PS: There are only three chapters tonight, and there is one chapter at about ten o'clock. I stayed up late and wrote continuously. The snail really couldn't stand it anymore. I had some headaches and fever these two days, so I could only insist on writing another chapter. The snail remembers that last time I owe everyone a chapter. When the snail gets better, the snail will make up for it. Sorry, please forgive me.

"Your Highness! Your Highness!"

Yang Chengye trotted all the way toward the first-class sailing warship, with a hint of anxiety on his face.

Xiao Ming and Yue Yun were excited. Seeing Yang Chengye like this, they looked at each other with some unknown premonition.

When he arrived at the first-class warship, Yang Chengye also climbed up. He seemed to be in the mood to care about the warship, but said, "Your Highness, something happened. A fishermen from Dashi Village came to report that they saw a group of strange-looking people while fishing at sea, and their ships were somewhat similar to our Garen ship."

"Strange people?" Xiao Ming and Yue Yun were shocked, and Xiao Ming asked, "What do they look like?"

"They were tall, with red hair and fired at them with muskets. Three fishermen were injured, and their three-colored horizontal banners were hung on them."

“What color is the flag?”

"The top is red, the middle is white, and the bottom is blue." Yang Chengye recalled the fisherman's words and said.

"Your Highness, this is undoubtedly the Dutch." Yue Yun said nervously: "If they discovered our military port, it would be troublesome. The Dutch had just defeated the King of Chu and came to Dengzhou at this time, it must be that the people who came here were not good."

Xiao Ming's face was a little gloomy. The distance from Ryukyu Island to Dengzhou was 1,500 kilometers. The Dutch warships appeared in Dengzhou at this time, of course, not for tourism.

There is only one explanation, there are things related to the interests of the Dutch, and he believes that the Dutch are not passing by.

"King of Chu!"

Xiao Ming said this name lightly, and Li Wei told him about the King of Chu's reception of the Dutch envoy. He didn't know what the King of Chu said to the Dutch, but after defeating the King of Chu, the Dutch appeared in Dengzhou, and there must be something tricky about it.

After thinking about it carefully, Xiao Ming suddenly realized that Li Wei said that when the Dutch defeated the King of Chu's fleet, he forced the King of Chu to buy a coercine. In the past, the King of Chu wanted to buy it himself, but now he was forced. It must be the King of Chu who told the Dutch that he had cheaper coercine purchases.

At this time, he will definitely tell himself out.

After clarifying his thoughts, Xiao Ming said: "Now we will immediately send fishing boats along the coast to detect the situation at sea, monitor the location of the Dutch. In addition, few people know the location of the bay, and the Dutch are not clear. But just in case, Yue Yun, you will now lead three warships to guard the outside of the bay."

"Yes, Your Highness." Yue Yun's expression became cold. Now only the three warships in the past were loaded with artillery.

If the Dutch were filled into the bay, the newly launched warships would be all gone. To him, these warships were his life and he would not let this happen.

After arranging these two things, Xiao Ming lost the mood to continue watching the warships. He and Yang Chengye got off the boat and walked towards the shore. He said, "The Dutch and Japan have close contacts. They don't know about this bay, but some Japanese pirates in Dengzhou City are very familiar with them. In order to prevent accidents, the Dengzhou army immediately entered the city to defend."

Ye Qingyun cried out: "Your Highness, these Dutch people have muskets. Now the Dengzhou army is still full of bows and arrows and swords. How can we fight with the Dutch people?"

Frowning, Xiao Ming said, "I know that you generals have opinions about your preference for Qingzhou Army, but now it is not the time to say this. It is not that you will not equip you with muskets, but that the production of muskets takes time. After Youzhou Army, you Dengzhou Army will be."

Ye Qingyun's thoughts were seen through by Xiao Ming immediately smiled foolishly, "Your Highness is so wise that he can see the thoughts of the General of the Mo at a glance. Okay, only with His Highness's words, the soldiers of the Dengzhou Army felt relieved. The General of the Mo at this moment will summon the soldiers into the city now."

Xiao Ming nodded, but he really didn't expect the Dengzhou army to fight against the Dutch. After all, the Dutch at this stage was not something that the Dengzhou army could deal with, and Dengzhou had no cavalry, and his plate armor had no advantage over infantry.

"In addition, you immediately sent someone to Qingzhou at night and asked Niu Ben to send Qingzhou troops to Dengzhou immediately." Xiao Ming continued.

Ye Qingyun nodded and got ashore. He immediately urged his horse to go towards the direction of Dengzhou Camp.

Yang Chengye said at this time: "Your Highness, Dengzhou is so dangerous now. Please don't enter the city, just stay in the bay. Otherwise, if your highness fails, the subordinate will be responsible for his death."

Xiao Ming said: "The situation is not clear now, so don't be so pessimistic. The Dutch will be afraid of knowing that I own a musket. By the way, where is Dashi Village?"

Yang Chengye said: "Dashi Village is in the opposite direction of the bay, about 150 miles away from Dengzhou City."

"If you say so, the Dutch fleet should be about to resist the beach outside Dengzhou." Xiao Ming was a little worried.

This bay is thirty miles away from Dengzhou and is hidden behind two huge reefs. The two reefs soaring into the sky are like the gates of the bay. Speaking of which, this harbor is still very hidden.

After arranging the current important matters, Yang Chengye immediately returned to Dengzhou City. Now Dengzhou City needs him to take charge, while Xiao Ming stayed in the bay and watched the changes.

Now he can only pray that Chen Qi's artillery and Qingzhou army will be in place soon, otherwise the preparations for a year may be shattered at any time.

That night, Xiao Ming lived in the military port. At noon the next day, the scout of the Dengzhou army heard news that the Dutch fleet was docking on the sea directly north of Dengzhou City. About a thousand Dutch soldiers wearing gray uniforms and carrying muskets took a boat to the beach.

At the same time, about 2,000 Japanese pirates followed the Dutch to the ashore. Under the guidance of the Japanese pirates, the Dutch were heading towards Dengzhou City.

"Japanese pirates and the Dutch?" The situation that Xiao Ming was most reluctant to see appeared.

In the era of great colonial times, Western countries would never rule the colonies by relying solely on their own strength, because in the colonies there were naturally indigenous people who were willing to assist them in their rule.

This is similar to the rule of the barbarians.

The news he received said that the Dutch had 10,000 troops, but Xiao Ming guessed that the real Dutch would not exceed 3,000.

Now this news proves his guess from the side.

This is good news for him, but there is also bad news. Now it seems that the Dutch are focusing on supporting Japan, and with the Japanese urination, it will definitely make the Dutch very happy at this time.

Otherwise, the Dutch would not have made peace with the Japanese pirates and appeared outside Dengzhou City now.

"Four thousand people." Xiao Ming calculated the strength of the Dengzhou army.

Since the establishment of General Port here, he has allowed the Dengzhou army to expand its army. Now there are 10,000 troops.

But now Xiao Ming has no confidence in the 4,000 pure firearms troops.
