Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On August 9, the fourth year of Wanli, on July 15, 1576 AD, after half a month of sailing, Lin Feng led the fleet to anchor 80 kilometers offshore Acapulco.

    As soon as the ship stopped, the hot air balloon immediately took off. The members of the Beidou team quickly completed the survey and mapping of the bay terrain, and clearly marked the location of the forts guarding the harbor, the range of gunfire coverage, the docking locations of the galley fleet, the docking locations of the cargo ships, and the shipyards.  , the precise location of warehouses and barracks

    In the evening, Lin Feng summoned his main men and assigned combat tasks based on the investigation results.

    At the same time, all crew members also consciously completed pre-war preparations and took the time to recharge their batteries and wait for night operations.

    The business is so proficient that it makes people wonder, is this a fleet that sails around the world, or is it a pirate who specializes in robbery?

    ????????????????? Well, it seems like it¡¯s all the same thing in this day and age.

    At three o'clock, six Ming warships with blackened sails rushed into the port of Acapulco, taking advantage of the prevailing southeasterly wind on the west coast of Central America, relying on compasses and freshly released charts.

    At this time, the sky was dark, the wind was high, and the waves were rough. The Spaniards in the harbor did not expect that anyone would dare to make a sneak attack at this time and in this sea condition.

    But for the Ming Dynasty sailors who had experienced the strong winds and waves in the Cape of Good Hope and Linfeng Strait, this kind of wind and waves was simply child's play. They drove the warship without being affected at all, rushed straight to the dock where the galley warship was docked, and threw  Lighted whale oil spears.

    The Oda rockets were all used up when they were in Lima. These spears were prepared by the crew on Devil's Island. They simply sharpened the branches and then wrapped a thick layer of whale oil on the back of the spear tip.  Wrap it in a rag to prevent the grease from being shaken off when throwing.  A simple whale oil spear was made.

    Although it is crudely made and cannot be thrown dozens of meters away, it uses whale oil, the best fuel of this era!  In terms of combustion effect, it is not comparable to the Oda City rocket.

    The spear pierced the sail and immediately ignited the sail ropes, which could not be extinguished even if water was poured on them.  Soon, the masts of the galleys became torches, leaving the Spanish soldiers and slave rowers who had heard the alarm helpless.

    The Spaniards hunted whales in South America for more than half a year and finally saved a ship, ready to transport them back to Europe to light up palaces, churches and castles of nobles. However, Lin Feng robbed them and made them into torches to throw at their warships.  In a sense, it can be regarded as revenge for the whale.

    After taking care of the only threatening warship at sea, they opened fire on the shore and massacred the Spanish sailors and sailors who wanted to board the ship.  After the fleet was replenished in Brazil, there was no serious fighting, and the ammunition was still sufficient.

    "It's a pity that some unique weapons, such as the Oda City Rockets, are gone after being used, and there is no place to buy new ones.

    ??~~

    Everything was already familiar, and soon the situation at the port was under control just like the time in Lima.

    Then the crew began to set fire to more than 200 large and small sailboats moored on the pier.

    Soon, the flames soaring into the sky engulfed the entire dock.  The dark sea water reflected by the fire was as brilliant as the sunset, and it also looked like an impressionist oil painting with thick ink and colors. It was so beautiful!

    Lin Feng personally led the marines to land and set fire to the Spanish dry dock, turning all the large sailing ships under construction inside into blazing firewood racks.

    There are also lumberyards, warehouses and various workshops located at the dock. Everything that can be lit is lit

    Now the fire burned even more intensely, and the entire dock turned into a blazing fire, which frightened the Spanish troops sent by His Majesty the Vice-President for reinforcements and did not dare to approach.

    At the same time, many craftsmen living on the dock could not escape.  They were first forced back by the fire, and then were driven to the trestle by the Marines with bayonets

    The firelight soaring into the sky reflected the panic on their faces, which was extremely real.

    Afterwards, many locals said that they saw the female pirate moving freely through the fire that night. The flames illuminated her beautiful face, making her look extraordinarily coquettish, and also reflected her braids in red.

    As a result, rumors spread later. In the legend of the American people, Lin Feng became a red-haired female pirate who specialized in attacking Spanish sailing ships and bases.  It also became a spiritual icon that encouraged Indians to resist Spanish tyranny

    ??~~

    In the official residence on the mountainside, Vice King Velasquez stared in despair at the scene in front of him that was half sea water and half flames.

    "It's over, it's all over" He didn't get furious like Vice King Jose, because he was so distressed that he didn't even have the strength to explode.

    ¡°I spent a year and a half, working hard across North and South America, and the wealth I had worked so hard to accumulate was burned to the ground.  Want to save moreSpanish.

    Zhang Xiaojing then told them that she was their master now, and asked them to pair up in pairs with a thousand Spanish craftsmen who had been captured before, forming a thousand pairs of black and white.

    Then she announced to the black slaves that from now on, their identities would be interchanged with those of the white people.  They were the guards and the white people were the prisoners.  Their task is to keep an eye on their significant other, to eat, sleep and work with him, even to defecate and pee with him.

    The purpose is to prevent them from rebelling, escaping or secretly causing mischief.  Yes, the same things the white guards were wary of!

    As long as his significant other can reach their destination smoothly, he will let them go free!

    ¡°If his significant other commits suicide, rebels, escapes, or acts mischievously, and they fail to discover or stop him in time, he will also be executed together!

    The black slaves were naturally very happy.  For no other reason than to bully the white devil, they will also shout long live the new master!

    Those Spanish craftsmen who had been unruly after being captured originally wanted to find a chance to escape, but now they were all dumbfounded.

    What kind of treatment is this?  He actually provides one-to-one personal service. Where can he go?  I don¡¯t even dare to complain!

    Who taught the black slaves to speak Spanish?  Damn it!
