Chapter XXVII

It is still an uninhabited island, but the difference is that it is very large, almost indistinguishable from the mainland. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chang Wei was secretly anxious in his heart, "I don't know what happened to Lao He? Xu Chenghua dares to deal with me, so he dares to deal with Lao He." ”

Chang Wei believed that this assassination was inseparable from Jin Shanwei's command envoy Hua Yuanjie, Suzhou governor Ou Zhengcheng and Jin Gehui.

Thinking of Jin Gehui, Chang Wei thought of the fact that he saw Chu Yanliang entering the prefect Chen Qichang's mansion in Suzhou, and Chang Wei vaguely felt that he had caught Mei Ji poisoning him, and the connection between these things.

"Wei Shao, don't worry, Senior Brother has profound skills, and with the skills of those assassins, he is not his opponent at all. ”

"That's right, Senior Brother is not only superb in martial arts, but also far above us in the rivers and lakes, no one can plot against him. ”

The second general has super confidence in He Chong.

"That's right, Xu Chenghua's well-planned assassination can't even kill me, let alone Lao He. ”

The self-confidence of the two infected Chang Wei, Xu Chenghua's strength is probably in the realm of infinite strength in the third layer of internal strength, which is not much stronger than the current Chang Wei, and he is not one of the opponents of the two generals of Hum Ha, and it is almost impossible to deal with He Chong, who has the strength of the top twenty on the list of heroes.

As for the circumstances of the case, Chang Wei is not afraid, they have personally participated in that matter from beginning to end, as long as He Chong is safe and sound, how will the case be decided, and who will carry the black pot depends on He Chong's mood?

After the knot was slightly resolved, the three of them began to search and advance, they had landed on the island from the southeast, and headed north along the way, and three days later a strange scene appeared in front of them.

A broken barrel was stuck diagonally at the water's edge, rusty and mottled with rust, clearly damaged for a long time. The sound of the salty and wet sea lapping on the embankment came from afar, and when I walked in, I was actually at the beach again.

Looking at the ruins in front of them, the three of them looked at each other, and the port was full of ruins, abandoned shipwrecks, broken masts, damaged weapons, dead people's bones, and even fragments of cannons, which was clearly an ancient battlefield.

The three of them became interested at once, and after in-depth exploration, they found that this port was artificially filled and silted, and a half-section of the broken monument was erected in one of the ports, and the word "Lantau Port" remained on it.

"Shuangyu Port, this is Shuangyu Island!" Chang Wei exclaimed.

Shuangyu Port is twenty or thirty miles west of Ningbo, the whole big island is called Liuheng Island, Shuangyu is just the name of the southern island, this is the nest of Wang Zhi, Xu Hai, Xu Dong and others, the trade of Shuangyu Port 60 years ago was prosperous, merchants gathered, Nanzhi, Fujian and Zhejiang coastal maritime merchants, fishermen, pirates, Japanese robbers, Franc machine people thousands of sails and thousands of ships gathered together, it is the first island of the Ming Dynasty.

Historical records record that in order to prevent the resurgence of the Japanese invaders, the sailors filled the harbor with large ships loaded with mud and gravel. It seems that this rumor is true.

"Since this is Shuangyu Island, then Qimen Lost Island must be nearby. Chang Wei remembered that Gomez wanted to rebuild Shuangyu Port with Jin Gehui, excavating mud and rocks, cleaning up the sunken ships and reopening Shuangyu Port, which required countless manpower, with the strength of the Franco and Jin Ge Society, this is impossible.

"They should be looking for a new port, and since they want to rebuild Shuangyu Port, they must be looking for a new port on Shuangyu Island. ”

After walking northwest along the port for two days and reaching the sea again, at noon on a clear day, it was already possible to see the outline of the mainland protruding to the west, and Chang Wei could be sure that it was Ningbo, an important port of the Ming Dynasty.

What is exciting is that in the distant sea, the sails are waving and the boats are coming and going, and the three of them excitedly take off their clothes and wave and shout, hoping that a boat will carry them back, relying on the small raft alone will only float along the current to the southeast, and will not return to the mainland at all.

However, to their dismay, all the ships rushed towards Ningbo, and none of them approached the side of Liuheng Island, as if they were hiding from something.

"Is there a storm? This season should be when the wind is calm, and besides, this is offshore, it doesn't make sense. Chang Wei was a little confused.

After waiting at the beach for a long time, Chang Wei suddenly saw a towering mast appear in the southwest direction, and half an hour later, the sails appeared in his eyes, and five large ships obscured the sight of the three of them.

"Three-masted! Spinnaker!" Chang Wei's eyes widened, and he exclaimed: "Franc machine sea ship, no, it's a fleet!"

The galleon is 100 feet long and 30 feet wide, with three decks, and the front and rear ships are all three-masted, equipped with more than a dozen triangular sails, longitudinal sails, and countless complex riggings, the largest one in the middle is a four-masted, and Chang Wei knows that it is the flagship.

Under Chang Wei's watchful eye, the sailors began to use the winch to open the window covers on the ship's side, revealing rows of portholes, apparently preparing to release the landing equipment.

In addition, Chang Wei also saw dozens of famous broadside guns from the portholes. Above the narrow hull waterline, there is a low strike angle.

The bow and stern were built with a shipyard, and the hull above the waterline was equipped with many light guns. On the main hull there was another row of large guns.

Just looking at these many guns and sails, Chang Wei knew that this was an ocean-going warship, and there were many rigging rigging that could adjust the direction of each sail at any time, so that the warship had the ability to sail "against the wind".

As the warship approached, Chang Wei saw how many soldiers with spears and short swords were on the lower deck, and he couldn't tell if these were Franc Robot people from too far away.

"Wei Shao, these galleons seem to be heading towards us again?"

"No wonder, the fishing boats were all far away, hiding from the fleet. ”

The words of the second general reminded Chang Wei, "Gomez said that he wanted to rebuild Shuangyu Port, it seems to be true!"

Soon, the fleet had reached the sea area of Liuheng Island, and the triangular sails on the big ships began to adjust their angles, and small clippers were released from the portholes, looking for a place to land on the island.

"Wei Shao, let's go quickly, so as not to be discovered by the Franc machine man on the ship. ”

"We've been discovered, don't you think those speedboats are coming from us?"

"How can they see us from such a distance?"

Chang Wei smiled: "There is a clairvoyant mirror on the ship, you can see us from the beginning!"

"Shall we watch them go up to the island? ”

"Let's go to the woods to the north and see the situation first, I guess the Francos won't act rashly for the time being. Chang Wei concluded based on the ships passing in front of him, although those ships hurriedly returned to the sea, but none of them were damaged by shelling, indicating that the Francophile had no intention of using force.

Chang Wei is a modern man after all, and his attitude towards friendly foreigners is also very friendly and not hateful. Doing business, everyone makes money and makes a fortune together, there is no need to fight and kill. On the contrary, if the other party loots and kills, then you are not welcome!
