Zhu Gaoxian's fingers lightly tapped on the chaise longue, he really never dreamed that after dealing with Chen Zuyi, a pirate, there were still people who were not afraid of death to hit the muzzle of Daming's cannon.

Ma Sanbao stood aside, holding a telescope and nervously looking at the battle situation in front of him, this king of the west of Java Island was really more rampant than Chen Zuyi's group of pirates.

Rumble!

On the warship where Meng Shan was, the cannonballs fired from the main gun muzzle landed accurately on the opponent's main ship, the wooden ship could not withstand such a heavy shell bombardment, and while the deck was scattered, the ship was unevenly forced, tilting forward, and the sea water poured in.

Before the people on board had time to save themselves, another shell, sent out in succession, penetrated directly through the hole, the shell exploded inside the hull, and the hull was completely torn apart.

"Rush over!"

The other party's dense ships were pressed to the ground, not afraid of death, like an evil spirit possessed, still pressed towards this side, He Shou stood in front of the short-range communicator and asked Zhu Neng, "General, the last general requests to use a battleship to ram them!" ”

Zhu Neng took a look at the battle situation and said, "Accurate, the rest of the warships are ready, cover the sixteenth warship, and annihilate the other party as soon as possible!" ”

"Yes!" After the commanders of the other warships received the order, they all began to rearrange.

Although the number of warships of the Ming Dynasty is not large, the ships of the other side are all ships made of random planks, even if it is the largest ship, it is only about the same as the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty, if it is directly bombarded, it will be able to win in less than an hour, but obviously, Meng Shan does not want to waste too many shells.

After the warship power was fully opened, it rushed towards the opponent's ship like an arrow, and after a slight touch, the opponent's ship became a piece, and after a few back and forth, the scattered ship boards were all over the sea, and the people holding the ship board and calling for help were struggling in the water, and the machine guns on the Ming warship fired mercilessly at these people, and did not intend to let these people go back alive.

After a crushing and the general of the army died, the rest of the ships were gathered together by the warships, and everyone knelt on the deck and prayed to the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Neng looked at Zhu Gaoxian, Zhu Gaoxian closed his eyes, raised his hand and waved slowly, making a gesture of annihilation.

The flags in Zhu Neng's hands were flagged, and the main guns on the ten battleships were aimed at those ships, and the cannonballs fired in unison, turning this local sea area into a sea of fire.

Not a single one to stay!

Yan Minchu had been standing on the deck, watching this one-sided slaughter, and at the end, he took a deep breath and said, "Only when the Ming Dynasty is strong can we have the dignity of waiting." ”

If Da Ming didn't have this strength, today, he would have to pay a high amount of taxes to the king of the west, and he might not be able to return safely.

In this naval battle, not only Zhu Gaoxian was watching the battle, but the king of the west was also standing on the high mountain of the royal city to pay attention, he didn't expect that Daming's firearms were so powerful.

Compared to the legendary Kublai Khan's warships, it is really different.

Seeing that Da Ming had slaughtered all his ships and warriors in a hurry, the King of the West rushed down in a hurry, led his family and his courtiers to the port, and knelt on the ground to greet him.

"Your Highness, the King of the West has come to greet you." Zhu Neng asked.

"Before, then? Although he is a person who understands current affairs, what did this king say before? Give this king this broken island to the ground! ”

Twenty warships lined up, and under Zhu Neng's order, artillery shells fired in unison.

King Xi was so shocked that he couldn't help himself, he couldn't believe it as he watched the black cannonball fly towards him, such a long distance, the cannonball actually fell where he was, the fire was burning, the air waves were violently impacting, he saw his body flying into the sky, he saw the fiery air waves rolling, he saw all the people around him being torn apart, he saw his severed limbs and wreckage flying, and he saw the world disappear little by little in front of his eyes.

If in the future, there is still a Dutchman willing to write a history of the island of Java "The Legend of Kings", it should focus on recording that today, the island of Java was bombarded beyond recognition by the artillery of the Ming Dynasty, and it was full of devastation.

Surumayi is a village here and a famous port where ships from north to south dock, where rice grain is unloaded and traded.

The shells fell, and the waves tossed everyone over, leveling the village, killing and wounding all the people.

Duban is a village by the sea, near the sea, which was originally a sandy beach.

In the Yuan Dynasty that year, Shi Bi and Happy were not allowed to go ashore for several months, and the water in the ship had been exhausted, and the sergeant was about to die.

Shi Bi prayed happily to the heavens, saying, "I am ordered to fight the barbarians, and if the heavens are with it, the spring will live; If you don't, you don't. After praying, Shi Bi struggled to pierce the beach with a gun, and the spring water came out, and the soldiers drank the water to survive.

There are about 1,000 families living here, mostly from Guangdong and Zhangzhou, and they are terrified when they see that the shells are about to spread in this direction.

In the end, the leader here had no choice but to put on the clothes of the Ming Dynasty, rocked a wooden boat, erected a banner made of white sheets with the words "Ming" written on the wooden boat, and drove the boat to approach the Ming warship.

"Your Highness, there are Ming people over there!"

Zhu Gaoxian took the telescope handed over by Ma Sanbao, glanced at Duban Village, and saw that it was indeed a Ming man on the boat, so he raised his hand and made a stop gesture.

The bombing stopped for the time being.

The old man on the boat was stunned for a moment, and the young man on the boat was saying whether he wanted to go back, and the old man said, "Hurry, hurry!" ”

The young man had no choice but to rock the oars more and more, and just as the wind was blowing, the boat approached quickly, and the young man was so nervous that he broke out in a cold sweat, and the sweat in his palms was so slippery that he could not hold the oars.

Fortunately, the navy of the Ming Dynasty did not fire at them, nor did they shoot them.

When the ship approached the warship, the old man asked the young man to stop, and the two knelt respectfully on the board together, "Daming Liang Zhong, Daming Liang Siyuan pays a visit to General Daming!" ”

"Hang it up!" Zhu Nengdao.

At that moment, the Ming Navy put down the soft rope, and the old and young were hoisted up.

Zhu Gaoxian naturally got the news here and asked the dog to go and invite people.

This Liang Zhong and the two are a pair of grandchildren, after being brought up, they learned that they were going to see the prince of the Ming Dynasty, Liang Siyuan didn't know the depth, but Liang Zhong was trembling with his legs, and when he went up the last stairs, he saw the man crooked on the chaise longue from a distance, his legs were weak, and he fell to the ground with a pop.

"His Royal Highness the prince spares his life, His Royal Highness spares his life!" Liang Zhong simply lay on the ground and kowtowed desperately.

"Get up!"

Zhu Gaoxian's voice came, and he was afraid that this person would keep kowtowing and delay time.

After the two of them came over and finished the salute, Zhu Gaoxian said, "You say that you are Ming people, tell me, where are you Ming people?" How long have you been on the island of Java? How many generations have it been? ”

Zhu Gaoxian picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly, Liang Siyuan secretly glanced at Zhu Gaoxian, dressed in brocade clothes, his fingers were like green onions and jade bamboo, and his knuckles were distinct, although the blue and white porcelain teacup in his hand was delicate and dense, it was not as beautiful as his fingertips.

is really a fairy-like character, is this the Ming people?

Liang Zhong kowtowed desperately, "Your Highness, Xiaomin and the others were forced to leave their hometown and come here back then, if it weren't for their lives, no one would want to cross the ocean and come to this unfamiliar place!" ”

"Oh, what kind of situation is forcing you to come?"

Liang Zhong was silent for a long time before he said, "Your Highness, because piracy was rampant back then, Emperor Taizu Gao ordered that the pieces should not go to sea. We are originally from Zhangzhou, relying on the sea to eat the sea, and we don't have any fields at home. There was a famine that year, and the fields rented by the squires were not harvested, but the rent had to be paid. ”

"The ...... of that shit"

"Shut up!" The dog scolded beside him, "In front of Your Highness, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Liang Zhong paused for a moment again, "The squire wants to take Xiaomin's daughter to pay the rent, if he can stay in his house and do a job of folding beds and quilts, who knows, he sold Xiaomin's daughter to that kind of place, and when Xiaomin knew, Xiaomin's daughter had already hit the wall and died." ”

Speaking of this, Liang Zhong couldn't cry, "In the seventeenth year of Hongwu, Xiaomin followed the villagers, set off from his hometown late at night, boarded the ship, and floated on the sea for a whole month before coming here. “

Zhu Gaoxian closed his eyes and said, "How many people like you are on this island?" ”

"The village where Xiaomin lives is called Duban Village, and there are about 1,000 households. Half a day to the east of the village, it is the new village, and the local name is Geerxi. Originally, it was all a sandy beach, and the village owners were Cantonese, and there were about 1,000 households. In these two villages, where the miners live, local and outside merchants come to trade, and sometimes, because they can speak the local dialect, they will act as intermediaries. ”

Zhu Gaoxian saw that this person did not speak and behave like those who had never seen the world, his clothes, shoes and socks were also very decent, and the young man wore a huge gold earring on his left ear, and at a glance he knew that it was a wealthy family.

"You see, I said that I have few Ming people, but in fact, where there are few, how many people are wandering overseas. I just can't figure it out, being away from home, life is really more sad than in Daming? ”

With that, Zhu Gaoxian got up and walked towards the cabin.

Liang Zhong put his head against the deck, trembling, his grandson Liang Siyuan was ignorant, he only felt that the palm of his hand was supporting an iron plate, and the iron plate did not sink in the water?

This is Da Ming! He always listened to the old people in the village say how big the land of the Ming Dynasty was, how strong the Ming Dynasty was, he always couldn't imagine it, but today, he saw the characters of the kingdom and the warships of the Ming Dynasty, and he understood what was really powerful?

Ma Sanbao followed in, and when he saw Zhu Gaoxian standing in front of the window looking out at the sea in the distance, he couldn't help but ask nervously, "Your Highness, there are many people in the Ming Dynasty, and it is not a bad thing to send out a few people." If it weren't for that, today, when we came to this Java island, we wouldn't even be able to meet an acquaintance, wouldn't we be very lonely? ”

"Sambo, you are always very good at comforting people!" Zhu Gaoxian smiled, "You're right, my Daming is like a big tree, with lush branches and leaves, the wind blows, takes away a few seeds, floats away with the wind, takes root, grows, and grows into a big tree, and it is also a good thing to connect into a forest in the future." ”
