Han Du's voice was slow and steady, and he said: "After I found the hometown of these people overseas, I found out that they have their headquarters overseas. Although I rushed to their hometown, I don't know why these people actually
When I got the news, I evacuated in advance."
"Evacuated?" Zhu Di was immediately shocked. Such a group of daring people were not wiped out, but were calmly evacuated?
"That's right." Han Du sighed slightly, shook his head helplessly and said, "When I found their lair, the building was already empty, and they evacuated very calmly."
"Where can they retreat to?" Zhu Di frowned deeply.
Han Du chuckled and sighed, "It's hard to describe how cunning these people are. It was only later that I discovered that they withdrew to Nanyang and easily took over the Kingdom of Java. They almost managed to hide it from me at the beginning."
When Han Du thought about it now, he couldn't help but break out in thick cold sweat on his back. Everything seemed normal in Java at that time. If he hadn't been extra careful, those people would have been able to hide it.
"Controlled the Kingdom of Java?" Zhu Di took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice, "Is this the reason why you led the navy to attack the Kingdom of Java despite the obstruction?"
If Zhu Di was still doubtful when Han Du said those people wanted to seize the opportunity to control the Ming Dynasty by causing chaos in the world, then now the bloody facts are before his eyes, and he cannot tolerate disbelief.
Although the Kingdom of Java is too small compared to the Ming Dynasty, these people were able to control the Kingdom of Java in such a short time on the way to escape. If they plan carefully, it is not impossible to control the Ming Dynasty. .??.
"That's right." After Han Du nodded lightly, he continued, "After conquering Java, these people knew that they were exposed, so they asked the Javanese soldiers to stop me, and they fled to the sea first. I also chased them all the way, and finally directly
Chase to America."
"It's a pity that these people were divided into two parts after they came to America. Most of them went south and continued to escape. Only one family chose to go north, and I finally caught them."
After listening to Han Du's words, Zhu Di asked solemnly, "A family? How many people are there in total?"
"Six families." Han Du said.
Zhu Di glanced at Han Du in surprise and asked eagerly, "In other words, five more families have escaped?"
"Yes."
"Where did they escape to?" Zhu Di immediately asked. Who are these people? These are simply five big nests of poisonous snakes! When Zhu Di thought of these poisonous snakes who didn't know where they were hiding, his scalp went numb.
Han Du didn't care and said, "There are not many places they can go, that is, here in America and the Eastern Islands."
Having said this, Han Du pondered for a moment and said in a daze, "Can they still go to Europe?"
"Where is Europe?" Zhu Di looked at Han Du and asked, having a bad premonition in his heart.
"It's just east of America, separated by just one sea."
Zhu Di's heart suddenly tightened and he quickly asked, "Is there someone over there?"
"Not only are there people, but there are dozens of countries, including some powerful ones." Han Du sighed slightly. "The Byzantine Empire was able to compete with the Timurid Empire for many years. Although the Ming Dynasty defeated the Timurid Empire,
But he whipped the Byzantine Empire
Too late."
Zhu Di of the Timurid Empire knew this, and he also knew about it back then. He was able to raise hundreds of thousands of troops and march thousands of miles to attack the Ming Dynasty. If nothing else, this alone could support the ability of hundreds of thousands of troops to march thousands of miles.
It is enough to be called a big country like the Ming Dynasty.
Although the Timur Empire failed in this expedition, it was not defeated by the Ming Dynasty, but Timur died!
But even after losing Timur's empire, the Ming Dynasty attacked from both sea and land, and it took several years to finally defeat Timur.
The Byzantine Empire was able to maintain a stalemate with Timur for decades, and its strength was obviously not much worse than that of Timur.
"Do you think it is possible for these people to go to the Byzantine Empire?" Zhu Di narrowed his eyes and stared at Han Du and asked.
Han Du pondered for a moment and nodded heavily, "It's very possible! These people are like dodders. The closer they are to the big tree, the better their lives will be. If they have a choice, they will definitely not choose a small country, but only one."
A big country."
With that said, Han Du glanced at Zhu Di and said with a smile, "You don't have to worry. Even if they go to the Byzantine Empire, they are not close to America. It is unlikely that they will turn around and cause trouble for you."
Zhu Di was indeed relieved after hearing Han Du's words, but he still cursed at Han Du fiercely, "How can you guarantee that they won't turn around and come back?"
Han Du narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhu Di, laughing in his heart, I promise you shit! Anyway, even if these people turn around, you Zhu Di will definitely be the first to bear the brunt. They will only cause trouble for you and not me. I promise.
What?
Seeing that the teacher and Zhu Di were about to quarrel again, Yu Qian quickly interjected, "Maybe they may not have gone to the Byzantine Empire."
"What do you mean?" Han Du turned his head to look at his disciple, frowning.
Zhu Di also looked at Yu Qian, not understanding what he wanted to say.
Yu Qian took a deep breath, stretched out his hand and gestured to Zhu Zhanji, "This time I and Your Highness met some pirates in the south of the mainland."
When Zhu Zhanji saw Grandpa Huang's eyes immediately turned to him, he nodded quickly and said, "Yes, my grandson didn't have time to report to Grandpa Huang. This time, my grandson was ambushed by thousands of pirate ships in the south, and two warships were lost."
The boat got rid of them and managed to escape back."
"Thousands of warships?" Zhu Di took a breath and couldn't help asking, "Are you sure these are pirates?"
Zhu Zhanji lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "Sun'er doesn't think they are pirates either. Not only do they have more than a thousand warships, but they also have cannons installed on their warships!"
"Cannon!" Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zhanji in shock, unable to believe what he heard.
Installing cannons on warships is almost a unique technology of the Ming Dynasty. Although on the surface it seems very simple to put cannons on warships, you can just move them on.
But the issues involved are very complicated. First of all, the load capacity of the warship is limited. Apart from food and water for the soldiers, the remaining load capacity is very little.
The cannon itself is not only very heavy, but also has gunpowder, shells and other things. If you want to install the cannon on a warship, not only the load capacity of the warship must be large enough, but also the weight of the cannon must be as light as possible, so that it can
Install more cannons.
It is for these two reasons that each Xinming Navy warship can be equipped with hundreds of cannons. Han Du's voice was unhurried and he said, "I only found out about these people after I found their home base overseas.
The headquarters is located overseas. Although I rushed to their home base, I don’t know why these people even mentioned that they got the news and evacuated early."
"Evacuated?" Zhu Di was immediately shocked. Such a group of daring people were not wiped out, but were calmly evacuated?
"That's right." Han Du sighed slightly, shook his head helplessly and said, "When I found their lair, the building was already empty, and they evacuated very calmly."
