At this time, Scarlett changed from her usual gorgeous appearance, and even looked quite embarrassed. She looked at Count Sivens and said: "Your Majesty, you should come up with an idea quickly. The Ming Dynasty's fleet is already heading towards the port.
Here we are, shall we fight or surrender?”
All eyes fell on Count Sivens. These people were usually dominated by Count Sivens. Now that such a big thing happened, everyone naturally regarded Count Sivens as their backbone.
.
But Count Sivens was also a little panicked at the moment. Count Sivens had personally experienced the battle not long ago. He watched helplessly as his ships were bombed and sunk into the sea one by one.
Only 20% to 30% were able to escape back to the port, and many ships were even damaged.
The strength displayed by the people of the Ming Dynasty in this naval battle was completely beyond the imagination of Count Sivens.
According to Count Xivensi's knowledge, the strength of the Ming people at sea may not be bad, but it should be far inferior to their strength in Nanyang.
If this were not the case, he would not have taken action against the Ming royal caravan out of greed in his heart. In the final analysis, Count Xivensi believed that the Ming Dynasty could not cross thousands of miles of ocean to cause trouble for them.
However, what Xivensi did not expect was that not only did the Ming Dynasty send a fleet, but the scale and strength of the fleet exceeded his previous expectations.
You must know that he personally wrote a letter to the Governor of India asking for help in advance just in case, thus soliciting the support of Colonel Soro.
With the support of Colonel Solo and their strength, looking at the entire Southeast Asia, they can be said to be invincible, but in the end they were defeated in one battle.
Looking at the chaos and confusion of the people around him, Count Xivens seemed to be unable to stand the noise of the crowd and couldn't help shouting: "Shut up!"
Count Sivens shouted angrily, causing everyone to calm down subconsciously, and then they heard Count Sivens say to everyone: "Colonel Solo is still fighting against the people of the Ming Dynasty. Before the victory of the war was determined, everyone was discussing surrender.
Isn’t it a little too early?”
However, as soon as Count Xivens finished speaking, he heard a Portuguese businessman in the crowd say: "All of us have escaped. How can the troops under Colonel Solo alone be the opponents of the Ming people? Besides, if Solo
If Colonel Luo continues to resist, it is impossible for the Ming fleet to rush to the port now."
It must be said that the businessman's words directly shattered the last hope and fantasy in Count Sivens' heart.
Under the gazes of one after another, Count Sivens, who looked a little gloomy, gritted his teeth and said: "Even if we lose the battle at sea, we can still fight the Ming people on land. We can still gather thousands of elites under our command.
I don’t believe that the Ming people can still be our opponents after logging in.”
Compared with ordinary merchants who wanted to surrender to save their own lives, Count Xivens and some other people who personally participated in the robbery of the Ming royal caravan were not sure how the Ming people would deal with them if they chose to surrender.
But no matter how you think about it, the people of the Ming Dynasty will definitely not let them have an easy time, or they will lose their lives.
Therefore, others can surrender, but Count Sivens and others are unwilling to risk their lives.
When Count Sivens finished speaking, he heard the one-eyed man shout with a sinister look in his eyes: "Didn't we capture a group of Ming people? Now bring those people from the mine and send someone to tell Ming."
Chinese people, if they dare to force a landing, then don’t blame us for killing all the Ming prisoners."
Earl Sivens, Scarlett and others are the most powerful people among the Portuguese in Malacca. It can be said that the decisions made by these people can represent almost everyone.
Without waiting for some small businessmen to raise objections, Earl Sivens waved his hand and said: "That's it. Let's go down and gather people immediately. If the Ming people dare to force the landing, we will let them never come back."
At the same time, on the sea surface, the Ming Navy fleet gradually gathered in one place and slowly stopped on the sea surface several miles outside the port.
At this time, the Ming Dynasty Navy fleet had experienced a great war. Although it seemed that many of the ships had traces of the aftermath of the great war, there was an aura of chilling that could not be concealed. Compared with before, they had experienced the baptism of the battlefield.
The naval fleet can definitely be said to have completed a transformation.
On the huge treasure ship, Zhang Huai's eyes flashed with excitement and he said to Li Huan: "Sir, except for those who escaped back to the port, most of the Portuguese fleet has been wiped out. According to statistics, in this battle we have at least
We have sunk nearly a hundred large and small ships. Unless these Portuguese have some hidden strength, otherwise, in this battle, we have almost destroyed all the maritime power the other side has in Manga."
As he spoke, Zhang Huai said with a hint of hope: "Please let me know from the general whether we will send someone to land immediately."
Li Huan withdrew his gaze from the distant port, and said with a slight smile on his lips: "It seems that the Portuguese who fled back are still unwilling to surrender. You should send someone to see the choices of the Portuguese above the port."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Huai immediately took the order and quickly sent a speedboat towards the port.
At this moment, Li Huan said to Zhang Huai: "When will Chen Ang's troops arrive?"
Li Huan brought more than 10,000 elite infantrymen with him when he went south this time. These infantrymen rode on hundreds of large troop transports and supply ships, which was not much worse than the size of the Ming Dynasty Navy.
It has to be said that the Ming Dynasty really spent a lot of money in order to send these more than 10,000 elites to Nanyang and completely occupy the entire Nanyang. You must know that for this operation alone, the Ming court's initial investment alone was hundreds of dollars.
As many as ten thousand taels.
That is to say, the Ming Dynasty's finances are unprecedentedly abundant, and the court has abundant money. Otherwise, this expense alone would be enough to bring down the court's finances.
Zhang Huai immediately said after hearing this: "Chen Ang's troops are only a few dozen miles away from us. We have been fighting for most of the day. If nothing unexpected happens, they should be here soon."
Li Huan nodded slightly and said: "Send someone to contact Chen Ang and ask them to speed up. No matter what, we must board Manlajia before dark."
After hearing what Li Huan said, Zhang Huai immediately said in a solemn voice: "The last general will take the order."
In the port of Malacca, looking at the envoy coming off the small boat sent by the Ming Dynasty, Count Xivensi and others did not feel embarrassed and let him go ashore.
However, in the face of the envoy's persuasion to surrender, Earl Sivens and others shouted that anyone who dared to land at the port without their permission would be attacked head-on by them.
As if to show their resolute resistance to the Ming Dynasty, Count Xivensi and others even sent an envoy as their envoy to come to see Li Huan and others along with the envoy sent by Zhang Huai.
On the treasure ship, Li Huan looked at the envoy representing Count Xivensi and others with great interest.
Facing Zhang Huai and others who were full of evil spirits, Harry Bin was filled with nervousness. He was just a staff officer under Count Xivens, but this time he was sent by Count Xivens to meet the general of the Ming Dynasty.
Especially when Count Xivens asked him to bring it to Li Huan and others, Harbin's heart was filled with tension and worry.
As if he could see through the tension in Haribin's heart, Li Huan said calmly: "Tell me, what do you have to say to Count Xivens for asking you to come here?"
Haribin suppressed the panic in his heart, gritted his teeth and said: "My Lord Earl said that Manchuria is the sphere of influence of our Portuguese, and you have entered the waters of Manchuria without permission, and you are not treating us Portuguese well.
Declaring war is a provocation to the great Kingdom of Portugal. The great Kingdom of Portugal will never give up. Your Majesty the Count hopes that you can apologize to the great Kingdom of Portugal and compensate us for our losses..."
When he said these words, Haribin's heart was hanging, fearing that he would be beaten to death by the Ming people in front of him. If Earl Xivens hadn't told him to tell these words to the Ming people, he would never have done it.
Dare you say that.
Li Huan didn't show any anger on his face after listening to Haribin's words, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and there was a bit of smile in his eyes.
Zhang Huai on the side was not as calm as Li Huan. Listening to the messenger's words, Zhang Huai couldn't help but sneer and said: "Okay, okay, I have never seen such an arrogant person. I really can't see the coffin."
Cry, since they are seeking death themselves, then we will help them."
Zhang Huai said with murderous intent in his eyes: "What a bullshit Kingdom of Portugal, it is just a small barbarian country in front of my great country tomorrow."
Although Haribin said he could not fully understand Zhang Huai's words, he was proficient in Chinese. Even Meng Daichai could understand 80% to 90% of the meaning, and his face became increasingly pale.
At this time, Harry Bin looked at the murderous Zhang Huai and couldn't help but said: "If you dare to force the landing, my Lord Earl will definitely kill all the Ming people who were captured before..."
"Be bold!"
He saw a flash of sword flash across, and the next moment Halibin felt a heartbreaking pain in his ears and nose. Halibin subconsciously reached out to touch it, and his hands were immediately filled with blood and severe pain.
"Ah, my nose, ears..."
It turned out that the enraged Zhang Huai slashed off Haribin's ears and nose with a knife in the blink of an eye.
"Go away, tell Xivensi, let them wash their necks and wait for death! If they dare to kill one of my Ming Dynasties, then after my army lands, they will kill you and ten others!"
A fierce kick pushed Haribin, who was almost frightened to death, onto a small boat not far away. Haribin ignored the severe pain in his body and rowed towards the port.
Soon Earl Sivens and others saw Harry Bin, who was covered in blood, in a miserable state, and had both ears and nose cut off.
"The damned Eastern barbarians are so bloody and barbaric. If we let them land, wouldn't we have no choice but to die? Let's fight with them!"
"Fight!"
Some Portuguese people looked at Haribin's embarrassed appearance, coupled with the instigation of Count Sivensi and others, and for a moment, they suddenly became angry with the same enemy.
More than half an hour later, the Portuguese had gathered all the forces they could mobilize at the port. There were over a thousand men and horses, and some temporary defenses were built at an extremely fast speed.
However, the expected attack by the Ming Dynasty fleet did not come. Instead, the densely packed ships were moored at sea without any movement. This strange reaction made Count Xivensi and others suspicious.
However, it didn't take long for Earl Sivens and others to see densely packed ships emerging from the sea in the distance. These ships filled the field of vision. At a glance, there were at least hundreds of large ships in the dark area.
Although some warships could be seen guarding the surroundings, 90% of them were large transport ships. When they saw the Ming Dynasty dragon flag flying on these ships, Count Xivensi and others were dumbfounded.
The size of the Ming Dynasty fleet that had defeated them had shocked them, but now, another huge Ming fleet appeared.
"This... how is this possible? Are the people of the Ming Dynasty crazy? Why are there so many ships in Manchuria? Is it because a caravan was robbed?"
Count Sivens murmured to himself with a look of disbelief on his face.
As the fleet gradually converged with the Ming Navy, they saw a figure on a large ship, leaping over a distance of more than ten feet and landing on the treasure ship where Li Huan was.
Chen Ang, who was wearing armor, bowed to Li Huan and said, "The general will pay homage to the general."
Li Huan nodded slightly, looked at Chen Ang and said with a smile: "Chen Ang, I'll have to trouble you to capture Manlajia later."
As soon as Li Huan finished speaking, Zhang Huai on the side couldn't help but said: "Chen Ang, we must not let these Portuguese go after we land. Even if we dig three feet into the ground, we must find all the Portuguese. These barbarians
People like me dare to threaten my Ming Dynasty, they are really brave."
Chen Ang couldn't help but look a little surprised when Zhang Huai reacted so fiercely. He rarely saw Zhang Huai so excited. He really didn't know what the Portuguese had done to make Zhang Huai react like this.
Chen Ang subconsciously looked at a naval general next to Zhang Huai, and heard the naval general cough lightly and said: "The mighty prince is unaware of something. Just now, those barbarians actually sent an envoy to threaten us.
If they dare to land and seize the port, they will kill all the people from the Ming Royal Caravan who were captured earlier..."
An awe-inspiring murderous intent instantly spread around Chen Ang, and Chen Ang was heard saying in a cold voice: "It's so arrogant!"
At this moment, Chen Ang finally understood why Zhang Huai reacted like that. Let alone Zhang Huai, even if it were him, he couldn't help but get angry after hearing what the navy general said just now, and murderous intent suddenly arose in his heart.
[Please ask for a guaranteed monthly ticket at the beginning of the month, okay?]
