Ijik knew his old rival, and he always felt that if he had any chance of redemption, then George had already given his soul to the devil. He did the slave trade and at least guaranteed that obedient slaves would not starve to death. And George, whether he listens or not, must first kill one percent of the people to deter the slaves. In particular, Igcik clearly marked the price to let them be slaves, but George used all kinds of tricks to deceive them.

The reason why he was able to defeat George before was also because George, like many Portuguese nobles, gained wealth not to increase his strength, but to enjoy himself. At that time, Igic was not as well fed and clothed as a small merchant, so he built up this fleet and defeated George, who was greedy for pleasure and had not updated his warships or firearms for many years. That time, after defeating George, Ijik was able to endure it, and by digesting the results of the battle, he could become the slave leader of Boston.

Thinking of the benefits he had received from winning that battle, Igcik suddenly wanted to do it again. In order to obtain the weapons and equipment of the Yanhuang Trading Company, Ijik spent most of his savings. Originally, this time they were all going to come directly to rob slaves, but since they were all robbed. It is better to rob someone else's territory than to rob your old enemy. Anyway, there is already a grudge, and it doesn't make any difference if you offend again. But to rob someone else's territory is to offend a new person.

The enemy has only three battleships, and they are all frigates escorting two transports, so it is impossible for them to be the opponent of the six battleships on their side, one of which is still an opponent of the cruiser. Moreover, after figuring out the performance of the weapons that Xiao Lin sold them, he firmly believed that he would not suffer much loss by fighting an enemy of this magnitude. Having made up his mind, Igic immediately lowered his binoculars and gave orders to his close confidant, Captain Mensa.

"Now that I've met him, it's a waste of fate not to make a wave of him. The order went down, and the transport ship slowed down and cruised at the lowest speed. All six ships were in battle, and all guns began to be ready to be reloaded, and eighteen pounder guns were allowed to be used. Surround me with me, and I must not fire any ship. By the way, put down our flag and disguise it as a British warship. ”

"Yes!"

Mensa received the order and immediately returned to the stern rudder to prepare for the command. As he walked, he also used the walkie-talkies he had purchased from the Yanhuang Trading Company to inform the captains of the other five frigates. With the order, the six battleships suddenly changed from calm to noise. Everywhere there was the roar of passing orders and the sound of various sailors adjusting the state of the ship's guns, and the enemy warship was still three thousand meters away, and there was no fear that the enemy would be discovered because of the movement.

Mensa also lowered his flag early because of Izuk's reminder. When the two fleets approached a distance of a thousand meters, Igsick even asked some of the sailors to change into several sets of British military clothing that had been captured by Sholin. Although it is for the army, not the navy, it can also confuse some people. After all, it is not without people who have used naval ships to transport army fighters. The only thing that's a little strange is how there are three large transport ships hanging far behind.

It's a British affair, though. These people, who can only be regarded as Portuguese private fleets, can't guess and don't want to care. Of course, seeing that the two fleets were about to pass by, the commander of this fleet also ordered his subordinates to enter a state of alert just in case. However, there really wasn't anyone under his command who would think that there would be an attack on either side. The British have developed to the point where they are today, and they rarely do piracy or anything like that. It is necessary to do it, and it should be the fleet that transports gold and silver, and they are only transporting some slaves.

It's just that a frigate has just been on the cruiser with the Slave Emperor, the cruiser that Entrusts Igic with the dream of becoming a slave emperor, all the sailors suddenly sneered and took out their torches and lit the cannon rope. The Slave Emperor, bow and stern combined, was armed with two eighteen-pounder guns, and on both occasions there were four twelve-pounder guns and four nine-pounder guns. Under the horrified gaze of the Portuguese, a total of ten cannons fired solid shells one after another.

Idic's idea was to take out one enemy ship first, and then besiege the other two enemy ships with three other frigates. And the remaining two frigates went after the two transports. It's also possible that George's men didn't encounter any companies during this time, and they let their guard down, and ten solid shells of various sizes hit six out of ten when the two ships were only a hundred meters apart.

Don't think it's less, even in the 21st century, with all kinds of radar and fire control systems, we don't dare to guarantee a hundred shots at any distance. And the battleships and artillery of the Ijik, all of which are from the 17th century, are already lagging behind. The instability of the front-loading guns, the small size of the battleship was not enough to completely offset the fluctuations in the sea, and this hit rate was already not bad. The point is that the shells fired by the two eighteen-pounder guns hit the enemy ship. One shot made a large hole in the bow of the enemy frigate, and one hit the plywood, knocking several people away.

Together with the remaining four shells, the frigate was directly stopped. As soon as the Portuguese were attacked, they became lively, and the commander of the surviving men roared in a terrible rage for his own sailors to light the artillery ropes. However, it was too late. The remaining five frigates opened fire on the Slave Emperor, and one mended the Portuguese frigate that had been crippled by the Slave Emperor at the beginning. The most powerful thing about the frigate is the two twelve-pounder guns, which were originally impossible to achieve in one hit, but who let the enemy battleship suffer two heavy artillery shells first.

With this blow, the most damaged frigate began to enter the water and fell silent. The surviving Portuguese sailors on it did not fight one by one, and jumped directly into the sea from the inclined ship with a wail, desperately trying to get away from their own warship that was about to fall silent. Everyone knows that when the ship is silent, there will be a whirlpool in the same place. The larger the ship, the greater the pulling force of the whirlpool, and if you don't get away from it in time, people will be pulled directly into it and drowned.

The battle has been going according to the Ijik vision, and the first step has been completed. The second step began immediately, the Slave Emperor faced one Portuguese warship alone, two frigates besieged the other, and the remaining two broke away from the battle circle and began to chase the Portuguese transport ship that was fleeing forward at great speed. At this time, it is simply impossible to turn around. Frigates are lightweight, agile warships, much faster than large transports. If you really have to turn around, you will be caught before you finish it.

The Portuguese were completely blinded and had little to fight back. The two frigates also wanted to close the distance to engage in broadside battles to see if they could turn the tables. But as soon as they got closer, ellipsoidal grenades were thrown by Igik's men. Even the grenades lit by the arquebus were all more powerful yellow powder, and a dozen of them were thrown together, no worse than the solid shells of two eighteen-pounder guns. The Portuguese, who had just gathered up, were directly blown up on their backs.

Ijik's men also picked up Hall M1819 rifles and opened fire, and after three rounds, the entire deck of the enemy was emptied. The two transports did not run far before they were hit by two frigates and had to stop. The Portuguese did not intend to surrender directly, but also wanted to hide in the cabin of the ship and secretly attack. The sailors of Ijik directly changed into the revolver and walked into the cabin back to back. All the enemies who came up were knocked down by a single shot of the revolver and sold to Igik, but the company's own 11.2 mm large-caliber revolver would be directly fatal if it hit any part of the body.

By the time the Slave Emperor and three other frigates arrived, the battle was over. A captain was waiting for Igik, because the "cargo" on this ship was so special that he couldn't get it. The people of Igjik checked the cabin and found that it happened to be a piggy ship. As it has been said before, piglet ships are ships that transport yellow slaves who are insultingly called "piglets" by whites.

The environment of the piglet ship is very poor, especially the piglet ship under George, a black slave trader, and the environment is really not for people to stay. Izuk found a detailed list and found two ships, more of them Koreans and Dongying people. Only a small number of people are from the Qing Dynasty. In fact, it cannot be regarded as an orthodox Qing Dynasty resident, in this era, the millions of troops of the Qing Dynasty are still very deterrent, and these Qing Dynasty people are all criminals.

How to say, some of these people were Qing Dynasty people who committed crimes and were exiled. More often than not, it was because they could not bear the high pressure and high taxes of the Qing government, as well as the oppression of all kinds of cool officials and corrupt officials, and fled to overseas islands. The Qing government had no concept of ships, and the few ships that were stolen from the Ming army were stolen. It can be said that since the fall of the Ming Dynasty, China's shipbuilding technology has gone from leading the world to being completely surpassed by whites, and there has been no progress at all, which is one of the reasons why the rulers of the Qing Dynasty have been criticized.

These criminals are not under the jurisdiction of the government, nor will they be protected by the government. The strength is weak, and he lives only on fishing and some farming. Not only are you oppressed by pirates, but you also have to worry about being caught by these cruel slave traders. These people have been living on the sea all year round, and many of them have also done murder and stealing goods, and they have faintly become an investment in these slaves. The Chinese people are very wise, and they are even better at forbearance, on the surface, they all pretend to be obedient, but they have long been in private and are ready to unite everyone to resist.

It's just that the Koreans and Dongying people of this era are not representatives of backbone. Even, their ethnic group did not form a strong state. Especially the Toei people, this era is still in the period of warlord melee, uh, what are they called shogunates and daimyos.
