The old blind man pinned the monocular to his waist, and stared at the large plywood ships of the Fur machine man on the sea in the distance with one eye, and after so many years of drifting on the sea, he and the pirates on board could clearly feel that these ships on the other side were not good birds. ~Top Novel,www.

Several sailing ships did not hoist the five-star red flag, and they dared to rush into this sea area so blatantly, without asking, they knew that they had bad intentions. A few of their bird boats couldn't beat them, so he immediately dispersed the fleet and fled the area.

The experience of dying at sea for many years made the old blind man feel that these ships were not simple, and they had to hurry back to Mindoro Island as soon as possible to report to the Fourth Guerrilla Fleet of the Far Southeast Ocean Fleet there.

As he expected, the dozen or so sailboats saw them scatter, and immediately showed their fangs, and chased after them. At this time, they were in the downwind position, and the other side was sailing at full speed, and several bird boats had lost the first-excellent-excellent-small-say-more-new-most-fast-WWW.UUXS.CC-machine. Although the hard sails of the junk were nimble, the speed in the upwind position could not be compared to that of the fully loaded sails of the West.

But the bird boat was more agile, and in a few strokes it turned around and fled desperately. But a few sailboats were so fast that they bit them to the death, and in less than half an hour they caught up with several other bird boats. In the end, only the old blind man escaped, and he clearly saw through his binoculars that the black skull flag was flying on the other side's ship, which was the symbol of Western pirates.

The sea area inspected by the old blind man was the northernmost part of the Far East control area, and it took him two or three days to drive a boat to Minduluo Island. He thought something big might happen, and it was a couple of large plywood ships with furlong machines. And it's kind of strange that they're obviously not going to Manila.

At the same time, two other pirate fleets patrolling the South China Sea were also attacked by pirates, whose ships were a mess of Western sailing ships. There were also Arab schooners. In the past few years, the pirates under Zheng Zhilong and Liu Xiang have slacked off a lot, and a group of pirates have been caught off guard, and there are very few pirate ships that have escaped.

The old blind man and a few pirate ships that desperately escaped reported the news to the guerrilla fleets stationed in various places of the Nanyang Fleet. Ye Changsheng, commander of the Luzon garrison, received a report from Fang Lianshu, commander of the Nanyang Fleet. Immediately an order was given to the Nanyang Fleet to clear the waters near Luzon as much as possible.

Two sailing ships and several naval guerrilla fleets received orders and left the harbor to pursue the pirates in the area where the accident occurred. Regarding the appearance of several waves of pirates, Ye Changsheng and Fang Lianshu, the commander of the Nanyang Fleet, didn't care much.

Because of the prosperity of Manila, pirates active in Southeast Asia have become more and more rampant in the past two years, and in recent years, there have always been desperate pirates entering the waters of the Far East-controlled area, but they are only a few ships, and they are soon drowned in the wolf-like Chinese pirate ships and are sunk one after another.

It was the first time that such a powerful pirate had appeared, but it was the size of several pirate ships. In recent years, there have been more and more merchant ships in Manila. Sooner or later, the pirates will fight here, so the Nanyang Fleet has already had a contingency plan. After all, now that merchant ships from various countries have begun to come to Manila one after another, although it is not the peak season, they must exterminate these pirates as soon as possible, so as not to let them plunder and harass the merchant ships of various countries, which will have a very bad impact on Manila's business environment.

For this reason, Fang Lianshu, commander of the Nanyang Fleet, also sent a telegram to Liu Xiang and Zheng Zhilong, telling them about the situation of pirates in the South China Sea. and let them send ships to conduct dragnet searches in the waters west of Luzon to clear the three pirates as much as possible.

This year, European merchant ships came to Manila very early. At this time of the year, only merchant ships from Southeast Asia, Arabia and Ming Dynasty entered the port. But it's only May. More than 100 Western sailing ships have already arrived, and this news also makes the Luzon Management Committee very excited.

At the Dutch Merchant House in Manila, Worm was sitting in his office when suddenly a Dutchman hurriedly pushed the door open and walked in. Then he said excitedly: "Sir, the company's ship is here." ”

Worm's eyes lit up, and he quickly got up and went to a room with the Dutchman. Several Dutchmen saw Ulm. They all stood up and saluted him.

"Sir, I'm Kuhn from the Amsterdam headquarters, and I'm bringing a handwritten letter from Mr. Fell, the company's senior businessman." With that, he took out a letter and handed it to Ulm.

Worm took the letter from Kuhn's hand and motioned for them to sit down. He walked to the side and opened the letter, and looked at it carefully for a while, with an excited look on his face. He took the letter in his bosom. Then he smiled at Kuhn and said, "You just got off the boat, have a good rest, I will have someone take you to Manila for two days, I hope you have a good time here." ”

He left the house and whispered to the Dutchman beside him, "Go and gather everyone for a meeting." ”

At noon, a sailboat from the Dutch Trade Centre sailed out of the port of Manila.

The next night, the Luzon Island Management Committee of Manila's Maritime City, Xiao Hanguang, Liang Yujie and others were in a meeting with all the standing committee members and members of the Management Committee. Manila is about to usher in the peak business season, and in recent years, there have been more and more businessmen from various countries and Daming, so before the arrival of businessmen every year, the Manila city government has entered the state in advance to prepare for all aspects of work.

Especially this year, maritime merchants from various countries have obviously come earlier and more, which makes them full of confidence in Manila's economic work this year. At the meeting, Liang Yujie, deputy director of the management committee in charge of the economy, made arrangements for this year's economic work and put forward some ideas, which are being discussed by members of the standing committee and members of the management committee.

When everyone was discussing enthusiastically, Han Ping, director of the office of the management committee, walked in and said to Xiao Hanguang in a deep voice: "Director, there has been a rebellion of indigenous people in the mining area of Infanta on the eastern coast of Luzon, and nearly 10,000 natives have occupied the mining area. A battalion of the Foreign Legion and a platoon of the Overseas Brigade stationed there were trapped at the base. ”

The members and members of the Standing Committee who attended the meeting all turned gloomy after listening to Han Ping's words. There have been several similar riots in Luzon in recent years, but they were quickly quelled. There has never been a case where the mining area has been occupied.

Xiao Hanguang turned his head and said to Ye Changsheng, the commander of the Luzon garrison area, with a calm face: "Old Ye, you go and deal with it, you must rescue our soldiers, and you must not be soft on the natives who participated in the riot." ”

Ye Changsheng nodded and said, "I have been to that mining area, and the base defense there is very perfect, and the natives can't attack it." Don't worry, I'll deal with it myself and try to solve the problem tomorrow morning. ”

With that, he stood up, put on his military cap, and turned to leave the conference room. (To be continued......)
