The Dutch, the overlord of the sea, is about to come!

In terms of the navy, the Ming Dynasty was enough to deal with it, because when the Ming Dynasty was at its most declining in history, the navy could defeat the Dutch fleet, not to mention that the Ming Dynasty was booming and becoming stronger at this time.

It can be said that as long as the Dutch were not crazy and attacked with all their strength, the three major navy fleets of the Ming Dynasty would be enough to defeat them.

The most important thing at this moment is to prevent the Dutch from running around if they can't beat it, rushing to Penghu or landing in the East, and building supply points or even city fortresses.

This is what the Dutch did in history. They landed in the Eastern Banner during the Tianqi period and built a city fortress. It was not until the fifteenth year of Yongli in the Southern Ming Dynasty that Zheng Chenggong led his army to recover the Eastern Banner.

In other words, in history, the Dutch occupied the Eastern Ban for decades.

How could the territory of the Ming Dynasty allow colonists to set foot in!

Taichang naturally would not allow the Dutch to settle in Dongfan or Penghu, so as soon as Carenho left, he immediately sent an order to all parties, preparing to draw the Tunwei Jingzhuang to Dongfan and Penghu to build the acropolis.

There is nothing to hesitate at this time. Since we have been sure that the Dutch will call in a few months, we must make sufficient preparations in advance.

He decided to draw 120,000 elite troops from the Tunwei at one time to build six acropolis, namely the Eastern Frontier, the Eastern Frontier, the Eastern Frontier, the Eastern Frontier, the Eastern Frontier, the Eastern Frontier, the Eastern Frontier, and the Penghuwei respectively.

As for the food problem, at that time, some of them will be transported from Fujian.

Anyway, as long as the 120,000 elite troops of the Tunwei were migrated, the ships of the three major fleets would be empty, and there should be no problem transporting 20,000 people of food.

Of course, it is not easy to transport so many people over. First of all, crossing the sea is a big problem.

Now only one hundred wolf-fang warships and two hundred wheel boats can be guaranteed to transport people back and forth across the sea, and no Dragon-fang warships can do it.

Because there is only one Dragon Teeth Battleship, and not only is it equipped with 400 navy soldiers and accompanying guards brought by Taichang, there is no more crowded.

Taichang couldn't let all of these people get off the boat and make room for transporting people.

As for the warships of the Beiyang Navy and the Nanyang Navy, the sailing ships that can transport a large number of people across the sea are basically those.

Problem, sailboats need to cross the sea by the wind!

If the wind direction is wrong, they will not be able to cross the nearly four hundred miles of strait.

This problem is really a headache. If you rely on one hundred wolf-toothed warships and two hundred wheel boats alone, even if you are full of people, you can transport up to 20,000 treasurys and strong guards in one trip.

What's more, one hundred wolf-toothed warships and two hundred wheel boats cannot be stuffed with people and transported across the sea.

Because the sea is not always calm, and the wolf-tooth warship and wheel boats can't sail as smoothly as a towering ship.

If the wolf-fanged warship and the wheel boat are filled with people across the sea, as long as you encounter a few people on the wind and waves, you will be so bumped into the sea like dumplings!

Therefore, when transporting the Tunwei across the sea, neither the wolf-tooth warship nor the wheel boats cannot be overloaded.

In other words, with just one hundred wolf-toothed warships and two hundred wheel boats, you can transport up to ten thousand treasurys across the sea at a time.

This efficiency is too low. If we count the time to gather the elite Tunwei soldiers on board and transport them to various places in the Dongban, it would be good to be able to travel back and forth in three days. The 120,000 elite Tunwei soldiers would have to be transported for more than a month!

This is definitely not possible. It takes time to build the acropolis later. Moreover, they have to transport a certain amount of supplies, otherwise they will not be able to exchange food and the acropolis will not be built.

So, what should I do?

In the Fujian Commander's Office and the newly built counselor hall, a group of civil servants and military generals frowned and stared at the charts on the table, pondering and silent.

Taichang waited for a long time but didn't say anything. He could only cough and reminded: "Everyone can say anything if you have any ideas. Don't worry about whether it's feasible. Let me put it forward first and we will discuss it together."

Well, the emperor is a little impatient to wait.

The Navy Governor Yuan Keli hurriedly bowed: "It seems that the Beiyang Navy and the Nanyang Navy must be used for sailing ships, because the transportation capacity of the Black-tailed ship, the Blessed ship, even the Bird Ship and Haicang ship is stronger than that of the Wolf-Tooth Warship.

It is definitely no problem for these sailboats to transport 30,000 Tunwei to be strong at one time, and they can also carry certain supplies.

In other words, as long as we use the sailing ships of the Beiyang Navy and the Nanyang Navy, plus the wolf-fanged warships and wheel boats, we can transport 40,000 strong Tunwei and corresponding materials across the sea in one go, and transport all 120,000 people and horses in three trips."

This idea is great, but the sailing boat can't move without wind!

Taichang thought for a while and simply said to Yu Zigao: "Kemai, you are the most familiar with this place. How many days will it take to wait for the west wind across the sea or the east wind on the return journey at this time?"

Uh, this is hard to say!

After hearing this, Yu Zigao thought about it carefully before saying carefully: "Master, it is difficult to wait for the strong winds that can cross the strait this time. It would be good to wait for more than ten days to wait for that time. However, the southwest wind or northwest wind in the west direction often blows. The same is true when returning. It will take at least more than ten days to wait for a strong east wind. Of course, if you are lucky, it may be there in a few days."

This is more than ten days, and there is more than ten days, and it takes nearly a month to go back and forth!

It’s better to use wolf-tooth warships and wheel boats to transport them.

When Taichang heard this, he couldn't help but look disappointed on his face.

At this time, Shen Yourong recalled thoughtfully: "Your Majesty, what you were about to wait for at the end of the Wanli Dynasty was not the strong west wind, but the northwest wind. Therefore, our fleet sailed on the sea for a day and then arrived near Penghu.

At that time, the generals were in a hurry to expel the Japanese pirates, so they launched a hasty attack. It is naturally not good to take risks like this when the war really begins.

However, it is feasible if it is just to transport elite Tunwei across the sea. We can use sailboats to transport people to Penghu first, and then transfer them to Dongban with small boats such as eight-clawed boats, centipede boats and other small boats!"

Small warships such as the Octopus ship and the Centipede ship are all rowed by manpower. There is no problem in combating nearshore areas, and there should be no problem in transporting elite troops between Penghu and Dongfan.

The question is, can these small boats row three or four hundred miles across the strait?

When Taichang heard this, he couldn't help but curiously said, "Can ships like the Octopus and the Centipede ship also row across the strait?"

Shen Yourong said without hesitation: "If it is empty, just a few rowing boats sit on it, it will definitely be fine. You can row it in one day. If you still carry people or supplies, it will be difficult to row. It is impossible to row three or four hundred miles a day across the strait."

It turned out that the empty boat was rowing over first!

If you can really pass it, it is naturally the best.

Taichang confirmed again: "Are you sure that small boats like the Octopus and Centipede Ship can really row three or four hundred miles a day?"

Chen Yourong nodded without hesitation and said, "Your Majesty, no problem. We Beiyang Navy and Nanyang Navy have all brought these small boats with us when we went to encircle and suppress pirates these days. If they were asked to row desperately and catch up with the speed of the wheels, they might be too tired to row for about half an hour. However, let them row slowly and keep up with the speed of the sailboat when the light breeze is still fine. The sailboat will drive about three hundred miles a day, which is exactly the distance from Zhangzhou Prefecture to Penghu."

That's fine.

Taichang asked Sun Chuanting again: "Boya, how many days will it take to assemble the elite troops of 120,000 treasury?"

Sun Chuanting estimated: "If it is to gather the coastal trunk guards, the 120,000 elite troops in the trunk guards will probably have to gather at least one month. If you even count the Dushiwei Station within a 100-mile range near the coast, the speed of gathering is still relatively fast. It only takes three or four days to gather 40,000 elite troops in the trunk guards near Quanzhou Prefecture. The rest may need to be transferred to Zhejiang and Guangdong. However, if waterways advance together, the remaining 80,000 elite troops in the trunk guards should be almost assembled in half a month."
