Ankaya suddenly showed a charming smile and said, "My room is free, do you have the courage to come?"
” Acuña's expression froze, Ankaya was a royal nobleman, and if she didn't agree, he really didn't dare to mess around.
Ankaya glanced at him with a sweeter smile, twisted her waist and turned away.
Acuña looked at her back and suddenly said, "Please come over, Your Excellency the lieutenant general, I want to capture the platform.
Bay!
” Ankaya turned her head to look at him, didn't speak, and continued to turn and leave.
Acuña looked at her back and narrowed his eyes.
Now there is not much space left in the Far East that can be occupied.
Bay is a very suitable island, which can be used to invade the Ming Dynasty when the time comes.
He turned his head and was greeted by a rough map of the Far East, the most obvious of which was the Ming Dynasty.
"What a ......glorious place of this size, if you could believe in our Lord," Acuña muttered to herself, her tone low and full of fanaticism, and her heart stirred.
He closed his eyes, as if he had seen the grand scene of him conquering the Ming Dynasty and thousands of people praying with him, his face was full of intoxication, and he couldn't extricate himself for a long time.
"Your Excellency!
Excellency!
” Suddenly, a soldier barged in and shouted.
Acuña woke up from his dream, sat up straight, and looked at the visitor with a cold face, and he decided that if there was no major incident, he would severely punish the guy who disturbed his dream.
The soldier stood in front of him and said: "Your Excellency, merchant ships from all over the country have reported that the Ming Dynasty has carried out the 'Jinghai Operation' in the nearby waters, requiring all ships to register with the Ming Dynasty, pay taxes, and fly the Ming Dynasty flag, otherwise they will be seized and confiscated, and they will not be allowed to pass, and all those who resist will be sunk. ” Acuña sat in his chair with a strange expression, and after a long time said, "You mean, there are other people besides us?"
” "Charge.
Lan people.
The soldier said simply and directly.
In fact, there is no other country in the Far East that can sail far away except these two countries.
Acuña frowned, he was puzzled in the bottom of his heart.
According to his intelligence, the Ming Dynasty only had inland river sailors, and now the internal chaos is very chaotic, and they can't go to sea at all, what are they doing?
He looked down at the table again, the 'declaration of war' from the Ming Dynasty, his brows furrowed even more.
"Ming Dynasty, what are you going to do?"
He looked up at the soldier who was speaking, and asked suspiciously.
He really didn't understand, why did the Ming Dynasty do this, didn't he know, they had the final say on the sea?
But then he narrowed his eyes, the corners of his mouth hooked, and a strange smile appeared.
"Immediately, send someone to keep an eye on Dutch.
Lan people, report any change immediately!
Acuña suddenly said loudly, his voice agitated.
"Yes!"
The soldier shouted back and quickly turned to leave.
The more smiles on Acuña's face, he followed out the door.
He was going to see Okundo, the commander of the Far East Fleet, who had just come to inspect him.
Batavia, headquarters of the East India Company.
"Your Excellency the Governor, more than seventy merchant ships have now been lost, and the losses are incalculable, and the shareholders will surely be furious."
An old man in his early fifties who looked like a businessman looked at the middle-aged man sitting at the round table with an indifferent face.
The middle-aged man was expressionless, turned his head to look at a young man in his twenties on the side, and said, "Major, occupy Taiwan. b.
The plan may have to be advanced. ” The major looked frivolous and said with a smile, "Of course, but I prefer Xia.
Door. ” The middle-aged man, who was the colonial governor of Putmans, turned his head to look at the old man who had just spoken, and said, "Go to Taiwan first. b, and then go to Xia.
Gate, how much loss, the Ming Dynasty will compensate, what do you think of ten times?
” The old man shrugged his shoulders and said, "No problem, the words of the missionaries have always been credible, the porcelain and silk of the Ming Dynasty are very valuable, and the parliamentarians also like them." ” Putmans was not long ago in India.
Du suppressed the indigenous rebellion, and this time he came for Taiwan.
Bay, the shame of careless failure before the snow wash, he was still ready to solve it in August, just in time for the big day in the country.

'It's not bad in advance, maybe there will be unexpected surprises.
A slight smile slowly appeared on Putmans' face.
He'd seen too many of them.
Some countries may seem to be in a strong resistance, but when they fail, they will surrender more completely.
Lotus.
Lan's colonial system was very original, a freak of a combination of government and business, called the East India Company, a joint-stock company, but it was like one with the government.
Batavia moved quickly, drawing ships and men from all over the world, gathering in the harbor, sailing and enthusiastic.
It is now the end of the great geographical discoveries, and the only real colonizer is Spain.
Tooth & Load.
Lan, the others are cautious and haven't let go of their hands and feet yet, so He.
Lan's opponent is only Siban. teeth, in the face of the removal of Spain.
The natives outside the teeth, they are almost undefeated!
So, in their opinion, the platform. b. is already in their pocket.
Lotus.
The Lan people moved, and it stands to reason that Siban.
Tooth people should be the most nervous after all.
The Lan people have 'bought' the grapes.
There were many colonies, but this time they were not nervous at all, and quietly followed the fleet to assemble.
They didn't hide it, it was completely redundant for them, and the warships, merchant ships, and manpower were quickly retracted, waiting to set sail and conquer a land full of gold.
The Ming Dynasty has been preparing for several years, but at this juncture, it is becoming more and more tense, and it is very tense everywhere.
This kind of tension naturally comes from Zhu Xu, the navy as a whole still doesn't know much about the outside world, and it doesn't know what the red-haired man and the Francophone man look like and what their combat power is, so they just hold their breath and are ready to do a big job.
Zhu Xu also felt it, so he didn't come out very often, but he appeared in the cafeteria three times in the morning, noon and evening to boost morale, inspect the base again, and then be in his room, doing routine things.
Seeing that it was July, and the statistics of summer grain were basically out, Zhu Xu looked at the number of '20 million', and breathed a sigh of relief, the situation was much better than he expected.
"Your Majesty, this is the cabinet's request for instructions."
Cao Huachun came in and handed a notebook to Zhu Xu.
Recently, the detailed rules of the content of the 'New Deal' have gradually appeared, and more and more things have to be asked, and Zhu Xu, the emperor, has run to the southernmost side, and the trouble has increased a lot.
Zhu Xu took it and looked at it and nodded slightly.
Bi Ziyan and others launched the reform of the 'new weights and measures', suggesting that the volume unit such as 'stone bucket' be removed, refined to 'kilogram weight', and according to Zhu Xu's suggestion, a new 'simple number' should be created, etc., and preparations should be implemented this year.
Zhu Xu picked up the pen and approved the word 'quasi', which is also something that has been planned for a long time, it is nothing more than a detailed rule, and he has time and energy to do it.
Waiting for Zhu Xu to hand over the notebook, Cao Huachun brought over a plate and said, "Your Majesty, the new currency has come out, and it has been released in major banks, and there is no problem yet." ” There are three types of new coins: copper coins: one penny; Silver coins: one coin, five coins; Banknotes: one coin, five coins, one tael.
These are collectively known as Jingzheng Tongbao, whether it is the royal money or the private bank, it is not allowed to issue large silver bills, and the future circulation in the market will be the royal money bank's newly minted these 'Jingzheng Tongbao'.
Zhu Xu looked at the new coins and bowed slightly.
This is also a necessary part of rectifying the market, which will greatly increase the imperial court's ability to regulate and control the market in the future, and provide a great boost to Zhu Xu's goal of straightening out the Ming economy.
"Let Fu Tao keep an eye on it, if there is anything to report immediately, if necessary, you can deal with it decisively before reporting."
Zhu Xu said.
Issuing new coins is never a trivial matter, especially in these chaotic times.
Cao Huachun understood and said, "Obey." ” Zhu Xu continued to look at the notebook, ignoring the situation outside.
After five days in a row, Dutch.
Lan and Siban.
The news of the Tooth Man's army heading north finally reached the barracks.
In the war room, Zhu Xu stood at the front.
Zhu Yujian, Xiong Wencan, and a cadre of deputy commanders-in-chief, and staff generals gathered on both sides, looking at the huge sand table in the middle.
Zhu Yujian had a few big pieces of paper in his hand, and he said directly without looking at it, "Your Majesty, according to the news from Jinyiwei and the maritime merchants, the red-haired people and the Francois have moved, calculate the distance, and they will arrive in five days at most." ” "Tell me about their troops, their ships."
Zhu Xu said lightly.
Zhu Yujian said, "Yes, the red-haired people, there are twenty-five warships, forty-two merchant ships, less than three thousand red-haired people, five thousand servants, and about one hundred and twenty artillery."

There were 12 Franc man, 30 merchant ships, 2,000 Franc man, 3,000 servants, and 80 guns. ” When everyone heard this, they were all stunned.
One of the deputy chief soldiers looked at Zhu Yujian and said in a daze: "Lord Wang, it's gone?"
”
