Chapter 231 Zheng Zhilong
On the beach of Ishigaki Island, a group of pirates tied up in large flowers looked helplessly at the port blocked by the Fuliao Fleet.
"Boss, do you think the boss will come to save us?" A pirate tied up near Zheng Zhihu asked him.
"Yes, my brother will definitely send someone to negotiate with Chu Yun, but it is hard to say whether Chu Yun is willing to let us beat us up." Zheng Zhihu looked at the huge Fu Liao fleet at the port and felt unspeakable.
"The boss and the boss have more than a thousand warships and tens of thousands of crew members. They should not be afraid of Chu Yun. When the boss sends people over, he will definitely let us go back!" said a pirate.
While they were talking, Deng Qianlong came over with a team of soldiers.
"Take all of these, and these, and these, take them away." Deng Qianlong selected some strong young men from these prisoners, and then ordered the soldiers to take them on the ship.
"What do you want to do, where do you want to take us?" said the selected pirates in panic.
"Of course I'm taking you to a good place, and you won't have to sit on a pirate anymore." Deng Qianlong showed a sly smile.
Chu Yun was very dissatisfied with the gains from conquering Ishigaki Island this time, so he naturally had the idea of capturing these pirates. In southern Liaoning and Liaodong were full of war, with a vast land and sparse population, and was short of population to supplement the population. Selecting young men from the pirates would be equivalent to saving 10,000 taels of silver a year.
"You are trafficking people!" Zheng Zhihu woke up and knew what he wanted to do when he restored the Liao army.
"Shibazhi also deceived those in the coastal areas who had no food and allowed them to go on the road of killing and robbing people. We returned the Liao army to give them food and accommodation, so that they could eat and fill their stomachs without risking their lives. They could also consider letting their families come to our southern Liaoning to live a good life. In two years, they will be grateful to us. "Deng Qianlong took the selected group of pirates to a single area, preparing to return to southern Liaoning with the fleet.
Chu Yun was waiting for Shibazhi to reply on Ishigaki Island. Every moment, a formation of ships patrolled near Ishigaki Island. Once he found that Shibazhi's fleet was present, he would signal to the fleet stationed at Ishigaki Island.
"Captain, Shibazhi's ship appeared!"
The one who was responsible for patrolling this day was the formation of the Daqi. Their sailors saw three ships with the Eighteen-Shi Pirate Flag appearing on the waters of Ishigaki Island.
"Let the frigate No. 2 go back and notify the army leader and general, and we go forward and force them to stop them." The captain of the Daqi saw that the other party was only three ships, and knew that he was not going to fight against them to fight the Liao army to death, so he signaled to stop the ship.
"Chief, they want us to stop the ship, what should we do?" A pirate in his thirties said to a young man who was only twenty-five or six.
"Follow them according to their guidance." The young man in twenty-five and six waved his hand indifferently.
After the Daqi approached with two frigates, they sandwiched the three pirate ships in the middle and headed to the port of Ishigaki Island together. As long as there was a slight change, they could sink the three pirate ships as soon as possible.
"The ships of the Fu Liao army are so grand. These ships are all in our fleet at the level of the main warship!" The young pirate leader looked at the Daqi, leading the way ahead, with his eyes scorching.
The specifications of the Daqi were completely manufactured according to the specifications of the third-class sailing battleships of the British Empire in the Napoleon era. This military battleship, which was only discovered after a century of naval battle in the West, has been improved compared with the ships used by pirates and even the current warships of the West. The pirate leaders who know how to use ships naturally know how terrible these ships are and become more and more envious.
"The Fu Liao army was still fighting against the Jin people not long ago. How could there be so many warships? Moreover, the main structure of these warships is similar to that of Western warships." The pirate generals were also amazed at the Daqi formation.
The sound of tsk from the pirate ship made the crew on the Daqi a little proud. The weakest frigates in their fleet can be included in the group of warships with the strongest firepower in the pirate fleet. As for the battleships, sorry, I have not seen any warships with such powerful firepower as the battleships in Shibazhi.
When the Daqi led three pirate ships to the coast, the Fuliao fleet anchored in the port and the pirate captives on the coast all noticed the flag of Shibazhi.
"The leader has indeed sent someone! We are saved!" the captured pirate shouted happily.
Even when they were captured and transported to the unfamiliar southern Liaoning, the pirates in Liaodong were hoping that Zheng Zhilong could send someone to turn the tide and rescue them.
"This... this... what kind of warship is this? There are so many artillery on the three decks... "The pirate leader was shocked when he saw the Daqi equipped with more than 50 artillery. At this time, he saw the Victory battleship, which was anchored in the port with hundreds of cannons, and his chin was about to fall to the deck in surprise.
He had never seen such a terrible warship. It was not a warship. It was simply a mobile castle floating on the sea!
"Head... leader, look at him... their ships..." The generals of Shibazhi looked at the warships arranged in the port with great might, and wiped their eyes in disbelief.
Although the warships anchored in the port were a little scarred, countless empty muzzles were facing them, like the Great Steel Wall on the sea, which made them afraid. I believe that if they were a little dissatisfied with Chu Yun, they might be unable to live without this island.
"Our enemy is so terrifying. I originally thought that it was Zhihu who was afraid that I would hold him responsible for his failure in Miyakoshima, so he exaggerated the strength of the Fu Liao fleet. Unexpectedly, the Fu Liao army had a fleet of such strength at some time." The pirate leader said with lingering fear.
"Can they have Western support behind them? Will they be the coachman on the sea?" a pirate general guessed.
"We have fought a lot with the sea coachman and have helped them do things. The styles of their warships are quite different, and they don't look like those of the sea coachman."
"That might be Great Britain or Francis, or people from unknown countries in the West support the Restoration of Liao Army behind their backs."
"When we go back and ask the coachman on the sea, we will know which country is supporting the Liao army. Westerners want to intervene in our business in the East China Sea through the Liao army, and we must also see if they have such a big appetite." The pirate leader said, "Today, I, Zheng Zhilong, will go and meet the Liao army leader for a while and see who he is."
