On that day, Fu Zhilong and Qing Huaxiang were beaten by the same wind, Fu Zhilong had problems such as rushing to sea, lack of sailors, lack of guides, etc., and although Qing Huaxiang was relatively well prepared, with sufficient sailors and guides who were more familiar with the East China Sea, because he tried to follow Fu Zhilong at the beginning, he did not fully follow the guide's advice, and when he lost contact with Fu Zhilong, Qing Huaxiang himself was trapped in a strange sea - after all, no matter how capable the guide on the ship was, it was impossible to know everything about every place in the East China Sea.

In the days that followed, Qinghuaxiang's leadership began to disagree. Some suggested going directly to Shuangyu according to the agreement with the owner of the East Gate before departure, while others believed that the situation was completely different from the time when the agreement was made before going to sea, and that they should continue to search and rescue Fu Zhilong, who might have been in trouble, to avoid the shipowner's death.

It should be said that people on both sides have both reasons and difficulties: to go to Shuangyu as agreed, the guide on the boat was not very sure of the location of Qing Huaxiang at that time and the direction of Shuangyu, and thought that it was more advantageous to continue to go east and north according to the direction of the wind, rather than going west to south against the current; Search and rescue should be the first priority, the sea is vast, and it is really easy to get in touch once the ship disappears from view, and even if you want to search and rescue, you don't know how to start.

Not only did the two opinions disagree, but there was also a dispute over the issue of Qinghuaxiang's acting leadership.

Chen Baifu, Shen Wei, Zhou Dafu, Kavala, Yang Zhizhong and other people who followed the East 'Gate' to celebrate entering South Australia occupied most of the positions of the second echelon of the entire Qinghuaxiang. But there is no one in this group of people who can temporarily act as an agent for Qing Huaxiang, and the internal opinions are not completely unified, so although the number of people is large, it seems a little loose. And Wu Ping not only has great merit, high position, and controls the armed forces of the whole ship, if he adopts a tough attitude, any opposition voice will be suppressed by him. However, Wu Ping did not show much toughness. When he left Lin Guoxian and chose to follow the East Gate, he did not want to establish his own 'Gate' household, but had other considerations, and at this time, if he exaggerated himself and suppressed the old department of the East Gate Qing when the life and death of the East Gate Qing were uncertain, it would inevitably make people doubt his intentions.

In this way, Qing Huaxiang spent a lot of time in the 'chaos' and 'chaos' of the leading group, and before he knew it, he had already seen the land, and even ran into a fishing boat, and they inquired about it to know that Qing Huaxiang had arrived near the Ryukyu Islands. Although Chen Baifu was not a big man when he was in the Ryukyus, he was also a Ryukyuan after all and was familiar with the local nostalgia. Under his tutelage, Qing Huaxiang successfully arrived in Zhongshan Kingdom, a subject country of the Ming Dynasty, and even got an introduction from the king.

The local water merchants in the Ryukyus told Wu Ping that it was not a good wind to go from Ryukyu to Shuangyu at the moment, but to go to Japan in the right direction. Survival is always the primary consideration in sea traffic, and subjective decisions often have to be subjugated to objective circumstances. At this time, whether it was Wu Ping, who had an obvious enterprising 'character', or Yang Zhizhong, who strived for safety and stability, or Zhou Dafu, who had always been 'fine' and calculating, they all felt that it was better to go to Japan to do business first, and then go to Shuangyu when the monsoon was south.

In this way, the leading group of Qing Huaxiang reached a compromise after several discussions, set sail north, hired a sailor familiar with the local sea as a guide, and advanced along the island.

On this day, they were about to arrive near Chenjiadao and Nagashima Island, and the Ryukyu guide told them about Chenjiadao and said that they could consider anchoring there for a while.

It turns out that although Chenjiadao and Changdao mainly make a living from fishing, they are not completely connected with the outside world. Some small merchants in the East China Sea often move between the islands from time to time, or once every few months, or once every few years, but if you compare Chenjiadao and Changdao, Chenjiadao has more connections with the south, and Changdao has more frequent connections with the north. Ah Yin was spurned after being sent back by merchants from Kyushu, not only because she violated the old prohibition that "'women' do not go to the sea", but also because she violated the new taboo of "not communicating with the north". However, for the seafarers who come from the south, the people of Chenjiadao have always been relatively friendly.

After Wu Ping heard about this, he planned to rest on Chenjia Island and inquire about any news of Fu Zhilong. This night, Qinghuaxiang was close to Long Island, and suddenly there was a cannon sound in the darkness! Although the sound of the cannon is still a little distant, it is enough to make Wu Ping vigilant!

"Listening to the sound of cannons, it seems to be coming from the direction of Long Island." The guide estimated and said, "Changdao and Chenjiadao have been at odds all these years, so they can't be at war, right?" ”

Chen Baifu was a little strange when he heard it: "The weapons of the East China Sea have advanced so fast? Even places like Chenjiadao and Changdao use cannons? ”

The guide was stunned for a moment and said, "No, they are so poor, how can they have cannons?" ”

"And what's going on with this cannon?" Zhou Dafu said.

"I'm afraid that outsiders have invaded this sea." Wu Ping looked at the place where the cannon sound came from and said.

"Outsiders?" Chen Baifu smiled bitterly: "Manager Wu, you don't know! Those two islands are too poor to be invaded by those who can fit the cannons. ”

"Not necessarily." Wu Ping said: "If our boat happened to have no food and water in the vicinity, maybe it would take this road." ”

In short, when a cannon suddenly heard in this sea area, everyone thought it was an unusual thing, and Zhou Dafu suddenly said: "You say, will this matter be related to the owner?" Could it be that the owner of the ship was beaten by the wind and ran out of water, and is now attacking Long Island? ”

When everyone heard this, they all felt that it was a bit far-fetched for these two things to be related, but it was not completely impossible. Zhou Dafu suggested that he take a closer look, but Yang Zhizhong was more serious, thinking that he should not approach at will in the sea area where there is an accident, so as not to provoke right and wrong, after all, the possibility of the ship's owner Dongmen' Qinghui being involved in this matter is too small, and there is no need for everyone to take risks for this "unprovoked" thing - this is the traditional belief of businessmen to seek safety. Wu Ping has always been bold, and when encountering accidents at sea, he will often first 'figure' it out, see if there is a chance to get a piece of the pie, and if there is really danger, it is not too late to go - this is the habitual thinking of pirates who dare to take risks.

In the end, Wu Ping's opinion prevailed, and they heard that the sound of artillery was happening on Long Island, so they went around in a small circle, and first quietly came to Chenjia Island, which was closely related to Long Island, but unexpectedly met Yu Buci, Cui Guangnan and others here, and learned that Dong'men' Qing was dealing with a group of terrible Franco-robbers on Long Island at the moment!

"It's good you're here!" Yu Buzhi said: "Let's hurry up and help the owner!" Chen Baifu, Shui Yu Cai and others echoed one after another.

Cui Guangnan said: "But we don't know what the owner is planning, but don't let us rush over, we want to help but ruin the big thing of the owner!" Yang Zhizhong and others also advocated being serious.

Wu Ping said: "What a big deal! Isn't it right to defeat those Franc robots? The owner of the ship was because he had no warship, so he had to sneak into Long Island and do it from the inside! But if we can defeat them directly, it will be in the same direction as what the boss is doing, and it won't hurt a big deal! ”

Cui Guangnan was frightened and exclaimed: "Those Franc people are very powerful!" ”

Wu Ping smiled: "It's not amazing, let's talk about it after fighting!" ”

Qing Huaxiang's military has always been in charge of him, and the East Gate Qing is not here, and Wu Ping said that no one can beat him if he wants to fight, not to mention that Chen Ajin, Yu Buci and others also support him. Wu Pingyu already knew that the Golden Dog was blocked between the two islands, so he first sent a small fishing boat to spy on the movements of the Golden Dog. I don't want to be in touch with Lasso at this time, and the two ships have been reorganized and adjusted the proportion of sailors have gone to Long Island, so the small fishing boat as a reconnaissance can't see anything on the sea where the Golden Dog should have been, and then the cannons on Long Island rang out again!

Yu Buxi exclaimed: "The owner has been on Long Island for some days!" Tonight, the sound of this cannon has stopped and stopped, and it has stopped and stopped, which is very unusual, I am afraid that the owner has launched an offensive! We've got to get over and call for help! ”

This time, everyone had no opinion, and immediately Wu Ping took care of the matter, ordered to recruit the fastest fishing boat, and went to the rescue with Qing Huaxiang, Chen Ajin said: "What use can our fishing boats have?" Wu Ping didn't explain, just ordered, and then set off as fast as he could!

On this night, Gaspar and Lasso were caught off guard by the East Gate celebration and almost fell into a place of no return! The remaining four Franco-Robot people were only thinking about dealing with the Da Ming mute who had invaded Long Island, where could they have thought that there were others behind them?

It wasn't until the east turned white and they were 'cornering' Fu Zhilong that Qing Huaxiang suddenly appeared! They had never seen this big ship before, and they didn't know what it came from, but the bombardment of Fu Zhilong could not stop for a while.

Wu Ping personally ascended the heights, and saw that the sailing trajectory and firing mode of the Golden Dog and St. John were subtle and different from the pirate sailors of the East China Sea countries, and this difference could not be seen by laymen, but in Wu Ping's eyes, it was as obvious as the contrast between black and white. He looked at Fu Zhilong, who was being bombarded, and saw the clumsy and helpless evasion appearance, and smiled secretly in his heart: "That must be the East 'Gate' brothers!" He also really has the ability, he can still snatch Fu Zhilong back without a ship or cannon, but the deeds at sea are too unbearable. ”

Immediately gave the order and rushed directly to the St. John's!

Wu Ping and Yu Buqi's command and control of the sea ship are quite similar, but Yu Bu Qi commanded the sea ship to escape, which is a kind of dolphin-style flexibility, Wu Ping commanded the sea ship to go on a rampage, but it is a kind of shark-like fierceness! Qing Huaxiang's design is a dual-purpose business war, different from Fu Zhilong's merchant ship design, at this time and ordered Wu Ping alone, he has a plan on how to fight this battle situation, so that Qing Huaxiang action is extremely smart, and the last time the East 'Gate' Qing commanded Fu Zhilong to meet the battle when the kind of hurry, hesitation, and lack of confidence, the high and low are like clouds.

On the other hand, the situation of the Golden Dog and the St. John was reversed, firstly, they lost the leader of the 'Mendosa' and many Franc partners, which not only suffered a great blow to morale but also greatly weakened the implementation of the Franc Machine's high-level sailors of all ethnic groups in the East, and secondly, they did not understand the intention of this large ship that suddenly appeared, and they could not 'withdraw' from the inertia of continuing to attack Fu Zhilong in time, and their actions seemed hesitant, and third, the number of sailors on these two ships was not very sufficient-the sailors on the Golden Dog were just right, Because after dividing some people to pass the St. John's, it was not enough, and the two ships relied on the advantage of artillery fire to deal with the East 'Gate' Qing, but they were unlucky when they met Wu Ping!

Qing Huaxiang under the command of Wu Ping, with the inertial speed rushing all the way straight to the St. John, seeing this, quickly stopped shelling Fu Zhilong and adjusted the course, but the adjusted course speed was not as fast as Qing Huaxiang, which was already in high-speed driving! Seeing that he couldn't dodge, Gaspar hurriedly ordered the cannon to be fired! Although there are also cannons on Qinghuaxiang, but Wu Ping did not plan to deal with the other party in the artillery battle at this time, relying on the big board of Qinghuaxiang's ship, rushing straight over, although Gaspar's sailing skills are wonderful, after all, he only barely avoided Qinghuaxiang's collision angle, and when the two ships passed by, the huge Qinghuaxiang set off a big 'wave' actually rushed to St. John's a little off!

Huhuhu - just when the two ships were at the minimum distance, Qing Huaxiang's sailors 'shot' out of a dozen extremely thick and strong long ropes, with hooks on the ropes, firmly climbed the St. John's, Gaspar was shocked, and quickly sent someone to chop the rope to prevent being entangled by the other party, but heard the sound of clicking, Qing Huaxiang launched a longboard and wanted to forcibly connect the string and rush over! Gaspar hurriedly instructed the sailors to push the board and resist! I didn't expect the gunshots to sound on the upper floor of Qinghua Xiangchu, but it was Kavalla who led the team to release the guns, and three or four of the St. John's fell in the gunfire, including a Franco, and the group of sailors who chopped and pushed the board were also 'chaotic'! Wu Ping looked at his heart and said: "They are understaffed!" Hey! So what are you worried about! ”

At this time, the Golden Dog had already driven close to rescue, but it didn't dare to get too close - the sailors of the two ships together were far less than Qinghuaxiang, and they couldn't take advantage of the 'hand-to-hand' combat in close quarters, not to mention that Lasso on the Golden Dog was not a particularly brave person, so he only fired artillery attacks from a safe distance. Master Qing Huaxiang had plenty of manpower, and this side continued to strengthen the offensive against the St. John, and there was still room for the gunners to launch artillery and bombard the Golden Dog.

In the midst of the 'chaos', someone on the St. John suddenly screamed again! It turned out that Wu Ping's throwing ropes, shelves, and shots were all just to 'disrupt' the opponent's position, and at the same time, he had put down a few small boats, took advantage of the 'wave' push to get close to the St. John's, and rushed up in the empty place of the opponent's defense - this is the killer feature!

Climbing a sea boat is like climbing the top of the city! As long as the first climb is successful, it will not only open a gap for the latecomers, but also have a great impact on the morale of both sides! The first to succeed in the climb was Chen Ajin, his courage was not under Li Rongjiu, after climbing up, he took a few sailors to protect the climbing place, and soon seven or eight swordsmen came up, and at the same time, there were also sailors from Qinghuaxiang who rushed up to another climbing place, and as soon as the team of nearly ten people met, Gaspar knew that the St. John was finished! After the fall of several sailors just now, the whole ship is now less than thirty people! Where can you stop each other?

The Kavala and the others on the upper floor had already changed into lead for the third time, condescendingly, and put their guns to cover the companions who had rushed to the St. John! When Gaspar led people to meet Chen Ajin, Qing Huaxiang over there set up the springboard again, and the main stormtroopers rushed up in three ways, shouting "surrender and avoid death", while brandishing their swords, and Chen Ajin's side of the climbing team of fourteen people was caught between them, and in a short time, they took seven or eight 'lives'! Not only Gaspar, but also the whole ship knew that the St. John was finished!

Suddenly, Qinghuaxiang and the Golden Dog remembered the hustle and bustle at the same time, Qinghuaxiang was cheering, and the Golden Dog was exclaiming! It turned out that Fu Zhilong, who had been cruising on the beach, also set sail and rushed over to help in the battle! Although the distance was still far away, the sailors of Qinghuaxiang were all greatly inspired when they saw it, while the people on the Golden Dog couldn't help but panic.

"Captain......" said a native of the South Seas beside Gaspar, frightened, "why don't we surrender......"

Gaspar was furious and killed the native with a knife, and his other subordinates did not dare to say the same thing for a while, but the hearts of the people were even more 'chaotic'! Suddenly, a dagger came close to Gaspar's throat, and Gaspar was shocked: "Andrew! What are you doing! ”

Andrew, who was short, held down Gaspar's right hand holding the weapon with one hand, and pressed the dagger against Gaspar's throat with the other! Seeing that Gaspar had no strength to resist, he shouted in his broken Chinese: "We surrender!" We surrender! ”

Gaspar exclaimed, "You're crazy! Surrender...... Surrender as much as die! ”

"They don't have to be the same as us!" Andrew roared, "There's no point in fighting any longer!" Surrender, maybe still alive! I don't want to die, I don't want to die! He shouted to the sailors around him: "Listen to me, surrender!" ”

The sailors are 'pardoned'! Seven or eight people shouted, "Surrender!" Surrender! ”

Wu Ping snorted, and if he didn't agree, Chen Ajin and the leader who rushed over first were already receiving the prisoners, so he ordered to unarm all the prisoners of the St. John, escort the two Franco-mans, and let Chen Ajin temporarily take over the ship, and then turned the bow of the ship and rushed towards the Golden Dog!

At this time, Fu Zhilong has also rushed very close, and the two big ships can already flank the Golden Dog from two directions, if it is on land, it is no longer alive in such a situation, but at sea, the Golden Dog still has a little chance - not a chance to win, but a chance to escape.
