Chapter 76 Behind the scenes!
"Brother, do we really want to do this? If we really kill the imperial envoy of the court, we will have no way to go!"
"Of course." Faced with the advice of his cousin Liu Wu, Liu Xiang's eyebrows were still firm and insisted on acting alone and intercepting the imperial envoy sent by the court.
Liu Xiang said: "During ancient times, how many good ends can the bandits recruited by the imperial court have? Think about the 108 generals in Liangshan who eat big pieces of meat and drink wine in Liangshan on weekdays!
But the thief Song Gongming insisted on surrendering to the Zhao Song court, but Zhao Song let Liangshan fight all the battles that must be killed. In just a few years, one hundred and eight generals in Liangshan died. Even Song Gongming was poisoned. Can the court trust it?"
Liu Wu still said unwillingly: "But now the Zhu Ming court is here to recruit peace, and he also brings the will to be appointed to us. I believe that it will not be as shameless as the Zhao Song court."
"Hmph!" Liu Xiang snorted coldly, "The world is as black as crows. The Zhu Ming court and the Zhao Song court are both like birds. They are all civil officials who act as powerful and blessed. Even if we are recruited and become officials, we will still bow down in front of civil officials!
Nothing like now, I am unhappy with the civil servants, so I caught him and slashed him. As long as someone has a boat, a cannon and a gun, I am One Piece. When I have no money, I will go to rob the maritime merchants and catch noble and beautiful women to sleep. How happy it is!"
Liu Wu said in confusion: "It would be fine if the eldest brother is unwilling to be recruited, why bother to harm Zheng Zhilong? After all, Zheng Zhilong and his eldest brother are sworn brothers, but now the eldest brother comes to Fujianhai to intercept the imperial envoy of the court and blame Zheng Zhilong. If Zheng Zhilong knows this, not only will the brother not do it, but he will definitely die with us!"
Liu Xiang said: "Haha, our Shibazhi is brother, but who is not actually trying to annex the other party? Now Shibazhi is the strongest with Zheng Zhilong. If he gets help from the court, our Guangdong pirates will not accept Zheng Zhilong's annexation, and they will only end up dead and without a burial place.
Haha, fortunately, there are our people in Fuzhou to inform us. Otherwise, if Zheng Zhilong really wanted to surrender to the Zhu Ming court, we would not even have a foothold in Nanyang.
Therefore, only by intercepting and killing the imperial envoy of the court before Zheng Zhilong contacted the imperial envoy, and making the imperial envoy blame Zheng Zhilong, and let Zheng Zhilong continue to fight with the imperial court, can we Guangdong pirates sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight and continue to accumulate strength."
Liu Wu was silent when he heard this. As Liu Xiang said, only by intercepting and killing the imperial court and raising pacification envoys and placing the blame on Zheng Zhilong would be in line with the greatest interests of Liu Xiang's power.
Liu Wu was persuaded by Liu Xiang and actively suggested: "What the big brother said is that it is only a big deal to intercept the imperial envoy of the court this time. We must not leave a living mouth so that we can successfully blame Zheng Zhilong."
Liu Xiang nodded and said, "I think so too. This time, everyone in the imperial fleet must be killed cleanly and not let anyone go."
At this time, a crew member from the gazebo came down to report: "Chief, there is a small boat about five hundred meters ahead and is heading towards us. The small speculation should be the imperial fleet sent to test us."
Liu Wu's heart moved and said, "Brother, do you want to silence me?"
Liu Xiang nodded and said, "Of course, since you want to do this big thing, you must not let any enemy go. Ask the Clippers to cover up and kill them, don't give them a chance to send a signal."
Liu Wuying said: "Yes, brother, I'll make arrangements now."
...
"Sir, a fast ship is coming towards us!" Zidron shouted suddenly.
"How far is it from us?" Fang Rusong asked suddenly.
"Just four hundred meters ahead, the ship was very fast, they didn't use the banner, and they felt like they were coming in a fierce manner." Zidron had very good eyesight, which was the biggest reason why he got this mission.
Coming aggressively? No signs?
Hearing Qi Delong's words, Fang Rusong's ominous premonition became stronger and stronger. He couldn't help but take out the red firework signal flare and prepare for launching at any time.
"Haha! I saw them!" A pirate leader stood at the bow of the boat and pointed to a small sailboat in front of him and shouted: "Brothers! They are right in front of him, just a small sailboat, the boat is very slow, rush over and crush them!"
The excited shouts of the pirate leader were like a horn of charge, which made all the pirates excited, and the whistles, curses, and ghost screams were connected together.
"No, the other party is not good. Lord Fang, send a signal quickly. I will turn the bow of the ship now." Qi Delong was very good at hearing and hearing. As soon as he heard the howl of ghosts and wolves coming from the opposite side, he was sure that the other party was definitely not a good person and he was in trouble.
"Good!" Fang Rusong also heard the other party's ghost cry. Without any hesitation, he immediately took out the fire letter and ignited the fuse.
With a "bang", a ray of light rushed into the sky and then red flowers bloomed.
"It's a red signal!" The sentry on the watchtower pointed at the red fireworks in the distance and shouted in horror.
"The person who comes is not good! Escape quickly!" When Yu Zigao heard the shouts of the sentry, he immediately directed the fleet and fled towards Xiamen.
Although Zhang Chaozhong had been wandering for several years, he had never encountered such a dangerous situation. His heart suddenly tightened and his face was extremely pale.
"Click!"
Not long after Fang Rusong sent the signal, their small boat was crushed by the huge pirate ship. The small boat only had time to let out a moan and turned into powder under the crushing of the big ship.
Fang Rusong and Zidron jumped into the sea and escaped before the pirate ship was crushed. However, in the vast sea, the hope of escaping was very slim. It is estimated that the two of them are in danger.
"See them! Haha! Their ships are just the most ordinary blessed ships, small and slow, and they can't run away from our Western ships at all. Let's see where they run!" Liu Xiang looked at the imperial fleet running in front of him and laughed.
In recent years, the Fujian Navy has started wars with the Dutch and Shibazhi. The better sea ships have been consumed at previous battle stations, and the court did not replenish the navy. Just today's ten lucky ships were made up by the Fujian Navy.
On the other hand, Liu Xiang's side, because Liu Xiang had long defected to Spain and Portugal, most of the ships bought from Spain and Portugal were naturally far above the lucky ship.
"Mr. Yu, they are catching up!"
Looking at the ships chasing each other densely, the sound of the observation sentry reporting was trembling.
There were all ships behind, big and fast, and the pirates clamoring on the ship were creepy!
"Add to maximum speed and go forward at full speed!"
Although Yu Zigao was defeated by Zheng Zhilong one after another, he also had the glory of defeating the Dutch in his early years. Therefore, he still maintained calmness, stood on the bow of the flagship ship, commanding the fleet to accelerate, but was gradually chased by the pirate ship.
"Sir, the lucky ship is already the fastest!" the flagship captain screamed.
"boom!"
A shell landed on the sea five meters to the left of the flagship, causing waves to soar into the sky.
