It is true that Taiwan Island is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but when the great Netherlands occupied him more than ten years ago, the Ming Dynasty has not sent officials there for almost ten years, and the Zheng family was ruling before, and then the Zheng family gave up the island of Taiwan in order to run Quanzhou, and the great Netherlands occupied it without any resistance, isn't that the territory that the Ming Dynasty does not want?

Emperor Ming has now proposed that not only the great Netherlands give up Taiwan, which has been operating for more than ten years, but also compensate the Ming Dynasty for the loss of five million taels of silver, and what is even more infuriating is that the Emperor Ming even proposed to let His Majesty the Holy Netherlands come to this distant east to make amends! Not to mention that the body of His Majesty the Holy Netherlands would never have crossed thousands of miles of oceans to come, and even if he could, the great Netherlands would never have endured such a humiliation!

"Emperor Ming, you are so rude, the great Netherlands will never accept such a humiliating condition, you are tantamount to declaring war on the great Netherlands! God will punish you! "The Dutch envoy was furious! Speak out loud in very non-fluent Chinese.

Rude? Zhu Ci sneered!

He doesn't think this is any rudeness, since the moment the Netherlands invaded Daming Taiwan, Daming and the Netherlands are enemies, and it is not rude to the enemy, besides, Zhu Ciji thinks that Daming has the strength to put forward such conditions.

"Hmph, if you start a war, you think Da Ming will be afraid?"

After Zhu Ci finished speaking, he immediately shouted outside the hall: "Someone! ”

Several guards immediately stepped forward.

"Send the Dutch envoy out!" Zhu Ci said coldly.

"Yes!" Several guards immediately intervened the Dutch envoy and dragged him out of the hall!

The Dutch envoy had just been shocked by Zhu Ci's declaration of war, and now he was treated like this again, he was furious!

"No, Emperor Ming, you can't do this to me, God will punish you" The Dutch envoy roared angrily, and his voice spread farther and farther until it disappeared!

Oh, God? Zhu Ci sneered, he didn't believe in that thing at all!

Now, war is inevitable, Zhu Ci will not be polite, in history, Zheng Sen with less than half of the Zheng family naval division and 20,000 troops can recover Taiwan, and now the Ming navy has annexed the entire Zheng family naval division in the peak state, coupled with the foundation of the original Ming navy and advanced artillery, there is no reason to be afraid of war with the Dutch.

Zhu Ci knew that perhaps the current strength of the Ming Navy was not as good as that of the entire Netherlands, but don't forget that the Netherlands was thousands of miles away, and their warships had to protect not only the mainland, but also other colonies around the world, and it was impossible to send all their strength to the Far East.

Zhu Ci also shot in another direction, as long as the two major fleets of the Ming Navy annihilated the Dutch Far East Fleet, then the Ming Dynasty could not only recover Taiwan, but also all the Dutch colonies in the Far East!

"Spread Zheng Sen and Shen Jingchao to see me!"

Nearly half an hour later, Zheng Sen and Shen Jingchao entered the palace together.

"The emperor wants to recover Taiwan?" Zheng Sen's eyes lit up.

Shen Jingchao was also very interested!

"Yes, Taiwan is also the territory of the Ming Dynasty, which cannot be occupied by outsiders, the Dutch must be expelled, and Taiwan must be recovered!" Zhu Ci nodded and said very firmly.

Speaking of Taiwan, Zhu Ciji always has an inexplicable emotion in his heart, thinking that it is still occupied by the Dutch, he feels like a fish in his throat, extremely uncomfortable, so he must take it back!

Zheng Sen and Shen Jingchao glanced at each other, knelt down on one knee and bowed together: "The emperor is wise, and the last general will not give up until he dies!" ”

Shen Jingchao was very excited, the last attack on the Dutch fleet had not yet made him happy, and this time the recovery of Taiwan could be said to be the first battle since the establishment of the East China Sea Fleet, and he must not let the emperor down.

Zheng Sen clenched his fists tightly, and his heart was boiling.

Taiwan can be said to be lost in the hands of the Zheng family, when the Zheng family in order to run Quanzhou and the mainland, took the initiative to give up the fight with the Dutch, at that time Zheng Sen was still but Zheng Sen has always been against this matter, after the Zheng family flourished, he repeatedly proposed to Zheng Zhilong to recover Taiwan, but unfortunately every time was rejected by Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Sen has been extremely annoyed, and now he finally has a chance!

"You go down and prepare first, and send troops to recover Taiwan in a month!"

"Yes!"

Seeing Zheng Sen and Shen Jingchao retreat, a flash of sharpness flashed in Zhu Ci's eyes.

The reason why Zheng Sen and Shen Jingchao were allowed to send troops a month later was that Zhu Ciji deliberately wanted to do so, he wanted to let the wind go and let the Dutch transfer all the warships in the Far East to Taiwan's waters in order to keep Taiwan, so that the East China Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet could jointly wipe out all of them!

Zhu Cihesitant is not afraid that the Dutch will not be fooled, in the last battle of the waters of Taiwan, Shen Jingchao led four warships to defeat the Dutch seventeen warships only a very small number of people in the Ming Dynasty know, the Dutch will never know the inside story, with the conceit of the Dutch, it is very likely that all their warships in the Far East will come to the decisive battle!

For a month, the Daming Daily widely publicized that the Ming Dynasty was going to send troops to drive the Dutch to recover Taiwan.

At the same time, the Firearms Bureau started work with all its might, and worked day and night to build a two-thousand-pound Great Shenwu Cannon!

Originally, the Zheng family naval division had sixty warships, a total of more than 1,000 cannons, and the firing range was within two thousand meters, and now the Zheng family naval division has been merged into the Ming Navy, and the close combat of the East China Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet does not need to worry, so Zhu Ci ordered that the newly built warships are all equipped with two thousand catties and a range of more than five thousand meters of Shenwu cannons!

It is said that Daming's steelmaking technology has been improved several times, and now it has reached a daily output of 100 tons of advanced steel, and with the support of enough advanced steel, the Firearms Bureau has been able to build 50 2,000-pound Shenwu cannons every month.

As the month-long period gradually arrived, the assembly of the sixth Shenwu-class warship of the Ming Dynasty was completed.

The Shenwu-class warships are all warships equipped with Shenwu cannons with a range of more than 5,000 meters!

Because the current melee cannons of the Ming Navy are enough, the small Shenwu cannons of more than 400 catties on the original four Shenwu-class warships have already been dismantled, and all of them have been replaced with 2,000-jin Dashenwu cannons, a total of 28 guns each!

Today, the two major fleets of the Ming Dynasty have a total of sixty-six warships, of which six advanced Shenwu-class are the main force, and with such strength, it is not a problem to completely annihilate the Dutch Far East Fleet!

At the sea level at the mouth of the Yangtze River, dozens of warships and hundreds of troop carriers practiced here.

The East China Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet coordinated with the Fourth Army of the Ying Long Army.

After nearly a month of training, the original landlubbers and seasick soldiers of the Fourth Army of the Yinglong Army have gotten a lot better, and although the seasick soldiers are still a little dizzy, they have gotten better from the original yellow bile water to the most retching now!

"Big brother, the emperor is torturing our Fourth Army!" Feng Houdun pressed his chest painfully to suppress the retching in his throat, and complained to Yan Yingyuan.

Although Feng Houdun has lived in Jiangyin County for more than 20 years, he is not a landlubber, but he is full of seasickness, his parents forced him for more than ten years and failed to make him change, Zhu Ci sent a holy decree to the Fourth Army, so that Feng Houdun had to follow the Fourth Army to drift at sea for almost a month, this day seasickness, vomiting every day, and now it is finally getting better.

"What nonsense! Slandering the emperor behind his back is a capital crime! Yan Yingyuan glared at Feng Houdun angrily and said.

Feng Houdun hurriedly shut up, not daring to complain, but then he couldn't help but speak: "Big brother, you said that the emperor let us train the Fourth Army at sea, do you plan to let us follow the navy to recover Taiwan?" ”

Feng Houdun has always had such speculations, in fact, it is not difficult to understand, after all, Daming Daily has been promoting the recovery of Taiwan for nearly a month, the navy is just a navy, it is okay to defeat the Dutch fleet, and it is not necessary to let them go to land to drive out the Dutch above, since the Fourth Army is going to train at sea, it must follow the sea, not follow the navy to recover Taiwan.

Yan Yingyuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Maybe not only to recover Taiwan, but also to hand over more important tasks to the emperor in the future, maybe the Fourth Army can come to the sea for training, it is the luck of our Fourth Army, which shows that the Emperor values our Fourth Army more!" ”

Yan Yingyuan's vision is really good, Zhu Ci hesitated to let the Fourth Army train with the navy, it is indeed not only to recover Taiwan, but will also play a more important role in the future.

Feng Houdun thought about it, and felt more and more reasonable, and immediately didn't feel that it was hard to take the boat every day, so he gritted his teeth and continued to persevere.

As the day of the Ming Dynasty's troops to Taiwan is getting closer and closer, Taiwan's waters are gradually shrouded in depression, indicating that a big war is coming!
