Chapter 130: The beginning of the situation

The Fujian Navy is actively preparing to go out to sea and actively attack Mr. Lin Xin. The entire Southeast family and many domestic merchants are extremely happy. As long as Mr. Lin Xin is gone, there will be no pirate power that can threaten a large fleet of ships in this sea area.

For the aristocratic families, Lin Xin is always a stumbling block on their way to make money. If they move out, their profits will be much greater and safer. Although small and medium-sized maritime merchants do not have that strong strength, they can form a fleet to go out to sea together. In this way, ordinary pirates will not dare to attack them at all.

Therefore, Chen Yourong was able to connect the Fujian Province navy this time, not entirely because of his prestige. After all, warship renovation, artillery casting, sergeant training, etc. all cost money. Not to mention, the cost of more than two or three thousand taels of artillery alone is not enough. For example, a 12-pound cannon requires more than three thousand kilograms of copper. With the cost of labor, etc., the final cost may be five or six thousand taels of silver. Not everyone can make cheap iron cannons.

Without the support of the Southeast family engaged in maritime trade, this operation would not have been possible. After all, the 100 cannons alone would cost 300,000 taels.

Three hundred thousand taels! If there were no court orders, 30 thousand taels would not be willing to take them out.

Of course, just like under the sunlight, there is always a shadow. Under the mainstream main battle tone, an undercurrent is slowly accumulating.

It makes sense to spend a lot of money and only open up the way for those merchants who are profit-oriented! This is not a small number of voices, but under the tone of the court's serious maritime ban, they have not formed too powerful power, at least not now.

"Hmph! I will destroy the thieves, and the maritime affairs will be unstable for a day, and the people in the southeast coast will not be at peace all day. Could it be that the court will continue to maintain such a large-scale island garrison? It would be more expensive." Chen Yourong hated those bad guys with great intentions. After hearing these voices, he couldn't help but retorted.

But he also knew that the best refutation of these gossips was to achieve the results that could make them shut up. If they failed, or the results they achieved were not convincing, then everything might return to their original appearance. So everything made Chen Yourong have to organize an attack on Mr. Lin as soon as possible.

On the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, this day is a very clear day. The entire southeast coast is clear. Although there is north wind, the light breeze of two or three levels makes the climate on the southeast coast feel extremely comfortable, without the cold winter feeling of winter.

This was also a very special day. On this day, the fleets of the great families of the Southeast were on their way back. Although the fleet's itinerary was adjusted due to previous rumors, they had to come back even if they were adjusted. Therefore, the Fujian Navy attacked with everyone's praise at this time.

Although the 120 large ships did not have the beautiful scenery of the Western warships, the 120 tall hard sailing ships with a height of more than 600 tons also made the whole scene very spectacular. In this era, this was a very impressive maritime power. Although there were less than 300 artillery pieces on it, most of them were artillery less than 12 pounds. But even the Spanish and Dutch fleets did not have more than 40 warships, they were not their opponents.

So this navy team went all the way, and all the pirates fled. Of course, these pirates were not their target this time, so the fleet did not make any stops.

"Where are you now?"

Although Chen Yourong does not have an official position now, he still participated in this operation with his previous connections.

"I have arrived a hundred miles east of Kinmen, not far from the waters of the Penghu Islands where the pirates of Lin Xin's group are located (fictional, don't pay too much attention)." The Navy of Yiming stood next to Shen Yourong and answered his question.

"Well! Order all soldiers to be prepared for combat."

"Yes!" The order to prepare for the battle was immediately conveyed.

"Military Gate, will Mr. Lin Xin escape from his lair?" the military officer asked proudly.

"Escape, unless he escapes to Nanyang like Lin Feng this time, I will definitely wipe him out."

With such a big move, Chen Yourong couldn't help but achieve some results. Although many people know that the Fujian Navy would definitely attack Mr. Lin Xin, no one knew the specific date of the attack. After all, he had a temporary idea, and even the generals at all levels of the Navy only knew about it today.

"Military gate, a pirate whistle was found in front of him. The other party was fleeing in panic and had released a smoke column." As soon as Chen Yourong finished speaking, news came from outside that he discovered the pirate whistle.

"Fast keep up quickly and keep the sequence." Chen Yourong ordered.

"Military Gate, are we splitting two teams and surrounding us from the side?"

"No, our strength is not as big as encirclement. If we divide into three teams, we will give each other a chance to defeat each other."

Chen Yourong didn't expect to use this tactic, but the Zhejiang Guangdong Navy was not interested in going to sea to wipe out Mr. Lin Xin. The power of the Fujian Navy alone was not enough to do so.

There is no way, Chen Yourong can only concentrate his strength to press forward from one direction. Although this will lead to many pirates running away, he can only concentrate his strength to deal with the pirate leaders. If he captures the thief and the king, and loses the pirate leader, these pirates will only be divided and will never be a big threat. This is the method that Chen Yourong has no choice but to take.

When they saw the warning from Yanzhu, the pirates of the old pirate group of Lin Xin were naturally hurriedly boarded the ship. They did not expect that they had completely retracted their nests. The Ming Dynasty still refused to let them go, and it was when the Chinese New Year was about to be celebrated.

"Bastard, bastard, are they just the New Year?" Lin Xin's face turned blue when he heard that the Ming Navy was actually coming.

"Brother, let's run away as soon as possible. Otherwise we will be in trouble." Sun Xin immediately suggested escaping immediately.

"But we still have 30% of the things we have not moved out yet!"

Old Lin Xin felt sorry for the things on the island. Those are the wealth they had accumulated in more than ten years! Although the fines and soft materials such as gold and silver have been moved away, not all gold and silver are the capital that Old Lin Xin can run rampant on the sea.

Mr. Lin Xin was still mentally prepared for the Fujian Navy to attack, but he did not expect the other party to come so quickly that he was not fully prepared.
