Chapter 429

PS: there are only three chapters tonight, and there is another chapter about ten o'clock. The snail can't stand the continuous code. He has a headache and fever these two days, so he can only insist on writing another chapter. The snail remembers that he owes you a chapter last time. When the snail gets better, he will make it up. I'm sorry, please understand.

"Your Highness! Your highness

Yang Chengye trotted all the way to the first class sail warship, with a trace of anxiety on his face.

Xiao Ming and Yue Yun are excited. When they see Yang Chengye like this, they look at each other. They have some foreboding in their hearts.

When he got to the first class warship, Yang Chengye also climbed up. He didn't seem to be in the mood to care about the warship. Instead, he said, "Your Highness, there's an accident. Some fishermen from Dashi village came to report. They met a group of strange looking people when they were fishing at sea, and their boat is similar to ours."

"Strange man?" Xiao Ming and Yue Yun were shocked. Xiao Ming asked, "what do they look like?"

"They were tall, with red hair, and they were shooting at them with guns. Three fishermen were injured, and they were wearing tricolor banners."

"What color is the flag?"

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

"Your Highness, this is the Dutch, no doubt." Yue Yun said nervously: "if they find our military port, it will be a trouble. The Dutch just defeated the king of Chu, and they will come to Dengzhou at this time. It must be a bad comer."

Xiao Ming's face was a little gloomy. The distance between Ryukyu Island and Dengzhou was 1500 kilometers. Naturally, the Dutch warship didn't appear in Dengzhou for tourism.

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

"King of Chu!"

Xiao Ming reads the name softly. Li Wei tells him about the king of Chu's meeting with the Dutch emissary. He doesn't know what the king of Chu said to the Dutch, but after defeating the king of Chu, the Dutch appear in Dengzhou. There must be something fishy about it.

After thinking about it carefully, Xiao Ming suddenly realized that Li Wei had said that the Dutch forced the king of Chu to buy firecrackers when they defeated the fleet of the king of Chu. In the past, the king of Chu wanted to buy firecrackers by himself, but now he was forced. It must be the king of Chu who told the Dutch that he had cheaper firecrackers to buy.

At this time, he will certainly say himself.

After sorting out the train of thought, Xiao Ming said: "now immediately send the coastal fishing boats to investigate the situation at sea and monitor the location of the Dutch. In addition, few people know the location of the Bay, and the Dutch are not clear. But just in case, Yue Yun, you are leading three warships to guard outside the bay."

"Yes, your highness." Yue Yun's look cooled down, and now only three previous warships are loaded with artillery.

If the Dutchman fills the Bay, all the newly launched warships will be finished. For him, these warships are his life. He must not let this happen.

After arranging these two things, Xiao Ming was not in the mood to continue to watch the warship. He and Yang Chengye got off the ship together and walked toward the shore. He said: "the Dutch have close contact with the Japanese. They don't know about the Bay, but some Japanese pirates in Dengzhou city are very familiar with it. In order to prevent accidents, the Dengzhou army immediately enters the city to defend."

Ye Qingyun complained: "Your Highness, these Dutch have muskets. Now the Dengzhou army is still armed with bows, arrows and swords. How can they fight with the Dutch?"

With a frown, Xiao Ming said, "I know that you generals have different opinions about my preference for Qingzhou army, but now is not the time to say that. It's not that I don't equip you with muskets, but the production of muskets takes time. After Youzhou army, you'll be the Dengzhou Army."

Ye Qingyun's mind was immediately giggled by Xiao Ming. "Your Highness is really smart. You can see the mind of the general at a glance. OK, only with your Highness's words, the soldiers of Dengzhou army will feel comfortable. The general will call the soldiers 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 able to deal with the Dengzhou army, and there were no cavalry in Dengzhou, and his plate armour didn't have any advantage in infantry versus infantry.

"In addition, you immediately send people to Qingzhou, let Niu Zhen immediately send Qingzhou army to Dengzhou." Xiao Ming continued.

Ye Qingyun nodded and went ashore. He immediately urged his horse to the direction of Dengzhou camp.

Yang Chengye then said: "Your Highness, Dengzhou is so dangerous now. Please don't enter the city. Just stay in the bay. Otherwise, if your highness makes a mistake, you will be responsible for your death."

Xiao Ming said: "now everything is not clear. Don't be so pessimistic for the moment. The Dutch will be afraid when they know that Wang has a firegun. By the way, where is Dashi village?"

"Dashi village is in the opposite direction of the Bay, about 150 miles away from Dengzhou City," Yang said

"In that case, the Dutch fleet should be close to the beach outside Denver." Xiao Ming is a little worried.

The bay is thirty miles away from Dengzhou. It is hidden behind two huge reefs. The two rising reefs are just like the gate of the bay. In a word, the harbor is very hidden.Yang Chengye immediately returned to Dengzhou city. Now Dengzhou city needs him, 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 one year's preparation may be in vain at any time.

That night, Xiao Ming stayed in the military harbor. At noon the next day, the Scouts of the Dengzhou army heard that the Dutch fleet was berthing on the sea just north of Dengzhou city. About 1000 Dutch soldiers in gray uniforms and carrying guns took a boat to the beach.

At the same time, about 2000 Japanese pirates followed the Dutch ashore. Under the guidance of the Japanese pirates, the Dutch were heading for Dengzhou city.

"Pirates and Dutch?" What Xiao Ming didn't want to see happened.

In the great colonial era, the western countries never ruled the colonies only by their own strength, because there were naturally aborigines who were willing to help them rule.

This is the same as the rule of barbarians.

He got the news that the Dutch had 10000 troops, but Xiao Ming guessed that the real Dutch would not exceed 3000.

Now the 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 urine of the Japanese, they must be very happy to lick the Dutch at this time.

Otherwise, the Dutch could not make peace with the Japanese pirates and appear outside Dengzhou.

"Four thousand." Xiao Ming calculated the strength of the Dengzhou army.

Since the establishment of jiangjungang here, he let the Dengzhou army expand. Now the number of Dengzhou army is 10000.

But now that the 10000 men are against the 4000 pure firearms troops, Xiao Ming is not confident.
