Carinho really didn't expect His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire to come to Fuzhou, and he didn't expect that there would be so many gunboats in Fuzhou Port.

The gunboats he saw were not only tower ship gunboats, but also light gunboats with six guns.

This really shocked him.

Needless to say, the tower ships and gunboats are simply a symbol of maritime hegemony.

He originally thought that the Ming Empire did not have tower ships and gunboats, but he originally thought that the Ming Empire was just invincible on land.

Now it seems, it is not at all.

The Ming Empire was also amazingly powerful at sea. It would be fine if a tower ship was gunboat, but those light gunboats were terrifying.

He was also a naval general and had experienced naval battles, so he naturally knew how difficult this light gunboat was in naval battles.

Once this light gunboat has reached a certain level, it will be terrible.

If someone rushes up desperately, the gunboats of the stairs will be sunk!

And now he saw hundreds of light gunboats, and the artillery equipped by others was all big, more than twice as large as the artillery equipped by their gunboats.

If these light gunboats rushed forward, all the warships and armed merchant ships under the Governor Luzon now combined will probably not be able to do it!

The Ming Empire was so powerful that he was a little daunting.

Therefore, he decided that no matter what, he would never go to war with the Ming Empire. At least, he would never go to war with the Ming Empire when he was in his next position as governor of Luzon.

If the Spanish king knew about this idea, he would not know if he would be allowed to serve as the next Governor of Luzon.

Spain did not know whether it was a blessing or a disaster to become the governor of Luzon by the strength of the Ming Dynasty.

In short, after seeing the true strength of the Ming Navy, he would never dare to provoke the Ming Dynasty.

He was standing on the dock in a daze, and suddenly a burst of horse hooves came from the distance.

Immediately afterwards, the people watching the fun near the dock were cleared. I don’t know how many iron-armored cavalry lined up from the dock to Fuzhou City, without even seeing the head at all.

Those who bought the cakes actually had iron armored cavalry in the Ming Empire!

The armored cavalry can be said to be a nightmare for the continental countries.

You know, when the Mongols and Yuan Dynasty marched westward to the continent, there were only 30,000 to 40,000 iron-armored cavalry.

At that time, Prince Badu led these 30,000 to 40,000 iron-armored cavalry to destroy more than ten major Duchess of Ross, defeated the Pod coalition, defeated the Hungarian army and the Olidi army, and fought to the banks of the Danube in one fell swoop.

The entire Central and Southern Europe was swept across these 30,000 to 40,000 iron-armored cavalry, and the Danube was killed by others!

In the end, if it weren't for the internal strife of Badu's subordinates, he had to withdraw his troops, and it would have been expected that the continent would have been destroyed by these 30,000 to 40,000 iron-armored cavalry!

This iron armored cavalry is really terrible!

Carinho carefully followed Luo Sigong behind him, looking at the densely packed iron-armored cavalry along the way, he was almost frightened.

Such a powerful Ming Empire must not be provoked!

Since then, he has made up his mind that no matter what, he will definitely not provoke the Ming Empire.

After seeing Taichang, he was like a minister of the Ming Dynasty, with a respectful face and careful care.

This is what Taichang wants.

He sat there with a smile and waited for Carenio to finish his salute, then raised his hand and said, "Get up, why did you run over so early?"

Oh, this tone seems to be more friendly than last time.

It seems that His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire has a very good impression of me.

Carinho quickly smiled and said, "His Majesty Emperor, the reason why I came here so early is actually to buy more goods. Because I was too hasty last time and I didn't have enough time to wait in Taicang Port, so I didn't have enough goods to enter."

This guy is really aware of money.

It is really a bit strange for these colonial countries in Europe. They actually let these naval generals do business, and such naval generals can still be promoted step by step!

Perhaps, they only have money in their eyes.

Taichang nodded slightly, then asked again: "What are the Dutch's intentions during this period?"

When Carinho heard this, he woke up like a dream, "Oh, damn, I almost forgot about this! His Majesty the Emperor, according to the information we have found, the Dutch are gathering warships and armed merchant ships, and they should be preparing to attack you."

So fast!

When Taichang heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised and said, "Are you sure?"

Carinho nodded without hesitation and said, "I'm sure, because last time we purchased a large amount of goods from Taicang and transported them back to the continent, they seized their market. Moreover, their trade with Japan was also greatly hit by the opening of the sea ban by the Ming Empire. The main trading country of the Dutch in the Far East was Japan. Now many things in Japan have been purchased from the Ming Dynasty, and their interests in the Far East have also been greatly affected. Therefore, they will definitely attack you."

Oh, so arrogant?

All money can only be made by them, but we can’t make money?

The maritime overlord is amazing!

Taichang couldn't help but snorted coldly: "We also caught the Dutch trade representative in the Ming Dynasty some time ago. This guy also encouraged pirates to cause trouble on the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty. Is this also the Dutch instructed?"

When Carinho heard this, he nodded repeatedly and said, "Of course, this is the prelude to the Dutch attacking you. This method is the most commonly used method. First, it will cause you to continue civil strife, and then launch an attack. Your Majesty the Emperor, you must be careful, they may be called in a few months."

I'm afraid you often use this trick, right?

It doesn't matter, the pirates have been wiped out by me, and a few months are enough to repair Penghu and the Acropolis in Dongfan.

Taichang said calmly: "Didn't the contract we signed last time say, are we going to deal with the Dutch together? I don't need you to help defend the southeast coast. Can you take advantage of the Dutch's attack on the Ming Dynasty to attack their old nest Batavia?"

He is urging fire.

If the Dutch and the Spanish fought in Nanyang, it would be much easier for the Ming Dynasty to take Nanyang.

Because the only navies of these two families can pose a threat to the Ming Navy. If they can consume each other, it will naturally be the most beneficial to the Ming Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, Carinho shook his head awkwardly and said, "His Majesty the Emperor, we probably can't do this, because the Dutch navy is stronger than us, and Batavia has built two bastions. Even if we gather all the warships and armed merchant ships to fight, it is useless. We can't fight at all, so we can only lose the warships and armed merchant ships in vain."

You guys are so good?

Taichang said in confusion: "What if the Dutch ran to attack you, can you stand it?"

Carinho couldn't help but shook his head and said, "This is also impossible. We have built a bastion and a turret in Manila, and there are tens of thousands of troops stationed in the army alone. Even if their navy is stronger than us, it will be difficult for them to successfully land. In other words, even if they gather warships and armed merchant ships to attack Manila, they can only eat shells at sea. They will not do such stupid things."

Then what else can you do?

Taichang said a little displeased: "What you do to cooperate means is our Ming Dynasty to do our work? What are you doing nothing?"

Don't be angry!

Carinho quickly shook his head and said, "No, although we cannot attack Batavia, it is still OK to intercept their defeated fleet. As long as your Ming Empire can defeat their fleet, we guarantee that they will not be able to return to Batavia by a single ship!"

This is almost the same.

Perhaps, at that time, we can deliberately let the Dutch ships go and let them fight with the Spanish.

Once the two sides fight, it will not be so easy to stop!

Taichang thought about it again, then tentatively said: "You should have seen the warships of my navy under my command. Do you think these warships are enough to deal with the Dutch Far East Fleet?"

How to answer this question?

When Carinho heard this, he was stunned.

The warship he just saw was naturally fine to deal with their Spanish Far East Fleet. The problem was that the Dutch Fleet was stronger than them, and the stronger one was not a little bit.

He thought about it carefully, and then asked carefully: "Your Majesty the Emperor, I don't know how the warships under your command are moving. I didn't see sails and masts on the warships just now, so I can't judge the speed of these warships at all. Speed ​​is very important in naval battles."

Taichang said nonsense without hesitation: "Those warships are all stepped on by humans. Haven't you seen that there are wheels on both sides of the warships?"

Use humans to step on it!

Such a large warship can move?

Carinho said in confusion: "His Majesty the Emperor, let alone the tower ship gunboat, just say that kind of warship with six guns. If there is no sail, can people step on it?"

Taichang continued to say nonsense: "One or two people naturally cannot step on such warships, and it will be different if there are too many people. The bottom layer of the six-cannon warship has thirty or forty people taking turns to step on the gunboats of the building ships. Therefore, these warships are still moving very quickly, almost as fast as when sailing ships go with the wind."

Well, the Ming Empire is indeed crowded.

Carinho didn't expect that so many people would step on the water wheels at the bottom of those warships.

You know, they are not worthy of thirty or forty people in total, a warship with six artillery!

It would be even more terrifying if someone could step on a boat as fast as a sailing boat when it was windy, and the Dutch probably couldn't do it.

He thought for a while, then nodded and said, "If this is the case, there should be no problem. The Dutch would not be able to transfer all the Far East Fleets. With the warships anchored at the port, it should be no problem to defeat the fleet they sent."

Taichang is actually misleading this guy.

Of course he knew that there was no problem with the Ming Navy defeating the Dutch fleet, because he also had two fleets, the Nanyang Navy and the Beiyang Navy.

The reason why he asked someone was to hide the secret of the steam engine was that it made people mistakenly think that the underside of the ship was full of people trampling.
