Chapter 697
Zheng Zhibao didn't expect Zheng Sen to be on the boat, and was stunned for a moment.

Doesn't he understand that opening the sea is detrimental to the interests of the Zheng family?He probably knew it, but he did it anyway. Isn't this a money-losing thing?
In fact, Zheng Sen did not rely entirely on the passion in his heart. He also had some insights into the current situation. His loyalty to Daming was actually a good thing for the Zheng family.

He felt that the Zheng family was too greedy, asking for so much money and dragging Daming to death would not be of any benefit to the Zheng family.

If the Zheng family supports Daming, so that Daming can continue and the status of the Zheng family can continue to be maintained, it is a matter of loyalty and filial piety.

If the Ming Dynasty is over, can the Manchus in the north watch the Zheng family gain tens of millions of taels of silver every year?Obviously impossible, it must be eliminated and then quickly!
Besides Gao Jingzhong's Western Wei State, if he wins the world, the Zheng family is not the confidant of the Western Wei Dynasty, and the Western Wei Dynasty cannot tolerate it. If the Zheng family continues to exist, it will definitely be wiped out.

The Zheng family and the Ming Dynasty are actually in a relationship of both prosperity and loss. Zheng Sen felt that the Zheng family gave up part of the benefits to allow the court to enrich the treasury and earn a few million taels less. Are we all fucked together?

In fact, even if the imperial court opens the sea, with the strength of the Zheng family, they can still obtain huge wealth by engaging in normal trade, so why must they be so greedy?
If there is no skin left, how will the hair be attached?It's a pity that the Zheng family, as well as the maritime merchants in eastern Zhejiang, and the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River didn't understand it. They all only valued their own interests.

Zheng Zhibao obviously didn't understand Zheng Sen. When he didn't know how to deal with his eldest nephew, the Ming army's lucky boat had already joined the pirate ship.

At this time, on the pirate ship, more than a dozen flying claws crossed the gap between the two ships and hooked on the side and fender of the Fuchuan. One flying claw happened to hook the shoulder of a Ming army musketeer, and the soldiers on the pirate ship pulled hard. , the flying claws hooked into the soldier's flesh, dragged him to the side of the ship's strings, fell into the sea, but was immediately pulled up again, and finally hung on the strings of the pirate ship, the pain caused him to struggle in mid-air, his limbs struggled, and let out a cry Heart-piercing howls.

At this time, as the flying claw exerted its strength, the pirate ship quickly approached the blessing boat, and the ship's strings collided with a "bang", and the Ming army, who was caught by the flying hook, was immediately squeezed into meatloaf.

At the moment when the strings of the boats met, Gao Yizhen shouted on the deck, "Kill!"

On the starboard side of the lucky boat, more than a dozen Ming soldiers suddenly stood up, raised their spears, and stabbed to death a Japanese warrior who was waving a Japanese sword and trying to jump onto the lucky boat.

For a moment, the spears on the side of the ship were flying back and forth. The pirates were very brave, but they liked to fight on their own.

The sharp spear was extremely sharp, piercing through the pirate's body without hindrance, and when it was pulled out, it brought up clouds of blood mist.

A North Korean was stabbed in the throat by a spear, and immediately dropped the weapon, covered his bloody throat with both hands, and fell to the ground on his back, with bright red blood leaking from his fingers, and the deck was soaked with blood and became slippery. Blood flowed down the gap and fell into the cabin drop by drop.

The two sides exchanged spears, people fell to the ground one after another, and the sound of killing on the deck was loud. The pirates on the pirate ship, holding various weapons, rushed desperately towards the blessing boat.

"Bang" was another loud noise, and the ship shook violently. The five pirate warships of the second echelon had already rushed over. Come back down soon.

As soon as the ship hit, a Japanese warrior brandished a Japanese sword and jumped onto the lucky boat. The Japanese sword was as fast as lightning, and split a Ming army in half in an instant.

Seeing this, Zheng Sen, who had stabilized his figure, stretched out his bow and set up an arrow, and pulled the bow into a full circle. A sharp arrow came in and was split open by the warrior. The warrior was furious, "Baga!"

However, before he could make the next move, the second sharp arrow "swished" and hit his chest. The samurai was shot back again and again, hit the strings of the ship, and returned to the pirate ship with his head upside down. , The wooden clogs on the feet were thrown far away.

Zheng Sen fired several arrows in a row, and shot and killed several people, but found that the pirates couldn't kill them all, and the continuous shooting made his arms numb, and he was almost out of strength.

The Ming army only had 200 people, while the pirates numbered nearly a thousand, including many fierce Japanese pirates. If the fight continues, Fuchuan will definitely be captured.

In desperation, Zheng Sen looked around and found nine pirate ships, two of which were paralyzed behind, getting farther and farther away from them, two of the other seven were cruising, and the other five had already connected.

The pirates on the pirate ship are desperately rushing to the ship, and some pirates have already jumped onto the lucky boat.

At this time, Zheng Sen suddenly looked at the two pirate ships that had been pulled away. They were bombarded by artillery and broke their masts. They slowly slowed down and were left behind.

Zheng Sen suddenly shouted, "Gao Yichu, burn their sails with a rocket, and cut off the hook with a knife!"

Gao Yiyi hacked a pirate to death with a single knife, and when he heard the words, he reacted and greeted quickly: "Hurry up and shoot the sails with rockets!"

The Ming army on the deck hurriedly opened their bows and arrows, and several rockets "swished" like a pirate ship, and immediately ignited the sails of the ship.

The Ming army in Wangdou hurriedly hung up the flag to give the order, but before the flag was hung, they were hit in the chest by a Japanese iron gunner, and fell directly from the Wangdou, and the body hit the deck heavily.

"Cut off the flying claws! Turn the rudder to the left!" Seeing that the sails of the pirate ship were on fire, Zheng Sen rushed to the edge of the fence and shouted anxiously.

The sailors on the blessing boat reacted and drew their knives one after another. A small flag ran to the side of the ship, drew out a seedling knife, and swung continuously. A stretched rope was cut off immediately.

The rudder was turned, and the moment the rope was cut, a tearing force immediately formed between the lucky boat and the pirate ship, and a gap was instantly opened between the tight ship strings.

The pirates on the pirate ship saw the Ming army suddenly cut off the rope, and the Japanese with the iron cannon immediately lit the match, rushed to the side of the ship, raised the gun and shot, and in a burst of "bang bang bang" gunshots, the people on the side of the ship The Ming army was shot one after another.

Xiaoqi, who was holding a knife, cut off two ropes in a row, and was about to raise the knife to cut again, but a projectile hit his chest, and Xiaoqi fell into the sea. Gao Yizhen stepped forward to cut off the last rope. The ship immediately separated from the two pirate ships.

"Swing the rudder to the left! Turn to the northwest and rush out!" Zheng Sen gave the order without hesitation.

The sea wind was blowing the sails, and the Fuchuan got rid of the two pirate ships. The ship sailed downwind, and the speed immediately increased, and the sails of the pirate ships were already on fire.

Although the other two Fuchuan didn't see the command flag, they saw the pirate ship's sails on fire, and reacted one after another.

On the lucky boat, the fighting continued. Gao Yiyu stabbed a pirate to death, pushed him to the side of the boat, pulled out his sword, and kicked the pirate off the lucky boat.

After being separated from the pirate ship, the pirates who boarded the Fuchuan were in a weak position and were gradually cleaned up. But at this moment, a cruising pirate ship blocked the way of the Fuchuan, but the Fuchuan did not change direction. It hit the bow of the pirate ship, tilted the pirate ship, and turned a right-angle turn on the spot.

The soldiers on the two ships fell down in groups, and when they stood up, the ships had moved away from each other. The pirates were just about to throw their hooks, when the opposite side fired a blunderbuss and shot the pirates down.

The lucky boat rushed over the barrier, the sails swelled, and immediately left in the northwest direction. The two lucky boats behind, one followed to break through, and the sail of the other was ignited by the pirates who reacted. The speed gradually slowed down and was besieged by the pirates. .

On the pirate's flagship, Haikou pointed at the two fleeing lucky boats, and said anxiously, "Fifth Lord, keep chasing them, they can't escape!"

Zheng Zhibao put down the binoculars, but said with a smile: "As expected of our Zheng family's seed!" After speaking, he turned to the boss and said, "Forget it, don't chase!"

The leader of the pirates was a little stunned, and said in his heart: "The son of the Zheng family, what do you mean, entertain us, use Lao Tzu's people to train your Zheng family's juniors?"

One day later, in the sea outside Shandong, Gao Yizhen pointed to the distant coastline and asked, "General, where are we going?"

Zheng Sen said: "We have deviated from the route, and we should be approaching Shandong now!"

"It was blown to Shandong?" Gao Yizhen was surprised for a while, and then said in surprise: "Doesn't this mean that the navy can actually attack Shandong directly?"

Zheng Sen was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Conditions permit, it's okay to be further away~"
