As the group leader, Emperor Chongzhen naturally had the right to view all private chats in the group. Therefore, Wang Chengen saw all the contacts in the chat group. This was the first person to use the chat group as a tool to conduct private chats to solve problems. Before that, neither Wen Tiren nor Liu Xingzuo did this, and most of them reported it directly to him.

Emperor Chongzhen was actually very pleased with this situation. The number of members in the chat group was increasing, and naturally, there were more and more things. Although they were asked to sort out the chat situation in the chat group and finally went to the queen to sort out a final draft for themselves to read, people's energy was limited after all. If everyone else could take the initiative to use the chat group like Wang Chengen, and this was completely under his own monitoring, it would save a lot of effort.

For example, this time, I have been concerned about food issues, and I am paying attention to the cultivation and cultivation of grain fields in Liaodong, and I have less energy in other aspects. Then Wang Chengen himself verified the members of the chat group, and he found a small minion among Liu Xiang's pirates. Just like Ma San before, he persuaded him to provide information, knowing that a large number of pirates in Liu Xiang's nest were waiting for the rabbits, waiting for Zheng Zhilong to come. The more valuable information is that the Dutch in Taiwan was finally going to fight against the Ming Dynasty, just like in the original history.

Although Emperor Chongzhen was a little regretful, he didn't care at all. Because he knew that these colonists in the Netherlands still liked to colonize at the root, rather than doing business in a regular manner. Or that their colonization in other countries and regions was too smooth, and they felt that although they had suffered a defeat in their contact with the Ming Dynasty, they believed that the Ming Dynasty had relied on conspiracy and many people, and they forced their supplies to cut off their supplies. In terms of real combat power, they still looked down on the Ming Dynasty's small boats and cannons.

Also, the Dutch have always occupied Taiwan and even wanted the Ming Dynasty to give them a place to station the fleet on land. This kind of thing is unacceptable for Emperor Chongzhen, whose soul comes from later generations. Since that is the case, then it will be done. Although the issue of importing food will be affected, we cannot compromise on it. If that is the case, it will be a waste of time travel.

There is food in the South Ocean, and the Ming Dynasty sent a navy to obtain it. If the navy's strength is not enough, then vigorously develop the navy. If there is not enough time, then gather all the navy from the Ming Dynasty and let several shipyards build ships. I really don't believe it. Some birds from small Western countries can show off their power in front of the Ming Dynasty? This is also an opportunity. It can give you enough reasons and let all civil and military officials know the importance and urgency of developing a navy. It can also use the Ming Dynasty's influence to promote the South Ocean through the Ming Dynasty's navy, laying the foundation for future vassals to enfeoff overseas. Otherwise, the Western Barbarians will always control the South China Sea. If there is any situation in the Ming Dynasty to achieve it through the Western Barbarians, it will not be conducive to the Ming Dynasty's future national policy.

Emperor Chongzhen learned from the chat group that the pirates were about to attack Taiping Port tomorrow, and he also knew that this side was on high alert. However, based on the current situation, there was some regret. Forget it, it was impossible for everything to be successful, just wait for the outcome of tomorrow's battle!

Emperor Chongzhen thought so, so he hugged Concubine Yuan and rested.

The next day at dawn, the sky in the east showed a hint of whiteness and became brighter and brighter. It is estimated that in no time, the rising sun will jump out of the mountains and illuminate the world.

At this time, small black dots appeared faintly on the sea outside Taiping Port, more and more. If these small black dots were close, they could be seen clearly. They were all large ships with bows, mostly hanging skeleton flags symbolizing pirates.

On one of the warships, a man was holding a monocular telescope with a serious face and was observing the Taiping Port. Around him, there were pirate leaders such as Liu Xiang and Li Guozhu. They had no telescopes and could not see the situation in Taiping Port clearly, so they could only look at Putmans using a telescope.

They call this monocular telescope Craneo. If you have this thing at sea, you can discover the situation in time and respond early than others. It is a very powerful thing. It’s just a pity that at present, there are only Red Wizards and those Folang Ji people who can’t buy it with money, and you can only envy it.

Liu Xiang and other pirate leaders were thinking this way, and they were also looking forward to good news. After all, everyone has run here. If it weren't for the same as expected before, the ship sent by Zheng Yiguan came back first, it would be more difficult to attack.

"Yes, there are not many warships in Taiping Harbor!" Putmans put down his monocular lens and said with a smile on his face.

Although they couldn't understand Putmans' bird song at the first time, they could get some information through his expression. After hearing the translation, they were so happy that they couldn't help but be overjoyed. Liu Xiang even slapped his third leader, Liang Xiaozhen's shoulder and said loudly: "Third brother, it's good, you brought this news in time. I'll turn back and remember your first achievements!"

"..." Liang Xiaozhen could only smile bitterly in her heart when she heard this, but she immediately responded, "I dare not, I just told what I heard about. It was the boss who analyzed this fighter with you!"

Liu Xiang and others thought he was modest and didn't care. They turned to look at Taipinggang, just like a pervert who saw a naked beauty, or a miser who saw a mountain of gold, and they all smiled happily.

"Let's go back to your own ship and prepare for attack!" Liu Xiang raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, Taiping Port can be filled with sea goods. I have to say first. I can only keep half of the things I have grabbed. The others must be handed over according to the credit!"

This was decided before. Liu Xiang just emphasized again when the matter was about to come, because he was afraid that some pirates would not be clean. If they find out, don’t blame him for being rude!

When these pirate leaders heard this, they immediately scattered around, climbed down and boarded their own boats, and headed towards their fleet. Looking at their anxious actions, it was easy to find that they were already impatient.

When the sun jumped out of the mountain and shone on the earth, the pirate fleet was already very close to Taiping Port. At this time, the pirates could hear the Ming army on the shore ringing the gong in panic, and the "clang" sounded in a whole lot. As we saw in front of us, there were indeed not many naval warships in Taiping Port. Although they were all preparing to fight, the number was too small. The pirates were waving their swords and guns, waiting to get up to fight and go ashore to grab the sea goods.
