"Gan Teniang, if I don't take down the magic cannon on my ship, Lao Tzu will teach these ghosts a lesson when I turn around!" The captain of the fishing boat scolded, in fact, even in Zheng He's fleet before, his small boat with a displacement of only three or four hundred tons was not a real warship, and its main role was to transmit information and transport personnel. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Firearms technology in the early Ming Dynasty was still not particularly developed, but the Chinese had infinite wisdom and had begun to use a large number of firearms on ships. Including a series of gunpowder weapons such as thistles, iron-billed fire harriers, smoke balls, iron cannons, etc., the more powerful is the copper mortar cannon with a short barrel, this kind of artillery has a short range of fire, but the power is very large, and a cannon can open a big hole in any wooden warship.

But today, modern naval personnel do not look down on these bells and whistles firearms at all, except for some small firearms that can be retained to some extent, most of the firearms have been removed. Especially things like bulky mortar cannons and god machine cannons, when they are used, they are afraid of black powder blowing up or something, and the accuracy is poor and the firing range is also close, so naturally they can only be eliminated. However, the people of the Industrial Bureau like these things very much, they have already collected all the weapons such as copper cannons, and it is estimated that they will return to the furnace for rerefining after that, after all, copper metal is also relatively lacking in the colony.

The captain of the fishing boat was now only able to carry an M1903 rifle in his arms, and he only had a small amount of this small arms on board, which was not enough to inflict any real damage on the Spanish frigate.

The Santiago was also equipped with more than a dozen guns, all of which were genuine Furlong cannons, which were considered important imported ordnance by the Ming court during the Ming Dynasty and were strictly controlled. These front-loading smoothbore guns are also poorly accurate, but the naval battles of this era are basically concentrated at a distance of hundreds or even tens of meters. As the Santiago approached the fishing boat, a gun on the bow of the Santiago rumbled loudly, and a solid bullet slammed into the fishing boat.

The shell missed, but it stirred up a thick column of water on the side of the boat, which frightened the sailors on the fishing boat, and they could only hope that the wind would carry them away quickly. But it was clear that the full sail on the Santiago and its better hull shape made the Santiago the faster one. Apparently the Spaniards were not content to bombard the boat with the small guns on the bow, so they adjusted the angle of the bow so that they chased themselves to the side of the fishing boat, with the port side aimed at the starboard side of the fishing boat, and on this side Santiago a total of eight guns were aimed at the fishing boat.

"Fire!" Pérez is also in shape, even if the opponent is a fishing boat with little force.

"Oriental faces?" Manuel had already seen the faces of the panicked sailors on board with binoculars.

Pérez hesitated again: "How can there be Oriental fishing boats here, could it be that the Oriental people preceded the Russians and the British and established colonies here?" ”

With Pérez's knowledge, he had no idea of China at this time, and whether the country was as vast as Turkey or just the size of Britain, Pérez did not know. He also did not know that the population of this country was more than double that of Europe combined, and perhaps Perez only knew that from there European merchants received precious tea, porcelain, and silk, all of which were the best commodities.

Greed infected more Spanish sailors, and the first mate Manuel's breathing seemed to be a little heavier: "Captain, maybe there is porcelain on this ship!" We'll be rich in that case! ”

Europeans have been trying to imitate Chinese porcelain, but it cannot meet the requirements of Europeans in terms of quality and artistry, so Europe has been importing Chinese porcelain in large quantities until the nineteenth century. After the British had successfully tried to make their own porcelain, their own citizens still flocked to China for export.

Manuel's obscenity seemed to be even stronger, "Maybe there is a town built by the Orientals around here, we can observe how well they are prepared, if we don't defend it, we can completely seize this town and obtain the wealth in it!" ”

The Spaniards of this era were fearless and bold, and Cortés conquered the Aztec Empire, with a population of 15 million, with an army of less than 1,000 men, ten cannons, and sixteen horses; Pizarro set up an ambush with one hundred and eighty men, captured the king of Peru, extorted from his country enough silver to fill an entire cell, and finally treacherously killed him and seized Peruvian rule.

For these Spaniards, who had completed one almost mythical conquest after another, and seized amazing profits, so Manuel's wild imagination to occupy an Oriental town with 86 Spanish sailors did not seem to be an impossible thing.

In his fantasies, solid shells from the 6-pounder gun slammed into the side of the fishing boat, sending wrecked wood chips flying everywhere, killing and injuring some of the sailors and fishermen who had not had time to defend themselves. Even the captain of the ship was a little concussive.

"Ship boss, shall we surrender?"

The captain kicked over the guy who was about to surrender, and said angrily: "What are you kidding, our fleet is more than 10,000 times stronger than these ghosts, as long as you hold on for a while, our warships will come, kill these ghosts to the bust, you surrender at this time, do you want people to poke the backbone for the rest of your life?" ”

Just as the captain finished speaking, suddenly the sailors on the other side burst into cheers, and they shouted: "Our ship! Our ship is coming! ”

The captain immediately looked into the distance, and sure enough, he saw a battleship with a strange shape and a silver-gray paint painted all over it, heading in this direction at high speed.

"It's the White Shark, we're saved!" The captain almost burst into tears at this moment.

The White Shark was formerly the three-body stealth missile boat that China sold to Saudi Arabia at a high price. The local tyrant Saudi Arabia has always been the master of money, and everything that is expensive is not bought right. Saudi Arabia's purchase of missile boats from China also had some political exchange factors, but in any case, this missile boat with a displacement of 560 tons eventually traveled to the 18th century and was renamed the White Shark, which also became the fastest and most powerful warship in the colony.

"The fire control radar is on, and the target has been locked!" The weapon chief shouted.

Bai Nan stood in the battle room of this missile boat and gave the order to attack: "Give me artillery until this group of Spaniards raises the white flag!" ”

"Captain, what if they don't fly the white flag?"

"Then let me smash them down!"

The White Shark did not have the original captain, and even the crew was put together, and Bai Nan was temporarily appointed as the captain of this powerful warship by the Military Bureau of the Decisive Committee. The main attack weapon of this missile boat is naturally eight YJ-based anti-ship missiles placed in the stealth missile bay at the back, but these missiles have not been much useful in this era and have been temporarily extracted from the missile bay. In addition to anti-ship missiles, the missile boat has a 76mm naval gun, a 30mm six-barreled close-in defense gun, and also has an excellent electronic warfare system.

At this time, the main weapon of the White Shark is naturally the 76mm naval gun.

This powerful naval gun, after easily aiming at the Santiago, suddenly fired three shells in succession, all of which accurately hit the target and caused a violent explosion.

The air wave generated by the explosion directly overturned Perez and the others, and until they were attacked, Perez didn't know what was going on. He struggled to get up from the ground, and in the thick smoke of gunpowder, he vaguely recognized that a strangely shaped warship at least five or six thousand meters away from his own ship had just launched an attack on him.

"W-what kind of ship is that?" Pérez already had some brain short-circuiting.

Manuel no longer had porcelain and wealth on his mind, and he pointed into the distance and exclaimed in horror: "The Devil's Battleship, the Devil's Battleship!" ”

Three-body shape, streamlined hull, silver-gray painted White Shark, exaggerated and powerful, it is estimated that this is also one of the key reasons why the Saudi tyrants can take a fancy to it, in this era of sailors, look like this, can also sail at high speed on the sea, what else will it be if it is not a devil's warship?

Fortunately, Perez still had a little sense at this time, and the silver battleship was obviously here to save the fishing boat, so it must be a military personnel with these eastern fishermen. The hero did not suffer the immediate loss, Pérez gritted his teeth, personally pulled out a white flag, quickly climbed the mast, and hung the white flag on the top of the mast.

"Damn Manuel, you shouldn't have used force against these fishermen if you knew it, is this mysterious and terrible warship really owned by the Orientals? Can humans create such a mysterious and powerful weapon? I guess it's an artifact that can only be made by a god. Pérez thought to himself, and he also realized that by the time the white flag was raised, the silver battleship had stopped shelling and began to slowly approach the Santiago.

However, the Santiago had been badly damaged by several shots, and the power of modern barreled guns was not comparable to that of the eighteenth-century front-loading smoothbore guns. At this time, more than 20 sailors of the Santiago had died, and the cabin began to flood in large quantities and slowly sank.

Seeing this scene, Bai Nan just chuckled: "It's just right, it also saves us from waiting for the backup sailors to come and board the ship, our people on the White Shark are not enough to control them, now let's see whose luck is not eaten by the shark, and then we will catch them again." Oh, by the way, the guy who was obviously dressed as a captain gave me priority, and I was going to ask how these Spaniards had come to our doorstep and dared to attack our fishing boats. ”
