to be polite and lofty, or those rude and cruel mercenaries, or ordinary Dutch businessmen, those Dutch ladies, a All of them stared at the Deming Fleet on the sea in horror, trembling and weeping bitterly.

In the past, they used warships and artillery to blast away the homes of the aboriginals one by one, bringing blood and fire to the aboriginals, and letting the aboriginals suffer tears and suffering.

But now, the Daming Navy, which is stronger than them, has come, and now, it is the Dutch people's turn to cry.

"God, why did Mingren's warship come here? It shouldn't be, how could Mingren notice this place?"

"As I said, Ming people will come, Ming people will definitely come, the mistakes we made before, now we will face revenge!"

"What happened? Why is there a fleet surrounding us? What the hell happened?"

All kinds of sounds of panic, confusion and fear sounded. The noisy sounds and the growing fear plunged the beautiful city of Palembang into chaos, and even greater chaos was yet to come.

boom!boom!
Two cannon shots were fired, and the terrified Dutch saw only two shells tumbling in the air, growing from a black spot to bigger and bigger, and then falling outside the city.

The two shells missed Palembangan, but no one felt lucky, because it was just a simple school fire.

Sure enough, there were two more cannon shots, and the two shells drew a scorching arc in the air, and then fell into the city, punching two big holes in the top of a tavern.

The next moment, the people of the Netherlands were completely panicked. They started to flee crying and screaming. It even took the opportunity to plunder the wealth of those Han people in the city.

Palembang, which was originally full of order, has completely turned into a city of chaos at this moment. The Dutch are fleeing, while the natives are taking the opportunity to burn, kill and loot. Rob wealth.

After all, women who usually want to steal money from Han people have to wait for the order of Lord Netherland, but now, they can do whatever they want!

At this time, there was a roar like a thunderbolt, and people raised their heads in astonishment, only to see pieces of shells splashing like raindrops above the sky!

These shells rolled in the air, drawing hot marks one after another, and finally fell into the city of Palembang like a meteor, and then exploded!
boom!
boom!boom!boom!
A series of explosions sounded, and the entire city of Palingpang was baptized by artillery fire. Facing the intensive bombardment by the navy of the Ming army, Palingpang began to become dilapidated, caught fire, and gradually turned into a terrible burning hell.

At this time, even the ignorant natives knew that the danger was coming, and they also cried and fled in all directions holding the wealth they had stolen. A shell fell in the middle of the street and exploded, instantly a piece of gold, silver jewelry and jewels fell on the ground , and around the explosion, several indigenous people cried and wailed, their hands and feet were cut off, and their blood flowed unstoppably, but no one cared about them at all.

The Han people closed their homes in horror, resisting the harassment of the aborigines and hooligans outside. It is obvious that they have only had a few days of good life recently, and the attitude of the Dutch master towards them is also better, but what is the situation now?
The Han people didn't understand, and neither did the natives. The only Dutch people who knew what happened were running away.

Intensive artillery fire continued to fall, and more than fifty warships poured ammunition, smashing Palingpan to pieces.

However, under the cover of artillery fire, troop carriers began to approach the port one after another. These troop carriers carrying new army soldiers arrived at the port and put down the partitions. Teams of new army soldiers quickly landed. They took their weapons, Pulling a door of artillery to attack the city of Palembang.

When the artillery fire on the seaside ceased, the survivors of the Netherlands and the natives came out of the ruins in a daze. Their faces and bodies were covered with traces of gunpowder smoke, and even the clothes of the gentlemen were covered in smoke and dust and were tattered.

But in the case of life-saving, who cares about this?

"Mingren's cannon fire has stopped?"

"Are they done with revenge? Are we safe?"

"What's the situation now, who knows what the situation is now?"

"Let's get out of here, Palembang is no longer safe!"

The people of the Netherlands were crying, they were already scared, and they wanted to leave.

At this time, the Ming soldiers also entered the city.

"Based on the team, spread out and control the whole city."

"The captain of each battalion should do a good job of control, if there is an opportunity to make trouble, kill those who do anything wrong!"

As the order was issued, teams of Ming soldiers rushed towards the streets. The bewildered Dutch people heard the sound of a large number of approaching footsteps, and were captured before they had time to run.

"Squat down, squat down, and hand over your weapons!"

"Everyone squat down, don't raise your head!"

"Hey, what's hiding behind it?!"

Facing the soldiers of the Ming army who surrounded him and held muskets, a Netherland gentleman felt extremely humiliated. He is a noble Netherlander, and he has status and status!
Stubbornly standing up, this Netherlandish gentleman said righteously: "I am a gentleman, and I need decent ones."

Before he finished speaking, this noble and well-known Netherlandish gentleman was kicked to the ground: "Who told you to stand up? Anyone who stands up again will die!"

Before the voice could finish speaking, a series of gunshots sounded from the adjacent street.

Gunshots sounded like fried beans one after another, followed by the wailing and screaming of a large number of indigenous people.

"There are a large number of natives here who intend to resist. Go and inform the captain that we need artillery."

Soon, there were a few gunshots, and accompanied by the sound of the house collapsing, the natives in the house were also crying for their fathers and mothers when they were hit by the falling bricks, followed by a burst of intensive gunfire, crying Did not reappear.

At this moment, the noble Netherlandish gentleman felt chills all over his body. He realized that in the eyes of sensible people, he was no different from those rude and savage natives. It seemed that they were all barbarians?
Thinking of this, the gentleman from the Netherlands adjusted his posture, squatted on the ground obediently with his head in his hands, and stared down at the smoke and dust on the ground, as if he was looking at some world-famous painting.

In other places in Balengpang City, teams of Ming army soldiers are carefully cleaning up the city.

"It's true for those people in the naval division. So many rounds of shells have directly destroyed a whole city. How much will it cost to repair it later?"

"That's right, these sailors really don't know how to save money. Those seven or eight hundred cannons fired so many rounds. How many shells are needed? We don't have so many cannons in the whole town!"

Several soldiers of the Ming army were communicating, and suddenly heard something. The soldiers of the Ming army who had experienced the baptism of war immediately became vigilant, and walked cautiously towards the dark corner with their weapons in hand.

"who!"

After shouting violently, these Ming soldiers were stunned. What appeared in front of them was not a hiding Dutchman, nor a Sumatran aborigine, but a pair of Ming siblings curled up in a bamboo basket.

Mingren?

How can there be wise people in Palembang?

Since the Dutch attacked the Ming merchant ship, all the merchants and common people of the Ming Dynasty have not entered Nanyang for a while.

"what's going on?"

"I don't know, take it back and give it to the captain."

After discussing with several soldiers of the Ming army, they took the obviously frightened Ming brothers and sisters out of the bamboo basket and took them to find the captain of the camp.

"Qin Duwei, Qin Duwei, we found these two children."

Qin Duwei looked at the two pale-faced children thoughtfully: "I remember, the court said that there are many Han people who fled here in Nanyang at the end of Song Dynasty and Yuan Dynasty. They should be the descendants of those Han people who fled here. Bar."

"Take them back first, and see what the adults say."
