The warships of the Ming Dynasty and the Spanish fleet totaled nearly one hundred and twenty ships, which were arranged on the sea, densely packed and covered a large area of the sea.

Such a scene, some people are in a trance, and it seems that only the Spanish Armada of that year can have such a scene.

Quite a few people whispered, holding binoculars, muttering, not knowing what they were talking about.

In the command room, Zheng Zhilong and Okundo stood side by side, and the two of them held binoculars, their faces gradually cold and solemn.

When the ship arrived at the designated position, Zheng Zhilong put down the binoculars, waved his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Fire!" ”

He said 'fire', not start!

As his words fell, the flag commanders on the Hongwu quickly waved their flags, and then the flag commanders of dozens of large and small ships danced along.

The black cannons raised their heads, and the muzzles of the black holes looked up at the sky.

Bang bang bang

More than a thousand cannons, firing together, rushed to the same place.

The black cannonballs seemed to fill the air, and from a distance, it looked like a huge black iron stream, cutting through an arc and falling towards the tattered ship in the distance.

"Wow, I've never seen such a spectacular scene...... someone exclaimed, as if there was no sound at all in the rumbling cannon.

More people were holding binoculars, staring at the shells, and then looking at the bombarded area.

Boom, boom, boom

A deafening explosion was heard, and I saw that the sea area was flooded with waves, and one by one the wooden boats were blown over, and they were swept into the air with the waves.

More of it was patches of water, the sea was chaotic, the explosions were like thunder, the sea was rolling, and the smoke was rushing into the sky.

"Akito's cannon is indeed ...... longer than ours"

"It's also ...... powerful"

In the interval, someone was shouting loudly, and in an instant it was drowned out by the sound of cannons.

Zheng Zhilong's telescope stared tightly, and both eyes were bulging into the telescope.

Okundo was once again surprised by the power of the Ming Dynasty artillery, with no expression on his face, put down the binoculars, and glanced at Zheng Zhilong faintly.

The artillery of the Ming Dynasty continued, and thousands of cannons continued to be fired, and the entire exercise area was like thunder, endlessly.

Black cannonballs were thrown away, like black dragons in the sky, and they were terrifying.

In the bombed area, the monarch could not see the complete planks of the ship, and the smoke was thick and the fire was like the sea, burning violently on the surface of the sea.

There were three rounds of shelling in total, Zheng Zhilong looked at the sea of fire, his eyes narrowed, his heart was settled, he put down the binoculars, held the knife in his right hand, and there was a surging evil qi on his body.

With such a powerful navy, he didn't believe that the tiny Papal States would dare to disrespect them!

Oquindo looked at the sea of fire, and his usual calm expression slowly sank.

There, with the sea breeze, the waves were raging, and the light of the fire filled the entire sky, as if it could swallow everything!

The sound of the cannon gradually stopped, and the flames in the distance rolled, like monsters, waving their teeth and claws on the sea.

Maynard had already lowered his binoculars, reached out and touched his polished chin, and turned his head to look at the cabin command room.

He was quite proud in his heart, and secretly excited, fortunately he found Zheng Zhilong yesterday, although it was all empty words that didn't want money, but it could be regarded as a cold stove.

The Papal States are kicking the iron plate this time, and I believe that they will soon change their attitude, although Spain has signed various treaties with the Ming Dynasty, but their advantages in the Netherlands, Spain cannot compare!

Maynard's eyes were blazing, as if he had seen the rolling gold coins rushing towards his arms.

Antonio still had his mouth wide open and his face was stunned.

In order to compete with Spain for supremacy, the Frankish kingdom was also developing its navy, but it had been ineffective, and the Spanish armada was destroyed, and France was not very concerned, but this time, he was shocked.

The most frightened was Majdalzini.

He was standing on the watchtower, his hands shaking.

The cardinal beside Majdalzini spoke first, and said, "Your Excellency, this Ming man actually has such a fleet, I'm afraid it's not as good as Spain, right?" ”

Majdalzini's face was calm, his eyes were full of coldness, and he said: "This is only one of them, I heard that they have at least five, although the Ming Kingdom is too far away from us, but ......"

The cardinal leaned over slightly, although Majdalzini did not finish his words, the meaning was very clear, the Ming Dynasty was so powerful, even if it was far away, it was a powerful danger, which could not be ignored, let alone offended.

Majdalzini looked at the sea of fire on the surface of the sea and was silent for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.

Not far from them, John Tang was accompanied by an old man in his seventies and eighties, whispering something.

The old man said: "You're right, we need the friendship of the Ming Dynasty, and Asian affairs can't start with a war." ”

John Tang was overjoyed and said, "What Your Excellency said is true. ”

This is a close friend of the former pope, who has great influence in the Holy See, and his words are more useful than Majdalzini, and the current Pope Innocent X should also be in awe.

These people's conversations were quietly sent to Zheng Zhilong's ears, which made Zheng Zhilong very relieved.

Okundo had calmed down, looked at the sea of fire in the distance, turned to Zheng Zhilong and said, "Zheng, you should have done something, right?" ”

Although the Ming shells had incendiary bombs, it was impossible to burn such a large area on the sea, and Oquindo, as a veteran of the Spanish Navy, could naturally see some clues.

Zheng Zhilong looked at him, laughed, and then strode outside.

As soon as Zheng Zhilong came out, a group of people flocked over, all kinds of enthusiastic words were unprecedented, and some noblewomen even wanted to hug them directly.

Zheng Zhilong was now in the center of the crowd, and after a polite gesture, he invited Maynard, Antonio, Majdalzini and others to the cabin living room and held a formal banquet to entertain these people.

Before, these people were suspicious and tight-lipped about the relationship with Daming, but now, they can basically tell the truth and settle down.

Maynard had burned the cold stove before, but now he was not in a hurry, just said a few compliments, and then smiled silently, and listened to the icing on the cake of the others.

Antonio, the governor of the Franks, was so enthusiastic that he even read a poem about friendship and toasted frequently.

Majdalzini was very quiet, drinking silently, looking up at Zheng Zhilong from time to time, and then glancing at the old man next to Tang Ruowang.

This matter is complicated, he is full of covetousness in his heart for the eastern country, where there is gold everywhere, and the wealth is far greater than that of Europe, but now the situation has changed, not only the Ming Dynasty is strong enough, but also the old guy next to Tang Ruowang.

Majdalzini put down his glass, and he thought to himself, get off the ship as soon as possible, go back to the cathedral, and consult with Pope Innocent X.

Although the outside world said that Innocent X obeyed his words, in fact, he acted according to Innocent X's orders and ideas.

Zheng Zhilong watched coldly, looking at the expressions of a group of people, and was completely relieved in his heart.
