    With the black flag fluttering on the bow of the boat, Zhao Xiaoyi closed his eyes and recalled Tian Baozai's words in the martial arts hall that day.

    "In the past, the Five Banners had the same origin. The head of the Five Banners was a general under the command of King Yanping. Now that the Five Banners are withered, Xu Longsi and Baiying and his like, since they have been reduced to lackeys of the government, naturally they are not worthy of being the leaders of the Five Banners. I plan to reorganize the Five Banners.  Banner, choose a new leader of the Five Banners from among the leaders, and collect the remaining pirates who have been suppressed by the government in the past six years. It is also easy to deploy, "

    "Among the sixteen leaders, I am naturally the leader of the red flag. The leaders Xue Ba, Hu Bailing, and all the sailors of the eight hundred boats keep the red flag."

    "Zhao Xiaoyi is the leader of the black flag, Qian Tuo is the leader and assistant, and all the sailors on the ships are the black flag."

    "Zha Daozi is the leader of the white flag, my nephew"

    "Xu Chaoyi is the leader of the Yellow Flag, Zhong Cheng, Liao Wenrui"

    "As for the blue flag, the whereabouts of the Qianjun mark is unknown. The position of the dragon head is saved first, and the remaining 800 bows are used as the blue flag."

    "No matter what happened in the past, from now on, the Zheng family of Baodao has passed down the five banners, with Lantau Island as the orthodoxy."

    Zhao Xiaoyi came back to his senses. He raised the wine in his hand and looked at the sailors on the boat: "Brothers, whether you are an old brother who knows Zhao Xiaoyi well, or you just met me today. From now on, everyone will eat in the same stove. Let me first  Do it for your respect."

    After all, he drank the turbid wine in the bowl, and the Zheng family of Baodao guaranteed that he, the leader of the black flag, was justified.

    The pirates on the black flag ship drank together.

    Zhao Xiaoyi smashed the clay bowl, and the sound of breaking suddenly rang out.

    "Go to sea!"

    In the port intertwined with forests, the fleet with black flags moved first.  The fleet carrying nearly 6,000 people turned their bows to the west and left the port

    The black iron-clad fleet on the sea is in the shape of an arrow, and there are two kinds of flags planted on the ship, one is the Qinglong flag with a yellow background made of feather yarn, and the other is the red rice flag with a blue background.  Black smoke billowed from the ship's funnel, pulling a long trail across the sea.

    Qian Yongzhao was wearing a blue navy uniform with gold sleeves, a warm hat, and a binoculars in his hand, looking at the sea horizon against the faint mist.

    "Jingping Nanyang, this is the battle."

    He murmured in a low voice.

    "If you have a rich supervisor in charge, you will surely succeed in no time."

    Zhu Ben, the former righteous bandit and now the commander-in-chief of one side, approached Qian Yongzhao with his bulging blue satin patch, and he was not stingy with his compliments.  Xu Longsi followed behind, but didn't say a word.

    "Zhu Zongbing praised it absurdly. If the red flag can be raised in this battle, it is nothing more than a soldier's life. Qian does not dare to take the credit. Now the red flag island is full of thugs. According to Zhu Zongbing, before our fleet arrives at Lantau Island,  Who's going to take the lead?"

    Without hesitation, Zhu Ben said, "It must be Zhao Xiaoyi from the Black Flag gang in the past! He is new to Red Flag, and people suspect him. Tian Baozai will definitely use him as a striker."

    "Is that so?"

    Qian Yongzhao was noncommittal.

    "Then, who should be after Zhao Xiaoyi?"

    "Brother Chao Yi, congratulations!"

    On the treasure ship, several Gaoli ghost brothers couldn't help congratulating Xu Chaoyi.

    Although Xu Chaoyi had a high reputation in the past, except for his 100-mile elite soldiers, he had no commanding fleet, because he used to be the personal soldier of the tenth lady, and the leader of the red flag may not obey him. Now he has become the leader of the yellow flag, which is naturally gratifying  Congratulations.

    Xu Chaoyi didn't see much joy on his face.

    Zheng Xiu used Tian Baozai's name to discuss matters in the martial arts hall, and he also participated.  Xu Chaoyi has followed Mrs. Ten for many years, so he naturally knows the seriousness of being involved in this kind of thing. Although Tian Baozai doesn't care about it, he still calls him the leader of the Yellow Flag, but the elite soldiers of Gaoli Ghost have always been the personal guards of the leader of the Red Flag and the leader Zheng Xiu. He can't take him away.  .  Now there are only four or five people in front of him who are close friends. As for Zhong Cheng, Liao Wenrui, etc., they may not be convinced by themselves, the leader of the yellow flag.

    "Small punishment, big commandment."

    Xu Chaoyi pulled out the treasured sword at his waist, and all the depression in his chest was swept away.

    How can you know that it is not a blessing if you lose your horse?  Why did he, Xu Chaoyi, want to be a house slave following his wife's route for the rest of his life?  May I ask, in the past when he was married to Lantau Island from the Yellow Flag, who would have thought that Xu Chaoyi would one day be the leader of the Yellow Flag?

    Xu Chaoyi not only did not complain about Tianbaozai, but was even slightly grateful.

    "Leaders, go to sea!"

    Another sailing fleet of more than 4,000 people set off. The treasure ship was in the middle, with a yellow flag on the ship, and the bow was facing east, leaving the port

    "It must be Xu Chaoyi without a doubt! This person is the celebrity in front of Tian Baozai and Zheng Xiu.Zhao Xiaoyi's men are almost fighting, he will lead the red flag elite to fight our army to the death!  "

    Zhu Ben's mouth was watering.

    Qian Yongzhao nodded: "I've heard of this person, the Hongqi Gaoli ghost, who can make a hundred with one."

    "Er" Zhu Ben clasped his hands: "It's just spreading rumors. Then Xu Chaoyi was just a dowry and slave who followed Yan Gu to marry to Lantau Island. Bandits, what other great people can they appoint?"

    "Hahahaha~"

    Qian Yongzhao smiled, and asked again: "It is said that Zheng Xiu is precocious, and has a bit of demeanor who hated aunts in Nanyang back then. She shouldn't reuse house slaves who can only flatter horses, right?"

    Zhu Ben laughed and said, "It's hard to say about Tian Baozi. What about Zheng Xiu, hehe. Governor Qian, don't look at Zheng Xiu's claim to be the leader of the alliance, but she is actually just a little baby. She has the blood of the Zheng family of Baodao, and even Lantau Island is very nervous.  If you want me to tell you, Zheng Xiu must have prepared the boat a long time ago and told her to flee for her life."

    "If Hongqi could be like Hongmaozi, it would be all armored iron ships. Maybe it wouldn't be where it is today?"

    Looking at the sea, Zheng Xiu, everyone only remembered that the East India Company lost the siege of Guangzhou six years ago, but no one remembered that the ratio of the warship losses between the pirates and the East India Company was as high as 15 to 1, and the ratio of the number of people was as high as 35 to 1.  one.  Hundreds of thousands of Nanyang pirates attacked in groups, and with the cooperation of the government, they were able to repel the opponent.

    "It is useless to talk too much. As long as the government cooperates with the East India Company, it will be a matter of time before Lantau Island cannot be defended. After all, we only have one port and one island."

    Sohail stood beside Zheng Xiu.

    "Is it possible for Lantau Island to build an ironclad ship? Mr. Suo?"

    Sohail shook his head immediately: "Let's not talk about ironclad ships, even qualified pig iron, including the government, there is no power in Nanyang that can produce it. Tianbao leader tried to build an iron factory on Lantau Island, but the resources on the island are scarce, and the ore is transported by sea.  It cost a lot to come and give up in the end.¡±

    Sohail hesitated for a while, and then added: "As far as I know, Chief Zha has a new channel in his hands. He brought back a lot of novelty goods that I have never seen before, but the quantity is too small.  Maybe we can get a little good news from him."

    "Ah I?"

    Zha Xiaodao coughed, he didn't have any new shipping lanes, he just used the name of "Western Shipping and Trade" to bring over some materials and tools that were in short supply in Lantau Island but not in Nanyang.  For example, the three keels of Lin's treasure ship, and some ship parts, etc., but these all need to pass the strict review of Yan Zhaohui, and they can't solve the problem of iron-clad ships at all.

    "I just said it casually."

    Zheng Xiu smiled: "Uncle Cha, should we go?"

    "yes."

    Zha Xiaodao raised his hand, and a bannerman shot a sailfish, and a huge fleet of more than 8,000 people was launched, and the Weishenlou ship turned into a U shape and headed due south

    "If it is true what Zhu Zongbing said, this time the bandit suppression will definitely be a complete victory."

    Qian Yongzhao looked at the sea.

    Xu Longsi finally couldn't bear to speak up: "You can't say that, Governor Qian doesn't know something. That day, Baozi"

    Dang lang~

    The three of them turned their heads together, and it turned out that the cabin of a ship on the right side was emitting thick smoke. An old man with Mediterranean white hair and a dirty red suit staggered open the door, spitting out a yellowish mixture of wine and food.

    The siren sounded, and many guards in pointed leather shoes hurriedly prepared to put out the fire.

    Qian Yongzhao frowned: "Who is this person? Where does the combined fleet come from such idlers?"

    Zhu Ben mused: "Qian Du, this person seems to be a biological scientist with a huge gift from the East India Company.  Let's ignore him." (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
