Chapter 1169: Leveraging the foundation of the empire
"Hmph, let you humiliate me, I will see how you run away this time!"
Grumman was helped up by the guards and said with a grin.
"Master Grumman, you'd better go back." The fat man said respectfully.
"No, I'm right here. I want to see him get caught. I want to step on his face with my leather boots. I want him to kneel down and beg me for forgiveness! How dare you take my money!"

Grumman gritted his teeth and said.
"Master Grumman, please rest assured. The Governor has mobilized the garrison. I believe that under the encirclement and suppression of the two cruisers, a mere merchant ship will not be able to escape our hands."
The fat man said respectfully.
"What should we do? With two cruisers, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out."
Yin Lisabai looked at the battleships outside the port and said.
"Don't worry, I have a solution!"
Zhang Tuohai used his skill to summon a ghost ship.
The battleship Coconut sailed out of the void and then crashed into a cruiser at lightning speed.
The cruiser didn't expect that a battleship would suddenly appear from the void. By the time it saw the battleship clearly, the battleship's collision angle was already less than ten meters away from them.
At this distance, it is already too late to dodge.
Bang! Katcha!
Accompanied by a harsh friction sound, the Coconut's collision angle broke open the side armor of the cruiser, and then moved forward like a knight holding a lance.
Everything encountered by the collision angle, whether it was the gun deck or the mast, was smashed into two sections.
The starboard side of the cruiser also tilted due to the pressure, and the deck formed a 30-degree slope with the sea level. Then the Coconut relied on the huge impact force and rushed up along this slope.
Immediately afterwards, a violent breaking sound was heard.
The cruiser could not bear the weight of the battleship and broke suddenly, and the entire ship was broken into two pieces.
In this case, even the gods could not save the cruiser. In the blink of an eye, the second-class cruiser sank to the bottom of the sea.
Everyone at the port and the people on the other cruiser were dumbfounded.
First of all, they didn't expect that a battleship would suddenly appear.
Second, I was shocked by the sinking of the cruiser.
That is a cruiser of the Royal Navy that is invincible across the seven seas.
A navy invincible in the world.
When was the last time a cruiser sank?
It was at least ten years ago.
Today, in front of them, a Royal Navy warship sank. This is tantamount to a heavy blow to their outlook.
"How is this possible?" Grumman was dumbfounded, his eyes filled with disbelief.
The Royal Navy on the other cruiser did not expect that it was just an easy catch in a jar. As a result, within five minutes of the appearance, a battleship sank. This made them feel like they were dreaming and could not react for a while.
They couldn't react, but Coconut was not idle.
After ramming and sinking a cruiser, the Coconut was on the T-head of another cruiser.
All the broadside guns were aimed at the stern of the other cruiser.
"Fire!"
Boom, boom, boom!
The Coconut's side guns fired a salvo, and dozens of shells were fired into the stern of the cruiser.
Cruisers are famous for their high speed, high attack, and low defense, and the stern defense is even more of a shortcoming.
After these explosive shells were fired from the stern of the ship, they even rushed into the center of the gun deck without any hindrance, and then exploded.
The shell fragments flying in all directions, like steel fragments, took the lives of its gunners.
The entire gun deck was in chaos.
But what a coincidence, a shell just hit the propellant.
The flames ignited the piles of propellant.
Boom!
The propellant exploded, and the huge explosion directly broke the keel of the ship.
The cruiser broke into two sections and sank quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In less than two minutes, the two Royal Navy cruisers were written off and sank to the bottom of the sea.
At this time, those people on the shore were dumbfounded.
They stared blankly at the battleship sinking into the sea, filled with questions.
How did the mighty Royal Navy sink?
They don't understand.
After sinking two cruisers, the Coconut did not stop there. Instead, it began to turn and aimed its guns at those on the shore.
"Run!" The fat man saw that something was not going well, so he turned around and wanted to run away.
But it was already too late.
Boom, boom, boom!
Clouds of gunpowder smoke exploded, and explosive bombs fell into the port.
Those neatly arranged port guards were directly blown into the sky.
Grumman was directly hit by a shell, his body was shattered, and his limbs and arms were flying everywhere.
Boom, boom!
The Coconut's artillery has been roaring, and they have only one goal at this time, which is to shoot out all the cannonballs within the time they exist.
Cannonballs exploded in the port.
When the Coconut's existence time is up and the Coconut dissipates, the entire port has become like the surface of the moon.
"Let's go ashore and have a look."
Zhang Tuohai stood up, took the Unsullied off the boat, and stepped on the land at the dock.
There are body parts everywhere, and the smell of burnt lake is everywhere.
A group of people walked into the city.
Thanks to the governor's previous determination to arrest Zhang Tuohai, all the garrison troops in the city were transferred to the port, so that they were all wiped out by Zhang Tuohai's shelling.
Now, apart from the symbolic guards at the Governor's Mansion, there are almost no soldiers available in the entire city.
Seeing Zhang Tuohai leading his men to kill them, the guards dropped their weapons and disappeared.
The Governor has also disappeared.
Zhang Tuohai didn't bother to pay attention, and directly broke open the door of the Governor's Mansion and moved out all the things inside.
All the useful ones were moved to the ship, and the rest were directly distributed to the civilians in the city.
Zhang Tuohai doesn't care whether the things that have been given out will be snatched back by the governor, as long as the conflict between the governor and the civilians is planted.
Zhang Tuohai discovered that his enemy was the entire empire. If he wanted to leverage the empire, he would have to rely on himself alone. One ship was not enough.
With just one of his ships, no matter how powerful he was, how many ships and fleets of the empire could he defeat?
It doesn't take much, the empire only needs to send 10 cruisers to chase him, and he will have no choice but to escape.
If you want to reverse this situation, you must pry the corner of the empire from its foundation.
Only by making the empire's rule unstable and unable to care about him can he find opportunities to develop and grow.
Otherwise, sooner or later, we will be strangled to death by the empire's army.
And distributing the governor's wealth to the common people is only the first step.
He now wants to follow the path of a king, get close to the common people at the bottom, attack wealthy businessmen and governors, and get his name out, changing his identity from a pirate that everyone shouts about to a rebel who works for heaven.
