Chapter 830, how can you see death without saving?
On the vast sea, a large ship was riddled with scars, and you could clearly see the traces of the cannonballs on it. The many Ming people on the ship were all very angry, looking at the pursuers behind them.
The three Portuguese warships were gnashing their teeth.
"You damn European devils, if this ship is a battleship, I will send you all into the sea."
Ding Kui, the captain of the Shushan, looked at the three Portuguese warships chasing behind him and couldn't help but curse.
This time, he helped the King of Shu transport his troops to Goa in Western Tianzhu. The King of Shu planned to establish his own private colony and establish his own vassal state in Goa.
Unexpectedly, he encountered strong opposition and hostility from the Portuguese. The unprepared King of Shu was trapped in Goa and sent Ding Kui to Ceylon Island to ask for help from the Ming Dynasty.
Unexpectedly, they were chased by three more Portuguese warships. After this pursuit, the Shushan was almost beaten into pieces. Eight people died on board, and more than a dozen crew members were injured.
Ding Kui cursed. He really lost money on this trip to his grandma's house. He didn't make much money. The ship he spent a lot of money to buy was already scarred. Even if he could return to Ceylon, it would cost a lot of money to repair it.
of silver.
What's more important is that the brothers on his ship are all his own people, brothers from his own tribe. Eight people died and more than a dozen were injured. After returning home, I don't know how to explain it to my family.
"Ge Lao Tzu's~"
"I'm going to get a dozen artillery pieces later and blow your Portuguese Gulidu into ruins."
Ding Kui cursed.
"Huh~"
"Boom~"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the Portuguese warship behind him fired again, and projectiles flew one after another, raising huge water columns on the sea.
"Ma Dan, don't let me return to Ceylon Island. Then we will see how I, Ming, deal with you."
Ding Kui cursed again, but he was extremely anxious in his heart. If this continues, if he is unlucky, he may be sunk soon.
Our own is a merchant ship, and the opponent's is a warship. We don't have an advantage in speed, and the number of artillery on our ship is too few. They are all old artillery, not the Miyun cannon used by the Ming Dynasty army.
"Captain, there are many ships, our Ming Dynasty ships~"
At this time, the lookout man on the mast shouted excitedly downwards. When Ding Kui heard this, he immediately became excited.
I quickly took out my telescope and took a look, and soon I saw a huge fleet of huge ships between the water and the sky. The Ming Dynasty Dragon Flag hanging on them was very eye-catching.
"Haha, it's our Ming Dynasty's fleet. We can be saved. We can be saved~"
Ding Kui immediately laughed happily.
"Send them a distress message immediately~"
"Yes~"
…
On the deck of the Ning Wang, Ning Wang, Liu Yangzheng and others looked at the sea area ahead with telescopes, clearly seeing the situation in the sea area ahead.
"Your Majesty, do we want to help?"
Li Shishi thought for a while and asked King Ning next to him.
"What do you think?"
Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao pondered and asked.
"Your Majesty, I think we'd better not act rashly."
"The other side has three warships. Once there is a firefight, we will definitely suffer losses at that time. Our ships are hard-earned. Losing one will not only cost a lot of money, but also many people will die."
Liu Yangzheng thought for a while and shook his head and said: "Judging from the current situation, these Portuguese are not easy to mess with. In the future, when we establish a vassal state on the east coast of Africa, we will definitely have to deal with these Portuguese. If we offend them, we will be treated badly in the future."
It’s extremely detrimental.”
"What is this nonsense?"
"We watched our compatriots in the Ming Dynasty being hunted down and stood idly by. If word of this gets out, who will help the prince in the future?"
"The Portuguese are not easy to mess with, so are we Ming people easy to mess with?"
When Dong Lin next to him heard this, he immediately became angry. He was born in Tianjin Maritime Academy, but he was instilled with the idea of unity. When making a life at sea, there will always be difficulties when you encounter difficulties. Naturally, everyone should help each other if they can.
, not to mention that now we are still seeing our own people being chased and killed. There is nothing to say. We must help and repair these Portuguese people severely.
"It doesn't concern us at all~"
"And didn't you say that the Portuguese have more than twenty warships in Guli?"
"Of course we are not afraid of the three ships in front of us, but if we anger them, what happens when they all come out to deal with us?"
"Your Majesty is going to Africa for a great cause. How can it be delayed because of this matter? What's more, isn't your Majesty here going to be placed under a dangerous wall?"
"Once the prince makes a mistake, can you bear the responsibility?"
Liu Yangzheng said sternly. After all, he is still a traditional Ming Dynasty scholar. He has always been cautious in this regard. To put it harshly, he is afraid of getting into trouble.
"Why do we have so many ships? There are more than thirty warships alone. Even if the Portuguese come out in force, we don't have to be afraid of them."
"I can't do such a thing if I don't save my own people in trouble on the sea. Now that the news has spread, do you believe that no one will transport even a grain of grain to the prince in the future?"
Dong Lin was angry. There were actually such people who were so cowardly and fearful of death. They were also extremely indifferent and would not save anyone even in the face of death.
"Your Majesty, I think Mr. Dong is right."
"No matter what, this is my Ming Dynasty. If you haven't seen it, forget it. If you encounter it, of course you will help."
"Although the Portuguese are not easy to mess with, are we Ming people afraid of them?"
"And because we will inevitably have to deal with the Portuguese in the future, I think we should give the Portuguese a good beating to let them know how powerful we are, so that they will not dare to do anything to us in the future."
"In addition, the King of Shu is also a member of the Ming Dynasty royal family. According to his seniority, he is still your uncle. If your uncle is in trouble, you cannot just sit idly by. Otherwise, once this reputation spreads, it will be extremely detrimental to the prince."
Li Shishi thought for a while and then slowly spoke.
"Well, I think so too. No matter what, if one of your own is in trouble, you must help. If Uncle Shu Wang is in trouble, you should help even more."
Prince Ning thought for a while and nodded, then said: "Send the order to sink these three Portuguese ships, attack Guli, bombard Guli, teach the Portuguese a lesson, and let them know how powerful we Ming people are.
Uncle King Shu dares to bully you."
"Yes~"
When Dong Lin heard this, he nodded excitedly.
Prince Ning still did not disappoint him. If he listened to Liu Yangzheng, Dong Lin would definitely find an opportunity to leave directly. Such a person was simply not worthy of his service.
"Your Majesty~"
Liu Yangzheng wanted to say something else, but Prince Ning waved his hand to signal him not to say any more.
Soon, the flag soldiers on the 'Ning Wang' began to pass orders.
At the front of the fleet, warships were already ready for war. As King Ning's order was conveyed, warships immediately began to rush towards the rescue of the 'Shushan'.
.
"shit~"
"It turns out to be the Ming Dynasty's fleet. It's so large, how come there are so many ships."
On the other side, the three Portuguese ships that were chasing the Shushan finally discovered the mighty King Ning's fleet on the sea. Desillas, who was in charge of commanding the three warships, couldn't help but cursed.
Just a few clicks can sink this ship.
Once the news of the Portuguese attacking the Ming people in Goa spreads, they will inevitably be retaliated by the Ming people. The Ming people are very powerful, and they all know this now.
On the Island of Ceylon alone, the power possessed by the people of the Ming Dynasty is already very powerful, and this is just the power of one trading house in the Ming Dynasty.
"Are these ships coming to support the Goa region?"
"I heard that there is a great Ming noble among the Ming people in Goa. Now we are in trouble."
"I told Vasco da Gama a long time ago that the Ming people are not easy to mess with. I told him not to mess with the Ming people for the time being. Goa can be occupied by them. Here in India, our power is limited and we cannot defeat the Ming people.
of."
"He just refused to listen. He felt that the Ming Dynasty was just showing off. Now they just casually sent such a huge fleet over. We can't defeat them at all."
Desilias looked carefully at the huge fleet on the sea, and he could see that the battleship at the front was heading towards him rapidly, and the cannons on both sides of the ship could be seen in the air.
"Withdraw~"
There was no further hesitation, he was no match for the huge fleet in front of him, and wise evacuation was the way to go.
However, as soon as he gave the order to retreat, billows of white smoke rose from the Ming warships on the distant sea, and shells roared towards him.
"shit~"
Desilia immediately couldn't help but cursed again.
Then he was slightly shocked, because this time the artillery used by the Ming Dynasty had such a far range, which was several times that of his Portuguese artillery. He had never encountered an artillery with such a long range.
"Dong~dong~"
Accompanied by the rumbling sound of artillery, projectiles roared in one after another, creating water columns in the waters where the three Portuguese warships were.
"Haha, you have today too~"
"Kill you sons of bitches, European devils. Now your good days are here."
On the 'King of Shu', Ding Kui couldn't help shouting happily when he saw the scene in front of him.
Cool~
Let you chase me, chase me all the way.
"Turn around. If I don't watch you being sent into the sea to feed the bastards, my surname will not be Ding!"
Then Ding Kui also gave a very decisive order. He had suppressed his anger. The people who were being chased were all angry. What could he do if he didn't kill them and come back?
