Ming Zuo

In the Battle of Bashi Channel, although no prisoners were captured, Zheng's pirates were severely damaged.

The merchant ships led by Guan Zhao joined forces with the Dutch warships and headed north hand in hand.

Their walking speed is very fast, and this situation must be reported.

Everyone understands that this battle is just an appetizer.

Something earth-shattering is bound to happen in the future.

The fleet bypassed Taiwan and entered the East China Sea, always in a state of combat readiness.

After all, this place still belongs to the Zheng family, and it is uncertain when it will be intercepted and killed by the Zheng family.

However, after walking for several days in a row, everything was calm, and Mrs. Zheng never appeared.

Although Guan Zhao didn't understand why Mrs. Zheng didn't come to retaliate, she was somewhat relieved.

"Report, there is a situation ahead."

The watchtower seemed to be specially provoking his nerves, warning him just when he was about to relax.

When Guan Zhao tensed his nerves, the lookout saw more clearly.

"There is a Haicang ship running towards this side, and a large number of warships are chasing after it, but there are no big ships."

Guan Zhao couldn't help being curious when he heard that they were not coming for him.

"Go up and have a look."

The Dutch warship next to it received the signal and also increased its speed.

It didn't take long for the situation directly ahead to be clearly revealed.

I saw a Haicang boat running away in embarrassment at a high speed, and a large number of Fuchuan and Haicang boats swarmed in behind, and the flag on it was Zheng's.

"Ready to fight."

Although Zheng's pirates did not hang up their flags during the Battle of Bashi Channel, Guan Zhao was not polite.

Although I don't know who is being pursued by Zheng Shi, but since I met him, it is my friend.

Zheng Shi, who was chasing, saw a fleet suddenly appearing in front of him, including Dutch warships. He couldn't help but panic and reduced the speed of the ships one after another.

And the Haicang boat that they were chasing saw the situation here, instead of slowing down, it approached even faster.

In order to avoid accidents, Guan Zhao gave an order.

"Let that ship approach slowly, dare to make any changes, and fire directly."

He is afraid of being cheated.

But the Haicang boat that ran over was very obedient, and it really slowed down.Not only that, there was another person who ran to the bow and kept waving to this side.

Through the binoculars, Guan Zhao saw the man's appearance clearly.

"Isn't that the owner of the Lin family's fleet?"

While speaking, the two sides approached, and they had reached the distance where they could speak.

"The one opposite is Brother Yaoguang?"

The man on the Haicang boat couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard the shout.

"But Director Guan?"

Now confirm your identity.

"It's one of us."

The merchant ship quickly threw out the claw hook to connect the two ships, and the people on the opposite ship couldn't wait to crawl over.

"Great, if I hadn't met you, I would have died."

Seeing Lin Jiahui's distressed appearance, Guan Zhao misunderstood a little.

"Brother Yaoguang, is this being robbed by the Zheng family?"

Lin Jiahui was impatient.

"Brother Guan, something serious happened."

Now he described his experience in detail.

When he heard that Lin Jiahui wanted to go to Nanyang via the Bashi Channel, he encountered a storm and drifted to Ryukyu halfway, and then discovered that Dongying had attacked Ryukyu and forced Ryukyu to become a vassal state.

"There are also Ryukyu envoys on my ship. The Ryukyu people are suffering from the oppression of Japan, and I desperately hope that the Shang Kingdom can send troops to rescue them."

Lin Jiahui asked An Ran to come too.

With the testimony of the Ryukyu natives, this matter can be described as conclusive evidence.

Guan Zhao's thoughts turned.

"I have no way of knowing what the higher-ups are thinking. However, if you want to use the style of the center, I'm afraid they won't sit idly by. No matter what, we have to report the situation."

"Director, Zheng's people have left."

The watchtower reported the situation.

Everyone quickly came back to their senses and looked into the distance.

I saw those Zheng's boats didn't rush over when they saw the situation here, but circled a big circle on the sea and went south.

"Strange, what are these people doing?"

After listening to Lin Jiahui's account, Guan Zhao found it strange that these Zheng's boats came from the north on their way back to Xia Kingdom.

But he didn't know that this Zheng's fleet going south was precisely Zheng Zhiwan and others heading for Dongying.

When the team sent out did not turn around, Zheng Zhiwan felt something was wrong.He didn't even notify Satsuma, and directly led the fleet back to Fujian.

As a result, they met Lin Jiahui and An Ran on the way.

Although I don't know what this lonely boat is for, but since I encountered it, in line with the nature of a pirate, I just robbed it.

Lin Jiahui and An Ran had no choice but to flee desperately in a boat.

Had it not been for the encounter with Guan Zhao's fleet, it would have been a disaster.

And Zheng Zhiwan saw the Dutch warships here, so he didn't dare to make extra troubles.Simply stay away from it, and return to Fujian is the only way to be serious.

Batavia and Dongying are separated by thousands of miles, Guan Zhao of course has no way of knowing the situation of Dongying, so he can't guess what this Zheng's fleet intends to do.

However, the situation in Bashi Strait and Ryukyu was all at stake, and he did not dare to delay.He sped up his speed again and headed all the way to Songjiang Mansion.

"It's from the Zheng family."

Shimadzu Jiuqing appeared in front of Shen Tingyang, avoiding all eyes and ears.

Shen Tingyang was neither surprised nor surprised by the sudden appearance of the senior middleman of the Satsuma clan.

"We already guessed."

"Fan Summer knows where they're hiding."

"Is this surrender? Doesn't the Satsuma clan hate Xia Guo?"

Hisazu Shimadzu obediently prostrated himself on the ground.

"Before the Satsuma clan didn't understand the situation, they were arrogant and arrogant, and they disobeyed the heaven and the kingdom. They really deserved their crimes. Now that they understand the general trend, they only hope to atone for their crimes."

Shen Tingyang didn't speak, but just stared at Shimazu Jiuqing.Let the other party pout their buttocks and assume the posture of sitting down.

Satsuma Fan's betrayal had already been planned for Xia Guo.

When deciding to attack Dongpu, Xia Guo had already collected enough information on the internal situation of Dongpu.

The delicate relationship between the Tokugawa shogunate and various daimyos is even more important.

Although in the Tsushima Sea Battle, Xia Guo severely damaged the Satsuma Domain, causing this powerful domain to fall into a slump and suffer heavy losses.But everyone knows that it is not Xia Guo, but the Tokugawa shogunate that can really destroy the Satsuma clan.

Sure enough, the Tokugawa shogunate took action quickly, not only killing Shimadzu Tadahiro, but also snatching Hyuga Kingdom from the hands of Satsuma.

Satsuma's territory has shrunk significantly, its navy has been completely lost, and its strength is not as good as before. It has reached a precarious situation.

They must be on guard at all times, the Tokugawa shogunate is pushing an inch.

But how to maintain it, the Satsuma clan is not sure at all.

They can only make false claims with the Tokugawa shogunate, and implement the orders of the Tokugawa shogunate without compromise.

Only then did they cover for Zheng's people and attack Xia Guo's transport ship.

But when the incident happened, Satsuma immediately realized that if effective remedial measures were not taken quickly, he might become a scapegoat.

At the time of life and death, they betrayed the Tokugawa shogunate without hesitation.

But in Shen Tingyang's view, the selling price was too cheap.

Because Xia Guo couldn't get more benefits from it.

He needs to think about where to start, so that Xia Guo can have enough food.
