Dragon Sea Empire

On the third day after the wealthy Nanyang businessman surnamed Luo came out of the eunuch Gao Cai's mansion.Yuan Jin and Li Zhong became deserters of the Ming court's official army.Two people with a dozen cronies.Escaped from Fuzhou City in the name of training.A Nanyang merchant ship boarded at the Minjiang Wharf.That night, we drove out of the Minjiang River estuary.Head towards the South Seas.

When the secret information about Yuan Jin and Li Zhong came to Lin Xiao from the sub-colon of Fuzhou Huaxing Union.Yin Feng and Zhonghua Company are busy for a special fleet to sail to Southeast Asia.

Zhonghua Company's first main battleship, Flying Dragon, and Xinxing, which has undergone repeated transformations.With two three-masted ships.Five two-masted ships.It is full of silk, ceramics, embroidery, tea, cloth, ironware, books and other goods.A long trip to Europe is about to begin.This is the first time in history.The Chinese took the initiative to go to Europe by sea to explore and trade goods.In the history of communication between East and West.Chinese Catholics visited Europe during the Yuan Dynasty.Since the opening of new sea routes in the age of great voyages.No Chinese has ever taken the initiative to travel to Europe by sea.Li Jin, who brought the Dutch to Penghu, was probably the first Chinese to reach the Netherlands and mainland Europe by sea.But he went with a Dutch ship; this time the fleet was led by Ye Hua.It will be the first time that the Chinese traveled to Europe along Vasco da Gama's route.

This fleet first arrived in the Nanyang area.From the various Western colonies there, you can get a guide for the Indian Ocean route.Ye Hua and the Chinese company fleet will become the first Chinese to enter the Indian Ocean after Zheng He.The deputy commander of the fleet and the value store (property manager) is Mr. Bernardo.And Captain Barreto Jr., ready to go home and enjoy his fortune. .During his tenure in the Chinese company.He has earned enough money to spend the rest of his life.So he is going home.Several Dutch sailors also set off for Europe.Several members of Mr. Bernardo's family. . "New Christian" merchants.A Jewish businessman who travels on the European and Asian sea routes all year round.

The main task of the fleet is to try to open up a new route for direct trade with Europe; at the same time.The fleet will shoulder diplomatic missions.After arriving in Europe.Li Dan, who is accompanying him, will find a way to submit a document to the highest level of the Spanish Empire: Li Dan, as a naturalized Spanish citizen, accuses the Philippine Governor and others of massacring legitimate citizens.

尹峰的举动使曾棋、曾景山、韩平等很多人都不能理解。但是李旦却是支持的；这一招搞不好能打乱西班牙帝国反攻的步骤。现在菲律宾殖民地丢失的消息恐怕还沒传到西班牙本土。而叶华船队到南洋后。乘着印度洋的冬季季风。正好可以快速横渡印度洋北部。一切顺利的话。在明年这个时候应该就能到达欧洲大陆了。印度洋北部冬季（11月～翌年3月）南纬10°以北盛行东北季风。出现了主要由北赤道流和赤道逆流构成的逆时针方向的东北季风环流。夏季与冬季相反。在5月开始。南纬10°以北洋面几乎为西南季风控制。洋流随印度洋季风的更替而有季节性的流向转变。历來是帆船时代东西方海船來往最大的动力。现在是农历八月底。船队到达南洋是刚好是东北季风开始吹的时候。

There is a special person on board.Zeng Shan, the newest member of the Zeng family; oh.Now he is an old candidate who has failed many times in Beijing.Back then, Yin Feng married the Zeng family.The only opponent of the Zeng family is him.This guy is brainwashed by reading sage books.In the capital, he followed Qingliu and the eunuchs to fight against each other.In the demon book case, he wrote an exposing post to scold the dignitaries of the dynasty.He was jailed and spanked a few times.

Zeng Ke sent people to the capital to contact many old friends from his hometown.It took a lot of money to rescue Zeng Shan from the prison.However, he was deprived of Juren's identity on the charge of falsely discussing government affairs.

Zeng Shan was disheartened and returned to his hometown in Quanzhou with all hope.Almost committed suicide.Yin Feng returned to Taiwan after the Manila battle.I saw that this brother-in-law was at the lowest ebb of his life.Just like Zeng Ke suggested that Zeng Shan come to Zhonghua Company to help with things.

Together Zeng Ke and Yin Feng dragged Zeng Ke to visit various scenes in Taiwan and Hong Kong.Visited the training equipment of the barracks.Navy warship cannon.Then Zeng Ke scolded Zeng Shan head-on.Then he asked him: "What is the so-called examination of your merits? Don't talk empty words. Most of you scholars who study hard are villains who pay lip service to others. There are many hypocrites in the imperial court who don't agree with what they say and what they say. What's the use."

Over the past few years, Zeng Shan's innocent heart has been repeatedly hit.Somewhat cynically, he said: "The world is declining and the world is falling. I am a scholar who has no power. The so-called morality in modern times is nothing more than fame; the so-called fame is just wealth."

"That being the case, what Feng'er does is to seek great things and wealth. Why don't you come to help."

"The so-called morality in modern times is just fame; the so-called fame is just wealth." Wang Yangming said.The cynical words written by the founder of psychology to his friends.Zeng Shan was extremely disappointed with his career and officialdom.The ideal of life is completely shattered.Therefore, he gave up on himself and joined Yin Feng's businessman gang.

The problem is that Zeng Shan is too bookish.Never touched commercial trade.The practical ability is really poor.The Ministry of Commerce and Trade under Zeng Jingshan has a construction department.Material department, transshipment department, money and grain department, degree support department, accounting department, hydraulic engineering department, taxation department and many other departments and departments.Zeng Shan is not good at anything.Asking him to copy and write every day is indeed a waste of talent.He didn't want to go to Mengxue to teach literacy classes.Yin Feng, who was troubled by this, was forming Ye Hua's European fleet.After getting Zeng Ke's consent, he specially arranged Zeng Shan in.Let him record everything he sees and hears during the journey as a scribe.At the same time, I also went overseas to broaden my horizons.Don't always go around in the small frame of the Four Books and Five Classics.

Zeng Shan indeed has the will to break away from the secular world.Leave the chaotic situation in Daming for a while.It's also good.therefore.Zeng Shan didn't hesitate much.He agreed to go to Europe with the ship.

The scene of creating history unfolded before Yin Feng's eyes.The sensational scene has been repeated since Yin Feng's triumphant return from Manila.There are about 1000 Chinese sailors participating in the voyage this time.There are more than 300 Portuguese, Dutch, British and Malay sailors.so.There were also many foreigners who came to see us off.Almost all foreigners living in Taiwan have appeared at the pier.

Yin Feng stood on the watchtower of the North Fort.I used the binoculars to watch the sails of the Feilong and other ships go away.

Lin Xiao went upstairs.Gently stood behind him.Holds a roll of paper in hand.

boom.boom.boom.The forts on the north and south sides of the harbor fired at the same time.Seeing off Ye Hua's fleet on a long voyage.

"This is history. We are making history." You Wenhui stood on the other side of the watchtower.While drawing on-site sketches on the drawing board.He shook his head and sighed.

"If I wasn't the big owner of the company, I would definitely be a part of this fleet." Yin Feng sighed.He turned back to Lin Xiao and said, "Ye Hua has long wanted to see the outside world. I promised him. Now he has got his wish. How I wish I could go to sea with him. Travel across the world..."

Lin Xiao scratched his scalp and said with a smile: "Captain, the bigger and farther world you mentioned. Is it really that interesting? I think it's really eye-opening to follow you all these years. Said it was big enough."

"Hehe. The overseas world we see is less than one-tenth of the whole world." Yin Feng said with a smile.

"Why did you stop in Malacca? If Li Dan wants to go ashore, what should I do?" Lin Xiao asked suddenly.

Yin Feng looked at the pile of documents that Lin Xiao brought.After pondering for a moment, he said: "Brother Li should not blame me. Even if he meets Li Huayu, he is not necessarily dealing with me. Leave him alone. Mai Xiaoliu has already gone to Malacca. He will look at Li Huayu. For Yuan Jin and Li Zhong. You send someone to send a letter to Xiao Liuzai. Once you find these two people, arrest them. Try to capture them alive."

He flipped through the work report of the company's security department for a while; the company, farm and army under his control and the official documents of various places.Always use half-literal text.In order to adapt to the current situation that the general cultural level of the company's employees is not high.

"What. There was a conflict between the Ryukyu Chinese Merchant House and the local Japanese samurai." A report caught his attention.

"According to the report. That group of Japanese is the one we drove out a month ago. The envoy of Satsuma."

After Huashan Yuki and others left Taiwan Hong Kong in despair.Encountered several typhoons in a row.Originally, I also wanted to stop at the coast of Taipei area to rest.But the Chinese company has already strengthened the defense of chicken coop fresh water in advance.Increased the number of patrol ships.He just drove his fleet away from the Taipei area.

Kawayama Yuki's fleet lost another ship halfway.The rest of the ships were damaged to varying degrees.Had to make a temporary stop at Ryukyu.To repair ships and replenish supplies.They went ashore to ask the Ryukyu people for various supplies.But at this moment, nearly 20 Chinese merchant ships are taking shelter in Ryukyu.Many ships also need repairs and supplies.Most of these ships belonged to the China United Company.They had a very close relationship with the Ryukyu kings and civil servants.Therefore, materials can be obtained first.People from the Satsuma clan have always been used to running rampant in Ryukyu.Really impatient after waiting for days.Straight to the door.Send people to the wharf of the Chinese company to grab wood.As a result, there was a fight with the sailors of the Chinese company.

To talk about personal combat effectiveness.Most Chinese sailors are not as good as Japanese warriors.The Chinese company sailors who suffered at first took out the muskets and crossbows in the bilge.Formation began to deal with the samurai.result.The advantage of the samurai was reversed.Quickly defeated on the pier.Hundreds of people were killed or injured.Fights also took place between merchant sailors and Japanese from non-Chinese companies.Even those Ryukyu sailors and dock guards were involved in gang fights.Of course, they are all on the side of the Chinese company.Until the Ryukyu King's Guard arrived.Only then did the turmoil be stopped.

subsequently.Satsuma's fleet received the corresponding supplies first.He was sent away by the Ryukyu people.The Chinese company suffered many casualties.But the Ryukyu Kingdom took the initiative to send condolences.A pension was also given.

"It seems that the Ryukyu people still want to be on two boats." Yin Feng shook his head and sighed: "It seems that we have to turn our attention to the north."
