Three days later, the port of Singapore.

Due to the lack of satellite positioning, only a compass and a sextant can be used, and the channel is narrow, so the speed is very slow, and it takes more than 500 nautical miles for three days.

Along the way, Lin Xiao, Chen Yiming, and Li Tao visited several patients respectively, talked and enlightened them one by one, and soothed them with kind words.

Several meetings were held to determine the identity of the person returning to China, and the discipline of secrecy was emphasized. Now that you have come to ancient times, you naturally have to think of a lie about your origin and the black technology you carry, otherwise if you are regarded as a monster by the locals, then the fun will be great!

After discussion, it was unanimously agreed that Lin Xiao, Chen Yiming, and Li Tao would be the temporary decision-makers of the entire collective, and it was decided that Chen Yiming would be in charge of maritime navigation, and Lin Xiao would be in command after going ashore, and that major matters would be discussed with everyone.

In the past three days, Li Tao, a veteran intelligence officer, has basically been moving between the containers on the deck and in the hold, checking the number of the containers with the packing list to look for those suspicious containers.

After three busy days, dozens of containers were sampled and inspected, and sure enough, they were all arms! That set of machinery and equipment is also clearly military machinery.

On the third day, Li Tao made people carry two crates, one long and one short, to the cockpit, and whispered to Lin Xiao. The crate had been pried open, and Li Tao opened the panel, which revealed five brand-new M16 automatic rifles, each sealed in a plastic bag and soaked in butter.

"Sure enough, it's American." Lin Xiao took out a branch and glanced at it, smacking his tongue.

"Now, it's ours." Li Tao said with a wicked smile. Lin Xiao blinked, looking at him a little confused, the previous Li Tao, who was often blank, was gone, and he felt a little strange.

Inside the second crate, there are two M2A1 iron ammunition boxes, open the ammunition box, the box is full of yellow and clear bullets, Lin Xiao only glanced at it, and knew that it was 5.56mm caliber.

"It's the main island of Singapore in front," Chen Yiming put down his binoculars and sighed sadly, "Look at that galleon, it's really come to ancient times!" ”

He has no interest in arms, and when fear becomes a reality, Chen Yiming's heart is still a little panicked.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao gently patted Lao Chen's shoulder, and then raised the telescope.

……

Singapore, formerly known as Temasek, is located at 1°18'N, 103°51'E, bordering Malaysia across the Johor Strait in the north, Sumatra, Indonesia across the Singapore Strait in the south, and adjacent to the south mouth of the Strait of Malacca.

Singapore is located in the tropics, controlled by the equatorial low pressure zone all year round, for the equatorial rainy climate, the annual temperature difference and daily temperature difference is very small, the average temperature is between 23 and 34 °C, the rain is abundant, often in the afternoon suddenly a thundershower.

The main island covers an area of about 500 square kilometers, with an average altitude of less than 15 meters, and most of the rivers on the island are impounded. The terrain is gently undulating, with the western and central areas of the country consisting of hilly terrain mostly covered by forests, the eastern and coastal areas are plains, with the highest point being Bukit Timah at 163 metres high.

In the 14th century, Singapore belonged to the Sultan of Malacca, founded by Bairi Missoula.

In the early 15th century, Zheng He set up a military village and a warehouse here, and left a group of Ming troops, which belonged to an overseas enclave of the Ming Dynasty.

Later, in 1613, the Portuguese burned down the Chinese stronghold at the mouth of the river, becoming the first Europeans to enter the South Seas. However, only the merchant house and the tax collection point remained, and there was no garrison. It was not until the beginning of the 19th century, with the decline of Portugal and the Netherlands, that it was occupied as a British colony.

……

At Temasek Harbour Pier, a three-masted gunboat flying the Dutch tricolor flag is quietly docked.

This is a large ship called "Unicorn", the sea hegemon of this era. With a length of 83 meters, a width of 16 meters, a draft of 6 meters, and a double deck, more than 1,800 oak trees were used in its construction, with a displacement of nearly 1,800 tons and a maximum load of more than 1,000 tons. Equipped with 84 guns of various types and capable of carrying up to 800 crew members, it is still the best warship in the world although it cannot be compared with the European first-class battleships of the 19th century.

Groups of Han Chinese and a handful of Manraka natives were unloading their cargo, and the natives standing by the ship were a little dizzy from the bulwarks that were taller than the city walls.

On the stone pier, stacks of wooden crates tied with straw rope are stacked.

Not far away, a Dutch captain was talking to a Han Chinese leader, accompanied by an interpreter.

"This batch of grain must be unloaded as soon as possible, and tomorrow the silk and spices will be loaded on the ship, plus fresh water and food supplements, and it must be completed within two days."

"Otherwise, I'll be punished again, you know." Captain Vernandez looked up at the long tooth that pierced the sky like a swordfish on his Unicorn, and said proudly.

"Yes, it will be done on time." Shi Zhaoxiang, the leader of the Han people on the side, bowed cautiously in response.

"You Daming, it's over, and the Francos are in decline. You have to be honest, the whole of Manraka will be our Dutch East India Company in the future, understand? Captain Vernandez said arrogantly.

In recent decades, the Netherlands has grown into the most powerful maritime power, and the Portuguese, occupied by the Portuguese and Spaniards in the South Seas, is gradually being encroached upon by the Dutch.

……

"Huh?"

No answer was heard.

Vernandez blinked his eyes and saw Shi Zhaoxiang's mouth wide open, his eyes over his shoulder, and he was looking at the sea in the distance.

"Ship...... Big ship ......" There was a terrifying cry on the pier.

……

The two big ships are getting closer and closer, and the huge hull is pressing against the shore like a small mountain, like a black cloud pressing down on the village!

"Treasure ship? Is it the treasure ship of the Ming Dynasty? Shi Zhaoxiang left Wilnandez and shouted as he ran.

At this moment, the dock was already on its knees.

Did the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty send someone again?

I can already see the name of the ship on the big ship, it's a kanji!

Daming hasn't forgotten us after all!

The kneeling people wept.

……

originally planned to return to China directly, but when he saw the large European sail battleship on the dock, Lin Xiao temporarily changed his mind.

His idea was simple: a pirate ship? Hemp egg, take it captive!

Chen Yiming agreed. Born in the navy, his knowledge of maritime history is much richer than Lin Xiao's.

He knew that there were Chinese people living here for a long time, and Zheng He also set up a military village here in the early Ming Dynasty. Now that there are European warships, it must be either the end of the Ming Dynasty or the beginning of the Qing Dynasty. In this era, the Europeans did not do anything good here, usually under the pretext of doing business, and what they actually did was colonization and piracy, even coaxing and robbing, and plundering the wealth of the Orient on a large scale.

When it was a hit, the big ship dropped anchor not far from the shore and lowered the captured pirate speedboat.

Ten members of the special combat team, fully armed, took Li Tao, who knew many foreign languages, to the dock in two speedboats and sailed at high speed......

Wilnandez was stunned, his mind in a state of confusion.

Is there still such a big ship in the world? It's just a cover! And...... Still don't see the sails? Could it be...... Devil?

Look at the battleship that I was proud of just now, like a puppy, pitifully crouched at the feet of the giant.
