The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

But the meaning of his words is obvious!

Unwilling to continue the stalemate with the Ming army in Zhoushan, he had the idea of ​​​​withdrawing troops.

When Shi Lang heard this, the expression on his face seemed to be moved, but he still said hesitantly.

"The imperial court has entrusted me with an important task!"

"Mobilize heavy troops from the whole south and north of the Yangtze River, recruit civilians, and raise a lot of food and grass to support the Zhoushan war."

"I waited in Zhoushan to waste the country's money for a long time without success. If I evacuated here, it would be difficult to explain to the court!"

Doron said.

"The battle in Zhoushan cannot continue!"

"Although the rebel Wang Yi of Siming Mountain was captured and killed by our Qing Dynasty, the remnants of his subordinates are still active in the Siming Mountain area, deceiving people's hearts and frequently harassing places."

"Even attacked Yuyao County Mirror at one point!"

"There is instability everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River. Those remnants of the former Ming Dynasty who have two hearts in the localities have been collaborating in private and discussing riots."

"There is no army in the south of the Yangtze River to suppress it, it will not work!"

Seeing the expression on Shi Lang's face, Duolong continued to speak.

"If Admiral Shi is unwilling to take the responsibility for this crime, then we can tell the court to withdraw our troops!"

The corner of Shi Lang's mouth twitched, facing Duolong's forced palace, he had no choice but to speak.

"What is Lord Duolong talking about? As the chief general of this battle, the admiral should naturally write the apology, and Lord Duolong's signature is enough!"

Doron nodded slightly.

The Dutch commander Van der Laan on the side seemed to be full of bitterness and hatred on his face at this time.

He has already received the news that the city of Zeelandia was captured by the Ming army and that the Dutch East India Company withdrew from Nanyang.

While hating Luo Bei, the traitor, at the same time, his heart is also full of fear.

And deep regret!
He began to regret that the Dutch East India Company should not have participated in the war between the Ming and Qing Dynasties!
Before that, he really didn't expect that the Ming army could capture Batavia and completely annihilate the Dutch fleet in Batavia.

Even the Dutch East India Company was expelled to the west of Malacca!
If he had known this earlier, he would never have gotten involved in the war between Ming and Qing.

It's just that it's too late to regret now!

Batavia has changed hands, and even Malacca has been controlled by the Ming Dynasty. Now Van der Laan has no way out and can only go to the dark.

Continue to stay on the big ship of the Qing court!
Counting on the Qing Dynasty to completely defeat the Ming Dynasty in the future.

Then he could use the power of the Qing Dynasty to restore the presence of the Dutch East India Company in the Far East.

The worst is the worst, but also to use the power of the Qing Dynasty to keep himself and his subordinates.

Because Nanyang was controlled by the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming army deployed defenses and set up forts in Malacca, blocking the waterways of Malacca.

Van der Laan now wants to escape back to Europe, but there is no way to escape.

If there is no Qing court to rely on, he will be wiped out by Ming Dynasty sooner or later!

Well, Van der Laan would never have imagined that my Qing Dynasty was planning to prostitute foreigners like them for nothing...

Van der Laan had no say in such matters.

But Brown on the side spoke.

"Dear gentlemen, Brown has a saying that I don't know if I should say it or not!"

When he said this, Brown stared at Shi Lang and Duolong.

Shi Lang glanced at the blond, blue-eyed, ugly foreigner in front of him, and asked.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Brown spoke.

"My dear gentlemen, with all due respect!"

"If the Qing Dynasty withdraws its troops this time, I'm afraid there will never be another chance to conquer the Zhoushan Islands and wipe out the Ming's army in Zhoushan."

"We were able to besiege Zhoushan this time because the main fleet of the Ming Navy was in Nanyang against the Dutch Batavia fleet."

"But now, the Netherlands has been defeated, and the war in Nanyang is over. The navy of the Ming army may go north at any time!"

"Once the main force of the navy of the Ming army goes northward, the advantage of the navy of the Qing Dynasty will no longer exist!"

"At that time, the Qing Dynasty will no longer be able to threaten the Zhoushan Fortress!"

Hearing this, Shi Lang couldn't help frowning.

Thinking that after this evacuation, he would have nothing to do with Zhoushan Fortress in the future, his original plan began to waver.

Zhoushan is too close to the mouth of the Yangtze River!
It's like a sharp knife on the Qing court's chest!

As long as the Ming army controlled Zhoushan, the Qing army would harass the south and north of the Yangtze River in order to prevent the Ming army from entering the Yangtze River.

It is necessary to station elite soldiers at the mouth of the Yangtze River for a long time!
It's okay to waste money and food, and it's not good-looking!
Doron opened his mouth, wanting to say something more.

"..."

Suddenly, there were bursts of urgent horn sounds on the distant sea.

That was calling the police after a patrol ship in the navy of the Qing army was attacked!
Shi Lang was furious when he thought it was Daming's sailor who came back to harass him.

But there is also a faint mentality that can be counted!
In the past, the naval divisions of the Ming army often came to harass them, and they felt a little unaccustomed to not showing up for a period of time.

However, in the next instant, the expressions of Shi Lang and the others changed suddenly.

Because, what appeared at the end of the water antenna was not the harassing navy of the Ming army.

It was a large expanse of sails that covered the sky and almost covered the entire surface of the sea!
Warships with dark hulls jumped out of the water, and the white sails formed a sharp contrast with the dark hulls.

The twelve-pointed sun and moon flags are flying high on the mast!

One, two, three... ten, twenty, thirty... one hundred, two hundred, three hundred...

Countless warships, armed merchant ships, and a combined fleet of transport ships appeared on the sea off Zhoushan.

Standing on the bow of his own ship, Zhu Hongyu looked at the Qing army navy docked at Zhoushan wharf, and just said with a sneer.

"If we win this battle, we, Ming Dynasty, can completely wipe out the Qing Dynasty's Yangtze River navy!"

Zheng Chenggong said.

"What His Royal Highness Jian Guo said is true!"

"Since the Qing captives have pulled their Yangtze River navy to sea, how can I, Ming Dynasty, miss this opportunity to severely damage their Yangtze River navy?!"

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly, and then spoke.

"If the order is passed on, the whole army will press up, and the Qinglu navy will be wiped out in one fell swoop!"

Following Zhu Hongyu's order, the Ming fleet changed its flag.

The warships moved forward quickly, and the gun windows on the side of the ships were opened, revealing a dark and preferential muzzle.

Start pressing towards the port!

Hundreds of ships crushed over, and the sense of oppression was still very strong.

Seeing the mighty Ming warships on the sea, Shi Lang, Duolong, and even Van der Laan, Brown and others all changed their complexions.

Shi Lang's expression was ugly, and he said blankly.

"The navy of the Ming thief is really powerful!"

Doron said in a panic.

"How can this be good, how can this be good!"

"The main force of the Ming Thief Navy is here, we are blocked at the port, what should we do now?"

Van der Laan and Duolong also looked ugly.

To be honest, the two were not intimidated by the size of the Ming army's navy.

Although the navy of the Ming army is indeed very strong, both the Netherlands and the United Kingdom are well-known naval powers.

A hundred warships and two or three hundred armed merchant ships are nothing to them.
