The Chinese characters on the seal were all written by Kuai Yi, the temporary governor-general of the Dutch East India Company.
The meaning is actually very clear. Look, we Dutch have delivered everything here to them intact, so stop chasing us!
If, on the other hand, the Dutch wreak havoc and kill Ming people before leaving, it is very likely to attract hatred and make the Ming navy pursue the Dutch fleet!
If the Dutch would evacuate early, then it is unlikely that the Ming Navy would be able to catch up even if they wanted to.
However, the Dutch are reluctant to give up their interests in Nanyang. If they rely on this place, they can extract as many benefits as they can from here!
Unless the Ming Navy comes to attack them, they will run away!
Now, the news of the large-scale dispatch of the Ming Navy has been detected on the island ahead, which made Kui Yi know that it was time to leave.
Therefore, he carried out the evacuation plan he had ordered in advance.
The rapid ringing of the bell at the church is a signal, indicating that the Ming Navy is coming, so run away!
Sure enough, less than an hour after the Dutch in Lion City evacuated, the forwards of the Ming Navy had already appeared in the sight of the people in Lion City.
Previously, after the Dutch evacuated, some of the indigenous people who came back to their senses hurried back to their own country, obviously to bring back this shocking news; while some indigenous people, relying on the larger number of people,
Those started to grab things.
However, these natives who robbed things still did not have the courage to rob the places that the Dutch had sealed, because they were afraid that the Dutch would suddenly return! For the Dutch, they have been taught many lessons, and that fear is engraved in their bones.
of.
However, after the Dutch fleet disappeared from the horizon and could no longer be seen, and after waiting for a while, some people could not resist the temptation and began to rob the sealed places.
For example, in the arsenal, the things in it are what they want most.
However, when they wanted to rob these places, groups of Ming people appeared in an organized manner. Although they did not have firearms, they were all armed with cold weapons, most of which were spears and many kitchen knives. They immediately protected them.
important facilities such as arsenals.
Needless to say, the Ming people here in Lion City are definitely members of the imperial court. They know that the imperial court will take over this place sooner or later. Their purpose of lurking here is to get the news and send it out.
Now that I saw the Dutch running away like this, I naturally stepped forward and organized the people here to come out to protect important facilities.
"The imperial army will arrive soon. Whoever dares to destroy things here will kill his whole family!"
"If you don't believe it, just give it a try. Anyone who dares to be an enemy of our Ming Dynasty will have your tribe destroyed. Do you believe it?"
"If anyone comes closer, I will risk my life!"
"..."
The Ming people here all knew how to speak native language. They shouted loudly and severely scolded these natives who were ready to make a move.
The reason why they spoke so harshly is because they have been here for a long time and know the natives here well. It is useless to try to persuade them with nice words. These natives will be beaten!
Be afraid of whoever is strong!
In fact, even those Dutch people are not like this!
If the Ming army had not captured Luzon and retaliated against the Spaniards and local indigenous people who massacred the Ming people, I guess the Dutch would not have been so easy to talk to, and maybe many Ming people would have died at the hands of the Dutch.
However, after the example from Luzon, the Dutch did not dare!
The order in the Lion City is definitely in chaos. However, this chaos is due to the fact that the Ming people united in time to deal with the chaos, and the indigenous people have the virtue of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, so they are all busy grabbing other people's things, and there are very few indigenous people.
If you don't have a good eye, go and collide with Akito who is waiting for you.
However, all these chaos in the Lion City ended when the Ming Navy's forward appeared on the sea.
The warships of the Ming Dynasty were all large ships with five hundred materials, and there were also steam-armored warships mixed in, which added to the breathtaking majesty!
On the decks of each warship, rows of Ming army officers and soldiers were lined up. Their uniform red military uniforms were particularly eye-catching.
As the sea breeze blew, the banners on the warships buzzed! It seemed to be announcing that the master here was coming.
On the outskirts of the Lion City, at some point, three piles of smoke shot up into the sky. Others could not understand it, but the navy officers knew what the signal was!
Therefore, these Ming Navy warships sailed directly into the port.
On the pier, more and more Ming people came to welcome us, holding various flags and waving them.
The natives, after being shocked, all instinctively stepped aside and hid in the corner, watching the arrival of the huge Ming Navy.
The indigenous boats in the port also consciously sailed away and stayed far away.
Everyone knows the fact that the Lion City is about to change, or simply put, the Malacca Strait is about to change!
Among the vanguard of the Ming Navy, there were also five sailing warships from the West, and the flags they hung were the Portuguese flags.
After all, the Portuguese had ruled the Straits of Malacca for more than a hundred years, and it was only ten years ago that they were driven away by the local indigenous people and the Dutch.
This time, the Ming army wanted to capture the Strait of Malacca, and not only had to use troops against the Dutch, but also against the local indigenous people. These Portuguese were the best guides, so they were recruited to fight with the army.
At this time, the Portuguese governor in Haojingao, Du Quan, looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but feel very emotional.
This Lion City was once occupied by the Portuguese, but it was taken away and occupied by the Dutch. So much so that when the Portuguese wanted to pass through the Strait of Malacca, they had to pay taxes to the Dutch before they could cross!
It can be said that the Dutch spent a lot of effort and money to occupy the Strait of Malacca. However, how long did they stay here before they gave up on their own initiative?
According to what Daming said, he just ran away after hearing the news, right?
It is really unimaginable that those rebellious Dutch people, who can even be said to deny their relatives, would be so afraid of the Ming Dynasty!
Thinking of this, Du Chu thought about it carefully, and suddenly understood: The reason why the Dutch dared to rob Portugal and other countries' colonies was because they thought they could win!
However, when the Dutch faced the Ming Dynasty, there was the Battle of Dongfan before, and they defeated their impregnable city of Relanja in two days; then, the Dutch went with the Ming Navy to see how to deal with the affairs of the Japanese country.
.
At least around the Ming Empire, there is an ironclad fact that no country, including the Netherlands, can be an enemy of the Ming Empire!
Thinking of this, Du Chu thought of the huge territory of the Ming Dynasty, a population larger than that of the whole of Europe combined, and countless material wealth, etc. He couldn't help but feel a little dumbfounded. Such a powerful empire, if it weren't for its own internal chaos,
If so, what country can defeat them!
At least around the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible for any country to defeat them from the outside!
While he was thinking about it, the Ming Navy warship docked at the port. Among the Ming people here, several people immediately came up to greet them. After talking with the Ming army officers who got off the ship, they saw
A large number of Ming army soldiers got off the ship and began to take over the Lion City.
Seeing the Ming army officers and soldiers, all in uniform uniforms, with shining bayonets on their flintlock guns, marching in neatly one after another, the natives did not dare to show their heads.
At this time, they all understood that the Dutch people before knew that the Ming army was coming, so they fled in a hurry!
When the navy's forwards had basically taken full control of the Lion City, the main force of the navy arrived.
On the sea, more Ming warships arrived at the Lion City like an overwhelming force.
Seeing this scene, the natives were even more shocked.
There are actually hundreds of ships in the indigenous countries here. However, their hundreds of ships are made up of large and small ships. They are not like the Ming Dynasty Navy, where large ships are counted in units of hundreds.
.
Also, the Ming Navy must have deliberately demonstrated that when they docked at the port, they opened the baffles and exposed the muzzles of the guns.
Groups of naval officers also stood on the deck holding flintlock guns.
This kind of military prowess was something that even the Dutch colonists, the former owners of this place, could not achieve.
There are actually two types of Dutch warships. One is a warship, which is a real warship, but the other is actually an armed merchant ship. And most of the Dutch warships are just armed merchant ships.
At its peak, the Dutch East India Company only had forty real warships and one hundred and fifty armed merchant ships!
And these ships were to be distributed in various Dutch colonies.
However, in terms of the number of warships, the Ming Dynasty's navy has already exceeded the number of warships that the natives of Southeast Asia thought the Netherlands had at the time. And the quality, that is, the equipment, is not much worse.
!
The navy of the Ming Dynasty can definitely affect the rise and fall of any indigenous country in Nanyang!
Anyone can see this after seeing the size and military appearance of the Ming Dynasty's navy.
After the main force of the Ming Navy arrived, a notice was quickly posted, listing the purpose of the Ming Navy's arrival in Lion City, and announcing which countries were enemies of the Ming Dynasty and were to be conquered.
Of course, the notice also said that if you surrender voluntarily, you will be given a lighter sentence, otherwise once the army attacks, it will be like thunder!
Carrying this news, indigenous people from all over the world returned to their own tribes and countries to spread the news back.
This new change can be said to be a shocking change for the countries in Southeast Asia!
Suddenly, the royal families, civil servants and generals of various kingdoms all held emergency meetings to discuss how to deal with this latest situation.
