Xiao Kaifeng took five team members to drive the boat to the "unicorn", and was unloading the cargo, and the sling springboard was still there.

Another speedboat docked in a blink of an eye, but Lin Xiao and Li Tao and the other five people went to the dock and faced the kneeling crowd.

Wilnandez's blue eyes were full of doubt and fear when he saw the boat speeding with a roar, especially when the people above got off the boat and headed straight for his battleship, he knew it was going to be bad.

On this voyage to make a fortune, he only brought a total of less than 500 sailors, and before he reached Dayuan, more than 200 died along the way, and when he returned to Macau, he bought 50 sailors in Macao, barely filling up 300 people.

In this era, stinking Europeans sailed to the sea, and the mortality rate of sailors was very high due to threats such as hunger, disease, and piracy. Magellan's fleet, which completed its first circumnavigation of the world in the 16th century, had 234 men when it sailed from Spain in September 1519 and only 18 men left when it returned to Spain in September 1522.

Now, almost all of his crew are hanging out on the shore, with less than 20 people, including cooks and priests, and dozens of cannons on board are all furnished.

There is another ulterior reason for taking only 300 sailors on the road: the bottom bilge of the ship holds 500 "piglets" who have taken over from the captain.

In addition to bringing a quantity of wool and sheepskins to be sold to Canton and Macao, and a large quantity of raw silk, porcelain, silk, and spices to be sold in Europe, Vernandez had a more important task, which was to go to Dayuan to bring back a large amount of gold and silver for the Dutch East India Company.

Unexpectedly, the governor gave him an additional batch of "piglets". The governor ordered that these were prisoners of war of the Ming army, and asked the "unicorns" to set off for the New World of South America immediately after returning to Europe, and escort all these "piglets" there to grow rubber.

Despite the long distance and small crew, Wilnandez took the plunge and took the plunge. For this reason, I had no choice but to buy less tea and porcelain.

In fact, in this era, Europeans already knew about the Pacific shipping route between Asia and the New World of America. But the Pacific Ocean is so big that it takes at least 100 days to cross it without any stops, which is very difficult. Therefore, even if it is much closer to Africa and Europe to the Americas, few people in this era are willing to take this route alone.

……

"Arise all of you, and call your leaders." On the dock, Lin Xiao, who was heavily armed, said to a group of kneeling people.

"Below, under the Propaganda Department of the Old Port of the Ming Dynasty, there are 100 households in the city gate of Manraga...... The descendants of Shi Zhaoxiang. Dare to ask your lord, is it the messenger of the Ming Dynasty? Shi Zhaoxiang took a few steps and bowed in response.

Lin Xiao glanced at Shi Zhaoxiang, this is a young man in his twenties, not tall but very sturdy, with a hint of shrewdness in his honest appearance, his square face is dark and red, and he looks like a person who has been running around the dock all year round.

"You tell them all to get up, and we will speak alone."

"Yes." Shi Zhaoxiang responded, turned around and shouted:

"You all get up, go to the side and wait, the Ming envoy is here, everyone will not have to be afraid in the future."

Although the person who came was dressed very strangely, Shi Zhaoxiang still hoped in his heart that he was the messenger of the Ming Dynasty who came to support him. The Chinese here live ...... It's so bitter!

Since Zheng He stopped going to the West, soon the old port of Srivijaya was invaded by Majapahit, and even the second sister Shi of the old port was driven to a place called Xincun in Java, and it has been 200 years since the Ming envoy came.

The whole of Sumatra, as well as Manchuria, was occupied by the barbarians, and many Chinese had to flee to Temasek, the last gathering place, to fight the Sultans of Johor with the sieges and warehouses that Zheng He had built here.

Temasek fell and recovered several times until more than 30 years ago, when the Western Francophiles captured Temasek with firearms, destroyed the city barriers, took over the port and kept people in charge, and drove the Chinese and local natives to work as coolies and leave them to fend for themselves.

Temasek Baihu has also been wiped out a long time ago, but the local Chinese have elected the descendants of the Shi family as the leader for generations, until Shi Zhaoxiang has been passed down for seven or eight generations, but there are no soldiers under him for a long time, and Shi Zhaoxiang can only be regarded as an overseas Chinese leader.

Shi Zhaoxiang had never met the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, and he only knew a few words about the situation of the Ming Dynasty from the merchant ships and refugees.

"Master Shi, is your family's Baihu Seal still there?" Lin Xiao knew that the military household of the Ming Dynasty was hereditary.

"Yes." Despite never being appointed, the official seal was handed down.

"Dare to ask Lord Shi, what year is it?"

"This, it should be the twenty-third year of Chongzhen, March 18." Shi Zhaoxiang's back was sweating, and he asked what he was doing? Don't you know? "However, I have heard that the thieves have committed rebellion, and Your Majesty has already done it."

"Therefore the lowly office does not know the name of the holy year of the present day." Shi Zhaoxiang wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Belch...... Lin Xiao was dumbfounded when he heard this.

In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the emperor hanged himself, where did he come from twenty-three years? Which emperor of Nanming should be supporting the situation at present?

couldn't turn his mind for a while, so Lin Xiao deliberately diverted the topic:

"Lord Shi, I don't hide it, I am not a messenger of the Ming Dynasty, but a remnant of the Great Song Dynasty of the previous dynasty, when the ancestors went to the West, wandered and moved to the outer seas of heaven thousands of miles away, because of chance, to create a new type of firearms, but was envied by hundreds of times more powerful neighbors than me, and was wiped out. The rest of us were lucky enough to escape, and because there was no place to stand, we wanted to bring new firearms back to our homeland to serve. ”

"Now passing by here, I am shocked to see my compatriots being oppressed overseas, sigh at the hardships of sentient beings to make a living, and am willing to help my compatriots, what do you think?"

"Huh?"

Shi Zhaoxiang looked at Lin Xiao with resentment, and said angrily after a while: "Could it be that the distinguished guest is here for recreation?" ”

"Lord Shi, please calm your anger, don't look at the small number of us and others, those Yangyi seem to be fierce, but they look like local chickens and tile dogs." Lin Xiao smiled and waved his hand and said:

"If you have your permission, I can destroy this fang in the blink of an eye."

Gone in the blink of an eye?

Just as Shi Zhaoxiang's face was full of astonishment, Wilnandez's scolding voice came from his ears.

"Who are you? How dare you rob my ship? Vernandez finally reacted, drew his handcuff and saber from his waist, and ran to the docks with a shout.

In the distance, there was a loud noise, and a group of people rushed out of the street, there were hundreds of people, and the musketeers rushed in front, and more people in the back were screaming with sharp knives and short swords, but it was Wilnandez's men who heard the wind.

Lin Xiao stared at the person who came fixedly, and his face was light and light.

Behind Lin Xiao, the three special combat team members stood up like javelins.

"I'm Han, who are you?" Li Tao scolded loudly.

"You Han people, aren't you afraid of the guns of our warriors of the Netherlands?" Wilnandez raised the short gun in his hand, and his own brigade came, and Wilnandez regained his spirits.

"Dutch? You're from the Seniors, aren't you? Lin Xiao shouted in a cruel voice, "You and others have been stealing for more than 20 years, and they have done everything they have done to take advantage of and rob, and how many people of the Ming Dynasty have been bloodily slaughtered by you. ”

I can't remember the emperor's year name, the history of the Dutch forcibly occupying Taiwan, but Lin Xiao knows it.
