Chapter 887 Revenge
The Lin Afeng that Chen Mu wanted to find was actually not far away from him.

In other words, Lin Afeng's subordinates are not far away from him.

In the summer of the sixth year of Wanli, the capital of the Han Kingdom established by Lin Feng was destroyed by Safi. In the same year, Lin Feng, the king of the Han Dynasty, was conferred by the eunuch Zhang Jing, an envoy sent by the Wanli Emperor, and officially recognized the Han Kingdom as a vassal of the Ming Dynasty. Found in the Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean.

The place of canonization is Madagascar.

As for the tribal kingdom on the island, it seemed that the little eunuch Zhang Jing was not in his consideration. He was frightened by Lin Feng's posture.

The little eunuch who is the emperor's confidant in the palace is not someone who has never seen the world, no matter whether he has seen a lot of Wu eunuchs or the Beiyang army, but he is a serious soldier, not to mention that as the emperor's confidant eunuch, he will not have much trouble with ordinary soldiers. Fear.

But Lin Feng's troops are different. The most soldier-like army in the Han Dynasty is Yang Ce's department directly under Lin Feng, but Yang Ce's troops are on the west coast of Africa, and the people who greet him are all serious pirates. These people are on the coast of Daming Everyone was looking at Zhang Jing as if they were looking at a harmless animal. Except for Lin Feng, who cares about his life?
And Lin Feng felt that he had lost face. When he caught up with the canonization of the emperor, the capital was lost, and he refused to let Zhang Jing go. He forced the emperor's trusted eunuch to serve as a supervisor in the Arabian Sea.

In fact, Lin Feng didn't leave Zhang Jing for the sake of being wild or to show Emperor Wanli how powerful he is. Lin Feng knew this very well in his heart. No matter how good the country he built by the leader of wild pirates was, it was not as good as Daming's relatives. The son of the Western Army.

Daming would not give him much support, it would be nice not to attack Han.

His real intention of keeping Zhang Jing is to support the two families with one hand, while using the guise of Zhang Jing and Emperor Wanli to make way for the Western Fleet that is rampant in the Arabian Sea; Consolidate its precarious position within the Han Dynasty.

Although the kings still respected Lin Feng and did not stop at rebelling against him, the rest of the kings were not optimistic about taking back the capital and going to war with Persia. The regiment stood together under the banner of the Han Dynasty.

In Lin Feng's view, this is a crisis.

A single pirate king can plunder all directions, but no one has the ability to rule the ocean or even take food from the nations. Only when they get together can they bark their teeth at the overlord of the sea.

Earlier, Lin Feng had the idea of ​​fighting Ottoman or Safi Persia. At that time, the kings thought he was crazy, but Lin Feng firmly believed that they needed to fight a war.

He said: "What's the point of always robbing at sea? Merchants know that this commercial route is not safe, so they will no longer sail from here, and they will starve to death in the future. It is the right way to set up checkpoints and tax collections at various sea ports in other countries. "

However, the price to achieve this goal is too high. They must go to war with the overlord of this sea area and win the war before they can force other countries to accept their taxes.

The outcome of the war is put aside first. The most difficult thing is not to defeat others at sea and burn down several cities on land. or on the coast of Persia.

Yin Zhengmao was able to piss off these pirate kings. Whenever the Flying Shark was spotted by the Western Fleet at sea, it would be immediately expelled by bombardment.

Once the Western Fleet is defeated, Han's supplies will be completely cut off, not to mention Yin Zhengmao, who is rich and powerful, cannot be defeated.

This made the kings of the Han Kingdom, including Lin Feng, very concerned about Mr. Yin's physical condition. What disappointed them was that Yin Zhengmao seemed to be free from illness and disaster.

The agent of the Han Dynasty stationed in Goa reported that Yin Zhengmao, the Minister of Western Affairs, was 65 years old, and he was always slapping horses and wielding knives in the yard to exercise in the early morning before dawn. Do you think it is annoying?

Dan Wang Li Mao said it well: "I just want to be rich for a while, and wash my hands after robbing the North Arabian Sea. The money is enough to spend ten lifetimes, so what will I do in the future?"

So don't worry about how angry Lin Feng was at Safi Persia's destruction of the Western Great City. In fact, he was very grateful to Persia in his heart. Destroying the Western Great City made it possible for him to unite the kings to fight against Persia.

Lin Feng's strategy was extremely clear. He slashed at Madagascar with the first blow, and used all kinds of excuses to stroke and attack all summer, to control all the tribal kingdoms in the north of the big island, search for gold, silver, coal, lead, mica, gems, and graphite, and sell them all at The merchants of the Ming Dynasty from Goa practiced soldiers on the island, repaired weapons, made flying sharks, and prepared to do a big job.

At the same time, he sent people to the east to contact Yin Zhengmao to buy weapons, ships and cannons; on the other hand, he sent people to the west to recruit Yang Ce to lead his army back.

Of course, he also blackmailed Osman a sum of money for employment. This year, Osman tore up the contract signed with Safi 23 years ago, repaired the city of Kars, and sent a large army into the north of Georgia controlled by Safi Persia. Naturally, Lin Feng would not Missing this opportunity, the Ottoman envoy of the Western Army informed the Sudan that his people could contain Persia in the south, and the two sides hit it off.

However, Lin Feng was not honest. After Osman's commission was delivered, he did not launch an attack, but watched the war situation until the winter was ready.

His warships have been built in sevens and eights a long time ago, and the destruction of Xida City did not cause much loss to his men and ships. In fact, whether Lin Feng is ready depends on whether the Persian troops have assembled northward, and it also depends on Is the Ottoman offensive ferocious?

Lin Feng treated Persia very righteously. After all, Zhang Jing was present. He wanted to be able to live with the emperor. The procedure was very good. When Qiu heard that two troops from the south of Persia were dispatched to the north, he immediately dispatched them to the coast of Persia. Call to arms, tell them that I am going to beat you. This has nothing to do with the Western Army of Ming Dynasty. Lao Tzu is the king of Han. This war is to avenge you for destroying our capital.

The transferred army came back again, but Lin Feng didn't move.

In October, Lin Feng still didn't move.

In November, Lin Feng still did not move.

At the end of November, the returning army was halfway again.

In December, Lin Feng mobilized a large army, dispatched more than [-] flying shark warships and blessing boats, assembled more than [-] troops including Yang Ce's troops, and rushed to the southern coast of Safi Persia. Annihilate its scattered patrol fleet scattered on the sea, and then go straight to the important seaport where the fleet is stationed.

On the strait guarding the Persian Gulf, Hormuz, which was occupied by the Portuguese, and the mouth of Safi in the north, in the naval battle against the Portuguese and the Safi Persian fleet, Lin Afeng used [-] barrels of Sichuan fierce fire obtained from Ottoman Turn the enemy's water village into a sea of ​​flames.

Immediately afterwards, the pirates attacked the northern land, pushed the artillery and blasted away the neglected desert towns, and won a brilliant victory.

After looting the town and driving away all the people, Lin Feng, who was blocked by the desert, lost the ability and desire to continue attacking. He set an eye for an eye and burned the coastal town to the ground.

I haven't forgotten to set up a stele on the coast to record my achievements.
