Chapter 1518: ?(ψ`?′)o Our ship is very big, the artillery...


The fleet of five battleships of the Li family first set off from the Qiantang River in Hangzhou. After exiting the bay, they headed south along the coast of Daming. They first went to Quanzhou for replenishment, and then went to Macao, leased by the Portuguese, for a day of replenishment and repair.
Immediately after Anne and her Li family fleet stunned the Portuguese, the five horrible steel-framed wood-skin warships that looked like towering mountains were so grandiose that the flags of Ming and Li family sailed south, towards Going to the West in the direction of Southeast Asia.
The Portuguese probably wanted to break their heads and couldn’t understand why, when the capital of the Ming Empire had been breached by a group of refugees and the country was about to be subjugated, they could organize and create such an exaggerated and terrifying super fleet, and that The fleet is actually not ready to stay at Daming to maintain its rule, but head straight south toward the southeast seas of Southeast Asia aggressively?
They didn’t know what the Ming people wanted to do, so all they could do was to write a few confidential letters in the first place, so that a faster ship would send the information to important places such as Jakarta and Malacca in Southeast Asia. The port sent the letter and gave way to the governors of the ports in Southeast Asia to prepare early.
Under normal circumstances, even if they dispatched small fast merchant ships to deliver letters, it is absolutely impossible to be faster than the five flying scissor battleships under Annie's command, but...
However, a certain auspicious little girl, the captain and chief admiral, is a little unwieldy, so under the circumstances of her irresponsible guidance, the fleet quickly lost its way, and then Jiading, which could have been reached within a few days Hong Kong just walked for many days and found no shadow.
In fact, the fleet has not even found the shadow of the land or the islands. Looking up, the front, back, left, and right are all just an endless sea.
"Hey!"
"First officer! Where are we now?"
First, he looked around with a single-tube telescope, and found that it was useless, Song Yifeng had to ask the first officer repeatedly.
Because the ferocious bearded captain has left the ship and served as admiral in the East China Sea, now on their battleship "Xiang Feihu" only the first officer is acting as the captain, and usually Annie is at all. It doesn't matter, she knows, that guy Annie just wears the title of captain and habitually messes with everyone.
"Report to the second admiral!"
"I don't know yet..."
"The navigators are recalculating the position. After yesterday's storm, we, who tried our best to avoid the storm, have not yet been able to know the exact position."
The second admiral asked, of course the chief officer did not dare to neglect, 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, bipod, protractor, parallel ruler, etc. in the chart. The upper finger pointed and pointed, wanting to determine the specific position of the fleet as soon as possible.
"In other words, are we lost?"
"It's really bad..."
Song Yifeng sighed.
If it hadn’t been for a bad little girl, the Grand Admiral insisted on having the fleet chase a group of dolphins, they wouldn’t yaw, and they wouldn’t run into a storm if they didn’t yaw, and wouldn’t fall to where they are if they don’t encounter a storm, so , Everything is the fault of their Grand Admiral!
Thinking about it, Song Yifeng cast a big eye at the back of a nasty little girl who had a face to play with.
"Isn't it done yet?"
(;′⌒`)
"You guys are so stupid!"
o(`ー′)o
"That sextant, bring it to others!"
?(????)?
At this moment, Annie, who was sitting on the side of the boat with her feet dangling, of course also heard Song Yifeng’s conversation with the first officer, so she didn’t even think about it, so she just threw away the unpalatable snacks in her hand. While feeding the dolphins in the sea, he turned over and jumped back into the boat. Then he ran into the chart room, took out a sextant and started to measure against the sun.
"what?"
"Annie, would you use this thing too?"
The sextant is an optical instrument used to measure the angle between two targets in the distance. It is usually used to measure the angle between the sun or other celestial bodies and the sea horizon or horizon at a certain moment in order to quickly know the latitude and longitude of the ship’s location. , But Song Yifeng herself definitely didn't know how to use or calculate that instrument. As for whether Annie knew, she didn't know.
Anyway, the navigators have been calculating for a long time, and only got a rough position, and the specifics are still being calculated.
"..."
(ー`′ー)
Annie didn't answer, but just pretended to operate.
(...)
(● ̄(?) ̄●)
"All right!"
('???`)
"We are probably here now"
(? ̄? ̄?) Hey!
First, it was a tiger-like operation, and finally found that the error of the broken instrument in her hand was too large. Annie didn't test it at all. Instead, she directly used her unimaginable perception, and she was accurately on this earth in an instant. After pinpointing the specific position of the fleet, she stretched out her hand and drew a circle on a certain position of 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 closer to this side?"
☆? (o?w?)?
"In other words, we need to walk to the southwest at full speed for two days, and we should almost be able to reach this city!"
??(′?`?)???
Those dolphins were very funny just now, especially when they throw a few steamed buns first, and then throw the spicy strips to trick them into fighting for food.
Annie doesn't regret following them around here, and the only thing that makes her a little bit regretful is that their meat is said to be not very good, so she doesn't have the desire to grab one end and roast it for the time being?
"Is it really?"
Song Yifeng glanced at the first officer a little uncertainly.
"more or less?"
"The range measured by the navigators is also in this area, but it's not so precise..."
Looking at the small circle that the Grand Admiral drew on the chart, and thinking about the approximate directions calculated by the navigators just now, the first mate nodded finally, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.
After all, trekking at sea is a very dangerous thing, especially for a large fleet like theirs that does not have too much supply, but now it is better. Now that you know the specific location, it is much easier to handle.
Ding~! Ding~! Ding~!
"Turn to the southwest!"
"Full speed ahead!"
"Turn to the southwest..."
"Turn to the southwest!!"
With the ringing of bells on the flagship, soon, the fleet that had to lower the sails and reduce speed because of the trek began to raise the sails and steer under the operation of the sailors, and then the five giant ships began to accelerate slowly. Speeding toward the established southwest direction, it also caused a large group of dolphins to jump out of the water and keep leaping to follow on both sides of the fleet.
...
Two days later, Ajidin appeared in the sight of the Li's fleet.
Then of course, the appearance of five super-giant ships that had never been seen before made Ajidin’s sailors and port officials jump around, and finally found out that the fleet belonged to Daming Li’s family. It seemed that it was not after the trouble was coming. , They hesitated, and sent a small sampan to carefully guide the five big ships to a deep water berth in the port to anchor far away.
Although the ship entered the port, there was still no way for the big ship to dock directly on the pier. Therefore, Xiao Anni and Song Yifeng had to take a group of dog-legged thugs to board a small boat and land on the pier, preparing to repair, supply 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 City!"
"It seems that the first officer is right. There must be no way to give us good prices for our goods. They probably won't be able to receive so many goods."
This Ajidin is not very good, anyway, Song Yifeng thinks the conditions here are quite bad, and thinks that the first officer's decision to unload only one-tenth of the goods is an extremely correct decision.
"No matter! People just want to know, is there anything delicious here?"
(^▽^)
"Let's go! Let's go shopping in the city..."
o(′▽`)o=3=3=3
Although it's a city, it's 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 was pulling Song Yifeng to leave the pier to take a stroll, soon, an officer on the ship approached the door with someone and stopped her.
"Grand Admiral!"
"There is also a second admiral!"
"The situation seems a bit uncomfortable for us..."
After looking at the left and right, the soldiers waited until the soldiers had separated some irrelevant people, and then the officer leaned in and whispered a report.
"What's wrong?"
Σ(°△°

)︴
"What's wrong, isn't this good? Where is the situation?"
(???.???)????
"what happened again?"
"Hurry up!"
Song Yifeng on the side was also a little curious.
Because they have found the scheduled port, and they have all docked in the port. All of this is fine. Why does the other party suddenly come and tell them that the situation is not so good?
"We just went to negotiate."
"The local trading houses are monopolized by the Preyla Chamber of Commerce. Although they barely accepted the short-selling goods we unloaded and allowed us to stop and supply them here, they were unwilling to provide us with goods, even if only A very small part of the share is not there!"
"They are a little unfriendly 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.
"what?"
(ˉ?ˉ;)
"Is it monopolized?"
(°ー°〃)
"Yes!"
"It is the Kuhn Chamber of Commerce and the Prejla Chamber of Commerce, that is, the Dutch and the Portuguese. They are competing here in Southeast Asia. Most of the ports here are monopolized by those two chambers of commerce. It is difficult for outsiders to intervene. Even the locals have no good solutions."
"And it is said that our Li family fleet, that is, Admiral Li Huamei and others, were also driven away by those two chambers of commerce. They were already forced to set sail more than half a month before we arrived here. Went to the Indian Ocean."
The officer once again shook his teeth with anger.
They finally sailed all the way from Hangzhou to here, but as a result, they found that the'Nanyang' was monopolized by the Portuguese and Dutch from Europa, and they did not give them any market share. Even Li Huamei, the owner of the Li family, had to be forced to give up here and go to the Indian Ocean?
"what?"
"Sister Li Huamei was also driven away by them?!"
"But, are the Kuhn Chamber of Commerce and Preyla Chamber of Commerce really that powerful?"
Song Yifeng was taken aback!
She originally thought that she would definitely meet Li Huamei's sister and others when she came here, and show off the great ships she and Annie had brought, but in the end, she got news that the head of the Li family was caught here in Nanyang. The people were driven away, and those people are not allowed to continue doing business here with the Li Family Chamber of Commerce, even if they barely rely on the port, they only ship and not buy?
"this……"
"Subordinates don't know for the time being."
Shaking his head, the officer looked blank, because he also just came here. He just heard about the two chambers of commerce and the Li family fleet. I want to know more specific things, such as the above. The specific circumstances of the two chambers of commerce really embarrassed him.
"hateful!!"
(??へ??╬)
"Go! Let this Ajidin give us most of the market share, so that they can only do business with our Lijia Chamber of Commerce in the future!"
q(`⌒′q)
At this moment, Annie suddenly ordered the officer.
"what?"
"But, Annie, will they agree?"
Song Yifeng was taken aback. She knew it was impossible without thinking about it.
"you are stupid!"
?(ψ`╭╮′)o
"Of course they won't agree, but don't we have battleships and artillery? Are our big ships a decoration?"
(ˉ▽ ̄~) Cut~~
"!!!"
"Yes!!"
Knowing that his grand admiral was going to copy the model in the Japanese country, the officer suddenly got a shock, then grinned, and quickly ran back towards the pier with the sailors, apparently to send orders and do some things. The arrangement is gone.
"Let's go! Let's go back first too!"
ε=(′ο`))) alas
Look at the small town ~EbookFREE.me~ and then look at the five warships in the pier that are several times taller and several times larger than other sea ships. As a last resort, Annie can only greet Song Yifeng. Prepare to go back to the boat first.
Since it is decided to fight now, there is no way, her chief admiral and Song Yifeng the second admiral are definitely not suitable for staying in the port and getting bombed.
After half a day...
The Li's fleet had just made a volley of fire, and Jiadin Port surrendered unrelentingly.
Then, in the next two days, the people of the Preira Chamber of Commerce were expelled. Then, with the support of the Li family fleet, the locals regained control of the situation and let the Malay Governor of Portugal Preira The forces of Ji Ading were emptied in an instant.
At the same time, the Lijia Chamber of Commerce also seized a large number of large and small merchant ships and materials from the'hostile' forces. At the same time, the caravan from Nanyang to Daming was finally established.
