Snow-white seagulls hovered in the sky, and the waves on the calm sea surface were vaguely seen a fleet parading in the Ming Dynasty in the distance.

The light yellow sunlight shone through the small porthole, slantingly on William Pang Degu's face in the cabin. Pang Degu was holding the calculation rule in his hand and carefully gesturing on the map on the table in front of him. From time to time, he used the snow-white quill to dip ink into the navigation diary to write quickly.

"Dongdong..." Two regular knocks came from outside the door.

Pang Degu looked up at the hatch door and said, "Come in!"

Then a handsome middle-aged officer pushed open the hatch door, saluted after entering the door, and said, "Report to the captain, two Chinese sailboats were found in front of you. What should I do?"

Pang Degu looked at the chart in front of him, pondered for a while, and said, "Send the order out and let other fleets in the fleet not have any abnormal movements and keep their course."

The adjutant was stunned, obviously very surprised by the decision made by Pang Degu, so he asked in surprise: "Captain, will you let those two Chinese sailboats go?"

Pang Degu looked at the adjutant's surprised expression and said lightly: "Fulol, you must think the decision I made is very strange. As my adjutant of Pang Degu, you should know our mission this time!"

Fu Luoer immediately replied: "Captain, this time our fleet was discussed with the Ming Dynasty government on the order of the commander Reel to be promoted to the commander, but this seems unlikely. Captain, the Governor had sent special envoys several times to discuss business matters with the Ming Dynasty government, but they were not successful. This time the Governor ordered the Commander Reel to be promoted to occupy the Penghu Islands of the Ming Dynasty. It is even more impossible to negotiate now!"

Pang Degu nodded and said to Fuloer: "Yes, this time I was not going to negotiate, but to attack the Ming Dynasty's port!"

Fu Luo actually thought that the purpose of the fleet was to go out to sea to loot, but he didn't expect it to attack the Ming Dynasty's port. He was shocked and said, "Captain, the governor's order is not to try not to anger the Ming Dynasty's government, and to negotiate more with the Ming Dynasty government to gain time to stabilize the Penghu base? Besides, our fleet only has five warships and seven merchant ships this time. How could it be possible to attack the Ming Dynasty's port?"

Pang Degu was silent for a moment and whispered: "The navy relies on strength. Reel was promoted to Commander's secret order and asked me to choose a Ming port to attack with force to test the Ming government's reaction. This time, in order to save time, the passing ships will be spared. Besides, there are still a lot of silver and cargo waiting for us to move in the port?"

After closing the navigation diary in front of him, he stood up and said, "Adminton Fulore, let's go to the deck together!"

……………………

Although the Ming Dynasty was still a sea ban in name, during the Wanli period, the sea ban was gradually relaxed due to the continuous memorials of coastal officials. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty was in a wonderful state of semi-sea ban. Anping Port in Quanzhou, Fujian was a port where civil maritime merchants gathered, and it was already a big port with busy commercial business in the Ming Dynasty, but there was no Ming navy. In fact, the existence of a navy actually created the prosperity of Anping Port.

Pang Degu's fleet was arranged in a V-shaped shape outside Anping Port. Many small boats were placed in the fleet and rowing towards the port. At this time, the Chinese maritime merchants in Anping Port who had been struggling in the sea for many years now noticed a trace of uneasy atmosphere.

Of course, there were people who were not aware of the situation. Zheng Zhilong was lying on the side of the boat excitedly and shouted loudly to the shore: "Anping, fuck, I, Zheng Zhilong, are back again. I must have fun this time before leaving!" He waved his hands in the air, as if countless people were greeting him on the shore.

Zheng Zhilong has the same potential as countless maritime merchants, or pirates that appeared in Anping. He has been lazy since childhood, doesn't like reading, likes to dance with fists and sticks, and is as powerful as a cow. It is naturally a disaster for such a boy to stay at home. Just as many parents now send their incompetent sons to the army for exercise, Zheng Zhilong's parents sent to his uncle in Xiangshan, Guangdong when Zheng Zhilong was 14 years old, and became a small maritime merchant running between the Ming, Japan and Southeast Asia.

It has been two years since Zheng Zhilong finally returned to Anping for the first time. His home is only a short distance away. Zheng Zhilong is very happy at this moment. His thief eyes are scanning the crowd on the shore, hoping to see a fellow villager he knows, but after searching carefully for a long time, he did not find any of them. He couldn't help but turn around and leave the side of the boat.

At this time, a black and strong young man like an iron tower came out of the cabin. Seeing Zheng Zhilong here, he rushed up a few times, slapped Zheng Zhilong on the head. Zheng Zhilong was quick-eyed and reached out and made a dull sound of "puff". The young man said again: "You are a dead official. When I just moved the agarwood to the ashore, I was still thinking about you running there. It turned out that he had come here and was still lazy here. Hurry up and move things for me! Every time you work, you have to be lazy, and you are deliberately breaking our rules!"

Zheng Zhilong rubbed the hand that had just held the young man's slap and said angrily: "Boss Shang, you can get the people who have to board the boat with you alone. What else do you want me to do? Besides, look, after you hit me, my hands are basically useless, and I can still work there!"

The young man smiled and said, "I deserve it, I'll leave soon. I'll move these agarwood ashore earlier today. You know, our agarwood is unknown. Hehe, if someone knows, your heads will be hung on the city gate!"

At this time, Zheng Zhilong smiled proudly and said, "Boss Shang, don't be too old, but I have a lot of experience in running to the sea. I dealt with these agarwood with my brothers yesterday. I guarantee that I can't tell that they are those red-haired goods! Don't worry."

The young man was obviously calm and said, "One official, we have worked together for a year. Now we have such a sea boat. Dozens of brothers, don't neglect these trivial matters and ruin your brothers' lives. Last year, Ma Liuzi saved his life! Be careful to sail the ten thousand years of ship, be careful, and if the goods are dealt with this time, go to another big boat. At that time, brothers can run to Nanyang to play!"

"Well, Boss Shang, I understand. Let's go now. I'll take action earlier. It's better to change to a big ship. I'll do some things earlier!" Zheng Zhilong said that as Boss Shang got out of the cabin, after a while, the two of them moved a big package and walked towards the shore along the narrow board on the boat.

"Boom", there was a loud noise from afar. The two turned their heads and looked in the direction where the sound came. They saw a high splash of water arousing not far away in front of them, and then the boat began to shake rapidly. The two were standing on the board, and for a moment they lost the center. The package in their hands tilted and fell into the water.

The young man was stunned and shouted loudly: "Be careful, maybe a pirate has come to rob the port!" After that, he ran to the boat, ran into the cabin and took out a thousand-mile tube.

Zheng Zhilong followed, and looked at the young man nervously holding the Qianli Tube watching everywhere. He couldn't help but feel nervous and asked, "Boss Shang, what's going on? Why did someone suddenly dare to bombard us?"

The boss Shang is really famous for Shangdi. He was about twenty-seven or eight years old. He got on the boat and became a sailor since he was young. He has been galloping on the sea for more than ten years. He is an old world. A year ago, Zheng Zhilong met Shangdi at that time in Xiangshan, Guangdong by chance. The accomplices of the Fashion Land used to do things that harm the world, burn, kill, loot, and do all kinds of evil. Although Shangdi is not a rude person, he can't stand such a loss of family matters. He quit himself, wandered in Xiangshan, and then met Zheng Zhilong. So the two hit it off and Shangdi paid some money. Zheng Zhilong borrowed some money from his uncle and began to make a living together to run the sea.

This fashionable way, he took the Qianli Tube in front of him, reached out and handed it to Zheng Zhilong, and said, "Look at it yourself, damn, I just used a black hand to rob the Red-haired cargo ship a few days ago. I didn't expect that I would be retribution today, so I let these Red-haireds rob you back! This time, the Red-haired has five warships and seven cargo ships. It is estimated that there are more than 100 cannons, and there are nearly a thousand people. Anping Port may not be left today!"

Zheng Zhilong took the Qianli Tube from Shangdi's hand and looked in front of him in the direction that Shangdi pointed. He saw five Dutch warships lined in front and seven cargo ships lined in back. He could also see the dark muzzles beside the warships.

At this time, there was a 'boom' and another shell fell near Zheng Zhilong. Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but feel annoyed and cursed: "These red-haired shells have eyes, why are they running towards us!"

However, the reality is cruel, and there is another 'boom'. However, this time Zheng Zhilong seemed even more unfortunate. The shells were closer than before and fell on the gang of the ship where Zheng Zhilong was located.

A violent vibration threw Shangdi and Zheng Zhilong on the deck. The two of them were dizzy. Shangdi climbed up from the slightly tilted deck and ran to the side of the ambushed boat. He looked at it and saw a big hole hanging on the side of the ship. The yellow sea water rushed into the ship one after another. Shangdi was so angry that he smoked in his seven orifices, and then shouted loudly: "Is there anyone in the cabin? Are you injured, brothers?"

At this time, the sailor's response came from the shore: "Boss Shang, it seems that Lin Liu is the only one in the boat. I just saw him entering just now."
