Chapter 191: The Venetian's Bohai Bay

February's upheaval in Constantinople was imminent.

Even the emperor of Constantinople, Constantine XI, gave the order for a curfew. Don't go out on the streets, don't make people feel like you're a Venetian. Otherwise, it may be hunted down by the Han people patrolling everywhere.

The day before yesterday, two fleeing Venetians broke into the home of the Han Chinese and brutally murdered a Han couple. The husband was a Greek from Pontus, and the wife was a hill Jew from the Caucasus. The two of them followed Huang Tianlong to do paper business in Suhumi. They were supposed to come to Constantinople to fight an outpost for the Paper Merchants, but they died because of this!

The Han Chinese in the port of Sofia, especially the merchants, were very angry. They put aside their business and personally patrolled the streets with their families and employees carrying muskets. Thousands searched inside and outside the walls of Constantinople. A kennel bush is not spared. Soon, hundreds of fleeing Venetians were dragged out to punish them.

On the day of their burial, a large number of merchants came to see them off. And they all guaranteed that the paper tycoons of Sukhumi could come to Constantinople at will, and there would be absolutely no stumbling blocks.

The Venetian colony has been washed into white ground. Various places in the house pier are mothballed. The ****** area next door quickly clamped its tail. The shelling the day before yesterday is still fresh in my mind. The crazy Han people parked their fleet in the Golden Horn and fired all kinds of unbearable bullets with their thick naval guns, and none of the Venetian buildings on the shore survived.

While everyone in Constantinople was in danger, in the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea, everyone in Han China was in danger.

"How can we let the Venetians ride on our heads?"

"them! We also have boats! We have people too! ”

......

In many places, people shouted like this.

Today, even two hundred years later, it is common knowledge to requisition merchant ships in battle. However, what Qin Cang rarely did was to encourage people to deal with the Venetians.

Why?

Because there are too many warships......

Chen Jia's navy team has 30 double-deck warships, 67 smaller warships for both purposes, and nearly 100 ships are about to leave the army behind! This is because they are self-financed, and they have been doing business every month to maintain the financial gap.

Since Wang Chang's operation in Sophia Port has been getting better and better, he has also had more than 50 ships for both war and business. And Li Anshi is even more excessive, he has raised hundreds of merchant ships by himself, and his favorite thing to do every day on weekdays is to turn over the account book and calculate how many soldiers and ships he can raise.

"We can't just watch! We also share your Majesty's worries! ”

"That's right, share your Majesty's worries!"

In Sukhumi, Huang Tianlong, Ma Ben and a group of people who started a paper business together got together.

"But how do you divide it? I have heard that the Venetians of Trabzon have been washed and their homes have been torn down. It's ......," someone said hesitantly.

Yes, the sea has long been gone.

"We can chase ships along the sea! I don't know how many Venetians saved in Trabzon for silk porcelain! I know a lot of Venetians are scurrying around the sea right now! ”

"Great idea!"

"Good! I called my guys, there are guns on board! Let's go together! ”

These merchant ships of tens or hundreds of tons began to cruise the seas, everywhere to the trouble of the Venetians!

For the Silk Road, the Venetians attached great importance to the South Black Sea! There are not as many Venetian ships as active here, but they are densely packed.

Today, although the Venetians have copied their hometown on the Black Sea, there are still countless Venetians and their ships still roaming outside. That's a hidden danger.

And someone helped Qin Cang solve this hidden danger!

Merchant!

As soon as Qin Cang gave the order, many merchants drove boats to chase people on the sea. Everyone begs for a life on the Black Sea, and no one is bad at being familiar with hydrology.

Not long after, the Venetian was shut down and beaten by dogs. Constantinople could not escape, and in the Black Sea it was precarious.

On the shore was either the pagan Ottomans or the Han Chinese. The merchant hall and so on have long been unreliable. And the Black Sea is a sea without "pimples". There is not a single island in the sea.

In this way, the Venetians lived like rats on the Black Sea.

The picture returns to the Aegean Sea.

Anshi Lee has been having a headache lately. He divided his ships into groups of twenty ships and went to clear the Venetian ships. But he kept getting cries from the merchants of Patras that they had been robbed shortly after they went out in Patras Bay!

Patras is out of Kefanilla!

Li Anshi finally couldn't help it.

The Spartan company of 3,000 dressed in Han plate armor immediately began to be dispatched to Patras Bay. He was accompanied by five thousand Greek auxiliaries.

Sixty search ships were ordered to be concentrated, and Li Anshi personally came to Port Patras with his belongings!

In Port Patras, Ann Lee was unanimously welcomed by all the merchants. The crazy Venetians decided to play the battle to the end this time. Even the merchants of Sicily and Naples are going to be robbed! Who can stand this!

"Rest assured! I, Anshi Lee, will definitely repel the Venetians quickly! No mercy! ”

Li Anshi did exactly that.

The island of Kefanilla is the domain of the Venetians. Starting from Venice, there are Dalmatia, Corfu, Kephanella in the south, and finally to Colony on the south side of the Peloponnese, east to the island of Crute, and north to the island of Euboea, which is the trade route of the Venetians.

Andrew Lee is going to cut the rope that is blocking Port Patras today!

"Fire!"

For the first time, Andrew Lee fought on a ship. He resisted the whirling sea, and sixty ships surrounded the Venetian ships that were cruising outside the island of Kephanella!

Port, Poros.

It was the main stronghold on the island of Kefanilla. In the interior of the island, there are several other pillboxes.

Kefanilla is an island in a seismic zone. As a result, earthquakes often occur on the island, the largest of which occurred in 1953, when the entire island was destroyed.

The ship roars! Dozens of ships put on a decisive posture so that the Venetian ships did not dare to make a mistake! Most of the escapees, the cannons, and most of them hid in the docks of the port of Poros.

But is it okay to hide in?

The ships of this era were also equipped with cannons, but could their small cannons compare to the eight-pounder cannons that Li Anshi had worked so hard to get? After crushing the blocked ships in a few strokes, many ships with strong guns gambled on the mouth of the pier!

If Qin Cang was there, Qin Cang would say, "Ah! My Greater Venice has its own national conditions here! How can you wait for the peck! ”

Their own ships crowded into the docks, shelled by the enemy at the gate. Like this...... It's clearly exactly the same as a certain Qing Dynasty!
