Chapter five hundred and three trouble is big

When the Ming Navy, who was flying the Sun and Moon Flag, appeared in front of everyone, everyone, including Shi Daxuan, felt an unbelievable look in their hearts. This is Tsukuma Strait close to Fusang. How could the Ming Navy appear here?

"How is it possible? How could the Ming Navy appear here?"

Even though Shi Daxuan lived on the sea for decades, he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this situation. You should know that since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, except for Zheng He who had passed by the Tsushima Strait when he voyage to the West, he has never been here for the remaining two hundred years. Now, after more than two hundred years, the Ming Navy has appeared here again. Why?

Just as Shi Daxuan was thinking nervously, a barefoot mate in a wide cloth shirt hurried over and said to him stammeringly: "Shi's, this... this is not an ordinary Ming navy... he is... he is..."

Shi Daxuan was annoyed when he heard this and interrupted the first mate: "Bastard... What is the ordinary Ming Navy? Can the Ming Navy be divided into several types?"

The first mate blushed with anxiety and said, "Shi Dangjia, the one who came in front of him was the Fujian Navy... They are the Fujian Navy!"

"What...Fujian Navy?"

Shi Daxuan was shocked. He finally understood why the Ming Navy, who had never set foot in Tsushima Strait for more than two hundred years, appeared here again. However, he still asked with luck: "The Ming Navy all hung the sun and moon flags. How do you tell that they were from the Fujian Navy?"

The first mate gasped and said, "Shi Dangjia, a few days ago, I had followed the Dangjia to ambush the Fujian Navy near the Mazu Islands. I was very familiar with their warships, and the flag of the Fujian Navy is also easy to identify.

Although the Ming Navy hung the Sun and Moon Flags, the Sun and Moon Flags of the Fujian Navy were different from the ordinary Ming Navy. Their Sun and Moon Flags also had a red horizontal bar underneath. Moreover, the average Ming Navy was either a blessing ship or a Cangshan or a sea ship. Only the Fujian Navy's warships were all the styles of the barbarian warships. I had fought with them, and even if I closed my eyes, I would not admit my mistakes!"

At this moment, another sound of a lookout came from the mast: "The head of the country, there are sixteen Ming Navy warships coming in front of him, all of which are barbarian warships."

Hearing this, Shi Daxuan closed his eyes in pain. He knew that the Fujian navy in front was here to avenge. Of course, he knew that the brothers Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao, the second leader of the Zheng Group, led a fleet to attack the Second Fleet of the Fujian Navy. In that naval battle, Zheng Zhihu and his friends severely damaged the Second Fleet of the Fujian Navy at the cost of losing more than 20 series of ships and lucky ships, causing a warship in the Second Fleet to be severely damaged, and several warships were injured to varying degrees. The severely damaged warship was finally abandoned because of the great damage. Not to mention, the Second Fleet also lost hundreds of officers and soldiers. This revenge was a big deal, and now they must have been avenged.

What... How did Shi Daxuan know that the other party is here to take revenge? As long as his IQ is above the passing line, he should understand the other party’s purpose of coming to see so many warships coming, and he would never say hello to them.

Taking a deep breath, Shi Daxuan said to the eldest mate: "Immediately order all cargo ships to continue sailing along the original course, and all armed merchant ships and we will turn left immediately!"

The first mate was a little surprised for a moment: "What... the head of the family, let's ignore those cargo ships?"

Shi Daxuan turned around, stared at the first mate with a sharp look and shouted: "Responsibility... what are you going to do?"

"I..." The first mate just blurted out, but then he realized that since the Ming Navy came in full force, those cargo ships would definitely not be able to save them. Since this is the case, it would be better to give up them voluntarily. In this way, they might be able to save their lives by chance.

After thinking it through, the first mate immediately issued an order. The Daifuku ship that Shi Daxuan was riding and the remaining four armed merchant ships immediately abandoned the thirteen cargo ships, turned the bow and fled towards Nagasaki.

The actions of Shi Daxuan and others were immediately noticed by the oncoming Fujian Navy. They immediately divided ten warships and chased them, while the remaining six were scattered and surrounded the cargo ships.

"Shi Dangjia, those officers and soldiers are chasing us!" The lookout hand on the mast continued to report.

"I understand!" Shi Daxuan's voice almost spurted out from his teeth.

If someone was in the sky, he could see that on the vast sea, the Ming Navy, with the sun and moon flags hanging on the vast sea, was divided into two parts. One part was in a long snake formation and chased towards the five armed merchant ships that were fleeing, and the other part was scattered and surrounded the cargo ships.

Of course, if they dare to circumvent the warships like this, they would be seeking death. But now they are facing cargo ships with no ability to resist, so there is no taboo.

And the thirteen cargo ships loaded with slow cargo movements, after seeing the Ming Navy surrounded and fired two guns, they knew that the situation was hopeless and they wisely lowered the sails and stopped.

"Boom..."

The rumbling sound of cannons immediately alarmed the five armed merchant ships that were fleeing. Shi Daxuan, who had already arrived at the stern deck, saw through the Qianli Milestone that the cargo ships actually lowered their sails and stopped. The expression of distress on his face showed a look of heartache. The cargo of these more than ten ships is of great value, and now it has fallen into the hands of the Fujian Navy. The loss is too great.

"Baga... These damn cowards surrendered so quickly. The captains should have all apologized!"

At some point, Jiro Ishii got on the deck and came to Shi Daxuan's side, watching the cargo ships that lowered their sails and cursed.

Looking at Jiro Ishii who was so angry that his face turned blue, Shi Daxuan shook his head and said helplessly: "Ishiikun, this is the sea, not the land. Those cargo ships on the sea that are slow to act and have no armed capabilities are surrounded by warships. If you do not surrender, you should be very clear about what will happen. It is understandable that they do this."

"But... but the goods on it..." Jiro Ishii looked at the cargo ships with distress. The goods on it were obtained by Zheng Zhilong after much effort. This time he was about to sell them to Japan to make a lot of money. He never thought that it would be cheaper for the Ming Navy. If Zheng Zhilong knew about it, he would probably vomit blood with pain.

"No matter how important the goods are, they are not as important as the young master!" Shi Daxuan said in a deep voice: "If the young master falls into the hands of the Ming Navy, do you know what consequences will be."
