Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 415 Surrender

Ran Yao originally felt that it was not worthwhile for him to exchange his own life for twelve boats, but now that he has brought more boats, and he is living well, he can't help being happy for him from the bottom of his heart.

Li Di was busy for a while, directing the ship to move the anchorage.The anchorage was vacated for these almost 1000 ships, and then Wu De also came: "purifying", distributing clothes and food, and arranging accommodation for more than [-] people was not a big deal for the quarantine camps that were already familiar with the business, but this batch People are not like refugees transported from Guangzhou, but a group of pirates, and they must be handled with care.Wu De was afraid that Yanghe was young and inexperienced, so he decided to sit in town himself.

"Do you want to mobilize another company for reinforcements?"

"No need." Wu De said, "There are only two companies of Guanghai soldiers here, and an infantry company for riot control. The regular army has been trained for several months and can't handle a thousand pirates, old and young. Let's just run away. Australia." He paused, "Besides, don't get too nervous, people will think that we are gangsters."

So the tone of loose outside and tight inside is set.But "what if they want to see Ren Fu or He Xin?" These two people arrived in Lingao earlier, and their whereabouts and treatment can obviously be regarded as a model.

"Don't let them see you for the time being. Xiao Wei, this Ren Fu is yours to train."

"Isn't it Ran Yao's training? I'm brainwashing at most." Wei Aiwen pressed down the big-brimmed hat that was blown by the sea breeze, and touched the arm belt.

"He Xin is actually easy to talk—this guy has no opinions, he is just a soft bone, and he can do whatever he wants. Ren Fu can't do it. He thinks that we are dishonest. If we don't sell food, we will detain his boat... "

"Tell him that Zhu Cai is going to die?"

"It's so easy to say. If we can't say it, we will deliberately black Zhucai and get old."

"We must enlighten him well and let him know that Lingao is the right direction to represent the development of history." Wu De said, thinking that this matter is still a bit tricky.I took Yanghe to the quarantine camp.

There were constant telegrams from both sides, and Le Lin had already reported the approximate number of people on board.The kitchen here in the quarantine camp was busy opening immediately, and the damper of the recently renovated briquette stove was opened to blow air in, and the newly added briquettes burned red in a short while.Inside the pot was the usual first meal of the quarantine camp: gruel.

Wu De looked at it and shook his head: "Add half of the rice and add more vegetables."

"It's not that people who have been hungry for too long can't have enough to eat..."

"They are not hungry people. Even if they eat less recently, almost, they cannot be compared with the refugees who have not eaten or drank for many days. They need to add more vegetables, and there is no vegetable to eat at sea."

Dormitories, clothing, and health personnel preparing to conduct physical examinations and treatments for them have arrived one after another.All preparations have been made, and in order to add to the atmosphere, Ding Ding has hired the only group of folk drummers in the county to wait at the pier, ready to drum up and welcome.It is also planned to call the students of the National School to line up to welcome them.

Chen Haiyang said: "Don't be too grand, this kind of pirates can't be too respectful, lest they develop arrogance!"

Lin Baiguang and Le Lin returned to Shi Shishi's boat after exchanging information, and the whole fleet sailed to Bopu under the escort of the patrol fleet.

Not long after, I saw four masts in front of them covered with colorful flags. The ships with strange shapes were breaking through the waves, and the waves were rolling, and the momentum was extremely amazing.Shi Shishi was taken aback. The boat had no sails or oars, and it was moving so fast. It was probably an Australian "fast iron boat".In an instant, before the four iron fast boats got ahead of the convoy, Shi Shishi just wanted to tell the helmsman to be careful, but he saw that the bows of the four ships diverged to the two wings, and they had already avoided the convoy and turned around to the two wings.

As if for a show, the four iron clippers changed their formation from time to time around the entire fleet, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, sometimes holding the formation and sometimes leading the team, and shuttled back and forth in the fleet from time to time.

"So fast!" Shi Shishi is an old pirate, of course he knows what this terrible maneuverability means. Not only does the other party not need to consider the wind direction, but he can adjust the driving direction anytime and anywhere, as nimbly as a fish.No wonder there are only a thousand Australians, and seven or eight boats can gain a foothold in Lingao. Liu Xiang and the shopkeeper have nothing to do with them!

The sailors and family members on each ship, hearing that the Australian "iron clipper" came to welcome them, rushed to the deck to see that these boats have long been heard. They don't need sails and oars, they are made of iron but they will not sink. The "iron clipper" of "power".

"It's really made of iron! My mother, iron won't sink in water!"

"Probably not Chinese iron."

"Who knew! There is no sail yet, and it runs so fast."

"Monster! Monster!" Some sailors yelled in horror, and were knocked to the ground by the leader's mouth.He was immediately dragged into the cabin by his cronies and locked up.This can let the Australians know that they can't afford it.

The leaders knew very well in their hearts that this was a courtesy and a warning from the Australians, and each of them had mixed feelings.After all, no one knew about the situation with the Australians except Shi Shishi.

After being escorted for a while, the fishing boat suddenly accelerated its horsepower, and quickly disappeared from their sight, leaving as quickly as it came.At this time, the buoy outside Bopu Port had appeared in Lin Baiguang's sight.Then, a puff of white smoke rose from the towering Bopu Beacon Tower, and then there was a thunderous cannon.

"This is a salute to welcome everyone." Lin Baiguang said.

78 large and small sea-going ships, the largest of which weighs more than 300 tons and the smallest of which is more than 40 tons, are all Cantonese ships and Fuzhou boats that are common in the southeast coast. Now they are lined up along the natural breakwater made of rocks on the Lingaojiao , dropped the anchor.This naturally formed embankment of chaotic rocks has been transformed into a real sea levee, on which roads, lighthouses, forts, and trestle bridges have been built to facilitate landing.In this way, the pirates on board boarded the embankment from the trestle bridge with their old and young.

On the pier, the music team hired by Ding Ding is playing "Happy Meeting" and "Hua Lian Zhi" in turn.

Shi Shishi and a dozen or so main leaders have already put on their best clothes, and under the guidance of Lin Baiguang, they went to meet the "Australian big boss".

Chen Haiyang chose the place to meet the defected pirate leader, in front of the customs building in Bopu.Although the customs building is only a three-story red brick building, there is a large open space paved with cinders in front of it, and there is no bell on the clock tower, which looks quite majestic.Especially standing on the square in front of the building, you can clearly see the huge shadow of Fengcheng Ferry opposite the Customs Building in the back bay.Enough to impress.

Chen Haiyang had someone put a high-back naval captain's chair on the steps in front of the customs building.The naval cadets were transferred from the military and political school, and they were counted as guards.They all wore naval uniforms and straddled the latest issue mechanism of the Navy Petty Officer's Knife.The cadets lined up on his two wings, their backs straightened and they looked mighty.

From the bottom of the steps to the entrance of the square, 60 soldiers from each army and navy served as guards, and the sharply polished bayonets were lined up in a straight line.

The pirate leaders followed Lin Baiguang carefully. Except for Shi Shishi, everyone else came to Lingao for the first time.The momentary shock when the huge iron ship appeared in the field of vision has not receded. On the other side of the bay, there are tall pavilions standing tall and stretching out their long arms.From time to time, there were bursts of white smoke, and there was a rumbling sound.

"It's turning, it's turning!" Someone exclaimed in a low voice.

Sure enough, the long arm on a huge pavilion was slowly rotating, and there was a long rope underneath, hanging some huge cargo.Suddenly, a high-pitched and passionate scream came from far away, and the sound spread across the bay and went straight to the sky, scaring them all.

"Damn, what the hell is it called..."

"Don't talk!" Shi Shishi whispered.

Shi Shishi originally thought that Lingao's big boss would be more polite and asked to meet at the pier, and the two sides passed by with fists held together.Then it's everyone drinking and eating meat together - over the years, most of the people who have pulled a team to vote for the big shopkeeper have followed this routine.I didn't expect Lingao to be full of authority here.I can't help but feel a little awkward.

A cordon was set up outside the square, and all the servants and personal soldiers were not allowed to enter, and the swords on their bodies were also left outside.From the entrance to the steps, two lines of soldiers were heavily guarded, and the entire square was silent.Only the fluttering and fluttering of flags.

Lin Baiguang led them through the cordon to the steps.No one ordered, these people hula all knelt down.

Chen Haiyang can now speak a few words of Cantonese and Hokkien in this time and space, but he doesn't say a word, he only tells them to get up in proper Mandarin and don't kneel down.Xiong Buyou, who was acting as an interpreter at the side, took a step forward and spoke first in Cantonese and then in Southern Hokkien.

This kind of etiquette is the result of discussions among several people present. Chen Haiyang did not speak the dialect in order to show the status of Mandarin as the "national language", and asked Xiong Buyou to use the popular dialect translation to show respect for Jiang Ren.

Shi Shishi waited to stand up quickly, only to see that the big boss sitting on the steps was only in his early thirties, sitting on a high-backed rattan chair, wearing nothing but a blue cloth jacket with double breasts that Australians like to wear. Wearing a cloth belt inside—this attire is extremely simple, almost no different from the young soldiers around him.

It was the first time for everyone to see such a simple big boss, and they were a little at a loss.

It was Shi Shishi who had more dealings with the Traveling Group, so he hurriedly took a step forward, saluted with fists in his hands, and said something like "I have been famous for a long time, I am willing to work here, and I will work together and help each other in the future."After saying this, he presented the books he had brought—this is the roster and the accounts of ships, food, weapons, and gunpowder transcribed at sea in the past two days.As an expression of sincerity.
