Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 308 The Japanese pirates were beaten silly
  Zhu Xuan prepared for a few more days before luring the snake out of the cave.

Wait for the news to arrive for a while.

After everything was settled, Zhu Xuan asked Hou Xian to bring Wu Yongfeng over.

Wu Yongfeng, who had rested for a few more days, was in much better mental condition than before, but he had to use a cane to walk. With Zhu Xuan's arrangement, he had to come to the port to prepare for boarding the ship.

"Whether I can help you get revenge depends on this time."

Zhu Xuan solemnly said: "After you get on the ship, show your face on the deck so that people outside can see that you are on the ship, and I will be waiting in the cabin."

They were inside the trading port. People outside didn't know what was going on inside, and they didn't know that Zhu Xuan would get on the ship.

Everything is done very discreetly.

"I see."

Wu Yongfeng said, fiercely: "If it is really Wang Yu, I will make him regret it."

He has not yet settled all the grudges he had with Wang Yu. If it was really Wang Yu who robbed him at that time, he would have to settle all the old and new grudges together.

"lets go!"

Zhu Xuan said.

They boarded the boat one after another.

There are fifteen of these ordinary merchant ships in total.

The boats are all equipped with Dingshan River, but the artillery is not exposed to the outside at present, but is hidden inside the boat, giving people the feeling that this is a merchant ship, rather than Zhu Xuan deliberately going out to sea to fish.

Everything is moved to the boat.

The soldiers from the Shenji Battalion and the Guards Battalion were arranged into fifteen ships.

In addition, Huaying also sent two thousand soldiers from the guard station, who were also assigned to the ship. This time the pirates must die.

No one can save them if they come.

Huaying also contacted the guards of other prefectures and conveyed Zhu Xuan's order as the emperor's grandson to keep an eye on the families of those businessmen and control them. As soon as any news came back, they would arrest them and ransack their homes.

A net is exhausted!
  They were not benevolent, and Zhu Xuan never thought about benevolence and righteousness. He would still fight those who deserved to be beaten, and he would not let anyone go.

Zhu Xuan also boarded the merchant ship, with Yan Guan and Hou Xian protecting him.

After all, the merchant ship is not a warship. If something unexpected happens, they can protect Zhu Xuan and leave immediately.

When all preparations were completed, the merchant ships left the port dock, lined up in rows, and headed for the estuary along the Pearl River. At this time, Wu Yongfeng came to the deck with his crutches and deliberately showed his face at the bow of the ship.

The boat they were traveling on was right in the front row.

A total of more than ten ships went out to sea at the same time, and the scene was quite grand, which quickly attracted other people on the shore to watch.

There were also some businessmen watching from the side.

After showing his face for a while, Wu Yongfeng went back to the ship to meet Zhu Xuan.

In the past, Wu Yongfeng had offended Zhu Xuan in order to speak for the businessman, but as time passed, everyone seemed to have forgotten about it, and they tacitly agreed not to mention it again.

Despite this, Wu Yongfeng was still much more cautious in front of Zhu Xuan than before.

"Your Highness, we are ready."

Wu Yongfeng came back and said.

Zhu Xuan nodded and said: "Continue to set off. After going to sea, be careful. At the same time, the artillery and other weapons are ready to take action at any time."

"Yes!"

The people around him said in unison.

Fifteen merchant ships drifted along the river. After walking for a long time, they arrived at the sea.

After leaving the sea, the ship continued sailing for about two days. After leaving Guangdong, they prepared to sail towards Malacca. However, before changing direction, they saw more than fifty large ships surrounding them from all directions.

"Your Highness, here we come!" Wang Er hurriedly came back and said.

Before Zhu Xuan could respond, he heard a burst of artillery fire outside.

Zhu Xuan went out and took a look, and saw that the cannons were fired by the Japanese pirates. They seemed to be firing threatening cannons to stop their merchant ships. He shouted: "Stop everyone, Dingshan River is ready to fire."

The flag bearer on the ship waves the flag.

The soldiers of other merchant ships saw the movement on Zhu Xuan's side, responded quickly, prepared for battle, and stopped at the same time.

The Japanese pirates around him quickly surrounded him.

Zhu Xuan could see that there were only a very small number of artillery pieces on the Japanese pirate ships. They were all relatively old-fashioned artillery pieces with a short range. The shells fired just now were not very powerful when they landed on the sea and could not hit merchant ships at a distance. It seems to be just to show the existence of their Japanese pirates.

Simply make a sound.

"Come closer and take a look."

Zhu Xuan said.

Wu Yongfeng walked to the side of the boat and looked at the Japanese pirate ships.

Zhu Xuan raised his telescope and looked at the Japanese pirate ships. He found that the Japanese pirates on the ship were just like what Wu Yongfeng had described before, with their faces covered and wearing black clothes.

They all became pirates and even wore masks. It seemed that their pirate faces could not be seen by others.

The Japanese pirates could notice which ship Wu Yongfeng was in even though they were far away, so when Wu Yongfeng showed his face, they approached directly as if they were really coming towards him.

"Your Highness, what should we do?"

Wu Yongfeng asked worriedly.

Zhu Xuan said: "Fire!"

All merchant ships have three gates on the Dingshan River.

They immediately changed the formation of the fleet, pushed out the artillery, and turned the muzzle. The gunner skillfully aimed at the Japanese pirate ships, started the artillery, and bombarded them with one shot.

boom!
  The sound of cannons appeared neatly on the sea, and many of the Japanese pirate ships that were approaching were hit immediately.

The cannonballs used in Dingshan River were just a little worse than the Shenwei cannon. They also exploded, not the iron bombs. As the cannonballs exploded, the Japanese pirate ship that was hit burst into flames and a big hole was blown out of the hull.

Some warships were penetrated through the bottom of the ship, and sea water continued to pour in, showing signs of sinking.

The Japanese pirates suddenly heard the sound of cannons and were all stunned for a while.

How come an ordinary merchant ship is equipped with artillery?
  Before they could figure out the reason, the soldiers on the ship continued to fire out cannons. The shells flew across the sea and hit the ships continuously, making the sound deafening.

There were also screams that kept echoing on the sea.

The Japanese pirates who surrounded them were all stunned.

They were all thinking, what happened?
  Before they could think clearly, more than a dozen ships were sunk, and the remaining ones were parked on the sea blankly. The helmsmen didn't seem to know whether to retreat or to fight.

In the end, their leader should have ordered them all to retreat.

Now, no matter how confused they are, they can still think that those merchant ships are definitely not merchant ships, but warships of the Ming army. Today's is a trap, and the Ming army is coming to deal with them.

"Chase!"

Zhu Xuan said.

The merchant ship chased behind the Japanese pirate ship, bombarding them while chasing them, and the sound of cannons was heard all over the sky.

Many Japanese pirate ships walking in the back row were hit soon.

The artillery on the ship was hit by Zhu Xuan's cannonballs, and exploded. A secondary explosion occurred, which caused everyone on the ship to fly out, and many people had to jump into the sea to escape.

They knew that the Ming Navy was powerful, sweeping across the sea and unrivaled, so they had been hiding from warships. However, they did not expect that ordinary naval warships disguised as merchant ships could be so terrifying.

They were beaten so hard that they were unable to fight back!
