Chapter 82: The Voice of the Great Thief (4)

"Zheng Xiu? Who is Jung so? ”

Tang Ruola was stunned.

The soldier who reported the message was also unclear, and only retained: "This is the daughter of a great pirate." ”

Tang Ruola's face wrinkled, he muttered a few words, drank the fresh green tea in the cup, and then said, "Take me to Sir Alex." ”

Alex Becky, one of the highest-ranking stewards sent by the East India Company, graduated from Eton College, a member of the House of Commons, a former senior secretary to the Governor of Hasting, and a brigadier general of the British Navy.

And when Don Ruola saw Sir Alex, she was startled by the eyes of this tough young man who had just turned thirty.

"Lord Bishop, there is one thing I must inform you of."

"The coalition of the South Sea pirates is approaching, and the vanguard may even encounter it directly, I already know ......"

Tang Ruola nodded.

"Yes...... Another thing. ”

Alex spoke in a strange tone and handed over the delicate parchment in his hand.

Tang Ruola swept aimlessly over her palm, her pupils contracted suddenly, and the old age spots on her face trembled.

One of the best tacticians in the history of Europa, under the command of His Majesty Napoleon Bonaparte, the Emperor of France, AndrΓ©, known as the "son of victory", led 70,000 French troops to the eastern Portuguese city of Almeida, and the most combat-effective in Portugal was only an English reinforcement of less than 20,000 people......

"Bishop Don Ruola, what do you think?"

Sir Alex asked.

Tang Ruola replied with difficulty: "I think that if the situation in the Far East is deadlocked, maybe we can consider ......"

"Then don't let him get bogged down, we need a quick fight."

Alex tightened his fists: "It is precisely because of the tense situation that we have to ensure the interests of the Far East, when we hear the news, the war may have started, this is not our intervention, but the huge interests are just around the corner, Lord Bishop, we are only one step away from success." ”

Bishop Tang Ruola was speechless for a long time, and he didn't know how long it took before he nodded lightly: "I, I understand. ”

……

More than 50 English warships were finally defeated, and only 22 escaped, and the rest were either sunk by artillery or wiped out by the pirates of the Red Cai coalition in the broadside battle, and even the ships and men were captured.

"The first battle was won, and the Red Flag Gang was mighty, and I saw it today."

On the deck, Cai Lian and Li Yan stood side by side, he was wearing a long horse coat with purple background and yellow lines, and his words were half compliments and half amazements.

A few days ago, the Portuguese Grand Prosecutor Barros led a team to tear through the defense line of the government, and 70,000 people on both sides clashed at sea, and the government sailors collapsed at the touch of a button, with more than 10,000 casualties, and the loss of the Portuguese was an incredible ten-digit number!

It was also this battle that made the generals of the navy of the government completely see that today's officers and troops are far from being the opponents of these tigers and wolves who came from afar, so they contracted the defense line, gave up the naval battle, and defended according to the danger, but unfortunately, in the end, they could not return to the sky.

Today, the red-haired sailors who were blown into demons by the officers and soldiers suddenly tasted defeat, and the loss of more than 1,000 sailors was still in the hands of a group of pirates.

Previously, Cai Lian had tried his best to evaluate the courage of the Red Flag Pirates and the sophistication of their ships and artillery, but now, he still underestimated others. Considering that Tianbaozai has served as the leader of the Red Flag for less than a month, the solidity of this foundation has to be credited to the late Empress Doom.

After this battle, Cai Lian couldn't help but sigh, although today's Tianbaozai is brave and unmatched, it can be called a thousand people, but after a naval battle, he is weird and disgusted, and it is even more fearful to make a shot that can make a hundred miles full of red water.

Thinking of the years when this woman was still alive, the other four banners were also willing to hibernate. The Five Flags Alliance is indeed the biggest fist in the entire South Seas. Significantly one level higher than the other four pirates.

But those days are gone......

Li Yan shook his head when he heard Cai Lian's praise: "The manpower is several times that of the opponent, the boat is a little worse, not to the sky, and the red hair is not three heads and six arms, this can't be won, just wipe your neck." What's more, the loss of manpower on our ships is twice as high as that of our opponents, and there is nothing to boast about. ”

Li Yan calculated in his heart that in this appetizing battle alone, the loss of the Red Cai coalition army was converted into silver, which was about 300,000 taels, which was enough for him and Zha Xiaodao combined, and they could only get by fighting life and death......

The Lingyun Treasure Tree supported by the trees is such a pattern.

Thinking of this, Li Yan picked up a sailor's one-eyed musket, slammed a shot, stared at the hole in the grass target, and estimated in his heart: "The power of Sudu's feathers is limited, and there is carved snow on his body, but it is not in the way." ”

Cai Lian smiled: "By the way, Tianbao Dragon, after this encounter, there are about four or five hundred prisoners, how are you going to settle them?" ”

Li Yan's eyes rolled and he snorted: "The battle is tight, and there is no time to guard against them, these tickets are piercing again, so they simply cut their throats and threw them into the sea." Save the hassle. β€œ

Cai Lian was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly dissuaded: "Killing these foreigners like this will not only arouse the indignation of the other party, but also be too cruel, leave them behind, wait for the victory of the Anglo-Portuguese alliance, and let them spend money to ransom them, wouldn't it be better?" ”

"Cruel? When the red fur stabbed my brother, wasn't he cruel? This time, Boss Cai's people just beat the side drums, which is naturally easy, but my Hongqi brothers lost more than 2,000 people, if they don't kill them, will they still stay for the New Year? As for redemption. You know that we will win the war, and it will not be your brother who will cause trouble among these sailors. ”

Cai Lian took off his melon skin hat and pulled his hair, shook his head with a wry smile: "Brother Tianbao, it's not the first time that you and I have dealt with each other, why do you come up with this face to talk about business again?" Let's put it bluntly, this counteroffensive, I have more than seventy percent certainty that I can win, the bizarre story of the prisoners breaking the prison and making trouble, there is no need to rap, I want Tianbaozai to make a promise, open the face of the surrendered red wool net, and send me all the prisoners of this Nanyang War. ”

"Oh, my brother has shed blood, and you told me to give you captive...... Besides, the other leaders of Qu Shuai may not agree, right? ”

In this counteroffensive, the officials of the pirate leaders were called to imitate the system of the 36 commanders of the Yellow Turban Uprising, and the five pirate leaders were named the five major commanders.

Of course, it's just a title, and you can't really do it.

"How much money do you want to ransom for silver, Brother Tianbao, you can make a price."

"Hehe, I bought it from me and sold it to the red hair. also earned friendships, and Boss Cai did a good business. ”

"It's not easy for you to wait for this business, is it?"

"Silver, I'm not rare, the need for red flags was also mentioned on Ryukyu Island at the beginning. Boss Cai's words really embarrassed me. ”

Li Yan narrowed his eyes: "I really have something that I want Boss Cai to help." ”

"Please."

"In Lin Ajin's hands, how did the Quanlang Sea Ghost refine it?"

Cai Lian frowned when he heard this: "The skill of Quanlang is rare, and it is the secret of the surname Lin." It's like the Chu Fu in the hands of the disgusted aunt, and the Taiping Wenshu in the hands of Zhang He, I can't get it, and the appetite of the Tianbao dragon head is too big. ”

"This is strange, Gaoli ghost, Quanlang is a set, his Lin surname is only Quanlang seed, where did Ao Xing get the refining method of our Five Banner Alliance Gaoli ghost?"

Cai Yan returned: "It seems that it was the original Black Flag civil strife, and Lin Ajin got it from a confidant of Guo Po." Of course, I'm also hearsay. ”

Li Yan immediately said: "That's it, forget the method." You negotiate with the Lin family, I want the Lin family to give me a red flag and refine a Quanlang sea ghost to come out! That's all right. ”

"I do my best."

"Then I'll just wait for Boss Cai's good news."

The two of them looked at each other and said nothing, and the vast fleet of soldiers and one place, the front of the soldiers pointed directly at Guangzhou Bay. Unexpectedly, on the sea surface of the sky, countless black masts protruded, the waves rolled, and the imposing black three-masted sailing fleet, entangled with a large number of silver Vasco warships, was quietly waiting for the arrival of the Red Cai Alliance......
