Historically, when it comes to the issue of bandits, we have either talked about bandits on the basis of facts, or we have gone back to the policy of banning the sea.

In fact, if we talk about policies or even systems, the enslavement system is a structural problem that is more hidden than the maritime ban policy.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the relaxation of the Lijia system brought about the escape of various groups of people and the corresponding inability to complete the enslavement.

Faced with the financial situation of making ends meet, the Ming court had no choice but to "increase the allocation", which led to the sudden rise of local "untouchables".

Based on the fact of local instability, it became common for "untouchables" to seduce the so-called "pirates" and "pirates" in the classic texts, and then there were no more "untouchables" and all remained as "pirates as people".

Since soldiers also originate from the people, thieves and soldiers naturally transform into each other.

By the end of the Ming Dynasty, even if the Japanese had been eliminated, it was already too late for some of the local officials who had ideas to try to restore the Lijia system.

With clan blood as the bond and Mazu as the faith, driving a small boat between Jiangnan and overseas, trade and sea raids are the norm of daily life.

It is impossible to solve it until the country does not return to normalcy and the people have no way out.

Although Yang Chengying has recruited Zheng Zhilong, Shi Daxuan and other strongmen at sea, he is also wary of the forces behind them.

Zheng Zhilong's nephews Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian, Shi Daxuan's brother Shi Dafu, etc., they still live in their hometown, and they are engaged in smuggling trade as clan brothers.

These trades brought them great wealth.

At the same time, it also sows possible banes.

Therefore, as early as the beginning of Zheng Zhilong's defection to Yang Chengying, Yang Chengying arranged for Chen Bao, a native of Fujian and Zhejiang, to disguise himself as Ma Er to work under Li Kuiqi, and later followed Zhong Bin.

In fact, Ma Er does have a person. However, he died in an accident.

When Geng Zhongyu went south, he inquired about this incident and did a sufficient investigation.

When he returned, he told Gongsun Sheng, the person in charge of Qianlimu, about these things.

According to this situation, Gongsun Sheng trained Chen Bao for a year, and then sent him to Li Kuiqi's side overseas.

This lurking is as long as ten years.

During this period, there was no contact until recently.

Chen Bao killed Zhong Bin, took out the green flag, raised it and shook it.

Shi Lang saw it and shouted, "Come over quickly, that's the king's subordinates." ”

The sailor shook the oars and quickly approached the boat.

Shi Lang saw Chen Bao for the first time and was taken aback: "Why are you?" ”

"It's me, on the orders of the king, to kill the traitor." Chen Bao gave a salute, grabbed the rope thrown by the sailor, and got on Shi Lang's big ship.

Shi Lang stared at him: "What's your name?" ”

"Ma Er!" Chen Bao replied.

"It's a common name, but it's better." Shi Lang said meaningfully.

Chen Bao just smiled faintly, and his eyes returned to honesty.

The ship quickly approached the fleeing pirates, and the soldiers on board took out their bird guns and fired at them one after another.

There are countless pirates who have fallen into the sea because they have been shot.

Blood stained the blue sea red.

On the issue of dealing with the southeast, Yang Chengying's choice is simple.

That is, to unite with Zheng Zhilong, eliminate Liu Xiang, and win over Chen Xinji. At the same time, it supports relatively weak forces such as Shi Daxuan and Gan Hui, and directly attracts local figures in Fujian and Zhejiang.

In history, from the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty to the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, for such a long time, if Fu Weilin, Shi Mingliang, Chen Dianhui, Chen Rong, Cai Kai, Gao Shou, Zhu You and others were just clever calculations, then Shi Lang, Huang Wu, Chen Bao, Zhu Tiangui and others were the key figures who determined the tilt of power.

In the case that you cannot directly govern the southeast, this method is undoubtedly the best choice.

Under the guidance of this ideology, it is necessary to resolutely eliminate the members of the Liu Xiang group, otherwise it is not enough to show its might.

The Dutch are also desperately trying to escape.

They cautiously bypassed the fireboats, and fled south in the face of a hail of bullets.

Finally breaking free from the encirclement, Brower was desperate when he saw the big bird boat.

"God, I have done something wrong to deserve such punishment."

Brauvaud drew a cross on his chest and immediately ordered the fleet to rush over.

Soon, he found it unrealistic.

The traditional tactics of the big bird boat made them at a loss.

Seeing that the flotilla, which had managed to break out of the encirclement, was encircled, Brower had to make a difficult decision - surrender.

On the badly damaged mast, a white flag appeared.

"Leave it alone, shoot with all your might." Seeing this, Shi Lang said to his father.

Shi Daxuan hesitated a little: "They have already surrendered, is it against the king's order for us to attack again." ”

"The king's order is to destroy them, and my father is to obey them."

Shi Lang said categorically.

Chen Bao also said: "Shi Lang is right, hurry up and execute." ”

Hearing this, Shi Daxuan commanded the fleet to continue to storm the Dutch fleet.

"Mr. Governor, escape in a small boat."

Starman shouted, "The enemy doesn't understand the meaning of the white flag, and thinks we're giving a funeral." ”

"Nope! I am the governor, how can I escape. Brower refused.

"If we don't leave, it's too late, the enemy is going to kill us along with the pirates, and fundamentally weaken our power."

"No, if I run away at this time, I will bear the notoriety of running away, and I will have to repent for the rest of my life."

When Starman heard this, he was too anxious to do anything.

Seeing that the hull of the ship has been punched with holes large and small, it has begun to leak.

"Mr. Governor, you don't think about yourself, you should think about the future of the fleet."

Mo Kui, the interpreter, advised on the side, "Someone went back and told Admiral Van Dimen what was going on here. ”

That's when Brouwer woke up.

With Mo Kui's help, he left the flagship and fled from the sinking ship in a small boat.

The crew, who did not want to live and die with the ship, jumped into the sea one after another. Immediately they were shot at, and the shells also fell on them, and they were scattered in pieces.

Brouwer's heart was cut as he saw the tragic condition of the crew.

Before he could finish his sigh, an iron bullet landed on the bow of the boat, directly overturning the boat.

Brouwer plunged into the sea at once, and ate several mouthfuls of seawater.

Just when he thought that he was going to die.

Suddenly, a large hand grabbed him and pulled him out of the sea.

Burst!

Brouwer spat out the seawater in his mouth, wiped the seawater from his face, and turned his head to look.

It turned out that Mo Kui saved him.

Leaning on a plank floating on the sea, Mo Kui swam with Brower towards the enemy's large bird boat.

Starman saw it and tried to stop them, only to find a harpoon against his back.

"I'm from Fujian and Zhejiang, don't kill me."

Mo Kui shouted as he paddled.

"Who did you catch?" The captain of one of the big bird ships saw it and asked loudly.

"It's Browa, the governor of Batavia."

Mo Kui replied loudly.

"Oh, caught a big fish."

The captain was overjoyed and ordered the boat to be rowed over.

Seeing this, Brouwer struggled: "No, I don't want to be caught. ”

"Mr. Governor, you have a chance to live."

Mo Kui turned around and said in Dutch.

Brouwer didn't listen, struggling to break free from Mokui's hands, ready to sink himself.

His head was lower than the sea, but he was grabbed by the collar by the Liaodong sailors who arrived in time and pulled it up hard.
