What doesn't have long legs but runs fast?

Rumor!

In just a few days, the small Penghu has gone crazy, everyone knows that there is about to be a Spanish treasure ship loaded with treasures from the New World from the Strait of Malacca into Southeast Asia, the gold carried on it is enough to make people rich overnight, in the tavern, almost all the topics are about this fleet, one by one the pirates are excited old faces red, saying that the spit stars splash as if they saw the gold and silver sea with their own eyes.

It's not enough to say that you don't practice fake tricks, and it's not enough to pass on it, and the Daming pirates who go to sea every morning are also endless, and even the city of Relanza is not blocked, and a large number of pirates are pressed along the coastline of the Indochina Peninsula to the Strait of Malacca.

Since it is a pirate, it is naturally impossible to be honest with his hands and feet, and the scourge of the Japanese in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty was staged again in Annam, Myanmar and other coastal countries of the Indochina Peninsula, and the pirates carrying flintlock pistols rushed into Haiphong, the old port and other cities in general, and plundered the local area, but the Ming Dynasty has Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou, Annan has no such characters, even the armor is not equipped, and the Annan official army with big swords and spears is about to collapse at the touch of a button, and the face of the elite armed pirates of the Ming Dynasty is simply helpless.

And a funny scene happened, after the heavy losses, even suffered a few defeats in Annam, Burma and other southwestern countries actually sent envoys to Nanjing City, asking the suzerain's Nanming to administer justice for them.

…………

From December to March of the second year of enlightenment, for several months, all of them passed through this turmoil, and at the beginning of March, the Ming thieves who were crazy because of gold set sail one after another, and the originally lively Penghu had become deserted.

However, to people's surprise, the initiator of the whole incident, Zheng Sen, who is known as a model worker among pirates, actually quieted down and did not leave the port for three months.

After quieting down, Zheng Sen spent a thousand taels of silver to build a simple fortress house in a fisherman near the main island of Penghu, and his boat was also moored here, worthy of being the eldest son of the old dragon's head, this taste is also extremely heavy, in the innermost secret room made of reinforced concrete bought from Hangzhou, several braziers are crackling, and several Liberian men are hanging in handcuffs with their hands, and their feet are locked to the wall separately, exposing their delicate, ......, and sturdy flesh full of black hair without covering. His hair was still moaning there.

It was still a bottle of wine, and Zheng Sen was drinking it in small sips while shaking off his whip.

"Young Master!"

The door creaked open, and a man who was not too tall, wearing a short coat, and had exceptionally strong muscles, first glanced at a few unlucky Spanish ghosts hanging on the wall, and his face trembled violently, and then he bowed heavily.

"As you pee! In the early hours of this morning, Yuan Dabao also went out with the fleet, and in Erli Island, he also joined some fleets from the north, which were by no means ships under the East India Company! Looking at the situation, it should be going south!"

While following the report, the Zheng army general Gan Hui was still slandering in his heart, no wonder Shi Daxuan didn't come, he wanted to send himself over to report, the young master deserved to grow up in Dongying, and he had such a great interest in training men! In case he has a crush on Lao Tzu......

Thinking about it, Gan Hui also quickly tightened his short coat to hide his chest muscles.

Unaware that his subordinates were slandering themselves like this, and snorting red wine again, Zheng Sen nodded with satisfaction.

"Sure enough, this hairy brute didn't disappoint me!"

When a normal person thinks of a Spanish treasure ship full of treasures, their first impression must be to rob it, but those who become big things, such as this Zheng Sen, immediately think about it a little more, since they can think of the pirates under the command of these companies, then the ordinary shareholders in the upper echelons of the company can't think of it? And in terms of strength, even if you add a piece of pirates in the South China Sea, it may not be half as much as Mao Jue's Royal Navy, such a big piece of meat! There's no need for the company to share it with the pirate owners who are kept as eagle dogs.

Moreover, if the Spanish treasure ship was so important, how could it not be heavily guarded? Although Zheng Sen has confidence in himself, his three ships, almost all of whom are recruited by the elite of the Zheng family's pirates, are also unable to eat the escort fleet composed of more than a dozen Western gunboats.

So, he spread the news, since he couldn't swallow it alone, then muddy the water, and attract many sharks to swallow the bait, and then he would have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, and maybe he could snatch one or two Spanish treasure ships.

I have been in Hong Kong these days, and I am also keeping an eye on the dynamics of the East India Company, and the intelligence of these bigwigs must be more accurate than that of a small pirate of their own, and sure enough, today, Yuan Dabao, the fleet commander directly under the company, can't help it! personally led the team to the sea, and also gathered the reinforcements of the Ming Royal Navy, that is, the Spaniards are really coming, and the time has come to see the poor dagger!

The East India Company is also ready to make a move!

couldn't help but feel more excited, put down the wine glass, Zheng Sen shouted happily: "Let Shi Daxuan gather the brothers, it's time for us to move our hands and feet!"

"Little obedience!"

Being able to go down, for Gan Hui, it was really like being amnestied, three steps and two steps hurriedly walked out, coldly glanced back, and watched Zheng Sen walk over to the sturdy body of an Iberian man and walked over like an intoxication, and the Zheng Junyong general couldn't help but chill again.

It was really full of intoxication, and under the frightened eyes of the unlucky Spaniard, Zheng Sen put down his whip, reached out and took out the red-hot soldering iron that had been thrown into the stove, and shook his wrist with a cruel smile.

"Sir Charlotte, huh? What else should Ben Shao know about treasure ships? ”

In the Inquisition, this big brand has seen a lot, but it was the first time that it was his turn, and the Spanish conquistador immediately had a face full of fear and shouted in horror.

"Oh! Sell dogs! I've told you all I know, sir! Don't! Ahh!!h

With a hissing sound, the entire prison was filled with a strange smell of barbecue.

Half an hour later, a five-masted battleship and two three-masted galleons from the Dongjiang River were also full of sails and rushed out of the calm bay of Penghu.

…………

There is no time at sea, in the blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed in the endless voyage, which can be regarded as following the tail teeth of the last wave of Ming pirates, along the long coastline, Zheng Sen's fleet has crossed most of Southeast Asia and arrived at the end of the Malay Peninsula.

Forty-six years ago, the Portuguese fleet fought a one-sided war with the Kingdom of Manraka, and after plundering Manraka, the Portuguese set fire to the city, and since then, the door to Southeast Asia has been abandoned for more than a century, until the arrival of the British in the 19th century.

Although it was deserted, it was also a necessary place to go out of Southeast Asia, and it was already March, according to the confessions of captured Spanish merchant ships and captured prisoners of the breached Philippine colonial strongholds, the Spanish treasure ships that had set off from the west coast of South America for Asian trade had already departed from Manila, intending to pass through here, and then go back to Spain via the Cape of Good Hope through Africa, where they crouched and waited for the other side to throw themselves into the net.

At this time, Singapore has completely become a pirate city, relying on the deep-water port of the Strait of Malacca, more than 190 sailing ships of all sizes are moored here, in addition to Mao Jue from Dandong and other shipyards to increase the combat effectiveness of these pirate shipowners in addition to the Dongjiang gunboats, there are also old-style lucky ships, more than 90 Guangzhou ships, these ships have a few guns in the bow and stern, the caliber is still small, and the combat effectiveness is really weak, but it is like grabbing toilet mats in later generations, seeing that the big guys are here to rob the treasure ship, This part of the shipowners also took a chance to pick up the cheap.

Even if he looked down on his father Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Sen still deeply suffered Zheng Zhilong's legacy, and after his fleet landed in the North Point of Singapore City, more than 20 pirate captains immediately came to the door, all of whom were Zheng Zhilong's old subordinates.

"Young Master!"

Standing under the middle mast of his flagship Black Island, looking at Guo Yi, Huang Chang and the others who came to visit, Zheng Sen was not happy, but stood up hurriedly with a gloomy face, and suddenly hugged his fists at everyone.

"Everyone is now the captain of the company, and you are all the seniors of Sen, what young master is there and a lot of masters? The company's admiral Lord Yuan is here, why don't you wait to meet Lord Yuan, why do you come to worship me? ”

"Get off the boat quickly! Disembark quickly!"

As the saying goes, if the wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it! There is also a saying that a gun shoots a bird! On weekdays, he Zheng Sen can wave! He can fight for his reputation for bravery and make other pirates fear him! But at this time, the East India Company has come forward, and if he starts this small group and forms a gang, then he is obviously ambitious to fight against the company's leader? It may even cause a conflict between the company's directors and his father Zheng Zhilong, and if he chooses between his eldest son and the stability of the entire Zheng family, Zheng Sen can be sure that Zheng Zhilong will not hesitate to give up his choice of the latter.

If it weren't for the fear of losing the face of these old Zheng Zhilong's subordinates, these Zheng Sen wouldn't even let them get on the boat.

However, listening to Zheng Sen pushing down, a group of old pirates couldn't help but show a different look, among which Guo Yi was stunned and hugged his fists heavily: "Why did the young master say this?" Didn't Lord Yuan stay in Penghu well? ”

"Yes! Master! The company didn't intervene in this siege of Spain at all, there are only us here, and there are some unseen offspring! How can the young master ask me to wait to meet Master Yuan? ”

"The company's fleet didn't come !!"

Stunned no less than them, a face quickly turned red, full of incredulity, Zheng Sen almost didn't jump up.

The tricks are exhausted, but it's still a bad move!
