I want to ruin the country

Prince Gong said,

"Thanks to your Eagle Claw skill, otherwise I would be dead. You saved my life, and I will reward you with 10,000 taels of silver!"

Yi Gaige hurriedly said,

"Your Highness, don't worry about it. This is what servants should do!

The Emperor said, "The lives of our servants belong to you, Your Highness. If you lose even a hair, you will skin us alive!"

After hearing this, Prince Gong finally believed that the emperor's fourth brother really cared about him and said,

"Take the money. Report it to His Majesty when you return to the capital. He will surely reward you handsomely!"

Yi Gaige laughed and said,

"Your Majesty, it's just a small matter, don't take it to heart!"

Prince Gong said with a gloomy face,

"Is my life a trivial matter?"

Yi Gaige had no choice but to take over the banknotes.

"Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty!"

Yi Fengshou and the other three were very puzzled. What was going on? When did the eldest brother save the prince's life?

Prince Gong saw their expressions and was sure that Yi Gaige had not told them. He nodded in his heart, thinking that Yi Gaige was a good person without being proud of his achievements.

"Eunuch Yi, you didn't tell them?"

Iran reformed the way,

"In reply to the prince, there is nothing to say!"

Prince Gong said,

"The storm was so severe the day before yesterday that I would have perished at sea if Eunuch Yi had not saved me!"

He explained the whole thing in detail, and Yi Fengshou and the others finally understood what was going on.

They knelt together and said,

"The Emperor sent us servants to protect the prince. If the prince gets into trouble, we are the ones who deserve to die.

As long as the prince is safe, it doesn't matter even if the four of us sacrifice our lives!"

To be honest, Prince Gong always believed that the four eunuchs were sent to him by his brother the Emperor to monitor him, and he felt from the bottom of his heart that they had no real abilities.

However, the performance of Iran's reforms this time made him take notice.

No reward is too great for saving my life!

"This afternoon, I will give you a delicious meal. Please enjoy yourselves!"

"Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty!"

After waiting for two days, two more ships returned to the fleet, but one ship was still missing.

The ship was carrying some ordinary goods, which were worth some money. However, Prince Gong decided not to wait any longer and set sail the next morning!

Dou Zhenbiao also agreed. This was a decision he had no other choice but to make. Now there were no telephones, telegraphs, or drones, so where could he find one?

The next morning, soldiers knocked on Dou Zhenbiao's cabin door in a hurry.

"General, General, we are surrounded!"

Dou Zhenbiao got up with a grunt.

"what happened?"

"We are surrounded by a fleet!"

Dou Zhenbiao quickly came to the deck and took a look through the telescope. He was shocked to see that there were at least thirty or forty ironclad ships surrounding their fleet on the shore.

Strangely, this fleet didn't even have a flag on board.

That's impossible. A flag represents a country. An ironclad ship shouldn't be a pirate, so how could it not have a flag?

Even pirate ships have flags. Don’t they paint monsters or skulls on the flags to scare others?

There is no flag, which means he is trying to hide his identity. Why would he hide his identity for such a good reason?

Suddenly, Dou Zhenbiao was startled. Oh no, are the government troops going to pretend to be pirates?

Are they targeting our goods?

Dou Zhenbiao thought for a moment and quickly ordered,

"Order all warships to move, prepare for battle, and point all weapons at enemy ships. No fire is allowed without orders."

The fleet's cargo ships are all inside, and the outer circle is full of warships. Now those dozens of ironclad ships have approached within 500 meters.

If they were not in a safe harbor, the soldiers would not allow other warships to approach to this distance before reporting.

The book implies that this fleet is the British Royal Fleet stationed in India, and their fleet commander is General James.

This guy intercepted a cargo ship that day. Upon inquiry, he found out that it was a Chinese cargo ship that had lost its way due to a storm.

James was delighted when he heard this. Isn't this exactly the fleet he was looking for? He got it without any effort!

A few days ago, he heard that a fleet was coming from the East, carrying huge wealth. He made up his mind to find a way to rob this fleet.

He also carefully inquired about the escort ships and weapons.

There were only civilians driving the ship on this cargo ship, not a single soldier. How would he know what weapons were there?

James asked for a long time but could not get any information. He only knew that this fleet had no steamships but sailboats.

He felt relieved. With Daqing's technology, there were no terrible weapons on the ship. If they encountered the British Navy, they could only surrender obediently.

After two days of searching, the fleet was found in a sheltered bay.

At midnight, he ordered the fleet to surround them quietly.

By the time the soldiers found them on the mast's bucket, they were already within a thousand meters.

By the time Dou Zhenbiao reached the deck, they had already advanced 500 meters.

Dou Zhenbiao also figured it out. The firepower on his fleet was enough to deal with the pirates without any problem, as the pirates had no cannons.

They were no match for the British navy, as some of these ships had over a hundred guns, while others had forty or fifty.

Half of their wooden boats would be disintegrated by one salvo of fire, and they would not be able to withstand it at all.

But who would have thought that the mighty navy would become pirates!

Even if you can't win, you can't surrender. The close combat firepower on your ship is not weak, but it can't be used at a distance!

The most powerful cannon is the conscienceless cannon, which is much more powerful than the cannons on British ships after exploding.

There are forty or fifty unscrupulous cannons on each of their ships. If they fire at the same time, dozens of explosive packs will fly over, and even their ironclad ships will not be able to withstand it.

If the conscience cannon can't work, it's still unclear who will win.

The maximum range of the conscienceless cannon is 400 meters. It is useless if it is farther away. But we can't let the British army get close to us and shoot us, right?

Dou Zhenbiao's mind raced, and finally, he made up his mind to let them in and attack, rendering their cannons ineffective.

We have enough grenades, rockets and unscrupulous cannons. As long as they can't run away, it's not impossible to wipe them out.

Dou Zhenbiao ordered,

"Sign signal soldiers, what are they doing?"

The flag signalman on the opposite fleet reported Dou Zhenbiao's question to James

James was secretly happy in his heart. These Chinese people are so stupid that they still ask us what we do.

"Just tell them we're a Portuguese warship and we want to board and inspect their cargo!"

When Dou Zhenbiao heard this, he said, "What do you mean by 'love teeth?' You are up to something bad, so grandpa will pretend not to know too."

"Ask them why they are inspecting our ship!"

During this question and answer process, the distance between the fleets was only about 300 meters.

James was even happier, huh, when we get help, you Chinese will have no choice but to surrender.
