Colonel Thiago thought that the three Ming galleons, if they had a chance to escape pursuit, would escape out of the Gulf of Mexico as soon as possible and run as far as they could.
But he was wrong, very wrong.
After using binoculars to confirm that he was no longer pursuing him, the three Ming Dynasty sailing ships stopped immediately.
At this time, the number of people on board was also calculated. There should be 1,086 people on the three boats, but 723 people actually arrived, and 363 people were not on board.
Ma Jishan quickly counted and found that there were nearly 200 people in the boat before they could board the boat, which meant that 1,670 people were still at the dock and in the city.
This is normal. In a hurry, the messenger cannot notify everyone.
Who knows where they went to fool around?
But it¡¯s okay, they are probably all prisoners of the Spaniards.
The atmosphere on the ship was extremely solemn. The crew members were hanging out in Havana during this time, and they often heard and witnessed scenes of the Spanish executing pirates.
They all heard that in order to prevent the pirates' accomplices from hijacking the prison, the Spaniards would choose to hang the captured pirates as soon as possible and hang them on the dock as a warning to others.
¡° Even the most indifferent person will feel very sad to think that so many companions who have shared weal and woe will be hung up like strings of salted fish.
This is really the biggest setback since this round-the-world voyage!
Even when the troops parted ways, they only lost 250 people, and those people were returning, not being captured.
During the rest of the time, due to advancements in navigation technology, medical conditions, hygiene habits, and science, there were no vicious epidemics, terrible scurvy, or even malnutrition in the voyage fleet.
The last one is mainly due to the canned food. Although the canned food they brought with them when setting off has long been exhausted, the crew will follow the training before going to sea and prepare the food at the shore.
All kinds of food purchasedwhether it is meat or vegetables and fruits, put them into canning bottles after cleaning, reseal the bottle mouth with cork, and heat it in a steamer to make a simple canned version, which can be kept fresh for three months. Not a problem.
In short, the total number of crew losses due to illness and accidents so far has only been fifty, creating a miracle in the history of human navigation.
Therefore, the heavy loss this time is unacceptable to everyone.
"What are you doing?!" Just as the men were secretly wiping away their tears, Lin Feng's gangster voice rang out.
Everyone looked up at their captain and saw her standing at the highest point of the poop tower in a heroic manner.
"Didn't I say that I would definitely go back and save them!" Lin Feng's whip hit the railing, like a letter from the men, making them cheer up again and said: "Do you think what I said is a fart?! "
"Kill back! Bombard Havana and force them to let them go!" The crew members screamed and responded, and the young men also became energetic and yelled, "Captain, Captain, I love you"
¡°Kill his whole family and fuck his sheep!¡± Even the researcher wearing glasses started to cheer.
"Fuck you mothers, I only love my master!" Lin Feng rolled her eyes at those young men, and then snorted: "Have your heads been pinched by Cuban women? Havana Bay is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are fortresses and forts. They have a large number of people, so aren¡¯t we going to throw ourselves into a trap when we go back?!¡±
"Boss, where do you want to go?" This is her original pirate crew.
"Hunda!" Lin Feng said in a deep voice: "That is the livestock center and the second sugar industry center of Cuba. Thousands of Spaniards live there!"
The Spanish colonized Cuba mainly for plantations and large-scale planting of sugar cane for sugar production. Although the purple sugar they produce is Daming's brown sugar and will not be purified into white sugar, it does not affect their huge profits.
"Let's destroy Onda and arrest all the Spaniards. If they kill one of us, we will kill ten!" She licked her lips and said cruelly and excitedly: "If Onda is not enough, go to Jamaica and Panama. , Guatemala, destroy their colonies one by one and see who can outlast whom!?"
¡°Okay, that¡¯s a good idea!¡± The crew members responded loudly, eagerly gearing up and eager to burn, kill, and loot!
"It doesn't matter if they can handle it well as a bunch of people, they will just follow the captain and be done with it anyway."
"But Commander, doesn't this make us pirates?" But the police officers couldn't help but objected: "We are coast guards and we have discipline."
"Yes, we are sailing around the world in a friendly way, so what's going on with burning, killing and looting?" There was also a nerd with a bad reading mind who said: "The Spanish people are innocent."
"You fart!" Lin Feng shouted angrily, joining the Coast Guard is a great thing, but this is it??In Onda Bay
"It would be better if this were the case!" Lin Feng nodded and agreed: "It doesn't matter if it's not, it's like a tribute ship from our dynasty. Anyone who loses it will lose his head!" As he spoke, he poked the map hard with his whip. Said: "If you don't do it, why will you do it to your mother?!"
??~~
That night, the sky was dark, the stars and moon were dim, and the wind was blowing hard on the sea. It was especially suitable for killing people and stealing goods!
At midnight, the fleet arrived outside Onda Bay.
The Wenzhou and Taizhou have covered their sails with black cloth and rode the wind straight into the harbor!
The Eternal Sinner Liu Daxia stayed outside the bay because its hull was too big and its movements were inflexible. After the fighting breaks out inside, attack the fort at the mouth of the bay to spread the firepower of the two frigates.
Visibility was extremely poor at this time, and it was around two o'clock in the middle of the night, which is when people are most sleepy. The defenders on the fortresses on both sides of the harbor were unaware of the two large sailing ships entering the harbor.
And Lin Feng chose this time to take action because she had long observed that this was the highest tide period on the northern coast of Cuba. In this way, even if the Spaniards set up obstacles at the mouth of the bay, they would be temporarily ineffective due to the rising water level.
The two warships entered the bay smoothly. The bay was still quiet, and everyone was fast asleep.
Soon, the crew found the two distinctive sailing ships anchored in the bay!
It wasn¡¯t until the Wenzhou was 20 meters away from the large sailboat on the inside that it was discovered by a sailor on night watch.
Seeing the black sail, the sailor suddenly lost all sleep, and screams broke the tranquility of the harbor.
¡°corsario!¡±
"Fire!" Zhang Nanhai shouted at the same time.
