Gong Changyu was very surprised, there were two or three hundred people on the warship of the Franc man, so why did he send a kayak to ask? Wouldn't this warship be scrapped? Gong Changyu immediately ordered all the ships to stop moving, and asked the gunners to set up their guns, ready to fire shells at any time to attack the warship of the Franco.

"Friends on the other side, don't open fire." The Franc man on the kayak suddenly raised a white flag and shouted.

"Damn, Lao Tzu's cannon hasn't been fired, so you just raise the white flag, which song are you singing?" Gong Changyu said with a smile.

After the kayak of the Franc machine approached, Xiong Wanmin jumped directly from the wooden boat to the kayak alone, which really frightened the Franc sailors on the kayak. Several sailors on the boat screamed and pounced on Xiong Wanmin together, and suddenly the kayak lost its balance and suddenly flipped on its side in the water.

Dongfang Yaoyang, the interpreter of the other kayak, was a native of Xiangshan County, Nanyue County, and was proficient in the language of the Franc Machine, and was very surprised to see that Gong Changyu's men were all dressed in the same blue wolf army uniform, and immediately hugged his fist at Gong Changyu, who was wearing armor on the wooden boat, and said: "General, are you the sailor of the Qinghe country, or the sailor of the blue wolf country?" ”

Gong Changyu on the boat waved his hand, and the "Water Leopard" team members aimed at the kayak and the warship in the distance, and then stood on the deck: "We are the local armed Jingnan Army Naval Division of the Qinghe Kingdom, and we have come to patrol Taipa Island!" ”

"General, please don't open fire. If there is anything to discuss, let's go to the warship first. Dongfang Yaoyang shouted.

Gong Changyu saw that it was a Chinese, and took out a revolver to touch the details of the Francophone man: "Translator, you and I are both Qinghe Chinese, can you board the ship and tell us about the details of the Western devils?" ”

Dongfang Yaoyang is also a patriot, to the Franco machine to be a translator is forced to helpless, a month to give 5 taels of silver, just to eat, as soon as he heard that Gong Changyu invited himself to board the ship, Ba Lian couldn't help it, he used the Franc machine to the sailors at the helm of the boat and said: "Please get close to the wooden boat, quick!" ”

The sailor at the helm glanced at Dongfang Yaoyang: "Sir, they are the sailors of the Blue Wolf Country, will our lives be in danger if we go up like this?" ”

"No, it won't. They are the Qinghe National Naval Division, acting in strict accordance with international law, and if they want to open fire, they will already be fired......" Dongfang Yaoyang smiled slightly, and waved his hand to signal the sailor at the helm to move forward with confidence.

"Sir, will we be taken hostage if we rush on their ship?" The sailor at the helm frowned.

"Man, I'm here, what are you worried about. Our Qinghe country is a state of etiquette, and the two armies are at war, and they will not be killed. Dongfang Yaoyang walked to the front of the kayak and picked up the oars himself.

"Sir, you know, our warship has broken down, and there are less than fifty sailors on it, once we exchange fire with the enemy, we are afraid that we will not be able to bear it, so it is safer for us to return to the warship." The sailors at the helm hesitated.

"Man, isn't there another warship cruising near this Taipa Island?" Dongfang Yaoyang said.

"Sir, that warship had gone to Brasilia three days ago, and Taipa Island has become almost an undefended island." The sailor at the helm rowed a kayak and slowly approached the wooden boat where Gong Changyu was.

The sailor at the helm is named Williams, from Lisbon, who came to Taipa Island to serve for a year, he is very fond of calligraphy, painting and porcelain of the Qing and Kingdom of China, and also has a certain cultivation of Han culture. Although Williams is a Franc nationality, he has no good feelings for the insatiable Eagle Strike and the French people.

Feng Quan, the lord of the blue wolf country, wrote a letter of state to the queen of the Franc machine, hoping that the Franc machine country would help the blue wolf army overthrow the rule of the Qing and the country, after receiving the letter of state, the queen of the Franc machine was also very sympathetic to the blue wolf country, but the Franc machine country was poor and weak, so he had to maintain neutrality, and did not send troops to the Qing and the country to help in the war, but only ordered the warships of the Macao Franc machine not to participate in the war against the blue wolf country, and the violators were severely punished.

At this moment, the interpreter Dongfang Yaoyang asked Williams to kayak and contact the "Blue Wolf Army", and he was resistant. But at this time, he encountered an unknown sailor, so he had to bite the bullet, preferring to believe that the rule of "not cutting it off" would not be false.

After rowing for a while, the kayak reached the side of the wooden boat, Gong Changyu ordered the "water leopard" team members to throw down a rope, and Williams and Dongfang Yaoyang pulled the rope and climbed onto the deck of the wooden boat.

As soon as he got on the boat, Gong Changyu hurriedly went up and grabbed Dongfang Yaoyang's hand: "Translator, may I ask your name?" ”

"General Hui, in the lower east Yaoyang, ancestral home Xiangshan." The interpreter replied.

Gong Changyu said with a smile: "Doing things for the Francophone is a collaboration with the enemy and treason, do you understand?" ”

"General, that's a mistake. At present, the Franc Robot is a tenant and trader, and it is still under the jurisdiction of the Macau Tongzhi. Therefore, I am just eating with a mouthful of food, and there is no suspicion of collaborating with the enemy. Sun Tzu said, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will win all battles. Dongfang Yaoyang said as he came to the bow of the ship.

"How many people are there in the Franc garrison on Taipa Island?" Gong Changyu held the saber in one hand and the monocular in the other, looking at the warship in the distance.

"There are only a dozen soldiers on the island, no military fortresses have been built, and the combat effectiveness is not strong."

Hehe, only a dozen soldiers occupied Taipa Island, is this Macau Tongzhi eating dry rice? Gong Changyu scolded.

"General, in fact, the Franc machine man is the pirate captain who took advantage of the fire to rob, they don't have much strength, that warship is just a scary empty shell, it is under repair, we can completely drive them out to sea." Dongfang Yaoyang leaned close to Gong Changyu's ear and said.

Regarding the warships of the Westerners, Gong Changyu is not very clear. He felt very strange why the warships driven by these foreign devils fought with the warships of the Qinghe Kingdom, and the warships of the Qinghe Kingdom could not beat them, so he decided to get one from the beautiful Jianren to strengthen the naval strength of the Jingnan Army. Now that there is the Oriental Bright Sun as the internal response, why not push the boat down the river and board Taipa Island to check out the military deployment of the Franco.

"Translator, are you telling the truth?" Gong Changyu put down the monoculars.

Dongfang Yaoyang took out a chart of Macao and said that the Franc Robot people only had a radius of four or five miles of residence land on the Macao Peninsula, but they took advantage of the gap between the Qing Peace Kingdom and the Eagle Strike Li people to fight a set of combination punches, and the waters near Macao were gradually monopolized by China from China's sole control. However, the Qing and imperial courts never recognized the encroachment of the Franco-Rang people on China's sovereignty in Macao, and Ma Zengyi, the acting governor of Macao, also inspected Mong-Ha and other villages on the Macao Peninsula in the eighth year of Xiantong.

Gong Changyu rubbed his hands and asked, "Then does the Franc machine still pay the land rent to the Governor's Mansion of Nanyue?" ”

"The Francois is very cunning, and the court has no time to take care of the southeast coast, and he has not paid the rent for ten years." Dongfang Yaoyang shook his head, "What's even more odious is that Colonel Amal of the Franc Ji Navy was so bold that he actually cut down the dragon flag of the Lotus Gate on the Macao Peninsula, erected the Franc Ji national flag, and forced the residents of the Qinghe Kingdom on the peninsula to pay land rent and collect taxes. ”

"There's an army stationed over there on the lotus stem, don't they care?" Gong Changyu asked, pointing to the chart.

"The officials on the other side of the gate took bribes and turned a blind eye to the reckless behavior of the Francophiles." The sun in the east responded.

"How can this be true? When the general comes today, be sure to give the Franc machine a little color to see! Gong Changyu immediately ordered to advance at full speed and forcibly landed on the island.

"General, I must go back to the warship immediately, or the Franc will suspect me." Dongfang Yaoyang, put away the nautical chart, pleaded.

"What are you afraid of, you don't have to be a translator, just follow General Ben. When I take down Taipa Island, I will give you a few hundred thousand taels of silver. Gong Changyu said with a smile.

"No, my family lives in Macau, and they will use my family to blackmail me when I leave." Dongfang Yaoyang waved his hand.

"Okay. I don't embarrass you anymore. Gong Changyu ordered the boatman to stop the ship, and let Dongfang Yaoyang and Williams get off the ship and board the kayak.

After the two of Dongfang Yaoyang left, Gong Changyu breathed a sigh of relief, since Emperor Jiajing, you have been entrenched in Macao, posing a great threat to the south gate of Panyu, today I want to see what subtleties there are in the Franco warship, first fire a few cannons, scare them.

Gong Changyu raised the command flag and was about to give the order to open fire, when the black marshal ran over: "General, the range is not enough now, and we can only hit the warship in the first half of the sea." ”

The general manager of the navy, Xiong Wanmin, put forward a different opinion: We are here to buy the Franc Aircraft warship in Macao, not to fight a war, or not to provoke the Franc Aircraft at will.

"Mr. Xiong, the Franco-Robot people were not our opponents hundreds of years ago, what are you afraid of them?" Hei Dashuai disagreed.

"Having said that, our artillery is more than 300 years behind others, and these artillery pieces we captured are rapid-fire artillery that strikes the Li people, and it is too far away to have limited armor-piercing ability, so it is better not to act rashly." Xiong Wanmin dissuaded. What he said is not unreasonable, it is himself who suffers from the battle between the wooden ship and the ironclad warship, it is better to change the way, gain the trust of the Francophone people, and make plans after landing on the island.

"That's fine. Let's find a reason to visit the warship and make a deal with the Franc man. Gong Changyu nodded. After thinking for a while, he ordered the four warships to spread out in all directions, aiming at the warship as much as possible, and sinking it immediately as long as the situation was not right.

As a result, Gong Changyu took more than 20 soldiers with very accurate marksmanship, and with the active cooperation of Dongfang Yaoyang, he successfully boarded the warship of the Franco.

Coincidentally, Colonel Amal Male, the "Governor of Macao," was also wandering around the port of Taipa Island that day, and when he saw that the warships of the "Blue Wolf Army" were getting more and more, he quickly got on the battleship, ran to the deck, blew the assembly whistle, and tried to command the sailors to fire at the surrounding warships.

When Gong Chang saw this, he quickly pulled out his revolver, and shot down the Franc Ji national flag on the warship: "I am Gong Jichang, deputy Shi of Panyu Haidao of Qinghe Kingdom, and I came to Taipa Island to collect land rent!" The rest also aimed their pistols at Amare and a dozen Franc sailors at the battery.
