RNP Chapter 164
Chapter 164
Governor Yiyi was very calm, he thought that the officers and soldiers of the Daming Imperial Court did not dare to come to Baodao at all.
The fortress of the treasure island can definitely easily resist the attack of the Ming army.
"Zheng Zhikui, don't worry!"
"Daming can't take our treasure island!"
"Don't go back, I heard that the Zheng Family Water Division has been completely destroyed!"
Yiyi's words made Zheng Zhikui burst into tears instantly.
"How do you know?"
"This is the flying pigeon transmission from our sea scout, you see!"
Zheng Zhikui looked at the intelligence, and the whole person ~ petrified.
"Isn't it? Master Zheng Jiashui didn't work hard for half a day, and they all perished-? "
The governor frowned and asked in a low voice: "Master Zheng Jia, with its numerical superiority, he defeated the colonial ships of our Dutch colonial army!" "
"Why did you get wiped out by the imperial court's navy master in half a day?"
"As far as I know, isn't the navy master of the imperial court very weak?"
Zheng Zhikui waved his hand again and again: "No, no, no, can the imperial court master be called weak?" "
"They set out now and destroy all the warships of your Kingdom of the Netherlands without blinking!"
Zheng Zhikui's words made the governor stunned.
"What? Are you kidding? "
"Your sea scout schoon, didn't the flying pigeon legend tell you that the Daming Royal Navy, at least thousands of warships, most of them are three-masted warships and Dafuku ships!"
"How many warships do you have on Treasure Island?"
"A few three-masted warships came a few days ago, and now there are fifteen in total!"
"These fifteen ships are inferior to a fleet of the Royal Navy!"
What?
A fleet is inferior?
How can it be?
Koichi couldn't believe his ears.
"Brother Zheng, can you tell me more about the Daming Royal Navy?"
"More than half a year ago, I haven't seen the Daming Imperial Court set up any royal navy!"
Zheng Zhikui said what he had heard about continuously: "Lord Governor, I heard that Chongzhen formed the Daming Royal Navy, a total of ten fleets, except for the first fleet on Phi Island, the other nine fleets are all here!" "
"The most important thing is a fleet, twenty three-masted warships, and sixty Daifuku ships!"
"Do you think that the fifteen three-masted warships of the Treasure Island Fleet of the colonial army can be opponents of the Daming Royal Navy?"
After carefully calculating it, the whole person was stunned in place.
Impossible, this cannot be.
How could Daming have so many warships?
The Kingdom of the Netherlands, which was a sea coachman, could only produce ten three-masted warships a year.
Although other small warships were produced in large quantities, they were far inferior to the three-masted warships, which were known as sail battleships.
The Ming Empire, there were no shipyards along the coast.
Where did they get so many warships?
The governor, whose mind was full of questions, was alone in the office.
"Brother Zheng, you go down and rest first, and then I'll think about it!"
After locking himself in his office for two days, the messenger sent returned.
Arriving at Koichi's office, the messenger knelt on the ground and shivered.
"Governor, I'm back!"
"Chongzhen refused to release Zheng Zhilong, and said that the treasure island has belonged to the Daming Empire since ancient times, let us get out of the treasure island as soon as possible, otherwise he will prepare a coffin for us and bury us!"
The Governor has been in a very depressed mood for the past two days.
Staring at the messenger in front of him.
"What else did they say no?"
"Chongzhen said, let's get out of the treasure island within a time limit!"
"Didn't you tell him that our Kingdom of the Netherlands is a coachman on the sea!"
"That said, he calls us sea coachmen or ox coachmen! But back I overlook the pier from Fuzhou City, there are too many warships in Daming, much more than our native Kingdom of the Netherlands! "
"How many?"
"There are one hundred and sixty three-masted warships, and 580 Daifuku ships!" (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
"Such a large-scale fleet, I am afraid that the royal fleet of the English Empire, the overlord of the sea, is coming, and it has to be weighed!"
The Governor was a little panicked, he had never seen so many warships.
However, it seems that it is necessary to prepare the grain and fresh water needed for defense in advance.
"Mobilize all the natives and people of Treasure Island at once!"
"Treasure Island, how many colonial troops do we have?"
"Lord Governor, there are six hundred colonial troops in Chichi City, and there are fourteen hundred colonial troops in the other Geran Shade City!"
"The two cities are both fortresses, guarded by hundreds of people, and it is difficult for the Ming army to gnaw down even if it is a hundred thousand people!"
The Governor breathed a sigh of relief.
To say that today, the most powerful army is the army of the English Empire, followed by the army of the French Empire and the Ottoman Empire, the soldiers and horses of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Kingdom of Prussia can be regarded as the third, and the fourth and fifth are the old colonial empires Spain and Portugal.
Of course, the soldiers and horses of the Duchy of Rus are also strong, mainly in the cavalry.
The soldiers and horses of this Daming Empire, especially the army, are simply not enough to see.
Governor Kaichi thought he knew the Ming army well, and he had come into contact with it a few years earlier.
In the past, colonial troops were sent to the coast to plunder, and a small team of ten colonial army soldiers could deal with thousands of Ming troops without falling behind.
Equipped with flintlock guns, a few hundred people could easily defend against the attack of tens of thousands of Ming troops.
At the beginning of the battle on the Penghu Islands, if it were not for the 20,000 officers and troops of Daming against the 400 colonial army led by him, he would have been stunned and drawn.
For the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, Yi Yi dismissed.
"The Ming army is poorly equipped, and the rate of explosive weapons is very high!"
"Many of their soldiers don't even like to use firearms, they like to use cold weapons!"
"Just our flintlock guns, casually ahead of them for about twenty years!"
"As long as Chongzhen dares to land, their soldiers will keep it back and forth!" , said with conviction.
The envoy nodded on the side, and Zheng Zhikui was also invited to the governor's office.
"Zheng Zhikui, how is the combat effectiveness of this Daming official army?"
"So be it! I don't know, we didn't fight with the officials and soldiers of the imperial court on land! "
Yi Yi frowned: "Is there a lot of equipment with firearms?" "
"It shouldn't be much, firearms are easy to blow up, they definitely don't like to use firearms!" , Zheng Zhikui recalled.
The Governor was completely relieved.
In his cognition, the officers and soldiers of Daming were still guards wearing shabby mandarin duck robes a few years ago.
Those guys are a little better than ordinary farmers without weapons.
"Then why don't you hold on to Fuzhou City, your Zheng Family Army is also weak?"
"Lord Governor, our Zheng family used to be pirates, of course, they are powerful at sea combat, and they have no experience on land!"
"What's more, there are so many guns of the Ming warships that have been shelling Fuzhou City, and the soldiers have long been scattered!"
The governor breathed a sigh of relief, estimating that the army officers and men of the Ming army were similar to Zheng Zhilong's army.
Yiyi is full of information, and the combat effectiveness of the Daming Empire has been clearly understood.
Fuzhou City Wharf
Chongzhen walked up to the flagship and personally beat the war drum.
"Daming Royal Navy, the whole army is heading towards Treasure Island!"
Woooo
The sound of trumpets resounded over the entire pier.
The Royal Marines boarded the ship and set off with the sailors towards the treasure island.
