Early in the morning.

Xiaoliuqiu Island, Chicken Coop Harbor.

The name of Jilong Port is due to the nearby Jilongyu Island, which is the largest port on Xiaoliuqiu Island and the largest settlement of Japanese pirates on Xiaoliuqiu Road.

As usual, the tranquil Joncoop Harbour is shrouded in a mist that is densely packed with ships large and small, looming in the morning mist.

The town of Jilong, where the port is located, is the largest and most prosperous town on Xiaoliuqiu Island, with a dense population, and the town is not only active in groups of Japanese robbers, but also a large number of people.

With the sound of chickens crowing one after another, the silent chicken coop town gradually became noisy, and the town gradually swayed, and people began a busy day.

For Zhao Laoliu, a fisherman in Jilong Town, going out to sea to fish is both his career and his means of livelihood, and now is the perfect season for fishing.

Zhao Laoliu was originally a military household of a thousand households in Fuzhou Prefecture, Fujian, and the military attache of the Thousand Households occupied the military fields distributed by the imperial court, and was enslaved by the hundred households for a long time, and his life was miserable.

Although it is inevitable to feel homesick when you are far away from your home, and you will be oppressed by the ruffians and pirates in Jilong Town on weekdays, because the waters around Jilong Port are rich in fishery resources, as long as you go out to sea to fish, you will have a good harvest, so there is no problem with the food and clothing of your family, and your life is many times stronger than when you were in Fuzhou Mansion.

Early in the morning, Zhao Lao Liu called his two sons and drove a small fishing boat away from the dock of the port in the morning fog, this time he brought plenty of food and fresh water, and prepared to go to the farther sea to catch some valuable fish in the market.

After 20 years of hard work to repay the debt, he will be able to pay off the borrowed money with interest this year, and he will really have his own fishing boat in the future.

"Daddy, daddy, look, that'...... What is that? When the fishing boat was about to sail out of the dense fog area shrouded in the port, the eldest son Zhao Sijia, who was rocking the boat at the stern, couldn't help but point ahead and shouted to Zhao Lao Liu, who was sorting out the fishing nets with his second son Zhao Siguo in the cabin.

"What's the panic, even if you encounter a big storm at sea, you must not panic, otherwise you will only lose your life when the time comes......" Zhao Laoliu saw Zhao Sijia's ghostly look, and couldn't help but scold Zhao Sijia and got out of the cabin, and then his voice stopped abruptly, and he looked ahead with a stunned expression.

There were several huge black shadows looming in the fog area ahead, and Zhao Lao Liu had never encountered such a strange thing since he came to Jilong Port for twenty years.

Did you encounter a legendary sea monster?

The next moment, a thought that made Zhao Laoliu shudder came to his mind, the legend of the sea monster has a long history among fishermen, and many of the events and phenomena that cannot be explained by common sense at sea are believed to be the work of the sea monster, so the legend of the sea monster can be said to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

After all, with Zhao Laoliu's cognition, it was impossible for such a huge object to be on the sea, so he really couldn't think of anything other than the sea monster.

"Dad, could they be ships, I heard that when the Three Treasure Eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty went to the Western Ocean, there were big ships as tall as mountains!" Just when Zhao Laoliu, who was in a frightened mood, was about to ask Zhao Sijia to turn around and return to the port, an excited voice sounded in his ears, and Zhao Siguo, who was standing behind him, looked at the huge black shadows in the fog with interest.

"Eunuch of the Three Treasures?" Zhao Laoliu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and he only then remembered that when Zheng He went to the Western Ocean, there were many huge ships accompanying him, and the largest of them was Zheng He's treasure ship.

When Zhao Laoliu was young, he saw Zheng He's fleet in the Western Ocean, and the Zheng He's treasure ship inside was simply a moving mountain on the sea, which gave him an incomparably huge shock.

But why did those big ships appear in Joncoop Harbor? Could it be that the Ming Dynasty organized a huge fleet to start a trip to the West?

"Dad, let's go over and see what's going on!" Just when Zhao Laoliu was puzzled in his heart, Zhao Sijia, who was rocking the boat at the stern, said excitedly that he and Zhao Siguo grew up listening to the story of Zheng He's trip to the West when they were children, so they were extremely yearning for the big ships in the fleet led by Zheng He, and wanted to see their true faces.

"Dad, let's take a look." When Zhao Siguo heard this, he also looked at Zhao Lao Liu with anticipation.

Obviously, Zhao Sijia and Zhao Siguo's curiosity about Zheng He's treasure ship had prevailed at this time, overpowering their fear of sea monsters, and they both wanted to see what the world-famous Zheng He's treasure ship was like.

As for the ethereal legendary monster like the sea monster, they have long been forgotten, after all, compared to Zheng He's treasure ship, the probability of the sea monster appearing is even lower, and there are several at a time, which is simply impossible.

Zhao Lao Liu saw the two sons looking at him with burning eyes, knowing that the two wanted to go to see the excitement, his expression suddenly became a little embarrassed, to be honest, he also wanted to know what those huge black shadows were, but whether it was the fleet of the Ming Dynasty or the sea monsters, they were in danger, after all, now Xiaoliuqiu Island has become a paradise for the Japanese invaders, and God knows if the people on the fleet will shoot them as Japanese invaders.

"Go back!" Soon, Zhao Lao Liu made up his mind and said in a deep voice to Zhao Sijia at the stern of the boat, he still felt that he should go back to the port for safety.

Zhao Sijia's face suddenly showed a look of disappointment, and he reluctantly began to turn the bow of the ship, and his eyes reluctantly moved away from the huge black shadows in the fog ahead.

"Dad, you and your eldest brother go back first, I'll go over and have a look!" Unlike Zhao Sijia, the seventeen-year-old Zhao Siguo was even more rebellious, hesitated for a moment and made up his mind, shouted to Zhao Lao Liu, jumped into the water, and struggled to swim to the fog area in front of him to find out what those black shadows were.

"This kid!" Zhao Lao Liu looked at Zhao Siguo in the water and sighed helplessly, his eyes were full of anxious looks, he knew that Zhao Siguo would definitely not come back after listening to him, so he waved his hand to Zhao Sijia and signaled Zhao Sijia to hurry back to Hong Kong, in case the Ming fleet came, he had to find a way to take his family to avoid the disaster of war.

Zhao Siguo grew up by the sea, he can be said to have been soaked in water since he was a child, so he has a good water nature, and as he swam forward, the black shadows in front of him became clearer and clearer, which also made his mood more and more excited.

"Oh my God!" Finally, Zhao Siguo passed through the fog area on the sea, and the scene in front of him suddenly opened up, and when he saw the scene in front of him clearly, he was stunned, and looked at several ships with several layers of cabins and three rows of large masts parked on the sea not far away, he had never seen such a huge ship.

However, Zhao Siguo was shocked and the things didn't stop there, there were some equally huge ships parked in the sea behind those ships, and several of them looked like a hill on the sea, which seemed to him to be incredible.

"Zheng He's treasure ship! It must be Zheng He's treasure ship! After staring at the giant ships like small mountains for a while, Zhao Siguo's face suddenly showed a look of excitement, except for the Zheng He sea ship that the elders talked about, he really couldn't think of any other ship that could have the huge size of a small mountain.

In addition to the excitement, Zhao Siguo finally noticed a fact that shocked him, that is, not only those huge ships in the sea in front of him, but also many large ships moored in the nearby sea area, which firmly surrounded Jilong Harbor in a fan shape on the sea surface.

"Are they going to attack the port?" Subsequently, Zhao Siguo realized an astonishing fact, and his face showed a stunned look, in front of such a powerful maritime military force of the Ming Dynasty, Jilong Harbor could not be held at all.

Subconsciously, Zhao Siguo wanted to turn around and swim back to the dock, but then he gave up this idea, weighed left and right, and then swam towards the big ship in front of him, he wanted to tell the Ming army on the boat that although there were many Japanese coops, but more of them were innocent people, and he couldn't watch those people die under the knife of the Ming army.

At this moment, if you look down from the sky, you can see that the chicken coop harbor shrouded in dense fog has been surrounded by the ships of the Daming Naval Division.

At the forefront of the encirclement is naturally the three-masted warship equipped with powerful firepower, that is, the large ships with three rows of masts that appeared in front of Zhao Siguo's eyes, and the other ships in the fleet are arranged behind the three-masted warships in order according to their different performance.

As time passed, the thick fog that shrouded the harbor gradually dissipated, and the fishermen on the pier who were about to go to sea soon noticed that the large ships were moored in the waters outside the port, and they all looked at these large uninvited guests with surprised expressions.

"The officers and soldiers are coming!" After a brief moment of shock, and without knowing who shouted, the crowd on the dock immediately dispersed and rushed towards the town in panic, everyone knew that these ships with an offensive posture were not good.

Almost instantly, the quiet and peaceful chicken coop town was boiling, chickens flying and dogs jumping, crying dad and shouting mother, and it was a mess.

After hearing the news of the Ming army's call, the frightened townspeople dragged their families to the mountains behind the town, hoping to escape the impending war.

The town's pirates rushed to the dock with their weapons in a panic under the angry scolding and scolding of the leaders, preparing to board the ship to meet the enemy.

Many of them are sleepy-eyed as if they haven't woken up yet, and people like them who live a life of licking blood from the knife are usually happy in time, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling are the norm, so they sleep at night......

It is said that it is to meet the enemy, in fact, it is more appropriate to slip away, the smallest ships in the Daming Naval Division that attacked Jilong Harbor this time are larger than the largest ships of the Japanese Kou in the harbor, if they fight, they will have no chance of winning at all, not only will they be attacked by the soldiers on the deck of the Sailor with bows and arrows, but once they are hit by the ships of the Sailor Division, their ships will definitely be severely damaged, and some will fall apart on the spot.

However, although the ships of the Wako are small, they also have an advantage, that is, they are agile, and once they sail with all their might, it is difficult for the large ships of the Great Ming Naval Division to catch up.

Therefore, the Japanese had to flee with all their might before the ships of the Daming sailors had formed a close position to the Jilong Harbor, and they were not stupid enough to fight a naval battle with the Daming sailors. R1148
