Chapter 103: Reinforcements Arrive

Some people also pointed to leave this place as soon as possible, although the inventory on the street is still very strict, but there are always people who have a way to come to the port quietly, but when they see the Ming warships cruising in the port, they are dumbfounded, this is ...... I can't even walk.

Gao Han was not idle, he was interrogating that Benjamin.

The Far East Fleet of the Kingdom of Portugal, it is not a good way to hear it, he has to understand the intentions of the other party as soon as possible, the scale, and even all kinds of weapons, as for this Benjamin came to Haojing Ao, it is obviously not just to come here to relax, not to insult Gao Han's IQ so much, this guy must have a purpose here, all this, it has to be slowly pulled out of this guy's mouth.

This matter, to be honest, really has little to do with Gao Han's duties as a wind watcher, but who called him a party, and besides, if he doesn't die, he is a person from Jinyiwei, this matter, even if anyone comes, can't accuse him of meddling wrongly.

There are many ways for Jinyiwei to torture prisoners, and Nanya is the best in Jinyiwei who is good at torture, Gao Han's subordinates, not to mention anything else, in Nanya's stay for more than half a year, it can be regarded as a specialization in the art industry, and many people have learned a lot.

In the past, when the people of the Chamber of Commerce came to ask for people, they really couldn't ask anything in a short time, but now they are free, but they have time to soak Benjamin.

Don't look at Benjamin's tall and arrogant bull, but a few of Jinyiwei's small methods have come out, this guy named Benjamin, I can't wait to explain it even when he wetted the bed when he was a child, when it comes to torture culture, these barbarians are really not as good as my dignified Heavenly Empire. Almost in a short morning, Gao Han said everything that Benjamin knew, and as for what he didn't know, it was limited to his low status and no way to know.

Even this news he knew was enough to be shocked.

The Portuguese Far East Fleet, large and small, has eight galleons, that is, the Spanish galleon-Galleon (Galleon), this kind of ship, is the main warship of the Spanish Armada, Portugal and Spain once established the United Kingdom, so the Portuguese Navy is basically the same as the Spanish Navy in this regard.

The most striking feature of this type of capital ship is the towering bow and stern deck, and when two ships get stuck side by side in war, it has the advantage of being able to easily board enemy ships, and it usually has two to three decks, and its ships are equipped with 50-pound cannonballs, which generally have a range of 300 meters, and even 400 meters.

Moreover, compared with ordinary armed merchant ships, this purely military warship has a porthole, that is, a window on the side of the ship, on which there is a window open with a noose, and the cannon can be fired from the lower deck of the ship. This kind of ship's gunwald gun setting can make the warship fire in almost any direction, and the warships of the Ming Dynasty have not met such requirements at all until now.

Let's put it this way, the warships of the Ming Dynasty, especially the naval division along the coast of Guangdong and Fujian, most of the main warships are lucky ships or rush ships, because the combat purpose of the Daming naval division is mainly to patrol the coastal waters, so the size of the warships is developing towards small, and the length of the hull is rarely more than ten zhang, and these Spanish galleons, from Benjamin's mouth, their flagships are a hundred feet long, forty feet wide, and most of the other ships are about eighty or ninety feet, compared to the Ming warships, these galleons, It's already a Big Mac.

Moreover, in terms of firepower, the bow guns, deck guns, stern guns, and gunwales equipped on these galleons are even more difficult for the Ming warships to catch up, and its largest cannon is full of fifty pounds, in the Ming Dynasty, even the shore defense artillery can not find a fifty-pound cannon, and the three-pound and five-pound guns equipped on the warships are already sharp weapons.

Whether it is the scale, size, firepower or even the combat effectiveness of the crew, there is a huge gap between the Ming sailors and the other party, this Far East Fleet of the Kingdom of Portugal was sent out, no matter what idea they have and what strategic intentions they have, now, in the face of such a comparison of strength, their strategic intentions, the possibility of realization is very large.

Not to mention whether the Ming court has any intention of becoming enemies with them, even if the Ming court goes to war with them, the balance of victory will be much more inclined towards them.

As for Benjamin's task, Gao Han really got it right, as the outpost of the Kingdom of Portugal in the Far East, although there has always been a semi-official Victor Chamber of Commerce in the control, but obviously, the commander of this Far East Fleet is very dissatisfied with the Victor Chamber of Commerce's control over this place, they urgently need a fixed port and supply base, and if Haojingao becomes their forward base, it will undoubtedly be of great help to them to expand their power in the East.

This cargo is a liaison officer between the fleet and the Chamber of Commerce, a liaison officer who got into trouble when he went ashore and caused the Victor Chamber of Commerce to be wiped out.

In the afternoon, reinforcements from other guards also came to Haojingao, when the wind watcher was attacked in Haojingao, Xiangshan County did not dare to conceal it and not report, even if the government system had made the fastest response, and mobilized nearby reinforcements to suppress the "rebellion" in Haojingao, these reinforcements arrived almost until dark.

However, this is enough, although there are thousands of people gathered in Haojing Ao, most of them are ordinary scattered adventurers, and there is only one Victor Chamber of Commerce that is really organized and large-scale, and in the early morning, under the order of Gao Han, almost regardless of the casualties, the camp of the Victor Chamber of Commerce was conquered, and then the scattered people were checked and screened, and the resistance encountered was minimal.

Fan people also need the backbone, as the backbone of the collapse of the Victor Chamber of Commerce, these people are suddenly at a loss, they can't fight and fight, they can't escape and escape, they don't obey, are they waiting for death?

For the rescue operation of the water division, the governor from the governor's mansion gave great affirmation, and when he summoned the water division guerrilla Liu Xing, even the two put aside their official affairs and talked for a while, both in the army, who did not have a boss and subordinates, the two found a few colleagues and friends who could speak together, and they immediately became closer.

I'm afraid to think about it, if this Guanfeng makes him die in Haojingao, and no matter what happens to the people here, the officialdom in Guangdong is definitely a huge earthquake, and even the Son of Heaven who is far away in the capital has a huge prejudice against Guangdong, after all, this is the first time that the new forces representing the Son of Heaven have landed in Guangdong, and if this is the case, I don't know how many pots are estimated to be deducted as if they don't want money.
