In the past, pirates had not been shored, and they had been robbed by him when he was a pirate. Of course, he was smarter in his work, robbing the rich and helping the poor. He not only did not rob the poor fishermen along the coast, but also helped them, thus gaining a good reputation and many eyeliners.

At that time, he felt that the officers and soldiers on the shore were actually just the same thing. Whoever fought for fear of life was more brave, and the weaker side was to scatter birds and beasts. Even if Zheng Zhilong later became a guerrilla guerrilla and was his colleagues with the generals on the shore, he did not take the soldiers on the shore seriously because they were still the same.

Although he had been to the north once and experienced several wars, he was the commander of the navy and was only responsible for transporting personnel and supplies. He did not go ashore to experience real wars. Therefore, although he felt that the government army would be more powerful, he did not have a deep impression.

But today, he witnessed a massacre of pirates by the government army on the shore. The number of pirates was actually smaller than that of pirates, but the war was a one-sided massacre. When he saw the soldiers forming a formation, the long spear formations of like forests rushed forward, the rainy arrows blocked the sunlight, and the continuous sound of gunfires. Faced with all this, the pirates with numerous people did not have the heart to fight desperately.

Zheng Zhilong made a secret comparison in his heart. If his hands were following all this, he had no choice but to find that the final outcome would not be unexpected. It was not until this time that he believed that the Qi family army massacred Japanese pirates during the Jiajing period, which was definitely true. Now, I thought that in the past, I thought that the Qi family army often killed in battle against Japanese pirates, which was exaggerated by others, and it was really naive.

It was not until this moment that Zheng Zhilong believed that pirates were powerful, but once the court became serious, there would never be any advantage. The final outcome was as we saw today. Thinking about the past, many pirates, including himself, were domineering the southeast coast and ignoring the government's practice. In fact, Yelang was arrogant and frog in the well. In fact, the court did not do its best to deal with it and didn't care about the sea!

Liu Guoneng's army is not a strong army in the north, but it is so easy to deal with pirates who have landed on the shore. Originally, Zheng Zhilong thought it was a bit difficult to destroy pirates, but after the intervention of the East Factory and the full support of the Governor's Office, it became so easy. Pirates such as Liu Xiang had been plotted against themselves without knowing it.

In fact, it is true that any maritime force can be greater than the court? A giant like the court really has to deal with pirates, but it is not much different from crushing ants. If there is any difference, it is just the speed of crushing ants.

Zheng Zhilong was staring at Taiping Port blankly. When he was thinking about things in his heart, he heard Sun Chuanting's cold voice sounding: "Send the order to lift the martial law!"

"Sir Zhongcheng, the battlefield has not been cleaned yet, so the martial law will be lifted..." Liu Guoneng quickly reminded him.

After hearing this, Zheng Zhilong turned to look at Sun Chuanting, and agreed in his heart that he had just finished the fight and had not had time to clean up the body. The sea of ​​blood would scare people...

Just as he thought of this, he suddenly came to his senses and immediately understood what Sun Chuanting meant: Are pirates rampant? Let the common businessmen come and see. The rampant pirates are not worth mentioning in front of the imperial army. The imperial court has the ability to defeat pirates and protect them!

Sure enough, Sun Chuanting explained to his confidant subordinates: "Let them all come and see, I am not just able to collect taxes!"

Liu Guoneng was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then understood and immediately followed the order.

So, the martial law that started yesterday was lifted. Some brave people, of course, were mainly those maritime merchants. After hearing the shouts of killing, artillery fire, crying for parents, etc., they came out with nervousness, fear, curiosity, anxiety, uneasiness and other mentalities to see what was going on.

Even the sea heroes like Zheng Zhilong were shocked. From this we can see what would happen when these people saw the sea of ​​corpses and blood on the shore. According to later statistics, the meat business of the restaurant in Taiping Port suddenly fell to the lowest point in history. It is said that the sea water in Taiping Port has been red for many days, and even brought ferocious beasts in the sea. Sun Chuanting, the nickname of the cold-faced King of Hell, became even louder, and it had reached the point where children could stop crying.

However, at this moment, Zheng Zhilong heard Sun Chuanting say something unexpected, and then Sun Chuanting said coldly: "Issue a notice to recruit pirates. As long as the pirates surrender ashore, the court will pardon them, and let them atone for their sins!"

"Mr. Zhongcheng, you are now exterminated by one rush to wipe out the pirates..."

An aide next to Sun Chuanting quickly reminded him, but before he finished speaking, Sun Chuanting glanced coldly and closed his mouth.

Perhaps Sun Chuanting was in a good mood, and he actually explained: "The emperor has an order. In the future, the Ming Dynasty will use these people familiar with maritime affairs, and it will be a pity to kill them."

When Zheng Zhilong heard this, the young emperor's face immediately appeared in his mind. He recalled what the emperor said to him in the Golden Palace, that the Ming Dynasty would fight for hegemony on the sea and show his power in the foreign land. Can the Western Barbarians come to my Ming Dynasty, but can't the Ming Navy go to the Western Barbarians?

He was thinking, but when Sun Chuanting turned to look at him, he ordered coldly: "There are many pirates who fled in this battle. There must be people who are unwilling to lose and who are not convinced of Wang Hua. The next time is the trouble, and you need to make great efforts to clear it out. Since the Western Yi has participated, I will give you another grace period. When the Denglai Navy arrives, I will ask for the heads of pirates such as Liu Xiang, Hong Yi and others!"

When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he did not dare to neglect and quickly responded.

The Denglai Navy had already gathered south at the emperor's will a month ago. Although the number of warships was not as large as that of Fujian Navy, if the two navy teams combined, even if they lost a lot of warships today, they would have enough strength to wipe out pirates.

The only thing you need to worry about at the moment is that, as Zhongcheng said, the next time will be in great trouble. The sea is vast, and if the pirates scattered and plundered, it will be really difficult to catch! I hope Zhongcheng's order of revenge can be useful!

The sun rose above his head and the weather was hot. The soldiers in Taiping Port finally began to clean up the battlefield under the gaze of the people who were watching and vomiting. At the same time, on the vast sea, the Dutch Taiwan Governor Putmans finally felt relieved. There were no pursuers behind him, and it was safe. After another count, he found that his fleet had two fewer bows, and he didn't know whether it was a war or a scattered one.

Looking back at the direction of Taiping Port and thinking about the dramatic experience, he couldn't help but feel depressed.
