"Go, cut off the heads of the Japanese pirates, and cast them in the capital." Han Du scolded Zhang Chao and ordered again.
This time Zhang Chao no longer hesitated, "Yes."
He just tried to persuade Han Du because he was worried that Jing Haibo didn't know what was going on. But now that Jing Haibo is not afraid, what does Zhang Chao have to be afraid of? His hatred for Japanese pirates was no less than that of Jing Haibo.
Han Du looked at the Japanese pirate ship leaving Youzai Youzai, and couldn't help but feel angry, "If Uncle Ben has a warship now, I will definitely kill these bastards."
"Uncle, look, another boat is coming."
Han Du's expression changed. Could there be another Japanese pirate? If another boat of Japanese pirates comes, I will turn around and run away.
"It's Ming Dynasty's ship, it's Ming Dynasty's navy that's here."
Han Du held up the telescope and took a look, and sure enough he saw Jiang Ming standing at the bow of the ship, watching the Japanese pirate ship leave with a confused look on his face.
This is the fleet that Jiang Ming used to transport sea fish back to Beijing. It should be transporting fish again now.
"Zhang Chao, Zhang Chao, come here quickly." Han Du waved and shouted.
"Uncle, the general will immediately raise a signal and let Jiang Ming pursue him." Zhang Chao also reacted.
"Okay, you go immediately." Han Du looked at Jiang Ming and waved to Zhang Chao, "Also, you ask him to send a ship over, and I will personally kill those Japanese pirates."
"Uncle, just leave the pursuit of Japanese pirates to the generals. It's better for me to sit here to guard against any unexpected events."
After what happened just now, Zhang Chao really didn't dare to let anything happen to Jing Haibo again. It was a last resort, but Zhang Chao was now sweating because of his recklessness.
Even though he defeated the Japanese pirates and Jing Haibo was not injured, Zhang Chao still felt regretful for his actions just now. He should have taken Jing Haibo and retreated quickly just now, instead of letting Jing Haibo stand on the beach and fight against the Japanese pirates.
Han Du turned around, glanced at Zhang Chao dissatisfied, and said, "Just do whatever I ask you to do. Why are you so long-winded?"
Zhang Chao did not dare to disobey Jing Haibo and would only send a signal if he had to. I can only think about the good things in my heart. Those Japanese pirates just now were almost powerless to fight back under the powerful fire cannons. If it weren't for the fact that they were out of bullets, those Japanese pirates might not dare to continue attacking until they die. There are a lot of supplies on the warship, so there is no need to worry about running out of bullets in a short time.
In this case, Jing Haibo seemed to be safer on the warship.
As the signal was sent, a warship immediately headed towards the Japanese pirate ship. One of the warships sailed towards the shore, put down the boat and picked up Han Du and others.
As soon as Han Du got on the boat, Jiang Ming immediately came to him.
"Uncle, what happened?"
Jiang Ming saw Jing Haibo's gloomy face. Ever since he followed Jing Haibo, he had never seen Jing Haibo so angry.
"I will explain to you slowly later. Now, immediately, sail the boat and intercept the Japanese pirate ship in front of me. Even if I chase them to the desolate area, I will kill them!"
"As ordered." Jiang Ming looked serious. When he heard about Japanese pirates, he understood a little bit. Not daring to neglect, he hurriedly went down to make arrangements.
Although the navy's warships are faster than the Japanese pirate ships, they are also very limited. After all, Japanese pirate ships are much smaller than naval warships, so their speed in the water is not slow.
Han Du led two warships and chased for an hour, but they still could not catch up with the Japanese pirates. Just hanging behind the Japanese pirates, slowly approaching.
But Han Du is not in a hurry. Judging from the current situation, he will definitely be able to catch up with the Japanese pirates before dark.
It's a pity that God's calculation is not as good as that of man.
Just when the distance between Han Du and the Japanese pirates had shrunk by more than half, the weather above the sea, which had been sunny just now, suddenly turned pitch black and filled with lightning and thunder.
The strong wind combined with the heavy rain hit the sea head and face.
"Uncle, hurry up and give the order to lower the sail, otherwise the mast may not be able to withstand such a strong wind." The strong wind blew Jiang Ming's clothes flying fiercely, and even his voice was a little out of shape.
Han Du was naturally very unwilling to let the Japanese pirates run away, but in the face of such weather, there was nothing he could do. Although people can fight with the sky, people are still very powerless when facing the weather of heaven and earth.
"Remove the sails!" Han Du reluctantly gave the order, turned around and walked down below the deck dejectedly.
"Remove the sails, remove the sails..." The soldiers, who had been waiting for a long time, heard Jiang Ming's order and quickly removed the sails.
Jiang Ming stood on the deck, watching the soldiers remove the sails and store them away, then turned and walked off the deck.
Seeing that Han Du was all wet, Jiang Ming turned around and took out a set of soldiers' clothes.
"Uncle, your clothes are wet, please change them first, otherwise you will get cold."
Han Du nodded, took over the clothes, and without hesitation, changed out of his soaked clothes.
In such a violent storm, even if the oil lamp on the ship was fixed on the pillar, it still swayed left and right with the shaking of the entire warship.
Han Du looked a little unhappy, feeling deeply disappointed that he could not pursue the Japanese pirates. Therefore, it is urgent to hope that this storm will pass as soon as possible. If you're lucky, you might even be able to find traces of Japanese pirates.
"Jiang Ming, look at the storm, when will it pass?"
"Uncle, you can't say for sure." Jiang Ming sighed helplessly, "The storm on the sea will come and stop at any time. If you are lucky, it might stop in a moment. If you are not lucky, maybe it will stop in a moment. It won’t stop for three or two days.”
Three or two days...
Han Du's face was as dark as water, and he couldn't help but said: "If it takes such a long time, wouldn't we all know where we are going to be blown?"
Jiang Ming nodded, "That's true, but it doesn't matter. As long as the wind and rain stop, we can always return to the shore and find where we are with the help of the sea breeze blowing to the shore in the morning."
That's all.
Human power is always so powerless when faced with the natural power of heaven and earth. Even Han Du couldn't do anything about it.
...
The capital is near Jiagangmen, not far from the lower reaches of the Qinhuai River in the capital.
Late at night, suddenly a stream of firelight shone out from here. With the help of the night wind, the originally wavering flames quickly took off and quickly connected into one. In a short period of time, the small ball of fire turned into a huge force.
"The water has escaped, the water has escaped, please come quickly..."
The quiet night was broken by the firelight, and various noisy sounds became louder and louder among the figures.
