Ankaya immediately smiled charmingly and said, "I have time in my room, do you have the courage to come?"

Akunia's expression froze. Ankaya was a royal nobleman. If she disagreed, he would not dare to do anything randomly. .

Ankaya looked at him with a sweeter smile, and turned around and left with her twisted waist.

Akunia looked at her back and suddenly said, "Please come over, I want to conquer Taiwan!"

Ankaya turned his head and glanced at him, without saying a word, and continued to turn and leave.

Akunia looked at her back and squinted her eyes.

Now there is not much left to occupy in the Far East. Taiwan is a very suitable island, and you can use it to invade the Ming Dynasty.

He turned around and saw a rough map of the Far East, the most obvious of which was the Ming Dynasty.

"If you can believe in my Lord in such a big place, how glory would it be..." Akunia said to herself, her tone was very low, and she was furious, and she felt restless inside.

He closed his eyes, as if he had seen the grand scene of him conquering the Ming Dynasty and millions of people praying with him. His face was full of intoxication and could not extricate himself for a long time.

"Your Excellency! Your Excellency!"

Suddenly, a soldier broke in and shouted.

Akunia woke up from the dream, sat upright, looked at the person with a cold face. He decided that if there was no big deal, he would severely punish the guy who disturbed his dream.

The soldier stood in front of him and said, "Your Excellency, merchant ships from all over the country have reported that the Ming Dynasty carried out the 'Jinghai Operation' in the nearby waters, requiring all ships to register, pay taxes, and hang the Ming Dynasty flag. Otherwise, all will be seized and confiscated and will not be allowed to pass. Anyone who resists will be sunk. Now more than 30 ships have not returned on time, and may have been seized by the Ming Dynasty."

Akunia sat on the chair with a weird face. After a long time, she said, "You mean, there are other people besides ours?"

"Holland people." The soldiers said simply and directly. In fact, there is no other country in the Far East that can sail far away except these two countries.

Akunia frowned, and he was puzzled. According to his information, the Ming Dynasty only had inland waters. Now the interior is very chaotic and unable to go to sea at all. What are they doing?

He looked down at the table again, and the Ming Dynasty's "declaration of war" frowned more.

"What is the Ming Dynasty going to do?" He looked up at the soldiers who were passing the message and asked in confusion. He was really puzzled. Why did the Ming Dynasty do this? Don't you know that they have the final say on the sea?

But then he narrowed his eyes, curled the corners of his mouth, and showed a strange smile.

"Immediately, send someone to stare at the Horan people and report it immediately whenever there is any abnormal movement!" Akunia suddenly shouted loudly, his voice very excited.

"Yes!" the soldier replied loudly, turning around and leaving quickly.

The more Akunia smiled, she went out. He was going to meet Okundo, the commander of the Far East Fleet who had just come to inspect.

Batavia, East India Company Headquarters.

"Governor General, you have lost more than 70 merchant ships now. The losses are hard to calculate, and the shareholders will definitely be furious." An old man in his early fifties, who looked like a businessman, looked at the middle-aged man sitting at the round table, and said indifferently.

The middle-aged man looked expressionless and turned to look at a young man in his twenties next to him, saying, "Major, the plan to occupy Taiwan may be ahead of schedule."

The major looked frivolous and smiled, "Of course, but I like Xiamen more."

Since the middle-aged man was the colonial governor Putmans, he turned to look at the old man who had just spoken and said, "Go to Taiwan first, then to Xiamen. The Ming Dynasty will compensate you for the losses. What do you think ten times?"

The old man shrugged and said, "No problem, the preachers' words have always been credible. The porcelain and silk of the Ming Dynasty were very valuable, and the members of the parliament also liked it."

Putmans suppressed the resistance of the natives in India not long ago. This time he came to Taiwan. Xuexi had been careless and failed before. He was originally planning to resolve the situation in August, which happened to be a big day in China.

‘It’s good to be ahead of time, there may be unexpected surprises.’ Putmans slowly smiled on his face. He has seen too many similar situations. Some countries seem to have strong resistance, but they will surrender more thoroughly after failure.

The colonial system of the Netherlands and the Land was a very early generation, a freak that combines officials and businessmen. Its name is the East India Company, a joint-stock company, but it is like a government.

Batavia moved very quickly, drawing ships and men from all over the place, gathering in the port, sails fluttering, and enthusiasm was boiling.

Now is the end of the great geographical discovery. The only real colonists are Spain, Spain and the Netherlands. The others are cautious and have not let go of their hands. Therefore, the only opponents of the Netherlands are Spain. When facing the indigenous people except Spain, they have almost never lost their results!

So, in their opinion, Taiwan is already their pocket.

The Netherlands and the Orientals moved. It is logical that the Spanish and the Orientals should be the most nervous. After all, the Netherlands and the Orientals have already ‘buyed’ many colonies in the United States, but this time they were not nervous at all and quietly gathered the fleet.

They did not hide it, which was completely unnecessary for them. Warships, merchant ships, and people were quickly gathering, waiting for sails to set off and conquer a land full of gold.

The Ming Dynasty had been preparing for several years, but when it reached this pass, it became more and more nervous and was tense everywhere.

This tension naturally comes from Zhu Xu. The Navy, as a whole, still doesn't understand the outside world, and does not know what the Red-haired Man, the Franchise Man looks like and how powerful he is. He just held his breath and prepared to do a big fight.

Zhu Xu also felt it, so he didn't come out very often. He just appeared in the cafeteria three times in the morning, noon and evening to boost morale, inspect the base, and then do routine things in his room.

Seeing that July was coming, the statistics on summer grain were basically released. Zhu Xu felt relieved when he looked at the number "two million" and the situation was much better than he expected.

"Your Majesty, this is the cabinet's request for a memorial." Cao Huachun came in and handed a memorial to Zhu Xu.

Recently, the details of the "New Deal" have gradually appeared, and more and more things are needed to ask for instructions. Emperor Zhu Xu, who has gone to the south, has increased a lot of trouble.

Zhu Xu took it and looked at it, nodded slightly.

Bi Ziyan and others launched the reform of "new weights and measures", suggesting that volume units such as "Stone Dok" be removed, and the weight is refined to "pound weight". According to Zhu Xu's suggestions, new "simple numbers" are created, etc. are planned to be implemented this year.

Zhu Xu picked up the pen and approved the word "accurate". This was something that had been planned long ago. It was nothing more than giving out detailed rules and having time and energy to do it.

After Zhu Xu handed over the memorial, Cao Huachun brought a plate and said, "Your Majesty, the new currency has been released in major banks. There is no problem yet."

New coins are divided into three types: copper coins: one monday; silver coins: one qian, five qian; paper money: one qian, five qian, and one liang. These are collectively called Jingzheng Tongbao. Whether it is a royal bank or a private bank, large amounts of silver notes are not allowed to be issued. In the future, the "Jingzheng Tongbao" that the royal bank will circulate on the market will be the newly minted "Jingzheng Tongbao".

Zhu Xu looked at these new coins and looked at them with a slight jaw.

This is also a necessary part of the rectification of the market. This will greatly increase the court's ability to regulate the market in the future and provide a great help to Zhu Xu to straighten out the goals of the Ming Dynasty's economy.

"Let Fu Tao keep an eye on it. If there is anything, you should report it immediately. If necessary, you can deal with it decisively before reporting it." Zhu Xu said. Issuing new coins has never been a trivial matter, let alone in such a chaotic era.

Cao Huachun understood and said, "Abide by the order."

Zhu Xu continued to look at the memorial again, ignoring the situation outside.

After five days in a row, the news that the Dutch and Spanish troops headed north finally reached the military camp.

In the combat room, Zhu Xu stood in front.

Zhu Youjian, Xiong Wencan and a group of deputy generals and generals gathered on both sides, looking at the huge sand table in the middle.

Zhu Youjian had a few big pieces of paper in his hand. He said without looking at it, "Your Majesty, based on the news from the Jinyiwei and the Maritime Merchant, the Red-haired Man and the Franchise Man have moved. Calculate the distance, and they will arrive at it at most five days."

"Tell me about their troops and ships." Zhu Xu said with a faint expression.

Zhu Youjian said, "Yes, the Red Haired Man, twenty-five warships, and the merchant ships were replaced by forty-two. The Red Haired Man was less than three thousand, and the servants were five thousand, and the artillery was about one hundred and twenty. The Franchiser warships were twelve, the merchant ships were thirty, the Franchiser men, and the Franchiser men were two thousand, and the servants were eighty. "

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
