More than 200 pirates in Liuhai Kingdom were excited when they saw hundreds of Great Zhou soldiers wearing armor because a few days ago, Tokugawa Santoshi, the lord of the Liuhai Kingdom, issued an order to all pirates: to capture a Great Zhou soldier and reward 100 taels of silver.

The reason why there are all kinds of pirates around Liuhai Kingdom is because of the national policy of Liuhai Kingdom.

In Liuhai Kingdom, pirates are a very normal business and require a lot of taxes.

Except for the fact that pirates cannot plunder the official ships of Liuhai Kingdom, they can plunder the others. Even the people of Liuhai Kingdom can plunder the people, and the local government will ignore this.

After Tokugawa Santoshi learned that the Great Zhou was going to attack Liuhai Kingdom, he naturally had to unite the pirates around him, and then issued this order and formed a pirate army.

Among the more than 200 pirates, there was a middle-aged man about five feet tall and wearing maroon clothes. This person was Mimura Jiro, the leader of these pirates. When he saw so many soldiers of the Great Zhou, he saw not people, but ten thousand taels of silver.

In his eyes, the soldiers near the Dazhou sea area were extremely weak in combat, not to mention that their number was twice that of the other party.

As for the black firearms in the hands of the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he had no idea what they were.

"Haha, I didn't expect the fish to come to my door!" Mimura Jiro said excitedly. The languages ​​of Liuhai and Dazhou were the same except for the different tones, so Zhao Yan and others could hear it clearly.

Hearing this, Zhao Yan was a little amused.

I don’t know where the other party got the courage, but he could actually treat the hundred elite Dragon Guards with one firearm, one person, as fish.

"You should be the pirate leader here. When you saw me soldiers of Great Zhou, you actually smiled. Do you think you could easily defeat us?" Zhao Yan asked with a smile.

Mimura Jiro glanced at Zhao Yan with contempt and said, "Boy, it seems that you don't know the strength of the grandfathers and their status on this sea. When you are captured, you can not only receive rewards, but also serve as a meeting gift for joining the pirate army!"

"Pirate Army?"

Zhao Yan looked at Kong Ze on the side, Xiao Zijie said in a gentle tone: "Except this leader, get rid of everything else!"

"Yes!" Kong Ze and Xiao Zijie replied with great excitement.

On the other side, Jiro Mimura held the long sword tightly and always felt a little weird.

Click! Click! Click!

At this moment, hundreds of dragon guards loaded the gunpowder into a shape of shapes, and then aimed at the pirates behind them.

Mimura Jiro shouted, "Go!"

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sound of a firearm sounds instantly, and a single sound can solve a person.

In the blink of an eye, nearly fifty pirates fell to the ground.

These people had never seen firearms before. Seeing such a strange situation, they were so scared that they ran away with their heads and ran towards the back.

However, how can their speed be comparable to that of a firearm?

Soon, the survivors were the pirate leader left.

Xiao Zijie kicked him in front of Zhao Yan.

"Official...Official...Please spare me, I...I'm just making a living. Those fishermen from the Great Zhou Dynasty, I...I can let go!" Mimura Jiro's head hit the ground and begged.

"May I have your name?"

"Mamura Jiro."

"What's going on with the Pirates you just mentioned?" Zhao Yan asked again.

Mimura Jiro's eyes rolled, and just as hesitated, Kong Ze placed a long knife on his neck.

"Speak quickly!"

"I, I...I...I said..."

"Three days ago, I received a notice from the Red Beard, the strongest pirate in Liuhai Country, that Tokugawa Santoshi would form a pirate army of 30,000 people to deal with the Great Zhou. After the event was completed, Xunyang Island, the island in the southern part of Liuhai Country, could become a private area for our pirates, and there would be no tax payment for five years. I was originally planning to go to Xunyang Island tomorrow, and then..."

"Thirty thousand pirate army? Do you Liuhai Country have 30,000 pirate army?" Zhao Yan asked with a look of contempt.

"I...we...have..."

Mimura Jiro was about to speak when Kong Ze, who was beside him, kicked him in the butt.

"If you dare to tell a little more lie, you will be killed immediately!" Kong Ze said coldly.

"Actually, all of our pirates have only... only more than 8,000, but... they are known to be 30,000 to the outside world!" Mimura Jiro said with his head shrugged.

Zhao Yan waved his hand and said, "Xiao Zijie, take him to the big ship, Kong Ze, take people to rescue all the villagers and give them comfort. You must not let them have no food and clothing!"

Half an hour later, Mimura Jiro was escorted to the large ship.

When he saw such a giant ship and many soldiers of the Great Zhou, he was stunned and fainted.

...

At night.

In the cabin, there was bright lights and a huge sand table was located in the center.

Zhao Yan stood in the middle, and Yang Hong, Xiao Zijie and Kong Ze stood on both sides.

Zhao Yan said, "I guess before we entered the sea, Tokugawa Santoshi had already learned that we were going to attack Liuhai."

"Now, Goryeo is half dead, and the pharmacist dares to take the initiative and will not cooperate with Liuhai. There are many small islands near Liuhai Island. Tokugawa Santo obviously wants to use those pirates to occupy multiple islands and then continue to consume our strength. Our large ships are only suitable for attacking Liuhai Island, not suitable for fighting in the small island. I suggest that we solve the eight thousand pirates on Xunyang Island first."

Xiao Zijie immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you only need to send two giant ships, and I can get rid of all the pirates on Xunyang Island."

Xiao Zijie stood upright, obviously full of confidence.

"Your Majesty, I only need a giant ship to annihilate these eight thousand pirates!" Kong Ze also said with great confidence. Only by giving him enough firearms and gunpowder, it would be easy to deal with these eight thousand pirates.

Zhao Yan looked at the two of them and curled his lips.

"If I only give you two hundred people, three hundred kilograms of gunpowder, and no firearms, can you destroy these eight thousand pirates?"

"ah?"

The two of them were stunned. The heroic spirit of the angrily rushing Yuntian just now disappeared instantly.

Zhao Yan also said: "Although the gunpowder we brought this time is sufficient, if we eliminate Liuhai and fight with Beimeng and Goryeo again, it will be a bit insufficient. At present, the biggest reliance of our Great Zhou army is gunpowder firearms, otherwise it will lose more lives. Therefore, we must know how to save money. To deal with these pirates, there is no need to use too many gunpowder firearms, and we must know how to use our brains to fight!"

"Your Majesty, you must have an idea in your mind!" Yang Hong asked.

Zhao Yan nodded slightly, and a sure smile appeared on his face.

Xiao Zijie and Kong Ze both looked at Zhao Yan with a curiosity look on their faces. They were eager to know how to eliminate 8,000 pirates with 200 soldiers and 300 kilograms of gunpowder.
Chapter completed!
