Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 799: The oriole takes action

However, the fleet was in disarray at this time, and Philip and Felut no longer had the confidence to reintegrate them... According to Philip's estimation, the Ming army returned so quickly that they probably did not fall into their trap at all. , or accidentally learned their whereabouts on the way.

For the current plan, it is better to pick up the confidants who stayed on the west coast first, and then set sail to find other hidden islands to settle down.

Or, simply return to Britain and try another plan...

Philip and Felt were on the same ship. With a few British ships still willing to follow them, they sailed along the coastline in embarrassment. They fled all the way to a temporary port on the west coast.

Sure enough, before landing, the two of them saw the torches on the shore were brightly lit, and it was still a lively scene. They must have never been exposed to the flames of war.

"Why are the two captains back now?" As soon as the ship landed, the honest-looking shopkeeper Fu came to greet him and looked at the sea with pretense of confusion: "Hey, where are the other ships, sir?"

Judging from his appearance, Philip and Felt really thought that he didn't know anything about it. The two of them would not tell these people about their miserable state. Felute said impatiently: "Don't ask too much! Go and prepare some food for us."

"Let's take a rest first. We will have instructions for you tomorrow."

It was getting late at this time, and there was no way to see anything on the sea. It was impossible to sail at all. It was better to spend the night first and set off early tomorrow morning.

As for the question of whether Mingren will come after him... there are many rocks on the sea near Dawan. If you can't see your fingers and can barely sail at night, it is very easy to hit the rocks and sink. Moreover, Dawan Island is a wild island. There is no lighthouse to point out the direction, and it is naturally difficult to pursue it at night.

Looking at the swaying bonfire, Felute couldn't help but think of the burning fire on the sea today, and the terrifying figure of the treasure ship standing in the fire... He couldn't help shivering, and said with lingering fear: "God, the East Humans are so terrible that they can build such a terrible treasure ship..."

On the other hand, they... their country is thousands of miles away, and they will have nowhere to supply them if they are defeated. How can they compete with the Ming Dynasty?

Moreover, Japanese pirates were caused by the maritime ban policy of the Ming Dynasty at that time, which damaged the trade between China and the Japanese countries. Therefore, many Japanese famous names ended up becoming Japanese pirates themselves. It can be said that the famous names of the Japanese country are the foundation of the Japanese pirates.

"Their fleet is so terrifying. As long as the Ming Dynasty sends a few more treasure ships, we will not be able to form a climate on this sea at all... How did those Japanese pirates make the Ming Dynasty surrender to seclusion?"

There are temporary barracks on the shore that they had previously forced the natives to build. After getting into the barracks and having a warm bonfire, the two European nobles who had come from afar felt more at ease.

Phillip was also speechless. It was obvious that the Japanese pirates were plundering the sea areas before, and the Ming Navy was completely unable to control them... Why is the Ming Navy so powerful now?

They didn't know how much energy a huge country could unleash if it wanted to conquer the sea... They were just Japanese pirates, but the Ming Dynasty had never taken them seriously before, so they could only bring disaster to one side.

"Philip, will your strategy really work? Will such a terrifying Eastern dragon really compromise because of our actions?"

Philip was also quite frustrated because he misjudged Ming's maritime power. However, the matter has come to this, and they still have to find a way to turn things around: "If it doesn't work, we will return to Britain and find a new route that bypasses the Ming Dynasty and reaches Fengmingzhou..."

"New route?" Felt was stunned, thinking of the absurd statement that "the world is a sphere" that Philip had mentioned slightly before. "Do you... want to organize a fleet to go west from Britain? Do you really believe that the world is round?"

"Dear Ferut, now I would rather believe this ridiculous statement." Philip said. "It angered the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, and Ming Dynasty has such a terrifying warship... Do you think there are other ways for us to cross Ming Dynasty and reach Fengmingzhou, a new continent full of gold?" "If this statement is true, , then as long as we sail westward from Britain, we will reach the other side of Fengming Continent...not only will we not be hunted by the Ming court, but we will also be able to avoid the Ming Dynasty's sphere of influence on Fengming Continent."

"It's a risk and I think it's worth taking."

Businessmen, pirates, speculators, adventurers, these names are all suitable for these people. Now that one method has reached an impasse, Philip quickly planned another method.

The two discussed for a long time, and Felt also decided to support Philip's action. After making the next decision, the two of them finally pulled their thoughts back from the failure just now. Felute suddenly thought of something and felt a little strange: "Huh? Why are all the people staying in this camp the hired Ming and the captives? Where are the compatriots we left behind?"

"Those lazy guys...could they have held a banquet with our wine after we left, and they all passed away drunk..." Phillip said. Philip knew all about the sailors hired from his own country.

"There shouldn't be any of them..." Felute said bitterly. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of several of the crew members he had just brought back from the camp, falling to the ground without warning.

"Eh? Are they drunk too?" Felute's eyes widened. He blinked and felt something was wrong. They clearly didn't drink. They just asked Han and Akito to bring food, but they didn't order the wine...

Just after thinking this, Phillip, who had been talking just now, suddenly fell on his shoulder and even shouted.

"Huh?" Felt exclaimed, but in just a moment, his eyelids became heavy, and he fell to the ground.

While struggling for consciousness, he saw the Ming fisherman surnamed Fu walking straight towards him. Felut just thought he noticed something strange, and used his last willpower to stretch out his hand: "Quick...save... I……"

"The food is...poisonous..."

"Oh? You red-haired Rakshasa is quite smart... You finally realized that the men added some spices to your meals?" Shopkeeper Fu smiled shrewdly, squatted in front of Phillip and Feilut, and patted Fei teasingly. Root's face.

"...Yes, it's you..." Phillip finally understood.

"If it wasn't your grandfather or me, who else could it be?" Shopkeeper Fu said with a smile. "You Western Yi bastards dare to instigate civil strife in China...Grandpa, I have long disliked you."

"If you weren't still useful, would you guys be willing to be called around like this?"

Felute's eyes were about to burst, but the medicine had begun to take effect. Even though he was extremely angry, his eyelids were still fighting.

Finally, he closed his eyes and began to fall asleep.
