Chapter 74: Shocked
The captain of the Zheng family merchant ship is surnamed Zhu, first name, and li. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Zhu Li is also a veteran of running boats, when Zheng Zheng Zhilong was still a pirate, he followed him, he was a small soldier under him, and later made a fortune, and these people who followed in the early years naturally became a small leader, the so-called one person attained the Tao, and succeeded the chicken dog to be leveled, but that's it.
Dare to intercept the Zheng family's merchant ships at sea, isn't this looking for death, not to mention that the sailors of the official family don't dare, even the red-haired people have to think about one or two, aren't these self-proclaimed old Australian people afraid of retaliation!
With doubts, he chose to give up resistance, after all, the other party had a fierce expression, and the black hole cannon was aimed at his ship, as long as he dared to make a move, they would be killed in the belly of the fish.
It seems that the Zheng family's signboard is useless to them, so they have to figure out what they want to do.
Zhu Li was caught on the boat, Sun Yang held a telescope in his hand, and squinted at the other party: "You are the person in charge of this ship, very good, now I am honored to tell you one thing, you have been captured and become a prisoner of the Federal Republic of Australia, but you have the right to complain and debate, this is what we give you." ”
A lot of fresh words, although the other party used Hokkien dialect, but Zhu Li still didn't understand, the main reason is that modern words and ancient words have fundamentally different interpretations.
But there is one thing he probably understood, what the other party said they were training, and attacking them should mean attacking Zhu Li smiled and took out some silver from his sleeve.
"Master Jun, we don't mean to be offended, everything is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."
Sun Yang didn't take his money, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, misunderstanding, I don't think it maybe, when you enter the range of our warship, you are clearly premeditated, Xiao Ye, have you found anything.
"Sir, we found lethal weapons on the other side's ship, No, that's all, and they also have two small cannons in the bow and stern, so we can be sure that this time it is a warship."
Warship, that is, a military ship, this word is easy to understand, Zhu Li eagerly defended, this is not a warship, but a merchant ship, but the other party does not believe it at all.
"Captain Zhu, I'm sorry, you will be imprisoned and we will try you, in order to avoid the loss of the cargo on your ship, we will carry it all to our ship."
Sun Yang smiled evilly and waved his hand, letting Xiao Ye and the others move the goods of the Zheng family's merchant ship.
Although these goods are nothing to Australia, they can make the Zheng family lose a fortune.
Next, it is necessary to put the person back to ventilate the news, otherwise the Zheng family will not know if the ship is hijacked.
It was impossible for Captain Zhu Li to put it back, so he could only ask his men to go back and report the news, which was thirty nautical miles away from Quanzhou, and he only needed to use an assault boat to send them to the shore and leave them behind.
So after Xiao Ye finished the task, he took several crew members on the assault boat and drove towards the Quanzhou wharf.
He sailed away only when several crew members were thrown overboard and swam toward the shore.
The person in charge of the Zheng family in Quanzhou is Zheng Hongkui, who is also the younger brother of Zheng Zhilong, in addition to being in charge of the Zheng family's business, he also has an identity as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the intelligence system of the Zheng family is also in charge of him.
The Australians dared to intercept the Zheng family's merchant ship, which surprised him greatly, weren't they afraid of the Zheng family's retaliation?
After asking about the situation, he gave Zheng Zhilong a letter of resignation, and at the same time arranged for someone to go to sea to negotiate with the Australians, judging from the interception incident, the Australians should retaliate against the Zheng family for blocking their business in Daming.
It is very clear in the letter that if the Zheng family continues like this, Australia will not mind acting as pirates.
This is a bit of a scoundrel, but it also shows a problem, the Australians are indeed retaliating, and it seems that temporarily stopping the blockade of Australia or sending ships to attack should be the best choice.
The Zheng family had a set of rapid methods for transmitting information, and the news was quickly sent to Zheng Zhilong in Fuzhou.
Old Nikolai Zheng Zhilong was so angry that he threw the cup of tea on the ground, someone dared to rob his ship, he hijacked a ship at sea for half his life, but he didn't expect that someone would dare to rob his ship now, this is repaid, how can the Zheng family mix it up, this matter cannot be compromised, we must give the Australians a little color to see, aren't they robbing ships, then send ships to attack them.
After Zheng Hongkui received the news of the attack, he was not too surprised, with his understanding of his eldest brother, he would definitely make such a choice, but Australians do need to teach a lesson, otherwise the prestige of the Zheng family will decline in the future.
Quanzhou is the second largest base of the Zheng family, Zheng Zhilong has stationed a sea force here for a long time to protect the safety here, the number of ships is about twenty, this time Zheng Hongkui is ready to send the whole ship, after all, the other party is a ship the size of a hill.
The whole ship can not only deter the other party, but also boost the morale of its own side, naturally there are only benefits and no harms.
The twenty wooden battleships headed towards the place of the incident, and two hours later, the Perfect saw the Zheng family fleet, and the Perfect had not yet launched an attack, and the other party was the first to start firing after it was within the range of its own artillery fire.
This made Sun Yang very surprised, he didn't expect to start a war without saying a word, this is too much to say.
Since the other party wants to fight, then they can only fight, and Sun Yang ordered all the staff to fire and counterattack.
With the power of the recoilless guns on the Perfect, it can almost accurately hit the opponent's target, and in addition to the shoulder-mounted bazooka, the alignment is a press and bang, and I saw that one of the opponent's ships was hit, and suddenly the sail on the mast fell.
The Perfect is equipped with thirty guns without a backbench, and the area covered by the shells fired at the same time is very scary, even if it does not hit the Zheng family ship and explode, it will cause some damage to the wooden structure of the ship.
The battle lasted for half an hour, and five of the opposing warships were hit, and suddenly the flames were bursting into flames, and heart-rending shouts were heard.
Fighting more and more, Zheng Hongkui also found that something was wrong, although the other party was a ship, but the material of the hull was made of steel, and the shells could not work at all, so it was only himself who could suffer if he continued to lose, so he quickly gave the order to retreat.
Although judging from the movements of the opposing ships, there was a sense of covering the retreat of the command ship, but the Perfect did not rush to sink them, but watched them withdraw from its sight.
This battle can be said to have been won, and the next thing is to see if the Zheng family is willing to come out for peace talks.
