"Your Highness, they are here!"

On an unnamed island outside Baros, Qi Yuan rushed out of a cave, and shouted loudly to Zhu Zhangui, who was walking on the beach with his concubine Xu Ruoying, waving the telegram in his hand.

Zhu Zhangui, who was walking on the beach with his arms around the willow waist of the beautiful woman, waited for Qi Yuan to arrive, took the telegram in the other party's hand, read it with a big smile and said: "After waiting for so long, these guys finally came back, let me know Guys, hang the flag and start work!"

It is now the beginning of June in the third year of Hongxi, and two months have passed since the Gulf of Aden Fair on April 4st.

This exhibition has completely spread Daming's prestige in the west, and let the western countries know that the legendary oriental golden country is called Daming, where not only is there a lot of gold, but also powerful weapons that can kill people.

How much did Daming sell in this fair?How much did you earn?no one knows.

They only know that many national forces have bought their favorite weapons and firearms.

After getting powerful weapons, every faction is very excited and their spirits are extremely excited. They always think that after the weapons are equipped with the army, they will find some weaker countries around them to practice their hands.

It's like some ordinary players who save hundreds of dollars on food and expenses, and get the equipment eliminated by the big boss from the hands of the big boss.With confidence inflated, I want to PK other civilian players and experience the feeling of being a boss.

The forces that buy firearms have this kind of mentality. Of course, it is more likely that they want to eliminate some forces and subsidize their own money to buy firearms.

Morale was available, the captain waved the knight sword in his hand, and loudly issued combat orders.

It's not that this guy doesn't have the backbone of a soldier, so he doesn't dare to have a vigorous battle with the pirates.

"Understood, pack up. Let's go to Ceuta to open another field at night. After harvesting the crops, we will go straight to Lisbon, the capital of the grape country."

"Wow, wow, puff, puff..."

"Notice, remember to catch a few alive, the dead souls of our brothers are still wailing at the Lisbon docks, we have to bring a few over there, and warn their souls that we are back!"

"It's such a big fleet. It's worthy of being the Minister of State that His Majesty the King likes. This ostentation is really beyond the reach of ordinary people."

The two ships were close to each other, and the soldiers of the Ming army, dressed in all kinds of clothes but wearing a uniform half body armor, roared and jumped onto the opposite ship, and began a frenzied slaughter.

"Hahaha... here they come, they come, they come to revenge on us."

The purpose of Zheng He and those soldiers is to use money to motivate the soldiers of Ming Dynasty to kill more white-skinned pigs and pay homage to those brothers who died in foreign countries.

"It's Daming, it's from Daming. I've seen these boats before. They belong to Daming."

The time slowly reached 11:30, and the three ships had reached the distance visible to the naked eye. On the calm sea, there was a sense of chilling slowly.

The Portuguese fleet was completely powerless to resist.

"boom!"

On the Ceuta pier, the Governor, who had been waiting for a day, frowned as he watched the sunset that was about to fall into the sea.

In order to get the equipment they wanted and to occupy more territories, the representatives of various countries rushed home to raise money with the accompanying soldiers arranged by Daming after the deal was finalized that day.

"The last time he passed by here, although he didn't stop, he sent someone to pass a letter saying that he was in a hurry, and he would come over and have a friendly exchange with me when he came back, so he... ..."

After a burst of gunfire, no one stood up on the opposite deck.

"There's a ship coming, it's a big ship, very powerful!"

The minister of state affairs, who was already thinking about his own thoughts, was disturbed by the ringing of the bell, and shouted furiously.

"There are pirates, there are pirates!"

Some have bought weapons and equipment, and some have not.

When the fleet under the setting sun came into everyone's eyes, the densely packed crowd on the pier let out a cry of surprise, lamenting the power and might of the Portuguese country.

It can be seen from this that [-]% of the first round of shooting hits, one can imagine how terrifying its accuracy is.

When the artillery shells of the Ming army roared and flew over, the observers and the captain shouted desperately, and the crew and sailors who were manipulating the ship or preparing for battle found a safe place to hide at the first time.

"Ready to board the ship, remember my words, I want some live!"

"Children, fight, fight to the death in order to return alive to meet your family, to eat bread and drink wine!"

After eight rounds of shooting, the warship, which was originally clean and smooth, has become pitted and full of gaps.

Staring at the approaching pirate ship in the distance, the Minister of State Affairs frowned.

In other words, if they want to get these weapons and equipment, they have to go back and get the money, and exchange them face-to-face one-on-one.

"Hoohoho!"

"Roar, fight to the death!"

Qi Yuan, who also changed into pirate clothes, saluted coldly, turned around and began to direct the soldiers who were getting ready to fight.

"Our Portuguese country will definitely occupy your capital, take back all your treasures and factories, and make all your men despicable slaves, and all your women despicable daughters-in-law!"

More importantly, there are 5 ships on my side, and the other 4 are merchant ships, which have no combat capability at all.

An hour later, the battle officially ended.

After countless shots, the only remaining artillery opened the first counterattack of the Portuguese country, and it was also the last shot.

In order to give the Minister of State Affairs a good impression, he got up early in the morning and waited here.

Pulling out the revolver at his waist, Qi Yuan waved his hand, and the old sailors who had been prepared a long time ago pulled the rope and jumped to the opposite side.

So just look at the flag, if you really lose.

Just as the Governor was about to talk about the relationship between their family and the Minister of State, excited shouts sounded from the watchtower next to them.

Now the opponent's ships are larger than our own, and the number is also more than our own. We still come prepared, and our side has very little hope of winning.

The governor stopped talking, and hurriedly called the people around him to get ready to welcome him.

The three fleets sailed quickly while slowly approaching each other.

"Boom!"

Zhu Zhangui, who watched the whole battle with a telescope, saw that there were no more artillery on the other side, and guessed in his heart that the other side had no power to resist, so he directly ordered the preparations for the gang battle.

"Seize a favorable position and fight with these damned yellow-skinned monkeys!"

It's not that he didn't think about surrendering, but he could think of the hatred between the two countries. It is estimated that if he surrendered on one side, he would be skinned and cramped on the other side, and thrown into the sea to feed the sharks.

In the gun bay of the pirate ship opposite to the battleship of the Portuguese country, the artillery commander who was directing his brothers to shoot saw that the salted fish on the opposite side dared to fight back. The artillery that was ready to shoot was aimed at the only artillery in the Portuguese country and bombarded desperately.

Which navy doesn't carry a pirate flag when going out these days, and travels as a country in normal times. If you encounter a fat sheep, you can make a lot of money by changing the flag.

Of course, most of them still intend to watch those scantily clad dancers to satisfy their greed.

Zhu Zhangui: You think too much, I never find a reason for my actions.

He was very worried that Daming, who had sold a large amount of arms to make friends with many powerful countries around him, would find an excuse in the near future to directly attack them.

"Bang bang bang..."

And what about him on board?
There are only 12 pitiful guns, and they are installed on both sides of the ship and the bow and stern. There are only four cannons on one side of the ship. Compared with the powerful firepower of Ming Dynasty, it is nothing like it.

What makes them even more uncomfortable is that Daming only accepts cash transactions.

The Minister of State Affairs seemed to have thought of something, his expression was startled, and then he pointed in horror at the fast approaching ship in the distance.

The artillery equipped by the navy has been modified. When fully charged, the firing distance on the sea surface can reach up to three nautical miles.

On the wide sea, a fleet of five ships was sailing slowly, and bursts of roars and curses came from the flagship in the middle.

"Hey, why did the ship change direction?"

Wait... the other day!

The captain, whose face was covered in blood and wounded in many places by the shot sawdust, squatted beside a cannon, fixedly stared at the pirate Daming ship opposite, and gave the firing order angrily.

"Turn around, turn around, run the other direction."

No one wants to die, and no one wants to be a slave, so they can only do their best, trust the weapons in their hands, and trust the comrades around them. They can fight off the pirates and win.

Heart-piercing shouts echoed the minister of state affairs.

There is no cover or shelter on the sea surface. This kind of pincer attack, no matter how the opponent runs, it is only a matter of time before they are blocked.

More importantly, he also recognized the identity of the ship, which was exactly the model of Daming.

As Qi Yuan issued the combat order, the soldiers quickly found a favorable position, set up their guns, and got ready to shoot.

Hearing the shouts next to his ears, the corners of the governor's mouth curled up slightly.

When the distance between the ships of the two sides was less than one nautical mile, Daming first gave the order to fire.

"Fire!"

"Damn, dare to fight back, and let me blast him to death at that point!"

Qi Yuan raised his hand to salute, then hesitated, and whispered: "Their Minister of State Affairs is still alive, he wants to see you."

After taking a few breaths and venting the suffocated anger in his heart, the Minister of State Affairs of the Portuguese Country sat down on a chair and stared blankly at the distant sea.

As a result, let alone paying a high price for the purchase, he didn't even enter the venue of the fair, which made him how to explain to King Joao I after he returned.

All of a sudden, the whole body of Putao Kingdom was beaten, and the lucky shells flew directly to the deck, causing several casualties.

"Hehe, are you desperate!"

As the sun slowly sank into the sea, a mighty fleet slowly came into the eyes of everyone on the pier under the reflection of the setting sun.

After several sea battles, the Marines of the Fifth Corps have become familiar with this way of fighting.

The naval strength of the Ming Dynasty after many years of training is naturally no small matter. Only in the first round of shooting, only 1% of the shells missed, and the remaining two layers were bombarded on the ships of the Portuguese country.

He came here with the idea of ​​crazy purchases. Before leaving, the king also told him not to care about money. Daming’s technology is the hope for the rise of the Portuguese country. Also have to endure.

At a distance of [-] meters, the faces of the people on the opposite boat could already be clearly seen.

In his heart now, it was like the scene where a rich and handsome man drove a sports car to call him brother and brother in front of a bunch of poor relatives in the countryside. Under the envious and jealous eyes of the poor relatives, he picked him up to play.

As for the pirate flag hung by the other party, just pretend that you didn't see it.

Thinking of the two powerful steel warships of Ming Dynasty, and the warships in the Gulf of Aden, where the armistice was drilled every day, and the guns were rumbling, the minister of state affairs panicked.

These white-skinned pigs are very valuable, one head can be exchanged for two taels of silver, one tael is given by the imperial court, and the other one tael is the savings of the fleet soldiers led by Zheng He over the years.

Due to the backward artillery technology of Putaoguo, the Ming army has not yet entered their range, and they have endured no less than eight rounds of shooting during this period.

"Fire!"

The crazy and rapid bell rang, waking up the minister of state affairs who was in a trance.

Sensing the envious and awe-inspiring eyes around him, the governor coughed lightly, straightened his clothes, and took a few steps forward with the waiters around him, preparing to welcome the Minister of State Affairs who will disembark later.

"what happened!"

People like to watch the excitement.

"This is an irresolvable hatred. Only blood and death can free the dead. This is an unavoidable battle. Not only do we have no way out, we also have no possibility of surrender. Once we surrender, we will face endless torture and humiliation."

The only usable cannon was unluckily hit by a shell, and the muzzle turned sideways, sweeping away a few white-skinned pigs around it, smashing the tattered hull beside it, and plopping into the sea.

Putaoguo discovered that the Ming ship was around 9:11 a.m., and when it was almost [-]:[-] a.m., the distance between the three teams was less than three nautical miles.

"Your Excellency Governor, could it be that the plan has changed and they left directly?"

"No, there are also in the back!"

When he was in Aden, he chatted with sailors from other countries, and learned from the other party that each ship of the Ming battleship had at least seventy cannons.

"Does this ship look familiar?"

After 12 o'clock, the distance between the two ships was less than 300 meters.

Except for some forces who really can't afford the money and can only touch their empty pockets and drool at the powerful weapon.A fairly good big force didn't even get a hair, and didn't even enter the venue.

Just when the helmsman was desperately turning the rudder and preparing to escape from other directions, there was another loud roar from the watchtower.

"Children, it's time to go all out, this is our last chance, for our family, for our lives, kill!"

"I think you still remember how we treated their soldiers a few years ago."

"Yes!"

Encountered pirates these years, there are only two endings.

"Hit the enemy ship, 0.8 nautical miles away from the enemy ship, you can continue to shoot!"

"Damn yellow-skinned monkey, just wait, I will definitely get revenge for the humiliation you gave me."

Qi Yuan, who had just experienced a battle on a boat, strode up to Zhu Zhangui, who was fishing with Xu Ruoying with a fishing rod, and reported the result of the battle.

"It's over!"

And just at this moment, in the desperate eyes of the Portuguese sailors, the shells flew over the head of the opposite pirate ship and smashed into the turbulent sea.

"idiot!"

He knew that these Ming people were here for revenge, and as long as the two parties met, they would definitely be immortal.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom!"

After recognizing the identity of the incoming ship, the Minister of State Affairs, who was already in a panic, suddenly collapsed.

"Ding ding ding..."

Touching the vain money, even though the soldiers knew that the money would be donated to others, their hearts were warm.

Qi Yuan, who was in command of the battle, saw that the guys on the opposite side did not hide, but stood up instead.Glancing at the rows of rifles raised by his side, he cursed an idiot in a low voice, and then gave the firing order without hesitation.

Zhu Zhangui glanced back at him, and said calmly: "I am the prince of Ming Dynasty, not a sister in a small room on the street. Why do cats and dogs see me when they say they meet, then I can't live well? The country's court affairs are still on the way." Don't deal with it anywhere!"

Although the money received will be donated, but before the money is sent out, it is still with me.

"Why haven't you arrived yet? There was news a few days ago, didn't you say you will come today?"

The captain paralyzed and sat on the deck in despair.

"His Royal Highness, the battle is over. Five of our troops were injured and no one was killed. Except for more than 40 captured by the enemy, all the rest were killed!"

Qi Yuan immediately stood at attention, raised his hand and saluted again, turned and left.

But this wait lasted for a day, and the fleet on which the Minister of State Affairs had agreed to ride had not even been seen.

In order to avoid the shells hidden everywhere, the crew and sailors crawled out of various hiding places in twos and threes amidst the captain's yelling, groped for the available weapons around them, looked at the opposite side with decisive eyes, and prepared for the battle Prepare.

"Enemy attack, take cover!"

Whether the Minister of State is crazy or not, the crew and sailors of the Portuguese country are no longer in control.

The sea is different from the land. There is no smooth and stable ground here. Even if the angle is calculated every time the artillery fires, no one can be sure whether the next wave will lift the boat and let the shells fly to Java.

The four cannons fired at the same time, and three of them were lucky to directly hit the muzzle of the cannons. The hull on the opposite side, which had been destroyed for a long time, was blasted a big hole by three shells.

The gunners under the cabin were quickly loading shells and adjusting the angle of the muzzle, preparing to give the enemy a head-on blow as soon as the meeting started.

"Crash!" The moment the cannon was ejected, a wave suddenly lifted up, and the ship jumped up violently.

"There are pirates!"

At this distance, when manipulating this kind of old-fashioned artillery, many countries talk about shooting almost in vain, and even after several rounds, they may not be able to hit.

There was even an unlucky merchant ship that had several large holes opened below the waterline, and the turbulent seawater rushed in desperately, causing the ship to tilt sharply, and its speed was already as slow as a turtle.

The ten warships commanded by Zhu Zhangui were divided into two echelons and surrounded the enemy's fleet left and right.

The order to fire was issued again, and the gunners who had been prepared for a long time pulled the gun rope vigorously, and enthusiastically sent the hot shells to the Portuguese people on the opposite side.

The side guns rumbled, and the modified shells, driven by the power of the gunpowder combustion, roared towards the fleet of the Portuguese country.

Those soldiers wearing cold weapons held a round shield in one hand and a short knife in the other, ready to jump into battle.

The soldiers hurriedly looked for weapons and prepared for battle, while the bearded captain quickly ordered the helmsman to turn around and run to other places.

"As ordered!"

Zhu Zhangui, who commanded the pirate ship to surround the enemy fleet, saw through the binoculars that the opponent's ship was mobilizing manpower to prepare for battle, and couldn't help chuckling.

Portugal deserves to be the starting point of the age of navigation. Their navy's ability to deal with battles is many times stronger than that of other countries' navies.

Don't underestimate it, it's only [-]%.

The captain still has some verbal skills, and just a few words stabilized the hearts of the crew and sailors, and by the way inspired their blood and courage to fight desperately.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

On the pirate ship of the Ming army, the observer in charge of observation saw the shooting effect, his face was not happy, and he conveyed the result to the bottom without any accident.

"fire!"

Either be killed, or become a prisoner of the other party, be sold by the other party, and be a slave for life.

Following the governor's greeting, the band and dancing girls who had been prepared for a long time began to play cheerful music and dance passionately.

Daming's weapons are very good and powerful, but at this price!
Thinking of the vain money that their own side has to pay, the various forces are excited, but also very painful.

Although the money, many marine soldiers plan to go back and donate it to the families of the fallen soldiers after they get it.

The enthusiastic artillery was still firing crazily, and the time slowly reached 12:30, and the ships from the three parties had already gathered less than [-] meters away.

Thinking of the horrific consequences after the surrender, the captain shuddered violently, quickly got up from the deck, and shouted at the flustered crew and sailors:
"Children, we have been blocked by the enemy. This is a dirty plot, a shameless trap."

On the sea in the distance, several warships are approaching rapidly, and the skull flag flying high on the bow is so dazzling and glaring.

But what?

A person next to him offered a guess.

Fortunately, the captain with only one broken arm staggered out of the gun bay, waved the half-broken knight sword in his hand, and shouted hoarsely to the remaining sailors and crew members who were still alive preparation.

Although the artillery can hit so far, its accuracy is so poor that it is embarrassing.

He seemed to have seen the style of these ships somewhere, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them for a while, anyway, they were very familiar ones, as if he had just seen them a few days ago.

The Governor shook his head, "Impossible, the Minister of State Affairs is a good friend of my father, if he passes by me, he will definitely come and sit down."

"Hey, my dear His Majesty the King, if we had known this would happen today, we should have taught this Ming country well, instead of baring our ferocious fangs just for a little bit of poor bread."

The impatient Marines who had been waiting on the boat for a long time waved their weapons excitedly and roared excitedly at the opposite Portuguese ship.

Although his ship is a battleship, it is equipped with artillery and various attack weapons.

A few days ago, he received news that the minister of state affairs who went abroad for diplomacy will arrive today, so that he can prepare for the reception.

With only one nod left in the setting sun, when the approaching fleet was less than 400 meters away from the shore, under the watchful eyes of the governor expecting everyone, the fleet not only failed to pick up the pilot boat, but instead began to change direction, using the side string to face up the pier.

The minister of state affairs panicked, and quickly ran to the side of the ship under the guidance of the soldiers, took out the binoculars, and looked at the distance of the soldiers' fingers.

Therefore, the navy has strict regulations. In order to effectively kill the enemy without wasting shells, the shooting distance is set at about one nautical mile, and the remaining shooting distances will be determined by the captain according to the situation.

"Here we come, get ready, get ready..."

"Although there are pirate flags hanging on the opposite side, you must know their identities."

It's not that this guy has poor mental resistance, but that he has been continuously ignored by Daming, and he doesn't know how to explain to the king when he goes back, so he hasn't slept well for several nights.

But the ship on the opposite side was obviously bigger than his, and the number of the other party was one more than his own. The captain didn't dare to gamble on this.

And this power is the country of Portugal.

The people of Ceuta, who had long heard that there would be a big man coming today, heard cheerful music coming from the pier.Without much fun, they gathered around one after another, intending to listen to music and take a look at what the big man looks like.

Seeing this scene, the governor frowned, and suddenly a bad feeling rose in his heart.

But before he could understand the origin of this feeling, his eyes looking at the fleet saw a slowly rising flag, the opened gun port, and the black hole slowly emerging from it. muzzle.

In an instant, the governor's pupils dilated sharply, and the bright smile on his face gradually turned into panic.

"Yes, sea... sea... sea... pirates!"

"Boom, boom, boom..."
