Seven days later, in the South China Sea, off the coast of Macao, supply ships shuttled between the fleet and the port of Macao.

Closing the monoculars, Sir Walder couldn't help but sneer, "Stupid Portuguese, with just a few small cannons, want to stop the iron hooves of the British Empire." ”

"Your Excellency, we only need one order from you, and we will be able to let you stay at the Governor's Palace of Macau tonight." Although Vincent, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes, has a righteous face, his words are quite level.

"Oh, hehehe, there is no need, there is no need, it will cause His Majesty to be unhappy to start a war with other countries, besides, such a remote and projectile place, it is not worth the blood of our warriors here, let's complete the set goal first, with that island, the prosperity here will soon disappear."

"Your Excellency Sir has been so considerate of us..."

Just when Vincent wanted to continue to brag, a soldier ran up quickly, "Report, the naval officer of the Qing Kingdom asks to see you." ”

"Oh, it seems, our good friend can't wait any longer, well, please come up."

"Yes."

Soon, the soldier walked up with two men in official uniforms, the one in the back was the horse-faced man who had appeared on Lantau Island, and the one in front of him, with a long hair, looked dignified, but the corners of his eyes were upturned and slightly cold, it was Guo Xuexian Guo Po who took the initiative to take refuge in the Qing court.

Although he expressed disdain for the other party's combat effectiveness, Sir Walder still stood up politely and greeted the other party, after all, the other party represents this big country in the east, and due etiquette must still be had.

"Hello Sir Walder, I am Guo Xuexian, the counselor of the Great Qingshui Division, and I am here to welcome all friends from afar on behalf of the Governor Zhang." After the salute, the long-haired official said in fluent English.

"Hello Guo Shenjiang, I really didn't expect you to be so fluent in English."

"Hehe, I had a lot of dealings with businessmen in your country in the early years, so I taught myself a little bit and made a fool of myself." Seeing Sir Walder so polite, the smile on Guo Xuexian's face became brighter and his waist was bent lower, this Lord Sir was the head of the East India Company in the Far East, the governor of Singapore, and his top boss Zhang Bailing was a high-level feudal official.

"Okay, General Guo, don't say more polite words, this time we are invited to participate in your army's campaign to encircle and suppress pirates, I don't know how you arranged?"

"Sir, rest assured, we have set up checkpoints on the sea routes around Lantau Island to ensure that their main forces are all in the water village, and we can defeat them in one fell swoop when your cannon fires and destroys their forts."

"Well, that's good. By the way, General Guo, we should use a lot of materials when we renovate the Lantau Wharf in the later stage, I don't know if General Guo has a way to do this, so that we can save some trouble. ”

"Yes, yes, of course, don't worry, Lord Sir, it's all on me." Guo Po patted her chest and assured that this is a lucrative business, these British guys are stupid, and they can make a lot of money from it with a little tricking, which is faster than being a pirate.

Of course, Walder over there also has a similar idea, these stupid and stupid Qing people, with your help, I can build a fortress here, and all the ships that pass by in the future will have to look at my face and be a man, such a fragrant port, it will be called Hong Kong in the future.

"Oh yes, my lord, I have some information that needs to be reminded of you." Seeing that there were huge profits to be made, Guo Podai's attitude towards the British was even more humble, and she even did not hesitate to share the information she had just obtained with the other party.

"Oh, what intelligence."

"A few days ago, there was an alien in Mrs. Naqing's stockade, who can tame sharks, and has also built an ironclad ship, so you need to be careful when you attack."

"Ironclad? A battleship made entirely of steel? ”

"No, it's just an iron hull on the outside of the old lock boat."

"Hehe, this kind of ironclad ship, my country has also developed it, but it's useless." Vincent smiled contemptuously on the side, "General Guo may not know very well, the most important thing in naval warfare is firepower and speed, as for defense, that is the last thing to consider, an ironclad ship, even if it can't be destroyed, we use scattered bombs to kill all the sailors above, this ship is just a useless ornament." ”

"That's, that's." Guo Podai hurriedly said.

"Okay, General Guo will go back and inform Governor Zhang to prepare, and we will unite to attack Lantau Shanshui Village early tomorrow morning."

"Okay, I'll go."

After a night of silence, early the next morning, Guo Po led his 20 warships to the battlefield, but unfortunately, the low-hull old lock ship was not able to join the sequence of the fleet, and he only got a herald.

"Lord Guo, Commander Vincent asked me to inform you that due to the difference in speed, we cannot attack together, please lead your fleet to lure the enemy's main fleet out first, and we will launch a fatal blow at the appropriate time."

"Damn, the red-haired ghost, let's send us to death first, and then they will pick peaches." When Ma Mian heard this, he immediately muttered in a low voice.

"Hmph, forget it, it's just some small losses left and right, just go back and wait for the red flag to come out, and lead them to the British fleet."

"Yes."

At this time, off Lantau Island, the warships flying the red flag were already ready to go, and on the largest armed merchant ship, Mrs. Qing was standing on the command platform in military uniform, wearing a red cloak, so that everyone could see her heroic appearance, and Zhang Baozai stood beside Richard.

"Mr. Li, you ironclad ship, can you do it?" Retracting his gaze from Mrs. Qing, Zhang Baozai couldn't help but ask questions to Richard who was lying on the recliner basking in the sun behind him, Richard hadn't done anything in the past few days, just knocked on the east and west on the boat all day and night, and he didn't see any new changes, today is going to the battlefield, the boat sailed out of the dock again, Mrs. Qing also asked him to help Richard, but he suspected that they hadn't arrived at the battlefield yet, and the battle was lost.

"You've been asking for a few days, are you bothered, anyway, I'm on this boat, it's a big deal to live and die with the ship."

...... There is no shortage of your life in our stockade...

Crash!

The red flag was unfurled on the flagship, and a shout immediately came from the watchtower: "Madame has an order, the whole army will attack!" ”

With the hard sails open, the warships began to slowly speed up, and the Zhiyuan was no exception, but the magnitude of its speed increase was a little less obvious....

"Mr. Li, we are already the last one, can this ship be faster?"

"What's the panic, I guarantee that I can drive to the battlefield."

Zhang Baozai had the intention to shoot Richard in the head, but unfortunately, even if he was broken, he couldn't speed up the ironclad ship, so he had no choice but to go to the bow of the boat and watch Mrs. Qing and them go away, but he didn't notice that Richard had come to the side of the ship.
