As for how angry the bishop was after he went back, how angry he was, what table he smashed and scolded someone, and other things, it was quickly placed on Lin Feng's desk, and after reading the information of the military commander's ya', Lin Feng was not very concerned. People like Lord Bishop, who still retain the demeanor of medieval aristocracy, are probably just nagging, and even if the Holy See wants to find any trouble, it will not be able to reach China in a while, and now Lin Feng's mind has drifted to the distant ocean.

After more than 20 days of sailing, a fleet of nine Clark sailing ships has reached the Strait of Malacca. Along the way, the South China Sea was quite attentive to the expeditionary force, and apart from a slight wind, there were no major accidents. Of course, it also has to do with the formulation of the plan, if you go out to sea in June or July, you may encounter a tropical storm one day.

Since crossing the Tropic of Cancer, the weather has been getting hotter and hotter every day, especially for most of these expeditionary forces from the north, and the sweltering weather has made them feel oppressive. Therefore, after the army overcame the big problem of seasickness, how to prevent heat stroke, such non-combat attrition, became the main task of officers at all levels of the expeditionary force.

Fortunately, Temasek was in front of them, and the officers and soldiers who had been tormented on the ship for more than 20 days finally had a chance to relax.

The early pioneers of Asia from Europe, Portugal, Spain and the Netherlands all used Temasek as their stopover. So indirectly contributed to Temasek's prosperity, and now, it still belongs to the dynasty of Sri Buddha in Indonesia.

The officials were already cared for by the Portuguese on board, and the dry, thin local officials showed enough friendship with the Europeans who often traveled to and from the region with strong ships and guns.

But no matter how these officials behaved, the officers and men of the expedition looked at them with hatred and contempt in their eyes. After months of brainwashing and inspiration, they also knew that the group of monkey-like guys in front of them were also one of the accomplices in the murder of the Chinese. Strictly speaking, compared with other regions with harsh natural conditions, Southeast Asia and India are not very suitable for human survival, and the abundant resources of the tropics have cultivated the "sex" character of these monkeys who are lazy and lazy, and the Chinese who have migrated from afar, under the influence of China's traditional habitual "sex" for thousands of years, are more than a little more diligent than them. Therefore, the gap in life naturally arises, and what follows is all kinds of ugliness, jealousy, hatred in human 'nature', and finally develops into naked 'naked' and 'naked' burning, killing and plundering.

Murong Parrot is now on the Flagship Return, and this name was given by Lin Feng himself. Although it is known that sending the expeditionary force means that these people will be permanently crossed out of the army sequence. But he still couldn't help but choose this name, even if it was a thought for the officers and soldiers of the expedition.

In the shipyard room, through the small wooden porthole, Murong Parrot watched the performance of those officials expressionlessly. On the side, the captain of the return, Old Tryfo, wiped his sweat on the side. Before the departure of the fleet, although the goal of this mission was not 'explained', the possible consequences had been vaguely told to these Portuguese sailors on the ship, and high compensation such as settling-in allowance had already been issued, but the so-called "non-my race, their hearts must be different", so on the occasion of 'dealing' with foreign countries, of course, the Chinese officers also closely monitored.

But when he really saw the people he was going to carry, old Tryvier was still shocked. It was only a team of less than 2,000 people, but the pressure brought to him was unprecedentedly huge, even in the face of the siege of dozens of North African pirates, there was no such pressure in front of him. At least that's what happened to the elder Tryvier in his more than thirty years of sailing.

And the grievances between the monkeys in front of him and the king he served, the old Tryvior, who often came and went here, was naturally quite clear, and he was now a little worried that the officer in front of him would not be able to hold it for a while, so he rushed directly to the battle. He said in a calm tone: "General Murong, why don't we sit down and talk, didn't you ask me yesterday about the matter between our Portugal and that damn Spain." ”

Murong Parrot does have the impulse now, pull out his team, and slaughter the guys on the shore who nodded and hated, so that the world would be quiet, and other officers, after hearing the facts, would probably have such thoughts as Murong Parrot. But when you think about it, if he really wants to do it, it's obviously a bit inappropriate.

For the old man beside him, Murong Parrot maintained a certain respect, this is not just the 'sex' life of his own subordinates, in the hands of the captain of the return, the nominal commander of the expeditionary fleet. It's that this old Traver was so knowledgeable that after running the waves at sea for most of his life, he became a living dictionary of his own. And the meaning of the old Tryvier is not difficult to guess, so he replied coldly: "Trivior, you should not doubt my 'integrity' as a soldier, and I will not act rashly between completing our tasks." ”

"That's good, that's good!" The stone in Trypdh's heart was finally put down.

Looking at Temasek, who was gradually moving away from the stern, Murong Parrot couldn't help but think of Lin Feng's words before leaving, and he lowered his voice, as if he swore to himself: "Here, after all, it will belong to our Huaxia." These inferior peoples do not deserve such a fertile land. ”

During the next voyage, the officers and soldiers of the expedition were nested in the cabin, after all, they wanted to disguise themselves as slave ships from Southeast Asia, and too many yellow people were on the ship, which was still a little conspicuous on the golden waterway of Malacca. It's just that if those passing merchant ships knew their excuses, they would definitely denigrate it, and in their opinion, slaves were everywhere on the wild continent of Africa, so why bother to come to Asia to find them.

Murong Parrot was still 'worried' about the health of his subordinates, an army that had not undergone amphibious training at all, and it was too difficult for him to adapt to life on the ship immediately. After experiencing seasickness and tropical difficulties, many people's bodies collapsed, but fortunately, these conditions were also expected at the beginning, and the accompanying doctors were working hard to regulate the bodies of the officers and soldiers.

As the highest officer, Murong Parrot naturally didn't have to nest into the 'damp' wet and dirty cabin like everyone else. While crossing the Indian Ocean, he also came across what the elder Trumford called a mighty British navy. Perhaps it would be better to call it an armed "caravan" of the East India Company. With a huge Galen sail battleship and three rows of 'gloomy' muzzles, this is the most powerful battleship on earth.

Old Travert was recovering Murong Parrot on the history of Europe over the years, and of course his words inevitably mentioned the great war that shocked the whole of Europe more than a hundred years ago. The destruction of the Armada also freed the navies of the European powers from the previous history of broadside warfare and determined the status of artillery. At the same time, it was also the rise of the tactics of the battle line.

As a qualified officer, Murong Parrot's military qualities are beyond doubt. Although he didn't know anything about naval warfare, it didn't prevent him from recognizing the war potential of this giant fortress on the sea, although he was a cavalry officer, he had already learned the power of the red-coated cannon. And these huge ships in front of them, the windows of the black 'holes' and 'holes' all over their bodies, are probably similar to red-clothed cannons and the like, and the power of them can be imagined even with their toes.

The British were apparently a little dismissive of the small boats that slipped past them, and their target was the Netherlands, known as the coachmen of the sea, and for a period of time, the whole of Asia was a game of chess.

The more than 2,000 people on board were the second batch of Chinese people who stepped into the Indian Ocean on a large scale after Zheng He. Walking in the footsteps of those who came before him. Murong Parrot was also surprised that even in the Indian Ocean, the footprints of the Chinese seemed to be everywhere. In some of the small villages they supplied, they even kept the porcelain from Zheng He's voyage to the West, and used these porcelain fragments as their currency.

All of this has made Murong Parrot's mind extremely shocked, a country that had a huge fleet two hundred years ago and was proud of two oceans, and now, even its own people are slaughtered under their noses but cannot be saved. If you want revenge but rely on the strength of foreign races, as a soldier, Murong Parrot feels a shame, a huge shame. Under the education of traditional Confucianism, those overseas Chinese, in his opinion, have become foreigners and do not belong to the rule of the Han Dynasty, and Lin Feng's words later made him understand some truths, but they were far less intense than his personal experience.

Under this sense of shame, if it turned out that he was just doing the job with the responsibility of a soldier plus some anger. And now, he is full of thirst for this task. He longed to let the country that was almost on the other side of the continent see the anger of the ancient country, and his heart was full of the words sent by Lin Feng when he was about to leave the ship, those who offended me as a strong man would be punished even if they were far away!

Old Travert, who was by Murong Parrot's side these days, had witnessed this psychological transformation of the young officer. When he saw Murong Parrot's 'excited' red eyes, even the hated Spaniard Old Travers kept drawing a cross in his heart, in his opinion, after the young officer and the group of people under his command had been at sea for so long, once they were put ashore, I am afraid that only those demons from hell could compare with them. So he's now praying for those poor Spaniards.

The long voyage was long enough to drive a normal person crazy, and the soldiers of the expeditionary force were already exhausted. Perhaps it was the favor of the sea god, and apart from some trouble at the Cape of Good Hope, there were no major accidents along the way. After passing through the Gold Coast of Old Traver, we finally got a comforting news from the old captain, and only the last and most dangerous part of the journey remained, North Africa.

The name of the North African pirates should not be a stranger to these European navigators, and the national contradictions, religious contradictions, regional contradictions, and all kinds of contradictions are superimposed, so that the North African pirates can be said to take care of these European navigators. Morocco was a stronghold of North African pirates, and the Moors used it as a base to hunt merchant ships between Europe, America, and Eurasia.

But in Murong Parrot's view, this danger was completely an excellent opportunity. He was worried that his soldiers would not be able to guarantee their previous combat state after a long journey, and now that someone had come to practice, he was begging for it. If it weren't for the fact that the entire fleet was flying the Portuguese flag, Murong Parrot would even be very interested in 'communicating' with these North African pirates, after all, causing the greatest damage to Spain was the goal of their trip.

What happened next did not give Murong Parrot a choice. Conflicts often occur when the unexpected.

Murong Parrot didn't have much to do along the way, so just like Old Travers learned Latin, it is undeniable that most of the professional managers of this era belong to the category of language geniuses, such as Old Travers, he knows English, French, Italian, German, Latin, and even Chinese. Although it is not very 'fine', it is not a big problem to teach Murong Parrot and his subordinates, in the past few months, it is estimated that it will not be possible to reach the level of dating and shopping and picking up girls, but there should be no obstacle to eating and playing ball. And what is surprising is that Murong Parrot is still a little talented in this area, and I don't know if it was a foundation for learning the northern and southern black dialects on the Tao back then, anyway, Latin can basically stutter and make do, and swallow a lot of French, English, and German, at least singing a tone such as "Have you eaten" and so on.

On this day, Murong Parrot was holding a Latin version of "The Merchant of Venice" while reading it and basking in the sun. Ever since he learned that Old Travert had carried a few copies of Shakespeare on the boat, Murong Yu felt that this thing was ridiculous enough, to be precise, the customs and habits in the book were different from the Chinese underworld's fraud methods.

Just as he felt a sense of solidarity with the Jews in the book, the lookout on the mast shouted: "Pirates have been found ahead!" ”

The voice fell, and the whole ship moved, after such a long voyage, language was no longer the main problem in the fleet, the two sides that were originally different subordinates had now merged into a whole. Soon the members of the fleet were in place.

Of course, Murong Parrot is quick to react, and it is true that he likes to read, but in his bones, he is still a martial artist, a martial artist who is extremely hungry for war and blood. As soon as the lookout called, he threw the book away, picked up the binoculars beside him, and rushed to the bow of the ship to observe.

Under the command of Latrafo's 'Cao' Column, the fleet was not slow, and immediately began to gain the upper hand, and when it was about to approach the enemy, the two men rushed to the bow of the ship almost simultaneously. Through the telescope, they can see the sea very clearly.

More than a dozen small fast ships were besieging a merchant ship about the size of the Return. Traver didn't put down the binoculars and said softly, "Portuguese ship." "Murong Parrot" En. He responded.

It was pure nonsense, and the ship's flag was visible to everyone—but he understood what Traffor meant.

This time their goal was only to land in Spain, Seville. And all their actions are just for that. And now Old Travers obviously wants to save his compatriots, but although he is the nominal "commander of the fleet", it is impossible for him to command the entire expeditionary force, and if he wants to go into battle, he must obtain Murong Parrot's consent.

Murong Parrot was very hesitant, although he was not familiar with naval battles, but as a professional soldier, under the teaching of Old Traver along the way, he was not a pure rookie, and he was quite interested in this kind of water battle. Originally, according to his idea, he was to find a pirate with only two or three small boats to practice. But judging by the current situation, it is clearly more than he expected.

Those pirates helped Murong Parrot solve this problem, and when they saw the expeditionary fleet, they actually divided most of the ships around; Come here. In the distance, Murong Parrot could even hear the whistling sound of the wind.

Murong Parrot looked behind him, for the sake of safety, the fleet took three or three squads. The Return was led by the first squad, with only two warships disguised as merchant ships behind it. Looking at those arrogant pirates, Murong Parrot sneered and said loudly: "You 'bastards' are all for Lao Tzu to listen to!" - Raise the sails and fight! ”
