Convinced, completely convinced!

Zheng Zhilong finally knew that the "King of Hanjiang County" did not cheat him, and he didn't need to sail far to gain a foothold in "Xingdao", he just had to wait for the rabbit, and his own warships and armed merchant ships were sent to the door.

But in addition to being excited and excited, Zheng Zhilong's heart was not steady, it was obvious that with the increase in the number of warships and merchant ships of the Xiyi countries missing in this sea area, sooner or later it would be revealed who was the culprit.

"Star Island" has become the target of public criticism, and it is very likely that it will be attacked by the Xiyi army in turn.

Naval warfare in this era was characteristic, because the main structure of the warships was made of wood, and the vast majority of enemy ships would not sink to the bottom of the sea after bombarding each other to achieve victory.

In order to capture more enemy ships, the Spaniards often carried a large number of infantry in broadside battles.

Therefore, the victorious side in the naval battle captured far more warships than the lost warships, and the strong will always be strong.

Zheng Zhilong thought that although he had purchased seven warships of the Longwu Naval Division and obtained more than a dozen Xiyi deck warships, he would definitely not be able to reach the strength to sweep Xiyi in the Strait of Malacca.

If you lose the naval battle, the loss of warships is unpredictable, and you will enter a vicious circle, and the more you fight, the weaker you will become, and finally you will be driven out of this sea area by Xiyi.

It is urgent to build the "sea city" into an impregnable fortress, and it is only a matter of time to strengthen the artillery fire of the warships.

Even so, Zheng Zhilong still had no bottom in his heart, and he begged Huang Yong to leave a few warships to strengthen the cruise around "Star Island" anyway.

The Great War Ships with a displacement of one or two thousand tons of the Long Wu Naval Division were Zheng Zhilong's reliance, and he believed that as long as there were a few such giants equipped with 70 to 120 guns, plus 100 or so of the Zheng family's best warships, they could at least be invincible.

Huang Yong has been in charge of the water master for eight or nine years, and he has rich experience, so he can see the great advantages of being based on "Xingdao", and he can also predict that the Xiyi countries and the nearby indigenous countries that have reacted will not be able to let it develop.

In the future, there will be countless enemies to face here, and the only way to do this is to have overwhelming force to defeat the countries of the West and sit down to negotiate, obediently pay protection money, and pass safely.

Huang Yong decided to leave nine battleships and two thousand marines under Huang Chunsheng's command, and he returned with eighteen battleships and more than 30 captured warships and armed merchant ships, and Zheng Zhilong's eighty armed merchant ships accompanied him.

With the nine advanced warships of the Longwu Naval Division equipped with a total of 700 large and small artillery, and more than 100 large and small warships of Zheng Zhilong, it is great to be able to rob the warships and armed merchant ships of other countries that are constantly coming and going while cutting off the Strait of Malacca!

A fleet of more than 100 ships sailed mightily on the Gulf of Siam, and the civil and military generals of the Ayutthaya Kingdom and the Donghu Kingdom all thought that foreign enemies were coming, and for a time there was a lot of noise.

Unexpectedly, this huge fleet came from the Celestial Empire, and it came for trade, not to start a war.

In order not to anger the Ming Dynasty, two trade agreements were signed successively, and a large number of resources and medicinal materials such as cotton, rice, tin, jade, copper, lead, nickel, rhino horn, pepper, and agarwood were purchased.

When Huang Yong led the fleet back, he returned with a full load.

Huang Chunsheng, who stayed in "Star Island", would not waste his time, and more than 2,000 marines and more than 7,000 private soldiers of the Zheng group began to attack and encroach on the territory of the former Manchurian kingdom.

The Manraka Kingdom is also the Sultan of Malacca, and the king was once canonized by the Yongle Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and it was a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.

More than 100 years ago, the Portuguese invaded the country, and the city of Malacca is still a Portuguese colony.

This small country was weakened, it was a scattered sand, and the armed forces were not worth mentioning, and a few hundred Portuguese defeated them, but the Portuguese were too few to occupy the whole territory.

There are many Han people living abroad, Huang Chunsheng led an army of 10,000 people to advance without massacres, and those who found that they were close to the Han people were given preferential treatment, and organized them to learn the official language of the "Red Banner Army".

Unlike the overseas colonies of the Xiyi countries, which only dispatched a few hundred people at a time, Huang Han made tens of thousands of moves, and the fleet of ships sailing to Central America was as high as seventeen warships, each with a displacement of more than 1,000 tons.

Together with the two battalions of sailors and marines directly led by Huang Yi and Yu Fei, 14,000 soldiers were dispatched from 800 soldiers, and 19 merchant ships, sailors and supply ships carried as many as 8,000 immigrants.

The first trip to the other side of the ocean was the work of more than 22,000 people, with relatively accurate world maps and many nautical charts captured from Xiyi, and disorientation can be ruled out.

Therefore, there is no possibility of failure, and there is great hope for luck and not to cause damage to the ship.

The luck of the fleet of the Longwu Naval Division who crossed the ocean was no worse than Magellan, and the Pacific Ocean gave face, which was really peaceful, and the fleet really discovered Honolulu Island according to the map, and then discovered the entire Hawaiian Islands.

After unloading some of the supplies, leaving behind two marines of the chief naval division, eight hundred emigrants, and three battleships, all the crews who understood that they had approached the American continent set off again for the main destination, the Isthmus of Panama.

By the time they reached what would become Panama, the fleet had been at sea for 100 days, sailing more than 10,000 nautical miles.

At this time, the main colonists of North and South America were Spain, which was defeated by England due to the defeat of the Armada, and Portugal, which was defeated by the Dutch fleet in the Battle of Malacca, and lost its supremacy in the East.

In addition, there are the upstarts of the Netherlands, England, as well as France, Denmark, Italy, and so on.

In fact, these colonists all have a characteristic, the number of troops is insufficient, and organizing a landing battle with a few hundred musketeers can be regarded as launching a big war.

It is not surprising that in the entire history of human civilization, the significance of the Mayflower Convention is almost comparable to that of the British Magna Carta, the American Declaration of Independence, the French Declaration of Human Rights and other documents.

In the forty-eighth year of Wanli, only eighteen years have passed from now, and the "Mayflower", which is famous in later generations, has only set foot on the land of North America with one hundred and two people.

Panama City is located east of the entrance to the Pacific end of the Panama Canal, which is still in its natural state and later ran through the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.

It was a Spanish colony and part of the Viceroyalty of New Spain, which had not yet existed.

Panama was also the starting point and base of the Spanish invasion of the Inca Empire in what is now Peru, and was one of the important trading centers for Europeans in the New World of the Americas.

It sounds like it's powerful, but it's actually a fart, just a paper tiger.

This is not a fool's errand, because the ancient city of Panama built by the Spanish was actually attacked by the English pirate Morgan in the middle of the 17th century, and the pirates ransacked the city and set fire to the whole of Panama City.
