Dragon Sea Empire

Chapter 244 The Dutch Ambition

While the Dutch fleet was receiving supplies.The Chinese Company's Guam Squadron kept watch over them.Cannons on the Aganasi Fort.Has also been warily targeting the Dutch.

certainly.The Dutch sailors and the new local rulers were apparently harmonious.The two sides did a lot of business in the Agana Bazaar.A large number of chickens, ducks and birds were processed by the Chinese and sold to the Dutch.The Dutch used the gold, silver and jewelry they robbed the Spanish galleons from America to trade a large number of oranges and fruits of the local aborigines; the long-distance voyage caused many Dutch people to suffer from scurvy.

Major Zhang Hai and Second Lieutenant Luo Yi, the supervisor sent by the Military Supervision Department, hurried to the Sea Soul.Found Captain Huang Xing.

The new military rank system has been implemented throughout the army.Zhang Hai is not used to wearing his major logo yet.It is still the same as before on Penghu Island.Casually dressed in a black soldier uniform.It's just that the Japanese sword hanging around his waist reveals his identity.After Yin Feng raided the Satsuma Domain.Nearly 10000 Japanese swords of various kinds were snatched and seized on the battlefield.There are nearly a thousand of them with good texture.All were distributed to officers of the Chinese Army at all levels.This kind of Japanese sword required a hundred gold to buy in the Ming Dynasty.Even a small second lieutenant captain of the Chinese army can wear it.Because the Chinese Army is a firearms force.Front-line commanders rarely have the opportunity to go into battle and kill people.Therefore, the Japanese sword became the standard command sword of the Chinese Army.

"Captain Huang, can the Sea Soul set off for Luzon immediately?" Zhang Hai asked.

"Oh. Major Zhang. I have direct written orders from the Grand Commander; I am waiting for the Spaniards to show up. Only when the Spaniards show up can I leave Guam."

Zhang Hai shook his head.It is known that Captain Huang is the nephew of Huang Cheng, the company's major shareholder and member of the board of directors.And also Yin Feng's confidant.Carrying out various secret missions at sea for Yin Feng all the year round.So a little arrogant.Oil and salt do not enter.

Captain Huang calmed down and asked, "The Dutch fleet is going to Batavia. Is there any problem?"

Zhang Hai nodded: "Before I came to Guam. When the chief officers of our overseas colonial garrisons were training in the military academy, Captain Yin said that he would do something about Nanyang this year. What I worry about is that the Dutch will be detrimental to the company's Nanyang plan." .”

Captain Huang thought for a while and said, "Then let's do this. Didn't the Ministry of Military Intelligence distribute carrier pigeons to every colony garrison. You can use carrier pigeons to report."

Zhang Hai said in embarrassment: "But. Our carrier pigeons are also prepared for the Spaniards..."

Think twice.The two decided to release the two pigeons from the Guam colony to Luzon to report.

Carrier pigeons from Guan Island to Manila City, Luzon.Need to fly more than 5000 miles.It takes eight to ten days; and the Haihun will take more than 20 days at the fastest.

The Chinese Army incorporated the carrier pigeons into the ad hoc Communications Department of the Ministry of Military Intelligence.These pigeons are the world's top pigeons bred in the south of the Netherlands (Belgium).An excellent breed bred by crossing Yanbo pigeon with Persian carrier pigeon, tumbler pigeon and Schmidt pigeon.It is the originator of future generations of racing pigeons.but. 5000 miles is also an ultra-long-distance flight for homing pigeons.These two pigeons in Guam are by far the best pigeons ever bred by MICOM.But this 5000-mile journey is also an extreme challenge for this kind of homing pigeon.

Huang Xing commanded the Sea Soul to set off westward overnight.The pigeons were released five days later.Then return to Guam.

In the afternoon three days later.The Dutch fleet departs from the Thieves Islands.Advance to the Indonesian archipelago south of the Philippines.

Admiral Joris Spielbergen's fleet a month later.Rendezvous with Vice Admiral F. de Wittert's fleet at Batavia.Vettelt came from another direction of the earth: Europe-Cape of Good Hope-Indian Ocean, and arrived in Batavia one month earlier than Spielbergen's fleet.

Now.Including the original Batavian fleet.The Dutch assembled in Asia the most powerful fleet since the establishment of the East India Company: five main battleships.All three-masted ships.Each ship is equipped with more than forty cannons.There were eleven other Clippers.Eight auxiliary ships.About 3000 sailors and soldiers.There are also hundreds of local Javanese aboriginal auxiliary soldiers.

same period.The port of Acapulco on the Pacific coast of Spanish colonial Mexico.More than 40 ships of various kinds have gathered.Gathered all the troops that Spain's "vice king" Hiro in Mexico could recruit.They are preparing to board the ship.Then it takes four to six months to cross the Pacific Ocean.Attack on Luzon Island in the Philippine Islands.

虽然西班牙在欧洲已经暂时性和其他强国停战了。但是连续几十年战争导致的政府财政危机。使得墨西哥“副王”竭尽全力也只能召集到了5000人的部队。而且。这5000人中包括了3000名本土西班牙正规军士兵。从欧洲招募來的各种雇佣兵:瑞士长矛手300名。神圣罗马帝国的日耳曼雇佣兵500名;在中美洲招募的由各种国籍海盗水手等各色欧洲亡命徒等组成杂牌水手500名。正规的西班牙帝国海军人员就只有三艘主力战舰上的700多人。

Because the source of troops is too complicated.Many have to come to Mexico from Europe to join the queue.Therefore, the integration of the troops is too troublesome.Therefore, the "Asian Expedition Fleet" of the Spanish Empire, which was originally scheduled to depart in early June, had to postpone the voyage time and time again.

The port of Acapulco was the main port of Spain's "galeon trade" across the Pacific Ocean.therefore.One kind of person that is indispensable here is the businessman.Especially Jews. "New Christians".

Before Yin Feng counterattacked Lu Song.A wealthy Jewish businessman who helped Chinese military agents, Francisco Diaz de Montoya from Manila.He is now the vice president of the Manila Chamber of Commerce.Served as the head of the overseas trade department of the Luzon branch of the Chinese company.His younger brother Duarte de Montoya is in the port of Acapulco, Mexico.During these five years when the galleon trade was interrupted.Avoid the control of the Spanish imperial government on the Pacific route through the smuggling trade.Duarte de Montoya also has business dealings with the Bernardo Caderas family of Macau.And at the moment he is in the port of Acapulco.The Asiatic Expeditionary Force, watching the Spanish Empire, was in a tumultuous training.

After a while.He appeared under a cape south of Acapulco Harbor.A place where smuggling boats congregate.He hired a two-masted Dutch corsair for a large sum of money.It was a month before the departure of the Spanish army.Traveled to the Pacific Ocean south of the equator.Day and night, he rushed to Manila to report.

While the Jewish global network comes into play.A piece of information about the Dutch was delivered through a pigeon relay in just half a month.Finally came to Yin Feng in Manila City, Luzon Island.

Yin Feng is struggling with preparations for Luzon Island.But after reading this information.It reminds me of the secret letter sent by Zhang Hai to the carrier pigeon.Involuntarily fell into deep thought.

moment.He summoned all the middle and senior officers of the [-]st Brigade.Zeng Jingshan, the director of Luzon's tutelary government, and others also came.Everyone gathered in the lobby of Yin Feng's residence; the former mansion of the Philippine Governor of the Spanish Empire.Yan Siqi was also summoned.He walked into the lobby suspiciously.I found that everyone was looking at him: except Zeng Jingshan and other civil affairs supervisors.He was the youngest and only captain present.

It wasn't long before Yan Siqi's fifth regiment was established.It was split into various colonial garrisons.Assigned to Guam, Leyte, West Borneo gold mining areas such as Pontinak and Sambas.Aceh in Sumatra and Sukatana, Makassar, and Jayakerta in southern Kalimantan.

Yan Siqi became a polished commander.Doing nothing all day.

This is actually his own trouble: Yan Siqi's team has been established for several years.Has participated in many wars in Taiwan, Southeast Asia and other places.Every time there is always a conflict with the local administrator or military director.end of last year.Yan Siqi unscrupulously clashed with the indigenous Chamorros in Guam.Looted native villages in northern Agana.Many natives were killed.Almost caused a rebellion by the Chamorros on the entire island; then he was transferred back to Taiwan.We go north to Ryukyu as troops supporting Ryukyu at the beginning of the year.The result was when the Korean Jeju Island was captured.Yan Siqi's troops killed most of the North Korean officials and exiles.Fortunately, Chen Zhongji covered it up for him.Claiming to be my own idea...

Yan Siqi took the lead.His Fifth Regiment was the unit with the worst military discipline in the Chinese Army.Murderous but the heaviest.Gathered a large number of recruited pirates.Maleficents generally cause bloodshed everywhere: for any rebellious natives.Yan Siqi said in one word: "Kill."

Yin Feng had to disperse Yan Siqi's troops.The colonial garrison is divided into hundreds of sentry teams.Yan Siqi became more and more impulsive and easy to kill.Yin Feng had a very headache.He wants to train the generals of his army too much.Now I can't help but say to Li Lihua in frustration: "I probably backfired. Yan Siqi has become like this now. I should be blamed."

Before coming to Luzon.Yan Siqi was frozen.His establishment was transferred to the Personal Guard Division under the Supervision Department.In fact, they are Yin Feng's personal guards.As the head of the personal guard, he is quite competent.After coming to Manila.Yan Siqi hit a French businessman for no reason while performing a defense mission.Was dismissed again.

now.At this important military meeting.The appearance of the little captain Yan Siqi.Very glaring indeed.

Yan Siqi blushed slightly.Without saying a word, he found a seat behind the crowd and sat down.

Yin Feng stood in front of the desk.Flipping through several documents on the table.

"Attention everyone. The No. [-] spy code-named Uncle Tianzi sent a report: The Dutch have made some moves. The problem now is that the Spaniards may already be in the Pacific Ocean. And the Ming Dynasty is implementing a sea ban. What should we do now manage."

Yin Feng opened his mouth.Everyone fell silent. The "uncle" of "Tianzi No. [-]".It was the latent spy who sent out the message that "Yin Feng is going to Hangzhou to be dangerous".The real identity of this person is other than Yin Feng.Almost no one knows.

"Now. Our Dutch friends are going to watch the tigers fight on Table Mountain. When we get stuck with the Spaniards. Give us a back. Take the fire and rob."
