The Japanese navy sent out more than 100 warships, with more than 200 sampans, squeezed into the narrow strait, which suddenly shook all the ships within a radius of 100 miles, and between Ningbo and Zhoushan was a very complicated sea area, and there were also many small islands, and several crisscrossed waterways

Wang Zhi was very arrogant, lined up more than 100 warships in the strait, directly blocking all the routes from south to north, seeing such a huge fleet, whether it was Western merchants, Nanyang merchants or merchants of the Great Meng Kingdom, they could only swallow their anger, a large number of merchant ships did not dare to sail, crowded in Ningbo Port, praying that the harbor batteries could block the warships of the Japanese at sea

Wang Zhi saw that all the merchant ships in the strait were retreating, and couldn't help but be even more proud, laughing: This time, I have been gathering momentum for a long time, the fleet is huge, and the preparations are all in place, hahahaha, as long as Zheng Zhilong and Jiashan Wang are settled, who is my opponent in the world, and the Dameng country and the sea are all in my bag, hahahaha

Pentagon Owner...... The sentry on the mast of King Jiashan's fleet, which had been found five nautical miles to the north, suddenly shouted

Oh, it's good, the person Wang Zhi was waiting for finally came, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy in his heart: the year before last, he sabotaged my plan to attack the mainland, and now it's time to settle this grievance, and the sentry will tell me...... How many ships did he come, is it like the information we get: a giant dragon boat, two Dutch galleons, eight lucky ships

Pentagon Owner...... Feeling...... Circumstance...... Doesn't seem good...... More than that, the sentry stammered as he spoke

What's wrong with Wang Zhidaqi

A giant dragon boat...... The intelligence of the two Dutch galleons here is no problem The Great Khan said: But...... He also had two Spanish galleons, three Portuguese galleons, five Fuso Daian Zhai ships, and two English galleons, Fuku, ...... There are a lot of lucky boats...... There are at least twenty and many light boats, eagle boats, chain boats, sub-mother ships, fire dragon ships, cangshan boats, wheel boats, sea cangs, and centipede ships...... Oh, my God...... Better

What Wang Zhi was taken aback: it can't be that he was mistaken

It's a pity that the sentry was not mistaken, and soon Yiyun's huge fleet appeared in front of Wang Zhi's eyes, only to see a huge fleet coming from the sea in the north, and the flagship in the middle is the Royal No. 1 giant dragon boat, eighty cannons are arranged on both sides, due to the removal of the craftsmanship carving and decoration, the whole body is covered with iron armor, the giant dragon boat is now the whole is black with iron plates, from head to toe, like a black dragon, very terrifying

There were a large number of warships around the dragon boat, just as the sentry had just said, the Dutch, British, Spanish, and Portuguese warships were all in Lefort, and there were as many as twenty ships, as well as a large number of light boats

It is impossible for King Jiashan to have such a huge fleet a year ago...... Isn't he just a little bit of a boat, Wang Zhi was dumbfounded-

At this time, Zhou Zifan was also sweating profusely in the Royal No. 1 Dragon Boat and said: When did you get so many boats, why don't you know at all

Ha, you are busy writing a recital, arguing with your colleagues in the Donglin Party, how can you care about what I am doing Yi Yun smiled: I have been squatting at home every day for more than a year, you think I am playing, in fact, I have been preparing for the warship

It turned out that throughout 1562, the year of the king's dormancy, Yi Yun has been busy preparing all kinds of war materials, first of all, he asked for a large number of lucky ships through Hu Zhongxian, since Hu Zhongxian held an anti-Japanese conference, has been preparing the fleet, under the joint efforts of several shipyards in the imperial court, Hu Zhongxian also has a small fleet of not too large, there are more than a dozen lucky ships, and forty or fifty light boats

The number of ships was too small to play a big role, and Hu Zhongxian also knew that he couldn't deal with the Japanese if he stayed in his hands, so he simply lent this fleet to Yi Yun

On the one hand, he took over Hu Zhongxian's fleet, Yi Yun on the other hand, he was not idle, trying to find a channel to buy Western warships, it just so happened that the two Spanish merchants he had found when he went to Ningbo before, Xi Yi and Xi Er, finally returned from Europe, these two businessmen bought Yi Yun's Sichuan specialties last time, and shipped them back to Europe, and they really made a fortune, this time they came from Europe, they brought a few more ships, and introduced four or five Spanish businessmen to Yi Yun...,

Eyun bought two Spanish galleons from these Spanish merchants at a high price

Then, with the help of Li Huamei, Yi Yun contacted the British and the Portuguese, and bought the English galleon and the Portuguese galleon from them respectively

Why are these Westerners willing to sell ships to Yi Yun, in fact, the reason is very simple, Yi Yun came from the later generations, there is no kind of thinking of closing the country, let alone the stupid behavior of forbidding the sea, he is a prince who strongly encourages sea trade, merchants from all over the world came to Shanghai Wusong Wharf, and immediately felt Yi Yun's welcome to Western merchants

As long as they are serious about doing business, instead of burning, killing and looting, Yi Yun will give them the greatest hospitality, and even meet them in person, promising them the greatest trade convenience, and will not deliberately embarrass them, if there are profiteers who are embarrassed, foreign businessmen, Yi Yun will also come forward for the merchants to crack down on profiteers

Under his management, Shanghai Wusong Wharf surpassed Ningbo in one fell swoop and became the best port on the east coastline of Dameng Kingdom, where goods from various countries could be easily bought, and would not be exploited by the government in large quantities, nor would they be disdained, and Western merchants could feel Yiyun's determination to do a good job in maritime trade......

They also have ideas in their hearts, if an enlightened prince like Yi Yun can influence the government with heavy troops, maybe he can break the sea ban policy of the Great Meng Kingdom, Westerners actually hope that the Great Meng Kingdom does not prohibit the sea, so that they can not only haunt Macao, Ningbo, and Shanghai, but can anchor in any port along the coast of the Great Meng Kingdom

So they happily sold the extra warships in their hands to Yiyun

The poor Western merchants actually made a mistake, they only cared about the immediate trade interests, but they didn't know how much pressure the Western countries would bring to the Western countries if the Eastern sleeping lion of the Great Meng Kingdom was lifted and the sea ban was lifted and joined the Age of Discovery

Only Ievie knows this

According to Yi Yun's experience from another time and space, the Great Moe Country is rich in material and can be self-sufficient in almost everything, so ...... When the behemoth monster of the Great Meng Kingdom lifts the ban on the sea and joins the Age of Discovery, the silver of the whole world will flow into the Great Meng Kingdom, because the Great Meng Kingdom only sells and does not buy, and will only exchange the things that they don't need for wealth, but will not give their wealth to foreign countries

To explain the point, it is a simple sentence: you Western barbarians, those broken things, we can't look down on the country, but you have to buy our porcelain and silk obediently

This problem happened in another time and space, and the Western countries relied on foreign guns and cannons to finally break China's closed-door policy and establish trade relations with China, but in the trade with China, they have always played the role of buyers, but they could not be sellers, resulting in a huge trade deficit, and the world's silver flowed into China, and later Western colonists had to play scoundrels and dump opium in China, resulting in the famous Opium War

With this kind of knowledge, Yi Yun is not afraid of lifting the sea ban at all, he dares to predict that as long as the sea ban is lifted, the Great Meng Kingdom will dump goods to the world, and ensure that the Western countries will be empty of their pockets and unable to eat, and when the time comes, the Western countries will play Lai Pi and start the Opium War, and Yi Yun will also have a fleet to deal with them

Oops, it's far away again, let's pull it back and continue to tell the story

In front of the prince, Wang Zhi's sentries of the Japanese fleet laughed loudly: more than 100 ships of fortune and junk ships, and more than 200 small sampans

Yo, I dare to come to stop me with this little thing, Lu Yiyun laughed: Last time, Wang directly attacked my hometown Shanghai and sent a huge turtle, this time he took the initiative to send it to the door, just to let me take revenge...... Spread the word that I ordered to crush Wang Zhi's fleet and send him back to Zhoushan Island, squat, and wait for me to clean up the Dutch, and then come and pinch him to death

Yes -

The two large fleets began to approach slowly

Wang Zhi did not retreat, although the number of Yi Yun's fleet exceeded his expectations, but in the total number of ships, Wang Zhi was still a little cheaper, and Wang Zhi was also confident in the artillery in his fleet...,

In the past year, he did spend a lot of effort to prepare his fleet, first of all, a large number of ships, and then the artillery on board, Wang Zhi used his identity as the head of the Japanese to send many real Japanese to Fusang, and recruited a large number of professional artillerymen from Fusang

There are two kinds of these artillery, one is called artillery, and the other comes from the Otomo family, and the professional name is more special, called the big tube, which is the same as the kind of artillery on Zheng Zhilong's ship

However, these artillerymen are also a very popular profession in Fusang, so there are not many artillerymen who are willing to come to the sea to be Wakou Wangzhi, and he only got one hundred and fifty artillerymen, and one hundred and fifty artillerymen are also enough in Wang Zhi's opinion, which has exceeded the Shenji battalion of the emperor of the Great Meng Kingdom, and there is nothing to be afraid of, King Jiashan will be killed

Wang Zhi, who had been killed, jumped desperately on the deck

At the same time as the bombardment of the girl, Yi Yun was also shouting on the giant dragon boat

The two fleets soon entered the range of artillery bombardment, Wang Zhi did not know the tactics of the battle line, so his ship was still rushing forward in chaos, but Yiyun's battleship changed the queue, and soon formed several beautiful battle lines......
