The thirty-two-pound cannon is a very large caliber artillery with a much more charge than the twenty-four-pound cannon and the twelve-pound cannon, especially when they fire shots, hundreds of projectiles flew towards the target, which is indeed very powerful. %Net

But the larger the caliber of the cannon, it naturally means its recoil. A warship like a 32-pound cannon will not dare to equip it at all. Otherwise, dozens of cannons will fire together, and the entire ship will fall apart after a few cannons are fired. Only giants like the Dabao Ship dare to equip it with such cannons...

"Boom boom boom... In a volley, at least countless projectiles were sprayed out by the twenty-four cannons on the treasure ship, and for a moment, thousands of projectiles almost blocked the sunlight.

"Ah...my hand..."

When the white smoke dissipates, Dabao Chapter 414

The gunners on the surrendered ship saw that there was no one standing up on the deck of the other ship, and several sailboats fell from the towering mast from time to time.

On the "Happy Jack" pirate ship led by the leader, the pirate leader Jack was lying on the deck with a shotgun while rubbing his arm.

Jack was lying on the deck and cursing the sudden fleet opposite him: "Where did this bastard fleet come from? Why have I never seen such a banner?"

At this time, Jack was filled with anger. Just yesterday, he had just led his men to rob three merchant ships and swept the gold coins and goods he had put on. All the men were thrown into the sea by him, leaving only a few women. Unexpectedly, he encountered a fleet of unknown origin and beat him up to heavy losses today.

With his left hand covering his bleeding arm, Jack shouted loudly: "Rick, if you are not dead, get out of here!"

"Rick, are you a bitch dead?"

"Come on, head!"

At this time, a young red-haired man covered in blood stumbled to Jack's side, half-kneeled beside Jack and asked breathlessly: "Head. Chapter 414

What's wrong with surrendering me?"

Jack raised his right hand with difficulty, held a railing beside him and sat down slowly: "You......Calculate how many of us are there?"

"Boss, I just forgot it. Apart from those dozen girls, there are less than two hundred people on our boat."

"What, there are only more than 200 people?" Jack felt dizzy in front of him. His left hand, who was not injured, grabbed Rick's collar and shouted: "This is impossible. There are more than 300 people in this line, why did he lose so many people in one go?"

Rick didn't struggle, but pointed behind him sadly and whispered: "Head, you can see it yourself!"

When Jack's eyes swept to the deck, his heart couldn't help but twitch. These were brothers who shared life and death with him. Although Jack was cruel by nature, it was only for those merchants and enemies. He was still very caring for the pirates under his command.

Jack was stunned for a while and was about to speak, but a series of deafening sounds of cannons came from the right. Then an armed merchant ship that was originally following the "Happy Jack" was hit by three large-caliber projectiles. The broken wooden boards mixed with shrill screams came from afar.

Rick quickly poked his head out of the ship's side, looked back, his face changed a few times, "It's "Lao Lao", they began to hit the firepower and attack "Lao Lao". Head, quickly think of a solution, Lao Lao could not hold on for a few shots!"

"Puo! Puo! Puo!"

A series of projectiles fell on the sea, splashing rows of high water columns, and the white waves even splashed on Jack's face.

Because the projectiles fell too densely, the nearby sea surface was rolling up like a huge sea monster stirring. The waves continued to surge around, and before the waves in front had dissipated, the waves behind them rushed up. Even Jack, who was sitting on the Happy Jack, felt his hull shaking constantly. At this time, even Jack, who never gave up on his usual defeat, had to admit that they lost in this naval battle, and the opponent's firepower was too strong.

Jack looked sadly at the giant ship that was constantly firing projectiles at him on the right for a while, and said sadly to Rick: "Rick, you can immediately speak the flag. All ships evacuate quickly, we will lose this battle."

Yes, he lost in this naval battle, and he lost because of his arrogance and arrogance. He knew that although the number of ships on the other side was smaller than that on his own, the tonnage was obviously much larger than that on his own, but he ignored the advantage and wanted to fight with the other side, but ended up in a complete defeat.

"Head, we can't leave." Rick looked around and lowered his head sadly.

Rick held the ship's side and slowly stood up. He saw that at some point the other's ship had surrounded him and used the advantage of the number of artillery to bombard his ships. A pirate ship did not believe in the evil and wanted to rush out, but was attacked by four other ships at the same time. The pirate ship was bombarded at less than fifty meters away and was hit by at least dozens of projectiles, especially its cannonballs under the waterline. A large amount of sea water rushed in and soon sank down, leaving only some wreckage and pirates wandering on the sea.

On the Dabao ship, Mo Hui, excited, kept waving his arms, "Okay, good shooting, keep firing, don't stop!"

Dutch major Nain looked at the excited deputy commander of the Ming Dynasty navy in front of him with complex eyes. Mo Hui's command level seemed a little naive with Nain's professional perspective, but it was remarkable. During the battle, their level was gradually improving. With the firepower advantage far exceeding the other party, they sent pirate ships to the bottom of the sea. Now their advantages have become more and more obvious, and they have even surrounded these pirate ships. It is only a matter of time before the destruction of these pirates.

"Sir, those pirates surrender!"

A loud voice player who was thinking was awakened by Nain. He looked up and saw that a white flag had already hung on the other party's flagship.

"Did the other party hang a white flag?" Mo Hui raised the Qianli Mile Mile Mile and saw a white cloth piece floating on the highest mast.

"Oh, these pirates are really useless. Even Zheng Zhilong is not as good as Zheng's navy. At least the Zheng family's navy knows the end of the bloody battle." Mo Hui murmured a few dissatisfaction, then asked Nain: "Major Nain, can you kill them after accepting the surrender of the pirates in the West?"

"Oh...Oh God!" Nain, who was shocked by Mo Hui's words, quickly dissuaded: "Master, this is not allowed, and it is also a serious violation of humanity. Since he accepted the other party's surrender, he must ensure the safety of his life. Even if he committed any crime, he must be handed over to the judge to make a judgment. In addition, I suggest that you hand them over to the Dutch government and a just judge will judge their crimes." Nain, who had a small calculation in his heart, persuaded Mo Hui diligently.

"Haha...this is not impossible, it's just that this kind of thing still needs to be decided by Lord Lin. After all, I'm only responsible for the war, right?"

Mo Hui was not so stupid. He gently pushed the ball to Lin Feng's feet. Then Mo Hui directed the fleet to slowly narrow the encirclement and sent flags to order the other party to close the cannon doors and move closer to each other. All the pirates went on the deck to concentrate, otherwise they would never accept the other party's surrender.

According to Western maritime practice, the navy will make a judgment on pirates after capturing them, but they will generally be punished for hard labor. Except for those leaders who are extremely guilty, most people can survive. In addition, facing hundreds of black holes, the pirates are very sloppy and raised their hands on the deck.

Half an hour later, when Mo Hui, Lin Feng and Nain and more than 100 sergeants holding Minni rifles set foot on the "Happy Jack", Jack and his men were all stunned.

"God. He turned out to be an Oriental! It was an Oriental fleet!"

Looking at the group of black-haired and yellow-skinned people walking across the road, all the pirates on the ship screamed. They never dreamed that the fleet of Orientals was actually the fleet that beat them to pieces.

Mo Hui stood on the deck with his hands on his hips and said lightly to the blood-stained pirates in front of him, "Now, I'll just ask one question, who is in charge here?"

There was no movement in the pirate group, and everyone just looked at Mo Hui in shock.

At this time, Lin Feng pulled Mo Hui's sleeve and whispered: "Master Mo, these pirates don't understand what we say, you have to find an interpreter."

Mo Hui patted his forehead helplessly, "I forgot to bring a few translators here just now."

He immediately turned around and said to Nain, "Major Nain, can you translate it for us?"

Nain shrugged. "I am happy, but you are the commander. These pirates are British, and my English level is not very good, so you need to be mentally prepared."

Mo Hui was calm: "It doesn't matter. As long as you can communicate."

After saying that, Mo Hui stepped forward and stared at these pirates who were captured even as prisoners, and there was a hint of rebellious pirates in his eyes and said, "We are from the Ming fleet. Now you have been captured by us. I will ask again, who is the leader of you, stand up, otherwise I will not be polite to you...Neen, who was standing by, translated in English with his two swords.

Soon, a big man stood up and stared at Mo Hui and said in a deep voice: "I am their captain Jack. It is my idea to go to war with you. I hope you don't hurt my subordinates."

Looking at the Western man with a thick head and a strong body, Mo Hui nodded: "No, he looks a little bit arrogant. Since you have become prisoners, you must have the awareness of prisoners. Now hand over all the goods on your ship!"

Jack...Neen... In the end, the pirates helplessly handed over all the goods they had robbed over the past few days, allowing Mo Hui and the others to make unexpected money, but they also had some worries, such as when they were searching for the pirate's ship, they accidentally searched more than a dozen women detained by pirates.

As soon as these women were released, they started to cry. Lin Feng wasted his energy and found out that these women were Portuguese. After hearing that they were rescued, these women pestered Mo Hui all day long and asked Mo Hui to escort them back to China, but they made Mo Hui very depressed.

After capturing these pirates, Lin Feng commanded the sailors, merchants and servants they brought to move all the cargo from the pirate ship to his own ship. A fire burned the six pirate ships captured cleanly and then headed towards the destination... On the third day of the 10th year of Chongzhen

Pang Gang passed by Jinan with his artillery battalion, the baggage battalion, more than 1,000 personal soldiers and hundreds of cavalrymen. Nearly 60,000 refugees came with him.

In the same year, Wei led all civil and military officials from Jinan and thousands of military and civilians to go out to greet each other, and there was a stir again.

In the evening, Wei Tongnian and Pang Gang sat in front of the Jinan Governor's Office. Pang Gang had already informed the father-in-law of his garrison in Luoyang and Kaifeng respectively.

Wei Tongnian's muscles on his face slight squirming, "Son-in-law, are you really going to attack Henan?"

Pang Gang nodded affirmatively and said, "Yes, my father-in-law. Now the rebellion in the Ming Dynasty is getting worse and worse, but the bandits are constantly killing them. Although the son-in-law has severely damaged Li Zicheng and drove him to Hubei, the son-in-law is sure that he will make a comeback at most half a year. However, the national strength of the court has been exhausted and he can no longer reorganize the army to encircle and suppress. The only two soldiers who can only fight for war are deployed in Shanhaiguan and Xuanda. The bandits are allowed to rage in the heart of the Central Plains. But what are the ministers in the court doing? Apart from fighting for power and profit in the court, they will not do anything else. Is there any reason for such a court to perish?"

Pang Gang's voice was not loud, but it revealed an indescribable anger. In Luoyang and Kaifeng, he saw too many high-ranking officials and gentry living in luxury courtyards, living a life of debauchery, and outside the courtyard was filled with hungry refugees with skinny faces and skinny faces. Pang Gang was not a saint, and his mentality of saving the world and saving people was not possible. But he knew that the current social contradictions had reached the brink of explosion. Once it exploded, this dynasty that had lasted for nearly three hundred years would inevitably fall.

Even if he eliminates bandits like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, there will be Wang Zicheng and Zhao Xianzhong coming out. In this turbulent era, only by constantly expanding his strength can he not be overwhelmed by this turbulent tide.

Now the bandits led by Li Zi were so angry that they gritted their teeth towards Pang Gang, not to mention the Qing Dynasty. Huang Taiji and his group wanted to fry Pang Gang into the oil pan and add wine.

It is no longer a question of whether Pang Gang has ambitions or not, but if he doesn't prepare now, he will be swallowed up in the future and there will be no bones left.

Looking at Pang Gang's indignant face, Wei Tongnian smiled at Pang Gang, "Okay, don't show this face, let me tell you the truth. You are fighting outside, and I am not idle either. These days, I have made a statistics on all officials from Shandong County and above. I found that about 30% of those who are willing to stand on our side, and 30% of those who are still swaying. Another 40%... Another 40% let them get out!" Pang Gang said with a cold face: "Shandong is our roots, and we must hold them tightly. If Shandong is gone, we will become rootless duckweed. A place where we die is our best end. So, whoever stops us is our enemy!"

Pang Gang's voice floated in the dark signing room, indicating that another round of reshuffle was about to begin...

There is a small teahouse located on a bluestone street in the east city of Jinan. This teahouse has only two floors. In the past two years, more and more merchants have come from Jinan, and the business of the teahouse is getting better and better. The teahouse that could only accommodate dozens of people is obviously not enough. Boss Huang of the teahouse is thinking about whether to buy the restaurant next to him, but it seems that the scene is not big, because the boss of the restaurant asked someone a few days ago to find out whether his tone was intentionally reselling the teahouse, which made Boss Huang very angry.

Today, the teahouse was as usual, and it was crowded with people before noon, and more than ten tables were filled. Some people kept asking the guys to serve tea and snacks, which made the three guys so busy that they couldn't touch the ground, and they wanted to stick out their tongues and enjoy the cool air like the big yellow dog at the door.

Boss Huang walked in the teahouse and kept saying hello to regular customers.

"Oh, Niu Banto, you haven't been here for a while. You're very busy lately."

"TOEFL. Recently, I followed our prefect to go to several counties outside. It's so exhausted. Didn't I come here when I have time?"

This middle-aged yamen runner, wearing a soap suit, a national-shaped face, and an arrogant face, is the head of the prefect's yamen, who is in charge of the public security of this area.

"Niu Bantou, if there is anything new recently, let's talk to everyone."

"Hey, don't tell me. I've really opened my eyes after I went downstairs with the prefect these days."

There is no sense of confidentiality these days. When Niu Bantou saw that all the tea guests around him were surrounded, he immediately showed off and lowered his voice and said, "Do you know that I will bring a thousand soldiers there this time with the prefect."

"What, brought the soldiers there?"

The people around were surprised. In the past two years, the public security in Shandong has increased its rule over Shandong, and the economy has become more and more prosperous. I dare not say that I will not pick up the remains, but bandits of all sizes have disappeared almost all of them. After all, working part-time jobs can support themselves and their whole family. Who would like to keep their heads on their belts to eat?

Generally, it is enough for the prefect to go to the county below to bring more than a dozen yamen runners. Now that we have brought so many soldiers, something big must have happened.

"What the hell is it?" Boss Huang asked after him.

Niu Bantou whispered mysteriously: "This time I followed the prefect to arrest the county magistrates of Shanghe and Pingyin..."
