"Everyone, something happened, so I summoned you here so urgently."
Ding Yunyi looked gloomy and looked at his subordinates who had been summoned urgently and didn't know what happened: "Thank you, please tell everyone."
"Yes." Xie Tian stood up: "According to reliable information, the four countries of Batavia, Hongyi Country, Franji Country, Ganrasi Country, and the United Kingdom on Java Island have signed a 'Holy Eastern Treaty'
, the four countries have formed a joint fleet, and warships from all countries have gathered on Java Island, the target is Taiwan! "
As soon as these words came out, chaos immediately arose.
The generals were all shocked and kept whispering and discussing. It was so sudden. The four countries formed a joint fleet? They were about to invade Taiwan?
Taiwan has just made progress and is suddenly facing another crisis?
The four-nation combined fleet? Can Taiwan successfully handle it on its own? Even though the Tiger Guard Navy already has a certain scale, can it deal with the warships of the four countries?
"Everyone be quiet." Ding Yunyi asked his subordinates to quiet down: "Things are as they are now, and no matter how much we say, it won't change. Everyone, our previous fights with Hongyi and Zheng Zhilong were both near misses. But
This time, it is related to the survival crisis of Taiwan and our Huben Guards. If we do not handle it properly, all our previous hard work will be ruined... I called you here just to let everyone talk about this matter.
what to do?"
"If you can fight, feel free to fight." Xie Xuan was very worried: "Although our Huben Guards are slightly larger, we are facing the combined fleet of the four countries. How to fight? What I mean is to immediately notify the imperial court and the governor of Fujian
Zhang Kentang, Zhang Kentang issued a warning, everyone sat down to negotiate...negotiation? Negotiation?" Zhang Xianxuan sneered a few times: "If we could negotiate, there would be no need to fight in Fujian, Penghu, and Liaoluowan.
There is no need to fight. Since Hongyi has come prepared, he must not give up until he achieves his goal. Fight! Fight even if all my Tiger Guards are wiped out!"
"Fight?" Xie Xuan immediately said: "What if we kill them all? What else can we use to defend Taiwan and Penghu? I know Brother Zhang is a powerful warrior, but this is a matter of our survival!"
Xiao Yifeng, who came from Penghu, thought for a while: "Vice-President, in Luowan, our Ming Dynasty also fought against the joint navy of Hongyi and Liu Xiang. It was a great victory. But while actively preparing for the war, he quickly urged Zhang Kentang and Zheng Zhilong to send troops.
, if we can gather the power of the three parties, we can form a huge deterrent to the four countries' joint navy, and this battle will be fought!"
"No!" Before Xiao Yifeng finished speaking, Qin Yun had already objected loudly: "It's easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away. Zhang Kentang and Zheng Zhilong have been staring at us in Taiwan for a long time. If we invite them here this time, it will be an opportunity.
.If we lose, they can take the opportunity to fight the Hongyi again, and Taiwan will no longer be mine. If we win, they will have an excuse to station their warships in Taiwan and Penghu for a long time. At that time, how should we respond?
After all, the deputy town officials are officials of the imperial court, can they still be expelled? Inviting them here is equivalent to putting a perfect opportunity in front of them! Besides, I have another layer of worry. If they really arrive, when
Our Huben Guard Navy is fully engaged in dealing with the combined fleets of the four countries. What should we do if they suddenly seize the Golden Eagle City?"
Xiao Yifeng was a little confused: "The deputy town was appointed by the imperial court to control Taiwan and Penghu. Do they dare to do this openly?"
"Dare, of course I dare!" Qin Yun sneered a few times: "Fujian is so far away from the capital. It will be very difficult for the imperial court to reach here. Besides, the main energy of the imperial court is now on the border and the Central Plains bandits. What happened in Fujian?
As long as it is not a rebellion, the imperial court will turn a blind eye. Moreover, the imperial court uses deputy towns to guard Taiwan and Penghu in order to allow the deputy towns to defend the two places. Apart from these, we can give the court nothing. But Zhang
What Kentang gave to the court was nothing but money! No matter how much the Holy Emperor valued the deputy town, compared with the deadly salary, which one is more important? If there is no deputy town in Taiwan, we can replace it with another one, but it can bring great benefits to the court.
The official who comes for a large sum of money cannot be exchanged for it!"
The generals nodded one after another, and Ding Yunyi couldn't help but frown.
What Qin Yun said was not wrong at all. Although he gained Chongzhen's trust, his trust was not unconditional. He used Zhang Kentang and Zheng Zhilong to control himself precisely for this purpose. No matter who Taiwan ended up with
As long as the Ming Dynasty is still in charge, it actually has nothing to do with Chongzhen. What he wants is the amount of food and wages that Fujian pays every year!
Even if he has made great contributions in Fujian, the Central Plains, and border areas, compared with hundreds of thousands of dollars, he is nothing.
The imperial court can replace itself with people anytime and anywhere.
"Invite Zhang Kentang and Zheng Zhilong. They should not be used unless it is absolutely necessary." Ding Yunyi said slowly: "The question now is not whether to fight. Fight, we must fight. We don't want to fight, and the enemy has to force us to fight! It's just this battle.
How to fight? Inviting Zhang Kentang and Zheng Zhilong is a last resort, but it is not feasible for the time being. So the question now is whether to use Golden Eagle City as a solid city and hold on to it, or to take the initiative and fight them at sea!
"
His eyes suddenly fell on Su Yang Qiuyuan, who was specially called by him: "Su Yang, I see that you haven't said a word until now. Do you have any ideas in mind?"
"I don't have any good ideas, but I have some ideas." Su Yang Qiuyuan said with a smile: "Since the deputy town decided to fight, I have nothing more to say. But Su Yang has heard a story. Back then, Qin
With the rise of the country, the five countries of Wei, Zhao, Han, Yan, and Chu followed Gongsun Yan's plan and joined forces to fight against Qin. The momentum was so great that Qin could not resist it. King Qin listened to Zhang Yi's plan, and the five countries each had their own agendas and could not fight the enemy together, so
Divide and break it. First forcing Yan to retreat, then forcing Chu to retreat, and finally gathering all the power of Qin to fight Wei, Zhao, and Han. Qin won a great victory, beheading 80,000 people, and shocked the Shandong states. From then on, no one dared to do so again.
He took the initiative to provoke Qin. I wonder if the deputy mayor has ever heard of this story?"
Of course Ding Yunyi had heard of it.
People usually think that Su Qin and Zhang Yi were political enemies, the initiators of vertical and horizontal alliances respectively, and they attacked each other. They were contemporaries. Both "Historical Records" and "Warring States Policy" record this. However, Su Qin compared
Zhang Yi died twenty-six years later. Zhang Yi was in front of him and Su Qin was behind. When Zhang Yi was the prime minister of Qin, Su Qin was still a young man who had not entered the political arena and had never interacted with Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi’s real opponent was Gongsun.
Yan, Gongsun Yan was the initiator of the combined vertical strategy.
Gongsun Yan was in Qin in the fifth year of King Huiwen of Qin and was built by Daliang. Later he lived in Wei. Chen Zhen, the envoy of Chu, was also a political strategist. He went to Wei and offered advice to Gongsun Yan. He said, "Wei Xiangtian needs to make appointments with princes to marry each other. Chu
The king is suspicious but does not believe it. If you ask the king of Wei and tell him that you have friendship with the king of Yan and Zhao. Envoys have come to invite you many times. If the king of Wei agrees to give you a car, you don’t need to ask for more. Thirty
Just take a ride on it. You display the car in the court and publicly announce that you are going to Yan and Zhao." Gongsun Yan did as he was told. The king of Yan and Zhao sent an envoy to welcome Gongsun Yan to their country. The king of Chu listened.
He said that he was furious, thinking that Tian Xu was bullying him, so he refused to listen to Tian Xu's words. When the State of Qi heard that Gongsun Yan was going to Yan and Zhao, he also sent people to entrust him with state affairs. So Gongsun Yan carried out the affairs of the Three Kingdoms, and there were
given considerable power.
After that, Gongsun Yan attacked Qin with Wei, Zhao, Han, Yan, and Chu. This attack did not win, and the army returned to Hangu Pass. However, this attack was still a famous attack on Qin. Because Xirong
Yiqu had contacts with Wei. Once, Lord Yiqu came to Wei. Gongsun Yan took this opportunity to advise Lord Yiqu to be more vigilant against Qin. He said, if nothing happens in the Central Plains, Qin will burn, kill and plunder you.
If something happens in the Central Plains, Qin will send heavy coins to make friends with you. Later, the five countries attacked Qin. It happened that at this time, Qin Yiqu's literary work was pure and beautiful, and he had hundreds of beauties. Yiqujun gathered his ministers to discuss this.
Lord Yiqu said that this was what Gongsun Yan said back then. So he raised an army to attack Qin and defeated the Qin people.
Gongsun Yan's alliance was still very effective, but when he met Zhang Yi, he was finally defeated by Zhang Yi's alliance plan, and the Five Kingdoms Alliance was finally completely disintegrated.
This was the story told by Su Yang Qiuyuan. Ding Yunyi quickly understood: "You mean, now these four countries are united, and I should join forces to break them?"
"That's right!" Su Yang Qiuyuan nodded and said: "How similar is the current situation to Gongsun Yan's alliance of five kingdoms? There has never been a war between Yan and Qin, and there is no territorial dispute between Chu and Qin. We really want to fight with Qin.
The only ones who fight to the death are Wei, Zhao, Han and Jin. As for the so-called four-nation combined fleet, we have never had a direct conflict with the Ganrasi people and the Folangji people. We even have trade relations with them, and even have continuous business relationships with the United Kingdom.
We have never met each other, so how can there be a conflict? The only real enemy is the Red Barbarian. I predict that in the naval battle, the main enemy will be the Red Barbarian. If we lose, the three countries will take the opportunity to take advantage. If we win,
, then the Three Kingdoms will definitely take the initiative to withdraw their troops! They may not be willing to go all out to help the Hongyi!"
"Okay!" Ding Yunyi stood up with an "ooh" and said loudly: "Su Yang's words of seeking fate are the same as what I am thinking. How can the four-nation combined fleet be so reliable? Fight, fight resolutely! But in my heart
What I want is not just to fight a red barbarian!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's spirits were lifted, and Ding Yunyi said loudly:
"Everyone, among the four countries, Hongyi Country, Folangji Country, Ganlasi Country, and the United Kingdom, Ganlasi has trade relations with us. They don't know how to fight. They are just bluffing and want to get some benefits from it. I want to send someone to come to
Go to the dry silk people and find Hurtado de Cocuera. Tell him that as long as he can stand still, Taiwan will also grant him trading rights. The dry silk fleet travels between Taiwan, Penghu, and Fujian.
, will never be obstructed by me. If he doesn't agree... Ding Yunyi sneered: "Tell him, even if my Huben Guards Navy is defeated, I will lead the remaining defeated soldiers and join the pirates, and from then on, I will attack his Lu day and night.
Song Dynasty and all the dry silk fleets continued to attack, and no ship could reach Luzon, and no ship from Luzon could sail. At the same time, a tree and a puff of smoke, which were active in the nearby waters at the same time, led their fleet
, cruising in the sea outside Luzon, showing the appearance of being ready to attack Luzon at any time! But it is a difficult problem to choose the candidate to negotiate with Cocuera... Father Marco is the most suitable, but he is about to go on an expedition with the expedition fleet, whether he will temporarily
Is he going to stay?" Qin Yun suggested from the side.
"No, the voyage fleet will go to sea as planned without any delay." Ding Yunyi flatly refused.
Qin Yun frowned: "Then there is another choice, that is Simond from Jinzhou. Although this man is not old, he knows several languages and is very smart. He can be sent to convey the Lord's wishes.
"
"Well, this guy can do it." Ding Yunyi nodded: "I'll find him soon."
As he said that, he looked at the generals: "The problem of dried wax silk has been solved, and the rest will be easy to deal with. Britain does not have much power, so defeat Britain first! Then attack the fleets of Hongyi and Franji!"
The generals were shocked when they heard that the deputy commander actually wanted to attack the fleets of three countries at the same time with one against three?
"If you want to fight, then fight so hard that they will never dare to look at Taiwan again!" Ding Yunyi said with murderous intent: "Once the war starts, attack the British ships with all your strength. The only ones who dare to save are Hongyi, Fo Langji and the British.
We have always had conflicts. Although we are temporarily in alliance, we are definitely unwilling to rescue them with all our strength. I will use my main force to attack the British, and my secondary force to hold back the red barbarians, and use force to deter the French. It is up to me to take the initiative!"
"What if the Folangji Kingdom comes to rescue with all its strength?" Ye Dahai, who had not spoken for a long time, asked.
"Gather the dead men on the Clippers!" Ding Yunyi said loudly: "Every ship is piled with fire starters. As long as Fo Langji dares to move, he will light the clippers at all costs and rush towards Fo Langji's ship to let the Fo Langji people know.
, these Clippers dead men are here to fight!"
"Deputy Town, I am willing to lead these Clipper soldiers!"
Looking over there, it was Wang Wei who wanted to be a general!
Ding Yunyi looked at it with his eyes: "The dead men on the Clippers will never come back. Nine times out of ten they will die. Are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid!" Wang Wei's voice was loud: "But if I survive, what will I do if I am promoted to deputy mayor?"
"I will promote you to guard duty!" Ding Yunyi said with a smile: "How does this officer look like?"
"Okay! Keep your word!" Wang Wei was not afraid of backlash.
"Although Zhang Kentang and Zheng Zhilong cannot be allowed to intervene, they must be informed." Ding Yunyi pondered for a while: "I will go to Fuzhou in person to report the matter to them. Tell them that Taiwan is about to fight for the Ming Dynasty.
, let them figure it out by themselves. Send out the main flag of the pirate alliance and let all fleets move closer to Taiwan! Everyone, fight for Taiwan!"
"I am willing to fight to the death with you!"
"Don't die, live!" Ding Yunyi took a deep breath and said slowly: "You all have to survive for me. Taiwan cannot be lost, and you cannot die. This time I will gather all of Taiwan, all of Penghu, and all of the pirates
The power of the alliance will prevent the countries in Europe and the West from facing Taiwan!"
