Of course, these things have changed now. Although the flag of Zheng Yiguan is still hanging, the real controller has become Zhao Wen.
Merchant ships pass by from time to time on the sea, and the maritime merchants of this era are half merchants and half pirates.
When they meet someone weaker than themselves, they will directly pounce on them and tear them to pieces.
If you encounter someone stronger than yourself, you will stay away from it.
When these merchant ships saw Zhao Wen's fleet, they hurriedly raised their sails and fled to the distance.
Among these ships was Foreman who came out of Putmans and was about to go to the country of Wa.
Zhao Wen stood on the ship tower, looked at these fleets that kept them at a respectful distance, and ignored them.
The main purpose now is to attack the city of Zeelandia, and put aside other things for the time being.
A few days later, Zhao Wen finally arrived at Taiyuan Island.
Zeelandia City is located in the south of Taiyuan Island, and Zheng Yiguan's power in Taiyuan Island is in the north of Taiyuan Island. There is a big difference between the two.
Although the difference is far, the friction between the two is not small.
After Zhao Wen arrived at Taiyuan Island, he first went to Zheng Yiguan's site on Taiyuan Island.
The current Zheng Yiguan's territory on Taiwan Yuan Island has been taken over by Qi Qingtian, and a city has been built where the common people gather, and it is named Xincheng.
Zhao Wen arrived in the new city, and after delivering some supplies to Qi Qingtian, he led the fleet to Zeelandia City.
Sixty miles away from the city of Zeelandia, Zhao Wen let the lucky boats in the fleet dock, and released the soldiers on these lucky boats, led by Song Hu and Mao Chengzuo, and marched towards the city of Zeelandia.
About 120 soldiers were released this time, all of them were fully armed, but because the 107 mortars and [-] rockets were relatively heavy, they were not equipped.
After putting these people down, Zhao Wen sent the lucky boats to Xincheng, and he led the fleet to stop on the sea south of Zeelandia City, more than 50 miles away from Zeelandia City.
This time Zhao Wen chose to attack from both land and water directions. When the people on land arrived at a place about ten miles away from Zeelandia City, they would send out a signal, and then both sides would attack at the same time.
At this time, five sailing warships were docked in the port outside the city of Zeelandia. These five sailing warships set out from Batavia to deliver supplies for the city of Zeelandia.
After a long voyage, the crew on the ship was extremely sleepy. Except for those left behind on the ship, the others basically went to Zeelandia.
Zhao Wen stood on the top of the ship building, looked in the direction of Zeelandia City, and said to Zhao Daniu beside him: "It's getting late today, we will launch an attack tomorrow.
According to the itinerary, Song Hu and the others will be able to reach the outside of Zeelandia City no matter what they do tomorrow morning.
Wait for their signal when the time comes, and launch an attack as soon as a signal comes out. "
"As ordered!"
Zhao Daniu cupped his hands at Zhao Wengong and said loudly.
At this time, in the Governor's Mansion of Zeelandia City, Putmans sat in the office, looked at his friend Foreman standing opposite him, and said playfully: "You said you met a huge monster on the sea. There are five ships in the fleet like mountains?"
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. After leaving the city of Zeelandia that day, I planned to go to the country of Wa, but I met this huge fleet on the way, so I hurried back to tell you."
Foreman stood in front of Putmans and said solemnly.
"Haha, Siviri, did you hear that? Look at how frightened our old friend Foreman is? Tell him who is the real overlord on this sea."
Putmans pointed at Siviri, who was sitting next to the office, drinking coffee, and laughed.
This Siviri is the commander of the five sailing warships in the outer port.
Siviri put down the coffee in his hand, stood up, and walked to Foreman, "I don't know if what you said is true or not, even if it is true, so what?
Our fleet is the most powerful fleet in the world, we have the best sailing ships and the best soldiers and commanders in the world.
In this backward country, we are the overlord on the sea, and no one is our opponent.
You just saw a few relatively large ships, which frightened you into such a state, what big things can you do in the future? "
Siviri's face was full of arrogance. He never believed that there were ships bigger than their sailing warships in this backward eastern world.
If so, it must be a dream.
"I really saw it with my own eyes. Not only me, but also my crew. If you don't believe me, you can ask them. I really didn't lie to you. Why don't you believe it?"
Foreman was so anxious that his forehead was covered with sweat, trying to convince the two of them.
But how could they, who have been arrogant and arrogant for a long time, listen to these words?
"My friend, you must be tired, it will be dark soon, don't leave today, sleep here.
I will let the oriental girl here serve you well. "
Putmans said to Foreman with a smile on his face.
"Yes, yes, let me tell you, these oriental girls are the most juicy, you should enjoy it." Siviri also said with a smile on his face.
Seeing the two of them like this, Foreman slapped his thigh helplessly and depressed, and walked out of the room.
Putmans and Siviri will eventually pay the price for their arrogance, and the price will not be too far away.

Chapter 309 Breaking Their Walls
After Foreman walked out of the Governor's Mansion, he returned to his boat with a gloomy expression.
The ship he was on is now docked at the pier outside the city of Zeelandia. He has two merchant ships in total.
Foreman stood at the bow, looked at the city of Zeelandia, and said to the sailors behind him, "Let's go, go back, go back to Batavia, I always have a bad feeling."
The sailors on the ship didn't ask why, they directly pulled up the anchor, raised the sail, and headed towards Batavia.
"My lord, there are two ships sailing away from the pier outside the city of Zeelandia, what should we do?" Zhao Daniu rushed into the ship building, looked at Zhao Wen who was sitting in the ship building and was writing documents, and shouted loudly.
Zhao Wen asked: "What kind of ship? Have you spotted us?"
"My lord, it's two merchant ships that just left the pier in Zeelandia City, heading southwest.
Judging by the way they were driving, they probably didn't notice us. " Zhao Daniu replied.
This treasure ship is far away from the city of Zeelandia, and the telescope used on the ship is a telescope from later generations, so Forman's ship can be spotted from a long distance.Therefore, Foreman and others did not discover these treasure ships.
Zhao Wen thought for a while, and then said: "As long as they don't find us, we don't care about the others, just let them go."
"Yes!"
Zhao Daniu yelled, and then rushed outside.
The sun gradually sank to the west, and when most of the sun fell to the sea level, a sea breeze suddenly blew up on the sea.
Song Hu and Mao Chengzuo led 1 people quietly walking on the undeveloped path of Taiwan Yuan Island.
Song Hu looked at the sun that was about to disappear, and said, "How long will it take us to reach Zeelandia?"
"We are now only an hour and a half away from Zeelandia City.
It is also because the road on this island is too difficult to walk, otherwise, it would not take that long. "Mao Chengzuo looked at the road covered with weeds and thorns, his face was full of helplessness.
"Hurry up and send a signal to the adults tomorrow morning. It will be a while if you can arrive early." Song Hu wiped off the sweat from his head, and then buried his head on his way.
The night gradually fell, and a dark cloud floated in the sky, covering the moon, and the whole sea was pitch black, and nothing could be seen clearly.
Standing on the ship tower, Zhao Wen looked at the extremely dark world. He looked at Zhao Daniu, and said, "Pass down the order and try to reduce the number of lights. Except for the necessary lights, the others can be one less."
"Subordinates take orders!"
……
The night became more and more intense, and the entire sea was extremely calm. The five treasure ships floated quietly on the sea, like five ferocious beasts.
Overnight, dawn dawned in the east.
Song Hu and the others arrived at a location ten miles away from Zeelandia City in the middle of the night last night.
After a short rest, Song Hu and Mao Chengzuo led the more than 1 soldiers and began to assemble.
Half an hour later, several beams of smoke appeared ten miles north of Zeelandia City.
The soldiers standing on the watchtower of the treasure ship Yangwei held up binoculars, looked at the thick wolf smoke, and hurriedly reported the news.
"Since the signal has appeared, let's launch an attack immediately."
With Zhao Wen's order, the five treasure ships moved, and the sound of horns resounded non-stop on the sea.
Five treasure ships that looked like ancient behemoths headed for the city of Zeelandia.
Song Hu and Mao Chengzuo also led the soldiers and began to go in the direction of Zeelandia City again.
Standing on the wall of the outer city of Zeelandia, Governor Putmans suddenly saw a few thick smoke rising from the north, and asked with a puzzled face, "Where is this smoke? Could it be that there was a fire somewhere?" Is it done?"
At this time, he didn't associate these wolves with war at all.
He thought that the appearance of these wolf smoke was because of a wildfire somewhere.
"Who knows? Just ignore him, the yellow-skinned monkeys on this island like to set fire to the wasteland the most during this period of time, what about him, as long as the fire doesn't come over, we don't care about them." Siviri looked at these words Wolf Smoke, said indifferently.
The treasure ship was getting closer and closer to the city of Zeelandia, and the sailing battleship docked outside the city of Zeelandia also found the trace of the treasure ship.
"Look what's that?" A sailor standing on the watchtower of the sailing warship looked at the direction where the treasure ship appeared and shouted loudly.
His voice made the remaining sailors on the ship look back.
"My God, is this a boat? Why is it so big?"
A sailor was lying on the side of the ship, watching the treasure ship slowly appearing behind him, his face was full of disbelief.
Zhao Wen stood on the front deck of the Yangwei. He held up his binoculars, looked at the five sailing battleships on the pier of Zeelandia City, and shouted loudly: "Rush up, after entering the range, the five treasure ships come across, In a straight line, let me bomb the Hongyi battleship in the port first."
Following Zhao Wen's order, the sailors on the treasure ship immediately got busy.
After receiving Zhao Wen's order, the other four treasure ships also started to get busy.
"No, they're here. Judging by their appearance, they seem to be attacking us."
When the five treasure ships began to line up, the sailors on these sailing warships finally realized the purpose of these treasure ships.
For a moment, the sailors on the five sailing battleships hurriedly sounded the alarm.
The left-behind sailors on the ship also hurriedly dispatched troops to spread the news to Zeelandia City.
In fact, it is not necessary for them to pass on the news. When the treasure ships appeared, Siviri, who was standing on the outer city wall of Zeelandia, had already discovered these treasure ships.
"My God, why are these ships so big? Where did this ship come from? Why did it suddenly appear here?" Siviri pointed to the treasure ship ahead, his face full of shock.
Panic flashed across Putmans' face. He looked at these treasure ships and shouted in surprise: "Could this be the treasure ship that Foreman mentioned? How can there be such a large ship in this world?
What is the use of building such a large ship?Are these ships warships?But can such a huge ship run? "
"No, they turned the ship sideways, and they are going to attack the warships in the port." Siviri looked at the overturned treasure ship, shouted, and then ran towards the inner city in panic.
There are too few sailors left behind on these five sailing battleships, and the captain and mate of the ships and other commanders are now in the city of Zeelandia.
A fleet without a commander is a mess and easily defeated.
Xi Wei hurriedly ran into the inner city, trying to gather the captain's mates in the city and the sailors who entered the city of Zeelandia.
However, how could Zhao Wen give him this chance?
When Siviri rushed out of Zeelandia City with the captain's mate and other commanders, the five treasure ships had already lined up completely.
Zhao Wen looked at the sailing warships in the port and shouted loudly: "Give me a full attack, remember, let the gunners avoid hitting, I will capture these five sailing battleships, but don't sink them."
Zhao Wen gave an order, and the treasure ship Yangwei took the lead in attacking.
The 107 rockets on the ship's side, the 120 mortars on the deck, and the 40 fires on the gun windows all headed towards the sailing warship in the port.
Although Zhao Wen asked the gunners to avoid point fire, a few shells inevitably landed on these ships.
Not long after the Yangwei treasure ship fired, the remaining four treasure ships also fired.
The shells on the five treasure ships headed towards the five sailing warships in the port like a gust of wind and rain.
Seeing the five treasure ships roaring non-stop, Siviri froze in place.
"What kind of weapon is this, what kind of weapon is this? Why is the firepower so fierce?"
Not only Siviri, but even the captain's mate and others behind Siviri looked at the firing treasure ship with horror on their faces.
"Whoosh!"
A 120mm mortar shell fell on the deck of a sailing warship, and the huge explosion directly blasted a big hole in the deck.
The fragments and sawdust produced during the explosion flew around the explosion centered on it.
