At the moment of the war, it still does not affect Chen Kan and Zheng He's drinking.

The battle has reached this point, and Manraka is basically a fish on the chopping board for others to slaughter.

Their catapults, their bows and arrows, were all furnished in front of the cannons.

The artillery could easily tear them to shreds, but they could not pose any threat to Chen Kan's fleet.

Not to mention that Zheng He's fleet also arrived.

The number of cannons on his ships was no less than that of Chen Kan's fleet, but it was just short of ammunition.

But this lack refers to the fact that it is not enough to face the siege of Manraka and Sumatra, and does not mean that there is no power to resist.

After all, in Chen Kan's plan, if Zheng He's fleet arrived first, he would at least need to be able to hold out until Chen Kan sent him supplies.

Otherwise, Chen Kan would not have allowed Zheng He's fleet to participate in this war.

What can be solved with cannonballs, Chen Kan will never fill it with human lives.

Above the strait, the roar of artillery ceased for a moment.

Chen Kan and Zheng He drank and talked happily, that was their privilege as the main general, and the soldiers under their command still had to continue to be busy.

After Tan Cong and Pei Gou'er Wang Du took over, they quickly arranged dozens of patrol ships to start transferring various supplies.

The main ammunition is the most numerous of them, with the old Hongwu cannon having the most shells.

In the three years that Zheng He's fleet has been at sea, Daming's firearms have been updated and iterated for several generations.

But there have been no large-scale wars in the Ming Dynasty over the years, so those old artillery pieces have been melted into molten iron and made into various new weapons.

But there is a lot of ammunition in the arsenal of the ordnance superintendent.

This time, Chen Kan brought almost all the inventory of the military weapons supervisor, and the main thing was a wealthy one.

Those ammunition can't be used by the artillery under Chen Kan's command, which just makes Zheng He consume it.

After returning to China after consumption, Zheng He's fleet also needs to be reequipped with various new weapons.

The second is the newly developed firecracker developed by the Firearms Bureau.

Zheng He's fleet was still equipped with old-fashioned three-eyed firearms produced by the Ordnance Supervisor three years ago, many of which were replaced from the Shenji Battalion at that time.

Three years have passed, and it has long been corroded.

It's hard to even reload gunpowder, let alone launch it successfully.

It's just that Chen Kan didn't bring many new firearms this time, except for Chen Kan's headquarters, there were only 3,000 guns, after all, naval battles were rarely used, and they mainly relied on artillery.

But as much as you can equip, the rest will go back to Daming and then change it.

As for grain and grass, Chen Kan only gave a small part.

It's not that Chen Kan didn't bring it, but the main thing is that there is no shortage of grain and grass on Zheng He's fleet.

After all, everywhere he goes, in addition to promoting national prestige, Zheng He will inevitably do a business of forced buying and selling.

Besides, with such a large fleet, it is impossible to be idle when sailing, so what is it like to catch all kinds of big fish?

Therefore, there is no shortage of grain and grass on Zheng He's fleet.

However, soybeans have become a scarce commodity, and Wang En personally led people to pull several boats over, saying that it was to produce bean sprouts to relieve greasy.

It doesn't sound like a human thing, but it's the truth.

The soldiers were in full swing to replenish supplies for Zheng He's fleet.

While replenishing supplies, he did not forget to tell Zheng He's soldiers in a show-off tone that the fleet of Manraka was bombed into slag without even seeing their faces.

Many of Zheng He's soldiers couldn't help but feel heartbroken, calling them late, otherwise this free military merit should be theirs.

In the evening, Chen Kan and Zheng He had already drunk three times and had five flavors, and they had told each other about their experiences over the years.

Zheng He told Chen Kan word for word what he had seen and heard about sailing on the sea for three years, and Chen Kan also told Zheng He everything that happened in the Ming Dynasty.

Although Zheng He and Daming did not completely sever contact, the speed of transmitting news by sea could not keep up with the speed of things changing.

So when Zheng He learned about the changes in the Ming Dynasty in recent years, he was still embarrassed.

Especially when I heard that Zhu Neng, the Duke of Chengguo, who had the Daming Dinghaishen Needle, actually died of seafood given by His Majesty, he couldn't help but be silent for a long time.

Zheng He was taken back to Nanjing by Mu Ying from Kunming at the age of eight to become a eunuch, and has been following Zhu Di since then, so he understands the meanness and unkindness of the Zhu family very well.

But the death of Zhu Neng, the Duke of Chengguo, still inevitably made him feel sad that a rabbit died and a fox died.

Although he is a eunuch and a slave of the heavenly family, he is not a military general in the real sense.

But whether it is the Battle of Jingyan or the current leading the fleet to sea, what he is doing is the work of a military general.

When Fengtian was martyred, he formed a deep friendship with these generals of the Yongle Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty.

became famous in the first war, and no one in the Ming Dynasty, regardless of the emperor and hundreds of officials, regarded him as a eunuch anymore.

At that time, I didn't expect that the rabbit and dog cooking would come so quickly.

After being silent for a long time, Zheng He didn't say anything, just lightly touched the wine glass with Chen Kan.

Chen Kan didn't continue to say more, there are some things that everyone knows, there is no need to delve into them.

Spread a chopstick dish for Zheng He, Chen Kan smiled and said: "Zheng Shuai, this is the long-haired beef from the Xuanwei Mansion of Wusizang, and you can't eat beef in the Central Plains, so try it." ”

Zheng He shook his head, stretched out his chopsticks to a whole piece of pork knuckle, and said indifferently: "Jinghai Hou, don't keep good things for yourself to eat just because Ben Hou is a Hui person, struggle in the deep palace, and sometimes have to compete with wild dogs for food, our family has long been taboo in meat and vegetarian." ”

Chen Kanwan smiled and pushed the pork knuckle in front of Zheng He.

Chen Kan knew that Zheng He was a Hui person, but he had no intention of keeping his elbows for himself.

It's just that the chef misplaced the food when he served it.

And Zheng He saw that Chen Kan was so interested, so he simply gave up the chopsticks, and directly held a whole pork leg in his arms, gnawing his mouth full of oil.

After the topic was finished, Chen Kan quietly watched Zheng He gobble up food.

Overseas materials are abundant, but the taste of Daming is always the most nostalgic taste.

Zheng He held the pork leg and gnawed on it, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

Chen Kan saw it, but he didn't say anything, they were all big men, and there was no need to say those sensational words.

Zhang Dong's untimely voice sounded outside the door: "Master Hou, can my subordinates come in?" ”

Chen Kan turned the wine glass in his hand and replied lightly: "Enter!" ”

"Squeak~"

The wooden door was pushed open, Zhang Dong entered the door and gave a military salute to the two, and said loudly: "Master Hou, our patrol warship found that a large number of natives who fled out of the city in Malacca City were fleeing towards the land behind the city. ”

Hearing this, Zheng He put down the pig's leg.

Chen Kan took a deep breath and did not respond to Zhang Dong, but looked at Zheng He and asked, "What does Zheng Shuai mean?" ”

Zheng He pondered for a moment, and said lightly: "If you escape, let's escape, our target is the royal treasury in the city, this season, they can't transfer much goods, there is no need to stop the fleeing crowd, send people to keep an eye on the palace, once there is a movement in the palace, immediately open fire." ”

Zhang Dong nodded and continued to ask: "The cruising brother also found that there is a Manraka warship with a white flag and is heading towards our army, Master Hou, do you want to meet the Manraka envoy?" ”

Chen Kan shook his head decisively: "Tell Tan Cong that Da Ming does not accept surrender!" ”

"Yes, my subordinates understand!"

Zhang Dong took the order and left, and Chen Kan stretched out his hand to signal Zheng He to continue.

Zheng He stared at the pork leg on the table, shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'll eat it after this battle." ”

Chen Kan understood, wiped his mouth, and said with a smile: "It's okay, at dawn, I will ask the general to eat barbecue on the ruins of the Malacca Royal Palace!" ”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and at the same time got up and walked out of the room.

In the afternoon, the ammunition that should have been transported to Zheng He's ship was almost delivered.

After eating and drinking, it was Zheng He's moment of revenge.

Taking Zheng He's Panasonic treasure ship, Chen Kan motioned to Tan Cong to detour Zheng He's fleet around a channel.

The old Hongwu cannon on Zheng He's ship did not have a long enough range, and if he wanted to enter the city of Malacca, he had to dock.

Tan Cong was puzzled, why did he have to give a piece of the friendly army a piece of the pie after a good effort to destroy the country?

Chen Kan didn't explain anything to him, but just ordered him to obey orders.

Zheng He's soldiers now need a hearty victory to restore morale, and by the way, remove the depression in their hearts.

After all, he was a soldier of the Ming Dynasty, and it was impossible for Chen Kan not to give them any soup to drink.

Even for the sake of them wandering at sea for three years and bringing endless wealth to the Ming Dynasty, Chen Kan is willing to give them a chance to kill their enemies.

Tan Cong reluctantly carried out the order, and soon, on a channel hundreds of meters wide, Zheng He's car, the Juzong, slowly sailed towards the port of Malacca.

Zheng He's fleet was really old, and most of the soldiers did not have a complete set of armor.

But today, they are excited because their backers have come.

Zheng He stood on the bow of the Juzong, and he was also very excited.

He turned his head and looked at the ragged soldiers on the ship, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly: "Gentlemen, tonight is the time for us to wash away our shame, cheer up, don't let the reinforcements who came to support see the joke!" ”

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

The soldiers have been suppressed for too long, and at this moment, they just want to do it immediately and vent the anger in their hearts.

Zheng He has no nonsense, at this moment, no amount of nonsense is as exciting as the sound of artillery fire.

"Fire!"

There was a loud shout of exhaustion, and a deafening bombardment suddenly sounded above the strait.

The cannons scattered the few hundred ships that were left at sea in Manraka.

The shattered wooden ships ignited a raging fire on the sea, illuminating the entire strait as if it were daylight.

The light of the fire shines into the royal palace in the city of Malacca.

The king of Malacca, Bairi Missoula, who still wanted to rely on the stubborn resistance of the fortified city, looked at the endgame in front of him with a face full of horror.

The personal guards beside him knelt on the ground and shouted loudly: "King, there is an old saying among the Han people, which is called to stay in the green mountains, and if you are not afraid of no firewood, let's escape." ”
