"Report to the head of the family, something is wrong! Countless huge ships came from outside, surrounding the harbor. The brothers don't know what to do, and ask the two families to decide! ”
Just as Lin Hainan and Zhang Guangdou were holding back their thoughts and preparing to follow Chen Cheng to set off, a sailor ran in, knelt on one knee and said in horror.
"What?! Do you see their flag clearly? Is it that Francois has come over and ordered" Lin Hainan's eyes shrank, and he was about to give the order to resist, when he was interrupted by Chen Cheng, who was smiling:
"Hehe, don't panic the two family masters, it's a partial division of the Wufeng fleet led by the young master of my family. Come with me to meet the young shipowner! ”
After speaking, Chen Cheng didn't talk nonsense, and took the lead out of the lobby first.
"Lao Lin, what is this Wufeng fleet for? It's not going to destroy the two of us, is it? After hesitating for a moment, he followed Chen Cheng out of the road, and whispered to Lin Hainan while walking Zhang Guangdou.
"No, if we really want to destroy it, we don't need to go through so much trouble, let's go out and have a look," shook his head, Lin Hainan said with a confused face.
"Oh my God! Is this a ship?! Walking through the dense woods and coming to the port, Lin Hainan and Zhang Guangdou were suddenly stunned by everything in front of them:
More than 50 large ships with a length of about 40 battles were all lined up, like a terrifying Great Wall on the sea, almost surrounding the entire island. In the center, a huge warship about fifty zhang long was clustered in the middle, slowly heading towards the port, and on the bow of the ship, a vicious wolf flag hunted!
The shock that these brought to Lin Hainan and Zhang Guangdou, as well as everyone on the island, can be described as shocking. Compared with these terrifying giant ships, the hundreds of ships that the Lin and Zhang families are proud of can be described as small sampans.
At this time, the huge ship stopped about 800 meters away from the pirates, and eight small boats were lowered from it, and quickly rowed in this direction.
"The two of you come with me" took in the expressions of Lin Hainan and the others, and Chen Cheng said with a smile.
At this time, Lin Hainan and Zhang Guangdou came back to their senses, and after saluting busily, they only took two guards and followed Chen Cheng to board the small boat that entered the port.
As the small ships gradually approached these giant ships, Lin Hainan and Zhang Guangdou were surprised to find that these giant ships were not huge in size, and the sides of the hull were covered with cannons with black holes.
On both sides of the ship, countless soldiers in bright armor and fierce elites, either armed with firearms or carrying bows and crossbows and swords, stood there intently. From their cold gazes, a clear message was conveyed: any enemy who dared to attack would be beaten into a sieve!
"Brother, this Five Peaks fleet won't be on the line of today's Shengshang, right?" After watching it for a long time, Zhang Guangdou asked cautiously.
"This can't be, what are you thinking about? If the saint really does this now, we guys who rush to the sea still need to wander overseas, and we don't even dare to care if the ancestral grave of our hometown is dug up? After scolding Zhang Guangdou a few words, Lin Hainan analyzed.
In fact, it is not surprising that Zhang Guangdou guessed so much, after all, the larger warships have to be willing to work hard, and there are drawings, and it doesn't cost a lot of money to build them. But artillery is different!
During the Ming Dynasty, pirates and maritime trade merchants, they rarely used artillery to fight, and most of the time they used broadside warfare, the real reason was that artillery was too expensive, really could not be equipped, and it was difficult to get it.
Artillery is such a thing, the average pirate is equipped with five, six, or fifteen guns on each ship, which is at the level of a big tyrant, and the poor ones can install a door in the bow to fill the façade.
At this time, the forging skills of artillery, as well as the production of shells, were in the hands of the imperial court and the Franco. Although pirates can buy it through various channels, the amount of money paid is undoubtedly astronomical, or even impossible to buy.
And each ship of the Wufeng fleet has at least thirty guns, and more than fifty ships, that is nearly two hundred guns!
Even if it is not a Kamui General Cannon, a medium-sized Furlong cannon, the cost of equipping so much is definitely an astronomical amount. According to Lin Hainan's estimates, if he sold everything that his Lin family and Zhang family could sell, they might not be able to afford these artillery. Not to mention the soldiers on the ship, all of them are elite!
At this time, the boat was already docked on the side of the giant ship, and Chen Cheng guided Lin Hainan and Zhang Guangdou to climb onto the big boat from the rope ladder (Sigloni was directly hoisted with a rope like a pig).
As soon as they climbed onto the warship, before Lin Hainan and Zhang Guangdou could take a closer look at the surroundings, a hearty voice came:
"Hahaha, the two heads of the family are here, the kid is far away, and I hope to forgive my sins!"
Li Rusong was dressed in white, with shark skin boots on his feet, his hair tied up behind his back, and he walked towards him with a smile, followed by Mao Haifeng and a monk in black armor.
Seeing each other coming over, Lin Hainan and Zhang Guangdou glanced at each other, knelt on their knees and kowtowed, saying:
"Lin Hainan (Zhang Guangdou) meets the young owner of the Wufeng fleet! The Lin family (Zhang family) is willing to join the Wufeng fleet, serve the young shipowner, and go to the soup and fire! ”
"Hehe, aren't these two old foxes stupid? It's not in vain, the young master specially pulled the big troops over and scared this one" Seeing all this, Li Rusong smiled secretly in his heart, but on the surface, he hurriedly stepped forward and helped the two of them up one by one.
"Alas, I originally planned to take advantage of the east wind of the Wufeng fleet to lay a foundation for our family, so I left the Wufeng fleet and went it alone. Now it seems that it is better to be honest and obedient, otherwise this is the trend of destroying the door! Respectfully saluting Li Rusong, Lin Hainan and Zhang Guangdou's hearts were full of bitterness and a hint of happiness.
The original plan of the two was to use their strength to fight, take advantage of the hatred between the Wufeng fleet and the Francois people, and sit back and watch the two sides fight to the death, and their heads will be broken, and they will come forward to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
In this way, no matter which side wins, the Lin family and the Zhang family can easily eliminate the winner, and no matter how bad it is, they can get a lot of reliance and have a lot of real power. In the future, they can gradually empty each other and establish their own country in the Philippines.
But after seeing the terrifying strength of the Wufeng fleet, Lin Hainan and Zhang Guangdou immediately put away their careful thoughts: people are so powerful, killing the Franco devil is similar to pinching an ant to death, and killing yourself is a matter of blowing a breath!
"Hehe, since the two family masters insist on joining the Wufeng fleet, Yangcheng is disrespectful, and the two of them are welcome to join the Wufeng fleet" Li Rusong did not say his name, but replaced it with the number He Xinyin gave himself.
"Hehe, the two of you came just in time, please gather the troops and capture the fortress of the Francophone tomorrow morning!"
