Daming Military Empire

Chapter 330
The current patriarch of the Zheng family, Zheng Bing, is on the wall of the north gate. The envoys of the Ming Dynasty have all gone outside the city, saying that they are not afraid of it being a lie, but seeing the posture of the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, if you ignore him, he will never I will go, what should I do?

It is absolutely impossible for Li Shenzong to come out to pick him up, he is committing a crime, according to Daming's habits, he will never tolerate him holding Li Shenzong to stand on his own, and he will fight if he wants to.

After thinking for a long time, he still gritted his teeth and stood up and replied loudly: "Our emperor, oh, no, our king is sick and cannot come to pick you up. It is the same if the envoy has something to say to me."

Mei Zhihuan naturally knew that Li Shenzong had been held hostage by them, he stepped forward and said contemptuously: "Who are you, can you take over your king's order?"

Zheng Bing just wanted to send the envoy of Daming away as soon as possible, so he went all out and replied loudly: "I am Zheng Bing, the Qing capital king of the Houli Dynasty. The envoy has something to say, but please give me instructions."

Mei Zhihuan heard the words and said sharply: "Then don't come down to listen to the hadith!"

Hearing this, Zheng Bing hesitated for a while before ordering to open the gate of the city. He came to the front of the envoys, knelt down on the ground and said loudly, "Zheng Bing, king of the Qing capital of the Hou Li Dynasty, listened respectfully to the hadith."

Only then did Mei Zhihuan take out the "Da Ming Fan vassal state order" and read it aloud, Zheng Yan's eyelids jumped when he heard it, but he finally took the "Da Ming fan vassal state order" respectfully, and said loudly: "My minister Accept the decree, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

He thought, this has given you face, you should get out.

Unexpectedly, Mei Zhihuan took out another book and handed it over and said coldly: "This is the detailed rules of the vassal state order, you are limited to go to the Siming Mansion within ten days to proclaim your vassal, otherwise the soldiers of tomorrow will surely go to the south of Ping An !"

Zheng Bing accepted the detailed rules through gritted teeth, and replied in a loud voice: "My minister complies with the order."

But he hummed in his heart: "Hmph, we have already asked for help from the European powerhouse Netherlands, and they will arrive in less than ten days. We will see if you dare to call."

Mei Zhihuan naturally didn't know what was going on in his mind, his mission was to proclaim the decree, now that the decree had been proclaimed, there was no need to say any more, he just flicked his sleeves, turned around and left with the envoys.

Six days later, Mei Zhihuan returned to Siming Mansion and reported the situation to Zhu Cijiong face-to-face. Zhu Cijiong frowned and remained silent. It seemed that the Zheng family did not want to be a minister. If you don't surrender, you can only fight.

He immediately summoned a group of generals to discuss the specific matters of entering the Thang Long Mansion.

It's not easy for a 60 army to pass through the vast mountains, but Ming Dynasty still has a navy. Besides, it doesn't take 60 troops to attack Annan. Two legions are enough to go there. The remaining 40 troops are used to deal with Donghu of.

Zhu Cijiong finally decided to send the Tianxiong Army and Guan Ning Army to take the warships of the Beiyang Navy and Beihai Fleet to land from the plain area south of Thang Long City, and then go straight north to Thang Long Mansion.

As soon as he gave an order, the Tianxiong Army and the Guan Ning Army immediately began to move to Fangcheng Xingang. The Tianxiong Army had already repaired the railway between Siming Mansion and Fangcheng Xingang. The transfer was not very troublesome, but they just started One day, a telegram came from Xingang, Fangcheng, and a Dutch envoy came!
It turned out that after the Zheng family asked for help from the Netherlands, the Netherlands responded quickly. The Second Eastern Fleet set off directly from Batavia to Annan, preparing to prevent the Ming army from attacking Annan.

That's right, the Netherlands' Eastern Second Fleet has been reorganized and transferred to Batavia, and the fleet commander and Governor of Batavia is still an old acquaintance Fan Mendy!

Fan Mendi is sitting on the train from Fangcheng Xingang to Siming Mansion at this moment. His mood is quite complicated. The shadow of being defeated and captured last time has not dissipated. This time he will face the Ming Empire again. To be honest, he He was a little apprehensive in his heart. Of course, he was not afraid. The Ming Empire was strong, but facing the anti-Habsburg alliance, they were still far behind. Under the current circumstances, it might be impossible to prevent the Ming Empire from attacking Annan.

He had to come. The reason why the Netherlands and the UK supported Annan and Donghu was to curb the development of the Ming Empire. Unexpectedly, before they supported Annan, Ming would launch an attack. At this time, the anti-Habsburg alliance There is not too much power in the Far East, and he will definitely not be able to defeat the Ming Empire if he works hard. He can only rely on this mouth to see if he can scare the Ming Empire.

However, this journey has not yet started to intimidate the Ming Empire, but he himself was a little frightened.

He knew that Ming had built a strong line of defense in the Strait of Malacca, so he led his fleet to the Sulu Sea for the purpose of bypassing the Ming Navy that was on the line of defense in Malacca. He was secretly glad that he led the Second Far East Fleet Otherwise, with fifty super battleships, he would not be sure to break through the Ming army's Malacca defense line and reach Batavia.

According to information, the main navy of the Ming Empire seems to have gathered at the Malacca defense line, so he led the fleet to the harbor south of Thang Long City. At this time, Mei Zhihuan had only left for less than three days, but Zheng Bing had already arrived at the port in person. Come to meet him.

Facing the frightened and overwhelmed Zheng Bing, Fan Mendi boasted that the Netherlands would provide enough artillery to help them resist the invasion of the Ming army. When he heard that the Ming army had also built a port on the northern coast, he even led the fleet He rushed over directly, thinking of intimidating the Ming army, let them retreat directly, after all, it is best not to start a war.

As a result, his fleet was surrounded by the Beiyang Navy and the Beihai Fleet as soon as it arrived at the sea outside Fangcheng Xingang. Shete, didn’t the information say that the main force of Ming’s navy is in Malacca? Why are there so many warships here? , Facing a warship several times larger than himself, he directly gave up the idea of ​​intimidating at sea, and went ashore to threaten His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire face to face!

Why is he so confident?Because the appearance of Zhu Cijiong has changed the trajectory of history. Originally, the anti-Habsburg alliance began to fight on its own after defeating Spain and the Holy Roman Empire, vying for colonies all over the world, but at this time there is a strong enemy of the Ming Empire. , They didn't break up immediately, but started plotting against Ming Dynasty. Of course, they thought that Spain and the Holy Roman Empire had already surrendered, because the peace talks had already started, and as soon as the peace talks were over, they could unite to clean up the Ming Empire.

It is precisely for this reason that Van Mendy has become so confident. Huh, the Netherlands alone may be worse than the Ming Empire, but the entire anti-Habsburg alliance is united, and the Ming Empire is not enough, and they plan to continue to use it. The way to deal with the Holy Roman Empire is to deal with the Ming Empire, that is, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom pay for weapons, Denmark, Sweden and France send troops, and fight with Ming Dynasty!
The Netherlands has a small population, but their shipbuilding capabilities are quite terrifying. Coupled with the sufficient supply of troops from Denmark, Sweden, and France, the Ming Empire is not doomed!
