And Longwu also knew this news.

It's just that he seems to be thinking longer term.

He thought that Zheng Zhilong had contacted the Black Flag Navy to come over and kill the Nanyang Advance Fleet, which had shown strong combat effectiveness at sea, in the cradle.

It is normal for pirates and savage thieves to mix together.

The advance fleet may be finished, and Ningbo may even be attacked by barbarians later on.

Now Zheng Zhilong can rely on the barbarian thieves to support the bandits, forcing the Ming Dynasty to stay away from him. The giant sea bandits will continue to be ruthless for who knows how many more years!

No wonder Emperor Longwu thought so.

Zheng Zhilong's maritime supremacy is really too terrifying.

Emperor Longwu was so horrified that he did not say a word about the situation at sea and only waited for a result.

This is how Nanyang Company uses it.

If nothing major happens, Emperor Longwu will be the company's major shareholder. If something goes wrong, the boss will be Wang Cheng'en and Wang Eunuch.

In fact, what Long Wu thought was right.

Lin Wang did receive a letter from Shi Daxuan, an early member of the Eighteen Zhi under Zheng Zhilong.

He clicked his tongue and said in amazement: "I have to say that I am a little tempted, but if I really want to do it, I will be beheaded when I go back."

Hearing this, Sun Qin grinned and said: "You do this, do half of it first, go back and ask for information to see if His Majesty has chosen a good place for you to build a temple statue, and then see if you want to do the other half."

"That's nonsense, come on, put it away, put it away."

The content of the letter was to unite with the Black Flag Navy to defeat the Nanyang Advance Fleet. Then, Shi Daxuan promised to cede Shanghai County to the Black Flag Navy for plunder. If Black Flag was brave enough, they would plunder Ningbo Prefecture as if they had not seen it, and the looting would not happen.

After the project is completed, money will be sent over, and maybe there will be cooperation.

Lin Wang was quite moved by the idea of ​​plundering Shanghai County and Ningbo Prefecture.

It's not that he was completely contaminated by the bad habits of savages.

But these two places are too rich.

No matter Han Chinese or anyone else, they are all moved.

"Get ready, follow the Nanyang Fleet, and give the old pirate a surprise."

Shi Lang's father, Shi Daxuan, was naturally not qualified to promise Ningbo Prefecture and Shanghai County.

But Zheng Zhilong can.

In this conspiracy on the sea, many people can see the large fleet lying on the sea, but no one can see the small boats running back and forth to send messages.

Zheng Zhilong sent a message to the Black Flag Barbarians, saying that after destroying the advance fleet, he was also preparing to support the bandits in order to protect themselves.

At the same time, a letter was sent to the advance fleet.

I, the King of Nan'an in the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Zhilong, the second king with a different surname in the history of the Ming Dynasty, heard that the Nanyang advance fleet was threatened and surrounded by the navy of the black flag savages, so I came to rescue you!

Hurry down south to join our army, and when we defeat the savages together, I, Zheng Zhilong, will report to the imperial court to reward you for your merits, and to make you a miscellaneous general or something like that.

It sounds more reliable than Qin Shihuang being alive.

The Nanyang advance fleet then left the port and headed south to 'rendezvous' with Zheng Zhilong's fleet, followed closely by the Black Flag Navy.

In Zheng Zhilong's eyes, this was naturally a good situation. One side believed his lies, and the other side also believed his lies.

It is inevitable for both parties to communicate and negotiate with each other.

But it's not like they're all in the same group.

That's Ningbo Prefecture.

He, Zheng Zhilong, couldn't even steal it openly and let it go to the savages. How could the savages endure it?

Soon, the two fleets passed Zhoushan and arrived in the waters near Taizhou.

At this time, the Black Flag Navy divided its forces in a deterrence and expulsion manner, forcing the Nanyang Fleet to gradually move away from the coast and sail deeper into the East China Sea. It looked like it was going to take a turn to avoid the Black Flag Navy and then join up with the Zheng Zhilong Navy.

Zheng Zhilong was even happier.

It's better to stay away from the coast.

If it's gone on the sea, it's gone. You can say whatever you want on the shore. If you can pass the blame to the savages and make Emperor Longwu unable to talk, he will have less trouble.

So he quickly followed him and entered the East China Sea.

In the end, the three parties stopped in an area of ​​​​sea where it was impossible to easily determine the location of the fleet at sea.

It was also a sunny morning! Lin Wang clapped his hands excitedly, and the Black Flag Navy arranged a just-right line and launched a fierce bombardment at the Zheng Family Navy, which was not well prepared!!

“Bang bang bang!!”

The shells roared in! At the same time, they rushed over quickly! There were also black flag naval battleships lined up!

The sudden attack caused the Zheng family navy to respond hastily. At the same time, the ship Zheng Zhilong was on retreated quickly under the cover of nearby ships, and really ran away without looking back.

There were originally nearly 500 boats, but more than 70 boats suddenly disappeared.

Zheng Zhilong's fifth brother Zheng Zhibao was left to command the fleet to fight the Black Flag Navy.

"Begone chicken! Water fish! This shit-making savage!"

After walking to the middle of the sea for two days, the Zheng family had communicated with the Black Flag Navy many times and had already decided to join forces, but the Black Flag Navy suddenly launched a fierce attack on the Zheng family! As the commander, Zheng Zhibao was naturally furious!

The little literary talent he had accumulated as a student of the Imperial Academy during the Chongzhen Dynasty was instantly dissipated.

He was scolding and commanding at the same time, no matter what the curse was! At the same time, he quickly took out his binoculars to check the battle situation at the front.

Seeing this, I broke out in cold sweat, and I couldn't curse for a while.

After all, the Zheng family's base camp is in the South China Sea. The East China Sea suffered heavy losses in the previous battle. This time, time was tight, and not enough warships were summoned from the South China Sea. They were still mainly small ships.

Take a look through this telescope.

I saw the fully loaded cannons on several giant black flag ships continuously erupting, and large clouds of smoke and cannonballs that covered the sky were thrown at them like water! The firepower was much stronger than that of the Ming Dynasty's Nanyang Fleet!

Whenever a large warship such as a bird ship approaches, chain bombs will whir and sweep over! Now a bird ship has become a difficult target!

"Fire ship! Fire ship!"

Seeing that one of the only sixty or so main warships in the fleet of more than four hundred ships was so easily scrapped, Zheng Zhibao naturally became anxious and decisively piled up the prepared back-ups.

They were also prepared to face the Black Flag Navy's attack, but they didn't expect that since they had already confirmed their cooperation, the Black Flag Navy suddenly betrayed them!

"That's right, that's right! Let the fleet over there! The Ming Dynasty King's eunuch! Send a ship over to see if they can support you! If you support the prince, you will be greatly thanked! If you don't support, let them go away, otherwise we will fight them too.

!!”

At this time, Zheng Zhibao naturally thought of the Nanyang advance fleet, which in his eyes was the prey that was being pursued.

More than 20 large and small fireships pressed forward, and the Black Flag Navy had to retreat.

The fire ships of the Japanese Empire are different from the fire ships of the Ming Dynasty. The ship shape, speed and explosive power are not of the same level.

It is difficult to intercept the Ming Dynasty's fire ships, let alone resist them forcefully.

The one hundred and fifty large battleships of the Spanish Armada were battered by eight fireships.

Although the fall of the Armada was mostly caused by storms and natural disasters at sea, at the moment, the Black Flag Navy had to retreat like the Armada, maintaining a distance and bombarding the Zheng Family Navy with long-distance heavy artillery in a line, and then slowly clearing the fireships.

This artillery battle with the Zheng family lasted for about half an hour. Even if the firepower could not be fully used, the firepower of the Zheng family's hundreds of ships from a long distance was still far inferior to that of the Black Flag Navy. The Zheng family was blown up and dozens of ships were damaged.

The ship, Black Flag was only damaged, no ships were destroyed.

Damn what I said before has not come true! I can’t bear to give myself a punch! What a weak body! I will start the third update tomorrow, first the third update a week.
Chapter completed!
