Chapter 356 Blockade (Part 2)

However, the current situation is completely beyond the expectations of the time travelers. They seem to be hostile to all forces. Except for the lowest-level people who can do whatever they want to eat, all the formed forces have a hostile attitude towards them.

The maritime thieves sent to contact the alliance, such as Li Dan and others, were not friendly to them and regarded them as maritime threats. Later, Zheng Zhilong gained his trust by acting as an interpreter for Li Dan. After Li Dan passed away, he was able to make a fortune quickly by accepting his legacy. Of course, Yan Siqi's fleet also had Yan Siqi's fleet.

Yan Siqi was still engaged in trade with Japan as a base, and was also a large maritime force integrating thieves and merchants. These indigenous forces that dominated the East Asian waters at this time were all hostile to the newly emerging travelers.

The sharp deterioration of this situation is beyond imagination by time travelers. Originally, they had a smooth development at the beginning. Although there were some conflicts at first, they then received a long buffer period and received a lot of time to develop. Not only did a base be successfully built, but the industrial base has also begun to be initially built, and various modern technologies are being put into use on the ground.

But I don’t know when they started, but they became difficult. Things that could have been easily done now require several times more effort. In diplomacy and trade, these things that require dealing with large indigenous forces have become much more difficult. Fortunately, the research on industrial science and technology and the recruitment of the lower indigenous peoples are still as smooth as before, but the lack of large amounts of raw materials imports and the industry cannot develop rapidly.

Although exported goods, modern industrial products represented by mirrors, are still popular, there are always problems in cash collection. Many merchants are unwilling to pay cash and are always delayed again and again. The materials purchased from many ports in the Ming Dynasty are always obstructed and cannot be shipped in time. They are either robbed by pirates in the middle of the journey, or they may accidentally sink.

The meeting held by the time travelers quickly decided to break this dilemma with force. Just as Britain broke the Qing Dynasty's sealed country by force in the Opium War, they also prepared a war to obtain a smooth supply of materials. Moreover, the war must be bloody enough to deter all maritime forces and make them feel scared to gain maritime hegemony.

The target of this war cannot be too far away, and must be famous enough to deter other forces, and must also be a perfect port that can obtain a large amount of materials.

This chapter: Madman, hand-kill)

The continuous use of raw materials from this era to make weapons without energy. With modern weapons and ammunition alone, the more you fight, the fewer and fewer weapons will be killed. When the weapon advantage is lost, the travelers will not have the confidence to deal with the vast indigenous forces, especially when they are generally hostile to themselves.

There are many benefits to conquering Macau. On the one hand, it can greatly deter other maritime forces, and on the other hand, it can quickly smuggle and trade a large amount of materials from the Ming Dynasty with the help of geographical advantages. Secondly, it will cause Europeans to suffer a great loss, so that they will not dare to join forces easily, so as not to become the next one to emerge.

At the same time, occupying Macau can further threaten the Dutch trade routes and also occupy a good pirate base. When normal trade is not met, the travelers no longer care about the influence of their reputation and decided to use pirates to snatch merchant ship supplies at sea. At most, goods are worth living to meet the current development needs. Anyway, plundering is a common means of capital development, and they do not have much psychological burden. Of course, when doing such a thing as a matter of losing their children and grandchildren, they cannot use their own banner, and it is necessary to disguise it. It is easy for Macau to attack everywhere and plunder merchant ships at sea.

The Dutch used 600 people to conquer Macau, but instead left more than 100 bodies. The Zhuming Dynasty could only rely on trade blockade to make Macau decline, but could not recover it by force. It can be seen that the Portuguese occupying Macau was not so easy to defeat, and the fortress they built would not be so easy to break. But all this was not a problem for the time travelers who decided to use modern force.

After careful study, the travelers analyzed and studied the Portuguese forces occupying Macau at that time. They finally decided to launch a thunder strike two weeks later to take Macau over. Their decision was entirely due to the increasingly difficult inventory of materials. Near the Penghu Islands, ships traveling on this trade route often took a long time to appear, and it was not easy to rob.

This strike has important retaliation significance and will have a major deterrent effect on the Spaniards, the English, and even the Dutch. The Portuguese have been in decline in Asia. It is not even a du Li country now. It has been annexed by the Spaniards and will not be du Li until 1640. It is better to use it. Even if it sends troops to retaliate, it will take one or two years. This period of time is extremely valuable to the time travelers.

……………………

Two weeks later, it was a clear day. The expeditionary force of the four steamers and dozens of small pirate sailboats followed by the crossing expeditionary forces officially set out to Macau. The crossing people who were slapped by the Europeans had gathered enough resentment. They originally planned to live in peace with these maritime forces for a long time, and the two sides traded with each other. They relied on exporting higher-tech industrial products to exchange for various essential materials for the development of industrial raw materials. This was actually a favorable thing for Europeans who came to East Asia mainly for trade.

But unexpectedly, without notice, these Europeans suddenly launched a joint attack without notice, smashing the bases that the travelers worked hard to establish. If the travelers had not built a new bastion from the beginning for safety and rescinded the attack with the newly completed fortress, they would have been really taken over by a group of 17th-century barbarians. This was a great shame for the time travelers who regarded these ancient people in the 17th century as natives. This attack on Macau was not so much to open up a trade and plunder port, but rather to vent their generally accumulated resentment.

When Li Lin learned the news, he was a little surprised that attacking Macau was not a very good idea. Now, whether from the perspective of revenge or from the perspective of interests, the time travelers still have to endure for a while, gather more indigenous people, expand their power, and have a year or two to explore Taiwan. Even if they use cold weapons to deal with it, save and use modern weapons, they can steadily lay their foundation. But now they rashly take all their strength and make every effort to make a desperate bet. Although success is inevitable, after all, the Portuguese fortress will definitely not be able to withstand the 21st century cannon, but the turmoil caused by the force may not necessarily be able to cope with it.

However, although he had treated many time travelers at this time, he still had no say in this major policy. The only gain was that he began to understand the common character elements of this group of time travelers from this action and his long-term observations during this period, which was that he could not bear it.

Even their leader, Mr. Hao, could only calm down at the beginning. Once he encountered setbacks, under the control of the general emotions of the entire time traveler, he would find it difficult to continue to adhere to the original policies and could only succumb to the opinions of the public. Li Lin has discovered that the composition and character of this group of time traveler were mainly young people and had a contradictory personality. On the one hand, they were extremely afraid of death, and on the other hand, they were very extreme. It was easy to take extreme measures against those indigenous forces that violated him. This action was just a collective reflection of this personality.

This is also one of the reasons why Mr. Hao, the oldest, can become the highest leader. They seem to realize that they lack personality in this area and are difficult to gain an advantage in this battle for hegemony. However, Mr. Hao obviously had to obey their ideas to a large extent, and the two sides formed a balance and constraint.

…………………………

The cannons in the 21st century were roaring, and the entire Macau Peninsula was trembling. The several castles built by the Portuguese, although they were quite far from the coastline, were still within the bombardment range of naval guns. The range of modern naval guns was unimaginable to people in the 17th century. The entire area of ​​Macau was within the range of their cannons.

Several Portuguese warships that tried to attack were smashed into pieces in the distance without exception, leaving only burning flames. From time to time, sailors emerged from the sea and shouted for help, but they were greeted with merciless bullets.

In the artillery fire, the Portuguese soldiers who had no ability to counterattack quickly collapsed. They fled from the fortress in scattered. Facing the invisible enemies, they could not fight against them. The fortress was destroyed, and human bodies were shattered by bombs, sprinkling blood rain. Fortunately, for the sake of later considerations, the travelers did not bombard the city, but attacked the forts, fortresses and other military facilities along the coast in turn.

The three hundred crossings and the mixed army of indigenous people successfully landed on the land of Macau. The indigenous people used spears and big swords and shields as vanes. They had two hundred people, and the crossings selected one hundred people with military experience to participate in the operation. Everyone was ordered to kill all European faces who did not surrender and cut off their heads to intimidate those Europeans who dared to attack them.

For safety reasons, Li Lin also participated in the operation with the ship. He watched the travelers unscrupulously kill each Western Kong in front of them. No matter what they shouted, it was obvious that the previous attacks brought great resentment to these people. They couldn't wait to vent this, especially the history of Westerners' modern invasion of China, which was originally one of the biggest driving forces for them to enter this time and space.

"Bang" A priest from the church of Jesus was killed on the road. He originally wanted to call out a few Europeans hiding behind the wall to hide in the church, but was discovered by a time traveler who appeared in the distance and shot him to death.

"Since you don't want peace and trade, then use iron and blood to solve it!" The fanatical traveler murmured to himself. He was wearing a German World War II SS uniform and was holding a high-precision sniper rifle to slaughter any Western Kong people in his vision. Whether they are old men or children, men or women, as long as they appear in front of him for a minute, they will be destined to be corpses.

As the main force of the attack, the time travelers were killing the Europeans wantonly, while the pirates following them began to plunder the city. In addition to following the instructions of these leaders and not plundering the shops and houses of Chinese merchants, the Europeans' warehouses, shops and churches became their targets of plunder, and as for killing people, they were their specialty.

The whole Macau fell into smoke of gunpowder. This massacre that had never happened in history came to this city. Europeans have always massacred the natives of the East. Now the same fate has come to them. There is no reason and no identification. Some are only iron and fire.
