Chapter 434

Outside the city, rod returned to his army with a gloomy face.

"Ambassador Rhode, it seems that your talks have collapsed. I have long said that the state of Dayu is arrogant and ignorant. It's better to use guns instead of reasoning with them." Sakai said lazily, "but it's too late. We don't have a chance."

Rod "cold hum" a, "dammit, God knows how these Qi kings can master the manufacturing technology of muskets, but you're right. The Qi kings are too arrogant and ignorant. Do they think they can defeat us Dutch in the sea if they master the muskets technology?"

"Yes, yes, let's teach them at sea." Sakai looked at the soldiers on the head of the city. These soldiers aimed their guns at them. Now they will lose the battle.

Rod turned his head and looked in the direction of Dengzhou city. He said, "I have to go back and report this to count Clare. The three conditions demanded by the king of Qi are intolerable to us Dutch."

After that, he and Sakai left Dengzhou city with the army.

At this time, Xiao Ming had climbed the wall and looked at the equipment of the Dutch army and the six pound field artillery. His brow was wrinkled. At any time, the wealth of a country can be seen from the equipment of its army.

Now all the Dutch soldiers in Dengzhou are wearing leather boots, high hats and grey cotton padded clothes. This seems to be the standard uniform of the Dutch, which proves the advanced textile industry of the Europeans.

The flint guns held by soldiers are also glossy and shining with metal luster in the sun, but this kind of steel is enough to reflect the current advanced steel technology in Europe.

On the other hand, the six six pound field guns towed by the tall horses proved the current equipment of the European army.

If two years ago, this time the Dutch brought this army enough to easily take Dengzhou city.

Putting away the telescope, Xiao Ming said to Niu Zhen, "it's time to let Yue Yun out. These Dutch will not compromise until they have seen our warships."

Niu Zhen nodded and immediately sent scouts to the bay to inform Yue Yun.

Coming down from the city wall, Xiao Ming said to Yang Chengye, "the position of Dengzhou will be very important in the future. From now on, you should start to build coastal fort to prevent the enemy from attacking us from the sea."

"Coastal Fort?" Yang Chengye looks confused, which is beyond his cognitive scope.

Xiao Ming said: you don't need to know what a coastal fort is. People from the construction camp will come here to build it. You just need to cooperate. In short, this kind of fort is for attacking warships on the sea. Do you understand? "

"Yes, your highness." Yang Chengye nodded.

In the past, the main threat was the north. Naturally, Xiao Ming wanted to concentrate all his resources on the north to resist the barbarians. But now the threat on the sea is becoming more and more serious, so he must strengthen the coastal defense of Dengzhou and strengthen the Dengzhou army.

Although the Dengzhou army has not yet been equipped with firearms, ye Qingyun often goes to Qingzhou for training. He only needs to give the firearms to the Dengzhou army, and ye Qingyun can train a firearm army.

"Your Highness, shall we pursue now?" Ye Qingyun asked when he saw Xiao Ming walking out of the city.

"No, let's see what the Dutch look like when they see our fleet." Xiao Ming said with a smile.

Niu Zhen and ye Qingyun look at each other and smile maliciously. Yue Yun's warships full of guns are frightening.

An hour later, rod led his army to the seaside, and they returned to the warships in small boats.

"Count Claire, I think our peace talks have failed. King Qi put forward that we Dutch can't tolerate the bottom line. Two of the three bottom lines are enough to give us a reason to start a war." Said rod.

While rod was ashore, Claire was waiting on the warship, holding his curled beard. Claire asked, "what's the condition?"

Rod then said Xiao Ming's original words, and Clare's face became worse and worse with rod's words. He said: "this stupid king of Qi, doesn't he know that the colony is the continuation of a national territory? His demand is to wage war on us. "

"Dear count Clare, because of this, I chose to refuse. Not to mention the colony, this trade route is our life line in Holland. For the route, we fight with the Spanish, the British and the French. We Dutch are fearless." Rod said impulsively.

Claire patted rod on the shoulder. "You've done a good job. The people who ask us Dutch for this should humiliate him."

Sakai's eyes swam back and forth on rod and Claire, with a smile on his mouth.

He has been a pirate at sea for many years, and has been to many places with a Dutch pirate, so he is very familiar with the style of these Europeans.

In his view, these Europeans have a kind of frenzy of risk-taking, which is supported by the wealth of the world.

Unless they are defeated, nothing can stop these Europeans who are crazy about plundering wealth, because they are more crazy than pirates.Just like the Europeans he knew, after learning of the conditions put forward by the king of Qi, rod and Claire were in a rage, because Ryukyu and the route belonged to the Dutch trading company, and both Claire and rod were important stakeholders of Ryukyu and the route.

Even the soldiers of this fleet depend on Ryukyu and this route for their livelihood. He remembers that in Holland, this is called stock.

"Go to war! Go to war!"

Immediately after Clare, the soldiers on the warship began to clamor, shouting with their flintlocks.

"Throw these natives into the sea and feed them to the sharks."

"Let's see what we're good at."

“……”

The frenzy began to spread on the ship, and Clare and the soldiers cried out: "soldiers, these natives want to take our wealth from us. Tell me, what will you do?"

"Kill them all! Kill them all

The soldiers roared.

Clare held his hat high and yelled, "let's use artillery fire to tell these aborigines how they should talk to us. Let's..."

"Enemy situation, enemy situation!"

When the soldiers fell into a frenzy, the Dutch soldier on the watchtower suddenly pointed to the northern sea area and cried out, which interrupted Claire's passionate speech.

Claire looked up at the soldiers on the top of the mast, and immediately went to the bow with a telescope. Rod also drew out his telescope to look at the North Sea.

In Claire's telescope, fifteen warships were coming towards them in a row. The three decks of the first warship were huge, followed by class II warships and class III warships, followed by some small warships.

"God, who can tell me what's going on?" Claire's in the ice.
