There were two methods for boarding a ship in ancient times. They either hooked the ship together with a hook and sickle and jumped directly into the enemy ship from the side of the ship, or hung it on the enemy ship with a hook, and then climbed directly onto the enemy ship through the rope locked by the hook.

The Dutch merchant ship was more than one meter higher than the pirates' blessed ships, and even if they were on the side, they could not climb up. So the pirates directly chose the hook lock. After approaching the Dutch merchant ship, the hook lock flew over like raindrops. After a while, the pirates rushed onto the Dutch merchant ship like ants.

As Prade ordered not to shoot, a group of Dutch sailors hid under the side of the ship and shivered, not knowing what to do.

The pirates didn't say anything politely, so they rushed up, snatched his musket, kicked them over on the deck, and then took out a rope to tie them up. For a moment, the deck seemed to be open, and they were scolded and scolded all the time, such as "Ba Gehaku Eat", "Broken Hook and Puliu", "Nige Totoru", "Fu Kejiu Ximu"...

The Dutch are desperate inside. Damn, which country is this? Why can’t I understand it? In fact, this country is not the same, but the words of many countries are combined together. Who said this group of pirates from any country?

Finally, a man who looked like a pirate leader climbed up panting. As soon as he flipped onto the deck, he caught a bundle of sailors like rice dumplings next to him. He slapped it, and then shouted in Dutch words: "Where are you guys?"

The sailor was beaten and tears came out. Hearing this, he quickly rumbled at Prade, who had been tied up. The pirate leader threw the sailor on the deck, then ran to Prade, grabbed his collar with one hand, and slapped another big ear, and then shouted in Dutch words: "Call your people to surrender quickly, or kill you?"

Prade was so wronged that he was wronged. He replied aggrievedly: "We didn't resist!"

The pirate leader then looked around carefully and found that the Dutch people were really not resisting, but his subordinates were whining and kept screaming. He frowned and shouted in Chinese: "Quiet."

A strange thing happened, and all the pirates understood it and closed their mouths and looked at him.

The pirate leader raised his hand and pointed to the stern of the boat, and ordered in Chinese: "Dutch all the Dutch people."

The pirates immediately dragged the tied Dutch to the stern and threw it into a bunch.

The pirate leader pointed at a Japanese Rankin and said, "You, guard."

The Japanese ronin immediately bowed and replied, "Hayi." Then he called on all Japanese people to surround the prisoners at the stern.

The pirate leader then ordered: "Others, go and see what's there."

When the other pirates heard this, they immediately rushed to the cabin with joy.

After all, this ship is the flagship of the merchant ship leader, and there are still many good things in it. In addition to rice, sugar, cloth and porcelain, there are also some excellent tea, wine, silk, deer skin and antlers.

The cabin was hit by disaster. The wine was opened and drunk directly. The sugar was grabbed and stuffed into the mouth. The tea leaves were stuffed into the arms in packs. The rice was sprinkled everywhere... After about a quarter of an hour, these talents gradually emerged from the cabin. One of the little leaders who spoke good Chinese in Chinese ran to the pirate leader and reported: "There are a lot of rice, sugar, cloth and porcelain, and there are very few tea, wine, silk and animal skins."

The pirate leader nodded and ordered directly: "Take your people to stay and drive the boat, and everyone else will go back to their respective boats and prepare to gather at the boss."

At this time, more than 30 big-fortune ships and more than 100 small boats had been gathered next to the largest coral island in this sea area. Hong Xu and Gan Hui both boarded Shi Daxuan's flagship. The three of them stood on the bow of the boat, chatting and laughing while waiting for their subordinates to come and gather.

The seven Dutch merchant ships were surrounded by their subordinates, so they would definitely not be able to escape, and the rest was just a matter of time.

Sailboats were shuttled back and forth on the sea, conveying messages, and good news kept coming. These Dutch people were merchants after all. They did not choose to fight to the death at an absolute disadvantage. Basically, they just surrounded them and fired a few shots and then surrendered. About half an hour later, a wave of pirates at the farthest distance came back, and the last Dutch merchant ship also surrendered. Shi Daxuan laughed and said, "Lao Jiu, I said they would not fight for our lives, just a bunch of merchants. Do you really think they are the Dutch navy."

Hong Xu shook his head and said awkwardly: "It's still awesome for the starlings. I thought they would always be a little bloody, but I didn't expect that they were all a bunch of soft balls!"

Shi Daxuan said proudly: "I am willing to accept the loss of the bet. This time you will take someone to escort the prisoners and goods back."

Hong Xu said dejectedly: "Okay, you have to leave me some good things. I heard that Xiabo brought a lot of exquisite things from the Netherlands on the Batavian merchant ship that he passed by here. Don't swallow them all."

Gan Hui joked: "Brother Jiu, don't worry, that thing cannot be eaten, we can't swallow it."

Upon hearing this, Shi Daxuan laughed for a while, and then he reminded: "Be careful when delivering goods. If the Dutch people brought to Manila, you can send someone to keep an eye on them. If they let them run away, it will be troublesome."

Hong Xu asked curiously: "Why do you have to ban a few people to Manila? Isn't it enough to throw them all over the island? There are seas on all sides, and they can't escape even if they want to."

Shi Daxuan shook his head and said, "You don't understand this. If you want to lead the Dutch to fuck the Spanish, you have to rely on these people. Remember, before you get off the boat, you must cover everyone's eyes with black cloth, so that they don't know that we are guarding them separately."

Hong Xu was still confused, and he asked, "Why do we have to rely on these people? We have arrested all the people and the goods are secretly transported to Manila to sell. Wouldn't the Dutch still try their best to find the Spanish?"

Seeing that he was stunning the casserole and asked to the end, Shi Daxuan had to explain in detail: "Everyone can take the goods to sell them. The Dutch are clear about this. They only suspect that it was the Spanish. Just for this doubt, they may not necessarily go to fight against the Spanish. Only by making them think that all the prisoners are locked in Manila will they run to fight against the people."

Hong Xu was still a little confused. Are people more important than goods? He said in confusion: "Are there only a few thousand people? As for fighting with people?"

Shi Daxuan rolled his eyes angrily, and he said impatiently: "The Dutch are so precious. Do you think they are all the same as our subordinates, and they are just a cheap life. Their entire country has only a million people, and not a few thousand people are there? Okay, okay, let's not talk about these, you will understand then. Just be careful not to be discovered by the Spanish."

Seeing Shi Daxuan like this, Hong Xu had to shut up and stop. He would not be able to stand this starling if he started to get angry.

Pirates besieging Dutch merchant ships from all over the place rushed over one after another. In the end, all the seven Dutch merchant ships were escorted to the gathering place. Hong Xu led his troops to escort the seven Dutch merchant ships back as Shi Daxuan ordered.

After returning to Suluhai, Hongxu directly ordered that all the Dutch people be covered with their eyes and be taken on a small boat. Most of them were sent to a deserted island. Only the captains of a few merchant ships were secretly sent to Manila by him, where there were their strongholds. He specially sent a hundred trusted Luzon subordinates to take these seven people to the strongholds in Manila, and told them to take turns to guard them for twelve hours, and they must not let these seven people run away.

As for the goods, he ordered people to unload them from the Dutch merchant ship, leaving half of the rice and part of the sugar, and all the others were sent to Manila in batches by boat.

Before Hong Xu finished his work, Shi Daxuan and Gan Hui welcomed another group of Dutch merchant ships. There were only five merchant ships in total, from Batavia to Dongban. The ship was loaded with Batavia spices, peppers, amber and other specialties, as well as precious metals, medicinal materials, telescopes, clocks and other exquisite things transported from the Netherlands.

These were sold to the Ming Dynasty, Japan and North Korea. Although the quantity was not very large, the value was very high. Therefore, the Dutch East India Company sent additional personnel, five ships were equipped with about 1,000 people, and the number of musketeers reached about 500.

This is naturally not worth a spoil for Shi Daxuan and Gan Hui. They easily took the man and the boat to the pot. At this point, they have completed the mission in July. They have to wait until next month to do business. Shi Daxuan and Gan Hui also took their respective people to escort the Dutch merchant ship back to Suluhai to deal with the captives and stolen goods.

It takes seven or eight thousand miles from Batavia Road to the East. Even if you raise your sails, it will take at least forty days. Therefore, the Dutch have not noticed the robbery of this time. There are more than a few merchant ships in East India. In August, they sent six merchant ships from Dongfan and Batavia to transport the cargo of the month.

Needless to say, the endings of these twelve merchant ships were the same as those of the previous twelve merchant ships. They were all snatched by Shi Daxuan, Hong Xu and Gan Hui, along with the people and ships. In mid-August, the Dutch East India Company finally realized something was wrong, because the merchant ship did not arrive on time last month, and there was no news at all. Did they encounter a storm at sea?

At this time, the Dutch had not realized that they were intercepted by pirates, because Zheng Zhilong, the largest pirate leader in Southeast Asia, has now gone to the Ming Dynasty to be the prince, and Liu Xiang, the second largest pirate leader, is their partner. It is almost impossible for other pirate forces to eat up five or six of their armed merchant ships.

The merchant ship disappeared when it encountered a sea storm, so the Dutch did not take too fierce measures. They just sent a team of search and rescue ships to search the east along the route they set up, hoping to find these two fleets.

In September, they still sent merchant ships on time, because the business on both sides could not be delayed. After so many years of hard work, the Dutch East India Company has gradually occupied the Southeast Asian market. Every month, sales at the strongholds in various countries have a fixed quota. If the customer pays all the deposits, the customer will definitely not be able to finish with you. If you do this a few times, the market may be lost. So in September, they not only sent the goods of the month but also made up for the share in July. In other words, they sent more than ten merchant ships in both directions this time!
