"Sure enough, the ship is strong and the guns are sharp!" Qin Ge put down the telescope in his hand and smiled.
"Brother, as soon as it gets dark, I will send people to touch the reef. I don't believe their artillery. I have eyes at night and can see our actions clearly!" His brother Qin Wu was gearing up, just like the ship.
It's like it's already in his pocket.
Such a gunboat is not even comparable to those of the Navy. What kind of merchant with so much money could do such a thing? He just saw it. This ship was facing those robbed ships.
When the fishing boat fires, the total number of broadsides on both sides will probably not be less than twenty. This does not include the cannons on the deck. The broadsides alone cost at least 20,000 taels of silver to put it lightly.
Well, besides, this is something that you can’t buy anywhere with money.
In fact, his idea was a bit exaggerated. He wanted to equip his ship with artillery. He took out 20,000 taels of silver. He really asked his father to tell his grandma that he couldn't buy it. The cannon on the ship could be unloaded and used on land.
However, if the cannons used on land are unloaded and loaded on ships, it is not a simple matter. These must be custom-made. Even if his brother is in the army, he cannot find a few of them.
However, for Prince Wang Yue who is based in Nanjing, the largest arsenal in South Zhili is in Nanjing. How difficult is it to find dozens of hundreds of small cannons to load on the ship? And there are many craftsmen at Longjiang Shipyard.
, as for how to properly place these cannons on the ship, it is as easy as eating a plate of side dishes, it is not a big deal.
In addition, something even less important is still to come. In Qin Wu's eyes, a cannon worth at least 20,000 taels of silver is worth a piece of artillery. Although the prince and his father-in-law are not writing in handwriting and not spending a single silver, the cost is
It will definitely not exceed one-tenth of the 20,000 taels of silver. In other words, despite the fact that the ship is covered with cannons, in fact, the cost of the ship and the cannons will not exceed 60,000 taels of silver.
Someone in Fusang had noticed this fleet. Qin Wu was one of the few big pirates on the Ming Dynasty. How could he not have received news about this kind of thing? Qin Ge also had connections in the military.
It was confirmed that this fleet does not belong to any of the Ming Navy. If this is the case, it means that this fleet can make decisions.
Of course, no one would be so unwise as to take all their belongings to seek death. According to the understanding of the Qin brothers, even the pirate king Chen Zuyi, who dared to challenge Eunuch Sanbao's fleet, would only be killed when he encountered such a fleet covered with artillery.
I'm afraid it's just a matter of staying away. They won't fight with you at all. If you fire thousands of cannons from a distance, it will be useless no matter how many people you have on board and how good your skills are. To deal with this kind of fleet, you can either attack it on the shore.
If they take it, they can only take advantage of them being alone and gradually eat away at them one by one.
Next, because of the incident in Futian, Qin Ge had no choice but to turn against the Ming Dynasty and evacuate his troops to Dongfan. He thought that this would last for a while. At least, according to Qin Ge's understanding, the Ming court and the
The Fujian area should not pursue me so vigorously. I have fled overseas. If you are not afraid of losing troops and spending money and food, then you can come!
No one thought that the Jin Yiwei Qianshi who was almost killed by Li De was actually a fool and a fool. No one from the court to the local government wanted to do this job, and no one wanted to take the blame. This guy seemed to be
I was so stimulated that I took the job proactively and voluntarily. I don’t know where he got such great ability and so much money and food, but he actually forced thousands of people to come here.
Okay, let's put it this way, the men, horses and ships under the Qin brothers are the capital for them to live and work, but they want to be the pillars of their own business. They don't have to go head-to-head with this obviously stupid Jin Yiwei just because of this.
, even if he kills all the soldiers and horses brought by the Jin Yiwei, he can't afford to lose it.
Therefore, after it was confirmed that the imperial army had arrived on the island, Qin Ge carefully withdrew his troops to the depths of Dongfan, where there was a native tribe named Taiwoluo, who was not the same person as Qin Wu.
For two years, they could find a temporary shelter there.
At the same time, Qin Wu's ships also left Dongfan and headed for Fuso. There, Anbei Heigoro had helped him get acquainted with some powerful people in Kyushu. The soldiers under his command needed to be supplemented, and those brave soldiers on Kyushu Island needed to be supplemented.
Fuso Samurai is a good source.
This is why they only had four sea-going ships when they went there, but now they have six. The two extra ships are all Fuso people, and they are Fuso people's sea-going ships.
The purpose of their gathering was to obtain this large-scale ship that had been cruising alone for a long time. The Qin brothers even dared to directly challenge the Fujian navy that patrolled Dongfan Island.
"Don't worry, it's still early. Let's wait till midnight!" Qin Ge said with a smile, "They should be the ones who are anxious right now!"
…
"Why haven't you come back yet?" Grisha looked at the sea with her bare feet and a little bored. Luca, who went to Fuzhou to pick up the craftsmen, has still not been seen. This guy seems to be somewhat reliable, but he is so unreliable.
, doesn’t he know that he is still waiting for him to lead him to Haojing Port?
There are so many things that I need to know about the East. This Luca has been living in the East for so many years, and he should have all the experience he should have. This is why I favor him so much. With his
With help, I should be able to enter my role soon. By then, on the eastern sea, except for the ships of the Roman Empire and the ships of the Ming Empire, any ship on the sea will bow its head.
When she thought about such a situation, Grisha felt her blood boil. Although she knew that this situation was unlikely to happen, this did not prevent her from blindfolding herself and thinking about it.
It's a pity. It would be great if the empire had its own colonies in the east. The Portuguese relied on their geographical advantages and used their ships to spread their colonies all over the world. However, the great Roman Empire did not have enough outlets to the sea, but
He had to make up his mind on the land route. Perhaps it would be a good idea to establish a colony in the east and then seize an outlet for the empire in Portugal. However, it would be better to use force and negotiate, which would only cause a headache for his father.
"Too hot to sleep?" Qian Wubing walked over wearing a short jacket and bare feet. The room was humid and stuffy, and there were a lot of mosquitoes. Taking a breath of wind on the beach was also a good pastime at night.
"Luca has been away for a few days, and I'm a little impatient!" Grisha threw a shell in her hand far into the sea.
"Without Butcher Zhang, how can we still eat pigs with hair on them!" Qian Wubing laughed. He knew exactly what Grisha was waiting for Luka to do!
"What?" Grisha was stunned. She was only familiar with the Ming Dynasty dialect. As for these market slangs, common sayings and so on, she was baffled.
"It's nothing, just go and do whatever you want!" Qian Wubing smiled, "Leave four ships, and you can discuss the rest with Commander Wu, Mr. Qian, and Mr. Tang! The rest here is
The fleet has basically done the work, and I still feel heartbroken when I see you here every day, taking my money and doing nothing!"
"I heard that the Ming Navy over there is also very powerful. That Haojing is from another province, right? Will your power be effective there?" Grisha rolled her eyes and asked with some doubts.
.
"Yes, that is the boundary of Guangdong. However, no matter it is Fujian or Guangdong, as long as it is within the boundary of our Ming Dynasty, the passage certificate of this fleet is easy to use. Dare to face my uncle and me at the same time?
There really aren't many people in our Ming Dynasty who are making trouble for your little princess princess, so don't worry, but I've said it before, I know what you have in mind, no matter you
No matter what you think or do, I can pretend that I don’t know anything outside the realm of Ming Dynasty. However, in the realm of Ming Dynasty, you’d better keep me safe, otherwise, your name as a princess can scare people.
There are many people, but they can’t scare me!”
"I know, I know, you've said it so many times!" Grisha rolled her eyes. Her words in the fleet were not as effective as that inexplicable Mr. Tang. Apart from her subordinates on the ship, who else could she command?
Well, even if she wants to do whatever she wants, people have to buy it, right?
"No matter what, if I don't see Luca's boat coming back tomorrow morning, I'll set off on my own!" Grisha squeezed her little fist hard: "By the way, there are a lot of people over there at the trench mirror.
There are good things from Europe, do you want me to bring you some?"
"What good stuff do you have over there again!?" Qian Wubing scorned, and Grisha immediately jumped up. Is anyone talking like that? It's so infuriating.
"Where's the chili pepper? The pepper you're talking about. The thing you praise so much. Could it be that it came from the Ming Dynasty? I didn't bring it from Europe. And..."
"Okay, stop talking, I understand!" Qian Wuying suddenly remembered something: "Stop talking about this thing all the time. If I ask you to get some seeds, you will become coquettish.
I'm so angry, you can only eat this thing fresh, and you won't die if you don't eat it. You said you wanted to bring me something back, and I remembered something, but I don't know if you have it over there right now!"
"Oh, what?" Grisha's eyes widened. This Qian Wubing always looked arrogant and disdainful towards things coming from Europe. It was rare to see him wanting something like this, which made her
She became a little curious!
"Sure enough, the ship is strong and the guns are sharp!" Qin Ge put down the telescope in his hand and smiled.
