The ninth son of the emperor was demoted at the beginning. I have a famous Chinese general.

Chapter 217 Captured Pirate Ship

Dai's face turned green at this moment. He wanted to slap himself twice. If he had known that he would encounter this situation, he would never have dared to come to rob.

"Boss, the other party asked us to surrender!"

One of the men said panickedly, pointing at the patrol boat.

Dai looked back and saw that someone on the patrol boat was sending flag signals, indicating that they should surrender.

"No, I will never surrender, or I will die!"

Dai refused decisively.

They are pirates who have killed countless people, and being caught means they will be dead.

"But the enemy's firepower is too strong and their speed is too fast. We can't escape at all!"

The subordinate said.

"Even if you can't run away, you have to run, unless you want to be hanged."

"Quick, speed up."

Dai gritted his teeth and shouted.

"Yes!"

......

"Haha, you're quite stubborn. You refuse to surrender?"

On the deck, Ning Quan sneered when he saw this scene.

Ning Quan has no mercy on pirates, but he wants the pirate ship.

Those are all warships and will be very useful in the future.

But the other party refused to surrender, which made him very unhappy.

"Order the main guns to fire and destroy the pirate flagship. Let them know how powerful we are."

Ning Quan gave the order.

"clear!"

Wu Yong agreed and ordered the main gun to fire.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, three shells whizzed out.

"Boom!"

After a loud bang, Day's pirate ship was instantly blown to pieces.

For a moment, the waves were surging and blood was splattered.

Dai was also blown to pieces, leaving no trace.

The other pirate ships were terrified when they saw this.

The power of this artillery is absolutely unstoppable by ordinary people and is simply beyond their ability to withstand.

"surrender!"

“We surrender!”

“We surrender!”

......

In an instant, all the pirates raised their hands in surrender.

"Humph, you won't cry until you see the coffin."

"Come here, bring people aboard."

Ning Quan ordered.

"Yes!"

Xiang Yu and others behind him immediately took orders and led the soldiers on a transport boat to approach the pirate ship.

At this time, all the sailors on the pirate ship were terrified, and they only came to their senses until Xiang Yu brought his men on board.

"Tie them all up."

Xiang Yu said coldly.

"Yes!"

The soldiers immediately took action and tied up all the pirates.

"General, spare your life."

“We are willing to surrender.”

“Please forgive us.”

"Have mercy."

The pirates knelt on the ground and kowtowed for mercy.

"Kill them all, leaving no one behind."

But how could Xiang Yu let them go? He immediately ordered

These pirates are extremely vicious and have killed people without mercy. They must not be allowed to stay.

They were tied up just now to prevent them from escaping and resisting.

"Crash!"

The soldiers moved quickly, killing all the pirates in almost the blink of an eye.

"Throw them all into the sea!"

After finishing it, Xiang Yu waved his hand.

Upon hearing this, the soldiers immediately lifted the pirate's body and threw it into the sea.

"General, what about the pirate ship?"

A soldier asked.

"Wait a moment, General Zhou will bring people to receive it."

"Yes!"

The soldier agreed.

Soon, Zhou Yu boarded the pirate ship with hundreds of crew members.

"General Zhou, these ships are now in your hands."

Xiang Yu said with a smile.

"Don't worry, General Xiang. Leave it to me."

"Also, His Highness has ordered that all soldiers be retained as sailors."

Zhou Yu bowed slightly.

"Okay, I'll follow General Zhou's instructions."

Xiang Yu nodded.

A pirate ship is a warship, and it cannot just have crew members, it also needs sailors who are responsible for firing cannons and fighting.

This task can only be completed by soldiers.

Therefore, Zhou Yu asked Ning Quan to keep the soldiers.

Ning Quan naturally had no objection and agreed immediately.

After Xiang Yu left by boat, Zhou Yu immediately assigned personnel to each ship and cleaned the decks.

An hour later, the six pirate ships were cleaned and the personnel were in place.

Then Zhou Yu sent a signal to the big ship.

Seeing this, Ning Quan immediately ordered the fleet to continue sailing.

.......

The rest of the journey went smoothly and the fleet sailed along the coastline.

Ten days later, we arrived off the coast of Chittagong.

Ning Quan ordered the fleet to drop anchor and rest, while he landed in Chittagong accompanied by Xiang Yu and others.

Chittagong, located in the South Asian subcontinent, was one of the largest ports in the Mughal Empire.

There are a large number of merchant ships and cargo ships gathered in the harbor.

The dock is bustling with cargo yards, cars and horses.

Behind the pier is the city of Jida, which has strong defenses with artillery batteries and watchtowers on its high city walls.

After Ning Quan and others got off the boat, they went straight to the central square of the dock to apply for supplies from the dock's shipping department.

It is not easy for a fleet to replenish supplies during the journey. It needs to report to the ship management at the terminal in advance. This is a universal rule of navigation in the world.

Only with the consent of the Shipping Division can you purchase supplies at the port, and the Shipping Division must arrange for the ship to transport them.

The Shipping Department is located in the center of the square, a very eye-catching three-story building.

"Welcome to Chittagong. What can I do for you?"

A guard stepped forward and asked.

"Hello, I'm from the Japanese fleet, and I'd like to request supplies."

Ning Quan said with a smile.

"Okay, please come with me."

Upon hearing this, the guard immediately led Ning Quan and others into the Shipping Department.

The first floor is a hall that is crowded and bustling with people coming to handle various businesses.

At the innermost part were a dozen or so staff members, busy at work.

“Welcome to Chittagong. My name is Moody.”

Seeing Ning Quan and others coming, a clerk hurried forward to greet them enthusiastically.

"Hello, Mr. Moody. We are here to pick up supplies."

Ning Quan said with a smile.

"Of course, no problem. May I ask how many ships you have and what their sizes are?"

"Also, are you anchored in the open sea or in the harbor?"

“We are parked in the open sea.”

"We have more than eighty ships in total, all of which are large ships with a capacity of tens of thousands of dan, and a crew of about six thousand."

"Such a large fleet?"

"Where are you going?"

Moody's face changed when he heard Ning Quan's words.

There are many fleets traveling to and from Chittagong, but Moody rarely sees a fleet as large as this one.

“We are going to Japan.”

Ning Quan explained.

"Oh, you're going to Japan."

"That place is not close."

"Based on the scale you mentioned, replenishing a month's supply will take about two days, and the cost will be 13,000 gold coins."

Moody did the math and gave the number directly.

"We don't have gold coins. Can we use silver?"

Ning Quan asked with a smile.

"Of course, if converted into silver, that would be twenty thousand taels."

Moody said with a smile.

"Yes, sure."

"Thank you very much."

Ning Quan nodded and took out several silver bills from his arms, including those from Daqian and Persia.

In this world, silver notes from all countries are universal, especially those from powerful countries like Daqian, Persia, and Dashi, which are valid everywhere.

In addition to the silver notes, Ning Quan also gave you a small bag of gold coins.

These gold coins were all seized from pirate ships.
