Chapter XXXVII

In the wind and rain, a lonely small steamer sailed slowly on the undulating sea, this kind of small steamship of several hundred tons can almost be said to be the most commercial ships in the South China Sea now, after all, those giant ships of tens of thousands of tons are not at all something that small businessmen can afford.

The owner of the ship, Ye Anping, looked behind him from time to time worriedly, and even the dozen or so sailors on the ship looked nervous one by one, and a few of them were still holding the stout ** Nine Rings Mauser.

"Hurry back to the cabin and hide, what kind of fun are you a girl!" He looked at his daughter Ye Zi, who was holding a Colt revolver, and suddenly came out from behind him, and roared.

Taiwan is not the mainland, especially for those like them who run the sea, the women in the family can basically be men, and they are not like those sour talents, so naturally they will not engage in such a strange activity as foot binding.

Ye Zi pursed his lips, and before he could speak, he saw more than a dozen sailboats suddenly appearing on the sea in the wind and rain in the distance.

"Pirates!" One of the sailors exclaimed, and all the sailors with guns were quickly ready for battle, and even those who had no guns took out their spears, broadswords, and other weapons, and one guy even carried a pair of bows and arrows.

"If you don't want to come out, you have to follow, remember it later, and don't die in their hands." Ye Anping yelled at his daughter hatefully, he is just this daughter, and the family business will have to be handed over to her in the future, so he took him to the sea to get acquainted with it.

His ship specializes in running the Saigon route, transporting camphor and tea from Taiwan, and transporting kerosene and some Western luxury goods from Saigon back, although the competition is fierce, but it can still be maintained, but in the face of pirates, it will be a vain, this trip is obviously not very lucky, if it is a Chinese pirate, you can talk about friendship, take some protection money to send it over, to be honest, since Ye Anping is doing this job, it is naturally impossible to hook up with the pirates, but these Luzon monkeys do not have this friendship.

It didn't take long for the two sides to close to a distance of several hundred meters, and those black monkeys on the opposite side were like wild dogs, waving mixed hot and cold weapons in their hands, and rushed up one by one howling, and more than a dozen ships at least more than 200 people came over in three pieces, and the chaotic gunfire that had just approached 300 meters had already sounded, and an careless sailor fell down with a scream.

"Shoot!" Ye Anping didn't care about it anymore, the nine Mauser in his hand aimed at a pirate and fired, the undulating sea, an amateur gunner like him wanted to hit the target naturally all by luck, and he didn't even shoot two shots.

The guns of the pirates on the opposite side retaliated more intensively, they had at least fifty spears, although the marksmanship was also stinky, but the number was enough to suppress Ye Anping's six Mausers, and soon there was another sailor on the small steamer with a gun, although he also knocked down a pirate, but it had no impact on the overall situation, and the small steamer that was desperately accelerating with the smoke was still about to be overtaken.

"Bring two barrels of kerosene." Ye Zi suddenly shouted at a sailor.

The sailor was stunned for a moment, but quickly ran to the hold and brought out a barrel of fifty pounds of kerosene.

"Push it down!" Ye Zi then shouted.

Ye Anping suddenly came to his senses, grabbed the oil drum to see the course of the pirate ship behind him and threw it down, and then saw his daughter raise her hand is a messy gun, and the kerosene barrel floating on the sea surface sparks, at the same time, several other gunmen also reacted, and they aimed at the oil drum, after a burst of gunfire, there was a sudden flash of fire on the sea, and then there was a bang, a huge fire ball suddenly exploded, and a pirate ship that happened to pass by was immediately engulfed in flames, and the pirates on the ship with fire on their bodies screamed and jumped into the sea one by one to escape.

"Again, get a few more buckets!" Ye Anping shouted excitedly.

Barrels of kerosene were quickly brought out and thrown down one by one like mines, and then the guns exploded, and soon another pirate ship that could not dodge was attacked, but unfortunately this also angered the pirates, and they soon found that such tactics were useless against the pirate ships outflanked on both sides, and all the remaining pirate ships immediately split into two ways, avoiding the stern of the small steamer from both sides.

At this time, Ziye Anping was also dumbfounded.

"Open the oil drum and pour it down when they come up." Ye Zi was obviously more ferocious than his father, and at this time, the sailors were already very convinced of their eighteen-year-old eldest lady, and the barrels of kerosene lids were opened and placed on the decks on both sides, and then two large barrels of fiery red carbon blocks taken out of the hearth were also placed on the deck, and everyone was lying on the deck and waiting carefully.

Soon the first pirate ship landed on the steamer and hooked the hull with a flying catch, and the blood-eyed pirates began to play their old gang jumping tricks.

"Pour oil!" Ye Zi shouted, casually pushed down the oil drum in front of her, and poured all the kerosene from the sky onto the pirate ship below, and then she pushed the oil drum down.

"Throw the fire!" At her father's command, spoonfuls of burning carbon were poured down by the sailors in charge of the work, and in the light rain the flames on the side of the ship were seen to rise, and the pirates, who had just climbed halfway up, were immediately engulfed in flames, followed by a series of desperate screams.

Even a sailor who couldn't dodge was burned in the face by the sudden flames rising below, and rolled on the deck screaming with his eyes covered, of course no one cared about him, and who cared about anything else at this time.

This trick was so ruthless that the approaching pirates obviously hesitated, they just wanted to get rich, but they didn't expect to bite a hedgehog, and prick their mouths before they could eat the meat.

However, these pirates were accustomed to licking blood from the knife after all, and after a little hesitation, they continued to surround them, and at this time they also learned wisely, and a few cunning ones climbed up the mast one after another, and shot at the ship condescendingly.

In this way, the people on the small steamer were completely out of luck, and soon the two sailors were shot one after another, and as for which oil barrels, no one dared to touch them, if these pirates were not for the cargo on the ship, at this time concentrated on shooting these oil barrels, maybe the ship was finished.

"Kid, Daddy has sent you a step first!" Looking at the pirates who had emerged from the side of the ship, Ye Anping gritted his teeth and aimed his gun at his daughter, after running the ship all his life, he naturally knew what would happen to women falling into the hands of these guys.

Ye Zi didn't look at his father, but looked at him in amazement, and directly behind him, a huge black bat suddenly emerged from the pitch-black clouds.

"What's that?" She screamed stupidly.

Ye Anping was also stunned, looking at the monster approaching at high speed on the sea, the finger that had already hooked the trigger was released suddenly.

At this moment, a slight fire suddenly appeared on the black monster's body, and then a dense whistling sound broke through the air, and more than a dozen pirate ships gathered on both sides were overwhelmed by countless explosions of fire in an instant, and even a few shells hit the small fire wheel, so frightened that Ye Anping hurriedly pressed his daughter down, and then he watched the two pirates who had just climbed onto the ship, almost at the same time, half of their bodies turned into a blood mist and disappeared, and a huge fire ball exploded in the air on the starboard side.

The sound of the explosion did not last long, it stopped in a blink of an eye, Ye Anping's father and daughter raised their heads tremblingly, and then looked at the dozen or so pirate ships and hundreds of pirates below, which had disappeared at this time, and there were countless burning pieces of wood on the sea, broken sails, and even fragments of human bodies, rippling in the blood-red water, and the only thing that was still complete was the two halves on the deck.

Although Ye Zi is very strong, she is a little girl after all, looking at the scene in front of her, she couldn't help but run to the side of the boat with a white face and vomited, but when she lowered her head, she vomited even more, and the side of the boat was full of flesh and blood human body fragments, which were pasted on the hull like mud.

"Little beauty, is this how you welcome your savior?" A male duck's throat suddenly sounded in the silence, and Ye Zi, who was spitting out, raised his head with difficulty, and then saw that the huge black bat was opposite him, and a fake foreign devil was looking at him with gloating eyes.

Ye Zigang wanted to speak, watching him his orchid fingers and pinch his handkerchief to cover his nose, he couldn't help but churn in his stomach, and he threw up again when he lowered his head.

Playing open-air field battles with his sister in Caiyi, Boss Yang, who unfortunately had a cold and had not yet recovered, was very hurt and left this little girl with an excellent figure, and turned his head to talk to the middle-aged man next to her.

However, Ye Anping's dialect made him almost unable to understand a word, but fortunately, at this time, Sister Caiyi came out of the cabin, and there was no difficulty in communicating with these people, and after saying a few words, she suddenly smiled and said, "Childe, he understands French."

This is simple, Yang Feng immediately talked to Ye Anping in French, and soon knew that they were a Taiwanese merchant ship, which was returning to Dagou Port, and unfortunately encountered pirates on the way, for which Ye Anping was naturally grateful to Yang Feng.

"It's not a big deal, it's just a gesture, and I just happen to be going to Dog Harbor, so let's just go together." Yang Feng said in the puzzled gaze of his sister in Caiyi that they were originally going to Hong Kong.

But when she looked at the little girl who was squatting on the deck and vomited and was about to collapse, and then thinking about her master's ** character, the sister in colorful clothes couldn't help but laugh.

But at this point, she really misunderstood Yang Feng, although Boss Yang is known as a demon in the sex, but he is not interested in a girl who is vomiting, he suddenly thought that it is not bad for him to go to Taiwan in advance to build a stronghold, in this kind of Tiangao Emperor far away, as long as he sells the local officials, it is estimated that he is not too much of a problem to lease land.

At this time, the governor of Taiwan seems to be Shao Youlian, and he is also an old friend of Xue Fucheng, first take the old Xue Tou to climb the relationship, and then stuff 10,000 pieces of silver, build a training base for Ambrera Company, and build a wharf for Yang's Shipping, which is estimated to be a matter of one sentence.
