Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 774 I am not the abolished emperor of the late Qing Dynasty

"12? Which 12, read it to me."

Zhu Yousong had expected a long time ago that the overlord of the sea would never remain silent after suffering such a violent loss. He didn't expect the soldiers to overwhelm the border, and even made a 12. Is this to force the signing of an unequal treaty?

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. The first article is that if the Ming Dynasty does not declare war, it must bear all the consequences arising therefrom. The second article is that the Ming Dynasty must compensate the Great Netherlands Kingdom for war losses equivalent to [-] million taels of silver. All Dutch soldiers were released unconditionally and made a public apology. Article [-], ceded Taiwan Penghu Island to the Kingdom of the Great Netherlands. Article [-], opened five ports of trade in Hong Kong, Macau, Xiamen, Quanzhou, and Fuzhou, and Dutch nationals had priority in the above-mentioned treaty ports The right to do business. Article [-]. Merchant ships of the Kingdom of the Greater Netherlands are exempt from all taxes when they enter and leave the Taiwan Strait. Article [-],..."

Zhu Yousong patiently listened to the 12 overlord clauses in one breath, sneered and said: "This red-haired boy has such a big appetite, this is not the end of the late Qing Dynasty, and I am not Cixi and the abolished emperor of the late Qing Dynasty. , I will not agree to any of them!"

Some of Zhu Yousong's courtiers still couldn't understand what Zhu Yousong said. What about Cixi and the deposed emperor in the late Qing Dynasty?
Liu Zhaoji, Li Quan, Xiao Liu, Li Guofu, etc. blinked their eyes, their minds spinning rapidly, but they couldn't remember what His Majesty was referring to?
Zhu Yousong continued: "Tell Zheng Chenggong and Yao Qisheng that I will not accept them under half the conditions, and let them leave our Daming sea area immediately, or they will all be sunk. As soon as the war started, order Zheng Chenggong, Yao Qisheng, Shi Lang, Liu Guoxuan, With the strength of the four provinces of Taiwan, Fujian, Guangdong, and Zhejiang, they taught the bandit logic red-haired thieves a lesson. The former gave me so many advanced warships and weapons from Ming Dynasty. If I don’t show it this time, I’d be too sorry for their kindness! Liu Yes, draw up an order for me."

"Your Majesty is holy. Liu is the leader." Xiao Liu next to him saluted Zhu Yousong with great interest.

The line of sight shifted to the waters near the Penghu Islands in Taiwan, and the waters near the Kinmen Islands. Hongmaozi's thousands of warships, large and small, were watching.

Of course, the local navy of the Ming army did not show weakness. They also launched more than 1000 warships of various types, and drove the captured Dutch warships to the forefront. , the nearest distance is no more than ten nautical miles, and the war is imminent.

At that time, the ruling Prince of Orange in the Netherlands, also known as William II, took charge of military and political power at the age of 23.However, the Kingdom of the Netherlands at that time was not a unified sovereign country. It was ruled by Spain for many years. Until now, Spain has not recognized his status as an independent sovereign country.The young William II fought for sovereignty, defeated the powerful Spanish army many times, and became the core figure of the Dutch jihad. The leader of the Oranje family wanted to end the division of the Netherlands and establish a unified sovereign state. Lead the army to fight around and resort to force.

At this time, Taiwan, an important colony opened up by his East India Company in the East, has been in business for more than 20 years, but was erased abruptly by the Ming emperor Zhu Yousong. When the news reached him, the bloody William II became angry , growled and vowed to take this opportunity to teach this ancient oriental barbarian a hard lesson.

Although the country has not yet been unified, they are already the overlords of the sea, and their fleets are rampant all over the world. How dare this ancient oriental country dare to defy their divine power?
Soon William II and Speaker Augusten came up with 12, and sent a powerful fleet of 2 people, led by Admiral Proseus, the Minister of Maritime Defense, to sail aggressively to the coastal waters of China.

But then, flaunting their power, the menacing red-haired boy ran into walls one after another in Fujian and Taiwan. Zheng Chenggong and Yao Qisheng didn't bother them at all. In the end, Proseus waved his big fleshy fist, and the red-haired boy shouted with puffy face: "Be sure to be ruthless!" Seriously teach these ignorant Ming troops a lesson!"

Thus began the naval battle, and this time the scale of the war was even more unprecedented.Hong Maozi successively invested 2 troops and nearly 4000 warships.

At first, there were two battlefields, namely the waters near the Penghu Islands in Taiwan and the waters near Jinmen Island in Fujian.Zheng Chenggong, governor of Taiwan, and Yao Qisheng, governor of Fujian, personally commanded the naval fleet to fight back fiercely against Hongmaozi.

As soon as they came into contact, the battle became very intense, because both sides invested in warships with the largest tonnage and first-class equipment. Of course, these were all produced by the Netherlands.The thundering cannons filled the air with gunpowder smoke, the fireballs billowed, and the water jets soared into the sky.

Halfway through the fierce battle between the two sides, when there were casualties between the two sides, the Guangdong Navy and the Zhejiang Navy arrived. These two navys each consisted of more than 300 warships. The commander-in-chief of the teams was of course Governor Shi Lang of Guangdong and Governor of Zhejiang. Liu Guoxuan.

The two governors each brought 5000 sailors to attack Hongmaozi's flank.

In this way, the four-province joint navy fleet of the Ming army was formed, with a total investment of more than 3 troops and more than [-] warships of various sizes.

General Proseus avoided the enemy, so he had to divide his troops to resist the battle, so that the two battlefields were divided into four battlefields.

The scene of the naval battle is unprecedentedly tragic, giving people a strong visual impact.

The battle lasted for three days and three nights, and finally ended with Hong Maozi's disastrous defeat. The injured general Proseus fled back to Amsterdam in embarrassment with only a few hundred wrecked ships and more than 8000 remnants.

The four provinces of the Ming army united the navy and won a complete victory. Although more than 1 sailors were killed or injured and more than 800 warships were lost in this battle, they won the final victory and dealt a severe blow to the red-haired bandits. Arrogant.

And the political implications are even greater.The Ming army won successive naval battles, and the Dutch fleet, known as the overlord of the sea, suffered successive defeats. The news spread and caused a sensation in the world.

The rising powers and great powers in the Eastern Ocean, Southern Ocean, Western Europe, Northern Europe and other places have taken a new look at this ancient and declining Eastern power.

The good news spread to the Ming capital, and Emperor Hongguang Zhu Yousong, who was patrolling the training base of the Far East Army, couldn't help applauding.

"You did a good job, Zheng Chenggong, Yao Qisheng, Shi Lang, Liu Guoxuan, and Siqing really lived up to my expectations. They fought well and showed the national prestige and military prestige of my Daming Navy. Pass on my will, praise Siqing, and wear flying fish uniforms , Immediately prepare the royal wine and meat, Li Guofu, you will go on my behalf, reward the soldiers of the three armies, and give 10 deniers of food and 200 million taels of silver.

"Your Majesty is wise, your grace is mighty, and your servants will lead the decree." Li Guofu agreed to find the cabinet and the Ministry of War to draft the decree.
