I have tried my best to choose when it is late at night, and there are few people watching it at this time. At the fastest, it usually takes at least half an hour to modify it to the correct content. It is fine to read it on a computer, and it is fine to automatically subscribe to it with a mobile app. As long as I don’t click on the chapter when I haven’t modified it yet. Once I click on it, the wrong chapter content will be downloaded and entered into the mobile phone cache. At this time, even if I modify the mobile client, it is still the wrong content and will never change.

At this time, you can only download this chapter again. If it doesn’t work, you can only delete the book and remove it, and then add it again and put it on the shelves.

There are few people reading niche books and are rampant. There is no way to do so. If you don’t do this, you can’t make it. I’m sorry.

***************************************************

February 2, 1642, may have been ordinary in the original long river of history, but now there are different waves in this time and space where people are in.

To be honest, Shi Qinjie has deduced countless scenes of the war between the East Coast Republic and the Dutch in his mind. One night, the Dutch gathered a large number of fleets to steal the port; among them, there were also the Dutch who captured some of the Portuguese strongholds in East Africa and began to siege the New China Bay; among them, the Portuguese and his old enemy, the Dutch, who united with him, and Shi worked hard to establish the New China colony. However, he never imagined that the battle would begin from an inconspicuous attack on fishing boats, and it would come so suddenly...

Baishui was still instructing the recruits on the fort to better shell the enemy. The training of these people was not enough, and the shells were hit hard at this time. However, after experiencing the initial chaos, they were better than before. After dozens of shells went down, some shells hit the enemy ships, causing some chaos to the Dutch.

Shi Qinjie looked at the sea with shells flying in front of him, but his thoughts gradually floated to other places. Why did the Dutch suddenly appear here? And they also attacked our fishing boats? They rarely appeared in this sea area because it was not at any route location. So are they gradually turning their attention to the East Coast people? Has the East Coast people's vigorous development in the New China region made them gradually unbearable? Or do they feel that the East Coast people's stronghold in this sea area has threatened the safety of their route from Cape Town to Batavia near the Sunda Strait?

How should I deal with the Dutch attack on our fishing boat? Is this an isolated incident or the beginning of a series of frictions or conspiracy? Should I express my strong protest to the Dutch, or should I just wait when the matter has not happened? Just as Shi Qinjie was thinking about gains and losses, a burst of cheers suddenly came from around him. It turned out that an 18-pound shell hit the captain's room in the Dutch's stern building! However, this lucky shell obviously did not have much effect. The Dutch captain who was as gorgeous as a rooster was still standing on the fence outside the bridge, yelling and commanding.

The three Dutch ships made a difficult turn at the entrance of the bay, but their luck was not very good. They were both countercurrent and the wind direction was not very smooth. Therefore, several ships seemed so clumsy at the entrance of the bay. This slow-moving target gave a group of not very skilled rookie gunners on the turrets on both sides an excellent opportunity to shoot targets. Under the command of the officers, they kept adjusting the direction of the barrel, angle and loading volume. Various shells such as bombs, solid iron bombs, chain bombs, etc. took turns to fight, falling around several Dutch ships like rain. There were water columns soaring into the sky in the sea, and from time to time, several shells fell on the other party's hull, causing the Dutch sailors on the ship to scream and panic.

"Old Bai, why don't you... let everyone stop first? These Dutch ships are very strange. If they continue to fight, they will be difficult to clean up. If it causes an international incident, this..." Shi Qinjie looked for a long time, then found Baishui who was commanding the shooting and said hesitantly.

"What? Stop?" Bai Shui turned his head in surprise and looked at Shi Qinjie with a look of worry behind him, and then asked, "Why stop? These Dutch guys attacked our fishing boats. How can we stop if we don't beat them up? Old Shi, although you are my boss, I have to say that you can't be kind to the enemy, nor can you look back on the front! If you have any problems today, we will finish the fight first!"

After saying that, Baishui inserted a red-burned iron chisel into the cannon door. With a "boom", a 24-pound solid iron ball flew over the sea hundreds of meters and plunged into the side of the Dutch ship closest to Fort No. 3. The splashed wood chips injured many nearby gunners who were working on artillery. However, the fate of this Dutch ship was not over. A chain bullet flew over from Fort No. 1 directly hit the largest piece of canvas in the middle mast, tearing the already broken canvas, losing most of its effectiveness.

The Dutch ship was chasing the most fiercely at that time, of course, it was also the deepest at the bay. It was located about a hundred meters southwest of the island where the No. 2 Fortress was located (No. 2 Fortress had not yet been installed). It was fighting against the countercurrent and southeastern wind that flowed into the bay, turning around with difficulty. However, it seemed that it would be difficult for it to complete this action for a while, so when he saw the East Coast people who had a advantage, they immediately concentrated more than half of the firepower and greeted it. The other two Dutch ships did not want to cause trouble. After all, it was too stupid to use their wooden hull to fight against the semi-enclosed turret built on both sides of the shore, but they obviously seemed a little hesitant at this time, not knowing whether they should give up their companions and escape.

The people of the East Coast quickly made a decision for them with artillery fire. A few shots of 18 pounds and 24 pounds of iron fell around the two hesitant and wandering Dutch ships, scaring them to stop here and began to sail to the outer sea. When the Dutch ship saw his companions abandon him and leave without hesitation, the sailors on the deck cursed in the most vicious words, and the loud sound was vaguely heard by the rumbling cannons.

Without the "friends" who share the firepower, this unlucky Dutch ship quickly added scars under the repeated ravages of more than 20 long-barrel heavy artillery. Although the east coast artillery on the turrets on both sides are basically rookies, and the cannons are also new artillery, and the head is not very high, it cannot withstand the dense fire bombardment. Especially the artillery barrels of the East Coast people have a long barrel and the cannons are bored at a fast speed. Occasionally, a shell that falls on the hull can kill them. Not to mention those annoying chain bombs, the canvas on the ship is now being beaten to pieces, and the hull has been damaged several times. The entire ship is starting to be a little unharmed, and the Dutch people gradually feel a little uncomfortable. This is the rhythm of being sunk.

Finally, after the front mast was broken by another chain bomb, the Dutch armed merchant ship was finally unable to bear it under the continuous attacks of heavy artillery on the east coast coast with its increasingly high head. Their sailors raised a white flag on the top mast and declared humiliating surrender. The rookies on the turrets on both sides cheered, and they quickly sent people to board the Dutch ship in a small boat, and then controlled the entire ship as soon as possible. More than 50 Dutch sailors on the ship were taken down dejectedly, and the staff sent by the army were ready to interrogate them.

Shi Qinjie sighed, ignored the cheering voices of the soldiers beside him, took his entourage on the boat, and then returned to Xinhua Fort worriedly. Not long after he returned, the Army staff in charge of the interrogation copied a copy of the interrogation record and handed it over to him.

"The Dutch really had premeditated!" After reading it, Shi Qinjie sighed in his heart that things were indeed not that simple. Where did so many isolated incidents come from this world? This is clearly a signal that the Dutch's attitude towards the East Coast began to gradually change. According to the news obtained from the interrogation, three Dutch armed merchant ships went from Amsterdam to the Moluca Islands. When passing Cape Town, they accepted the request of the local Governor Deyan while waiting for the monsoon, and attacked the enemy ships or strongholds along the way. In fact, this is not the first time they have done this. Whether it is ships from Europe to East India, or ships from East India to Europe, these Dutch people will attack the enemy's overseas fortresses, shopping malls or ships whenever they have the chance. In the past, the main targets of their attacks were the Portuguese and the British, but now the East Coast people are also fortunate to join this list.

"This route will not be peaceful in the future." Shi Qinjie lamented again and said to himself: "I have long said that those madmen would have an accident in Brazil all day long. They are still indifferent and continue to do their own things. Damn, now the retribution is on me, this is really fucking! Why do you have to bear the bitter consequences of these militaristic madmen? "

"No, I have to think of a solution!" Shi Qinjie thought about it again, then stood up suddenly, walked around the house twice, and then continued to murmur: "New China is weak, and only the two ships that the Second Fleet berth are not enough. Moreover, the second Fleet's home port is in Hezhong Fort, and they cannot stay here for a long time. They always have to go to South Africa regularly. So will they always rely on the artillery to defend passively in the future? This is not possible, and they have to think about other tricks. The Dutch route either goes from Cape Town to Xun through the southwest monsoon on the waters on the southwest side of Madagascar Island to Xun either through the southwest monsoon on the waters on the southwest side of Madagascar Island to reach Xun either through the southwest monsoon from Cape Town through the southwest monsoon on the waters on the southwest side of Madagascar Island

His strait either sails along the coastline of Africa, and finally enters the Spice Islands through Ceylon Island, through Malacca Strait. Well, no matter which route, you can't avoid Madagascar. In other words, they can come to me to harass me when sailing. Moreover, ships coming from South Africa may often encounter these Dutch people halfway. After all, everyone is on the same route. So will the navy be escorted every time in the future? If a transport ship coming from South Africa is robbed by the Dutch halfway, will the New China Xia be stucked by the neck?"

"Damn, this matter must be cautious." Shi Qinjie thought irritably, "It seems that I got the Mozambique Island to the west and went around. Our Portuguese neighbors must have been deeply troubled by these Dutch merchants (pirates). I heard that even Mozambique Island has been besieged several times. We should have a common language in dealing with Dutch pirates, so let's go and see if we can unite with the Portuguese here." "No, we have to think of a way!" Shi Qinjie thought about it again, then stood up suddenly, walked around the house twice, and then continued to mutter in a low voice: "The strength of Xinhuaxia is weak, and only the two ships stationed by the Second Fleet are not enough. Moreover, the second Fleet's home port is in Hezhong Fort, and they cannot stay here for a long time. They always have to go to the south regularly. Moreover, the second Fleet's home port is in Hezhong Fort. Moreover, they cannot stay here for a long time. Moreover, they must go to the south regularly.

If you are not there, will you always rely on the artillery to defend here passively? This is not possible, you have to think about other tricks. The Dutch route either goes from Cape Town to the Sunda Strait through the southwest monsoon, or sails along the African coastline near the east, and finally enters the Spice Islands through Ceylon Island. Well, no matter which route you can't avoid Madagascar, in other words, they can come to me to harass me when sailing. Moreover, ships coming from South Africa may often encounter these Dutch people halfway, after all, everyone is on the same route, so do you have to increase the escort of the navy every time in the future? If a transport ship coming from South Africa is robbed by the Dutch halfway, wouldn't New China be stucked by the Dutch?"
