1635 Han style rises again

Chapter 119 Homecoming
After staying in Kupang for one day and unloading personnel and materials, Cao Xiong ignored the enthusiasm of the local colonial officials to keep them. The next day, he set sail and led the fleet out of Kubang Wharf one by one.

Ever since he saw the professional route mapping ability of Second Lieutenant Andrew Florent on the road, Cao Xiong knew that it was impossible for them to hide the existence of the Hanzhou Continent from him.

The Dutch only need to draw a map according to the route drawn by Second Lieutenant Andrew Florent, and they can slowly explore the Hanzhou continent and even find out the location of Jianye City.Of course, even if you kill Second Lieutenant Andrew Florent now, it won't help.After passing through Batavia twice, he will report to his superior no matter what.

After leaving Gubang, Cao Xiong's fleet headed straight for Jianye City, no detours on the way.

Because there are more than 300 people on board, including more than 30 women. These are the former pirates and some immigrants who got married and bought and sold near Guangzhou. Most of them are young people aged [-] to [-] woman.Even so, along the way, due to various reasons, more than [-] people died one after another.Cao Xiong didn't want to suffer any losses during the last part of the trip.

"Polang 1" will be anchored in a bay more than ten miles away from Jianye City, and start another day of fishing.

More than 20 days ago, Niu Jinmin led people to drive the "Polang 2" to Batavia. Counting the days, there are still about ten days before returning.

Today, it is a rare sunny day, the blue sky is like washing, and the sea water looks extraordinarily blue and calm.Dong Fengshan only wore a pair of knee-length shorts, his upper body was bare, and he dragged the fishing net vigorously with both hands.

Beside him were six or seven men in the same attire who were also struggling to pull the fishing net.Obviously, this net must be full of fish.

The knee-length shorts they wore were naturally conceived by Qi Tian and produced by the garment workshop in the city.This kind of knee-length shorts, once launched, immediately won the favor of many men.

Lightweight and breathable, easy to wash, and save fabric.The temperature in Jianye City is 20-30°C all year round, and the coldest season is June and July, but the temperature is also above 15°C.Therefore, these knee-length shorts can be worn for almost half a year.

"This net is really good!" A Ming immigrant who had only been on the boat for less than half a month, excitedly grabbed a big fish, threw it into the wooden barrel, and said to his companions, "I don't think I should drink more tonight." Mouth fish soup!"

"I still want to eat a few more bites of fish to make up for what I haven't eaten for more than 20 years!" Another immigrant from the Ming Dynasty looked at the big fish in his eyes, and always had the urge to pick one up and put it in his mouth. .

Dong Fengshan laughed and cursed after hearing this: "Are you f*cking hungry?"

"Brother Dong, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I'm really scared of being hungry!" The Ming immigrant named Fang Jinhe showed an indescribable expression, "I will never forget the feeling of being hungry for the rest of my life! ... that At that time, I just wanted to stuff something into my mouth. Just give me a bite to eat, and I can do anything!...Have you ever seen cannibalism?"

"...I've seen..." Another Ming immigrant said in a low voice, "It's like stewing a pot of pork and mutton..."

Dong Fengshan was horrified when he heard it, "You...you...you...damn you, you have eaten people too!" As he said that, his body collapsed instantly.

"No, no..." Those Ming immigrants shook their heads again and again, "...We don't have much strength, how can we eat people!"

Dong Fengshan heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then he glared at them again, "Come on, if you have strength, prepare to eat people!"

"...How can it be!" Several immigrants from the Ming Dynasty shook their heads, "Eating people, isn't that a beast!"

Being a beast, at least you can live, but some Ming people immigrated, but they thought so in their hearts.

"... Ships! Several big ships!" A Ming immigrant suddenly looked at the sea to the north and murmured.

Dong Fengshan heard this, and looked up, and as far as he could see, several boats with sails were slowly approaching.

Because of the pirate attack last time, everyone was very vigilant. After a moment of dazed attention, the old sailors on the ship immediately kicked, beat and yelled to start the ship and return to Jianye City.

"Three ships,...the distance is too far, I can't see what kind of shape!" The watchman shouted loudly from the mast.

"When you really recite, when you come out, you should take a binocular!" Dong Fengshan muttered.

After a long time, the anchor was pulled up, the sails were slowly raised and opened, and everyone immediately sailed to the Jianye City Wharf to escape.

"Fire a few shots and warn the pier first!" Dong Fengshan ordered.

Seeing the three ships getting closer and closer to his side, he couldn't help becoming anxious.It didn't take long to turn over more than 200 pirates, and this **** came again.Moreover, seeing that the scale of the ship was much larger, there must have been more people there than last time.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The few cannons on the ship casually aimed at the sea and fired.It is hoped that the sound of cannons will be used to warn the pier in advance so that Jianye City can prepare for defense.

"Is this the fucking pirate ship captured by Jianye City?" Cao Xiong raised his binoculars and looked at the ship in front of him that kept fleeing towards the shore, and asked Qi Dalu with some uncertainty.

"I can't tell." Qi Dalu was a little excited when he saw that he was going to Jianye City, and he didn't pay attention to the fleeing ship in front of him.

"They fired!...Where are they going?" Many sailors had gathered at the bow of the ship, and they were all excited as they watched the coastline approaching.

"They seem to be warning?"

"Which idiot is this? Don't you recognize our boat?"

"Rush over and throw the guy who fired randomly into the sea?"

"Bastard, you know how to run away! At least, you shoot at us!"

"..."

When Cao Xiong heard this, he also shook his head and smiled wryly.When the ship in front fired its guns like this, thick smoke billowed from the bank in a short while, presumably it was a newly built beacon tower.Didn't the wharf and camp think that there were foreign enemies coming again, and there would be chaos for a while.

"Drive the boat to the edge of the trestle bridge and dock sideways, don't leave room for others."

"Fang Jinhe, you fucking hurry up and help lower the sail, pack it up and drag it away."

"Xiao Sun, go to the boat and cut off the mast."

As soon as Dong Fengshan waited for the ship to land, he immediately ordered to destroy the ship, preparing to make it stand beside the trestle bridge.

"Hey, hey, wait a minute!" An old sailor looked at the three ships that were getting closer and closer behind him, so familiar!Especially the big sailing ship at the front seems a bit like Master Cao's flagship "Pioneer".

"Wait for the enemy to rush over and bombard you to death!" Dong Fengshan cursed and turned his head to see how far the "enemy ship" was.

"Huh!" Dong Fengshan was a little unbelievable when he saw the boat behind him, and then he was overjoyed, "Master Cao and the others are back! ... Stop, stop, stop... Don't cut down the mast,... Damn you, don't cut it down!"

As Cao Xiong's fleet slowly approached the pier, Dong Fengshan's boat was already full of cheers.The fort guards near the pier also rushed onto the trestle, calling and roaring loudly to Cao Xiong's fleet.

"Dong Fengshan, you idiot, you still don't want to make room, let us stop the boat!" Someone shouted at the "Polang 1" at the bow.

Dong Fengshan looked helplessly at the mast that had been broken into two pieces. In order to prevent the enemy from attacking and seize his own ships, he had already made a plan.That is, if you can escape, you can go far away and find a secluded shore to hide.If you can't escape, destroy the ship's control facilities and create obstacles for the enemy to seize the ship.

As a result, the people on the boat used too much force just now, and actually cut off the mast.Now people can only go ashore to tow the cable to get the boat out of the position of the trestle.

"Where are Yu Fukun and Qi Tian?" After getting off the boat, Cao Xiong followed the crowd to the camp, looking at the hugely changed Jianye City as he walked.There are many more brick and tile houses, and various workshops have also been built. Everyone who walks and works in the past has a positive look on their faces.

"Yutou and Qi Tian went to Heishan Fort." Dong Fengshan replied next to him, "The camp needs to be expanded there. They are going to conduct a field inspection and prepare to select a site to confirm the orientation."

"Black Mountain Fort?" Cao Xiong stopped and looked at Niu Jinming suspiciously.

"A few months ago, we built a small fort near the Black Valley Iron Mine. Qi Tian was there nearby to smelt iron and steel, and some other workshops were also built there....Master Cao, they made a cannon! "

"What did you say? We can cast cannons now!?" Cao Xiong was surprised and delighted when he heard that.
