Chapter 115 Ocean Fleet

"Stop, what are you doing?" A pirate standing guard shouted to a middle-aged man who was running in panic like a broken dog. The man was covered in blood and covered in bruises. What was even more surprising was that his left arm was covered in blood, as if he was scratching a demon, panting, and he knew he was not a good person at first glance.

The man took a breath, wiped his face, slapped the pirate in the face with his right hand, and scolded: "You are a little fucking me, don't open your dog's eyes to see who I am? I am your King Pulpus."

The famous pirates on the South Sea of ​​Pulpus are said to be from Sanfoqi. They were once a brave general. Later, they became pirates and ran rampant in the South Sea, looting and killing past merchants. The merchants of the Southern Song Dynasty were often poisoned by him. He once said: "I only rob the Chinese, and they have a lot of oil and water. It is more cost-effective to do it once than to do the Sanfoqi business several times."

The Supreme Kingdom of China has always been a "golden country". It is rich and admired by foreign countries. The Chinese businessmen walking on the South China Sea naturally became the fat sheep in his eyes. It is unreasonable not to poison him.

He understood the art of war and used it to restrain his pirates, making his pirate life even more like a fish in water and invincible. The most tragic merchants of the Southern Song Dynasty once jointly wrote a letter to the court, asking the court to send troops to sweep the South China Sea and create a favorable and safe environment for them to conduct overseas trade. The Southern Song Dynasty court considered that the Mongolian army was in a hurry and could not even take care of the northern border, so how could he still care about these matters? Therefore, pirates such as Pulpus were even more unscrupulous and acted fiercely against the merchant ships of the Southern Song Dynasty.

The pirates's signature is indeed the name of a man. The shadow of the tree was shocked and he nodded and said, "It's the king, it's the king. What's wrong with the king coming here?"

Pulpus was used to being rampant, so he didn't pay attention to the pirate's words. He kicked him away and scolded, "Idiot." He rushed into the parody.

Before he could take a few steps, a middle-aged man came up surrounded by a group of pirates, his face darkened, and he shouted, "Pulpus, stop for me. This is my territory, not your place, and you have to look at the owner to hit the dog. If you hit my man, you have to pay your hand. If you come, cut off his right hand." Like Pulpus, he robbed the Chinese a lot and learned a lot of Chinese.

The pirate leader is named Fei Luolie, and he is also a famous pirate leader who is rampant in the South China Sea. He is engaged in the pirate ranks earlier than Pulpus, and his power is greater than Pulpus. He is obviously the leader of the pirates in the South China Sea and does not take Pulpus seriously at all.

Pulpus did not resist, let the pirates hold him up, and sneered: "Filero, if you dare to touch a hair of my hair, your doomsday will come."

Fellero curled his lips and didn't believe it at all, saying, "Some people think he is the sun in the sky, but in fact he is not even bullshit. Pulpus, you are just this pile of shit. You said, who have you messed with? Take your copycat. If your copycat is still there, I can spare you again. You are nothing now. Don't talk to you more, just kill you." His hand waved.

The pirate raised his knife and was about to chop his neck. Pulpus finally softened and said, "Filero, wait. Let me tell you clearly. I have been a general in this life. I just have a fucking lard and I didn't think about it. China is vast and their people cannot move. They think they have a lot of oil and water, so they just need to deal with them. Now, their court sent a fleet to take over my nest. I came to you to report to you and ask you to prepare early. You fucked my good intentions as shit. If I had known, I would have jumped into the sea and died, which would have been cleaner than killing you."

"Is there such a thing?" Fellero didn't believe it at all and said, "Are you afraid of death? The Chinese court, they have no way to deal with us. Our court will not care about us. As long as we give us more benefits, they will support us."

Pulpus spat and said angrily: "Filero, you don't think about it. I'm so happy that I don't enjoy my happiness at home. What are you doing here? Husband a girl is more happy than being cowardly from you."

This was very reasonable. Fellero waved his hand and stopped the pirates from attacking and asked, "It's really true? You didn't tell lies? If you dare to tell lies, don't blame me for being rude."

Pulpus said angrily: "If you fucking love, you believe it, if you don't believe it."

"I believe you once." After thinking about it, Fellero still felt that his words were trustworthy and decided to let him go for the time being.

As soon as he finished speaking, a small leader rushed in like flying, looking frightened, and took a breath: "Report to the king, there are many warships on the sea."

As soon as the little leader finished speaking, Pulps shouted anxiously, "They are here." His face turned pale because of excessive bleeding. Pulps, a fierce pirate, was not so courageous. It was really the battle of Fang Maodang toppled his nest that shocked him. Except for the hundreds of people who escaped by chance, all the rest fell into the hands of the Song army, either killed or became prisoners.

When a pirate hung his head on his belt, he would not take death seriously at all. It is impossible to scare him out of fear. The reason why he was scared was because the artillery of the Song army was too powerful. With the dense firepower of the invincible warship, his nest was like giving it a pear. The firepower of the invincible warship was very fierce, and it was the best army in the world at that time. Even the Mongolian army could not resist it. He was lost in front of the firepower of the Song army. Although Pulpus was fierce, it had not reached the level of the Mongolian army. If he was not scared, it would be a strange thing.

What scared him the most was that a shell landed three meters away from him, and a wave of heat rushed over, and his left arm hit a stone that had exploded and bloody.

Pulpus was a general who knew he could not resist and ordered the pirates to rush up, but he blew oiled his feet and drove a small boat to Fellero for asylum.

What he never expected was that Fang Mao had arrived just as soon as they arrived. For Fang Mao, he knew how many pirates were in the South China Sea. He knew where these pirates were hiding, and he knew which pirates had great power. This was the result of his last time going out to sea to follow Zhao Langchun's order and asking him to draw and collect information about pirates in the South China Sea. Through his efforts, he could clearly understand the situation of pirates in the South China Sea and wait for the imperial court to send troops to wipe them out.

Considering that the current military pressure in the Southern Song Dynasty had been reduced, the war situation against the Mongols was already great, and they could free up their hands to deal with the problem of pirates, creating a safe environment for the merchants of the Southern Song Dynasty who were engaged in overseas trade. Now, the court no longer directly came out to conduct overseas trade, but issued licenses to the people for business. The profits of overseas trade are a major source of tax revenue for the imperial court, and pirates should not be allowed to run rampantly and violate the economic lifeline of the imperial court.

It is precisely based on this strategic consideration that Li Jun decided to take advantage of Su Dingfang's opportunity to go out to sea to ask Fang Mao to lead a fleet to protect them and to smooth out the pirates in the South China Sea.

Fang Mao knew very well that pirates were so harmful that he wanted to wipe out the pirates. When he received the imperial edict, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep for several nights. What made him most excited was that Li Junte ordered two invincible warships to be used for him.

The reason why they allocated the latest type of warships such as the Invincible Battleship to Fang Mao's command was that Li Jun was considering that they were going to the Cape of Good Hope this time, the wind and waves on the sea were harsh and the safety was very problematic if the ship was too small. Therefore, the ships transferred to them were all large ships, which could enhance their survivability at sea.

Another reason is that Li Jun considered that Su Dingfang would go to the Middle East and the Roman Empire this time, and he would have to go through many countries. He might as well take this opportunity to show off his power and want these countries to know the prestige of China. It is not that Li Jun is very fond of merit and likes Xuan Yao, but that this is a necessary measure.

The best lesson for Emperor Wu of Han to expedition to the Second Division City was forcing Emperor Wu of Han to make this decision because the Western Regions did not know that the Western Han Dynasty was powerful, and they robbed and massacred the Western Han envoys and merchants carrying a large amount of property. Moreover, this situation became more and more intense. If they did not exert their power and shock them, the consequences would be even more serious. As Emperor Wu of Han expected, after the victory of the Second Division City in the Western Regions, the Western Regions were "feared" and they did not dare to make things difficult for the Han envoys and merchants of the Western Han Dynasty.

The overseas trade carried out between the Southern Song Dynasty and Southeast Asia was similar to this. Because the Southern Song Dynasty's court concentrated its troops in the north and had no time to take care of the South China Sea, countries in Southeast Asia despise the Southern Song Dynasty and did not take the merchants of the Southern Song Dynasty seriously. There were also many court officials secretly colluded with pirates and instructed them to endanger the merchants of the Southern Song Dynasty, and they sat on the ground to share the spoils.

With these reasons, it is necessary to show off your power and deterrence.

Of course, Li Jun has another purpose of communicating a large fleet, which is to establish stable diplomatic relations between Su Dingfang and Fang Mao in Southeast Asia and to ensure that they occupy the South China Sea attempt to restrain themselves. The South China Sea has been China's territorial waters since ancient times, and maintaining the territorial waters is one of Li Jun's missions and must be completed.

If countries like Sanfoqi do not obey orders, then you don’t have to be polite. Fang Mao has a powerful fleet in his hand and can speak with gunboats. Just like when Zheng He went to the West, Southeast Asian countries would not listen and go to war directly.

It is precisely from these aspects that this most powerful ocean-going fleet in Chinese history has appeared on the South China Sea. They will fight for China's territorial waters, and the pirates are just the beginning.

Fellero slapped Xiaotou in the face and cursed: "You useless thing, just a few broken ships, are you scared like this. Go and find a woman to get in the crotch." He kicked the little boss far away, looked at the pale face with contempt, and left disdainfully.

According to Fellero's idea, the little leader and Pulpus were both courageous people. After he saw the warship parked on the sea, he realized that he had wronged the little leader. What he was talking about was the truth.

The core of the ocean-going fleet led by Fang Mao is naturally two invincible warships, as well as some other frigates. When Zhou Shan built the invincible warship, Li Jun knew that the advantage of this kind of warship is that it has a large ship, a large load, strong survival ability, and strong firepower. However, the disadvantage is that the ship is too large and its operation is not very flexible. If the enemy uses a small boat to maneuver and fight close to it, the problem will be big.

Li Jun said this idea, and Zheng Jinghe asked for support from the above statement. He also thought so. After researching with Zhou Shan, he decided to develop a series of guard ships, deployed around the invincible warships, and protect the invincible warships. This idea is very similar to the modern society's aircraft carrier battle group with aircraft carriers as the core. In fact, under the circumstances of the time, invincible warships were like the current aircraft carriers. Although the technological content was incomparable, this configuration was naturally reasonable.

When Su Dingfang arrived in Guangzhou from Ningbo and met Fang Mao, he was also very surprised. His two trips to sea were completely different. The previous time there were only twelve small ships, but this time there were hundreds of warships. In today's terms, it was "blade guns to replace cannons", and it would be impossible to be surprised if he was not surprised.

Even Su Dingfang, a well-informed person, appeared, and it was unreasonable that Flero, a frog in the well of a small foreign country, was not surprised.

Fellero's surprise disappeared in a flash, because it immediately turned into a terrible courage, and the ocean-going fleet began to launch an attack. The invincible warship's firepower was so dense that it was nothing to say, and there were hundreds of warships of different levels to help. This artillery attack was terrible. Even if he had the courage, he would be scared into a terrible courage.

Fang Mao and Su Dingfang stood side by side at the bow of the ship, smiled at Su Dingfang and said, "Old Su, let's guess, you said we need several rounds of bombardment to scare the pirate, Fellero, to the crotch of his pants."

He really knows how to bet. He actually bets with such things. Su Dingfang couldn't help laughing out loud, punched his strong chest with a punch, and said with a smile: "I said it won't last more than three rounds."

"You are too arrogant to him. People like him are bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. They are specializing in pinching soft persimmons. When they can't pinch them, they are afraid." Fang Mao looked down on him very much, stretched out his index finger with his right hand and said, "I will scare him to pee his crotch after a bet."

Su Dingfang was also excited and said, "What is the bet?"

"If I lose, I will give you two taels of silver." Fang Mao's performance was a bit like a rich man who was greedy, and said, "If you lose, you have to give me four taels of silver. Don't be slouched, that's it."

Fearing that Su Dingfang would not agree, he waved his hand and shouted: "Prepare! Fire!"

"You are unfair." As Fang Mao expected, Su Dingfang immediately expressed his objection, but his objection was invalid because his voice drowned the roar of the cannon.

Hundreds of artillery fired volleys, and the shells were as dense as fireflies in summer nights, as if a huge net was covering the island. Then a ball of firelight appeared, and a shocking explosion sounded, mud and sand flew, dust and shrapnel were raging. In the face of such dense firepower, not to mention the pirates of the Firero mobs, even the fierce and warlike Mongolian army could not resist. The pirates were so scared that they looked like stupid gooses, standing stupidly, and they didn't know how to run away.

People who have never seen artillery are all at a loss when facing artillery. The Mongolian army also reacted the same when they first encountered artillery. The pirates' reaction created conditions for the artillery to increase lethality. The broken limbs and arms were broken, and the broken intestines were flying everywhere, especially the intestines were very beautiful and colorful in the air, like a colorful picture. If painted with bright red, it would be even more beautiful, so beautiful that even the national painter could not describe it.

With just one volley, the entire island seemed to be plowed, with overturned mud and sand everywhere, and bright red everywhere. From a distance, it looked like the entire island seemed like an animal covered with sores. This sore is naturally the masterpiece of artillery.

These pirates have been damaging the Chinese a lot. Fang Mao was very indignant of them and showed no mercy at all. He seemed to have no money on shells, and shouted: "Come again. Get ready! Let it go!"

Artillery was the favorite of the Song army. As long as the cannon was used, the Song army would be invincible. His orders were a beautiful song for the soldiers. If they followed, the second round of artillery was fired again.

After several rounds of artillery came down, the entire island was full of wounds and was blown up in a disastrous manner.

Looking at Jiao Fai on the island, Fang Mao smiled happily, and patted Su Dingfang on the shoulder with ease and said, "Old Su, tell you that these pirates do many evil deeds, everyone is a murderer, covered with the blood of me, Chinese. You don't have to be polite to them, you must eliminate all evil." He patted the cannon and said, "It's best to use cannons to deal with them. If you die, you can't let them have a whole body!"

It was very calm, and the resentment in my heart was free. Fang Mao cannot be blamed for his hatred. It was because the pirates in the South China Sea were too violent and forced to hate. The Southern Song Dynasty was a very strange dynasty. Its military and political weakness was strong, but it was economically outstanding. Some scholars believed that its prosperity exceeded that of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. The wealth that should have allowed the people to live a good life was protected because it did not have strong national defense forces, which became the cause of invasion of foreign enemies.

The merchants walking in Southeast Asia were also deeply affected by the imperial court's inability to send troops to eliminate the pirates in this area. Fang Mao went to sea last time and learned about too many pirate atrocities. He had long hated him to the core. With this opportunity, he naturally would not be polite.

Su Dingfang also felt the same way and nodded in agreement: "Go and go ashore."

"Get the beach! Land!" Fang Mao waved his hand, and the Marines jumped into the water and ran towards the shore with the sea water.

It is actually not at all to say that it is a landing. These pirates of mobs can compete with the elite Marines of the Southern Song Dynasty. Not to mention that they were hit by artillery fire, they were not opponents even if they were not bombed by artillery fire. The Marines did not encounter resistance at all when they got ashore, even if they were not a cold arrow.

While Fang Mao and Su Ding Fang were walking, the soldiers rushed over with Fellero and Pulpus. Fang Mao stretched out his big hand and grabbed Fellero like an eagle catching a chicken, and kicked him in the stomach. Fellero screamed and fell down on his back.

Fang Mao and Su Dingfang could see clearly that the crotch was indeed wet. They asked one of their very concerned questions in one voice, which was: "Which round of urination were you?"
