Li Sangui sat on the iron anchor with a golden sword, and on one side was Mo Liang holding a gun, and the muzzle of the black hole was facing Ha Thorn.

Among the natives of Nanyang, Har Thorn is a rare big man, with thick limbs and a pair of eyebrows. The so-called heart-to-heart eyebrows are sparse eyebrows in the center of the eyebrows, or the eyebrows are almost together.

From the perspective of physiognomy, Lian Xinmei indicates that this person's life is very hard. The experience may be bumpy, but it is all about perseverance.

There is a rebellious psychology in his bones, resolute, stubborn and stubborn, like a fierce wild horse, difficult to tame, this kind of person is the obvious characteristics of a person with a strong backbone.

Harp is at least quite stubborn, beaten to the point that both cheeks are like pig's heads, and he still wants to have a hard mouth.

Li Sangui asked: "Has my Great Qin ever invaded the Sulu Kingdom?" ”

Harbour replied, "No." ”

"Then why are you shooting at us? Why go to war against Great Qin? ”

"Nope."

Li Sangui was angry: "You fart!" ”

"Nope."

"Really?"

"Nope."

Li Sangui smiled: "Come on, beat him until he farts!" ”

"Whoa!"

Bang! Boom! Smack

Mo Liang rushed up with a few Qin soldiers, punches and kicks, and beat Hara like a fairy, and even his mother couldn't recognize him now.

Mo Liang dragged people in front of Li Sangui again.

Li Sangui asked, "Why are you firing at us?" Why are you going to war against Great Qin? ”

"The general spares his life, I and I were just ordered to hunt down the traitors of our country, and I didn't see that you were the generals of Great Qin."

"You are blind to your dog's eyes, don't you see my banner of Great Qin? It's obvious that you've fired at us, and you still want to deny it, come on, beat him up and pee! ”

"The general spares his life, I say. I've opened fire, I've started a war against Daqin"

"Good."

Li Sangui nodded with satisfaction, and then asked to collect all the weapons on the Hara ship, let them start the ship by themselves, and then send an eagle boat to escort them to Fusu Port.

On the flagship on the other side, Wang Guichen entertained Luo Lan, the second prince of Sulu, with delicious food and drink.

To the south of Luzon, there are the kingdoms of Sulu and Boni, both of which believe in Islam, and as far as Wang Guichen knows, whether it is Islam or Christianity, the Great Qin is relatively exclusive to these countries. And religions that do not distinguish between church and state do not have a good feeling.

In particular, after the Great Qin Emperor made it clear that Islamization or Christianization would affect the survival of Chinese culture, the mainstream public opinion in China became more vigilant about this. And then there is no good opinion of these countries.

Although Wang Guichen was busy going to "pan for gold", it would not be wrong to control Luo Lan in his hand first, he sailed for two days and two nights, and then found a place to land and began his "gold panning" journey.

At the same time, he sent an eagle ship to Hele, the capital of Sulu, to inquire about the news, and he had to find out the current situation in Sulu first. It is good to decide what action to take, which is called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, and not being defeated in a hundred battles.

In Sulu, the eldest prince Lott has just finished the funeral for his father. received the news that his henchman general Ha Thorn was captured by the Qin army, and at the same time learned that his younger brother had been protected by the Qin army.

Lot was very nervous, although the state of Qin had just been founded, but to make a simple horizontal comparison: the state of Sulu had been constantly squeezed by the Spaniards over the years. As soon as the Qin army came, they easily defeated the Spaniards. From this, it is known that the Qin State is not something that the Sulu State can match.

Lot's first reaction was to quickly send someone to envoy Daqin and pay tribute to Daqin. Seek the canonization of the Great Qin Emperor.

His confidant Manfu persuaded him: "Sultan, it is certain to send someone to Great Qin to ask for canonization, but you can't put all the bets on the Qin State, after Luo Lan is taken in by the Qin army, he will definitely try his best to say bad things about the Sultan in front of the people of the Qin State, and with a preconceived impression, the Great Qin monarch and ministers may be ready to crusade against the Sultan." ”

Lott became more and more frightened, and hurriedly asked, "What can I do then?" ”

"Now the Sultan, in addition to sending someone to Daqin to explain clearly, it is best to send someone to the Boni Kingdom and tell him that Daqin wants to destroy a country that believes in Allah, so that they can send troops together with us to resist the invasion of the Qin State."

"It's not easy to convince the Boni Kingdom to resist Great Qin together."

"Sultan, if you don't send someone to try, how do you know if it won't work. In fact, even adding the Boni Kingdom is not enough, the Sultan must unite more forces to be able to resist the attack of Great Qin. ”

"Who else can you unite?"

"The Dutch, the Qin army fought a battle with the Dutch before attacking Manila, and the two sides were enemies. After hearing that the Dutch suffered a big loss, his subordinates continued to transfer troops from India, and now dozens of huge warships have gathered in the port of Batavia, all equipped with powerful artillery, and his subordinates think that they must be planning to go to Daqin for revenge, and if you can unite with them, it will not be difficult to resist the invasion of the Qin army. ”

Lott thought about it, but still felt that it was safer to bet on both sides, so according to Manfu's words, he sent people to Daqin on the one hand, and sent people to lobby Boni on the other, and at the same time sent people to find the Dutch.

After gaining independence from Spain in 1581, they rose step by step to become the most powerful colonial empire in the world, with nearly 10,000 Dutch merchant ships roaming every corner of the globe.

The Dutch paid special attention to the trade of the East, for which they set up an East India Company, they set up a stronghold along the Coromandel coast of India, as a relay station to Asia, invaded Java, Batavia and other places, and established an oriental headquarters in Batavia (i.e., Jakarta);

And successively seized Malacca, Ceylon from Portugal, and occupied the status of the master in the local trade, in East Asia, once occupied the gulf, after Japan closed the country, banned trade with Christian countries, the Dutch took the opportunity to monopolize the trade of Japan.

Dozens of warships and armed merchant ships are moored in the wide bay of Batavia, coconut groves sway gently in the breeze along the coast, and the weather in April is drenchy and hot.

Deep in the harbor of the city of Batavia, under the auspices of the former governor Anthony Brown. Fan. Under the careful management of Dimmen, new Dutch canals, castles, town halls, churches, Latin schools and markets were built in the course of this decade.

The current Governor, John. Ma Suibori sat in his office at the city hall, sipping Chinese tea and frowning.

Ever since he took over as governor of Batavia in 1645, things have not gone well. First, it was attacked by Zheng Zhilong, which caused the East India Company to lose Formosa (Taiwan Island), the second largest trading base in the Far East.

Formosa's merchant houses are second only to Batavia in terms of annual trade revenue, and the second largest among all merchant houses in the Dutch Far East. John. Of course, Ma Suiju was not willing to lose it like this;

A few days ago, Austin, the deputy commander of the Eastern Fleet, was sent to recover Formosa, but he did not expect to encounter the fleet of the Qin State in Manila, and after this battle, the powerful Eastern Fleet was defeated. And the flagship of the deputy commander of the fleet was bombed terribly.

This thing to John. The shock caused by Ma Suiju was greater than the loss of Formosa, and Zheng Zhilong relied on a sneak attack and defeated the defenders of Formosa on land.

But this time, the Qin army was at sea and easily defeated John. The Eastern Fleet that Ma Suibori is proud of.

If even the superiority at sea is lost, what is left of the Netherlands?

John. Ma Suiju felt a huge threat, and now that the Qin people had successfully occupied the Philippines, it was clear that they were actively expanding, and the next target was probably Batavia.

Worried John. Ma Suiju looked out the window at the more than a dozen warships that had just arrived from India, plus the original warships and armed merchant ships in Batavia, there were as many as forty-eight in total, and all the warships he could gather were here.

But are these enough to defeat the Royal Navy of Qin?

At this moment, the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Fleet, Callant, hurriedly walked into Ma Suijuri's office, and said happily while taking off his hat: "Your Excellency, the Qin army's sky-shaking thunder has been imitated, this kind of sky-shaking thunder is not technically difficult, it is easy to produce in large quantities, and in the future, we don't have to be afraid of the Qin people." ”

Ma Suiju finally showed a happy look and asked, "What about the rocket?" Is there a replica? ”

Cattelan shook his head and replied: "Judging from the situation described by Captain Wilson, the Qin army's rocket should not be filled with ordinary explosives, ordinary explosives cannot have that kind of power, and this must find a way to get the real thing before it can be imitated." I've sent someone to Manila, hoping to get a rocket or two back. ”

As the two of them spoke, one of his men reported outside the door: "Your Excellency, the State of Sulu has sent a messenger to see you, Your Excellency. ”
