Zhang Er sat on the Taishi chair behind the bridge of the "Flying Henan", leisurely enjoying the cool sea breeze. The cloth on his head was pulled apart, covering the scorching sun, and he held a silver cup of fresh cider in his hand, and took a sip from time to time, which was very comfortable.

During the Age of Discovery, due to the need for ships to travel at sea for a long time, the freshwater loaded with algae and maggots and other organisms grew, and seafarers mainly relied on drinking light wine that was not easy to grow algae and maggots. On European ships, crews drank Rum, a distilled spirit made from sugar cane molasses, also known as sugar liquor, rum, and rum. Liaoning does not have sugarcane yet, so it has to find other alternatives. Kim Jung-ho proposed to use the fresh apples of the DPRK to make low-alcohol liquor instead.

Apples have been cultivated in China for more than 2,000 years, and according to legend, the "purple persimmon" eaten by Xia Yu is a red apple, which shows that the history of apples in China has been very long. Up to the Ming Dynasty, there were not only "summer ripe" "Su Naphthalene, Zhu Zhu, Green Persimmon", but also "Liangzhou has winter Kaptira, winter ripe, with blue color". In the middle of the 19th century, after European apples were naturalized in China, they gradually replaced Chinese cotton apples. As a branch of Huaxia, there are also apples cultivated in Chao*.

As soon as the cider came out, it immediately became the favorite of all the officers and men of the naval division. In the words of the old sea wolf Zhang Er: "Without cider, I can't live a day!" The cultivation of apples and the brewing of cider have become an important economic income in Yiju and Tieling, Pyongan and Hamgyong, and now they are all sold to the capital, and the two queen mothers in the palace like to drink it. Cider also has another name, "Arirang Wine", which is called "Langjun Wine" in Chinese. The virtuous woman is waiting for Lang Jun, who has sailed away, to return safely at the port, which is very poetic.

Zhang Er's cruise this time is opposite to Li Sijin and Spyro's cruise. Zhang Er patrolled the western line first, then the eastern front, and Li Sijin first the eastern line and then the western route, and the two fleets converged in the north of the Great Ryukyu Island, and then continued the cruise separately. As for Yi Sunsin, he is now wandering around Hokkaido and Kuyo Island. The new land discovered and developed with the participation of the sailor, except for the land needed to establish the official rule and the part promised to the participants, the rest is at the disposal of the sailor, and it is all money!

The reason why Zhang Er is so leisurely makes sense. The fleet includes the "Flying Henanren", "Robbery" fast gunboats, the "Gu Diao" and "Tiger Jiao" gunboats (Kraken class), the "Manatee" armed transport ship, and the "Sea Harrier" liaison ship. There are no battleships in the cruising fleet, and the battleships are now trained in the Sea of Japan. And not far ahead is the meeting point of the two fleets, and when the two fleets are combined, what are you afraid of?!

"There are ships, east-southeast, south-west, two, the type of ship is unknown! The logo is unknown! "While he was idle, the lookout on the top of the mast shouted." Sir, we all have red flags on the roofs of our ships, and we know the type of ship, so it should not be our ship. We also know the ship types of Daming, Chao Xian and Dongying, and they should not be civilian ships in the East China Sea. Is there something suspicious and need to be on high alert? ”

After pondering for a while, Zhang Er was sure that the staff officer's judgment was correct, and he was forced to read a lot of books, which was still useful. "Tell the whole fleet to enter a state of imminent battle! Light the fire! And mud! Later, he muttered: "Even if it's not, it's excellent to practice these cubs." ”

Zhang Er stood up and commanded the fleet to change from a large angle to the north, seizing the upper hand and setting up a battle queue. However, the other party also changed direction, and also tried to gain the upper hand, and should also find Zhang Er's fleet.

Thanks to the fact that they are all relatively standard flying scissors, the Black Pearl class and the Seabird class are the standard flying shear types, and the Kraken class and the Sea Beast class are the flying shear types with extended loads, Zhang Er's fleet has an advantage in speed. The fleet quickly pulled away in the north direction and lined up.

At this time, both sides finally saw the whole picture of each other in the telescope.

"Big-bellied boat! Shameless Dutchman! "The Spanish instructor who accompanied the team almost shouted." It's the Dutchmen who are vile, shameless, and sinful to the extreme, and even God can betray them! "There are no good words for the sworn enemy.

The Dutch merchant ship has a great feature: in the past, the merchant ship did not collect taxes based on the displacement of the ship, but on how wide the top deck of the ship was, so the Dutch built the ship into a "big belly" in order to evade taxes, with a large hull and a very narrow upper deck. Looking down from the deck, the hull underneath is strangled into a big belly.

The Dutch really couldn't tell who they were. At this time, there were no flying scissor ships in the West, and of course they had not seen them. The sails are Western-style, but the flags on the ship are Chinese-style, especially the red flag on the top of the mast.

After a while, someone finally remembered: Some time ago, a businessman who came from the Ming Kingdom said that now that a "East China Sea Governor's Office" has been established in the sea east of the Ming Kingdom, and the entire ocean is in charge, could it be them? However, the other party's ship type is not the usual Ming ship type, maybe it is a Spaniard with nostrils facing the sky, right? In short, just get ready to open the shelf!

As the two fleets approached, they could already see each other's costumes through the binoculars. The Dutch finally determined that the people on the other ship were wearing the costumes of the Ming Kingdom, and that they were indeed the ships of the "East China Sea Governor's Palace", and hung on the mast the signal flag that was common to Western navigation with "sails and inspection".

"General, it's almost in the range of rocket artillery, and they haven't set sail yet! Give the order! "Bunny, what's the hurry? Wait until you get into the range of the artillery! Tell me to go down and check my belongings again! "Yes!"

"At a distance of 600 meters, it is about to enter the range of artillery!" "Ignite the fire, aim at their sails, and burn their sails for Grandpa!"

With the command of each ship, like fireworks, the fire arrow fire dragon roared like fireworks, and pounced on the Dutch ships, and gray-white arcs appeared again in the clear blue sky. "Oh God! What is it?! Is it a flame from hell?! To the exclamation of the Dutchman, the fire dragon flew over.

The rockets of the cruising fleet have increased the stabilizing wing, the accuracy of shooting is greatly improved, and the targets of the sails are also large. The sails of the Dutchmen were accurately hit and burst into flames. The fuel filled in the rocket quickly spilled, spreading flames that could not be extinguished by water to the surrounding area.

While the Dutch shouted to God and in vain sprayed the flames with seawater, the opposing fleet approached the range of the artillery. "Boom! Rumble! Boom ...... "The other party's ship actually opened fire from outside the firing range?" It seems that the navy of the Ming Kingdom is still a layman and does not know how to fight with artillery!

Unfortunately, the Dutch didn't get any more refreshed, and the red-hot bombs flew over. No way? The artillery of the Ming people can hit so far?!

Of course, it can be pulled, Liaoning's artillery is all copper-sleeved steel barrels, which are stronger than Western artillery in the same period, can withstand larger charges, and can naturally fly farther.

"Puff! Swell! ......Bombardments hit their targets one after another, shattered pieces of wood turned into deadly swords that killed the ship's sailors, and the red-hot steel burned all flammable items.

When the warships of Liaoning came into the range of the Dutch artillery, the Dutch artillery just fired a few shots indifferently and then disappeared. The pot-bellied ship had been turned into a torch, and the crew scrambled to jump into the sea, and then swam desperately far away, not to be carried to the bottom of the sea by the whirlpool of the ship's silence.

Li Sijin's fleet came late and was unable to participate in this one-sided beating. Zhang Er reported to Li Sijin: These are two Dutch expedition ships, armed merchant ships, one of which is called "Flying Dutchman", which sounds quite similar to "Flying Henan".
