Velasco was quite eye-catching, Yu Feng exhaled softly, he immediately realized that the gold lord in front of him was obviously more interested in the cannon on his ship than in his own ship, thinking of the musket guarding behind Yu Feng, he secretly said in his heart: I am afraid that the person in front of him is still an armed nobleman in the East!

Of course, his attitude was naturally more attentive, and he even immediately invited Yu Feng to see his "Flying Bird"! Of course, Yu Feng couldn't ask for it.

The sea ship he was on was basically unarmed, and the Zheng family's fleet was running in his own territory, and if it was also fully armed as if it were facing a great enemy, it would be too unpleasant, so as soon as Velasco invited, he agreed without hesitation.

In his heart, there are some thoughts that still can't be spoken. This Lingshan private port has been established well, but it is also equivalent to opening its door to the sea, last time it was a small group of Japanese robbers, if with the help of the Zheng family, the Fang family or some other salt merchant will transport a large number of people ashore, what will he use to resist. If you have a few cannons and turn your private harbor into a steel fortress, then you don't have to worry about it.

As for this Zheng family, don't look at the relationship with himself now, it is because he can make money from himself, if the benefits given by others far exceed the benefits he can get from himself, who can guarantee that this good ally will not suddenly become an enemy. Yu Feng's thoughts in his heart were not so much aimed at the threat from the sea, but more for the Zheng family.

Therefore, if he opens his mouth to buy cannons or gunboats from the Zheng family, he is afraid that he will be humiliated, and now he will have this opportunity, it is better to take a look, if this ship of the Francophile is really a gunboat, let alone hire, even if he buys it, it will not be a loss.

Aboard the Asuka in Velasco, Yu Feng finally saw the sharpest weapon of this era--- ship cannon! The Asuka was armed with four cannons, and since it was not a warship, the cannons were mounted in the bow and stern, and there were no on the sides of the ship. Naturally, it can't be compared with regular warships, but even so, it is very threatening to deal with ordinary merchant ships.

Yu Feng was slightly disappointed, in his impression, the kind of cannon on the ship, should be the kind of small cannon that the gun doors on both sides of the ship opened, and then the gunner pushed out the kind of small cannon with small wheels underneath.

However, although this cannon is bulky and inconvenient to move, it should still be qualified as a fortress gun for the port. Yu Feng made up his mind, this ship arrived at Lingshan Port, whether it was bought or robbed, anyway, he would not let him go, the ship could not be wanted, these cannons must be unloaded.

"Alright, I've hired this ship, Captain Velasco, and you can leave with me tomorrow!"

"This... Excellency! Velasco said a little snort: "Can you pay a small deposit in advance, no, no, no, I don't believe you, you see, my sailors still don't know which woman's arms are drunk, besides, the Asuka has not been out to sea for a long time, and it is necessary to do some proper maintenance and repair, to serve such a distinguished guest as you, the Asuka must be in the best condition, you see, right!" ”

When Yu Feng asked his subordinates to drop him a small box of silver ingots, Velascott's favorability towards this gold-rich employer gradually rose, and it was really difficult to find such a simple employer who gave money, and he even hoped that in the next voyage, he could meet so many small thieves, so that he could show his hands in front of his employer, so that he could understand that he was not unjustly spent this money.

After waiting for the repair of the Asuka in the Ryukyus for a few days, Yu Feng sailed to Kyushu, and the next thing, there is not much to talk about, and there is naturally Xuchang to deal with the business, and he took the escort to the shore after a few laps, he came back with interest, although Kyushu Island is still relatively developed, but his mind is not on this, uh... Have you ever seen a few travelers who put all their minds on buying souvenirs?

Of course, Velasco's small wish was also disappointed, except for meeting a few fleets that were also trading, they almost didn't even see the larger sea fish, which made Velasco a little disappointed, although five hundred taels of silver seemed like a lot, but for Velasco, who had more than thirty people under him, it might not be able to let him support for long, thinking that this trip was coming to an end, Velasco began to worry about his future again.

When I returned to Lingshan Port, it was only the beginning of March, and I saw Yu Feng's sea ship back, followed by a strange-looking Western sailing ship, which really made the people on the shore scramble, but fortunately, with the experience of the last Japanese invasion, Zhao Deng did not take people to hide in the Zhuangzi again, but urgently summoned the salt dings, and placed a neat phalanx not far from the port to wait.

Although Yu Feng was slightly satisfied with the reaction of his subordinates, he still sighed slightly in his heart, such a neat and tight phalanx, if the ship's cannons bombarded it, I am afraid that there would be great casualties immediately. However, he also knew that this was a bit demanding for these salters, and the cannon was still a distant legend for these soldiers who had been transformed from farmers and fishermen not long ago, not to mention the concept of defense.

"There's actually a standard Spanish phalanx here, Captain, they're advancing!" One of the sailors beside Velasco had a red glint of excitement on his face. This is an old brother who has been following Velasco for a long time, and naturally knows that this phalanx is here for them in this completely undefended port, but so what, they are on board, these soldiers are on the shore, this phalanx is simply an excellent target.

Several gunners even began to carry the shells, ready to fire, and with a signal from the employer on the ship in front, they could smash these targets on the shore.

"Mr. Velasco, don't be impulsive, it's our own!" Xu Chang, who was on the side, hurriedly said, complaining in his heart about the fuss of these ghosts, and stepped forward to stop him: "This port is the private port of the noble Lord Yu, and those soldiers on the shore are all his personal soldiers, and they welcome their masters back!" ”

"Private port, these are his private soldiers?" Velasco's eyes lit up, and as expected, this respected Lord Yu Feng was really an armed nobleman, with such force, at least a lord! If only I could play under him...... Velasco didn't dare to think about it, a rich and generous Oriental nobleman actually let himself just take it? God, are you finally going to deliver me from my misery?

"Give me some spirits, boys, go and change into your most decent clothes, and follow the ship in front of you into the harbor!" He shouted loudly as he directed his own ship and slowly drove into the harbor.

Seeing Yu Feng walk down from the springboard, Zhao Deng, who had been waiting for him, immediately sent a mouthful, it was his brother-in-law who came back, so it would be fine! However, he still did not order his subordinates to relax their vigilance, but led a dozen people to meet them.

"Your Excellency, you're back!" Seeing Yu Feng and the dozen or so familiar faces around Yu Feng, Zhao Deng finally believed that it was Yu Feng who came back!

"Da Lang, put on such a big formation to welcome me, don't be afraid to frighten me!" I haven't seen Zhao Deng for many days, but now that I see it, Yu Feng is also in a good mood, and he can't help but make a little joke.

"Isn't there a Western ship behind the adult's ship? As adults have explained, it's always right to be careful in everything! Zhao Deng smiled a little embarrassedly, not at all like an officer with hundreds of people under his command, he usually had a tense face in front of his subordinates, and only at this time, in front of his familiar relatives, did he show that he was just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy.

"Haha, well done!" Yu Feng praised him: "Tell the sons and daughters to disperse, let's go back!" This time I went out, but I brought you a lot of good things! ”

As he spoke, Velasco rushed over with a few sailors, dressed in shiny farts.

"My lord, honorable Lord Yu!"

Yu Feng also smiled when he saw Velasco going to the banquet, he had hired others for so long, and when he arrived on his own territory, he should also entertain them, besides, what about the idea of hitting the cannons on other people's ships? He patted Zhao Deng on the shoulder: "Let me introduce you, this is Velasco, forget it, this name is awkward, you can call him Wei Yangren!" The helper I hired, Velasco, this is Captain Zhao, you guys are so close! ”

Zhao Deng originally saw a few people running over, as if they were strange ghosts from hell, and his hand had already pressed on his waist knife, and when he heard Yu Feng say this, his mouth opened wide: "These ghosts are invited by adults!" ”

"yes!" Velasco listened to Yu Feng's introduction of what Captain Zhao was this young man in front of him, and estimated that this young man was the commander of these soldiers on the shore, and said with a smile: "General Zhao, take care of me!" ”

Seeing that this human-looking ghost was speaking the official language of the Ming Dynasty, and calling himself a general, Zhao Deng also felt that this ghost was not so ugly, and barely squeezed out a smile on his face, and hugged his fist at Velasco.

"Arrange for someone to unload from the ship, some things are directly transported to Zhuangzi, and some things are to be transported to Lingshan for Wu Shopkeeper to sell, don't make a mistake!" Yu Feng explained to Xu Chang, who came with Velasco, and then led everyone towards the Yu family manor. He didn't notice that Velasco and his men behind him were curiously surveying everything in the harbor, but they were secretly casting their eyes on the quiet phalanx beside them, and there was an inexplicable light in their eyes.
