Chapter 710: Knock on the British again

Sure enough, under the crazy artillery of the Dutch warship, it was indeed not easy for the Cangshan ship of the Hu Ben Navy to get close to the other side and launch a fatal blow. The cannon firing speed of the Dutch warship was much stronger than the previous Ming army. The two Dutch warships, about fifty artillery guns, were firing at the same time on the side of the ships on both sides, and their bodies were like hedgehogs, and the flames lingered them tightly.

It has to be admitted that this is the most violent naval artillery fire that Zhang Zhun saw after traveling to this world. After all, the Dutch Navy was the maritime overlord at that time, with thousands of large warships. These two Dutch warships may not be among these thousands of warships. However, the strength they showed has made Zhang Zhun quite alert. Those who can become maritime overlords cannot be underestimated!

Two small warships are so powerful. If they are large warships with a displacement of more than 1,000 tons, what if they can do? Just think of thousands of Dutch warships, Zhang Zhun feels that it is really difficult to catch up. Without strong economic strength, strong shipbuilding ability, and strong sailor training ability, it is completely a daydream, a castle in the air!

The future is really a long way to go!

Of course, it is quite difficult for Dutch warships to hit Cangshan ships. These Cangshan ships of the Hu Ben Navy are because they are small in size, flexible in operation, and can maneuver quickly. It is indeed not easy for Dutch gunners to aim at them. The power of the Cangshan ship's flying dragon cannon is not as powerful as the artillery of the Dutch warships. Although the Cangshan ship does not dare to rush upwards under the artillery fire of the Dutch warships, the Dutch warships do not dare to directly withstand the artillery fire of the Hu Ben Navy.

After the battle began, it soon entered a stalemate, and no one could do anything to the other party. For a moment, there was smoke from gunpowders on the sea and the sound of cannons rumbling. A large number of solid bullets flew out from their respective muzzles, landing heavily on the sea, splashing high columns of water. The waves were constantly stirred up and spreading around. The white smoke from the muzzles slowly enveloped the sea, blurring.

Zhang Zhun held up a thousand-mile mirror and carefully observed the battle situation between the two sides. All the Dutch warships used eight-pound cannons, which made Zhang Zhun feel a little relieved. When calculating the caliber of the cannon, the Western powers at that time did not use units of millimeters or equal length, but used units of weight, that is, the weight of solid shells. The weight of the shells was the number of pounds called the cannons. Such as six-pound cannons, eight-pound cannons, twelve-pound cannons, eight-pound cannons, twenty-four-pound cannons, etc.

Generally speaking, the diameter of the solid shell of the twelve-pound gun is about 120 mm. The diameter of the solid shell of the eight-pound gun is about 70 mm, which is basically the same as the diameter of the flying dragon cannon. Since the diameter of the big guns of both sides is the same, there will be no far difference in power and range. No matter which side, it is impossible to gain an absolute advantage in weapons.

Because of the interception of the Hu Ben Army warships, the two Dutch warships had to stop to fight. The British warship took the opportunity to quickly approach Zhang Zhun. The other party's ship driving skills were obviously quite good. He quickly came to Zhang Zhun's flagship against the wind and then pressed them tightly.

At this time, the British woman was standing in the direction of the bow of the boat and constantly waved to Zhang Zhun. When the distance was close, her appearance could be seen clearly. Judging from her face shape, she was indeed a beautiful woman. What is rare is that the person who wandered on the ocean had a fair complexion. Well, she was indeed fairly white. Compared with beauties such as Xue Zhidie, it would definitely be incomparable.

The key is that her figure is quite tall, obviously half a head taller than Xue Zhidie and the others. In terms of figure, she is more like a devil. Her tall breasts, slender waist, raised buttocks, golden hair, and blue eyes all fully demonstrate that this woman is very charming and wild.

"What a monster."

Zhang Haibin and others whispered.

He, Wang Shide and others had never seen such a strange foreign woman, and they really treated her as a monster. At this time, the aesthetic view of the Ming people was completely different from that of later generations. If Zhang Zhun was not a time traveler, he would probably have to treat her as a monster at this time.

"grown ups?"

Zhang Haibin asked in a low voice.

The British warships obviously have to come over. This is dangerous. After all, the other party is a British and a foreigner, and the Ming Dynasty has always been not very clear about the details of Britain. In fact, the Ming Dynasty is not very clear about the details of all Western powers. Folangji and Folangji are actually transliterations of France. However, the Ming people called all Westerners Folangji people, rather than referring to special French people.

This is obvious. Just as many Europeans and Americans cannot tell the meticulous difference between Easterners, the Ming people could not tell the meticulous difference between Europeans at that time. At first glance, they were all similar. Among the top leaders of the Ming Dynasty, the only ones who could tell the difference between them were Xu Guangqi, Sun Yuanhua and other officials who were closely in contact with Westerners. However, what they came into contact with were mainly Portuguese and had no relationship with the British.

"Let them come over."

Zhang Zhun said calmly.

He has fifty snipers around him, what are you worried about?

"clear!"

Zhang Haibin agreed to go.

Soon, the British warship was closely linked to Zhang Haibin's flagship.

Soon, the springboard was put down. The blonde woman came up steadily from the springboard. She swept everyone around, then walked to Zhang Zhun, and said in a bit stiff Chinese: "I am Sai Viala, who are you? What is your general's name? I want to see him!"

She appeared in front of Zhang Zhun and attracted a lot of people's attention. Well, it was a surprised and incomprehensible gaze, and there was absolutely no envy. Except for Zhang Zhun, other soldiers of the Tiger Army could not understand why a woman could dress so revealingly, which was even more exposed than the prostitutes in brothels.

Her huge round and firm breasts were almost half exposed, and when she walked, she swung unconcealedly. Her legs were basically exposed. Even her belly and navel could be seen. All her outfits were despised. If a woman from Ming Dynasty dressed like this, she would walk on the street without being arrested and burned to death.

Zhang Zhun said calmly: "My name is Zhang Zhun, these warships are mine."

Saiviara's eyes fell on Zhang Zhun, looking a little surprised, her blue eyes were obviously stagnant. After a while, she said stiffly: "General... you... are so young."

Zhang Zhun smiled casually and said casually: "You are very young too!"

Seviara shook her head and said, "You must be younger than me. You have much more warships than me. You are such a powerful general."

Zhang Zhun said with a smile: "Thank you!"

He said this sentence in English. In his previous life, he had almost never passed the English score because he was very patriotic. When he was in the army, English learning was not very good. However, no matter how bad English was, hello, thank you, bye-bye, fuck, son o bitch... and other English words can still be said.

"you know English?"

Sure enough, Seviara's blue eyes suddenly lit up.

"It's only a little bit."

Zhang Zhun said slowly.

This sentence is also said in English. However, it may be that he was not standard, or that the pronunciation of English hundreds of years ago was very different from those in later generations, or that he was speaking Chinese in English. As a result, Saiviara did not understand. The hope that she ignited suddenly disappeared. She thought Zhang Zhun could speak English.

In this unfamiliar place, I suddenly met a local person who could speak English. This happiness was beyond description by Seviara herself. Especially at this moment of surviving the disaster, it was so surprising. Unfortunately, Zhang Zhun only knew how to say the simplest thank you. Well, even if Zhang Zhun only knew how to say the two simplest English words, it means that she and the British still have a fate. Seviara's extinguished hope slowly ignited.

Saiviara felt that she was young enough, but the person in front of her was even younger than her. She did not doubt Zhang Zhun's identity, because the people around Zhang Zhun, judging from their expressions and actions, they were indeed Zhang Zhun's subordinates. Almost subconsciously, she looked back at both sides in the fierce battle, then looked back at Zhang Zhun, and said with some confusion: "Are you... a Ming country?"

Zhang Zhun nodded and said, "Yes."

Seviara said in confusion: "Are you the General of the Ming Navy? Or are you the Prince of the Ming Kingdom?"

Zhang Zhun said with a smile: "Do you think I look like a prince?"

Seviara said seriously: "Your Ming Kingdom, the most powerful person, is called the emperor. If you were not a prince, how could you have so many warships? My father has worked hard for twenty years and only four warships."

Zhang Zhun shook his head and said, "I'm not a prince."

Seviara's blue eyes were flexibly turning, showing the activeness of her thinking. She said quickly: "Then you must be the son of His Excellency of His Excellency."

Zhang Zhun shook his head and said, "My father is not a big shot either."

Seviara was really confused and said in disbelief: "You... are a senior officer of the Ming Navy? Are you promoted? How can you command so many warships at such a young age? My father is a major general of the British Royal Navy, and he only has four warships!"

Zhang Zhun nodded and said indifferently: "It's almost the same."

Seviara said with some confusion: "But others told me that the Ming Dynasty did not have a decent navy at all. When we were in Macau, we never saw your Ming Dynasty navy, all of whom were damn Portuguese. Since they dared to expel us."

She looked at Zhang Zhun's face, as if she was worried that Zhang Zhun was a little misunderstood, so she hurriedly added: "But your warship does have a very bright smell."

Zhang Zhun smiled disapprovingly.

What does it really have a strong sense of Ming Dynasty?

Damn, this is definitely a typical British Chinese!

"grown ups."

Suddenly, Zhang Haibin whispered a reminder.

Zhang Zhun turned his head and looked over and found that two Dutch warships were tying flags and demanding that the battle stop and negotiations be held. While the flags and phrases were tying, the two Dutch warships slowly retreated to the south and began to break away from the battle. Obviously, they realized that they could not get a good idea for the Hu Ben Navy, so they wanted to resolve the dispute through negotiations.

The warships of the Hu Ben Navy also received the order from Zhang Haibin and gradually escaped from the battle. In the final analysis, this battle was caused by the British. Before we figured out the whole story, the Hu Ben Navy did not need to fight with the Dutch warships to the death. The Dabai Fleet was not here. If the Hu Ben Navy and the Dutch warships to the death, even if they could sink the other side, they would definitely have to pay a considerable price.

As the distance between the two sides gradually widened, the shelling gradually stopped and the sea surface gradually calmed down. The originally turbulent sea water gradually returned to calm. Only the bitter north wind was still whistling. Now it is March, the last season for the north wind to rage. By next month, the southeast trade wind will arrive and the direction will change.

Saiviara also saw it, her face changed suddenly, and she hurriedly said, "Brother General, you must not negotiate with them."

Zhang Zhun said casually: "Why?"

Seviara hurriedly said, "The Netherlands are all devils! Do you know? They are Netherlands! Have you ever heard of the cunning Netherlands?"

Zhang Zhun said lightly: "I only know that they are Dutch."

Seviara seemed a little surprised and said subconsciously: "Do you know the Dutch? This title is rarely used by people. We all call them cunning and shameless little vendors of the Netherlands. They are the most cunning. They make the deck very small, small as small as fingernails, but their warehouse is big like a dragon's belly, so that they can escape a lot of taxes. Big belly ship, do you know? It is the kind of cargo ship with a large warehouse but a small deck, which is invented by the cunning little vendors of the Netherlands."

Zhang Zhun nodded and said casually: "What's the matter?"

Seviara said anxiously: "This shows that they are very cunning, Brigadier General, don't believe anything they say."

Zhang Zhun said meaningfully: "Miss Seviara, you used to be a pirate, right? Or, your ancestors used to be a pirate?"

Seviara subconsciously denied: "I'm not a pirate!"

Zhang Zhun shook his head and said calmly: "Miss Seviara, be honest in life. Look at the sailors behind you, I can imagine what kind of business they were in on the sea before. Don't think that we Ming people know nothing. I know your king is the dictator Charles I, who disbanded the parliament. I also know a man named Cromwell, who I believe will eventually start a civil war and send Charles I to the guillotine."

Seviara was completely stunned when she heard Zhang Zhun's words. Obviously, she did not expect that Zhang Zhun would know so well about the situation in the UK. He knew that Charlie was not surprised, he actually knew Cromwell! He even predicted that a civil war would occur within the UK! In fact, the civil war was something his father had always been worried about. Because once the civil war broke out, all British people overseas would return to China to participate in the war.

After hesitating for a moment, Seviara gently bit her lips and said helplessly: "Okay! I admit that my father and my grandfather are all pirates. What do you want to do? Do you want to hang us all?"

As if she had received some signal, the sailors behind her immediately took out their short muskets and tried to make some moves. However, they soon discovered that around them, there were more black holes of muzzles aimed at them. They, with rich combat experience, realized the danger almost instantly. Therefore, their short muskets, although held in their hands, were not fired.

Seviara was not afraid at all, as if she disagreed with Zhang Zhun's muskets. No wonder she learned from her father that the firearms of the Ming people were of poor quality. After being salvaged by the Ming people, the cannons on the British shipwreck were treated as treasures and tied them up with red silk, as if they were some amazing weapon. In fact, such cannons had long been eliminated in the UK.

Zhang Zhun suddenly waved his hand, took a Hu Ben gun from Liu Mang's hand, and then aimed at the rear mast of the British warship next to him. The British warship of Saiviara had three masts in total, and each mast was hung with a large number of spinnakers. The distance between the mast behind and Zhang Zhun's location was more than one hundred meters.

"Bang!"

A gunshot came, deafening.

A cable on the rear mast of the British warship was broken by Minnie bombing. The sail it was responsible for maintaining suddenly fell down and was pulled by the cable at the other end, hanging obliquely in the air, swaying continuously with the sea breeze. Because the sails lost their balance, the British warship even shook significantly.

Saiviara's face changed immediately. All the sailors behind her also changed their faces. Zhang Zhun's shot really scared them. Although the ships on both sides leaned against each other, there was still a distance of hundreds of meters between the target designed by Zhang Zhun and the muzzle. At such a long distance, a single shot broke the cable. The power, range, and accuracy of the musket are amazing!

Their eyes immediately stared at the Hu Ben gun in Zhang Zhun's hand. It would be strange if they could not pay attention to such an accurate and powerful gun. They almost subconsciously realized that if such a musket could be used by the British as a weapon, they would definitely be able to replace the Dutch faster and become the overlord of the sea.

However, Zhang Zhun did not give them a chance to take a closer look at the Hu Ben Gun. In fact, Zhang Zhun's actions were not only that. He quickly changed to another Hu Ben Gun Gun, raised his hand and shot it again at the floating sail.

"Bang!"

The gunshots came deafeningly.

The sail was like a kite with broken strings, blown up by the sea breeze, and then fell lightly into the sea. In fact, there were other British sailors on the mast, but Zhang Zhun was too fast and they were all stunned and did not react at all. He had to watch the sails fall on the sea.
