The north wind was blowing, Tu Hai stood on the deck of a giant battleship painted red, the clairvoyant mirror that never left his hand all the year round was held in front of him, let the north wind blow over his face, he was still standing on the deck, the perennial sea life made his skin turn bronze, but what remained unchanged was his still resolute expression.

"All the flotillas are in a T-shape, the artillery hatches are all open, and the guns are starting to load!"

With the battle flag and indicator flag raised by the Tuhai ship, the two Spanish galleons, five Daifuku ships, and more than a dozen armored fast cruisers around the Dabao ship quickly formed a formation.

"Report to your lord, all shells are loaded!"

"Fire!"

"Boom Boom"

With the rumbling sound of cannons, more than 30 bronze cannons on the left side of the Dabao ship that Tu Hai was riding on made a loud noise, and dozens of projectiles flew out of the barrel and flew into the distance.

From the clairvoyant mirror, Tu Hai saw that five hundred meters ahead, the row of small boats that were the target had already had sawdust flying, and more than ten small boats had been sunk by four or five, and the hit rate had reached thirty percent.

This is already a good result, but Tu Hai is still not very satisfied, because according to the news that Tu Hai learned from Taiwan, the hit rate of those Dutch people in this situation can reach fifty percent, and the current Qingzhou sailors are still not as good as others.

Although Tu Hai also knew that his Qingzhou Navy Division had only been established for less than three years, so naturally he could not compare with those Dutch royal navy, but he still took the Dutch navy as his goal and tried to surpass it.

Immediately after that, Tuhai ordered the fleet to start practicing various combat formations, and the fleet would become a defensive circle for a while, an offensive pointed formation for an attack, and a T-shaped formation for a strong attack.

"Well, it's not bad, these rabbit cubs are very quick to change formations, and it seems that they are not lazy." Tu Hai nodded with satisfaction, obviously very satisfied with this.

"Okay, let's get ready for the last live-fire drill, and all gun positions are ready to load solid ammunition immediately!"

As soon as Tu Hai's voice came out, he heard the lookout on the mast above his head shouting loudly: "Lord Qiyu, there is an unknown fleet ahead, and they are heading towards us. ”

"Hmm, unknown ships?"

Tu Hai was slightly startled in his heart, and quickly raised the clairvoyant mirror to look east, only to see that in his clairvoyant mirror, more than ten small black dots were slowly entering his eyes.

Tu Hai observed the other party in his eyes, but his mouth did not rest, "The official ordered that all ships immediately enter a state of combat readiness and meet them in a T-shape. ”

"Knock Knock Knock"

The battle flag was immediately raised on one of the masts of the big treasure ship, and with the sound of passionate drums, the fleet immediately formed a battle formation and headed to the east.

At the same time that Tu Hai commanded the fleet to meet them, the oncoming fleet also discovered Tu Hai and their sailors, and almost at the same time they also formed the same formation to meet them, and the two oncoming fleets were about to collide together.

But the ensuing battle did not happen, but Tu Hai and they quickly lifted the battle alarm, and the fleet made a big turn and firmly protected the fleet.

Immediately, the two fleets erupted into a burst of enthusiastic shouts, and countless sailors from dozens of warships poured onto the deck, cheering at each other, and the sound of the explosion resounded in the sky, because their fleet that had gone to Obaro had returned, and it was full of houses.

In the fleet that was wrapped in the middle, Lin Feng and Mo Hui were standing on the deck of the big treasure ship, at this time, Lin Feng's chubby body was completely gone, replaced by a very strong figure, I saw his eyes shouting tears, and muttered softly: "Grandma, I have finally returned to Qingzhou, I have been insincere and benevolent to the thin man for more than a year." ”

And Mo Hui, the deputy commander of the Qingzhou Naval Division, also shot a ray of excitement and pride in his eyes, in the eyes of he, a dutiful soldier, he finally lived up to the trust of the huge people by bringing this fleet back to Qingzhou safely.

When Tu Hai led the fleet of warship supporters who had sailed back to Wanghai Fort Port, the port that had been deserted because of the Chinese New Year immediately became boiling, and countless soldiers and civilians poured out of Wanghai Fort, and the sound of firecrackers resounded throughout the port.

On the deck of a Daifuku ship, there were more than a dozen people who were different from the Orientals, some of them had blonde hair, some were red-haired, and their faces were completely different from those of the Ming people.

"My dear, is this the Great Ming of the East? This port looks so big! ”

A pleasant voice rang out on the deck, and a dignified-looking red-haired woman with a few freckles on her face exclaimed in amazement, this woman was Lillian, who had come to the East with her boyfriend James.

Zams, who looked into the distance with his girlfriend, looked at the port dressed in white and silver, and his eyes also showed shock, as the saying goes, the layman looks at the lively insider's doorway, James who has been running the ship for nearly ten years has been to many ports home, but he has never seen this port today, which is composed of ten long docks.

James visually inspected that each of these wharves was at least 300 meters long, which meant that each wharf could accommodate ten ships of more than 800 tons, which was already a large port by today's Western standards.

Moreover, Zams also saw that there were at least twenty ships moored in the harbor, and these ships were at least large warships of more than 800 tons.

"This fleet is a terrible warship even in the West." Zams thought to himself.

"Honey, what are you thinking!"

Lilian on the side saw her silent boyfriend, shook his arm and asked curiously.

James was taken aback and hurriedly replied, "Oh, it's okay, I'm just sighing, I didn't expect that there is such a huge port in the far east, which is bigger than our port in Amsterdam." ”

"That is, this is one of the largest ports in my Ming Dynasty today?"

At this moment, a voice came from behind them, and the Zams looked back to see that it was their employer and boss, Mr. Kong Lin.

I saw Kong Lin pointing to the port in front of him and said with a smile in half-baked Dutch: "Well, this port was only built the year before last, and there is more than one such port." ”

"Oh, are there any more ports like this?" James and the others were surprised.

"That's it!" The mention of this stubble can confirm that Kong Lin's itch was scratched, and he saw his eyebrows fluttering and said: "In Dengzhou, which is hundreds of miles away from here, the port there is also contracted and built, and I will take you to see it if I have the opportunity." ”

After drifting on the sea for nearly a year and getting along with those Dutch for more than half a year, Kong Lin unknowingly became infected with the hearty surname of Westerners, and at this moment he was able to boast about his "heroic deeds" to these Yiren who came from afar, which made his vanity feel satisfied.

"Oh, boss, you're so powerful, I didn't think you could contract such a big project."

"Of course, although your boss and I have only contracted a small part of it, it is also a big project."

Just as Kong Lin was boasting triumphantly to his subordinates, there was a stirring in front of him.

"Hey, what the hell is going on, why don't you let you get off the boat in front?" At this time, a sailor who came with the ship pointed ahead in surprise and said, "Look, why are there so many sergeants at the docks?" ”

Kong Lin and the others looked in the direction of the water finger, and saw a group of sergeants in red armor running in front of them, they were holding rifles, and they were running towards the dock with neat steps, and some of them had already come to the dock and blocked the dock.

"Boss, these soldiers aren't here to arrest us, are they?"

James and Lillian, who were on the side, looked at the situation in front of them and couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly asked their employer.

", you can't catch me if you arrest anyone!"

Kong Lin glared at them, and said secretly in his heart: "Your boss, I am Pang Gang's eldest brother, as long as Lao Tzu doesn't commit a crime, who dares to arrest me." ”

Although they said so, the people on the boat were still a little uneasy when they saw so many soldiers coming to the port and stopped the dock to prevent the people on the boat from getting off the boat.

They waited for another half an hour, until the people on board were a little impatient, when there was a sound of horses' hooves from ahead, and black dots appeared on the land to the north, and these black dots soon appeared in the eyes of everyone.

It turned out to be hundreds of cavalry, and these cavalry were speeding towards the port.

Soon, the figures of these cavalry slowly appeared in the eyes of everyone, and when this group of cavalry appeared on the dock, everyone saw clearly that this was a team of more than 300 people, led by a burly general wearing a battle armor made of red steel.

He wore a helmet on his head, and the helmet was covered with red fluff, while the cavalry behind him were all carrying rifles and scimitars at their waists.

Seeing the comers, the soldiers and civilians on the dock immediately began to cheer loudly again, and the whistling sound soared into the sky.

"Long live, long live King Zhou!"

Amid the cheers of the crowd, the people who came couldn't stop waving their hands to the soldiers and civilians on the dock.

"Who is this man, is he your king?"

Seeing the cheering crowd in the port, James and the others couldn't help but be stunned, looking ahead in surprise one by one, and Lilian asked her boss stupidly.

Seeing these surprised looks, Kong Lin replied with a smile: "Yes, he is what I told you, the ruler of the Ming Kingdom in the East, my brother-in-law, the general of Dingguo, Pang Gang."
