ps: There are only three chapters tonight, and there is one chapter around ten o’clock. The snails really can’t stand the code word for staying up late. I have some headaches and fever these two days. I can only insist on writing one more chapter. I owe you a chapter this time. When the snail gets better, the snail will make up. Sorry, please forgive me. ?W≥W≤W≤. ≥8≈1≥Z≈W≠. ≥Ｃ≥Ｏ≠Ｍ≠

"Your Highness! Your Highness!"

Yang Chengye trot all the way to the first-class sailing warship, with a trace of anxiety on his face.

Xiao Ming and Yue Yun were excited. Seeing Yang Chengye look at each other, they had an unclear premonition in their hearts.

Before reaching the first-class battleship, Yang Chengye also climbed up. He seemed not in the mood to care about the battleship but said: "His Royal Highness, something has happened. The fishermen from Dashi Village came to report. They saw a group of strange-looking people while fishing at sea. People, and their ship is somewhat similar to our Galen ship."

"Strange people?" Xiao Ming and Yue Yun were startled, and Xiao Ming asked, "What do they look like?"

"They were all tall, with red heads, and they were shooting at them with muskets. Three fishermen who were fishing were injured, and they wore three-color horizontal banners."

"What color is the flag?"

"The top is red, the middle is white, and the bottom is blue." Yang Chengye recalled what the fisherman said.

"His Royal Highness, this is undoubtedly the Dutch." Yue Yun said nervously: "If they found our military port, it would be troublesome. The Dutch had just defeated the King of Chu and came to Dengzhou at this time.

Xiao Ming's face was a little gloomy. The distance from Ryukyu Island to Dengzhou was a full 1,500 kilometers. The Dutch warships appeared in Dengzhou at this time, naturally, not for tourism.

There is only one explanation. There are things related to the interests of the Dutch. He believes that the Dutch are not passing by.

"King Chu!"

Xiao Ming said the name lightly. Li Wei told him about the King Chu’s meeting with the Dutch envoy. He didn’t know what King Chu and the Dutch had said, but after defeating King Chu, the Dutch appeared in Dengzhou. There must be some tricks.

After thinking about it for a moment, Xiao Ming suddenly realized that Li Wei said that the Dutch forced King Chu to buy matchlocks when they defeated King Chu's fleet. In the past, King Chu wanted to buy it by himself. Now he is forced to tell the Dutch. He has cheaper matching gun purchases.

At this time, he would definitely speak out about himself.

After clarifying his thoughts, Xiao Ming said: "Now we will send out fishing boats along the coast to investigate the situation at sea and monitor the location of the Dutch. Also, few people know the location of the bay, and the Dutch don’t know it, but just in case. , Yue Yun, you are now leading the three warships to guard the perimeter of the bay."

"Yes, Your Highness." Yue Yun's expression cooled down, now only the previous three battleships were loaded with artillery.

If the Dutch are charged into the bay, the newly launched warships will be all gone. For him, these warships are his life, and he must not let this happen.

After arranging these two events, Xiao Ming lost the mood to continue watching the warship. He and Yang Chengye got off the ship together, and while walking towards the shore, he said, "The Dutch and the Japanese have close contacts. Clearly, but some Japanese pirates in Dengzhou City are very familiar. In order to prevent accidents, the Dengzhou Army immediately enters the city for defense."

Ye Qingyun said bitterly, "His Royal Highness, these Dutch people have muskets. Now the Dengzhou Army still uses bows, arrows and swords. How can you fight the Dutch?"

Frowning, Xiao Ming said: "This king knows that you generals have opinions about this king's preference for the Qingzhou army, but it is not the time to say this. It is not that you are not equipped with muskets, but the production of muskets takes time. After Youzhou Army, it will be your Dengzhou Army."

Ye Qingyun smirked when Xiao Ming saw through it, "His Royal Highness really has eyes like a torch, and you can see the end of the general's mind at a glance. OK, only with the words of His Highness, the soldiers of the Dengzhou Army feel at ease. Soldiers will be called into the city now."

Xiao Ming nodded, but he really didn’t expect the Dengzhou Army to fight against the Dutch. After all, the Dutch at this stage were not the Dengzhou Army to deal with, and there was no cavalry in Dengzhou. Infantry vs. infantry, his plate armor There is no advantage.

"Other than that, you immediately sent Starry Night to Qingzhou, and Niu Ben immediately sent the Qingzhou Army to Dengzhou." Xiao Ming continued.

Ye Qingyun nodded and went ashore, he immediately urged the horse to head to Dengzhou Daying.

Yang Chengye said at this time: "His Royal Highness, Dengzhou is so dangerous now. Please don't enter the city and stay in the bay. Otherwise, if your Royal Highness makes a mistake, the official will be blamed for death."

Xiao Ming said: "Now that everything is unclear, let's not be so pessimistic for the time being. The Dutch will be afraid to know that the king has a musket. By the way, where is Dashi Village?"

Yang Chengye said: "Dashi Village is on the opposite direction of the bay, about one hundred and fifty miles away from Dengzhou City."

"If you say that, the Dutch fleet should soon be blocking the beach outside Dengzhou." Xiao Ming was a little worried.

Thirty miles from Dengzhou, this bay is hidden behind two huge reefs. The two reefs rising to the sky are like the gates of the bay. Speaking of which, this harbor is still very hidden.

After setting out the important tasks of the moment, Yang Chengye immediately returned to Dengzhou City. Now Dengzhou City needs him to sit in, while Xiao Ming stays in the bay to watch the changes.

Now he can only pray that Chen Qi's artillery and Qingzhou army will be in place soon, otherwise the year-long preparations may be in vain at any time.

That night, Xiao Ming stayed in the military port. At noon the next day, the Dengzhou Army's scouts heard news that the Dutch fleet was docked on the sea just north of Dengzhou City. About a thousand people were wearing grey uniforms and carrying them. Dutch soldiers with muskets took a boat to the beach.

At the same time, there were about two thousand Japanese pirates who followed the Dutch ashore. Under the guidance of the Japanese pirates, the Dutch were marching towards Dengzhou City.

"The Japanese pirates and the Dutch?" The situation that Xiao Ming was least willing to see appeared.

During the Great Colonial era, Western countries would never rule the colonies solely by their own power, because the colonies naturally had natives willing to be running dogs to assist them in their rule ~lightnovelpub.net~ This is similar to the rule of the barbarians.

According to the news he received, the Dutch had 10,000 troops, but Xiao Ming guessed that the real Dutchman would not exceed 3,000.

Now this news proves his guess from the side.

This is good news for him, but there is also bad news. Now it seems that the Dutch are focusing on supporting the Japanese, and with the Japanese urinary sex, the Dutch must be very happy at this time.

Otherwise, the Dutch could not appear outside Dengzhou City together with the Japanese pirates.

"Four thousand people." Xiao Ming calculated the strength of the Dengzhou Army.

Since Jiangjungang was established here, he has allowed the Dengzhou Army to expand, and the number of the Dengzhou Army is now 10,000.

It's just that now that these ten thousand people are facing four thousand pure firearms troops, Xiao Ming also has no confidence.
