The pirate leader Chen Sipan died, and the remaining dozen large sea boats under his command were all seized by the Ming Navy. Seeing this, the other pirates were even more panicked and ran away with their heads in their arms.

Unfortunately, the east wind was not conducive to sailing ships fleeing south, and the Ming navy was all sailing boats and paddle boats, and the speed of the ship was basically not affected by the wind direction. It was difficult for the pirates to escape and get rid of it.

The battle of pursuit and fugitives at sea continued until the sunset and night fell, and Yang Cong ordered the withdrawal of troops.

During this ambush, the Ming Navy almost captured all the pirate ships that Chen Sipan gathered. Except for more than 20 small boats that were sunk by a thousand kilograms of cannon at the beginning, the remaining nearly 200 pirate ships were basically captured.

However, Yang Cong did not stop there. The next morning, he and Yu Dayou led more than 100 new Cangshan boats to the chicken cage. As for the aftermath of Penghu, he handed over to civil and military officials and generals such as Tang Shunzhi and Qi Jingtong.

The battle in the chicken coop was actually coming to an end. The pirates stranded near the chicken coop were almost beaten by Tang Kekuan, leaving only thousands of Chen Sipan's confidants on Sheliao Island.

At this time, there were no pirate ships near Sheliao Island, so Tang Kekuan didn't have to worry about the pirates on the island escaping.

After Yang Cong and Yu Dayou arrived, they set up a thousand-pound cannon and slammed the bomb. After several rounds of shells, the pirates on the island surrendered obediently.

At this point, the battle that lasted several days had come to an end.

After this battle, the pirates on the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty and the ships they used to plunder were almost all in the hands of the official army. It can be said that the pirates and Japanese pirates had already completed more than half of them.

Of course, even so, it cannot be said that the pirates and Japanese pirates on the southeast coast are not troubled, because Yang Cong only destroyed the nest of the big pirate Chen Sipan. As for the other pirates, the main force was caught, there were still many remnants left in the nest.

Next, the prisoner's pirates are interrogated. To find the nests of other pirates, the direct interrogation will come as fast as possible.

Yang Cong simply set up a temporary court on Sheliao Island, and then ordered Tang Kekuan and Qi Jingtong to identify all the pirate leaders and take them to Sheliao Island and hand them over to him for interrogation.

The first person to be interrogated was the pirate leader Lu Qi, because he was the most powerful besides Chen Sipan. If he could pry his mouth open, other pirate leaders would probably follow suit and give honest explanations.

Lu Qi was completely desperate at this moment. Since he had fallen into the hands of the officers and soldiers, he never thought that he could still save his life. As for wanting him to sell his family and the remaining subordinates, it was basically impossible.

Therefore, when the Jinyiwei took him to court, he did not show any fear. Even Yang Cong picked up the gavel and slapped hard, but he couldn't move his eyelids. He was not afraid of death, and there was anything else to be afraid of. At worst, he could just use torture.

He had already thought about it, no matter what, he would not say anything.

Yang Cong was not discouraged when he saw that he looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water. He had a way to make this guy speak.

He looked up and down at Lu Qiyi for a while, and then said majestic: "Lu Qi, honestly explain, where is your nest."

Lu Qi raised his head, rolled his eyes, and then lowered his head, without any intention of opening his mouth.

Seeing this, Yang Cong picked up the gavel again, patted hard, and then sternly said: "Lu Qi, I will ask you again, do you think you are saying it?"

Lu Qi looked up helplessly and said, "What are you talking about? If you want to kill and cut, you will be the one who wants to be killed. If your Grandpa Lu frowned, you will be able to raise it."

Oh, my mouth is quite hard, but I don’t know if the bones are the same.

Seeing his appearance, Yang Cong couldn't help but sneer: "Do you think no one would say it if you didn't say it? Do you think your subordinates are as afraid of death as you?"

this!

When Lu Qi heard this, he couldn't help but frown. He didn't know where his nest was. His subordinates knew too much. What should we do?

Seeing his hesitation on his face, Yang Cong couldn't help but continue to tempt: "The reason why I want to find your nest is just to prevent your subordinates from continuing to fight for the family and robbery is not to kill them all. Even if I have to do so, I may not kill them. Why do you resist so much?"

What a joke?

When Lu Qi heard this, he said disdainfully: "Are you lying to the gods? Do you think I will believe it?"

Yang Cong said lightly: "Why do I want to lie to you?"

Lu Qi still said disdainfully: "I am the pirate leader, can you bypass me?"

Yang Cong nodded slightly and said, "Of course, what are the benefits of killing you? I am not a bloodthirsty person."

Lu Qi still said with disdain, "What are you pretending to be? Isn't it good to kill me? Can't you be promoted to a higher position?"

Yang Cong smiled and said, "Add to the title? You should have some understanding of the ranks of the Ming Dynasty. I am now the right deputy envoy of the Censorate and the Minister of War. I will be the Secretary of the Six Ministry. Chen Sipan and his subordinates are so many heads, isn't it enough for me to advance to me? What else can I think of? Grand Secretary of the Cabinet? Chief Auxiliary of the Cabinet? If you were Xia Yan, if you were Yan Song, could you give up your position to me?"

What this said seems to make sense. This guy is already the right deputy censor and assistant minister of the Ministry of War at a young age. He was promoted to the next level and became the Minister of the Six Ministers. As for the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and the Chief Cabinet, whether Xia Yan and Yan Song are willing to give up their throne, even if he is not old enough, he has never heard of a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet in his twenties in his twenties in his prime in the Ming Dynasty.

However, Lu Qi thought about it carefully and sneered, "Don't fool me. Are there any people who think they have made too much money these days?"

Unexpectedly, Yang Cong shook his head and said, "You are wrong. The so-called rabbit dies and dogs cook, and the birds are all covered with bows. Think about it, if I wiped out all you, can this position of governor be still sitting? If it were you, what would you do?"

This guy wants to raise the bandits and respect themselves!

When Lu Qi heard this, he couldn't help but look excited. If he didn't know the dirty things in the court, he might not believe Yang Cong's words. The problem was that Yang Cong, Yan Song and the wealthy maritime merchants would not deal with each other. If these pirates and Japanese pirates were really wiped out by this guy, it would probably be the end of this guy's position as the governor of Zhejiang Zhi. Yan Song and the wealthy maritime merchants would definitely try their best to transfer him away. At that time, the sky in the southeast might change again.

Thinking of this, he said skeptically: "You really won't kill me?"

Yang Cong said lightly: "It depends on whether you know the tact or not. If you don't know the tact, there will naturally be someone who knows the tact, right? Anyway, I just need to leave a few birds to express my intentions."

This seems to make sense. No one is afraid of death. Who is willing to seek death if he can survive? This may be a real opportunity, and he cannot be missed in vain.

Thinking of this, Lu Qi couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said, "I can call you, sir, you have to count your words!"
