The anchor of the Lookout had already been raised, and when everyone had gathered, Huang Ding immediately ordered Captain Ferreira to set sail. The captive sailors began to work under the pressure of handcuffs and daggers. A sailor deceived the soldiers into not understanding and wanted to play some tricks, but was immediately stabbed on the deck by the Marines who were watching.

"So these pirates know how to sail ships!" Captain Ferreira exclaimed in his heart. He did not want to suffer such inexplicable casualties again, so he ordered his sailors: "Drive the ship well." Then he pleaded with Huang Ding: "We surrendered, can we protect our lives?" ”

Huang Ding glanced at Captain Ferreira and replied, "Surrender!" Don't kill! ”

There was no suspicion of the Lookout's departure at all. In fact, at this time, many nearby ships were also anchoring and sailing, and the two ships that were on fire could have a large amount of gunpowder on board, and when the gunpowder exploded, the nearby ships would also damage the pond fish, so these ships had to avoid a safe distance.

But Huang Ding's heart was in his throat. The speed of the newly set sail ship is quite slow, and the battery near the harbor covers the whole harbor, and if you find that there is something wrong with your ship, the guns on the battery can easily sink your ship.

Fortunately, the Dutch colonists were particularly relieved about the safety of their officers, and they did not think in the direction of the enemy's surprise attack. Otherwise, two ships in the harbor caught fire one after another, which was enough to raise people's vigilance, and they thought it was just an accident or a coincidence. Therefore, the Dutch colonists would not have thought that someone would hijack the ship.

It was only after dawn that the Dutch governor of Taiwan learned from the survivors that someone had attacked by surprise. This raider didn't need to think about it to know that it was the Runing Army outside the fortress. It's just that the raider's method of entering and exiting the port is quite puzzling, and it can only be considered swimming.

In the event of an attack in a hostile state, you can only consider yourself unlucky, and it is impossible to go out of the fortress to retaliate, and the last crushing defeat caused too many casualties to the Dutch colonists. The Doge can only strengthen the port guard to prevent another surprise attack.

The Dutch colonists had no idea that another ship had been hijacked. Even if someone tells them, they won't believe it. Because it's a bit too fanciful, to take a ship from under their noses without moving? Are all the people on that ship dead? Never like that.

Moreover, the Lookout was about to set sail in the morning, and the Dutch colonists thought that the Lookout was just leaving ahead of schedule and was on its way to Kyushu, Japan. As for the Dutch ships that came to Kyushu, Japan, they did not hear about the Lookout, and they only thought that the Lookout had been wrecked at sea.

It wasn't until the ship caused a sensation in Nanjing and the news spread back to Fujian that the Dutch colonists learned that one of their merchant ships had been hijacked by the Runing army. But when this time comes. The Lookout had already set sail for Huanggang, and the Dutch colonists could only whip it out.

"Shopkeeper Wei! That's not good! It's okay for you to get on the boat, but with so many people, the villain is afraid of change! Huang Ding said pitifully.

"It doesn't matter! Don't see the people on the boat are all the junjie and everyone in Jinling City? is powerless, what is Huang Lian Chang afraid of? Will they still grab ships and fans? Again. Have you seen that Hou Gongzi? His father was the teacher of the adults; Look at the two of you there, they are all adults' sweethearts! They're going to get on board. Can we twist our thin arms? "The shopkeeper Wei is also helpless.

The Lookout's voyage all the way was quite logical. After all, the soldiers of the Marine Corps were not familiar with piloting brigs. You can discern the course but you don't have any problems. Besides, this course is easy to recognize, just follow the coastline and go north. So the lookout entered the mouth of the Yangtze River quite logically.

However, as soon as it entered Wusongkou, the Lookout was immediately discovered by the local forts and sailors. In order to prevent the Japanese from going up the river, the imperial court set up sailors and forts here. Although by now, because of the corruption of the military system, the Ming army here has already existed in name only. However, there was no problem in discovering a Western sailing ship that was completely different from the Ming ships.

Wusongkou Fort and Sailor are a piece of chickens flying and dogs jumping. What's going on? Could it be that the Western Fanzi tore up the agreement with the Ming Dynasty and entered the Yangtze River? Could it be that the Japanese are still going to make trouble when they stop? But we are all busy planting land and vegetables, and we can't even find a few who can shoot cannons, and the sailor's ship has been in disrepair for many years, and we don't know if it will fall apart when we reach the mouth of the Yangtze River?

It was the guerrilla of Wusong's saliva division that reacted first. If it's a fan invasion. There won't be just one ship! Let's send someone to contact first! This contact made the officers and men of the fort and the naval division in Wusongkou drop their jaws in shock.

After meeting the liaison person sent, Huang Ding was also very polite, he explained the situation truthfully, and also sent a well-spoken soldier to take Huang Ding's general to the water division guerrilla to contact.

After inquiring about the situation, the guerrilla of the sailor division realized that it was Wu General of Runing, Henan, who sent this Huang General to Yizhou to fight with Xiyang Fanzi, and captured one of Xiyang Fanzi's ships.

Seeing that the confession was true, he sent someone to the Wanghao to verify it, and the sailor guerrilla was overjoyed, it turned out that it was not Fanzi, it was the official army of the Ming Dynasty! Now there is no need to fight. As for Henan's Runing General Army, Weishenme, will send people to Yizhou to fight with Western Fanzi? That kind of thing is still a headache for the court, anyway, it has nothing to do with itself.

After being relieved, the guerrillas of the sailors immediately became gossipy, and he inquired about the situation of the battle with the liaison soldier of the Runing Army. That soldier was originally eloquent, and the thrill of this special war could be adapted into a movie, and this incident was extremely powerful and ambitious, which made the sailor guerrilla feel surging and amazed.

After that, the sailor guerrilla actually sent a batch of fresh melons and vegetables to the ship as a reward. Of course, where the duty lies, he also immediately sent a document to the checkpoints along the Yangtze River to explain the situation, and took the only 100 material boat that could be driven in the sailor to escort the Lookout to Nanjing.

This conveys the news that the land route is always faster than the water route, so when the Lookout came to anchor at the Nanjing wharf, the city of Nanjing had already spread this legend. And the do-gooders have been waiting for the arrival of this ship for a long time. I just want to see these heroes and Western ships with my own eyes.

And Huang Ding also needs to anchor in Nanjing, he needs to sell the goods on the ship in Nanjing, and the shopkeeper Wei is the big shopkeeper of the Nanjing branch of the Sihai Commercial Bank, and he is responsible for selling these goods.

After that, you can imagine that as the most painful group of people in Jinling City, Hou Fangyu's scholars and everyone wanted to get on the boat to visit, so they threw this problem to the shopkeeper Wei.

And how dare the shopkeeper not agree? Not to mention the relationship between Wu Shigong and the Hou family of Hou Fangyu, just Liu Rushi and Gu Hengbo, Jinling City has spread all over these days: Wu Shigong, in order to save them, disregarded his own safety and safety, and poured tens of thousands of his troops to Nanzhili to save the United States. So how dare the shopkeeper offend these two future housewives?

But Huang Ding was not happy, this involved the principle of secrecy of the Runing Army, and it was not allowed to let idle people and others casually visit the warship. But as soon as he heard that Liu Ru and Gu Hengbo were the main mothers, Huang Ding was immediately dumbfounded, and he didn't dare to stop it anymore.

So when Huang Ding organized the soldiers to line up to greet him, Hou Fangyu felt that he had a lot of face among the scholars and everyone, so he was the first to board the boat in a hurry, but Huang Ding and the others only bowed to Hou Fangyu and made a big salute, but when they saw Liu Rushi and Gu Hengbo wearing veils, they collectively knelt down and kowtowed: "Say hello to the master!" ”

This unexpected episode made Hou Fangyu and these scholars hahadaxiao, and it also made Liu Ruis and Gu Hengbo red-faced. The shopkeeper of the guard immediately rounded the field, took the scholar and everyone to visit the boat, let the articulate soldier tell the story again, and then took Captain Ferreira and them as gorillas, and came out for everyone to see. Zuihou gave everyone some more gifts, of course, Hou Fangyu, Liu Rushi and Gu Hengbo had the heaviest gifts, and they were all happy.

After that, there is no need to detail how the Wei shopkeeper did public relations in Nanjing City, how to send a heavy salute to thank the sailors guerrillas, etc., anyway, after unloading the goods, the Lookout set sail again, and arrived at the Huanggang Wharf of the Runing Army in early November of the tenth year of Chongzhen.

And in the city of Nanjing, there was also a person who noticed this incident. It was the Catholic Bishop of Rennes in the city of Nanjing. To this end, he summoned his right-hand man, Father Raj, and he arranged: "Father Carrera from the Ming Interior has been writing to him that he has a holy place of God and that General Wu there cannot help but preach. But because of the war there, I never sent anyone there. Seeing that General Wu had seized the Dutch merchant ships made me curious. You should take a group of parishioners to Father Carrera and take a closer look to see if you can spread more of God's light. ”

"Yes! Your Excellency! ”

Bishop Wren was not concerned about the Dutch ships captured by the Runing army. In the eyes of a devout Catholic priest like Father Wren, these Puritans in Holland were even dirtier than pagans, and in his heart, he wished that the Runing Army would give the Puritans more blows.

After learning that the Western ship had been captured, the Runing Army Naval Division was immediately like a treasure. Although the ship was a merchant ship and the guns on board were not placed in the holds, the ship's structure, the style of the sails, and the method of operation were a great inspiration to the shipbuilders. Coupled with the help of the captured Dutch sailors, the shipbuilding jishu of the Runing Army immediately made a leap forward.

And the Runing Army has another windfall. When Wu Shigong learned that Huang Qiqi had seized the plate armor used by the Dutch colonists, he immediately ordered the plate armor to be sent to Runing. As soon as they saw the Western plate armor with simple craftsmanship and low cost, the workshop division of the Runing Army was immediately shocked, and they immediately began the work of copying it.

But as soon as it was imitated, the workshop division found a big problem, the area of the plate armor was too large, and it was very labor-intensive to hammer, and it tested the blacksmith's craftsmanship, so the workshop division immediately began to tackle jishu problems. (To be continued......)
