Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Dutch Merchant House

Gao Jianguo and Qiao Haipeng came over in a traffic boat. Although Zhou Cheng had already reported the situation here to them, they were still not at ease and rushed over on purpose.

As soon as Li Ming and Song Tao saw them coming, they greeted them. Li Ming smiled bitterly: "The situation here has been controlled, these foreign devils surrendered and killed two Japanese samurai who dared to die." ”

Gao Jianguo nodded and said, "Are there any casualties among the soldiers of the teaching team?" ”

Li Ming shook his head and said, "The others had already fired first when the daredevils were attacked, so there were no casualties, but almost everyone in the daredevils was wounded. ”

Song Tao also said with emotion: "These devils are very strong in combat, and their style is brave and tenacious, if they can really be used by us, it is a good thing." ”

Gao Jianguo and Qiao Haipeng specially went to visit the Fujita team, which made Fujita and their Japanese samurai cry one by one, regardless of the injuries on their bodies, they knelt on the ground together and buried their heads deep in the ground.

After Gao Jianguo left, those foreign devils had already recovered. Li Ming carried the dozen or so foreign devils and the directors of the East India Company who participated in the attack to the center of the deck.

Song Tao turned back to Liu Baoguo and said, "Old Liu, it's your turn, don't cheap them." ”

Liu Baoguo nodded heavily, and then with a few soldiers of the original Marine Corps, he took out the butterflies on his body, walked to the side of several foreign devils, made a cut on their bodies, and then threw them into the sea.

The remaining foreign devils had already guessed what was going on, desperately trying to break free, begging loudly, but no one paid attention to them, and one by one they were all cut through their bodies and thrown into the sea.

Song Tao also understood, he smiled and said, "Lao Liu, the sharks smell blood for a while, and they will gather over, haha...... Yours is the real thing. ”

The rest of the foreign devils were so frightened by the heart-rending screams on the sea that they were about to pee. Their faces were pale, and their bodies were trembling. They have been adrift at sea all year round and know this situation all too well.

Li Ming walked up to them and said gloomily in English: "You have also seen their fate, this is the consequence of not obeying the rules of the battlefield. We're not going to hurt you if you've surrendered, and if you want to learn from them, I don't mind throwing a few more. ”

Although most of the foreign devil sailors couldn't understand English, under the translation of the big captain, they all understood what Li Ming meant, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, and they could finally save their lives.

Li Ming pointed at the big captain and said coldly, "What's your name?" ”

The big captain was stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted, and quickly replied, "Sir, my name is Van Bit and I am willing to serve you." ”

Li Ming nodded and said, "Van Bit, you continue to be the captain, and now you are responsible for managing these people, there are enough people to drive this ship." ”

Van Bit immediately replied, "Sir, it's a little less, but it's still fine." ”

Li Ming turned to Liu Baoguo and said, "Baoguo will take a few people to stay on this ship, and the rest of the people will clean up the ship and get a rope to tie this ship to the landing ship." ”

When everyone heard Li Ming's order, they all started to get busy. After a while, everyone cleaned up, and the dead foreign devils were thrown into the sea, and a few seriously injured simply replaced their guns.

The foreign devils of the other two smaller Western sailboats are very honest and cooperative. There were no accidents, and the first and second landing ships obediently received it.

Accidentally three more sailboats, in order not to affect the speed of the fleet. Gao Jianguo discussed with Li Ming and Qiao Haipeng, and decided to go to the north of Mijima Island first, where there was a port of Utsu in the future, and put the three sailboats there to hide, and then take them away when they returned.

Mijima is located in the sea north of Hirado, Japan, and there were no people in this era, so they took it lightly and hid three ships. The teaching team left a platoon to take care of these foreign devils.

After the three sailboats were settled, the fleet also rested for one night, and Gao Jianguo and Li Ming also sat together to study the next action.

Song Tao has not been involved, he has been sitting next to him and doesn't know what to think, just when everyone is talking hot, he suddenly said, "You said that the Dutch East India Company, does it have a merchant house in Japan?" I think, why did the director of the East India Company bring so many mercenaries this time, and you have also seen the big ship, dozens of front-loading guns. Supposedly, in East Asia, there is no need to be so popular. ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard Song Tao's words, Gao Jianguo frowned and said: "Song Tao, if you have any ideas, just say it, it's rare for you kid to have such ideas, don't ink, say it quickly......"

Song Tao thought for a while and said, "Do you think they have something important to do when they go to the Japanese merchant house this time?" ”

Li Ming's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Song Tao, what do you mean, do you mean that the purpose of their trip to the Dutch Merchant House this time is to receive a batch of important materials." ”

Song Tao nodded, and said affirmatively: "What can they bring back when they go to Japan, I think it is impossible to send such a large ship over except for valuables, and the most valuable thing here in Japan is gold." ”

Gao Jianguo laughed and said: "I think Song Tao's idea is very good, don't say it, I think it's like this, haha...... Song Tao: You said how good it would be if you moved your head more, or you would really be blind to your head. ”

Now everyone is interested, the Dutch East India Company's trading house in Japan is located in Hirado, not far from here, so you can stop by and take a look.

If it is really like what Song Tao said, this time it may really be worth their vote, even if there is no gold, there must be a lot of goods in the merchant hall. Anyway, it's not a trip in vain. ”

Li Ming glanced at everyone, and said sternly: "I agree with Song Tao's construction, I also think it is worth going once, and this merchant house will be helpful for our future trade with Japan." The Dutch Merchant House had an accident in Japan, and the Dutch East India Company was afraid that it would be timid in Japan. ”

Gao Jianguo slapped the table and said in a deep voice: "Then ** vote, take out the nest of the Dutch East India Company in Japan." These Dutch are the least of the things, and they still occupy our Taiwan. ”

Early the next morning, the three landing ships left Mishima and headed for Hirado Island, Japan, this time not wanting to make a big move, but preparing for a sneak attack without anyone knowing. After all, they still have to go to Sakai Port, so this operation has Li Ming and Song Tao personally led the special combat team to go ashore in the middle of the night.

Since Liu Baoguo and other Marine Corps frogmen joined the team, the special combat team can now be said to be strong and strong, and the number of Li Ming's personnel has reached 27, which is enough to complete this mission.

To be on the safe side, there will be two personnel landing craft and two BTR-60 armored transport vehicles, as well as two squads of fighters to cooperate with them. The No. 3 landing ship will be cruising in the sea area five kilometers from the coast, ready to support at any time.

The two landing craft quietly washed up on the beachhead of Hirado Island at midnight, and Li Ming, members of the special combat team, and two squads of fighters landed one after another, and the landing craft withdrew and left, waiting for the special combat team to keep in touch with them.

The Dutch Merchant House is located on the east side of Hirado Island, right next to the sea. In order not to startle the snake, Li Ming and the others did not land directly at the pier, but landed on the beach next to the Dutch Merchant House and walked along the beach. Not far from here is a marina where the Dutch Trade Centre is located. In the distance, a lighthouse with a faint light is a lighthouse built by the Dutch, and if you find it, you can reach the Dutch Trade Center.

Before coming, the captains of the three sailing ships were interrogated separately, and they already knew very well about the situation of the Dutch Merchant House. Now the soldiers are ready to divide into two ways, Li Ming and Song Tao led the special combat team to climb over the wall from the back of the Dutch Merchant House and enter, directly enter the Merchant House, and control the foreign devils inside.

Liu Baoguo led nine special combat personnel and two squads of soldiers to cruise outside the Dutch commercial port in a landing craft, and as soon as he received Li Ming's order, he immediately landed at the Dutch wharf, and joined Li Ming and Song Taoli to control the Dutch merchant ships that were moored at the wharf, as well as the warehouses on the wharf. Once they succeed, the three landing ships will also enter the Dutch docks one after another.

In 1618, the Dutch built a 30-meter-long, 2-meter-high stone wall and a Dutch well behind the merchant house to isolate Japanese and Dutch personnel from contact.

Li Ming raised his fist and stopped, half-knelt on the ground, and then pointed his fingers to both sides. Song Tao and Wang Xiaojie respectively led a team of people to climb over the wall on both sides to enter the interior of the Dutch Merchant House, while Li Ming led two special combat team members to guard them, and only after Song Tao and Wang Xiaojie both jumped into the wall did they follow the wall.

At this time, the Dutch merchant hall was unusually quiet, this was a European-style building, Li Ming led the special combat team members to the side of the gate, nodded at Song Tao and Wang Xiaojie, and they hurriedly led the two teams of special combat team members to enter this building in two ways.

Li Ming and two special combat team members also threw off their automatic rifles, pulled out their pistols and installed silencers, and with the help of night vision devices, they swept through buildings. Occasionally, a direct hit to wake up.

The action was very smooth, and more than 100 foreign devils in the entire merchant hall were subdued by them, and after careful searching, and nothing was missing, Li Ming contacted Liu Baoguo and asked them to enter the port and land.

Then Li Ming and Song Tao also took the special combat team members, out of the building of the merchant hall, and cautiously touched the direction of the wharf, where several large Dutch plywood ships were moored, that is, the Dutch invented the Fruth merchant ship, and the three sailing ships that Li Ming and they captured were this kind of ships.

The hull is wide near the waterline, and the higher it is, the narrower. This layout increases the ship's cargo volume on the maximum stroke. But the narrow tip of the foot also means that you have to teach less tax. But the disadvantages are also obvious, the speed is slow, and the controls are not so flexible. R1152
