No wonder people think that Jiangnan is good. At the end of January, Liaodong is still covered with ice and snow, but Hangzhou has begun to exude a little warmth. It is estimated that winter is the most unstoppable here. Several snowfalls have been sucked by the thirsty earth. Now only the layer of frost on the eaves can prove its existence.

Merchants value interests over separation, but if it weren't for the beautiful and decent life of the whole family, who would have been willing to leave the warm home and be bumpy on the ocean? It is precisely because of this kind of beautiful driving force for revitalizing the family business and leaving wealth for future generations. Not long after the New Year's Day, Hangzhou Port, which had only been resting for a few days, became busy again. Dock workers drove carriages and pulled the goods transported from the warehouse to the heavy wooden arm cranes. More than a dozen strong men in charge of pulling the pulley set were already sweating all over, and even threw the coats assigned by the company under the cold sea breeze.

On the other side, the shopkeeper wearing a mink jacket or neat cotton coat kept waving his hands and saying goodbye to his family outside the port fence.

However, this area is thriving, and it is not so beautiful for some people. No one knows that there is a dark secret passage under the busy port, responsible for transporting some "special" goods.

Luo Zhen is one of this special goods.

His upper body was naked. In the cold winter of late winter and early spring, he was already so cold that his body was purple and hunched, but he couldn't shout it out because his mouth was filled with a pile of rags, and his hands were tied in front of him, and he was pulled forward by the guards as the guards pulled the animal.

Killing people is just a lie. Killing him is too easy for Mao Jue! But it is also too cheap for him! Confucius once said: Complaint with one's own will, repay kindness with one's kindness! So what Mao Jue wants to deal with him is to let him experience the pain and humiliation brought by being betrayed by the closest and most trusted person, use all his things, and then be abandoned, and then let him continue to live in pain and humiliation.

There is nothing left when you die! Living is the punishment!

After undergoing castration surgery, he gave his own things to another eunuch as a precious burial object and was sold overseas for unknown places to be slaves. Luo Zhen was obviously collapsed, his eyes were unconscious, just like a walking corpse being dragged.

Fortunately, he was not lonely. There were still fifty or sixty people dragged together. No matter how bright the empire was, there were undercurrents below. No matter how kind he was, Mao Jue still had to deal with some political prisoners in the wrong team. Overseas became their only destination.

Through this dark corridor, a ship hatch that was particularly left on the shore was mounted on the lower deck and was pushed into a crowded cell. In Luo Zhen's unswerving look back, the prison door was closed heavily.

The revenge for him ends here. I am afraid that Luo Zhen will never be able to escape the fear, torture and torture in his heart in his life!

After sending him to sea, Mao Jue was finally relieved and became a king again, devoted himself to his imperial cause.

…………

Like the people who saw off below, the royal family is also experiencing parting, but others are giving away their husbands and Mao Jue gives away their daughter-in-law.

The mature uncle is undoubtedly very tempting to luoli. During this period, the two of them have completed this great revenge together. The relationship between Mao Jue and Luo Yu has obviously heated up a lot, but this is not a good thing. This farewell obviously makes it much more reluctant to leave.

In the luxurious dedicated passage, Mao Jue personally pulled Luo Yu's luggage, and the other hand pulled her little hand. The two walked side by side until the end of the passage, and could already see the large merchant ship swaying in the harbor in the distance. He stopped and handed the luggage to Luo Yu's hand reluctantly, saying goodbye a little dry.

"Take care all the way!"

"I know, please rest assured that as long as I am here, I can't cause any storm!"

"Um……"

Perhaps both of them were more professional and sensational, and said goodbye in a more formulaic way, which made the parting scene a little awkward. I don’t know what to say, but once again, he squatted and said with a blessing, dragging the big box, Luo Yu walked towards the ship dullly.

However, halfway through the walk, the little girl suddenly turned around eagerly, her face turned red, but she mustered up the courage to wave her hand suddenly at Mao Jue.

"Don't forget me!!!"

Mao Jue did not answer her voice, but simply took out her collar. After a moment, a ruby ​​was inlaid on one of the handles, and the exquisite golden feathers were taken out by him. Under the morning sunlight, it emitted a sparkling glow. It was obvious that the feather was unexpected. After a moment, Luo Yu showed a shy smile in surprise, lowered his head again, but in his steps, he was obviously a little lighter.

However, as she watched her get on the boat, Mao Jue's smile couldn't help but dim. Even if she didn't want to admit it, Luo Yu finally had the flavor of Luo Ning's substitute. The two women of the same Luo family were so different. If, if..., maybe the two of them would have another ending, right?

However, the feeling lasted for only a moment. When he calmed down, he rushed back to the carriage in a hurry. This battle had actually just begun. There were many things waiting for him as the decision-maker to do!

…………

The Ming Dynasty did not change much about the strategy of Central and Southern China. After all, the influence of the Ming Empire on the Indochina Peninsula was obviously far exceeding that of the Dutch. The East India Company only needed to continue to export weapons and further control the economic lifelines of several countries while the war was taking advantage of the war. Now the Dutch have only penetrated the Dongyu Dynasty, which is weak and cannot cause any storms in Central and Southern China.

However, this war with the Netherlands eventually affected Central and Southern China.

Starting from Hangzhou Bay and following the current wind direction, Luoning's fleet has arrived in the South China Sea in just over ten days. In another three or four days, he can return to the current East India Company's central coastal defense in Central South China.

On this day, sitting on the deck last time, as usual, Luo Yu was still looking through the company's reports page by page, getting out of the bad woman role, and changing into the tomboy's work outfit. Chu Tian, ​​the girl was bored and holding a telescope, looking left and right, and suddenly, the girl screamed excitedly.

"Sister Luo Yu, there is a boat!"

"Isn't it just a boat? Haven't you seen enough in Hangzhou Port?"

He was a little careless, while looking through the report, Luo Yu answered unconsciously, but Chu Tian immediately hummed in dissatisfaction.

"Can that be the same? Hangzhou Bay is anchored in the port, and here is marching on the sea!"

"I haven't seen any other fleet for many days. It's so boring!"

The speaker was unintentional, but he listened to it. Suddenly, Luo Yu stopped looking and turned his head suddenly in surprise.

"What did you just say? I haven't seen the boat for many days!"

"Yes! What's wrong?"

Also full of surprise, Chu Tian asked in surprise, but had no intention of explaining to her. She threw down the report in her hand. Luo Yu ran down from the bridge in a hurry, shouting loudly while running.

"Captain! Lord Zheng Chuan!!!"

The main force of the 240,000 Ming army was still slowly advancing towards Guangdong and Guangxi along the coast of Zhejiang, but the war had been going on for three months, and the Royal Navy, which set out first, had already fought with the Dutch fleet in the vast sea.

Although he was known as the sea coachman, he was just fighting for a fleet. At the foot of the Ming Dynasty, the Dutch were obviously a younger brother. In the first stage, the Royal Navy's First Squadron easily cut off the Dutch's support for the Longwu regime in Guangdong. But immediately, the Dutch launched the second stage of the tactics and pirate mode.

The warships heading north of Batavia were divided into several strands, and with its superb navigation technology, they began to harass everywhere. But let alone this move really made Mao Jue headache. Although the Ming Dynasty Royal Navy was powerful, in terms of the number of ships and the number of naval troops, it could catch up with the sum of several European colonial powers. After all, the Ming Dynasty coastline was too long and the vast sea did not have satellite navigation like later generations. For a time, there was no good way for the Dutch fleet like mosquitoes! The coastal counties were constantly raided and robbed by them, and the Ming Dynasty merchant ships were also attacked by them one after another.

Obviously, Luo Yu's Central and Southern branch fleet encountered a Dutch pirate team. The sea was a real horse running to death on the mountain! After the sailors on the Eagle's Nest discovered that there were ships on the sea level, it had been more than half an hour since the ships appeared in front of them.

Five national flags were not hung, and a single black skull flag was filled with three-masted Western Clippers flying in the sea breeze, and surrounded the Central and South merchant fleet from five positions.

It’s also a big blame for Mao Jue to maintain the order in Southeast Asia so well. Luo Yu is not Chu Sister. He has sailed so much, but this is the first time he has encountered a pirate. After all, he is a woman. Standing on the towering tail building, he looked at the sharp bows of five pirate ships in the telescope and rowed white waves. Luo Yu’s voice trembled a little.

"Captain, can there be a way to ask for help from the nearest Royal Navy?"

His eyebrows tightened slightly, and Chen Chuan, the captain of the flagship of the Central and South Branch, shook his head in a bit embarrassed.

"Your Highness, according to the chart, the fleet sailed two grids from the mainland. Even if you go to Qiongzhou for help, it will take a few days. It is too late to ask for help!"

"But your Highness don't worry!"

The eyes suddenly lit up, and the former retired mate of the Liaodong Navy bowed heavily in excitement.

"By our own sake, these lowly pirates can't do anything to us! Let's just follow the arrangements of our subordinates!"

As he said that, he could no longer suppress his excitement and took out the red flag from the flag box beside him, and waved it in a hurry and complex manner.

It was precisely because of the Dutch's pirate war that Mao Jue had to come up with a stupid way, that was, to join in groups, and would rather delay some trips than to gather the merchant ships together. This was also the reason why Luo Yu determined that the other party was a pirate ship at a glance. In the past half hour, the Ming Dynasty's maritime merchant fleet did nothing. The sails drove the masts to make a creaking sound. The maritime merchant fleet, which was ready to deal with, directly sailed and anchored. A total of twenty-six large and small merchant ships were like blooming lotus, protecting the largest Pangu-level 200-meter treasure ship in the middle.

No one knows what he can encounter in the vast ocean these days, so even merchant ships must be equipped with enough self-defense firepower. On one side, twelve cannons, and the sound of the slamming gun cabin hitting wood, dark cannons also showed their heads.

This hedgehog is not easy to mess with! Under Luo Yu's nervous gaze, it seemed that the opposite side also noticed that a pirate ship like a wolf pack stopped moving away from a few hundred meters away.

But just when Luo Yu felt relieved, suddenly, the fire of artillery fire started to sound deafeningly. She was caught off guard, and huge water columns suddenly raised on the side of the ship, and even a shell directly hit the deck, smashing the solid oak into a huge hole.
Chapter completed!
