Chapter 322 The Dutchman's Counterattack
It was late at night, and the thick clouds in the sky blocked not a single drop of the moonlight.The world fell into chaos.

There's a reason the Dutchman didn't surrender.Because they feel they still have a chance.And tonight is an opportunity.The clouds blocked the moonlight and the leader seemed to be blessed by the gods.

Around midnight, the Dutchman quietly approached the ship without lighting a single torch.Although the sky is dark tonight, the sea is surprisingly calm. There is no wind and no waves. It is a good time for a surprise attack!
The Dutchman was very apprehensive, and he didn't even dare to hit the water with his oars, for fear that such a small movement would attract the attention of the Ming army.

"I hope there will be no accidents tonight! These barbarians abandoned by God, I must make them look good!" Cohen, the governor of the Dutch East India Company, stood on the coast, looking at the dark warships of the Ming army in the distance, viciously Said.

"Your Excellency, we will succeed this time, God will bless us." said the attendant next to him.

Cohen nodded.Success or failure depends on one action, if it doesn't work tonight, you will have to surrender tomorrow.Originally, Cohen wanted to make some achievements in Asia. At the beginning, he did have good achievements, but after failing to occupy Macau and the Penghu Islands, he had to set his sights on Taiwan.And now, Taiwan couldn't stay any longer, so he came to this small island.Now that the island is not allowed to stay, will it let us live?Cohen really wants to ask Wei Ming, how can the Dutch gain a foothold in Asia?In order to invade Macau and the Penghu Islands, Cohen basically mobilized all the power of the Netherlands in Asia to the Ming Dynasty.But now that he has suffered heavy losses, how can he deal with himself?He was putting all his eggs in one basket. If he could not win this battle, he believed that Ming Dynasty would not let him go.At that time, the Dutch colonies in Asia may have to give up.And the Dutch must withdraw from Asia. I believe that the Dutch will not have the opportunity to enter Asia again for a long time.This is something Cohen cannot tolerate.Asia is very important to the Netherlands. He also wants to open the market of the Ming Dynasty and transport raw silk, porcelain, and tea back to the Netherlands!In that case, you can definitely make a lot of money.With funds, the Dutch have more power to occupy more land, and then have more wealth, and then occupy land again, forming a virtuous circle.And the Ming Dynasty is an indispensable part.And he also believes that Ming Dynasty people are much easier to use than other slaves. These are all resources!Cohen sees himself as a businessman who can dance with the devil if there is enough interest.That's why he cooperated with the rebel forces of the Ming Dynasty.But now, he can't feel that the rebel forces can bring him even the slightest help, and even the promised partnership to attack the Zhongzuo Institute has not been realized, which makes Cohen very disappointed with the Ming Dynasty people.Why doesn't this Wei Ming cooperate with him?Doesn't he want more benefits, more power, and a higher status?He really couldn't understand what Wei Ming was thinking.

At night, Wei Ming was sleeping soundly when he suddenly felt a shock, and a dull explosion sounded not far away.Wei Ming got up from the bed in a jerk, stunned his ears, and there were several explosions one after another, it seemed that the enemy really attacked at night.

I hurriedly put on my clothes, opened the hatch, and looked into the distance. I could still vaguely see some sparks, which were left by the sunk enemy ships.Qin Yuxin was waiting at the door, alert to everything around her.The portable saber has already been unsheathed, and even the life-saving tools needed for falling into the water are ready.Seeing that Wei Ming came out, he put a water jacket on Wei Ming's body, and prepared a simple life buoy made of balsa wood for Wei Ming to put on.In this way, even if it falls into the sea, there is a certain chance of survival, and it will not be drowned, so it is easy to search and rescue.

After all this was over, Lu Xiangsheng also rushed over.Wei Ming is the backbone of this team.In fact, the opponent doesn't need to do anything, as long as Wei Ming is killed, they will win the battle.It's hard for Lu Xiangsheng to say what will happen then.Perhaps the whole army was so excited that they desperately wanted to find the Dutchman desperately, so there were still battles to be fought.If the commander-in-chief dies and the whole army collapses, then the battle will be unfightable.At that time, I still don't know who hit whom.It's not that such a thing has never happened before, and no one dares to be careless.

"How many people are there in the enemy?" Wei Ming asked.

"The specific situation is unclear, but according to the information sent back from the front, there should be no less than a hundred ships. The Dutch don't dislike anything now. It is said that many fishing boats and merchant ships have been hijacked and armed to fight us. "Lu Xiangsheng said.

"This shows that they have really reached the end of their rope. Now I can't understand why they chose to attack the center left. It is simply sending them to death. I don't think it will be that simple. However, since they have come to such a step Now, then get ready to accept the punishment of failure. No one is a child anymore, and what they do is responsible. It is useless to resist now. Pass the order, don’t attack, just defend. Be careful to let the enemy drill It took a loophole and caused unnecessary losses. When Tianming is ten minutes old, even if Tianming wants to escape, he will not be able to escape." Wei Ming said flatly.

"Yes!" Lu Xiangsheng responded and went to make arrangements.Qin Yuxin looked at Wei Ming who was becoming more and more superior, and didn't know what it was like.Call it joy, of course there are, which woman doesn't want her man to be a hero who stands up to heaven and earth?Now after Wei Ming's northern attack on the Golden Mongolia, the Nanping rebellion, and the extermination of the bandits in the Netherlands, it can be called a great merit. Who dares to say that this is not a great merit?Who dares to say that Wei Ming is not a national hero?There is also loss.Because the farther Wei Ming goes on this road, the more difficult it will be to return.She was tired of the intrigues in the court, especially after Wei Ming's accident in Liaodong.As long as people are safe and sound, even if everything is lost, life can still be happy.But if the person is gone, what is the use of giving Qin Yuxin more money and power?After a hundred years, what can be taken away after returning to dust?Only memories.And if the person is gone, where will the memory come from?I'm afraid that when the time comes, the memories will be scarce. Wouldn't it be very boring to live a lifetime?
The Dutch were blocked by mines, and the flames from the sunk ship completely exposed the Dutch position.The Dutch panicked.But the more panicked, the more things went wrong. Ships were constantly blown up by sea mines. Before the people on board had time to figure out what was going on, they fell into endless darkness, cold all over, and then slowly lost consciousness. until nothing is known.The Ming army did not intend to be polite to them.Since you are so ignorant to come here to attack at night, then I will let you know what cruelty is!Everyone is willing to do the thing of beating a dog in the water.The Ming army really had never tried shelling at night, and I was a little excited.Now there are ready-made targets, so there is no need to use them for nothing.It's useless.The muzzles of the guns were aimed at the Dutchman's warship, and following the order of the captain, the shells hit the Dutchman's ship one after another.Many of the ships hijacked by the Dutch are offshore fishing vessels and merchant ships.How much defense can you expect this kind of ship to have?Some ships were not even directly hit by the artillery fire, but fell apart after being affected.And the Dutch above could only fall screaming into the icy water to meet their God.

"Your Excellency, the Ming army is fully prepared, what should we do?" the attendant said.

"Waiting for an opportunity to find a breakthrough, I don't believe that they can do it seamlessly! As long as they are human, there will be things that they can't consider! I don't believe that Wei Ming is really as invincible as in the legend! Even if he puts everything together today! Man, I want to bite off a piece of his body too!" Cohen said through gritted teeth.Since coming to Asia, he has been successful.Whether it is massacre or robbery, no one has ever dared to stand up and say no.Because the people who said it have already sunk into the bottom of the sea.This also enabled him to be named governor of the Dutch East India Company.Wei Ming broke all his pride, and now the matter is a foregone conclusion, he only hopes that Wei Ming can also taste his strength and express his depressed mood before the war is completely defeated.

"Yes!" The attendant replied, and went down to deliver the order.
