Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 832, da Gama
"Dong Dong~"

Accompanied by a burst of intensive gunfire, billowing gunpowder smoke filled the air, shells whizzed past in the sky, and huge water columns rose up on both sides of the battleship 'Lawrence'.

"shit~"

Desillas couldn't help cursing again, he was not a native Portuguese, he was born in England, and he also spoke English in a hurry.

After cursing, he looked behind him, and saw that above the sea, one after another of the Daming warships were chasing after them like wolves and tigers, and the Daming dragon flag flying on the battleships was very eye-catching.

In the past, he led three warships to chase and kill the 'Shu Wang', but now it was the other way around, and he was chased and beaten by more than twenty Ming warships.

This is not the key point, the key point is that although the Ming warship is huge in size, its speed is no worse than that of the Portuguese warships. In addition, their artillery range is several times longer than their own, and they always stay outside their own range. , Bombing one side in turn.

Of the three warships, one has already been sunk, and the remaining two battleships are also heavily scarred. It is still a question of whether they can return to Gulidu.

"Whoo~"

There was another whistling sound, and in the field of vision, shells flew towards his side of the sea.

"Wow~"

This time, the Lawrence was very unlucky. A shell hit the mast of the Lawrence impartially and broke the mast directly. The huge mast fell heavily, and the speed of the Laurence dropped rapidly. .

"shit~"

"Surrender, raise the white flag~"

Desilia immediately despaired. Once he lost his power and became a living target, he would definitely die. The artillery fire of the Ming people would send him into the sea to feed the sharks.

So without any hesitation, the white flag was immediately ordered to be hoisted.

On the other side, on the King Ning.

"My lord, the opponent has raised the white flag and surrendered to us."

Dong Lin clenched his hands excitedly. This sea battle was enjoyable. Chasing the opponent was like beating him fiercely. The opponent who hit him ran away with his head in his arms, and now he surrendered directly.

"Good~"

Ning Wang also clenched his fists excitedly.

At first, he was still a little nervous, but after some fighting, King Ning realized that he still seemed to like this feeling very much.

"My lord, do you want to send them all into the sea?"

Dong Lin asked after thinking about it.

"That's not good?"

Li Shishi next to him quickly said that since ancient times, it has been almost a tradition to surrender without killing, and the killing of prisoners is unknown.

"These Portuguese are not very good people. They are all pirates, robbers and the like. Not long ago on the side of the Arabian Sea, the Portuguese captured an Egyptian ship, the Meri, which came from Mecca in the waters near Kannur. The Portuguese The 300 people on board, including many women and children, were all burned alive to warn the Middle East, Persians and Indians, and to declare their hegemony over this sea area."

"In this regard, they also made a lot of publicity. They are very domineering and arrogant. We Daming people have also been oppressed by them in this sea area."

"No kindness is needed for them."

Dong Lin said very decisively.

The reputation of the Portuguese is really ugly. The key is that they are very domineering and arrogant, and they can even do such things.

Compared with them, the Ming people are simply too kind. Although the people on Ceylon Island were reduced to slaves by the Western Union, at least they are very humane to women and children. They never kill women and children. child.

"It turned out to be so tragic, then these Portuguese will not be able to stay."

When King Ning heard this, he was also slightly surprised.

These Portuguese are not very strong, but they are so ruthless and domineering. More than [-] warships dare to dominate the Arabian Sea, and their actions are so unreasonable.

"Send them all to the sea."

"Yes~"

Dong Lin got the order, and soon the semaphore soldiers quickly conveyed the order to the battleship ahead.

"Dong Dong~"

The cannon that had just stopped for a short time began to roar again, and with billowing white smoke, shells poured towards the Lawrence.

The speed of the Lawrence with a broken mast was greatly reduced. At first they thought that after the surrender, they could at least survive, but they didn't expect that the Ming people would attack them again.

"Damn Ming people~"

"We have already surrendered, why are they still attacking us?"

Desillas couldn't figure it out as he watched the shells whizzing towards him one after another.

In their view, the people of Daming are civilized people like them, not barbarians. Since they are civilized people, they should respect and treat those who surrendered kindly.

But he didn't expect that the other party would attack him.

However, he could only curse helplessly. On the vast sea, the Lawrence, whose speed had dropped sharply, basically became a living target. Under one round of shelling, it was riddled with holes in a blink of an eye, and then several more rounds came. The entire battleship began to slowly sink into the sea.

Desillas and some crew members fled desperately in a small boat, but the Ming ship that had already arrived at them did not intend to just let them go.

On the battleships, guns, bows and arrows were aimed at them, and with an order, bullets, bows and arrows completely submerged them.

"Good~"

On the 'Shushan', Ding Kui saw the scene in front of him, and he clenched his hands happily, and let out a bad breath, feeling much more comfortable.

The mighty King Ning fleet continued to sail north, and arrived at Guli, which was occupied by the Portuguese, a day later.

Guli is a city with a very long history. The whole city is built with Guli Port, which is a very good natural high-quality harbor. In history, Zheng He arrived in Guli on his first voyage to the West. Zheng He’s last time Saiyang also died here in Guli.

Of course, Da Gama, the famous navigator in history, also died of illness here in Guli, but now, Da Gama just led the fleet to Guli last year, and conquered the Guli country, turning this place into his own colony.

In Da Gama's Indian Governor's Mansion in Guri Port, Da Gama is studying the map of the Goa region, thinking about how to deal with the Daming people who occupy the Goa region.

Although Da Gama was evaluated as a great navigator in history, he was actually a very domineering, violent and brutal person. He liked to use violent means to solve problems, and he was obsessed with money and wealth. After he came to India, he was almost omnipotent.

He successfully occupied Guli State and monopolized the spice trade between the West and India. He blocked the Persian Gulf very domineeringly, cracked down on Persian and Middle Eastern merchants on the Indian side, and strictly demanded that all regions on the Indian side can only cooperate with them. For trade, trade with Persians and Middle Easterners is not allowed.

In addition, with the emergence of the Ming people, he now has to monopolize the trade with Ming, constantly intercept and kill Persian and Middle Eastern merchant ships heading to Ceylon Island, and block Ming merchant ships heading to the Middle East and Persia.

If it weren't for the fear of Da Ming's powerful power on Ceylon Island, he would even have thought of intercepting and killing Da Ming's ships.

"Greedy Ming people actually disagree with my proposal. Isn't it good for us to divide India peacefully?"

Thinking that the proposal he sent to Ceylon to carve up India not long ago was ruthlessly rejected by the Ming people, he was very annoyed, wishing he could lead his fleet to Ceylon now and teach the Ming people a lesson.

But reason told him that the Ming people were not easy to mess with. Among other things, there were a lot of ships from the Ming people on Ceylon Island alone, and the artillery of the Ming people was very sharp.

On the American side, the news that the Ming people and the Spaniards had joined forces to wipe out the colonies of the European countries in the Americas had also spread back to Europe. The European countries were outraged, and they were all uniting to send troops to Spain.

But the Ming people's powerful artillery and force, advanced warships and navigation technology also impressed the Europeans.

"It's our bottom line to carve up India from east to west. They dare to reach out to the Goa area. They must teach the Ming people some lessons and let them know how powerful we Portuguese are, otherwise, they will only make progress."

"Goa's geographical location is too important, the mouth of three rivers, a natural high-quality harbor."

"The ships in my hands can kill their ships, but there is no way to kill their people on land. It seems that we still have to find a way to provoke conflicts between the Daming people, Cochin, and Kuelung people, and let them attack on land. In this way, all these Daming people can be driven out."

Da Gama thought carefully, sowing discord, which is also a trick he has always used.

For example, in India, he kept provoking conflicts between Indians, Middle Easterners, and Persians in various regions, and thus used this contradiction to expel and defeat the Middle Easterners and Persians, monopolizing the spice trade here.

Now he is going to use this tactic again to let the local aborigines deal with the Ming people who came here.

It's just that his abacus was clinking, but he didn't estimate his own strength clearly.

"It's not good~ It's not good~"

Someone came to Da Gama's office in a hurry and roared anxiously.

"What happened?"

Da Gama said lightly, what else can happen here in India?
"Da Ming people, Daming people's boats, many Daming people's boats surrounded and blocked our Guli Port."

The visitor said hurriedly.

"what?"

When Da Gama heard it, he was stunned immediately, and then hurriedly walked outside.

But before he walked a few steps, there was a rumbling sound of shelling, and then accompanied by waves of whistling, shells poured towards Guli City.

"Boom~"

The shells slammed heavily on the buildings in Guli City, on the ground, and on the Portuguese ships moored in the harbor.

　Regarding Da Gama, it is clearly recorded in history that he was very arrogant, violent and brutal, and he was a complete robber, but such a person was written into the history textbook~~
