The sound of the waves seems to be able to be transmitted from the sea to the Dengzhou Mansion, and the faint sound sounds from time to time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Rhodes' face became more and more ugly because of Xiao Ming's words, such a large number of widows was enough to give them a headache, and now Xiao Ming told him that it was only a small part.

"In the coastal rebellion of the Great Chongqing Kingdom, the number of Japanese soldiers will even be as high as 20,000." Xiao Ming told the truth.

Even the allies didn't have a reason to let him send troops in vain, not to mention that the alliance between the two sides was very fragile, how could he increase the bargaining chips for support if he didn't talk about this matter so seriously.

"Twenty thousand." Rod's face turned completely pale, and he said with a hesitant expression: "Count Claire asked me to tell His Highness that if His Highness can help us, the Dutch will definitely repay His Highness from now on." ”

Xiao Ming nodded with satisfaction, it is enough to have Rod's words, but talking too much now has the meaning of coercion, he said: "We will go directly to the city of Geranza and work with you to drive the Japanese out of Ryukyu." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness." Rhodes was overjoyed.

When the two were talking, Lu Fei and Luo Xin looked at Rod with a dull expression, if it weren't for Xiao Ming's presence, the two would probably call the red-haired ghost directly.

After agreeing on this matter, Xiao Ming asked Yang Chengye to arrange for Rod to rest, and after Rod left, Lu Fei suddenly gasped, "Your Highness, why does this Dutchman look like such a ghost." ”

"That's it, it's ugly, and I thought it was a ghost when I met it this night." Luo Xin looked shocked.

"Don't laugh at it, after all, we are going to cooperate soon, maybe the two sides will have to exchange military training, and you should be more dignified when the time comes, and you can't be so rude." Xiao Ming said.

He understands Lu Fei's character, the most uncontrollable thing about this big mouth is his mouth, and he doesn't want to cause some interracial conflicts because of this trivial matter.

"Hey, remember." Lu Fei laughed, and he said, "In that case, when are we leaving?" ”

"Rest for a few days, we still have to wait for Yue Yun's fleet and baggage." Xiao Ming said.

As the three of them were talking, Yue Yun's familiar voice appeared at the door, and then someone walked in, and after he saluted Xiao Ming, he said to Lu Fei and Luo Xin: "Captain Lu, Captain Luo, this is my territory in Dengzhou, let's go, I will invite the two of you to eat seafood." ”

Lu Fei suddenly became excited, "Yue Yun, you are really exquisite, unlike Luo Xin, who picks the door. ”

"Hey, you Lu Fei really sang what song when you went to what mountain, why didn't you say that when you were in Chang'an." Luo Xin was dissatisfied.

Lu Fei didn't seem to be too lazy to pay attention to him at all, he retreated to Xiao Ming and ran away with Yue Yun, and Luo Xin counted Lu Fei as well.

Seeing this, Xiao Ming shook his head slightly, these two guys are still so dead.

……

The main island of the Ryukyus, contracted by Michira, is a fortress building across the sea from the city of Geranza, after the Dutch came to Taiwan, they first built the castle of Geranza, and then they built a second fortress Michira Castle in order to get rice and sugar cane from the main island of the Ryukyus.

Through this fortress, they controlled the natives of the main island of the Ryukyus.

But half a month ago, the fortress was no longer suitable for the Dutch, but turned into a nest of pirates, more than 7,000 pirates gathered in the city of Michira to eat and drink, and a steady stream of pirates rushed here, as if preparing to turn the castle into a permanent pirate stronghold.

At this time, on the coast outside Michira's Castle, Sakai was observing the city of Geranzo not far away through a telescope, and now in the bay of the city, twelve warships were guarding the dock in a circle, and their ships had no chance to get close to the city.

"Seven hundred! Hum. Putting away the binoculars, Sakai snorted coldly.

He had warned the Dutch not to establish trade relations with the King of Qi in the kingdom of Dayu, but Rhodes and Count Clare did not listen, and he was furious when he infiltrated Count Clare's office and found the agreement.

Because in their eyes, this was a betrayal of the Dutch to Yamada Daimyo, and after this news was transmitted back to the Wa Kingdom, Yamada Daimyo gave an order to control the Dutch.

It's just that they underestimated the combat strength of these 2,000 Dutch soldiers, and after losing more than 1,000 men, they were forced to evacuate, and then the fleet, which reacted to them, fired fiercely at them, causing them to lose another 500 men at sea.

Knowing that this was no match for the Dutch, he consulted Yamada Daimyo for advice, and eventually Yamada Daimyo ordered his loyal pirates to temporarily stop raiding and attacking the Dutch.

By this time, 8,000 pirates had gathered from the sea, and their ships had reached fifty, and he was planning a final assault on the city of Geranza.

"When 20,000 people are gathered, see how you Dutch can escape from my palm, and this damned Dayu country, you will be our slaves sooner or later."

While Sakai was observing the city of Geranza, Claire was also observing the city of Michira.

The morale of the soldiers in the city is very low now, and it is easy to encounter the war-weariness of the soldiers when fighting far from their homeland, and the confrontation with the Japanese state has caused many soldiers to lose confidence.

In Dengzhou, they saw the strength of the King of Qi, and here they were attacked by the Japanese invaders, and perhaps in the eyes of the soldiers, they should leave this dangerous place.

Claire also wanted to leave, but as a count and councillor, he could not choose to leave here, because he risked offending the Daimyo of Yamada of the Wa Kingdom precisely because he could see that he had more potential with this King of Qi and could bring more profits to the Dutch.

Looking at the north, his brows furrowed, he didn't know how Rod was now, whether the King of Qi of the Great Yu Kingdom would send troops to support, but now there was no other choice for him.

"God willing." Claire only prayed at this time.

……

Dengzhou, after three days of preparation, Lu Fei and Luo Xin took the Qingzhou soldiers to board the battleship, in addition to the fifteen battleships responsible for transporting soldiers, this time also dispatched fifty large merchant ships to transport soldiers.

After all, 10,000 people is a huge number, and just the weight of grain and grass on the ship requires a lot of space.

Therefore, this support is also an extremely costly operation for Xiao Ming.

"Your Highness, please board the ship." The generals said.

This time, Xiao Ming was also ready to go with him, but his purpose was not to fight, but to establish a supply point along the coast, which was also his plan after returning from Dengzhou.

With this plan to go to the city of Geranza, he can implement this plan, whether it is the fief of the king of Wei or the fief of the king of Chu, or Guangzhou, Quanzhou and other places.

For maritime trade and warship cruises, a set of supply facilities is required.
