Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 232 Zheng Zhilong

On the beach of Ishigaki Island, a group of tied up pirates looked helplessly at the port blocked by the Liao army fleet.

"Boss, do you think the big boss will come to rescue us?" A pirate who was tied up near Zheng Zhihu asked him.

"Yes, brother will definitely send someone to negotiate with Chu Yun, but it's hard to say whether Chu Yun is willing to let us beat him up." Zheng Zhihu looked at the huge Fuliao Army fleet at the port, feeling hard to express.

"Big Boss and the Bosses have more than a thousand warships and tens of thousands of crew members. They shouldn't be afraid of Chu Yun. When the Big Boss sends someone over, he will definitely let us go back!" said a pirate.

While they were talking, Deng Qianlong brought a group of soldiers over.

"Take these few, these few, these few, take them all away." Deng Qianlong selected some strong young men from among these captives, and then ordered the soldiers to escort them onto the boat.

"What do you want to do, where do you want to take us?" These selected pirates said in panic.

"Of course I'm taking you to a good place, and you don't have to ride pirates anymore." Deng Qianlong showed a sly smile.

Chu Yun was very dissatisfied with the gains from conquering Ishigaki Island this time, and naturally he wanted to take these pirates as prisoners if he couldn't get the money.Southern Liaoning and Eastern Liaodong have been ravaged by war, with vast land and few people, and they are short of population.Selecting young men from among the pirates is equivalent to saving 2 taels of silver in salary every year.

"You are abducting people!" Zheng Zhihu came to his senses and knew what he wanted to do when he returned to the Liao army.

"Even Shibazhi deceived those who had nothing to eat in the coastal areas and let them go on the road of no return. Our Liao army gave them food and lodging so that they could have enough food without risking their lives. They can also consider letting their family members come with us to live a good life in southern Liaoning. In two years, they will be grateful to us. Let’s go.” Deng Qianlong escorted a group of selected pirates to an area alone, ready to follow the fleet Return to southern Liaoning.

Chu Yun was waiting for Shibazhi’s reply on Ishigaki Island. A fleet of ships patrolled around Ishigaki Island every moment. Once Shibazhi’s fleet was spotted, they would signal to the fleet stationed on Ishigaki Island.

"Captain, Shibazhi's ship has appeared!"

On this day, the formation of Daqi was in charge of patrolling. Their sailors saw three ships with the Eighteen Shiba Pirate Flag appearing in the waters of Ishigaki Island.

"Tell the No. [-] frigate to go back and inform the commander and general that we will step forward and force them to stop." The captain of the Daqi saw that the other party was only three ships, and knew that he was not coming to fight with the Liao army, so he told them Signal to stop the ship.

"Boss, they want us to stop the ship, what should we do?" On the pirate ship, a pirate in his 30s said to a young man in his 25s.

"Follow their instructions and follow them." The 25-six young man waved his hand nonchalantly.

After the Daqi approached with two frigates, it sandwiched the three pirate ships and headed to the port of Ishigaki Island together.As long as there is a slight change, they can sink the three pirate ships in the first place.

"The ships of the Fu Liao Army are magnificent. These ships are all at the level of main warships in our fleet!" The young pirate leader looked at the Da Qi leading the way ahead with his eyes burning.

The specifications of the Daqi were completely manufactured according to the specifications of the three types of sailing battleships of the British Empire in the Napoleon era.This kind of military battleship, which was only conceived after a century of naval battles in the West, has improved compared with the ships used by pirates today, and even the warships in the West. .

"The Fu Liao army was still fighting the Jin people not long ago. How could there be so many warships, and the main structure of these warships is similar to that of Western warships." The pirate general was also amazed at the Daqi formation.

The sound of tsk-tsk came from the pirate ship, which made the crew on the Daqi a little proud.The weakest frigates in their fleet can be classified as the most powerful warships in the pirate fleet.As for battleships, I'm sorry, but I haven't seen a warship with such powerful firepower as a battleship among the Eighteen Zhi.

When the Daqi led the three pirate ships close to the coast, the Fuliao Army fleet moored in the port and the pirate captives on the coast all noticed Shibazhi's flag.

"Sure enough, the leader sent someone! We are saved!" The captured pirate shouted happily.

Even the pirates who were captured and transported to the strange southern and eastern Liaodong were hoping that Zheng Zhilong would send someone to turn the tide and rescue them.

"This... this... what kind of warship is this, with three decks, and there are so many artillery..." The pirate leader was shocked when he saw the Daqi equipped with more than 50 artillery pieces. The chin of the battleship Victory, which was moored in the port with a hundred cannons, was about to drop to the deck in surprise.

He had never seen such a terrifying warship before, this is not a warship, it is simply a moving castle floating on the sea!
"Boss...Boss, look at him...their ships..." Shibazhi's generals wiped their eyes in disbelief as they looked at the warships lined up in the port.

Although the warships moored in the port were slightly scarred, countless empty muzzles were facing them, like the Great Wall of Steel on the sea, making them intimidated.I believe that if they are dissatisfied with provoking Chu Yun a little bit, they may not be able to leave this island.

"Our enemy is so terrifying. At first, I thought it was Zhihu who exaggerated the strength of the Liao army fleet because he was afraid that I would hold him accountable for his defeat on Miyako Island. I didn't expect that. A fleet with such strength." The pirate leader said with lingering fear.

"Could it be that there are Westerners behind them? Could it be someone from the sea coachman?" A general of the Pirate Department guessed.

"We have fought a lot with sea coachmen, and we have helped them. The styles of their warships are quite different, and they don't look like sea coachmen."

"Then it may be that Great Britain or Franji, or people from some unknown country in the West are supporting the Liao Army behind their backs."

"When we go back and ask the coachmen 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 have to see if they are so big. appetite." Said the pirate leader, "Today, I, Zheng Zhilong, will go to meet the leader of the Liao army to see who he is."
