Although the pirate ship hit the "Wuchang No. 1" ironclad ship, it could not hurt anyone, but only hit the iron plate on the ship, and wiped out a series of fires.

Zheng Chenggong commanded Ruoding, first ordered the six main guns on the front and rear decks to attack one of the pirate ships, sink one and then hit the other, the two pirate ships, one was sunk, and the other fled with thick black smoke.

At this time, the three bird ships that were guarding the back also came up to reinforce and stopped one of the pirate ships that rushed up.

"Wuchang No. 1" freed his hand and approached the fourth pirate ship.

The pirates were clearly at a disadvantage, and the two pirate ships did not dare to rush forward any longer.

Just when it was 100 meters away from the "Wuchang No. 1", the pirate ship that had slowed down began to turn around.

"Catch up with it, you can't let it run!" Zheng Chenggong gave the order to pursue.

"Wuchang No. 1" opened up at full speed and chased after the fleeing pirate ship, bombarding it with three main guns in front as it pursued.

Another pirate ship also tried to escape, but was surrounded and beaten by three bird ships that came up with reinforcements.

The five bird ships that had previously served as the avant-garde, because they got back, got rid of the entanglement of the pirate ship, turned the bow of the ship, and killed it back, just blocking the pirate ship that was about to escape.

The tide was turned all at once, and the two pirate ships did not escape the fate of being sunk.

The battle lasted until one o'clock in the afternoon, and after fifty pirate ships, thirty transports, and twenty armed ships, nine armed ships were sunk and five armed ships were damaged, and the pirate fleet fled the battlefield;

Zheng Chenggong's fleet also suffered losses, being sunk by pirates, a clipper ship, a bird ship, and a bird ship being severely damaged.

"Let these dog mongrels run away, or we'll make a lot of money if we capture their transport."

After all, Zheng Chenggong was born as a pirate, and he always thinks of interests when he fights.

Before he could finish speaking, he heard the rumbling of cannon on the sea.

The sound of the cannon came from the direction from which the pirate ship had fled.

"It's our Sixth Fleet." Only then did Zheng Chenggong remember that he had ordered the Sixth Fleet to send support.

"The sound of artillery is so dense!" Adjutant Zhou Wenbin said happily.

Zheng Chenggong heard that the battle over there had begun, and he ordered the fleet to move forward at full speed to participate in the operation to exterminate this pirate.

Leaving five bird ships to escort the transports, he led nine ships in pursuit of the pirates' escape.

The closer "Wuchang No. 1" got to the battlefield, the sound of running from there became sparse, and by the time Zheng Chenggong and them arrived at the battlefield, the battle here was over.

After fighting back and forth for no more than half an hour, this pirate fleet was cleaned up.

Why is the Sixth Fleet so good? Because they dispatched a hundred warships this time, including the "Wuchang No. 6", they sank ten pirate ships with a single artillery shot, and the rest were all taken prisoner.

"Wuchang No. 1" came to the battlefield where the fierce battle had just begun, the fighting here had subsided, and standing on the bow of the ship, you could still see several burning pirate ships.

Happily, none of the 30 transport ships were damaged, and all were captured. The ships were carrying rhino horn, sumac, spices, tin, sugar, ivory, frankincense, ambergris and other commodities purchased from India, which were currently in tight supply, and it was a lot of income to sell them on the market.

Zheng Chenggong ordered that all these transport ships be driven back to Ryukyu Province, and all the pirates they caught were killed, so as not to waste food, and these people were all from the Tokugawa shogunate of the island country.

On March 8, Zheng Chenggong's fleet sailed into the port of Naha, and his classmate and friend, Gao Junshan's second son, Gao Chengjunjun, personally received Zheng Chenggong at the dock in Naha.

As soon as the two met, they recognized each other's warm embrace, and then greeted each other.

Gao Chengjun said: "Old classmate, there is progress, and now you are all the commanders!" ”

Gao Chengjun is only eighteen years old, facing his eight-year-old big brother and best friend of the bunk bed, as if he is the big brother, his every move is so calm and sophisticated, and his words are full of caring ingredients.

When he was at the Naval Academy, Zheng Chenggong didn't know that this lower bunk brother was the second son of the current emperor, and the two helped each other in their studies and took care of each other in life, just like two brothers.

Now that he knows, of course, he can't call himself a brother in front of this little brother anymore, he bowed his hand to Gao Chengjun with a serious face according to the etiquette of the previous dynasty, and said, "The last general will meet the second prince!" ”

"The last general will meet the second prince." Gao Chengjun learned Zheng Chenggong's tone, and after speaking, he laughed out loud, he held Zheng Chenggong's fist together, "You still call me Erbao, it sounds kind." ”

When Gao Chengjun was studying, he had the name Gao Erbao.

"Two, two treasures."

"That's right," Gao Chengjun smiled, "Now that you are the commander and I am your soldier, I should salute you." ”

"I can't do it, I can't do it." Zheng Chenggong hurriedly stopped Gao Chengjun.

Gao Chengjun's hand held Zheng Chenggong's hand tightly, and said: "My father said that this is a new era, I don't enjoy the treatment of the palace nobles, I am just myself, an ordinary Erbao, a student of Chongwen Naval Academy, and your classmate and friend of Zheng Chenggong." ”

Zheng Chenggong was moved to shake Gao Chengjun's hand tightly.

Adjutant Zhou Wenbin stepped forward and arched his hand: "Zhou Wenbin meets the second prince!" ”

Gao Chengjun said: "You brought us such a heavy gift as soon as you came, and my liaison office will hold a banquet for you tonight." ”

Gao Junshan set up a liaison office in the Ryukyus Province, which was actually set up specifically for Gao Chengjun's army, so that he could have a corresponding official title, and now he is the director of this liaison office. In fact, the power of this liaison office is very large, everyone knows the identity of the Gao Cheng Army, and even the governor of Ryukyu Province, Shang Zhi, has to give him three thin noodles, this Shang Zhen is the former king of the Ryukyus, he in order to get rid of the control of the island country of Satsuma, surrendered to the Huaxia Kingdom, Gao Junshan appointed him as the governor of Ryukyu Province.

And the "gift" that Gao Chengjun said in his mouth was the cargo of the thirty ships of Japanese robbers. In fact, these goods belonged to the Tokugawa shogunate of the island country, and they took away smuggled scarce goods in Southeast Asia under the banner of pirates, and on the way back, they encountered Zheng Chenggong's warship, and they thought that there was another door-to-door deal, and unscrupulously opened fire on the fleet.

These Japanese who don't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth still think that these fleets belong to the Ming Dynasty, and they think that they can win with just a few cannons. It's really too much kohlrabi and daydreaming!

Zheng Chenggong said to Gao Chengjun: "Erbao, I'm really sorry, I'm going to rush back to the headquarters now, and I will definitely arrive at the banquet in the evening." ”

"Good! We're going to let go of our belly and drink tonight, and we won't go home if we don't get drunk. ”

Zheng Chenggong said in a low voice: "Erbao, I have something important to discuss with you tonight, and the matter of drinking will be left for the future." ”

"It's a long time to come, it's a long time to come."
