On the sea, flags were like clouds, and nearly two hundred warships of all sizes were coming in a vast storm. Pattaya military commander Joko stood on the warship, proud and proud. This was the largest naval battle he commanded. After winning, he would also become the most influential person in this sea area.

Joko had extremely clear information about the Ming people in Yangang. They only had six warships. Although one was as majestic as a mountain and its shape was terrifying, Joko was not afraid at all. On the sea, it was an iron rule that a large ship was eating a small boat, but if there were too many small boats, the situation would be reversed.

The last time such a large-scale naval battle occurred in this sea area dates back to twenty years ago. At that time, the old king of Manila was still alive and gathered hundreds of main warships to fight against invasion from the West. In that battle, they won a great victory. At that time, Jokovic, as the captain of one of the warships, personally participated in the battle.

In that battle, there were very few people who survived until now. But those who survived until now became big shots.

Batia's influence and strength in this sea area are second only to Manila. This is why Batia dares to shelter him when Kanu was desperate.

Of course, no gains cannot get up early, so protecting Kanu is not a great outbreak in Pattaya's sense of justice. The old king of Manila passed away and the two princes set off a civil war. Pattaya intuitively felt that their spring was coming. Kanu was the successor of Lao Wangqin and the orthodox successor. There were countless sympathizers in this sea area, because when the old king was alive, he not only had reputation but also kindness. With Kanu in his hand, he had the opportunity to challenge Manila at any time, and then made Pattaya the overlord of this sea area, just like the old king of Manila back then, with one word and one thing in a word.

But unexpectedly, taking over Kanu took over a hot potato. Manila's backer was too terrifying and powerful, and Luo Yishui and Chen Ci were also very good at driving Kanu away. After driving Kanu away, they calmed down the domestic turmoil in a very short time. Then, with the help of Ming people, they vigorously developed maritime trade, and the people's livelihood economy developed rapidly. The living standards of the people in their country rose sharply, and they were even one step further than when Lao Wang was alive. This made Pattaya's plan fall into the empty space.

The power of the Ming people then appeared year by year. They did not send out a soldier, but simply relying on groups of merchants who crossed the sea like locusts, they eroded the sea area of ​​Manila to a lotus.

Pattaya is an exception that has not benefited in this sea area. Kanu has undoubtedly become a burden at this time. What makes Pattaya cry is that they dare not abandon Kanu and hand him over to Mingren or Chalan in exchange for their friendship, because in this way, their reputation is completely over.

There was no choice but to hold on with a swollen face and fat man.

It was painful to watch others eat meat and drink soup while they could only endure hunger. Ming Shang did not do business with Pattaya, and Manila made things difficult for Pattaya's neck everywhere, which made Pattaya's life more and more difficult. Domestic opposition grew day by day. If it weren't for Pattaya's king Qiangba's tough wrists and strong and soft, I was afraid Pattaya would have surrendered long ago.

But gradually, Pattaya came back to the taste. Although Mingren was very loud, he did not make any substantial moves. Luo Yishui from Manila seemed to be fierce and hated, but his attacks were only scratching his feet through the shoe and did not come to fruition at all. Jomba suddenly understood.

Luo Yishui needs Kanu to live to control Chalan to facilitate his control of the entire Manila, and the distant Ming people also need them to live to check and balance Luo Yishui.

After understanding this, Jonba's room for maneuvering has become larger. He cannot do business with Ming people publicly, but he can do it quietly. Profits are always the first choice for merchants. As long as he gives himself enough sincerity, he is not afraid that they will not come.

He did succeed. The Ming merchants started business with them under the cover of layers of disguise. While the profits brought by sea trade were fattening up these sea traders, they also greatly improved Pattaya's economy and the country gradually stabilized.

In this process, Jomba also got another wonderful thing. After all, the Ming people are outsiders. In this sea area, there are still many hard bones that are unwilling to become slaves of the Ming people, and opposition forces will always exist. The banner of Pattaya has become a natural sign that gathers these people.

Jomba is indeed a skilled and thoughtful person. So under the heavy blockade and suppression, Pattaya's military strength soared and its economic strength is gradually recovering.

Jomba has been waiting for the opportunity.

As Manila gradually became stronger, Luo Yishui's ambitions grew unstoppable. His ideas coincided with Jonba, and they all wanted to unify the sea area, but such ideas were obviously not in line with the interests of wise people. Undercurrents under the seemingly calm sea surface of Manila were surging. All three were fueling the fire, and here finally became chaotic.

The entry of the Ming Lei Guard finally brought the turmoil to a peak.

Pattaya was the first to be hit by the Ming people.

This is a crisis, and even the same is an opportunity. High returns are always accompanied by high risks. Jonba decided to use Pattaya's national fortune to make this big bet.

He knew that the enemy he was facing was the only Ming people, and Manila would definitely watch the fun and want to reap the benefits of the fisherman, but he didn't think about it. If he really defeated Ming people, his prestige in this area would catch up with the deceased old Manila king. At that time, he raised his arms and shouted, and responded to Yun Cong. What would Manila use to oppose him?

He accepted Manila's pirates or forces under their control to join him to join him to fuel the war. If you dare to send me, I will have the courage to swallow it. If you want to lose your wife and your troops, you will lose your troops. Then the mute will eat the yellow lotus and will be unable to say what you have to do.

The key is whether this battle can be won. Joba and Joko carefully analyzed it again and again, and paid countless costs to find out the information of the Mingren Navy through countless channels. The final result was the same. The Mingren did only come to six warships, one of which was their Navy's flagship Taiping.

Of course, Taiping is terrifying. In the entire Ming Dynasty, only two warships like your Taiping have been built so far. Ning Zeyuan is naturally terrifying. Back then, Joko had faced enemies from the West with his father. Such a pirate family would never lack the courage to fight.

But it would be too natural for mere six warships to make the warriors in this sea area bend down.

Defeating this fleet, sinking the Taiping, and killing Ning Zefeng will definitely be a big fight for the Ming people. However, the Ming people who suffered such losses will find it difficult to get back in a short period of time.

Moreover, they had a stronger enemy on that continent, Daqi. The Ming people could really take revenge on Pattaya with great fanfare. It is not necessarily possible that they could really control this area. After they took it seriously, the Ming people were afraid that they would turn their heads and beg for themselves.

Jomba is very grateful to Qin Li, a Qi native who came to Pattaya. It is precisely because of his analysis that he has figured out the joints. The plan he has made for himself is now being experimented step by step.

Qin Li is considered an unparalleled countryman. Unfortunately, this person was unable to use it for himself in the end, and finally set sail to sea and was indecisive.

Jomba, who thought he had calculated everything, made up his mind to fight this time. This time, Qiangke brought out all the things that could float on the sea in Pattaya. Even the fishermen were forced to join the army and carried their boats to join this huge fleet. Even if it was time to use these fishing boats as fireboats, they could play a little role.

Jomba even wanted to board the warship to command the battle, but was stopped by Joko. It was unwise for the king to leave the capital at this time. He should be in charge of the capital and plan and strategize, rather than charging forward. What's more, the Lei Wei army, who was originally trapped in Pattaya, also began to act. They were not too many, but their combat power was indeed terrifying. If they succeeded on land, it would be a big joke.

Joko looked down at the vast fleet above the sea, and a sense of pride suddenly rose from the depths of his heart. "Go back and destroy the invaders!" He shouted loudly.

Chen Ci held up the telescope and looked forward. The sea was boundless. He had nothing except the blue sky, white clouds and some lonely seabirds. He looked up at the sky. After a staggered goshawk hovered in the sky for several times, he actually swung and flew straight towards Taiping.

A guard beside Ning Zeyuan stretched out his arm, and the goshawk stopped steadily on the guard's arm. Chen Ci couldn't help but be stunned. This goshawk was actually the support of the Ming army.

Ning Zeyuan whispered a few words with the guard, turned around and echoed, and issued several orders one after another.

The whistle sounded rhythmically again. As a veteran, Chen Ci actually realized shortly after going out to sea that the Ming people were using this rhythmic whistle to command and control the entire fleet, which was commensurate with the signal flag bearers on their respective ships, forming two different systems to ensure that there were no accidents during wartime.

Taiping began to slow down and turn, and at the same time, the other five warships were also doing the same action.

Chen Ci's heart was shocked. Ning Zeyuan had discovered the movements of the Pattaya fleet and made adjustments in advance. This was the rhythm of preparing for the battle, because he saw that the soldiers on both sides of the Taiping ship had become busy.

During the naval battle, the one who was the first to discover the other side would inevitably have an advantage. Chen Ci understood this. He looked at the eagle parked in the hands of the guards, and then at the telescope in his hand. He couldn't help but smile bitterly.

At this time, he really didn't know who was hoping for to win.
