Chapter 1539!!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ They Are Self-Defense!
The Madeira Islands, located outside the mouth of the Mediterranean Sea, is a bustling port known as the "Pearl of the Atlantic". Today, a bad little girl, the Admiral, almost capsized in the gutter here!
Yes, just a little bit.
If Annie is really just an ordinary person, she might really have a huge stumble here in Madeira, and ruin her way of conquering Japan, sweeping across Southeast Asia, bullying India, and shaking Africa. The great name of Admiral Li Family!
But fortunately, she is not an ordinary person!
And more importantly, there are nearly 10,000 sailors on her five big ships, and as long as they pick up weapons and muskets, they will be a strong and qualified sailor. Those Portuguese soldiers who launched an outrageous attack never expected it.
And why do you say that, you have to start in the morning...
After the Li family's fleet calmed down the opposition forces in Africa, it went all the way north. It took almost more than half a month to successfully arrive at Madeira and successfully enter the port to anchor in the port.
"This is Madeira, so we're finally at the gateway to Europe, aren't we?"
()
"Quick! Let's go into the city to find something delicious!!"
()
After the fleet slowly drove into the port of Madeira and stopped in the deep-water berth, and then jumped onto the pier bridge for the first time, of course, little Anne was going to take her little follower Song Yifeng and a few other important The sailors who followed with a stern face ran to the city to play and look for delicious food or something.
then...
Surprisingly, after seeing their ships stop and anchor, suddenly, a large group of Portuguese hunters wearing tall hats and red tights, at least a thousand, suddenly rushed out from various places on the pier , and surrounded the five giant ships of the Li family fleet docked in the deep-water berth in one fell swoop, and at the same time aimed their guns at Admiral Anne, who had just stepped onto the pier bridge, and her somewhat at a loss subordinates.
"!!"
!(;o)o
"Hey! What do you want to do?!"
o(*｀ー)o
Annie felt a little baffled.
because,
She and her fleet didn't seem to have done anything bad, and they didn't provoke anyone here. Why did they just come here and they were going to ambush them in the pier?
"snort!"
"Are you also from the Li family fleet that came from the east?"
At this time, a leading officer pushed away the soldiers surrounding the pier, squeezed a few steps in front of Annie and the others, and then subconsciously asked something.
"!!"
"Well?!"
Then, after looking at Anne and the sailors who were also tense behind Anne, he didn't pay much attention to it. He just looked up at the 'Da Ming' and 'Da Ming' hanging above the tallest mast of the giant warship 'Xiangfeihu'. After the Li' word banner, he suddenly came to the spirit.
"It's the flag, that's right!"
"It's a big fish catch!"
Before, he was severely reprimanded by the governor of Madeira because he failed to capture Li Huamei, the admiral of the Li family's fleet. Luban came here and delivered it to the door, and there were five terrifying giant ships, which made the Portuguese officer feel that he must be making great contributions this time.
"quick!"
"Catch them all and arrest the boat!!"
Therefore, he couldn't wait to shout and order to the soldiers.
"??"
!? ('')
"What are you guys doing?!"
(ψ｀╭╮′)o︻デ═一
Although she didn't know what was going on with these soldiers and that officer here, Anne only knew that the other party seemed to want to arrest them, and even pointed their guns at them, so she also took out the took her musket.
In short, no matter what it is, it must be resisted no matter what.
"What are you doing?!"
"The news that your Li family fleet attacked and snatched the Spice Islands and killed the Malay Governor Dole Arte Lopez de Preyla has already spread, do you think we don't know anything? "
"Catch them all!"
"If there is any resistance, shoot and kill!!"
Hearing that Annie could speak Portuguese, although the officer was a little surprised, he didn't think too much about it. He just explained the sentence with a smile and waved his hand, and asked the soldiers to surround the Li family's fleet. .
Now, the opponent's ship has docked, and even the sails have been lowered. It is absolutely impossible to run out again. Therefore, he feels that this time he must have a chance to win and will soon be promoted and raised. up.
And those sailors with knives and guns and that weird little girl were not taken seriously by him. Although the other party's ship was indeed big, but if the other party stopped at the pier, what deterrence could it have?
"!!"
(Д≡д)!?
"you dare?!"
(へ╬)
Anne obviously wouldn't stand still, so as soon as she finished speaking, muskets protruded from the side of the flagship ship behind her, and the muzzles of those threaded Minie rifles also began to explode. He aimed condescendingly at the Portuguese soldiers like tit for tat.
at the same time!
More sailors on the ship also got busy after discovering the situation. Not long after, more muzzles were protruded from the ship's edge, gun ports or other places, and some people even directly pushed out a cannon.
"!!"
"you……"
Seeing this, the Portuguese officer also suddenly choked up, and then he suddenly realized that he seemed... somewhat underestimated the determination and strength of the Li family's fleet to resist?
However, he is not afraid!
Because here in Madeira, they have more than 2,000 soldiers. This place is not far from the mainland, and there are two forts on both sides of the pier. ability to resist.
so……
"Fire!!"
When the two sides started to confront each other, when the guns of the two sides were aiming at each other and neither of them recognized their cowardice, the officer retreated secretly while quietly observing the situation, and after retreating to a safe distance behind the soldiers, He suddenly shouted his command to attack.
Snapped! Snapped!
Boom!
Boom! Boom!
Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!
The next moment, gunshots on the pier became chaotic, and clouds of gunpowder smoke rose into the air after the gunpowder burned violently and gradually spread. The two sides were on the pier, on the boat and off the boat. There was a big fight.
Boom!
Boom! Boom!
Snapped! Snapped!
Not long after, the battle situation began to develop in a direction favorable to the Li family's fleet.
At this time, the Portuguese officer also understood that he obviously underestimated the fighting will of the sailors of the Li family fleet and the power of those muskets, and their soldiers obviously did not have the same board and condescending attitude as the sailors of the Li family. Shooting advantage and the sheer power and precision of that wacky rifle!
So, in just a few minutes, the bodies of the Portuguese hunters wearing tall hats and red tights fell on the ground in disorder, and in the chaos, the Portuguese officer was even more frightened. He fled to the city with a few people.
And the rest, either fell into a pool of blood on the pier or hid in twos and threes behind piles of cargo or wooden barrels, lingering, and began to work hard and sporadically shot at the sailors on the Li family's ship, and from time to time someone Shouting miserably, he spewed out streaks of blood and then collapsed to death on the stone floor of the pier.
The muskets in the hands of the Portuguese hunters were not as good as the Mines rifles in the hands of the sailors of the Li family fleet. They were far inferior in terms of power, accuracy and rate of fire. Therefore, without forming a musket formation, They are definitely not opponents.
Of course, even if they form a musket formation, they will definitely not be opponents!
boom!
boom! boom! boom!
Not long after, the desperate Portuguese began to order the forts on both sides of the pier to fire on the Li family's ships in the port.
It's a pity that the accuracy of their cannons doesn't seem to be very good either, so that when a round of more than a dozen shells hit, except for two hits and two big holes in the outer wall of the Li family's fleet, only Not many victories.
Then……
And then there is nothing more.
The Li family's fleet did not sit still, but directly adjusted the shooting angle of the naval guns on the deck, and after a round of precise salvos, they beat the Portuguese soldiers on the fort until they cried and disappeared.
So, now before sunset, the bad admiral of the Li family finally saved her fleet, and successfully counterattacked, took down the port of Madeira, and gave the Portuguese governor to the other side. The Governor's Palace was driven out of the city.
Since the other party and the remnant soldiers and defeated generals were temporarily missing, the port and city of Madeira, which was full of gunpowder, was basically under the control of the sailors of the Li Family Chamber of Commerce.
When it was noon on the third day, the gunshots that rang out for two days and one night finally subsided, and order at the pier was finally restored. Some people even began to organize vehicles to clean the battlefield and remove the hunters. dead body.
"Great Admiral!"
"No!"
"You just bombarded the port yesterday innocently. The people in the city are very angry with us for occupying this place. For your safety, I ask you to stay in the castle."
In Madeira's Governor's Mansion, the first officer stopped little Annie who was about to take people for a stroll in the city, and began to persuade her earnestly.
"??"
(.)
"A lot of resentment?"
=(*)
"It's a legitimate defense. They hit us first, and then we fought back. Now it's our fault?!"
∑(△｀)? !
Annie found it difficult to understand what the first mate said. After all, in her opinion, their Li family fleet was the victim. Originally, they just wanted to come here to replenish and handle some cargo. They stayed for a day or two at most before leaving, but now, It was forced to fight back because of helplessness. How dare those Europeans have resentment?
"Could it be that there is also that strange reason for over-defense here?"
("ヘ)"?
You know, she didn't eat delicious food yesterday, and she didn't eat it the day before yesterday. Instead, she ate a stomach full of gunpowder smoke. She is the most resentful of Admiral Annie!
"this……"
"Anyway, Chief Admiral, we'd better be careful!"
"You'd better stay in the Governor's Palace or on the ship, and don't go anywhere!"
Anyway, the chief mate does not intend to occupy this place, because this is Europe, which is different from Africa, India, Southeast Asia, Japan and other places. The Europeans are too powerful, although they are not united and have their own disputes , but for the Li Family Chamber of Commerce, it is still very difficult to occupy this archipelago.
He just wanted to repair the two ships that were breached during the artillery battle, and leave here temporarily after the supplies were completed.
Of course, that was his chief mate's idea. How to do it would definitely need to be decided and decided by their Admiral Anne.
"..."
(◎-◎;)
"If you don't go, don't go. By the way, what about sister Li Huamei and the others?"
(*–-)
Annie knew it yesterday. The reason why they attacked seemed to be because those people didn't catch Li Huamei's idiots?
So, now she wants to know, where did the group of cowards who made them so embarrassed go?
"this……"
"According to what the captured officer said, they disappeared here more than a month ago after replenishing supplies. We didn't see them when we came up from Africa. The subordinates feel that if they didn't go to the North Sea, they should be to the New World."
"According to their speed, they should be arriving soon, right?"
The first mate has never been to the New World, and he doesn’t know the distance. However, according to others, it will take five to eight weeks or longer from Madeira to the New World, which is what he thinks anyway. almost.
"!!"
(ノдヽ)
"it's a pity!"
ε=(ο｀*)))
"We seem to have missed a little bit!"
╮(╯▽╰)╭
"How about... eh?!"
|'-')
Just when Annie was about to say something, suddenly, Annie saw that Song Yifeng who had sneaked out without telling her at some point ran back with some people in a panic, and then started yelling as soon as she entered the door.
"Oh no!"
"An, Annie!!"
"I just ran into a guy named Rafael Castro on the pier!"
"The Portuguese, he told me..."
"explain……"
While talking, Song Yifeng didn't come up in one breath, so he had to stop and put his hands on his knees to pant heavily.
"say what?"
(^～^;)ゞ
Annie blinked, not knowing what the other party wanted to say.
"??"
And the first mate came over with a curious expression on his face, as if he was going to hear more clearly.
"He said……"
"The Spaniards knew that we came to Europe and that we had captured Madeira. Therefore, the commander-in-chief of the Spanish Armada and the admiral of the Spanish Royal Navy, Pedro de Barudis, announced that we would attack our Li family fleet. The war is on!"
"He and his Armada will come to attack us soon!!"
Finally, Song Yifeng told the news she had heard anxiously.
"The Armada?"
(ˇˇ)
However, Annie didn't seem to take it too seriously.
"Rafael Castro?"
"Second Admiral, as far as I know, that Rafael Castro seems to be a businessman in the Mediterranean Sea. He has considerable strength in Lisbon and the Mediterranean Sea. He is also a Portuguese, right?"
"We have just captured here, will he kindly come to inform us?"
"Furthermore..."
"Isn't Portugal a vassal state of Spain?"
"Why didn't he help Spain, but help us instead?!"
The first officer didn't know about the entanglement between Spain and Portugal, and he didn't know much about the situation in the Mediterranean and Europe, so he just beat up the Portuguese severely and even seized the port, but in the end Instead, a Portuguese businessman wanted to come to help Li's fleet and said that he couldn't understand it.
"I……"
"I have no idea!"
"Anyway, that's what he said so swearingly!"
"Annie, what should we do?!"
Song Yifeng was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't figure out why, so she had to look at the terrible admiral of the fleet in a panic.
"Cold salad!"
o(^｀)o
"Just let them come!!"
(￢д￢.)
You know, Annie is unhappy and suffocating now!
Her precious flagship "Xiangfeihu" was holed by those villains, and the shells flew into her captain's cabin, making it a mess. In addition, she couldn't go out to play, and she couldn't eat delicious food. Originally, she was planning to find someone to vent her anger, so let those invincible fleets attack her.
Just right, she thought about it, it seems that the Li Family Chamber of Commerce still lacks some ships to form a new "African-European" escort fleet?
