Liu Xiaoyao had seen it before. When he was close, there was Myanmar, and when he was far away, there were Ryukyu and Korea. When the Central Plains dynasty was strong, there were many people who asked for various requests, which was not surprising.

However, throughout history, all those who requested to be attached were basically the most prosperous Central Plains dynasty and only when they were overwhelmed for a lifetime. When the Central Plains dynasty declined, they never saw people behind them, but only the smoke of beacons by the border and the people cried.

Even the North Korea, which had already completed its inclusion, was only attached to it when the Ming Dynasty was about to completely fight against Jiannu. When the Ming Dynasty and Jiannu were killed earlier, why didn't they ask for it?

The barbarians of Tsarist Russia and Cossacks have invented a new gameplay. Before the Tsarist Russia can figure it out, the scumbags in Eastern Ukraine ran to ask for a support?

The barbarians are really good at playing, even if they are used to all kinds of messy methods in the Jinyiwei, Liu Xiaoyao has to admire these barbarians.

But before Liu Xiaoyao could pass the news, Alec Cobham, who came after Lansing, brought another news. Nigel Ellis, one of the seventeen gentlemen of the East India Company, was arrested in Ireland on charges of selling arms.

Before Liu Xiaoyao could fully react, Lansing exclaimed: "This is impossible! The British are crazy! They are completely framed and Ellis is not responsible for the arms business at all!"

Liu Xiaoyao asked with a confused look on his face: "What's going on with this little Ellis?"

After sorting out his ideas, Lansing said: "Little Ellis is the longevity of Old Ellis. He will be the first heir to the Ellis family in the future. Now Old Ellis is old, and most of the business is left to Little Ellis to take charge.

Little Ellis took over the iron business under the charge of Old Ellis, and its profits increased by 30% compared to before. It can be said to be a great contributor to the entire East India Company. Unexpectedly, those British guys have blatantly tied up Little Ellis."

Liu Xiaoyao was still a little confused: "What do these English savages want to do? It's useless to catch a little Ellis alone, right?"

Lansing shook his head and said, "It's not useless at all. According to the rules since ancient times, they have caught Little Ellis and arranged a charge for him. Then the Ellis family can only choose to let Little Ellis accept their trial, or pay a certain ransom to redeem people."

Liu Xiaoyao nodded and said, "So how will Old Ellis make a decision? Since we all know the news, Old Ellis will definitely get the news earlier than us. I wonder how he will make a decision?"

Alec Cobham said: "Old Ellis decided to surrender and pay the fine. I hope Ellis will come back safely."

After saying that, Cobham continued: "However, I can understand Old Ellis's mood. After all, among his sons, Little Ellis is the most successful one. Compared with Little Ellis, the other sons are too far behind Little Ellis. As for his illegitimate children, they can't count on them at all."

After Liu Xiaoyao nodded, he planned to ignore this matter.

Even if Cohen’s son has something to do, he will have a headache. As for what little Ellis and Ellis are like, what does it have to do with him?

But Cobham obviously has something to continue: "There are two Ming merchants who were arrested by Little Ellis, and they will face the same accusations as Little Ellis.

Now we have to ask the adults to decide whether to pay the ransom to redeem the person? Or let them be ordered?

Of course, Old Ellis has decided to pay the ransom, so the ransoms of these two Ming merchants can be borne by Old Ellis, and he must be happy."

Liu Xiaoyao's face changed immediately.

Liu Xiaoyao will never forget what Emperor Chongzhen said when he rescued him: "It's me that I'm late!"

With such a sentence, Liu Xiaoyao planned to sell his life, including his descendants, to Emperor Chongzhen, because he felt at ease following such an emperor!

After a sneer, Liu Xiaoyao opened the lottery in front of him, took out a booklet, and said, "Tell me the captain's full name, birth time, birth place, detailed name of his parents, and appearance."

Cobham finished talking about Little Ellis one by one, while Liu Xiaoyao quickly wrote something on the booklet. Until after writing it, he sneered: "Go and tell Old Ellis, just say that he doesn't have to worry about his son anymore.

If his family has too many silver coins to spend, they can use them to do good deeds, or pay the silver coins to the Emperor Ming Dynasty. These are his freedoms.

This lieutenant guarantees that his son's hair will not be missing, because from now on, his son Ellis has legally owned the Ming Dynasty household registration.

Of course, the others in the Ellis family were unable to obtain the Ming Dynasty household registration. Because this incident involved the Ming Dynasty merchants, they would handle the special matters. This time, I will not be the case."

After Cobham wrote down Liu Xiaoyao's orders and left in a hurry, Liu Xiaoyao wrote about intelligence with a cold look on his face. Little Ellis didn't care. He involved the Ming merchants, so it would never be possible to settle the matter easily.

The speed of the carrier pigeon was very fast, and the Kuaidong India Company's merchant ship was conveying messages on both lines. In a few days, Xinlehou Liu Wenbing received information.

Liu Wenbing, who had just received the information, almost jumped up from the recliner chair and finally didn't have to continue basking in the sun as a salted fish here!

Oh my god! After coming to this damn Ottoman, he has been working as a supervisor. In addition to digging the river, he also digging the river. Until the river is dug, he still has to stay here?

Where did that cousin go? That's how he treated his cousin? Could it be that he should die?

Now, those English barbarians are seeking death by themselves. Isn’t this old man framed you? He has delivered his military merits to the door. If I don’t accept them, wouldn’t it hurt your whole heart?

After calling out to his confidant, Liu Wenbing directly ordered: "I inform the South China Sea Fleet of the Squadron stationed in the Suez Canal to enter and prepare for war from immediately, and send news to the Governor's Office of the Five Army, and said that the situation was urgent, and this marquis personally led his troops to the expedition and refused to minister.

In addition, let the secretary inform Cairo consul Motley that the matter was first taken up by the English barbarians. This time, the marquis had no choice but to use the canal channel to go out for taxes and other taxes to be paid. We will settle the settlement with him after we come back."

After a series of orders, Liu Wenbing hurriedly took the rest of his confidants to a squadron left by the South China Sea Fleet in the Suez Canal.

According to the usual practice of the sea surface fleet, the commander of the squadron is the Qiandujiang Navy, because the scale of a fleet is far less than that of a thousand households, but the commander is entitled to the rank of Qiandu.

After reading the information handed over by Liu Wenbing, Jiang Haijun almost burst into tears: "Since the Marquis is going to lead his troops on an expedition, then I didn't say anything, I will follow along!"

Jiang Haijun never dreamed that he would get such a good thing. The reason why Zheng Zhilong left his squadron in the Suez Canal was to escort, and to make an emergency need, and to intimidate other countries to ensure the safety of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

But after staying on the Suez Canal for a long time, Jiang Haijun, who was about to rust, did not find any chance of fighting. It seemed that all the barbarians were very obedient?

Now, a person who took the initiative to seek death finally emerged. If he didn't follow Xinlehou to kill these barbarians, he would not be able to forgive himself until he died!

Liu Wenbing was also laughing wildly: "I didn't expect that those English stingers were really good enough. I didn't wipe my own shit clean. Now I dare to capture me, the people of the Ming Dynasty? This is simply a person sitting at home, and the pie fell from the sky!"

Two bold guys, no one cares about the size of the Suez Canal Squadron. The main station battleship is too small. There are only six main station warships, four supply ships, three supply ships loaded with weapons and ammunition, and one supply ship filled with various food and daily supplies.

Compared with a reorganized fleet in the Ming Dynasty, the squadron is really not enough, because a reorganized fleet is composed of twenty-four main battleships, twelve weapons and ammunition supply ships, and six material supply ships.

In comparison, the Suez Canal Squadron is as unsatisfactory as a child, but Liu Wenbing and Jiang Haijun are not worried at all.

English barbarians?

Judging from the recent information, this barbarian country is a bit overwhelming, and the navy has been taught to be a human being in several confrontations with the South China Sea Fleet.

Even their weapons and ammunition were purchased from the Ming Dynasty through the East India Company, but now they are brave enough to grow hair? The Suez Canal Squadron can block the sea outlets of this barbarian country, so that they cannot go into the sea!

It was really easy for Xinlehou Liu Wenbing, the big man who commanded the Suez Canal fleet to pass through the Suez Canal. Even the necessary inspection was spared, and no one dared to come and inspect it.

First of all, the Ming people will definitely not check their own fleet. Even if the fleet goes out to cut people this time, let the fleet's killers go and cut people. What do you care about so much?

Even civil servants who don’t deal with Xinle Hou Liu Wenbing will not care about the fact that the squadron goes out to argue with people, because the squadron wins the battle, and these civil servants can still make a certain amount of military achievements.

The Ottoman inspectors were even more lazy to check the situation of their own home. The only warships in the navy were purchased from the Ming Empire, and all the personnel were trained by the Ming Empire. The Ottoman officials were really worried that Liu Wenbing would drag the Ottoman navy into the water in the name of training.

It would be a great thing for these Ming people to go to war without taking the Ottoman navy to go to war. Why should they jump out and cause trouble at this time?

After a few days of voyage, the Canal Squadron reached the port of Southampton Port and successfully met with the East India Company fleet sent by Cohen.

As soon as he saw Liu Xiaoyao, Liu Wenbing patted Liu Xiaoyao on the shoulder and said, "It was a family five hundred years ago, brother! This time, if you can pull your brother, your brother will be very kind!"

Liu Xiaoyao nodded and said, "The Marquis is so polite. Those English barbarians dared to arrest my Ming merchants for ransom. I really don't know how to live or die!"

Liu Wenbing said: "Don't worry, the current Ming Dynasty is not the previous Ming Dynasty. The people of the Ming Dynasty were bullied overseas. Several fleets of the Ming Dynasty came to seek justice for them.

If these fleets cannot do it, Your Majesty will come to ask for an explanation for them in person, and in any case they will not suffer in vain. By the way, how are the arrested people? Have they been punished?"

Liu Xiaoyao spoke, "The Jinyiwei lurking in the English barbarians is not as capable as it is now, and it is not certain whether these people are subject to punishment.

But it has been sixteen days since the news came out and the Marquis led the fleet to come. Now it is really hard to say whether these people have been punished."

Liu Wenbing sneered and said, "Transfer the order of this marquis to aim at the port of the Barbarians' South Cape Town, three rounds of live ammunition rapid fire!"

Liu Wenbing's general order was quickly executed, and the cannonballs with flames were shot out from the cannon barrel. The long flames were dragged like they had a tail, roaring towards the port.

England has a navy and is not weak.

Of course, this strength is only relatively weak compared to other European countries, even compared with the Netherlands, the largest maritime powerhouse in Europe at that time.

However, compared with the Ming Dynasty's fleet, even the canal squadron, which was several times smaller than the reorganized fleet, was a bit inconspicuous. At least, the whole of England could not find a warship comparable to a treasure ship!

As early as the Canal Squadron fired the first round of shells, the English navy planned to counterattack, at least they would force the Canal Squadron to retreat, because after taking these few rounds of shelling, the entire South Cape Town Port would be over!

But many times, courage and determination are useless, especially when weapons have generation differences.

The first time he discovered the English Navy, the Canal Squadron divided two warships to face the English fleet, while the remaining four warships were still implementing Liu Wenbing's orders and continuing to shell the port of South Cape Town.

Gerald Nimitz's eyes were almost glaring, and no one wanted to see the scene in front of him. He allowed the enemy to bombard the ports of his country, but his side could only launch a decisive charge.
