Chapter 1519?? (??  ̄? ̄ )???? Just Snatch It, What's the Matter?
Unexpectedly, before many people could react, the Li Family Chamber of Commerce brazenly traded with the Portugal's ruthless Malay governor, Doyle Atai Lo, who controlled the spices of Indochina and was preparing to invade the Indian Ocean region. Pace de Preyla and the Chamber of Commerce under his command have fought without a declaration.
It is said that the other party has declared war, but even took away the ownership of Giading Port by force, occupying the bridgehead leading to the Daming sea area?
Specifically, outsiders don't know much about Giadin's news here.
Anyway, under the suggestion of the chief mate, Little Annie agreed with the other party to use the captured merchant ships to form the Li family's Nanyang caravan and deploy 500 sailors in Giadin, build gun towers and turrets, and recruit local servants to consolidate Giadin Proposals related to 'domination'.
In short, after a few days, the port of Giadin was finally stabilized, and then the banner of the Li Family Chamber of Commerce was hoisted high and announced to the public that it would be governed by the Li Family. As for the formalities, such as the local Anne would definitely not care what the natives in the government thought, and she just went to fight.
Besides, she is the Li Family Fleet who came from the Kingdom of Heaven, Daming. She took down this dilapidated port and sent people to defend the natives with muskets and cannons. .
And ah, it doesn't count if you beat Jadin, Annie is planning to fight Brunei with those men now. It is said that the city is around 3 north latitude 3 east longitude 111?
However, after the adjustment of the Li family fleet was completed, and Yang Fan was preparing to go south to continue to find troubles with the Preyla Chamber of Commerce, it was unexpected that Giadin was the first to usher in a huge three-layer cannon A first-class battleship with a deck and more than a hundred guns.
But what makes the admiral of a bad little girl feel a little regretful is that the other party doesn't seem to come to trouble her, but to ask for a meeting?
So, she had no choice but to reluctantly push back the original arrangement (taking a nap), and met with three-thirds of the ship that only belonged to her in front of the small port fortress that originally belonged to the Preyla Chamber of Commerce in Giadin. A bunch of weirdos aboard a one ton 'little' wreck.
"Hello!"
"I'm Hedram Joachim Bergstone of the Swedish Navy. You... are you the admiral of the Li family from Daming that has been rumored recently?"
When Hedram Joachim Bergstone began to speak, he really had a doubtful tone, because he couldn't imagine that the five ships moored in the port were bigger than their Swedish navy. The leader of the largest first-tier battleship and an even bigger ship, is this little blond girl in front of me?
and,
The other party didn't know why they could represent the Li family of Daming, and they blatantly captured the port of Giadin without declaring war as soon as they appeared on the stage, and expelled the Malay Governor Dole Artes Lopez de Preyla and For the members of the chamber of commerce under his command, it was hard for him to believe that such a thing could be done by a little girl.
"That's right!"
()
"He is the Li Family Chamber of Commerce's Admiral Anne Hasta, the commander of the Nanyang Exploration Fleet!"
o(*︶*)o
Without waiting for the interpreter brought by the other party to translate, Annie directly spoke to the strange white-haired and blue-eyed uncle in fluent Swedish.
"!!"
"you……"
"Are you Swedish? Danish or Norwegian?"
Hedram was a little surprised when he heard the little girl's answer. However, he was not sure of her identity, because there are two other languages of the same language branch in Scandinavia, which are Danish and Danish. Norwegian, that can be communicated with Swedish, so it is not easy for him to judge what is going on with the little girl in front of him.
"neither!"
(^~^;)ゞ
"Then how do you know Swedish..."
Hedram frowned so tightly that he still couldn't believe it.
"He can speak all languages!"
(-)
"By the way, uncle, is that little broken boat outside yours?"
(.)
"How many ships like that do you have?"
(⊙⊙)
Annie saw that the opponent's warship also had dozens of cannons on one side, maybe only half of hers. If there were more than ten, maybe this time she was in Southeast Asia, that is, here in Luzon. The land grab operation might not go too smoothly?
Of course, she doesn't know the performance of the cannons of the opponent's ship for the time being. If the difference is not too big, there will be more shots. If the difference is too big, then it is estimated that they will only be abused by them.
"Small wreck?"
Hedram Joachim Bergstone gasped.
He didn't understand how Sweden's, or even Europe's most advanced, first-class battleship with a displacement of nearly 2,000 tons turned into a small broken ship in her mouth? What's more, as soon as the other party opened his mouth, he asked them how many such first-class battleships they had and what they wanted to do?
"That's our first-class battleship, not a small broken ship."
"but……"
"What are you asking this for?"
Hesitating, being disturbed by the other party, he faintly felt that this meeting might not go well, but Hedram Joachim Bergstone finally followed Anne's words and asked this question.
"Of course I was wondering how much it would cost to defeat your fleet of a ship like that!"
()
"I think their five super battleships can beat at least ten of yours... no, at least twenty!"
()hey-hey!
Annie extended her two slaps unceremoniously, and then said to the white-haired uncle in front of her while rolling her hands.
"..."
"madness!"
"While you are at war with the Malay governor of Portugal, Doyle Lopez de Preyla, do you also want to make an enemy of our Swedish navy?"
Hedram felt a little incredible.
Although he admitted that the opponent's ship is indeed very big, at least three times the size of their first-tier battleship, and the gun ports on the same side of the hull are more than twice that of their first-tier battleship, but he did not I don't think the other party has the ability to be enemies with the Malay governor and their Swedish navy at the same time.
He thinks that the opponent's ship is big, so the speed must not be too fast. Even if it has a streamlined and beautiful hull and four main masts, the power must still be inferior to their first-class battleship. In a real fight, they only need to have more than double the number of advantages and seize the upper hand, and the opponent will definitely become a target!
"Huh?"
Σ(°△°|||)︴
"Didn't you guys come here to warn people after you were with the Spicy Preyla Chamber of Commerce?"
(.)
There were similar envoys who came here yesterday, and Anne whipped them away and drove them away. Then these people came again today, and even drove a battleship. She thought it was the hot Prayer The people from the Chamber of Commerce sent to threaten and warn her!
"..."
"no!"
Hearing the little girl's answer, Hedram couldn't help but smiled wryly, and secretly sweated at the fact that the two sides almost collapsed and became enemies just now.
"We belong to the Swedish navy, and Preyla is the governor of Portugal in Malay. Our fleet is here in Indochina to protect the safety of the shipping routes of our own merchants."
This time, Hedram Joachim Bergstone did not hide anything. He first put aside the relationship between his fleet and the Malay Governor Dole Artes Lopez de Preyla. Then he explained the main purpose of his coming here.
"only……"
"We heard that you Ming people's fleet has occupied Giadin and that you are fighting against the Preyla Chamber of Commerce without declaring it. That's why we came here to negotiate. We want to see if you will treat our merchant ships Will it become our enemy if it poses a threat?"
Of course, he definitely wouldn't say it, and he also wanted to see if he could profit from it.
Because the spicy pepper trade here in Indochina was monopolized by the Malay Governor of Portugal, Doyle Lopez de Preyla, and almost all the plantations and spice trade in the Spice Islands were controlled by the Netherlands. Van Kuen monopolizes them, so that their Swedish businessmen are in a very embarrassing situation here. They can only buy from the hands of the above two monopolies at high prices, or simply cannot receive enough goods, which seriously affects Sweden. overseas interests, so as a navy, they always want to work hard to change the situation.
But Hedram would definitely not dare to fight directly with Portugal or the Netherlands, two maritime trading powers. He does not have that authority, nor does he have that strength.
Here in Indochina, whether it is the Preyla Chamber of Commerce or the Kuhn Chamber of Commerce, the combat effectiveness of the large North Sea three-masted square sailboats and large Spanish square sailboats in their hands is not weak at all, and there are still a lot of them. With enough cannons, even his first-tier battleships would feel a little scared when they encountered them. In a one-to-many situation, military battleships could only run away.
After all, in this age of great voyages, almost all the ships doing trade at sea were all armed merchant ships, and they were embarrassed to go out without more than a dozen cannons, and if necessary, they could add gun ports in the warehouse at any time. Cannons were changed into fully armed warships to deal with some sudden threats, such as the Preyla fleet that is currently being organized and dispatched in Malacca?
Yes, Hedram had already heard when he came here that the Preyla Chamber of Commerce is organizing a fleet, which is a large fleet of more than twenty ships, mainly composed of large Spanish square sailing ships!
They are going to come to Jadin to crusade against the Li Family Chamber of Commerce, which once again refused to listen to advice and invaded Portugal's interests.
It is said that all those armed merchant ships were loaded with cannons, and the number of cannons on each ship will exceed sixty, and the total cannons of a fleet are absolutely no more than the cannons on the five giant ships in the port of Giadin. Quantity is less.
The upcoming battle will start in a month at the latest!
Therefore, when Hedram came here, in addition to wanting to report the news, he also wanted to test the strength of the Li family's fleet, and wanted to see if the second batch of the Li family's fleet that came to Indochina could defeat the Prussian fleet. Leila's chamber of commerce?
But now, Hedram saw that the fleet of the Li Family Chamber of Commerce was very strong this time, and the ships were terrifying giants that he had never heard of before. The rumored Zheng He Navy of the Ming Dynasty was probably nothing more than that.
However, the number of ships in the Li family's fleet is still too small, and the admiral of the fleet is actually a little girl who seems unreliable, which makes him feel a little hesitant, not knowing how to bet good.
"enemy?"
(**;)
Annie didn't understand what the other party meant, but anyway, all she knew was that the other party didn't seem to be a good person, and at the same time, he didn't have any good intentions, and he seemed to be thinking of setting up a warship to show off his might to them?
"Hmm..."
(~)
So, she didn't speak in a hurry, but turned her head to look at the ship moored in the port.
"All right!"
ε=(ο`*)))
"Uncle, someone told you..."
乛乛
"Originally we were not enemies, because they first planned to destroy the Preyla Chamber of Commerce, but since you came directly to your door, we are enemies now!"
|ω)
After finishing speaking, before the other party could react, Annie suddenly waved at the officer next to her.
"Catch them!!"
(ψ`▽′)o
Click!
Click! !
Following the order of the great admiral Annie, before Hedram and his followers could react, all the sailors of the Ming and Li families all pointed their flintlock guns at each other. The foreheads of Hedram and others were aimed at, and the distance was still very close, so that they could even clearly see the weird arc in the muzzle of the flintlock.
"!!"
"His Excellency Anne Hastur!"
"What are you doing?"
"We are envoys. According to the practice of various countries, you cannot do this!"
With muskets held against his forehead by a group of guards, even a navy admiral as brave as Hedram Joachim Bergstone would definitely not dare to move easily.
Therefore, he could only watch helplessly as those Daming sailors sent someone forward to unload all of their sabers and short spears, and completely disarmed them after a while.
"Routine?"
(ˇˇ)
"Your routine doesn't work!"
(ˉ▽ ̄~)cut~~
"'Truth is only within the range of the cannon', isn't that what you Europeans said? Now their cannons must have a longer range than yours, and there are more cannons than yours, so it's up to them to decide here!"
(ψ`▽′)o
"Anyway, your first-class battleship was requisitioned by others, and when they drive all your people off the ship, you can find a way to leave on your own!"
()
That's right, Anne has taken a fancy to the opponent's first-class battleship. Although it may be a bit small, it must be more than enough for the local fleet to escort.
"!!"
"Who said that, it's slander, blatant slander, we Europeans have never said that!"
However, before Hedram could say more, the guards pushed them away impatiently.
At the same time, before the first-class battleship in the port could react, it was slowly surrounded by two super battleships that opened their gun doors and pushed out their cannons, and was caught in the middle.
Then, the commander was not there, and seeing the Swedish navy who had no chance of winning, they quickly hoisted the white flag and declared their surrender.
"Annie..."
"you……"
After all the outsiders were escorted away, Song Yifeng, who didn't say a word the whole time and didn't even know what Annie was saying to the white-haired uncle, hurried up and asked.
"Isn't it good for us to do this?"
Although she couldn't understand what the two sides said, she still saw the sudden conflict between the two sides and the "captured" warship in the distant harbor just now, and she knew exactly what Annie did.
"This is good!"
o(^`)o
"Now we don't have enough boats, and it's too troublesome to build them ourselves, so we have to grab... borrow them!"
╮(╯▽╰)╭
"That's it anyway!"
(`)
Annie wouldn't explain it to Song Yifeng!
She has already decided to take down all the Nanyang region, that is, Luzon or Indochina. At that time, those guys will definitely be her enemies, and since they are enemies, sooner or later If you want to fight, it's better to take the opportunity to seize the opponent's ship now, so as to save time and trouble!
Moreover, who told them to drive away big sister Li Huamei and the others, and let them make a trip for nothing?
They made her unhappy, Admiral Anne, and she would definitely deliberately make them unhappy and turn this place upside down!
What's more, since Li Huamei and the others have been going to the Indian Ocean for almost a month, they can't stay here for too long. They must clear up the 'hostile' forces here as soon as possible, and then chase them to the Indian Ocean.
