Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the hot Red Sea, the rolling heat waves form bursts of scorching hot wind. The red sea water is like stagnant water, with few fluctuations.

    A large ship sailed in the Red Sea, heading to Egypt from south to north. It was hoisted with the dragon flag of the Ming Dynasty and the flag of an unknown company.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know if these Red Sea pirates will come~¡±

    Yang Zhen wiped the sweat from his forehead. It was really too hot here, which made him uncomfortable as he was born in Shaanxi. He still preferred the cooler climate.

    The army occupied Djibouti and built a military base here in Djibouti. The navy could not be idle and began to eliminate pirates in the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, and Bab el-Mandeb Strait.

    Pirates are almost extinct in the areas controlled by the Ming Dynasty. Under the attack of the powerful Ming Navy, the pirates have no place to escape.

    But outside of the Ming Dynasty, there are a lot of pirates. Like here in the Indian Ocean, there are a lot of Arab pirates, Persian pirates, and Tianzhu pirates.

    There are so many pirates in Europe and the Mediterranean. Some countries even openly support pirates. Many pirates have privateering licenses issued by the state.

    The geographical location of the Red Sea is very special, because through the Red Sea, and then through Egypt, you can reach the Mediterranean and Europe at the fastest speed and in the shortest journey.

    With the expansion and development of the Ming Dynasty around the world, many merchants traveled to Europe through the Red Sea. A large number of ships passed through the Red Sea, which also breeds banditry here.

    There are a large number of pirates entrenched in the Red Sea, looting and extorting passing Ming merchant ships.

    This time, the warship led by Yang Zhen also disguised itself as a merchant ship and walked in the Red Sea. When it stopped at ports along the way, it also pretended to be very generous, allowing people to see the cargo on the ship, in order to attract the attention of pirates.  force.

    "It will definitely come. There is no reason for them to leave such a fat sheep uneaten."

    Deng Cheng, the commander-in-chief of the Red Sea Fleet, said Yang Zhen¡¯s identity very confidently.

    Deng Cheng is the commander-in-chief of the Red Sea Fleet, which is under the jurisdiction of the Red Navy. He is considered a subordinate of Mao Lun and Yang Zhen. Well, the main reason is that the Red Sea Fleet is very small, with only twenty warships and three thousand people.

    This scale is nothing in the huge Ming Dynasty navy. The Ming Dynasty navy has now been divided into the East China Sea Fleet, which is mainly responsible for maritime security in the East China Sea, Yellow Sea, North Korea, and the Japanese country.

    The Nanyang Fleet is responsible for maritime security in Southeast Asia and Australia. There is also an Atlantic Fleet, stationed in Penglai City, responsible for the east and west coasts of Golden Continent and the Atlantic area.

    The Bohai Fleet is responsible for the Bohai Sea area, and its most important responsibility is to maintain the security of the Beijing-Tianjin area.

    There is also the West Sea Fleet. The West Sea Fleet mainly includes the Black Sea Fleet, the Mediterranean Fleet and the Red Sea Fleet newly established here in Djibouti, each responsible for an area.

    There are a total of four fleets, each of which is very large in size. It has multiple naval military bases under its command and multiple squadrons stationed in various places.

    The Red Sea Fleet is under the command of the West Sea Fleet, but it is also under the jurisdiction and command of the Red Sea Fleet. The power to appoint officials of the Red Sea Fleet lies with the West Sea Fleet, and the power to command operations lies with the Red Navy. This is mainly to facilitate deployment and maintain the Ming Dynasty in this area.  Interests.

    When the Egyptian Canal is opened and it becomes easier for the Red Sea Fleet to travel between the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, operational command will be returned to the West Sea Fleet again.

    "I hope so, otherwise all this sweat will be in vain."

    Yang Zhen smiled and said.

    To be honest, coming to the Red Sea is not as comfortable as going to other places. The weather here is hot, far away from the Ming Dynasty, and the facilities in the military base have not been built yet, so life is definitely not that comfortable.

    But the Red Sea is very suitable for making achievements. There are also a lot of hostile forces here, such as pirates, bandits, etc. As long as you are lucky, you can get some credit casually.

    When the time comes, you can move back to the Ming Dynasty and go up immediately. This is not available in other places.

    Today, Daming, singing and dancing is rising, and no one dares to mess with the world. Even in Nanyun Province, the powerful Ottoman Empire did not dare to provoke Daming, and there was no war to fight.

    And the current military system of the Ming Dynasty attaches great importance to military merit. If there is no war, where will the military merit come from?

    Yang Zhen applied to come here because he wanted to make great achievements here. If he had military industry, he could be promoted. After staying here for a few years, he could be knighted and become a new nobleman.

    ¡°Dang~dang~¡±

    At this moment, the ship¡¯s mastThe thief prepared a hook, and when the ship was very close, he used the hook to hook the Ming Dynasty's ship, and then quickly landed on the opponent's ship through the rope.

    Some pirates came to the mast with a big axe, preparing to cut off the mast and smash it onto the opponent's ship through the mast. The pirates on the ship could quickly land on the opponent's ship by stepping on the mast, and the mast could be connected at the same time.  The two ships made it impossible for the other party to escape quickly.

    These are the most commonly used methods by pirates, and they are also the most important method of naval warfare in this era - continuous battle.

    Yang Zhen and Deng Cheng watched the pirate ships getting closer and closer without any panic, silently calculating the distance between them.

    "Closer!"

    Yang Zhen looked at the pirates who were getting clearer and clearer, and could already clearly see the appearance of these pirates. Most of these pirates were from the areas on both sides of the Red Sea. There were Arabs, Kunlun slaves, some Tianzhu people, Persians, etc.  A mixture of them, most of them looked very fierce.

    In the cabin, the navy soldiers were waiting, and the cannons were ready.

    "Take out the gun!"

    Soon, with an order, the cannon holes were opened, and the Miyun cannons were pushed out, revealing their ferocious faces!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
