    ?

    "Zheng Xiu? Who is Zheng Xiu?"

    Tang Ruola was stunned.

    The soldier who reported the letter couldn't tell clearly, but said reservedly: "This is the daughter of a great pirate."

    Tang Ruola wrinkled his face together, he muttered a few words, drank the fresh green tea in the cup, and then said: "Take me to see Sir Alex."

    Alex Bech, the highest-ranking manager sent by the East India Company this time, graduated from Eton College, a member of the House of Commons, and once served as Senior Secretary to Governor Hastings and Commodore of the British Navy.

    And when Tang Ruola saw Sir Alex, she was taken aback by the eyes of this tough young man who had just turned thirty.

    "My lord, there is one thing that I must inform you."

    "The coalition forces of the Nanyang pirates are approaching, and the vanguard may even encounter a direct encounter. I already know"

    Tang Ruola nodded.

    "It'sanother thing."

    With a strange tone, Alex handed over the exquisite parchment in his hand.

    Tang Ruola glanced at the palm aimlessly, his pupils shrank suddenly, and the age spots on his face trembled.

    One of the best tacticians in the history of Europa, under the command of His Majesty the French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, Andre, known as the "Son of Victory", led a French army of 70,000 to the eastern city of Almeida in Portugal.  The only one with combat effectiveness is an English reinforcement army of less than 20,000 people

    "Bishop Tang Ruola, what do you think?"

    asked Sir Alex.

    Tang Ruola replied with difficulty: "I think, if the situation in the Far East becomes stalemate, maybe we can consider"

    "Then don't put him in a stalemate, we need a quick fight."

    Alex clenched his fists: "It is because the situation is tight that we want to guarantee the interests of the Far East. When we hear the news, the war may have already started. This is not our intervention, but the huge benefits are right in front of us."  , Your Excellency, we are only one step away from success."

    Bishop Tang Ruola was speechless for a long time. After an unknown period of time, he nodded lightly: "I, I understand."

    More than fifty English warships were all defeated in the end, and only twenty-two escaped. The rest were either sunk by artillery, or were wiped out by the pirates of the Hongcai coalition forces during the boarding battle, and even the ships and people were captured.  .

    "The first battle was won, and the Red Flag Gang is very powerful. I have seen it today."

    On the deck, Cai Qian and Li Yan stood side by side. He was wearing a long mandarin jacket with yellow patterns on a purple background, and his words were half compliments, half admiration.

    Cai Qian knew the difference between the strong ships of the foreigners and the quality of the soldiers and the pirates. A few days ago, the Portuguese prosecutor Barros led a team to tear through the government's defense line. Seventy thousand people from both sides confronted each other at sea.  The division collapsed at the first touch, with more than 10,000 casualties, and the losses of the Portuguese were unbelievably double digits!

    It was also this battle that allowed the government's navy generals to see clearly that the current government army is far from being a match for these tigers and wolves who came from afar, so they shrunk their defenses, gave up naval battles, and defended according to danger. Unfortunately, they failed in the end.  Back to the days.

    But today, the red-haired sailors who were called monsters by the officers and soldiers were caught off guard and tasted the taste of failure. More than a thousand sailors were lost, and they were still in the hands of a group of pirates.

    Previously, Cai Qian had tried his best to evaluate the bravery of the Red Flag Pirates and the sophistication of their ship's artillery, but now, he still underestimated them.  Considering that Tian Baozai has been the leader of Hongqi for less than a month, the solidity of this foundation has to be credited to the late Yanhou.

    After this battle, Cai Qian couldn't help sighing that although Tianbaozai is now unparalleled in bravery, he can be said to be unstoppable, but after a sea battle, he is strange and disgusted, and his actions can make a hundred miles of red water.  It is dreadful.

    Remembering the years when this woman was still alive, the other four banners are also willing to dormant.  The Five Flags Alliance is indeed the biggest fist in Nanyang.  Obviously one level higher than the other four pirates.

    But those days are gone forever

    Hearing Cai Qian's flattery, Li Yan shook his head: "The manpower is several times that of the opponent's, the boat is a little short, and it's not as bad as the sky, and the red hair is not overpowered, so you can't win this game, just wipe your neck.  What's more, the loss of our ships and manpower is twice that of our opponents, so there is nothing to brag about."

    Li Yan had calculated in his mind that in this appetizing battle alone, the loss of the Hongcai coalition army, converted into silver, was about 300,000 taels, which was enough for him and Zha Xiaodao combined to kill them.  The harvest gained¡­

    The Lingyun treasure tree supported by all the trees has such a pattern.

    Thinking of this, Li Yan picked up a single-eyed musket equipped with a sailor, and fired a test shot, staring at the hole in the grass target, and reckoned in his heart: "It is more powerful than Sudu's feathers.  body, it doesn't matter."

    Cai Qian smiled: "By the way, Tianbao leader, after this encounter, there are about four or five hundred prisoners. How do you plan to arrange them?"

    Li Yan rolled his eyes and snorted: "The battle is so intense that I don't have time to guard against them, and this group of votes is hard to deal with, so I just cut my throat and threw it into the sea. Save trouble."

    Cai Qian was stunned, and hurriedly dissuaded: "Just killing these foreigners like this will not only arouse the other party's indignation, but also be too cruel. Wouldn't it be better to keep them and let them spend money to redeem them after they win the British-Portuguese coalition forces?"  better?"

    "Cruel? When Hong Mao stabs my brother, isn't he cruel? This time, Boss Cai's people are just beating the side drums, so it's natural and easy, but my Hongqi brothers lost more than two thousand people. If we don't kill them, what's the point?"  Keep it for the Chinese New Year? As for the redemption, you know that we will win the battle, and if you let this group of sailors cause trouble, it is not your brother who will be lost."

    Cai Qian took off his melon skin hat and brushed his hair, smiled wryly and shook his head: "Brother Tianbao, this is not the first time you and I have dealt with each other, why are you showing this face to discuss business again? Let's be honest, this counterattack, we  There is more than 70% certainty that you can win the battle. There is no need to talk about the bizarre story of prisoners breaking prisons and making trouble. I want the leader Xiuer to make a promise to spare the red hair who surrendered and take all the prisoners of this Nanyang War.  , send them all to me."

    "Hey, my brother shed blood so hard, you asked me to give you the captive Besides, the other handsome leaders may not agree, right?"

    This counterattack was given to the official titles of the pirate leaders, which imitated the system of the thirty-six marshals of the Yellow Turban Uprising, and the five major pirate chiefs were named the five marshals.

    Of course, it's just a title, so it can't be true.

    "How much silver do you want to redeem, Brother Tianbao, please set a price."

    "Hehe, I bought it from me, and then sold it to Hongmao. I also earned friendship. Boss Cai has done a good business."

    "This business, you can't wait to do it, right?"

    "I don't care for silver. The demand for Hongqi was mentioned in Ryukyu Island back then. Boss Cai's words really embarrass me."

    Li Yan squinted his eyes: "I really have something, I want Boss Cai to help."

    "Speaking."

    "In the hands of Lin Ajin, how did the Quanlanghai ghost get it?"

    Cai Qian frowned when he heard the words: "Quan Lang's cultivation skills are rare, and it's the secret of Lin's surname. It's like the Chufu Yansheng in the hands of Yan Gu, and the Taiping Wenshu in Zhang He's hands. I can't get it."  , Tianbao leader's appetite is too great."

    "This is strange, Gaoli ghost, Quanlang's species is a set, and his surname is only Quanlang's. Where did that Ao Xing get the refining method of our Five Banners Alliance's Gaoli ghost?"

    Cai Yaohui: "It seems that Lin Ajin got it from a confidant of Mrs. Guo because of the civil strife in the black flag. Of course, I also heard it."

    Li Yan immediately said: "Let's do this, let's forget about the method. You negotiate with the Lin family, I want the Lin family to raise a red flag for me, and train a Quanlanghai ghost to come out! This should be no problem."

    "I'll do my best."

    "Then I'll just wait for good news from Boss Cai."

    The two talked in a few words, the vast fleet of soldiers joined together, and the front of the soldiers pointed directly at Guangzhou Bay.  Unexpectedly, countless black masts protruded from the sea in the sky, and the waves rolled over. An imposing fleet of black three-masted sailing ships, entangled with a large number of silver Vasco battleships, was quietly waiting for the arrival of the Red-Cai coalition forces (Remember this site  URL: www.hlnovel.com
