    The sky is clear and the blue waves are rippling!

    Just as Beijing has entered late autumn, the sea in the South China Sea is still so hot that it makes people panic. A huge fleet is arranging in a neat formation and galloping towards Manila Port!

    This fleet has fifteen Galen ships with a thousand materials and two hundred Fu ships with more than 500 materials. This is the fleet of Li Dan and Yan Siqi. Now this fleet has a name, called "Nanjing Shengtai Trading Company"  "!

    While Li Dan and Yan Siqi were waiting to receive the ships and artillery in Nanjing, Wei Guogong Xu Hongji contacted several other nobles in Nanjing. Once they all figured out that they were capable of doing this, they pooled together five million taels of silver to join Li Dan and Yan Siqi.  They jointly formed this merchant fleet.

    With the support of Nanjing nobles, Li Dan and Yan Siqi were more confident. After purchasing fifteen Galen ships and enough artillery and muskets, they also purchased a large amount of goods.  After completing crew drills, we headed all the way to Manila!

    On the deck of the flagship "Big Flying Fish", Li Dan smiled and said to Yan Siqi: "Brother Yan, if we take Manila this time, do you plan to be stationed in Manila or return to Kyushu?"

    If Li Dan had asked this question in the past, Yan Siqi would have thought that Li Dan had the intention to burn bridges across the river, but it is different now. Everyone is making a living under the banner of "Shengtai Trading Company", with a bunch of noble lords staring at them.  Look, my brother is just running errands to earn some hard-earned money, there is really no need to think so much.

    So Yan Siqi just pondered for a moment and then said: "I plan to station in Kyushu. First of all, our foundation in Kyushu cannot be lost like this. Secondly, I also like the land of Da Liuqiu. If I can occupy Da Liuqiu,  It will be of great benefit to our Shengtai¡¯s future business!¡±

    Li Dan nodded and said: "Brother Yan is very thoughtful. Since you want to go back to Kyushu, I will be in Manila from now on. I was the one who asked those red-haired fans to be driven out of Manila. This tone of my brother is  I¡¯ve been holding it in for a long time!¡±

    At that time, Li Dan was doing business in Manila and his business was prosperous. Otherwise, he would not have received the title "Kapitan", which represents the Chinese leader. It was precisely because Li Dan became stronger that the Spaniards in Manila felt that he was a leader.  Threatening him, he was driven to the Japanese country with powerful force!

    This time Li Dan returned to Manila with such a powerful fleet, and he was holding back his desire for revenge!

    "Master of the Sea, we have spotted three red-haired ships ahead, all heading for Manila!" At this time, the lookout at the top of the mast suddenly shouted!

    Li Dan and Yan Siqi immediately raised their telescopes, and soon they saw three Galenic ships on the sea, forming a glyph and moving forward. From the flags on the ships, Li Dan recognized them at a glance as three Spanish ships!

    When he saw the Spanish flag, Li Dan was extremely jealous when he saw an enemy. He put down his telescope and shouted: "Tell Zheng Zhilong to take people to take down those three ships for me!"

    Immediately the lookout signaled, and a Galen ship on the left side of the fleet responded, leading the two Galen ships to raise their full sails at the same time and rush out of the fleet.

    As Li Dan¡¯s right-hand man, Zheng Zhilong also had a good relationship with Yan Siqi, so he was assigned three of the fifteen Galen ships, making him the third in the "Shengtai" list!

    Zheng Zhilong, who rushed out of the fleet, was also very high-spirited at this time. If he had encountered this kind of Western sailing ship before, he would have walked around it even if he had ten lucky ships. After all, compared with this kind of Galen ship, the speed of the lucky ships was very low.  , height, firepower, and tonnage do not have any advantages. If you encounter a Western large sailing ship, it would be good if you don't get shot twice. How can you dare to move forward?

    But today is different from the past. Zheng Zhilong's ship "Haisuo", as well as his "Conch" and "Haima", are all galenic ships made of thousands of materials, and they are warships fully loaded with weapons and ammunition.  Rather than the armed merchant ships usually used by Westerners, today Zheng Zhilong dared to directly go up and fuck him. This feeling was really refreshing!

    "Bring me some fucking energy. This is our first battle in Shengtai. If we can't win, we men won't have the shame to see the Lord of the Sea and Boss Yan!" Zheng Zhilong shouted, rolling up his arms and sleeves.  All the brothers are also busy!

    Business at sea is definitely difficult, but it can be said to be simple. For Zheng Zhilong's gang of men, as long as the ship is fast enough and the cannons are powerful enough, even the Dragon Prince will dare to lower a few beards, let alone that.  Help the red-haired fan who has been showing off his power in front of them!

    Just when Zheng Zhilong¡¯s ship was catching up, the three Spanish ships in front also discovered them. On board the "Princess Anna" headed by a man in his forties??The bearded captain Pierre, in his early years, ran the Caribbean route. Later, because of his age, he came to the relatively safer Far East route!

    In fact, in the Far East waters, Western sailing ships have an irresistible advantage. Not to mention that the indigenous people in this place do not have sea ships. Even the Ming Dynasty, known as the kingdom of heaven, has no sea ships that can compete with Western sailing ships. Even some Ming pirates  Relying on its numerical advantage, it occupies some key areas, but it poses no threat to the cargo ships on the Upper West Coast route!

    So Captain Pierre brought the old "Princess Anna" and the "Bearded Pete" and "Siren", which were also more than ten years old, back and forth between the Ming Dynasty, Japan, and Manila. Pierre  I have already decided to work for another two years, sell the boat, take the gold coins back to Spain to buy a piece of land and become a landlord!

    But Captain Pierre's landowner dream seemed to be awakened. He saw through the telescope that there were hundreds of ships behind him, and three of them were already catching up with them with malicious intent. What shocked Pierre most was that the boats that caught up were  The three ships are actually brand new Galen ships!

    "Damn it, which country's ship is at this time? Why is it so new? It doesn't look like it came from Europe or America!" Pierre said with complaint.

    The old captain was very experienced, and he could tell at a glance that the three ships he was catching up with were definitely no more than a year old. However, except for Manila, which has a repair dock in the Far East, Captain Pierlu had not heard of any place where it was possible to build a building.  Lun ship!

    "Who knows?" Roger, the short mate, shrugged and said, "Anyway, I have never seen these ships. They are neither British nor Dutch. Maybe these are the ships of the indigenous people on an island.  Woolen cloth!"

    Roger's joke caused everyone to laugh, but Pierlu couldn't laugh. He took a sip of rum and said: "If those local monkeys can have such a ship, they can also become superior people, but  I don¡¯t care who owns these ships, let¡¯s get ready first, and if they dare to use their brains, I¡¯ll give them a good beating!¡±

    Dang¡ª¡ª

    Dang¡ª¡ª

    Dang¡ª¡ª

    Although Roger liked to joke, he was unambiguous on business matters. After hearing the captain's order, he immediately sounded the alarm and shouted at the same time: "All crew members are in position, prepare to fight!"

    Suddenly, three cargo ships loaded with raw silk, tea, porcelain, and dozens of exquisite glassware turned into war machines. The crew quickly ran to their positions, ready to listen to the captain's orders. The gunner opened the ship.  From the gun port on the side, black holes were pushed out one by one!

    However, an insider can tell at a glance that the artillery of these three Galen ships is not fully loaded, but half loaded. Take the "Princess Anna" as an example, it is clearly 1,500 guns (load capacity: 200 tons)  This large ship can carry at least forty artillery pieces, but there are only ten artillery pieces on one side of the ship!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
