Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    At noon that day, the expedition fleet entered Yongxia Bay.

    Corregidor Island guarding the mouth of the bay has been renamed Chenmei Island to commemorate the overseas Chinese leader in Jiannei who sacrificed his life to protect the overseas Chinese.

    The facilities on the island are also much more complete than when the Spanish were there, including lighthouses, bastions, forts, and military docks.  A rapid response brigade consisting of twenty destroyers, escorts and speedboats is also stationed, responsible for daily patrols, anti-smuggling, and protection of strategic fleet bases throughout Yongxia Bay.

    The strategic fleet base is also located in Yongxia Bay, which is the promontory base where the Spanish and Philippine fleets were originally stationed.  It was an excellent natural military port, and the Spanish made great efforts to transform it, laying a good foundation for the subsequent construction of the war zone.

    Zhao Hao has not relaxed the construction of the coast guard for a moment. In the past two years, the strategic fleet has added two more battleships and four cruisers, and it can already form a battle line consisting of twelve battleships.

    When the ocean-going fleet sailed into Yongxia Bay, it coincided with the formation training of the strategic fleet.  Wang Rulong commanded twelve huge warships, forming a single column beside the waterway.

    All warships were hoisted with flags, all officers and soldiers stood on the slope to greet them, and warship bugles were blasting to welcome the heroes returning in triumph.

    Soon, the quick response brigade patrolling the bay also came to line up to welcome the triumphant hero who sailed around the world!

    There are also transportation fleets from the South China Sea, fishing boats fishing in the bay, and single-masted ships transporting offshore, all of which have given way to the main channel and are greeted by lanes several miles away on the left and right sides.  The crew, fishermen, and boatmen all rushed to the deck, waving and cheering towards the voyage fleet, and were delighted to witness the return of the legend.

    In the afternoon, the voyage fleet slowly sailed into Yongxia Port, surrounded by hundreds of large and small ships.

    Yongxia Port has built a concrete pier with ten times the original capacity, and also built two protective dikes that go deep into the bay and are ten miles long.

    The embankments, one on the left and one on the right, protect the entire port like powerful arms.  There are also lighthouses, forts and two arm-thick iron chains on the embankment.

    During the day, the iron chain is sunk on the seabed and does not affect the entry and exit of ships.

    At night or when an alarm is heard at the mouth of the bay, the soldiers guarding the embankment will turn the winch and pull up the two thick iron chains to block the 50-meter-wide entrance and exit of the harbor, creating an 'iron rope barrier'!

    And there are two iron chain winches, one is located in the bunker on the left berm, and the other is located in the bunker on the right berm.  Even if the enemy evades all layers of warning, they still have to seize the bunkers on both sides of the embankment at the same time before they can put down the iron chains blocking the road and enter the harbor.

    This design minimizes the enemy¡¯s success rate of surprise attacks.  It can buy enough reaction time for the garrison of the Coast Guard Headquarters and the soldiers living in the port area.

    Lin Feng looked all the way from the Dongmen Strait and saw that the coast guard and soldiers were fortified at all levels, and the seaports and docks were also under militarized management. They were clearly in a state of war.

    She couldn¡¯t help but secretly gasp in surprise. The war zone was really different from the garrison zone. She looked like she was always vigilant and ready for war.

    ¡®It seems that the Spaniards still put a lot of pressure on Master.  ¡¯ Thinking of this, Lin Feng touched her slightly swollen lips and understood something.

    No wonder he only kissed his forehead when he brought eighteen million taels back to his master.  But knowing that he destroyed Acapulco and delayed the Spanish attack for several years, but in exchange for him Oops, I'm so embarrassed.

    "What's wrong, Commander? Why is your face as red as a monkey's butt?" Ma Jishan saw her covering her face and giggling, and couldn't help asking worriedly: "It doesn't look normal."

    "It's cool." The little black girl rolled her eyes, feeling embarrassed for her.

    ??~~

    More than 200,000 people in Yongxia City also supported the old and young, and flocked to the dock to watch the excitement.  Who doesn¡¯t want to see the fleet returning from a voyage around the world and see what rare things they bring back?

    They were so addicted that there were hundreds of animals taken off the boat.  Sloths, armadillos, lion-faced tamarins; capybaras, anacondas, grass mud horses; tiger cats, iguanas, spider apes I have never seen or heard of them all.  They look so weird and eye-opening to people.

    Among them, the animal with the highest treatment is actually a big turtle, which is bigger than a large adult.  It took six young men to lift down the mahogany cage. The cage was also covered in red and colorful decorations, giving it the treatment of a high-ranking official.

    ??Have ordinary people ever seen such a big turtle?  Everyone thought they had seen the mythical beast Xuanwu, so they bowed their heads and begged the old bastard for his blessing.

    Zhao Hao was very satisfied with the effect of the appearance of the elephant turtle. This was an auspicious sign that he planned to dedicate to the little emperor.

    In fact, it was dedicated to his father-in-law

    ?The fresh ones on the bed.  Although it can't compare with the previous ones, it is better than the novelty.

    ¡°This man, if you don¡¯t see him one by one and enjoy them all, it¡¯s really a waste of your time in this world.

    Now everyone is on fire, wishing they could go across the ocean and sail around the world to become rich and glamorous!

    ??~~

    People are so obsessed with these incredible, wild and unrestrained sailing legends that they line up to entertain the members of the fleet and listen to the crew telling their stories over and over again.

    Even though it is a repetitive story, every time it is read it makes people tremble and enjoy it.  It's like they have experienced an exciting global adventure, and I feel like I won't get bored listening to it a hundred times.

    "It's a pity that in ten days, the voyage fleet, which has finished unloading and replenishing supplies, will leave Yongxia Port.

    Although arriving in Luzon means entering the country, they are still thousands of miles away from their starting point - Pudong, Shanghai.

    Only by returning to the starting point three years ago can this global journey come to a complete end.

    PS. The transitional chapter is very difficult to write because there is no plot, so the speed is very slow. I only finished one chapter. Please forgive me.  Now go write the next chapter.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
