Xu Hai looked at the sky wolf who was contemplating and smiled: "Actually, your sky wolf is also this way of thinking, when negotiating with us, you don't give an inch, aggressive, but it is precisely like this, coupled with the sincerity and military strength of Governor Hu behind you, that we will finally accept your proposal, even if the Feng Dance is out of this file, it still does not close the door to negotiation, if you have a weak position when negotiating, let it go again and again, I am afraid that the boss will see your weakness and start fighting directly, for the soft coward, the harder you fight, The more you get. ”

Sky Wolf sighed: "This is the way you men on the sea think, but I still don't believe it, if you kill Rodriguez or Shimazu Yoshihiro, they will also make peace with you?" ”

Xu Haizheng said: "That Rodriguez is just a governor sent by the Westerners in Luzon, and there are many countries in the West, this Rodriguez is called Spain, in addition to the Netherlands, Portugal, England, etc., these countries have established colonies in the south of my Ming Dynasty, conquered and ruled the local natives, but they are too far away from their own country, so they can only let some fleet commanders be in charge of military and political finances in these colonies, because they are tens of thousands of miles away from their own country, so wars and major events, It is often at the discretion of these governors. ”

"I expect that Rodriguez is not interested in Yan Shifan's money, but presumably Yan Shifan has carried out some kind of traitorous deeds, probably in Guangdong Province to cede one or two small islands to these Francophiles, allowing them to trade with the Ming Dynasty or something, in the first year of Jiajing. These Franc men fought a battle with the Ming Navy in the Tuen Mun area of Guangdong Province, when the Ming army used fireships to attack and won by chance, and the Spanish governor did not dare to make a mistake. So he left the waters of Daming and has been honest until now. ”

"This Rodriguez only came to Luzon two years ago to succeed the previous governor, this person is ambitious, and he has always wanted to open the door to China, so he will collude with Chen Sipan in Guangdong and Fujian. Even for the past two years, he has been cutting trade with us, and the boss has been on guard for a long time, but this time he personally flew the Miè Destroyer. It was still a bit unexpected to us, after all, Chen Sipan and the Shimazu clan were close to us, and if we were destroyed, they would be able to get practical benefits. But this Rodriguez. It is impossible to gain a foothold here, so I think Yan Shifan must have given him some other bargaining chips that he could not refuse, almost certainly allowing them to trade in the Canton area. ”

Tian Wolf nodded: "Thinking about it, it must be like this, Yan Shifan is not the first time to betray the country anyway, and he can agree with a nod of his head if he gives up a few small islands in Guangdong, not to mention that the governor of Guangdong and the governor of Fujian are his people, not as disobedient as Hu Zongxian." Naturally, he didn't dare to disobey his orders. ”

Xu Hai gritted his teeth and said, "As long as you can kill Rodriguez today." Spain will send another governor over, and I am accustomed to seeing the methods of these Francophiles, and the new governor will definitely put the fault of starting a war on the dead ghost Rodriguez, and then reopen a bargain with us, so today in any case, we must first defeat Rodriguez, and send him and his ruined Miè to the sea to feed the king, so that we can create a situation that will be favorable to us in the future. ”

The wolf was silent, and secretly said in his heart that the actions of these widows are really different, fierce and strong, full of blood, maybe it is this kind of wolf nature that the Ming Dynasty is lacking now, so that the Quartet barbarians can bully, if Wang Zhi Xu Hai The blood of these people allows the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty to inherit a little bit, and the country will not become so erosive.

It's just that if Wang Zhixu Hai can turn defeat into victory as he wishes, kill that Rodriguez, and recapture Shuangyu Island, then I am afraid that the arrogance of these robbers will be higher than the sky, and whether they are still willing to accept their own peace negotiation conditions at that time, it is not known whether he will help them now, and when the time comes, this tiger will become fatter and fatter, and the tail will not fall off, I don't know whether it is right or wrong.

Xu Hai seemed to see the Heavenly Wolf's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Heavenly Wolf, what are you thinking, don't you want to see us win a big victory?" ”

Of course, the sky wolf couldn't admit what he thought in his heart, so he laughed and said: "No, I'm thinking, the battle between Ship Master Wang and Brother Xu has become enemies with almost all the sea forces, not to mention Chen Sipan and the Spaniards, the Shimazu clan that has been united with you for many years is also an enemy, even if you lose this battle, I'm afraid it will be embattled, and it can't be as good as before." If you say that you can restart business with the Franc machine, is it possible to reconcile with the Shimazu family? ”

Xu Hai gritted his teeth and said: "No, I will never make peace with the Shimazu family, Sky Wolf, you are right, these Japanese do not regard us as their own people at all, once they find out that we are self-reliant, they will try their best to harm us, just now I discussed with the boss, in the future, we will cut off trade with the Shimazu family, and vigorously support the Otomo family and the Ito family, which are now opposed to the Shimazu family, if necessary, we will directly attack the Satsuma clan and let the Shimazu family taste our strength." ”

Tianluo clapped his hands violently: "Okay, if Brother Xu can really counterattack the Japanese Kingdom, it can be regarded as a major event for the benefit of the country and the people, only this one, I, Tianwolf, will definitely ask Governor Hu and the emperor for your credit!"

Xu Hai waved his hand: "Heavenly wolf, you don't need to lift us up like this, we are not as noble as you said, revenge on the Shimazu clan is completely due to the fact that this time they betrayed the alliance first and took the initiative to attack us, if we can't fight back, then it is not a man." ”

Sky Wolf nodded, and suddenly thought of the Ming army fleet in the north, and his brows furrowed again: "Now that the Shimazu clan's troops have gone to the island, the combined fleet of Chen Sipan and the Spaniards is in front of you, and the sailors of the Ming army have not moved in the north, how do you plan to deal with the sailors of the Ming Dynasty?" What if Lu Bo starts attacking you in a while? ”

Xu Hai sighed: "Our boss just said that if the Ming army doesn't make a move, we won't take the initiative to attack the Ming army now, but if they take the initiative to attack us, then we can't be beaten, and we will definitely fight back, in fact, this time the Ming army followed these forces to attack our Shuangyu Island, which is already a war." We have been able to do this far, we have been very restrained, and it is impossible for us to be beaten in vain and not fight back. ”

Sirius didn't answer. While the two were talking, the Black Shark had already sailed into the fog, leaving only Wang Zhi and Sky Wolf and other four people on the upper deck of the ship, and the other gunners and oarsmen had all taken their places, and more than thirty large wooden oars stretched out from the bottom floor, which were rowing in the water in a rhythmic and regular manner. At this time, the Black Shark also began to slowly accelerate, shuttling between a boatload of illuminated enemy ships, due to the extremely heavy fog. There was silence on the Black Shark again, silent.

Wang Zhi's superb boat management skills amazed the wolf, and the boat dozens of zhang long was like a finger in his hands. Just stop. Say down, accelerate and sprint as fast as flying, often there is only a dozen zhang distance between two enemy ships full of lights, and the two ships can collide together without paying attention, but Wang Zhi can handle this Black Shark through this narrow gap alive, and he will not be discovered by the other party, this technology really makes the wolf shocked, and finally understands why it is Wang Zhi. And not someone else who has become the overlord of this sea.

The smug laughter of the pirates was heard in the mist, and the fall of the castle tower was all too obvious. So that the pirates in the fog can also see clearly, along the way, Sky Wolf heard that many pirates have been talking excitedly, saying that they are going to the island to dig up Wang Zhi's hidden gold, and they are afraid that the gold will be taken away by those widows if they are late, all the pirates in Chen Sipan's gang were stimulated by this good news, and they seemed to have given birth to infinite power, and the speed of all the ships began to move significantly faster, in contrast, Rodriguez's Destroyer fell behind more and more.

The Heavenly Wolf felt strange in his heart, and asked Xu Hai quietly: "Brother Xu, why is the Miè Destroyer not as fast as these pirates Chen Sipan?" ”

Xu Hai also replied in a low voice: "That is a six-story big ship, the steering remains the same, and the speed is not too fast, usually it relies on seven masts to hang hundreds of sails, and it can only run on the sea with the help of the wind, but now that it is foggy, they dare not hang the sails and move forward at full speed in this situation, for fear of hitting the mouth of their own ship, so they all rely on paddling to advance, and the ruin itself has fewer oarsmen, and the speed of this kind of manpower propulsion is of course not as good as Chen Sipan's ordinary assault ships." ”

The wolf suddenly realized, looking at the pile of extremely obvious tall fire that was only about a hundred zhang away from the ship, it seemed that a burst of muttering Western words also came, and the wolf listened to it, completely incomprehensible, and asked: "Brother Xu, what are these Spaniards talking about, do you know?" ”

Xu Hai smiled slightly, and said: "What you heard was what the sailors on several Spanish galleons nearby said, these Spaniards were also anxious, all saying that the Chinese pirates were going to rob money, if their speed was slow, they would not be able to catch anything, some people still wanted to hang up the sails and rush over, but the officials on the ship were shouting loudly, saying that whoever wanted money would jump into the sea and swim over by himself. ”

Sky Wolf nodded: "It seems that these Spanish officers still have some brains, and they are much calmer than those rabble of Chen Sipan." ”

Xu Hai said softly: "Then Rodriguez has a strict army and strict military law, and as soon as he arrived, he killed several captains who secretly smuggled and did business, so the current subordinates are very afraid of him and dare not disobey his orders, but because of this, once Rodriguez and his destroyer are defeated, these Spaniards will be leaderless and chaotic without a fight." ”

As he spoke, a huge warship appeared in the field of vision of the Sky Wolf, thirty feet away, a huge ship with a black body and six floors high was standing proudly on the sea, even if the Black Shark added a mast, it was only as high as the deck of this giant ship, and on the deck of this ship, more than 100 blonde and blue-eyed, Spanish soldiers in blue military uniforms were carrying muskets, crowded on the front deck, looking at Shuangyu Island, which was getting closer and closer.

At a glance, the wolf saw that on the lookout platform in front of the huge ship, there was a general dressed in a magnificent red swallow-tailed military robe, wearing a tall triangular hat with feathers on it, and he was looking forward under the protection of six or seven personal soldiers, and he was holding a long copper pipe in his hand, through which he was looking out towards the island in the distance.

Sky Wolf's heart moved, and he whispered, "Is this Rodriguez?" ”

Xu Hai laughed: "It's this enemy, it seems that they haven't discovered us yet, it's God who helps me!"

Wang Zhi's voice couldn't suppress the excitement, and his usually calm tone trembled a little excitedly at this moment, and he said to a copper pipe beside him: "The gunners on the second floor are all on the right side. Flowering shells bombarded the bottom two floors of enemy ships. The paddlers on the third floor are now paddling at full speed!"

Realizing that this copper pipe must be the passage that Wang Zhi used to order the sailors on the two floors below, Sky Wolf and Xu Hai glanced at each other and walked to the bow of the ship. Picking up the two flags, the red qi in his body began to rise slowly, and the air flow around his body flowed slowly, and he was fully prepared.

And Wang Zhi also aimed the bow of the ship directly in the parallel direction of the starboard side of the destroyer, no longer changing the angle of left and right, and under his order, the oarsmen on the third floor rowed like flying. The Black Shark grew faster and faster, like a wild horse that had broken away, and it was speeding towards the rear of the Mière.

A soldier patrolling the back deck of the Miè Destroyer spotted the Black Shark's deposit. In the dense fog, a completely black clipper was silently heading towards its warship, and the gun ports on both sides had been pushed out of the cabin, and the black hole was like the eyes of death. He yelled: "The enemy ships are coming!"

Just when the last word was still swirling on the tip of his tongue. A flagpole more than four feet long flew from the Black Shark more than ten zhang away, and before this unlucky soldier had time to dodge, he pierced the flagpole through his chest, looked up to the sky and spurted out a mouthful of blood, plopped, and fell into the sea water more than ten zhang down. A wave was stirred, and it disappeared into the vast sea in an instant.

The wolf smiled and took a new flag from the side. said: "It's still slow to shoot, let this guy call out first, now I'm afraid that the enemy ship will know." ”

Xu Hai sneered, and a murderous aura appeared in his eyes: "It's useless to know, even their god can't save this ruined person this time!"

It's too late, it's fast, and with just these two sentences, the Black Shark is moving forward at a rapid pace with the huge Mière Destroyer, although it is less than two-thirds the length of the Mière Destroyer, but all the cannon muzzles have been aimed at the penultimate layer that is flush with him, and Sky Wolf can even see that many Spanish sailors are just beginning to wake up like a dream at this time, hurriedly pushing those cannons towards the outside of the cabin.

Wang Zhi's voice sounded calmly and powerfully: "Anchor!" The oarsmen stop the oars, the gunners fire rapidly, and knock out all the flowering shells!"

Before the words fell, the wolf only felt that the deck under his feet shook for a while, and the whole person unconsciously wanted to fall to the left, and the hull of the ship began to move to the left, and the deafening roar of the cannon came and went, and the fire at the muzzle of the gun tore through such a thick fog at once, making this ghostly Black Shark ship, which was silent in an instant, suddenly become the most dazzling star on the entire sea!

One by one, shells whistled out from the muzzle, the huge recoil force of the twelve-pounder gun after firing made the cannon on wheels retreat four or five meters away, the well-trained gunners took the long-rod mop that was specially used to wipe the breech, and the top was stained with oil, and quickly poked twice in the still smoking chamber, and while pulling out the mop, another gunner skillfully loaded the next twelve-pounder shell into the muzzle, and almost at the same time, the gunners at the tail end had pushed the cannon back to the hatch of the ship, and by the way lit a new fuse, The time interval between the two guns did not exceed half a minute.

Thirty-six cannons roared incessantly, accompanied by the continuous explosions and all kinds of screams and wails on the opposite side, and the fifth and sixth cabins of the Destroyer, which was still majestic just now, have been beaten to pieces, and the two layers of thick wooden cabins that were originally closed have now been beaten into a completely open structure, and the planks on both sides have long been blown into pieces of sawdust, mixed with the severed limbs and stumps of the human body, floating in the sea between the two ships, and the wooden oars and cannons of these two layers, It's gone, and I don't know if it has turned into broken copper and iron, or turned into wood powder in the sky.

Because the bottom two floors were blown off about half, the entire Destroyer was already at a strange angle, tilting towards the Black Shark, the hull was already tilted at thirty or forty degrees, and the squeaky sound sounded chilling, the Sky Wolf only felt that the bright sky just now suddenly became dim, and a huge shadow began to envelop his head, and the Destroyer on the side with a terrifying sound gradually tilted towards his Black Shark ship like the top of Mount Tai.

Rodriguez's voice echoed on the upper deck, and soon, the cannon on the second and third floors of the Destroyer began to roar, after the initial fatal blow, basically the fourth to sixth floors have been completely destroyed, both the oarsmen and the gunners have died seventy-seven eighty-eight, losing their combat effectiveness, but the upper three floors are still intact, taking advantage of the artillery battle just now, the Spanish gunners on the second and third floors have pushed a giant cannon out of the sideboard, revealing a pair of black holes of the eyes of death, Looking down at the Black Shark below.

The wolf's face changed, and the expected flag-blocking cannonballs did not appear, but now that this is the case, the inclined destroyer instead aimed the originally high cannon mouth at the Black Shark obliquely downward with the momentum of Mount Tai, so that the second and third layers of cannons that could not hit their deck have a place to use again, and the hideous expressions of the Spanish gunners behind a pair of double cannons have come into the eyes of the wolf, at least thirty cannons have begun to load, as long as one salvo, then he has eight hands, It is impossible to block this thunderous blow.
