After a while, everyone's attention returned to the ship that turned around, and they found that only its mast could be seen, and the deck could not be seen.
Lan Xu and others were shocked.
You must know that the Cangshan ship was also driven by the wind, and it was dropped so far in such a short time.
The speed of this ship was simply unbelievable.
Lan Xu hesitated for a moment, but decided to follow him.
No matter what, his superior's order to explore Shemi Island must be completed.
Otherwise, he would be served with military sticks at the least, or beheaded at the worst.
It all depends on the Shangguan's mood.
After moving forward for a while, more masts appeared in the sky ahead, and the mainmast of one of them was much higher than the masts of other ships.
During the meal, they saw two strange sailing boats that they had just seen sailing towards them with a huge French sailboat sandwiched on either side.
Lan Xu was at war with heaven and man in his heart, and finally decided to continue sailing.
How could he It's the Ming Navy.
The two ships were within a mile of each other, and a low sailing ship began to approach the two Ming ships.
The two ships hurriedly approached.
When Shuangdao approached it to a hundred steps, the incoming ship further narrowed the distance from Shuangdao.
The soldiers of Shuangdao hurriedly alerted, but the pressure of the three incoming ships prevented them from taking action first.
I saw a sailor on the boat starting to shoot arrows.
Two arrows hit the sail of the Shuangdao.
The sailor pulled out the two arrows by holding on to the rope and the hard sail.
Lan Xu saw that there was paper tied to the arrow shaft, and Lan Xu Xu untied it and took a look.
It turned out to be a letter, to the effect of asking the two ships to lead the way.
There were important guests on board to visit General Mao of Pidao.
Lan Xu breathed a sigh of relief at this time.
He finally had an excuse not to go to Shemi Island.
The pressure of the large Western ships that appeared one after another on the opposite side was so overwhelming that he couldn't breathe.
Lan Xu ordered the Shuangdao to turn around and head west, following the three passing ships to sail to Pi Island.
The three ships also deliberately slowed down to wait for the two Cangshan ships.
When the two ships caught up with the three ships, the Ming army soldiers on the two Cangshan ships came to the deck and looked at the three ships curiously.
Especially the huge three-masted French-style ship.
After all, none of them had ever seen a French-style ship so close, and some had never seen it before.
Lan Xu also looked carefully at this huge ship, especially the square things that looked like portholes in the lower half.
His intuition told him that this was a dangerous place.
The five ships sailed for half an hour, and the low sailing ship on the opposite side returned.
It passed by the five ships and moved farther and farther eastward.
The five ships were sailed westward by two Cangshan ships in the front and three Western-style sailing ships in the rear.
When approaching Pidao Pier, a low Western-style sailboat accelerated and approached two Cangshan boats.
After the Shuangdao docked, Lan Xu ordered someone to use a small boat to guide the sailboat to the dock.
After the sailboat docked, a quiet young scholar and several companions disembarked and came to Lan Xu.
"This military master, I have something important to do here to see Marshal Pidao Mao.
I hope that the military master will go and report."
"Sir, I'm just a small prow.
I've never seen Marshal Mao before.
That's why..."
Lan Xu grinned.
Mao Shuai can be seen by just anyone.

"It doesn't matter, the military master just needs to give this letter to Marshal Mao.
I'll just wait here."
The scholar waved his hand, and one of the companions presented a letter.
"This, okay."
Lan Xu nodded, well, this is much easier to handle.
Xin Lanxu still can't hand it over, but he can give it to the Navy Commander and he will forward it.
Lan Xu picked up the letter and walked more than a hundred steps south of the pier to the Navy's official office.
After the battle, the naval commander Mao Youming summoned Lan Xu at the official office.
Of the more than ten ships dispatched today, only the Shuangdao and Miaodao returned first, and the others had not yet returned to their posts.
Mao Youming knew very well that Mao Shuai was very concerned about the situation.
This exploration was so important that since the two ships returned, they immediately summoned the two bows.
When Lan Xu explained the matter in detail, Mao Youming was shocked.
There were four Western-style sailing ships, and from the descriptions of the two bows, it was speculated that there might be other sailing ships.
The key was who they were.
As a naval commander, he knew from I have never heard that there were French ships in the Ming Dynasty.
Things were strange, and Mao Youming did not dare to open the letter.
At this moment, the official cannon sounded, and the soldiers outside hurriedly entered.
"Sir, the alarm is sounding at the dock.
There are foreign ships approaching the port."
Mao Youming hurriedly led the guards and ran out of the official office with the two bows.
He saw from a distance a few miles away from the port.
Two large and small furlong motor sailing boats were approaching the dock.
"Sir, these are the two sailboats."
Lan Xu immediately knelt down.
At this time, the soldiers and sailors who were watching the ship on the pier were hurriedly returning to the team to collect weapons.
After all, no one knew the purpose of the French ship.
At this moment, the two sailboats turned around and started sailing outside the harbor, lowering half of their sails.
They obviously had no intention of docking.
Mao Youming didn't make a fuss.
Even if there were a few more ships, he didn't think the newcomers had the strength to seize the island.
Just kidding, the tens of thousands of military households on Pi Island are not vegetarians.
However, he still called his deputy to warn him about incoming ships, and he immediately led Lan Xu and others to the main town.
"Uh, this."
After Mao Chenglu opened the letter and read it, he couldn't help but be surprised.
When Mao Youming led everyone to the main town house and asked to see Mao Wenlong, Mao Wenlong immediately summoned them.
He knew that there was probably news.
When Mao Youming and Lan Xu reported the matter from beginning to end, Mao Wenlong immediately asked Mao Chenglu to open the letter.
Mao Wenlong saw Mao Chenglu's surprise and took the letter.
There were only six words on it.
"Discuss the heads of five hundred slaves."
Mao Wenlong was shocked for a moment, who could cut off so many heads of Jiannu.
After thinking for a moment, he immediately ordered someone to bring the visitor to the main town hall.
He wanted to summon him in person.
This was indeed a big deal.
You must know that in his early years, he fought against Jiannu, and even beheaded dozens or hundreds of real slaves in one sneak attack.

It’s just that in recent years, the Jiannu have become stronger and stronger, and they have taken strict precautions against the Dongjiang River.
With the fall of Haizhou, Fuzhou, Jinzhou, Zhenjiang and other places, the heads of dozens or hundreds of Jiannu have been captured at one time and have never been seen again.
This is also the case for all previous ascendants.
The most dissatisfied part of the governor of Lai and the cabinet members was that he wasted more than 200,000 taels of silver every year without presenting many heads.
How could the Manchu Dynasty think that Dongjiang was fully fighting against the slaves.
On the other hand, the DPRK made many attempts to impeach Mao Wenlong, mostly accusing him of wasting money and food, relying on soldiers to respect himself, and being suspected of being self-reliant.
If we can get the heads of more than 500 slaves and Wei Zhongxian's help, the pressure on Dongjiang will be greatly reduced.
This is a unique victory in recent years.
With this, we can get more money and food from Denglai. , now only half of Dongjiang’s food and salary are paid every year, which really gives Mao Wenlong a headache.
Mao Youming immediately returned to the dock and knew who was coming.
Then, Mao Youming accompanied the scholar and his four companions to the main town house.
At the gate of the mansion, the soldiers confiscated their weapons and released them.
A group of people came to the lobby and saw a middle-aged military general sitting behind the chief case.
He was neither fat nor thin, and he had an air of dignity.
If he hadn't been wearing a battle robe and changed his attire, he would have been a standard middle-aged scribe.
A tall and strong general stood with a sinister face and looked at everyone with a fierce look.
"After the Ming Dynasty in Lu Song Dynasty, Gu Wuyue is here to pay homage to the Commander-in-Chief."
Gu Wuyue knelt down and bowed in obedience.
"Oh, this..."
Mao Wenlong was stunned.
He had never heard of someone from Ming Dynasty in Luzon.
"Where are you from Ming Dynasty?"
"Shuai Mao, we are from Ming Dynasty in Luzon under the rule of Franji.
Luzon has a city called Manila."
Gu Wuyue replied respectfully.
"Oh," Mao Wenlong knew a little about Franji and Manila.
In order to enhance Dongjiang's combat power and heard about the power of Hongyi cannons, he had also contacted the Franji people to purchase cannons, so he was no stranger to them.
"You are the people who have abandoned their country."
"It's true that our ancestors were massacred by the Franji people during the reign of Emperor Wanli.
Tens of thousands of Ming people died among them.
Corpses were scattered all over the field and blood flowed into rivers.
The Ming people returned to their country for help and were called people who abandoned their country."
Gu Wuyue curled his lips to show his disdain.
"As everyone knows, Luzon has no owner.
If Franji takes it, it will belong to Franji.
If Ming Dynasty occupies it, it will belong to Ming Dynasty.
Our ancestors crossed the sea to go there.
In the past few decades, hundreds of thousands of Ming people have lived here.
And so on.
For decades, the Ming Dynasty dominated Luzon.
Because of this, the Franji people killed the people, and the Ming Dynasty was unable to save them.
However, the ignorant people spoke arrogantly, calling them people who abandoned the country.
This is really making people laugh, and they will laugh at them for thousands of years. " As a disciple of Zhao Lie, he is very aware of the surrounding attitudes towards the Ming Dynasty.
The Japanese, French, and Dutch people are all very aware of the hostility and even massacre towards the Ming Dynasty.
"How dare you talk nonsense?

Someone comes and takes it down."
Mao Chenglu was furious when he saw Gu Wuyue whipping those who Mao Shuai said had abandoned the country.
Mao Wenlong waved his hand, "No need, young man, just talk quickly."
Mao Wenlong felt happy when he heard Gu Wuyue scolding all the ministers in the court.
He has been angry for a long time.
Of course he was happy when someone scolded these people who were eating corpses.
The most important thing is The big deal hasn't been discussed yet, so how can we fall out at this time?
"You're being rude, sir, don't blame me."
Gu Wuyue smiled and saluted respectfully.
"Young people are very energetic," Mao Wenlong nodded in appreciation.
Few people had the courage to talk in front of him.
