Liu Mingyu has actually been thinking about one issue, that is, his layout for Europa.

The 16th and 17th centuries were the golden age of the Spanish Empire, and its vast territory made it often known as the "Empire of the Sun Not Setting".

This huge empire also began to experience a financial crisis like the Ming Empire. Although now, New Spain can still bring huge amounts of silver and gold to the Spanish Empire. The Habsburgs squandered the wealth obtained from Castile and American colonies, and for its interests, they started wars in Europe. They defaulted on loans several times and were on the verge of bankruptcy.

The situation in the Ming Empire was similar, because of the inflow of a large amount of silver, prices began to rise wildly. It was precisely because of inflation and natural disasters that the Ming Dynasty's fiscal bankruptcy.

The problems faced by Spain are different from those of the Ming Dynasty. The difference is that the Habsburgs in Spain are rich but do not have corresponding materials. Silver is just silver, just a precious metal, and cannot be eaten or drunk.

Although the Spanish Empire now has a large number of colonies, the technology of this era cannot be compared with later generations. Spain cannot obtain materials from the colonies, such as fruits, eggs and meat, and these things cannot be transported to the local area. In addition to guns and warships, the Spanish Empire is now short of meat and fruits, as well as a large amount of people's livelihood supplies.

However, the Ming Dynasty had a large amount of materials, whether it was silk, porcelain, or tea, which could be in short supply. The Dutch East India Company and the Spanish Far East Colonial Army hoped to trade with the Ming Dynasty in exchange for the inexpensive materials in China.

When Liu Mingyu met with Spanish representative Sanchez, the Dutch could no longer sit still.

Liu Mingyu did not hide it and made public his transactions with the Spaniards, from textiles to canned foods, reached a preliminary cooperation intention for commodities worth about 200,000 taels of silver. The Spanish warships hovering in Tainan soon evacuated Tainan.

At this time, the Dutch could not hold on.

On the fourth day of the second month of the eighth year of Chongzhen, the Dutch East India Company warships cruising in Tainan waters attacked Tainan. The Dutch were very fast and even routine reconnaissance, temptation, collecting tide information, etc. were spared, because they were very familiar with these things and rushed to Heliao Port as soon as they came up!

However, after approaching Heliao Port, the Liu family army's actions were far beyond the expectations of the Dutch.

Especially the flagship Rhino, most of the Dutch ship names use animal, color or geographical terms. Boxes, the commander of the Dutch fleet, looked east to west and then turned back to the west, and could not even find a figure.

Not only the infantry, but also the cannons set up on the turrets were gone.

Boxey frowned and said in confusion: "It's strange. Why are these yellow, skinny, monkeys and sons hiding? Don't they want this fortress anymore?"

It is indeed a strange thing. The defensive side should try hard to open fire at this time to block the fleet outside the effective range of its artillery. Compared with warships, coastal artillery can be well protected, and it is not affected by the bumps of the waves when firing. It has a higher accuracy and will take advantage of the fight. Generally speaking, warships are absolutely unwilling to fight head-on with shore defense artillery, and they can't even touch them.

But the Liu family army had no intention of sticking to it, but instead hid all of them. This was so strange!

Adjutant Boxey smiled and said, "Those black and white are probably scared by our fleet and have escaped?"

Although Boxes was optimistic, he was not so optimistic.

He also learned about the Liu family's record from the intelligence of the Dutch East India Company. This is definitely a powerful force that can go far and fight tough battles. The word "fear" cannot be found in the dictionary of this army! He turned his head and ordered: "Temporary shelling will force them out of the mouse hole!"

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom..."

A loud explosion suddenly exploded on the sea surface. The muzzles of hundreds of ship guns spewed out large balls of flames at the same time. The black smoke spread around like a hurricane, and the sea surface seemed to be shaking a black storm.

The round shot put flew out at high speed from the cannon chamber, forming a hot hail and smashed hard towards the port fortress. The flames of the cannons of hundreds of ships and guns had not yet dissipated, and thunder rose again, and hundreds of ships and guns opened fire fiercely. This time, these round things were hitting with strange ballistics, roaring on the docks, turrets, and hillsides...

The big fire was blown up, and the stone chips flew around. Not to mention the lethality, the scene alone was scary enough. The sailors who held the weapons and prepared to fight were greatly motivated, and they waved their swords and spears and shouted wildly. As for the tall and strong black men, they were even more happy, dancing war dances on the deck...

There is no way, black people’s entertainment nature is too strong.

Half an hour after the shelling, the Dutch began to land. The shells were very expensive. After confirming that there were defenders on the port and the upper edge of the fort, with the sound of trumpets and drums, the Dutch soldiers lined up in an orderly line and quickly got off the ship. They were at the port and straightened up.

However, these Dutch people did not realize that the god of death had already grinned at them.

The entire freight yard of the dock seemed messy, with messy paper confetti, straw, and all kinds of garbage, making the entire port look a bit depressed.

The Dutch did not observe the ambush of the Liu family soldiers in the port on the tall masts, and the huge warehouses near the docks also had their doors open.

However, what the Dutch did not expect was that opening the door was just an illusion. The open door of the warehouse did not mean that there were no Tibetans inside.

In fact, there were no people in the warehouse, only a few dogs.

As a large number of strange Dutch people arrived, the dogs in the warehouse began to bark wildly, but the Dutch people didn't care.

At this moment, a black pastoral dog who was extremely frightened broke free and bit off the rope and ran towards the distance. The black dog did not see that there were actually two ropes on his neck, one loose and the other tight. The tight rope should be thicker and the looser should be thinner.

"Puff..."

The detonating cable on the thin rope was ignited by the pulling force of the black dog, which was exhausted by the detonating device of the grenade bullet detonated by the string pulling.

"Shishe..." The sound of the fuse burning sounded.

However, this low voice was covered by the barking of dogs and the excited laughter of the Dutch.

There are a total of six black dogs used to detonate at the same time, and the six fuses start to burn quickly from different angles to the place where the explosives are buried.

On the dock of the port, this gunpowder buried by the Liu family army. This gunpowder is not granular, but powder-like gunpowder that the Dutch people exist in the city. Because the powder is not burning well and the explosion is not sufficient, the power of the black gunpowder is far less than that of the granular black gunpowder.

Based on the principle of waste utilization, Qi Yuanbi buried the seized gunpowder in the port.

The more than a thousand Dutch cannon fodders who landed in the first place were easily eliminated. They believed that as long as they appeared under the city, the only way out was to escape into the ravine.

However, with a loud bang, a huge fireball rose from the dock.

Balls of smoke wrapped around the fireball and rushed to a height of fifty or sixty meters. A huge roar sounded, and the huge roar made all the Dutch present deaf instantly.

The shock waves generated by the explosion of black gunpowder were like hurricanes, ravaging the entire dock.

The entire team of Dutch indigenous soldiers on the dock was the first to be hit. The huge fireball, like a giant beast from ancient times, opened its bloody mouth and instantly swallowed the Dutch soldiers. The Dutch indigenous soldiers who were preparing to explode had no time to scream, and it turned into ashes like lava erupted by a crater.

The Dutch indigenous soldiers who were a little far from the center of the explosion were like invisible giant hands, pulling their hair into the sky, and the huge shock waves blew their bodies into pieces...

Even farther from the explosion, the Dutch soldiers seemed not to be affected by the explosion's shock waves. They could not see any scars on their appearance. They were as if they were asleep, and were knocked to the ground and slept very peacefully.

In fact, they slowly bleed from their orifices and could no longer stand up. They were dead and their internal organs were shattered, and they could not survive no matter what.

The Dutch native soldiers who were farther away fell to the ground and rolled, and those who were lucky enough to be uninjured were also frightened. They stood there stupidly like clay sculptures, letting blood rain fall on their heads, cracked limbs and broken arms and organs hit their bodies, motionless, their faces were pale, their expressions were terrifying, their eyes completely lost their focus, they felt that the sky had collapsed, the earth had cracked, and the end of the world was coming!

More importantly, due to the distance from the center of the explosion, the powerful shock wave actually inferred the tall mast of a Garen ship, which was as high as forty-six meters. The huge mast hit another ship that was about to enter the port, and it ended up sank the ship directly.

The Luermen waterway was blocked like this...
