The back door of my house can last until the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 286

It is also true, if there are not so many crises, how can it be possible to obtain huge profits?
Back then, their empire was just a small country, but now it has become a very large empire in the West.

There are endless risks in it, and if you want to get the most profit, you must take risks.

When Jesry thought that if he could really find out the situation in Tianjin, he would get huge benefits, he felt as if he had entered some kind of magic barrier.

He immediately asked the sailors to speed up in the direction of Tianjin.

He has a very good identity, that is a merchant marine.

He was a businessman, and he believed that no matter how cruel Sun Jie was, he would not be able to attack merchant ships, nor would he be able to attack merchants like him.

What is a merchant?A businessman is wealth, at least in the West.

Where there are businessmen, it means that there is a lot of wealth here.

Going to Tianjin by myself, to a certain extent, brought great wealth to Tianjin.

He believes that no one in this world can resist this temptation, and he also firmly believes that he can reach Tianjin safely.

However, he ignored one of the most critical elements, that is Zheng Zhilong.

Now Zheng Zhilong is training the navy in Tianjin. Others don't know his details, but his old opponent Zheng Zhilong knows it all.

In this way, he continued to head towards Tianjin with confidence. After a few days of sailing, his ship appeared on the sea outside Tianjin.

As soon as he appeared, he was spotted by the Chang'an patrolling here.

It is said to be patrolling, but it is actually routine training. Zheng Zhilong is on the deck. He is now completely familiar with the performance and combat methods of this giant steel ship, so he has also formulated suitable training plans for Chang'an and Fuping. naval battle plan.

In order to be able to go to Japan and North Korea and win battles at the same time, he spent almost all his board and lodging on board during the recent period, and never left. It was for this reason that he watched the war immediately Arrived at Hongyi's merchant ship.

On the deck, he held up the binoculars and looked at the Hongyi merchant ship that appeared in his field of vision, his face suddenly collapsed.

He doesn't have a good attitude towards Hongyi, nor does he have any good ideas. This is his old opponent. He knows the character of the Hongyi people well, and he also knows that this group of people is a gang of robbers. They will join in wherever there is profit. Where to go, it's like a fly smelling shit.

In addition, when he sent troops before, the Hongyi people also sent ships to follow him. This feeling made Zheng Zhilong extremely unhappy. In addition to the various hatreds before, the hatred has continued until now.

"On the surface, it looks like this is Hongyi's merchant ship, but in fact he must be Hongyi's spy.

When I dealt with them back then, they used this method to deceive me, but I didn't expect to use it here this time.

It is estimated that Hong Yi did not know that I was still alive, or they thought that I must be tied up by His Majesty and imprisoned in a certain prison.

If they knew that I was now entrusted with an important task by His Majesty, they would definitely not send such a merchant ship so rashly.

What a bunch of goddamn things, and since you're here, I'm going to let you enjoy yourself. "

Zheng Zhilong gritted his teeth and said, wishing he could pass by now and tear this merchant ship to pieces.

After thinking for a while, he let the Chang'an speed up and headed forward.

Jesry, who was standing on the bow of the ship, was obviously taken aback when he saw the giant steel ship appearing on the sea.

He kept rubbing his eyes to make sure what he saw was real.

After a long time, he put down his hands and muttered to himself with a sluggish expression.

"Is this a steel battleship? How can there be a steel battleship? How does steel float on the sea?

Why does this steel warship have no sails, and what kind of power does it rely on?The speed is so fast. "

For a while, countless questions popped up in his mind.

After running around on the sea for so long, he also knows the functions of various parts of the ship.

In his memory, no matter what kind of ship it is, whether it is a warship or a fishing boat, it is usually powered by sails and may have rowing oars, but when sailing on the sea, rowing oars is not necessary.

But the huge steel ship in front of him didn't have any sails on it, and there wasn't even a row of oars.

Then the power problem of this ship made him have a great doubt.

In addition to doubts, shock crawled all over his face.

Steel often symbolizes the strength of a country, and he is well aware of this.

In the Western world, the more steel produced, the more weapons produced, and the more weapons produced, the stronger the strength.

If the giant steel ship in front of me were placed in the west and turned into iron or weapons, it might be able to arm an army.

Not to mention the difficulty of building such a huge steel ship. If nothing else, judging from the sailing battleships that are common on the sea in this era, the countries that can seriously and completely independently build sailing battleships are the only countries in the entire West. Then a few.

It is precisely because of the large number of sailing battleships that the country he is in can always dominate the ocean, and it is also known as the sea coachman.

The construction of sailing battleships is also very difficult. Over the years, they have spent a lot of effort to maintain the number of sailing battleships.

Although Jessry has not seen the construction process of the sailing battleship with his own eyes, he also knows a thing or two.

The giant steel ship in front of him was beyond his imagination, and he had no idea how such a steel battleship was built.

Looking at the steel warship that was getting closer and closer to him, he was amazed again and again, screaming one after another.

Most of the sailors on the ship also looked like this. When they saw the giant steel ship attacking them, their faces were full of panic, for fear that the giant steel ship would smash the ship they were in to pieces.

Don't think about it, if this kind of steel giant touches a little, their ships will fall apart.

The giant steel ship was getting closer and closer to them, and they finally saw the whole picture of the giant steel ship clearly, and they also deeply felt the hugeness of the giant steel ship.

Compared with the giant steel ship, their merchant ship is like a three-year-old child compared to a strong man.

Standing on the bow, Jesry's legs kept trembling, and under the enormous coercion, he was so frightened that he stuttered and couldn't speak.

Not long after, several ladders were thrown from the steel giant ship.

Several soldiers with live ammunition came down the ladder and landed on his deck.

The soldiers held 98Ks and pointed at Jessry and the sailors behind him.

Jessry had never seen the guns in the hands of these soldiers, but he could guess that they were all guns from the shape.

So, he raised his hands very cooperatively, and quickly shouted in Chinese: "I surrender, I surrender, we are just businessmen, we are only here to do business, we have no other ideas."

These soldiers didn't care about what he said, and took them to this giant steel ship with a tough attitude.

Zheng Zhilong looked at Jesry who climbed up the hanging ladder, and recognized him at a glance.

He said to Jesry with a sneer on his face, "Jesry, I didn't expect it to be you."

After Jesry saw Zheng Zhilong, his face was full of panic.

He never expected that Zheng Zhilong was still alive.

The news circulating in the market now said that Zheng Zhilong was sentenced to a heavy sentence by Sun Jie and had even been brought back to Chang'an, but he did not expect to meet him at this moment.

The reason why this kind of news spread in the market is because Sun Jie usually treated the gentry and those wealthy businessmen with a very hot attitude, almost cutting the weeds and eradicating the roots.

So after they knew that Zheng Zhilong had surrendered to Sun Jie, they put themselves in their shoes and thought that it was impossible for Sun Jie to treat Zheng Zhilong kindly. In addition, those ambitious people in the south must ensure that Zheng Zhilong was severely punished by Sun Jie, because this meant that Zheng Zhilong would not Will come back, because in this way they can more boldly and safely gather Zheng Zhilong's remnant forces and occupy those power vacuums.

Jesry certainly didn't know the truth, so he thought Zheng Zhilong was being severely punished by Sun Jie now.

Zheng Zhilong looked at the panic on Jesry's face and smiled with satisfaction.

He knew Jessry's true identity because he had suffered a loss in Jessry's hands before.

"Why are you still alive? Aren't you dead? What's going on? Why are you still alive?!" Jesry shouted in panic.

"Why am I still alive? Why can't I live? You can live, why can't I?!" Zheng Zhilong said sarcastically.

"Okay, let him go, take him back to the port, interrogate him strictly, and find out why he came!" Zheng Zhilong pointed to Jesry.

"By the way, let him witness that his merchant ship will end!" Zheng Zhilong suddenly pointed to the merchant ship ahead.

Zheng Zhilong's meaning is very obvious, that is to use the artillery on the ship to bombard Jesry's merchant ship, so as to deter Jesry.

The sailors on the ship understood and began to adjust their positions, and the main gun in front of the deck also began to aim.

The Chang'an came to a place about one mile behind the merchant ship. Now, the sea is calm and the distance is very close. It is not difficult to hit the merchant ship.

Jessry was escorted and controlled by the soldiers to the front of the deck of the Chang'an, allowing him to witness the fate of his merchant ship with his own eyes.

Following Zheng Zhilong's order, the main gun roared.

The shell burst out and accurately landed on the merchant ship in the sea ahead.

The explosion rose, and a huge hole was blown out at the waterline of the merchant ship, and sea water kept pouring into it.

The merchant ship tilted in an instant, and under Jesry's gaze, the merchant ship finally sank to the bottom of the sea.

This visual impact is more shocking than any words.

"What, what's going on here?!" Jesry stammered, his eyes staring like brass bells.

I thought that this kind of steel giant ship was outrageous enough, but I didn't expect there to be something even more outrageous.

He sank his own merchant ship with one shot, is there such a thing in this world?
Sink a merchant ship with one shot, but when facing a sailing battleship, can it also be sunk with a few shots?
If this is the case, is the sailing battleship still an opponent on the sea?At that time, will their power still be able to maintain the interests of living in the east?

If you can't maintain the profit of living here, you will die if you go back.

The West is eyeing the profits here. If its own country suffers losses here, can the West forgive it?

This is impossible.

"You, you, what kind of weapon are you, why is it so powerful? So terrifying?!"

Jesry's heart was full of fear.

"What weapon? Of course it is a powerful weapon. What do you think of this weapon? Can it defeat you?" Zheng Zhilong sneered.

To be honest, Zheng Zhilong has never been so confident.

Back then when his strength hadn't been damaged, even though Zheng Zhilong was very powerful, he was still afraid of Hongyi.

But now, even though there are only these two warships, he is very confident.

"Do you believe it? The former forces on the sea will all perish, and His Majesty the Great Emperor will rise completely!"

Zheng Zhilong suddenly looked in the direction of Chang'an, his eyes were full of fire.

His admiration for Sun Jie has reached an extremely fanatical level.

If he had never fought against Sun Jie, if he had never seen these two steel warships, then he would never have any respect for Sun Jie, because in his opinion, only the strong deserve to be respected, while the weak only deserves respect. The portion that was stepped into the mud.

Sun Jie defeated him with his serious strength, and after he surrendered, Sun Jie's attitude towards him, as well as those theories he had never heard of, made him have a deep feeling for Sun Jie. Respect psychology, but also impressed by Sun Jie's strong personal charm.

In his opinion, Sun Jie's unification of the ocean is not a dream, but something that can be realized seriously. Among other things, these two steel warships alone can sweep the sea.

Jesry in front of him didn't know why Zheng Zhilong became so fanatical, and he also stared blankly in the direction of Chang'an, feeling flustered.

If it is really what Zheng Zhilong said, isn't it saying that their profits in Asia will be completely robbed by Sun Jie.

That would be a terrible nightmare.

"No, no, no, what you said is not true, I don't believe he can have such a powerful force, just two steel warships!" Jesry yelled and denied it repeatedly.

Zheng Zhilong was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he asked his subordinates to take him down directly.

At the same time, he ordered the ship to head towards Tianjin Port, and after it docked, he hurriedly sent someone to upload the things he had encountered to Sun Jie.

After several transfers, the high-power radio waves reached Chang'an.

Sun Jie was not very surprised when he received Zheng Zhilong's news.

He knew that Hongyi couldn't sit still, this group of people had been coveting Zheng Zhilong's interests for a long time, now they finally had an opportunity, how could they give up?
