The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

Chapter 879: India is too far from God and too close to the Chinese

Compared with the Chinese who have joys and worries, the joy is greater than the worry, the Hong Maofan on the way back is generally depressed and unhappy!

Once upon a time, they were ambitious and came across the three oceans with the intention of conquering the wealthy kingdom of the East, where honey and milk flowed.

However, even if they tried their best, they failed to annihilate the Chinese fleet, this fleet is still half of their troops!

Although they fired a few shots at their "national capital", they didn't hurt their confidants at all, just scratched them.

Nothing!

There is no record. The record of the Chinese is ten times that of the Hong Maofan, and even the admiral has been taken prisoner by the Chinese!

Loss of warships, loss of soldiers and generals.

Wealth has not been captured, and even the land of the Chinese has not set foot on it!

Hong Maofan is really complaining, and the wounded soldiers in the cabin are moaning one after another, and those who are almost nervous can't wait to go crazy!

"Ampwert" is a battleship with 52 artillery, the largest artillery is 18 pounds, has a double deck of guns, barely considered a battleship.

Its firepower is not good, but the speed is quite fast, the body is streamlined, and there is no tall fore and stern tower.

The Dutch admiral Tromp has regarded this ship as a flagship. His original flagship "Maas River" was seriously damaged, broken in many places, and the fore mast was interrupted, making it unsustainable.

The "Mr. Three Hours" he encountered was not withered. Because he knew that he would only fight for a while, the officers and soldiers of the Southeast Fleet fired hard, and the DPS output was high. The damage to the ships of the Hong Maofan was not small!

As the flagship, the Maas River bears the brunt. If it weren't for the **** of other warships, it would have been sunk.

It is no longer suitable as a flagship, so the "Ampvet" has become the new flagship.

In the narrow cabin, Tromp is concentrating on making tea, a full set of Chinese tea sets, of course the tea is Chinese.

The tea is fragrant and the fresh water on the boat is precious, but the admiral's tea is indispensable.

The accompanying guest was Carl Venerell, the high commissioner of the Dutch East India Company. This Mr. Carl deserves to be a businessman, who seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages, and is unscathed in the battle.

The two were drinking tea. Seeing Tromp’s relaxed look, Mr. Carl couldn’t help asking: "Mr. Tromp, do you have any plans?"

"Plan?" Tromp sat with his arms and legs spread out and said indifferently: "My first plan is to return to India safely."

India's name comes from the Chinese, and Hong Maofan is also called this way.

"Yes, return to India safely!" Mr. Carl agreed.

"My second plan, you may not be happy!" Tromp said: "I am going back to Europe!"

"What!" Mr. Carl was surprised, standing up and pointing to Tromp.

"Look, you are really excited, so I was right to ask you to drink tea first, this is green tea, it can reduce fire!" Tromp actually knows the purpose of tea very well, obviously an old tea customer.

"My friend, please sit down!" Tromp said.

Mr. Carl sat down and murmured: "Why!"

In order to seize the interests of the East, the Dutch East India Company paid a heavy price to the Dutch authorities who agreed to send troops, half of the profits in ten years!

And Tromp will also be rewarded generously. Before he came, he received 30,000 guilders as a settlement allowance. Once he wins, he will have an annuity of 100,000 guilders each year for five consecutive years. At that time, 220 guilders was one. The annual income of an ordinary Dutch teacher!

It can be said that after a vote, Tromp can retire!

But Tromp said to leave, see his attitude is very determined.

According to Mr. Carl, although the army has been defeated in this battle, the main force is still there. The Spaniards have suffered the most. This is good, why not fight it? !

Tromp's face condensed and analyzed: "I didn't have much contact with Oriental Chinese before. I have met some Chinese in Europe. They are self-disciplined and confident, have good spirits, and are physically strong!

That's right!

After the Yan family descended, the Chinese triumphed steadily under his leadership, achieved great military and economic achievements, and received generous returns. Both mentally and physically, they firmly occupy the first place on the water blue planet!

Eat more meat, eat more meat!

There is meat to eat naturally and strong, and meat is good for gods, and it is better than Hong Maofan in both aspects!

"Fighting against them, their bravery and tenacity, training level, and obedience to orders are amazing!" Tromp exclaimed, and then said: "Such opponents, we are in India, too far away from God. Too close to the Chinese!"

Mr. Carl is not stupid either, he understood in one sentence that after a battle in Tromp, he was not optimistic about the war with the Dutch and the Chinese!

To be honest, the Chinese fleet had a great impact on Tromp. If the entire Red Hairpin fleet were Dutch, perhaps he would still have confidence, but with the combined fleet of all countries, Tromp understood that he had no chance.

The Chinese are united, and their logistics makes Tromp terrified!

It was almost as invincible as Antaeus. The Chinese were crippled that day and attacked again the next day. The Hong Maofan united fleet is alone in Southeast Asia, just like Cheng Yaojin’s three-handed axe. Got to kneel!

As for relying on Indian resources to deal with the Chinese fleet?

Mr. Carl couldn't help but smile. Once Tromp left, most of the Dutch must also follow. Without a large fleet, how to deal with the Chinese!

"Don't worry!" Tromp comforted him: "India can't keep it, you can run Africa. I believe India has busy Chinese people, where the Mughal empire is weak but still powerful. If they continue to move westward, they will Encountering Turks will stop the Chinese from entering!"

"But what about the Chinese advancing to Africa?" Mr. Carl retorted him: "The Chinese fleet is so strong, they will definitely continue to advance, and they will occupy Africa!"

"That will be their business for several generations!" Tromp said without any serious consideration: "From the East to the West~www.wuxiaspot.com~ If they manage all the way, when they reach Europe, we don’t know. Can you see it!" (See you for a long time)

"If they advance rapidly, then their situation will be like ours now, and we can make them come and go!" Tromp said optimistically.

"Mr. Carl, the war is over!" Tromp announced: "The Chinese pose no threat to our Europe at all. Don't worry!"

Mr. Carl reluctantly replied: "I hope so!"

Seeing his low mood, Tromp said: "Withdraw from India and invest resources in Africa on the west coast, where there is a natural barrier called the Cape of Good Hope. I think the power of the Chinese will end here!"

"Good!" Mr. Carl nodded.

"Woo..." There were bursts of horns from outside the ship, and Tromp stood up and ran out of the cabin.

After three days of escaping, the Hong Maofan fleet was overtaken by the Chinese fleet!
