PS: I thought it would be free, but the price of the last chapter is only half the price. If I come again tomorrow, it will be a free chapter.

It's a pity that the cavalry didn't come this time, otherwise none of these Japanese pirates would want to run. Lu Fei walked up to the heights covered in blood. These Japanese pirates want to compete with the end generals in their martial arts. It's just looking for death.

Having said that, Lu Fei threw the three samurai swords on the ground, and he continued: Your Highness, these Japanese pirate samurai swords are really good, if the previous weapons really can't stand the slashing of these samurai swords.

In history, the quality of Japanese pirates' samurai swords was really good, but Xiao Ming can't look down on these things now. The silver, gold and sulfur of the Japanese country are what he wants.

Now that the war is still going on, Lu Fei is here to ask Xiao Ming for the next order.

Luo Xin, you are now cooperating with Lu Fei to immediately win the contract of Mikila. Another 4,000 people are dispatched to support Claire. Their situation seems to be not good. Xiao Ming said.

From where he was standing, Xiao Ming could also see that Claire was commanding the army to fight against the reinforcements of the Japanese pirates. In the face of the absolute number of Japanese pirates, the Dutch still suffered no loss.

Yes, Your Highness! Lu Fei and Luo Xin responded at the same time.

Then Luo Xin immediately commanded the soldiers to use the horses to pull the field guns to the direction of Mikila Castle, while Lu Fei gathered 4,000 people to go in the direction of Claire, and he took the remaining soldiers to the direction of Mikila Castle. .

After receiving the support of the Qingzhou Army, the Japanese reinforcements in the direction of Claire were quickly defeated, and while taking advantage of the chaos, Luo Xin and Lu Fei also successfully captured Mikila Castle.

After the victory, the Dutch army and Xiao Ming continued to send soldiers to eliminate the remaining Japanese pirates, and most of the soldiers were stationed in Mikila Castle.

The war lasted from noon to evening. When night fell, Lu Fei handed over the data of the battle to Xiao Ming.

His Royal Highness, this time we eliminated 6,000 Japanese pirates. In addition, we captured more than 1,000 Japanese pirates. All the remaining Japanese pirates escaped. We did not find the bodies of Sakai and Makino Chunming. Lu Fei said.

It's a pity that the villain Sakai escaped again. Rhode said bitterly.

Claire was still distressed by the loss of more than 700 soldiers. After this Japanese rebellion, their strength in Ryukyu was further weakened.

And through this battle, he also learned about the strength of the Qi King's army, which is not a weak brigade.

In his opinion, the army was very close to their European musketeers.

Sakai is no longer important. Now that we have recaptured Mikila Castle, Japanese pirates have no place on the island. Claire said.

Xiao Ming nodded, this time the Japanese pirates were defeated and basically lost their combat effectiveness, and could not fight against him who occupied Mikila Castle. Now it means that he officially controlled the Ryukyu Island and also controlled the sea route.

Because during this period, the merchant ships going south had to pass through the strait west of Ryukyu, and now he can directly cut off the southward trade between Goryeo and Japanese pirates, of course, the kings of Chu and Wei are no exception.

Count Claire, this battle is enough to prove the king's loyalty to the contract. I hope you can also faithfully fulfill the content of the contract. From now on, you must stop all trade with Japanese pirates.

In Xiao Ming's opinion, this battle is the best deterrent to Claire. If he is not too stupid, he should understand what to do next.

With a sigh in his heart, Claire understands that he has no choice now. The Netherlands is thousands of miles away, and it is impossible for him to send tens of thousands of troops from China to East Asia. In fact, with the decline of national strength, it is already very difficult to maintain the existing colonies. Not to mention the British are eyeing their colonies.

As you wish, Your Highness, from now on, the contract will come into effect, and I will fulfill the contents of the contract. From now on, the Ryukyu Island and Mikila Fortress will be officially handed over to His Highness. At the same time, I hope His Highness will send 2,000 people to the city of Geranja. The permanent army. Claire felt a burst of shame, this is a nation bowing its head to another nation.

But the current trend of thought in Europe believes that white supremacy, and the rest are inferiors, because there has never been a case of Europeans losing to people of color and being forced to sign a bullying agreement on the road of colonization for a hundred years.

Therefore, Claire is extremely unwilling now. Although he chose to give in for the sake of the company, like the mainstream trend of thought in Europe, he despises people of color from the bottom of his heart.

In his view, these people of color were only worthy of being their slaves and servants.

Xiao Ming noticed the fleeting arrogance in Claire's eyes, and he also understood that Claire was unwilling now, because the Dutch soldier's emotions were more direct and clear than Claire's forbearance.

But he enjoys this feeling, because he is trying to prove that they lost on technology, not skin color, and in the future he will make more Europeans understand this truth and let them put away their arrogance.

In a moment of silence, Claire and Rhodes left Mikila Castle with the Dutch soldiers.

Watching the Dutchman leave, Xiao Ming's mouth filled with a smile. He had to admit that in the contemporary era of seafaring, it was the stage of Europe, but he would not miss this gluttonous feast here.

Your Highness, these red-haired ghosts don't look very happy. Lu Fei scratched his head and said.

Luo Xin curled his lips, Of course they are not happy. Now it means that the city of Relanzha and Ryukyu Island are under our control, and they can only be reduced to our vassals.

Xiao Ming nodded when he heard the words, Luo Xin is right, we and the Dutch are just using each other, and we can't fully trust each other. After all, they are Europeans, and they are very wary of people outside Europe.

Lu Fei and Luo Xin nodded when they heard the words.

After a pause, Xiao Ming continued: Are the wounded soldiers properly placed?

That's right, they are being treated by the Dutch medical officer in the castle, Lu Fei said.

Compared with the heavy losses of the Japanese state, the Qingzhou army performed excellently this time. After all, the advantage of the range of the flintlock guns was still reflected in this battle. Relatively speaking, the losses of Qingzhou were not large.

Your Highness, what about these captured Japanese pirates? Lu Fei asked again.

Xiao Ming walked to a table, on the table was a map with the details of Ryukyu Island, he said: Just stay on the island as a slave and use it as a coolie, there are so many sugarcane on the island that there is a shortage of manpower. ferry.

Sugar cane? Luo Xin's saliva remained, and he said, Is sugar cane grown on Ryukyu Island? This kind of thing is very sweet.

Lu Fei had never eaten anything like sugar cane, and he was confused at this time.

During the years when the Netherlands occupied Ryukyu, they mainly planted sugar cane and rice on the island. Now is the time for a bumper harvest of sugar cane. The most important thing is that the Dutch have also established white sugar workshops on the island.
