Chapter 1550|?˙?˙) The Phoenix Perches in the East, Illuminating China

Under normal circumstances, if you start from Madeira or Las Palmas Port and go to the New World along the direction of ocean currents and monsoons, even if the wind is smooth, it will take at least five to eight weeks. Slow cargo ships often take three months or more to arrive.

However, that is the general case.

And Little Annie and those big and fast flying scissor-style giant iron keel battleships under her command are obviously not within the scope of those "general"?

So, just three weeks later, they set off from Madeira Port, successfully arrived in the New World, and entered the port at St. John's Port where Li Huamei and others landed.

However, the difference from the treatment of Li Huamei and others is that...

The New Continent has long received various news from the Mediterranean Sea, knowing the great achievements of the Li Family's Second Fleet, and also knowing the fate of the Kingdom of Spain and the Armada, so they received a warm reception here, and a certain The Cuban governor, the Spanish pirate leader who ruled the Caribbean, and another 'ally' of the Li Family Chamber of Commerce even rushed to St. John's Port from Havana within three days after getting the news, and asked to see Li Your Excellency the Devil Admiral of the Home Fleet.

"What did you say?"

!!!∑(Дノ)ノ

"Li Huamei and the others are some idiots, are they not here in New World?"

=('ヮ'three'ヮ'=)

"They remodeled the ship, loaded it with a large amount of supplies, and bypassed the port of Pernambuco two months ago. They plan to go across the Pacific Ocean and return to Daming directly from the Pacific Ocean?!"

=()!!!

She never expected that after they all came to the New World, the last stop in the Americas, they would be able to miss out again. Annie was a little messed up on the spot.

As a result, looking at the so-called ally in front of him, seeing the nominal governor of Cuba and the Spanish pirate leader Vazquez de Maldenade who ruled the Caribbean, how flattering he was, looking at the other party She faintly felt that the delicious food from the 'New World' they brought was a bit of an eyesore.

"How could they do this..."

(﹏,)

"He brought a big boat and chased it all the way from Daming..."

°(°°)°

To know,

Annie came all the way and beat almost all the enemies to the ground. Even the Spanish Armada was tormented by her to ask for peace, and she almost surrendered unconditionally. She was planning to show off to Li Huamei and the others. What about my big ship and record, but the result...

Those bad guys, not counting in the New World, actually want to cross the Pacific Ocean, verify the theory that the earth is round, and directly complete the sailing feat of circling the earth and returning to Daming?

"Ahem..."

"Your Excellency the Admiral?"

"this……"

"They circumvented the southernmost port of Pernambuco more than two months ago. According to their speed, they should be on the other side of the Caribbean Sea, at the Inca Empire on the western coast of the New World. Are you on the side?"

"If you start now, maybe you can make it?"

Vazquez de Mardenard carefully suggested to the admiral, the little girl from the Li family who was going crazy, but after he finished speaking, he changed the subject again:

"Of course!"

"If they have already set off from the Inca Empire and officially entered the Pacific Ocean, you and your fleet may be hard to find..."

Anyway, in his opinion, if Li Huamei and her fleet were still near the coast of the Inca Empire, they would be easy to find, as long as they walked around the coastline, they would definitely be able to find them. After all, a dozen ships are not so Good to hide!

But once it enters the Pacific Ocean, there is really no way.

Without knowing the exact route of the other party in advance, rushing to the sea, and going to the world's largest ocean to find an ocean-going fleet with only a dozen ships, the difficulty of that kind of thing, in Vazquez de From the perspective of the pirate leader Mardenard, it is probably not much different from finding a needle in a haystack.

Among other things, when they plan to rob the Diogo de Esconte Spanish treasure ship or cargo ship, even if they know the date and specific route of the other party's departure in advance and go to ambush in advance, they will often fail ten times. Seven or eight times, he would miss the air, so he didn't have much expectation for chasing Li Huamei's fleet and finding them.

Besides, he saw that the five warships in the Second Fleet of the Li Family Chamber of Commerce were all big ships, and there were no number of gun positions on one side alone. Coupled with the complicated and numerous sails, it must have been There must be a lot of sailors, and a ship like that is definitely not suitable for dangerous long-distance voyages across the Pacific Ocean.

After all, there is no fixed route in the Pacific Ocean, and there is no place for supplies along the way. Although there are no stormy waves and dangerous reefs and dark beaches, the long voyage alone is enough to destroy a fleet that cannot get supplies.

"I didn't find it again..."

"That……"

"Annie, what shall we do then, shall we bypass the New World and go to the Pacific Ocean as well to chase them?"

Listening to the explanations and suggestions of the pirate leader Vazquez de Maldenard, Song Yifeng herself was a little at a loss, not knowing what to do.

After all, they worked hard all the way, and finally found the New World, a place far, far away from Daming, but in the end, sister Li Huamei and the others went back to Daming from the other side of the New World, and they still couldn't catch up. The other party, that is really, really frustrating.

"..."

(~)

Anne is also thinking and hesitating.

"not going!"

(`^)

But soon, thinking that going back from the Pacific Ocean needs to cross the entire ocean, and thinking that even those clipper warships that she built may take a month to go around South America and spend about two months of boring time to cross the Pacific Ocean, she immediately Backed off.

"This isn't fun at all!"

o(╥﹏╥)o

"do not care!"

(ˇεˇ)

"Go back to Daming the same way by yourselves. He's leaving, so he won't go across that boring Pacific Ocean!"

(ψ｀╭╮′)o

As she said that, Anne resentfully walked out of this temporarily repaired house in St. John's Port.

She chased all the way from Daming to here, and circled more than half of the world, but she still couldn't catch up. If she continued to chase, she would have to catch up to Daming. In that case, she simply waited in Hangzhou. It's fine if you don't want to, why bother chasing all the way here?

Anyway!

Annie will definitely not admit that she has committed a mess or done some stupid things, so she decided not to play hide-and-seek games with that annoying Li Huamei and other villains. It doesn't matter, and I won't accompany you anymore.

"ah?"

"We go back by ourselves?"

"But!"

"What about you, Annie? You're not going back?"

At first, she was stunned for a moment, then blinked, Song Yifeng, the incompetent second admiral, finally came to her senses, she had a vague idea of ​​what Annie said, so she quickly stood up and chased after her, feeling a little at a loss asked.

"I'm going to go to another world to play. You can drive those boats back the same way. The Pacific Ocean is very dangerous. You'd better not chase them. If you go back the same way, as long as you don't stop for too long, Can't you still go back to Hangzhou in front of those scoundrels?"

(lll￢▽￢)

"Really..."

ε=(ο｀*)))

"Anyway, that's it, goodbye, everyone!"

(-)

After finishing speaking, Song Yifeng who was chasing after him, the first mate, many sailors around, and the suspicious Cuban governor, the Spanish pirates who ruled the Caribbean, Vazquez de Maldenard and others all watched. Suddenly, under the blue sky and bright sun, Annie disappeared in a flash of blue light, and was never seen again.

"!!"

"my God!!"

"She, she, she...she, why did she suddenly disappear?!"

"What's going on, is she really a devil?"

"Or, is she a witch?!"

Unlike Song Yifeng, who had already been immune to Anne's methods and had even seen more incredible situations with his own eyes, and the first mate and those sailors who followed all the way from Daming, Vazquez de Martina When De saw Annie disappear in an instant, he almost stared at his pair of black eyeballs.

Although it is not uncommon for him to see the burning of witches in the church, he has never seen a situation where the little girl disappeared suddenly like that just now.

"snort!"

"The great admiral is the supreme true god bestowed upon us by the heavens, and it's not something you and other wild people can understand!"

Seeing that Anne disappeared, the first mate felt something. After mocking the Spanish pirate contemptuously, he knelt down on one knee with the other sailors, saluted in the direction where their admiral disappeared and silently praying.

"laugh!"

"That's right!"

"Anne is a fairy, how could she be a witch or a devil?"

Song Yifeng didn't kneel down, because she and Annie were best friends, so she just stood in the crowd of kneeling crowd feeling a little lost and sighed with emotion.

"??"

"True God? Immortal?"

Vazquez de Maldenade obviously didn't know what it was, because he only knew God, and everything else seemed to him to be false gods, and to believe in false gods was all alien. Christians!

Of course, he's a pirate, so he doesn't care that much!

So, seeing so many people kneeling down, he, who had a wide range of beliefs, thought about it seriously, and then he also asked his subordinates to kneel down on half a knee.

You know, no matter what real gods, false gods or gods are, in his opinion, they must not be ordinary mortals, they must have supernatural abilities, and they have seen it with their own eyes just now, so for them For the pirates who are fighting for their lives at sea, it is always good to have more mysterious power of protection.

...

In the eighteenth year of Chongzhen, the summer of the second year of the Empress Tianshou.

I have been to the windless zone in the Pacific Ocean, and I have also been to the stormy area. I have suffered countless hardships against the stormy waves. After sailing for more than six months, I passed Guam and finally replenished and repaired in Naha for a week. Li Huamei and others, who also lost two large ships and hundreds of sailors, finally returned safely to the Ming Empire's Hangzhou Port and sailed into the Qiantang River.

"Well?"

"Look! What ship is that?!"

As soon as she entered the Qiantang River, Li Huamei saw at a glance that in the distance, in an independent port not far from the familiar yet somewhat strange, bigger Hangzhou City Wharf, the boat was parked for a while and rolled up. The giant warships with sails, and at a glance, there are more than a dozen or twenty ships?

Therefore, as a matter of course, Li Huamei was the first to exclaim aloud when she saw the medium-sized blessing boat and flagship Chunshen which was more suitable for long-distance voyages.

"!!"

"Big boats, how can they be so big?"

"have no idea."

"Never seen..."

"I saw it. There are at least a hundred gun ports on one side alone. It's really scary!"

"Oh my god, isn't that the kind of giant treasure ship that the legendary Sanbao eunuch used when he sailed to the West?"

"ah!"

"No! You see, the one over there didn't furl its sails. Its sails don't look like Fuchuan. It looks more like a European square-sailed ship like a Galen ship. Moreover, it is still There are several front and rear triangular auxiliary sails, which are very different from Daming's ship."

"Too……."

"Could it be the Portuguese or the Dutch who occupied Hangzhou?"

"No, look, there is a flag of Ming Dynasty on it."

"ah!"

"It seems that there is still the flag of our Li Family Chamber of Commerce?"

"impossible!"

"It's just hanging there, why can't it be possible?"

"..."

"It really is……"

"Could it be a general surnamed Li from the Daming Navy?"

"possible!"

"So, that's Daming Navy?"

"It must be!"

I saw those huge sailing ships that seemed to be military docks or water villages in the distance, Yang Xien, James Ludway, Xingjiu Baimu, Yian Dukov and those followers who joined the Li family fleet on the Chunshen Participants, such as Janus Pasha, Frio, and Christina, and others also exclaimed and discussed loudly.

Finally, they came to a conclusion, that is: Those ships must be the navy of the Ming Empire, and they seem to be ships under the command of a general surnamed Li, just like their Li Family Chamber of Commerce?

"..."

However, what everyone didn't know was that behind them at this time, the Englishman Charlie De Huisen had a cloudy expression on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"It should be..."

"What should we do, Admiral, do we still have to enter Hong Kong?"

After the discussion, James Ludway squeezed away the crowd, walked to Li Huamei's side and asked worriedly.

"..."

"Enter!"

"We didn't do anything wrong, we just go home now, why don't we go in?"

Frowning slightly, finally, with a wave of Li Huamei's hand, she issued a decision to let the fleet continue to move forward, sail directly into Hangzhou Port and dock.

"But……"

"Admiral, Daming's sea ban, and the warnings given to us by those officials..."

James Ludway is still a little worried, because their Li family fleet was forced away by the sea ban and those officials, and now they are back, and there are more ships. He is worried that they will be made things difficult, especially now that Ming Already in the case of a stronger fleet?

"No problem!"

"They saw us and didn't come out to intercept, so that means there is no problem, let's go in!"

"Look, there seem to be a lot of European-style ships in the port. It's no problem. At worst, it's your ship?"

"Besides, we didn't bring any goods when we came back this time. If the sea bans, as long as we don't sell the goods and let people go up and down to sort them out, those officials probably won't embarrass our Li family too much."

As if to comfort James and everyone, and as if to comfort herself, Li Huamei said so.

"Too……"

Nodding his head, James Ludwig stopped thinking about it, and let the ship slowly sail against the current against the Qiantang River under the blowing of the sea wind.

then...

What Li Huamei and her followers never imagined was that they were warmly welcomed by Song Yifeng and others who had already returned to Daming on the same route as soon as they landed in Hong Kong. Among them, there was actually that organization The long-distance caravan, Lilu Agot and others who arrived in Hangzhou almost together with Song Yifeng and others.

"this……"

"This is how the same thing?"

"Yifeng?"

"Why are you still in Hangzhou?"

"And Lilu, why did you come to Daming?"

"By the way, those big ships outside, and these people... What's going on?"

Seeing so many people lining the road to welcome them, including many soldiers and officials, and looking at her former crew members and her good friend Lilu who met in Nanyang, Li Huamei felt very kind when she saw everything in front of her. However, she felt very strange and surprised at the same time, completely unaware of what was going on here.

"laugh!"

"Sister Huamei, do you know?"

"In order to find you, Annie and we accidentally beat up the whole world!"

"But well, now you are finally back!"

"correct!"

"The Queen's order has arrived. You will soon be canonized as Dinghai King of the Ming Empire. Isn't it amazing?"

"And oh!"

"Thanks to Anne, the seas of the whole world have been conquered by our Ming Empire. Now that the Ming Dynasty has lifted the sea ban, all public and private merchant ships can go to the world to do business!"

"Also, your Li Family Chamber of Commerce, or the current Daming Navy, is already the overlord of the Seven Seas!"

Song Yifeng stuck out her tongue mischievously, and then babbled about everything while Li Huamei and the others were at a loss.

Thanks to Annie, now Song Yifeng has also been named the first princess of Seoul by Empress Daming, and has become a great nobleman and a princess of the Joseon Kingdom. This made her not know how to talk to her master and senior brother when she went back. Let us explain.

"ah?"

"Ding Haiwang?"

"The Overlord of the Seven Seas?!"

"This, this is impossible!"

"When we were away, what happened in the Ming Empire?!"

"My God..."

Listening to Song Yifeng's words, Li Huamei and her first followers, such as Yang Xi'en, Charlie Dehuisen, James Ludwig, Xingjiu Shiraki, and Yi Andukov, all exclaimed.

"alright!"

"Stop talking!"

"Her Majesty's envoy has been waiting for you for a long time, go and receive the order first!"

"You don't know that the small imperial court of Nanming finally voluntarily surrendered not long ago, and now it's time to employ people. I heard that Her Majesty the Queen also said that you will be the Minister of Commerce and in charge of Customs!"

"But the prime minister of the cabinet, you must be out of action. Uncle Li is the one who has made great contributions!"

"It's a pity that Annie won't come back..."

"But fortunately she didn't come back, otherwise I don't know how to seal her!"

"It's okay now, it seems that you only need to worship her as the only god officially recognized by the Ming Empire..."

Song Yifeng, who was leading the way, talked endlessly, and then Li Huamei noticed that Song Yifeng's clothing decoration seemed to be that kind of royal dress?

"Annie?"

"By the way, I don't seem to have seen Annie, has she gone home?"

Li Huamei's mind was already in a mess, after hearing Song Yifeng mention Annie, she suddenly remembered that there really seemed to be some amazing lazy little guy who was left in the private house in Hangzhou by them. ?

"Annie..."

"oops!"

"You'd better go to your house to get the decree first, and I'll talk to you carefully later!"

"Don't look at those boats for now, they are all ours now, I will take you out for a stroll some other day!"

"Come with me!"

Now the admiral of the Daming Navy, the admiral of the East China Sea, the admiral of the Daming Navy, the commander of the Jingwei Commander and the governor of the Five Armies, and the envoys are waiting in Li Huamei's private house, so Song Yifeng doesn't want to waste time. He signaled the soldiers in front and those officials and wealthy businessmen who wanted to come forward to talk to them to get out of the way.

"Our ship?"

"impossible!"

"I don't remember our Li Family Chamber of Commerce having that kind of scary big ship, even Hangzhou or the entire Ming Dynasty doesn't have that kind of ship!"

Li Huamei was even more confused, you know, she came back from a round-the-world trip, and it seemed that she only visited for more than a year, why now, Song Yifeng said that those big boats belonged to them?

Even if such a big ship is built, it may take more than a year to build it, right?

"oops!"

"I'll tell you later!"

"Come quickly!"

"correct!"

"The shipbuilding technology of those ships, our Ming Dynasty has it now!"

"In Tamsui City, they are currently working overtime to manufacture. A few days ago, a few ships were built, and they are now undergoing sea trials. Counting, we all have nearly 30 large ships of that type."

"I heard from Uncle Li that he wants to build at least a hundred ships!"

After Song Yifeng let the soldiers block the crowd and the officials and wealthy businessmen, he continued to talk endlessly, and at the same time let Li Huamei get into her luxurious four-wheeled and exquisite carriage.

It was her car as the Princess of Seoul, and it was given to her by Her Majesty the Queen.

However, for others, those people brought back by Li Huamei, she didn't let them get into her car, but let them follow on foot.

"??"

"Who is Uncle Li?"

After getting into the car, as the four-wheeled carriage with the shock absorption system started to move forward slowly, Li Huamei, who was gradually relaxing, couldn't help asking a little strangely.

"ah!"

"I don't know either..."

"Anyway, people only know that his surname is Li, and he has a big beard..."

Slightly taken aback, Song Yifeng thought for a while, and finally she was surprised to find that even though she had gone to exterminate the Japanese pirates and conquered the Japanese country with the other party, and stayed on the same boat for a long time, it seemed that she herself did not know about the bearded man. Captain's name?

"??"

Li Huamei was a little puzzled. She couldn't get an answer, but as she thought about it, her mind became even more confused.

"!!"

"Oh, stop talking, you come with me first!"

Finally, Song Yifeng didn't say anything more, because there were too many things to say, and she might not be able to finish it for a few days and nights, and she didn't know where to start, so she simply decided to wait until she got back and then go slowly. explain!

"etc!"

"We haven't paid our taxes yet..."

"It's all right?"

At this time, Li Huamei, whose mind was in a mess, thought of her ships and the gold and silver that were not too much.

"What tax do you pay?"

"We have the final say in the entire Ming Dynasty, who dares to collect taxes from us officers and soldiers?!"

As she spoke, Song Yifeng arrogantly raised her round chin, which was a little pink and fat now, and no longer as sharp as when she was sailing the world.

"Official army?"

"When did we become an official army?!"

"oops!"

"Anyway, that's it!"

"..."

"How could there be such a big change? I was still thinking that when I came back, I would use those dozens of ships to fight Japanese pirates..."

"Japanese pirates?"

"Aha! Sister Huamei, the pirates were beaten to the ground by us a year ago!"

"Let me tell you, now the entire Wa Kingdom is a vassal state of our Ming Empire, and their shogun recently issued a letter of credence to express his submission."

"ah?"

"how so……"

"In short, let's talk about it when we go back. There are too many things coming, and I don't know how to explain it."

"It must have started when you left Annie and me..."

"Annie?"

"..."

As the conversations in the luxurious carriage at the head gradually stopped, this group of musketeers on horseback escorted them gradually approached the gate of Hangzhou City.

Not far away, the Ming officers and soldiers guarding the gate saw the approach of the team and the carriage, and hurriedly shouted and opened the biggest city gate, intending to let the team enter the city through the main gate, instead of going through the two sides of the gate like ordinary people A slightly smaller side door to enter.
