I, the grandson of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, earned 100 million taels at the beginning

What is the main purpose of Zhu Zhangui's visit to the West this time?

In addition to revenge for Zheng He and others, the main purpose is for money.

The telegram network plan is still waiting to be implemented. Right now, Daming has nothing but money.

What did Zhu Zhangui do before?

That is the murderous pirate leader who criss-crosses the coastline of the Western Ocean, making children stop crying, businessmen terrified, and women clamping their legs.

Now that he met a merchant ship, Zhu Zhangui, who came with a mission, naturally wanted to copy his old business.

Raising his hand to pat Zheng He's shoulder next to him, Zhu Zhangui asked excitedly, "Old Zheng, have you brought anything?"

Zheng He raised his head and glanced at Zhu Zhangui, gave me a look that you are not at ease, and turned to the deputy next to him.

"Let the brothers change flags and change clothes!"

The order was quickly conveyed to the ships. The sailors, officers and soldiers who were preparing to fight, with the help of the veterans who had gone to sea with Zhu Zhangui, lowered the Qinglong battle flag of the Ming Dynasty as quickly as possible, and replaced it with a skull. flag.

The other officers and soldiers quickly took off their clothes and put on various clothes that had been prepared long ago.

However, it is impossible to change the armor or something, after all, there is not so much preparation.

In this way, a group of pirates with skeleton flags, uniform armor, and messy clothes inside were officially born.

"Captain Jack, can we really make a lot of money? Is there really a legendary golden kingdom in the East?"

Tens of nautical miles away, more than a dozen ships lined up in a single line, advancing unhurriedly with the help of ocean currents.

On the largest boat among them, a fat man with fair skin and blond hair looked at the endless ocean, and worriedly asked a strong white man wearing a boat cap beside him.

Jack, Starring.He used to be a captain of the Eagle Country Ocean Fleet, and now he is the guide of a sea caravan, responsible for guiding the caravan, and taking the people he recruited along the way to protect the safety of the fleet.

Ever since Zheng He appeared in the European region and the huge and brilliant fleet shocked these white pigs, the white pigs who had been paying attention to the inland area also turned their attention to the sea.

I don't know when it started, there is such a saying circulating in Western countries.

In the far east of the sea, there is a country of gold, where gold is everywhere, and where advanced technology is everywhere.

As long as you get there, you can pick up large pieces of gold anywhere, and just ask any old farmer, and you can get technology that is countless years beyond the current era.

Although this news is a bit exaggerated, it does not prevent these white pigs from believing it.

Less than two months after Zheng He's fleet left, various countries in Europe by the sea announced their shipbuilding plans.

In particular, countries such as Britain and France, which bought part of the shipbuilding blueprints from Zheng He, called countless talents to study the shipbuilding blueprints, and built various warships day and night, preparing to form a huge fleet to go to the east to pick up gold and learn to advance knowledge.

Some people have also asked, why don't all countries join hands to conquer the golden country, and then divide up the interests of all countries and develop prosperity and strength together.

Regarding this proposal, countries chose to pretend not to hear it.

There are a few people who are not greedy who can become those in power. It's not that they haven't thought about this method, but it's too difficult to realize this possibility.

The reason is very simple.

Western countries have conquered each other for so many years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that each of them is a life-and-death enmity. If so many deadly enemies join hands to fight an enemy, you are sure that some of them will not join forces with each other to deceive themselves.

Well, even if there is no such possibility, and they were lucky enough to defeat the Golden Kingdom.

Then, who will distribute the benefits obtained?

Benefits are the most difficult to distribute, and it is difficult for them to find a leader. After all, no one will obey anyone. If the distribution is not good, it may cause Western countries to cause an astonishing melee due to the uneven distribution of benefits.

Once the war arises, the countries that have finally obtained money and technology will slowly be consumed in the war, and then be surpassed by the latecomers.

Combining various reasons, each country finally chose to do its own thing. How to get the gold and the advanced technology depends entirely on the ability of each country.

After more than three years and nearly four years of development, the sea power of various countries has become stronger and stronger, such as the grape fruit, the eagle country, the poor country, and the Dutch country. These countries with good strength and located on the edge of the ocean have all formed Professional naval fleet.

Not only is the naval power of various countries increasing, civil organizations are also forming long-distance trade teams, stimulated by this rumor.

The fleet that appeared in the Arabian Sea today is the first batch of pioneers.

"It should be. After all, the fleet that appeared in our place came from the mysterious east. The reason why Portugal's military has developed rapidly in recent years is because they captured many warships and weapons from the eastern country."

Captain Jack, holding up his binoculars to observe the situation on the sea surface, answered this question again impatiently. I don't know how many times he has been asked.

"Then you said that when we got there, would they treat us badly or even attack us because the Portuguese country attacked their fleet?"

The fat man continued to ask uneasy.

Captain Jack retracted the binoculars, frowned and stared at the fat man for a long time, clenched his fists slightly, and finally considered that the man was his employer, and hitting him might affect his future, so he sighed helplessly and shook his head.

"No, we are from the Great Eagle Country. Our king gets along well with them. With this kind of relationship, even if they have a bad impression of us, they will not attack us."

The fat man patted his chest in relief. He took a big risk on this voyage. He gambled all his possessions. The purpose was to go to the east to buy the beautiful porcelain and silk tea, and then sell them back to the west. Grab a fortune hard.

As long as the mysterious eastern country doesn't attack him, he will have the opportunity to buy a large amount of goods and sell them back to the west to make a fortune.

"Your Excellency, a caravan has been spotted ahead."

Just as the fat man breathed a sigh of relief, when Jack was about to go back to the cabin to rest for a while, a nervous shout suddenly came from the watchtower.

Captain Jack's heart tightened when he heard the words, and he quickly found a high place to raise the binoculars and looked in the direction of the watch finger.

The magnification of his telescope is not high, and he can only vaguely see a dozen or so black spots moving slowly on the horizon in the distance.

Seeing that the number of each other was not large, Captain Jack was relieved, but he still reminded everyone loudly.

"Children, this place has left our homeland, and it is a strange sea area. The people here are also very strange to us. You all know the risks of sailing at sea. For you to go home alive to meet your relatives, and for future fortune Every opportunity gives me vigilance."

"No one is allowed to be negligent until I have not lifted the danger alert, otherwise I will throw him into the sea to feed the sharks!"

Jack is a very prestigious man, and the sailors obeyed his orders very much, all raised the highest vigilance, holding all kinds of weapons tightly, staring at the black spots that are getting closer and closer .

"Your Highness, why don't we just rush up, and instead act as a caravan?"

Qi Yuan, dressed in a businessman's suit, twisted his body a little unaccustomed, and asked Zhu Zhangui, who was dressed as a young master, beside him.

Obviously, your own strength can directly overwhelm it, so why bother to pretend to be a caravan?

Zhu Zhangui, who was swaying gently with a folding fan in his hand, gave this guy a blank look.

"You, anyway, are the commander of the first army, so you can't use your brain."

"This is the sea, not on land. There is no cover on the sea, and the enemy can easily spot us."

"Based on the size of our battleship and its murderous look, do you think the enemy will approach us stupidly, or wait for us in place?"

"Although they can't run away, it's troublesome for us to chase after them. What's more, there is a slow supply fleet behind us. If they pull too far, they will easily fall behind."

"I see!"

Qi Yuan looked suddenly enlightened, and patted his forehead.

In fact, he had thought of this a long time ago. As a general who is familiar with military books, how could he not understand this truth? The reason why he asked so much just now was on purpose.

As a younger brother, when the boss is by your side, if you appear too smart, leaving the boss with no place to pretend, then you, the younger brother, will not take you to play in the future.

A truly qualified younger brother must always show the heroic wisdom of the boss, so that the boss likes you and remembers you, and you will have the opportunity to be promoted and raise your salary in the future.

"The notice goes on, everyone give me a gentle expression, if anyone scares away my big fish, I will let him go to the boiler room to burn the boiler!"

Looking at the fleet getting closer and closer in the distance, Zhu Zhangui rubbed his hands expectantly, and ordered Qi Yuan beside him to put away his greedy and human appearance, so as not to save his big fish Scared away.

"Hey, it's the boss!"

Qi Yuan raised his hand to salute, and quickly conveyed Zhu Zhangui's order.

The two sides walked towards each other, and soon they could see each other's fleet in the telescope.

"It's the fleet of the Eastern Kingdom!"

Captain Jack, who was staring at the opposite fleet with a telescope, and when he saw the Mingzi flag he had seen hanging on the ship, he shouted excitedly.

"So we're almost there!"

The fat man standing next to him had a surprised expression on his face when he heard that the fleet from the eastern country was coming.

After sailing on the sea for so long, and saving food and drink every day, he finally arrived at the legendary golden kingdom.

Thinking that he had already reached the place, the fat man suddenly felt that it was worth losing more than a dozen catties during this period of time.

"should be!"

Captain Jack replied with some uncertainty, and then stopped talking to the other party.

Although the fleet on the opposite side is also like a merchant ship, some of those who can run on the sea these days will be good, and all of them are devils who eat people and don't spit out their bones. Before he is sure that it is really safe, Jack will not relax. alert.

Fatty also knew that the situation was special at this time, so he didn't dare to disturb Captain Jack, and quietly returned to the last cabin of the defense. He planned to wait until it was officially safe before coming out.

The two fleets were getting closer and closer, and soon reached the distance where they could see each other clearly with the naked eye without binoculars.

"Captain Jack, they are waving to us friendly!"

The observer's report came from the watchtower.

Jack waved his hand, indicating that he knew.

He had seen the other person's face in the binoculars a long time ago, and it looked exactly like the slaves who were paraded through the streets in the Portuguese country.

Originally, he was still a little nervous, wondering if the other party would resent the Westerners because of the sneak attack on the other party's fleet by the Westerners and attack their fleet.

Although the number of the two fleets is similar, the size of the hulls is very different.

The ships of the Eastern Kingdom on the opposite side are all tall and mighty ships, and the fleet led by Captain Jack, except for his flagship which can be compared with the other side, is a bunch of small peas.

If the two sides fight, Captain Jack is really not sure that he can win the opponent, and he is not even sure whether he can escape.

But when he was worried and nervous, he found that not only did the approaching fleet not attack them, but the crew and sailors on board even waved to them enthusiastically.

Although the two parties do not understand each other in language, the gestures to express friendly greetings are similar, and both parties can understand what the other party wants to express.

Seeing the other party's friendly greeting and waving, although Captain Jack did not relax his vigilance, the stiff face on his face gradually relaxed a lot.

"Hallo!"

The fleets of the two sides passed each other at a distance of more than 100 meters. The moment the leading ships of the two sides met, the yellow-skinned man on the opposite ship waved and greeted with a loud voice.

Although the pronunciation of this kind of greeting is very non-standard, the people in Jack's fleet can still understand what the other party wants to express.

"hello!"

The crew members of Jack's fleet, who didn't want to conflict with each other, also vigorously waved their hands and greeted each other loudly.

"What a bunch of idiots. Didn't your mother tell you not to talk to strangers, don't get so close to strangers, and don't trust strangers easily?"

Looking at the white-skinned pig opposite who greeted him, Zhu Zhangui, who was smiling and waving at him with a folding fan in his hand, saw that the timing was about the same, he slammed the folding fan in his hand, and gave a light drink to the walkie-talkie on his shoulder.

"start!"

Zhu Zhangui's voice did not fall, the closed gun door on one side of the cabin was suddenly pulled open, and the cannons were pushed out. The black hole muzzle exuding steel light pointed straight at the dumbfounded Bai Pi on the opposite side. pig.

Chapter 327 : Roasted white-skinned pig, boss, how mature do you want to be?

"Marfak!"

A classic British curse sounded angrily amidst the roar of artillery.

Captain Jack, who intends to make a fortune in the east and go back to enjoy his retirement life, disappeared in the vast sea before reaching the dreamed oriental country and earning a lot of money.

Oh, no, to be precise, he has already reached the territory of the Eastern Kingdom, because the red flag of Ming Dynasty will be raised here in the near future.

It's not that this guy is unlucky, but that this guy really deserves to die.

You said that you are dressed so fancy among a bunch of shirtless crew members, and you stand so tall, fools will know that you are the leader, and if you don’t hit you, you will hit anyone.

The artilleryman in charge of aiming locked on this guy with a single glance.

Capture the thief first, capture the king and shoot the enemy first, and shoot the horse first. Even soldiers with low education levels understand this truth. Captain Jack was very lucky to be aimed at by no less than four guns.

It is estimated that in this world, he is the only one who can enjoy the treatment of being aimed at by several cannons at the same time.

"kill!"

The first round of gunfire fell, and the white-skinned pigs hadn't reacted from the panic. On the deck of the fleet led by Zhu Zhangui, the canvas that was originally disguised as cargo was lifted one by one. Marine soldiers in all kinds of underwear and half-length armor aimed at the opposite side and shot wildly.

The machine gunner at the commanding heights even smiled while frantically pulling the trigger, harvesting the life on the opposite ship.

"Damn it, fight back!"

"Asshole, where's Captain Jack!"

"Jack is dead, fight back quickly, these damn yellow-skinned monkeys will kill us, fight them."

A sound of roaring and cursing sounded everywhere in Jack's fleet, and the foolish guy who heard the order to counterattack actually got up and drew his bow or held an arquebus, and launched an attack on the Ming army's team.
