The blue sky is cloudless, and a fleet of more than one hundred ships is sailing on the vast sea. Nearly half of this fleet is a cargo ship with deep draft and big belly for transportation purposes. Only the two ends of the fleet are pointed-headed clutches and multi-masted sailboats for combat. They are the fleet led by Liu Xiang that defected to the Ming Dynasty court.

The ship Liu Xiang was riding was a big bourgeois ship sailing at the front of the fleet. This big bourgeois ship was not only the largest in the fleet, but also equipped with three artillery guns at the bow and stern. It is the most powerful firepower in the entire fleet, and it is also the flagship of the entire fleet.

Today, Liu Xiang was wearing a light gray short-fitting jacket on her upper body, a leather armor on her outside, loose trousers on her lower body, a pair of straw sandals on her feet, a waist knife and a double-eyed musket hanging around her waist, and a ponytail she tied, she really looked particularly heroic.

Beside Liu Xiang was surrounded by more than a dozen leaders. Uncle Qin, who was most trusted by Liu Xiang, stood on Liu Xiang's left and asked with some concern: "Master, do you think that Jiang Ningbo would really be appointed as the deputy admiral of the Fujian Navy?"

"Yes!" Liu Xiang said with certainty: "Brother Jiang Ning personally promised me, and I also believe Boron Jiang Ning!"

Seeing Liu Xiang's face as if she was swearing, the man with a scarred face and a lion nose standing on the right was a little unhappy. However, he couldn't say anything at this time, while Li Hu, who had a scar on his face standing on the other side, said with some suspicion: "The boss, it's not that I'm talking too much. I just think that you have to be careful when dealing with officials, otherwise you will be troublesome if you suffer losses."

Before Liu Xiang could speak, the lion stared at her eyes and scolded, "Li Hu... Shut up, you are too brave. You dare to question the decision of the boss. Is there any rule?"

"Yes!" Li Hu, who was scolded, lowered his head and stopped talking.

Uncle Qin squinted his eyes and looked at the two of them but didn't say anything. The leaders beside him looked at each other for a few moments and no one said anything. Not everyone agreed with Liu Xiang's leadership of everyone to join Jiang Ningbo this time. After all, he was a pirate who was used to being free and easy, and suddenly he transformed into an officer and soldier who was subject to control. Not everyone could bear such a change. Liu Xiang only suppressed the different opinions of the following people with her prestige and some of her iron-core subordinates who supported her.

Although the opinions were suppressed, the most difficult thing to guess since ancient times is the hearts of people. Even with Liu Xiang's prestige, it is difficult to twist everyone's hearts into one rope.

The young man who scolded Li Hu with a lion nose just now was named Liu Yizhou. He is generous and extremely brave in combat. He rushed to the front line every time he fought. Therefore, he was highly valued by Liu Xiang and surrounded by some pirates. He has become the second major force in the Liu Xiang group except Liu Xiang.

This time, Liu Xiang wanted to surrender to Yang Feng, which was the most objection to him. But for some reason, Liu Yizhou would not directly refute Liu Xiang, but instead let his subordinate Li Hu stand up, while he was beating the side. Just like this just now, it could not only show his existence but also vaguely hit Liu Xiang's prestige, which was a killing two birds with one stone.

Liu Xiang also vaguely noticed Liu Yizhou's purpose, but she couldn't say anything. After all, it was Li Hu who opposed it. On the surface, Liu Yizhou also came forward to scold Li Hu, which made people unable to find any mistakes.

Uncle Qin, who was standing by, looked at Liu Yizhou with a cold look. Uncle Qin had been struggling on the sea for more than 20 years and had never seen anything. He could think of the wishful thinking in his mind. It was nothing more than thinking that he had already become rich and wanted to replace Liu Xiang's position. But so far, is he confident that he would overturn Liu Xiang to the ground and take the position of the boss himself, so he used this method to constantly attack Liu Xiang's prestige and make plans for the future.

Just as everyone was silent, the lookout hand on the mast suddenly shouted loudly: "The boss, there are ships ahead, they are heading towards us, so fast!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Did Zheng Zhilong know that the news was leaked and he sent a fleet to intercept it?

When everyone thought of this, they couldn't help but feel a little panicked. You should know that although they had more than a hundred ships, nearly half of them were transport ships without any armedness. The ships were not only full of their families, but also had extremely slow speeds. If they were stopped by Zheng Zhilong's warship, they would definitely not be able to escape.

Liu Xiang took a deep breath and immediately shouted: "Uncle Qin!"

"Here!" Uncle Qin, who was beside him, responded loudly and stood up and bowed to Liu Xiang, "Please give me the order!"

"Uncle Qin, you should lead the left guard to face him immediately. You must not let the ship in front approach our transport ship!"

"I understand!" Uncle Qin responded loudly, then strode towards the side, preparing to take a boat to his car to command the battle.

After watching Uncle Qin leave, Liu Xiang turned his eyes to the side and said, "Liu Yizhou!"

"exist!"

Liu Yizhou also stood up.

"Liu Yizhou, you lead the right guard to the back of the ship in front and attack the left guard forward and back. Even if you die, you must not let our transport ship suffer any damage."

"yes!"

Liu Yizhou responded helplessly. He was a smart man, so he naturally knew that if the person who came was Zheng Zhilong, the other party would have made complete preparations. He would probably have to prepare for major casualties in this attack. However, he could not refuse. If he dared to say half of the word, he would be the enemy of all his brothers.

Just when Liu Yizhou was so depressed, the lookout hand on the mast sent another message, "The boss, the one who came was not Zheng Zhilong's man, the sun and moon flag was hung on the bow of the ship. They were Ming army!"

"Ming Jun?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Does the Ming army have a naval division? Of course, there is not none. For example, there is an inland waters in Nanjing. However, the broken ships of this navy can only block merchant ships on the Yangtze River to collect some protection fees. If you really want to run to the sea with high winds and high waves, you may have to overturn into the sea if you encounter a slightly larger wave. So what is the Ming army fleet in front?

"Is this a trap for Jiang Ningbo? Is he trying to encircle and annihilate his people in the maritime business?"

Liu Xiang's heart skipped a beat, and a worst thought surged in his heart, but then he thought about it, and this thought was quickly thrown behind her. If Yang Feng really wanted to deal with them, there would be no need to be so troublesome. As long as their fleet approached the dock, thousands of officers and soldiers surrounded them. With the powerful combat power of the Jiangning Army, he would probably not have to be swearing and annihilation.

"How many boats have they come?" Liu Xiang asked again.

The lookout hand replied: "Three ships...they have three ships!"

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. If it were only three ships, then these Ming troops would definitely have no malice and should have come to greet them.

More than twenty minutes later, Liu Xiang's fleet came to meet with the Ming army that greeted them. However, when they saw these three Ming army warships, everyone was shocked again.

Uncle Qin, who returned to the time, looked at the three warships coming towards him and said in surprise: "This... what's going on? The Ming army's warships have always been dominated by the Tie Cang Ship and the Fu Ship. How can these three warships look like the warships of the Flang Jimen and the Spanish, and why are these warships so big?"

Liu Xiang also frowned slightly, and her little mouth showed her white teeth because she opened her mouth slightly. The Ming Navy actually used the warships of the Folang Jiren and the Spanish. What's going on? And it seems that the three warships were not small. The largest ship in the leader was at least a large ship of 4,000 materials. This is terrible. As far as Liu Xiang knows, 4,000 materials were extremely rare in the entire Ming Dynasty and even in the South China Sea. Where did the Ming Dynasty get this big ship?

Countless questions rose in Liu Xiang's heart, but now is not the time to say this. When three Ming warships approached, the lookout hand on the mast loudly reported in an excited tone: "Boss, the Ming army's fleet sent flags. The Fujian Navy Admiral Lu Guangbiao came to greet us in person, let us follow us and enter the port!"

"Okay!" Liu Xiang said crisply: "Send the flag immediately and say we will obey the order."

"yes!"

After receiving the flag utterance from Liu Xiang's fleet, the three Ming Navy's warships all set up a beautiful arc and turned the bow and headed towards the way.

Looking at the three Ming warships leading the way in front, Liu Yizhou's eyes contacted Li Hu and the leaders beside him, and everyone noticed that their faces were filled with depression.

Originally, they thought that although Jiang Ningbo rebuilt the Fujian Navy, it was not a matter of one day or one night. Without four or five years, it was undoubtedly a dream to rebuilt the Navy. At least it was not a simple matter to build a fleet. During this period, the Ming Dynasty had no available fleet except them. In this way, they could bargain with the Jiang Ningbo with the strength they had in their hands. But they never thought that the two sides gave themselves a warning as soon as they met. The other party clearly told them that the navy of the Ming Dynasty still existed, and the court's warships were even more advanced and larger than theirs.

Liu Yizhou can see this problem, and Liu Xiang and Uncle Qin can naturally see it, but in Liu Xiang's opinion, there is nothing wrong with Ming Jun's actions. If she was Yang Feng, she would reveal the assets in her hands and let them see it. Don't think that you can't play anymore after you leave. Not only do I have a boat, but I am better than yours.

In the different moods of everyone, the fleet led by Liu Xiang followed the Ming army's warship and finally arrived at the port of Xiamen. When Liu Xiang and his group got off the boat and stepped onto the dock, the scene they saw surprised everyone...
