Daming: Insist on 60 billion explosive soldiers unwaveringly

"No...no...you can't kill me."

"I am Lord of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, I am Lord..."

However, no matter how he roared and struggled, the two swordsmen behind him still clamped his body tightly like iron tongs, and dragged his fat pig-like body towards the harbor.

Zhu Youchen didn't take Morris' threat seriously at all. On the contrary, Morris' words aroused his endless pride.

The powerful Netherlands that Morris saw has been regarded by Zhu Youchen as a stepping stone. He will definitely step on the bones of the Dutch and rule the entire ocean.

And he has such confidence.

Zhu Youchen turned around and looked towards the harbor. Under the golden sunlight, the masts of warships were as majestic as a forest...

Chapter 66

17 lumberjacks cut down wood non-stop during the day, and the number of wood units exploded at a rocket-like speed, but they were quickly completely consumed, and at the same time, a huge number of gold units were also consumed.

However, under such crazy resource consumption, the wharf and shipyard in Brunei Harbor started construction day and night.

Explode the fishing boat!

Explosive battleship!

Explode the huge fleet!

At this moment, the entire Brunei harbor is full of densely packed warships, a total of [-] warships.

The sea breeze blew past, and the densely packed masts even made the sound of collapsing.

Like a giant sea monster sharpening its teeth, it makes one's scalp tingle, but gradually one's blood boils.

Even without any artillery.

But just, this number is already shocking, not to mention that there are still [-] warships outside the harbor that are still blocking the entire sea area.

This is an extremely - frightening force!

Even horror.

Although Zhu Youchen's battleship was not equipped with any artillery, the absolute advantage in numbers made it bloody even in close quarters.

Even more terrifying than a battleship loaded with artillery.

After all, compared with heavy gunboats, Zhu Youchen's warships are faster, and the ratio of soldiers on board is relatively more perfect.

Bows and arrows, javelins, spears, knives and shields are all available, and they are even more proficient in side-to-side warfare than warship soldiers of this era.

At this moment, Zhu Youchen looked at the battleship on the sea, but his face flashed with a trace of solemnity.

He can despise Morris, even the Kingdom of the Netherlands, but he cannot ignore the military power of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

This is the age of great voyages.

In this era, although land power is still valued by Western countries, the navy is actually at the forefront of the times. In order to compete for shipping routes and overseas colonies, Western countries have set very strict standards for naval warships.

Titles such as battleships and cruisers have begun to appear on the world stage.

One of the most important criteria is the number of artillery.

And the Dutch are the best among them. Their naval power radiates around the world, protecting their global commerce, and they strive for excellence in the navy.

Therefore, although there are only [-] warships, Zhu Youchen does not despise them in his heart, on the contrary, he attaches great importance to them.

"Three hundred battleships? Although the number is small, they are definitely the latest sailing warships. The artillery firepower on them is definitely not comparable to Ming's warships. A Western warship can definitely be used as three to five Daming artillery. battleships."

The reality is so cruel.

Artillery, the most powerful Hongyi cannon in Ming Dynasty at the moment, is also an obsolete product of Portugal 20 years ago, but the Dutch have long beaten the Portuguese to the north.

"Without a technological advantage, it can only be a quantitative advantage, and it must also be a crushing advantage."

There are different lands at sea, and he can withdraw from the battlefield at any time if he can't fight. If he wants to destroy the enemy with his current warships, he needs a huge number to surround and squeeze the entire battlefield from the outside.

Otherwise, no matter how many ships he has, he will be the target of artillery.

It is true that the ants in the sea battle killed the elephant, but the premise is that the elephant does not escape in advance.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youchen took a deep breath, his eyes became more and more firm, he looked up at the center of the town, and said in a sonorous tone:

"It still needs to continue to develop, continue to upgrade the level of the town center, and strive to produce system gunboats in the docks and docks as soon as possible. By then, it will definitely not be difficult to travel across the five oceans."

He also wanted to see the scene of the gunboat array bombarding each other.

I even want to see the earth-shattering scene of the real steel battleships firing their artillery salvos.

Just thinking about it is exciting.

It's just that there is still a long way to go!

Zhu Youchen ended his reverie, and refocused his eyes on the harbor in front of him.

"You have to eat one bite at a time, and you can't become fat if you eat one bite. Let's build four thousand warships first!"

Immediately, Zhu Youchen gave the construction order to the system in his mind.

"The system, in the next few days, will continue to build warships without running out of resources until four thousand warships are built."

[Ding, the battleship construction plan has been established, and the construction is under construction...]

Listening to the system's prompt in his mind, Zhu Youchen's face did not feel relaxed, but his brows tightened instead.

"Brunei Port simply cannot accommodate [-] warships, and so many warships have also affected the fishing in Brunei Port, so a new port must be established."

In an instant, Zhu Youchen began to plan in his mind.

"At this moment, Borneo is basically unable to turn over any storms. It is only a matter of time before the remaining aborigines are wiped out, and they can go to other islands."

"The country of Java is known as the country of a thousand islands. There are countless islands in its territory. There are definitely eight hundred if not one thousand. But the only valuable islands are Sumatra, Java, and Sulawesi. .”

"After completely occupying these islands, the entire Java Sea will become my inland sea, and it can even be built as a base for my future advance into the Indian Ocean."

In an instant, a bright light flashed in Zhu Youchen's eyes, and countless thoughts came to his mind, and his chest heaved when he thought of the excitement.

For a moment, they were all stunned in place.

What Zhu Youchen didn't know was that at this moment, in the port of Manila, which was more than 1000 meters away from him, the pirate group gathered by Liu Xiang had already entered the final preparations.

The black pirates are constantly strengthening the ship and repairing the deck.

Cart after cart of food and fresh water resources are constantly being transported onto the ship, and barrels of dry gunpowder are also transferred to the ship in barrels.

And the dark cannons on each ship were cleaned up by the gunners.

The busy scene simply couldn't suppress the noise in the air, as well as the tyrannical emotions that gradually piled up.

...... 0

All the pirates were eager to try, with green eyes shining on their filthy faces.

"Hahaha! A thousand battleships are definitely fat sheep. After slaughtering them, we will definitely get a lot of benefits."

"You can also loot the entire Java Island by the way. It is the territory of the Dutch, and there are definitely a lot of good things."

"Wine, women, and gold coins are not just for us to pick, hahaha!"

"Hey, Daming is the real fat sheep! Who doesn't know that the Dutch used silver to pull back Deming's gold boat by boat."

"Tomorrow! Tomorrow we will be able to kill Java, loot Java first, and then attack Daming!"

"Hahaha!!!"

A group of pirates talked about how to plunder unscrupulously, and the high volume did not make any concealment at all.

They also don't need to cover up.

On a huge Daming Fortune ship at the port, Liu Xiang was not angry at all when he heard the roars coming from around him, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, Manila has completely assembled a pirate army of more than [-], and there are more than [-] artillery warships.

This is an unprecedentedly large fleet. Liu Xiang was in it, and she didn't think that anyone in such a fleet could compete with them at sea.

Even his righteous brother Zheng Zhilong dare not come to stroke his beard at this moment.

Thinking of Zheng Zhilong, Liu Xiang's eyes flashed a trace of contempt, and even a cold light flashed, and his rough hands gradually clenched.

"When I destroy the Java fleet and attack Daming directly, I will let you, Zheng Zhilong, take a good look at how a mere commander-in-chief can surely win the ranks!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Xiang turned her head and ordered to the followers behind her: "Send the order, and all the ships will set sail immediately at dawn tomorrow!"

Chapter 67

The night passed quickly, and when the sun just jumped out of the sea level, more than 3000 pirate warships frantically rushed out of the Manila port like a tide.

Whoa! ! !

The sails blown by the sea wind swelled, and more than 3000 pirate warships spread out on the sea one by one, looking like rolling black clouds at a glance.

confusion!

Chill!

"Ugh-"

A low-pitched horn sounded from the large blessing boat that Liu Xiang was riding on. More than 3000 pirate warships unfolded like sharks smelling fishy. Various horn sounds and roars resounded across the sea. .

Countless pirates stood on the sails wielding their scimitars or chopping axes, their expressions gradually becoming fanatical and ferocious, and they kept roaring.

In the end, countless words finally converged into a single sentence of the same language.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Waves of roars covered the entire ocean, and more than 6 pirates rushed towards Zhu Youchen in Borneo on more than [-] artillery pirate ships.

With the downwind, they can reach Javanese Borneo in only two days, leaving only the last two days for Zhu Youchen...

As for Liu Xiang's fanfare, the relevant news was soon brought to Yizhou Island and the southeast coast by the maritime merchants passing through the Manila port, and also reached the ears of Zheng Zhilong, the admiral of the Fujian Navy.

In the back hall of the navy yamen, Zheng Zhilong stood up with a look of surprise, and said in astonishment: "Liu Laosan has brought three thousand warships to the south, and he will not attack Daming?"

Zheng Zhilong had a handsome appearance, and his silk Confucian robe added a touch of elegance. It was impossible for people to think that he was the leader of the pirates who controlled the Daming sea area.

It's just that Zheng Zhilong, who has been traveling across the sea for a long time and holds the power of life and death of tens of thousands of horses, naturally has a sense of majesty when he speaks, and his whole person's momentum has increased a bit.

He was not surprised by the power of Liu Xiang's [-] warships. Although there are a large number of them, the combined power of so many pirates is still a rabble.

At this moment, Zheng Zhilong relied on Daming to obtain a complete banner and organizational system, and his strength was only stronger than Liu Xiang's.

Even though Daming's navy at the moment is loose and dirty, the things left over from the Yongle period are enough to increase the strength of his subordinates. After all, the Daming fleet has gone on seven expeditions, and the experience is simply not comparable to that of pirates.

Hearing this, Zheng Zhihu, who came to report the letter, immediately replied in a rough voice: "Brother, this is absolutely true! Many sea merchants have witnessed it with their own eyes, and they are absolutely unmistakable. They have been affected by Liu Laosan for a long time. As soon as Liu Laosan left, they rushed over immediately."

After the dark-faced Zheng Zhihu finished speaking, he threw the Miao Dao at his waist on the table with a bang, untied the collar of his clothes, picked up the herbal tea on the table and poured it, feeling very uncomfortable.

But hearing this, Zheng Zhilong habitually stroked his well-groomed beard, and gradually frowned: "Do you know why you suddenly went south?"

Zheng Zhilong knew that Liu Xiang had prepared for a long time to attack Daming. If there was no reason to do it, Liu Xiang would never change his plan easily.

Moreover, with so many pirates gathered, even if Liu Xiang wanted to change his plan, the pirates he recruited would never agree.

"Liu Laosan must have a plan!"

Zheng Zhilong said with a serious face: "We must figure it out, otherwise it will affect our plan to control the Daming sea area."

Zheng Zhihu drank the herbal tea in one gulp, wiped the corners of his mouth, and smiled when he heard this. He is a big brother who is good at everything, but he thinks too much all day.

However, Zheng Zhihu also knew that Zheng Zhilong would not joke, so he immediately said: "Who the hell knows what Liu Laosan thinks. It's just a rumor that a large fleet of a thousand warships is going south, and Liu Laosan probably wants to confirm it." Give it a shot. You know he's not much more courageous than a mouse sometimes."

Zheng Zhihu said what he said, but there was no look of contempt on his face, and he was joking behind his back. Who dared to underestimate Liu Xiang, even the elder brother in front of him would not dare to underestimate Liu Xiang.

It's just that after Zheng Zhihu finished speaking, seeing Zheng Zhilong's frowning became more serious, he couldn't help but become serious, and said immediately: "Brother, don't you believe in that rumor too?"

Zheng Zhilong didn't say a word. A few days ago, he received the news that Zhu Youchen's fleet was going south, but he didn't take it to heart at all, thinking it was a rumor.

Thousands of warships.

A thousand warships, how is this possible?

This is simply impossible. Since he defeated the Guangdong Navy three years ago, the entire southeast coast is basically dominated by his family.
