[Chapter 489 Contempt]

PS: I thought it would be free, but the price of the previous chapter was only half the price. If I try it again tomorrow, it will be a free chapter.

“It’s a pity that the cavalry didn’t come this time, otherwise none of these Japanese pirates would be able to escape.” Lu Fei walked up to the high ground covered in blood. “These Japanese pirates are looking for death if they want to compete with the general in martial arts.”

With that, Lu Fei willed three samurai swords .

Throwing the knife on the ground, he continued: “Your Highness, these Japanese pirate samurai swords are really good. If the previous weapons really couldn’t withstand the chop of these samurai swords.”

Historically, the quality of Japanese pirate samurai swords was indeed good, but Xiao Ming doesn’t like these things now. The silver, gold and sulfur of Japan are what he wants.

The war is still in progress, and Lu Fei is here to ask Xiao Ming for his next order.

“Luo Xin, now you cooperate with Lu Fei to immediately take over the contract of Michila, and allocate another 4,000 people to support Claire. Their situation seems to be bad,” Xiao Ming said.

From where he stood, Xiao Ming could also see Claire commanding the army to fight the Japanese pirates’ reinforcements. The Dutch still suffered a lot in the face of the overwhelming number of Japanese pirates.

“Yes, Your Highness!

“

“Lu Fei and Luo Xin responded at the same time.

Then Luo Xin immediately ordered the soldiers to use horses to pull the field artillery towards the direction of Michila Castle, while Lu Fei gathered four thousand people and headed towards Claire, and he led

Following

the remaining soldiers, they headed towards Michila Castle.

After receiving support from the Qingzhou Army, the Japanese reinforcements from Claire’s direction were quickly defeated, and taking advantage of the chaos, Luo Xin and Lu Fei also successfully captured Michila Castle.

, the Dutch army and Xiao Ming continued to send soldiers to eliminate the remaining Japanese pirates, and most of the soldiers were stationed in Michila Castle.

The war lasted from noon to evening. When night fell, Lu Fei handed over the data of the battle. Gave it to Xiao Ming.

“Your Highness, we killed 6,000 Japanese pirates this time. In addition, we captured more than 1,000 Japanese pirates. All the remaining Japanese pirates escaped. We did not find the bodies of Sakai and Makino Haruaki. “Lu Fei said.

“It’s such a pity that Sakai, the villain, escaped with his life again. ” Rhodes said bitterly.

Claire was still distressed by the loss of more than 700 soldiers. After this Japanese rebellion, their strength in Ryukyu was further weakened.

And through this battle, he also got to know the King of Qi The strength of the army is not a weak one.

In his opinion, this army is very close to their European musketeers.

“Sakai is no longer important. Now that we have recaptured Michila Castle, there are no Japanese pirates on the island. A foothold. Claire said.

Xiao Ming nodded. This time the Japanese pirates were defeated and basically lost their combat effectiveness. They were unable to fight against him who occupied Michila Castle. Now he officially controlled the main island of Ryukyu and also controlled the sea routes.

Because during this period, all merchant ships going south had to pass through the strait to the west of Ryukyu, and now he could directly cut off the southward trade of Goryeo and Japanese pirates, and of course the King of Chu and the King of Wei were no exception.

“Count Claire, this battle is enough to prove this. The king is loyal to the contract, and I hope you can also faithfully fulfill the contents of the contract. From now on, you must stop all trade with Japanese pirates. “

In Xiao Ming’s opinion, this battle is the best deterrent to Claire. If he is not too stupid, he should understand what to do next.

Sighing in his heart, Claire understood that he has no choice now. The Netherlands is thousands of miles away from here. He It is impossible for the country to send tens of thousands of troops to East Asia. In fact, it is already difficult to maintain existing colonies with the decline of national power, not to mention that Britain is eyeing their colonies.

“As you wish, Your Highness, from now on. , the contract has come into effect, and I will fulfill the contents of the contract. From now on, Ryukyu Island and Michila Bastion will be officially transferred to His Highness. At the same time, I hope that His Highness will dispatch a permanent army of 2,000 people in the city of Relanja. “Claire felt a sense of shame in her heart. This was one nation bowing to another nation.

The current trend in Europe believes that “white people are supremacist and everyone else is inferior” because in the century-old colonial road, Europeans have never lost to people of color and A case of being forced to sign a hazing agreement.

So Claire is now extremely unwilling. Although he chose to surrender for the benefit of the company, like the mainstream thoughts in Europe, he deeply despises these

people of color .

Xiao Ming noticed the fleeting arrogance in Claire’s eyes, and he also understood Claire’s unwillingness, because the Dutch soldier’s emotions were more direct and clear than Claire’s forbearance,

but he enjoyed it

.

This feeling is because he wants to prove that they lose on technology, not the color of their skin. In the future, he will let more Europeans understand this truth and let them put away their arrogance

. Claire and Rod left the Michila Castle with the Dutch soldiers.

Watching the Dutch leave, Xiao Ming had a smile on his face. He had to admit that the contemporary age of sea navigation was the stage of Europe, but here he was not. I will miss this gluttonous feast.

“Your Highness, these red-haired ghosts don’t look very happy. Lu Fei scratched his head and said.

Luo Xin curled his lips, “Of course they are not happy. Now it means that Relanja City and Ryukyu Island are under our control, and they can only become our vassals.” “

Xiao Ming nodded when he heard this, “Luo Xin is right. The Dutch and we are just using each other and cannot completely trust each other. After all, they are Europeans and they are wary of people outside of Europe. “

Lu Fei and Luo Xin nodded after hearing this.

After a pause, Xiao Ming continued: “Have the injured soldiers been properly placed?

“That’s it. They are being treated by Dutch medical officers in the castle.

“

“Lu Fei said.

Compared with the heavy losses suffered by the Japanese, the Qingzhou Army performed well this time. After all, the advantage of the range of the fusiliers was reflected in this battle. Relatively speaking, Qingzhou’s losses were not large.

“Your Highness, what should we do with these captured Japanese pirates?” Lu Fei asked again.

Xiao Ming walked to a table. On the table was a map with the details of Ryukyu Island marked on it. He said: “Just stay on the island as a slave and use it as a coolie. There is so much sugar cane on the island that there is a lack of manpower to install it.” Boat.”

“Sugar cane?” Luo Xin’s mouth lingered, and he said, “Is sugar cane grown on Ryukyu Island? This kind of thing is very sweet.”

Lu Fei has never eaten anything like sugar cane .

Confused.

During the years when the Netherlands occupied Ryukyu, they mainly planted sugar cane and rice on the island. Now is the time for the sugar cane harvest, and the most important thing is that the Dutch also established a white sugar workshop on the island.
