I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

The enemy on the island of Taiwan has basically been eliminated, but the surrounding area is not safe.

There are also a large number of pirates on the surrounding islands.

When the army attacked Tainan, the navy also began clearing operations at sea.

According to the intelligence of some spies, they killed the suspicious islands.

For the Dahua Navy, the most important process of clearing up pirates is to find the enemy's hiding place.

Once they have found their home, the next battle will be much easier.

These pirates didn't even have muskets, because for small-scale battles like theirs, muskets were not as easy to use as big swords, and naturally they were lazy to equip them.

A group of pirates with cold weapons, facing the breech gun troops of the Chinese army, it would be really embarrassing and embarrassing.

Several pirate dens in a row were taken, and some pirates who received the news hurriedly packed up their belongings, then went to the South China Sea and went to Luzon (Philippines) to mingle.

There is no way, but you can only avoid it.

Fighting with Dahua's navy, these pirates only get abused.

But when they go to Luzon, they can bully those natives of the South Seas.

It's just that the homeland is difficult to leave, these pirates are not a last resort, and they are not willing to leave the homeland of Dahua.

Some of the pirates who received the news escaped, while others simply took a fluke and hibernated temporarily.

As long as he escapes Dahua's suppression this time, he will be able to live a normal life in the future.

After all, it is impossible for Dahua's navy to often engage in such clearing operations.

Most of these lucky people will be caught by the Dahua Navy.

Of course, there are also a few lucky ones who really escaped.

After all, in this vast sea, human beings are very small.

It is simply unrealistic to want to completely wipe out all the islands.

Many small islands are not marked on their maps.

Those surviving pirates are often small pirates, and the big pirate groups have large dens, and it is difficult to hide.

Among them, Zheng Zhibao is the largest group of pirates, so they don't need to look for their hiding places. The Dahua Navy has already installed undercover agents.

At this time, the undercover agent led the way, and they went straight to Zheng Zhibao's old lair, the Penghu Islands.

Hua Jun knew that Zheng Zhibao was in the Penghu Islands, and Zheng Zhibao also knew that Hua Jun was going to sea.

However, he was hesitant before, and did not escape in time.

The family has a big business, and there is no way to escape as easily as other little pirates.

On the one hand, he was reluctant to be part of the family business and this good place.

On the other hand, he has no good place to go for the time being.

Other little pirates can just find a small island and rob one or two merchant ships a year to make ends meet.

However, there are more than 3,000 pirates under Zheng Zhi Longguang, and the number of family members has exceeded 10,000.

So many people want to eat, but they can't just find a place to feed.

At least you have to find a big island, while looting, farming, and trading.

The big island must be near the route, and the island needs to be able to farm, and the power on the island must not be too strong.

In short, many factors have caused Zheng Zhibao to be extremely entangled.

Before he made a decision, Dahua's navy was about to come to the door.

Until this moment, Zheng Zhibao felt remorse.

If I had known that this would happen, the strong man should have broken his wrist and brought some people with him to evacuate.

And now, it is difficult for him to escape.

"I ordered all of them to board the ship and rush out. Whether they can escape is up to God. Brothers who escaped, gather in Luzon and resume their old business in Luzon."

Zheng Zhibao ordered.

It's a bit like throwing himself into the net, but it's his best option right now.

If you continue to stay on the island, it will be a real dead end.

When Hua Jun blocked the port, they followed the legless rabbit and could only wait to be caught.

If you rush out like this now, you might be able to escape part of it.

After all, there are roads everywhere on the sea, as long as you are not afraid of getting lost.

Zheng Zhibao gave an order, and his men immediately started to act in a hurry.

They settled on the island for several years and accumulated considerable wealth.

They regard money as their life, even if they run away, they will not give up the money and young women.

There are also some pirates who still bring their families and family, and ruthlessly choose to abandon them directly, while others choose to bring them.

A large number of people and things were loaded in the port, and the whole scene was chaotic.

"No, the Dahua Navy is here."

A person in charge of observation put down the telescope and hurriedly shouted.

This voice directly scared a lot of people.

Having seen Dahua's ships, there is little time left for them to escape.

"Don't install any more, lift the anchor, lift the anchor."

Zheng Zhibao shouted.

"Master, my mother hasn't gotten on the boat yet."

Zheng Zhibao's concubine begged and was kicked into the sea by Zheng Zhibao.

At this time, any factor that would delay him, he would ruthlessly kick it away.

Zheng Zhibao's core team quickly lifted anchor and went to sea, and he had left the rest.

He didn't cry without seeing the coffin. Now he saw Dahua's navy, it was like seeing his own coffin, and he was about to cry.

.

"My lord, an enemy fleet wants to escape."

"It's naive to want to escape. Let the boiler process coal and increase the power to the highest level. I want these pirates to feel what despair is."

The captain laughed.

Pirate ships are generally relatively light, in order to take advantage of speed, so that they can catch up with merchant ships.

However, the speed that the pirates are proud of is still slightly inferior to the steam warships of the Chinese army.

Afterwards, thick smoke billowed from the chimney of the ship, and several steam battleships quickly approached Zheng Zhibao and others.

"Give me a death row."

Zheng Zhibao hurriedly said that in addition to being powered by a sail, their boat could also be rowed manually.

Unfortunately, these were all in vain, and Dahua's battleship got closer and closer until the sound of cannons.

The distance between the two sides was already within the firing range of the artillery.

"It's over, it's over, it's over."

Zheng Zhibao's expression became numb. Facing Dahua's steam battleship, they were powerless to fight back.

Even if they can break out the will to fight to the death, it is useless. They don't even have the chance to get close to Dahua. They only need to keep a distance from them and kill them with artillery until they collapse.

"Fleeing away, take care of yourself."

Zheng Zhibao used this method again.

Their fleet has eight ships, and only five warships are chasing them. In theory, they have three more ships to escape.

Of course, this is only theoretical.

Dahua's warships are equipped with large-caliber artillery, and they also carry solid bullets.

The power of that kind of shells can sink the pirates in three or two rounds. Hit the mast and one shot can knock their boat out of power.
