The Eagle of Eastern Europe

Malacca was founded two years ago and is still a small city. A large part of the reason is that pirates in Temasek robbed passing merchant ships, resulting in scarce trade here.

Paramesura told Mason a lot about their family. In Mason's view, this is an inspirational film, in which a prince who has fallen from the previous dynasty builds his own world in a foreign country. How can you not appreciate this.

I heard that Mason was going to fight pirates. The other party not only gave him supplies and maps, but also promised to give him a large piece of land for trade.

Mason prayed for good weather in the next few days. There was more rainfall here than in Constantinople. If it rained, their firearms would be useless.

The fleet continued southward, searching for the pirates' lair along the coastline.

In Temasek, it has been taken over by pirates. Most of them were civilians who had fled the country and started working as pirates in order to survive. The leader among them was a pirate leader named Chen Zuyi.

He had more than a hundred ships with over 10,000 men, robbed tens of thousands of passing ships, and attacked more than 50 coastal towns. His reward amount has reached 500,000 silver.

"Ha, I've been really lucky lately. The businessmen were so scared when they saw our ship that they handed over their money. I've never seen so much money in my life."

"I said Liu Er, just look at this money. If the boss hadn't been here, we wouldn't have known where we would have died?"

"The boss should be called Wang."

Chen Zuyi fled to the Bolin State of Srivijaya and became a general under King Manazhe Wuli. After the king's death, he gathered a group of pirates and proclaimed himself king. Subsequently, robberies were carried out back and forth between the Old Port and Temasek, causing great trouble to the passing merchant ships.

Chen Zuyi picked up the wine glass and said to his men. "I, Chen Zuyi, owe what I have achieved today to all my brothers. The emperor in the north has put a reward of millions of taels of silver on my head. What does this mean? It means they are afraid. If he is the emperor on land , then I will be the emperor of the sea."

Chen Zuyi was talking all kinds of rhetoric to his men, when a younger brother broke in.

"Boss, our brothers in the north have received a letter. A fleet has arrived, with hundreds of ships."

As soon as he heard that business was coming, Chen Zuyi immediately called his brothers and all boarded the boat to go to sea.

Outside Temasek, robbed slaves and merchants were trading locally. The wealth created by these people is also an important source for them.

"With so many people going to sea, it looks like another fleet is going to be in trouble."

Several slaves looked at such a grand occasion, shook their heads and sighed.

The mighty fleet sailed on the ocean, and the pirates above were rejoicing. This must be another victory, and they just waited for the other party to hand over the money obediently.

While they were still setting sail, Mason prepared to review Nikephorus's style of play against the Venetian fleet in the Battle of Constantinople. In order to succeed, they brought all the artillery, muskets, and Greek fire. He also wrote a letter hoping that Peter could deliver more firearms and Greek fire. After all, they had few people, and the only thing that could deter the enemy was weapons.

Mason ordered the fleet to fan out and waited patiently. This kind of thing cannot be rushed. In order to make it more realistic, he also asked five ships to go and lure them. They would not fail to be fooled.

"Tell the ships to check their preparations, we will make them regret coming into this world."

Mason gave the order. He had staked everything on this operation. If he lost, it wouldn't matter if he went to jail, but the family's revenge would not be avenged.

Chen Zuyi took the entire fleet to the north. According to his younger brother, this fleet came from other countries and carried a large amount of gold and silver jewelry, about 2 million taels of silver.

2 million silver, this is a lot of money. Chen Zuyi thought that if he had this money, he could continue to recruit troops, and within five years, he could become the king of this area.

"Young men, if you see the ship soon, grab them all without leaving any survivors."

"yes"

Soon, several ships appeared in Chen Zuyi's field of vision. Based on the principle of "come and come", grabbing a few first would be a good start.

However, the other party also discovered Chen Zuyi's fleet. Seeing the opponent's huge fleet, these "merchant ships" ran away directly. Chen Zuyi was not surprised and directly ordered them to move forward at full speed.

"Sir, they are back."

Mason, who was discussing tactics, heard the words of his deputy and ran directly to the deck. The sailors standing on the mast reported the situation below.

“Get everything ready”

After nearly a year of training, the tacit understanding between the various ships is still good. As the flagship sent out a signal, they also began to form their troops.

While waiting anxiously, their target finally appeared. 300 ships from both sides met, and Chen Zuyi was happy to see so many ships at first, but then he thought, why didn't they run away? Could it be that they came specifically to find him.

No matter, he is the boss in this sea area, so go over with A first. In order to intimidate the opponent, he also took out the firecracker he kept at the bottom of the box, intending to break the opponent's courage when they were close.

"Cannon ready, fire!"

Following Mason's order, the artillery fired shells towards Chen Zuyi's fleet. The other party was quickly in a hurry. They did not expect that this person was specifically here to settle accounts with them.

"Don't panic, hold on tight, our musket is here, let's fire it."

The fire gun in Chen Zuyi's hand was obtained during a robbery ten years ago. Although it is a bit old, it is still powerful. It's just that the range is impressive, not even half that of the opponent's artillery.

"Get closer, bows and arrows ready!"

Since firearms are not available, use bows and arrows. As the two sides got closer, the archers began to fire, and the East India Company's fleet soon suffered casualties, but Mason continued to use artillery attacks, waiting for them to get closer.

"MD, this group of people has actually caused me so much damage. Tell the brothers that no one will be left behind when they get on the ship."

"Okay, boss, just watch it. Brothers, copy the guy."

When Liu Er roared, many pirates picked up their swords and prepared to join gangs to fight. Mason also saw the opportunity and asked people to prepare new gifts.

Close, even closer. Just as Liu Er was about to be the first to jump to the opposite side, the opponent's ship suddenly spurted out flames, and his whole body was directly covered in flames. Liu Er was in unbearable pain and fell directly into the sea.

"What, what is this?" Several crew members looked at the flames spurting out from the opponent's ship in disbelief. No matter how they put out the fire, the flames could not be extinguished. They could only watch the flames engulf their ship, and they could only jump into the sea to seek a chance of survival.
