Chapter 2277

"It's the Ming army's firearm!"

If the Tibetans had a chance in the past, no one thought they could be spared today when they saw those black spots coming.

"Bang!"

The black spot zoomed in quickly and bumped up under everyone's eyes.

"Bang!"

The ship was shaking, and the smell of burning wood rose with the smoke.

Two iron bullets flew over the deck. After a crisp noise, they left two flesh and blood hutongs and roared past.

One arm flew in mid air and finally hit the commander's calf.

The commander knelt down on one knee. At the moment, the warship was shot in several places, and the smoke of gunpowder gradually filled up.

Through the smoke of gunpowder, he saw that the Ming army, which was getting closer and closer, began to turn again.

The sideboard is the source of their attack power. Turn again, which is to prepare to attack with the other side.

The commander opened his mouth and wanted to shout something, but the warship suddenly tilted and he couldn't help sliding down to the side.

Then he saw the Ming army opposite him laughing grimly.

Under the huge firepower advantage, Lin Zheng boldly narrowed the distance between the two sides to 200 steps away.

Under this distance, if it is land, the longbowmen are sure to make the Ming army on the deck hate.

But this is the sea. The best archery can only be used for coverage attacks.

The officer was still sliding. He gave up controlling his body and shouted, "shoot an arrow..."

On the three warships under attack, those standing longbowmen opened their bows and arrows one after another.

In order to better ensure accuracy, they even went to the side of the ship and relied on the side of the ship to maintain their body balance.

"Shoot an arrow!"

A small black cloud rose from the warship. The black cloud took off, and then went towards the Ming warship along a parabola.

"Archer!"

Lin Zheng saw that the other side could fight back, and the number of longbowmen and the range were beyond his expectation.

He shouted, and the people on the deck were desperately looking for protection.

The sergeants ready to jump have shields. They squat down and hide their bodies behind the shields.

And a very few people, such as Lin Zheng, are unlucky.

Lucky ones hide behind the ship's side and try their best to stick their bodies to the ship's side. This is a natural shield.

The arrows roared in and most of them plunged into the deck.

Lin Zheng hid behind the side of the ship and prayed that the gods and Buddhas in the sky would not have arrows coming this way.

The black cloud pierced down, there were many voices on the deck, and the scream sounded three times.

Lin Zheng saw an arrow coming towards him. He tried his best to avoid it, but it was in vain.

"Ho!"

The arrow penetrated Lin Zheng's armor, and then he felt a burst of hot in his chest and abdomen.

I'm dead!

"My Lord!"

Lin Zheng opened his eyes and saw the arrow feather in front of him. Looking at the direction, the arrow fell vertically.

"My Lord!"

The deputy general rushed over and looked sad.

Lin Zheng felt a burning pain in his chest and abdomen, but it was strange.

He held the shaft of the arrow, and the deputy general said sadly, "Sir, don't!"

Lin Zheng pulled hard and the arrow was pulled out.

The expected blood shooting didn't happen. Lin Zheng looked at the arrow and couldn't help laughing.

"I'm lucky! Kill them!"

"Boom, boom, boom!"

……

In Sumatra, when the fleet came into sight, sister Shi asked, "no one is going to report to uncle?"

"Yes, but uncle came."

Second sister Shi said anxiously, "I'm afraid Lord Lin's fleet... Losing the first battle will greatly hurt morale!"

She looked back at the natives brought back by Chen Mo and others, smiled and said, "those seeds have grown into trees. They said they would have that thing in two or three years."

When the boat brought Fang Xing to the dock, there was a kneeling on the dock.

This is the treatment of angels.

Wang he began to read the will. Fang woke up and stood by, but looked at the natives.

Those natives have disappeared. They are at a loss and ruddy. Some of them have small stomachs. Obviously, they live a very comfortable life.

After reading the will, Fang woke up and said, "how are those trees?"

The last time Zheng He came, he asked someone to see the rubber tree explained by Fang Xing. He only said that it had grown and become a tree.

Elder sister Shi said, "uncle, they have grown up. They say they can produce that thing in three or four years at most."

"Oh!"

Fang woke up and said happily, "look!"

He basically didn't see joy along the way. At the moment, he can't wait for some trees, which makes people curious.

So they got on their horses and went away.

Those natives could not ride horses, so they got on the ox cart and followed.

Hong Bao and Fu Xian are naturally full of complaints about Fang's decision not to reinforce Lin Zheng but to see the rubber tree.

When he reached a forest, Fang woke up and looked at the trees eagerly.

Like that?

"Good!"

Fang Xing actually saw the end from the beginning. When he came out again, the people outside had been waiting for a long time.

Those natives are laughing. They can speak Daming dialect now, and even smart people can write Daming characters.

They also have a wife and children. Second sister Shi makes a good living and treats them well, so life here is heaven for them.

"Someone!"

"Uncle!"

Fang Xing pointed to the natives and said, "give them wine, meat and cloth. They will be Daming people in the future!"

Then there were more than a dozen kneeling people on the ground. The natives who had struggled to survive in the tropical rain forest burst into tears, and someone was shouting long live your majesty.

Sister Shi is kind to them, but it's clear inside and outside.

Through the experience of living and working in Sumatra in recent years, these natives also know the strength of Daming and the kindness of Daming to their own people.

Yes, compared with the attitude of countries around the world towards their citizens, the official attitude of the Ming Dynasty can almost be called loving the people as a son.

A strong Daming, a Daming who is friendly to his own people.

Such a Daming, who doesn't want to be one of them?

So as soon as Fang woke up, these natives were excited and happy, which made the Daming people present proud.

As for wine and meat

When Fang woke up, sister Shi had already prepared supplies, so while transporting supplies, she called the cook to fix the wine and vegetables.

"... this batch is still small. Once it is spread out, it is mainly planted in countries in the South China Sea, and Java and other places are good."

Fang Xing took a bath and went to sea until now. He was more comfortable in the days of occupying the city. At other times, compared with ordinary soldiers, that is, the cabin was separate, so he didn't have to smell the foot odor that others hadn't cleaned for a long time.

The lobby is very spacious, and all the seats are regulated by Daming.

Fang Xing sat on the throne and talked with assurance, resolving these people's confusion about rubber trees.

"The tree is very important."

Fang Xing played with a seed that failed to germinate and said, "this tree can produce a kind of glue, which is very important for the future Daming. Its importance is not under the firearm. Can you understand?"

Fu Xian couldn't help asking, "Xinghe Bo, what's the use of this glue?"

Others are watching Fang Xing. They are also very curious, but they don't dare to ask.

Fang Xing said with a smile, "it's very useful. After a hundred years, I hope this glue can be seen everywhere in Daming. People need to use things made with it every day."

Hong Bao was surprised and said, "Xinghe Bo, why don't you take it back and plant it?"

Yeah!

Elder sister Shi said, "uncle, even if the lower official wants to make the court pay more attention to this side, it's better to plant such important things in the Central Plains!"

Fang Xing seemed to be in a daze. For a moment, he said, "why should Benbo value this side?"

Sister Shi replied, "guard the Strait and let Daming coast worry free."

Fang Xing spread out his palm, looked at the mottled seed in his palm and said, "and it..."
