Chapter 266: Encounter
Dulong originally planned to leave Malacca with people for a period of time, but he didn't expect that the fleet of the Far Eastern Alliance would come so quickly, and the waters they traveled through were usually known by very few people, and generally only pirate insiders knew.

This time it happened to be encountered, the other side has six warships, this strength is definitely not less than their own, from the white smoke column that comes out, it can be seen that it should be the fleet of Australians, and Australia has always been a god in Southeast Asia.
However, Dulong did not plunder the merchant ships of the Australians, mainly because he was afraid of their revenge, this time he didn't expect them to take the initiative to find him, either you die or I die.
He had already thought about it, but in the face of the Australian attack, he was a little unable to resist, and it seemed very difficult to break out of the encirclement of artillery fire, not to mention that people were fixed in one area before and after, and the two main attacking battleships were also firing shells, and the two battleships were constantly advancing, and then adjusting the gun position to aim.
It's impossible to rush out, this time it seems that it still has to be planted here, Dulong is ready to be killed by shells, but the Australians' artillery is accurate when it hits, and sometimes it is very inaccurate.
In order to train the soldiers, Sun Yang mobilized the main of the two warships to fix the Dulong group of pirates in one area, and then asked the soldiers of the other two warships to take turns to design and train, and his flagship served as the defensive commander, once the enemy had the intention of escaping, he immediately launched an attack.
According to this line of thinking, it is indeed difficult for the enemy to break through the defense line, but Dulong is also a veteran at sea, and saw the flaws of the other party, so he quickly ordered the ships to flee from different directions, so as to attract some firepower.
This intention was seen by Sun Yang, since the Portuguese came with him, there was no reason not to help, so he ordered the Portuguese to pursue the pirates who escaped from the encirclement, and they must not be allowed to escape.
If one of them runs away, it will be a trouble in the future, although the pirates dare not find trouble with the Australian Navy, but it is still possible to find trouble with those merchants, so under the command of Sun Yang, the Australian fleet quickly changed its formation, and the long snakes lined up.
Five warships fired at the same time, which made Dulong a little unbearable, after all, the opponent's artillery was too powerful, and for him, the pirate's artillery was simply impossible to force the Australians.
Let the other side surrender, or we will sink them.
The Australian warship and Dulong's pirate ship were already quite close, and the closer the distance between the two sides, the more Dulong felt the arrival of death, and the feeling of suffocation was already unbearable for him.
Seeing that the Australians had stopped the artillery, he thought that the other party's shells were finished, but he didn't expect that the other party shouted to this side, let them surrender, or they would be sunk directly.
Australia promised to give them a few minutes to think, and both Dulong and Locke were considering whether to surrender.
Surrender is not necessarily death, if you do not surrender you will definitely die,
"Let's surrender, if we get imprisoned, and we can give away the looted money to the Australians. They should let us go when they get the finances. ”
Locke proposes not to look at him as an Englishman, but in his opinion, as long as he has money, he should be able to buy his own life.
The other side asked to send someone to negotiate. After hearing a soldier's report, Sun Yang agreed, after all, for them, there was no point in fighting, and Australia didn't want to see all these pirates die at their own hands.
They should have other uses, and King Hammer had a proposal that these pirates could be kept in captivity and made them official pirates.
"Respect the general, we can surrender, but you must promise to let us go, or we will be killed."
Locke himself came to negotiate in a small boat, and it was not difficult for him to negotiate.
Of course, it depends on what kind of conditions the Australians can offer to let them go, otherwise he will really not be able to speak.
"If you make a mistake, even if you die ten times, you will not be wrong, but we Australians are merciful, you tell me why we want to release you, as long as you can give a reason, then I promise to let you go."
Reason, Locke thought about why the Australians wanted to let himself go, what was this reason, and suddenly thought that he had never robbed Australia's goods.
This reason is good, if it is just like this, Australians will definitely not let go of themselves and others, and they must come up with something advantageous. When the Australians come out this time, they must have to get some benefits to go back, otherwise wouldn't it be a trip for nothing?
"If we can, we are willing to offer gold and silver treasures, I don't know if His Excellency the General is willing to let us go."
Gold and silver treasures are of no use to Australia, except for being shipped back and pressed into the treasury, they have no actual value, and Australia mainly relies on exports.
"That seems like a good reason, but you must hand over all the ships, and everyone is waiting to be dispatched, but I can guarantee that your lives will not be in danger."
Guarantee that there is no danger to life, if so, then it seems that it can be promised, after all, for them, there is no other choice, Dulong and Locke both want to live, as long as they live, there is still hope.
"Well, I hope that Your Excellency the General will not lie to us, we can grant all the requests."
Locke shrugged helplessly, and said yes, this is also a difficult choice for him, he came here from Europe, and finally pulled up Ali's team, and now he is about to be destroyed, and he will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable in his heart.
But for Australia, piracy is within the scope of their crackdown, after all, pirates are robbed by everyone, and their existence is a threat to merchant ships.
Locke and Dulong are both pirates of this generation, and if they escape, they will definitely choose to make a comeback, so you don't have to think about it. It's not that easy to control them, though.
After all, controlling the two largest pirate forces, without a certain amount of supervision, I am afraid it will be difficult for them to obey orders, Malacca must station a navy, otherwise it is too dangerous here, it just so happens that these captured ships can be temporarily used to arm Malacca's overseas territory,
As for these pirates, Wang Tiehammer has explained, some of the better ones can be selected to serve in the navy, after all, the water nature of being a pirate is very good, and it is certain that the sea experience is very rich, as for the two pirate leaders, it can only be escorted back to the mainland to make other arrangements.
I don't know how to arrange Sun Yang, but he can be sure that his life should not be in danger.
