Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 764, cleaning up the east coast of the Golden Continent

In the 'True Cross Land' El Salvador, a fleet composed of several Ming ships and Spanish ships sailed towards the harbor of El Salvador, and the sea was filled with a thick smell of gunpowder.

"Boom~Boom~"

Accompanied by rumbling roars, shells whizzed towards El Salvador, and white smoke rose from the ships at sea.

The Portuguese ships in the harbor were riddled with holes in the first time, and they were about to sink into the sea. Joao roared angrily: "Fire, fire~"

When did Spain mix with the Ming people and openly attack Portugal's territory? Is this going to declare war on Portugal?

"Dong Dong~"

In El Salvador, the artillery began to counterattack, billowing white smoke rose, and the shells attacked the ships on the sea one by one.

"Pfft~"

On the sea surface, high water columns rose from the sea surface everywhere, and the turbulent sea water wet the deck of the ship.

"kill~"

The Spanish commander brandished the long sword in his hand and roared continuously. The ship rushed towards El Salvador while firing. There is no way to destroy these Portuguese by shelling alone. If you want to completely destroy them, you still have to fight after landing. .

Although the cannons of this era are loud and scary, they are all solid iron balls. As long as they are not unlucky enough to be hit on the spot, there is basically no big deal.

Find a place to hide, and fight after the artillery passes. Everyone is very skilled at this.

If you are fighting at sea, everyone is on a boat and you have to worry about the ship being sunk. The Portuguese are on land, and they are at sea. The opponent can afford it and slowly play shelling with you.

But I can't afford it. Once my ship is sunk, it will be over, so I must rush over as soon as possible, land and fight the Portuguese at close range.

"Dong Dong~"

Behind the Spanish ships, the two Ming ships did not rush towards El Salvador, but instead drove back. Intensive shelling and roaring sounded continuously, and the white smoke was enveloped, even the sea breeze could not disperse it.

"The artillery of the Ming people is really powerful~"

"The artillery of the two ships is comparable to that of dozens of our ships."

On the ship of the Unicorn, Spanish commander Banderas looked back at the two Ming ships behind him, and couldn't help admiring.

The artillery of the Ming people not only has a long attack distance and great power, but also has a very fast rate of fire. The Spanish artillery can only fire once in a few minutes.

However, the artillery of the Ming people can fire several rounds in a minute. Coupled with the reasonable layout and the size of the ships, the energy of a single ship of the Ming people can be equal to a dozen Spanish ships.

"If we can have such a powerful artillery, it will not be a problem to sweep the whole of Europe."

Banderas' eyes were slightly red.

Walking on the sea all year round, he is too aware of the power and fear of this kind of artillery.

Long-range, powerful, and fast-firing, these items can bring overwhelming advantages in naval battles. Even though Daming only dispatched two ships, under the attack of this artillery, it is equivalent to several Ten ships.

What is even more unbelievable is that the artillery of the Ming people seemed to have eyes, and the hit rate was very high. The artillery on the Portuguese side had just started to counterattack, and was immediately cleared by the artillery of the Ming people. In a blink of an eye, the Portuguese The artillery position here is covered, completely misfired.

"kill~"

Looking back, raising the sword in his hand, the Spanish ship rushed towards Salvador.

"Boom~Boom~"

As soon as the ship docked, it was immediately attacked by a large number of muskets, and the sound of fried beans continued to sound. Spanish sailors armed with spears, swords, bows and arrows rushed into El Salvador like wolves and tigers.

It contains the money and women they have longed for.

The battle didn't last long, and after only an hour or so, the Portuguese raised the white flag and announced their surrender.

Joao was tied up and crushed in front of Banderas. When the two sides met, they immediately recognized each other.

They are all walking on the sea, and they are all old enemies. They are all acquaintances in the Americas, and they are very familiar with each other. The well-known captains and commanders all know each other.

"Banderas, are you Spain declaring war on us Portugal?"

Looking at Banderas, Joao said angrily.

El Salvador itself is a very small port, and there are not even a thousand people here. Facing the wolf-like Spaniards and the Ming people who are constantly supporting them with heavy artillery fire in the distance, Joao feels that he has been defeated. injustice.

If it was just the Spaniards, they wouldn't have been defeated so quickly. Their artillery didn't have any effect at all, and they were cleared by the Ming's artillery as soon as they fired.

"No, no, Your Highness João, it is not our Spain declaring war on you Portugal, it is the Daming people who are declaring war on you. The entire Golden Continent is the territory of the Daming people. You have established a colonial stronghold here without their permission. It has violated the territory of Ming people."

"We were just invited to come here to maintain the trade order on the east coast of Golden Continent and eliminate pirates."

Banderas smiled all over his face. This battle was fought very clearly.

With the artillery support of the Ming people, the artillery of the Portuguese stopped firing. They rushed up smoothly and took El Salvador with ease.

"Ming people?"

Joao's eyes were full of doubts, but soon, not far away, groups of Ming troops in full armor came towards here with neat steps.

"You Spaniards will regret it, you will regret it, you are making a deal with the devil!"

He roared with blood-red eyes.

The Ming people are stronger than imagined. Today, I saw the terrible artillery of the Ming people, and at the same time, I saw the strength of the Ming army.

……

In the northern part of the Golden Bay (later Gulf of Mexico), the French established a colony called Louisiana here. At this time, with the rising sun in the morning, the French in Louisiana started a new busy day.

Louisiana is not far from Penglai City established by the Ming people, which greatly facilitates French businessmen to come to Penglai City to do business with the Ming people.

France is also a very powerful country throughout Europe, with a huge land area and a large population.

So although the French came to America later than the Spaniards and Portuguese, Louisiana developed into a fairly good small port in a short period of time.

Compared with the colonial strongholds in other places, there are no gold or silver mines near Louisiana, nor any special wood, spices, etc.

To the north of here is an endless, wide and flat plain. A rushing river divides this plain into two, and the land is extremely fertile.

But obviously, the French didn't come here to farm, they only wanted gold and silver, or goods from the Ming people.

"Damn Ming people~"

"Their products are too expensive, they are as disgusting as the Venetians, I can't wait to snatch them all~"

"What's even worse is that these Daming people don't even allow us to enter Penglai City. They didn't even drink a glass of rum when we went to Penglai City."

"Sooner or later, we must loot the Ming people and let them know how powerful we French are."

In every corner of Louisiana, French businessmen and sailors are constantly complaining.

The goods of the Ming people are too expensive, and they don't have much money in their hands to buy enough goods. For the maritime merchants of this era, the strategy they have always pursued is robbery.

It doesn't matter if you don't have money, you can rob it first. If you rob goods, money, or even people, you can sell them as slaves.

Many businessmen came to the Americas without bringing much money, only to find out when they got here that the goods of the Ming people were very expensive, and they simply couldn't buy enough goods to fill their cargo holds.

"Clang~clang~"

At this time, the person in charge of the watch in the port rang the siren, and the whole of Louisiana suddenly panicked.

They hadn't gone to rob other people yet, but they didn't expect to be robbed by others first, and more than a dozen large ships were heading towards Louisiana at a high speed.

"Da Ming people~Da Ming people~"

Soon, they could clearly see the flags hoisted on more than a dozen huge ships at sea. The Daming Dragon Flag fluttering in the wind was very eye-catching and easy to recognize.

Before they could react, they figured out why the Daming people came.

"Boom~Boom~"

There were bursts of rumbling shelling sounds from the sea, billowing white smoke rising, a thick smell of gunpowder smoke, and shells whistling overhead.

The Ming people went to war without declaring it, and directly fired a burst of artillery shells at Louisiana.

More than a dozen Ming ships, each with dozens of Miyun cannons, hundreds of cannons attacking at the same time, under the terrifying rate of fire, shells flew all over the sky in an instant, destroying Louisiana in a blink of an eye a mess.

How could this small port like a fishing port be able to withstand such a terrifying and intensive attack?
The French in Louisiana ran away with their heads in their hands, panicking. While watching the shells whizzing overhead, they watched more than a dozen ships of the Ming Dynasty rapidly approaching them and quickly docked. The army was fully armed and rushed to kill.

The battle went very smoothly. The French made a symbolic resistance, and soon raised the white flag. Everyone surrendered. The Ming people tied up these Frenchmen and branded them as slaves. At the same time, they started to set fire to Louisiana. Everything was completely destroyed.

　After checking the information, the slave trade seems to be very popular in this period~
