Volume 18 Chapter 17 The Son of the World Descends, and the Allies Greet Him

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, the last day before the New Year's Festival, from the new Kyushu in the north to the old port in the south, from the east to the east to Kandahar in the west, the whole Ming Dynasty was full of joy, whether it was the common people or the officials and businessmen, almost everyone was busy pasting the Spring Festival couplets and doing New Year's goods.

Even most of the vassal states inherited the customs of the Ming Dynasty, and every house was decorated with lanterns and festives everywhere.

However, at this time, the Eurasian City at the entrance of the Eurasian Canal has no New Year's atmosphere at all, not that they are alone overseas for the New Year, last year it was also full of lights and lively, but this year's situation is different, the anti-Habsburg alliance launched a surprise attack on the allies, as the closest Ming army base to the European continent, the soldiers here are unable to celebrate the New Year.

At this day, the soldiers of the Ming army stationed in the forts suddenly swarmed out of the forts, lined up in a neat queue and rushed to the port, and all the merchant ships of merchants from various countries were expelled to the north bank of the canal, and the entire port was tightly surrounded.

What is this Ming army going to do? It's just a matter of not resting for the New Year, and I went to the port to blow the wind, is it sick!

Of course, they are not sick, the blockade of the port is because there is a big man coming, this is not Zheng Xing, commander of the South China Sea fleet, Li Mingfu, commander of the Wuwei Army, the Grand Vizier Suyman of the Ottoman Empire, Prime Minister of the Portuguese Cabinet Shvera, and Spanish Admiral Oquindo all stood respectfully in the port, waiting for the arrival of this big man.

This formation is really a bit scary, so many dignitaries of the Ming Habsburg Alliance greeted together, could it be His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire!

Naturally, it was not His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire, but the younger brother of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire, the prince of Zhennan, and the generalissimo Zheng Chenggong.

Just after noon, a black line suddenly appeared on the sea in the distance, and slowly, this black line became thicker and thicker, and many people on the north shore couldn't help but take out their binoculars and look at the black line.

Immediately afterwards, there was an exclamation on the north shore, and as the telescope passed, the exclamation grew louder and louder, and finally even the sound of the waves was suppressed.

Everyone knows that the black line on the sea surface means that a large fleet is approaching, but they didn't expect that the scale of this fleet is so large, you can see from the telescope, there are definitely no less than a thousand ships coming, and all of them are warships!

At the front of the fleet there are four outrageous warships, looking at that volume, everyone on the earth knows that it is the fortune ship giant ship of the Ming Empire!

These traders heard some time ago that Spain, Portugal and other European powers were involved, and they suffered a big loss, and they were all beaten out of the sea, and everyone was speculating whether the Ming Empire would send troops to help.

Some people guess that the Ming Empire will not care, because the navies of Spain and Portugal have been disabled, proving that the naval strength of other European continental powers is not weak, if the Ming Empire comes to help, whether it can win or not, not to mention, the losses are certain, who will put themselves in for the sake of allies?

Some people also guess that the Ming Empire will take care of it, because His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire is a well-known good person, and he has nothing to say about his allies, and now that his allies are being bullied, he will definitely not stand idly by.

Well, the latter part of the people guessed correctly, because the fleet of the Ming Empire has come, but they didn't expect the Ming Empire to send so many warships, more than a thousand warships, this is already all the warships of the Ming Empire, in order to help the allies, they actually sent all the navies, this Ming Empire Emperor is really a good person!

Did Zhu Cijiong send all the warships? Of course not, he only sent three fleets, six hundred super battleships, and six hundred, which were the armed ships of the Ming Royal Shipping Company, which were used to transport the army and grain and grass.

According to Zheng Chenggong's tactics, there was actually not much need for troops in the early stage, so in the end, Zhu Cijiong only transferred the Beiyang Naval Division, the Nanyang Naval Division and the East China Sea Fleet to support this time, and the army only sent three corps, namely the Guanning Army, the Dongjiang Army and the Dingliao Army.

Zheng Chenggong was standing on the bow of the Chenggong with Huang Long, Zheng Zhihu, Cao Wenzhao and other generals at this time and looking ahead, he saw that the port was approaching, and immediately ordered: "Order, all super battleships and armed ships will sail into the Eurasian Canal, in a single formation, docked along the right side of the canal, and all treasure ships and giant ships will enter the port with the flagship." “

The flag-bearer behind him began to wave the command flag, and the flag-bearer on the mast immediately sounded the same flag to inform the battleships behind him, and the order was quickly passed to the rear, and soon the fleet was divided into two, and the four treasure ships went straight to the harbor, while the other warships began to line up in a single line and enter the canal.

Now the traders who like to watch the warships are blessed, the Ming warships hit them one by one not far in front of them, neat and tidy, endless, how to look at it, how to look at it.

Some good people even began to count one by one, wanting to see how many warships the Ming army had sent, which would take at least a few hours, but they were not bored at all, but they talked with the people around them and were excited.

In the port, Schvera and Okundo were equally excited, coming, the support of the Ming army finally came, and it was not perfunctory at all, the dense battleship told them that this time His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire really went all out to help!

The treasure ship finally landed, the hanging ladder was lowered, and Zheng Chenggong led a group of senior generals to the dock slowly, the momentum was not even inferior to Zhu Cijiong, but no one in the port shouted Long live.

Shi Weila knew that the young man in front of him was the closest brother of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire, and His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire favored him, even more than Prince Xin, and it can be seen from his position that he was the generalissimo of the Ming Empire Navy before he was twenty years old, holding the most powerful navy in the world.

In the face of such a favored minister of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire, and can even be said to be the number two person in the Ming Empire, Shi Weila's talent for patting on the back was revealed again, Li Mingfu and Zheng Xing just finished saluting, he immediately came up, respectfully stroked his chest, and then flattered: "His Royal Highness, I haven't seen you for a long time, thank you for leading the army to support, we will never forget the kindness of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire and you." “

This sycophant kung fu is getting better and better, Zheng Chenggong smiled when he heard this, and even stepped forward to hold his hand and said cordially: "Count Shivera, I haven't seen you for a long time, our Emperor His Majesty said that the Ming Empire absolutely keeps its promises, abides by the covenant, and helps its allies That's what it should be, you're welcome, you're welcome." “

Later, Suyman and Okundo were led by Schwila, and they had to follow the respectful step forward to compliment and thank, and the status of the boss of the ally was more and more solid.
