"Send the order, all artillery firepower is concentrated, destroy the propulsion system of the enemy ship!" Zhu Han's voice penetrated the din of the battlefield and reached the ears of every gunner.
After receiving the order, the gunners immediately adjusted their muzzles and aimed at the side of the pirate ship and the propeller blades to bombard them violently. With a series of deafening explosions, the propulsion systems of several pirate ships were damaged, their speeds dropped sharply, and some even began to float on the sea surface.
Spin up.
Seeing this, the pirates fought back even more frantically, but their offensive was already showing fatigue. Zhu Han took the opportunity to order: "The whole army listens to the order and takes advantage of the situation to pursue. We must annihilate this group of pirates!"
As Zhu Han's order was issued, the morale of the Ming fleet was greatly boosted, and the artillery fire became more intense. Small warships, under the leadership of General Li, flexibly shuttled among the pirate ships to conduct close-range boarding operations.
In this melee, Zhu Han always stood at the forefront and personally supervised the battle. His eyes were firm and cold, as if he could see every subtle change on the battlefield. He constantly observed the enemy's situation through the telescope and adjusted the tactical layout in time to ensure the success of the battle.
Proceed in an orderly manner.
"Mr. Wang, you will lead a part of the crew to treat the wounded and check the damage to the hull." Zhu Han did not forget to pay attention to logistics and medical support during the intense battle.
Mr. Wang took the order and quickly organized a medical rescue team to shuttle between the ships to provide timely treatment to the injured crew members. At the same time, he also personally inspected the damage to the hull to ensure that the ship could continue sailing.
As time went by, the resistance of the pirates became weaker and weaker. Under the leadership of General Li, the Ming Dynasty sailors fought bravely and captured the pirate ships one by one. The pirates were either dead or injured, or abandoned the ship to escape. There were scattered on the sea
Wrecks of pirate ships and floating supplies.
Seeing this, Zhu Han felt relieved. He picked up his telescope and scanned the battlefield for the last time to confirm that there were no missing pirate ships, and finally gave the order to stop the attack.
"Send the order, stop the bombardment, and clear the battlefield." Zhu Han's voice spread throughout the fleet through the horn.
Upon hearing this, the crew members stopped their weapons and began to clean up the battlefield, collect loot and treat the wounded. The sea gradually returned to calm, with only the occasional cheers and busy figures reminding people of the thrilling experience they had just experienced.

Zhu Han stood on the deck, looking at the sunset in the distance and the gradually calming sea, and his heart was filled with emotion.

"Your Majesty, we have won a complete victory in this battle, and all the pirates have been wiped out." General Li stepped forward, with a hint of pride and admiration in his tone.
Zhu Han nodded slightly and cast an approving look at General Li: "General Li, you and the soldiers fought bravely and skillfully, which is really a blessing to our Ming Dynasty. This battle not only demonstrated the strength of our Ming Dynasty's navy, but also protected the safety of the mission.
."
General Li bowed and saluted: "When the general is ordered to go out, he should go all out. But, Your Majesty, what should we do next?"
Zhu Han pondered for a moment, then turned his eyes to the distant horizon again: "Our mission on this trip is important, and we cannot slack off because of a small victory. Give the order and let the crew take a short rest, inspect the hull, replenish supplies, and prepare to continue moving forward."
Mr. Wang also came forward at this time, holding a map in his hand: "Your Majesty, according to our voyage plan, the next stop should be Borneo. It is rich in products and has trade relations with me tomorrow morning. Maybe we can
Stop for a while and replenish some necessary supplies."
Zhu Han took the map, looked at it carefully, and nodded in agreement: "What Mr. Wang said is absolutely true. Borneo is indeed a good supply point. Order all ships to prepare to go to Borneo."
As the order was issued, the crew quickly took action. Some inspected the hull, some organized the equipment, and some began to prepare dinner. As night fell, the lights on the sea were brightly lit, and the Ming fleet continued to move forward in the night, aiming directly at the target.
Borneo.
In the early morning of the next day, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the mist and shone on the sea, the Ming Dynasty fleet had already approached the coastline of Borneo. In the distance, the tree-lined island loomed, like a paradise.
"Your Majesty, Borneo is right in front of you." Mr. Wang pointed forward, with a bit of excitement in his tone.
Zhu Han held a telescope and carefully observed the situation on the island, nodded and said: "Order the ships to slow down and stay vigilant, and at the same time send envoys to the island to seek exchanges and cooperation with the local tribes."
Soon, the envoys took Zhu Han's handwritten letter and gifts and boarded Borneo in a small boat. After some negotiations, they successfully contacted the tribal leaders on the island and invited Zhu Han and his party to the island for exchanges.
Zhu Han led several close aides and set foot on the land of Borneo. The island's beautiful scenery and fresh air made people feel relaxed and happy. The tribal leader warmly received them, and the two sides started talking under the shade of a spacious tree.
"Dear envoy of the Ming Dynasty, welcome to Borneo." The tribal leader said in less fluent Chinese, with curiosity and friendliness shining in his eyes.
Zhu Han returned the gift with a smile: "Thank you, Chief, for your warm hospitality. Our Ming Dynasty and Borneo have always been friendly. This visit is, firstly, to strengthen trade between the two parties, and secondly, to promote cultural exchanges and seek common development."
The tribal leader nodded in agreement: "What the envoy of the Ming Dynasty said is absolutely true. We in Borneo are rich in products and have been trading with the Ming Dynasty for a long time. If we can further strengthen cooperation, we will definitely achieve mutual benefit and win-win results."
When Zhu Han heard this, he felt happy and continued: "We also brought some gifts on this trip to show our sincerity. At the same time, we also hope to understand the customs and customs of Borneo, learn together, and make progress together."
The tribal leader gladly accepted the gift and invited Zhu Han and his party to visit the island's characteristic buildings and natural landscapes. The two parties exchanged each other's culture and customs in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, enhancing mutual understanding and friendship.

The roots are deep and the leaves are luxuriant, and they grow vigorously.”
Zhu Han nodded and smiled, and continued: "Master Chief, in addition to strengthening trade and cultural exchanges, I also hope to cooperate with Borneo in education, medical and other fields. Ming Dynasty has rich educational resources and medical technology, which may be able to help you

When the tribal leader heard this, his eyes flashed with approval: "The Ming envoy's suggestion is extremely pertinent, and we are very willing to accept it. I will also report this to our king, and I believe he will also support it."
Zhu Han smiled slightly and continued: "In addition, I also hope to build some schools and clinics in Borneo to provide better educational conditions for your children and better medical services for the people."
Hearing this, the tribal leader was deeply moved: "We the people of Borneo will always remember the kindness and generosity of the Ming Dynasty envoy. Such cooperation will not only promote the development of our two places, but also deepen the emotional ties between us."
Zhu Han shook his head slightly and said in a humble tone: "The leader has spoken seriously. Ming Dynasty and Borneo are one family. It is our responsibility to help each other and develop together."
As the night got darker, the conversation between the two parties became more and more in-depth. Zhu Han not only talked about the specific matters of cooperation, but also introduced some of the Ming Dynasty's advanced technologies and cultural achievements to the tribal leaders. The tribal leaders also showed Zhu Han about Borneo

Finally, when the banquet ended, the two parties had reached a number of cooperation intentions, laying a solid foundation for future friendly exchanges.
Zhu Han looked at the sea in the night, his heart full of expectations for the future. He turned to his staff Mr. Wang and said: "Mr. Wang, during this trip we not only deepened our friendship with Borneo, but also established a good reputation for Ming Dynasty overseas.

Mr. Wang nodded in agreement, his eyes shining with excitement: "What the prince said is absolutely true. Our Ming Dynasty is famous far and wide, and we will definitely be able to establish deep friendships with more countries. However, in the next voyage, we may encounter more
What an unknown challenge.”
Zhu Han smiled slightly and looked firmly: "Although there are many challenges, we, the people of the Ming Dynasty, are never afraid. As long as we are sincere and face it with wisdom and courage, we will be able to overcome all difficulties."
At this time, General Li, the general in charge of navigation, came forward with the latest chart in his hand: "Your Majesty, based on the latest tide and wind direction predictions, I suggest that we adjust our route and bypass this reef area to avoid this.
Accident."
Zhu Han took the chart, studied it carefully, and nodded in agreement: "It's true what General Li said, safety first. Send the order, adjust the route, and avoid the reef area."
As the route was adjusted, the fleet continued to sail forward. A few days later, they arrived at an unknown sea area. The sea was sparkling and several small islands seemed to be looming in the distance.
Zhu Han stood on the deck, holding a telescope and observing the islands carefully: "Those islands look quite mysterious. Maybe we can go up and explore them to see if there are any new discoveries."
When Mr. Wang heard this, a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes: "What the prince said is absolutely true. Exploring the unknown is one of the purposes of our trip. However, we need to be careful so as not to disturb the local residents."
Zhu Han nodded and immediately ordered: "Send a few small boats, bring gifts and peace wishes, and land first to investigate. General Li, I will leave this matter to you."

In the evening, General Li returned to the ship with several elders on the island. As soon as they landed, they couldn't wait to report the situation to Zhu Han.
"Your Majesty, the residents of the island are very friendly. They warmly welcome our arrival." General Li said with a smile on his face. "They claim to be the guardians of the island. They have lived here for generations and are isolated from the world. We learned that we are
The envoys of the Ming Dynasty were even more excited."
When Zhu Han heard this, he felt very relieved: "It seems that we have made new friends. Do the elders have any special needs or wishes?"
An older elder came forward and said in less fluent Chinese: "Dear envoy, we are grateful to Ming Dynasty for his friendship and generosity. Although our island is rich in products, it lacks some advanced tools and knowledge. If Ming Dynasty could
We would be grateful if you could help us with this.”
Zhu Han nodded, already thinking about it: "Elder, don't worry, Ming Dynasty is willing to share prosperity with Guidao. We will send craftsmen and scholars to teach skills and knowledge to help Guidao develop."
Hearing this, the elder's eyes flashed with tears of gratitude: "We will remember the kindness of the Ming Dynasty in our hearts. May our friendship be as eternal as the sea water."
