On the west side of Putuo Island, the warships of the Daming Navy Division gathered, and Yang Cong made a lot of efforts to deter the European colonists.

Because he came relatively early, he even asked Yu Dayou to unite all the warships for a drill, so at this time, the more than 300 warships of the Daming Navy Division looked like foot soldiers on land, changing formations and swaying freely.

At the beginning, all the warships were lined up in a huge circle, from the inside to the outside, the large and small warships were lined up one after another, neatly and neatly, and it was extremely spectacular.

When the Portuguese fleet appeared, the large circle array seemed to be awakened, and the periphery suddenly scattered in all directions, and soon formed several long snake formations, while the more than ten Daifuku ships in the middle were lined up in the shape of sharp arrows, which looked extremely majestic.

In fact, these more than 300 warships have practiced these two formations in total, and they have practiced back and forth in the past few days without knowing how many times, and they seem to be naturally smooth.

Frandick didn't know that the Ming Imperial Navy had rehearsed these two formations, and he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this battle.

The so-called "layman looks at the liveliness, and insiders look at the doorway." He is a veteran who has been on the sea for more than 20 years, so he naturally knows how difficult it is for this warship to be discharged in a neat formation, and the speed of the Ming Imperial Navy's formation change is a well-trained elite division!

At this moment, he has no luck at all, with the speed of the Ming Imperial Navy's formation change, once more than 300 large and small warships surround it, these warships under their hands will definitely not be able to do it.

Yang Cong wants this effect, he knows that these colonists are typical bullies who are afraid of the hard, once they find that your strength is weaker than them, they will definitely not hesitate to pounce and bite, if your strength is equal to theirs, they will also try to consume you, in order to clean you up, only by showing their strength far stronger, can they be honest.

The reason why he let the warships on the periphery line up into several long snake formations is to imitate the means of receiving the envoys of the enemy country on land, and when the commander receives the envoys of the enemy country in the large camp, he will let people hold long blades and line them up in several columns, and then raise the swords, guns, swords and halberds in his hands, cross each other, and form a passage like a mountain of swords and guns, so that the enemy envoys can pass through it, so as to deter the enemy and kill the prestige of the family.

The passage formed by these more than 300 warships is like a forest of swords and guns on land, and the enemy must have been terrified when they pass through the ships.

Frandick was indeed a little frightened at this moment, he was really a little afraid that the Ming Imperial Navy would suddenly get nervous, rush up, and destroy them.

However, the other party has already raised the flag and asked them to come forward for talks, and if he does not go over, he is likely to miss this rare opportunity for talks.

He thought about it, but gritted his teeth and led the fleet through the gun-like passage of the knife mountain and leaned towards the enemy's flagship.

Yang Cong was originally going to meet the Portuguese envoy on Putuo Island, but he gave up this idea after visiting the island for a while, because the island is too chaotic, there are all kinds of messy buildings, even tents, but there is no decent building, if the Portuguese envoy is allowed to go to the island, it will not be to grow his own majesty, but to destroy his prestige.

Therefore, he simply chose to talk to the Portuguese envoys at sea.

Frandic led several "poor" warships, through a mile-long passage, and finally came to the flagship of the Ming Empire's naval division, at this time, the other party waved the flag again, let him go to the flagship for talks.

Fa Keyou, why don't you come to my flagship to talk.

He found that since he came here, he has been led by the nose by the southeastern governor of the Ming Empire, and he has to do whatever people tell him.

For example, at this time, he led the fleet into the encirclement of the Ming Empire's navy, if he didn't do what people said, what if people suddenly turned their faces?

He was not sure that he would be able to lead a few warships to break out of the encirclement of more than 300 warships, and if he entered this pit, he would have to listen to others.

He hesitated for a while, and finally ordered his flagship to lean on someone else's flagship, and then pretended to be righteous and awe-inspiring, so he brought a translator and a team of personal guards, and calmly came to the enemy's flagship through the springboard.

At this time, Yang Cong had been waiting on the deck of the flagship for a long time.

Although the size of the Daifuku ship is not small, there are dozens of people standing on the deck at most, so he didn't bring many guards and generals, probably more than 20 people, and there were more than half of the deck empty.

As soon as Frandic stepped onto the deck, he was stunned, not that Yang Cong was so scary, the main thing was that there was no table in this negotiation place, there was a chair on the entire deck, and an official of the Ming Empire was sitting on the chair staring at him.

Fake, what does this mean, do you want him to stand and talk to people?

That's not fair!

He thinks that he should be on an equal footing with others, how can he stand and explain to others like a subordinate!

He hesitated for a moment, and then said to the translator: "The negotiator of the Ming Empire is too much, I am here to negotiate, they should have the least respect, he sits alone, let me stand and talk to him, this is not in accordance with the rules." ”

When the interpreter heard this, he could only cautiously step forward and repeat his words in Chinese.

When Yang Cong heard this, he couldn't help but say proudly: "What position do you have?" ”

Frandic listened to the translator's retelling, and said equally proudly: "I am Rear Admiral of the Portuguese Navy, Commander of the Far Eastern Fleet. ”

Fortunately, this translation is the expatriates he brought in Nanyang, so the translation is a major general and a commander, if it is the translation of the Ming Dynasty, it is estimated that he will be directly translated into a soldier.

The title of major general and commander must not be understood by ordinary Ming officials, but Yang Cong is very clear, a major general is roughly equivalent to a general in the Ming Dynasty, you are a fart!

He pretended to be curious and said: "Is this Franc Ji Country a governor or a major general, how many troops can a major general command?" ”

When Frandick heard this, he couldn't help but be embarrassed and said, "Of course it's the Governor, I have about a few thousand, a few thousand people under my command. ”

In fact, there are more than 1,000 people under him, and thousands of them are blown out by him.

Yang Cong pursed his lips and said contemptuously to the translator: "Tell him, this official is the governor, the governor of Zhejiang of the Ming Dynasty, and the place under the jurisdiction of this official is more than a hundred times larger than the place under the jurisdiction of the governor of Goa, and these people standing behind the official are all the chief military officers of the Ming Dynasty, and he commands tens of thousands of troops, and he is a major general who commands thousands of troops, and it is good that the official did not let him kneel down and speak!" ”

When Frandick heard this, he couldn't help but be speechless.

Although he didn't know how big the Ming Empire was, he still had a certain idea of the area of the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty, because the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty had thousands of kilometers of coastline alone, and the width of their Portuguese colony in Goa was less than 100 kilometers, and the area under the jurisdiction of the people was indeed much larger than the place under the jurisdiction of the governor of Goa.

As for the strength of the army, they can't compare with others, because their total population in Portugal is only more than one million, and the population of the Ming Empire is rumored to be hundreds of millions, even if they Portugal recruit all the people who can be recruited to fight, they can recruit tens of thousands of horses at most, and there are tens of thousands of horses under the command of a general soldier!

Well, they can't compare with others, and perhaps there is some truth in the fact that His Excellency the Governor made him stand and speak.
