Chapter 747:It's Your Business to Fight to the Death

Why did Zhang Bin give Portugal a colony larger than Ceylon on the Maraba coast in vain, and what does it matter if he eats a little ugly?It was a colony bigger than Ceylon!

In fact, it is only one aspect of eating, he is mainly for the overall strategic consideration, his colonial positioning of Daming is not arrogant, if Daming to dominate the world, see the colony will be robbed, there is something good to seize, then the future will face endless war.

The so-called world trend, long-term must coincide, a long time must be divided, the world can not always be in a state of war, can not always be in a state of peace, stop and stop, stop and fight is the norm, the idea of trying to dominate the whole world is absolutely wrong.

Historically, many people have had such ideas, for example, the original across the entire Eurasian Mongolia, they have such an idea, the original Mengyuan is how powerful, what is the result?

Zhang Bin is not a war-mad man, on the contrary, most of the time he prefers to use his brain, since it is impossible to dominate the world, it is necessary to find a way to make Daming pay the least price to get the most benefits.

Therefore, he behaved quite gently and courteously in front of Portugal as an ally, and as long as he was a little arrogant, Ceylon occupied what Portugal dared to say, and the Comanro and Maraba coasts all swallowed up Portugal and dared to say anything, but he did not do so.

Daming needs friends, real friends, strong to terror, but not to deceive, people will want to be friends with you, to show arrogance, people think of it is certainly not to be friends with you, but to bear the burden of humiliation, wait for the opportunity to turn your face!

Even against the anti-Habsburg alliance powers, he did not want to die and live, and even exterminate people, because there is always peace in the world, the people are beaten hard, even in peacetime, people will not be able to interact with you, and then it will not be paid for.

He did not want to be everywhere enemies, so for allies, he chose to be gentle and courteous, as far as possible to make people want to be attached to Da Ming, for the enemy, he chose not to shoot directly, but as far as possible indirectly, to support allies to be hard with others, their own profits to sit in the fishing, so that in peacetime, Daming will be friends all over the world, rather than enemies all over the world.

Like this time, it is good to pick up a colony, if the two pieces are swallowed, it seems too domineering, anyway, all the colonies in Portugal are open to the Ming, occupy and do not occupy, the benefits are actually the same!

Conded did not know that Zhang Bin was playing this abacus, he only when the duke was really polite to them, he thanked them, and Zhang Bin discussed the specific matters of joint troops on the Malabar coast and happily returned to Goa in a light iron-kfla boat, while Zhang Bin stayed in Colombo and began to arrange for the attack on the Comanro coast and the Malabar coast.

The two places in the Netherlands did not have much troops, and they both received a warning from the governor Spex, not to fight with the Daming Empire, and surrender!

Specks also had no choice, for they did not have time to send a fleet to take back the garrison of the two places, and to pick up the garrison at the speed of the two places at the speed of the sailboat, without smooth sailing, back and forth for at least three or four days, if he did, I am afraid he would not have time to run.

Although Zhang Bin knew that the two Dutch garrisons were not much, and after some discussion, he sent Jinjiang Hou Yu Chenglong, with 50 Weiyuan battleships, 50 Zhenyuan cruisers, 100 light iron armored ships and 20,000 Fu Guangjun soldiers to attack the Comanro coast.

Then he sent the Nanyang Hou Zheng Zhilong with 50 Weiyuan battleships, 50 town cruisers, 100 light iron armored ships and 10,000 Fuguang Army soldiers to assist the Portuguese Goa Governor Conde to attack the Maraba coast.

He arranged this for the sake of safety, including Colombo, can maintain an absolute advantage over the main fleet of the Dutch, even if the Dutch receive the news to send the main fleet to a sneak attack, it is also a white cabbage.

However, the possibility of the Dutch sneak attack is not very large, Speces have run to the Maldives, naturally can not receive news in a few days, even if he receives the news is unlikely to lead the main fleet to death.

The operation went quite smoothly, without the support of the fleet, in the face of such a terrible Daming navy and army, the Dutch garrison on the Comanro coast and the Malabar coast did not dare to do it, Yu Chenglong and Zheng Zhilong just led the fleet to rush over, they obediently surrendered!

In this way, Daming easily took the Comanro coast, Portugal also won the Malabar coast, can be described as happy, after five or six days of busy, the two colonies have been firmly in the hands of Daming and Portugal, Guo Huaiyi also led 50 new Weiyuan battleships to Colombo.

Zhang Bin gave a detailed account, so he took the father and son of Zheng Zhilong, with two hundred town-distance cruisers, two hundred Weiyuan battleships, two hundred light iron armored ships and 50,000 Fu Guangjun soldiers to the mainland.

On the contrary, every thousand miles or so he would find a port to stop, and let Schweira and Coquila take his own guard and the representatives of the major merchants to get off the ship to find out the local situation.

For example, the price here, what goods are best selling, which country or which country or which of the great powers' colonies, etc., have made detailed records.

This guy, such a huge fleet, such a terrible strength, can scare the forces of various ports along the way, whether it is Persian, big food, Amish and other indigenous countries, or Britain, France, the Netherlands and other powers are afraid to make any hostile posture, they can only honestly let people write and paint there, do not dare to go up and stir, in the Far East this piece, so many super battleships can indeed walk sideways.

As for the Spanish or Portuguese colonies, it was even more warmly welcomed, and wherever Zhang Bin went, they simply took out the ceremony of receiving the king and tried to show it.

Zhang Bin led the fleet in this way, all the way through the Persian Safi Empire, the big Arabic ministries, through the east coast and west coast of Africa, through the various colonies and trade ports of Spain, Portugal, Britain, France, the Netherlands, slowly to the European continent, where he did not launch any attack, even if it is the Dutch East India Company's stronghold and colony, he just sent people to investigate the situation, there is no intention to open.

Schweil and Coquila did not understand it this way, what does this mean for His Royal Highness the Duke, the Far East to the European anti-Habsburg alliance did not invest much force, the most powerful Dutch East India Company main fleet was forced by him to hide, there are many places as long as he fights a little will surrender, why why not just take these places?

Of course, Zhang Bin will not tell them that it is your business to kill and kill, but I just sit for the benefit of the fisherman!

Most of these places, he will seize, because the big business needs supply points for business, he must open the sea for them, but he does not want to fight now, and he will not necessarily fight, sometimes, the land grab does not have to rely on fighting, not war and the soldiers are the best policy.
