Broadleaf Island, Chenliu Alliance Navy Port.
A pirate hurriedly ran into the Juyi Hall.
"Master, what's wrong, all the people we sent were arrested by Qin Yun!"
Zhou Qianyu's eyes narrowed: "You mean everyone?"
The pirate nodded fiercely: "Yes, Qin Yun was on guard for a long time. All the Qiongzhou family members and brothers who participated in the uprising were captured by Qin Yun and went mining."
"Qin Yun has ordered the whole state to be on alert. It seems that he is going to fight to the death with us!"
Chen Jin muttered: "Decisive battle! That's exactly what I meant. Qiongzhou's shore defenses are strong. If we forcefully land on the island, we will suffer from it. Who should we fear in a naval battle?"
"Pass my order to come out in force and destroy Qiongzhou!"
"promise!"
Zhou Qianyu on the side reminded: "Master, we still have to be careful about those Japanese people."
Chen Jin smiled: "The Japanese also want to capture Qin Yun. As long as we capture Qiongzhou in a short time, what if we give him these three islands?"
"If it doesn't work, let's exchange the limit for one!"
"The boss is wise."
"Brothers, whether you are rich or not depends on today. All seventy-two water villages are set off."
"promise!"
…
Qiongzhou, inside the dock.
Qin Yun felt very comfortable looking at the refitted ship towed back from Ryukyu Island.
"Master Lu, can this ship be equipped with a steam engine in the future?"
Lu Ban shook his head: "Back to my lord, it can be transformed, but it's not necessary. We can definitely build a few more steam iron ships, it just takes time."
"But don't worry, Your Majesty. Although this big ship is a sailing ship, it has been modified by me and equipped with ten powerful secondary guns and eight continuous machine guns installed on the deck."
"More than enough to deal with pirates!"
Qin Yun nodded: "It's time to make some disguises to confuse the enemy. Now that we have two ships, it's time to launch a general attack on the pirates."
Wang Menghu on the side said: "Your Majesty, I think that although we have strong ships and powerful cannons, we are still outnumbered and it is not suitable to land on the island to fight."
"The best way at present is to defeat them one by one. Our Qiongzhou Island is a big island after all. It can be self-sufficient even if it does not communicate with the outside world. But the three islands occupied by the pirates are nothing more than rocks. Even fresh water needs to be brought from Chaozhou land. transport."
"The pirates are said to number one hundred thousand. These people consume supplies by eating, drinking, and sleeping. We can send a steam mecha ship to cut off the other party's transportation line."
Qin Yun's eyes lit up: "What a good idea."
"Zheng Jing, you led the fleet to sea, using an ironclad ship as the mother ship, supplemented by modified fishing boats to intercept pirate supplies."
Wang Menghu continued: "Your Majesty, since we are sure that Ryukyu will be our enemy in the future, we must not let Ryukyu merchant ships go."
Qin Yun said with a smile: "You're right, only others are allowed to be in the first grade of junior high school, and we are not allowed to be in the fifteenth grade. How can there be such a reason in the world?"
"The steam engine and iron ship have brought enough supplies and will set off immediately."
"This large ship modified by Master Lu has taken over the role of the steam iron ship and is responsible for patrolling the surrounding waters to protect Qiongzhou."
"As you command!"
…
On the sea, Chen Jin's fleet was heading towards Qiongzhou in a mighty manner, but what they didn't know was that a black ghost ship had already circled behind them.
"The boss is in trouble, the ship behind us was attacked by an unknown ship!"
The headmaster's eyes narrowed: "Who did it?"
"Returning to the master, according to those who were lucky enough to escape, it was a set of ghost dragon boats. The boats would emit black smoke and the speed was several times faster than the big boats like mine, and the speed would not slow down even if it was against the wind."
Everyone was shocked when this statement came out.
You should know that the wind direction on the sea is uncertain, and a sailboat generally has to make a "zigzag" line when moving forward. Especially when there is a headwind, you need to fold the canvas and wait until the wind picks up before continuing to sail.
This speed is comparable to that of a steam engine ship.
However, before Chen Jin could come up with a countermeasure, another piece of bad news came.
"The first master and the second master came to report that they were attacked by artillery. The fleet in the hands of the second master has been broken up and has returned."
Chen Jin frowned: "Is the so-called black ship a bait released by Qiongzhou?"
"I don't care if it's bait or not, let me eat it! Use all your strength to knock it over!"
"yes!"
…
On the Qiongzhou No. 1 steamship, the sailors were working non-stop to carry the riflemen to the Continuous Machine Gun. This thing was so fun to shoot. Once the shuttle was off, the pirates would not even think about getting on the ship, but it also consumed a lot of money. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of rounds could be fired. bullet.
The main and secondary guns are also being debugged at the moment, preparing for the next round of enemy attacks.
"Captain, enemy attack!"
Zheng Jing calmly asked: "How far away is the other party and how many ships are there?"
"Back to the captain, there are at least six ships five miles away, all of which are large ships equipped with artillery."
Zheng Jing smiled and said: "Notify them, pretend that they are defeated, and lead them into the encirclement."
"promise!"
…
"Master, look at that soft-footed shrimp running away, I said they don't dare to confront us head-on."
"That's right, the Second Master's fleet was broken up, and it's purely for him."
"Master, give the order and give them some shots!"
At this time, Zhou Qianyu had a bad feeling.
"Master, our goal is Qiongzhou Continent. There is no need to tangle with them at sea."
Chen Jin thought for a while: "Yes, let him go for now and go to Qiongzhou first!"
"yes!"
But it can be said that it is easier to go up the mountain than to go down the mountain. Once they are within the fire range of Qiongzhou No. 1, how can they run away if they want?
Zheng Jing noticed the enemy's thoughts and immediately changed his order.
"Let the fishing boats and speedboats shrink the encirclement and give them a hole."
"Inform the boiler room to use full power and let me catch up."
"promise!"
On the other side, Chen Jin looked at the black ship hanging in the distance and was very upset.
"Turn around and hit me!"
"The boss ordered the fleet to turn around and crash into it!"
However, big ships in the sea don't just turn around when they want to. When they turned around, they found that the black ship had retreated, and took advantage of their turn to fire a few shots.
One shell almost hit Chen Jin's flagship.
"What are you doing standing still? Take off the canvas and paddle hard."
"yes!"
However, no matter how hard the pirates tried, they couldn't even touch the black ship's tail.
In this way, they entered the black ship and retreated, and they retreated and entered the black ship. The group of pirates were so tired that they were so tired that they were filled with gall water and were dizzy on the sea.
"Master, we can't go on like this, there's something weird about the other party's ship!"
Chen Jin didn't believe in evil: "Is it possible that his boat doesn't need people to row it? Keep going, they will soon die!"
Zhou Qianyu paused. No matter how smart he was, he would never have imagined that there was such a thing as a steam engine in the world.
But it was different from what Chen Jin expected.
On the Qiongzhou No. 1, a group of sailors are methodically monitoring various steam power transmission pipes on the ship.
"How much more coal is there?"
Zheng Jing asked the deputy on the side.
The deputy replied: "Go back to the captain, it's enough to spend ten days and a half with them."
Zheng Jing smiled: "Then just waste it!"
After a few more hours, Chen Jin finally discovered something was wrong. Is the other party still a human? Pulling back and forth, is it possible that all the people rocking the oars in the black boat are great masters? Is it so long-lasting?
At this time, a pirate leader who was as tired as a dead dog stepped forward.
"Boss, brothers are exhausted!"
Chen Jin turned around and asked, "Where are those Japanese people?"
Zhou Qianyu paused: "Boss, are they really going to steal the house?"
Chen Jin's eyes narrowed: "All ships hang sails and leave the battlefield. Don't worry about the black ship returning to Kuaye Island."
"promise!"
Meanwhile, Broadleaf Island.
The three-eyed tiger came to the treasure house with a group of men pretending to be defeated.
"What are you doing? No one is allowed to come near without the master's order!"
The third leader, Yu Haitang, who was sitting here, led his people to block the three-eyed tiger.
The three-eyed tiger snorted coldly: "The boss died in the battle, now I have the final say here. Get out of the way, bitch!"
Yu Haitang: "Three-Eyed Tiger, you are talking nonsense! How can the master die in battle if he is the grand master?"
"Come on and smash open the warehouse door."
"you dare?"
Yu Haitang immediately took out a knife and struck at Three-Eyed Tiger. Three-Eyed Tiger took out a gun with his backhand. There was a "bang" sound. Yu Haitang was shot in the shoulder. Three-Eyed Tiger stepped forward and kicked her out.
"Bitch, times have changed!"
"Come here, tie her up and stop her bleeding. Don't die. The rest of you should pack up the gold, silver and jewelry and get out!"
"promise!"
