The sea is vast.

Chen Zuyi left his lair and appeared in Dawan, which was not an opportunity for Daming. Only the tiger in the deep mountains has the deterrent power, but if it goes down to the plain, without the shelter of the mountains and forests, a burst of crossbows will be killed. The same is true of Chen Zuyi, a South Sea shark.

Regarding the pursuit and killing of Chen Zuyi, Tang He and Zhu Su naturally did their best. Tang He was in order to build the lintel of Guangmen, and Zhu Su was ordered by Lao Zhu to completely occupy the Nanyang sea route and cut off the road from the west to the east. Tang He ordered the coastal sailors to intercept it, and Zhu Su naturally urged the Nanyang sailors to chase after this gang of thieves.

There was a shortage of generals in the Daming Naval Division, and most of the battleships of the Nanyang Naval Division were new-type gunboats, and apart from Li Jinglong, the only generals with command experience were Zhu Su himself. It was Zhu Su who sent Chang Mao to pursue this group of thieves, and took Li Jinglong as his lieutenant. Now, the two have received a report from the Quanzhou Navy Division and confirmed that Chen Zuyi's fleet is not far ahead.

As soon as he got the news, Li Jinglong couldn't sit still, and drove the treasure ship that had experienced a hundred battles with him, left Chang Mao's team, and sailed straight over.

"Little grandfather, if this battle is lost again, my Cao Guo Mansion will have no shame to face Your Majesty and His Royal Highness again." By Li Jinglong's side, the steward Li Gui was quite worried. "Why don't you meet Zheng Guogong's team first, and then think about it......"

"Chen Zuyi's thief is so cunning, if he meets Zheng Guogong, he doesn't know where to flee." Li Jinglong shook his head, but there was a ruthlessness in his eyes. “…… Besides, if this credit is also given to the Zheng Guo Mansion, where will we put the face of the Cao Guo Mansion? ”

"Besides......" Li Jinglong mysteriously pulled Li Gui closer and said to him, "I heard a message from the mouths of those White Lotus Sect captives. ”

"The leader of the White Lotus Sect surnamed Fu is in his hands...... There is gold! ”

"Gold?" Li Gui was also eye-catching.

"It was said that the gold mining ship of that guy Xiyi was taken captive by that guy." Li Jinglong said. Speaking of gold, the pupils in both of his eyes dilated, and his breathing became heavier. "Why are you so anxious about me?"

"If we can rob this gold, our Cao Guo Mansion will ......"

The previous defeats destroyed the Danjiang Port, which was vigorously operated by the Cao State Mansion, not to mention the many shells that hit the sea and became the life talisman of the Cao State Mansion's treasury...... There may still be a chance to win the merits of the war, but now that His Majesty strictly forbids the nobles to oppress the people, how can there be so many ways to get these gold and silver back?

In order to make up for the shortfall, Li Jinglong can be said to have broken his heart. Now that there is such news, how can you not be the first.

"But......" Li Gui's heart was also pounding, but when he thought of this little grandfather's ability, he still felt very worried. Little grandfather, even so, we should be careful. ”

"In case this stealing chicken doesn't make ......"

"I know." Li Jinglong nodded, and then blinked rather slyly: "I only bombarded him with artillery from a distance, this is all right?" ”

"The left and right fleets are now under the name of the Zheng Guo Mansion...... The Ministry of War and the Baoyuan Bureau are going to ask for the cost of this cannonball, and they have to ask the Chang family to ......."

"Hahahaha!"

Li Jinglong smiled heartily, if he didn't have to worry about the cost of shells, what else could he worry about when he started a naval battle? The corners of Li Gui's mouth twitched, and he was quite embarrassed by such a scoundrel as the little grandfather. But he also occupied the mountain and was the king of the mountain in the past, and this shame only turned around in his heart, and then he was thrown out of the clouds.

Also, if you don't have to worry about the consumption of cannonballs, and only stop at a distance to fight an artillery battle, who can be the opponent of the Daming treasure ship?

He was relieved.

Li Jinglong cleaved the waves all the way, and followed the path pointed out by the officers and soldiers of the Quanzhou Navy Division. Facts have proved that people's luck is always better than other times when they are at the end of the road, and under the stimulation of gold, Li Jinglong, who has been so poor that his eyes are red, actually found Chen Zuyi's fleet, and in the lookout, Li Jinglong saw the sails of Chen Zuyi's ship in front of him.

"Quick, full sails! The thieves are ahead! Little Master Li shouted loudly in a hurry, and the whole person chased to the deck, as if he could catch up with the thief in front of him quickly with a pair of feet.

Ahead, Chen Zuyi also saw the figure of the Ming army's treasure ship through the lookout. He was already a frightened bird, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly said to Fu Pu: "Quick, Brother Fu! ”

"Let your people go and stop this group of Ming army ships!"

Fu Puxin gave the order according to his words, and the order was transmitted to Geng Datou. Geng Datou on the rear warship responded violently, and then commanded those people to meet the warship of the Ming army.

"Quick, fire!" Li Gui said hurriedly. "Don't be close to thieves!"

The artillery on the bow of the ship fired two cannons first, and the two cannonballs leisurely crossed the two parabolas and headed towards the White Lotus Sect's ship. In fact, if you want to fight the enemy, the treasure ship should have to turn the hull sideways. After all, most of the cannons are mounted on both sides of the hull, and the probability of hitting the enemy ship is more when multiple cannon salvos are fired.

There were only two guns in the bow, and in general, they were only used for the occasion. The fire at sea is already inaccurate, and if only two guns want to hit the enemy ship in the vast sea waves, the probability can be said to be one in a thousand miles.

The same is true of these two shells, although the ship's artillery is also trained, but these two shells flew out and could be seen to be some distance away before they fell into the sea. The ship's helmsmen are ready to turn the rudder and cross the ship.

Unexpectedly, the thief ship suddenly turned around, and just happened to meet the smashed cannonball.

"This?" The helmsman was stupid, and the artillerymen were stupid. In this world, there are still thieves who meet themselves with cannonballs? Only the little grandfather Li Jinglong was overjoyed when he saw this, and the thief ship that had been hit by the cannon had already begun to flee, that is to say, he didn't have to waste time fighting the enemy, and he continued to order: "Hurry! Fast! Catch up! Don't let this thief escape! ”

Over there, Fu Puxin rescued Geng Datou, who returned for help.

"Brother Geng, you ......" Fu Puxin's face was very ugly. Why did you still meet the shells of the Ming army yourself? ”

"Shopkeeper, this. Ay! Geng Datou's fat face looked very annoyed. He gritted his teeth hatefully: "It's not those people who shake the oars, they can't be used!" ”

"When training on weekdays, they also look the same, but as soon as the Ming army's shells came, they were in a mess."

"No, the ship was out of balance for a while, and it happened to hit the Ming people's cannonball, and seeing that the ship was damaged, it would not be long before it sank in the sea, so I had no choice but to take my brothers back to change ships."
