Shi Jinqing responded with a knowing smile and nodded.
Chen Shouyi was thrown off the mast. Isn't this old port about to change its owner? As for who will be replaced, there is no need to ask, of course it is the uncle of Ming Dynasty in front of me. Naturally, Chen Shouyi can only be the original master of Old Port.
At this time, Ming's warships also slowly docked.
When Shi Jinqing saw China's majestic large warships and the sophisticated weapons and equipment on board, he couldn't help but sigh: "The Ming Dynasty's mighty power is rare and unheard of in the world."
Han Du smiled and glanced at Shi Jinqing, clearly seeing the deep fear in his eyes, and couldn't help but nod secretly. It is good to know how to be afraid. Only when you have fear can you obey the instructions of the Great Ming.
Thinking of this, Han Du said: "I'm here for the first time and I don't know much about the old port. May I ask where the old port is located and what are the places around it?"
Naturally, Shi Jinqing did not dare to be negligent, and quickly replied: "Uncle, you're welcome. Let me tell you, this port is located in the middle of the sea, between Shuizhenla and Java, south of the city, five days away."
Five days is probably the speed of Shi Jinqing's and others' ships. If it were replaced by a Ming warship, it could only be reached in four days. If he hadn't been delayed for two days because he was unfamiliar with sea routes, Han Du would have arrived at the old port long ago.
Thinking of this, Han Du immediately asked: "By the way, do you have a chart of the surrounding area?"
"Yes." Shi Jinqing nodded quickly and said wisely: "I will get it for my uncle." After saying that, he quickly waved his hand and asked his subordinates to go get the map.
And he himself accompanied Han Du, introducing things in the old port to Han Du as he walked.
At this moment, a group of people suddenly rushed out from the street entrance. Fortunately, Han Du had already sent people to explore the way ahead. It would take some time for these people to rush to Han Du. Of course, if they really had the ability, that would be the case.
When Han Du saw it, he turned around and smiled at Shi Jinqing.
Shi Jinqing's face changed drastically. When he saw Han Du's smile, he was frightened and his heart trembled. He quickly knelt down to prove his innocence and said, "Uncle, these people have absolutely nothing to do with me. Chen Shouyi has occupied Old Port for so many years. There will be some diehards.”
Han Du approached Shi Jinqing with a smile and asked softly: "Are you Chen Shouyi's die-hard loyalist?"
"Xiao Xiao is definitely not, absolutely!" Shi Jinqing explained quickly, "Xiao Xiao's family's business is only average in Jiugang, and it doesn't catch Chen Shouyi's eyes at all. By the way, it must be them."
Shi Jinqing suddenly thought of something, and immediately stood up and waved his hand towards the few people following him. These people were the ones who consciously stood up and surrendered.
These people couldn't understand Chinese, and they didn't know what Shi Jinqing was talking about. But they knew something bad was going to happen by looking at Shi Jinqing's expression, and they immediately started arguing with Shi Jinqing.
Han Du didn't understand either, and he had no time to pay attention to them. Because in just this moment, those men and horses were about to rush in front of them.
Han Du smiled, raised his right hand high, put his index and middle fingers together, and moved slightly forward.
The soldiers on the left and right escaped from the revolver, and the sound of thunder suddenly continued continuously.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
...
Hundreds of people came charging at them with strange-looking long knives, but within a matter of seconds, no one was left standing. Either he was lying on the ground motionless and completely dead, or he was lying on the ground letting out a desperate cry, and after moving a few times, there was no more sound.
The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty navy walked leisurely among the dead with revolvers in their hands. If they found anyone who still made a sound, they would add another blow until they killed everyone.
Only then did Li Zengzhi run to Han Du and report, "Report, uncle, the enemy came and killed 412 people, and we had no casualties." After saying this, Shi Jinqing, who was still in shock, was greeted by Li Zengzhi. After taking a look, he returned to the position behind Han Du.
Shi Jinqing suddenly came to his senses, and the fear in his heart was almost overflowing. He didn't see the battle at sea, and he didn't know how Han Du captured Chen Shouyi. When he saw the people accompanying Han Du, except for two strange-looking leather bags hanging on their waists, almost all of them had empty hands. Only a few of them had a long knife at their side.
Originally I thought this was Han Du's trust in him, but now it seems that with such a magical weapon, why would he use a long knife? Moreover, he is also self-indulgent, and Han Du has never trusted him.
In Shi Jinqing's view, the revolver is a well-deserved artifact. Just twenty or thirty people took action and slaughtered more than four hundred people in an instant, without even one being injured.
This is not an artifact. What is an artifact?
After seeing this scene, not only Shi Jinqing, but also other people, their legs softened and they couldn't help but kneel down, lowering their heads and shivering on the ground.
Han Du smiled and ignored them. At this time, Shi Jinqing presented the sea chart.
Shi Jinqing said: "Uncle, this is the nautical map around the old port. The old port is located in Srivijaya. To the east are Jiangli and Mataram, and further to the east is Java. To the north are Shuizhenla and Champa. , to the west is Luohu."
Han Du was stunned the moment he opened the chart and was not listening to Shi Jinqing's words at all. Between the two large islands, there is a long and narrow strait, pointing diagonally to the west, and the old port is the entrance to the easternmost section of the strait.
With such a familiar terrain, how could Han Du not know where he was?
Strait of Malacca!
Understanding where he was, a series of glittering titles suddenly flashed through Han Du's mind: Golden Seaway, Gateway to the East and West...
Shi Jinqing saw that Han Du's face was sometimes happy, sometimes brooding, and even angry. He stood aside and did not even dare to express his anger.
After a while, Han Du looked up at Shi Jinqing and said, "The Ming Dynasty wants to set up the Jiugang Xuanwei Department here. Shi Jinqing, do you dare to take this important position?"
Shi Jinqing knew a lot about things in the Central Plains. From the fact that Han Du knew nothing about this place, he knew that Han Du must have come to Old Port accidentally. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty's decision to establish the Jiugang Xuanwei Department here was not the Ming Dynasty's decision at all, but the decision just made by the uncle in front of him.
Shi Jinqing didn't know what confidence Han Du had to dare to do such a taboo thing. But this matter is a unique opportunity for the Shi family.
The Shi family fled here. Although there were many of them, the time was too short after all, and they could only barely gain a foothold in this old port. It's far from being a prosperous family, and it doesn't even dare to be compared with the real major forces.
But now that Han Du has spoken, as long as Shi Jinqing nods, he might really be able to become the overlord of this old port.
