Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 11 declares King Ming and makes an appointment to fight in the South China Sea.

Chapter 11, proclaimed King Ming, and made an appointment to fight in the South China Sea.

After determining the expansion of the army, the establishment of a military academy, the construction of factories, and the purchase of piglets.

Zhu Daohua also held an enlarged meeting in the former Malacca Governor's Palace of the Netherlands - now the Malacca Governor's Palace of the Ming Dynasty.

Mainly to discuss military, political, and economic issues.

Because there was a battle in Batam from the beginning.

Therefore, military issues are given top priority.

Sitting next to Zhu Daohua is Napoleon.

And it was Zhao Si who was reporting the recruitment results.

"My lord, after two days of mobilization, there are more than 6000 Chinese laborers in Batam. Excluding those over 40 years old, there are more than 40 middle-aged men between the ages of [-] and [-], just enough to form an army. away."

Zhu Daohua nodded slightly.

More than 600 people.

After some training, it is enough to become a major force on the ground in Nanyang.

But that's not enough.

Zhao Si paused and continued to report: "In addition, the Army and Naval Academy recruited 12 students aged 16-168, and another 453 craftsman apprentices."

After Zhao Si finished his report.

Napoleon said: "Your Highness, 1000 recruits can be formed into three battalions, including two infantry battalions and one grenadier battalion. .”

It is different from the cannon fodder soldiers who usually line up in a dense queue with muskets to fight and shoot.

Artillery in this era must have a certain level of education, especially mathematics.

Otherwise, the cannon will not be able to hit accurately.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the requirements for choosing artillery are higher.

"In addition, we need to select officers from among the three hundred old brothers to support the regiment's airs!"

Zhao Si added.

Zhu Daohua nodded, and then made a decision: "In that case, Zhao Si obeys!"

"Subordinates are here!"

"Appoint you as the officer of the first brigade of the army, select the best, and form the first brigade as soon as possible!"

"Subordinates have orders!"

"Qian Heng!"

"Subordinates are here!"

Qian Heng, who has been the shopkeeper of Daohuahang, also appeared on the list.

"You can be the governor of the Straits Governor's Mansion, responsible for the establishment of the Straits Governor's Mansion, responsible for repairing the Batam port, planning shipyards, ordnance factories, steel factories, and also responsible for foreign trade. We have to buy food from the surrounding forces , minerals, of course. "Piggies" must also be introduced."

"Order!"

Qian Heng cupped his hands and took orders to retreat.

Just now.

Gu Song stood up.

Shaking his head and smiling.

If you hold a feather fan in your hand, it seems to be a contemporary living Zhuge.

"My lord, the so-called name is just right. My lord now occupies the islands in the Strait of Malacca, and I have a brigade of recruits under my command, [-] Swiss mercenaries, and thousands of sailors. It can be said that I have tens of thousands of husbands. At this time, I should have a name. Only then can you command the world"

"Name." Zhu Daohua stroked his chin, feeling that what he said made sense.

Even if you are starting a company, the first thing you should do is not to name the company, but to say something about the vision and goals to make it look formal
I am not a grassroots team anymore.

There is a title.

It's also convenient.

"What do you think?"

Zhu Daohua looked at the rest of the people.

Zhao Si came out immediately: "My lord is the Empress of the Ming Dynasty, who is responsible for the great cause of restoring the Ming Dynasty. He should immediately take the throne of the emperor and order the heroes to drive out the Tartars and restore China!"

"My lord will take the throne immediately, drive out the Tartars, and restore China!"

This is persuasion.

Everyone did not dare to lag behind.

They all came out and shouted in unison.

Zhu Daohua didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Needless to say the title of emperor, I have no more than [-] soldiers and only a few small islands, so how can I call myself emperor?"

Zhu Daohua thought for a while and said.

"It's better to be called a king first. Let's call him King Ming!"

Zhu Daohua stood up.

"Meet King Ming, long live long live long live!"

Immediately.

Dozens of people in the hall shouted in unison.

The sound spread outside the hall.

Those loyal followers who had followed Zhu Daohua to Europe immediately bowed down and shouted long live.

The sound was loud.

The new recruits, students, and craftsman apprentices who just joined also hurriedly followed and shouted long live.

In this earth-shattering cheers.

Zhu Daohua felt a little hot in his heart.

Even a little flustered.
Just when Zhu Daohua was busy expanding the army, building schools, and building factories in Batam.

The news that he expelled the Dutch forces on the islands in the Malacca Strait flew to all parts of Southeast Asia as if he had wings.

at the same time.

Gu Song wrote it, and Zhu Daohua translated it himself.

Written in both Chinese and French, the proclamation "Da Ming mourns the disaster of Dutch colonialism" was sent to the Dutch Southeast Asian Governor's Palace in Batavia along with several released Dutch captives.

The governor of the Dutch East India Company, Dimen Kreutz, received the news that the Malacca Islands were occupied two days ago.

In the past two days, Batavia has had a falling out.

Many Dutch military officers have asked the governor to order to send troops immediately to eliminate those who dared to provoke the order established by the Dutch East India Company in Southeast Asia.

Just because you want to send troops doesn't mean you can send troops just by saying that you send troops.

What is the origin of the other party?
How many troops are there?
Is there any support from other countries behind it?

Batavia did not know any of this information.

And with several released captives.

The general outline of the newly established Ming Palace gradually took shape in Kreuz's mind.

"Ming Wang Zhu Daohua? Zhang Da, do you know where this Zhu Daohua came from?"

In front of Kreutz.

A Chinese man in a long robe and with slender braids on his head cupped his hands and said, "My lord, this man is the most wanted criminal of the Qing Dynasty five years ago, Zhu Daohua after the Ming Dynasty Prince Yiwen!"

"Ming Dynasty?" Kreutz's expression changed, "The so-called Anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty of the Tiandihui is to restore the Ming Dynasty, right?"

"The so-called anti-Qing and Fuming is just a joke. The Qing Dynasty has entered the Central Plains, and the so-called Anti-Qing and Fuming of the Tiandihui is just a slogan. The Nanyang Chinese know not to provoke the Netherlands. How can they take the initiative to follow Prince Yiwen?"

"I see." Kreutz nodded, "Zhu Daohua invited me to fight a decisive battle in the South China Sea and Natuna Island waters in ten days, but I was worried that the Nanyang Chinese would be on his side."

"Your Excellency, you can rest assured that the appeal of the Ming Dynasty is definitely not that great. It is impossible for the Nanyang Chinese to follow Zhu Daohua at the risk of losing their lives. If you are not at ease, you can issue a summoning order to let the Chinese Jiapidan send troops to join the war! "

"Force them to stand in line!"

Zhang Da cupped his hands and said.

Zhang Da is an Annan Chinese.

There is no chance in Annanbeichao.

Offended the local tyrants again.

I had to go to sea to make a living.

Now in Batavia, he has become an adviser to the Governor of the Netherlands.

Kreutz nodded repeatedly when he heard the words.

The main opponent of the Dutch in Nanyang, in addition to other Western colonial forces.

The most important thing to watch out for is the Chinese.

But before that.

The Chinese are in a mess.

But now. Among the Chinese, there is a possibility of a leader with enough appeal.

This is enough to give the Dutch East India Company enough motivation to send troops to destroy it!

About to fight the South China Sea.

In the middle of Kreuz's arms.

By destroying Zhu Daohua's power.

You can also show other Chinese leaders
The Dutch East India Company is not an existence that the Chinese can provoke!
