The Dutch merchant captain who parked behind the Khazi ship was named Lamb, a middle-aged man with obvious Spanish characteristics.

These days, seafarers who traveled across the Atlantic to make a living are basically the same. Even the captains are not very different. Poverty is not only shown on patched jackets, nor is it only manifested as sea salt particles sticking to their hair.

He was born in a small fishing village near Amsterdam in the north of the Netherlands. He worked as a seaman when he was a teenager and sailed to England on the other side. He also worked as a cargo worker at the dock until he had some savings in middle age. He opened a small wool spinning workshop outside the city. Spain had the best merino sheep, and everything was prosperous until the war came.

To be precise, King Philip changed all this. Spanish bankruptcy caused great losses to the bankers in the Netherlands. In order to collect taxes, it caused many handicraft workshops to go bankrupt one after another, and Lamb's workshops were no exception.

There is no way to survive when going out to sea. The king did not allow the Dutch merchant ships to trade with the New World. The internal Inquisition further strengthened the persecution of Protestants, and there was no other way.

After the petition failed, the Duke of Alva led his army to the Netherlands, who died under the Exploitation Committee, began.

Lamb, wrapped in chaos, protected his sailors and workers and had to join the sea beggars. Sometimes they would attack Spanish transport ships, but most of the time they were just saving their lives.

After having enough of hiding from the sea, Lamb finally returned to his hometown after the battle was slightly calmed down, and continued to transport with his only ship. He was restricted by Spanish laws, so he could only transport goods but not buy or sell.

The seafarers who had traveled through the stormy waves in dangerous waters had just stopped and took a breath in the face of the long-term pursuit. In a blink of an eye, the seamen who had traveled through the storm of the French pirates and the Ming warships were worried.

In fact, until now, they still don’t know where these people with the pennant hanging of the ‘Long Snake’ came from. They just saw a navy-like ship in the state of dying and came over, hoping to get rescue.

According to common sense, at this time, someone on the ship should have put down the boat to negotiate with them, but it did not seem that the owner of this fleet did not see them, or was not interested in paying attention, and just simply negotiated with the French pirates.

Immediately afterwards, Lamb saw the flags on the ship swaying a few times, and the drums were rumbling like thunder rolling in the storm. The remaining ships that were unheard of, and they started to move.

"Captain, they are taking the upper hand and going to fight the abominable Frenchman!" The shirtless and thin sailor slid off the rope, fell down hard on the deck, and got up in horror: "What should we do!"

How did the Netherlands, a place that is not as big as Shuntian Prefecture, gain a place in the Mediterranean trade occupied by European powers such as Spain, Portugal, France, and England?

It is manufacturing, to be precise, a prosperous shipbuilding industry.

In the competition between countries, it has always been common sense to rely on the strong to bully the weak, and to defeat a strong enemy with a weak body, most of the situation itself means that weak and powerful have become more likely to attack and defensive.

The process of a weak country turning into a strong country is the real destiny.

The Netherlands is doing this, and the secret of their ability to do it is on this boat that Lamb owns, this Dutch ship.

The shape of the ship is not special, and thinned boards are difficult to stop the shelling, but the ultra-light hull can bring faster speeds, but there is no artillery on the ship, not even the artillery platform; without muskets, the sailors don't have a single shot, and there is even nothing extra on the ship except the essential water and food.

Only the goods brought by their cargo mission from Amsterdam.

Lamb and his sailors drove such unprepared merchant ships, crossed the North Sea and entered the Atlantic Ocean, crossed the 7,000 kilometers of dangerous seas where pirates were scattered, and headed for their destination in Puerto Rico.

Lamb had no choice but to watch the gun windows of the Jiazi ship, one person taller than his ship, opened one after another in the military order. As there were incomprehensible shouts on the deck, dark muzzles were pushed out of the cabin.

At this time, Lamb finally confirmed that this was the Chinese fleet, or to be precise, the warship of the Ming Dynasty.

This perception made Lamb think that the French pirates were like fools. Don’t they know what kind of monsters were in Ming? Two years ago they were still on the other side of the distant world, and now warships have appeared in the Caribbean Sea. What does this mean?

It's true that the French pirates really don't know. Everything they knew about the Ming Dynasty was limited to the fact that the Ming Dynasty had failed Philip's army in the Philippines, and that the Ming Dynasty was negotiating with Spain on trade cooperation on the New World.

Lamb knew that Mingguo was because Spain was fighting with the Ming Dynasty when he last brought the goods. In fact, Spain did not block the news about the failure of the New World war. Philip's think tank in the palace knew that this matter could not be hidden.

They just deliberately ignore the degree of the loss, and for European countries, the wealthy China should be powerful, and losing to the Ming Dynasty is not a shame for Spain.

What's more, the most eye-catching thing in Europe at this time was that the Portuguese king Sebastion personally conquered Morocco. The Portuguese king died of the Mahazan River, the Portuguese army was killed by 8,000, and 15,000 Portuguese army, including all the nobles, became captives of the Moors.

This war ruined the first European distant sea empire's century-long national destiny. The huge failure caused Portugal to sell its products to redeem its family detained in Morocco, which was much more eye-catching than anything else.

"Stand with the Ming Dynasty warship!"

Before the battle began, the shirtless men who were shaved with weird hairstyles on the lucky ship showed very unprofessional and worrying business abilities. As the French Centipede Ship approached them, almost everyone was busy dressing.

This sea area is too hot, and people can't be seen in the vast sea for three or five days. The soldiers of Kangguru did not have strict military regulations like the flag army. They did not wear clothes at sea, and some people didn't even take weapons.

Even Lamb didn't expect these people to protect himself. He only hoped that there were countless warships in the Ming army with portholes and thick iron cannons. He believed that only such warships could defeat Spain's huge Garen ship.

The French Pirates' Calais ship will not be its opponent.

In the next hour, the smoke that filled the sea proved that Lamb made the most correct choice.

Every seaman on the merchant ship was as sure as he was that they had the honor to see the most brave warrior in the world.
