Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 722 Is this true?

"This ship should be a ship from the Ming Dynasty. It seems that there are no ships of theirs around. Let's get that merchant ship and see if we can get some information out of it."

The captain of the sailing battleship held up a single-pass binoculars, looked at Lin Haitong's lucky boat, and said.

This sailing battleship was sent by the Hongyi East India Company to investigate the situation around Java. The Java fleet is resting and changing defenses today, so the number of ships cruising on the sea is somewhat small.

In this way, the sailing battleship took the opportunity to sneak in to see if it could get some information.

The captain of the sailing battleship had a big beard on his face. He held up a single-pass binoculars and looked at the Fuchuan in the distance, his face was full of ferocity. "Damn Mingren, hateful Mingren, if it weren't for Mingren, how could we have become what we are now?"

The captain had just been transferred from China, so he didn't know much about the current situation in Daming, and he didn't know much about the current situation.

He only knew that the fleet that defeated them came from Daming, but he didn't know that it was Zhao Wen who attacked them, nor did he know the real situation in Daming.

The first officer of the ship stood behind the captain and explained: "It's not a Ming man, but a man named Zhao Wen. According to the Frangji man stationed in Luzon, this Zhao Wen seems to have rebelled. Attack our fleet It was this Zhao Wen who was sent out, and I heard that before that, this Zhao Wen was just a general of the Ming Kingdom."

The chief mate is a member of the East India Company who stayed behind in India, so he has a better understanding of these situations.

"Hehe, a general from the Ming Dynasty? A general from the Ming Dynasty beat us up like this? The headquarters of the East India Company has been lost. It's really shameful, shameful." The captain didn't think so, and sneered.

"Okay, let everyone get ready and get ready to take down that merchant ship!" The captain turned his head, looked at the first mate, and shouted loudly.

The speed of the sailing battleship gradually increased, heading in the direction of Fuchuan.

At this time, Lin Haitong didn't know that the target of the sailing battleship was him, and he still quietly looked at the "Heavenly Creation" in his hand.

The distance between the sailing battleship and the Fuchuan continued to shrink, and within a short time, the sailing battleship was less than 200 meters away from the Fuchuan.

The speed of the sailing battleship slowed down, quietly approaching the Fuchuan.

A sailor on the blessing boat was lying on the side of the ship, looking at the sea quietly.

He looked at the sailing battleship coming towards Fuchuan, and he didn't find it strange.

After all, this situation often happened in the past.However, that was limited to the Javanese navy.

The sailors on the lucky boat thought that the sailing battleship was the Javanese navy, so they didn't pay much attention.

The captain of the sailing battleship stood on the deck, quietly watching the Fuchuan getting closer and closer, his face full of ferocity.

"Hehe, you lowly intelligent people. You lowly intelligent people should die, you should die!" The captain kept screaming in a low voice.

In the eyes of the captain and others, these Westerners are the most noble people in this world, and these Westerners are the most powerful people in this world.

As for the people in other places, to them, they are just some slaves.

As the distance got closer, the sailors on the Fuchuan could finally see the faces of the people on the sailing battleship clearly.

"It's Hongyi, it's Hongyi, it's Hongyi!" The sailor lying on the side of the ship finally saw the appearance of the people on the sailing battleship.

He hastily shouted loudly towards the back.

However, the sailors on board did not believe it.

As Hongyi retreated to India, they couldn't see anything about Hongyi at all. They hadn't seen Hongyi for a long time, so they were a little uncomfortable with the voice of the sailor lying on the side of the ship. I believed it too much, and thought the sailor was just joking.

"How could there be Hongyi? What are you thinking? Now that the sea is full of Javanese sailors, how can Hongyi dare to appear on the sea? Could it be that you misread it? How could Hongyi come out?" ?" A sailor looked at the sailor lying on the side of the ship with a look of disbelief.

"I didn't lie to you, it's really Hongyi, it's really Hongyi!" The sailor lying on the side of the ship directly approached the sailing battleship which was getting closer and closer to them, shouting loudly.

The sailors on the Fuchuan still didn't believe it, but they also looked in the direction of the sailor's finger.

The sailing battleship was getting closer and closer to them, and when there was less than 50 meters left, the sailors on the Fuchuan finally believed the words of the sailor lying on the side of the ship.

"Red hair, these people are really Hongyi, and this is really Hongyi's sailing battleship!" A sailor stood up from the ground with a panicked expression.

Lin Haitong, the captain of the ship, hurriedly stuffed the "Heavenly Creation" into his arms and came to the deck.

"This is Hongyi, this is Hongyi, run quickly." The boss of the ship shouted at the top of his voice when he saw clearly the people on the sailing battleship.

However, with only such a short distance, how could Fu Chuan escape?

The captain of the sailing battleship looked at the Fuchuan not far away from him, and said coldly: "Don't fire, this is the territory of those smart people, if we fire the guns and attract those smart people, we might not be able to get out. Then get closer, prepare to jump into a gang fight, and strive to capture this ship intact."

Following the captain's order, all the sailors on the sailing battleship took their positions and made final preparations.

The sailors on the Fuchuan were constantly busy, and they wanted to escape in the shortest possible time.

However, under the strong inertia, their ships turned very slowly.

Not long after, the sailing battleship came to the side of Fuchuan.

The crew on the sailing battleship threw the hook locks they had prepared in their hands onto the blessing boat.

The sailing battleship kept approaching Fu Chuan, and it didn't take long for the sailing battleship to come to Fu Chuan's side.

The sailors on the Fuchuan watched the sailing battleship getting closer and stayed in place for a while.

They were just sailors who had never fought and never experienced such a thing.It is impossible not to be nervous and afraid when encountering such a thing so suddenly.

Lin Haitong was the first to react. He rushed into the cabin and rushed out with a machete.

Because the route to Java is very safe now, and this kind of thing almost never happened today, so there are no weapons on the Fuchuan, only some scimitars.

"What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and copy the guy!" Lin Haitong came to the bow of the ship with a scimitar in his hand, and shouted at the dazed sailors on board.

After Lin Haitong finished speaking, he waved the scimitar in his hand and chopped at the hooks and locks nailed to the ship's side.

There was a crackling sound, and these hooks were locked under Lin Haitong's chopping, intact.

Although the outside of these hook locks is very ordinary hemp rope, but the inside is wrapped with iron wire and cowhide, so the hook locks are extremely tough, and it is difficult for ordinary knives to cut these hook locks.

The sailors on the blessing boat also reacted, rushed back into the cabin, and rushed out with some scimitars.

These scimitars were bought by Lin Haitong a long time ago. When he bought them, Lin Haitong was for self-protection.However, these scimitars have not been used since they were bought, until now.

The captain of the sailing battleship looked at the sailors who were chopping the hooks and smiled sarcastically.

"Hehe, how stupid, these yellow-skinned monkeys are really stupid, stupid yellow-skinned monkeys." The captain said a few words sarcastically, then turned around, and shouted at the soldiers who were ready behind him: "Everyone, do it!" Get ready, let's jump gang battle immediately!"

"Crench!"

Amidst the sound of wood rubbing against each other, the sailing battleship and Fuchuan finally came together.

In order to be able to carry more cargo, Fuchuan has a relatively large hull and a relatively high side.

In order to pursue speed, this sailing battleship has a relatively small hull.

The ladder was thrown onto the side of the Fuchuan by the soldiers on the sailing battleship.

The iron hook in front of the ladder was hooked on the side of the ship, and the soldiers on the sail battleship filed up and climbed up the blessing boat along the ladder.

As the first soldiers climbed onto the fuchuan, the melee began.

When the sailors on the Fuchuan attacked the soldiers who climbed up, the whole Fuchuan fell into panic.

Almost all sailors attacked these soldiers.

However, these sailors on the Fuchuan are just sailors, they have not experienced professional training, they are not the opponents of these Hongyi at all, and they were defeated in a short time.

When the sun began to slant, the captain of the sailing battleship stood on the deck of the Fuchuan.

A faint smell of blood wafted over the blessing boat, and several corpses lay across the deck.

As for the sailors who survived, they were tied up by the soldiers on the sailing battleship and pressed on the deck.

Lin Haitong survived, and now there is a bloodstain on his face, and his face is full of ashes.He was held down by two Hongyi soldiers and knelt in front of the captain of the sailing battleship.

The captain of the sailing battleship looked at the Fuchuan in front of him and said, "Search, let's see what is on this merchant ship!"

The soldiers rushed into the Fuchuan's cabin and began to rummage through the boxes.

About two quarters of an hour later, a dozen or so soldiers ran out carrying some goods on the Fuchuan.

These soldiers brought these things to the captain, and one of the soldiers came out, opened the box containing soap and cotton cloth, pointed to the things inside, and said to the captain: "Captain, look what these are." thing?"

The captain walked up to the box, rummaged through it for a while, and said, "It's all daily-use goods, nothing unusual."

The captain shook his head, then straightened up.

At this moment, a soldier came out of the cabin where Lin Haitong was sleeping.

In his hand, he held two booklets, which were the second volume of "Heavenly Creation" purchased by Lin Haitong.

"Captain, what do you think these are?" The soldier holding the second volume of "Heavenly Created Things" walked up to the captain and handed the booklet to the captain.

The captain took the booklet and flipped through it.

However, the captain didn't know Chinese characters. After reading it for a long time, he didn't know what was written on it.

Although there are illustrations on it, there is no text introduction, and it is difficult for the captain to understand what these pictures are.

"Look what these things are!" The captain handed the booklet in his hand to the first mate.

The chief mate had been staying in India before, and stayed in Zeelandia for a while a long time ago, so he can speak Chinese and recognize some Chinese characters.

The first mate flipped through "Heavenly Craftsmanship", and the more he looked at it, the weirder his expression became.In the end, the face was full of fear.

Although there are some characters in "Heavenly Creation" that the first officer doesn't know, but with the pictures on it, the first officer can guess it.

"Impossible, impossible, this can't be true, this can't be true. How could there be such a magical thing in this world, how could there be such an artifact in this world?
How could there be such a means of transportation, how could it be possible to run so fast, and how could it be possible to pull so many people? The first mate pointed to the contents of "Heavenly Creation", with a look of panic.

Lin Haitong, who was kneeling next to the captain, spit out a mouthful of blood, raised his head, looked at the screaming first officer, and cursed: "Hong Yi, I'll wait for the barbarian Qi to know? You are just some rats , how do you know that I am powerful? I advise you to let me go quickly, otherwise, once the imperial army arrives, you will be wiped out in an instant!"

The first officer looked at Lin Haitong, and a fierce look suddenly appeared on his face.

"Tell me, is the content on it true? Is the content on it true?" The first officer squatted in front of Lin Haitong and asked angrily.

From the mate's point of view, the country was nothing more than a rotten dying country, and there could be no such things.

The point is that the things recorded in "Tiangong Kaiwu" are so unbelievable to the first mate that he can't believe it.

The captain stared blankly at the first officer who looked like this, not knowing what happened.

"Wales, what happened? What did you see?" the captain looked at the first mate and asked hastily.

Wells replied: "Dreklon, this matter is very important, don't ask me first."

After Wells finished speaking, he then pressed Lin Haitong in Chinese, "Tell me, is the above content true?"

"Hahaha!" Lin Haitong laughed loudly, "Of course it's true, of course the content above is true. You barbarians, how do you know the majesty and power of the Heavenly Kingdom?"

If it were an ordinary person, I'm afraid I would have been trembling and didn't know what to do.

However, Lin Haitong is not an ordinary person.Before Zhao Wen established the Maritime Association, Lin Haitong had already started doing business at sea.

At that time, almost no one who dared to do business at sea was timid.

Although Lin Haitong's luck is bad, he has been in business for more than ten years, and only has this lucky boat in his hand, but he is not small in courage.
