The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

Chapter 881: Exterminate pirates (1)

Killing and setting fire to a gold belt is a general principle that has not changed through the ages.

Before the battle between the Hong Maofan task force and the Southeast Fleet, a large number of Hong Maofan armed merchant ships received wind and entered the seas of Southeast Asia ahead of time.

There are hundreds of ships and thousands of people!

Some have crossed the Strait of Malacca, and on the surface they are just doing business.

Some also came from the southern waterways of Sumatra. In the past, Hong Maofan was not so courageous. In the past, the ships that came would not be able to replenish them because they did not receive the documents issued by the southeast government.

Southeast Asia is the land of ten thousand islands. There are as many islands as cows, and there are less than a thousand islands under actual control. Even the big islands actually controlled by the Chinese have countless unknown harbors. Where can't you hide ships!

The ocean is boundless, extending in all directions, and boats can go anywhere. If you are not on the waterway, you will not encounter a passing ship for ten days.

When the two sides went to war, the sambals scattered in the waters fished in troubled waters, attacked Chinese villages and towns, and robbed Chinese ships!

In fact, those red hair fans used to be merchants, and they are still very regular in Southeast Asia. The Chinese in Southeast Asia are very powerful. Both the army and the police, and even the people, are quite aggressive. Even a few-year-old children can fire guns!

Even if Hong Maofan salivates over Chinese wealth, after all, they are individuals, unable to fight against many Chinese, so they have to deal with them honestly.

In fact, the Orchid has a bad character. When the Chinese regarded scholars as the master and emphasized benevolence and morality, the Orchid Queen Elizabeth I was transferred to the pirate queen, openly justifying the pirates, and regarded robbery as a virtue.

As long as he finds an opportunity, Hong Maofan becomes a gentleman into a pirate, as it is right now.

The demons are dancing!

They attacked the seaside Chinese settlements. Of course, they dare not provoke the crowded and tightly guarded places, but they will still attack the places with few people!

There are many Chinese ships on the sea. Merchant ships and fishing boats are not a problem. These years, as the Chinese became rich, the Chinese played yachts and enjoyed themselves very much.

However, for the armed merchant ships on board the Hong Maofan, the yacht is like a water fish, and it is easy to be eaten.

The Chinese certainly don’t catch them. They are living creatures by nature. Yan Changwu develops Southeast Asia. Every population is precious. Therefore, he concentrates on the people to live in groups, so he has strength. Moreover, he is not letting go. The people are all military training. Between the ages of men, men are reserve soldiers. They make guns. Women and children learn how to shoot guns!

Hong Maofan, who wants to make a fortune, finds depressed that it is not easy to clean up a small village, and a larger town can let them go home.

The reason is very simple. When women go into battle, their strength is doubled, which is the only way for me to rise from the sky.

Yan Changwu, who was born as a small soldier of the Celestial Dynasty, naturally understood that he developed a militia organization, the whole people were soldiers, and the enemy rushed forward.

Speaking of which, the Chinese are a very contradictory nation. When the time is right, they often let themselves go and do some amazing things, such as rebellion. For example, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang said, "Princes and generals, would you rather have a kind?"

But at the same time, they believe in authority, and they do what the leader says.

The government of the Southeast Government said that they would stand firm and clear the country. They guarded the dead, defended their homeland, and escorted ships in and out of the country.

As a result, Hong Maofan's life is sad.

It is difficult for them to conquer Chinese territory, and it is difficult for them to rob ships, without supplies.

Not only that, the cruise ships and frigates of the Southeast Mansion are like hunting dogs, constantly searching for the red-haired fan ship!

All the Hong Maoban boats are required to report to the Southeast Government, otherwise all the boats caught will be confiscated and the personnel will be exiled.

The cruise ship has 28 guns, streamlined hull, rigid structure, fast speed and fierce firepower!

When the Hong Maofan meets the cruiser, almost all ends are finished, and they can't even escape.

Because the cruise ship has an 8-pounder cannon, this type of cannon can destroy even the bulwarks of battleships, so it's not a matter of dealing with merchant ships.

The frigate is half smaller than the frigate. It has a single mast and can move forward with oars when there is no wind. It has 4 guns. It inherits the tradition of the Southeast Cannon. They are equipped with 2 pound artillery.

Although the frigate belongs to the local garrison, the crew is tenacious in fighting, the salary is not bad (equivalent to 80 of the regular army), and there is extra money---the bonus after the ship and the person who caught the unlicensed red-headed ship were sold. Everyone is divided, so cruisers and frigates are very keen on patrolling and anti-smuggling. When encountering an enemy and daring to fight, one frigate daring to pick two armed merchant ships of Hong Maofan is the thorn in the eye of Hong Maofan!

Hong Maofan attacked the Chinese often, and the Chinese chased Hong Maofan from time to time.

Look, in the turquoise waters, the "Kaohsiung 00" cruise ship overtook an armed merchant ship "Knight" with the Dutch flag, and the smoke plume rose high on the coast in the distance. It was a Chinese village that was "Knight". The red hair on the top broke and was looted.

But the Hong Maofan who returned to the ship was not happy too early. They just left the coast when they saw the cruise ship approaching them.

The "Knight" was overtaken!

The officers and soldiers on the "Kaohsiung No. 00" saw the unshaven and haggard faces on the other ship, and the skinny red hair fans were throwing cages, boxes, boards, etc. into the sea in a panic. There were a few ducks in the water from the cages. Swim out, a panicked cat stood on top of a box...

The officers and soldiers were itching with hatred: "This bunch of white-skinned beasts, grab everything!"

Captain Ding of "Kaohsiung 00" exclaimed: "Listen to the order, don't shoot!"

Captain Ding is very young, less than thirty years old, but he has been at sea for twenty years, with old experience, and the plan is forced to go forward and end the battle as soon as possible with the combat strategy of using artillery bayonet.

He knew very well about the artillery battle during the sailing period. If you are unlucky, everyone will not be able to sink the opponent if you light up the cannonball one day. He is afraid that the night will be long and dreamy, and he can't let the red-haired fan get retribution and escape without being able to pay for it.

The two boats are parallel, getting closer and closer, and when one hundred meters, the other side fired!

But they played very slowly, and the number was small. There were only six sideboard guns, all of which were pound guns. They did not cause much damage on the "Kaohsiung 00".

The helmsman of "Kaohsiung 00" slammed the right rudder according to the captain's instructions, so that the ship just got the wind, and the distance was close to 30 meters in a short time!

Then Captain Ding gave an order: "Fight!"

The artillery blasted ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ volley of guns.

Four starboard guns fired deafeningly. In 4, they hit the "Knight" fir tree gang and upstairs.

"Good fight!" "Kaohsiung 00" rang out with cheers. In the moment of silence after the cheers, Captain Ding heard the chaotic call from the deck of the opponent's ship, and then Hong Maofan's cannon fired again, but Very messy, a shell flew through the air just two meters above Captain Ding's head.

"Kaohsiung No. 00" replied to Hong Mao Fan. The Chinese fired all rounds of artillery, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, seven consecutive volleys, and the sound of the guns was very harmonious.

Captain Ding even took out his pocket watch to watch the timing during his busy schedule, shooting an average of once a minute!

Not only was it played fast, but it was also accurate. It made the "Knight" lean to the right, the wood chips and sawdust were scattered, and the entire Oramas was baptized!

"The kids did a good job!" He exclaimed contentedly, not in vain for training them.

Suddenly, a red hairy's stout arm grabbed his arm and said, "They gave the order to board the ship!"
