It was abruptly before many people could react, the Li Family Chamber of Commerce directly fought with the Portuguese spicy food trading in Indochina, who was preparing to invade the Indian Ocean region, Doyle Ate Ropez Di Preira, and the Chamber of Commerce under its commerce.
It is said that the other party declared war and even took away the ownership of Ji'ding Port with force and occupied the bridgehead leading to the Ming Dynasty.
What is the specifics, outsiders don’t know much about the news about Ji’ding.
Anyway, at the suggestion of the first lieutenant, Little Annie agreed with the other party's proposal to use the seized merchant ships to form the Li family's Nanyang caravan and deploy 500 sailors in Ji'ading, build artillery towers and turrets, and recruit local servants to consolidate Ji'ading's "rule".
In short, a few days later, the port of Ji'ading finally stabilized, and then the banner of the Li family chamber of commerce was raised and claimed that it would be governor of the Li family. As for the procedures, such as what the local governments in the government thought, Annie would definitely not care about it, so she just went to fight.
Besides, she was the Li family fleet from the Ming Dynasty of the Heavenly Kingdom. She captured this broken port and sent people to help the natives defend with muskets and cannons. That was a great thing about pie falling from the sky. She didn't think there was anything wrong.
Moreover, it’s not enough to beat Ji’ding. Annie is now planning to fight Brunei with her subordinates. It is said that that city is around 3o North latitude 3o East longitude 111o?
However, when the Li family fleet was adjusted and was about to choose a date for Yang Fan to go south to continue to trouble the Preyra Chamber of Commerce, unexpectedly, Ji'adin took the lead in ushering in a huge first-class battleship with three-layer artillery decks and more than one hundred artillery pieces.
But what made some sad little girl, Admiral, feels a little regretful that the other party does not seem to be asking for trouble for her, but comes to ask for a meeting?
So, there was no way, so she had to reluctantly turn over the original arrangement (sleeping a nap) and met a group of monsters who came down from the "small" broken ship that was only one-third of the tonnage of her ship in front of the small fortress in the port of the Preyra Chamber of Commerce in Giardin.
"Hello!"
"I am Hedram Joachim Bergstone of the Swedish Navy. You... are you the Li family's Grand Admiral who has been rumored to be popular recently?"
When he started talking, Hedram Joachim Bergstone was indeed in a puzzled tone, because he could not imagine that the leader of the five giant ships anchored in the port, which were larger than their largest first-class battleships in the Swedish Navy, would be such a blonde and blue-eyed little girl in front of him?
Moreover, the other party did not know why it represented the Li family of the Ming Dynasty. As soon as he appeared, he brazenly captured the port of Ji'adin and expelled Malay Governor Doyle Ropez Di Preyla and his members from the Chamber of Commerce. This kind of thing made him a little hard to believe that it would be something a little girl could do.
"That's right!"
??(??￣?￣)?????
"He is Anne Hasta, the Grand Admiral of the Li Family Chamber of Commerce, and the commander of the Nanyang Development Fleet!"
o(*ˉ︶ˉ*)o
Before the translator was allowed to translate, Anne directly answered the white-haired and blue-eyed weird uncle in fluent Swedish.
“!!”
"you……"
"Are you Swedish? Or Danish or Norwegian?"
Hedram was a little surprised when he heard the little girl's answer, but he could not confirm the other party's identity, because there were two other languages ​​in the same language in Scandinavia, namely Danish and Norwegian, which were both connected to Swedish, so he couldn't tell what the little girl in front of him was.
"None are!"
(^～^;)ゞ
"Then why do you speak Swedish..."
Hedram frowned, obviously still a little unbelievable.
"I know all the language!"
(????-)?
"By the way, uncle, is the small broken ship outside yours yours?"
(???.???)??????
"How many ships do you have like that?"
?(⊙?⊙)?
Annie saw that the other party's warship also had dozens of artillery guns on one side, which might be only half less than hers. If there were more than ten ships, perhaps her land grabbing operation in Southeast Asia, that is, Luzon, this time, might not go too smoothly?
Of course, she doesn't know how the cannon performance of the other ship is. If the difference is not big, there will be some more people. If the difference is too big, then it will probably be the only portion they will be abused by them.
"Little broken ship?"
Hedram Yoachim Bergstone gasped.
He didn't understand why they were the most advanced first-class battleships in Sweden and even Europe with a displacement of nearly 2,000 tons into her mouth, and they turned into small broken ships? Also, as soon as the other party opened his mouth, he asked how many such first-class battleships they had and what they wanted to do?
"That's our first-class battleship, not a small broken ship."
"but……"
"What do you ask about this?"
Hesitated, his thoughts were disturbed by the other party, and he vaguely felt that this meeting might not go too smoothly, but Hedram Joachim Bergstone finally asked this question according to Anne's words.
"Of course I'm wondering how much it will cost if I want to defeat your fleet of ships like that!"
(???)
"I think that those five super battleships in their country can beat at least ten of yours... no, at least twenty!"
(?￣? ￣?)Hehe!
Annie stretched out her two slaps without any politeness, then turned her hands to the white-haired uncle in front of her and said.
“…”
"madness!"
"While you are fighting with Portugal's Malay Governor Doyle Ropez Di Preira, you still want to be enemies with our Swedish navy?"
Hedram felt a little incredible.
Although he admitted that the other party's ship was indeed very large, at least three times the size of their first-class battleship, and the gun door on the same side of the hull was more than twice that of their first-class battleship, he did not think that the other party was able to be enemies with the Malay Governor and their Swedish Navy at the same time.
He felt that the opponent's ship was large, and the speed would definitely not be too fast. Even if it had a streamlined and graceful hull and had four main masts, the power would definitely be inferior to their first-class battleship. If they really fought, they only needed to have more than twice the number of advantages and seize the upper hand, and the opponent would definitely become a target!
“Huh?”
Σ(°△ °|||)︴
"Didn't you come here to warn them with the Raphira Chamber of Commerce?"
(???.???)??????
A similar messenger came yesterday, and then the other party was whipped by Anne and expelled directly. Then these people came again today and even drove a warship. She thought it was sent by someone from the Preyra Chamber of Commerce to threaten and warn her!
“…”
"no!"
Hedram couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard the little girl's answer, and secretly worried about the fact that both sides almost broke down and became enemies.
"We are from the Swedish Navy, and Preyra is the Portuguese Governor to Malay. Our fleet came to Indochina to protect the safety of our merchants' routes."
This time, Hedram Joachim Bergstone did not hide it. He first blocked the relationship between his fleet and Malay Governor Doyle Atai Ropez Di Preira, and then told him about his main purpose of coming here.
"only……"
"We heard that you, the fleet of the Ming people, occupied Ji'adin and fought with the Preyra Chamber of Commerce. So we came to negotiate to see if you would pose a threat to our merchant ships and become our enemies?"
Of course, he definitely won't say that he also has the intention of seeing if he can make profits from it.
Because the chili pepper transactions in Indochina were monopolized by the Malay Governor of Portugal Doyle Ropez Di Preira, and the plantations and spicy food transactions in the Spice Islands were almost all monopolized by Antonio van Kuhn of the Netherlands. The situation of their Swedish merchants here was very embarrassing. They could only buy them at high prices from the above two monopolists, or simply couldn't receive enough goods, which seriously affected Sweden's overseas interests. Therefore, as the navy, they always wanted to try to change the situation.
But Hedram would definitely not dare to fight directly with two maritime trading powers, Portugal or the Netherlands. He did not have that authority and even less strength.
In Indochina, whether it is the Preyra Chamber of Commerce or the Kuhn Chamber of Commerce, the combat effectiveness of the large North Sea three-masted square sailboats and large Spanish square sailboats in their hands is not weak at all, and there are many. Once they are equipped with enough cannons, even if they encounter their first-class battleships, they will be a little scared. In the case of one-to-many, military battleships can only escape in panic.
After all, in this era of navigation, almost all ships that traded at sea were armed merchant ships. Without more than a dozen cannons, they were embarrassed to go out. If necessary, they could add cannons to the warehouse and set up cannons at any time and change them to fully armed warships to deal with certain sudden threats, such as the Preira fleet that is being organized in Malacca now?
Yes, Hedram had already heard when he came that the Preyra Chamber of Commerce was organizing a fleet, a large fleet of more than twenty ships, mainly composed of large Spanish square sailing ships!
They were preparing to come to Ji'adin to attack the Li family chamber of commerce, which once again refused to listen to advice and violated the interests of Portugal.
It is said that all the armed merchant ships were pressed with cannons, and the number of artillery in each ship would exceed sixty, and the artillery of a fleet would be absolutely no less than the number of artillery carried on the five giant ships in the port of Ji'adin.
The upcoming war will begin in one month at the latest!
So, when Hedram came here, in addition to wanting to inform the news, he also had the intention of evaluating the strength of the Li family fleet, and wanted to see if the second fleet of the Li family came to Indochina could defeat the Preyra Chamber of Commerce?
And now, Hedram saw that the Li Family Chamber of Commerce's fleet this time was very strong, and the ships were even more terrifying giant ships that he had never heard of. The rumored naval commander of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He, was probably nothing more than that.
However, the number of ships in the Li family fleet was still a little too small, and the fleet's Grand Admiral was actually a little unreliable little girl, which made him hesitate and didn't know how to place a bet.
"enemy?"
(*ˉ?ˉ*;)
Annie didn't understand what the other party meant, but she only knew that the other party seemed not a good person, and she didn't have any kind intentions. She seemed to be thinking of driving a warship to show off her power to them?
“Hmm…”
(?~?)
So, she did not rush to speak, but turned to look at the ship anchored in the harbor.
"All right!"
ε=(′ο｀*))) Alas
"Uncle, I'll tell you..."
?华?华?
"Originally we are not the enemy, because they plan to defeat the Preyra Chamber of Commerce first, but since you came directly to the door, we are the enemy now!"
|???ω??)???
After saying that, before the other party could react, Annie suddenly waved at the officer next to her.
"Catch them!!"
?(ψ｀▽′)o
Click!
Click!!
With the order of Anne, the Great Admiral, before Hedram and his followers could react, the surrounding Ming Li sailors pointed the flintlock muzzles in their hands at the foreheads of Hedram and others, and the distance was still very close, so that they could even clearly see the strange arc in the muzzles of the flintlock muzzles.
“!!”
"His Excellency Anne Hasta!"
"What are you doing?"
"We are messengers, and according to the practices of all countries, you cannot do this!"
A group of guards were pressed against their foreheads with muskets, even if they were as brave as the naval admiral Hedram Joachim Bergstone, they would definitely not dare to move easily.
So he could only watch the Ming sailors send people forward and unload all their swords and short guns, and in a short while they completely disarmed them.
“Convention?”
(??ˇ?ˇ?ˇ??)
"Your routine doesn't work!"
(ˉ▽￣￞］)Tsk~~
"Isn't the saying that 'The truth is only within the range of the cannon's fire' said? Now the range of cannons is definitely farther than yours, and there are more cannons than yours, so here is up to them!"
?(ψ｀▽′)o
"Anyway, your first-class battleship has been requisitioned. When they drive all your people off the ship, you can find a way to leave yourself!"
(???)?
That's right, Anne just liked the other party's first-class battleship. Although it may be a little small, it is definitely more than enough to leave it for local fleets to escort.
“!!”
"Who said that sentence? It's slander, naked slander. We Europeans have never said that kind of thing!"
However, before Hedram could say more, the guards pushed them away impatiently.
At the same time, the first-class battleship in the port was slowly surrounded by two super battleships that opened the cannon door and pushed out the cannon before they could react.
Then, the commander was gone, and seeing the Swedish navy who had no chance of winning, they quickly hung up the white flag and announced their surrender.
"Anne..."
"you……"
After all the outsiders were taken away, she had never said a word throughout the whole process, and she had no idea what Annie was saying to the white-haired uncle, so she hurriedly came up to ask.
"It's not good for us to do this, right?"
Although she couldn't understand what the two sides were saying, she saw the sudden conflict between the two sides and the warship that was "captured" in the distant harbor, knowing what Annie did.
“This is very good!”
o(′^)o
"Now our ship is not enough, and it's too troublesome to build it ourselves, so I have to rob... I borrowed it!"
╮(╯▽╰)╭
"Anyway, that's it!"
(′???`)
Annie won’t explain to Song Yifeng!
She has decided to defeat all the Nanyang area, namely Luzon or Indochina, etc. At that time, those guys will definitely be enemies of her sect. Since they are enemies and they will fight sooner or later, it would be better to take the opportunity to detain the other party's ship now, so as to save time and trouble!
Moreover, who asked them to drive Li Huamei and the others away and made them go for nothing?
They made her Admiral Anne unhappy, so she must deliberately make them unhappy and upset the place!
Also, since Li Huamei and his sister have been in the Indian Ocean for almost a month, they cannot delay here for too long. They must clear out the "hostile" forces here as soon as possible and then chase them to the Indian Ocean.
