"Haha, you bandits are really not that thick-skinned."
Zhu Dinghai shouted from the side.
He was disgusted by these shameless red-haired devils.
You can still be so confident when you occupy other people's territory.
The city walls in Fuzhou may not be as thick-skinned as these red-haired devils!
"Send off the guests." Zhu Dinghai waved his hand and led the group of red-haired devils out.
"Arrogant Akito, you will definitely regret it." William Orlando, knowing that he could no longer stop the fight, shouted while glaring at his legs.
"Master Xiong, you must have noticed Xiyi's ambition. If you want to protect the face of the Celestial Empire, you can only tell them who is the boss here with your fists.
Mr. Zhu should go back as soon as possible to make preparations. Three days later, the army will set off to recover Taiwan. "
"Sir, the food and grass supplies have been prepared, but Fuzhou has not seen a war for a long time. These soldiers..."
"Don't worry, I also brought 1,000 elite soldiers, plus the 10,000 soldiers from Fuzhou, which is enough."
Know yourself and your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger.
Although there is still a certain gap between the Ming Dynasty and the Xi Yi in terms of navy, the intelligence capabilities around the Ming Dynasty are more than ten miles ahead of the Xi Yi.
Qiming Chamber of Commerce seems to be a simple chamber of commerce.
But actually? With the Qiming Chamber of Commerce's overseas transactions, Ming's intelligence system continues to take root in Southeast Asia.
Although there is no top-secret information yet, Zhu Dinghai still knows something about the situation of Xiyi in Southeast Asia.
For Taiwan, which will be recovered next.
The corresponding information has already been piled up in a large room.
Under normal circumstances, the Dutch only had about 1,000 troops left in Taiwan. In order to achieve greater results after this battle, the Dutch temporarily sent additional troops to Taiwan. But there are only 2,000 people.
Even if the Dutch increase their troops again, only 3,000 people will be able to survive.
Less than half of the troops sent by Ming Dynasty this time.
Although the opponent is protected by Lingbao, Zhu Dinghai has super invincible general artillery in his hands.
As long as you knock off the opponent's fort, you can level the opponent's fortress even with a grenade bombardment.
..
From the beginning, Zhu Dinghai did not include the combat strength of Fuzhou's 10,000 soldiers.
If it weren't for the coming battles in the Ming Dynasty, there would be no less battles. These soldiers need to be exposed to the world in advance, so Zhu Dinghai will not take these people to play.
As the order was issued, all the Ming officials in Zhangzhou, Quanzhou and Fuzhou were mobilized.
Carloads of supplies were pulled out of the warehouse. Escorted by soldiers, the ship had already docked on the shore and was waiting.
In various ports, exploration ships spread out far away, and the soldiers on the forts rotated in three shifts. Beware of sneak attacks.
The soldiers and horses have not moved, but the food and grass go first.
People are like iron, and rice is like steel. If you don't eat one meal, you will feel hungry. If you don't eat for two days, it doesn't matter who you are, the Emperor.
The war is fought with resources.
With an army of tens of thousands, the daily consumption of food starts at 10,000 kilograms. Coupled with the consumption of fresh water, vegetables, and fuel, the entire army consumes no less than 100,000 kilograms of supplies every day.
Although sea transportation consumes less.
But compared with land transportation, the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, it is quite unstable.
The sea is ruthless. Who knows, when will there be a typhoon or heavy rain?
Even the giant steel ships of later generations are so powerless in the face of nature.
Not to mention today’s wooden boats.
In this case, it is necessary to reserve as much supplies as possible to ensure the army's ability to cope with risks.
Although Zhu Dinghai was confident that he could defeat the Lingbao built by Xiyi in Taiwan within 5 days, he wanted stability in everything, so why not use this to bring supplies for the past 15 days just in case.
...
Three days passed in a flash, and without much sensational nonsense, Zhu Dinghai set off on the journey with a large army.
Taiwan.
Although the Dutch governor of Taiwan may have entered the belly of a fish due to the previous war, the Dutch in Taiwan did not panic.
William Orondo took over the command of the city of Jeranja.
William Orondo, who knew that war was inevitable, sent William Orlando with an envoy to the Ming Dynasty to seek peace. Trying to delay the pace of Ming's attack.
On the other hand, before the Ming army arrived, they asked for help from other Dutch people in East Asia, and at the same time plundered the supplies of the surrounding people.
At the same time, local people were instructed to seize the time to build fortifications.
When the spies heard about the crazy loading of supplies at various ports in the Ming Dynasty, William Orondo knew that this battle was inevitable.
"Everyone can withdraw."
As William Orondo's order was issued, all the Dutch were withdrawing to the city of Geranje in an orderly manner.
A large amount of supplies were brought back together.
"Sir, the statistics of these supplies have not been completed yet, but judging from the supplies we have currently counted, the food is enough for us to last for two years. The gunpowder is slightly less, but it is still enough for us to last for one year."
"Kick out all irrelevant personnel."
In the past, in order to ensure that merchants from the dynasty could come here to conduct transactions,
The Dutch are very reputation-conscious.
Although I looked down on these Ming businessmen in my heart, I didn't show it. Nor did he specifically target Ming merchants.
But now the war is coming.
In order to avoid the Ming army's internal and external cooperation and increase the material consumption of the Ming army, William Orondo could only clean up the God of Wealth.
"Why fight? Isn't it just a deserted island? What's there to fight for? Why don't we start drinking tea and talking about business and making money together?"
Countless Dutch people complained.
They come all the way for money, not for war.
Now that the war is going on, they can only stay here and don't know how many gold coins they will lose.
"Damn Akito."
"I really hope that the people of the Ming Dynasty will just sink to the bottom of the sea."
....
Countless Dutch people in the city of Geranje kept cursing the Ming Dynasty.
In their view, Ming Dynasty's move cut off their financial resources.
They have indeed forgotten that Taiwan is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and they are the invaders.
"What are you doing? Your governor has worked with me, how dare you come here to make trouble." A Ming Dynasty businessman looked at the Dutchman in front of him and angrily yelled.
Porcelain, silk, and tea from the Ming Dynasty were all best-selling products in the West.
The Dutch were a dominant force at sea, but on land they were still the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Because they occupied Ming Dynasty territory, the Dutch were not popular on the mainland.
In order to obtain more porcelain and silk, every governor of Taiwan tried his best to maintain relationships with Ming Dynasty merchants.
Even sometimes. They will also favor Ming merchants.
This also led to the fact that the people of the Ming Dynasty still had confidence here.
"Get out!" I saw the Dutch soldier, directly raising the butt of his gun and giving it a shot.
If William Orondo hadn't repeatedly emphasized not to kill anyone, this Dutchman would have sent him to see Jesus.
