Chapter 30 There Can Only Be One Voice on the Sea

In the port of Lisbon, Portugal, countless garrisons jumped around like flies, causing chaos in the port, and all kinds of lawbreakers took the opportunity to jump out and take advantage of the fire to rob, and in less than half an hour, the entire port city was on fire everywhere, and countless people were crying and crying, not knowing what to do.

The legend of being whipped by the whip of God, the memory of being bullied by the Mongols, once again flooded from the bottom of people's hearts.

Countless devout believers fell to their knees and prayed earnestly for the miracle of the manifestation of their Almighty Lord, and if they did not do anything else, I am afraid that those heretics from the east would be killed again.

Chang Liansheng and the officers and soldiers of the Qiongzhou Battalion Water Division were dumbfounded, this is the one that is sung?

Several nobles walked out of the accompanying captives, and explained the situation to Chang Liansheng through Sonny, an engineer who was a guest translator.

Chang Liansheng was a little surprised after hearing this, dare to love such a big city, but there is not even a unified yamen? Who do you rely on to take care of all your affairs?

This is a bit like the appearance of the princes of the Eighteen Roads, when the wind is smooth, they are thriving. When encountering difficulties, they blame each other, and then infighting. When you encounter a tougher opponent, you will blow yourself up in minutes.

Looking at the scene on the pier, there was only a group of kowtow insects kneeling on the ground, and some fishermen, guarding their small boats numbly waiting for the verdict of fate.

The original garrison of the docks had long since disappeared, and they were the private soldiers of several nobles. Usually mainly responsible for collecting taxes or bullying outsiders, when encountering such an opponent whose strength cannot be resisted, it is the basic operation to hurry home and make a wave.

Well, after pondering for a while, Chang Liansheng ordered the rapid reaction troops to rush to the beach and land.

After seizing the firing point at the pier and forming an effective defensive line, large forces were sent ashore one after another.

More than 2,000 officers and men of the Marine Division carried repeating rifles and marched into the city of Lisbon in orderly steps.

With such a high wall, there is not even a gatekeeper.

In less than half an hour, all the city defenses fell into the hands of the sailors.

Chang Liansheng ordered several propaganda teams, each with a few prisoners into the city to cooperate with the propaganda.

Several of the captives had been military officers and were well acquainted with Lisbon's military power. Knowing the castle locations of several nobles, he took the initiative to jump out and lead the way.

The officers and men of the Navy Division began to take over the security of the city in accordance with the regulations.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand the language, bullets and bayonets are very persuasive.

A large number of lawbreakers with obvious malicious intentions are wantonly committing crimes on the streets and have been shot dead on the streets. Some people tried to resist, some tried to escape, and some attempted to take hostages, etc., all kinds of situations The officers and men of the Navy Division have already gone through countless drills, and dealing with this kind of die-hard elements is just one word, kill!

The sound of gunfire rang out in Lisbon for nearly three hours, and finally died down near noon.

The unrest in the city subsided, and the fires were effectively brought under control. After much persuasion, the people obediently retreated to the building, waiting for the situation to clear.

At the same time, the four nobles of Lisbon were in their own castles, surrounded by the officers and soldiers of the sailors.

Those aristocratic private soldiers, who witnessed the arrogance of the huge ship of the Ming Naval Division, and also watched the decisiveness of the officers and soldiers of the Naval Division when they took over the law and order, and they could not see anyone at all against the kind of muskets that could fire continuously, and the arquebuses in their own hands.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the four nobles surrendered one after another.

Chang Liansheng gave them more decent treatment and invited them to negotiate on the ship.

It was said that it was a negotiation, but it was basically Comrade Chang who put forward conditions, Sonny translated into Portuguese, and the four indigenous nobles nodded obediently.

He knew that in this era, Europeans believed in treaties written in black and white, and after the conditions were finished and the other party agreed, he immediately put out a large piece of rice paper, and wrote a copy of the relevant provisions in Chinese and Portuguese, and asked the four of them to sign the contract.

The four nobles were somewhat aggrieved, but at this time, they were under the eaves and had to bow their heads, so they could only accept it obediently.

The treaty stipulates that the trade between Ming and Portugal must be transported by sea by the Four Seas Trade.

The sale of Ming goods in Portugal was entrusted to the four nobles. The Portuguese goods were settled and delivered locally, and they were also transported back to the East by the four seas trade.

The four of them wanted to cry without tears, after all, this means that the huge profits of ocean trade will be completely earned by the four seas, and they can only make some hard-earned money.

Chang Liansheng advised them that in the face of such a strong capacity of the Four Seas Trade, their Portuguese snail shell-like boat had no competitiveness at all. And the most important one, although those ships are quite profitable, how much profit can belong to the four nobles? To be able to be a full-fledged agent of the four seas, how much profit do you make?

The four nobles suddenly became enlightened, no longer entangled, and signed the treaty happily.

After all, Europe is now in the period of the Great Colonial Movement, and the four minor nobles of Lisbon cannot even influence the Portuguese political scene, let alone the whole of Europe. If this matter spreads, it will inevitably cause other nobles and even the royal family to ask for guilt, can the powerful Daming Water Master provide a little support?

Needless to say, Chang Liansheng left two warships stationed there. The four nobles did not hesitate to carve out a seaside area as a garrison base.

More than a thousand officers and men of the Naval Division, fully armed to the teeth, in this era, could sweep almost all of Europe.

However, Chang Liansheng remembered the instructions of the national teacher, and was not greedy for big things, and after showing his fangs, he showed the gentlemanly demeanor of the Heavenly Empire.

He handed over all the captives who had been escorted back to the four nobles for disposal. According to European customs at this time, the corresponding ransom was received, and all of it was used to recruit craftsmen and build a garrison base.

The fears of the four Lisbon nobles were not groundless, and only five days later, Wiki discovered that several nearby ports had mobilized a large number of warships at the same time, and were resting in the open sea, apparently for the Ming Marine.

In order to achieve the purpose of deterrence for the greatest effect, Chang Liansheng pretended not to know the news.

After five days of running-in, Portugal and Spain completely merged to form a combined fleet of 164 warships, large and small. Mightily marching to Lisbon, they wanted to annihilate this infidel force from the east in one fell swoop.

On the twelfth of May, the Combined Fleet arrived off the coast of Lisbon and found that the fleet of the Great Ming Naval Division did not react at all, and seemed to be completely unaware of their movements.

At about 9 o'clock in the morning, the combined fleet took the initiative to attack.

As soon as the four battleships that hit the vanguard fired a few shots, the Daming Naval Division began to counterattack.

The battleship was horizontal, dozens of small steel cannons stretched out the gunboats on the side of the gun, and after a round of shelling, the four strikers of the combined fleet ended their mission, sinking and sinking, breaking and breaking, and one unlucky one was hit in the powder magazine and was killed on the spot, and the scene was extremely splendid.

The Daming Navy Division launched a counterattack, two ships stayed behind to guard the house, and the remaining six ships attacked separately.

After only a few rounds of artillery, the combined fleet was crushed. The opponent's artillery is not only outrageously accurate, but the key is that it is terrifying. Thirty or forty meters long warships often lose their combat effectiveness after being shot at each other. And the heavy cannon on his side, the solid bullet that shoots out, is not accurate at all, and what target can be hit depends on God's mood.

finally got hit by a shot, but the shell hit someone's hull and was directly bounced off, leaving not even a pit.

At this time, the combined fleet found out that the opponent's large battleship turned out to be iron-hulled!

How can this be fought?

The rest of the war is just a repetition of the old Northern Expedition.

The goal of the six giant ships was not to injure the enemy, but to prevent the enemy from escaping.

There is a wiki in the air to monitor the whole process, and the speed of the wind tent warship depends on God's mood, and after the rout, there is no chance to escape. Obviously, God hasn't been in a good mood lately.

Anyone who dares to pull the sail and run away will cover the fire and directly break into pieces.

There is no need to shout, artillery fire is the most effective demonstration.

The battle began at nine o'clock and ended in less than two hours. biquge.biz

At the cost of 26 sunken ships and 28 ships losing combat effectiveness, the combined fleet only left a black mark on the side of a certain ship of the Daming Naval Division.

The remaining 110 battleships obediently dropped their sails and surrendered.

The four leading party of Lisbon appeared arrogantly, and they arrogantly regarded themselves as lords, and captured a group of nobles from their own country and neighboring countries, large and small, and escorted them back to Lisbon for re-education.

Thousands of soldiers of the Combined Fleet were escorted ashore and placed in custody.

In order to teach these European colonialists a profound lesson, a few days later, Sun Zheng flew straight to Lisbon.

At night, he took advantage of the 110 European-style warships moored at sea to take away, and then released more than 100 large fireworks in the night sky as an explanation for the fate of the warships.

quietly met Chang Liansheng once, and explained him some details of micro-operation.

Tens of thousands of captured European sailors were packed away by unloaded merchant ships from all over the world.

In the early morning of 20 May, the big ship blew a few whistles and sailed away, without stopping, and returned directly to Dayuan.

The two kings of Portugal and Spain were still arguing, and they didn't even know who paid the ransom for the nobles, but they learned that more than 10,000 officers and soldiers had been taken away and disappeared.

Combined with the fact that more than 100 warships were blown up and sunk a few days ago, most of these soldiers did not end well.

In this era, 160 warships and more than 10,000 sailors were the largest armed forces and wealth of the two countries.

It takes three to five years to build a boat, and it takes at least five to ten years to train a qualified sailor.

If you lose the battle, you still have a chance to start over, but with no ships and people, it is not easy to make a comeback.

This time, it was like stabbing a hornet's nest.

Not only Portugal and Spain, but all of Europe have been stirred into a pot of porridge.

It's just that the difference in combat power is so big that it makes people desperate, and they can't even have the courage to resist.

The advantage that Europeans are best at has appeared, and if they can't beat it, they admit it, take the initiative to get closer, and pay tribute to the strong, isn't it the most basic operation of a human-like person with a normal mind?

Soon, France, Britain, Italy, Greece, and other countries that had interests in the ocean-going colonial trade all sent personnel to contact them, and all kinds of flattery and ugliness were all present.

In mid-June, Chang Liansheng met with a group of European representatives at the Daming Naval Base in Lisbon Port.

Admiral Chang's attitude is very clear, there can only be one voice on the sea, the voice of the Ming Dynasty!
