For a moment, the Dutch in Batavia were exhausted and immediately fell into a sea of ​​carnival.

Su Minggang and others held up banners in front of the Governor's Office, but they were still useless and were driven away by a stick by the Dutch.

At this moment, Su Minggang couldn't figure it out. He was written clearly in Dutch characters, so why did he still receive such treatment?

What exactly do the Dutch want to do?

Some young people were desperate, and the Dutch didn't give them any way to live, just to keep them here and then bully them to death.

When they were about to propose that it would be better to fight again, they saw the Dutch carnival. When they learned that another Dutch warship had arrived, they felt like they were poured with cold water on their heads: How can they resist this?

……………………

In the Governor's Office, all the Dutch leaders gathered together and shouted in front of Governor Anthony.

"Governor General, the time for depression has passed, it's time for us to counterattack!"

"Yes, Governor General, the profits of the coastal areas of Ming Kingdom cannot compare to any goods sold!"

"To let these Eastern monkeys know that it's not that we can't beat them, it's just because we're too far away from our homeland!"

"That's right, they're just close, with a lot of people and a lot of ships!"

"If you want me to tell me, just enter the Ming Kingdom. Isn't it meant that you go up the coast and be closest to the capital of the Ming Kingdom? We will land wherever we can catch their dog emperor!"

"That's right, it's better to turn Ming into a colony of our Dutch people than Batavia!"

“…”

Anthony also listened with a smile, and did not care about their yelling at all without a gentlemanly demeanor. In fact, at this time, he was also filled with joy.

This Batavia also devoted his efforts. It can even be said that under the rule of the previous generation of governors, they did not make much money and were all building Batavia.

When he was under his rule, he was building Batavia for many years. When he finally built the same place and began to export a lot of money to his country, how could he be willing to be beaten back by the Ming army?

Now, the port of Batavia is full of Dutch ships. Even if the smoked warships in Ming Kingdom are more powerful, Anthony will not be afraid.

After enjoying a while of joy, he clapped his palms, signaled his subordinates to be quiet, and then returned to his serious expression and said to his subordinates: "I have to admit that the Ming Dynasty's warships and artillery are indeed stronger than before, and it can even be said that they are more powerful than our warships and artillery. Fortunately, there are not many such smoke-producing warships. Therefore, when we have a large number of warships, we can fight more and defeat the Ming Dynasty's navy!"

After a pause, he immediately added: "In order to minimize the losses, we must think of a game to lure the Ming navy in Luzon into a trap and destroy the Ming navy there first."

When he heard what he said, although some of his subordinates thought that their Governor was too cautious, wouldn't he be able to hit him directly?

But on the surface, they all flattered them.

One thing they also admit is that their Governor Anthony is a wise man who can convince the public.

There was a lively momentum in the Governor's Office, and suddenly, the "clang" gong sounded.

These Dutch people were stunned for a moment when they heard this.

The sound of Batavia's gongs only sounded more than ten years ago. At that time, the local indigenous king led a hundred thousand troops to attack Batavia. However, now, the indigenous country has been defeated, and the king who led the troops to attack that year is also finished.

It was really surprising that the sound of the gong that I hadn't heard in so many years.

When they came to their senses, they immediately realized that it was probably the Ming navy who had been called.

Because they have been worried about this for several years.

If they knew that the Ming Navy had been sent before the reinforcements arrived, they would definitely be worried. But now, after they came to their senses, they were all so excited that they were all so excited.

Sure enough, someone came to Anthony soon and reported to him that the Ming Navy appeared on the sea and was coming here.

When they heard this news, the Dutch leaders present shouted and asked for a fight.

"Governor General, hurry up and order to destroy all the invading Ming Navy!"

"Just thinking about destroying them, they actually came to their door!"

"Kill all the Eastern Monkeys!"

“…”

Anthony did not hesitate and immediately ordered all warships in the port to go out to sea to fight.

In addition to the small number of smoke-producing warships in the Ming Dynasty, they were not afraid of the wind direction and acted quickly, most of the warships were blessed ships, and they were no match for sailing warships in terms of the mobility of warships. On the vast sea, sailing warships could play their greatest advantage and offset the advantages of Ming Dynasty artillery.

After the order was issued, these Dutch leaders all rushed out of the Governor's Office to teach the invading Ming Navy a lesson.

Anthony himself hurried to the city on the seaside of Batavia to watch the battle. At the same time, of course, he did not forget to impose martial law in Batavia.

……………………

When the gong sounded, the Ming people in Batavia were very surprised.

After many years, the natives have been beaten to death, why did they suddenly come back?

Most of them think so. The older ones had participated in that war back then.

And now, Batavia is the strongest here and is actually attacked again, which surprised them very much.

However, no matter how they thought, they never thought that it would be the army of the court who came over and was wondering when martial law came, and all the Ming people were driven away and they were not allowed to leave their residence for half a step.

So they could only guess at the gathering place, what was going on?

………………………………………

After Anthony arrived at the city wall, he immediately used a telescope to observe the enemy situation.

Sure enough, it came from the Ming Navy warship. The first impression was that the number of warships of the Ming Navy was not as large as imagined.

All along, in the East, Ming warships fought in large numbers. The number this time was not as large as expected, which made Anthony breathe a sigh of relief.

However, after he looked closely at the situation of the Qingming Navy, he was immediately shocked again.

Because the first time he saw it, he was attracted by a warship from the Ming Kingdom.

It’s really too big to attract attention. Moreover, under the sunlight, it reflects a metallic luster. It is very likely that this huge warship is still made of iron!

How could the Ming Kingdom have such a warship?

Anthony's heart suddenly sank.

Not only that, he immediately discovered that although the Ming warships invaded were less than eighty, including this "big master", the key to the problem was that all of these eighty warships had a strange chimney. This means that these warships were all smoke warships.

Sure enough, when Anthony was thinking about this, the Ming Navy must have seen the Dutch fleet going out to sea to fight, and the Ming warships began to smoke one after another. Even the "big master" began to smoke.

At this moment, he was really shocked.

According to the information he had, during the Battle of the Grand Masters, there were only four such smoked warships in the Ming Dynasty. When they attacked Luzon, they didn't seem to have heard much. But in the past few years, they have become all smoked warships?

The financial and material resources of Ming Kingdom immediately shocked Anthony!

The other Dutch people, who knew that the smoke warships were powerful, were stunned. The Dutch warships that had just arrived in Southeast Asia did not care at all, and even came to meet them excitedly.

As for such a large iron-armored warship, it must be very bulky, and many ants will bite you to death.

Anthony on the city wall had no joy of arrival at all, and watched the decisive battle of the sea warships with fear.

God blessed, the Ming Dynasty warships were not as powerful as the legendary ones. They just relied on the number of ships.

"Boom boom boom..."

With the sound of cannons, the Battle of Batavia began.

The Dutch had no choice but to retreat, and almost all the warship forces were put into the battlefield at one time, hoping to win the victory of this war with more and less.

However, it is possible that their God did not follow the East and did not bless them.

Shortly after the war began, the situation of the naval battle quickly became clear.

The huge iron-armored warship in Ming Dynasty was very conspicuous. It could be said that it ignored the Dutch warships rushing around. Not only did it use the fierce artillery on its ship to bombard the Dutch warships, but it even directly hit the Dutch warships, biting the formation of the Dutch fleet in battle. It was like a fierce lion, rushing into the flock of sheep and killing wantonly.

Even if the Dutch warship hit this "big Mac", it basically only knocked out large pits on the hull, causing the iron bomb to hit the ground and concave it.

However, if the mast on the ship is hit, it will still be damaged. But even so, the Ming warship still moves freely.

The Dutch were also coachmen at sea after all, and soon discovered that the power of the Ming army's smoked warships mainly came from paddle wheels on both sides of the hull.

Although it is protected by armor, it can still be destroyed if it is bombarded at close range.

However, although they realized this, they could not achieve it at all.

Beside this "big mage", there are also covers of other Ming warships. It can be said that Ming warships are combat tactics revolving around the "big mage" warships. With support, it is even more difficult to hit the vital point.

It took only half an hour to start the war, and Anthony on the top of the city was desperate. He was from an admiral and could tell at a glance what the result would be!

It's really a pity that I thought I could fight the Ming army if I came to reinforcements, but this ended up being the result.

So he quickly raised the banner and ordered the Dutch warships to retreat. At the same time, he quickly ordered the Dutch people around him.
Chapter completed!
