The Chinese ships of the Ming Dynasty were firing their guns, exploding around several merchant ships.
Lotus.
The Lan people were terrified, and finally discovered the fleet of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time, some people appeared with spears in their hands, aiming at the approaching small ships from a distance.
The lieutenant on the middle ship is called He Demiao, and when he saw it, he immediately scolded and said, "Damn, there is still a gun, shoot it for me, tell the one in front, you can shoot, it doesn't matter if he lives or dies!"
” With He Demiao's order, the middle ship turned sideways, and the twenty black hole cannons were aimed at the three merchant ships.
The small ship was nimble and quickly approached the merchant ship, while the musketeers in front took aim, and when it came to the distance, hundreds of guns opened fire at the same time.
Bang bang bang These muskets had no crosshairs, but their scattering was more powerful, and several of them were killed at once.
The red-haired man above waved his arms and lay on the ground, shouting loudly.
The muskets on the merchant ships also opened fire with a bang, but they were not far enough to hit the ships of the Ming Dynasty at all, and they all fell into the water.
Five small ships gathered around, almost five hundred guns, banging and desperately shooting, if it weren't for the fear of blowing up these merchant ships, the explosives would have been thrown on it long ago.
This is a merchant ship, equipped with not many weapons, and in the past these firearms were enough to sweep away others, but now they are swept away.
The vitality was suppressed, and they all hid, and at the same time they didn't know what they were shouting about.
In an instant, hook ropes were thrown up one by one, and the Ming Dynasty soldiers suppressed the fire while boarding the ship.
As soon as these soldiers got on the boat, they raised their guns and shouted: "The Daming Sea ship Jinghai, those who don't want to die kneel to the side!"
” The leader was a relatively short old man with curly hair, looking at the more and more Ming Dynasty soldiers who came up, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he was about to speak when he pointed to one. boom But he didn't have a chance, and a gunshot rang out, and he fell down with his eyes wide open.
Several of them were about to raise their guns to fight back, but they were greeted by a gunshot, smashed into a sieve, and fell to the ground with their eyes wide open.
The others hurriedly threw away their guns, raised their hands, and didn't dare to say a word, just stared at these fierce Ming Dynasty soldiers with wide eyes.
"Phew!
Act recklessly!
One of the soldiers spat and snorted coldly.
There were red-haired people, and everyone else, shivering and hiding in the corner, their eyes full of fear.
"Does anyone speak Chinese?"
Soldiers shouted everywhere with guns in hand.
No one answered, they all looked at them with frightened eyes, their faces full of astonishment, and they didn't dare to come out.
"Captain Wang, they won't treat us as pirates, will they?"
One of the people pondered the taste and looked at the captain who led the army.
Captain Wang was quite calm, and said: "Don't worry about them, all of them are escorted to the deck, look at it, let's escort the ship back, the speed must be fast, and we have to come again!"
” "Okay!"
The soldier was excited.
They had just checked out the things that the merchant ship had delivered, silk, porcelain, silver, gold, agate, pearls, and many other things that they didn't recognize, but they were worth a lot of money at a glance!
If there were eight trips out of ten, then they would be developed!
Less than 100 miles south of He Demiao, a Chinese ship opened heavy fire on five merchant ships, and sank one of them.
Fifty miles north of He Demiao, this Chinese ship intercepted the convoy of envoys from the Japanese State, there were seven ships, and they were made dumplings, all of which were confiscated and escorted back to Mei.
Chau Island.
It was getting dark, but the base was brightly lit and noisy.
The soldiers were unloading from the ship, and then boxes were opened and laid on the concrete floor, and the onlookers were all staring and stunned in surprise.
Rao is Zhu Xu, and he was also a little surprised at this time.
Boxes and boxes of gold, silver, agate, jewelry, other antiques, spices, tea, they didn't care anymore.
Gold, silver, and agate alone, when converted, there are at least two million taels of silver!
Zhu Yujian and Xiong Wencan are also from extraordinary backgrounds, but they have never seen so many real objects, so clearly placed in front of them.
The other deputy commanders-in-chief, the staff generals, were even more amazing, their faces were coveted, and they almost drew their knives to grab them.
A group of people looked at the boxes that kept coming down, and they all unconsciously shook their throats.
Some people know that sea trade is a huge profit, but they didn't expect it to be like this, where is this huge profit, it is clearly robbing the treasury of that small country!
"My lord, let's send troops again, and sweep wherever we can!"
Suddenly, one of the generals spoke loudly, with a trilling voice in his voice.

"Yes, my lord, let's send our people out, otherwise there will definitely be fish that slip through the net!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, send troops, missing one is a huge loss!"
"Your Majesty, the last general asks for his life!"
"Your Majesty, the last general asks for his life!"
"Your Majesty, the last general asks for his life!"
Not long after, a group of deputy commanders and generals all knelt down on one knee towards Zhu Xu, patting their chests and asking for their lives.
'With military spending, morale is ......'
Zhu Xu said secretly in his heart, then turned his back, looked at the group of people who asked for his life, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen the world, and you will know it later, these are just drizzle."
I don't care about the specific affairs of the navy, I will go to your chief soldier.
With that, he turned and left.
Everyone hurriedly said, 'Congratulations to the emperor', and shouted at Xiong Wencan and Zhu Yujian.
Xiong Wencan, Zhu Yujian looked at Zhu Xu's back, and then the two looked at each other, Zhu Yujian muttered: "It's too dangerous to go to sea at night, and merchant ships are generally ...... at night."
"It's not dangerous to the prince, and we're not afraid of ......"
"Lord Wang, these sea ships are transporting goods day and night, and they can't be let go......"
"Yes, my lord, we are short of silver now, what a good opportunity!"
"Lord Wang, if you miss tonight, there will be no play, and they will definitely know the news tomorrow......"
The voices of a group of people are getting louder and louder, one after another, almost covering the entire base.
Zhu Yujian listened and thought about it, although the purpose of these people is not pure, but the words are reasonable, if you miss this tonight, the red-haired people and the Francophone people will know the news, and it will be difficult to do it again.
"What do you see, my lord?"
Zhu Yujian looked at Xiong Wencan.
Xiong Wencan understood what Zhu Yujian meant, thought about it from the bottom of his heart, and said: "Okay, I will also go to sea tonight, you can train first, but the distance should not be too far, you must ensure safety!"
” "Don't worry, sir!"
A group of people spoke in unison, and their voices were frustrated.
Xiong Wencan, Zhu Yujian and others all nodded secretly, the navy needs this momentum!
They were busy arranging, and the whole base was sleepless all night.
Zhu Xu returned to his room, and his heart was also churning.
The profits of Haimao are somewhat more than he expected, and this is only the preliminary stage, with the passage of time, the local slowly developed, the profits will increase several times, dozens of times!
Although Da Ming is heading towards weakness and danger, Zhu Xu still can't help but want to take risks and give it a go!
Zhu Xu sat at the table, looking at the map of the South China Sea, moving little by little, and thinking about it in his heart.
Whether it's a lotus.
Lan people or Spanish people.
Ya, now the strength in the South China Sea is extremely limited, as long as he wins this battle, he can occupy Ma Liu, Jia, as long as the time comes to send heavy troops, all outsiders are blocked out, then no matter how weak the Ming is, there is a relatively stable time period, and can dominate the trade in the Far East, blood transfusion for the Ming Dynasty!
Thinking about it, Zhu Xu's breath gradually became a little short, his chest rose and fell slightly, and his eyes were like electricity.
Cao Huachun didn't know what Zhu Xu was thinking, waited for a while, and stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, John Tang has gone south, and all places have completed the statistics of the people in Xiyi. ” Zhu Xu squinted, didn't care, and asked, "Well, God.
When will that battleship of Jinwei be launched?
Can you sail and fight?
” After the launch of the first large warship, the Imperial Government, the Ministry of Industry and the Heavens.
Jinwei's shipyard is working on the design of the second one, because of experience, and referring to various Western literature, they are ready to design a giant and seventy zhang long warship according to Zhu Xu's requirements!
Now Ou.
The largest warship on the continent is only sixty feet, which is a feat, full of difficulties, and at the same time cautious and exciting.
Cao Huachun thought for a while and said: "It should be able to be launched this year, and the long-distance operation needs to carry out a series of drills and inspections, and it may take another year. ” Zhu Xu patted his hand on the map, and said in a deep voice: "It's too slow, send an order to the Ministry of Industry, to speed up, by March next year at the latest, I want this battleship to be able to sail far, and to ensure that there are no problems in sailing for two consecutive years!"
” Cao Huachun was slightly stunned and said, "Yes, the slave maid is the purpose." ” Zhu Xu nodded slightly, still looking at the map.
Out of Ma Liu.
A, there are very few marks on this map, and further south, there is a blank.
He wants to fill these gaps and plant the banner of the Ming Dynasty!
