This time, the battle wasn't about fighting on the road, but about capturing an island. How many times had the Royal Navy practiced capturing islands?

Artillery bombardment, rockets covering the beach, and then speedboat landing. With this set of procedures, there will basically be no casualties.

The enemies on the road had no way to withstand the firepower of the Ming fleet, and even escape was unlikely.

After one round of artillery fire, two more rounds of artillery fire were added, and finally the ground was washed away by rockets. Even if someone had built some relatively solid fortifications on the island, it would be useless.

There was a sudden silence, and no one spoke.

Because they really don't know how to continue the conversation.

At this time, Zheng Zhilong, who was standing next to him, suddenly coughed twice and said, "My Lords, I think we should not think so badly about this matter. If the negotiation is successful, then we don't have to talk about this, right?"

The few of them then sat down together, but still didn't speak, as they needed to ease the awkward atmosphere.

Shi Laifu, who was sitting next to him, smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I think what Zheng Zhilong said makes sense. Didn't we go to the negotiations because we were confident of success? So there's no need to say all this."

At this time, the atmosphere finally eased.

Fang Zhenghua said, "That's right. If we go there, it can increase their trust and make them surrender willingly. If they don't surrender, it won't be too late for us to attack them later."

Yu Zigao, standing aside, was helpless. He glanced at Zheng Zhilong and said, "Since Eunuch Fang insists, I won't say anything. But I must remind you of one thing: if anything happens to Eunuch Fang, you should know what will happen to you. Don't think you can escape from the vast sea. Let me tell you, there is no escape."

"Don't worry, Marshal. I will definitely live up to my mission." Zheng Zhilong agreed quickly.

"Alright, let's get ready. When we get to Hirado, we'll use courtesy first and then force." Yu Zigao added, "It's rare for us to gather on this ship, so let's all have dinner here today. I'll have someone prepare some good food."

"Then I'll have a meal with you here." Shi Laifu said with a smile.

This time the anger was relieved.

While they were eating and drinking here, Zhu Youxiao was far away in Hangzhou City.

Ever since he had the idea of ​​coming to Zhejiang, Zhu Youxiao naturally rushed here without stopping.

The first stop in Zhejiang is naturally Hangzhou.

There is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. After coming here this time, Zhu Youxiao started to have fun here.

Taking Concubine Yuan and Concubine Tian with them, Zhu Youxiao and his two companions toured all the scenic spots and historical sites in Hangzhou.

The group has been walking along the West Lake.

As for boating on the West Lake, Zhu Youxiao had never thought about it. After all, water was a very dangerous thing for the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, because it was easy for the emperor to fall into the water and die.

Despite the excellent security, Zhu Youxiao chose not to go into the water. While walking along the shore, Zhu Youxiao told Concubine Yuan and the others the story of White Snake.

Regardless of whether they had heard it before, the two concubines were very supportive.

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Youxiao said slowly: "The air here is really good. I'm a little tired from walking. Let's find a place to rest and eat something."

Wei Chao, who was standing nearby, quickly came over and said, "Your Majesty, there's a very famous restaurant called Louwailou not far away. Would you like to try it?"

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Wei Chao and said, "Did you arrange this?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wei Zhongxian didn't dare to neglect and said quickly, "When I learned that Your Majesty was coming here yesterday, I had already found a place to book Louwailou. I checked it inside and out, and the ingredients are all fine. Our people are there now."

"If we don't go out to eat, all the money will be wasted." Zhu Youxiao smiled and said casually: "Then let's go and try it. I just wonder how their fish is cooked?"

"I heard it's a specialty," Wei Chao said quickly. "There's a famous dish called Squirrel Mandarin Fish, and another called West Lake Vinegar Fish. Your Majesty, you can try them."

"Really? Then let's go and have a look." Zhu Youxiao nodded and turned to Concubine Yuan and Concubine Tian and said, "Wei Zhongxian has found a good restaurant. It is said that their cooking is excellent, especially the squirrel mandarin fish dish. Let's go and try it together."

If it's not that delicious, I'll beat Wei Chao up later."
