"There's no need to worry." Zheng Shaolai said with a smile: "I know that such a big ship is coming, which makes people really feel a little scared, but on the water surface of this Japanese territory, all the way to the South China Sea such as Luzon, as long as Li Ye is there, these Hongmaoyi must be honest and obedient, otherwise, someone will teach them a lesson." ”

"Could it be that Li Ye has a bigger and more powerful warship than this?"

"Well, not really." Zheng Shaolai said a little embarrassed: "Li Ye was called the Chinese captain by these Hongmaoyi, also called Jiabidan Li Dan, the Spaniards in the Hongmaoyi were particularly jealous of Li Ye, Li Ye was originally in Manila, and later the Spaniards were afraid of him, deliberately excluded, and also instigated the local natives to kill me over 10,000 Han merchants and Han people, Li Ye was angry and fought with them several times, and later moved to Japan, the Japanese shogunate zoned this port for Li Ye and his subordinates to set up, Hongmaoyi and Li Ye are safe and sound, and everyone does business and makes a fortune together, but if it starts, these Hongmaoyi also know that Li Ye is not easy to mess with, although we don't have a big ship, but Li Ye's subordinates also have tens of thousands of people, all of them are loyal and brave sea fighters, and there are more than 300 ships that can fight naval battles, we don't have a big ship with so many artillery, but they can engage in broadside battles, can set fire to wars, Yiren's ships are inconvenient to rotate at sea, as long as they are taken over by us, rushed onto the ship or set fire, they will also lose. ”

"I'm afraid that if we are bombarded with artillery, our losses will not be small, right?"

"That's it." Zheng Shaolai said with emotion: "The first few times we fought with the Spaniards, we were all more enemies and less, but in the end we could only ask them to retreat, they died ten people, we had to die a hundred people, fortunately, they came from afar, they can't afford to bear the loss, we don't want to fight to the death if we have nothing to do, as long as Hongmaoyi does business honestly, everyone will make money together." ”

Jiang Kui frowned and said: "I see that there are more and more of these foreign guys, and the territory is so big, sooner or later they will have to fight." ”

"That's what I said." Zheng Shaolai was a little shocked and said: "This is all seen by those of us who have been running the sea for many years, you have only been on the ship for a few days, and you actually have such knowledge." ”

Jiang Kui said: "This is just the opinion of the proprietor of my family. ”

He didn't want to say more, Zhang Han once told the officers about the simplified version of the theory of sea power, and even the current situation in Nanyang was literate, as for how Zhang Han knew so much, no one thought deeply, everyone was like a sponge, just keep absorbing the knowledge they have learned into their own bodies.

From Nanyang to Japan, and then to the coast of China, including Taiwan and Penghu, there are now Taixi forces, Spaniards, Dutch, Portuguese, these three countries are the most powerful, and Zhang Han mainly mentions these three people.

At this time, the Dutch ship is getting closer and closer, people can clearly see the appearance of those red hairs on the ship, most of these people are red or brown hair, there are also blonde hair and black hair, but the number is not many, and a small number of blacks, that is, the Chinese say Kunlun Nu, the whole body is dark, only the teeth when speaking are shining, especially white, most of these people are busy, there are also some soldiers wearing two-headed large-brimmed hats and military uniforms standing on the side of the ship, holding monocular binoculars in their hands, constantly looking around with binoculars.

"Only Nagasaki is open to the Dutch and Portuguese to do business, and no other red hairs are allowed to come. The warship is not allowed to come in normal times, and this warship must be used as an excuse to repair or replenish water, otherwise they are not allowed to come in normally. Zheng Shaolai and the sailors also stared at those red-haired sailors, the attitude on both sides was not very friendly, many of them grimaced or spat on this side, and some had murderous eyes in their eyes, and their attitudes were very bad.

"These red-haired people aren't very friendly to us, aren't they?" Wen Zhongfa has been listening with a smile on the side, he is a field person, and it will be difficult to transfer to other departments in the future, the purpose of coming out is to protect Jiang Kui and the other people, those people are the seeds of coming out to learn from the scriptures this time, he just listens to the excitement, and does not take it to heart.

At this time, seeing the appearance of Hongmaoyi, Wen Zhongfa became curious, and said with a smile: "Look at their eyebrows one by one, do you want to eat us alive?" ”

"Let's put it this way," Zheng Shaolai said: "In Nanyang to the South American territory they said, only we Ming people can make these red hairy money, and only our Ming people can fight with them." They hate and fear us. Everywhere these guys go, they say that they are barbarians, indisbelievers, not people of the civilized world. Only on our side of the Ming Dynasty, we can only admit that we are civilized people who do not believe in religion, and they are very angry in their hearts. These Dutch ghosts are not bad, making money first, the Spaniards are evil, preaching is more important than making money, they killed more than 10,000 of our Han people in one go, they would rather not make money than be safe, and the other is to vent the grievances accumulated over the years. ”

"We'll take revenge sooner or later." Jiang Kui looked at these red-haired and white-skinned people coldly, but he really had the heart to win.

"Hmph." Wen Zhongfa only snorted coldly, and his eyes also showed a bit of murderous aura.

At this moment, a brown-haired man on the side of the ship drew his knife and made a throat-slitting motion.

The Dutchmen on the House of Cruninsing laughed, and they all slitted their throats in this direction.

"This guy drank too much, didn't he?" The person who spoke was a young man named Wang Zhang, who was a member of the General Staff Department, proficient in arithmetic and geometry, also good at drawing, and had a very smart mind, and was a rare talent.

Most of the young people around Wang Zhang were transferred from the Attendant Department or the Staff Department, and there were also people from the Military Orders Department, and a few of them were very good talents in the Heyusheng Commercial Bank, and this time they were all top people, so although only two people died, Jiang Kui still felt very distressed.

"This bastard is called Constantine, Nobel," Zheng Shaolai said with an ugly face: "He is a well-known ruthless guy among the Dutch, we have a lot of Han people in Taiwan who immigrated to farm in the past, and this person killed more than 100 people with his own hands, he likes to cut his throat, and every time he kills people, he uses the method of cutting his throat, and now he is doing such a hand gesture, of course, he is threatening us." ”

"Isn't Taiwan in the hands of Yan Siqi?"

"The Dutch are also interested, they have continued to infiltrate over there, and their strength is much stronger than Yan Ye on Dayuan Island. In my opinion, unless there is a vicious war in the future, Taiwan and Penghu will fall into their hands sooner or later. ”

The Dutch warship in front of him was pulled by a dozen rowing boats and sailed out of the harbor, and when it reached the wide sea, the small ship untied its ropes, and the large ship had adjusted its sails, and with the help of the wind, the huge hull gradually turned and slowly drove towards the western sea.

Everyone didn't want to look any further, in any case, this huge battleship gave people a great impact, and the guns on both sides of the board made people feel a lot of pressure, and there were dozens of guns on one battleship, once they were released, how powerful would it be?

Jiang Kui and others all know the power of artillery, and the firearms bureau on Li Zhuang's side is constantly trying to cast artillery, and artillery is fired every day. The artillery cast by Li Zhuang is a field artillery on land, and now it is a four-pounder cannon that weighs several hundred pounds, and a few people can push it and fly away. The Hongyi cannon of the Ming army was a naval cannon fished out of the sunken ship of the Portuguese, and it was generally cast into a cannon weighing two or three thousand catties, which was very heavy and could only be used to garrison the city pass.

The warship in front of him is full of naval guns, and most of the guns on both sides are eighteen-pounder guns or twenty-four-pounder guns, all of which weigh more than 3,000 catties.

At this time, several sailing ships came from the sea outside the port, all of them had hard sails in the style of Fu ships, each ship was ten meters long, three or four meters wide, and the tonnage should be about fifty tons, and there were generally twenty or thirty sailors on board, and they were all standing on the hull at this time.

These sailors were all dark-faced, with their hair combed in a bun, and they were not very tall, judging from their face shape and height, they were standard sailors from the coast of Fujian and Guangzhou who begged for a living at sea all year round.

These men passed by the Kruninsin's House, their ships moving fast and fast, and the people in control were so confident that they were almost passing by the warships in front of them.

In contrast, these lucky ships were short and small compared to the warships, and seemed to be the difference between children and strong men, but the sailors on board did not have the slightest fear on their faces, and their faces were full of provocative looks, and there were endless curses such as "lose that mother" in their mouths, and many sailors took out birds from the stalls and peed on the big ships that were speeding by.

The Dutch on the warship looked ugly like dead people, but they didn't mean to use force, and some people urinated and fought back, and the two sides were dozens of meters away no matter how close they were, this kind of behavior was just a meaningless catharsis, and those who did it first had a colorful head, and those who learned later were a little boring and boring.

The officer on the big ship quickly stopped this boring action, the sails of the battleship had long been adjusted to the angle of eating the wind, and the ship borrowed the speed of the wind and quickly went far.

The newcomers are all hard sails, and the entire sail surface can be adjusted calmly to eat the wind, and there is no need for a small boat to paddle to guide, and the boat itself enters the port very calmly.

When they got closer, Jiang Kui and the others carefully observed these sailors, many of these people had scars on their bodies, and the ferocity on their faces was very obvious, and they all carried weapons, mostly long knives or short knives, and there were also a few swords, and some were holding guns or forks.

Jiang Kui and Wen Zhongfa glanced at each other, and they both felt the surprise in each other's eyes.

They are all born in Lahu, and the loafers in the north are also doing hard-working work, collecting money and fighting is a common thing, grabbing land also has to fight, and there are many illegal things, if something happens, they will either be taken to the board, or they will be injured or killed by someone looking for revenge, and even there are many means of self-harm when fighting, and if you hesitate a little, you will be looked down upon, and you can't do it...... There are also many bullies with fierce looks, but Jiang Kui and Wen Zhongfa have never seen the bullies ready to fight for their lives without need!
