Chapter 82: The First Meeting of the Two Heroes
Due to the refurbishment of the ship, the so-called duel on the second day was postponed, Zhao Lie's anger went down a little, and he couldn't help but secretly laugh at his small family spirit because of anger, in the end, he couldn't become a mature politician, however, Zhao Lie didn't plan to let go of Abelardo easily, after all, the Spanish massacre of the Ming people has only been decades past, and the next Philippine massacre is also coming soon, every once in a while, Spain's business and strength in the Philippines will be harvested as soon as the business and strength of the Chinese in the Philippines recovers, in short, they can't do without the Chinese, and the Chinese are good helpers for their trade, but the Chinese will never be allowed to grow bigger.
On the sixth day after the battle, Zhao Lie ordered Abelardo and his five captains to be brought to the deck of the Weiqing, and Abelardo's full-body armor and his battle axe were brought with him.
Abelardo and Zhao Lie didn't say much, they each wore their own clothes, they both wore Gothic armor all over their bodies, Zhao Lie held a Yanling knife in his hand, and the tall Abelardo used a short-handled battle axe, which showed his strength, so he dared to challenge without shame, Abelardo, who had been the object of careful cultivation by the family since he was a child, was very confident in his own strength.
Zhao Lie stood with a Yanling knife in his hand, looking at Abelardo coldly, Abelardo pulled down his mask, only revealing a pair of eyes, but he was also a majestic strong man, he took two steps forward with a giant axe, and slashed Zhao Lie with both axes, Zhao Lie's huge body flashed dexterously, Abelardo split the air, Zhao Lie did not fight back, Abelardo backhand wheel axe continued to attack Zhao Lie, but it seemed very powerful and fast, a few times in a row, Zhao Lie dodged one after another, Abelardo's thick hands and strong limbs gave him great strength, He roared and continued to rush towards Zhao Lie, this time, Zhao Lie did not move, he split Huashan with a knife in both hands, Abelardo blocked with an axe, only to hear a loud noise, Zhao Lie's Yanling knife was raised upward, Abelardo's giant axe was skewed downward, Zhao Lie was another knife, Abelardo was blocked again, only heard properly, when, dang, the constant sound of iron, what stunned the Spaniards on the side was that Zhao Lie shook Abelardo with a knife, if Zhao Lie's side knife would have slashed Abelardo to death, but Zhao Lie just kept splitting Huashan, It's just that the force is great and fast, Abelardo can only block, and there is no time to counterattack, so a series of more than a dozen attacks are hilarious, Abelardo is as clumsy as a clown, and others can see Zhao Lie's teasing. The Ming soldiers who were watching the battle laughed and scolded Abelardo's ugliness while cheering loudly for Zhao Lie's bravery.
After a few more rounds, Abelar also understood the meaning of Zhao Lie's play, he gasped for breath, his arms were numb, his legs were weak, and he knew in his heart that he was invincible to the Ming man opposite, this was not a human, but a half-human and half-beast warrior in ancient Greek mythology.
At this time, Yu Dabao gloated and laughed twice, the laughter was extremely unkind and harsh.
Abelardo's blood-filled pupil man flicked the axe and closed his eyes to die.
Zhao Lie's knife was at the end, and he was busy turning to split from Abelardo's side,
"If you want to die, it's not so easy, and you will be punished with ten years of hard labor to atone for your sins."
Muñoz gloated and translated, of course he liked to hear about the embarrassment of the Spanish lord.
When Abelardo saw Muñoz's expression, he understood that his eyes were laughing at himself yesterday, because this Portuguese must have known that this Ming man was brave. Thinking of this, I am even more ashamed.
The other five captains were also unrecognizable.
It's a shame to be thrown into the Pacific Ocean, when did the Spaniards let the natives be so slapped and humiliated in the face, this has always been the repertoire of the Spaniards.
Zhao Lie, who was relieved, ordered the six people to be taken down to serve on the ship to do chores, take off their armor and drink tea to rest.
"My lord, I still slashed him with a knife, see if he still has a fucking hard mouth." Yu Dabao pouted regretfully and said.
"Go, you know what, it's just that he is worse off than dead, and it's cheaper for him to die so painfully." Zhao Lie despised Yu Dabao's IQ.
"I haven't heard of it, it's worse than death." Yu Dazui muttered on the side.
Zhao Lie ignored him, his loyalty was commendable, but his heart was almost empty.
The flotilla returned with a tailwind, sailed at a speed of seven or eight knots, and everything went well, and a few days later, they came to the waters of Tainan.
At noon on this day, the first Peng Yue issued an alarm, Zhao Lie ordered Huo Qubing and Chen Tang, who were in full combat strength, to advance, Wei Qing led Zhou Yafu and Huo Qubing to follow, and Geng Yi, Feng Yi, and Ma Yuan, who were so-so, protected the rest of the ships that were empty.
Zheng Zhilong attacked several times in the past six months, annihilating half of the big ships of the Fujian naval division, and the land team led by Zheng Zhibao attacked Xiamen, Zhangzhou, Quanzhou and other places several times, and the pirate leaders Liu Xiang, Li Kuiqi, Zhong Bin and others took the opportunity to move, and for a time the beacon fire burned all over the coastal areas of Fujian, and the Fujian Ming army was defeated by sea and land. In fact, Zheng Zhilong studied the Dutch tactics, that is, to harass the coastal areas of Fujian, and also learned the lessons of the Dutch people, first not to fight a decisive battle with the Fujian naval division, but to annihilate part of it in the process of mobilizing the Fujian naval division, strengthen himself, and then fight a decisive battle.
In the face of such a situation, Fujian officialdom understands that there is only one way, only the main force of the sailors who defeat the pirates can solve the problem once and for all, otherwise, the pirates take a guerrilla attack by boat, and there are loopholes everywhere, and the poor few war barracks on the ground in Fujian are running around, fighting fires everywhere, often they arrive, the pirates are gone, they are gone, the pirates are coming, they can only be tired of running for their lives, and they accidentally fall into the ambush of the pirates. Therefore, only the great victory of the Navy Division is the fundamental solution to the Fujian pirates, but the main force of the Fujian Navy Division, which was known as the first Navy Division of the Ming Dynasty in the past, has now lost more than half, and has no choice but to avoid the main force of the pirates. At this point, Fujian pirates were no longer uncontrollable.
Due to the looted goods, the ship quickly expanded Zheng Zhilong's team, now nearly 300 ships, more than 40,000 people, Zheng Zhilong is full of spirit, he understands that the day when most of the Fujian sailors were annihilated, is the time for him to discuss with the Ming Dynasty to appease. Of course, the other leaders Liu Xiang, Li Kuiqi, and Zhong Bin are not fuel-efficient lamps, when the Daming Sailor was annihilated and the Fujian Sea was controlled by pirates, a big battle would definitely break out in order to master the flowing galaxy, and that would be a life-and-death naval battle. However, Zheng Zhilong has long been preparing for this. He believed that he would definitely defeat these Cuoda and dominate the Ming Sea.
In the past two months, the coastal areas of Fujian have been too fierce, the number of maritime merchants has been greatly reduced, and the income has dropped sharply, Zheng Zhilong is ready to go to the Chaoshan area in eastern Guangdong to loot goods and ships, for this reason, Zheng Zhilong left Zheng Zhihu in charge, and he took Zheng Zhibao, Zheng Cai and other 80 big ships, nearly 200 small boats set off from Tainan, stretching for more than ten miles, Zheng Zhilong stood on his own Dafu boat and looked at the majestic posture of the sailors under his command, and could not help but be full of pride.
Nearly noon on this day, the sentinel ship in front came to report, encountered the Fran machine brigade, Zheng Zhilong was not frightened when he heard this, although he was close to the Dutch at the moment, but he did not tear his face with the Fran man, this is the way to survive at sea, I don't know when friends become enemies, enemies become friends. Moreover, the Franciscans fought the Dutch even more fiercely, and there was no time to go to war with him.
At the time of the meal, he saw a large number of sail shadows on the sea in front of him, the towering enemy tower of the Galen ship, the huge sail, the strange oblique sail appeared in front of him, and the flag of the Francosian man fluttered on the enemy tower, which was really a familiar scene, which reminded him of the past years in Macao.
At first, there were a few weird low sailing ships, and then three Galen warships passed by, which made Zheng Zhilong's eyes red, no one knew the power of the Galen warship better than him, however, the Galen warship Franc machine people did not sell out, and you only had greed, and then three larger warships sailed by, at this time Zheng Zhilong found a problem, most of the sailors were Ming people, which had never appeared before, before, although the Macau Franc machine people bought a lot of Ming people as slaves to make up for their lack of manpower, but they had never appointed Ming people in the army, Not to mention the Galen warship, which was regarded as an eyeball by the Francos. It was a completely new situation, and he couldn't help but think about it speechlessly, but he was soon interrupted by the exclamation of his subordinates, who looked forward and were as stunned as his subordinates.
I saw that two tall Western-style galleons sailed over, with heavy multi-layered decks, huge eight bulging sails, huge diagonal sail masts pointed forward like sharp swords, and four towering mainmasts, domineering and exposed to shock these Ming pirates who have been at sea all year round.
This was followed by six large Galen merchant ships.
Zheng Zhilong salivated at this fleet, if he got them, with the existing large and small warships, he could immediately dominate the sea off the coast of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Zhilong estimated whether he could swallow this fleet now, and smiled bitterly, he gave up, there was no certainty of victory, although his subordinates were brave and brave, and they could besiege the enemy ships with fireboats, but even if they could burn the enemy ships, it was useless, what he wanted was to capture the enemy ships, otherwise he would offend the Francose people in vain.
When the seven large and small warships appeared next, Zheng Zhilong's greed immediately dissipated, and three of the seven battleships were more than half the size of the two giant ships.
The strength of the Fran robot fleet can only make him sigh with admiration, ashamed of himself, Zheng Zhilong laughed self-deprecatingly, and secretly attached himself to go to the east of Guangdong to fight in the grass valley to accumulate strength, and it is not his cup of tea now.
