Chapter 425 The End Is Also the Beginning. The World Is Even More Chaotic.

Chapter 425 The end is also the beginning... The world is even more chaotic.

Rumble...Rumble...Rumble...

Above the East China Sea, wind and clouds gather.

The Giant Whale Gang posted hero posts widely, and countless warriors gathered on the unknown treasure island in the East China Sea. Many Japanese pirates and merchants also rushed over.

How could there be no reaction from the imperial court in such a big scene?

"Crash la la la..."

Above the East China Sea, a ship broke through the sea. It was a ship belonging to the imperial guards along the coast. The soldiers and horses on it were all elite soldiers mobilized by the guards along the coast.

Although the various military offices in the imperial court no longer had the same bravery as when the country was founded, and were severely underpaid, they were still able to gather some elite soldiers, and this time they were all gathered on the coast of the East China Sea.

The storm in the East China Sea is rising again, and news about the treasures left by the Southern Song Dynasty royal family is spreading a lot. Some people even rumored that the jade seals passed down from the Southern Song Dynasty are among the treasures. Such a huge treasure could not be more sensitive to the imperial court.

On a treasure ship guarded by many imperial naval officers, a reluctant figure wearing golden armor stood on the bow of the ship, looking at the distant island with "clairvoyance" and observing the situation there.

"Grand Commander, we and other naval forces have completed the encirclement of this place and are waiting for your order."

All the officers of the navy came to the ship to report the situation. Facing the Commander-in-Chief, who was looking into the distance, no one dared to show contempt.

Although the Grand Governor was very young and had only been on duty at the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion for a short time, his status and qualifications were beyond the reach of everyone present.

The tenth prince of the late emperor, the younger brother of His Majesty, the vanguard of the Northern Army, Zhu Wuwu, who had made numerous military exploits and was awarded the title of Iron Gallant God Marquis.

"The Ming Dynasty Navy defeated the bandits!"

Following the order from Grand Governor Zhu Wuli, all naval divisions of the Ming Dynasty entered combat mode. Each guard entered the combat position, furled the main sail and prepared to fire. All the flammable materials on the open deck had been cleared away, and each battleship The ship could rush into the battlefield at any moment.

"Command, reload!"

The commanders of various naval divisions issued orders, and the soldiers on the ships equipped with cannons were all operating the cannons and aiming into the distance.

The Ming Dynasty had firearms, and the Shenji Camp among the three major camps in the capital was famous for its firearms.

During the Yongle Dynasty, Emperor Taizong Wen and Zhu Di led the Northern Expedition, with the three major battalions of the capital as the main force. Before each battle, the firearms of the Shenji Battalion were bombarded first. Therefore, in that era, the Tatars, Oaras, etc. None of the Mongolian tribes dared to fight head-on with the Ming army.

Later, it was just a civil fort, coupled with the purge after the Seizing the Gate Incident, the three major camps in the capital were basically abolished. However, the development of firearms in the Ming Dynasty has not been lost, but there is no original one. Development speed and such good quality.

When Xu Xin was preparing for military affairs, he did not focus on firearms from the beginning, but only focused on quality. The Ming Dynasty's firearms were not far behind in this era. Just like today's naval battles, with continuous gunfire, it is definitely a spectacular scene.

Outside the Nameless Treasure Island, the Ming navy was closing in and surrounding it. On the deck of the Dafu ship, the gunners cooperated with each other and completed the reloading of all the artillery on both sides of the ship as quickly as possible.

"fire!"

"fire!"

"fire!!!"

It was obviously a very backward bronze cannon, but the commander shouted out the power of the Italian cannon. Following an order, countless cannonballs flew towards the sea, targeting the ships docked on the island.

Yes, these ships are the targets of attack.

The firearms of the Ming Dynasty are among the best in the world, but they cannot be compared with the range and power of later generations.

Most of the cannons in this era were solid bullets, which were just enlarged firecrackers. In terms of power, they were... average. In terms of range, they were about a few hundred meters!

This kind of artillery can be used to deal with ships, but if it bombards islands... just think about it, it is impossible to actually do it.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom……"

White gunpowder smoke rose from the sea, orange-red gun flames kept lighting up, and the blazing shells emitted a harsh roar in the air, covering the ships approaching hundreds of meters away.

"Puff puff puff puff..."

A large part of the cannonballs fell into the water, causing huge white waves, but only a few of them hit the ships one after another.

The solid cannonballs caused full damage after hitting the ship, tearing apart ships one after another, carrying countless wooden fragments and bouncing across a large area of ​​the lower deck.

"ah……"

"The navy of the Ming Dynasty!"

"What are they going to do!"

"Run, run!"

There are still some left-behind personnel on many ships. They are either old, weak, sick or injured. They knew they could not go to the island to compete, so they stayed to guard the ship. Unexpectedly, they were now bearing the brunt and became the first batch of pirates to be killed. .

"The Ming Dynasty Navy has been ordered to suppress the bandits. Anyone not involved should leave as soon as possible!"

"The Ming Dynasty Navy has been ordered to suppress the bandits. Anyone not involved should leave as soon as possible!"

"The Ming Dynasty Navy has been ordered to suppress the bandits. Anyone not involved should leave as soon as possible!"

…

The declarations that were heard one after another on the sea were not only a warning from the Ming Dynasty Navy to the people gathering inside and outside the treasure island, but also represented a signal.

The Ming Navy came here to suppress bandits this time, not specifically targeting everyone... Smart people would definitely not believe it, but it could always divide a group of people. For a time, the people on the treasure island were quickly divided into several parties.

"Warrior of the Ming Dynasty, suppress the bandits and eradicate the bandits!"

"Warriors of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Suppress the bandits!"

...

The voices of suppressing the bandits and eliminating the bandits also rang out on the nameless treasure island. Several gangs with imperial backgrounds, such as the Giant Whale Gang, suddenly changed from local gangs to regular Ming Dynasty guards, and chased and killed a group of people who were obviously Japanese pirates.

"Giant Whale Gang, this is the conspiracy of the Giant Whale Gang."

"What a bullshit conspiracy of the Giant Whale Gang, the imperial court wants to deal with us."

"Everyone fight with the running dogs of the imperial court."

"Ming people don't kill Ming people, sir, we are good sea merchants and good people! Not Japanese pirates!"

"Sir, I surrender, we surrender..."

The smoke of war was everywhere, and the island was in chaos. Martial artists, barbarians, Japanese pirates, coastal giants... Countless people were fighting together in this chaos. Some smart people were already robbing ships and escaping, but very few could really escape.

This special sea area is full of undercurrents and reefs. If you are not careful, it is easy to hit the reefs and sink the ship. In addition, the Ming navy that surrounded the islands is like a net that will catch everyone who enters this place.

The sounds of fighting and screaming continued, turbid currents and broken wood surged everywhere on the sea, and on the islands, all kinds of melees continued.

The East China Sea treasure incident finally came to an end, and the Ming Dynasty became the "winner" and took most of the treasure.

However, the end is also the beginning. Many pearls and jade treasures, martial arts secrets, rare treasures and iron from the East China Sea have been scattered all over the world, triggering a series of disputes and chaos. The world is even more chaotic.
