Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 622 One hundred thousand Ming troops are waiting to go to sea, and the armored guns will return to Dongfan!
He Yanbin was actually quite scared in the face of a senior official like the governor, but since he dared to come, he was mentally prepared.

Hearing this, he made a wronged expression, and said, "Why did Futai make such a statement? What Caomin said about the Dutch is absolutely true, and there is absolutely no lie."

Chen Jitai sneered again, and said: "Okay, then I will trouble you to speak to He Yi on behalf of our court.

Today there are [-] soldiers in the four towns of the Nanyang Navy of our Ming Dynasty, and there are also [-] soldiers in the four towns of the Fujian and Guangdong Garrison Army.

As soon as the deadline given by my Ming Dynasty expires, one hundred thousand soldiers will cross the sea to attack Dongfan Island. Under the iron armor and guns, anyone who dares to resist will become a powder! "

After finishing speaking, he picked up the teacup, "Send off the guests!"

He Yanbin was suddenly overwhelmed by Chen Jitai's words, came to his senses, and looked at Zheng Hongkui for help.

Zheng Hongkui said with a straight face: "Brother He, the Holy One has made it clear that Dongfan Island is an inseparable part of our Ming Dynasty. He Yi has stolen it for 30 years, and the search has been excessive and excessive.

The imperial court had given them time to evacuate earlier, which was magnanimous.However, they were not only ungrateful, but secretly increased their troops and asked to transfer the fleet, intending to resist with force.

There is a way for Heyi to die. If Brother He can discern the current situation, you should immediately abandon the dark and turn to the light, and tell all the secrets of Heyi that you know, so that you can live up to your identity as a citizen of Ming Dynasty. "

While He Yanbin was being dragged outside, his mind turned and he kept thinking about Zheng Hongkui's words.

Think about what you saw along the way: Jinmen Station has indeed become a large military camp, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses deployed.

From this we can see that Chen Jitai's statement that Ming Dynasty will send [-] soldiers to take over Dongfan Island is probably true.

An army of one hundred thousand... Even if the guns and ships are not as good as the Dutch, I am afraid that the Dutch cannot resist it-at least the Dutch on Dongfan Island cannot stop it.

Thinking of this, He Yanbin put his feet against the threshold, knelt down with a plop, and said loudly: "The grass people are willing to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, and tell all the secrets you know!"

Only then did Chen Jitai wave his hand, signaling the soldiers to release He Yanbin.

"He Yanbin, since you were entrusted by Heyi to come here as a lobbyist, you must have been trusted by Heyi, so the city of Zelandia in Heyi must have been there many times, right?"

"Caomin has been there many times." He Yanbin cupped his hands and said, "Caomin would like to draw the map of Zeelandia City that I remember."

He Yanbin originally thought that even if he drew the map of Zeelandia City, even if it was not detailed, it would definitely be valued and made a great contribution.

Unexpectedly, Chen Jitai said: "No need, just check if there are any mistakes or omissions in this sand table."

After finishing speaking, Chen Jitai raised his hand to signal, and several soldiers brought a square table.

After they put the square table in the hall and lifted the red cloth on it, He Yanbin saw it, his eyes widened and his face was full of shock.

The table on this table is the sand table of Zeelandia City and its surrounding area!
He Yanbin can be considered a well-informed person. Although this is the first time he has seen a military sand table, he has heard of it.

What really surprised him was that at first glance, the inner and outer structures of Zeelandia on the sand table were almost exactly the same as the real one!
It was as if a Dutch spy who knew the structure of Zeelandia City very well helped Daming make this sand table!

'Could it be that Delong and others betrayed the East India Company? '

In the end, He Yanbin could only attribute the emergence of this sand table to De Long and other Dutchmen who were captured by Kuang Lu.

He didn't know that Delong was also shocked when he saw this sand table, thinking that the spies of the Ming Dynasty had already infiltrated Zeelandia City to make such a detailed sand table.

In fact, this sand table was made by Zheng Hongkui and others based on the drawings given by Zhu Yuxi.And Zhu Yuxi's pictures come from later generations - Hao Guangming's world military history lovers have done a lot of research on Zeelandia City.

However, the model of Zeelandia City in later generations is somewhat different from today's model. Because of this, Chen Jitai and Zheng Hongkui revised the sand table through Delong, He Yanbin and others.

After understanding the structure of Zeelandia City through the sand table, and even inferring its firepower layout, it will be very targeted when launching artillery strikes, and it will not be so difficult to break its defense system.

After helping to revise some of the sand tables of Zeelandia City and Chixian City, He Yanbin mentioned another matter.

"Reporting to Chen Futai and Zheng Junmen, among the Han people in Dongfan Island, there are many who are dissatisfied with the Dutch and have a heart for my Daming.

These people had intended to rebel against the rule of the Dutch. If my Ming Dynasty sent troops to Dongfan Island, I might contact this generation of righteous men to lead the way. "

In fact, He Yanbin didn't say anything, people from Beizhen Fusi and Military Intelligence Department would also try to contact the Han people on the island.

Therefore, after hearing He Yanbin's words, Chen Jitai nodded slightly and said, "Then I will leave it to you to contact this generation of righteous men. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask the people from Jinyiwei for advice later."

"Yes."

···
Although He Yanbin secretly voted for Daming, he still returned to Dongfan Island with the emissary team—because he "convinced" Chen Jitai and Zheng Hongkui were alone, and the other members of the Dutch envoy team were not present, so no one knew that he had He invested in Daming.

Finally, when He Yanbin left, Zheng Hongkui played a play with him in front of the Dutch, saying: It takes 5 taels of silver to redeem the captives. As for the rent of Dongfan Island for [-] taels a year, it is not up to them to decide, and it must be reported to the court. just work.

Daming's reaction was reasonable, so when He Yanbin and others returned to the senior officials and told the outcome of the negotiations, Owald and the others were not too skeptical, but planned to bypass the Fujian government and directly negotiate with the Ming court.

However, the Dutch did not fully trust Daming, and were still preparing for war.

Different from the brutality and directness of the Spaniards who were the early colonists, the Dutch, who were mainly merchants, paid more attention to efficiency when colonizing, and liked to use agents, but they themselves had an extra layer of hypocrisy and treachery.

At the beginning of the colonization of Dongfan Island, the Dutch used some cheap goods to buy the elders of various tribes, and awarded them the silver-headed canes engraved with the East India Company as their position symbols.

Afterwards, the elders of the tribes held a council meeting every year, and Dutch officials announced the East India Company's colonial policy, and also required the elders of the tribes to be loyal to the company and make them the company's colonial agents.

There must be Fan elders and tribes who are unwilling to be loyal to the Dutch East India Company. Such Fans and tribes will often be slaughtered by the Dutch, killing chickens and monkeys.

Over the past few decades, although there are not as many as [-] Fans under the control of the Dutch East India Company as He Yanbin said, there are definitely [-] to [-] Fans. In fact, the number of Fans is also difficult to count for the Dutch.

In response to a possible attack by Ming Dynasty, the Dutch gave orders to various tribes to attack once they saw the Han army appearing on the island.

At the same time, in order to prevent the Han people from leading the way for the Ming soldiers, or taking the opportunity to break away from the company's control, the Dutch forced the Han villages in relatively remote areas to relocate to the vicinity of Chikan City.

And use the big and small knots close to the Dutch and a small number of Dutch soldiers to closely monitor.

The preparations are back to preparations, the Dutch still hope to "peace talks" with Ming Dynasty, and happily search for the wealth of Formosa as before...

Zhaowu three years, May [-]th.

Taking advantage of the fair weather in the bay, thousands of ships from the four towns of the Nanyang Navy of the Ming Dynasty sailed eastward to Penghu. The two towns of the Fujian garrison and a large number of military supplies were transported together.

As for the Guangdong Garrison in the two towns and other subsequent military supplies, they are also being transported.

Naturally, such a large-scale ship operation cannot be concealed from the Dutch who have been closely monitoring the bay.

After hearing the news, the Taiwan business hall of the Dutch East India Company was greatly shaken.

City of Zeelandia, Council Hall.

Because Owald had been smoking inside for quite a while, this small conference hall was filled with smoke.

When all the people waiting for the review meeting arrived, before everyone sat down, Owald tapped the table with his pipe and said, "Let's talk about it, what should we do now?"

Connor thumped the table, and said, "I said earlier, don't expect those pigs to have peace talks. To restore the company's trade, and to let the cow in Formosa continue to produce milk, only those yellow-skinned pigs who are scared can do it." Row!"

Overward frowned and said, "Colonel, now it's not a question of whether to fight, but how to fight.

According to the sentinel report, the people of the Ming Dynasty came with thousands of ships and tens of thousands of soldiers. Tell me how to fight? "

　Second more.

　　Good night~
