Ran Yao originally felt that it was a little worthless for him to exchange his small life for twelve boats like this, but now that he has brought more boats and is living a good life, he can't help but be happy for him from the bottom of his heart.

Li Di was busy for a while, directing the ships to move the anchorage. To make room for the almost eighty ships, Wu De also came: for more than a thousand people, "purification", rationing of clothing and food, and arranging accommodation were not a big deal for the quarantine camps that were already familiar with the business, but this group of people was no more than the refugees brought from Canton, but a group of pirates, which had to be dealt with carefully. Wu De was afraid that Yanghe was young and inexperienced, so he decided to take charge himself.

"Do you want to transfer another company for reinforcements?"

"No need." Wu De said, "There are only two companies of Guanghai soldiers here, and there is also an infantry company to suppress riots, and the regular army that has been trained for several months can not do more than a thousand pirates of all ages, so we still just run away to Australia." He paused, "And don't get too nervous, people will think we're black." ”

So the tone of loose outside and tight inside was set. But "what if they want to see Ren Fu or He Xin?" "These two people arrived in Lingao in advance, and their whereabouts and treatment can obviously be regarded as a model.

"Don't let them see it for the time being. Xiao Wei, this Ren Fu is under the training of Hello Haode. ”

"Isn't the matter of training going to Ran Yao? I'm brainwashing at best. Wei Aiwen pressed the big-brimmed hat that was blown up by the sea breeze and touched the belt again.

"He Xin is actually easy to talk - this guy has no opinions, he is just a soft bone, a grass on the wall, and he will do whatever he wants. Ren Fu can't do it, he thinks that we are not righteous, and we don't sell grain and detain his ship......"

"Tell him that Zhucai is going to be finished?"

"How can this be easy to say, it can't be said that we are old with black colors."

"We must give him good guidance and let him know that our ascendancy is the right direction for representing the development of history." Wu De said, thinking that this matter is still a little tricky. I took Yanghe to the quarantine camp.

There were telegrams on both sides, and Lelin had already reported the approximate number of people on the ship. The dormitory here in the quarantine camp was immediately opened, and the air doors opened by the briquette stoves that had not been renovated for a short time were blown inside, and the newly added honeycomb coal burned red after a while. In the pot was the first meal of the quarantine camp as usual: gruel.

Wu De looked at it and shook his head: "Add another half of the rice and add more vegetables." ”

"It's not that people who have been hungry for too long can't eat enough......"

"They are not hungry people, and even if they have eaten less or almost recently, they cannot be compared to the refugees who have not eaten or drunk for many days - more vegetables, and there is no food at sea."

Dormitories, clothing, and health personnel who are ready to conduct medical examinations and treatments for them are in place one after another. All preparations were made, and in order to add to the atmosphere, Tintin had hired the only group of folk drummers in the county to wait at the dock, ready to preach and welcome. It is also planned to call the students of the National School to line up to welcome them.

Chen Haiyang said: "There is no need to be too grand, this kind of pirate can't be too noble, so as not to be arrogant!" ”

After exchanging information with Le Lin, Lin Baiguang returned to Shi Shi's ship, and the entire fleet sailed towards Bopu under the escort of the patrol fleet.

Before long, I saw four masts in front of me with colorful flags hung on them, and the strangely shaped ships were breaking the waves, and the waves were rolling, and the momentum was extremely amazing. Shi 14 was taken aback, this ship has no sails and no oars, and it travels so fast, it is about the "iron clipper" of the Australians. Before the four iron clippers grabbed the fleet, Shi XIV was just about to tell the helmsman to be careful, but he saw that the bows of the four ships were divided into two wings, and they had already avoided the fleet and turned back to the two wings.

As if for the sake of performance, the four iron clippers changed formations from time to time around the entire fleet, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, sometimes pressing and sometimes leading, and from time to time shuttling back and forth in the fleet.

"So fast!" Shi 14 is an old pirate, of course he knows what this terrible maneuverability means, not only does the other party not need to consider the direction of the wind, but also can adjust the direction of travel anytime and anywhere, as flexible as a fish. No wonder there are only a thousand Australians, seven or eight boats can gain a foothold in Lingao, Liu Xiang and the big shopkeeper are helpless against them!

The sailors and families on all boats, hearing that the Australians' "iron clippers" came to greet them, rushed to the deck to see these "iron clippers" that had long been thunderous, no sail oars, made of iron but would not sink, and had the "power of ghosts and gods".

"It's really made of iron! Oh my. Iron doesn't sink in water! ”

"It's probably not China's iron."

"Who knows! There are no sails yet, and they are running so fast. ”

"Demons! Demons! Some of the sailors shouted in horror and were knocked to the ground by the leader's mouth. He was immediately dragged into the cabin by his cronies and imprisoned. This can let Australians know that they can't eat and carry around.

The leaders know very well in their hearts that this is a courtesy and a warning from Australians, and they are all in a very complicated mood. After all, the situation there of the Australians is not clear to anyone except one Shi XIV.

After being escorted for a while, the fishing boat suddenly sped up and soon disappeared from their sight, going as quickly as it came. At this time, the buoy outside Bopu Harbor had already appeared in Lin Baiguang's sight. Then, a puff of white smoke rose from the towering beacon tower, followed by the sound of rolling thunder.

"It's a welcome salute." Lin Baiguang said.

Seventy-eight large and small sea vessels, the largest of which was more than 300 tons and the smallest of which were more than 40 tons, were all ships of Guangzhou and fortune that were common along the southeast coast. This naturally occurring rocky embankment has been transformed into a real barrage, with roads, lighthouses, forts, and trestles to facilitate the landing of people. In this way, the pirates on board helped the old and the young from the pier to the embankment.

On the dock, the blowing team found by Ding Ding is taking turns playing "Happy Meeting" and "Flowers and Branches"

Shi 14 and more than a dozen major leaders have changed into their most haode clothes and met the "big Australian boss" under the guidance of Lin Baiguang.

Chen Haiyang chose the place to meet the defected pirate leader, in front of the customs building of Bopu. Although the customs building is only a three-story red brick building, there is a large open space covered with cinders in front of it, and there is no clock on the bell tower, which looks quite imposing. Especially standing on the square in front of the building, you can clearly see the huge shadow of the Fengcheng ship on the opposite side of the back bay of the Customs Building. Enough to impress.

Chen Haiyang asked a high-backed navy captain's chair to be placed on the steps in front of the customs building. The Navy cadet was transferred from the Military and Political School, and he was counted as a security officer. They all wore Navy uniforms and straddled the latest dispensing mechanism, the Navy Sergeant's Sword. The cadets were lined up on his two wings, and their waists were straight and mighty.

From the bottom of the stairs to the entrance to the square, sixty men from each of the army and navy stood guard, their polished bayonets lined up in straight lines.

The pirate leaders followed Lin Baiguang cautiously, except for Shi Shixi, everyone else came to Lingao for the first time. The shock of the moment when the huge iron ship appeared in the field of vision had not yet subsided, and on the other side of the bay, tall pavilions stood tall with long arms outstretched. From time to time, bursts of white smoke came out, and there was a rumbling sound.

"Turning, turning!" Someone exclaimed quietly.

Sure enough, the long arms on a huge pavilion were slowly rotating, and under it were long ropes, hanging some huge goods. Suddenly, a high-pitched and passionate scream was heard in the distance, and the sound spread across the bay and into the sky, scaring them all.

"Damn, what the hell is ......?"

"Don't speak!" Shi Fourteen whispered.

Shi Shishi originally thought that the big boss of Lingao would be more polite, and let him salute at the dock, and the two sides hugged their fists and passed. Then there is the group drinking and eating meat together - this is the routine of all those who have pulled a team to vote for the big shopkeeper over the years. I didn't expect Lingao to be full of official authority here. I can't help but feel a little awkward.

A cordon was set up outside the square, and all the servants and soldiers were not allowed to enter, and their swords were left outside. From the entrance to the bottom of the steps, two lines of soldiers, heavily guarded, silence throughout the square. There was only the fluttering sound of the hunt of the flag.

Lin Baiguang led them through the cordon to the bottom of the steps. No one commanded, and all of them knelt down.

Chen Haiyang can also speak a few words of Cantonese and Hokkien dialect in this time and space, but he doesn't say a word, and only tells them to get up in Mandarin without kneeling. Xiong Buyou, who was acting as an interpreter on the side, took a step and spoke first in Cantonese and then in Hokkien.

Chen Haiyang did not speak dialects in order to show the status of Mandarin as the "Chinese language", and asked Xiong Buyou to use popular dialect translations to show respect for the descendants.

Shi Shishi and the others hurriedly stood up, only to see that the big leader sitting on the steps was no more than in his early thirties, sitting on a high-backed rattan chair, and his body was nothing more than a blue cloth gown that Australians like to wear, with a cloth belt around his waist - this dress was really simple to the extreme, almost no different from the young soldiers around him.

Such a simple big leader, it was the first time for everyone to see it, and they were a little overwhelmed.

It was still Shi Shishi who dealt more with the crossing group, hurriedly stepped forward, clasped his fists and saluted, and said something like "I have admired the fame for a long time, I am willing to come to serve, and I will work together in the future, and I will work together in harmony" and other "KAO Wharf" when he defected. After saying this, he presented the books he had brought with him—the rosters and the books of ships, food, weapons, and gunpowder that he had transcribed on the seas for the past two days. As a sign of sincerity
