The Japanese pirates and naval forces all came out, and more than a hundred warships and more than two hundred sampans squeezed into the narrow strait. This momentum suddenly shocked all the ships a hundred miles away. Between Ningbo and Zhoushan is a very complex sea area, with many small islands, and several interlaced waterways across and vertically.

Wang Zhi was very arrogant and lined up more than 100 warships across the straits, directly blocking all routes from south to north. Seeing such a huge fleet, whether it was Western merchants, Nanyang merchants or merchants from the Great Mansion, they could only swallow their anger. A large number of merchant ships did not dare to sail, squeezed into Ningbo Port, praying that the port's fortress could block the Japanese pirates' warships at the sea.

When Wang Zhi saw that all the merchant ships in the strait were retreating, he couldn't help but feel even more proud. He laughed and said, "This time I have been preparing for a long time. The fleet is huge and ready. Hahahaha, as long as Zheng Zhilong and King Jiashan are settled, who is my opponent in the world? The vast and thousands of miles of sea borders of the Great Cute Kingdom are all my things, hahahaha."

"The owner of the Five Strong Ship... Five nautical miles north, I discovered the fleet of King Jiashan!" The sentry on the mast suddenly screamed.

"Oh? It's great!" The person Wang Zhi was waiting for finally came, and he couldn't help but feel ecstasy in his heart: "He destroyed my plan to capture the mainland two years ago, and now he is just right to settle the grudge. Sentinel, tell me... how many ships he has come? Is it like the information we have obtained, a giant dragon boat, two Dutch sailboats, and eight blessed ships?"

"The owner of the Five Strangers...the situation...it doesn't seem to be very good...it's not just this little ship." The sentry suddenly stuttered.

"What's wrong with it?" Wang Zhidaqi.

"One dragon boat... two Dutch sailboats. There is no problem with the information here." Sentinel Khan said: "But... he still has two Spanish sailboats. Three Portuguese sailboats, five Fusang Da'an houseboats, two British sailboats, and blessed ships... there are so many blessed ships... at least twenty, and there are many light boats, eagle boats, serial boats, mother-child boats, fire dragon boats, Cangshan boats, wheel boats, Haicang boats, centipede boats... Oh my God... so many!"

"What?" Wang Zhi was shocked: "Can't you read it wrong?"

Unfortunately, the sentry read it correctly. Soon, Yi Yun's huge fleet appeared in front of Wang Zhi. A huge fleet came from the sea in the north. The flagship in the middle was the Royal No. 1 dragon boat, with eighty cannons arranged on both sides. Due to the removal of craftsmanship carvings and decorations, the whole body was covered with iron armor. The dragon boat now appears as black as iron plates, from head to toe, like a black dragon, very terrifying.

Next to the dragon boat, there are a large number of warships surrounding it. Just as the sentry said just now, the warships from the Netherlands, Britain, Spain and Portugal are all in line, while the blessed ships have as many as twenty. There are also a large area of ​​light boats.

"This is impossible! When did King Jiashan have such a huge fleet? A year ago... didn't he just have a little ship?" Wang Zhi was stunned.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At this time, on the Royal No. 1 dragon boat, Zhou Zifan was also sweating profusely and said, "Prince, when did you make so many ships? Why don't you know at all?"

"Ha, you are busy writing memorials and arguing with your colleagues in the Donglin Party, and you don't care what I'm doing." Yi Yun smiled and said, "For more than a year, I've been squatting at home every day. Do you think I'm playing? In fact, I've been preparing for a warship!"

It turned out that during the entire 1562 year when the king was dormant, Yi Yun was busy preparing various war materials. First, he asked for a large number of lucky ships through Hu Zhongxian. Since Hu Zhongxian held the anti-Japanese meeting, he has been preparing a fleet, and with the joint efforts of several shipyards in the court. Hu Zhongxian also owned a small fleet of not very large, with more than a dozen lucky ships and forty or fifty light boats.

The number of ships is too small and cannot play a big role. Hu Zhongxian also knew that he could not deal with the Japanese pirates, so he simply lent the fleet to Yi Yun.

While taking over Hu Zhongxian's fleet, Yi Yun was not idle on the other side, and was trying to find a way to buy Western warships. The two Spanish merchants he had found when he went to Ningbo, Xiyi and Xiyi, finally returned from Europe. The two merchants bought Yiyun's Sichuan specialties last time and transported them back to Europe, and they made a fortune. This time they came from Europe again, so they brought several more ships and introduced four or five Spanish merchants to Yi Yun to know.

Yi Yun bought two Spanish sailboats from these Spanish merchants, paying a expensive price.

Then, through Li Huamei's help, Yi Yun contacted the British and Portuguese people and bought British sailboats and Portuguese sailboats from them respectively.

Why are these Westerners willing to sell ships to Yi Yun? In fact, the reason is very simple! Yi Yun came from later generations, and did not have the idea of ​​closing the country, nor did he have the stupid behavior of forbidding the sea. He was a prince who strongly encouraged sea trade. Merchants from all over the world came to Wusong Wharf in Shanghai and immediately felt Yi Yun's welcome to Western merchants.

As long as they come to do business seriously, instead of burning, killing, looting, Yiyun will receive the greatest enthusiasm, and even meet them in person, promising them with the greatest trade convenience, and will not deliberately make things difficult for them. If there are any profitable merchants who make things difficult for foreign merchants, Yiyun will also stand up for the merchants to attack the profitable merchants.

Under his management, Shanghai Wusong Wharf surpassed Ningbo in one fell swoop and became the best port on the east coast of Damengguo. Here you can easily buy goods from various countries, and will not be exploited by the government in large quantities or discrimination. Western businessmen can feel that Yiyun's determination to do a good job in maritime trade...

They also have ideas in their minds. If an enlightened prince like Yi Yun can hold heavy troops and influence the government, he might be able to break the sea ban policy of Da Mengguo. Westerners actually hope that Da Mengguo will not ban the sea, so that they can not only appear in Macau, Ningbo and Shanghai, but also berth at any port along the coast of Da Mengguo.

So they were happy to sell the extra warships in their hands to Yi Yun!

The poor Western merchants actually made a mistake. They only care about the immediate trade interests, but they don’t know how great pressure the Eastern Sleeping Lion, the Great Man, would bring to Western countries if the sea ban was lifted and the age of navigation was added.

Only Yi Yun knows this!

According to Yi Yun's experience gained from another time and space, Dameng Country is rich in material resources and almost everything can be self-sufficient. So... When Dameng Country, a giant monster, lifted the ban on the sea and joined the Age of Discovery, the silver of the whole world will flow into Dameng Country, because Dameng Country only sells and does not buy! It will only exchange things that you cannot use for wealth, but will not give your own wealth to foreign countries.

To put it bluntly, it is just a simple sentence: We are not favored by the broken things of your Western barbarians, but you have to buy our porcelain and silk obediently.

This problem occurred in another time and space. Western countries finally broke China's policy of closing the country with foreign guns and cannons and established trade relations with China. However, in trade with China, they always played the role of buyers but could not be sellers, causing a huge trade deficit, and silver from all over the world flowed into China. Later, Western colonists had to act like a rogue and dumped opium into China, which led to the famous Opium War.

With such knowledge, Yi Yun was not afraid of lifting the sea ban. He dared to predict that the cute country would lift the sea ban and dump goods into the world, and ensure that it would be sold to the Western countries to make money. If the Western countries would cheat on themselves and start the Opium War, Yi Yun would have a fleet to deal with them.

Oh, I'm going to go far again, so I'd better bring it back and continue telling the story.

"Prince, Wang Zhi's Japanese pirate fleet appeared in front of him!" The sentries laughed loudly: "More than a hundred blessed ships, warships of the Rong ships, and more than two hundred small sampans."

"Oh, even this little thing dares to block my way?" Yi Yun laughed: "Last time Wang Zhi beat my hometown Shanghai, and sent a huge turtle. This time he took the initiative to come to the door, just to ask me to take revenge... I passed my order to crush Wang Zhi's fleet and take him back to Zhoushan Island to squat, and wait for me to deal with the Dutch, and then pinch him to death."

"yes!"

------------------

Two huge fleets began to approach slowly.

Wang Zhi did not retreat. Although Yi Yun's fleet exceeded his expectations, Wang Zhi still took a little advantage in the total number of ships, and Wang Zhi also had confidence in the artillery in his fleet.

In the past year, he has indeed spent a lot of effort to prepare his fleet. First, there were a large number of ships, followed by the artillery on the ship. Wang Zhi used his identity as the head of the Japanese pirates to send many real Japanese back to Fusang and recruited a large number of professional artillery from Fusang.

These artillery are divided into two types, one is called "artillery", and the other comes from the Otomo family. The professional name is quite special, called "Datong", which is the same as the artillery on Zheng Zhilong's ship.

However, these artillery soldiers are very popular in Fusang, so there are not many artillery soldiers who are willing to come to the sea to be Japanese pirates. Wang Zhi tried his best to get only 150 artillery soldiers. In Wang Zhi's opinion, there is also enough. This number has exceeded the Shenji Camp of the Emperor of the Cute Kingdom. What else should I be afraid of? Just Jiashan King, I will kill you!

"Boom to death!" Wang Zhi jumped desperately on the deck.

"Boom to death!" At the same time, Yi Yun was also shouting on the dragon boat.
Chapter completed!
