The huge ship broke through the waves and advanced mightily, with the banner on the prow fluttering in the sea breeze.Full Text No Ads

The Ming Fleet left Managa, and some merchants stayed there.These merchants did not continue westward with the fleet. It cannot be said that they were short-sighted. On the contrary, they were all far-sighted people. Most of the people who made such decisions were people whose families did not have the ability to continue ocean voyages. They felt that, Instead of joining the ranks of the ocean-going gold rush and competing with other advantageous families, it is better to find another way.

They stayed in Manlajia and used the local cheap labor and abundant timber to build seaports, build warehouses, and open inns, restaurants, and casinos.Since the Ming Dynasty opened up the ocean trade, it is foreseeable that as Zheng He's fleet went west this time, merchants from all over the world would flock here soon after hearing the news.

Manga is an important port. Western merchants need to stop here to clean up and disassemble their goods so that they can be sold to different countries in the east. When they return, they also need to stay here for a long time to wait for the monsoon. During this time Here, of course, they also need to consume.These people who live on the sea travel thousands of miles and face many risks, so they are especially willing to spend money and enjoy themselves.

Therefore, operating here may not fail to make a lot of money.And this is also in the interests of Daming. As Da Ming goes all the way to the west, it will build its own bases in many important places. This is the first step. , seized the control of ocean trade, so the fleet was very supportive of their choice, and negotiated with King Managa on this to create convenient conditions for them as much as possible.

At the same time, Zhou Man, Hong Bao, Zhou Wen, Yang Qing and others also led a fleet and embarked on their journey, visiting countries on different routes and exploring the edge of the ocean.However, their departure did not make the fleet shrink. On the contrary, the fleet became larger, because not only Managa, but also many wealthy businessmen from small countries nearby joined Daming's fleet and traveled westward with them.

The sea water is blue, the sky is clear and blue, the giant ship moves forward, and the land behind the ship gradually turns into a faint blue color on the map. The fleet travels along the bay, and small islands are on the side of the fleet. Seagulls fly, Waves and surges.

At the bow of the boat, Tang Saier enthusiastically admired the seascape that changed with the boat and constantly brought forth new ones, chatting and laughing with Su Ying from time to time.

Su Ying is naturally familiar with the ocean, but the scenery of the East China Sea and the South China Sea are completely different, and she is also very interested in seeing it.

Fei Yinglun jumped up and down the ship like a mouse that lost its soul. After a while, he ran into the cabin to see Xia Xun, who was leisurely playing chess with the cook Yu Shifu, and then ran to the bow to see Su Ying, who was talking and laughing. And Tang Sai'er, he was so anxious that he scratched his head. (full-text e-book free download)

All the signs in front of us showed that the Ming army was completely defenseless, and everyone was happily waiting to accept the surrender, but... that insidious pirate king really surrendered to the Ming fleet so easily?

Fei Yinglun didn't believe it, he firmly didn't believe it, that guy Chen Zuyi didn't even understand the basic morals of being a pirate.

"Aunt Ying, look, look, what's that in the water? It's so beautiful, like umbrellas that open and close!"

Tang Sai'er suddenly leaned over the side of the boat, excitedly looking at groups of white phantom-like things in the blue water and asked.

It was a group of jellyfish wandering around looking for food, Su Ying was quite used to it, so she smiled at Tang Sai'er: "This thing lives in spring and dies in winter, the big one is like a bed, the small one is like a bucket, it has no eyes, stomach, and stomach. It's a strange thing, but shredded and mixed with cold dishes, it's very delicious, and I don't know what it's called here, but we call it 'sea moon' or 'bright moon'."

Speaking of this, Su Ying's face suddenly felt a little hot, probably because she suddenly thought of the bright moon that was played by her husband-in-law last night.

"Woo~~~~" The lookout whistle on the high pole on the bow blew the horn, announcing to everyone in the fleet: Bolinbang has arrived.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

The bow plows the waves, and the waves splash.

When Xia Xun heard the sound of the horn, he walked to the bow of the boat. He was dressed in a straight dress of lake silk and wore a square scarf, just like a polite businessman.

Standing on the highest deck, looking into the distance, he saw the faint shadow of the harbor in the far distance, and the visibility is very high today.

Xia Xun blinked and looked at the flagship again. The signal from the flagship was coming this way, and the ship Xu Hu immediately waved an orange flag and responded to the main ship. Xia Xun couldn't help smiling.

After the flag was communicated, Xu Hu walked to Xia Xun's side.He was dressed in military uniform, and at the age of over 40 years old, for a martial arts practitioner, it was the time when his mental and physical strength reached the peak, his black and red face was extremely imposing.

Xu Hu said to Xia Xun: "It's all right for Chen Zuyi to surrender obediently. If he really dares to do something, hehe!"

Xu Hu laughed, and said again: "Someone has reserved this Bolin State. If this island is won, it will be operated according to this island."

Xia Xun didn't look back. Facing the sea breeze and sunshine, he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and asked, "Oh, who made the reservation?"

Xu Hu said: "It's the three big wood merchants in Fujian, and the leader is General Chizhong's brother-in-law. The three of them are very powerful together, and they have the great backing of Chizhong, so Eunuch Zheng He has already agreed. Now These people are gearing up for fear that Chen Zuyi won't do anything."

Xia Xun said with a smile: "I have met Chi Zhong's brother-in-law, he is indeed a clever man. The other businessmen compete alone. He has the support of Chi Zhong, his brother-in-law, and he has to cooperate with the other two big timber merchants. This is a good man." , will do things."

Xia Xun pointed to the lush island and said: "This island is rich in precious wood such as chicken wing wood and rosewood. If these three big businessmen stay here, they will make a fortune. They want to cut and transport wood. You have to hire a large number of local mountain people. As long as you organize a team of 3000 people with big axes, they can have a considerable say in the local area. When they develop, they will control the local economic lifeline and port, ha ha ..."

Xu Hu said: "Well, people in the Nanyang Islands don't have to worry about eating. There are so many fish here that you don't even need to go into the water to fish. You just need to build a low dam with stones on the seashore. Once the tide goes out, just pick them up and there will be countless fish. There are no fish and shrimps, and there are many birds and animals in the mountains and forests. There are all kinds of fruits all year round, but apart from eating, everything else is very poor.

In this way, if they want to get all kinds of living things, they have to use money to buy them, and if they want money, they have to work, and the family does not have to worry about food, and they don’t need to send young and strong laborers to work in the fields like the people in the Central Plains. They have to hire workers It's easy and cheap too.The timber merchants had all planned well. "

Xu Hu leaned on the side of the boat and said with a smile: "Haha, now that I've said that, I'm starting to hope that Chen Zuyi will do something to us, otherwise how can he become famous as a teacher."

Xia Xun glanced at him, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid... you also invested your capital here? Otherwise, how could you, Mr. Xu, be so interested in business?"

Xu Hu blushed, and smiled embarrassingly: "I know I can't hide it from the Duke."

Xia Xun laughed out loud.

At this time, Fei Yinglun rushed to the top floor, but was stopped by two soldiers. Fei Yinglun struggled, and shouted at Xia Xun angrily in the Venetian Chinese he had just learned for two days: "Mr. , can’t, can’t!”

Seagulls were wailing and circling in the sky. The fleet slowly sailed into the harbor at the mouth of the bell. More than 30 warships were parked neatly in the harbor. The warships were full of soldiers. These pirates, known as soldiers of Bolin State, were not neat , can only wear a vest of the same style and color, and the weapons in his hands are also various.

They stood in line on the deck, with their heads held high, and tried their best to look like they were being inspected. There was a crowd of people on the pier. His Majesty Chen Zuyi, the king of Bolin State, was wearing a self-made royal robe and a crown on his head. Are eagerly waiting.

Chen Zuyi didn't intend to overstep, but because he didn't know what kind of crown the king should wear. His predecessor didn't leave him a decent set of crowns, and the country didn't have a crown system at that time.Chen Zuyi had no choice but to use his imagination, drawing on some New Year pictures and folklore, to piece together such a set of king's crown clothes.

If he walked around in front of Emperor Yongle wearing this crown dress, Emperor Yongle would never be furious, because his so-called hanging crown dress is completely specious. The snake looks like a dragon.As for the crown, the crown of the emperor is twelve, the princes are nine, the upper official is seven, and the lower official is five. Chen Zuyi thinks that hanging too much will affect the sight, and because he often sails on the sea, he thinks that the number six is ​​very auspicious, so he came up with a six. tassel.

What kind of arrogance is this?

Although Chen Zuyi was crowned with a monkey, it was a joke, but at least he had prepared a band as the concierge, and this band was also the signal for him to make an agreement with all the troops.Seeing the Ming Fleet slowly entering the harbor, Chen Zuyi couldn't help swallowing his breath. The spectacular scene that covered the sky and the sun gave him a lot of psychological pressure.

Can this majestic team really be shaken by him?

But then he thought about the infinite wealth carried by this fleet, and thought that after these large ships fell into his hands, he would be able to travel across the east and west undefeated. His heart was burning, and his eyes were blinded by greed. color.He stuck out his tongue, and slowly licked his lips, like a wolf that chooses to eat people, with a sinister smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.

"Woo~~~"

Seeing that the fleet had completely sailed into the harbor and was slowly slowing down, an official in a white robe and a wingless veil could be clearly seen standing on the ship surrounded by a large group of officials. Head, the sail on the mast is slowly falling, and the big anchor on the side is also splashing into the water...

Chen Zuyi let out a smirk, and under the order, the horns sounded first, followed by the high-pitched cymbals and drums, and the warships lined up in the port suddenly moved in unison, moving forward like a pack of wolves to outflank the past, and the target was Zheng He. The main battleships headed by battleships.
