At the same time, on the western coast, Luo Shangzhi, the general of the Shenji Battalion, under the order of Chen Ju, relied on three warships to hijack six large Spanish fleets on the undulating sea.

In fact, it was not a hijacking, but they were on the same route, and the two sides had no basis for mutual trust, so after discovering the Western Fleet, the Ming army immediately launched a guard, but the Spaniards did not attack, and also expressed to Chen Ju that they received an order to deliver goods to Changsheng Port.

After several trade-offs, Luo Shangzhi chose to lead his army to board the largest Spanish Galen ship and control their aristocratic officials by force to ensure the safety of the voyage.

However, after boarding the ship, even Luo Shangzhi did not expect that he would see a strange scene that he had never seen in his life on this day, which made the Shenji Battalion Counselor, who had been accustomed to wind and waves for a long time, have a dry mouth, his heart beat like thunder, and his hands and feet trembled involuntarily.

In the cramped and gloomy cabin, more than 30 elite Spanish soldiers wearing bright cuirasses and high helmets were standing in two rows in the cabin, they allowed the Ming soldiers to board the ship, but refused to hand over their weapons after boarding, at this time people held pistols and muskets, some of them also held long swords, and there was a faint dangerous confrontation with the dozen Ming soldiers who went down to the cabin.

The Ming army surrounded by them in the middle is also well-equipped, they have not received the new training of the north and south two oceans, but the Beijing army is the most elite army serving in the Ming royal family, this group of soldiers who followed Luo Shangzhi are all from the Zhejiang army, people in the cabin under the mandarin duck array of three talents, holding five thunder god machine, waist knife hand axe, momentum is not weaker than the Spaniards.

Especially in the cramped cabin, the revolver musket of the Five Thunder God Machine is neither reliable nor long-range, but it can burst out with remarkable power.

The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion were very sure that with the command of the general, they would be able to overturn all the Spaniards in the cabin in an instant.

The situation on the upper deck was similar to that in the cabin, with a small number of Shenji Battalion soldiers facing off against more Spanish soldiers and sailors, as had been the case since Luo Shangzhi was about to get out of the cabin.

Luo Shangzhi, a staff general surrounded by his subordinates, was always silent, and his burly figure brought great pressure to people, and he repeated what he had said on the upper deck: "I want to open the box and inspect the goods." ”

Luo Shangzhi originally ordered the boarding of the ship, thinking that this giant ship of the western kingdom, which was as big as Nantang, was a troop carrier, but he did not expect to find that the soldiers on this ship were not many compared to the Spanish warships they knew, only more than 100, and nearly 100 sailors.

The configuration of more than 200 people in the Ming warships already belonged to the scale of the full strength during the war, because the Ming army's professional navy was not separated from the naval division and the land division, but the Spaniards were different.

They had not only army but also seafarers on board, and the number of people who needed to control the sails of Western-style ships was several times that of Ming ships, and their seamen did not care about fighting, so 200 people on a ship was only a small number.

Even a medium-sized ship of 500 tons would have fifteen officers, forty-five sailors, ten handymen, twenty-one gunners, and at least one hundred and twenty-five soldiers on the upper deck, not counting temporary hires and passengers.

If there is a landing mission or troop transportation mission in wartime, a medium-sized ship of 500 tons can be crammed with 400 people, like this huge ship, Luo Shangzhi originally thought that there would be at least 600 people on board.

But to his surprise, this was a cargo ship, and there were no heavy catapults on board, only a few poor Francophiles on the side of the ship, which did not have enough men and not enough guns, which meant that there were enough cargo.

Standing opposite Luo Shangzhi was Judge Martin of the Viceroyalty of Peru, who looked completely different from the usual Western warriors, with thin lips and eagle-like eyes that looked mean and gloomy, but it was a pity that these Ming soldiers in front of him were not well-informed enough, let alone understand the amorous feelings, otherwise he would definitely be able to smell the scent of Arabic perfume on his body, maybe then the atmosphere on both sides would be better.

A plush hat made by Parisian craftsmen is topped with brightly colored and silky Peruvian feathers, dressed in first-class Flemish silk with intricate bright patterns, a cape made of Peruvian black panther supple fur hangs down to the chest on the left shoulder, a pair of stockings from Naples on the legs, and a pair of authentic Dutch gentleman's embroidered shoes on the feet, revealing the silk robe in front of the body, the hands in front of the hands buckle the belt made of gold and silver and gemstones, and the ten fingers wear six rings of different shapes.

Among those rings are diamonds from the Land of Lions, sapphires from India, pearls from Panama and the most inconspicuous of Indian jades.

In fact, Luo Shangzhi's fearless attitude made the judge from Potosi, Peru very puzzled, Martin looked down at his outfit, raised his hand several times but wanted to speak, and finally asked with a serious expression: "This Ming general in front of you, don't let your subordinates point guns at me, in your words, we don't have to be so 'sabre-rattling', do I look like I'm here to duel with you?" ”

Before the departure of Lima, the governor of Peru had already said that all the soldiers sent by the Ming Kingdom to the New World were rude soldiers, and if they encountered the Ming fleet on the voyage, they would definitely be reprimanded, so he specially asked for three more warships as escorts.

It is expected that the Ming army will have a slightly better attitude.

After all, isn't this the case between Spain and Portugal, which originally drove to the door of someone else's house with the intention of plundering everything, and when they found that there were many others, they would lower their posture and use cunning words to gain an advantage.

Only when you can see the face can you see that this is not the case at all, obviously there are many of them, but what can they do?

It is impossible for them to attack the Ming boat, even if there are two Ming ships, even if there are ten people on board, so what?

They can't do anything, if they change countries, even if it's France, England, or any other country in the world, Martion can order an attack and expel them, and go to Changsheng Port to reason with the local officials, and it won't be considered a wrong thing.

But Chen Mu is not a reasonable person, the two viceroyalties of the New World are very clear about this matter, and those who really know the inside situation understand that the root of the conflict lies in interests, but no one who is sober enough will think that the contradiction lies at the root?

They would argue that the root of the conflict was that Bernal's company commander had robbed Zheng Tu, an Indian chieftain who had been annexed to the Ming Kingdom, of a flag.

New Spain paid more than 7,000 lives for this flag, and lost more than three Iberian lands.

When this question really made Mation ask himself, he really didn't dare to expel the Ming army, and when Chen Mu was in charge of the New World, no one could be sure how much disaster killing or injuring a Ming soldier would bring to his country.

Even if Martion, who had studied Chinese from monks in Lima, said an idiom, Luo Shangzhi's expression still looked at him like an iceberg, and in the end, Martion had no choice, just raised his hand sideways and said: "Go and see, it's all going to be given to you anyway, but I advise you, no one should take the slightest, otherwise even if we don't say it, your General Chen will give you a terrible punishment." ”

When the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion kicked open the first wooden box, the luster inside made everyone's eyes widen.

"General, general, silver, all silver, silver ingots as long as an arm......"
