After more than ten days of busywork, six Galen warships, two Galen merchant ships, and six clippers of less than 100 tons were rushed out, loaded with the necessary fresh water, food, honeycomb coal, medicine, and hundreds of reserve sailors, and the army was ready to board.

At the beginning of April 15, the sixth year of the Apocalypse, Zhao Lie led everyone to board the ship, and Alexandra, Zhao Meng, Wanji, Zhao Feng, Zhao E and others went to the dock to see them off.

After Zhao Meng, Zhao Feng, Zhao E and Zhao Lie said goodbye, Alexandra stepped forward,

"Zhao Lie, this is for you, take it with you as if I am by your side." Alexandra handed Zhao Lie a silver necklace, which Alexandra usually wears close to her body and represents her heart.

"Thanks, Alexandra. I'll definitely wear it close to my body. Zhao Lie took it and put it around his neck, and Alexandra smiled and helped him straighten it.

Zhao Lie protected her with his hands and hugged Alexandra tightly to his chest. Alexandra naturally fell on Zhao Lie's chest and wrapped her arms around Zhao Lie's waist.

When he arrived, the Zhao family and others looked around, there was immorality, there was immorality.

However, on the dock, there are still many pairs of eyes on the boat secretly looking at the two of them, and the scenery is unique.

"Ahem, second brother, ahem, in public, um......" Zhao Meng, as the boss of the Zhao family, couldn't help but speak, secretly attached in his heart, although the Zhao family is a martial artist, not the sour and rotten family, but, second brother, you are too abrupt, there are so many people around, it's about the same.

Here is Muñoz and other Portuguese captains indifferent, this is a common thing in Portugal, the seafarer's sea, return is a tragicomedy, the family, lovers' worries, hugging each other, kissing in order to encourage, when returning safely, the ecstatic celebration of family and lover has lasted for more than a century, not to mention hugging, kissing on the spot is commonplace, the two in front of them are just hugging, are already very regular.

Zhao Lie and Alexandra smiled and looked at each other and let go of each other.

Zhao Lie and the captains boarded the ship in turn, the ships set sail in turn, sailed out of Shidao Bay, Alexandra held Zhao E and watched Wei Qing disappear at the mouth of the bay from afar, tears were left in the eyes of the two, Zhao E just knew that the second brother sailed, there was danger, I don't know how dangerous, Alexandra set off from Portugal through the Mediterranean, the Red Sea, the Indian Ocean, Goa, Malacca, all the way to Daming, knowing the fury of the sea, the last moment the sea was still calm, the next moment suddenly there will be a storm, the next moment is the storm is coming, So that you can only pray for good luck accompaniment, don't encounter hurricanes, helpless, this time, Zhao Lie and his entourage are not only sailing along the mainland, a large part of the ocean is walking, the risk is very different from the last trip to Macau.

The two Huo Qubing and Chen Tang were in the front, Xingkaihu and Hongzehu were in the center, Wei Qing and Li Guang were behind, Peng Yue was on the left, Zhou Yafu was on the right, and the fleet of fourteen ships slowly sailed south.

Zhao Lie was pleased to see the sailors on the Weiqing skillfully adjust the sails, large skews, small skews, and mainmast sails to respond to the wind direction, at this time the southwest monsoon prevailed, and the ships were moving forward with the side wind, this is the most testing time for sailors, and they must constantly adjust the sails and make full use of the wind direction to wind forward.

"Mr. Muñoz, the two months of training have been very fruitful, and the sailors have become very skilled." Zhao Lie said with satisfaction, judging from the performance of the sailors, the hard work in the past few months has not been in vain, and these foreign masters are indeed dedicated.

"Yes, my lord, after two months of training, I estimate that such a Ming sailor can have ninety percent of the skills of a Portuguese sailor, and he can travel independently after this voyage." Muñoz is also for the Ming people's obedience, patience, wisdom sighed, is really a unique nation, no wonder Western countries have to go to the Ming to buy raw silk, silk, porcelain and other valuables, even if it is an indigenous people, it is also a special existence among the indigenous people. Well, Mr. Muñoz still has a great sense of superiority, after all, he is a member of the Portuguese Empire.

Zhao Lie didn't know what Muñoz thought, otherwise, Zhao Lie would definitely kick him off the deck and let him taste what the muddy yellow water of the Yellow Sea was like.

The ship sailed at a speed of only three knots and less than four knots, and it was extremely slow to sail over the vast sea.

Zhao Lie's trip began to encounter all kinds of sentinel ships off the coast of Zhejiang as usual, but this time, all the fleets of Portuguese Galen ships were not disturbed, after all, most of them were the fleets of Galen warships, and the general pirates could not gnaw, and these forces were also very interesting.

Of course, the Franji people had natural enemies, and when the fleet approached the southern waters of Zhejiang, Zhao Lie ordered the fleet to be on guard, which was already in the Netherlands' sphere of influence and had to be on guard.

At the end of this day, Huo Qu's sick horn in front of him sounded three horns and sounded the alarm.

Zhao Liechen finished practicing, just had breakfast, heard the sound of the horn, and hurriedly came to the deck with Muñoz, a tea time, a mast and sail were exposed in front of him, Zhao Lie raised the telescope, the upper body of a ship appeared in the mirror, faintly the flag of the Netherlands, Zhao Lie and Muñoz looked at each other, nodded, and the Netherlands There is no peace with the Dutch only guns. Suddenly, the horn of the cannon to remind the whole fleet to prepare for war sounded.

Fan. Brooke. Captain Vest was in a very good mood a quarter of an hour ago, this time to Nagasaki trade, the Dutch merchant ships have obtained the same trade opportunities as the Portuguese and the Spaniards, which was unimaginable before, especially the trade of gold and silver was previously exclusive to the Portuguese, Spaniards, and Ming merchants, and other merchants had no chance, but this time the Dutch merchants had this opportunity for the first time, and it seems that the Japanese general was deeply disgusted by the missionary behavior of the Portuguese and Spaniards in Japan, and had begun to break with them. This is a great opportunity for the Dutch to dominate the Japanese market.

This time, West made the decision for the Dutch East India Company with spices, Ming silk, silk, Gothic full-body plate armor, half-body plate armor, in exchange for 10,000 taels of gold, 30,000 taels of silver, the heart is very happy, the so-called Japanese general probably does not know that the gold and silver exchanged in Japan 1 to 67, in Europe the exchange ratio is 1 to 15, this trip is a big profit, this kind of profit West has never experienced, no wonder the Portuguese, the Spanish in Macau, the Philippines have such financial resources to build castles, forts, Batavia is a village by comparison, but West believes that the Netherlands will soon be over. Spain no longer has the strength to build a large fleet, and Portugal, Spain's small henchman, is even more weak. Thinking of the supplies of the people who were about to go to Formosa, he could rest comfortably and be in a good mood.

However, the next moment, his good mood was gone, and the lookout told him that a flotilla had appeared on the sea behind him, and it was the Galen fleet.

Vest hurried to the aft of the aft deck and looked through binoculars, only to see the shadows of six ships revealed one by one, only to see four warships and two merchant ships, which he could not compete with, and when he saw the flag on the lookout, he was shocked, "God, it is the hateful Portuguese." "In the last thirty years, due to the Netherlands' continuous robbery of the Portuguese, harassing the Portuguese's overseas territories, and even plundering the largest Portuguese merchant ship, the Santa Catanina, the two countries are mortal enemies, and six ships are really fatal to his two armed merchant ships, you must know that one ship is twelve guns, including one eighteen-pounder gun, two twelve-pounder guns, four nine-pounder guns, five six-pounder guns, and the two ships of the Assen together are only more than twenty guns, and only one of the other side's warships has more guns, The other party has four warships, how to fight, the difference in strength is too great, just when West has no idea, a shout came from the lookout, "Captain West, there are two more warships behind." The voice was not faintly heard, but for Vest it was a talisman, he was like falling into an ice cave.
