Outside Colombo City, Fuguang Army Barracks, Comdede looked at the dense military accounts on both sides and a neat cannon, and his heart was shocked or shocked.

Although he had long heard that the great Ming Empire was extremely powerful, he had not thought that the army of the Daming Empire was so terrible, the Navy did not say for a moment, he had already heard the introduction of Schweera, did not expect this army equipment to be so strong!

At this time, there are no field guns on the continent, the general artillery is not on warships or in the fortress, even if you want to attack the enemy with artillery, or bombard the enemy country's fortress, it is also zero time with a carriage, even with the artillery pedestal are pulled together, like the Ming Empire, the same gun car, he has never seen.

If you encounter this army equipped with this gun truck in the field, who can carry it!

At first, he pretended to be humble only to let the duke of the Daming Empire use his relations to help him bring a little battleship to defend Colombo, and now, after seeing the strong lineup of the army of the Daming Empire, his humility was no longer pretended, but really, so powerful and worthy of his respect for the great Ming Empire.

When the people entered the handsome tent and sat down, Comteder got up and said respectfully, "Your Royal Highness, I have learned of the situation in Ceylon with Schweil, we cannot contend with the Dutch fleet hidden in the nearby waters, and ask His Royal Highness the Duke to help me think of a way to send troops from your country to help us stay in Colombo, thank you very much."

This guy is so direct!

But that’s fine, save it.

Although Zhang Bin was a little proud, on the surface, he pretended to be: "This, the Dutch ran, we are in Malacca and Batavia, there is also danger on the other side, if the public pulls troops over, they run to attack Malacca or Batavia?"

Joking, the Dutch did not take the wrong medicine, Batavia did not say, the defense of the Dutch people there know, they certainly did not dare to take the risk of that strength, Malacca is even more amazing, the steel jungle artillery, the Dutch to die!

Conded believes that the duke is hinting that he wants to give some favor, he did not hesitate to say: "Duke, we also know that your country needs military expenses, otherwise, we have all taken out the proceeds of the cinnamon and other outputs on the side of Ceylon as military expenses, what do you think?"

He meant that all the interests of Ceylon had been given to Zhang Bin, and Schweaver was startled, and what did the count mean, not that it was better to give only half of the proceeds of cinnamon?

Conded's purpose in doing this is of course, in any case, Ceylon's earnings he can't pump much oil and water, most of them still have to turn over, it is better to give the duke his highness, to win his favor, sometimes people also have to properly plan for themselves, and to make such a powerful imperial courtier is much more important to him than the single oil and water of Ceylon.

Zhang Bin was just a twist, did not think of Condede but gave him such a "big gift", Ceylon's cinnamon is indeed very famous, but this hundred or twenty-one year's income he is not much in the eye, if it is for this gain and sell the interests of Ming Ming he will not do, but this was his plan, Ming will not suffer, but also cheap, this benefit, he naturally laughed.

He pretended to hesitate a little, and then nodded slowly: "Okay, then leave 30,000 steps and hundreds of warships, these Gong originally wanted to take the mainland to escort, but if Ceylon is lost, our back road is also in danger of being broken, now can only leave them to the top, the guild as soon as possible to adjust some super battleships to strengthen defense."

Condede said excitedly, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, there is a Ming Empire stationed in Ceylon, we do not have to worry about the Dutch counterattack!"

Zhang Bin smiled in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to be helpless: "Alas, this is also no way, after all, the mainland is thousands of miles away from here, we go to a trip and then come back to not know what the situation is, let the Dutch people take Ceylon back to take back, our return may be in danger."

Condendelian nodded: "Yes, it is the Ducal's consideration of Zhou Xiang."Yes, the presuming question is, is the Da Ming Empire interested in exploring overseas colonies?”

Don't you talk nonsense, don't open up overseas colonies, I'll work hard to help you, boring ah.

Zhang Bin pretended to be curious: "Your excellency, does this mean that there is a colony to pick up?"

Comte dewked, "Of course, the colony has not been picked up, but if the duke's will, some colonies are the same as those that have been picked up."

And in this kind of place, this easy-to-hand colony is not robbed by you?

At this time, Zhang Bin was really curious: "Oh, what did your excellency say?"

Conded hastily explained: "It is so, His Royal Highness, that you did not frighten the Dutch's main fleet into hiding, so that their colonies in the Far East were without protection, and as long as they sent some troops, they could easily be taken away, for example, the Comanro Coast and the Malabar coast on the north side of Ceylon, where the Dutch were stationed at most thousands, and the duke's Highness, as long as we had the intention, we would work together to send troops, very easy to take down.And the Gulf of Dragoa on the coast of Africa, Cape Town, the Gold Coast, etc. His Royal Highness, the Duke and His Royal Highness, anyway, want to lead the army through, in the face of hundreds of super battleships, the Dutch people will certainly not be able to resist, these places are also available for His Royal Highness!"

For the time being, Zhang Bin did not want to go to war with the anti-Habsburg alliance, he did not want to fight the Netherlands too hard, white and cheap English and French, but this peninsula in northern Ceylon is not white, anyway, the Dutch in the Far East certainly can not stay, this colony rather than leave others, it is better to take it!

At this moment, he got up from the box by the side to pull out a map near Ceylon, spread it on the handsome case, and then beckoned: "Your excellency, please see what you mean on the Comanro coast and the Maraba coast?"

Conde said, he got up and went to Zhang Bin, pointing to the two major coasts of the peninsula north of Ceylon: "This is the Comanro coast, here is the Malabar coast, the Dutch have been wildly expanding their colony near Ceylon since they were driven out of Batavia, and for nearly two years the natives of these two places have been subdued by them."

The trough, which is comparable to the two colonies of Ceylon, of which the Malabar coast is even larger than that of Ceylon, and the two colonies so large, they will naturally take it down.

However, Zhang Bin did not want to swallow a domineering, white pick up a colony is enough, if the two pieces are swallowed, the eating phase is a little ugly.

He thought for a moment and pointed to the Malabar coast and said, "If not, this Coroman coast we have sent troops alone, it is our Ming, this Malabar coast can send troops to help you take it down, it belongs to you Portugal, what do you think?" 」

Conded originally meant this, he thought he would still scrap the tongue, and even give up some of the benefits to get the Maraba coast, did not expect that the Grand Highness of the Patriotic Land was so handsome that he waved his hand to the Malabar coast directly to them!

He said, “Well, well, thank you, Your Royal Highness.”
