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

It can be seen from this that [-]% of the first round of shooting hits, one can imagine how terrifying its accuracy is.

"Hit the enemy ship, 0.8 nautical miles away from the enemy ship, you can continue to shoot!"

On the pirate ship of the Ming army, the observer in charge of observation saw the shooting effect, his face was not happy, and he conveyed the result to the bottom without any accident.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The order to fire was issued again, and the gunners who had been prepared for a long time pulled the gun rope vigorously, and enthusiastically sent the hot shells to the Portuguese people on the opposite side.

After 12 o'clock, the distance between the two ships was less than 300 meters.

Due to the backward artillery technology of Putaoguo, the Ming army has not yet entered their range, and they have endured no less than eight rounds of shooting during this period.

After eight rounds of shooting, the warship, which was originally clean and smooth, has become pitted and full of gaps.

There was even an unlucky merchant ship that had several large holes opened below the waterline, and the turbulent seawater rushed in desperately, causing the ship to tilt sharply, and its speed was already as slow as a turtle.

The enthusiastic artillery was still firing crazily, and the time slowly reached 12:30, and the ships from the three parties had already gathered less than [-] meters away.

At a distance of [-] meters, the faces of the people on the opposite boat could already be clearly seen.

"Fire!"

The captain, whose face was covered in blood and wounded in many places by the shot sawdust, squatted beside a cannon, fixedly stared at the pirate Daming ship opposite, and gave the firing order angrily.

"Boom!"

After countless shots, the only remaining artillery opened the first counterattack of the Portuguese country, and it was also the last shot.

"Crash!" The moment the cannon was ejected, a wave suddenly lifted up, and the ship jumped upwards abruptly.

And just at this moment, in the desperate eyes of the Portuguese sailors, the shells flew over the head of the opposite pirate ship and smashed into the turbulent sea.

"Damn, dare to fight back, and let me blast him to death at that point!"

In the gun bay of the pirate ship opposite to the battleship of the Portuguese country, the artillery commander who was directing his brothers to shoot saw that the salted fish on the opposite side dared to fight back. The artillery that was ready to shoot was aimed at the only artillery in the Portuguese country and bombarded desperately.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom!"

The four cannons fired at the same time, and three of them were lucky to directly hit the muzzle of the cannons. The hull on the opposite side, which had been destroyed for a long time, was blasted a big hole by three shells.

The only usable cannon was unluckily hit by a shell, and the muzzle turned sideways, sweeping away a few white-skinned pigs around it, smashing the tattered hull beside it, and plopping into the sea.

The Portuguese fleet was completely powerless to resist.

"Ready to board the ship, remember my words, I want some live!"

Zhu Zhangui, who watched the whole battle with a telescope, saw that there were no more artillery on the other side, and guessed in his heart that the other side had no power to resist, so he directly ordered the preparations for the gang battle.

"Hoohoho!"

The impatient Marines who had been waiting on the boat for a long time waved their weapons excitedly and roared excitedly at the opposite Portuguese ship.

These white-skinned pigs are very valuable, one head can be exchanged for two taels of silver, one tael is given by the imperial court, and the other one tael is the savings of the fleet soldiers led by Zheng He over the years.

The purpose of Zheng He and those soldiers is to use money to motivate the soldiers of Ming Dynasty to kill more white-skinned pigs and pay homage to those brothers who died in foreign countries.

Although the money, many marine soldiers plan to go back and donate it to the families of the fallen soldiers after they get it.

Although the money received will be donated, but before the money is sent out, it is still with me.

Touching the vain money, even though the soldiers knew that the money would be donated to others, their hearts were warm.

"Children, it's time to go all out, this is our last chance, for our family, for our lives, kill!"

Fortunately, the captain with only one broken arm staggered out of the gun bay, waved the half-broken knight sword in his hand, and shouted hoarsely to the remaining sailors and crew members who were still alive preparation.

In order to avoid the shells hidden everywhere, the crew and sailors crawled out of various hiding places in twos and threes amidst the captain's yelling, groped for the available weapons around them, looked at the opposite side with decisive eyes, and prepared for the battle Prepare.

"idiot!"

Qi Yuan, who was in command of the battle, saw that the guys on the opposite side did not hide, but stood up instead.Glancing at the rows of rifles raised by his side, he cursed an idiot in a low voice, and then gave the firing order without hesitation.

"Fire!"

"Bang bang bang..."

After a burst of gunfire, no one stood up on the opposite deck.

Pulling out the revolver at his waist, Qi Yuan waved his hand, and the old sailors who had been prepared a long time ago pulled the rope and jumped to the opposite side.

"boom!"

The two ships were close to each other, and the soldiers of the Ming army, dressed in all kinds of clothes but wearing a uniform half body armor, roared and jumped onto the opposite ship, and began a frenzied slaughter.

An hour later, the battle officially ended.

"His Royal Highness, the battle is over. Five of our troops were injured and no one was killed. Except for more than 40 captured by the enemy, all the rest were killed!"

Qi Yuan, who had just experienced a battle on a boat, strode up to Zhu Zhangui, who was fishing with Xu Ruoying with a fishing rod, and reported the result of the battle.

"Understood, pack up. Let's go to Ceuta to open another field at night. After harvesting the crops, we will go straight to Lisbon, the capital of the grape country."

"Yes!"

Qi Yuan raised his hand to salute, then hesitated, and whispered: "Their Minister of State Affairs is still alive, he wants to see you."

Zhu Zhangui glanced back at him, and said calmly: "I am the prince of Ming Dynasty, not a sister in a small room on the street. Why do cats and dogs see me when they say they meet, then I can't live well? The country's court affairs are still on the way." Don't deal with it anywhere!"

Qi Yuan immediately stood at attention, raised his hand and saluted again, turned and left.

"Why haven't you arrived yet? There was news a few days ago, didn't you say you will come today?"

On the Ceuta pier, the Governor, who had been waiting for a day, frowned as he watched the sunset that was about to fall into the sea.

A few days ago, he received news that the minister of state affairs who went abroad for diplomacy will arrive today, so that he can prepare for the reception.

In order to give the Minister of State Affairs a good impression, he got up early in the morning and waited here.

But this wait lasted for a day, and the fleet on which the Minister of State Affairs had agreed to ride had not even been seen.

"Your Excellency Governor, could it be that the plan has changed and they left directly?"

A person next to him offered a guess.

The Governor shook his head, "Impossible, the Minister of State Affairs is a good friend of my father, if he passes by me, he will definitely come and sit down."

"The last time he passed by here, although he didn't stop, he sent someone to pass a letter saying that he was in a hurry, and he would come over and have a friendly exchange with me when he came back, so he... ..."

"There's a ship coming, it's a big ship, very powerful!"

Just as the Governor was about to talk about the relationship between their family and the Minister of State, excited shouts sounded from the watchtower next to them.

"Here we come, get ready, get ready..."

The governor stopped talking, and hurriedly called the people around him to get ready to welcome him.

Following the governor's greeting, the band and dancing girls who had been prepared for a long time began to play cheerful music and dance passionately.

"It's such a big fleet. It's worthy of being the Minister of State that His Majesty the King likes. This ostentation is really beyond the reach of ordinary people."

As the sun slowly sank into the sea, a mighty fleet slowly came into the eyes of everyone on the pier under the reflection of the setting sun.

People like to watch the excitement.

The people of Ceuta, who had long heard that there would be a big man coming today, heard cheerful music coming from the pier.Without much fun, they gathered around one after another, intending to listen to music and take a look at what the big man looks like.

Of course, most of them still intend to watch those scantily clad dancers to satisfy their greed.

When the fleet under the setting sun came into everyone's eyes, the densely packed crowd on the pier let out a cry of surprise, lamenting the power and might of the Portuguese country.

Hearing the shouts next to his ears, the corners of the governor's mouth curled up slightly.

In his heart now, it was like the scene where a rich and handsome man drove a sports car to call him brother and brother in front of a bunch of poor relatives in the countryside. Under the envious and jealous eyes of the poor relatives, he picked him up to play.

Sensing the envious and awe-inspiring eyes around him, the governor coughed lightly, straightened his clothes, and took a few steps forward with the waiters around him, preparing to welcome the Minister of State Affairs who will disembark later.

"Hey, why did the ship change direction?"

With only one nod left in the setting sun, when the approaching fleet was less than 400 meters away from the shore, under the watchful eyes of the governor expecting everyone, the fleet not only failed to pick up the pilot boat, but instead began to change direction, using the side string to face up the pier.

Seeing this scene, the governor frowned, and suddenly a bad feeling rose in his heart.

But before he could understand the origin of this feeling, his eyes looking at the fleet saw a slowly rising flag, the opened gun port, and the black hole slowly emerging from it. muzzle.

In an instant, the governor's Tong Kong suddenly magnified, and the bright smile on his face gradually turned into panic.

"Yes, sea... sea... sea... pirates!"

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Chapter 337: Countdown to Yongle's Lifespan!

Ceuta is located at the western estuary of the Mediterranean Sea and is an important port controlling the Mediterranean Sea to the Atlantic Ocean.

In 1415 AD, King João I of Portugal sent troops to surround and conquer it, and it became the first colony of Portugal.

This important place of Ceuta, until the future, has been in the hands of the Portuguese country.

Afterwards, the grape country, which was eating sweets, saw that the inland area could not break through, so it directly aimed at the stars and the sea.

This move by the Portuguese country suddenly opened the minds of Western countries, and the age of great exploration officially began from this step.

Ceuta has such a good terrain and such a good place to choke the neck, Zhu Zhangui will naturally not ignore it.

As long as Ming controls this place, the north can attack Europe, the south can go straight to Africa, and the countries around the Mediterranean Sea will be blocked in the middle. In addition to the future Suez Canal, the Mediterranean Sea will be Daming's back garden bathhouse.

You can wash as you want, and you can wave as you want.

As far as these countries in the West are concerned, those tiny places have lost their maritime trade, and the development of economy, commerce, technology and technology will not only stagnate, but the progress will be very slow.

Controlling the western ocean trade, Ming's plan to conquer the world was completely laid down.

"Run, it's a pirate!"

I thought I was welcoming a big shot, but suddenly turned into a pirate, and the people on the shore were dumbfounded.

Stunned, he even forgot to dodge the first round of artillery bombardment.

The people on the pier, not to mention standing airtight, are also extremely crowded.

This density is even more exaggerated than the army array.

Coupled with the close-range shooting, the power of the artillery was maximized. A shell penetrated into the crowd and penetrated more than a dozen people on the spot.

This is still the solid shell fired, those artillery shells loaded with explosive shells, the shells hit the crowd, the tragedy is impossible to look directly at.

All kinds of internal organs, heads and limbs flew all over the sky, drenching the heads and faces of the stunned audience around.

One of the guys was slammed in the face with a piece of booty intestines and was shaking.

What's worse, he was startled and opened his mouth wide because he saw the pirates.

The results are predictable!

"vomit!"

The unlucky man bent down fiercely, and ran towards the inside of the pier while vomiting and crawling.

The scene of a person crawling forward with hands and feet, and spraying liquid from his mouth can be imagined how shocking it is.

The riot screamed and trampled, and the crowd ran around like bees exploding their nests.

The young and strong pushed their way through the crowd and ran wildly, while the old and weak fell to the ground, trampled to death by countless feet.

"Order the gunner to extend the shooting, the marines are ready to land, the target is to rob all valuable items, and anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"

"In addition, all soldiers and officials in the Portuguese country here will be executed. I don't want prisoners. I will chop off the heads and pile them on the pier. Remember to put our logo and say hello to these white pigs, so as not to save us Next time they come, they don’t know each other.”

In the command room on the ship, Zhu Zhangui watched the tragic situation on the pier expressionlessly, and gave one cruel order after another.

"Oh!"

After the order was conveyed, the assault boats were released from the boat. The soldiers who had been prepared for a long time quickly climbed down the rope ladder. After landing on the boat, they watched the pier vigilantly with their weapons in their hands.

When a ship was full, the junior officer and guard in charge of driving the ship came to the stern position, held a handle behind the tail of the ship with one hand, and took out a rope end with the other hand and pulled it hard.

There was a chug-chug sound, and a fan behind the stern spun rapidly.

"Hold on, let's go!"

After successfully launching the boat, Chief Wei let out a loud shout, and raised the handle in his hand, the fan blades submerged in the water and a large splash was made, and the assault boat slowly accelerated, heading towards the pier.

"Although it's not what I want, it's also a good thing. Apart from anything else, soldiers don't need to row boats with their feet when it comes to naval landings."

Having walked out of the command room, Zhu Zhangui, who was standing beside the side of the ship, nodded in satisfaction as he watched the landing craft roaring towards the pier.
