125 And then to Malacca
Liang En, who had perfected his cultivation system, was in a state of excitement, and after his mood relaxed, he thought of a way to deal with the large pile of boats on the dock.
So he used his magic to clean up the traces he had left on the shore and burned almost all the corpses, and then returned to the ship to start his plan.
Liang summoned several small tornadoes to hang up the sails of all the ships and complete the adjustments, and then let the ropes connect all the ships and sail out of the harbor.
After the ship entered the open sea, Liang En, who had been carefully controlling the ship, finally relaxed, and then adjusted the wind direction and drove towards Malacca.
He had already realized that it would be best to deal with these ships to the Malacca side, since most of the large-scale gathering points in the area were located on the seaside, so they would definitely need these short-haul cargo ships.
After setting sail, Liang En finally had time to inspect the three-masted battleship, and after a quick count, he found the thousand taels of gold, six elephant tusks, and more than 30 kilograms of nutmeg that the pirates had obtained from selling weapons and armor.
If the price of the ship itself is added, he captured more than 29,000 taels of silver in this operation.
"No wonder those colonists like to rob, who would have thought that a simple robbery could get so much wealth if they hadn't done it once themselves."
After counting the loot, Liang En sighed with feeling.
Due to the long fleet of ships, Liang En didn't move fast this time, not to mention that he sailed every night for the rest of the day, and during the day he docked the ship and returned to the modern world to deal with some things.
After all, he was in the modern world because he was in the United States on business, so he had to spare enough time to complete the trip back to Europe from the Americas.
Fortunately, it is much easier to travel long distances in the modern world than in the ancient world, so by the time Liang approached the city of Malacca in the ship, he had already returned to his accommodation in Italy in the modern world.
It was already night when we approached the city of Malacca, so the appearance of this small fleet caused extreme tension in the city of Malacca, and many troops could be seen moving towards the fortress in the port area.
Fortunately, Liang En was carrying a rocket for communication, so after flying two green and one red rockets in the way agreed before, the atmosphere in the city finally relaxed.
However, because it was not hurricane season, Liang had to temporarily anchor on the shore outside the harbor for a night for safety reasons, and did not enter the harbor until the next day.
With the complete pacification of this part of the Kingdom of Malacca, most of the original army also evacuated here and returned to China, leaving only one thousand households and five hundred households stationed here.
Because of the previous perverse actions of the king of Malacca, the aborigines who originally lived in the city were wiped out, so even if everything is safe now, there are only more than 1,000 civilians in the original city area.
But even so, Yang Rong, the county magistrate with the official position of the Hanlin Academy, was still conscientiously governing this place, so even in this kind of place, he still established order.
"I've seen Yang Hanlin!" Looking at the virtuous minister who walked along the trestle bridge in the historical line of the modern world, and finally became the first assistant, Liang En faintly had a feeling of witnessing history.
"Master Liang, there is no need for such a lot of courtesy." After seeing Liang En's salute, Yang Rong immediately returned the salute, and then got on the horse with him and went to the temporary castle in the center of the city.
Contrary to Liang En's previous speculation, this castle is not a traditional Chinese-style castle, but a fortress with a clear European Age of Discovery.
Unlike traditional castles, the walls of this castle are significantly thicker but also much lower. However, the wide moats several meters deep made up for the lack of height of the walls.
In addition, there are also a large number of defensive facilities similar to horse rejection piles, bamboo thorns, etc., and Liang En can vaguely see that some of the defensive facilities are damaged, and there is still blood on them.
Even more when he approached the city gates
It is to see that there are obvious traces of battle on the surrounding defenses and city walls, and there are even obvious traces of later repairs in many places.
To his surprise, when he entered the city gate, he found that many soldiers were carrying flintlock rifles instead of swords, swords, halberds, and two cannons, two mortars, and a dozen bowls on the city walls.
"The defense here is thanks to you." After discovering Liang En staring at these weapons, Yang Rong said with some pride, "This castle was built based on the results of your previous exchanges with the Mo family, and the weapons were also transferred from your militia."
"Shortly after you left, the remnants of Malacca organized a massive attack, and with this makeshift fortress, we were able to hold off twenty times as many of our enemies and kill sixty percent of them, while only two of us were killed and seventeen wounded."
Yang Rong's words made Liang En's face show a look of shock, before he left, he specifically told his militia to leave weapons to help this side build a defense line if they needed it, and also saw the militiamen hand over weapons to the defenders before getting on the boat.
But he didn't expect that this side would be able to absorb this knowledge so quickly and build a fortress, and even use this fortress to resist a large-scale attack by local forces.
Of course, his shock was mainly that he was surprised that the group of people here accepted the new knowledge so quickly, not that he was surprised by the fighting power of the fortress - with gunpowder weapons, it was not inconceivable that the fortress could resist weapons with cold weapons several times or even dozens of times.
As for the transcendental aspect, Liang En was even less worried—he didn't think that a cultivator cultivated by a thousand-year-old country would not be able to defeat the native cultivator on the native side of the Nanyang natives.
"What a big victory." Liang En praised from the bottom of his heart that even though this group of defenders had a strong fortress and great strength, it was indeed a good command to obtain such brilliant results in the face of such a huge disparity in the number of enemies and friends.
It was also because of that battle that the land was able to calm down in such a short time.
"It's also thanks to the soldiers' lives, and thanks to the knowledge you tell everyone." Yang Rong stroked his beard with a smile, "I also want to thank you for being able to bring us the ship we urgently need at this time."
After briefly asking Liang about his previous experiences and counting his loot, the two sides began to trade.
In addition to the three-masted warship, Liang En exchanged the remaining ships, the contents of the ship, and all the hard currency seized this time for local spices, and finally purchased the equivalent of 16,000 taels of silver.
Because of this, he had to stay here for two more days, and from the loot he had collected from the ship before, he made a space bracelet with twice the internal space and a space ring.
The matter of casting the space bracelet would have been a complicated project for Liang En if it had been placed a week ago, but after the previous improvement, it only took him half a day to make a bracelet that met his requirements.
With this 600 space bracelet, he was finally able to take away the items he bought this time at one time, and then set sail to the north.
