Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 750 Victory Is That Simple

Chen Zuyi wanted to escape, but he already realized that something was wrong.Although he has been traveling across Southeast Asia for a long time, some natives and foreign countries around him are helpless in the face of his pirate group.

It's just that for these pirates, it may not be that simple to escape.

The sentinel ships of the Ming Fleet have already left the fleet at this moment, and are quickly approaching the pirate ship.Seeing that the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty seemed to be about to do something, some pirates also looked a little flustered at this time.

They are indeed criss-crossing the sea, but most of the time they rely on their blood, or they bully the few with more and so on.Even some senior pirates have a lot of blood and courage.

But these people are mobs after all, not officers and soldiers who have undergone some training.Seeing the huge fleet of the Ming Dynasty and seeing those tall ships, many pirates actually began to feel timid.

boom

boom

The artillery on the Fuchuan started to blare. Although the solid shells basically fell into the sea, the loud sound made many pirates frightened.Many pirates have never experienced this, which is different from the merchant ships they usually come into contact with.

The bombardment did not achieve any results, but it dealt a severe blow to the arrogance of some pirates.This also caused the pirate ships, which seemed to have some formations, to become chaotic, and some pirates wanted to escape at this time.

砰

砰

Suddenly a sentinel boat appeared about 100 meters to the left of Chen Zuyi's ship, and he saw a dozen officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty holding firecrackers.The pirate leader Chen Zuyi has seen these things before, and knows that those firecrackers are also somewhat powerful.

For the time being, he felt at ease, because his ship was taller and bigger than the sentinel ship, so there was basically nothing to worry about.However, many of the bullets fired by those firecrackers fell into the sea and hit a small pirate ship nearby.

There were screams in an instant. Chen Zuyi saw some of his brothers were injured, and one unlucky guy was even hit on the head. It seemed that he was also dead.

No, how can it be so easy to use firearms at sea?Are the gunpowder of the Ming Dynasty not afraid of getting wet?

In fact, Chen Zuyi was quite knowledgeable. He was able to pull together a pirate group with tens of thousands of people, even if many of them were coerced.But over the years, he has come into contact with some things one after another.

As far as firearms are concerned, gunpowder is generally in the form of powder. Not to mention that those things are not easy to use at sea, even in places like Nanyang, gunpowder often agglomerates and cannot be fired.

Yu Tongyuan and Ma Sanbao stood on the broad bow of the ship, and when they saw sentry ships and others starting to chase the pirates, they knew that the overall situation was settled, and it seemed that there was nothing to worry about.

Looking at the gunpowder guns with gunpowder smoke, the roar of artillery ringing in their ears from time to time also let them know that this is a big battle.

But at this time, we also need to thank His Majesty the Emperor. His Majesty the Emperor is indeed far-sighted.Don't look at many people saying that His Majesty has put the cart before the horse and has been providing talents, money and food for the Ministry of Engineering.Some scholars even felt that if His Majesty devoted the resources of cultivating craftsmen to the cultivation of scholars, the Ming Dynasty would have been full of Confucian scholars long ago.

This is not an exaggeration. In fact, the Ministry of Engineering did spend a lot of resources, which made many scholars feel dissatisfied.

But so what, there have been many discussions even in the court over the years, but His Majesty has always insisted on cultivating craftsmen.Many craftsmen even got official positions because of this, making those orthodox Confucian scholars jump anxiously.

A veteran like Yu Tongyuan knows how useful His Majesty's Academy of Engineering is, such as the firearms used now.

Compared with those firearms of 30 or [-] years ago, the firearms of the Ming Dynasty are now more powerful.Let's not talk about casting techniques, because it doesn't seem to have changed much.

But gunpowder is different. It used to be some powder gunpowder, and I was really afraid of rain and fog.But now these gunpowders have actually become granules, which is much more convenient to transport and use.You don't have to do the ratios like you did at the beginning, when you have to get ready for battle.

It is not a problem to use firearms on the ocean. As long as you pay a little attention, you don't need to worry about the firearms getting wet.

Chen Zuyi was in a panic now. Although some brothers escaped, more brothers seemed to be surrounded.The fleet of the Ming Dynasty not only had those big ships that looked like mountains, but also various small ships.

The big ship in front was bombarded with artillery, and the left and right sides were also blocked.The only remaining gap to get out is getting smaller and smaller now, and the boats of the Ming Dynasty are about to close up.

Suddenly, Chen Zuyi began to panic, and some flames suddenly appeared at the gap.Those people in the Ming Dynasty were attacking with fire, and they are now burning ships, which will inevitably cause greater panic and confusion.

Yu Tongyuan couldn't help but said to Ma Sanbao, "I thought it was a thuggish bandit, but it was still a bit hard to destroy. I didn't know that it was nothing more than that, and it was not the enemy of the court."

Ma Sanbao knew a little bit about military affairs anyway, and said, "If they are allowed to hide on land, it will take time and effort to destroy these people. It's just that they want to wrestle with the imperial court on the ocean, which is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. They are so overconfident It's not worth worrying about the court."

Yu Tongyuan and Ma Sanbao also had reason to be so proud, because they were backed by the Ming court, and they had elite soldiers and the most advanced weapons in their hands.Dealing with these seemingly powerful pirates is also at the crushing level, so there is no need to worry too much.

For Chen Zuyi, and for his pirate group, now is really the end.

Because the fleet of the Ming Dynasty began to encircle, these pirates have been besieged.It is true that some people escaped, but those people obviously lost their courage, and now they just ran away, only hating that their boat was too slow and afraid of being hunted down by officers and soldiers.

In such a situation, don't talk about coming back to support, it is a good thing not to add trouble at this time.

Chen Zuyi knew the pirates under his command too well, he would swarm up when it was beneficial, and flee in all directions when saving his life.If it weren't for his usual prestige and methods, he wouldn't be able to subdue these rebellious people.

Now that disaster is imminent, some boats are hiding behind their companions, and they have no intention of going to rescue them when they see their companions fall into the water.Even in order to rush out of the encirclement, some large ships would directly run over those accomplices in the sea, and even knock over the small boats in front of them.

Now everyone is just thinking about saving their lives, so there is no benevolence, justice or morality.Loyalty and so on are just talking about while drinking and having fun, who really takes those loyalty seriously?

Originally, he was thinking about feigning surrender, thinking about going for a surprise attack, but now it seems that the eunuch of the Ming Dynasty had no good intentions from the beginning!

The terrified Chen Zuyi knew that his end was coming. His boat was big and he could show off his power at ordinary times.But now he couldn't escape at all, he couldn't escape those sentinel boats of Ming Dynasty, and he couldn't stop the condescending shooting of Gao Da Fu Chuan.

Pirate ships were burned down, or the pirates on board were shot to death. Even if a few brave pirates were able to defeat the Ming army occasionally, that was only a small part.More often, the pirates were defeated, killed, or could only kneel on the ship and surrender without any resistance.
This is the army of the Ming Dynasty reaping military exploits, it is such a simple thing.These pirates who do harm to one side and dominate the king seem to be just yesterday's flowers, and there may be some leftovers that can be lucky for the rest of their lives, but they may not have the courage to fight Daming again, and there is no way to have such a big one. power.

Although this seems to be an unfair war, wars have never been fair at all.

The army of the Ming Dynasty was stronger and their weapons were more advanced, which is why they can now encircle and suppress pirates.

If the Ming army was not strong enough, then the pirates might have boarded the ship, and maybe these vicious-looking pirates were brandishing butcher knives and slaughtering the officers and soldiers of Ming Dynasty.

The truth is that simple, big fists are enough, and there is really no morality to talk about on the battlefield.The strong survived and reaped merit and glory, and the fate of the loser is actually doomed, that is to become a military exploit, and use your head to become a winner's military exploit.

Ping An was a little excited, looking at the big boat not far away, he shouted, "Don't burn that boat, and catch the bandit leader!"

Chen Zuyi was nothing more than a bandit, at most he was just a big bandit, and safety might not be a concern.However, if this bandit leader who dominates Nanyang and even establishes his own prestige is captured alive, this can also be offered as a prisoner.

Although it is not a great contribution, His Majesty is not likely to offer prisoners at the temple, and even His Majesty is too lazy to see such a bandit leader.However, if such a gangster can be caught, it will be a credit.

For the living, sometimes it is more useful to be killed by the dead, and the bandit leader who was captured alive was sent to the Tianfu to rectify the law, which must make His Majesty even more happy.

This is also the best warning, the so-called thieves are not worth mentioning in front of Master Daming.

There was not just one soldier who had the same thoughts as Ping An, and of course he was credited for killing Chen Zuyi.But in this war that is destined to win a big victory, if it can be more perfect, then it will be better.

Looking at the fiery red in front of him, seeing his subordinates howling and panicking, Chen Zuyi, the cunning and cunning pirate leader, is now left with nothing but desperation.He knew that the possibility of him being able to escape was extremely low, but he was still making the last effort, thinking of having the last chance.

But at the next moment, he lost his chance, and his confidant, who was usually kind, suddenly restrained him.

"Down! We're down!"

"The bandit leader Chen Zuyi was captured by us!"

Surrender, that can't be surrendered casually.Being able to save one's life is the most important thing, but if one surrenders with some qualifications, one might not only save one's life, one might have a chance to gain glory and wealth.

And now the most valuable person on this boat must be Chen Zuyi.He was the leader of the pirates, and he was bound to be captured or killed by Master Daming.Dedicating him to Master Daming now might give him a way out.

As for the fact that Chen Zuyi might have treated them well before, but that also depends on the situation.I used to help Chen Zuyi plunder a lot in the past. I just followed him to eat, drink and play, and domineering. I didn't think that I would really work for him, and I didn't think that I would be buried in the bottom of the sea with him!
And don't talk about morality with pirates. If they had morality, they wouldn't burn, kill, loot and do all kinds of evil in the ocean.These people have no morals in their bones, and these people are a group of lawless bandits.

Chen Zuyi was cursing and struggling, but it didn't seem to have any effect at all.Now he is just a bereaved dog, and now he is just a talent for promotion in the eyes of some people, and he is just a credit in the eyes of some people.

This so-called great pirate was no longer a powerful pirate who made all the Nanyang countries pay tribute, but a captive of Ming Dynasty.

And his fate is definitely doomed, he must be punished, and he may still live for a while.

It's just that he can only be imprisoned in the cage tremblingly, terrified and uneasy, and wait until the moment he is sent to Yingtian Mansion by him, that is, the moment when he dies.

This battle does not seem to be small in scale, and in fact it is not particularly fierce.The boards floating on the sea, or some corpses, including some pirates are still howling to survive.

But all of this also means that this war is over, and the powerful Chen Zuyi pirate group has just been destroyed.

These can probably be regarded as a blow to the Southeast Asian countries by the Deming Fleet. Chen Zuyi, who they have no choice but to even fear, is already a prisoner of Deming at this moment.Destroying such a pirate group, Da Ming seemed to have no bloodshed.

If you want to be an enemy of Daming, then you have to weigh it carefully.Even a pirate can't deal with it, let alone the terrifying and powerful army of the Ming Dynasty.

Shi Jinqing looked a little excited, he knew he was right.He is about to become the master of the old port, and he seems to be qualified to have his own strength in this land and this ocean.

Backed by the mountains, he must be a good consolation envoy of the old port. As long as he can bring some benefits to the Ming Dynasty, his status can be guaranteed.

It is not shabby to pay tribute to Daming. My family is originally a poor family who went to sea to survive, so it is not bad to survive.It would also be a relief to be able to dominate the land of the natives now.

Shame or not, there is nothing to care about at all.As long as you get actual benefits, that's enough, and these are actually the most fundamental.

Old Port without Chen Zuyi would be the best.The new Three Buddha Qi does not necessarily belong to Liang Daoming.

He Liang Daoming can be king and rule those natives, why can't I, Shi Jinqing, have my own land in this land?
What's more, I have taken refuge in the army of the Ming Dynasty, and I have a backer!
