Rushing out of the white smoke, the tail cannon on the passenger ship also began to fire back sporadically, but the accuracy was pitiful, the members of the escort team had nothing to say about the ability of the firearms, in less than half an hour, the escort team destroyed and killed more than a hundred pirates like a precision machine, which is enough to explain the problem, and one of the pirates' pirate ship was also successfully received by the escort.

But the artillery battle is the short board of the escort team, the occasional shelling sound on the passenger ship is only slightly better than nothing, Chen Xuan clearly saw that the shells fired on the passenger ship fell far away from the pirate ship, there was almost no threat to the pirate ship, and the two pirate ships in the distance also found the poor artillery skills of the escort team after a period of panic, so they began to fire back after a short preparation, and slowly chased over.

What surprised and delighted Chen Xuan was that the pirate ship controlled by the escort team also moved, and it was also firing back, and the accuracy, speed and intensity of the shelling were completely beyond the reach of the members of the escort team, which also posed a great threat to the two pirate ships in the distance, making the two pirate ships dare not chase too close, thus giving Chen Xuan time to escape.

With the passage of time, although there was the controlled pirate ship to counterattack and attract firepower, the passenger ship was also not lightly damaged, and the speed gradually slowed down, the sailors on the ship have been rushing to repair the machine damaged by the pirate shells, and the pirates also chased after them with shouts, if nothing else, I am afraid that Chen Xuan and his escort team will be reimbursed on this boundless sea.

Chen Xuan began to regret it a little, if he hadn't selfishly wanted to come out to relax, such a thing would not have happened, the most important thing was that Xu Ruohan and Xia Yunru should not be brought with them, if they were caught up by pirates, the consequences would not be something that Chen Xuan could bear.

Although Xu Ruohan was flustered, she was also sensitive to Chen Xuan's emotions, and grabbed Chen Xuan's hand tightly and said:

"Husband, being with you is the happiest thing in my life, no matter what happens, I will not regret it, you live, I live, you die, I die! I will never do anything that insults our Chen family! ”

Chen Xuan held Xu Ruohan's hand tightly, Xu Ruohan miraculously calmed down, with a look of perseverance on her beautiful face, but a trace of regret flashed on Xia Yunru's face, Chen Xuan stretched out his right hand and grabbed Xia Yunru's cold hand.

"Good! If we want to live, we will live together, and if we want to die, we can also have a companion on the Huangquan Road! ”

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, as if they had let go of the burden of a thousand catties, and they were indifferent in an instant.

"Instructor! There are ships, they are our ships, you see, they are flying our Zhenhua's phoenix flag! ”

At this time, You Ling rushed in, holding a telescope and said loudly to Chen Xuan, the joy of escaping death was beyond words, Xia Yunru's face turned red, and she quickly withdrew her hand from Chen Xuan's hand.

Chen Xuan was also overjoyed, he was already preparing to go to Huangquan together, he never thought that there would be such a change, he snatched the telescope in You Ling's hand and looked into the distance, and sure enough, there were two large, three small and five ships were rushing to this side, and the phoenix flag on the mast was waving in the wind.

Knowing that there were reinforcements, the morale of the convoy was greatly boosted, and even the sailors repaired the machines faster, and the controlled pirate ships seemed to have spotted the ships that came to help, and erupted in tsunami-like cheers, and the speed of the shelling became faster and faster.

The pirate ship chasing behind also discovered the arrival of the five ships, and Chen Xuan faintly heard some quarrels, and the speed of firing the cannon seemed to slow down.

"Instructor! The pirate ship has escaped! ”

Chen Xuan looked at You Ling's hand, and sure enough, after some consideration, the two pirate ships decided to escape, and the pirate ships began to change direction and sail into the distance.

"Instructor! Do you want to launch a pursuit? ”

"Look, do we still have the ability to launch a pursuit?"

Chen Xuan pointed to the passenger ship that was beaten to tatters, the pirate ship that was snatched was not much better, several large holes were blown out by shells on the deck, some damage pipes were being extinguished with sand and gravel, and the speed was greatly slowed down, it was obvious that it had entered the water, You Ling shook his head a little unwillingly.

The small fleet of the five ships that chased each other split up and headed for Chen Xuan's ship, while the other four were chasing towards the pirate ship.

"Brother Xuan, Brother Xuan, are you there, I'm a brute!"

Sun Zhiheng didn't wait for the two boats to approach, and jumped onto the battered boat that Chen Xuan was riding, anxiously looking for Chen Xuan's figure everywhere.

"Am I here, Brute, am I here?"

Hearing Sun Zhiheng's anxious voice, Chen Xuan pushed away Xu Ruohan and Xia Yunru, who were helping him bandage his wounds, stood up and shouted.

In the pursuit battle for more than two hours, although Chen Xuan was not directly hit by shrapnel, he was still pulled a few holes in his arms and back by the blown wood or something, and he didn't feel that during the pursuit battle, the pirates ran away only to find that their clothes were soaked in bloody night, but Xu Ruohan and Xia Yunru were blocked by Chen Xuan's body, and they were not injured except for some fright.

"Brother, are you injured, is it serious? Medical team, medical team, where are you dying, come up the! ”

Sun Zhiheng rushed over and grabbed Chen Xuan, although Chen Xuan looked miserable, in fact, he suffered some skin injuries, but Sun Zhiheng didn't know, and urged the medical team members who came with the ship like a fire.

"Don't shout, I'm fine, but the brothers below, I'm afraid there will be a lot of casualties this time, let the brothers of the escort team try their best to treat it, regardless of the cost."

Chen Xuan couldn't resist Sun Zhiheng's stubbornness, so he had to let the brothers of the medical team check again, and Sun Zhiheng was relieved.

"Why did you get here, we sent a telegram asking for help, but you shouldn't have arrived so soon?"

Chen Xuan was a little strange, although he was pursued by pirates for nearly two hours, the sailors who were familiar with the sea area clearly said that it would take five or six hours to reach their destination, but Sun Zhiheng and they still arrived in less than two hours.

"We got the news from Boss Huang, and we knew that there was a small group of pirates going out to sea to rob, and we also knew that you would arrive in Java in the next day or two, so we went to sea in advance to meet you, but we didn't see you at sea for hours, and then we saw the smoke coming out of your ship, so we found here."

"Thanks to you for coming in time, otherwise your sister-in-law and I will have to explain to this sea, by the way, who is the boss Huang you are talking about, how would he know the movements of the pirates?"

Only then did Sun Zhiheng realize that Xu Ruohan was also on the boat, and said hello to Xu Ruohan, who was bandaging the wounds of the wounded of the Zhengzhou Gang Escort Team, and then replied to Chen Xuan.

"Boss Huang is the sugar king of Nanyang, called Huang Zhonghan, the scale of his Jianyuan company is only big compared to our Zhenhua, and he is famous in the overseas Chinese circle, Mr. Jiageng is just a small character in his eyes, I heard that he also has a deep friendship with the alliance, and many wharves in Java are also his industry, so it is needless to say that he is well-informed, and we also gave us a lot of help when we first came to Nanyang."

"In this way, when we arrive in Java, we have to pay a good visit to Mr. Huang and thank him for taking care of us."

"Boss Huang also knows that you are coming to Phoenix, and you will be able to see him when you arrive in Phoenix, and some overseas Chinese leaders are also here, Mr. Jiageng is entertaining them, this time Jiang Fangzhen and Wang Xuefu are coming to greet you together, they are chasing the two big ships of pirates."

"Phoenix? Java also has a city with a Chinese name? ”

"Where is the city of Java, what city will those black-skinned monkeys build, this is the city that Zhenhua built himself."

"What? What we built? Tell me, what have you done during this time, how did you build a city in just a few months, and the telegram is not very clear, how did you do it? ”

Listening to Sun Zhiheng's detailed explanation, Chen Xuan only knew that after Chen Kah Kee, Ye Zhongyu and others arrived in Java, a group of people were stationed in Chen Kah Kee's estate, and Chen Kah Kee led the way to visit the Governor of the East India Company in Java, and everything went smoothly, the Dutch heard that the Chinese were going to invest in the establishment of a reclamation company, and the Governor's Mansion who wanted to increase fiscal revenue naturally did not object, and Zhenhua sent enough money to set aside a large piece of land far from the Governor's Mansion for Zhenhua to operate.

Chen Jiageng is familiar with the urine sex of the local **, and also hinted that Li Luqing and others paid to buy local officials, and after the local officials got enough benefits, they even sent troops to help Zhenhua forcibly relocate the original residents in the land rented by Zhenhua.

Although the escort team also came, but the number of people was only about 100 people, the forced relocation of the aborigines naturally affected the interests of all aspects, the aborigines did not dare to provoke the local **, so they took the Zhenhua station to vent their anger, the aborigines did not know where to get the weapon support, sometimes they would launch several attacks on Zhenhua's people a day, although each time they were broken up by the escort team, but they were still annoyed, and the local ** also had no way to take these black-skinned monkeys.

Li Luqing and Ye Zhongyu were a little anxious, as it continued, the people of the task force were blocked in the station, what work was still carried out, so under the recommendation of Chen Jiageng, they visited the overseas Chinese leaders in Java and asked for help, and the leaders of the Javanese Hongmen and the business leaders discussed, let Zhenhua recruit the merchant group guards locally At the same time, they also sent some of their own business group guards to help Zhenhua gain a foothold, of course, Zhenhua also sent more than 200 long and short guns as a thanks.

With the help of personnel and information from local Chinese gangs and chambers of commerce, the escort team led the newly recruited people and overseas Chinese-sponsored men to quickly defeat several disruptive local armed forces, and even killed many behind-the-scenes manipulators.

In this way, Zhenhua quickly opened up the situation, and captured a lot of prisoners, and also made a lot of money when killing the behind-the-scenes manipulators, these local forces are still quite rich, now Zhenhua has sufficient funds, and a large number of captives to do labor, and a steady stream of hungry Chinese people are constantly transported from the country, and the reclamation work is quickly launched.
