The Madeira Islands, located outside the mouth of the Mediterranean Sea, is a prosperous port known as the "Pearl of the Atlantic". Today, a bad little girl, the Admiral, almost capsized his ship in the gutter here!
Yes, just a little bit.
If Anne was really just an ordinary person, she might really stumble into a huge disaster here in Madeira, and ruin her journey of conquering the Japanese, sweeping across Southeast Asia, bullying India, and shocking Africa. The great admiral of the Li family is famous throughout his life!
But fortunately, she is not an ordinary person!
What's more important is that there are nearly 10,000 sailors on her five large ships, and as long as they pick up weapons and muskets, they will be strong and qualified sailors. That is the governor and governor of Madeira. Those Portuguese soldiers who launched a revolt never expected.
And why we say this, we have to start from the morning...
After pacifying the opposition forces in Africa, the Li family's fleet headed north. It took more than half a month to successfully arrive at Madeira and successfully enter the port to berth.
"This is Madeira, so we have finally arrived at the gateway to Europe, right?"
ꉂ(๑✪ꇴ✪)✧
"Quick! Let's go into the city quickly to find some delicious food!!"
₍₍٩(ᐛ)۶₎₎♪
After the fleet began to slowly enter the port of Madeira, stopped in the deep-water berth, and then immediately jumped onto the pier pier, of course, little Annie was ready to take her little follower Song Yifeng and a few important people. The sailors who followed him shamelessly ran to the city to play and look for delicious food and so on.
But...
Surprisingly, after seeing their ship anchored, a large group of Portuguese Jaegers wearing high hats and red tights, numbering at least a thousand, suddenly poured out from various places on the dock. , and surrounded the five giant ships of the Li family fleet docked in the deep-water berths. At the same time, the guns were also aimed at Admiral Anne and her somewhat bewildered men who had just stepped onto the dock bridge.
"!!"
!(;ﾟoﾟ)o
"Hey! What do you want to do?!"
o(*｀ー´)o
Anne felt a little baffled.
Because she and her fleet didn't seem to have done anything bad, and they didn't provoke anyone here. Why did they ambush them in the dock just after they arrived?
"snort!"
"Are you also from the Li family fleet from the east?"
At this time, a leading officer pushed aside the soldiers surrounding the dock, squeezed a few steps away from Annie and others, and then subconsciously asked something.
"!!"
"Well?!"
Then, after looking at Anne and the similarly tense sailors behind her, he didn't pay much attention. He just looked up at the 'Daming' and 'Da Ming' hanging above the tallest mast of the giant warship 'Xiang Feihu'. After raising the banner with the word "Li", he suddenly became energetic.
"It's that flag, that's right!"
"It's a big fish!"
Before, he was severely reprimanded by the governor of Madeira for not catching Li Huamei, the admiral of the Li family's fleet, but now it's fine. After more than a month, another fleet of the Li family's fleet committed suicide. Lu Ban came here and came to the door, along with five terrifying giant ships. This made the Portuguese officer feel that he was definitely going to make a great contribution this time.
"quick!"
"Catch them all and seize the ship!!"
Therefore, he couldn't wait to shout and give orders to the soldiers.
"??"
!? (•''•۶)۶
"What are you going to do?!"
↜(ψ｀╭╮′)o︻デ═一
Although she didn't know what was going on with the soldiers and the officer here, Anne only knew that the other party seemed to want to arrest them, and even pointed the muzzle of the gun in front of them, so she also took out took her musket.
In short, no matter what it is, it must be resisted no matter what.
"What?!"
"The news that your Li family fleet attacked and robbed the Spicy Islands and killed the Malay Governor Doyle Atai Lopez de Preila has long been spread. Do you think we don't know anything? "
"Arrest them all!"
"If there is resistance, shoot to death!!"
Although the officer was a little surprised when he heard that Annie could speak Portuguese, he didn't think too much. He just explained this sentence with an angry smile, then waved his hand and asked the soldiers to surround the people of the Li family's fleet. .
Now, the opponent's ship has docked and even the sails have been lowered. It is absolutely impossible to escape again. Therefore, he feels that this time he is sure to win and will soon be promoted and paid. .
As for the sailors with knives and guns and the weird little girl, he didn't take it seriously. Although the other party's ship was indeed very big, what kind of deterrent could it have if the other party was parked at the dock?
"!!"
(ﾟДﾟ≡ﾟдﾟ)!?
"you dare?!"
(•́へ•́╬)
Anne obviously would not sit back and die, so as soon as she finished speaking, muskets stretched out from behind the hull of the flagship ship behind her, and the muzzles of the threaded Minie rifles also began to Targeting the Portuguese soldiers in a tit-for-tat manner.
at the same time!
More sailors on the ship also became busy after discovering the situation. Soon, more gun muzzles were stretched out from the ship's edge, gun ports or other places, and some even pushed out cannons directly.
"!!"
"you……"
Seeing this, the Portuguese officer suddenly suffocated, and then he suddenly realized that he seemed to... somewhat underestimated the determination and strength of the Li family fleet to resist?
However, he is not afraid!
Because they have more than 2,000 soldiers here in Madeira, which is not far from the mainland, and there are two forts on both sides of the pier. He doesn't think these Li family ships parked in the port can do anything. The ability to resist.
so……
"Fire!!"
When the two sides began to confront each other, with their guns aimed at each other and neither side gave in, the officer secretly retreated while quietly observing the situation, and after retreating to a safe distance behind the soldiers, He suddenly shouted out his attack order.
Snapped! Snapped!
Boom!
Boom! Boom!
Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!
The next moment, there was a chaos of gunfire on the pier, and clouds of gunpowder smoke rose directly into the sky after the violent combustion of gunpowder and gradually spread. The two sides were on the pier, on and off the boat, going back and forth. A great war broke out.
Boom!
Boom! Boom!
Snapped! Snapped!
It didn't take long for the battle situation to begin to develop in a direction that was favorable to the Li family fleet.
At this time, the Portuguese officer also understood. He had obviously underestimated the fighting will of the sailors of the Li family fleet and the power of those muskets. Moreover, their soldiers obviously did not have the planks and condescending attitude of the sailors of the Li family fleet. Shooting advantages and the power and accuracy of that wacky rifle!
So, in just a few minutes, the corpses of the Portuguese Jaegers wearing high hats and red tights fell to the ground in a mess. In the chaos, the Portuguese officer was even more frightened and embarrassed. Di took a few people and fled to the city.
The rest either fell in a pool of blood on the dock, or were hiding in groups in twos and threes behind piles of cargo or barrels, lingering, and began to shoot hard and sporadically at the sailors on the Li family ship, and from time to time someone would He screamed miserably and sprayed blood before falling dead on the stone floor of the dock.
The muskets in the hands of the Portuguese hunters are not as sophisticated as the Miné rifles in the hands of the sailors of the Li family fleet. They are far inferior in terms of power, accuracy and rate of fire. Therefore, without forming a musket array, They are definitely not opponents.
Of course, even if they form a musket formation, they will definitely not be their opponents!
boom!
boom! boom! boom!
Not long after, the frustrated Portuguese began to order the forts on both sides of the pier to open fire on the Li family ships in the port.
It's a pity that the accuracy of their cannons seems to be equally poor, so that in a round of more than a dozen cannonballs, except for two hits and two large holes in the outer walls of the ships of the Li family's fleet, there was nothing left. There weren't many results.
Then……
Then there is nothing more.
The Li fleet did not sit still and wait for death. Instead, they directly adjusted the firing angle of the naval guns on the deck, and then after a precise salvo, they beat the Portuguese soldiers on the forts to pieces and were wiped out.
Therefore, before sunset, the bad admiral of the Li family finally saved her fleet, successfully counterattacked, captured the port of Madeira, and removed the Portuguese governor from the other side. The governor's palace was driven out of the city.
Since the opponent and the remaining defeated generals were temporarily missing, the smoke-filled port and city of Madeira basically fell under the military control of the sailors of the Li Family Chamber of Commerce.
When the time reached noon on the third day, the gunshots that had been ringing for two days and one night finally subsided, and order was finally restored at the dock. Some people even began to organize vehicles to clean the battlefield and move away the hunters. 's corpse.
"Admiral!"
"No!"
"You innocently bombarded the port yesterday. The people in the city are very resentful of us occupying this place. For your safety, I would like to ask you to stay in the castle."
In the Governor's Palace in Madeira, the first mate stopped little Anne, who was about to take someone for a stroll in the city, and began to persuade her earnestly.
"??"
(๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
"A lot of resentment?"
=͟͟͞͞(꒪⌓꒪*)
"They were acting in self-defense. They hit us first, and then we fought back. Now it's our fault?!"
∑(´△｀)? !
Anne found it a little difficult to understand the first mate's statement. After all, in her opinion, their Li family fleet was the victim. Originally, they just wanted to come here to resupply and process some goods. They would stay for a day or two at most and then leave. But now, They had no choice but to fight back. How could those Europeans dare to be resentful?
"Could it be that there's that weird sense of over-defense here?"
( ﾟヘﾟ)”?
You know, she didn't eat any delicious food yesterday, nor did she eat the day before yesterday. Instead, she ate a lot of gunpowder smoke. She, Admiral Anne, was so resentful!
"this……"
"Anyway, Grand Admiral, we'd better be careful!"
"You'd better stay at the Governor's Palace or on the ship, don't go anywhere!"
Anyway, the first officer does not intend to occupy this place, because this is Europe, which is different from Africa, India, Southeast Asia, Japan and other places. The Europeans' local power is too powerful, although they are not united and have their own disputes. , but for the Li Family Chamber of Commerce, it is still difficult to occupy this archipelago.
He just wanted to repair the two ships that were breached in the artillery battle, and then leave here temporarily after completing supplies.
Of course, that was his first mate's idea. What to do would definitely require the approval and decision of their Admiral Anne.
"..."
(◎-◎；)
"If you don't want to go, don't go. By the way, what about Sister Li Huamei and the others?"
ﾍ(*–-)ﾉ
Annie knew it yesterday. It seems that the reason why they attacked was because those people didn't catch Li Huamei's group of idiots?
So, now she wants to know where the group of cowards who caused them such embarrassment went?
"this……"
"According to the captured officer, they disappeared after resupplying here more than a month ago. We didn't see them when we came up from Africa. My subordinates feel that if they didn't go to the North Sea, they should be there. Going to the New World.”
"According to their speed, they should be arriving soon, right?"
The first mate has never been to the New World. As for the distance, he doesn't know the distance. However, according to others, it takes about five to eight weeks or more to get to the New World from Madeira. Anyway, that's what he thought. almost.
"!!"
(ノдヽ)
"it's a pity!"
ε=(´ο｀*)))Alas
"We seem to have missed a little bit again!"
╮(╯▽╰)╭
"How about...eh?!"
|•'-'•)✧
Just when Annie was about to say something, Annie suddenly saw that Song Yifeng, who had sneaked out without telling her at any time, ran back in a panic with others, and started yelling as soon as he entered the door.
"Oh no!"
"A-Annie!!"
"I just met a guy named Rafael Castro on the dock!"
"That Portuguese man, he told me..."
"explain……"
As he spoke, Song Yifeng couldn't take a breath, so he had to stop and put his hands on his knees to gasp for air.
"say what?"
(^～^;)ゞ
Annie blinked, not knowing what the other person wanted to say.
"??"
The first mate also walked over with a curious look on his face, as if he was ready to hear more clearly.
"He said……"
"The Spaniards knew that we had come to Europe and that we had conquered Madeira. Therefore, the Commander-in-Chief of the Spanish Armada and the Admiral of the Royal Spanish Navy, Pedro de Barrudis, announced a plan to attack our Li family fleet. The war has begun!”
"He and his invincible fleet will come to attack us soon!!"
Finally, Song Yifeng told the news she heard with an anxious look.
"Armada?"
(｡•ˇ‸ˇ•｡)
However, Anne didn't seem to take it too seriously.
"Raphael Castro?"
"Second Admiral, as far as I know, that Rafael Castro seems to be a businessman in the Mediterranean. He has considerable power in Lisbon and the Mediterranean, and he is also Portuguese, right?"
"We have just captured this place, will he kindly come to inform us?"
"Moreover..."
"Isn't Portugal a vassal state of Spain?"
"Why didn't he help Spain and instead came to help us?!"
The first mate didn't know about the grudges between Spain and Portugal, nor did he know much about the situation in the Mediterranean and Europe. Therefore, he and others had just beaten the Portuguese severely, and even seized the port, but the result He couldn't understand the fact that a Portuguese businessman came to help the Li family's fleet.
"I……"
"I have no idea!"
"Anyway, that's what he said so confidently!"
"Annie, what should we do?!"
Song Yifeng was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't figure out why, so she could only look at the terrible admiral of the fleet in panic.
"Cold salad!"
o(´^｀)o
"Just let them come!!"
(￢д￢.)
You know, Anne is unhappy and suffocating now!
Her precious flagship "Xiang Feihu" was hit by those bad guys, and the cannonballs flew into her captain's cabin and made a mess. In addition, she couldn't go out to play or eat delicious food. Originally, she was planning to find someone to vent her anger on, so she just let those invincible fleets come to attack her.
Just in time, she thought about it, it seems that the Li Family Chamber of Commerce still lacks some ships to form a new 'Africa-Europe' escort fleet?
