Seeing that Zheng was going to be wrong, Ye Kai hurriedly said: "Big boss, they want us to surrender!" Quickly give the order to lower the flag, or they will open fire. ”

Surrender? Zheng was heartbroken, and then asked, "Can you survive if you surrender?" Can the words of officers and soldiers be believed? ”

Hearing this, Ye Kai couldn't help but choke and couldn't speak for a long time, for the officers and soldiers, their heads are credit, so many ships and people, it must be a great achievement, for this credit in hand, these officers and soldiers will push out?

"Surrender or kill!"

Suddenly there was a neat cry from the battleship blocking the way in front, and immediately after, "Surrender or kill!" came from all sides. Cheers.

Zheng Qianxin and Ye Kai couldn't help but look at each other, how could the officers and soldiers shout like this? Hearing that surrender would not be killed, the pirates also lost their mortal heart and lost their fighting spirit, and they slowly surrounded Zheng Duxin's side one by one.

Yinzhen has been watching with a telescope, and when he saw this, he ordered in a deep voice: "Raise the king's big scroll." ”

As soon as the golden dragon was raised, it immediately attracted the attention of Zheng Quanxin and other pirates, although he was not familiar with the honor guard of the imperial court, but the dragon was not something that ordinary people dared to use, Zheng Quanxin didn't have to think about it at all, and knew that this was the arrival of the fourteenth prince who created the Qing Navy.

Ye Kai seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw at this time, and said excitedly: "It's the fourteenth prince, it must be the fourteenth prince, we really have hope of picking up a life now, no matter what, the fourteenth prince doesn't lack such a little credit, right?" ”

Zheng Qian groaned slightly before he ordered: "Ye Kai." You take a small boat, fly the white flag, go to meet the fourteenth prince, probe the wind, if you see these three-masted galleons, we are willing to give them away. If you want me to do my best, it is easy to say, I just want to leave a way for my brothers to live. ”

"Boss, what are you talking about, brothers want to live together. To die together. Although Ye Kai was afraid of death, what he said was impassioned.

"You know, the court officials are not as good as the officers and soldiers, and they only pay attention to the evil." Zheng said with a light sigh and said: "The brothers and I have been for some years, and the horizontal and vertical are dead, and it is worth it to leave a way for the brothers to live." Go ahead, no matter how long you go, you won't survive. ”

Seeing a small boat waving a white flag and asking to get closer, Yinzhen couldn't help but be surprised, surrender still has to negotiate, these pirates are really full of confidence, a little groaning, he ordered: "Let them on board." ”

As soon as Ye Kai got on the boat, he was taken aback by the majestic and neat military posture of the navy, and saw that the one sitting in the center was a man dressed in a straight military uniform. The young man in his early twenties, who was expected to be the fourteenth prince, stepped forward and knelt down tremblingly: "Grass man Lu Ziming, knock on the fourteenth prince." ”

Yinzhen glanced at him casually and said, "Who are you in charge?" ”

Where did Ye Kai dare to tell the truth, and hurriedly replied: "Back to the prince, the cheap name is Zhen Laoqi." ”

Yinzhen has no impression of pirates at all. This question is both routine and temptation, and when he saw Ye Kai admit that he was a pirate, he felt strange and reasonable. How can you be cunning in every way, how can you think you are a pirate? Could it be that they had already fought against the Navy before? He raised his chin slightly, and one of the guards understood and immediately walked away quickly, and then he asked, "Why don't you surrender?" ”

After answering a few words, Ye Kai had calmed down a lot, lowered his head and replied: "Back to the prince, we are worried that after surrendering, we will still be killed." ”

Yinzhen glanced at him playfully, and then said coldly: "Hmph, do you not believe in this king, or are you guilty of a lot of sin, and you will die if you surrender?" ”

Ye Kai was frightened by these words, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Lord, there are too many examples of being killed after surrendering, we are indeed not at ease, if the prince can let us live, all the ships and food, we are willing to give them away." Hearing this, Yinzhen couldn't help but be speechless, the credit of officers and soldiers is so bad? After a long groan, he asked, "Is your ship loaded with grain?" ”

"Yes, it's all rice." Ye Kai replied cautiously.

"Where did you buy it from?"

"Bang Ba Gong of Siam."

Siam? Thailand? Yinzhen sighed slightly, how to traffic rice from Siam? Siam's specialty will not be rice, this point, he is still very clear, Siam and the Qing Dynasty trade volume is not small, trade items are mostly ivory, rhino horn, gold, jade, brocade, skin, currency, how can these pirates transport rice?

After a slight groan, Yinzhen asked with interest: "Why do you sell rice?" ”

Ye Kai had no scruples about this question, and replied briskly: "Back to the prince, we don't have much capital, and Siamese rice is cheap." ”

Cheap? Yinzhen nodded, Siam is also the land of fish and rice, he asked casually: "How much silver is a stone?" ”

"Three bucks." Ye Kai replied without thinking about it.

Yinzhen leaned forward unconsciously, and asked in a deep voice, "How much?" ”

Ye Kai didn't dare to raise his head, and repeated: "One stone of rice is three coins of silver, and the 150,000 stone of rice on our ship are all purchased at the price of three coins and one stone." ”

"Rice, not grain?" Yinzhen still asked in disbelief, the price of this grain is too low.

Seeing that Yinzhen was so interested in the rice they transported, Ye Kai had a glimmer of hope in his heart, and hurriedly affirmed: "Back to the prince, it's rice." ”

Yinzhen was so excited that he just wanted to stand up and roar twice, Siam is not far from Karopa, and it can be reached in four or five days by sea, and one stone of rice is only three coins of silver, which is four times different from Shanghai! This time, not only military food, but also the food of Australian immigrants can be imported from Siam, how much silver can be saved in this way? What's more, with food, the rapid growth of the population will not be limited, which is too important for the plan to fill the overseas feudal country with the population.

At this time, the guards who went out first walked in quickly and whispered: "This person is the second master, called Ye Kai, and the big boss is called Zheng Qianxin." ”

Zheng dedication! Zheng Duxin, who robbed Zhang Yuanlong's merchant ship in the East China Sea? Yinzhen immediately chuckled, this world is really too small, glanced at Ye Kai who was lying on the ground, he teased: "Ye Dangjia is not small, lying in front of this king, he didn't even blink his eyes, hum, it is really a deep sin, I know that I can't escape death, so I want to resist to the end, even so, this king will fulfill you." ”

As he spoke, he lightly ordered: "Order, leave no mouth alive, sink all ships." ”

As soon as he heard this, Ye Kai was so frightened that he kowtowed again and again: "The prince is slow, the court has always only punished the evil, Zheng is the family, he would rather sacrifice his head and hand over all the ships, just to leave a way for the brothers to live, and ask the prince to be gracious, they are all from poor families, and the prince is gracious." As he spoke, he kowtowed again and again, only to make a knock on the deck.
