For Chen Yourong, this naval battle must be clean and beautiful. Running away an enemy ship is not perfect enough, and it is not enough to repay the emperor's earnest expectations.

Of course, he was right to think so, but he didn't know the emperor's next continuous methods.

The Dutch attacked the Dutch and shocked the Portuguese, and took this opportunity to get back the management rights of Macau Island. The territory of the Ming Dynasty was not allowed to occupy the land.

Doing business is OK; living is not bad. But management must be appointed Ming Dynasty officials, and the fortress must be guards of the Ming army.

This is still the first step, and the second step is to completely take back Macau and set up one or two or three major ports in other places to allow merchants from all countries to live in it.

This big port is tentatively set in Guangzhou first, followed by Shanghai second, which is the emperor's idea.

Of course, it is not allowed to live, but it is not allowed to carry a gun and a knife. If you want to go ashore, you will be disarmed and obey the government of the Ming Dynasty.

To drive Western barbarians out of Asia one by one, it means armed forces, rather than cutting off business transactions. Money still needs to be made, and there must be a large enough market for new commodities.

Portugal has declined, and the Portuguese armed forces in Macau are very pitiful, and there is not even a single warship now.

Therefore, it is not difficult to regain the governance of Macau. However, the emperor did not want to break up with the Portuguese relationship. Because Malacca is still in the hands of the Portuguese.

Although the Portuguese in Malacca did not have much military power, they would probably be defeated by the Dutch soon and lost Malacca.

But the emperor believed that in more than ten years or decades later, in the war between the Dutch and the Portuguese for Malacca, the Ming navy was able to intervene and gain profit.

Compared with Batavia, Luzon, and even more overseas places, Malacca is the place that the emperor cares the most.

Although it has not fully demonstrated its importance yet and is occupied by Portugal, a small decline country, no one knows better the importance of Malacca in the world.

Holding this place, he pinched the throat of the Western Yi entering Asia and opened the door to the world. The name of the Golden Waterway is well-deserved.

The emperor's plan was very far-reaching and patient.

Borneo not only threatened the Dutch's nest, but also occupied the base in Malacca. But the emperor did not urgently send out regular troops, but continued to strengthen the armed forces there through the maritime commerce association.

When a master plays chess, he focuses on the overall situation. The emperor is that master. The chess pieces he set up have profound meanings, and are definitely not as simple as they seem on the surface.

The key is timing and time. Resisting major disasters, expanding the navy and army, familiarizing yourself with sea routes, etc. are all factors that the emperor needs to consider.

And this kick, or the navy's good start, was the emperor's target of the Dutch.

With the help of intelligence, sufficient preparations were made, and a naval battle began.

Chen Yourong's order was issued in separate ways. After receiving the order, the naval fleets that had already been in place set sail from Jinlan Bay, Jinxia and Haikou, heading straight to the estuary of the Pearl River.

In fact, any of the three squadrons has the confidence and hope to win against several Dutch warships.
