1202 Marines

While Emperor Chongzhen was thinking about it, Smith continued to arrogantly in the group: "Why, don't you believe it? Tell you, I am the guard of the Governor's Office. That day, I heard the Governor's words. Humph, when Badavia's construction is completed, you can watch it. These more than 4,000 Eastern monkeys will definitely be slaughtered for you!"

"Don't think that we Dutch people are comparable to those Spanish! Our Dutch fleet has no rivals in the world. You group of Eastern monkeys don't know yet, it's better for you Eastern monkeys to take the lead and unite all the monkeys, and we Dutch people as the leader, and kill all your Ming troops in Nanyang!"

“…”

Faced with his arrogance, the Ming people in the group were angry. Everyone scolded Smith to death with one word, and wiped Smith's speech so hard that they didn't know where they went.

The crowd was in a state of great emotion, but after they got sleepy, they got off the line and forgot everything they had just happened.

However, Emperor Chongzhen did not. From Smith's words, he caught the point. Liu Xiang's joint forces with the South China Sea can also be proved from the side from this. In addition, Batavia has more than 4,000 Ming workers. Although not as many as Luzon, more than 4,000 lives are still a lot. You must not watch them slaughtered by the Dutch.

Emperor Chongzhen felt a little heavier when he thought about this.

The Battle of Southeast Asia was certain. He was also preparing. Although they all wanted to unite and were headed by the Dutch, clamoring that the Dutch fleet was invincible. These things were nothing wrong with him, just frogs in the well!

However, what should I do if the more than 4,000 Ming people do and how to save them? You must know that Batavia is far away from Luzon, and there are many indigenous forces and the sphere of influence of Liu Xiang pirates. It is difficult and almost impossible to attack Batavia first to save the more than 4,000 Ming people.

What should I do? Emperor Chongzhen was a little worried when he thought about it!

Let Liu Xiang’s third leader go to Batavia to find an opportunity? Not to mention whether he has any reason to make sense, even if it really goes, in the Dutch base camp, how capable is Liang Xiaozhen to save those Ming people?

Besides, Liang Xiaozhen is a very important secret chess step. When Daming fought against them, his level was high enough and he needed to provide information. If he could not use him, try not to use him.

After thinking for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen's heart moved. As a later generation, for such special combat missions, it was naturally easy to think of establishing special forces to rescue people.

In ancient times, it was not realistic to establish special forces. But the key problem was that Emperor Chongzhen had a chat group and could communicate instantly, which was a very big advantage. Understand the local environment, know the internal situation of Batavia, and have a chat group to communicate. At that time, the internal and external cooperation will be possible to successfully rescue.

Of course, the time can be chosen on the eve of the decisive battle in the South China Sea, or at the beginning, or when the main Dutch fleet leaves Batavia, or when the Ming army is about to attack Batavia. Maybe, they can cooperate with the main attacking troops to bring Batavia together, leaving behind the earliest classic examples of special forces in this plane!

After measuring for a while, Emperor Chongzhen found that there was only one way to rescue these more than 4,000 Ming people.

So, he no longer hesitated and immediately pulled Sun Chuanting, the governor of Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong provinces, and Zheng Zhilong (Liu Jinsheng), the navy commander. He briefly explained the situation and then said to Sun Chuanting: "Sun Qing, some of the Ming people who were taken away by the Folang Ji people are in Batavia. As long as all the Ming people in Batavia are found, I will restore the post of your post. I believe that others have nothing to say!"

When Sun Chuanting heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. However, he had not yet figured out the difficulty of saving the Ming people in Batavia. When he heard Emperor Chongzhen ask about Zheng Zhilong's method, but Zheng Zhilong had no good solution, his excitement cooled down significantly.

Apart from Emperor Chongzhen, if anyone is most familiar with Nanyang, it is Zheng Zhilong. But he has no choice but to do anything, then there is really nothing he can do.

Based on this, Emperor Chongzhen said his thoughts in the temporary group: "Since that's the case, we will draw elite troops from each army to form a special combat force, and train specifically for the purpose of rescuing the Ming people in Batavia. I thought about it and the personnel requirements must meet the following points."

"One, all the water is in the city. After all, it is fighting in Southeast Asia, so the landslides are not good."

"Second, this army is likely to not attack hard from the Dutch port. The hard attack is to take a detour after landing, so the terrain and climate of the island must be adapted to the high intensity of march."

"Three, after saving the local Ming people, they basically have to fight with the Dutch in Batavia and persist until reinforcements arrive. It should be unrealistic to quietly withdraw, so they must be able to fight a tough battle!"

“…”

As he spoke, a word popped up in Emperor Chongzhen's mind: Marine Corps!

After he said what he could think of, he said to the two people in the group: "You gather the matters of this special forces personnel as soon as possible. You should train in Luzon. You can decide the specific location. As for the enemy information and terrain information in Batavia, I will find a way!"

Finally, he reminded again: "This matter must be as soon as possible! All efforts are to save the more than 4,000 Ming people in Batavia!"

Basically, Emperor Chongzhen was talking alone. From this, whether it was Sun Chuanting or Zheng Zhilong (Liu Jinsheng), they deeply felt the emperor's concern for the more than 4,000 Ming people. At this time, they also deeply understood the holy intention.

The current emperor is completely different from the emperors of all dynasties! Any emperor in the past, even those who were praised by literati, could not catch up with the current emperor. With such an emperor, the people of the Ming Dynasty, especially those overseas, did not know which lifetime they had blessed!

Therefore, neither of them dared to neglect and immediately responded. Not to mention, the success of this matter also concerns Sun Chuanting's official position.

After following the instructions, Emperor Chongzhen did not rest. He thought about it for a while and learned about the situation at the Hoi'an Shipyard in the chat group through the Jinyiwei in the chat group.

Originally, Emperor Chongzhen planned to build a new shipyard in Guangdong, but Zheng Zhilong attacked him and basically took down Hoi An intact. There were Portuguese shipyards and gun shops, and many of them were relatively advanced in this era. Therefore, in the end, the first shipyard in the south was first set up here, and many of the ship craftsmen and military war masters sent from the capital were sent to Hoi An.

Now, for the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has mastered the sailing technology of the Westerners. At this time, unless the Ming Dynasty took out a steamship, the sailing ship was the most advanced. However, in terms of guns and cannons, the Ming Dynasty was actually ahead of Western countries at this time. The front-mounted rifled cannons have not only been successfully tested in the capital, but also in Hoi'an.

However, there are many disadvantages. The rifle gun is loading slowly and it is not used many times, so the rifle wear will be severe. In other words, the number of times the front-load rifle gun is used is much smaller than that of ordinary smoothbore guns. Therefore, the cost of rifle guns is actually very high.

However, it was also a pity that Sun Chuanting was selfless and hardworking to collect taxes. The tax he collected from Kaihai was getting more and more year by year, so the funds of the Southern Navy were getting more and more sufficient year by year. Although the cost of the front-loading rifled gun was higher, it could still be made.

Emperor Chongzhen also had expectations that he was determined to win the decisive battle in Southeast Asia, so he was even more inclined in terms of funds. Although the production of the front-loaded rifled guns was not as good as that of the smoothbore guns, there was already a batch of inventory.

If war starts next year, steam ships should not be able to catch up. At present, the performance is not stable and it will definitely not be used on the battlefield. But it doesn’t matter, the Ming Dynasty can be violent. Every time a batch of Ming Junior Navy School in Fuzhou, Fujian can form dozens of warships.

It may take a long time for others to train a group of qualified sailors. However, the Ming Dynasty had a large foundation of fishermen. These people first became familiar with the old and led the new when they entered the navy. The Navy Academy selected experienced experts from the navy for training. Whether it was the quality or quantity of the soldiers, it was estimated that there was no country in this world that could compare with the serious Ming Dynasty.

The future Nanyang Battle will be very different from the past, mainly depending on the decisive battle of the navy. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen had already chosen the commander of the Nanyang Battle, no longer a land general, but Zheng Zhilong, which was unique in the history of the Central Plains. Or after this battle, it marked the rise of the navy and could be renamed the navy!

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen immediately felt a little strange. The navy was too ugly, so it was better for the navy!

Now that the situation in the Ming Dynasty is stable and there is money, the warships are profitable and cannons are not a problem. The key now is to obtain intelligence. The so-called intelligence comes first before the troops move, which is the most wise saying.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen started to add people again. However, before he added people, he kicked Smith, and there was no way. Since Smith entered the group, the main chat area has become mutual confrontation. Although they both forgot to say anything after they left the group, this did not prevent them from starting to argue with each other again after entering the group, and repeated it all the time. Emperor Chongzhen was also annoyed, and felt that he didn't have much value in use, so he kicked it out.

The reason why he continued to start adding people was because he believed that now the group leader was clear about what he wanted to do, and this matter was also very important for ZTE. With the nature of the chat group system, it would definitely be added to the right candidate.

After adding fifty people in one breath, one person caught his attention. The age of knowing destiny should have been clear about everything and looked down on the world. However, this newly added man who knew destiny gave himself a name called "Sinner".

Sure enough, without asking questions, the sinner spoke anxiously after entering the group for a while: "Are you all in the Ming Dynasty?"

"Nonsense, where do you think it is? By the way, I am from Xi'an, are there any group members from Xi'an?"

"I am from Yingtian Mansion, looking for fellow villagers!"

“…”

After he said this, the group suddenly became popular with fellow villagers. Not to mention that although the Ming Dynasty is so big, there are always a few people from the same place. Then they started to talk about meeting offline. It’s a pity that the system now has more functions. When they make an appointment for a time and place, once they exit the group, they should do whatever they should do? Offline dates? What is that?

Emperor Chongzhen ignored these things, he was paying attention to the sinners.

"Everyone, I'm asking you all. I don't know who can help me report to the official position. I'm very grateful!"

At this time, the group was already recognizing the fellow villagers and was very enthusiastic, and no one paid attention to him, the initiator. However, Zhang Wu replied, "What's wrong? Are you going to ask the government for help?"

From the words of this sinner, he felt his feelings when he had just joined the group, and his intuition told him that maybe this person would be the same as he did!

"Yes, I wonder if this brother is going to do me a favor and help me report to the government!"

"I'm not in the country, I'm in Luzon. I wonder if I can help?"

"Ah, are you in Luzon?"

“…”

Emperor Chongzhen looked at their chat and knew that the system did not disappoint him, and a useful person was actually added. So he sent a private chat to the sinner.

A place where Ming people gathered in Batavia, there is a house that is obviously better than the surrounding straw huts, at least from the yellow mud house. In the yard, there is an old man lying on a chair with gray hair and looking like he is almost buried in the soil, at least in his seventies or eighties.

There were a few men sitting around him. But at this time, the atmosphere was a bit weird.

The old man had his eyes closed, and these men didn't say anything. They were looking at each other, with a very strange expression on their faces, and they stared at the old man on the chair from time to time. Obviously, it was the old man who made them show such a strange expression.

Finally, a man spoke with a little heaviness and said, "Does we really have to do this? If this life goes on like this, how will it be in the future? I still want to go back to my hometown!"

"Those pirates are really not things. Everyone is a wise man, but they are so fierce. I really miss the days before. Mr. Su is our Kabidan, at least he won't suffer so much!" Another person also said.

"Sometimes, I really envy those Ming people in Luzon!" The third man also said, "At least they fought and could wait until the imperial army arrived. But we were too far away, and the imperial court didn't know that we were suffering here!"
Chapter completed!
