Hearing this alarm, Brother Chen felt so regretful. To be honest, he was just a little sailor when he was young, and he had only met pirates once, but it was fine that time to pay the money, and the amount was not large.

Since the founding of China, the South China Sea fleet has patroled on the vast routes of the South China Sea, and the rampant pirates' arrogance of activities has been curbed. Although it is impossible to completely eliminate these pirates who fought, burned and looted in the South China Sea, large-scale pirate activities have basically disappeared.

What remains are some small-scale pirate gangs. Even though the South China Sea Fleet is still not sending any remaining strength to attack, these small pirates rely on the many islands scattered in the South China Sea as cover and have been dealing with the South China Sea Fleet, which has led to a situation where the Great Suppression is immortal and the Suppression continues.

After the large-scale clearance of pirates, the South China Sea became much safer, and many young sailors were difficult to touch pirates, which was rare to encounter.

But, I was actually encountered today!

Brother Chen was so regretful. He shouldn't have talked about pirates just now.

Although Brother Chen regretted it, he was not very panicked. After all, Old Hailong, who had been running on the sea for so many years, Brother Chen immediately asked the eldest mate to turn the rudder and head towards the nearest South China Sea Fleet patrol area.

Brother Chen knew that in the waters not far away, there were often destroyers of the South China Sea Fleet patrolling regularly every day to protect the merchant ships coming and going. Brother Chen also knew that since the South China Sea Fleet vigorously cleared out the South China Sea pirates' combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced, and many turbine ships have been destroyed. These pirates used more convenient sailing ships to escape the encirclement of the South China Sea Fleet.

Although the Chunlan is an old ship with a ship age of more than ten years, its turbines have just been replaced and its fastest speed can reach 16 knots. As long as these pirate ships are not too close, the turbine ships with a higher speed advantage can still easily escape.

This is why pirates have hijacked ships in recent years. Once the merchant ships find the traces of pirates in advance, these merchant ships that are not too slow can easily escape by taking advantage of their advantageous speed. Due to the sharp decline in returns, the pirate industry is not easy to get involved, and some pirates can only be helpless.

However, the issue of pirates has not been completely cut off since ancient times. Now, the pirates who survived through layers of difficulties have set their sights on the Chunlan. In the eyes of those pirates, the Chunlan is a piece of fat that is rich and rich.

Brother Chen was extremely calm and mobilized all the crew. The deck was full of sailors running and calling, adding coal, speeding up the speed, and even the sails that were rarely used were used. The Chunlan swept away the harmonious atmosphere just now, and the whole ship mobilized the Chunlan to operate quickly. For Brother Chen, it was not easy to get rid of these old sailboats.

Tang Jian also came to the boat room to help Brother Chen do something, but the shadow behind him was getting closer and closer, and his speed was astonishing.

Brother Chen picked up the telescope for sailing and looked at it. He collapsed on the captain's chair on the spot. He swept away the calm just now, but he kept saying, "This time, it's over, this time it's over!"

"What's wrong?" Because the distance is a little far, Tang Jian can't see the specific situation in the distance clearly.

Just as Tang Jian asked, the roar of the turbines came from the sea in the distance. Tang Jian felt a little nervous and felt something was wrong. Tang Jian took Brother Chen's nautical telescope and saw that it was true!

The one who came to pursue the Chunlan was not the pirate's sailboat, but the gunboat, an gunboat armed to the teeth and equipped with rapid-fire guns.

No wonder Brother Chen was so desperate. The merchant ships and gunboats raced, and the result was imagined.

Chen Chusheng was nervous and subconsciously touched his waist. When he boarded the boat from Hawaii, in order to prevent accidents, Chen Chusheng brought two black star ****, while Tang Jian brought two desert eagles that he liked to use the most.

However, these weapons are simply insignificant when facing pirates armed with teeth-shooting.

When Tang Jian instructed the South China Sea fleet to execute the piracy, Tang Jian still had a certain understanding of these pirates, just intercepting ships, tying people, and asking for ransom.

As long as they do not resist too much and pay the ransom in time, under normal circumstances, these pirates will not hurt the lives of the hostages. After all, pirates also have professional ethics. If they kill hostages casually, who would believe that they would give the ransom?

Tang Jian commanded thousands of troops all year round, and naturally he was calm about such things. He was just a few little pirates. Tang Jian shook his head at Chen Chusheng and signaled him not to act rashly.

At this time, Brother Chen was already shocked. After all, he was an honest old Hailong. The first time he saw such a fully armed pirate, he was naturally indifferent.

At this moment, a huge explosion sounded at the stern of the boat, and a few meters high langhua hit the deck. The sailors on the boat were also frightened by the sound of the cannon and stayed in place and were at a loss.

Tang Jian looked back and saw that the pirate's gunboat had already bullied him, only a few hundred meters away from the Chunlan. After all, the Chunlan was a merchant ship, so he would definitely not be able to compete with the speed of the gunboat.

Tang Jian remained calm in the face of danger and quickly directed the sailors to stop the ship and asked the people on the ship to hand over all the weapons and put them on the deck.

Since they can no longer escape, the only way to surrender is to surrender. The weapons are handed over to avoid hostility from the pirates. Although the pirates are basically more professional, they are never ruthless towards those who dare to resist.

Besides, pirates are not moral, and there are also scum among pirates. If pirates without professional ethics find weapons hidden on the ship, maybe all the people on the ship will be thrown into the sea to feed the fish.

The sailors suddenly suffered a change and everyone became extremely stupid. At this time, Tang Jian stepped forward, and the sailors also found their backbone, knowing that they could not escape today and that they could have cannons. This is different from those pirates driving sailboats. The sailors had to stop the ship according to Tang Jian's instructions and handed over all the weapons as they said.

At this time, Brother Chen also came to his senses and quickly helped stop the ship and immediately raised the white flag. The pirate's gunboat stopped the alarming shelling and rushed straight towards the Chunlan.

When the pirates approached, Tang Jian asked: "Aren't the pirates almost wiped out by the South China Sea Fleet? Why are there such powerful pirates?" Tang Jian's powerful words refer to pirates with gunboats.

Gunboats are not something that ordinary pirates can own, especially the South China Sea Fleet's attack on South China Sea pirates has been increasing this year. Needless to say, there are not many pirates with gunboats, even sailing boats. However, this was the first time Tang Jian went to sea in a secluded manner, and he did not expect to encounter such a powerful pirate.

Tang Jian could only smile bitterly and sighed that he was not lucky.

Brother Chen seemed to be very afraid of this pirate. He looked at the approaching pirate gunboat without moving and explained: "This pirate organization is called 'Lan Fangman', a pirate that has risen in recent years. Although the South China Sea Fleet has been expelling the remaining efforts, Lan Fangman is very cunning. No one knows their nests yet, so they have survived to this day. And I don't know when they got two gunboats and have been rampant on the South China Sea since then. Basically, as long as they meet Lan Fangman, it is basically over."

Tang Jian said curiously: "Has the South China Sea Fleet not focused on suppressing this pirate?"

Brother Chen sighed and said, "Suppress, why not? Last year, the South China Sea Fleet fought with Lan Fangman. In that battle, Lan Fangman suffered heavy losses and a gunboat. The number of Lan Fangman people dropped sharply, so the number of robbers was greatly reduced. However, after all, it was not hurt. After a period of recovery, Lan Fangman began to rush on the South China Sea again. However, this time they learned their cleverness and their whereabouts were vague. The South China Sea Fleet was helpless. There were many merchant ships like us, and basically the chance of meeting Lan Fangman was very small. Usually, they had no help when they met. They had a female leader who killed people without blinking. Of course, she only killed those who dared to resist her. Alas, it was my unlucky. My ship was completely finished."

Brother Chen said tears were about to shed. After all, this was his ten years of hard work. Now it was ruined, why isn’t it sad?

Tang Jian understood that Lan Fangman was arrested. Although the South China Sea Fleet was powerful, the South China Sea Fleet had no way to focus on such a small enemy with vague whereabouts.

Just like a lion, facing a powerful beast, it is naturally not afraid, but once it encounters a little mouse, the lion will be blind and cannot use it even if it has the energy.

Now the South China Sea Fleet is a lion, and Lan Fangman is a rat, so it is impossible to suppress it again and again.

It was a trivial matter to clear out pirates, and Tang Jian left all the people below to do, so Tang Jian didn't care when he was in Wuhan. He focused all on Japan and Hawaii at that time.

What Tang Jian didn't expect was that the pirate he didn't care much about at the time was actually encountered by him today and was still in the hands of others.

At this time, a few ropes with iron hooks were thrown from the pirate's gunboat, firmly fixing the Chunlan. Several pirates with strong faces and strong figures jumped onto the Chunlan deck.

When Tang Jian saw these pirates, he couldn't help laughing. These people were still wearing the braids of the Qing Dynasty. It seemed that Lan Fangman was either in a mess or was not very interested in China.

The pirates who were the first to board the ship used the *Se from decades ago to aim at the people on the ship, including Tang Jian. When they saw that the crew was quite honest, several pirates lowered their guns and carefully checked the Chunlan. They found that there were no private weapons on the Chunlan, and they were all full of cargo, and they immediately looked at it with a smile.

Several pirates quickly waved to their accomplices on the gunboat down, and then more than a dozen pirates boarded the Chunlan. A female pirate covered with a veil was greeted. She must be Lan Fang's famous female leader.

Tang Jian saw the female pirate's pace and graceful figure, not like a female bandit who had been galloping for many years, but like a girl in her twenties.

Could it be that the leader of the barbarian Lan Fang is a beautiful woman in her twenties? Tang Jian thought in disbelief.
