Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Sailors of the South Seas

"It's best to understand! Let's form a sailor, the pirates will be whitewashed ashore, and the pirates will disappear. But so far, it has only been a huge momentum, but it has never really fought a single battle. Some of the people who were trembling earlier started thinking again. Now, the people of the Ming Dynasty are encountering bandits overseas, and they are waiting for our reaction. Not only them, but also the robbers who robbed the goods are also waiting for our reaction. The eyes of the whole world are staring at us, it's time for the Daming Sailor to show his fangs! ”

It was said that it would be done immediately, but the matter at sea was not so fast.

Just like the few rescued smugglers, in fact, they were robbed of their goods more than a month ago. This is lucky, they are also more familiar with the sea route, otherwise it is more likely to die silently.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Sun Zheng took a trip to Huashan and took advantage of the night to pick up Ling Hu Chong and other disciples who participated in the Sailor Rapid Reaction Force.

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, 15,000 qualified officers and men who had completed the training of the naval army were reorganized and reorganized.

The Nanyang Naval Division was officially formed into an army, temporarily divided into three branches, with one battalion for every 5,000 regular soldiers.

With Shi Yu as the admiral of the Fujian battalion, he was in charge of eight iron-hulled Galen ships, including Dingyuan, Zhenyuan, Zhiyuan, Jingyuan, Jiyuan, Jingyuan, Pingyuan, and Laiyuan, plus the speedboat "Yangwei" led by Ling Hu Chong, and led the team to the expedition on the 16th of the first month. The target is to guide the armed caravan of foreign francs.

In order to be a hit, Sun Zheng upgraded the pot camel machine of Bada Yuan, directly replaced it with an electric engine, and installed spacecraft energy. At the same time, each ship was equipped with communication tools, and the wiki provided communication support and coordinated command. Of course, for the sake of safety, each ship has a wiki or Sonny's doppelganger as an engineer, and the equipment issue is mainly based on the engineer's opinion.

Chang Lian was promoted to the commander of the Qiongzhou battalion, and he was also equipped with eight iron-hulled warships, plus two fast clippers.

The garrison was set up in the area of present-day Sanya, Hainan Province, Fuya County, Qiongzhou, and from now on, they went to the garrison to build wharf barracks, recruit troops, and continue to expand their strength.

The remaining 5,000 people were led by Sun Qiu'an to form the Ryukyu Battalion, which was also eight large and two small and ten boats, and temporarily stayed at the garrison of the big soldiers, and at the same time began to expand the number of soldiers.

At the same time, Sun Zheng quietly built a fleet of sea transport ships completely operated by the wiki, consisting of ten 50-meter ships, each of which recruited dozens to hundreds of crew members, but these crew members did not have to worry about navigation affairs at all, and were only responsible for handling chores and attracting personnel.

The fleet is formed, and two ships will be put between Taizhou Wharf and Jilong Port Wharf to form a fixed flight. Pick up and drop off migrants, transport and exchange of goods between the two places.

The remaining eight ships were taken over by Li Dongsheng and set up the Nanyang Trading Company to be responsible for export trade.

On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Sun Zheng took the time to accompany Zhu Xiurong to the sea and had a birthday at sea.

On the sixteenth day of the first month, Sun Zheng went to Huashan to pick up Yue Buqun, and Ning Zhong was willing to go south with his husband. In this way, the three members of the Yue family all went to Nanyang, and Huashan was completely entrusted to the Sword Sect to take care of.

This hand alone shows a change in the pattern of vision. The wind is clear and exerts the residual heat, sitting in Huashan is like a needle in the sea, never giving up, the wind is uneven is also a top player, wandering outside for more than ten years, suffering all kinds of hardships, and also a lot of sleek in terms of human accidents.

For the hearts of everyone in Anhua Mountain, Sun Zheng placed a wiki clone in Siguo Cliff, and if Huashan has something, he can contact Sun Zheng directly through it. biquge.biz

The next day, I went to the capital to pick up Qian Shuangxi and got an unexpected surprise.

Zhu Houzhao really canonized Zhu Xiurong as the eldest princess of the South China Sea, and assigned the Nanyang Islands, including Qiongzhou Island, to his sister as a fief.

It's simple, and it doesn't even cost to spit to build a wharf in Qiongzhou, which is reasonable and legal.

Qian Shuangxi admired Zhu Houzhao's plucking operation: "Your Majesty's methods are much more sophisticated than before, in order to pass this will, he first put aside the idea of opening the sea." Hey, I didn't see it, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were like being blown up, arguing one by one about saying that the ancestral system could not be violated, as if the sea was opened today, and the country would be destroyed tomorrow. not only rejected this proposal on the spot, but also took the opportunity to force the palace to impeach Liu Jin for 38 major crimes! Thirty-eight! Gonggong Liu was also unlucky, and many of the people who impeached him were promoted by himself. ”

Unlike the official history, this time because of the twenty whips that Sun Zheng beaten, he was restrained for a long time. At the same time, the north was stable, and there was no chance for Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong to hook up, and all kinds of changes allowed Lao Liu to escape the five-year punishment of Zhengde. But people like Lao Liu don't remember to eat or fight at all, and their nature will not change much, and they finally embarked on the road of betrayal and death.

As a result, the first court meeting in the sixth year of Zhengde. As soon as the emperor proposed to open the sea, he was pushed back, but he was forced to dispose of Liu Jin alive.

Zhu Houzhao has been the emperor for a few years, and he is no longer the rookie he was back then. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he threw out his will to canonize the imperial sister as the princess of the South China Sea.

Canonizing a princess or a vassal king, procedurally speaking, does not need to be recognized by foreign courts, and the emperor just goes directly to the central decree.

In order to calm the emperor's mood, the ministers had to pinch their noses and admit it, and the will to canonize the eldest princess of the South China Sea passed the clear road. Legally speaking, in the future, those large and small islands along the southeast coast will have to be dealt with by foreign feudal regulations. Zhu Xiurong is equivalent to the king of the South China Sea, and he is still certified by the Ming monarchs.

On the twentieth day of the first month, Wikimedia reported news from the capital.

Liu Jin's house was raided, and more than 8 million taels of silver and hundreds of thousands of taels of gold were copied out, and the rest of the treasures, antiques, shops, and manors were millions of taels.

Just swallowing so much black money, Zhu Houzhao couldn't raise his hand, and he couldn't even spare his life, and was finally sent to the vegetable market to be beheaded to show the public.

Lao Liu still can't escape this in the end!

On the twenty-second day of the first month, Shi Yu's Fujian battalion encountered the armed merchant ships of the Francois on Luzon Island in the South Seas, and the battle was without suspense, only two cannons were fired from beginning to end, directly sinking the opponent's flagship, and the rest of the merchant ships could not escape the pursuit with full sails, so they could only surrender obediently.

Then Shi Yu divided Pingyuan and Laiyuan to drag the prisoners back to the camp, and led Liuyuan and Yangwei to the port of Luzon. It was originally the seat of the Xuanzhi envoy left by the Ming Dynasty, and now it is occupied by the Francois people.

Don't talk nonsense, just line up the cannon and call the door, and the port obediently raises a white flag and surrenders.

In the end, nearly 3,000 francs of white immigrants and traders were all arrested as war criminals. Its shops and castles were confiscated, and the southbound fleet ate a lot of money.

On the second day of the second month of February, Sun Qiuan led ten ships of the Ryukyu Battalion to inspect the eastern front, arrived at the port of the Japanese state, landed by speedboat, and handed over the national division to the Japanese officials.

The Wa State was required to purge the pirates before June of the sixth year of Zhengde, and hand over all the bandits involved in the previous invasion of the Ming Dynasty to the Ming Naval Division.

If it is not completed by this deadline, the Ming will regard it as a provocation and will not queue up to use force to deal with it.

In the Wa Kingdom, he showed off his might and moved to the Ryukyu Kingdom.

The whole Ryukyu Kingdom rejoiced, crying and shouting for the upper country to leave a garrison, but they were almost overwhelmed by the pirates and pirates.

During his stay in the Ryukyus for a few days, he carried out a wave of sweeps along the Ryukyu Islands in accordance with the clues provided by the Ryukyu monarchs and ministers, destroying hundreds of pirate dens, killing and wounding thousands of people, arresting more than 5,000 people, and confiscating thousands of tons of various materials.

According to the instructions of the national teacher, most of the goods stolen by these pirates, except for precious metals such as gold and silver, such as tea, porcelain, silk, cloth, etc., were handed over to the Ryukyu Kingdom.

The only trace of opposition was masked, and the Ryukyus quickly passed the opinion on the construction of a port, and requested that the Upper Naval Division be stationed there.

Sun Qiu'an agreed to the request, leaving behind two large ships and 500 officers and soldiers of the naval division, and at the same time gave the king of the Ryukyus 100,000 silver dollars and 10,000 Guan Zhengde Tongbao as the cost of building a port and wharf.

Ryukyu is singing praises, this is the style of the kingdom, the teacher of the king!

The three fleets began to dominate the South Seas, and the smuggling fleet, which had been connived at and ignored before, was gradually taken over and forcibly sent to Jilong Harbor for education.

The education course was completed, and the giant ship caravan managed by Li Dongsheng was unveiled. The owners of small merchant ships had no choice but to obediently accept the arrangement and transfer the goods to the Nanyang trading fleet.

Sun Zheng did not slap people to death, but allowed these merchants to board ships at the same time to follow their goods out to sea, and the Fujian battalion sent two boats to accompany them to repatriate some of the prisoners.

The fast giant ship that runs without sails, and the first trip to the sea scared the souls of these turtles.

How big of a difference is it? In these years, ocean navigation mainly relies on the wind, and in the case of smooth wind, merchant ships are no more than 1012 knots, not to mention headwinds, anyway, Chinese people generally do not go to sea in the headwind season.

However, these sailless giant ships of the national division are not affected by the wind at all, and they can run 30 knots casually, and even 60 knots in the open sea area!

What is this concept? This means that their business once a year, the big ship of the national teacher can run back and forth in a month.

On the sea surface of Qiongzhou, he encountered the Qiongzhou battalion warship that came to escort him.

More than 20 sailless giant ships, large and small, traveled all the way south and successfully arrived on Luzon Island. This place has been taken over by a garrison of the Ming Water Division, and it will be left for a few days to rest and set off again.

Cross the Singapore Strait through the Bay of Bengal to the Lion Country.

This is already the farthest point that these merchants can go in previous years, and many people find familiar merchants to sell some of their goods, and most of them still listen to the will of the fleet, and continue to travel south.

This time it was even more terrifying, the fleet did not pass through the coastal route that the Francs were accustomed to, but directly took the Indian Ocean to draw a large arc, around the Cape of Good Hope, and went straight to Portugal.

The journey was 40,000 miles, and it only took half a month to arrive smoothly.

The whole voyage was round-the-clock, and it was completely impossible to predict what the fleet would use to guide it, and how it would explore this route.

Even the maritime merchants of the Ming Dynasty were frightened, not to mention the prisoners of war who were sent with the ship.

At the end of April of the sixth year of Zhengde, the Nanyang Navy Division escorted the Nanyang trading fleet to Portugal, and the fleet arrived at the port of Lisbon.

Chang Liansheng is an old killer who has followed Sun Zheng to cultivate Jingguan in the north, what else is there to say? The battleships did not have to shoot horizontally, and with a few rounds of small guns on the side of the gun, six European-style warships were half-defeated.

Then drive the boat directly to hit it, the European-style sailboat is all wooden, where can you stand the big iron can top the cow, and you will hit it in a mess, and you don't know where to start if you want to save it.

The port garrison witnessed this terrible atrocity, and the garrison blew up the camp in fright.

The Daming Sailor, with an unrivaled momentum, made his debut in Europe.
