After the Marines jumped onto the deck, they were attacked by pirates desperately. When the pirates saw Lin Jun coming with such a large fleet, they obviously wanted to drive the Marines off the ship and then flee.

But the Marines have always been spearmen wearing plate armor to attack the forwards. Most of their attacks were blocked. A spearmen swung the hand axe for melee combat and directly split the pirate's head in half. The pirate fell directly on the deck.

The pirate soldier roared with his hand axe, and rushed forward two steps regardless of the pirate's attack. The axe in his hand swung the neck of a pirate again. The pirate gave up his position to the comrades behind him. The axe in his hand swung the neck of a pirate again. The pirate's head flew up and brought up a bloody rain that soared into the sky. The pirate's back jumped onto the deck one after another and joined the cruel hand-to-hand combat.

The musketeers on the warship were holding muskets, and the musketeers in their hands made waves of noises, and the spearmen who fired fire to cover the charge. All of these musketeers who dared to shoot in chaos were sharpshooters in the army, and they were holding rifled guns for melee.

The pirate on the opposite side suddenly shot out several feather arrows, one hit the forehead of a musketeer and nailed him to the deck. The commander stared at the feather arrow in a daze, and suddenly the cat yelled: "Longbow, it's a longbow, lie down, lie down quickly."

The musketeers quickly lowered their bodies and looked at the dead comrade. The feather arrow was obviously a heavy arrow, which was very similar to the heavy arrows used by the Denglai Army before.

Seeing that the comrades were killed, the musketeers' eyes suddenly turned red and shouted: "Damn, brothers, shoot these bastards to death."

In an instant, gunfire sounded loudly, and the musketeers on the side of the boat immediately suppressed the pirate's longbowman. The pirates who rushed to the deck with long swords and axes quickly cleared the pirates on the deck.

These pirates did not have any strong protection on them. The hand axes on the hands of the spearmen were obviously too exaggerated. Some spearmen hung the hand axes back to their waists and picked up the Japanese swords on the deck and went into the cabin.

Seeing that there was no hope of escaping, the pirates in the cabin had to put down their weapons and asked for surrender in a slight Minnan language. Many of the crew members in the fleet were from Fujian and Guangdong, and they could understand and controlled the remaining twenty pirates.

The soldiers found seven crew members captured by pirates in the cabin, untied the ropes on their bodies, and took them to see Lin Jun.

Lin Jun asked about the situation, and the crew on the Clippers were still worried about the previous attack. When they were heading to Nagasaki, they met the pirate ship.

The pirate ship was wearing the moon flag used by the Denlai ship and was also wearing the military uniforms of sailors. The pirates disguised themselves as Denlai ships and asked for help from the Clippers on the excuse of the damage in the hull.

These pirates were obviously from the south. Their Hokkien dialect did not arouse the suspicion of the crew, because many of the sailors of Denlai were recruited from the south.

As soon as the ships on both sides approached, the pirates immediately grabbed the hull of the Clippers with hook ropes. Their technique was extremely skillful. When the crew from the south saw this situation, they immediately realized that something was wrong. However, because the sailing rate of the Clippers was high, there were only fifteen people on the ship, and they could not resist the pirates at all.

Because of resistance, they were killed by pirates.

Fortunately, these pirates are more knowledgeable and do not kill the crew members who stop resisting. If they encounter pirates who don’t know how to do, they will be so dead that they can’t even find their bones.

Lin Jun took the more than 20 pirates onto the warship and continued to return.

"These pirates are very professional, and they are disguised as our Denglai costume. They must have been planning for us for a long time and must be interrogated." Lin Jun continued to explain and asked those pirates to be interrogated.

The interrogation soon came to an end. The pirates were very arrogant and shouted that they were the Fujian navy and Zheng Zhilong's subordinate, as if they thought that this would be possible.

Zheng Zhilong was already very rich in maritime trade. Since he defected to the government, he has continuously obtained the supply of manpower and material resources on land, and his power has become increasingly powerful. At this moment, he has already become the overlord of the southeast coast, and his subordinates have naturally become arrogant.

After Lin Jun asked about the origins of these pirates, he detained them in the cabin and prepared to take them back to Denglai and hand them over to the military court for trial. The Zhaojiabao Military Court specifically tried these bandits with official status, and their leaders usually ended up being shot.

...On July 25, Lin Jun successfully returned to Qingdao Port with his fleet, brought back ten merchant ships, five warships, a large number of American and Hawaiian cargo, and more than ten stallions.

Zhao Yan was overjoyed after hearing this in Zhaojiabao. It seemed that the American fleet was doing well in the Americas.

Second, Lin Jun arrived at Zhaojiabao and handed Zhao Yan the administrative report of Liu Yuan and Guo Zhiyun, as well as the fleet's navigation. Lin Jun also reported to Zhao Yan about Zheng Zhilong's dispatch of pirates to attack the flying scissors.

"Zheng Zhilong? It seems that he is taking action against us." Zhao Yan smiled. Lin Jun said: "Zheng Zhilong is dominating the southeast coast. Our merchant ships should reduce their actions alone. The clipper must judge that the flag is correct before approaching unknown ships."

"Yeah!" Zhao Yan nodded and agreed. Then Zhao Yan looked at the fleet's navigation and the administrative history of Liu Yuan and Guo Zhiyun.

When Zhao Yan was watching, he asked questions from time to time, while Lin Jun explained on the side.

After reading it, Zhao Yan was clear about the plundering process of the American fleet in the Americas. The plundering process of the American fleet was unscrupulous, and even the Spanish dared not do so. Zhao Yan said worriedly: "The center of the Dutch power is in Europe. They may send large-scale fleets to attack the American fleet and ports at any time, and they must be guarded at all times. Those five warships, after being equipped, will be transferred back to the American fleet!"

"Yes." Lin Jun was overjoyed. These five warships were allocated to the American fleet, and the strength of the American fleet could be increased a lot.

"The five newly launched fly-scissors are also sent to America and Hawaii. Various overseas colonial personnel will start to be recruited tomorrow, and a thousand Marines will be allocated to you." Zhao Yan continued, Lin Jun was stunned and asked inexplicably: "Sir, isn't our focus not on America?"

"Now America is one of the centers of gravity. You can get a lot of boats when you go to America, right?" Zhao Yan asked with a smile.

"Well! Haha! The Europa people do have many ships traveling in the Americas. We can even use America as a springboard to raid ships in the Europa." Lin Jun also laughed.

The next day, Lin Jun did not rest and directly began to prepare for arms transported to America. The colonies did not allow themselves to make arms, which was something that Zhao Yanding died.

No matter what aspect you consider, this regulation is correct. There may not be any problems in the short term, but in the long run, it is easy to have problems. Didn’t the Americans just read from the UK?

Therefore, all arms have to be transported from Denlai. A ship can transport a lot of arms, namely artillery, shells, guns, and rockets. Gunpowder can be made in the colonies.

This time, the ships to the Americas were going to go to the United States, in addition to the ten merchant ships returned, there were five fly-scissors and five warships. The carrying capacity reached more than 5,000 tons.

The fleet transported all the more than 1,000 large and small cannons in stock and installed them on three merchant ships in batches. Although these cannons can be loaded with a sailboat, the heaviest cannon was only 2,000 kilograms and the smallest one was only 300 kilograms, but loading them on a ship was obviously not safe enough.

In addition to artillery, there were shells and muskets. The three merchant ships were loaded to the warning office of the waterline, and another merchant ship was loaded.

In addition to these arms, the fleet also loaded with a large number of steel products, as well as some equipment needed for shipbuilding, mining and smelting.

These are heavy industrial products.

Light industrial products are nothing but a small amount of daily necessities. In the end, there are livestock. The fleet shipped five hundred mules and three hundred oxen to ship to Hawaii.

There is no need to worry about the service livestock in California. The colonies will spend a portion of their income to buy livestock from Spain and Portuguese.

Livestock will continue to transport from Europe.

The Ministry of Military Affairs and the Ministry of Personnel began to assist the American fleet in recruiting personnel to the Americas.

Among the military personnel, one thousand Marine soldiers and two thousand navy soldiers will be dispatched to America. The American fleet has reached ten warships and will continue to expand in the future. Sailors and artillery are already in short supply.

Among the public officials, 30 teachers, 500 boatmen, 20 doctors, and 30 trainees from the Department of Agriculture of Denglai University will be dispatched again.

For these military and public officials, they have no choice but to prepare to board the ship after receiving the transfer order. Their transfer period is three years. After three years, they can choose to come back or continue to stay in North America, and the monthly salary will increase by one or two silver taels during the period.

America is familiar and unfamiliar to most people. In the popularization of geographical knowledge, many military and civilians know that overseas has a vast world and many fertile land.

It was just that going to the desolate overseas made many military and civilians retreat a little. This phenomenon occurred in all colonial countries around the world. Not everyone had the courage to give up their current careers and familiar environments. At the beginning, only those who had nothing were willing to go out to sea to take risks.

However, Zhao Yan's immigration policy conflicts with such a law to a certain extent. Zhao Yan attaches great importance to the development of the colony, so the immigrant military and civilians must be loyal and hope that those who immigrate will be well-educated. He does not want to create a mixed colony.

He wants to copy a new Ming Dynasty to North America!

In the future, not only did the Indians in America not exist, but those people with low quality and lack of loyalty to the nation could not be placed in America.

Therefore, the mandatory transfer of military and public officials is adopted for military and public officials, but in just three years, I believe that in three years, someone will choose to stay in the Americas, and every year, military and public officials will be transferred to the Americas, and the number of people they come back will be transferred as many people as they come back.
