"What if they don't turn around?" The salesman's voice was as cold as ice. "The United East India Company cannot afford to completely cut off trade with the East until the colonization of South Africa is more productive."

"Then let them go?" The captain asked in surprise. "According to the report of the Port of Beaufort, Chinese may be preparing to establish a colonization port in South Africa??????"

"Even if this fleet is eliminated, the Chinese will not necessarily give up building a port in South Africa." The clerk said bitterly. "Now the key is not what the Chinese think, but the company must speed up the construction in South Africa, as long as we occupy the right harbor, the Chinese have no foothold, there is no need to worry about the colonization of South Africa that they directly send a large fleet." After saying this, the merchant looked at the slightly dissatisfied captain and said. "Of course, we can't just forget it, catch up, scare the Chinese, in case there is a chance to force them to disperse the ships and turn around and fight a decisive battle?"

"My lord, the Dutch are chasing after you, the ship, the ship has passed four sections, and [Yunzi No. 77] has no way to escape." The actions of the Dutch caused great psychological pressure on the Xia Jun exploration team, whether to abandon their companions and escape by themselves, or to take their own lives to save Paoze. "My lord, what shall we do now?"

"Give the [Dousu No. 57] banner." The commander of the ship [Onijuku Thirty Nine] ordered Mia and looked at the Dutch fleet that was getting closer and closer, and was in pain. "This ship bears heavy responsibilities and cannot escort the [Yunzi No. 77] ??????"

The frustration of discarding his comrades made Mia and feel like a deserter, but what stimulated him even more was that after observing the [Yunzi No. 77] signal flag of the [Ghost Su Thirty Nine] signal flag playing the reply flag asking the two letter ships to go first, the leading [Dou Su Fifty-seven] resolutely lowered the degree and issued a flag to the [Ghost Su Thirty Nine], "Our ship will escort [Yun Zi Seventy-seven], your ship's task is heavy, please hurry first".

"My lord," the deputy commander, who also looked bitter, said to Mia and accountability. "Do we really want to leave [Yunzi No. 77] and [Dousu No. 57] and run away first?"

Looking at the officers and soldiers who were all watching him, Mia and clenched the pamphlet in his hand: "This is more important??????

Under the manipulation of the officers and men who sighed and sighed, the [Onisu No. 9], which had waved the banner of "cherishing," raised its full sails, and then the wind pushed it like an arrow from a string to sweep past the two friendly ships that were ahead of the line, and sailed in the direction of the equator without looking back.

"It's a good journey." After blessing the departing comrades-in-arms, the commander of the [Dousu 57] ship, Jiao Qi, resolutely ordered. "Attention, cut to the rear of [Yunzi No. 77], all the cannon doors are opened, Hongyi is just a defeated general of our men, even if they are outnumbered, they have to bite off a piece of meat."

The officers and soldiers on the [Dousu No. 57] are silently preparing, in fact, everyone knows what awaits them - [Dousu No. 57] is just an eighteen-gun first-class letter ship, and [Yunzi No. 77] Although there are also twelve guns on the upper deck, they are all small Francophone cannons, light mortar guns and official hat guns used by the anti-jump gang, so they are almost useless in the artillery battle, and on the other hand, on the Dutch side, just the first two cruisers of the twenty-eight-gun or more level are enough for the Xia army sailors to drink a pot, Not to mention that there were a few 4oo-ton armed merchant ships behind - the question now is how long the remaining two ships of the Xia Army can hold out, but none of the officers and soldiers who have long been awakened have cried and been depressed because of this.

Closer, closer, the Dutch warship was already clearly visible, and even the black cannon in the open gun door could be seen clearly, at this time the officers and soldiers on the two auxiliary ships of the Xia Army were waiting one by one, ready to write the most splendid chapter of their lives in this strange and exotic sea.

"Heaven bless," at this time, even the most resolute people couldn't help but pray to the gods and Buddhas. "If Nobuo can escape death this time, he will definitely give you a golden body when he returns??????"

"Your Excellency, our plan seems to have worked." On the Dutch flagship, the captain reported to the merchant again. "The Chinese ship that fled to the southeast is in hot pursuit."

The merchant walked to the side of the ship and carefully observed the direction of the [Changfeng] with a telescope: "The degree of the Chinese ship is really fast enough, it is said that the company has received the lessons of the defeat in the naval battles of the Sulawesi Sea and the Battle of Savu, and is ready to build some fast sailing ships following the ship type of the Chinese, and I don't know when it will be launched." "With that, the clerk sighed lightly." Well, the game is over, signal to the ships, say goodbye to the Chinese. ”

There is no pun in Dutch, so the so-called goodbye really represents farewell and distancing, and the captain asked with some disappointment: "Your Excellency, although the Chinese's 4o gunboat is powerful, the [Kainell] also has 36 guns, plus the 32 guns of the [Windmill], it can completely deal with this catching warship, as for the remaining communication ships and transport ships of the Chinese, the [Justin] and other ships can also be easily defeated, why give up the victory in hand?" ”

"Your Excellency, Commander, our plan was not entirely successful, didn't there still a communication ship leave alone?" The clerk rehashed the old words. "As long as a ship is not destroyed, the news of our attack on the Chinese will spread throughout Africa and Arabia." No, even if the escaped communication ship did not send the news back home, as long as he entered the Russian ports in Africa, the French and Portuguese would gladly spread the news of their attack to the Chinese authorities. In addition, the fleet still has a large number of goods to be shipped to Persia and Oman, which are very important for today's companies and cannot afford to lose either. So, please do my orders and get out of here! ”

"Hongyi, Hongyi, this is detached? What's going on? Did the [Changfeng] kill from the rear? When the officers and soldiers of the Huaxia Navy Division on the two boats cheered and celebrated their escape, Jiao Qi felt extremely puzzled. Strange thing, this butcher has really changed his career to a vegetarian? "But no matter how much you wonder, it's always a good thing not to have to fight with the enemy." Have you seen it clearly, what kind of class flag is hanging on the other party's flagship? ”

"It's a major flag." The lookout post reported that the official position converted into Huaxia should be five grades. "The official is not small."

"Major flag?" Jiao Qi touched his chin, he was a first-class messenger of the letter ship, from the sixth rank, his status was far inferior to the other party. "Order, fire the salute." Looking at his dumbfounded subordinates, Jiao Qi smiled. "Let's test it and see how Hongyi reacts."

Jiao Qi had nothing to do, and someone on the side naturally dissuaded: "My lord, don't let [Changfeng] misunderstand, then it will be troublesome." ”

"That's just as well." Jiao Qi thought about it, and yes, in order to prevent these brothers around him from dying of a misunderstanding, he ordered with kindness. "Okay, give the signal to [Yunzi No. 77], and let's follow it, so as not to make jokes if we go crazy."

The two troops that were once very close to each other slowly distanced themselves, which made the anxious Tang Yuntao and Zhu Zhongwu breathe a sigh of relief: "Hongyi doesn't dare to fight, this is a good thing, and then we can slowly explore the coastal ports." ”

Because he almost fought side by side, Zhu Zhongwu's attitude also eased, and he took the initiative to say to Tang Yuntao: "Wait, are you asking [Dousu No. 57] to recall [Ghost Suzu No. 9]?" ”

"It doesn't have to be." Tang Yuntao explained. "Hongyi didn't dare to fight, most of them saw that they couldn't catch up with [Ghost Su No. 9], and they didn't want the country to know that they had broken the contract and took the initiative to provoke, so they didn't have to worry about [Ghost Su No. 9] being lost." As long as the ship of the Xia Junxin reported to the ship, as long as it wanted to run, the other ships could not catch up at all. "Just find the time to meet at Fort Mozambique."

Zhu Zhongwu reminded: "We don't care, I'm just afraid that these days, the brothers on the [Ghost Residence No. 9] will not have a good time." ”

Tang Yuntao suddenly came to his senses and said: "What Lord Zhu said is very true, after waiting for the convergence, please trouble Lord Zhu to notify [Dousu No. 57] to chase back [Ghost Susu No. 9]." ”

At this point, the two of them had completely disappeared, and the result of the harmony between the generals and commanders was that in the following days, the expedition team appeared five or six large and small harbors suitable for colonization, and finally drew a successful end to this exploration. When entering Fort Maputo to rest, the two men, together with the ship's commanders such as Jiaoqi, Miahe, and others, sorted out the hydrographic materials of the expedition in detail, formed a written report, and copied several copies in case they were lost.

It's just that when they were preparing to sail back, everyone's disagreement appeared again: "Xia Guan thinks that since he is here, he should also explore Moon Island by the way, lest the imperial court will send someone to go again next time." ”

"As a brother, you can't become a fat man by eating in one breath, there are too many choices, which makes it difficult for the court to choose." Jiao Qi retorted Mia and Dao. "Besides, Moon Island is not the southern foot of the sparsely populated Xihe Niuzhou, and there are disputes between the warring states on the island, so let's rush to it, I'm afraid it will cause misunderstanding among the natives."

Mia and insisted: "Misunderstanding? What is there to be misunderstood. With such a big island in front of you, will the merchants who come and go not be able to see it? Not to mention that Xiyi may trade on the shore, the African trade route has really opened, and the merchants of this dynasty have to go to the island to trade. ”

Gu Botao, the commander of the ship [Yunzi No. 77], said sarcastically with a gun and a stick: "When will we wait for the officers and soldiers to open the way for these merchants, Master Mi, you are unique." ”

"Master Gu, what do you mean by that?" Mia and almost jumped.

"Alright, stop arguing." Jiao Qi said in a round field. "The two adults are still watching."

Seeing the eyes of the three ship commanders fall on him, Tang Yuntao asked Zhu Zhongwu: "Lord Zhu, do you think it is necessary for us to go on a journey?" ”

"Let's go." Zhu Zhongwu thought for a while and responded. "Anyway, the return journey has to pass through, and it's a big deal to resupply it again on the territory of France or Franco."

Zhu Zhongwu's construction is not to conduct a comprehensive investigation, but only to investigate by the way, which can be regarded as a compromise, and Tang Yuntao also agreed: "Then let's do it??????"
