The soldier's words shocked Zhang Jiexu.

In all these years, no large warship has ever visited this archipelago.

When he led more than 300 people to the island, it was an uninhabited and deserted island.

After years of operation, the situation has improved rapidly. Normally, only commercial ships come to the island, mainly to buy their fish and local products.

Why would a warship suddenly arrive here? Could it be that they want to occupy the island they have worked so hard to manage?

Thinking of this, Zhang Jiexu suddenly panicked, grabbed the soldier's arm, and asked anxiously:

"You're sure there are warships coming here, aren't you just blinding yourself?"

The soldier said hurriedly:

"Island owner, how dare I lie to you? We don't know exactly where the battleship came from. Let's go and have a look!"

Zhang Jiexu hurriedly sent an order:

"Quick, notify all the young and middle-aged people immediately, get their firearms, and follow me to check. If anyone dares to peek at our treasure island, they will definitely fight to death!"

"yes!"

There are not many young people on the island, maybe more than a thousand people. When in danger, almost all the people join the army.

There are firearms on the island, including more than 500 flintlock guns and Vulcan guns.

These firearms were all bought by Zhang Jiexu at a high price to protect the island where they lived.

The surrounding situation is unstable, and pirates are often encountered, and we have to prevent pirates from landing on the island to rob.

Soon hundreds of people gathered, holding firearms and following the island owner quickly to the port.

Before I even got to the port, I saw the Ming Dynasty dragon flag flying high in the wind on the battleship.

Zhang Jiexu couldn't help but be startled, rubbed his eyes in disbelief, then looked carefully, and suddenly screamed:

"No way! What's flying on the battleship is the Great Ming Dragon Flag, a battleship from our homeland..."

While Zhang Jiexu was confused, everyone else was also very shocked:

"Dragon Banner of the Ming Dynasty, people from the Ming Dynasty are coming? Does the Ming Dynasty have such a big warship? The Ming Dynasty warships are coming to occupy our island..."

Zhang Jiexu thought for a moment:

"Maybe it's a Ming warship. I heard that the Ming Dynasty captured Batavia. I don't know if it's true or not. Please note, don't open fire without an order. Let's check the situation first."

The soldiers nodded repeatedly after hearing this. They finally saw the Ming Dynasty warship, so how could they shoot casually?

"The warships of the Ming Dynasty are too big. Is the Ming Dynasty so powerful now? Could it be that Jiannu has been destroyed..."

Seeing the Ming Dynasty dragon flag flying high, Ming people on the island couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.

The coming battleship was of course the Ming Dynasty battleship. Huang Fei held a telescope in his hand and stood on the deck of the battleship to look at the islands ahead.

Every time the warships reach an island, they will order to fire cannons to scare the people on the island.

Those who refuse to surrender will use naval guns to destroy all facilities along the coast and forcefully land on the island.

Judging from the map given by the emperor, the small island in front of us is called Ambona Island, and the Natuna Islands in the Ming Dynasty are called Ambona Islands.

After watching for a moment, Huang Fei ordered:

"The main gun is ready to fire, warning the island residents to surrender and accept the rule of the Ming Dynasty."

"Here, the main gun is loaded with shells and ready to fire warning shots."

The messenger immediately conveyed Huang Fei's order, and the artillery was ready to fire.

Before they opened fire, Huang Fei suddenly issued another order:

"Suspend the artillery fire. There seems to be people of the Ming Dynasty on the island. We cannot accidentally hurt them."

Huang Fei just looked through the telescope and discovered that someone on the island came to the beach. No matter what they were wearing or looking like, they looked like people from the Ming Dynasty.

Worried about accidentally injuring his own people, Huang Fei hurriedly called off the bombardment.

"Big speaker, tell the people on the island that we are the navy of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Here!"

"Woooooooo..."

"We are a battleship of the Ming Navy. Who are the people on Amponna Island? Please answer quickly..."

Hearing the sound coming from the battleship, Zhang Jiexu and others confirmed that the Ming warship was really coming, and the Ming people on the shore suddenly cheered.

Although people have attacked Ambona Island in recent years, merchants from powerful countries often buy and sell by force.

Seeing the Ming Dynasty battleship, Zhang Jiexu knew that the Ming Dynasty captured Batavia, it should be true.

It was as if a child who had not seen him for a long time suddenly saw an adult coming and hurriedly gave the order:

"Quick, go to the port to meet the Ming warship..."

The Ming people on the shore immediately threw down their firearms and rushed to the seaside, waving their hands to welcome the Ming warships.

Seeing the scene on the shore, Huang Fei showed a smile on his face, put down his telescope, and issued an order:

"The battleship docks. After landing, keep your gun in your hand, just in case!"

"Here!"

Huang Fei gave an order, and three warships began to enter the harbor. At a distance of two miles, the fleet quickly docked.

Huang Fei's fleet consists of three sail warships and has a navy of more than a thousand people.

Leaving some people to guard the warships, Huang Fei personally led several hundred naval forces to land on Amponna Island.

As soon as they stepped into Ambona Island from the battleship, Zhang Jiexu and others ran over quickly.

After seeing the Ming general, more than five hundred Ming people who had fled here fell to their knees:

"Zhang Jiexu, a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, pays homage to the general!"

The army of the Ming Dynasty had long canceled the kneeling ceremony, and soldiers did not need to kneel down when they saw the emperor.

When Huang Fei grew up, it was the first time that so many people knelt down and worshiped him. He was excited but also a little sad at the same time.

He stepped forward to help Zhang Jiexu, the leader:

"Please get up quickly. There is no need to be so generous. Everyone, please get up!"

Zhang Jiexu stood up and cupped his fists again:

"Thank you General!"

"Welcome the Ming Dynasty fleet to Ambona Island. Please come to your residence for a drink."

Although Zhang Jiexu was equivalent to the Tu Emperor, he was first and foremost a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, and he was very humble and polite in front of Huang Fei.

Huang Fei refused Zhang Jiexu's banquet and smiled boldly:

"Okay, I didn't expect that when you meet the people of the Ming Dynasty thousands of miles away, it's hard to refuse their hospitality. Please lead the way!"

Seeing that General Ming agreed to their banquet, Zhang Jiexu felt honored, and everyone else felt warm in their hearts.

…

As the saying goes:

"A soldier never tires of deceit"

Although they are all from the Ming Dynasty, these people have already established a foothold on Amponna Island. Now they are like the Tu Emperor. Are they willing to let the Ming Dynasty recover?

Huang Fei was easy-going on the surface, but he was still wary in his heart. The Ming army soldiers were smiling and still vigilantly observing the situation on the island.

Once someone attacks them, they will kill them without hesitation.

However, the soldiers soon discovered that Zhang Jiexu had no evil intentions. They could see it in the eyes of the people on the island.

After seeing the heavily armed Ming troops landing on the island, the eyes of the Ming people on the island were full of surprise, and many people had tears in their eyes, as if relatives who had not seen each other for a long time were suddenly reunited.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! This kind of intimacy is definitely not pretended, it is a true expression of affection.

"Welcome to the Ming Navy."

"The Ming army is mighty."

"Long live the Ming Dynasty."

…………

The people on the island gathered on both sides of the road to cheer and applaud, and the soldiers felt very warm in their hearts.

This is the only island that has welcomed the Ming army with both hands since their expedition to Southeast Asia. The soldiers felt like they were going home.

Huang Fei and the soldiers also smiled and waved frequently to Mingren on the island.

Soon we arrived at the island owner’s mansion. The island owner’s mansion was not as luxurious as the legend. They were all houses made of wood.

However, the scale is not small. It consists of many houses and can accommodate hundreds of people without any problem.

There were hundreds of soldiers, and there were simply not enough chairs in the island master's mansion to sit on them. Everyone brought their own stools for the Ming soldiers to sit down.
