Zhao Hao's Western Fleet arrived at Takao Port three days ago.

Compared to the East Fleet, which was killing like crazy, the West Fleet was much quieter along the way. They only wiped out a group of pirates and went ashore to attend a party. This was certainly what Mr. Zhao wanted. But for the Coast Guard officers and soldiers who were eager to establish merits and win points and bonuses, it was too damn uncomfortable.

When the reconnaissance ship reported back the information that there were indeed a large number of Han people active in Takao Port, the coast guard officers and soldiers were ready to fight, vowing to give Takao a good fight and get their money's worth in one go!

However, when the fleet passed the narrow Shoushan Mountain and slowly approached Dagou Port, it unexpectedly discovered that a conspicuous white flag was flying on the artillery platform at the mouth of the bay.

"Are you still going to fire?" The gunners had already loaded their guns and were just waiting for the order to open fire. Seeing this, they couldn't help but think that this was not good and looked towards the Zhenwo.

As expected, the flagship issued the order of "Stand by Alert"...

"Fuck!" The officers and soldiers all greeted the ancestors of the person who gave the order. Well, this order seemed to be issued directly by their beloved Master Zhao...

"Fuck!" Captain Xiang Xuehai of the Zhenwo put down his telescope and greeted incomprehensibly, but he was greeting the people in Takao Port.

From the densely packed bamboo fortresses and houses and the vast irrigated and rain-fed farmlands in and around Takao Port, it can be seen that there are at least 50,000 people living here.

Considering that the majority of the people here are young and strong, they can at least send out an army of 5,000 people, which can be called the Nanbo Bay of Taiwan. How can they surrender at the sight of the enemy? That's too spineless!

"Perhaps, their flag is a white flag? Used to confuse the enemy?" Deputy Captain Mei Ling went even further. In order to win a battle, he did not hesitate to talk nonsense.

"Is it a white flag?" Xiang Xuehai rolled his eyes at him. Who would use a white flag as a banner? Not to mention that it would be discouraging, what if they really wanted to surrender? What kind of banner would they use?

In fact, the main reason is that the military merits I had obtained were lost again, which was very sad...

On the poop deck, Zhao Hao was also surprised and said to Jin Ke, "Why do I feel like they knew we were coming?"

"Maybe the other party has some source of information." Jin Ke guessed.

"No more guessing. Let's shoot him a few times and see how he reacts." Young Master Zhao is becoming more and more arrogant now.

Unfortunately, before the order was passed on, a small boat was seen sailing out from the bay mouth, also flying a large white flag with five large crooked characters written on it.

"Welcome Mr. Zhao..." The officers and soldiers of each ship read out those five words at the same time.

Damn it, there is no hope now.

"Send someone to check out what's going on." Zhao Hao smiled and waved his hand. It seems that the leader here is an interesting person.

He liked interesting people the most, except those who always forced him to write poetry.

A speedboat immediately came forward and stopped the small boat.

After a while, the guard came back and reported that the visitor was the leader of this place, named Lin Feng. He said that he had admired the young master's name for a long time and was willing to submit to him.

"Oh, Lin Feng?" Zhao Hao became even more interested.

This time he went south, he had intended to meet this famous pirate, who was even more powerful than Lin Daoqian and was more famous in later generations.

It is said that at its peak, it had more than 300 ships and more than 40,000 followers, which was larger than Lin Daoqian. However, Lin Feng's fame was not based on domestic plunder, but on foreign wars.

In the second year of the Wanli reign in another time and space, under the joint pressure of the government troops and the Portuguese, Lin Feng led all his forces in Taiwan to march south and launched a year-long battle for Luzon with the Spaniards.

He took advantage of the fact that the Spaniards had come from afar, had limited military strength, and attacked everywhere to seize the opportunity of colonizing the colonies. He adopted flexible and maneuverable tactics to defeat the Spaniards one by one, and defeated the Spaniards repeatedly.

Moreover, Lin Feng did not harm anyone in Luzon, which won the support of the local natives and reignited their anger against Spain. Various places responded and attacked the Spanish army, churches and settlements. Luzon was in flames. Spain could only huddle in the castle in Manila and wait for rescue. It even gave up Manila and prepared to retreat to Cebu.

But at the critical moment, the Guangdong Navy sent a fleet south to pursue Lin Feng, and hit it off with the Spaniards, deciding to join forces to deal with this tough opponent. Even Portugal sent a large sailing ship to support, but in the end, under the joint stranglehold of the three empires, Lin Feng retreated to Daimao Port.

After four months of siege, Lin Feng's troops ran out of food. Finally, after receiving official amnesty for his subordinates and the guarantee that they would be allowed to disband and return to their hometowns, Lin Feng ordered them to surrender and fled alone. He has been missing since then...

This mysterious sea lord’s written record in history ends here. But he has become a mythical existence. In the Chinese world of Southeast Asian countries, various legends about him are circulated, and they still persist hundreds of years later...

Later, Liang Qichao heard his legend from overseas and included Lin Feng in the "Biographies of Eight Great Chinese Colonialists". Mr. Zhao was willing to call him a national hero, the Captain Drake of the Ming Dynasty.

Speaking of which, Captain Drake was also a man of this era. The two of them could be said to be the strongest pirates of the East and the West at that time.

But sadly, the fates of the two were very different. Captain Drake had the full support of the British. When he returned from his voyage around the world with a load of treasures looted from the Spanish, Queen Elizabeth personally boarded his ship and awarded him the title of Royal Knight. She also appointed him as the mayor of Plymouth and vice admiral of the navy, making him a national hero.

However, our Lin Feng is regarded by his own country as a greater threat than the Spanish and Portuguese, and he must be eliminated as soon as possible...

As a result, Captain Drake, with the support of his country, eventually led the weak British army to defeat the Spanish Invincible Armada and became a great man who sounded the death knell of Spain's maritime hegemony.

Lin Fengze was strangled by his motherland and the great powers and eventually lost this lonely war.

Lin Feng's failure was not his personal failure, but the failure of China as a whole. With his defeat in Daimao Port, the Ming Dynasty merchants who once dominated the South Seas were completely marginalized. The European powers took advantage of the situation to spread their influence, firmly occupying the entire Southeast Asia, and abruptly erased the long-standing and deep-rooted ties between the South Sea countries and the suzerain country.

Lin Feng's base in Taiwan was also deeply affected... When he went on the expedition to Luzon, he took away all his assets in Taiwan, leaving this place as a vacuum zone, and the Dutch took advantage of it...

~~

When Zhao Hao thought of Lin Feng, he was filled with emotion. Perhaps the contrast between Lin Feng and Captain Drake was too obvious, which made Master Zhao feel sorry for this Ming pirate. He also showed a little more respect for him, and said in a deep voice: "Please come in quickly... No, I'll welcome him."

As he said this, he walked down the stern deck under the surprised gaze of Secretary Ma and others. There are not many people that can make the young master lower his rank to welcome him. Even the great king of Ryukyu didn't get it... Of course, with the young master's conduct, it is estimated that he will definitely welcome him with joy when they meet again.

Lin Feng didn't expect that Zhao Hao would come to greet her in person.

After she separated from Mei Nan, she took a lot of effort to contact her ship. In order to avoid Zhao Hao's fleet, she hurried south along the east coast, bypassed the southernmost tip of Taiwan Island and then headed north. After rushing, she finally got back to Takao ahead of Zhao Hao.

As soon as he came back, Lin Feng quickly called a meeting of all the leaders, informed them of the imminent attack by the powerful Coast Guard fleet, and bluntly stated that they had no chance of winning with their own strength.

What to do if you can't beat them? Just join them. So she announced her decision on the spot - to join Jiangnan Group!

The subordinates actually had a lot of opinions about this, especially several of Lin Daoquan's old brothers, who all said they would go to Xiawei to ask for instructions first.

Lin Feng was very clear-headed and knew that when it came to joining a gang, attitude was the most important thing and he should not procrastinate or drag his feet.

If Big Brother hasn't replied yet and the Coast Guard fleet opens fire first, it will be troublesome - once the two sides go to war, it will be difficult for them to have no grudges and be as close as a family in the future. In that case, it will be difficult to achieve my goal...

She was also a ruthless person. She decisively ordered the arrest of those who opposed her. Then she rejected all objections and decisively raised the white flag...

After just one day of waiting, the men who were watching the wind on Shoushan Mountain sent a message that a fleet was approaching. Lin Feng quickly got himself ready and went out in a small boat to meet them.

Just when she was worrying about how to meet Zhao Hao, Zhao Hao appeared on the deck.

When Lin Feng saw the surprised look in Mr. Zhao's eyes, he knew that he had made the right bet...

~~

Looking at the boat, the leader was actually a woman wearing a light blue fish-scale pleated skirt, a light blue satin cape embroidered with the Eight Immortals, a hairpin and a little makeup. Zhao Hao couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise:

"Lin Feng is a woman?"

He really couldn't connect this extremely beautiful and heroic young woman with his idol Lin Feng.

It felt weird like... Bu Gu suddenly pulled out his beard and turned into a woman.

Secretary Ma behind him frowned slightly and adjusted his small gold-rimmed glasses, feeling that things were not that simple.

"This woman looks so familiar..."

"But it's not surprising. Her name is Lin Feng, not Lin Long." Zhao Hao immediately consoled himself, "No one has ever said she is a man."

As he spoke, the smile on his face became more amiable, "It's inconvenient for Miss Lin to get on board, so let's meet later..."

Hearing this, Lin Feng bowed slightly to express her gratitude. It was really inconvenient for her to climb up and down in this outfit, and it was too ugly.

He turned the ship around and guided the fleet slowly into Takao Harbor.

Beside Lin Feng, the black girl with big eyes was still angrily saying, "Young Master, why are you wearing women's clothes?"

Second in command Ma Zhishan and others also looked at her in confusion. In their memory, Lin Feng had never worn women's clothes since the day she went to the sea. After a long time, everyone forgot that she was a woman and always treated her as a man. Now that she suddenly changed back, she was really a little uncomfortable.

'But it's really beautiful...' the men thought.

"Do you think I am willing to do this?" Lin Feng adjusted the Yingluo headdress that was in the way and said rudely, "Isn't it all because of you troublesome people?"

In order to get on Zhao Hao's ship, she had persuaded the prince to use the beauty trap. Unexpectedly, it worked like a charm.

Since Mr. Zhao likes this, why not follow the prescription?

ps. I took my son to watch King Kong vs. Tesla today. Damn, the soundtrack was so loud that it gave me a headache. I felt terrible after coming back. I slept all afternoon and just finished writing one chapter. I will continue writing and will not post it too early... Everyone still has to go to work, so you can read it tomorrow morning.
