Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Taiwan is far away from the mainland, and communication is inconvenient. In order to let Zheng Chenggong take back Taiwan, Zhu Youjian wrote a note to Zheng Chenggong.

He also told Zheng Chenggong that he was not allowed to peek at the handbook before recovering Taiwan, and that once he succeeded in recovering Taiwan, he would immediately open the note to read it.

Although very curious, Zheng Chenggong never peeked at the emperor's handbook, and finally waited for this day.

Zheng Chenggong was also very shocked when he first saw the content of the emperor's handbook.

It never occurred to him that the emperor had already made arrangements for the recovery of Taiwan.

After the generals got up, Zheng Chenggong looked at Shi Lang and asked:

"Shi Lang, how damaged is the red-haired battleship? Can it still sail at sea?"

Shi Lang hastily cupped his fists and saluted:

"Reporting to the governor, there are still two red-haired ghost battleships, one is too damaged to sail, and the other can sail to Batavia."

Zheng Chenggong:

"Okay, sink the useless warship, hand over the other warship to Anthony, and let them go back to report."

Before Zheng Chenggong could speak, Shi Lang immediately expressed his objection:

"Captain, isn't this inappropriate? We managed to catch them, why did you let the red hair go away? Doesn't that mean letting the tiger go back to the mountain? There will be endless troubles!"

Zheng Chenggong looked at Shi Lang with a half-smile and asked:

"You mean, kill them all, right? Letting them go is the emperor's decision, not my Zheng Chenggong's. Besides, if you don't let them go, what will you do with the 1000 million taels of silver? Will you give it to Shi Lang?"

Shi Lang scratched his head in embarrassment and stopped talking. Since it was the emperor's decision, there was no room for Shi Lang to object.

"Come here, send Anthony and these red-haired ghosts to their battleship together, and let them go."

"Yes"

What Zheng Chenggong said almost moved Anthony to death, including other red-haired ghosts were deeply surprised, and some even shed crocodile tears.

After being captured by the Ming army, they thought they would die, but they didn't expect to escape from death. As for how to explain to the superiors when they go back, that is something after they go back. The most important thing is to survive for the time being.

Anthony was courageous and decided to confirm again:

"Excuse me, Commander, will you really let us go? Isn't this a dream?"

What answered him was Zheng Chenggong's cold words:

"Is it a dream? You can ask your lord. This is the order of my Emperor Ming. Take him back to your king and give you a two-month deadline. Otherwise, it will mean war. Our Daming Fleet will Drive to Amsterdam."

"Great, please rest assured, the governor, we will definitely hand over the Emperor Ming's letter to His Majesty the King."

Hearing Zheng Chenggong's threatening words, although Anthony was upset, he still readily agreed.

As for when the Ming Fleet arrived in Amsterdam, Anthony believed that the Kingdom of the Netherlands would use the power of the whole country to destroy the Ming Fleet without mercy.

Chapter 403 The Spaniard's Calculation

Seeing Zheng Chenggong let go of more than 30 Hongmao fans, all the generals were upset.

They fought from Mengyuan to Liaodong, and there has never been a precedent for releasing prisoners.

Of course Zheng Chenggong could see their dissatisfaction. Did he want to let the captives go?of course not.

Although Zheng Chenggong didn't know the emperor's intentions, he knew that the emperor would never do business at a loss.

So Zheng Chenggong comforted the generals:

"Everyone, don't have any objections, and don't dig into the horns. It is the will of the current emperor to let the captives go, and I can't resist it.

Today's sage is a sage, and you should have seen his methods and style of doing things.

I think the Holy Majesty is definitely playing a big game of chess, and we are determined to implement it. Now order you to return to the battleship to check the damage and withdraw your troops. "

Zhang Huangyan, Shi Lang and others heard what Zheng Chenggong said, and their unhappiness disappeared in an instant.

"Yes, they can question the emperor's intentions. As generals under the emperor's command, the only thing they can do is to resolutely carry out the emperor's will."

All the generals immediately answered in unison:

"Yes"

After receiving the order, all the generals returned to the warships they had left to check the damage to the warships and the placement of the wounded.

The eleven iron-clad warships of the Ming Dynasty fully fired and wiped out the fleet of twelve Dutch warships.

And his own fleet itself did not suffer much damage.

At most, there are some parts of the battleship's hull, which are just a little pitted and hollowed out by the opponent's shells.

Zheng Chenggong gave an order, and the fleet was ready to return. Suddenly, the observation post reported:

"Captain, five unknown warships are found cruising in our waters in the distance."

As soon as the generals heard it, they immediately came to spirits:

"What? There are still unknown warships coming, let's see which country's warship it is."

"Reporting to the general, the unknown warship is a little far away from us, and the nationality is not clear for the time being."

Zheng Chenggong thought for a while:

"It should be to scout the warship that we fought with the red hair, it is probably either a Japanese warship or a Spanish warship.

Hongwu Wanli, let's go to see the situation, and the other warships will go back with Zhang Huangyan. "

"Yes"

Zhang Huangyan led the other nine warships back to Zeelandia.

The Hongwu and Wanli immediately sailed in the direction of the unknown warship by riding the wind and waves.

The so-called unidentified warship is the Spanish warship, and it is also a sailing warship.

Spain's colonial headquarters in Asia was in Luzon, which is now the Philippines.

Luzon, the name of the ancient country.

Now Luzon Island in the Philippines mainly refers to Manila and its vicinity.

Since the Song and Yuan Dynasties, Chinese merchant ships have often come here for trade.
