Since he has chosen Xu Hao to go to Europe, Li Xiangqian doesn't mind teaching him to be darker, of course, it is doubtful whether this kid has such an ability to understand, but everything is developing in a good direction, which is good.

The expected interception of our steamer road, the other side was extremely rude, our army could not bear it, but the enemy blocked the way of our ship, our army could not dodge, and accidentally knocked down the enemy ship.

Although this kind of plot is beautiful, it is unrealistic, as John Farrell secretly roared in horror, their speed is too fast!

Along the way, there were also countless sea ships belonging to the East India Company, or other forces, discovered the miracle of the Liaoning, but their speed was not as fast as the Liaoning, and there was no means of communication to send the news back to Batavia, not to mention, as long as the Liaoning reached the South China Sea, it did not have to go south to Batavia, and turned west into the Strait of Malacca, and sailed into different seas.

There were a lot of ships encountered along the way, Xu Hao also took the opportunity to observe the nationality of those big ships, and then relied on the information obtained to calculate the total amount of goods transported by these ships, and came up with good data.

Their Renaissance just tied science and commerce, and in the early stage, they went to Africa to pass off glass balls as treasures, traded precious stones and slaves with tribal elders, and then fed back to see and invest in research, how to build better ships, bigger cannons, and this virtuous circle continued until the end, forming what we know as modernization.

"I suddenly felt a little ashamed, compared with us, the funds obtained from digging gold mines in Australia are really not as good as buying and selling goods by ship by ship, and in the process, people have fed tens of thousands of sailors and captains, these are the real combat effectiveness."

Xu Hao has no other meaning than communicating with the big and small people on the ship every day, but the two missionaries, Mei Qianzhi are very active, and seem to be accustomed to sailing operations, not only studying the ship's up and down with great interest every day, but also mingling with the people on the ship, reciting the gospel and preaching by the way.

People who are willing to go to Europe, at least at this time, can not be regarded as conservatives, they are all clever masters, of course, they are also in the mood to try it to understand, in this regard, Xu Hao does not matter, the purpose of this trip is to put it bluntly, it is a spy, that is, a temporary envoy, to go to Europe to collect intelligence.

Of course, Mei Qian's biggest target is Xu Hao, but Xu Hao is giggling about this, no matter what, the daily work of collecting information has delayed him for most of his time, and he really doesn't have the leisure to do this.

Of course, there are still other fun, the room on the boat is well arranged, there is a fishing net hanging behind the side, from time to time you can catch a lot of fresh fish, along the way is to eat fresh seafood, such days, if not often receive a woman's wordless and weird text messages, it is also good.

"Bang, bang."

Suddenly there was a voice from below, it seemed to be very anxious, the Liaoning is a double-deck design, the distance is a little far, plus the influence of the sea breeze, some can't hear those sounds clearly, but something is certain.

Xu Hao hurriedly went downstairs, "What's going on!" ”

"Chief, Elder, it looks like there's a war going on over there."

A soldier shouted, they are all northerners, and they are still in the stage of adapting to the waves, but the vomiting situation has improved much, and they are just walking outside at this time, and the industrial production capacity of the TOEFL Presbyterian Church can almost do a telescope in each person, which can be regarded as a reflection of combat effectiveness.

Every soldier can't put it down when they get it, and there will even be people in the outside world who buy it at a high price, but the elders who have warned about it will be guarded against it, so that no one steals it, but everyone carries it with them.

His binoculars were looking into the distance, Xu Hao looked at it from afar, and sure enough, looking around, many people had already run out to see the situation.

He hurriedly returned to the captain's room and turned on the special telescope equipment on the ship, which had reached the Indian Ocean, but because it was relatively large, there was chaos everywhere, and India itself was also chaotic, and the British still needed to accumulate strength, and it would take a few decades before they could begin to further control India.

Decades later, the reason why the British fought the first battle to conquer India, it is ridiculous to say, a group of French instigated a group of Indian princely states to attack a British business port, in order to achieve the goal of monopolizing commercial interests, but those British soldiers played an N-0 victory, which can be regarded as the real beginning of the stretch.

Prior to this, the British, to the Dutch, to the French, all of them had occupied the coastal areas of India, large and small, so the chaos here is quite understandable.

"I can't tell whose flag it is."

Due to the general lack of real historians on the ship, little is known about the flags that were hung on ships in this era, but it is clear that there is a very European flag on one side, and nothing can be seen except that it is an eagle, and there is smoke coming out.

It was probably two ships besieging one ship, but the broadside battle had already begun, and the occasional flash of light told the onlookers in the distance that the resistance still had some strength left, but the time was no longer on their side.

"Knock knock." Outside the captain's room, there was a knock on the door.

Mei Qianzhi seemed to be very anxious, looked at Xu Hao, and said: "My lord, it seems that the ship is a merchant who has been attacked by pirates, and occasionally there are nobles' flags, can you." ”

Xu Hao smiled a little and said, "However, you Europeans are also on the other side, I'm standing in the middle, it's not good to participate in anything." ”

Mei Qianzhi said: "Those who have turned their backs on morality and law are God's outcasts, how can they deserve it, but ......"

Xu Hao sighed: "I have a hunch that this matter is not a trivial matter, well, why do you have such a familiar sense of déjà vu?" Well, you wait, I'll think about it. ”

He didn't let Mei Qianzhi into the house, and when he turned around, he immediately informed the imperial capital, and this is the disadvantage of this kind of remote control.

Fortunately, someone was on duty at any time, and after getting Xu Hao's warning, the speed of the ship began to slow down and turn, after all, there was a fight in front, and the ghost knew who was fighting whom, and saving himself first was the king.

", Xu Hao, you are the winner in life, first took down the nurse sister on the ship, then the Japanese female samurai, and now even the pirate has been bumped into by you, I dare to say that the pirate must be a red-haired female pirate, or ****." Zhang Liang wailed in the imperial capital, and recently reduced the work of digging pits in Australia, and the number of flying missions was reduced, and they all rested at home.

", what's the use of giants, poverty is king! Is there a loli-faced female pirate? ”

"Ahem, don't talk nonsense, Xu Hao, you are close there, do you think it is necessary to make a move." Li Xiangqian interrupted this somewhat ambiguous conversation and began to ask.

Xu Hao thought for a while and said: "The situation is unknown, it is difficult to judge the identity, and I can't say whether I should save people or not." ”

"Who told you to save people! I mean, let you just kill all your opponents, take down the gold and silver on it, and don't forget, you guys are going out this time, and the money spent is much older, and you can subsidize some if you can. ”

"You mean to be a pirate, it's not good, boss, we're going to do diplomatic work, being a pirate is to reduce prestige, and being a pirate is enough to blacken out, reputation is hatred."

Li Xiangqian said: "Who made you a pirate, well, I'm talking about legal pirates, ah, it's just to let you eat black for nothing, is the piracy business in the Indian Ocean so prosperous, it's also a good business, but it seems that you have to find a way to exterminate it, let's start with you, first knock off the ship's mast and sails, and the ship that loses power is a poor worm to be slaughtered, let's fight." ”

Xu Hao gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll do it." ”

Since it is not killing, then the psychological pressure to do so is not great, in this era, if in a naval battle, the mast of a ship is knocked off, it means that it cannot move, it is one of the ways to show weakness in naval warfare to show surrender, to show you, I have abolished my ability to resist, don't beat me anymore.

He pointed the way, moved the ship, and at the same time thought about opening the anti-materiel rifle, this thing is so powerful that it is not something that ordinary people can control, of course, it has long been eliminated in the 21st century, but it is better to save bullets.

Just before he was about to move over, suddenly there was a loud noise from the place of battle, and on the deck of the attacked sea ship, there was a huge noise, as if someone had ignited the explosives, the sound was extremely loud, and he liked to stare at it, and he didn't seem to understand very well, was it inadvertently ignited, accident, or was it a fierce man who died with the enemy?

In the binoculars, you can see that the people on the pirate ship seem to be ignorant by this explosion, greatly shocked, and then stop attacking, no matter how good the money is, no life is valuable, who is not afraid to meet this kind of madman who sacrifices his life and money?

Xu Hao thought about it and turned on the playback of the electronic telescope, but he didn't notice it before, it turned out that on that deck, there was once a white man who threw a wooden barrel out and smashed it between his opponents, and the explosion was caused by the wooden barrel.

This is a warrior, after the explosion, it seems to have caused an emberfire, and it is difficult to see clearly, of course, you don't have to look closely to know what happened.

Xu Hao shook his head and said: "In the end, it is worthy of the fact that there was a time when the future generations got the whole world, and they were all spelled out by the ancestors." ”

Thinking of this, Xu Hao was even more sympathetic to these people who were attacked, at this time, because of the fire, the smoke and dust were very large, and he couldn't see the situation of the three ships clearly, but he was not in a hurry, it was already autumn at this time, and the wind and waves in the Indian Ocean had been very strong, so he observed the wind direction, and ordered the ship to move to the west side of the three ships that were in a fierce battle, and after avoiding the shelter of the wind direction, it was just right to see that in addition to the interference of those smoke and dust, many small boats were heading towards them.

When they saw the Liaoning, they were all shocked by the size and sudden appearance of the ship, but there were pirates behind it, but they couldn't think much about it, so they could only flee towards the shore.

The west wind gradually blew away the fireworks on the deck, and the boat behind also wanted to chase the fleeing people, but the reaction was not very timely, this kind of large ship reaction speed naturally could not be too fast, adjust the sails, equip personnel, and at this time people are moving things on the ship that was robbed, at this moment, who do you let carry forward the style, give the opportunity to make a fortune to others, and leave the opportunity to chase the enemy hard.

Well, this is not pirates, this is the PLA.

Although the self-detonation powder keg is more violent, it seems that after this blow, the resistance has stopped, and the following can naturally start to make a fortune.

Xu Hao watched Mei Qianzhi suddenly greet the people on the small boat who were gradually approaching, and the voice was not small, although it was not English, but the grunter was almost a certain language in Europe, and under this greeting, the lifeboats began to head towards the Liaoning.

I, the owner of the ship, didn't speak, so I made my own opinion, this missionary's problem was a big drop, Xu Hao suddenly remembered, isn't this the sausage cutting tactic that the boss said, first use the moral shackles of saving people to control you, and then ask you to open up resources to the enemy, if you don't save people, it's inhumane, what's that.

It's nothing more than a double standard, Xu Hao has already deduced what Li Xiangqian taught, these imperialist aggressors' tricks are really a few tricks over and over again, to say advanced, that is, advanced in science, but when it is the turn of resourcefulness, it is really superficial.

Thinking of this, Xu Hao jumped out of the captain's room and walked down quickly.

The steamer was slowly slowing down, and the lifeboats were slowly approaching, and in any case, the Fujian sailors and a few missionaries were all throwing down the ropes with their hands and feet, and pulling the multiple survivors up.

Although the boat is high, it is not without a place to climb with strength, and many people soon climbed up, all of whom were being soothed by Mei Qian's kind words and Smurfs.

Xu Hao ran over and shouted: "What are you doing, just pull up people who don't understand, guard company, what are you doing!" ”

The commander of the guard company is tall, although he has been plagued by vomiting before, but after all, he has been trained in the north for several months, and he can already adapt to the sea. ”

"Put all these people on the boat in the activity room, find someone to watch them, and shoot them at the slightest abnormality!"

Although Mei Qianzhi studied Guangpu, he also understood what it meant when he heard this, so he came over anxiously, stopped Xu Hao, and said: "This general, how can you treat our people like this, they are all lambs who have been attacked, and they should be ......"

"you, whoever will take it to my ship without asking, Lao Tzu has fought too many times, mixed in the women and children and pretended to be good people, and then stabbed the black knife to see more!"

Mei Qianzhi saw that Xu Hao was originally honest, thinking that he could "a gentleman can deceive him", and take control of the ship little by little, if the method is correct, the people of this ship will be included in his own beliefs, even if he can't "inspire" this big man, he can also let him die "accidentally" and bring the ship into the arms of Rome.
