Dozens of Zheng family ships in the rear received the message and began to attack in formation. In fact, they also saw the battle situation in front. Seeing that the three warships were tilting and sinking, no one dared to take it lightly.

There were more than twenty ships of various sizes, and they were now under command to form two fleets, each consisting of three large ships and more than a dozen small ships, forming two attack formations, rushing towards the Dream and the Future in a swarm.

The tactics of the Zheng family navy must have been rehearsed. After approaching, the boats spread out on the sea and approached the Dream and the Future from all directions. This could distract the opponent's strike firepower. It was clearly visible through the telescope.

The huge bed crossbow on the opponent's deck is the most powerful killing weapon, but there is only one. Using the tactic of approaching and encircling from all sides can make the opponent focus on one thing and miss the other. As long as several small boats break through to the bottom of the big ship, the water ghost can launch a chisel.

ship, destroying the opponent's big ship. And the three big ships are outflanking and approaching from three directions. If the opponent is busy dealing with the small boats and water ghosts, then the big ships will have the opportunity to reach the shooting range of within a hundred steps and shoot at the opponent intensively with bows and arrows.

Crowd on deck.

It has to be said that this tactic is correct. In the situation of attacking more and less, and fearing the opponent's firepower, it is necessary to attack more to make the opponent focus on one thing and lose the other. However, what the Zheng family navy does not know is that the opponent's ship is not an ordinary ship.

It was a large ship driven by a steam engine, and its maneuverability was much stronger than theirs.

After realizing the other party's intention, the Dream and the Future turned at full power and made a diagonal turn. After making a circle that was about a mile long, they threw all the other party's ships far away. The two Zheng family ships thought that the other party was escaping and hurriedly

When the warships approaching Zheng Boping were preparing to rescue them, they suddenly discovered that the two enemy ships on the side and behind were approaching at high speed from the dusk. What followed was a blow like a storm.

Taking advantage of the maneuverability of the big ships, the Dream and the Future made circuitous turns, rushing forward and backward, dragging a group of ships following them around. After getting away from the threat of the other side, they would suddenly turn back at high speed, targeting those big ships.

The warships used armor-piercing arrows and explosive arrows together, and explosions occurred one after another on the dark sea, making it extremely lively. Half an hour later, four of the six large ships were destroyed. The fires on the ship were soaring into the sky, the hull was damaged, and people were lying on the ground.

Unable to move, the other two Zheng family ships saw that the situation was not good, so they turned around and began to flee.

Fang Zian ordered the Future to pursue, while the Dream began to pack up the small boats that were following behind like flies. The gas lights on the Dream were turned on, using the principle of concave lenses to reflect the gathered beams of light across the sea. When they saw the enemy boats, they would use bows and arrows to attack them.

The enemy and the Thunderbolt Ball greeted each other. For a while, screams were heard on the sea, a large number of ships were destroyed, and the Zheng family navy suffered numerous casualties. Those who had enough brains had already fled to the depths of the sea, and found an island to hide. Those who didn't have enough brains had already fled deep into the sea.

If you continue to rush forward with all your might, you will only be destroyed.

After the sky completely darkened, the battle lasted for an hour, and almost all of the Zheng family's navy was wiped out. The dark sea was littered with floating wooden planks, masts and other debris as well as corpses. There were Zheng's sailors crawling on the wooden boards and howling for help everywhere.

Soldiers. Fortunately, it was August, not winter, and the sea water was not that cold yet. Otherwise, these people might not have been able to survive for half an hour. But the scary thing is that the bloody water will attract sharks. If no rescue is done, the smell of blood will

Attract sea sharks, and these people will become the shark's food.

"Brother Qian, I have left fifty people for you to rescue these people. Although these people are instigators, they are not the culprits, and we cannot let them die in the sea. The Future Ship is left to rescue people, and the rest of the people are

Follow me to the port." Fang Zian ordered.

Qian Kang nodded in agreement. Fang Zian turned to Qin Xiqing and said: "Xiqing, you stay on the boat, we are going to the spring."

Zhoucheng, tonight’s matters are not over yet.”

Qin Xiqing nodded and said, "Go ahead and be careful."

Fang Zian nodded and gave orders loudly. The Dream and the Future gathered together, assigned personnel and tasks, and concentrated more than two hundred combatants on the Dream. Someone had already captured Zheng Boping, who was planning to escape in a small boat.

He was tied up and carried to the boat while dripping wet. Fang Zian wanted to take him as a stepping stone.

The Dream began to move towards the dock at full speed, and all personnel took the opportunity to eat dry food and water to fill their stomachs, because they all knew that they would have no time to eat after landing.

Fang Zian took a bag of dry food and came to Zheng Boping, who was huddled in the corner of the cabin with his hands and feet tied, and squatted down to look at him and smile.

"Zheng Erdong, you probably didn't expect that your Zheng family's navy is so vulnerable. It's completely different from what you imagined, right? You thought that with your Zheng family's navy, you could fight against the imperial troops. Look,

, we only have two warships, you are no match for us. The gap between dreams and reality is really big."

Zheng Boping glared at Fang Zian and said, "You devil, God will punish you for killing so many people."

Fang Zian smiled and said: "If you don't take my advice, I will come to trouble you? You are so polite to me, how could we be in this situation now? Isn't your God unreasonable?"

Zheng Boping said angrily: "Obviously it was you who came to attack my Zheng family. And now you bite back."

Fang Zian smiled and said: "Hey, you Zheng family are just ignorant, greedy, and don't know the limelight. You don't even think about it. The new emperor is about to ascend the throne. How can those old almanacs count? If I were you, I would have given up long ago.

privilege. Besides, what good things have your Zheng family done? You don’t have any evil intentions? What do you want to do by raising so many private soldiers? That’s all, you actually got together with Qin Hui. Then Lin Yifei is Qin Hui

His illegitimate son, you treat him as an honored guest. Qin Hui is a rebel, and your Zheng family are also rebels. Your whole family has lost your mind and got involved with the rebels. Now I even suspect that you are also connected with the Jin people.

You, me, are stupid, and you are so stupid that you didn’t even know to warn me. Your Zheng family is doomed, and no one can save you now."

Zheng Boping was speechless for a long time. This was an irrefutable reason. Lin Yifei's identity was sensitive, and the Zheng family really should not have taken him in.

"This bastard surnamed Lin, my Zheng family was destroyed in his hands. This guy is also responsible for today's incident. He wants to kill you, so my father can only help. Damn it, I want to see him

, I have to give him two swords." Zheng Boping cursed angrily.

Fang Zian smiled and said: "You can't see him anymore. He wanted to do something on that boat. After I saw it through, he had no way out. He wiped his neck. If you want to see the body, you can see it. I will deal with your Zheng family tonight."

, I will go and bring his body back to the capital tomorrow. This is evidence that your Zheng family colluded with Qin Hui to rebel."

Zheng Boping swallowed his foam and looked at Fang Zian and said: "Master Fang, please let go of my Zheng family, we are leaving the Song Dynasty. Everything here belongs to you and will be given to you. My Zheng family has a huge fortune, all of it will be given to you.

That’s it. We just leave the Song Dynasty and go to Fanguo to live in peace.”

Fang Zian smiled and said: "Your Zheng family has had this attitude for a long time, so isn't it okay? It's a pity that at this time, it can't be done anymore. So many people have died, and I mobilized troops like this, I must give an explanation to the court.

.If I let you go, will the court let me go? Don't think about it. Just eat this bag of dry food. Although it is not as delicious as your lion meat and tiger meat, it can still fill your stomach. Even if you die, you will still be a human being.

You are full of ghosts, aren't you? Aren't you people who have returned to Islam not afraid of death? When you die, you can go to heaven, and there are seventy-two virgins waiting for you, right?"

Zheng Boping looked at Fang Zian blankly, his eyes full of hatred.

Fang Zian threw the dry food at his feet, turned around and said to the soldiers guarding him: "Tie off the rope on his hand and let him eat. If he makes any attempt to escape, just chop him with a knife. You don't have to report it to me."

The soldier loudly agreed. Fang Zian stood up and left. After leaving the cabin and standing on the bow of the fast-moving ship, Fang Zian looked into the distance. The Citon Harbor in the distance was dotted with lights, as bright as stars.

…

Quanzhou Pier is still busy, even after dark, there is no rest here. The battle on the sea has no impact on this place, but when the big ship with black smoke sails in, it causes a commotion. All

No one has ever seen such a big ship without sails.

After the ship docked, the more than two hundred people who got off the ship carrying bows, arrows and weapons made the dock explode. Some even saw the second owner of the Zheng family being tied up in the crowd.

"Isn't that... Zheng Boping, the second owner of the Zheng family? Why was he kidnapped? Was he kidnapped by pirates? Oh, that's incredible."

"Isn't that right? The pirates actually landed ashore, what should we do?"

Amidst the discussion, Fang Zian came to the top of the pier and announced loudly to everyone: "Everyone, we are soldiers of the imperial court. Zheng Zhilong colluded with Qin Hui to rebel and intended to commit rebellion. Now he has been found and taken into custody. From now on, on the pier,

The cargo on all ships is not allowed to move. Those who have not unloaded the cargo will stop unloading, and all personnel will gather above the dock. This is a serious crime of treason, not a joke. I believe that you all don’t know this, so you are not guilty. But tonight, I feel wronged

Everyone, stay on the dock and don't move. We will make arrangements after dawn. If you have any dissatisfaction with the Zheng family, feel free to mention it. This is all their fault. How the Zheng family squeezes and bullies you on weekdays.

If you say it too, you will be punished as well."

Everyone looked at Fang Zian in shock and looked at each other.

Fang Zian loudly said again: "I know that many of you here rely on the Zheng family and are grateful to the Zheng family. There are also people who have joined Islam and been bewitched by it. However, I must tell you that your livelihood is not that of the Zheng family.

It was given by the imperial court. If the Zheng family is gone, the imperial court will take over. I am the Minister of Household Affairs of the imperial court, and I have full authority to lead the shipping department. My name is Fang Zian. I hereby guarantee that you will still have work and money tomorrow.

Take. The Zheng family will give you a salary, and I will increase it by 20% so that you can live a better life. In addition, there is nothing wrong with converting to Islam, but you need to remember that you are people of the Song Dynasty, not followers of God. Back then,

The Fang La rebellion in the south just invented a religion to confuse everyone. The Zheng family raised thousands of private soldiers and tried to follow Fang La's old path. You have to know that this is a fool's errand. No matter what you are thinking at the moment, please keep it.

Restraint. I keep my ugly words in my head. If anyone doesn't listen to my advice, he will be the one who will be unlucky. Everyone, do you understand?"

Everyone was silent and had their own thoughts in their minds. But they quickly reached a consensus on one thing. The Zheng family was going to be in trouble. This adult said that their livelihood would not be affected, so why bother? If they fulfill their promise tomorrow, can they

Wouldn't it be better to get 20% more salary? Let's take a look first.

Some people began to walk towards the open space of the dock, and more people gathered in the open space above the dock. Fang Zian nodded with satisfaction. He was not doing something unnecessary. It is necessary to control the dock. There are so many goods on the dock, worth

Ten million, if looting occurs, the loss will be huge. I am making money for the court, and this kind of thing must not happen. In addition, the people on the dock are directly related to the Zheng family, and they must be pacified.
