At the estuary of the Yangtze River, five Western-Japanese sailboats drifted on the sea.

Look at their flags, a Portuguese merchant ship, three Dutch merchant ships, and a Spanish merchant ship.

Now on the sea, it is very dangerous. There are constant struggles between countries. It is also a wonder that the ships of the three countries can gather together peacefully.

The reason why the three Western barbarians came together this time was actually because not long ago, Gao Huan released news that he allowed merchant ships from various countries to enter Shanghai and trade in Liang Kingdom.

In order to create conflicts, Gao Huan did not directly send someone to invite him, but spread the news that the Westerners came to him.

Now the Liang Kingdom has further opened up Shanghai and allowed the Western Yi fleet to come for trade. If Zheng Zhilong comes forward to stop it, then there will be conflicts between the Western Yi and the Zheng family.

By then, the Liang Kingdom will be able to use the power of the Western barbarians to restrain the Zheng family's naval army.

If Zheng Zhilong did not stop it, then Western barbarians would come to purchase goods, which would broaden the sales of goods and drive the economy of Liang State.

At this time, five Western-Japanese merchant ships were wandering on the sea, and a blessing came by sailing through the wind and waves.

In Gao Huan's opinion, the Western Yi will be a more difficult opponent than Zheng Zhilong in the future.

The Western Barbarians have made great progress. When they cooperate with them, they must ensure that they have the power to fight.

Otherwise, if they were allowed to see that the weakness of the Liang State navy might be in turn dealing with the Liang State.

After all, this group of people is afraid of being weak and hard, and Gao Huan knows it better.

In order not to let the Western barbarians underestimate them, Gao Huan allocated the Dafu ship that had just been launched in the Longjiang Shipyard to the navy.

At this time, Liu Hui and Gu Sanmazi stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the five barbarian ships in the distance, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

"Governor, this barbarian ship is so big!" Gu Sanmazi said astonished.

Gu Sanmazi used to be in Dengzhou and often crossed the Bohai Sea. It was considered to have seen the world, but this is the first time he saw the five Western-Japanese sea ships in front of him.

These ships are larger than the Zheng family's ships, and even the Yi ships imitated by the Zheng family are all younger brothers compared to them.

Liu Hui stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the barbarian ship that was twice as big as the Dafu ship and the numerous cannon windows on the side, and was shocked.

Over the years, the Central Plains have always had a sense of superiority in their hearts when dealing with the four barbarians. Even if they are defeated by the barbarians, they still look down on the barbarians in their hearts.

Because the Central Plains have cultural confidence, they feel that the Central Plains civilization is more advanced than the barbarians. Apart from barbarians, the barbarians are not as good as the Central Plains in all aspects.

Now Liu Hui saw that the largest warship of the Liang army was huge and the number of artillery ships, and he was inevitably surprised. While feeling the huge threat, his inner confidence was also hit.

"Look at their hulls and sails!" Liu Hui pointed at the Xiyi fleet, "Their hulls are slender, with three masts standing on the bow, and there is an inclined sail on the boat. The sails on the boat are lateral and horizontal. The sails are more complicated than us and are more suitable for sea navigation."

At this time, the lucky ship broke through the waves and slowly retracted when approaching the barbarian ship, and the ship speed dropped.

On the Dutch armed merchant ship, the fleet commander Aoi, pointed to a flag hanging on the Fu ship, and asked a translator next to him in Dutch, "He Bin, whose ship is it?"

He Bin was a Han Chinese who worked for the Dutch East India Company. He looked at the nearby lucky boat and saw the word "liang" written on the flag. He smiled and said, "Master, you are the navy of Liang State!"

When Kui heard the words, she immediately ordered the sailors to lower the sails so that the ship could get closer.

Soon, the lucky ship approached the Dutch ship, and the sailors on both sides threw out ropes and fixed the two ships together.

The lucky ship was as tall as a city among the navy of Liang Kingdom, but when it was approaching the Western Barbarians, it was found that it was a bit shorter than the Russian ship. Liu Hui could only climb onto the Western Barbarians' ship from the rope ladder dropped by the Russian ship.

When he arrived on the deck, Liu Hui could not help but carefully look at the warships of the Western Yi, observing the cannons, masts and sails on the ship.

"This general, our commander asked, can the fleet dock?"

Kuiyi talked about birds singing, and He Bin immediately asked.

Liu Hui reacted and hurriedly said, "Yes, of course, I came here to tell you that the ship can dock!"

He Bin quickly translated for Kui. After hearing this, a group of Dutch people were immediately overjoyed.

At this time, Liu Hui reminded: "The ship can dock, and we welcome business to Daliang. However, if you have a word first, you must abide by my Daliang's laws. If you do something illegal, you will accept the handling of our Liang Guofan government in accordance with the law!"

He Bin heard the words and quickly translated them again.

Thanks to Zheng Zhilong's once beating the Dutch fleet, the Dutch, who are weak and afraid of hard, dare not be too rampant.

So Kui quickly promised that after getting ashore, she would abide by the rules of Liang State.

Liu Hui notified the Dutch, Spain and Portuguese merchant ships, and after they agreed to abide by the laws and regulations of the Liang Kingdom, he immediately guided the fleet into the estuary of the Yangtze River.

The fleet sailed westward, and the main mast looked up the tower, and the soldiers suddenly shouted loudly: "There is a ship in the north!"

Liu Hui hurried to the side of the ship and looked northward, and saw a fleet of people appearing in the direction of Chongming.

"It's the Zheng family's ship!" Gu Sanmazi said in a deep voice.

At this time, in the Zheng family's fleet, Zheng Sen was standing on a large ship, observing the estuary of the Yangtze River with a thousand-mile mirror. In the round lens, a Liang Junfu ship and five Western-Japanese merchant ships were moving slowly.

"Criminal! Hongmao Yi doesn't take the king's words seriously, will we fight?" Shi Lang looked at the ship in the distance and asked coldly.

Zheng Sen put down Qianlijing and said in a deep voice: "No hurry! I have a way to deal with them."

Shanghai County, County Government.

Gao Huan, who came from Nanjing, held a banquet in the yamen and invited the Western Yi who came to Shanghai.

Everyone’s conversations that are not right, and communication depends entirely on translation.

At this time, Gao Huan, Kuiyi and others sat at the same table. After these Western barbarians were served, they only cared about eating and drinking, and they did not understand at all. Eating in China is not just about eating, but about serious matters.

Gao Huan looked at these Western barbarians and couldn't help but smile, "A group of barbarians, I'll hold you to death!"

After saying that, he glanced at He Bin, "Don't turn this sentence!"

Kuiyi couldn't help but ask He Bin, "What did the noble Lord Liang just say?"

He Bin was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said, "King Liang asked the commander if the food is delicious, are you satisfied?"

When Kuiyi heard the words, she nodded quickly, "Satisfied, very satisfied! het is gone!"

Kuiyi knows a little Chinese, but it is just Minnan. Gao Huan speaks Henan dialect. Not to mention Kuiyi, even He Bin can only rely on guessing.

Gao Huan originally wanted to have a meal with the Western Yi to have a serious matter at the table, but in the end he could only have a meal with them.

At this time, he had enough wine and food. Kuiyi and others thanked Gao Huan for their entertainment and praised Liang Guo’s delicious food.

Gao Huan didn't say nonsense and said straight to the point: "You have come from Europa for thousands of miles, and your goal is just a word of wealth. This time you come here to buy the goods from our Liang Kingdom. I have been thinking about it over and over again and decided to allow you to come to Shanghai to purchase, and there is no limit on the number of ships every year. However, I have a request, hoping that you can sell your gunship to me!"

In the lobby, there were many Western Japanese who were smiling just now. After listening to He Bin's translation, he heard that Gao Huan wanted to gun the boat, and the smile on his face immediately became stiff.
