Qi Ye has only been more than a year since he left the army. Moreover, after arriving at the General Administration of Marine Trade, although he had no identity as a soldier in the Ming Dynasty, he still did the work of leading troops to fight. His subordinates were probably old men who had retired from the navy before. For him, although his identity had changed, his life had not changed much. So as soon as he got on the ship, he could still maintain the style of his former soldiers.

At the third update, he came here on time. The biological clock he had developed for many years in the army made him wake up naturally when he reached this point, because at this time, he had to patrol his warship.

Picking up a cup from the table, drinking the cold water inside, and walking out of the cabin with a knife. After returning from Sanfoqi last time, he learned about the great changes in the Ming Navy, the new warships and powerful artillery, which had wiped out hundreds of warships in Pattaya with six warships. When he suddenly heard these news, Qi Ye almost regretted death. How could he miss such a good era and such a good warship? If he still stayed in the army, even if he couldn't be the captain, it would be a good thing to participate.

This feeling lingered him for a long time, and it was not until this time he led his team to sea again that the regret finally disappeared. Although he left the Ming Navy, wasn’t he still fighting for the Ming Dynasty? When he broke through the Sanfoqi Port and saw his sailors planting the Ming Sun and Moon Flag into the Sanfoqi Port, he felt that he seemed to have returned to the past, and that feeling was just the same.

There is no medicine for regret in the world. I can't think of everything. He was very determined, and when he stepped into the steps of the far tablet again, he threw this feeling behind his mind.

As for the steam artillery warship that I long ago, and the powerful Maritime Trade Association, maybe I can get one for him in the future.

Walking on the deck, blown by the cold wind, the last bit of sleepiness left was driven away without a trace. Looking at the more than 50 merchant ships quietly anchored on the sea, a hint of pride in his heart. In the past, he was just the first mate of a main warship, and his power was very limited to the truth. Apart from executing all the commands of the captain, he basically had no autonomy. But now, he is the one who is the only one among the more than 50 merchant ships.

Although it was a merchant ship, it was an armed merchant ship. This was nothing in the Ming Dynasty. However, when he walked on the sea with this force, it was enough to make people like Sanfoqi kneel down at his feet and tremble.

The Ming Dynasty was always changing with each passing day, and it seemed to be changing every day, which made Qi Ye and the others think that the outside was similar to the Ming Dynasty, but when they really walked out, they saw completely different things. The place like the Three Buddhas Qi was probably the same as when he was a child when he was running around the wild with his butt naked.

The sea water slowly poured in waves, gently slapped on the hull. The sound of water was bright for people like Qi Ye. The sound of the boat was rhythmically rising and falling with the sound of the buzzing waves. Qi Ye walked steadily on the deck. Wherever there were cables and crossbows were placed, he was familiar with the arrangements on these boats, and even if he walked with his eyes closed, he would not bump into them. What's more, there was a moon in the sky today.

After walking around the boat, he decided to go back and have a sleep.

Just as he was about to push open the hatch door, he stopped again, always feeling something was wrong. So he turned around and walked to the side of the boat, looking at the waves rushing in through the moonlight.

Suddenly, he was so excited that his hair all over his body suddenly stood up. The waves that still seemed to be rushing in normal situations had become extremely ferocious in front of him.

He choked and pulled out the sword on his waist and roared with all his strength. "Enemy attack, enemy attack."

There is something wrong with the waves.

The enemy that came to attack was the kind of submersible ship from Qi State.

The first time the Qi people sank the main warship of the Ming Dynasty was to use the submersible ship to approach the warship quietly and then launch an attack. It was also the only main warship that the Ming Dynasty sank so far. After that, the Ming Dynasty made a complete submersible ship based on the fact that the Qi people were still semi-submersible ships. Later, the Qi people also developed this special ship that could sail underwater for a period of time.

After the emergence of this ship, the Ming Navy indeed felt the threat because it was a brand new combat mode. Although this ship could not sail alone and could only be used as auxiliary warships for the main warships, they did have an unusual role in lurking and sneaking.

In order to deal with this kind of diving boat, the Ming navy tried all kinds of ways, one of which was to distinguish the changes in the waves when this diving boat approached.

At that time, Qi Ye, who was the first mate of the main warship, was of course extremely skilled in mastering this skill.

As if echoing his roar, the sound of water suddenly increased. A submersible boat, no smaller than a merchant ship, slowly exposed his back from the sea. As it approached the armed merchant ship, the closed door on the ship began to slowly be pushed open, and teams of soldiers rushed out from the inside.

Qi Ye's roar was heard far away in the quiet sea, and more than fifty merchant ships were awakened in an instant.

A submersible ship can carry nearly 100 combatants. This kind of ship exists purely to sneak attack the opponent's warships. All the places where people can be blocked are crowded. Because it is only a short-range attack, it is naturally not comfortable. As Qi Ye's armed merchant ship, the entire ship and combatants, has only less than fifty people. If Qi Ye did not discover the appearance of these submersible ships in advance, when these submersible ships were caught up in the absence of defense, Qi Ye could not imagine the consequences.

The advantage now is that they are in the process of stopping the sermon, so their armed merchant ships are connected together, and the outer side is all the same armed merchant ships. As for the actual loading merchant ships, they are surrounded by them.

But Qi Ye was also very clear that since the diving ship appeared here, the enemy's real main battleship would not be too far away from here. When he saw the diving ship floating from the bottom of the water, Qi Ye knew who he had encountered.

More than fifty armed merchant ships were instantly alarmed, and the battle began the moment the submersible ships collided with the armed merchant ship.

The armed merchant ships were equipped with many crossbows, but when they suddenly happened, they found the enemy, and there was no chance to operate the crossbows. All that was left was a bloody hand-to-hand combat.

There were three semi-submersible ships, more than 300 enemies, and Qi Ye had fifty merchant ships, almost 2,500 people. The best thing was that when they were mooring, more than 50 merchant ships were connected to anchor. When a battle occurred, the sailors could jump directly from one ship to another warship.

None of the people who dared to run such ocean-going trade were timid, and most of the ships were retired sailors from the Ming Dynasty. This time they were preparing to conquer another country, so the land battle of Qi State Navy, which quietly approached, was considered a big disaster. After the initial chaos, the armed merchant ships quickly stabilized the situation and surrounded the three submersible ships who came up in three places to fight.

When they stabilized their positions, it represented the end of the navy troops who came to attack in Qi.

When Qi Ye, covered in blood, brought several crossbow machines with a murderous intent with a group of people, the surrounded group of Qi sailors showed despair.

"Surrender, or die?" Qi Ye roared at the other party.

At this time, a small Qi fleet was anchored on the water, and they were the ones who launched an attack on the merchant ship.

Three main warships and more than ten other warships are the entire strength of this small fleet. Now Fan Xin has completely spilled out the power in him and sought food on the vast sea. And they have been following Qi Ye's fleet for a whole day after occasionally discovering Qi Ye's fleet.

If they were attacking the whole group, it would be difficult for Qi Ye to get it. There was still a gap between armed merchant ships and real warships, let alone compared with the main warships. But now the people of Qi do not want to simply sink these merchant ships. They not only need ships, goods, but also people.

Fan Xin wanted to build their old nests on that stone island and build a strong fortress, which required a large number of people. The people on these merchant ships were the best coolies. No one who traveled far away from home would be weak, but they were all strong guys. It would be great to catch them and work.

The complete capturing of these merchant ships will also be a powerful supplement to their future lives. If the warships are broken, they need to be repaired, and if the warships are sunk, they need to be supplemented. After the merchant ship is modified, it can still be used as auxiliary warships.

However, Yi Shengfa, the general of Qi who led this fleet, never expected that this huge merchant fleet was a team that was preparing to destroy a small country with murderous intent. When his feet were desperately kicking towards the weak chicken he thought in front of him, he never expected that when he stepped out, there was an iron plate in front of him.

In his estimate, there would be no more than one thousand people in this merchant fleet. He took out nearly four hundred water marines in his small fleet to deal with some merchant ship sailors, which should be stress-free. Now, he was judging the time and slowly approaching the battlefield.

He hoped that the Marines' soldiers would have solved the enemy by the time he arrived.
