They knew that the pirates' marksmanship was quite accurate, so they used light skills and began to walk among the pirates. They used swords and were extremely fast. The pirates didn't even wear armor, and it was too easy to kill them.
The pirates had never seen Chinese kung fu, they just thought they were quicker in movement, and at the moment when the tiger head threw the sampan, the soldiers on the warship also set up the sampan towards the pirate ship at the same time, and both sides attacked the pirate ship at the same time.
Lin Chengxiu was in command of suppressing the pirates on the pirate ship, and there were four tiger-headed people on the pirate ship. Daqi soldiers boarded the pirate ship one after another. Lin Chengxiu saw that everyone was fighting, and the foreigners were strong and Qi people suffered a lot, and immediately shouted: " The three of them form a formation to kill the enemy and cannot be scattered..."
The ammunition on the pirate ship was almost used up, and the only remaining ammunition was used on the four fast-moving tiger heads, so when they faced the Daqi soldiers, they all took out their swords, cold weapons against cold weapon.
Lin Chengxiu was not afraid of fighting with swords, and immediately ordered the soldiers to line up to kill the enemy.
They have long known that the foreigners are taller and stronger than their counterparts, so they usually practice rehearsal and formation.
One of them is no match for them, then two, three, five, they have a way to grind them.
Lin Chengxiu commanded from the side of the battlefield, and quickly gathered the soldiers to advance in an orderly manner. The morale of the soldiers was high, and they quickly occupied half of the ship, forcing the remaining twenty or so people to the stern.
The pirate chief looked at his companion who fell on the deck, gritted his teeth, and whispered to the people around him, "Jump into the sea!"
The tiger raised his eyebrows and looked at the little lion. The figures quickly flashed up to the leaders and smashed them into the middle of the soldiers. The two dark guards understood their meaning as soon as they saw the little masters move. They were taller than them. It was too fast, and four more people were thrown over in an instant, and the other pirates immediately jumped into the sea, with only two breaths of effort.
The soldiers reacted a little slower, but they were quickly divided into two teams. One team held guns and arrows to shoot people who fell into the sea, and the other team tied the eight people who came over. In order to prevent them from committing suicide, they were quick to kill them. Chin removed.
Lin Chengxiu walked over quickly, glanced at the eight prisoners, nodded and said, "Yes, immediately drag it back to the cabin to torture and interrogate, and spread out in this sea area to search, and no pirates are allowed to escape."
"Report, sir, we don't understand bird language."
"Go to Patriarch Zhou, he understands."
The tiger head and the little lion immediately volunteered: "Lord, let's go, they just spoke English, we learned it."
Captain Lin glanced at them and said indifferently, "You are responsible for cleaning the battlefield and searching for escaped pirates."
Don't think that he didn't see the warning glances of the two guards behind the two of them. This is understandable. After all, torture to extract confessions is a detour. The two young masters are still young, and they really shouldn't look at these things.
On the third day after Lin Chengxiu and others annihilated the pirates, Guangzhou port sent a group of vanguards noisily, followed by two warships and merchant ships that needed to be escorted to the sea, heading for the Indian Ocean.
And the pirates in the pirate den received a letter from Andre, knowing that Daqi sent troops to seek justice for the merchants of Daqi.
Although several pirates exchanged news, they were not actually on the same island. After all, they belonged to different countries and camps. Therefore, after they made up their minds and acted accordingly, they decided to take the opportunity to teach them a lesson after seeing the troops dispatched by Daqi. Or stay out of the limelight.
And it is precisely because they are independent that they did not discover in time that an island occupied by England has never been heard back.
But that small island is just a small island controlled by England, not the main force, so everyone doesn't care about it.
You must know that England not only occupies a large coastal area of India, but also occupies a lot of nearby islands. They only need to discuss with the governor of India, and do not need to send people to each island to discuss.
This also gave Lin Chengxiu and others more time to extract confessions from the captives.
However, the captives were far more stubborn than they thought, and they had to find a small island to stop at and focus on questioning.
It has been three days since they pried the mouths of the two pirates. They only have one boat, so it is impossible to fight all the pirates in the Indian Ocean, and their firearms and ammunition are not enough.
Lin Chengxiu's strategy was to capture a weak island first, occupy it as their supply base, and then wait for reinforcements to arrive.
Then he tried to get the merchants' goods back.
learned from the mouths of the two pirates in Songkou that although the foreigners in this area agreed to rob only Daqi people, their hearts were not aligned, and there were many contradictions and conflicts between them.
Not to mention the political dictates of their own country, they are constantly fighting for this area of the sea, because there are so many merchant ships in Daqi, you have seen it, I have seen it, everyone is rushing up to grab it, how much everyone contributes, and what is the benefit? There is no agreement on distribution at all, so the contradictions between them are not small.
Lin Chengxiu was only focused on suppressing the bandits, and didn't care much about the situation, but the tiger head and the little lion were concerned.
The sea trade fair in Daqi has been open all the time, and the route from Daqi to the Western Ocean is long, and it is impossible for the Daqi army to **** them to the Western Ocean. Therefore, this kind of protection method can be one-sided but not long-lasting, not only because it is impossible for soldiers to Leaving the country for too long, but also because the cost is too huge.
Therefore, the phenomenon of foreigners uniting against Daqi people has to be prevented from happening again. In this way, the contradictions and conflicts between countries are very useful.
The tiger head and the little lion meticulously recorded the situation of the countries in the Indian Ocean. Since the contradictions between the countries are already so big, wouldn’t they turn them into deadly enemies by adding fire to it?
Mother told them from a young age that in politics there are no permanent enemies or friends, only permanent interests!
They didn't believe that their vigilance against Daqi would be better than that of the surrounding countries.
After all, Daqi is strong and powerful, and the threat to them is limited because they are too far apart, and the biggest conflict is only in trade.
The threat to them by neighboring countries is territorial and military, which is the biggest threat.
To ask who is the biggest enemy of Daqi, it is naturally Dayuan and Houxia, these Western countries?
All added up, it is not as big as the threat of a small regime in the Later Xia.
This is not only the cognition of tiger heads and little lions, but also the cognition of all people in the world, including Westerners.
The reason why they targeted the Daqi people together was because of their interests, and because of the Daqi people, the benefits they received in the maritime trade were greatly reduced.
For the sake of profit, they can temporarily abandon each other's hatred and cooperation. Naturally, for the sake of profit, they will one day abandon their alliance at this time and cooperate with Daqi instead.
