Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Zhang Jiexu and his subordinates on the shore were stunned by the fierce operation of the Ming army.

Originally thought that the Ming army would not be able to defeat the pirates. After all, they had three warships, and they were all giant ships.

But the Ming battleship rushed directly to the middle of the pirate warships and fired. What shocked them even more was that they actually sank two pirate ships.

Who knew that before Zhang Jiexu and the others recovered, the warship of the Ming army did another incredible thing.

They actually went directly to the last pirate ship. You must know that the warships of the Ming army have already taken advantage.

Under such circumstances, colliding with a pirate ship is obviously a way to kill them all. Could it be that the captain of the Ming army has lost his mind?

But after a loud noise, they saw the pirate ship being smashed into the middle by the Ming warship, and only then did they remember that the Ming warship was a real iron-clad warship.

Zhang Jiexu's artillery, although they found a few cannons that can still fight.

But they didn't have a chance to fire at all, they could only watch the Daming warship send the three pirate ships into the bottom of the sea.

It wasn't until the Ming warship docked that Zhang Jiexu realized:

"Hurry up, the divers will go to the pirate ship to search for the treasure right away, and the others will follow me to meet General Ming."

After the Zhengde docked, Zhu Cihong led the guards and took the prisoner off the battleship, while Ma Bao stayed on the battleship on duty to patrol.

Soon seeing hundreds of people running towards the port, Zhu Cijiong knew that Zhang Jiexu must be coming.

They were originally going to Huangming Island. Now that they came to Anbo Road, Zhu Cijiong decided to try his luck.

Zhang Jiexu didn't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty was coming, so he led some well-known Chinese on the island to bow in front of Zhu Cijiong:

"Thanks to the soldiers of Ming Dynasty for their help, Zhang Jiexu is right, please go ashore and have a cup of tea!"

Zhu Cijiong stepped forward to support Zhang Jiezhang, smiled slightly and said:

"Excuse me, you are Zhang Jiexu? Then I will go and taste the special products of your island."

"Okay, general please... ah, you are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."

"See Your Highness, Your Highness, please forgive Zhang Jiexu for his clumsy eyesight, everyone, come and pay your respects to His Highness the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty."

How could Zhang Jiexu have expected that His Highness the Crown Prince would come to his Anbo Island, let alone that it was His Highness the Crown Prince who would save them.

When he heard about Ben Gong, he realized that he hurriedly called his subordinates to come over, and wanted to greet him again.

Zhu Cijiong grabbed him tightly:

"My lord Zhang, hurry up and waive the gift. This time I came to Anbo Island to ask for you."

"Your Highness has nothing to say, as long as there is something useful to Zhang Jiexu, just speak up."

Surrounded by the guards and the Chinese on Anbo Island, Zhu Cihong stepped into the hall of the Anbo Mansion.

Zhang Jiexu immediately ordered to serve the best tea to His Royal Highness, and at the same time various fruits were also placed on the table.

Zhu Cijiong had something on his mind, so he just ate some fruit symbolically, then picked up the teacup and took a sip:

"Master Zhang, to tell you the truth, there was a severe drought in the northwest of Ming Dynasty. I was ordered to go to Huangming Island to transport food. When passing by the waters of Anbo Island, I found pirates attacking Anbo Island. Do you know the true identity of the pirates?"

Zhang Jiexu shook his head:

"Your Highness, we don't know the true identity of the pirates, but judging from the battleship, they are definitely not real pirates."

Zhu Cijiong nodded:

"We have captured a prisoner, and because of an incident in your jurisdiction, he is now handing over to you for interrogation."

As Zhu Cijiong said, he made a leading gesture to Pu Chongtian, and the prince's guard immediately escorted the prisoner up and knelt down in front of them.

Zhang Jiexu bowed to Zhu Cijiong again:

"Thank you Your Highness, Zhang Jiexu will interrogate this person immediately."

Under Zhu Cijiong's instruction, Zhang Jiexu began to interrogate the pirate prisoners.

He looked at the prisoner coldly, and suddenly slammed the table:

"You are not pirates, but Dutch soldiers. You'd better tell the truth, otherwise your life will be worse than death."

The pirate prisoner was taken aback by Zhang Jiexu. He didn't want to admit it at first, but he had already recognized him as a Dutchman, so he still resisted.

"My lord... Your lord, we are soldiers from the Netherlands. We came to Batavia this time mainly to inquire about news, but we found that Batavia has too many troops and many large warships.

We pretended to be pirate ships and planned to take Anbo Island as a base to wait for the reinforcements from the Netherlands. We did not expect that the Ming warship was so strong that our three warships were defeated by one of your warships. "

Sure enough, it was a Dutchman pretending to be a pirate. Zhang Jiexu and Zhu Cijiong looked at each other, and he continued to ask:

"Where are the Dutch reinforcements, how far is it from Ambo Island, and how many troops are there?"

"My lord, the Netherlands fleet is preparing for war. It has not set off from the mainland yet. We came from the Cape of Good Hope. We are the vanguard of the Netherlands. The villain has not hidden a word, and begs for mercy..."

This information is very important. Da Ming devoured all the colonies of the Netherlands in South Asia in one go. They couldn't swallow their anger, and revenge was inevitable.

The reason why the emperor ordered the construction of the bunker was to prevent the Dutch fleet from launching an attack on the South China Sea Province after the large troops left.

Zhang Jiexu bowed his hands to Zhu Cijiong and asked:

"Your Highness, how to deal with this person?"

Zhu Cijiong:

"Put them in prison first, and send them to Ceylon for mining if there are more."

"obey"

Knowing that the Netherlanders were coming to take revenge, Zhu Cihong didn't dare to waste time, he wanted to tell his father the information as soon as possible.

So he went straight to the point with Zhang Jiexu:

"My lord Zhang, in order to solve the disaster in the northwest of Ming Dynasty, the Palace needs some merchant ships. I wonder if your lord can provide some. After the delivery of food is completed, it will be returned immediately."

Zhang Jiexu stood up and clasped his fists:

"Thanks to Your Highness, Anbo Island will fully support His Highness in disaster relief. Anbo Prefecture still has some merchant ships. We are willing to provide Your Highness with fifty merchant ships and fifty thousand shi of grain for disaster relief."

Zhu Cihong was overjoyed:

"Okay, on behalf of the disaster victims of Ming Dynasty, I would like to express my gratitude to Master Zhang, and will also truthfully report the achievements of Master Zhang to the emperor.

Due to the urgency of time, I will leave immediately. I hope that Master Zhang will send the merchant ships to Huangming Island to transport food directly. Thank you for your help, and I will leave! "
