Chapter 1384 They are definitely not pirates

The reason why this Dutch businessman recognized the ship so easily is because he has seen it many times before.

In the past, he often saw this ship when he entered and left Malacca.

But the situation in the ship at that time was different from that now.

As for why this Dutch businessman was so out of control.

That's because of the origin of this ship.

When I saw this ship, I didn’t hang a pirate flag.

But now, the Vinio actually hangs the pirate flag.

A Portuguese warship actually hung a pirate flag.

What does this mean? This means that the appearance of pirates was premeditated, and the Portuguese official attacked them.

You should know that the Vinio is the main warship of the Portuguese. When the warships were all pirates, isn't it certain that the Portuguese did it badly?

Looking at the pirate ship attacked from three sides, the Dutch suddenly panicked.

He didn't feel embarrassed when facing the eight pirate ships alone. With his experience and excellent artillery, he was enough to defeat the pirates.

But adding these four Portuguese warships is different.

What is a warship? It must be a ship that specializes in combat. The warship carries as many as 60 cannons, and the cannons of this ship can be as high as half of their six ships.

However, the Dutch did not know that the Ming army's merchant ships were purchased from Tianjin Shipyards. Although they carried only sixteen artillery pieces, they were all twenty-four-pound bronze cannons with a caliber of about 140.

The largest Portuguese cannons on the opposite side are only twelve-pound cannons, most of which are six-pound cannons.

Now in the eyes of the Dutch, this situation is no longer suitable for breakthroughs, especially for breakthroughs that cannot be made in a positive direction.

The Dutch made a decision to break through to the pirates. It was much easier to break the pirates' encirclement than to break the Portuguese warships.

The Dutch immediately issued a flag slogan, asking the Ming ship to quickly turn the bow and retreat in the opposite direction.

Then the Dutch began to move goods and threw all the goods piled on the deck into the sea, so that the load on the ship could be reduced and the speed of the ship was increased.

Seeing the boxes of goods being thrown into the sea, the Dutch were so angry that they were itchy.

You must know that these things are valuable, so they were sent to Tianzhu. But now they can only watch the silver and gold slip away from him. How could he not feel hated?

"These damn Portuguese! They actually cooperated with the most despicable pirates. This is the biggest provocation to our Netherlands, these things raised by Biaozi!"

"You dogs are crushed and wait for me. Your grandfather Donabel will definitely come back to seek revenge on you, but you will definitely bring our Dutch warships to avenge you!"

The Dutch turned the bow while throwing goods, and the Dutch merchant could only curse helplessly.

Why do the Dutch prefer to give up the goods and turn around and run away? Because he knows that there is still a way to survive in the hands of pirates, because pirates often do not pay so much attention to human life. As long as the money you pay reaches the pirate's psychology, he may let you go.

But it was different when they encountered pirates dressed in the official Portuguese. Since these warships had pirate flags, they wanted to hide their official identity.

Therefore, when he caught himself, he would definitely kill someone to silence him in order to hide himself.

Therefore, the Dutch people must run away, so they must not be stopped by the Portuguese, otherwise they will definitely be dead.

And he did not forget to whisper the flags to the Ming people, and asked him to take off his burden and run away quickly.

After all, these Ming people are his God of Wealth, and the goods are gone this time, but next time, as long as these Ming people get stuck, there are channels for these goods.

The official saw the Dutch turn around and throw things, and he was also puzzled. Just now, the Dutch was still playing flags for him and said that we could fight. We had a great winning rate, but in the blink of an eye, the Dutch became cowardly, and the cowardly was still so completely.

"What do they mean?" asked the outsider, asking the person next to him who could understand the flag language.

"Boss, they said that the enemy is too strong and we cannot defeat it. We must evacuate immediately, otherwise there will be a danger of annihilation of the entire army." The person in charge of the flag slogan said truthfully.

Yuanwai looked at the four pirate ships that were moving forward rapidly in the front. It was only after these four ships appeared that these Dutchmen became like this, so there must be something strange about these four ships that the Dutchmen saw.

The official had insufficient experience at sea, otherwise he would not have cooperated with the Dutch.

But before coming, he also asked many people for inquiries. Donabel's reputation is still very good, otherwise he would not have cooperated with this person.

If this person who had been faithful before was so panicked and threw these goods so quickly, he would definitely encounter a fatal crisis.

Otherwise, with the Dutch people's desire for money and life, they will definitely fight to beat them.

So they will only be so straightforward when they understand that they are absolutely invincible and are in danger of life.

The official is also a courageous person. He immediately decided to listen to the Netherlands. He could make money again when he lost his life, and he would lose everything.

"Return the bow of the ship and throw away all the goods! Quick! Quick!" the official shouted.

"Boss!" Some people think that throwing so much goods is a sin.

But now is not the time to feel distressed, and your life is about to be gone, and you can still care about these things.

The Ming army also began to throw away the goods, and the ship immediately began to speed up.

The new armed merchant ships from Tianjin Shipyards are very fast, and can reach a speed of thirteen knots at full speed, even faster than those of the Portuguese.

After all the goods were thrown away, the speed of the run away suddenly exceeded that of the Dutch ship, leaving the Dutch behind.

When Donabel looked at it, he was envious of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty was rich. Look at this merchant ship, it started at 2,000 tons and had a full load displacement of 2,400 tons.

Look at your broken ship, the full load displacement is less than 900 tons, which is like a person who is more dead than others, and a person who is more likely to be thrown away.

When will I have such a powerful merchant ship be so powerful? That's a dream.

The external use is Tianjin's latest bulk armed cargo ship, which is a light cargo ship.

That's right, you're right, it's a light cargo ship.

In the eyes of the Dutch, the ship larger than the main battleship was just the light freighter of the Ming Dynasty.

So when Donabel said that the official position was very powerful, the official position could only smile awkwardly and say that his strength was very small.

This is very clear, Old Versailles.
