1717 New American Empire

Ijik knew his old rival. He always felt that if there was still a possibility of redemption for him, then George would have given his soul to the devil. By engaging in the slave trade, he would at least ensure that obedient slaves would not starve to death.

And George, regardless of whether he was obedient or not, had to kill 10% of the people first to scare the slaves. In particular, Ijik clearly stated the price for them to become slaves, but George used all kinds of deceitful tricks to deceive them.

All used.

The reason why he was able to defeat George before was because, like many Portuguese nobles, George acquired wealth not to enhance his strength, but to enjoy himself. At that time, Ijik was not as well-fed and clothed as a small businessman, so he accumulated wealth.

He built this fleet and defeated George, who was greedy for pleasure and had not updated his warships or firearms for many years. That time, after defeating George, Ijik was exhausted. Only by digesting the results of the battle could he become Boston's leader.

Slave leader.

Thinking of the benefits gained after winning that battle, Ijik suddenly wanted to do it again. In order to obtain weapons and equipment from Yanhuang Trading Company, Ijik spent most of his savings. Originally, he planned to come directly to rob slaves this time.

, since it’s all about robbing. It’s better to rob someone else’s territory than to rob one’s old enemy. We already have a grudge anyway, so it doesn’t make any difference to offend them again. But to rob someone else’s territory is to offend someone new.

People.

The enemy only has three battleships, and they are all frigates protecting two transport ships. It is impossible for them to be the opponent of the six battleships on our side, one of which is a cruiser. Moreover, after figuring out the weapons Xiao Lin sold them

After the performance, he firmly believed that he would not suffer much losses against an enemy of this level. Having made up his mind, Ijik immediately put down his telescope and issued an order to his confidant Captain Mensah.

"Now that we have met him, it would be a waste of fate not to engage him. The order was given, and the transport ship slowed down and cruised at the lowest speed. All six warships went into battle, and all the artillery began to prepare for loading ammunition, and the use of 18-pound heavy guns was allowed.

.Surround us together and make sure not to shoot any ship. By the way, put down our flag and pretend to be a British warship."

"yes!"

After receiving the order, Mensah immediately returned to the stern rudder to prepare for command. While walking, he also used the walkie-talkie purchased from Yanhuang Trading Company to notify the captains of the other five frigates. As the order was issued, six warships came from

The calm turned into noise. Everywhere was the roar of orders and the sound of various sailors adjusting the state of the ship's guns. We were still three thousand meters away from the enemy warship, so we had no worries about being discovered by the enemy because of the movement.

Mensa also lowered his flag early because of Ijik's reminder. When the two fleets were close to a thousand meters apart, Ijik even asked some sailors to put on several sets of British flags that were given to him after they were captured by Xiaolin.

Military uniforms. Although they are army uniforms, not navy uniforms, they can still confuse some people. After all, it is not that there have been people who used navy ships to transport army soldiers. The only thing that is a little strange is how they are hanging far behind.

There are three large transport ships.

However, this is a British family matter. These can only be regarded as members of the Portuguese private fleet, and they cannot guess and do not want to care. Of course, seeing that the fleets of both sides are about to pass each other, just in case, the fleet's

The commander also ordered his men to be on alert. However, none of his men really thought that there would be an attack from both sides. The British have developed to the point where they are today, and they rarely do things like piracy. They just want to do it and rob it.

It should also be a fleet transporting gold and silver. They are just transporting slaves.

However, a frigate had just come into contact with the Slave Emperor, the cruiser that had entrusted Ijik's dream of becoming a slave emperor. All the sailors suddenly laughed fiercely, took out their torches, and lit the cannon matches. The Slave Emperor, the bow of the ship

Together with the stern, it was equipped with two eighteen-pound cannons, and each of the two times had four twelve-pound cannons and four nine-pound cannons. In the horrified eyes of the Portuguese, a total of ten cannons were fired one after another.

of solid artillery shells.

Ijik's idea is to kill one enemy ship first, and then besiege the other two enemy warships with the other three frigates. The remaining two frigates will chase the two transport ships. Ijik's strategy is very

Correct, it is also possible that George's men had not encountered any company during this period and had relaxed their vigilance. Ten solid cannonballs of different sizes were fired, and when the two ships were only a hundred meters apart, six of the ten were hit.

.

Don’t think it’s less, even with various radars and fire control systems in the 21st century, there is no guarantee of perfect accuracy at any distance. However, Ijik’s warships and artillery are from the 17th century and have fallen behind. The front-loaded artillery is not

Stability, compactness of a battleship

It's not enough to completely offset the fluctuations of the sea. This hit rate is not bad. The key is that the two shells fired by the 18-pounder gun hit the enemy ship. One shot opened a big hole in the bow of the enemy frigate, and the other shot

It hit the plywood and knocked several people away.

Together with the other four shells, the frigate was stopped directly. As soon as the Portuguese were attacked, they became lively. The commander who was lucky enough to survive roared miserably and asked his sailors to light the artillery match. However, it was already

It's too late. The remaining five escort ships

The ship opened fire immediately after the Slave Emperor, and one of them dealt a last-ditch attack on the Portuguese frigate that was crippled by the Slave Emperor at the beginning. The most powerful thing about the frigate was its two twelve-pound guns. It was originally impossible to achieve success with one hit, but who

Let the enemy warship take two heavy artillery shells first.

With this blow, the frigate that suffered the most damage began to take in water and became silent. None of the surviving Portuguese sailors on the ship jumped into the sea wailing from the side of the tilted ship, desperately trying to stay away from the about-to-be-silenced ship.

Our own warship. Everyone knows that when a ship is silent, a vortex will appear in place. The bigger the ship, the greater the pulling force of the vortex. If you don't stay away in time, people will be pulled directly in and drowned.

The battle has been proceeding according to Ijik's vision, and the first step has been completed. The second step begins immediately. The Slave Emperor faces a Portuguese warship alone, two frigates besiege the other one, and the remaining two break away from the battle circle and begin to move very quickly.

The frigate is a light and agile warship, and its speed is much faster than that of a large transport ship. If it really wants to turn around, it will be caught before it is completed.

The Portuguese were completely blindsided and had little power to fight back. The two frigates also wanted to close the distance to engage in a boarding battle, trying to see if they could overturn the situation. However, as soon as they got close, each ellipsoid grenade was fired by Ijik's men.

Throwed it over.

Even the grenades lit by match ropes used more powerful yellow gunpowder. A dozen of them were thrown at the same time, and the power was no worse than two solid bullets from the 18-pound cannon. The Portuguese who had just gathered together were directly blown up.

Personally, I fell on my back.

Ijik's men also picked up the Hall M1819 rifle and fired. After three rounds, the enemy's entire deck was cleared. The two transport ships did not run far before their masts were broken by two frigates.

We can only stop. The Portuguese do not intend to surrender directly, but also want to hide in the ship.

A sneak attack was carried out in the cabin. The Ijik sailors directly put on the revolvers and walked into the cabin back to back. All the enemies who appeared were defeated by one shot of the revolver and sold to Ijik, but the company's own 11.2 mm large-caliber revolver

, hitting any part of the body will be directly fatal.

By the time the Slave Emperor and three other frigates arrived, the battle was over. A captain was waiting for Ijik, because the "cargo" on this ship was a bit special and he was not sure. Ijik's people, check

After checking the cabin, I discovered that this was actually a piggy ship. As mentioned before, the piggy ship was a ship that transported yellow slaves, who were insultingly called "pigs" by white people.

The environment on the piggy ship was very poor, especially the piggy ship owned by George, a black slave trader. The environment was really not suitable for people to stay in. Ijik found the detailed list and found that more of the two ships were from North Korea.

People and Japanese people. Only a small number of people are Qing Dynasty people. In fact, they cannot be regarded as orthodox Qing Dynasty residents. In this era, the Qing Dynasty's millions of troops are still very intimidating. These Qing Dynasty people are all criminals.

How should I put it? Some of these people are Qing Dynasty people who committed crimes and were exiled. Most of them are ordinary civilians who fled to overseas islands because they could not bear the high pressure and high taxes of the Qing government, as well as the oppression of various cruel and corrupt officials. The Qing government’s attitude towards

There is no concept of ships,

The only ships that were available were snatched from the Ming Dynasty army. It can be said that since the demise of the Ming Dynasty, China's shipbuilding technology has gone from leading the world to being completely surpassed by white people. There has been no progress at all. This is also the reason why the Qing Dynasty rulers

One of the reasons why it has been criticized.

These criminals are not under the jurisdiction of the government, nor will they be protected by the government. They are weak and rely only on fishing and some farming. Not only do they have to be oppressed by pirates, but they also have to worry about being caught by these cruel slave traders.

These people have been living at sea all year round, and many of them have committed murder and swindling goods, and have also become subtle investments in these slaves. The Chinese people are very smart, and they are also good at forbearance. On the surface, they all pretend to be obedient.

It seems that they have already secretly formed a secret alliance and are preparing to unite everyone to resist.

It's just that neither the Koreans nor the Japanese in this era are representatives of integrity. In fact, their ethnic groups have not formed a strong country. Especially the Japanese, this era is still in the period of warlords. Well, what are they called shogunate and shogunate?

Name.
