707 Strange

He saw clearly that it was a Dutch sailing warship coming towards Naha.

The sailing warships of Xiyi are the most powerful on the sea. Can one of them be ten ships lower? If there are fifteen sailing warships, it is equivalent to one hundred and fifty warships, no matter it is better than the Japanese ones.

The number of warships, or the number of warships of the Ming Dynasty, is still greater.

The most critical reason why Yagyu Munenomi burst out laughing was that the Tokugawa shogunate implemented a policy of seclusion and drove away other Western barbarians, but left the Dutch behind.

The relationship between the Japanese country and the Netherlands is not bad! Not to mention, the Netherlands is allied with the Qing Empire, which is also an alliance with the Japanese country. These fifteen new sailing warships are friendly forces!

At this time, reinforcements that were enough to defeat the Ming Dynasty navy suddenly arrived, which made Yagyu Munenomi, who originally thought that the situation was over, very happy.

Even when he was laughing, he was thinking a lot. For example, after the Dutch sailing warships arrived, they not only cut off the logistical supplies of the Ming Dynasty's expeditionary force to attack the Japanese mainland, but also harassed and even dragged the Ming Dynasty to death.

Expeditionary Force.

The crisis in Japan is about to be resolved!

Haha, when we look back, the Ming Dynasty must pay the price for this!

How dare you attack the Japanese mainland? Just wait and see!

On the other side, Hu Mingfeng was also shocked.

Among the Western barbarians, Portugal was the only one that always listened to the Ming Dynasty. It first sent warships to attack Luzon, and then sent more warships. After the expeditionary force conquered the Ryukyu Kingdom, they went to attack the Japanese mainland.

As for the Dutch, they were enemies of the Ming Dynasty. They captured the Dutch city of Jelandja from the east, which only deepened their hatred.

Previously, the commander-in-chief had considered that the Japanese navy might attack Ryukyu, so he asked him to guard here, thinking that with his current strength, it would be enough to deal with the Japanese navy.

However, the commander-in-chief did not expect that the Dutch navy would come from such a far away place in Ryukyu. The most important thing is that there were as many as fifteen ships!

At this moment, Hu Mingfeng immediately became nervous. He quickly ordered his warships to assemble and stop pursuing the Japanese naval warships that had fled in all directions. They all returned to Naha Port and relied on shore defenses for defense.

As for his flagship, one of the wheels on one side was entangled in debris and had not yet been repaired. He had to rely on the strength of the sail and return to Naha Port first.

After hearing his command, Yagyu Munenomi immediately smiled proudly and said in Ming Dynasty Mandarin: "Don't go to all this trouble. At your speed, you won't be able to return to the port in time, so just surrender!"

This is not a threat. He can still judge the speed of the armored warships here and the speed of the Dutch sailing warships.

Originally, Hu Mingfeng was busy giving instructions. The Japanese prisoner laughed loudly before. He didn't even have time to pay attention to him. Then he said this again. Hu Mingfeng turned to stare at Yagyu Munomi and shouted in a cold voice: "Lift him to the bow and let him go."

Let him see if we are vegetarians!"

"Yes!" His men immediately responded loudly, and then escorted Yagyu Munenomi to the bow of the ship.

"Haha!" Yagyu Munenomi immediately sneered and turned around as he walked, staring at Hu Mingfeng and said, "You damn duck has a tough mouth, I'll just watch how you are destroyed by the sailing warship!"

The Ming army officer who escorted him saw that he dared to be so harsh, so he pushed hard, almost knocking him to his knees. Thanks to his strong basic skills, he didn't make a fool of himself.

Hu Mingfeng ignored the Japanese prisoner. He looked up and saw that there were about fifty Japanese warships that had fled in all directions and were approaching the Dutch fleet.

Obviously, they are going to join together and attack Naha Port together, right?

Although Hu Mingfeng looked down upon the little combat power of the Japanese warships, with the Dutch sailing warships as the main force, the combined fleet of the two countries was still a headache.

But what if I have a headache, just hit me! I’m afraid of them!

When the other warships of the Ming Army saw that the flagship was returning very slowly and that the smoke in the chimney was no longer coming out, they knew that something had probably gone wrong, causing the steam engine to lose power.

Of course they could see that the flagship might not be able to return to the port in time. So, the warships began to turn around, trying to get closer to the flagship.

When Hu Mingfeng saw it, he immediately shouted: "What do you care about me? If you give me another order, return to the port immediately. The military supplies stored in Naha Port must not be lost! Even if I die, I will keep the port safe!"

He was afraid that his men would not listen, so he personally called for the flag and sent the signal to his men.

Soon, although his warships stopped and did not continue to approach, they also sent a signal to the flagship.

Hu Mingfeng looked at the waving of the signal flags, smiled on his face, and then said loudly: "I have killed enough people. I died on the battlefield and my body was just wrapped in horse leather. What are you afraid of? I have my share in the Zhonglie Hall. Just go and see it when you have time.

Got it!"

As he spoke, he waved the signal flag again.

No one among the soldiers on the side tried to persuade him. They all stood there and no one said a word.

Yagyu Munenomi, who had been tied to the bow of the boat, turned around and saw this scene. He originally wanted to laugh, but suddenly he fell silent.

This wise general actually valued the military supplies stored in the port more important than his own life. It was really rare, at least he had never seen anything like this.

If there were many generals like this in the Ming Dynasty's expeditionary army, this battle would probably be difficult to fight!

While he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a loud noise coming from a distance.

"Boom boom boom..."

Hearing the sound, Yagyu Munomi quickly raised his head and looked up. At this glance, he was immediately dumbfounded!

I saw that the Japanese warship had already arrived at the Dutch sailing warship, but what the hell was the Dutch sailing warship doing? It bombarded the Japanese warship???

Under the bombardment at such a close range, although the smoke was thick and the sight was not very clear, from what could be seen, most of the Japanese warships that passed by were damaged by the bombardment!

If the artillery misfired, it was at most one artillery misfiring. It is absolutely impossible for so many artillery pieces to misfire at the same time!

Are they so blind that they can't even tell the difference between friendly and unfriendly forces?

Isn’t this enough?

No matter how blind you are, it’s impossible for everyone to be blind!

What exactly is going on?

For a moment, Yagyu Munomi was stunned, motionless!

In addition to him, Hu Mingfeng and other Ming army soldiers were also dumbfounded.

Watching the Dutch sailing warships bombarding them in the distance, and the Japanese naval warships being torn apart, it felt so unrealistic.

What happened?

I was confused, everyone was confused, including Akito and the Ryukyu people at the port!

"Boom boom boom..."

Amidst the continuous bombardment, the onlookers finally came to their senses one after another.

The scene before us can only explain one situation: that is, the Dutch are not standing with the Japanese country, but are hostile to the Japanese country, and there is a high possibility that they are standing with the Ming Dynasty!

Thinking of this, Yagyu Munenomi seemed to be older all of a sudden. He hung on the bow of the ship and murmured to himself: "How is it possible, how is it possible..."

Obviously, he couldn't accept this fact! In other words, he couldn't figure out why this happened?

Hu Mingfeng, on the other hand, guessed a little bit. After all, when they captured the city of Relanja, they captured all the Dutch. In addition to escorting all their officers to Beijing, the other ordinary Dutch were

Let go.

After that, the Luzon Expeditionary Force established its power in Luzon and killed all the Spaniards and local natives who dared to go against the Ming Dynasty. This would definitely frighten the Dutch in Southeast Asia.

Then, there may have been some changes that made the Dutch finally defect to the Ming Dynasty. This seems to be a reasonable explanation.

While he was thinking about this, the sound of shelling in the distance had stopped.

When the smoke cleared, only a dozen or so Japanese warships were seen, but they had all lowered their sails and surrendered.

Also, on this sea, it is impossible for Japanese warships to escape the pursuit of sailing warships. If they can't be beaten again and again, what else can they do except surrender?

Then, a sailing warship was seen leaving the fleet and coming towards the armored warship where Hu Mingfeng was.

Everyone's eyes were attracted by this sailing warship. They wondered what the Dutch wanted to do next.

It can be seen that the gun muzzles of this sailing warship have been re-covered, and there is no intention to continue firing.

After getting closer, a few more sails were lowered, and the meaning became clearer. There was no intention of fighting. Don't get me wrong!

Hu Mingfeng immediately picked up his telescope and observed the warship coming towards him. After looking at it for a while, he suddenly put down the telescope and said with a smile: "It's okay, it belongs to our Ming Dynasty."

Hearing his words, the guard beside him asked curiously: "Sir, why are you so sure?"

Hu Mingfeng pointed with his hand and said: "There is a guard in Jinyi on that ship, what do you think? Haha!"

As soon as I heard that there was a Royal Guard in Royal Guards on the Dutch warship, it must be that the Ming Dynasty did not escape!

The officers and soldiers of the Ming Army became relaxed one by one. At the same time, they were still a little curious and wanted to know what was going on with this Dutchman?

Subdued by being beaten?

When Yagyu Munenomi heard their conversation, although he felt a little desperate at this time, he was actually a little curious as to why the Dutch defected to the Ming Dynasty.

After a while, it got so close that everyone could clearly see with the naked eye that there was a group of royal guards standing on the bow of the sailing warship.

"Tsk, tsk, look at it, the Feiyu suit looks really good!" Hu Mingfeng saw it and immediately praised with a smile.

He is a big man, and he has never said this before. But at this moment, he unconsciously praised the clothes for looking good. He didn't realize this.

The ship slowed down, and finally the two ships slowly approached. They saw that the captain of the Imperial Guard was in front, and the Dutchman was behind. Their status was clear at a glance.
