Chapter 1214 A shot that shocked the sky

There were nearly 120 warships in the Ming Dynasty and Spanish fleets in total, arranged on the sea, densely packed with waters.

Some people are confused about such a scene, and it seems that only the Spanish Invincible Armada back then can have such a scene.

Many people whispered, holding telescopes, muttering, not knowing what they were saying.

In the command room, Zheng Zhilong and Ao Kundo stood side by side. The two of them were holding telescopes, and their faces gradually became deserted and solemn.

When the ship arrived at the designated location, Zheng Zhilong put down his telescope, waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Fire the cannon!"

He is talking about ‘fire’, not starting!

As he finished speaking, the flag soldiers on the Hongwu quickly waved the flags, and then the flag soldiers of dozens of ships of all sizes danced.

A black cannon raised its head high, and its black muzzle looked up at the sky.

Bang bang bang

The cannons with more than a thousand gates opened fire together, aiming at the same place.

The black shells seemed to fill the air. From a distance, they looked like a huge black iron stream, drew an arc and landed onto the broken ship in the distance.

"Wow, I've never seen such a spectacular scene before..." Someone was amazed, as if there was no sound at all in the rumbling cannons.

More people held up telescopes, stared at the shells tightly, and then looked at the bombardment area.

Boom boom boom boom

The deafening explosion sounded, and waves were seen rising from the sea area, and wooden boats were overturned, accompanied by the waves and swept into the sky.

More of it was full of pieces, the sea area was in chaos, the explosion sounded like thunder, the sea water was rolling, and thick smoke soared into the sky.

"The Ming people's cannons are indeed farther than our range..."

“It’s also powerful…”

In the gap, someone was shouting loudly, and in a flash they were drowned in the sound of cannons again.

Zheng Zhilong stared at the telescope, his eyes bulging into the telescope.

Ao Kundo was once again surprised by the power of the Ming Dynasty artillery, and had no expression on his face. He put down his telescope and glanced at Zheng Zhilong faintly.

The artillery of the Ming Dynasty continued, thousands of cannons continued to fire, and the entire exercise area was like thunder, and it continued to stop.

Black shells were thrown away, like black dragons in the sky, intimidating.

The bombed area Yijun could not see the complete shipboard. The smoky sky was shining with the flames, and the fire was burning violently on the sea.

In total, three rounds of shelling were bombarded. Zheng Zhilong looked at the sea of ​​fire, narrowed his eyes, felt relieved, put down his telescope, held the knife in his right hand, and there was a surging evil spirit on his body.

With such a powerful navy, he did not believe that the small pope dared to disrespect them!

Okundo looked at the sea of ​​fire and his always calm expression slowly sank.

There, with the sea breeze, the waves surging, and the fire filled the entire sky, as if it could swallow everything!

The sound of cannons gradually stopped, and the flames in the distance rolled like monsters, spreading their teeth and claws on the sea.

Maynard had put down his telescope, reached out to touch his smooth chin, and turned to look at the cabin command room.

He was quite proud and secretly excited. Fortunately, he found Zheng Zhilong yesterday. Although he was just talking nonsense, he was considered to have burned the cold stove.

The Pope has hit the nail on the head this time, and I believe it will change its attitude soon. Although Spain signed various treaties with the Ming Dynasty, Spain is not as good as the Netherlands' advantage!

Maynard's eyes were hot, as if he had seen rolling gold coins pouring into his arms.

Antonio still opened his mouth wide and looked shocked.

In order to compete for hegemony with Spain, the Frank Kingdom was also developing its navy, but it had no results. Moreover, the Spanish invincible fleet was destroyed, and France was not very concerned about it, but this time, he was shocked.

The most terrified person is Maidarzini.

He stood on the watchtower, his hands trembling.

The Cardinal beside Maidalzini spoke first and said, "Your Excellency, this Ming man actually has such a fleet. I'm afraid Spain is worse than that?"

Maidalcini's face was calm, his eyes were filled with coldness, and he said, "This is just one of them. I heard that they have at least five. Although the Ming Kingdom is too far away from us,..."

The Cardinal leaned slightly, and although Maidarzini had not finished speaking, his meaning was very clear. The Ming Dynasty was so powerful that no matter how far it was, it was a powerful danger that it could not be ignored, nor could it be offended.

Maidalcini looked at the sea of ​​fire on the sea for a long time without saying a word, not knowing what she was thinking.

Not far away from them, Chau Wang was whispering something alongside an old man in his seventies.

The old man said, "You are right. We need the friendship of the Ming Dynasty. Things in Asia cannot be started with war."

Johnson Chan was overjoyed and said, "What you said is."

This is a former Pope who has a great influence in the Holy See. His words are more useful than Maidarzini, and the current Pope Innocent X must also be respectful.

The conversations of these people were quietly sent to Zheng Zhilong's ears, which made Zheng Zhilong breathe a sigh of relief.

Okundo had calmed down, looked at the sea of ​​fire in the distance, turned to Zheng Zhilong and said, "Zheng, you should have done something, right?"

Although the Ming Dynasty shells had incendiary bombs, it was impossible to burn such a large area on the sea. As a Spanish navy's longtime general, Okundo could naturally see some clues.

Zheng Zhilong looked at him, laughed, and then walked out loud.

As soon as Zheng Zhilong came out, a group of people flocked to him, and all kinds of enthusiastic words were unprecedented, and some noble ladies even wanted to carry them over directly.

Zheng Zhilong, now the center of the world, politely invited Maynard, Antonio, Maidarzini and others to the cabin living room and held a formal banquet to entertain these people.

These people had ulterior motives before, and were silent and unstable about their relationship with the Ming Dynasty. Now, they can basically tell the truth and make a decision.

Maynard had burned the cold stove before, but now he is not anxious or impatient. He just said a few compliments and smiled and listened quietly to the others.

Antonio, the governor of Frank, was full of enthusiasm and even read a poem about friendship and toasted frequently.

Maidalzini was very quiet, drinking silently, looking up at Zheng Zhilong from time to time, and then glancing at the old man next to Joshua Chan.

This matter was complicated. He was full of covetousness towards the Eastern Kingdoms. There was gold everywhere and it was richer than Europe. However, the situation has changed now. Not only did the Ming Dynasty perform strong enough, but the old guy next to Joshua Chan was also added.

Maidalzini put down his wine glass, and he thought to himself, get off the boat as soon as possible, return to the cathedral, and consult Pope Innocent X.

Although the outside world said that Innocent X obeyed his words, in fact, he acted according to Innocent X's orders and thoughts.
