Chapter 194: The Unlucky Pirate

Francie and Jimmy were the captains of these two armed merchant ships, and it would be more accurate to say that they were pirate ships than merchant ships.

The goods on their ships were all looted, and they were still stained with the blood of the Ming merchants. This time, they planned to go north to the Wa Kingdom and rob the ships that were there to transport silver to the Ming Dynasty.

They succeeded several times on the way, and although they did not get silver, they did get a large amount of raw silk, porcelain, and other goods.

With these goods, they were able to exchange enough silver for the Wakoku, and they were hit by a hurricane before they could reach the Nagasaki trading port.

Seriously off course, they drifted to Jeju Island, where they were treated like VIPs. Not to mention the daily wine and food, there are also beautiful Korean women who sleep in the bed.

This time of hospitality made them all forget the fact that they were a group of pirates, and on Jeju Island they began to pretend to be gentlemen.

It was only when they finally learned that someone was going to hire them to raid a thriving trading port that they remembered their profession. At first, they also stated that they were gentlemen and could not raid ports.

When he heard that each person could be paid 50,000 taels of silver, this guy immediately turned into a different face.

They set sail for Changsheng Island in a hurry, and all they thought about along the way was the scenery after getting this silver, and they didn't consider the possibility of failure at all.

The battle in Penghu has already made them clear about the combat power of the Ming Dynasty, a larger native. Not to mention a small island, even if they let them attack the Jingshi of the Ming Dynasty, these two goods dare to go.

It's still okay to run away if you can't get on the boat, as long as they are on the boat, Da Ming has no power to hurt them.

So they came to the sea area of Changsheng Island with 100,000 confidence, and they had just entered the inland sea of the Ming Dynasty when they encountered two strange sea ships.

This is because both of these ships use Western-style soft sails, and the sides of the ships are very low, almost sticking to the sea. The bow of the ship is so sharp that it can cleave the waves through it every time.

What surprised them the most was the speed of the two sea boats, which approached within two miles in a small effort.

Then one of the ships made a graceful arc on the surface of the sea and turned around and sailed into the distance.

The rest of the boat kept moving around them, always keeping a distance of two miles from them. There were also people on the boat who kept shouting with a big iron horn, "You have entered the territorial waters of Changsheng Island, now stop the ship immediately for inspection, otherwise you will be killed!" ”

Jimmy was annoyed by the shouting over and over again, and although he couldn't understand what the strange junk was shouting, it was certainly not complimenting them.

He immediately returned to his ship and ordered the artillery deck to open fire at once to drive away the annoying ship.

The sailors on the artillery deck were also bored during this time, and they used the exorcism of the strange junk ships as a training in shelling live ammunition.

When the ship reached their side again, the porthole on Jimmy's side opened, and the nine guns roared.

From time to time, shells were fired from Jimmy's ship and hit the ships in the distance, and two miles was a bit far for Jimmy's ships with only 12 pounds of gun.

Their firing shot did not hit the target, but the ship suddenly accelerated and quickly escaped two miles, keeping a distance of four miles from them.

When Franger saw Jimmy fire first, he couldn't help but curse at his own boat. The forces that can build such a fast ship are simply not something the two of them can afford to provoke, and one of the boats has already left just now, so it must be to call for reinforcements.

I'm still talking about how to explain to the other side about the invasion of the other party's territorial waters, and now Jimmy's idiot has opened fire, and that's war.

Just as Francger was nervous and Jimmy was laughing arrogantly, a shadow of a sail appeared on the sea. The first thing that caught Frankger's eye were two 500-ton battleships, yes, battleships.

Completely different from them, which only had one gun deck, it was a real battleship with a double gun deck. As long as there is one, they can easily sink the two of them, let alone two at once.

When he got a good look at a battleship, Franger's eyes widened. What did he see? It was the most advanced and powerful Amsterdam in the whole of East Asia.

Didn't the ship get wrecked in the storm? How did you end up here? The thought that the Amsterdam might be captured by the enemy sent a chill to his back.

Jimmy was dumbfounded, and he opened his mouth wide to point to the shadows of the sails that kept appearing in the distance. One by two, until ten appeared.

What's the situation? Did he get to the Strait of Gibraltar in Europe? How could so many warships appear here?

At this moment, he realized that he seemed to have fired at the forces of these warships just now. He regretted it and wanted to slap his mouth, why was he so blind? Will he be able to return to Europe alive if he offends such a force?

The battle ended before it could even begin, and Francier and Jimmy decisively ordered the white flag to surrender. Their armed merchant ships could not outrun the warships at all, and their firepower was even worse than 108,000 miles. Do you not surrender and seek death?

When they were escorted to the dock of the Dragon King Temple, they realized that they actually wanted to attack such a port.

The batteries on both sides of the harbor were not something they could knock on, and there were five large Galen warships working at the same time on the slipway on one side.

None of them could afford to offend, and such a force could rival them as the Dutch.

They had to be blind to set their goal here, and now they know that the 50,000 taels of silver are too hot, and it is not easy to make money at all!

Their fate awaited them was to be sent directly to the coolie camp and work until they died. There is no shortage of instructors in the Changxing Army, and they will not let go of these evil pirates at all.

Zhang Dou led 3,000 recruits to take advantage of the night to get a little closer to the Jurchen camp in Beixinkou. During this time, the Changxing army has been holding out, and the defense of the Jurchens is very lax, and they didn't expect the Changxing army to come back and attack them.

The sneak attack went very smoothly, and the Jurchens in the camp would not notice until the Changxing army blew up the wall of the Jurchen camp. By the time the 3,000 Changxing troops rushed in, the battle was over.

Most of the Jurchens in the camp are wounded soldiers, and if it weren't for winter, it would be a stinking and sick camp.

There were no more than a thousand Jurchens who could stand up and fight back, and the other Jurchens were either taken over by Amin to dig trenches, or they were pinning down the other fortresses on Changsheng Island.

The Han military banner in the camp found out that it was the Ming army of Changsheng Island who robbed the camp and surrendered directly, so they would not fight for the Jurchens. Enough of them had died during this time, and no one had thought that the tyrannical Amin would fight to the last moment.

By the time Qin Shi's cavalry joined the battle, the Jurchens in the camp had completely collapsed. They scattered and fled, hoping to escape from the pursuit of the Ming army.

Standing on the camp of the Jurchen Beixinkou, Zhang Dou muttered: "Amin! Are you ready? ”
