527. Bizarre Attack
After solving Zheng Shibiao's problem and staying on the island for another day and a half, the storm finally passed, and we set out on the journey south again.
In any case, I must go to Malacca to see my uncle, Ye Gong, and Uncle Ye, and by the way, to see the development of the new Igazhong.
It was only a few days' journey from the Riau Islands to Malacca, and after the rainstorm, the calm wind and the gentle north wind propped our fleet south, and by the end of the month, the fleet reached the port of Malacca.
When I sent to Hong Kong, I was very excited, after all, I was about to see my relatives, how could I not be excited?
I stepped out of the captain's quarters and onto the deck almost three feet and two steps, just waiting for the ship to come to shore as soon as I was ready to go ashore.
However, at this moment, I suddenly noticed something unusual!
There are quite a few ships on the docks, all of which are flying the flag of the Blade Sea, but most of them are wounded!
It's all artillery damage!
In particular, one of the medium-sized North Sea transport ships was almost knocked out of the mainmast, and the side of the ship was also beaten into a sieve!
This is definitely a trace of what has been left after a fierce battle!
But now in the Enanyang, who will attack our sword sea?
The Kuhn Chamber of Commerce has been uprooted, and Little Burns is my friend, and apart from us and Little Burns, the other chambers of commerce can only be called fish belly.
Could it be an alien force?
I was deeply puzzled that I would suffer my revenge for attacking the Sea of Blades, there was no doubt about it. The fact that the attackers did this despite knowing this shows that they are absolutely confident that they can effectively respond to my retaliation and attacks!
Who else has such a force in the waters of the South Seas?
Is it a pirate? The kind that grabs a hand and leaves? This is also possible, after all, this kind of guerrilla warfare is the most difficult to deal with. When my huge fleet is out on a cruise, they can hide, scatter, or even hide in the nearby harbor, and I can't do anything about it, can I?
In addition, there is actually another possibility - the other party has control of my movements? , knowing that I have an emergency to go to North America, so I want to take advantage of this opportunity to take the South Seas?
If so, then the identity of this person is quite worth scrutinizing......
Seeing the arrival of my huge fleet, the port of Malacca instantly boiled! Many employees and sailors of the Blade Sea Chamber of Commerce shouted and screamed excitedly when they saw my ship, and many of them shed tears!
I don't know what's going on, these seafarers are generally limited in culture, and I can't say clearly, the best way is to rush to the center of the Chamber of Commerce as soon as possible, meet my uncle, and everything will naturally fall into place.
After more than twenty minutes, I had arrived at the headquarters of Jianhai in the southwest of the port, and I pushed the door into the courtyard, only to see several people arguing.
"Don't stop me! Let me go! The person who walked in front and shouted was Uncle Ye, his face was flushed with anger, and he didn't know what he was going out for. Pulling him behind was his uncle, although his uncle was far thinner than Uncle Ye, but at this time, he was holding Uncle Ye and not letting go, and he kept persuading.
"Lao Ye, don't get excited! Don't get excited! We don't know where the enemy is or who the enemy is, and if you go out to sea to find the enemy so rashly, you will suffer! ”
Uncle Ye didn't listen to this, and shouted indignantly: "In a week, he attacked us three times in a row!" Most of the merchant ships were wounded! These grandsons want to destroy our fleet and dominate the South Seas! Lao Yan, you said, this Nanyang was brought down by Qilan with a knife and a shot, how could I lose it to him? ”
The uncle-in-law persuaded again: "Old Ye, you still have a secret injury, you can't be injured again!" Let's wait, bear with us, and wait for Qilan to come! ”
The two of them were about to go out, I suddenly entered the door, stopped Uncle Ye, who didn't see me clearly and wanted to push me out of the way, grabbed his arm and said loudly: "Uncle, what my uncle said is right, even if this Nanyang is lost, why not?" Let's fight back little by little! But if something goes wrong with you, I won't forgive myself! ”
Uncle Ye and Uncle Yan Lei were startled, and then looked at me intently: "Qilan! ”
The two exclaimed in unison.
"Didn't you say that you went to the Western Ocean, and you were going to a new continent? How did you come to this South Sea? Uncle Ye asked in surprise.
"Did you hear about this side and rushed over? It's just great! That's great! My uncle's face flushed with excitement, and he grabbed my sleeve with his backhand.
"What's going on? Uncle, uncle, tell me, I'll take care of it! I frowned, sent them into the house, and said, "Leave all the big things to me, you don't bother anymore!" Don't bother anymore! ”
The two elders were so excited that they didn't want to, and when they entered the house, the two of them were entangled and explained the ins and outs of the matter.
Recently, a group of raiders hiding in the shadows suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and attacked our trade fleet many times.
Uncle Ye, who had just led the team to sea, thought it was a pirate fleet, and fought back with all his might, and successfully repelled it. Although it has suffered some losses, it has not affected the overall situation.
But on the two subsequent voyages, our fleet was attacked almost as soon as it went out to sea, and the enemy was entrenched in the path of our various routes, as if waiting for us to fall into the net!
Uncle Ye did his best to strengthen his defenses, but the attacks still followed, and in the past week, only four ships have been sunk in our Blade Sea, and countless people have been injured, and almost every one of them has been wounded!
Hearing this, I couldn't help frowning deeply. Judging from what the two elders said, the other party is indeed quite aware of our movements, so he will suddenly attack at a critical moment.
And under the attack for such a long time, the identity has not been revealed, which shows that the strength of the other party is so strong that it can be freely retracted, as long as you want to hide your identity, you can do it without revealing your deeds!
"That's right! Qilan, I heard them speak during the battle yesterday, it was the Spanish you spoke earlier! Uncle Ye suddenly added.
"Spanish?" I couldn't help but be surprised: "Uncle, how do you know?" ”
Uncle Ye covered the old wound on his chest and frowned deeply: "I can speak a few words of English, you said last time that you would use it in business in the future, and I will learn it." The sound of their shouting is also in Western language, but it is all tongue-curling, not English! So I guess, it's the Spanish you spoke! ”
Spanish...... Spanish...... Spanish.......
There are two Spanish-speaking forces in the vast South Seas, one of which is the Kuhn Chamber of Commerce, which has been completely wiped out, and they are the most powerful Spanish power.
Could it be the remnants of the Kuhn Chamber of Commerce? It doesn't seem to be, how can they know about us like this? Is there an inner ghost?
Another Spanish-speaking force was Pence Jr., an ally who flanked me and helped me escape from the Ming Dynasty, and who told me about the Spaniards' invasion of North America, and was a loyal ally of mine.
So who will it be?
My heart is really churning together with 100,000 whys, and I can't wait to find out the attacker hiding in the shadows and ask what is going on!
But after all, this is just the idea of righteous indignation, the real murderer will definitely not be so easy to find, and it must take a lot of effort to get something!
Where do you start? I groaned.
Spanish...... Since it was a Spanish-speaking fleet, Pence Jr. must know about them, so I asked, "Did Pence Jr. ask about it?" Does he know the situation? ”
"The incident happened suddenly, and we didn't have a chance to question him face to face, but we sent several intelligence fleets one after another, and in the end they didn't come back." Uncle Ye replied. Before speaking, he coughed heavily a few times, as if the old wound of the previously injured lung lobe had recurred.
Without regret, he anxiously grabbed Uncle Ye's arm, and said urgently: "Father, your injury ......"
Without waiting for them to ask these useless questions again, I directly reached out and grabbed Uncle Ye's wrist, and the green healing energy gushed in, reaching his injuries, trying my best to treat his hidden injuries.
The situation on Pence Jr.'s side is unknown? What is the reason for this? Could it be that the intelligence detachments were all ambushed? In the vast sea, the other party can find each of our small intelligence fleets with such accuracy?
Odd...... Forget it, no matter what, I have to go find Pence Jr., and I must ask about it!
Originally, I wanted to save time and go straight to the new big * land, but I couldn't think of going around and around, and what I should do is still indispensable!
Thinking of this, I nodded at my uncle-in-law and Uncle Ye and said, "I already have an eyebrow about this matter, uncle, uncle, you guys have a good rest, I'll find out the damn real murderer behind it!" ”
He also said without regrets: "Father, you can recuperate with your uncle, I will do it with Qilan!" How must they eat it, how to spit it out for me twice! ”
Before the two elders could speak, I reached out and pressed heavily on my shoulder: "Brother, you stay in Malacca, you need someone to take care of you here!" I'll just do it! ”
No regret was about to speak, Adicon next to him spoke: "That's right, the captain's arrangement is very reasonable!" Malacca is our key point, and we must have a strong defense, and as for the enemy in the open sea, leave it to me to deal with. The captain should indeed hurry up and go to Little Burns and ask what is the matter! ”
Adicon's idea coincided with mine, and that's exactly what I was going to do. Do not regret staying in Malacca and be the last line of defense; Adikon patrols the open seas to sweep away enemy forces; I went north to Manila to find Pence Jr.
Just as he was about to confirm this plan and immediately prepare to implement it, he heard two voices almost say in unison: "No! Mr! There's a problem here! ”
I looked back suspiciously, but saw that one of the people who spoke was Lakshen, and the other was actually the little kid Zheng Shibiao!
What's the problem? I couldn't help but look at them. What exactly did they find?
