"It's quite close. No wonder they want us to surrender." Wang Bolun nodded.

The sudden incident made him put aside his son's affairs.

"I think we really need to repair and repair them, otherwise we will not be able to survive these days, Mr. Bai Fanzi said.

"It must be repaired and these bastards killed. Master, how do you think this should be arranged?" Wang Bolun asked again.

"My subordinates thought that we should spend money to find the naval admiral's office first. I heard that Governor Fanyi had already had a problem with them. They make a lot of money every year, but only give the governor 10,000 taels." Bai Fan is confident.

road,

"The governor originally wanted 300,000 taels, but there are people behind them. We can negotiate with the governor. Once we join forces to defeat them, we can let these guys increase the filial piety silver to 300,000 taels."

"They are definitely willing to agree to send troops. When the time comes, they will accuse the Rong Pharmaceutical Company of treason, let them disarm, and capture them without mercy."

"You're right, we'll go out immediately!" Wang Bolun gritted his teeth.

…………

Zhao Han also knew that Governor Fanyi had been restless in the past two years.

After all, Bai Yinzi can defeat the emperor's threats to them, let alone himself.

But they must have refused. After all, they now have guns and cannons. If the governor really doesn't open his eyes, just kill him and replace him with another one.

There is no shortage of officials in the world.

But they hadn't thought that the other party would decisively collude with the pirates.

This morning.

Rong Yao Company's clipper fleet began patrolling several busy routes nearby as usual.

What they protect are their main trading partners, and these trading partners are also willing to give them more money as protection fees.

After all, there is a big difference between merchant ships and warships. They can only be turned into armed merchant ships, which is already very expensive.

The cost is always low if you can let others protect you.

After all, the navy office doesn't work, so we can only protect ourselves.

Zhao Han watched a live broadcast.

Because during this patrol, Jia Rong happened to be on the boat.

He didn't want to go to sea, but this time, he wanted to see how effective the new ship was.

Not long after patrolling along the route, they saw three ships in the distance on the sea, all of which were merchant ships.

They don't have many sailors, their masts are very high, and they mainly run routes in the South China Sea.

Running from land to the South China Sea can be done twice a year.

It's not the kind of big ship that goes directly to the west.

Soon after, a group of fast galleys came from a distance.

They rowed their oars, set up their sails, and when they saw three merchant ships, they started chasing them.

The merchant ship immediately began to flee.

However, there is a headwind at this time.

Their boats are big, so if they want to escape, they have to make a big turn and run downwind before they can escape.

Making turns at sea is very slow. It is not as simple as making a turn on land, and the boat will capsize accidentally.

On the opposite side is a tailwind, and there are rowers.

Being caught up is doomed.

Just as the three merchant ships were making desperate turns, they suddenly became happy.

Because they saw the patrol speedboat of Rongyao Company.

They immediately moved closer to each other's ship.

The patrol speedboat can use the wind from all directions and run against the wind.

Of course, the speed must be slow, but at this time the merchant ships are happy that they don't need to run past the pirates.

Because the speedboat was patrolling, I went up against the pirates.

As long as the merchant ships run past, or meet the patrol boats, they will be safe.

The other party will entangle the pirates.

Sure enough, the patrol speedboat and the pirate's speed galley were fighting together.

Shooting arrows and cannons, throwing lime bottles, burning oil bottles...

However, the fast galley was soon at a disadvantage because the opponent used new cannons with a long range, so they avoided their range and fired.

This is very uncomfortable.

Every time I tried to fight hand to hand, the opponent would run away.

If you want to run away, the other party will chase you.

The pirates quickly retreated.

Choose to escape with the wind, but the direction of escape is towards land.

Jia Rong immediately subconsciously ordered the ships to pursue them, trying to defeat the pirates at once.

It's just that Zhao Han looked a little strange at this time.

But I can't tell why something is wrong.

It can only be attributed to the intuition generated by long-term breakage.

The way pirates act is a bit inconsistent.

"No! Pirates are looking for money. If they just want to rob merchant ships, they should run away immediately if they see a strong opponent."

"They fought for a while before escaping, which means they came here just to fight!"

"Facing a strong enemy, they fought for a while before leaving. So, the truth is that they are luring the enemy deeper!"

Zhao Han quickly asked Xiaohuan to inform Jia Rong.

Jia Rong immediately woke up.

He quickly ordered the ship to stop.

However, a patrol speedboat came aboard. It disobeyed orders and chased after it desperately.

Zhao Han sighed.

She understood that this was the issue of loyalty that friends were talking about.

You don't lead troops all year round, you only train in the rear.

People on the front line just don’t obey you!
