Joseph smiled bitterly: "Why didn't you meet it?" Moreover, Daming City Boshi also raised the price of goods to the previous price. ”

Tom was shocked and said, "How so? Wouldn't we be going to die? ”

"There's no way, but the Daming Navy promises to escort us."

Tom's face softened slightly, and the leader of the navy on the side learned in detail the number and location of the pirates' ships, and then let Tom and them leave, escorting the caravan to the depths of the sea.

After driving for about an hour, they saw dozens of sea ships in front of them stopping them and approaching them. The leader of the Daming Navy drew his long sword and shouted:

"Fight!"

Soon, the fleets of the two sides approached, and the Daming sailors had already bent their bows and arrows and were ready, just waiting for the distance to get closer and enter the range of the bow and arrows.

"What's that?"

I saw that on the pirate's big ship, the planks were opened, revealing holes, and then the barrels of the guns were sticking out.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

There was a thunderous roar, gunsmoke was everywhere, two of the Ming ships were immediately smashed, and the other four ships caught fire, and the Ming navy was in a panic.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Another roar.

"Bang ......"

Dense muskets rang out, and the Ming soldiers began to fall, wailing.

The hot weapon faced the cold weapon, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the Daming Navy Division was defeated and fled towards the Daming coast in a panic. The soldiers on the two smashed ships fell into the water, but the pirates did not attack them, allowing them to climb onto the other ships, and let the Ming sailors escape.

The merchant ships also turned around and ran, and they did not dare to stay. There is no doubt that those pirates will think that the Ming Navy was hired by them, and if such a thing happens, will the pirates still only need half of their goods?

I'm going to kill them all.

Therefore, these merchants of the feudal kingdom also ran towards the Daming coast. While running, I was worried that pirates would catch up. However, to their reassurance, the pirates did not pursue them, and seemed to be afraid of getting too close to the Daming coast.

The fugitive ships caught up with Tom's ship, and when Tom heard that they had been defeated by the pirates, he also hurried to speed up, and more than a hundred ships fled towards the Daming coast.

Hangzhou.

In the Dengxian Pavilion Restaurant, the two sons of the Xu family are still celebrating, and they are also celebrating with some small and medium-sized businessmen in the southeast, who are all people who provide goods for the Xu family. One by one, they gathered around the two sons of the Xu family, flattering them.

"Second son, third son, in the future, this southeast will be the world of the two sons."

"Yes, two sons, what five great families, they are already outdated."

"From now on, we will follow the two sons."

"First suppressed the price, kicked out the five major families, and then raised the price, the two sons are really Zhuge reborn. Admire under it. ”

"Admire!"

"Admire!"

"Hahaha......" The two sons of the Xu family laughed proudly.

"Don't worry, you follow me, there will be no more five great families in the southeast in the future, and the future family will be you."

"Thank you, two sons!"

"Pedal ......"

There was a rush of footsteps, and a man ran up panting.

"Second Son......"

Xu Kun turned his head with a smile, and his expression froze: "Butler, didn't you follow the boat out to sea?" ”

"Something's wrong! Something is wrong! ”

Xu Kun's face changed: "What's wrong?" ”

"Pirates, pirates......"

"Boom ......"

The crowd was in chaos, and although there had been no pirates for the past two years, it had only been two years, and the memory of the pirate ravages was still deeply etched in their minds. As soon as he heard the pirates, some people had already climbed down the stairs in a panic, and those who were a little calm ran to the window and looked out of the window, Xu Kun's legs were also trembling. The butler saw that there was a mess around him, but he was too tired to speak, and waved his hand again and again, which meant that the pirate had not come.

But where is anyone paying attention to him at this time?

A group of people rumbled out of the door, and then they were stunned, and the people looking out of the upstairs windows were also stunned.

There was a peaceful scene outside, bustling with people, where was there half a shadow of a pirate?

At this time, the butler gasped for breath a few times, eased up a little, and hurriedly said:

"Pirates have appeared at sea!"

"Hoo ......"

Xu Kun and Xu Ying both let out a long breath, only to appear at sea, and then their hearts tightened again. Grabbing the butler's shoulder, he said:

"How's the caravan? Did the trolls knock the pirates away? ”

"Defeated, defeated......"

"How did you lose? Who lost? ”

"The sailor was defeated, and now the sailor and the merchants of the vassal kingdom have run back. The merchants of the vassal kingdom are clamoring for you to compensate for their losses, and to lower the price again, even lower than before. Moreover, a group of merchants from the feudal kingdom also came to Daming, and they united to suppress prices. ”

Xu Kun staggered back and sat on the chair.

Day 2.

Zhang Juzheng, Xu Shixing and Xu Kun hurriedly rushed to Hu Zongxian's residence. Hu Zongxian was angry, he didn't expect that the sailor he had raised with a lot of money would be so vulnerable. He doesn't believe it, absolutely not. Seeing Zhang Juzheng and others coming in, he waved his hand and said:

"Don't be impatient, I will immediately send the whole army of sailors out, and I will definitely destroy those pirates."

Zhang Juzheng, Xu Shixing and Xu Kun were all overjoyed, and they all bowed their hands and said: "My lord is heroic." ”

City Division.

Xu Shixing sat in the center, Xu Kun and Xu Ying sat on the left, and the merchants of the vassal kingdom sat on the right.

Xu Shixing said to those vassal merchants with a red face: "Don't worry, just today, my Daming Navy Division has gone to sea with all his troops, and I will definitely wipe out all the pirates." You can stay in Daming for the time being and wait for the good news. ”

The merchants of the vassal kingdom deliberated in a whisper, and finally Joseph stood up and said:

"Lord Xu, if the Daming Sailor is defeated, we will ask for a further reduction, because we will use the money to buy a road with the pirates."

"The Great Ming Sailor will not be defeated!" Xu Shixing shouted in a condensed voice.

"What if!" Joseph insisted: "I said that if we lose, we insist on lowering the price." Otherwise, we can't trade with Daming. ”

"Then wait until you see my Daming Sailor triumphant, and then come and talk to me."

In the afternoon of the same day.

Zhang Juzheng, Xu Shixing, the Xu brothers, all the merchants of the vassal kingdom, and countless ordinary people of the Ming Dynasty saw the Ming sailors flee back in embarrassment.

The faces of Zhang Juzheng, Xu Shixing and the Xu family brothers all turned purple, and their expressions were full of uneasiness. And the faces of the merchants of the feudal kingdom were also not good-looking.
