"Let me." The seven or eight sailors on the ship fired at the pirate ship in a volley. Although this distance was too far away for the musket, the momentum of the musket still inspires the Ming army sailors.

The three-pound Fran machine cannon bombarded the pirate ship, but the distance of only a hundred steps gave the Ming army artillery an extremely accurate head. Several lead bullets directly hit the pirate's hull, instantly smashing several large holes, and the sea water continued to seep into the bullet holes.

The pirates who had been beaten to death by the previous Baizi Gun did not dare to fight back again, and they jumped into the sea to escape. But in panic they could not have thought that there would be no place for them to stand in the vast ocean.

The pirate ship, seven or eight feet long, began to sink at a speed visible to the naked eye. The sail was torn to pieces, and there was still some blood on the yellowed sail.

The pirates on the pirate ship that had been bypassed from behind were stunned. It took only a few minutes before a ship was sunk.

They stared blankly at the sinking ships on the sea ahead, and they woke them from their fear until the continuous roar of the Fran machine cannons.

The pirate ship was not vague and quickly shook it. Before the Ming army bird ship could turn completely, he quickly fled the sea area.

Seeing the pirate ship behind him fleeing quickly, the Ming army sailors on the bird boat cheered.

"Don't chase the enemy." Wang An looked at the fleeing pirate ship contemptuously, preventing the sailors from continuing to pursue.

"Sir, what should we do with these pirates?" An old sailor looked at the pirates floating on the sea with disdain.

After looking at it, there were about a dozen pirates floating on the sea, gradually moving away from the Ming army ships.

"Just let them feed the sharks." A young Ming army sailor smiled and looked at the pirates swimming towards the Ming army ships not far away.

"The pirates who swam towards us have picked up the others. As for the others, let them feed the sharks." Wang An sneered.

What is surprising is that the three-mass sailboat on the land and sea did not take the opportunity to escape, but wandered on the nearby sea.

After the Ming army picked up three pirates, they sailed away, and the large sailboat immediately followed the Ming army's bird boat.

Suddenly, a dramatic scene appeared on the sea, with a three-masted sailboat closely following a bird boat that was only eight feet long.

Dayu Island, a place called Fujia Island later in life, has now become the garrison of the Ming Navy.

Obviously, this sea area has become uneasy during this period.

The merchant ship followed the Ming army warship back to Dayu Island with tactfulness.

Until they got ashore, the Ming army sailors were eager to try.

"Wang Xieling, why did the Ming Navy actually do pirates?"

"I actually robbed a ship." A co-master walked to the dock and looked at the merchant ship parked not far away with interest.

He naturally saw that this was a merchant ship from land and sea.

"I was indeed robbed, but it was not intercepted by our Ming Navy, but a pirate." Wang An exhaled heavily.

He had been highly vigilant at sea before, but now he had just breathed a sigh of relief when he stepped onto land.

A bird ship was besieged by two pirate ships of the same level.

Mazu really blessed to bring the boat and sailors back safely.

"Pirate." The assistant chief was stunned.

After the pirates on Dayu Island were wiped out by the Ming army, the pirates in this sea area disappeared.

I haven't seen any trace of pirates for almost a month or two, so why are you making trouble now?

"Who knows, I heard that Sihai Commercial Bank has lost six ships recently."

"If this ship hadn't been lucky enough to meet us on patrol, I guess the Sihai Commercial Bank would have lost one more ship." Wang An curled his lips and pointed to the few merchants who had just docked.

The merchants seemed to recognize Wang An and hurried over.

"Sir, the common people thanked you for helping you." Several merchants saluted one after another.

"Okay, okay," Wang An waved his hand impatiently.

"Lu Hai lost six or seven ships in succession. Are you not brainy? You are running here?" Wang An cursed angrily.

"Sir, we can't blame us, so the people from the Chamber of Commerce want to have a meal."

"Before, the mighty army of the Ming Dynasty came to Luzon, and the shipping was cut off for several months. Now the shipping has just recovered. You can't just hide in the port and not come out just because of a few pirates." Several merchants smiled bitterly.

This is true. Which sea area is not pirates?

If several ships were robbed by pirates and would not go to sea, the Chamber of Commerce would have starved to death long ago.

"Thank you for helping me. These hundred silver balls are not respectful. I hope you can accept them with a smile." The man smiled, took out the already prepared purse from his sleeve and stuffed it into Wang An's hand.

The Xie Chang beside him stared at him, and he was full of silver balls.

Good guy, I can only exchange three silver balls for the pirate's head.

There were a bag of silver balls in front of me, and there were hundreds of them.

Oh my God, why didn't such a good thing fall on me?

"Okay, buy some good wine and meat for the brothers and reward them." Wang An said to himself and sent his wallet to his waist.

Having said that, it is really a good thing to make silver dollars. One bag can hold hundreds of silver dollars, which is almost worth seventy or eighty taels of silver.

But such a small bag can't hold seventy or eighty taels of silver.

The businessmen also smiled indifferently and felt so painful in their hearts.

This is the Longyang that was just cast in the Ming Dynasty. It is much newer than those Spanish silver dollars. In the officialdom of Luzon, shops and restaurants can exchange equivalent goods, and is almost universal in Luzon. It is said that even the Flang Ji people have acquiesced to the flow of these Longyang into Manila.

The value is even higher than the Spanish silver rounds in their pockets.

But thinking about it, at least the cargo of a ship was saved, and even his life was kept.

A mere hundred silver dollars is nothing.

After all, when the two pirate ships rushed over, the Ming army warships could turn around and leave.

Anyway, no one knows that the pirates robbed the ship and killed people in the vast sea.

But the Ming army's warships still chose to rush up and protected the land and sea merchant ships under the siege of two pirate ships.

"You guys, send them to the army supervisor." Wang An casually sent a few sailors who were approaching.

"You can't do anything that is unpromising." Seeing that several sailors refused to leave, Wang An kicked him over.

Several sailors smiled embarrassedly and pressed several pirates all over the wet and walked towards the camp.

During this period, pirate activities became increasingly arrogant, and the Ming army was also quite troubled. They also urgently needed to catch a few people and ask which force was causing trouble in this sea area.

I don't know if these little guys can give it some.

Of course, these were not what Wang An had to consider. He touched the heavy cloth bag around his waist.

He really likes these heavy silver dollars now, which is no better than silver.

At this moment, a Ming army official was staring at the merchant ship on the sea on the beach.

"This is the first ship." Xu Bin sighed.

"Ask you, it's already the eleventh ship." An official stepped forward and responded.

In just half a month, eleven merchant ships were robbed, all in this sea area.

Except for the few times when they happened to be encountered by warships patrolled by the Ming army, most of the ships were looted by pirates and set fire to the ships, without giving any way to survive.

If the pirates in the past would have let the ships and crew go after plundering the ships, but the pirates nowadays were particularly cruel, with six merchant ships disappearing into the vast sea.

This made the Shuishi Town very helpless. Liu Yu, who heard about this, was furious. He even thought that Xiao Wu was jealous of the treasure pot of the Sihai Commercial Company, fell into his hands, so he sat down to watch the Sihai Commercial Company's ship branch being robbed.
