Min Da swept his eyes over and found that there were a total of four ships here, although he was observing and calculating in his heart, but Min Da's face did not show the slightest expression, but loudly beckoned his men to move the goods.

On the beach not far away, a group of men in black quietly went into the water.

With reeds in their mouths, their bodies sank rapidly, and then vanished. This is the water ghosts mobilized by Dong Chengwu, although there are not many of them, but they are quiet, and their role is to be responsible for the vigilance in the sea.

Halfway through the move, there was a sudden shout of killing all around, and then countless people rushed towards this side.

Everyone was taken aback, especially those Hongyi people, who picked up their firearms and were about to shoot, but before they could shoot, Min Da and the others did it. They pulled out their daggers from behind them and rushed towards the Hongyi.

Min Dayi kicked the translator to the ground, reached out and grabbed the leading Hongyiren, and before he could react, he pushed his chin with a palm, and the Hongyiren shook his head and fell to the ground in an instant.

Seeing that the Hongyi people next to him were about to shoot, Min Da went up and kicked him at three points below his umbilicus, and after a scream, the other party fell to the ground like a prawn.

"Get on the boat, don't let them take the board!" After Min shouted, he rushed towards a ship first, and at this time, behind Min Da, the sound of fire guns sounded, as if popping beans.

I saw a Ming army walking forward with a fire gun, three rows of fire, the first row of firing was completed, and the second row took a step forward, advancing alternately.

Although they were shooting forward, their speed was not slow at all, and they were not cluttered at all in the darkness. The Hongyi man standing at the bow of the boat was instantly stunned and fell into the water screaming.

They couldn't care about taking the planks anymore, and even if they weren't hit, they didn't dare to stay outside.

"Hou Ye's musket team is really breathtaking." Xu De looked at this scene and said with a sigh.

Qi Jiguang stroked his beard with a smile, this time all these people he brought were all horsemen, and those who could be knighted in Beijing were the best of the best. Each one of them is skilled in arching horses, and the key is that the fire gun must be good.

Fast reloading, boldness, and good discipline, if the Beijing camp is the elite, then the cavalry in the Beijing camp is the elite of the elite.

Soon the Ming army rushed to the vicinity of the ship's board, and then rushed directly to the boat, and it was not easy to use the fire gun on the boat, and the Ming army with knives was not merciless at all, especially in the northwest they tasted the sweetness.

A person's head is forty taels, that's all money, if it weren't for the order of the marquis of their own family not to kill them all, they would be eager to kill all these Hongyi people, cut off all the heads and take them back for silver.

The battle didn't last long, he was completely prepared to fight the unprepared Hongyi, or the elite under Qi Jiguang, if this was in a stalemate, then Daming wouldn't have to fight. All the Hongyi on the ship were crushed, and the dead were dragged down by the corpses.

"Leave a team to guard the boat, and the others will close!" Qi Jiguang walked around the battlefield and nodded with satisfaction.

Cleaning the battlefield and arranging guards naturally didn't have to worry about the three bosses, and after arranging for their subordinates to do it, they went back together. The operation went so smoothly that all three of them were in a very good mood.

As for the interrogation of Hongyi, they are not in a hurry, they can just catch it.

At dawn the next day, several people brought Hongyi up, but the language was not clear, and at the same time, the translator was brought up. Of course, it was this translator who was the first to be interrogated.

This time, Zhao Lian, Xu De, and Dong Chengwu were all there, and Qi Jiguang was also on the side, and the presiding judge was Zhao Lian.

Glancing at the thin man who pressed up, Zhao Lian slapped the shocked wood and said loudly: "What is your name, where are you, what kind of business do you do, and you haven't recruited it from the truth, if you say half a lie, this official will definitely be punished." ”

The thin man was suddenly startled, and fell to his knees with a thud.

"Back to adults, villains Park Zhengjin, North Koreans." The thin man hurriedly said: "The villain is just a translator for those Hongyi people, what they do has nothing to do with the villain, the adults know it!" ”

Zhao Lian's expression eased slightly, and then asked lightly: "North Koreans, right!" ”

"Yes, yes, little North Koreans." Park Zhengjin hurriedly spoke.

Zhao Liancai didn't believe that he was a North Korean, but he didn't bother to expose it, if he really said that he was a Ming person, it would be a little embarrassing. North Koreans are North Koreans, and Zhao Lian doesn't care where he is from, he cares about these Hongyi people.

"This official asks you, where do these Hongyi people come from?" After Zhao Lian finished asking, he scolded loudly: "If you dare to tell a lie, you will be punished." ”

"The villain doesn't dare, the villain doesn't dare!" Park Zhengjin hurriedly said: "They are from Penghu. ”

Others didn't feel it, but Qi Jiguang on the side asked loudly: "The Hongyi people occupy Penghu?" ”

Qi Jiguang not only knows this place in Penghu, but also is very familiar with it, originally Penghu had an inspection department, but it was later abolished. Until the Jiajing period, Yu Dayou was stationed in Penghu to pay the pirates and pirates, and the Penghu Inspection Department was re-established, but after Yu Dayou left office, the Inspection Department was also abolished.

Although the Penghu Inspection Division was abolished, Penghu was the place of the Ming Dynasty, and if it was occupied by the Hongyi people, Qi Jiguang felt that he had to take it back.

Park Zhengjin hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, the Hongyi people just stopped there, and the little ones heard that they were going to fight with the Japanese Kou." It seems that the Japanese are going south, and there is a conflict with the Hongyi people. ”

Woko?

Qi Jiguang frowned, how could there be any such thing as a widow?

"Father-in-law Xu, is there any news from the inner factory?" Qi Jiguang turned his head to look at Xu De, and asked with a serious face, whether it is the Japanese going south or the Hongyi people occupying Penghu, this is a big event and cannot be underestimated.

Xu De's face also became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Our family doesn't know, wait for our family to call someone!" As he spoke, he turned his head to the little eunuch who was waiting beside him and said, "Go and find Minda for our family." ”

Seeing that Qi Jiguang didn't mean to continue asking, Zhao Lian continued to ask: "What are these Hongyi people doing when they come to Daming?" ”

Park Zhengjin is about to cry, do you still need to ask? This is the lice on the top of the bald man's head, obviously, they are here to do business! However, Park Zhengjin didn't dare to say this, and hurriedly said: "The Hongyi people are here to do business, but the Yuegang side is occupied by the Francois people, and they don't dare to come over." ”

"Doing business?" Zhao Lian snorted coldly: "This official has never seen such a business!" ”

Regarding Zhao Lian's words, Park Zhengjin did not dare to refute them, and knelt on the ground without saying a word.

In fact, it didn't make much sense when the interrogation came, but Zhao Lian still pressed the leader of the Hongyi people, and then interrogated, and the news he got was similar to what Park Zhengjin said.

It's just that he knows more than Park Zhengjin, and it is not the Hongyi people who want to fight with the Wa Kingdom, but the Franji people. Although they are Hongyi, they are only merchants, not colonists.

Here Zhao Lian was confused and wanted to figure out what was going on, and over there Qi Jiguang was also being questioned by a person, who was found by Fujian University.

"What's your name?" Looking at the other party, Qi Jiguang asked directly.

"Back to Master Hou, villain Chen San!" The person who came said respectfully, this is a man in his thirties, and he should be a businessman when he looks dressed. It's just that compared with the local merchants in Fujian, he seems to be more vicissitudes, and there are traces left by running to the sea.

In fact, this person was found by Fujian University from Yuegang, and he knew these Yangyi people best.

Qi Jiguang nodded, and then said, "Then you and Benhou will talk about the Yangyi people." ”

Chen San didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly bowed down and asked, "What do you want to know?" ”

"Let's talk about where these foreigners came from." Qi Jiguang thought for a while and said.

"If you want to talk about these foreigners, you have to start with the Francos, because they were the first to arrive here, but we call them Francos, in fact, they are from a country called Portugal."

"They are the ones who are in Haojiang now, and we are most familiar with them."

"The big Franc is from a country called Spain, Spain and Portugal are not far from each other, and they are about the same, let's call the Spaniards the big Franc man, and the Portuguese the little Franc man."

"What about the Hongyi?" Qi Jiguang nodded, and then asked.

Chen San didn't expect Qi Jiguang to ask about the Hongyi people, but he still said: "The Hongyi people were originally a nation under the rule of the Spaniards, and later they had a war with the Spaniards, and there was a situation of separation. ”

"Although the Hongyi people came to our side to do business, they don't have much strength."

Xu De interjected at this time: "Didn't you say that the Hongyi people want to fight with the Japanese Kou? ”

Chen San was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Father-in-law, how can the Hongyi people have the strength to fight with the Japanese Kou, but the little one has heard some rumors in this regard, it seems that the warships of the Japanese Kingdom came south and fought with the Portuguese a few times. ”

In fact, if this was reported to Zhu Yijun, Zhu Yijun would definitely know what was going on.

At this time, the Dutch had just become independent for a few years, they had defeated the Spaniards, and established strongholds and colonies all over the world, but their tentacles had not yet reached the Asian side, and they had not even crossed the Cape of Good Hope.

Most of the Hongyi people who came over were armed merchant ships, or pirates.

Although these people are said to be strong, in the face of Spaniards and Portuguese, they are basically bullies. Coupled with the Wa Kingdom and Li Dan, they can only do smuggling and smuggling, and they have to pay protection fees.

At this time, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who had unified the Wa Kingdom, was no longer satisfied with hegemony in the Wa Kingdom, but wanted to build a great Asian empire.

On land, they were preparing to hoard supplies to attack Korea, and then invade the Ming Dynasty, and at sea they were preparing to go south and occupy Penghu, which could invade the Ming Dynasty by sea, or gain benefits through sea trade, and further occupied India.

It can be said that Toyotomi Hideyoshi's idea is very big, but the Wa Kingdom of this era does not have this kind of strength at all.

It was not until modern times that the Wa Kingdom after the Meiji Restoration had such strength, and it was Toyotomi Hideyoshi who implemented the strategy they formulated. Invade Korea on land, then attack China, occupy Penghu Taiwan by sea, and then attack the Philippines and India.

In this era, the idea of building an Asian power was imprinted in the minds of the Japanese people.

The spirit of craftsmanship passed down from generation to generation made the Japanese people not forget these, and once the capable people ascended to the throne, they thought about how to realize the great ideals that Toyotomi Hideyoshi failed to achieve, just as the Chinese Son of Heaven wanted to compete with the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty.

The Dutch had risen strongly in Europe, and the Spaniards and Portuguese could not do anything with them.

It's just that the Dutch have only been rising for a short time, and their strength is not enough to support a huge global colony. It's just that they have been working hard for this, and have been opening up routes to the east, and for this reason they have nothing to do with the Portuguese and the Spaniards.

Qi Jiguang and Xu De roughly figured out what was going on, so they let Min Da Chen San take them away.

"Father-in-law Xu, I plan to write a note to Your Majesty about this matter first, and when I return to Beijing in the future, I will show Your Majesty in person." Qi Jiguang looked at Xu De and spoke.

"No problem!" Xu De nodded and said with a smile: "Our family supports Master Hou." ”

At this time, a little eunuch walked in from outside, he came to Xu De's side, and whispered: "Father-in-law, Wang An is back!" ”

Xu De was stunned, Wang An is back?

When he was in Nanjing, Xu De sent his godson Wang An to Haojiang to investigate the affairs of the Hongyi people. Unexpectedly, the matter was found out in Fujian, Wang Anbai took a trip, but Xu De also knew his godson's ability, and he would never come back empty-handed.

Hearing that Wang An was back, Xu De was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and let him in." ”

Seeing Xu De so happy, Qi Jiguang said with a smile: "What makes my father-in-law smile so much?" ”

"Don't hide it from the Hou Ye, when I was in Nanjing, our family sent someone to Haojiang in order to find out about these foreigners." Speaking of this, Xu De also showed a smile on his face: "Now that people are back, I believe there will be a harvest." ”

"I see!" Qi Jiguang nodded, and then said with a smile: "This is good news. ”

After a short time, Wang An walked in from outside, bowed down and said, "The child has seen his godfather and the Marquis of Dingbei." ”

Xu De looked at Wang An, smiled and waved his hand and said, "Is this trip going well?" ”

"Back to godfather, it's going well!" Wang An said with a smile: "After the child arrived in Haojiang, he quickly contacted our people, and this time he brought back a lot of information about the Portuguese and Spaniards. ”

Xu De nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Okay, very good, I know that you will not disappoint our family." ”

Qi Jiguang looked at Wang An, it was really time to come back, he was lacking information in this regard.
