My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 740 Port Adan changes ownership (Part [-])
  On the vast and boundless sea, a large-scale fleet moved forward quickly. The tall and sharp bow cut through the waves and pointed directly at the faintly visible land ahead.

"Ahead is the Adan Kingdom, which is also our first stop. Our navy will take the lead then. Brother Zhu, you will be responsible for landing and occupying the port. We will provide you with artillery support..."

Zhang Zhong stood on the bow of the ship, pointed to the land ahead and said to Zhu Yong beside him.

Beizheng Port is not too far from Adan. The distance from Beizheng Port to Adan is about the same as to Lion Port. Therefore, after half a month of sailing, the Adan Kingdom is already in sight.

Zhu Yong was holding a telescope and looking at the Adan Port in the distance. He saw a port lying across the dark land, with ships coming and going from time to time. Although it was a good port, it was far from being comparable to Beizheng. Compared to Hong Kong.

"No problem. According to the intelligence, the main force of Adang Port is actually the navy. Apart from the navy, the land force is not strong. As long as we can land, it shouldn't be a problem to capture them!"

Zhu Yong put down the telescope, patted his chest and promised.

Before setting off, Zhu Zhanhe made complete preparations for them, the most important of which was intelligence collection. Regarding Adan's military strength, Jin Yiwei had already investigated clearly, so Zhu Yong and Zhang Zhong also did the same this time. Coming prepared, the two of them can be said to be confident in winning this place.

The fleet was getting closer and closer to the port, and Zhang Zhong also ordered all warships to prepare for battle.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a fleet of ships came forward in Adang Port.

Zhang Zhonggang thought it was Adan's navy at first, so he was about to give the order to fire, but he saw the boats coming from the opposite side were singing and dancing, and there were even people playing and playing. It didn't look like they were fighting, but like they were coming to greet them. .

"Where did this come from?"

Zhu Yong was a little confused when he looked at the group of ships that came to greet them. He even wondered if this was sent by the Adan people to paralyze them deliberately?
  "I understand. Back then, Zheng Neigong's fleet had docked at Adang Port many times. Our warships were similar to Zheng Neigong's warships and were about the same size, so they thought we were Zheng Neigong's warships. The Western fleet!"

Zhang Zhong suddenly reacted and said.

When Zheng He went to the Western Ocean, he stopped at Adan Port many times. Moreover, the Adan Kingdom sent envoys to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty and brought back generous rewards many times. Therefore, the Adan Kingdom not only had no hostility towards the Ming Dynasty's fleet, but also brought back generous rewards. On the contrary, I am very much looking forward to it.

Zhang Zhong's warships are exactly the same as those of the Ming Dynasty. Although the flags are different, outsiders can't tell at all. That's why the Adan Kingdom thought they were the Ming Dynasty's fleet going to the West. Naturally, they didn't take any precautions and even sent people Greeted at departure port.

"I see, but this makes me embarrassed to use troops against them!"

Zhu Yong slapped his forehead, and then said half seriously and half jokingly.

"In the past, there was no conflict of interest between the Ming Dynasty and the Adan Kingdom, so they could naturally live in peace with each other. However, we are here with a mission. We must not be lenient. At most, after taking over the Adan Kingdom, we should try our best to treat the people here as kindly as possible!"

Zhang Zhong said very coldly, no matter how enthusiastic the people of the Adan Kingdom were, they would not change his mind. Who made the bad position of the Adan Kingdom block the Han's expedition to Egypt.

"Then what should we do now, should we fall out directly or compromise?" Zhu Yong also nodded, and then asked Zhang Zhong.

"Since the other party welcomes our arrival, let's take advantage of this opportunity to paralyze them first, and then directly send troops to control their port after entering the port!"

Zhang Zhong quickly made a decision and said that the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. A good general must naturally know how to adapt to the situation and make appropriate changes.

Zhu Yong also agreed with Zhang Zhong's decision, so he immediately sent people to contact the other party's people, and pretended that he was the fleet from the Ming Dynasty. This time, he would need to rest for a while when entering the port, and conduct transactions with the Adan Kingdom.

The people of the Adan Kingdom were completely unprepared, because Zheng He came six times, and each time the fleet size was very large. To put it bluntly, the Adan Kingdom could be completely destroyed.

But Zheng He did not do this. Of course, the main reason was that the Adang Kingdom was relatively friendly and did not refuse Zheng He's fleet to enter the port. Moreover, the transactions between the two parties were very pleasant afterwards. Every time Zheng He's fleet arrived, it could bring benefits to Adang. Port Dan brought great wealth.

Therefore, the people of Adan Kingdom have been careless for a long time. Now they only think about trading with the "Ming Dynasty" fleet and making huge wealth. They have never thought about the danger.

Therefore, after the Adan Kingdom came into contact with Zhang Zhong's envoy, they happily led the way and led the fleet into the port. They even specially set aside a pier for Zhang Zhong and others to land.

So under this situation, Zhang Zhong and Zhu Yong entered Adang Port almost effortlessly. When the people at the port happily brought money and goods and prepared to trade with the fleet, Zhang Zhong and Zhu Yong's men The army finally showed its fangs.

First, Zhang Zhong suddenly ordered the ship's artillery to aim its muzzles at the dock. Then Zhu Yong led his Shenji Battalion to land, quickly controlled everyone on the dock, and took over the port.

During this period, the Adan people did not even react, so the Han army encountered little resistance. When the garrison at the Adan port wanted to resist, Zhu Yong's army had already arrived, and several rows of muskets came down. These Adamic armies also quickly surrendered.

The port fell, and Zhu Yong then led the army to kill the city behind the port. At this time, the officials of the Adan Kingdom finally reacted, but it was already too late.

Zhu Yong led the army to the palace, quickly defeated the palace defenders, and entered the palace to capture the king of Adan.

What people didn't expect was that King Adan's wife and children were all here, but the king was missing. So Zhu Yong immediately sent people to search the whole city, hoping to find the whereabouts of King Adan. As a result, after searching several times, , but found nothing.

At the same time, King Nasir of Adan took a merchant ship and quietly sailed away from the port of Adan from another direction under the protection of a close general.

When Zhu Yong's army entered the palace, Na Si'er was not at the palace because he heard that the Ming Dynasty's fleet to the West was coming again, so he was very happy and prepared to take people to greet him in person. However, when he was halfway there, he suddenly I was told that the Ming Dynasty's fleet suddenly sent troops to control the port and headed towards the city.

Na Si'er wanted to resist, but Zhu Yong moved too fast and quickly captured some key positions in the palace and the city. Na Si'er saw that the situation was over and had no choice but to flee to the sea.
