The violent storm was mixed with rain and fell on the rough sea. Four worn wooden sailing boats fleeed like scared flies.

"Kacha", the pirate ship that was moving fast made a sharp collision sound, and immediately followed by a violent shaking on the ship. Before the seven or eight pirates could react, they were thrown into the sea by the huge inertia brought by the hull of the ship. .

The reefs in the South China Sea are densely covered and the climate is changeable. When encountering severe weather such as storms, once they fall into the sea, there is almost no chance of survival.

A wooden pirate ship hit the reef and was damaged. Nearly a third of the pirates on the ship were thrown into the sea by the storm and the shaking of the hull. More than ten pirates carefully stayed on the severely damaged ship and did not dare to risk their lives. Danger continued to escape.

The severe stormy weather prevented the pirates from escaping, and at the same time brought a lot of trouble to the chasing Chinese fleet.

There are a total of seven vessels responsible for pursuing pirates. Of these, three wooden steam ships were temporarily removed from the combat area because of weak hull protection and were not suitable for combat in stormy weather. The remaining four gunboats with a displacement of 760 tons were scattered. In both east and west directions, they continued to attack the pirate ship with the momentum of pinching encirclement.

"Boom", two shells fired from the swaying gunboat, but because of the poor stability of the gunboat, it lost sight of the target, landed on a water reef, and stirred up a burst of water and gravel.

"Captain, the sea is too stormy, brothers are not good at aiming and shooting!"

A gunner shouted loudly to the captain of the gunboat in charge of the operation.

"The pirate ship is less than fifty meters away from us, and two rounds of volleys will be fired. We must send them all to the sea today!"

The black and white military uniform was completely saturated with rain, and a young captain ignored his own situation, stared at the distance intently, and commanded loudly.

"Yes!"

The gunner replied, grabbed the hat on his head, and quickly returned to the gun position to load the shell.

The tense but not fierce sea chase battle lasted for more than ten minutes. As the last wooden pirate ship was sunk by a patrol ship sent by Zhong Shao, there was only one stranded pirate ship on the sea.

Xun sent a gunboat to capture the stranded pirate ship, the other three gunboats slowly withdrew from the sea of ​​engagement, and then joined the **** fleet commanded by Zhong Shao.

"Brother Cao, where did these pirates come from?"

In the command room of the steam gunboat, Zhong Shao asked a dark-skinned officer.

"A group of pirates under Wang Luoba."

The young officer said, "Nanyang Mining Company has a phosphate mining site on Taiping Island. The pirates did not know where to borrow the courage, and after gathering two or three hundred people, they wanted to occupy Taiping Island. As a result, they attacked Taiping Island. At the time, more than two-thirds of the manpower was lost, and the remaining pirates carried a few boats to flee south, and then fled to the golden shoal, just to meet you. "

"How is the phosphate mining site above Taiping Island, has it been damaged by pirates?"

Taiping Island is only 1289 meters in length from east to west, but 366 meters wide from north to south, with a total area of ​​0.43 square kilometers. When fighting at sea, the small area of ​​Taiping Island is vulnerable to the threat and destruction of pirate fire.

"The phosphate mining site suffered a certain loss. The technical workers of the mining company are repairing the damaged area of ​​the mine. It is expected that it will take two weeks to adjust to restore normal mining capacity."

Pirates attacked the Taipingdao phosphate mining site, and the young officer could not bear the unfavorable responsibility for defense. Therefore, he was not in a good mood. He was furious and said, "The National Defense Forces and Nanyang Pirates have always been wells and rivers. When they rob foreign merchants, Lao Tzu opens his eyes closed. Put one eye over them.

But for almost a month, these bitter and hahaha have no idea what foreign wealth was made. One by one, the guns were replaced by guns. The tattered sailboats were equipped with artillery, and their courage became more and more daring, even the National Defense Forces. They really have enough chic days, come to the door and die! "

The young officer's heart was surging, especially since he said, "Master Zhong, you are familiar with Master Mei and King Wang. Can you report to the two adults, concentrate on the naval forces of the Nanyang National Defense Force, and wipe out Wang Luo's gang of pirates. "

"I will report the situation of Nanyang Pirates to the two adults, but Brother Cao should not report too much hope.

There are tens of thousands of islands in the Nanyang region. The British and the Dutch have only occupied some important islands and regions. Many islands are still under the jurisdiction of local indigenous and pirates. If you want to uproot the Wang Luoba pirate force that attacked Taiping Island, it will not be short-term. may. "

The Nanyang region has a hot climate and a complicated geographical environment. The British have limited the control of the colonies by appointing the indigenous chief of the Malay Peninsula as the chief executive. The Dutch and the British signed an agreement in 1871 to re-divide the two parties. In the forces of the Nanyang region, Britain gained colonial rights in North Borneo and control of the Straits of Malacca, while the Netherlands gained recognition in Britain and the right to move freely on Sumatra.

There are many indigenous countries on Sumatra. Among them, the religious countries led by the Sultanate of Aceh have fertile land and a large number of nationals, which makes it difficult to solicit.

In order to prevent other countries from interfering in Sumatra, two years after signing a treaty with the British, in March 1873, they sent warships to invade Sumatra and occupied the Sultanates such as Palembang, Riau, Bengkulu at the end of the year.

At the beginning of the second year ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ The Dutch army occupied the capital of the Sultanate of Aceh and captured the Sultan of Aceh. Then the Netherlands announced that the entire island of Sumatra was included in the colonial rule, but the occupation of the capital of Aceh and the capture of the Aceh sultan were not It means the end of the war. On the second day when the Dutch entered Aceh's capital, Aceh soldiers and religious people who defeated other regions supported the surviving Aceh royal family to inherit the throne of the Sudan and continue to confront the Dutch.

Sumatra's resistance against the Dutch settlers continued until 1878 and there was no sign of ending,

During the Aceh war, the Dutch slowed down the pace of aggression against Lanfang, Machen, Bali and other areas because they feared that the islands of Java, Borneo, and Sulawesi cooperated with the Sumatran indigenous forces to react. Rights and military powers, and at the same time implement a policy of attracting pirate forces such as Chinese, Malays, Sulu, and Javans mixed in the Nanyang region, using pirate-owned weapons

The force blockade and containment of resistance forces scattered across the islands.

The National Defense Forces are located in northern Annan, Songkhla, and the Natuna Islands. They have insufficient strength.

The precious maritime forces must be responsible for the safety of the migrant fleet. They cannot gather pirates to contain them. In addition, there are so many pirates in Nanyang. If the piracy problem cannot be solved at one time, the escaped pirates are likely to launch attacks on the migrant fleet in various seas and **** them. The fleet was difficult to deal with.

Therefore, due to various factors, the IDF Nanyang Forces and the pirates often maintain a cooperative or non-hostile relationship and do not interfere with each other's activities.

The Han country was busy preparing for war, and the Nanyang forces did not want to cause trouble, but at this time, some forces were just targeting their challenges.
