Chapter 432

Gusts of sea breeze mixed with a hint of salty taste from the sea.

Ye Qingyun's words made rod silent.

Whether to wait for six days is a difficult question, because he knows that six days is enough time for reinforcements to arrive here.

Once the reinforcements arrive, it is impossible to predict whether the owners of this land will choose to talk or fight.

But there are not many options now. The artillery at the head of the city has proved that this place is special. He must know this place in time to formulate the next strategy.

So he said, "well, we are willing to wait for six days. I hope I can see the king of Qi in six days."

With that, rod waved and directed the Dutch army to retreat.

"Ambassador rod, we're going back to the sea?" Sakai looked at the Dutch soldiers who began to evacuate to the beach and asked.

"Yes, our purpose here is not to fight, but to find out about the problem of the muskets. Moreover, the artillery at the head of the city proves that this place is very dangerous. We can't risk provoking an unknown enemy." Said rod.

Sakai shrugged when he heard the words, but he murmured "coward" in his heart

Though dissatisfied, Sakai still retreated with the Dutch beach. When he left, he reluctantly looked at Dengzhou city. If he captured the city to build a stronghold, Yamada's plan would be easier to implement.

The army under the city retreated to the sea. Ye Qingyun was relieved. He immediately sent someone to the bay to inform the king of Qi about the incident.

"The Dutch want to see the king?"

Yang Chengye followed the scouts to the bay.

"That's right, your highness. We said that your highness would arrive in four days, and the Dutch really withdrew. In the opinion of the following officials, the purpose of the Dutch is not to fight us." Yang Chengye said.

Xiao Ming nodded, he said: "this is a wise choice, it seems that this group of Dutch just to find out the truth of the king."

In Xiao Ming's view, it was because the Dutch were weak that they would rashly fight against the king of Chu, so as to stop his military adventure. The king of Chu could not see through this, but he could see through it.

Not to mention the era of windsurfing warships, even the era of steamships, it is extremely difficult to deliver troops across half the world.

Therefore, the Dutch are very clear that they will not have reinforcements, and once they fail in East Asia, they will completely withdraw from the region.

Yang Chengye had no idea of the Dutch or the Netherlands at all. He then asked, "Your Highness, no matter what the Dutch are thinking, as long as the Qingzhou army arrives, we don't have to be afraid of them."

"That's right. In that case, when the Qingzhou army arrives, Wang will meet the Dutch ambassador and see what they want." Xiao Ming said that the arrival of the Dutchman was the first collision between him and foreign civilizations.

When he decided to meet with the Dutch, Xiao Ming stayed in the Bay and waited for reinforcements to arrive. The next day, twenty merchant ships loaded with guns entered the military harbor, the first batch of guns from the military workshop.

Yue Yun was very excited when he saw the artillery arrive. He immediately transported the artillery and ammunition to the warship with the soldiers to equip them. Without the naval gun, the Galen ship is nothing but a toothless tiger. Now the naval gun on the ship is a real tiger.

This time, the first batch of naval guns, more than 300 in total, will arrive in succession.

But even these 300 guns are enough to arm five or six small galleons, that's enough.

In the next few days, the artillery of the military workshop arrived one after another, and twelve galleons were loaded with naval guns one after another.

And Niu Zhen also led the Qingzhou army to follow the merchant ships to the Gulf.

"Your Highness, we can go to war at any time."

After the naval gun hoisting, Yue Yun said excitedly.

Niu Zhen basically understood the source of the crisis at this time, he said: "Your Highness, the war supply is the top priority, now the Dutch laboring expedition can not be our opponent, just need to win Ryukyu, the Dutch will interrupt the supply, and the failure is not far away."

When the armed Qingzhou army arrived, Xiao Ming was no longer worried about the safety of Dengzhou city. He said: "it's not the time to start a war. The Netherlands came here for money. They won't fight with us rashly. This time, the Dutch Ambassador proposed that this is the purpose of the negotiation. Just show our strength to the Dutch, and they will understand what choice to make. ”

"Your Highness, this is a soldier who is ready to surrender without fighting." Niu Zhen said with a hearty smile, "Your Highness is still thoughtful. As long as you can talk about it, why start a war?"

Xiao Ming nodded with a smile and said, "let's go. Today is the appointed day. Let's meet the Dutch ambassador."

After leaving the temporary residence in the military port, Xiao Ming and Niu Zhen set out for Dengzhou city.

In the military harbor, ten thousand Qingzhou soldiers are gathering. They are lined up with shining flint guns. At the command of Niu Zhen, the soldiers follow Xiao Ming and his party to Dengzhou city.

And Yue Yun and other navy soldiers also boarded the warships, ready to attack at any time.As agreed, rod arrived outside Dengzhou on time. Unlike last time, he was allowed to enter Dengzhou this time.

Entering Dengzhou City, rod's eyes soon showed contempt. In his eyes, this city is much poorer than any other city in Holland.

However, his contempt soon turned into panic. When he arrived at the middle of the city, suddenly a large number of soldiers with guns poured into the wall of the east gate from the west gate of the city.

"God, this is a flint gun. How can it be?"

Rod couldn't believe his eyes. He rubbed them and looked again. There was no mistake. The guns on these soldiers' backs were indeed flint guns.

At this moment, rod's heart sank. Although flint guns had already been popular in the military in Europe, the appearance of flint guns in such a backward area was enough to shock him.

Just when he was surprised, suddenly a sound of horse hoof came, and a group of people appeared in front of him on horseback.

"Ambassador rod, the man in front of you is our royal highness of the king of Qi." Ye Qingyun said in a loud voice.

Rod looked at a young man at the head. He couldn't believe that such a young man was the king of a piece of land.

He took off his hat and made a noble ceremony to Xiao Ming, saying, "Your Highness, I salute you on behalf of count Clare."

Xiao Ming's eyes turned around on rod. He was a typical European and well-dressed. Then he came down from his horse and said to rod, "ambassador rod, I heard that you want to see our king. I don't know what you Dutch have to do with our king. Do you want to sign an unequal treaty with us like our king and the king of Chu?"
