[Today's first update]

The sunrise on the sea was particularly early, and Deng Haonan felt that he had just fallen asleep before dawn. Talking with Huang Zupei last night did benefit a lot and felt a lot.

After Huang Zupei's analysis and guidance, Deng Haonan saw his current situation clearly. As Huang Zupei said, Deng Haonan's shoulders are narrow and can't be shaken at the moment, and it will take time to accumulate strength. Blindly aiming too far will eventually outweigh the gains.

Coming to the outside of the battlement, Deng Haonan stretched his waist beautifully.

As far as the eye can see, the sky of the Ming Dynasty is turquoise, blue is lofty, blue is pure, and blue is transparent. Holding the battlement tower and looking into the distance, the sea and sky are the same, and the gulls and birds are flying.

Rare clean sea. It is like a hibiscus out of water, a rose with dew. If you sniff it, you will feel that it is fresh, moist, and without the slightest pollution, which makes Deng Haonan's heart feel pure.

The crew of No. 100 was repairing the warship under the command of Huang Zupei and Lin Feng at the moment, and they didn't have time to take a closer look at their warship yesterday, and at this time, Deng Haonan was dumbfounded. I saw that the warship was beaten like a beggar, and there were holes everywhere, and it was rare to see a complete place. There were also a lot of holes in the sails, and the hull was damaged in varying degrees except for a few major parts that were relatively intact.

It's tragic! Deng Haonan sighed in his heart, he didn't have this feeling during the fierce battle yesterday, and after seeing it at this time, he couldn't imagine how he survived yesterday! . If I had to do it again, I might not have the courage to fight to the death like yesterday.

Everyone was busy, the clanging of hammers against hardwood, and the sound of hacksaws cutting through wood, as if they were back in the carpenter's room.

At ten o'clock in the afternoon, the ship was almost repaired! Since yesterday the things on the ship were still seventy-seven or eighty-eight, and even there were problems with eating. Therefore, Deng Haonan had to order the warships to sail close to the mainland to find port supplies.

※※※

The sun was shining, and the breeze was blowing, gently rocking the ships docked in the harbor.

In the afternoon, when Deng Haonan's big ship entered this small port, it immediately caused a commotion. However, after seeing that Deng Haonan and the others were not hostile, the men, women, and children in the port returned to normal.

The sea ban in the Ming Dynasty was also "three days of fishing and two days of drying nets", due to the shortage of border guards and sailors, they could not support the responsibility of coastal defense at all. Therefore, even if the imperial court did not issue a sea ban, they would still ban the sea from time to time. However, the coastal people need to live on the sea, and the sea ban cannot be carried out indefinitely, otherwise the chaos will be worse, and the magistrates will have to pay taxes every year. Therefore, every once in a while, they will also allow ordinary people to go to sea.

The common people are anxious to catch fish and sell seafood, so as long as they are not here to rob, they will treat each other warmly and sell their goods.

After landing, Deng Haonan ordered Lin Feng and Huzi to stay behind, while he took Huang Zupei and Da Niu, plus some well-dressed disciples of the Wutang to come down to purchase.

Near the pier is the market, and there is a constant stream of people who come to trade. Not only can you see businessmen from neighboring states and counties, but also occasionally some foreigners from Portugal, Siam and other countries.

Knowing from the local population that this is the official wharf of the Ming Chongwu Guard, Deng Haonan looked around with a weak heart, but did not find the official army, so he breathed a sigh of relief. After all, there are cannons on his ship, and the law of the Ming Dynasty strictly orders the people to own warships, Deng Haonan wants to say that he is a good citizen, who believes it?

Without further ado, Deng Haonan took out the only fifty taels of silver he had from his family as a procurement fund. However, they were also able to buy some food and household items, as well as some repair equipment and wood. I wanted to buy shells and gunpowder, but unfortunately after asking around, no one dumped him.

After more than an hour, the purchased things are almost the same. Huang Zupei said that it was not advisable to stay here for a long time, and everyone hurriedly returned to the warship.

A further southwest of the Chongwu Guard is the Jinjiang River, where Yang Tiansheng's sphere of influence is. And after walking south on the Sanjiu waterway, it is Yan Siqi's old nest Kinmen Island. Kinmen Island was originally the jurisdiction of the Daming Golden Gate Guard, but now it is occupied by Yan Siqi, you can imagine how arrogant the Twenty-Eight Brothers Alliance is!

According to Huang Zupei's Jianyì, Deng Haonan went to Kinmen to seek refuge with Yan Siqi.

At the beginning of the afternoon, a large ship suddenly appeared thirty miles northeast of Kinmen Island. Suddenly, the alarm bell was raised, and Deng Haonan and others hurriedly came out to check the situation.

Damn it! It's a Dutch warship! Deng Haonan recognized the annoying tricolor flag at a glance.

I saw that the Dutch warship was sailing high, blown by the wind, and was speeding towards Deng Haonan from behind.

"Full sails! Burn the wind! Deng Haonan hurriedly ordered to run away.

Let's not mention that Deng Haonan didn't have shells at this time, and even if they did, they would only have to run away in the face of the Dutch warships at sea.

Deng Haonan asked Huang Zupei, "How far is it?" ”

Huang Zupei replied: "It is estimated that there should be thirty miles!" ”

Deng Haonan sighed: "The Dutch ship is fast, and it will catch up with us in less than half an hour!" ”

Lin Feng on the side said: "Master! If we fire a few cannons to scare the Dutch, let them know that we are not merchant ships, they may not chase us!" ”

Deng Haonan and Huang Zupei glanced at each other, there was no other way at the moment, and immediately nodded in agreement.

Knock knock!

The six guns on the starboard side opened fire together, and although there were no shells, the sound of the empty guns was equally deafening, and the muzzles of the guns were full of fog, which did not weaken morale.

It's just that to everyone's surprise, it's okay not to fire, this one. Suddenly the Dutch were furious, and they saw the fire of the opposing warship flickering, followed by an overwhelming cannonball whistling in.

There was a rumbling cannon sound, and the waves around the warship on Deng Haonan's side suddenly rolled like boiling, and the ship's broken wood flew sideways, and everyone lay down to dodge.

Deng Haonan sprayed the blood of the Dutch scolding in his heart, and greeted their ancestors for eighteen generations.

Creeping to the battlement, Deng Haonan looked at the Dutch battleship with a clairvoyant eye, only to see that the other side was advancing rapidly in the "" route, making full use of the wind, and in a blink of an eye, he switched the firing direction and opened fire with the guns on the other side of the ship.

At this time, Huang Zupei arched his body and ran quickly to Deng Haonan's side, and said: "Mr. Xi, this ship seems to be very close to us, it is the one that fought with us a few days ago and was bombarded by you!" ”

Deng Haonan asked, "How can you see it?" ”

Huang Zupei pointed to the statue on the bow of the other party's boat and said yes. Deng Haonan looked, and sure enough, there was a one-eyed statue carved on the bow of the other party's ship, but if you looked closely, it was the Norse mythological character Odin.

No way! Deng Haonan was shocked in his heart. The statue on the bow of the Dutch warship was strictly regulated, and the ships engraved with the statues of the main gods of Norse mythology were the main battleships, and were used as flagships to show the ship's rank in the army.

"It's not like I'm here to take revenge on Lao Tzu!" Deng Haonan said on his lips, but his heart was spinning, if he came to seek revenge on Lao Tzu, then he was really more wronged than Dou E!
