Chapter 1337: Looking at the world outside (15)

Although the tiger head and the little lion are bears, they always see the overall situation of the relationship between the country and the country with their father, and their vision is naturally much higher than that of Lin Xiaowei and others, so the two did not agree with Lin Xiaowei. The suggestion of killing the prisoners, said: "It's just eight people, it's not troublesome to bring people with them. If they can live until we return to Daqi, it will be more beneficial to us."

Xiaowei Lin remembered the widely circulated story of the prince holding prisoners for ransom. He thought that the two young sons were going to imitate their father, so he calculated the ransom set by the prince, and found that these eight people could still make a lot of money. money.

And the two little sons are absolutely impossible to covet these ransoms, so in the end, the money is still divided among the soldiers.

Captain Lin, who was transferred from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, thought so. Those soldiers who had served as soldiers under the prince thought of this before him, so the rumor that prisoners could exchange money immediately spread throughout the battalion. The soldiers watched The eyes of the eight were glowing with a layer of green light.

The six people who were unable to do anything could not help shivering, and looked at the soldiers alertly.

But Qi Bing suddenly became polite to them. Although he was still locked in the dark cabin on the lowest floor, he no longer beat him passively, and ate some basic food.

It’s not that no one thought of escaping, but Qi Bing took stricter care of them. They stayed with people for 24 hours outside the cabin, and every time there were four people. I don’t know what happy things they were talking about. Laughing, it's a pity they don't understand Chinese.

The soldiers were discussing that the next time they killed the pirates, they would capture more prisoners and then exchange money. The ransom for capturing the prisoners was not distributed by the entire army, but divided equally by their forward battalion. In this way, they could get a lot of extra money. .

So the soldiers are happy.

The happy soldiers soon ushered in the second task, going to the sea to ambush, waiting for the arrival of the second pioneer battalion, and waiting for the escorted merchant ships to arrive in this sea area. If they found the trace of pirates, they would immediately attack the second pioneer battalion.

They stayed on this small island for eight days, and they disguised the ship again. They painted a large skull on the hull of the ship, and put the skull flag from the pirate ship on the warship. Still not like the canvas boat on the western side, but what does it matter?

Who said that pirates are not allowed to use the looted Daqi merchant ships as pirate ships?

Most of the Daqi merchant ships in the Guangzhou area are produced by the Maritime Bureau, and the construction of the warships is also built by the great craftsmen of the Maritime Bureau. There are some similarities. Before going to sea, they have erased the marks of the warships and simply camouflaged them. It's a merchant ship, so it's not too difficult to dress up this time.

But boats can be camouflaged, but people can’t, because foreigners and Qi people are too easy to tell apart.

Lin Chengxiu could only order the soldiers on the deck to cover their heads and faces, and then put on the clothes of pirates. In order to avoid revealing the contents, he also brought the tiger-headed lion with him. Not to be exposed.

The    refitted pirate ship sailed smoothly towards the sea area where they were before. In less than two hours, they saw two warships in Daqi, followed by a row of merchant ships.

Lin Chengxiu put down his clairvoyance and said, "Put the sails away, don't go over first, and look for our Second Pioneer Battalion to see if there are any traces of pirates."

The Second Pioneer Battalion arrived at this sea area at night, and had reeled the sails early to hide. From a distance, they saw a pirate ship appearing in the sea area. Before they could be happy, they found a red ribbon wrapped around it. Immediately twitched the corners of his mouth, put down his clairvoyance and said, "It's my own."

"General, our warship is escorting the merchant ship, do you want to set sail?"

"Wait a minute, but you can prepare."

At the same time, the pirate ship that was gradually approaching here also discovered the two boats with the canvas down. The pirates on the boat immediately cursed. The boat with the canvas down is difficult for people to find. It's impossible to escape.

The sea is endless, but there are actually blind spots. These pirates live in the sea all the year round, and they are very familiar with this sea area, so they naturally know how to avoid the sight of others.

But the soldiers in Daqi are not bad. Although they are not familiar with this sea area, they have a lot of knowledge, so it is difficult for people to find the position of the ship.

When everyone finds each other, it will be very difficult to avoid each other's sight unless you turn around and leave.

But the pirates are not cowards, since they dare to come, naturally they will not leave so easily.

So, all the ships gradually appeared and began to block this sea area.

Lin Chengxiu first asked people to raise the canvas and quietly waited for the arrival of Daqi's warship.

And the two warships in the distance naturally discovered these pirate ships, and the captain of the colonel immediately ordered the merchant ships to dock, and the warships went up to make way first.

The merchant ships did not dare to intervene in the war. They stopped almost when the captain gave the order, and some even wanted to find an island nearby to stop first.

The two warships quickly left the ranks of the merchant ships, heading towards them riding the wind and waves. From a distance, they let the soldiers signal the pirate ships to get out of the way. These are the warships and merchant ships of Daqi, and they have no right to stop them.

Lin Chengxiu counted them and said, "There are five pirate ships in sight, and we have six, but they don't take action against the Second Pioneer Battalion, and they don't respond to the slogans of the Daqi warships, and they don't even communicate with each other. Communication, it can be seen that the relationship between them is not harmonious, and it can be used."

The pirates were indeed not in harmony, because the five ships that came belonged to four countries, and they were not in harmony with each other.

Portugal and Italy are at odds, so the two ships are far apart, and England and France are even more deadly enemies, at least recently they have hated each other, and two of the pirate ships belonged to England.

But in the eyes of the other pirates, the situation was more serious, and what really made them reluctant to do it was that England had three pirate ships here.

Yes, the skull flags that Lin Chengxiu and the others put up belonged to England, so in the eyes of the pirates, there were six pirate ships, but three belonged to England.

And England has always been domineering, and the coastal areas of India are in its hands. It should be said that in addition to Italy, England is the most powerful.

They are not sure if they can get enough benefits after the warships and merchant ships of Daqi are captured. What if the three pirate ships in England join forces and take all the things?

Especially France, they distrusted England the most, so they were slow to act.

And on the two pirate ships in England, the pirates cursed endlessly. Didn’t they say that only two ships would come out, how could three ships come out? Even if you are crazy about money, you should use your mind.

Two ships are for deterrence, and three ships are for intimidation.

They have three ships, so naturally they are unwilling to take the lead, otherwise they will be able to destroy Daqi's warships. It hurts to think.

Anyway, they have three ships, so Daqi's fleet can't beat them, and pirates from other countries don't dare to compete with them, so it's better to wait.

Under such scruples, everyone waited motionless for the Daqi warship to approach.

Zhou Zhou was very happy when he saw it. As soon as the Daqi warship entered the battle circle, he immediately ordered to bombard the Portuguese pirate ship, and after Zhou Zhou's action, Lin Chengxiu immediately ordered the artillery fire to be aimed at the French warship.

In a short period of time, the two sides reached a tacit understanding, sow discord, and then let them bite the dog!
