Actually, Yang Ce made a mistake, but he wasn't blamed.

Even Chen Mu could not clearly know how many neighboring countries the Ming Dynasty had.

The most terrifying fact in this world is that the countries they can call famous now are basically neighboring countries with the Ming Dynasty.

The Kingdom of Sanghai on the coast of West Africa is a maritime neighboring country next to the Eastern Military Palace. By the same token, there are Spain, France, and Morocco.

The United Kingdom of Ayran, the Netherlands, and Denor must be considered a maritime neighbor of London.

Ottomans and Safipos are both Western military palaces.

They are unprecedentedly close to any corner of the world.

Nowadays, I want to find a country that is not a neighbor of the Ming Dynasty, but it is more difficult than a neighboring country.

However, Yang Ce's life was not so easy, and his troubles came soon.

Yang Ce's fleet was still repairing it in the port shipyard, and the soldiers of various units were idle in the tension of the enemy's territory. Parma, the little brother of the Spanish Flanders Legion, and Alessandro Farnese, sent an envoy to come to visit him.

The messenger was very young, named Dias, and was from the Iberian Peninsula. His ancestors were of Moorish descent.

He was stationed in Seville in his early years and later became the border guards of Seville and the Ming Port. He was the first batch of officers promoted from civilians after Spain started learning from the Ming Dynasty. Now he was transferred to the Flanders Legion as the captain of the phalanx company.

Usually, this kind of envoy task will be chosen as an officer of aristocratic origin, but Parma Xiao is familiar with the Korean officer under Chen Jiujing and the guerrilla general Huang Xi of Baishan Camp, and knows the ways of the Ming people.

They would rather have a soldier who was not a noble but could speak Chinese than a Spanish general who could speak inconveniently.

Moreover, because most generals of the Ming Dynasty did not raise a group of translation talents like the Europa nobles, sending a general who was incomprehensible to speak could not provide any convenience for the discussion.

Therefore, as soon as Palmatian received someone capturing The Hague in the northeast, he sent his light cavalry to investigate. From a distance from the coast of the town, he felt relieved.

Send company captain Dias.

In fact, if we really want to say, the Spanish were afraid that they were more serious than the Dutch troops' attacks on the Ming Dynasty's Eastern Military Office or the Han troops - they were not afraid of the Dutch attacks again and again.

According to the Spanish tradition, each phalanx legion was named after the commander, and the companies under the phalanx legion were also named after the commander. Only the small company with 300 Dias was not called Dias Company, but Mingguo Equipment Company.

This company was formerly called Garcia Company. The company commander was a small noble who had participated in the battles in the New World. He died in the Battle of the Netherlands and was replaced by Dias.

Even if the army landed in The Hague was not here to help Spain, at least they would not hit people when they saw this military uniform.

The cotton armor on the orange bottom and red edges were really conspicuous. Diaz, who had an iron hat helmet on his head, was stopped by the pirates set up in the forest at the end of the dirt road.

The pirates under Yang Ce's command were still bad in military uniforms. Although nearly half of the soldiers were not from the Ming Dynasty, they were all highly influenced by Greater China's thoughts, and no one could accept the strange aesthetics of the Euroi.

This means that even if they get clothes, except for shirts that are very similar to mid-lane, they still wear their pants and shoes that have been drifting at sea for a long time.

It is a trouble to wear shoes when they get ashore. Most of the nobles living in The Hague cannot accept the small shoes of the nobles. Only a few people have changed their boots, which makes their appearance look a bit vulnerable.

But Dias dared not despise these pirates who were defending the woods next to the road. Even if they were not covered with armor, the heavy combs set up next to the trunk could make no one in this era dare to act rashly.

What's more than ten heavy convex guns were aimed at him, and even if the manipulator behind these weapons was a ten-year-old child, he would not dare to move.

This is probably the most terrifying change that gunpowder has brought to the world.

A child, or even a little girl, could not swing a big sword, could not mount a spear, could not pull a long bow, could not activate a steel crossbow, or even could not wear heavy armor to charge on the horse.

Just give her a heavy convex gun and a small hand to kill her fully armed heavy armored knight.

Especially the Han people were carrying these heavy grenade guns.

After the Spaniards gave up the New World, it was no longer Chen Mu who dealt with them, but Li Dan from Daming Port.

He was a better person than Chen Mu. In the past few years, although people still felt unreasonable fear of the Ming people, the hostility between the two sides was much less.

The most scary thing is the Han Dynasty.

People never know what these pirates are thinking. They still have a good relationship with you today and turn the bow of the ship and fire at your town tomorrow.

Especially for Dias, he knew the Chinese flags that these pirates laid down by the road.

What made him feel at ease was that when he was expressed, the pirates did not have any trouble for him. Someone took him to the city of The Hague, and then walked to the south of the city, almost circling the Hague. The final destination was the Earl Castle, eight miles away from the sea outside the city.

"Ah, this is the castle of the Dutch Earl!"

Since Rotterdam in the south had not been captured, Parma's legions had been fighting in the Principality of Brabant in the south of the Delta. This was the first time Dias entered the Hague and saw the political center of the Netherlands. This castle was built by the 13th century Dutch Count, the German King, and the Holy Roman Crown Prince William II.

After that, it became the administrative center of the Netherlands.

The pirates leading the way placed his men outside the castle and took him through the castle until they entered a small living room.

What awaited him was a strong, nearly 40-year-old general. He wore red robes like those Ming generals Dias had seen, and the fabric had unique patterns.

But outside the red robe, they are not like the generals who don’t usually participate in battle in the Ming Port, which reveals the reflective armor and the shiny breastplate, but are wearing chain mail like the Ming mid-lane and armor skirt.

Just install large steel sheets on his chest and shoulders, and add protection without affecting his movements.

The leather gear on his body was not as regular as the Ming military officer. The two pairs of leather gun sconds on his waist only exposed one ivory carved gun handle, and the other was placed on the table, pressing under his hands, pointing at Dias faintly.

His skin was dark and serious, with scars on his face that were not like battles, and his cheeks drooped slightly, making the corners of his mouth look less happy.
