Previously, these pirates had besieged merchant ships and rushed forward with few casualties, carrying out a one-sided massacre of the sailors on the merchant ships. www.biquge.info Now Yang Guang's fleet joined the battle, crushing these pirates with the Five Peaks Gun and Napoleonic cannons, and they were powerless to fight back.

Watching his men fall one by one with a scream, where did the pirate leader still have the arrogance of no one in his eyes before, he shouted loudly and threatened, but he didn't know that the tremor in his voice had already exposed his inner fear: "You guys really, really want to ...... with the Dragon King of the Three Seas"

Before he could finish his sentence, the pirate leader saw a dazzling burst of fire from the ship opposite, and in a low whistling sound, a lead bullet with flames burning on the surface crashed into his chest.

The pirate leader only felt as if he had been smashed with a heavy hammer, and his whole body suddenly became very light and light, and he did not know when he was lying on the deck. He heard the cries of his subordinates crying for mercy, and slowly stopped breathing with doubt: "Which ship's ship is this, and the artillery is on par with the Franc machine?" ”

Looking at the pirates who were raising their short knives in both hands and kneeling on the boat and begging for mercy loudly, Ye Zongman asked Yang Guang, "Do you want to spare their lives and take them back to do hard labor?" Or did you kill all Liwei on the spot? ”

Ye Zongman's problem is not entirely limited to the handling of the matter in front of him, but also related to Yang Guang's attitude towards pirates in the future. Yang Guang thought very cautiously for a while, and then replied: "The murderer has to pay for his life, and the rest will be brought back to do hard labor." With a limit of 10 years, the time can be appropriately shortened for those who work hard. ”

After receiving the order from the rear, the sailors on the ship in front stopped their attack, shouted loudly for the pirates to drop their weapons and kneel, and slowly leaned over the ship to count the prisoners.

In the previous battle, the fierce pirates were basically killed, and there may be a few people who are unwilling to be captured, but after being pointed at by the five peaks, the only courage they have quickly dissipated. Regardless of whether it can be beaten, even if it can really grab the ship, can it still outrun the artillery on this endless sea?

After a simple screening, all the pirates who killed people when they plundered merchant ships just now were pulled out and executed, and the remaining pirates inevitably had the sad feeling of a rabbit and a fox in their hearts, but it was more of a kind of luck that a dead friend would not die and be poor, and since he could live, no one would resist.

The people who had barely retreated into the cabin walked to the bow of the ship again, and after watching Ye Zongman's men finish off these pirates like lions fighting rabbits, the man in brocade clothes suddenly moved his mind.

Seeing that Ye Zongman drove the pirate captives to the ship and was about to leave, the man in brocade suddenly shouted loudly: "Be gracious and slow, don't thank you for your kindness, please allow me to thank you in person!" ”

After speaking, the man in brocade ordered his subordinates to prepare a boat, and the leader of the guards around him was startled, and hurriedly lowered his voice and said: "Young Master Liu, if they have other ideas, it is not appropriate for you to go to the danger in person!" ”

The brocade-clothed man smiled slightly, and replied: "You see that those pirates have been defeated in three or five strokes, and there are artillery on other people's ships, if I really have any thoughts, does it make a difference whether I go or not?" ”

The leader of the guards was speechless for a moment, but quickly said, "Okay, I'll accompany you personally, if so...... Step over my corpse first. ”

Yang Guang and Ye Zongman came to help, not to reciprocate, but to simply watch the pirates disrupt the order and be dissatisfied. As for the man in brocade saying to thank him in person or something, Yang Guang didn't take it to heart at all, but just estimated that the other party must have something to say, anyway, the fight against pirates has been delayed for a lot of time, and it doesn't matter if you listen to a few more words.

After the brocade-clothed man and the leader of the guards waited for Mount Tai, several sailors simply checked it and let it go, without even taking away the swords on the leader of the guards.

"I've seen Engong in Xia Liujin." The brocade-clothed man bowed to Yang Guang, who was standing at the bow of the boat, and said, "Thank you for your righteous action, otherwise we will all become tombless ghosts!" ”

"It's not enough to raise your hands." Yang Guang comforted the brocade-clothed man Liu Jin with kind words and said: "This sea is vast and turbulent, in addition to the danger of heaven and earth, there is also the danger of people's hearts, Liu Gongzi will have to bring more guards next time he goes to sea." ”

Hearing Yang Guang say this, Liu Jin sighed helplessly, after the imperial court killed Wang Zhi, the power of the Wufeng shipowner was split, and it was no longer possible to ensure the order of the sea as before, which made the risk of going to sea increase dramatically every time. No matter how many guards you bring, can you outnumber pirates?

In addition, the imperial court strengthened the ban on the sea, which also greatly restricted the shipment and purchase, which increased the cost of maritime trade in disguise and greatly increased the threshold for engaging in this industry.

Wealthy families with deep backgrounds, wide connections and strong funds do not care about this change, but take advantage of the change to make it easier to monopolize certain goods. A small businessman like Liu Jin has become a rat that burrows into the bellows, neither advancing nor retreating, and can only barely maintain business.

Yang Guang saw the embarrassment on Liu Jin's face, so he asked casually, and the latter did not hide it, and kept telling the current situation of himself and other businessmen with similar environments.

Liu Jin was talking, his mind was also spinning rapidly, he didn't know the ins and outs of Yang Guang's forces, but he could be equipped with a large number of muskets, and there were cannons on every ship, obviously it couldn't be an ordinary merchant ship.

The Ming Dynasty did not rely on the naval army, but on the land blockade, and the naval army of the imperial court did not have such armaments, let alone rescue people when the pirates plundered, so Liu Jin first ruled out this possibility. As for Yang Guang, he did not hesitate to kill Xu Weixue's men. It also shows that he has nothing to do with this new ocean tycoon or is even hostile, so it may be Wang Cao's subordinate.

When he thought of this, Liu Jin's description of the language began to deliberately move closer to Wang Zhi, occasionally adding a few words to the sentence introducing the current situation, indicating his remembrance of the order established when the Wufeng shipowner was still alive. Liu Jin was a bit risky in doing this, if Yang Guang and the Wufeng Ship Owner were enemies, he would probably not be able to eat and walk away.

Yang Guang and Wang Zhi have no feelings, and they only think that the order established by the latter is okay but not ideal, so they naturally have no feelings about Liu Jin's words, but the people around Yang Guang were all Wang Zhi's subordinates back then, and when they heard a strange businessman praise the old master, they would more or less react, and Liu Jin, who was observant of words and expressions, looked at it in his eyes.

"I don't know if Eun Gong is going to Japan on this trip?" After Liu Jin got this information, he decided to take another risk, so he gritted his teeth and said: "The sailors have suffered great losses when they get off the ship, I don't know if they can go with Engong's fleet?" As before, I will pay a tenth of the goods as a payment. (To be continued.) )
