Chapter 650: Captured
Zheng Feicai and Zheng Feifeng did not give the order to scatter and flee after all, because after a little thought, they understood that their ship was the largest and most eye-catching warship, as long as Qian Hua was not blind, he would definitely regard them as the most important target to pursue, and it would be even more difficult to escape without the cover of the rest of the warships, so it was better to keep them and maybe they could help themselves block in the melee for a while.

"General, the clippers have caught up with the enemy fleet...... General, the clipper is already parallel to the enemy fleet...... Jin Juan, the clipper has blocked the way of the enemy fleet. The lookout on the mast kept reporting the news ahead with binoculars, and after a long chase, Qian Hua finally stopped them before dark.
"Good! Warning shots first! Let them surrender immediately, or launch a general attack at once. Although the fleet of the Zheng brothers is far inferior to the Jiazhou Naval Division, the experienced captains and sailors in their fleet are a huge fortune, and it is also the best choice for him to expand the scale of the Jiazhou Naval Division, and although those battleships are not as good as the treasure ships, it is still more than enough to do some auxiliary work, and it can capture them intact and reduce the cost of building a large amount of ships.
"Yes!" Now that it was too far away from the clipper in front, the flag was useless, so the signalman immediately took out a few rockets, lit them and shot them into the sky, passing Qian Hua's order to the commander of the clipper fleet in front.
Immediately, the clipper fleet spread out in front of the Zheng brothers' fleet, blocking their way, and then firing cannons to warn, and the ships of the Zheng family's fleet had to slow down.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, a loud soldier in the flotilla climbed the mast, put a horn rolled up in iron sheets to his mouth, and shouted, "Lord Taiwei has an order, order you to drop the sail and surrender as soon as possible, Lord Taiwei can save your life, otherwise those islands in the East China Sea floating on the sea will be your fate." ”
This man is shouting upwind. The sound reached the ears of the Zheng brothers along the direction of the wind, and Zhang Fei made a dejected gesture to signal the fleet under his command to slow down; However, in Zheng Feifeng's fleet, there were captains who had never witnessed the tragic fate of Donghai Daoyi who tried to continue to escape.
Immediately, several warships of the Jiazhou Navy Division surrounded the past, and cannons, bed crossbows, and trebuchets were fired repeatedly, sinking these unknown warships under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of people; Before Zheng Feifeng and the others could recover from the shock, these battleships made another move that surprised them, and the Jiazhou sailors lowered a few small boats from the battleships, rowed next to those broken ships, and rescued the sailors who fell into the water one by one.
If the artillery fire at the beginning made them lose the courage to fight, then now the Jiazhou sailors saved people and let them see the hope of their lives, since even these non-stop guys are willing to rescue, then even if we surrender, they will not be killed, right?
"Tell them and let's discuss." Zheng Feicai commanded expressionlessly, and someone immediately got on a small boat and sailed to Qian Hua's army to inform him of the news.
Qian Hua waved his hand, and a soldier took out the incense burner, and then lit a stick of incense stick and plugged it in, "Do you see it?" I will give you a stick of incense time, let you have a good time to discuss, if you don't drop the sail after a stick of incense, you will not blame General Ben for being ruthless. ”
Now that it was almost dark, Qian Hua knew that if they were given more time, they would inevitably have the intention of escaping by the darkness of the night and would not surrender, so he would never give them this opportunity, but forced them to make a decision as soon as possible.
The people who came did not dare to delay, and immediately sent the news back to Zheng Feicai's ship, and at this time, Zheng Feifeng and some powerful figures in the fleet such as the Wang family and the Yan family also came here in a small boat, ready to discuss countermeasures, after hearing the news he brought back, Zheng Feifeng set his eyes on Zheng Feicai, "From the second brother's point of view, how should we deal with it?" ”
"Didn't you see it just now, the hundreds of warships of the East China Sea Daoyi were wiped out without even rubbing off a single hair of Qian Hua! I'm afraid we don't have enough money to eat. Zheng Feicai shook his head and smiled bitterly, "But there is a chance to win, I will not disappoint my eldest brother's expectations, and I will definitely fight to the death with that Qian Hua, but even if I start a war now, it will just be in vain." ”
The captain who followed Zheng Feicai to fight echoed, even those who stayed in the rear were not optimistic about the outcome of this battle, "If Qian Hua's warships are as powerful as those just now, we are indeed not opponents." That Lee... No, where did Jiazhou Bo find the shipbuilders who built such a powerful warship? ”
From this point of view, those reckless guys just now did a good thing, and without them, these people would not have lost the courage to fight.
"Let's not talk about this yet, let's discuss whether we should surrender or not, right?" Zheng Feicai pointed to the incense stick he had just lit, half of the incense stick had been burned, and there was not much left on Qian Hua's side.
"I don't want to fight anyway." Seeing that everyone was quiet, Zheng Feicai expressed his attitude, "I have heard for a long time that Jiazhou Bo is a benevolent and righteous person, and you must also know about escorting the first emperor back to Beijing and rescuing Ambassador Zhang in the past, and you have witnessed their rescue of the overboard sailor just now, I think if Jiazhou Bo is lowered, he will not kill us." ”
"It's always good to keep a life." One of Wang Wufeng's clansmen said that after all, no one wants to die meaninglessly like this.
"Surrender is possible, but it can't be unconditional, right? Even if we can't beat them, these ships are still worth something, right? Zheng Feifeng was still a little unwilling.
As many people put forward their opinions, almost no one was willing to die, and the only disagreement was what kind of surrender should be negotiated.
"In that case, let's put the sail down for the time being, and I'll go over and talk to Qian Hua in person." Zheng Feicai made the final decision, and then one by one the warships began to lower their sails, lower the iron anchors, and a small boat sent Zheng Feicai to Qian Hua's ship.
Li You personally received Zheng Feicai and promised to guarantee the lives and private property of all of them as long as they did not cause trouble, take them to Qiantang, and put them back after the surrender of Jiangnan Dongdao, and return some of these warships to them except for some of them that would be requisitioned according to the price.
Zheng Feicai accepted all of Li You's conditions, and led a large group of men and horses to surrender, and since then, all the sailors who thought Jiangnan Dongdao had been a barrier were captured by Li You.
