Chapter 1518? (Ψ｀▽′)o Our Ship Is Very Big and Has Many Cannons!

The Li family's fleet of five battleships first set off from the Qiantang River in Hangzhou, and then headed south along the coast of Daming after leaving the bay. It first went to Quanzhou for replenishment, and then went to Macau, which was leased by the Portuguese, for replenishment and repairs for a day.

Immediately afterwards, after Anne and her Li family's fleet frightened the Portuguese, five terrifying steel-framed wooden warships that looked like towering mountains set sail southward under the flags of Daming and the Li family, heading to the south. Headed towards Southeast Asia and went to the Western Ocean.

The Portuguese probably couldn't figure out why the capital of the Ming Empire could organize and produce such an exaggerated and frightening super fleet when it was clearly breached by a group of refugees and was about to perish. The fleet is not going to stay in Ming Dynasty to maintain the rule, but is going straight south, heading towards the southeast Asian waters aggressively?

They didn't know what those Daming people wanted to do, so all they could do was to write several secret letters at the first time, and let a faster ship send the information to important places such as Jakarta and Malacca in Southeast Asia. The port sent the letter to the past, allowing the governors of those ports in Southeast Asia to prepare early.

Under normal circumstances, even if they send small fast merchant ships to deliver letters, it is absolutely impossible for them to be faster than the five clipper battleships under Anne's command, but...

However, the captain and chief admiral of a certain auspicious little girl is not very good at navigating, so under the circumstances of her irresponsible and random guidance, the fleet quickly lost its direction, and then Jiadin, who could have arrived in a few days, Hong Kong insisted on walking for many days without finding any shadow.

In fact, the fleet didn't even notice the shadow of the land or islands. Looking around, it was just an endless sea.

"Hello!"

"Mate! Where are we now?"

First, she used the binoculars to look around, but Song Yifeng, who found it was useless, had to ask the first mate repeatedly.

Because the fierce bearded captain has left the ship and served as the admiral stationed in the East China Sea, so now on their battleship 'Xiangfeihu', only this first officer is acting as the acting captain, and Annie is usually It doesn't matter, she knows that Annie is just a captain and habitually making trouble for everyone.

"Report to the Second Admiral!"

"I don't know yet..."

"The navigators are recalculating the orientation. After the storm yesterday, we tried our best to avoid the storm, but we still don't know the exact orientation."

The second admiral asked,

Of course the first officer didn't dare to be negligent, and directly told what he knew.

At this time, in the small battle command and chart room behind the podium, several navigators are using various instruments, such as those sextants, bipods, protractors, parallel rulers, etc. The upper finger pointed, wanting to determine the specific position of the fleet as soon as possible.

"That is to say, we lost our way?"

"It's really bad..."

Song Yifeng sighed.

If it weren't for some bad little girl, the admiral insisted on chasing a group of dolphins with the fleet, they wouldn't yaw, and if they didn't yaw, they wouldn't encounter a storm, and if they didn't encounter a storm, they wouldn't be in the current situation, so , everything is their great admiral's fault!

Thinking about it, Song Yifeng cast a big white eye at the back of a certain naughty little girl who still had the face to play with fish.

"It's not done yet?"

(; '⌒`)

"You guys are so stupid!"

o(*｀ー′)o

"What kind of sextant is that, bring it to others!"

?(????)?

At this time, Annie, who was sitting on the edge of the boat dangling her feet, of course also heard the conversation between Song Yifeng and the first mate, so, without thinking about it, she just threw the not-so-tasty snacks in her hand. While feeding the dolphins in the sea, he jumped back into the boat as soon as he turned over, and then ran to the chart room, took a sextant out and started measuring against the sun.

"ah?"

"Annie, do you also use this thing?"

The sextant is an optical instrument used to measure the angle between two distant targets. It is usually used to measure the angle between the sun or other celestial bodies and the sea level or horizon at a certain moment, so as to quickly know the latitude and longitude of the position of the ship. , but Song Yifeng must not know how to use and calculate that instrument. As for whether Annie knows it, she is not sure.

Anyway, those navigators have calculated for a long time, and they only got a rough position, and the specific position is still being calculated.

"..."

(ー`′ー)

Annie didn't answer, just pretending to operate.

(…)

(●￣(?)￣●)

"alright!"

(‘???`)

"We're probably here now"

(? ￣? ￣?) Hey!

At first, it was a fierce operation, and finally found that the error of the broken instrument in her hand was too big. Annie simply stopped measuring, but directly used her unimaginable perception, and instantly accurately After locating the specific location of the fleet, she reached out and drew a circle on a certain position on the chart on the command platform.

"However, this chart of yours seems to be a bit inaccurate, so our exact position should be...here, a little bit to this side?"

☆?(o*?w?)?

"That is to say, we need to walk southwest at full speed for two days, and we should be able to almost reach this city!"

??(′?｀?)???

Those dolphins were very funny just now, especially the cute and playful look when they threw a few steamed buns first, and then threw spicy sticks to trick them into fighting for food.

Annie doesn't regret walking here with them, but the only thing that makes her a little regretful is that their meat quality is said to be not very good, so she doesn't have the desire to grab one and roast it for a while?

"Is it really?"

Song Yifeng glanced at the first officer a little uncertainly.

"Roughly the same?"

"The range measured by the navigators is also in this area, but it's not as accurate..."

Looking at the small circle drawn by the admiral on the chart, and thinking about the approximate position calculated by the navigators just now, the first officer finally nodded, feeling relieved at last.

After all, getting lost at sea is a very dangerous thing, especially for a large fleet like theirs that doesn't have too many supplies, but now that it's all right, now that the specific location is known, it will be much easier to handle.

Ding~! Ding~! Ding~!

"Turn southwest!"

"Full speed ahead!"

"Turn southwest..."

"Turn to the southwest!!"

With the ringing of the bell on the flagship, soon, the fleet that had to put down the sails and slow down due to being lost, began to raise the sails and turn around under the operation of the sailors, and then the five giant ships began to accelerate slowly. Speeding towards the predetermined southwest direction, it also attracted the large group of dolphins to jump out of the water and keep jumping and following the two sides of the fleet.

...

Two days later, Ajidin appeared in the sight of the Li family's fleet.

Then as a matter of course, the appearance of five super giant ships that had never been seen before made the sailors and port officials in Ajidin jump for a while, and finally found out that the fleet belonged to Daming Li's family, and it seemed that they were not here to cause trouble. Only then did they hesitate, and dispatched small sampans to carefully guide the five large ships to a deep-water berth in the port where they moored far away.

Although they entered the port, the large ship still had no way to dock directly on the pier bridge, so Little Annie and Song Yifeng had to take a group of dog-legged thugs and landed on the pier in a small boat, preparing to repair, replenish and ship the fleet. Have fun here in this small port.

"It looks so small..."

"Annie, it seems that this place is far worse than Hangzhou and Quanzhou!"

"It seems that the chief mate is right. There must be no way to give our goods a good price here. They probably won't be able to accept so many goods."

This Ajiding is not very good, anyway, Song Yifeng thinks that the conditions here are quite bad, and thinks that the first officer's decision to unload only one-tenth of the cargo is an extremely correct decision.

"No matter! People just want to know, do they have any delicious food here?"

(*^▽^*)

"Let's go! Let's go to the city for a walk..."

o(′▽｀)o =3 =3 =3

Although it's called a city, it's actually just a small town, but that doesn't prevent Annie from finding that kind of delicious food. As for other miscellaneous matters, it's better to leave it to the first officer.

However, before Annie pulled Song Yifeng to leave the pier for a stroll, soon, an officer on the ship led someone to the door and stopped her.

"Great Admiral!"

"There is a second admiral!"

"The situation seems to be a bit unfavorable for us..."

After looking around and asking his soldiers to separate some irrelevant people, the officer came over and reported in a low voice.

"What's wrong?"

Σ(°△ °|||)︴

"What's the matter, isn't this very good, what's wrong?"

(???.???)????

"what happened again?"

"Tell me!"

Song Yifeng at the side was also a little curious.

Because they have already found the scheduled port, and they have all docked in the port. All of this is very good. Why did the other party suddenly come to tell them that the situation is not good?

"We just went to negotiate."

"The local trading houses are monopolized by the Preyla Chamber of Commerce. Although they reluctantly accepted the in-demand goods we unloaded and allowed us to dock and replenish here, they were unwilling to provide us with goods, even if only There is no share of a small part!"

"They are not very friendly to us..."

Speaking of this, the officer's face looked even more ugly, as if he was enduring his anger, but he didn't dare to behave too much in front of the two admirals.

"ah?"

(*ˉ?ˉ*;)

"Has it been monopolized?"

(°-°〃)

"Yes!"

"It's the Kuhn Chamber of Commerce and the Preyla Chamber of Commerce, that is, the Dutch and the Portuguese. They are competing here in Nanyang. Most of the ports here are monopolized by those two chambers of commerce. It is difficult for outsiders to intervene. Not even the locals have a good idea."

"And it is said that our Li family fleet, Admiral Li Huamei, were all driven away by those two chambers of commerce. They were forced to set sail as early as half a month before we arrived here. to the Indian Ocean."

The officer once again revealed something that made his teeth itch.

They finally sailed all the way from Hangzhou to here, but in the end, they found that 'Nanyang' was monopolized by the Portuguese and Dutch from Europa, and they didn't give them any market share. Even Li Huamei, the head of the Li family, had to give up here and go to the Indian Ocean?

"ah?"

"Sister Li Huamei was chased away by them too?!"

"But, are the Kuhn Chamber of Commerce and the Preyla Chamber of Commerce really that powerful?"

Song Yifeng was taken aback!

She originally thought that when she came here, she would definitely meet Li Huamei and the others, and show off the powerful ships she and Annie brought, but in the end, she got news that the head of the Li family was arrested here in Nanyang. The people were driven away, and those people, they are not allowed to continue to do business here in the Li Family Chamber of Commerce, even if they barely come to Hong Kong, they will only deliver goods and not purchase goods?

"this……"

"The subordinates don't know for the time being."

Shaking his head, the officer looked bewildered, because he just came here, and he had just inquired about the two chambers of commerce and the Li family's fleet. He wanted to know more specific things, such as the above The specific situation of the two chambers of commerce really made it difficult for him.

"hateful!!"

(??へ???╬)

"Go! Let this Ajidin give us most of the market share, so that they can only do business with our Li Family Chamber of Commerce in the future!"

q(`⌒'q)

At this time, Anne suddenly gave the officer an order.

"ah?"

"But, Anne, will they agree?"

Song Yifeng was taken aback, she didn't need to think about that kind of thing, she knew it was impossible.

"you are stupid!"

?(ψ｀╭╮′)o

"Of course they won't agree, but don't we have battleships and cannons? Are those big ships just for display?"

(ˉ▽￣～)cut~~

"!!"

"Follow orders!"

Knowing that his admiral was going to copy the model in Japan, the officer was shocked suddenly, then grinned, and quickly led the sailors back towards the pier, obviously to pass orders and do something It's set up.

"Let's go! Let's go back first!"

ε=(′ο｀*)))

After looking at the small town, and at the five warships in the pier that were several times taller and several times larger than other sea ships, Annie had no choice but to greet Song Yifeng, and was about to go back to the ship first. .

Now that it is decided to go to war, there is no way, she, the chief admiral, and Song Yifeng, the second admiral, are definitely not suitable to stay in the port to be bombed.

half a day later...

The Li family's fleet had just fired a round of volleys, and Giadin Port surrendered shamelessly.

Immediately afterwards, in the next two days, the people of the Preyla Chamber of Commerce were expelled, and then, with the support of the Li family fleet, the locals regained control of the situation, allowing the Malay Governor of Portugal, Preyla The power of Giadin was emptied in an instant.

At the same time, the Li Family Chamber of Commerce also seized a large number of large and small merchant ships and supplies from "hostile" forces. At the same time, the caravan between Nanyang and Daming was finally established.
