This kind of people are more harmful than Japanese pirates. We must not tolerate them. If we see them, we will definitely destroy them.
So when heading south, Shen Mingzhu's fleet attacked a dozen waves of pirates in total. There was originally a big pirate leader named Cyclops. He was so tyrannical in the southeastern waters that no one could compare to him, and all the towns along the coast had to pay tribute to him.
.
As a result, he heard that there was a treasure ship appearing on the sea. It might be a merchant ship from somewhere, so he immediately led a large number of people to plunder it.
Who knew that when he first saw the shadow of the big ship, the sea was foggy that day, and his vision was not very good. He thought it was a treasure ship that was not much bigger than him. But when the whole ship was revealed, he was stunned.
.
Soon some warships that were more powerful than his ship appeared and quickly surrounded his big ship. The Cyclops himself was frightened.
The result was that Shi Bicheng waved his hand, and several warships fired their cannons. Although there were also cannons on the Cyclops, allowing people to shoot at them, Shi Bicheng had controlled the range of firepower, and the Cyclops's cannons could not hit their ships at all.
Even if there were cannonballs coming, the accuracy was poor and they all fell into the sea.
However, the artillery of the warship that the division must ride on was very fierce, at least eight out of ten shots hit the target, so the Cyclops' ship was soon knocked crooked and slowly sank.
Then the division commander sent a signal to the flag soldiers, and the sailors surrounded him, attacked the Cyclops' ship, and captured all the people on board.
He also asked people to go up and control the big ship to prevent it from sinking. When the time came, he had people tow it to a nearby island, and then it could be used after resting.
As for the prisoners, except for the one-eyed dragon and their cronies who were directly killed and thrown into the sea to feed the fish, the other pirates were all ordered to join the navy, allowing them to reform and train on isolated islands overseas.
Along the way, they captured more than 2,000 prisoners, all of whom were concentrated on several isolated islands. After a while, they would be available for her use.
In this way, he fought against maritime risks along the way, and also attacked pirates along the way. In this way, he quickly crossed the border of Qin and arrived at the seaside of Yue.
Compared with the land route, there are no restrictions on transportation such as cattle, horses and mules, and there is no need to stay unless there are strong winds and waves. Therefore, the speed on the road is very fast. It only takes them less than ten days to walk for a month.
Can be reached.
Therefore, it originally took several months to return to Daizhou from Yue State, but this time by boat, we arrived in the waters of Yue State in less than a month.
Shen Mingzhu asked the fleet to go ashore in her seaside city, Fuyun Town, and the big ship parked at the dock built in Fuyun Town. In addition, she also sent the fleet to sea to search for nearby islands and fight against nearby pirates. In this way, both the sea and the land would not
hold up.
The seaside near the Yue Kingdom is relatively desolate, and many places are not suitable for building cities. They are all covered with boulders, tidal flats and other landforms. Even if there are people, they will not be inhabited until they have to go ashore for at least dozens of miles.
Fuyun Town is already considered a place relatively close to the sea.
Shen Mingzhu also had such a plan at the beginning, so he asked people to control Fuyun Town.
Now, after this period of construction, Fuyun Town is larger, with a solid city wall facing the Yue Kingdom, and many trenches outside the wall.
Fuyun Town thought it had taken refuge with Shen Mingzhu, but now it seems to be its own entity in the Yue Kingdom. Some people have done business with them, and a market has been built on the seaside. The people's lives are also very rich, and they have no worries about food and clothing.
