On May 25th of the Gregorian calendar, Sir Simon Fox led the British fleet back and stationed in Kaohsiung.

   Yan Changwu left the fleet and took a Kaohsiung ship back to meet him. Seeing that his face was beaming, he was uneasy to ask.

   Some of his staff are talented people. He invited the British naval officers to drink and got them drunk. He soon learned that the British had made a lot of money and continued to make money.

The details are as follows: There is an Englishman who got a load of raw silk (65 taels of silver) at a cost price, sold it to the country of Japan, and got 550 taels of silver, and then bought gold from Guangzhou at a ratio of 1:4, that is, 100 taels of gold. Four hundred taels of silver, he transported one hundred taels of gold back to England, which would probably be worth 1,200 taels of silver!

   Sell raw silk to the country of Japan, get silver from the country, buy gold from China, and ship it back to the U.K. You can make high profits!

   "It's a really good business, I am at a great seafaring age!" Yan Changwu was amazed. He knew that ocean trade would make a lot of money, but he didn't expect it to be so big.

   In the future, I will try my best to export silver. As long as there is silver, plus the wisdom and diligence of the people of our great celestial dynasty, as well as the vast areas of Southeast Asia, then I:

One day, during the Four Nations War of Europa, the four great powers of Britain, the Netherlands, France, and Spain would not put their main forces on Asia. At that time, the Ming Dynasty could drive out the Dutch because the Dutch did not even have professional gunboats, and most of them were armed merchant ships. The gunboat was changed into a gunboat, and when it came to the Braid Dynasty, the British had completed the global layout and had enough troops, so the Braids cried.

  It is geographically advantageous. Taiwan is close to Southeast Asia, and how far is Britain, the Netherlands, France, and Spain to come to Southeast Asia.

   There are people who make peace. As long as I lead wisely, both hands must be hard. Give them white rice here, and govern with an iron fist over there. I believe that the people will gather together under my command and work for me!

   has a lot to do!

The British fleet took Yan Changwu's full payment and prepared to leave. Before leaving, Sir Simon Fox and Yan Changwu said goodbye. The level of the Jazz is higher than that of the Dutchman Storm, and the level is also high, because the two sides have no conflict of interest, and In appreciation of Yan Changwu’s enthusiasm, he pointed out: “The future naval battles will mainly use artillery. The quality of the artillery, the long range, the fast rate of fire, etc., all determine the victory or defeat. The tide, wind direction, light, and formation must also be considered in the battle. And firepower allocation, as well as tactics and enemy situation!"

   Yan Changwu wrote it down and asked the staff to do their best to prepare before each battle.

Sir    joked: "Maybe in thirty years, your fleet will appear in the Atlantic Ocean. By then, I don’t know if I’m lucky enough to see it!"

   "You will definitely see it! My jazz!" Yan Changwu seemed to say to him jokingly.

   "I wish you a good journey and a safe journey!" Yan Changwu waved goodbye to him.

   "My friend, I wish you all the best!" Sir Simon Fox stood on the ship and waved to Yan Changwu.

Looking at the shadow of the British fleet leaving, Yan Changwu thought far-reaching: "It is a long way to go if I want to make my fleet appear in the Atlantic 30 years later. But thinking about the 40 years of reform and opening up, I have become the second largest in the world. As a citizen of the Great Heaven Dynasty, I should work hard!"

  ……

   The wind was surging. At the beginning of June in the Gregorian calendar, the Fujian Navy in the Ming Dynasty made a major mobilization, and ships of all sizes continued to go to Tongshan Island (Dongshan).

   Dongshan Island, also known as Ling Island, also known as Butterfly Island, is composed of 43 small islands, belonging to Zhangzhou, Fujian, suitable for anchoring in the harbor.

   On the 18th, all the troops gathered together, and the governor Zhu Yifeng came personally to make a strong march for the army!

Commander Yu Zigao led deputy commander Chen Xifan, under his courageous commanders Hong Xianchun, Qianhu Ma Sheng, Baihu Yang Shijue, general Chen Wenlian, Hong Yingdou, Zhang Xuan, etc., and the sea bandit Yang Ce, who returned to Qianlu Island. The defender of the fortress will serve in front of the Zhigao army to redeem the merits.

A high platform was built by the sea, and Zhu Yifeng, accompanied by Yu Zigao, went up high and condescending, but he could see the flags deployed under the stage, the heroes were like forests, the warships gathered on the sea, densely packed, and the sea was full of murderous air. He laughed and said, "Yes. This hero, why worry about the injustice in the Southeast Mansion!"

   Yu Zigao immediately raised his hand and shouted: "Da Ming is mighty, the navy master Wan Sheng!"

   He also came to call "Wansheng" from the Southeastern Government without paying patent fees, and his subordinates responded with one heart: "Our army is victorious! Wansheng! Wansheng!"

   waved a knife and spear, the world changed color, so that the governor and the generals were also full of confidence in victory.

   Yes, the Ming army used 250 warships and its force reached 26,300. It was almost the largest assembly of forces in the southeast of the Ming Empire after Zheng He's voyages to the West!

   defeat the foreigners, occupy Taiwan, and include Taiwan in the territory!

   Open up the frontier and expand the land, let me give it to me!

   At this moment, Governor Zhu's heart is full of ambitions. Even Yu Zongbing, who was a little nervous at first, felt that he could win with such a large number of troops. It was unreasonable.

   There is an altar on the high platform, where three animals, one man and one military, two high-ranking officials, worship the Sea Dragon King, and ask the Sea Dragon King to bless the army and the battle will go smoothly.

   Originally, Mazu was also the sea god, but the Southeast Mansion invited her to be the protector of the country, so Governor Zhu and General Yu of Fujian had to sacrifice to the Sea Dragon King.

  上高香, please God!

   The blue smoke was lingering, and it was amazing~www.readwn.com~ It was still sunny, and in a blink of an eye the sky was gloomy, and dark clouds rushed to the bay where the ship stopped to worship the gods like a thousand horses.

   The wind is so strong that it blows the flags forcing them to crack.

  Everyone is refreshed, knowing that the Sea Dragon King has appeared!

   Zhu Yi and Feng Xinran recite the sacrificial text, which is four and six. Although everyone is puzzled, they still find it very pleasing to the ears. It sounds good. It should be that Sea Dragon King was also happy to hear it.

   Just as Zhu Yifeng's mind was falling into the sky, the wind rose, but he saw the handsome flag hung on the Chinese military ship of Mr. Yu was blown off by the wind and fell into the sea!

   Zhu Yifeng suddenly paused, and all the faces of people he saw lost their color.

  Especially Yu Zigao, his initial courage was suddenly abandoned, his eyes were round, his hands trembled unexpectedly.

   As the saying goes, it is an army knife head licking blood. The most telling sign is that the Sea Dragon King took a breath and blown off the handsome flag. How can it be done?

  The so-called ignorant are fearless. The more they know, the more they are afraid.

   Actually, it cannot be said that Yu Zigao is a completely incompetent person. He is worried that the situation of the enemy and the enemy is unclear and the war is unpredictable.

   Seeing him like a bear, Zhu Yifeng is really a serious BS, and he is deeply suspicious, and put this important task in his hands, but the arrow is on the line, how can you not send it!

   I can’t say much, so I can only encourage him to say: "Zong Bing Yu, my Fujian Navy inherits the destiny of the fate and follows the wishes of the people of Li people. There are thousands of brave soldiers, and our army will win this battle!"

  Yu Zigao also knows how great it is. At this moment, if he dares to say nothing, Zhu Yifeng will not dare to take his head to sacrifice the flag!

   He reluctantly said: "What the governor said is quite true!"

   Zhu Yifeng saw him look frustrated, so he said to him: "This patrol wants to imitate the governor of Nan (Nan Juyi, the governor of Fujian who fought the Dutch in Penghu), and personally supervise the battle!"
