Chapter 685： Eliminate pirates

The enemies on Taiwan’s main island are basically eliminated, but the surrounding area is not safe.

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

When the army attacked Tainan, the navy also started cleanup operations on the sea.

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

For the UOB Navy, the most important process to clean up pirates is to find the enemy's hiding place.

As long as they find their lair, the next battle will be much easier.

These pirates don't even have muskets, because for their small-scale battles, muskets are not as easy to use as a broad sword, and naturally they are lazy to equip them.

A group of pirates with cold weapons faced the Chinese army's musket troops, and it was really suffocated.

Several consecutive pirate dens were taken, and some pirates who received the news hurriedly packed their belongings, and then went to Southeast Asia and went to Luzon (Philippines) to mess around.

No way, you can only avoid it if you can't beat it.

Fight against Dahua's navy, these pirates can only be abused.

When going to Luzon, they can bully the natives of Southeast Asia.

It's just that the homeland is hard to leave. These pirates are not a last resort, and they are unwilling to leave the homeland of Dahua.

Some of the pirates who received the news escaped, and some of them simply hungered for a while.

As long as he escaped Dahua's suppression this time, he could live a normal life again.

After all, it is impossible for Dahua's navy to carry out such clean-up operations frequently.

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

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

After all, in this vast ocean, human beings seem very small.

Wanting to completely wipe out all the islands is simply unrealistic.

Many small islands are not marked on their maps.

Those surviving pirates are often small pirates. 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 a hiding place. The UOB Navy has long installed undercover agents.

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

The Huajun knew that Zheng Zhibao was on the Penghu Islands, and Zheng Zhibao also knew that the Huajun was going to sea.

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

With a big family and big business, there is no way to escape like other little pirates.

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

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

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

However, Zheng Zhilongguang's pirates numbered more than 3,000, and the number of his family members exceeded 10,000.

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

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

The big island must be near the route, and at the same time 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.

Until this moment, Zheng Zhibao was regretful.

If he knew this would happen, he should break his wrist and bring some people with him.

But now, it is difficult for him to escape.

"Order all to board the boat, scatter and rush out, it depends on God's will whether you can escape. The brothers who have escaped will gather in Luzon and resume their old career in Luzon."

Zheng Zhibao ordered.

This is a bit like a self-inflicted trap, but it is his best choice at the moment.

If you continue to stay on the island, that is the real dead end.

The Chinese army blocked the harbor, and they followed the rabbits without legs, waiting to be caught.

Now that he rushed out like this, he 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 the order, and his men immediately began to move in a hurry.

They have been entrenched on this island for several years and accumulated considerable wealth.

They regarded money as their fate, even if they escaped, they would not give up the money, as well as young women.

Some pirates still drag their families away, ruthlessly choosing to abandon them directly, while others choose to take them with them.

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

"No, Dahua Navy is here."

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

This voice scared many people directly.

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

"Don't install it anymore, lift the anchor, lift the anchor."

Zheng Zhibao shouted.

"Master, my mother hasn't boarded the ship yet."

Zheng Zhibao's concubine pleaded, but Zheng Zhibao was kicked into the sea.

At this time, any factors that would delay him, he would kick away mercilessly.

Zheng Zhibao's core team quickly set up an anchor to go to sea, and he no longer cares about the rest.

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

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

"It's naive to want to escape. Let the boiler workers add coal and raise the power to the highest level. I want these pirates to feel despair."

The captain laughed.

Pirate ships are generally lighter and lighter in order to gain the advantage of speed, so that they can catch up with merchant ships when they are fast.

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

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

"Give me desperate strokes."

Zheng Zhibao hurriedly said that in addition to being powered by sails, their boats can also be rowed manually.

Unfortunately, these were all in vain. Dahua's battleship got closer and closer until the gunfire sounded.

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

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

Zheng Zhibao's expression began to become numb, and facing Dahua's steam battleship, they could not fight back at all.

Even if their will to break into a deadly battle is useless, they don't even have the opportunity to get close to Dahua, and the Chinese army only needs to keep a distance from them and kill them with artillery to collapse.

"Disperse and escape, take care of yourself."

Zheng Zhibao used this method again.

There are eight ships in their fleet, and only five warships are chasing them. In theory, they still have three ships that can 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 shell can sink the pirates in threes or twos. Hit the mast and one shot can make their ship lose power.
