Chapter 44: Encounters at Sea

"That's right, go in this direction and keep going."

"When passing by these islands, see if there are any natives, and you can send someone to the island to negotiate."

Zhu Zi nodded slightly, and after a few words, he returned to the deck.

At least for now, the situation is still very good, and they are going in the right direction.

The only thing he was worried about was that he was afraid that he would walk back to Daming, and if anything was discovered, he would definitely not be able to hide it at that time, Zhu Yuanzhang would know about it, and he would definitely not let him act recklessly.

After passing through the first archipelago, all the warships set sail again.

Soon, a few days passed, and they passed through two or three archipelagos, which were not far apart, and they could easily find them.

......

"Your Highness! Wake up! ”

Zhu Zi, who was still asleep, was woken up by a sudden exclamation.

After hearing the shouting, Zhu Zi instantly sat up, walked down, put on his shoes and walked out of the door.

If you suddenly call him up, something urgent must have happened, otherwise you wouldn't have called him directly.

"What's wrong?"

Pushing open the door, I saw Wang Zhi standing at the door with a worried face.

"Ahead! Dozens of ships were spotted ahead! ”

"Coming in this direction for us!"

Wang Zhi swallowed his saliva and said anxiously.

At first, he thought he was dazzled, but after a person around him was sure that it was dozens of ships, he couldn't sit still, and immediately came over to call Zhu Zi.

Faced with this situation, he didn't know what to do, he just knew that it was right to find Zhu Zi.

"Dozens of ships?"

"Is it a pirate, or what?"

Zhu Zi frowned and asked suspiciously.

At this time, there are dozens of ships in the South Seas, who will it be, dozens of ships are such a large scale, not ordinary pirates can have, but looking at the entire South Seas, they know very few pirates.

But there is no doubt that the people on the other side are definitely not their own people.

"Order everyone, prepare for battle, rush towards them."

"I want to see who dares to have such a large fleet in the South Seas!"

Zhu Zi's idea is very simple, Nanyang is the Nanyang of the Ming Dynasty, which belongs to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and it must not be allowed to be invaded by foreign enemies, even if it is a sea area, it cannot be invaded without permission.

"Yes!"

After hearing Zhu Zi's order, Wang Zhi was also on a whim, very excited, and ran out quickly, passing Zhu Zi's order.

It didn't take long for Zhu Zi to walk out of the cabin and come to the deck, the ship had become very lively, and the soldiers were all fully armed, waiting for the battle to start.

After training for so long, this is their first battle, and they are very excited to be able to show their talents.

The warships behind also received the order and responded one after another, and the speed of hundreds of warships slowed down, and the distance between them, which was originally very large, was pulled in a lot.

"Your Highness, everything you asked us to prepare before has been prepared."

Sang Zhao came to Zhu Zi's side with dozens of soldiers.

Behind Sang Zhao, dozens of soldiers were mostly holding large wooden planks and iron chains in their hands.

This is what Zhu Zi specially asked Sang Zhao to prepare before going to sea, just to be able to deal with the battle that happened at sea and take the initiative to attack.

"Okay, wait for the order, when the time comes, it's time for you to do it."

"Pass the order, all the crossbowmen on the ship, get ready."

Zhu Zi nodded.

Everything is ready, just wait for the boat on the other side to come.

At least, he thought that in the South Seas, his fleet, if not invincible, at least ranked first, was not something that ordinary forces could deal with.

Of course, it was only at sea, if he landed and came to the territory of a certain country, facing the attack of the entire empire, he was not sure that he would be able to win.

On the sea, the fleets on both sides discovered each other, and the first time they found each other, they all made the same decision, slowly approaching each other, instead of fleeing.

Soon, the ship led by the leader was getting closer and closer, and the people on the other party's ship could be seen with the naked eye, Zhu Zi was like this, and so was the other party.

"Who are you! Dare to invade the sea of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Zhu Zi saw that the distance was enough to advance, and he also shouted at the big boat opposite.

Before fighting, you can talk about it, and the ending of the other party also depends on how well they talk.

"Invading the waters of the Ming Dynasty? Who said that this is the sea area of Daming? The masters of this sea are everyone! ”

"Who are you, when did Nanyang have more forces?"

Soon, a shout came from the boat opposite.

The two of them were across the sea, shouting and talking, and they could clearly hear each other's voices.

"I don't want to repeat it, this is the sea of Daming! It's not something you can get your hands on! ”

"I advise you to leave immediately, otherwise don't blame me for being merciless!"

Zhu Zi snorted coldly.

He didn't want to directly deal with the friction, after all, the other side also has dozens of warships, at least a few thousand people, if the fight starts, but there will be a lot of losses, the most important thing is that it is not conducive to fighting on the sea, and it will not choose to do it here unless it is absolutely necessary.

Being able to drink these people away without losing is the best result, but he doesn't mind that the two sides have a bloody friction.

"Take it mercilessly, what a big breath!"

"In Nanyang, I haven't dared not to give me Chen Zuyi's face, which way are you mixed up!"

The other party was obviously very unconvinced, and had no intention of backing down, so he reported himself directly.

In Nanyang, there is no one who does not know him Chen Zuyi, and if he has a good reputation, of course he dares to report his family.

"Chen Zuyi? Are you the great pirate Chen Zuyi? ”

When Zhu Zi heard this, he paused for a moment and asked suspiciously.

No, it's such a coincidence, before I arrived in Malacca, I met Chen Zuyi on the road?

If that's the case, it won't take any effort to come here, and you'll just run into it.

"I've heard of my name, don't go back quickly!"

"Nanyang, what Lao Tzu said! When is it the turn to get a person from outside the South Seas to point fingers! ”

After Chen Zuyi heard that Fu knew his name, he became even more arrogant.

"You're on this trip, but you're going to Qiongzhou?"

Zhu Zi was silent for a while before asking.

Now in this world, Chen Zuyi appears here, I'm afraid that nine times out of ten, he came to Qiongzhou for an appointment, but he thought that Chen Zuyi would not come, and he planned to go to Malacca to find Chen Zuyi, isn't this embarrassing.

"Huh? How do you know? Who are you? ”

There was a hint of doubt in Chen Zuyi's voice.

Except for Chen Mingkun and a few of his cronies, no one knew that he was going to Qiongzhou, so how did the people on the other side know?
