Since Kangxi opened the sea ban, ships from Western countries often came to the port of China for maritime trade.

They sold imported products shipped from Europe to Qing Dynasty merchants at high prices, and then supplemented silk tea and other special products from ports to Southeast Asia, countries along the Indian Ocean, and even risked transporting them back to Europe for sale.

Since the Age of Discovery, the world's boundaries have narrowed rapidly, and the right way to promote national development in commerce and trade.

The Qing Dynasty gave up opening the sea because of pirates, which was purely a move of choking and stupidly reversing history.

Xin Sheng had no good feelings for the Qing Dynasty dominated by wild boar skin. This was a dynasty that caused humiliation from the Chinese.

The stupid rule of the Qing Dynasty widened the gap between China and Western countries, and the weak Qing Dynasty directly led to a series of subsequent tragedies.

During the reign of Kangxi, the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty were not completely abolished like in the late Qing Dynasty. The terrible nature of following Huang Taiji and Dorgon to fight the world was still there.

The Zhenghuang Banner is one of the three upper banners among the Eight Banners and is directly led by the Qing emperor.

Judging from the fleet size, ship weapon configuration and draft, this small fleet of three ships should be a merchant ship, which is the so-called imperial merchant.

In 1690, the Zheng family in Taiwan had been destroyed, and there were many merchant ships on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. This fleet should be a trade ship from Quanzhou to Taiwan.

"boom!"

After hanging the black flag representing the pirates, the Jackdaw's bow was the first to open fire.

The Qing navy of this era...or navy was very weak.

In the early Qing Dynasty, the navy was mainly based on inland river defense, while the sea waterproof division was completely out of scale.

The large ocean-going naval commander in the Qing Dynasty was not founded until the late sunny period, and Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang and others, which are the four major naval commanders that later generations often call them.

However, the only one who truly has sufficient combat effectiveness is the Beiyang Navy.

In the current era, the sea trade ships of the Qing Dynasty could almost be said to have no combat effectiveness.

Not to mention the old ship shape, the research and development of gunpowder weapons is also extremely backward.

In front of Xin Sheng's carefully carved Jackdaw, these merchant ships were like young children with no power to tie a chicken in front of the burly man full of tendons.

When the Jackdaw took advantage of the enemy fleet's reaction to seize the wind position and pushed the hull with the most fierce firepower across the side, the outcome of these three armed merchant ships was already destined.

Three old ships soon became riddled with holes under the bombardment of the Jackdaw guns, and the hull began to soak in water and sink.

Barnabas had some sympathy for the poor sailor who fell into the water: "Captain, do you want to board the ship and grab the goods?"

"Need not."

Xin Sheng said coldly: "Don't launch any more attacks. Let's continue to go north and let them die."

The three armed merchant ships were destined to sink, but because Xin Sheng did not kill them all, the merchants on the ship could escape through the boat.

"Dole!"

On the main ship of Zhenghuang Banner, a pale middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes entered the boat under the protection of his servants.

An arrow that flew from nowhere suddenly nailed to the wooden board of the boat, and the noble businessman was so scared that he almost fell to the ground.

"Master, there seems to be letters tied to the arrow."

"Take it... and take it over and I'll take a look."

A man in gorgeous clothes with a little trembling hands took the letter from the Baoyi slave, with only a few big words written on it.

"There are no longer a dog, and you want to do it yourself."

...

While continuing to sail north, the Jackdaw encountered official merchant ships flying Qing flags many times.

These merchant ships were sunk mercilessly by the Jackdaw.

But Xin Sheng did not do anything to ensure that the enemy would evacuate after losing combat effectiveness, leaving a glimmer of life for those who survived.

Xin Sheng's mood was quite complicated at this time.

He knew that this behavior was very naive and could not reverse the fact that the Qing Dynasty was in power, but was just a simple vent of anger.

But when Xin Sheng thought of the ten days of Yangzhou, the three massacres of Jiading, and the humiliation that modern China suffered due to the corruption of the Qing Dynasty, he felt disgusted.

To put it more pretentiously, it is called imperfect thoughts.

Bypassing the Korean Peninsula, Qing Dynasty ships could no longer be seen on the Jackdaw's sailing route, and Xin Sheng finally calmed down.

‘What’s the use of the Qing Dynasty that destroyed this world? It’s just one of countless parallel worlds and cannot reverse history.’

"Captain! There are fleets in the northeast blocking the road, and it seems that the visitors are not good!"

The loud shouts from the lookout awakened Xin Sheng.

Using Hawkeye to share his vision with Daedalus flying in the sky, Xin Sheng saw what the lookout said to stop the ship.

“…Jong Ship?”

There are 8 ships blocking the road. Daedalus' sharp eagle eye can clearly observe the equipment of these ships, as well as the dress and mental state of the sailors on the deck.

Compared with the weak armed merchant ships before, the Junke fleet that blocked the road this time was equipped with more artillery, and the sailors on the ship were also fuller in spirit, and they looked like...

"pirate?"

Xin Sheng's expression was a little weird: "I actually grabbed our heads? Is there any brain problem?"

The Jackdaw is a typical European Galen sailing ship, and its streamlined design is a classic work in the sailing era.

Moreover, the Jackdaw took into account both firepower and speed, and it looked very difficult to mess with from the outside. Xin Sheng really didn't expect that the pirates would dare to rely on their numerical advantage to try to rob the Jackdaw.

"Um?"

When using Daedalus's vision to look at the largest Junke sailboat, Xin Sheng suddenly saw a familiar figure.

It was a middle-aged and elderly woman with thick foundation on her face. Her makeup skills... to be honest, it was quite lame.

People in this era have little better understanding of makeup. The Western European women Xin Sheng saw in Quanzhou Port also applied makeup powder like ghosts.

"That old woman..."

Xin Sheng held his chin with thoughtful hands and pondered: "Pirate Lord in the Pacific region, Mrs. Qing?"

In the world view of Pirates of the Caribbean, pirates from all over the world once gathered together to form the Pirate Guild.

Mrs. Qing’s husband was once a pirate lord in the Pacific Ocean. After her husband died, she used thunder to suppress the pirates infighting and still controls the huge pirate forces today.

Ports along the coast of China, North Korea, Russia and Japan are threatened by pirates from Mrs. Qing, who is well-deserved as the Pacific pirate lord.

Xin Sheng once specifically verified the relevant information about this Mrs. Qing who was rampant in East Asia, and the information found made Xin Sheng a little amused.

Although most of the background of Pirates of the Caribbean follows real history, this is a magical world after all, and cannot be completely copied from reality.

The prototype of Mrs. Qing is Zheng Yisao, who has actually existed in history, and her real name is Shi Xiang Gu.

However, Zheng Yisao's active era was from the late 18th century to the early 19th century, which was a hundred years behind the current period, and was one of the magical changes made by the pirates of the Caribbean worldview to historical figures.

The Junke ship is the name of Chinese sailing ships in Western countries. The standard Junke ship has two large sails on it.

But the sails of the Jung ship were not facing the wind, but were facing the wind with a horizontal and slightly pouring surface.

This design allows the Junk to maintain a certain navigation speed even in the wind, without the need to lift sails as frequently as Western ships.

But the disadvantages are also obvious. When the explosion speed is required, the Jung ship will definitely not catch up with the Garen ship in a good wind.

Rongke ships appeared in large numbers near the coast of China in the 15th and 18th centuries. When Zheng He, a famous eunuch of Sanbao in the Ming Dynasty, voyages from the West, his treasure ship was also transformed with Rongke ships as a prototype.

Mrs. Qing's flagship is about 80 meters long, and looks bigger than the 65-meter-long Jackdaw.

However, Xin Sheng is sure that if he really fights at sea, this large Jung ship will not be the opponent of the Jackdaw.

With the small and medium-sized frigates around her, even if the Jackdaw couldn't beat it, it would be fine to run away.

"Barnabas, send someone to ask the other party what he wants to do in flag language?"
