"Thank you, sir, for saving your life."

The merchant ship came by small boat, a fierce warship was here, and the pirates were surrendered in three times and five times, and the merchant ships dared to run away without saying hello, and when the battle was over, Li Jinjiang, the steward of the merchant ships, took the initiative to come and ask for a meeting.

If you don't make a gesture, Li Jinjiang is afraid that the other party will suddenly turn his face, that is more terrible than pirates, they played soy sauce on the side of the battle just now, and saw the process of the volunteers shelling the pirates, and the shells were shot out without money.

When encountering such a force at sea, it is necessary to take the initiative to show goodwill, otherwise it will be difficult to say what will be done. Kill people and throw them into the sea, where to reason.

Chen Zijian: "Where are you going?" What is the cargo on board. ”

Li Jinjiang looked up in amazement, "My lord, it's all worthless things." ”

What is the cargo on board, of course Li Jinjiang will not tell the truth. Isn't it equivalent to stretching your neck to cut others how much wealth you have?

"My lord, the head of the family and the governor of Nanjing are close friends, please let us go. The little ones are generously gifted! You won't be disappointed. ”

Bring out the background to intimidate the person in front of you so that you can get out.

Li Jinjiang bent down to compliment, after all, his life was in the hands of others.

Chen Zijian smiled contemptuously, "Hehe, the governor of Nanjing, is a big official, but the imperial court was not broken by Li Zicheng, what can your background governor help you?" You can't bite me, hehe, don't bother to ask you what goods, anyway, when it's in our hands, I'll check it when the time comes, so I won't bother you, you all let me stay on the prisoner ship! ”

When is it, what kind of broken governor do you want to take out to scary, the biggest background of the imperial court was abandoned by them, but they found a broken governor as the background, how to say it, pick up sesame seeds and throw watermelons.

Chen Zijian couldn't understand what these people were thinking.

The rest of the things, with Zhang Wu watching, nothing can happen.

"Chief, here's what came out of the inventory."

The goods were mainly for merchant ships, and as for the pirates, a group of poor ghosts went to rob others, counting on what money they had.

Cotton, silk, ironware, medicinal herbs, ceramics, mainly the four major goods, from the Jiangnan area to the South Seas, the goods are mainly of this type.

A day later, according to the pirate's confession, the Volunteers appeared on the Nameless Island, which was so numerous along the coast that the pirates could easily find a den when they went out to sea.

The captured pirates, together with the caravan, were sent back to Zhangjiacheng, and the pirates continued to go south and were thrown to Luzon Li Si for detention, and more than 100 people in the caravan were captured and sent to Zhangjiacheng to work for free for a few months before they were allowed to be free.

Dozens of pirates died, and the corpses were thrown into the sea to feed the fish, Chen Zijian did not have any effort to collect the corpses for the pirates.

As for whether the pirates will be killed, they don't say where their dens are? Then overestimate the integrity of a pirate, just a broken pirate, what integrity can he have!

Regardless of where the den is, killing chickens and monkeys is the fastest way, in fact, the big boss of the pirates and the pirates at the level of a squad leader, Chen Zijian directly ordered a knife to cut down.

As a pirate leader, whether he surrenders sincerely or not, Chen Zijian does not intend to leave such a scourge, as for the remaining pirate bottom, this can be captured back as a coolie.

The imperial court sailors abandoned their martial arts, not to mention going to sea to suppress bandits, they couldn't even ensure their own safety, pirates often went ashore to rob the people, and the Ming government was powerless.

However, this group of pirates is sitting at home today, and disaster comes from heaven.

"Chief, what to do!"

Battleships appear in the waters near the pirate den, the pirate area is about one square kilometer, the pirate east cliff, three sides of the beach.

The pirates of the Ming government are helpless, a simple matter for the volunteers, and the navy has scourged the pirates in the sea of eastern Guangdong, no, it has been cleaned up and has experience in dealing with pirates.

Chen Zijian waved his hand, "The task has arrested people, and when the time comes, they will be thrown to Luzon to open up the wasteland to atone for their crimes." Don't die too many people. ”

Chen Zijian assigned the task, and Zhang Wu was responsible for the execution.

The Navy has the presence of marines, and the marines are responsible for going ashore to clear out the enemy.

Zhang Wu "Open the cannon, first fire five rounds of cannons, and suppress the pirate morale for me." ”

The corners of Chen Zijian's mouth twitched beside him, but it did not affect Zhang Wu's command, although the heartache was consumed, in order to reduce his own casualties, the waste was wasted.

There was only one pirate den, and most of the pirates had been robbed and captured by the Volunteers, and there were no more than 100 pirates left on the island.

For such a small number of people, firing at least more than 100 cannons is not a waste of what is a waste.

After the shelling, the volunteers went ashore and took the prisoners directly.

Some of the Navy's practices are close to the US military in later generations, and the most famous thing in the US military in later generations is to call for air support at every turn. The Volunteers were not so extravagant, but they fired artillery at small targets at every turn. There really isn't much difference between the two.

You must know that Zhangjiacheng does not have much gunpowder preserved, and the navy consumes gunpowder so much that it cannot save it, so it can only mine Taiwan's sulfur ore as soon as possible.

Otherwise, the little gunpowder that was kept in Zhangjiacheng would be consumed, and the combat effectiveness of the volunteers could be said to be directly reduced by sixty percent.

"Boom!"

"Boom"

……

The obvious buildings on the island have become targets for the navy to practice artillery shooting, and as for how many unlucky pirates were unlucky and were hit by artillery, Chen Zijian was not in the mood for a chance.

Wu Yong appeared in a small boat, pirates are not suitable for large ships to enter, relying on their own small boats to log in, the warship has a draft of two meters, and there is a risk that pirates may run aground if they are close to the reef.

"The spearman is a bitter life, and most of the credit is robbed by the artillery game, and the brothers can only pick up the remaining soup."

The volunteers on the same ship said, "You can be content, at least we go up like this, there is not much danger in encounter, the pirates have been beaten by artillery for so long, what courage can they have to come out and fight hard." ”

"That's right, the less the merit, the less, the fear that the volunteer will not have merit in the future? Everyone should be careful later, don't throw your life here for the sake of merit, otherwise you won't be able to enjoy it no matter how much credit you accumulate. ”

The captain instilled in several people the truth that they should not lose their lives for the sake of merit.

The battleships lowered fifteen small boats, and the first batch of seventy-five volunteers rowed slowly to the shore.

The pirates were suffering from the baptism of artillery, and even when they saw the Volunteers landing, they didn't have the courage to come and stop the landing.

Half an hour later, the fourth group of volunteers successfully landed, during which the artillery fired non-stop to deter pirates on the island.

Brigade Commander: "Chong, everyone knows what to do when they encounter pirates." ”

"Yes!" The crowd replied in unison.

The artillery stopped firing, and the sea suddenly became quiet, but it was the silence before the big battle.

Zhang Wu came over proudly, "Chief, look at your brother!" ”

"Generally speaking, it took too long for you to land, and the pirates don't have Minnie guns, otherwise there are not many people who can stand firm when you go ashore at this speed."

Staying on the Empire, Chen Zijian saw the rapid landing of land operations in later generations, and then looked at the current Marine Corps rowing slowly and landing, and there was a sense of disobedience.

However, the boat can only be rowed with oars, and it is good enough that no volunteers can do it.

In addition, the enemy is only a group of business standards, there is no need to be too demanding about the landing.

When the Marines entered the sea and were obscured by trees, they could not see the details, so Chen Zijian put down his binoculars and gave up.

Just a pirate den, Chen Zijian can clean them up alone, of course, as the chief, there is no need for such a thing, the volunteers under him need military merits, Chen Zijian has no need to rob them of their credit.

Wu Yong followed the five-person team to act, and soon found that several people who were crushed to death by the collapsed wooden house appeared in the pirate den, what good people can be, even if they are good people, they are ready to die when they appear here, and there is no soul under the gun.

"Help, save me."

At the bottom of the voice, a pirate was pressed on his thigh by wood, blood flowed all over the ground, the pirate had more air out and less air in, such an injury, there was nothing he could do.

Even if you have the ability, you won't waste it on pirates.

The platoon commander took a closer look, shook his head and said, "It's not saved, give him a good time!" ”

Wu Yong came over, pulled out his dagger, and slashed the pirate's neck.

The battle is either you die or I die, there is nothing to pay attention to, I don't want to have casualties on my side, so I have to let the opponent die.

The matter of capturing the remaining prisoners is a small problem for the marines armed with Minnie guns, this is not the first time that such a thing has been experienced, and such a thing is often done in the sea of eastern Guangdong.

The volunteers of the Marine Corps died at the hands of no less than ten people.
