Iron Dynasty

Tongzhou Wharf, looking at the battleship King Wei slowly leaving, looked complicated.

Uncle Three Emperors, Xiao Ming is really making us more and more incomprehensible. Xiao Qi appeared behind King Wei.

He came to Tongzhou with King Wei, but instead of meeting Xiao Ming, he secretly observed Xiao Ming's fleet.

What do you think Xiao Ming is leading such a large fleet for? said King Wei puzzled.

Xiao Qi pondered for a while and said: I sent someone to observe, this time Xiao Ming's fleet was carrying more than 10,000 soldiers, and all of these soldiers were carrying the muskets that Xiao Ming said. Such a large-scale army must go to sea. In order to conquer the Great Yu Kingdom, he naturally did not dare to do it, so he has only one destination, and that is Ryukyu.

Ryukyu, you mean Xiao Ming is going to fight the Dutch. King Wei said in shock.

There is a possibility, not to mention the powerful fleet comparable to the Dutch, plus 10,000 musketeers, only the Dutch are worthy of his opponent. Xiao Qi said confidently.

Wei Wang was overjoyed, Hey, this is great. If Xiao Ming and Wei Wang fight, we can take advantage of the fishermen. Maybe this maritime trade can be reopened.

Uncle Three Emperors is too early to be happy. If Xiao Ming defeated the Dutch, Xiao Ming will have the final say in this sea. Will he let us engage in maritime trade so easily?

King Wei pondered for a while and said, It's better than being in the hands of the Dutch. Xiao Ming is at least a relative of the royal family, and at least he can talk about it in the courtroom, and now he has established a supply point in Tongzhou, which also depends on this king. , all in all, he's better than the Dutch.

Xiao Qi nodded, comforting in his heart, the current King Wei seems to have the idea of ​​rebellion buried deep in his heart, after all, when Xiao Ming was here, he always had some scruples.

While speaking, the figure of the Qingzhou battleship disappeared on the horizon.

On the deck of the King Qi, Xiao Ming was reclining on an old man's chair, enjoying the sun and the sea breeze.

At the Tongzhou Wharf, they replenished a large amount of fresh water, vegetables, grain, daily necessities and other materials. For him, this meeting with King Wei was basically a success.

As for the next supply point, Ningzhou, he is also full of confidence. After all, he is now doing business with the King of Chu, and the King of Chu does not dare not surrender.

As he had guessed, they arrived in Ningzhou two days later, and they were successfully supplied with supplies in Ningzhou. The King of Chu ordered the local officials to cooperate with Xiao Ming's fleet to supply supplies, and would continue to provide them with supplies in the future.

After Ningzhou, the fleet continued south, and they arrived at the city of Relanzha after a full seven days.

Your Highness, Relan Zhacheng is in front. Rhode said excitedly.

Xiao Ming nodded. In the golden sunlight, the city of Relan was as dazzling as a pearl on the sea. Through the telescope, he saw a typical European-style building with red tiles and white walls, like a fairyland.

When Rhodes was excited, Xiao Ming's telescope appeared in the Dutch battleship, Xiao Ming said: Don't be happy for now, you should explain to your fleet that we are not the enemy.

It was only then that Rhodes reacted, and he immediately picked up the flag and signaled the semaphore to the Dutch fleet. After a while, the semaphore came from the Dutch battleship, and Rhodes said at this time, Your Highness, now your fleet can safely dock at the port.

Xiao Ming observed the situation in the port. He called Yue Yun and said, Enter the port, but stay alert.

Yue Yun understood, and immediately let the semaphore hand play the semaphore, while he led the King Qi slowly into the pier.

At this time, Lu Fei and Luo Xin also came over. They made the soldiers blow the assembly number, and the Qingzhou Army soldiers immediately walked onto the deck from the cabin and lined up neatly.

While driving cautiously, the fleet stopped safely at the port. When all the more than 10,000 Qingzhou soldiers disembarked, Xiao Ming breathed a sigh of relief this time. It seemed that the Dutch had really encountered a crisis this time.

Hello, Your Royal Highness King Qi. Claire appeared on the dock for the first time. He used the poor Yu language for the first sentence, and then communicated with him in Dutch, which Rhodes translated.

Thank you for coming, His Royal Highness King Qi. Your presence proves that you are a qualified ally. Maybe from today, we can establish a firm friendship. Claire was very excited.

These soldiers from Qingzhou are well-equipped, and they are not inferior to Japanese pirates in number, which makes him very confident in this war.

No need to say thank you, as the count said, we are allies on the sea, and there will be more opportunities for cooperation in the future. Xiao Ming said with a smile.

Claire became more and more happy. He pointed to the city of Relanza and said, Your Highness, this is the city of Relanza. I will show you around here. You will spend a beautiful night here tonight.

Lu Fei and Luo Xin looked at the small island surrounded by the sea with surprise in their eyes, but they were quickly attracted by the Dutch soldiers.

Luoxin, did you see that this soldier's uniform looks very good, especially the leather boots he wears. When can we wear leather shoes, I always feel that wearing this uniform does not match the cloth shoes. Lu Fei said .

Luo Xin's attention has long been attracted by the artillery on the city of Relan. When he saw that there were two field guns at the gate of the city, his eyes were even more straight, and he said: It doesn't matter if you have leather boots or cloth shoes. The equipment of this Dutchman is not bad, it looks on par with our Qingzhou Army, but I don't know how these weapons work?

It's not easy. This time we are helping them. It's alright to use their weapons. When the time comes, I shouldn't ask your Highness. Lu Fei said.

When the two were talking, Xiao Ming and Claire had already entered the city, and they immediately followed.

At the same time, the Qingzhou army also entered all over the city of Relanza, and the small city of Relanza suddenly became crowded.

When they arrived at the Chief's Office, Claire took Xiao Ming to the window. The opposite was the Mikila Fortress, which was the tallest building in the city of Geranja. You could easily see the Mikila Castle.

Your Highness, Japanese pirates have been reinforcing the bastion during this time. There are about 10,000 pirates in the city. I believe that these pirates were instructed by Yamada Nobunaga to occupy the main island of Ryukyu. After all, this place is far away. The Japanese country is very close, and once they win this place, they will control the route. Claire looked solemn.

Xiao Ming raised his binoculars and looked at it. The Japanese pirates' expansion and aggression plan was no longer a secret. Xiao Ming was very interested in any action that caused trouble for the Japanese country. He asked, What attack plan do you have?
