At this time, the gunners returned to their positions and aimed at the large ship hundreds of steps away. Their sails also rose, trying their best to drive as fast as possible.

Zhao Meng was very depressed after several shots, not only did he not hit the target, but also why pirates appear near the sea, and these pirates are too rampant.

There are three ships, if they are close, they must not be beaten, because there are more than 300 innocent passengers on it. If they are captured by the old octopus, then Song Jingzhi will be doomed. Thinking of Song Chen's kindness of knowing, he will fight them away even if he fights his life.

Zhao Meng made a great determination to fight until the last moment to repay this kind of kindness of knowing the favor.

At this moment, he heard a loud noise, a harsh sound, but for the Marines on the ship, it was the most beautiful sound, because they knew it was the sound of the enemy ship being hit.

He took out his monocular lens and saw that the ship had caught fire, and the people on the ship were in a mess.

Zhao Meng felt that he should add some materials at this time and aimed at another ship to hit him. The one was also hit. He was so lucky that he shot two consecutive shots.

At this moment, the two ships slowed down and stopped chasing each other. Zhao Meng did not want to rush over to expand the results of the battle, but chose to continue driving towards Lin'an.

He was right to do this, because there were still three hundred people on this ship.

After repelling the pirates, the people and soldiers on the ship made a shocking cheer together.

How rare is this? They also captured six people. Zhao Mengming's subordinates were given strict supervision and could not make any mistakes.

……………………

In the court, the ministers were all talking about it. It was embarrassing that there were pirates coming to rob the Dashen Navy near the sea.

Song Chen has become a figure at the forefront again. The newly established deputy director of the coastal system is doing something, but he is so weak.

Even in the weak Song Dynasty, the bandit army dared to attack the official army, so it was only because you, Song Chen, was incompetent in governing the army.

By the way, what's interesting is that when they heard the news of the attack of the pirates, they realized that there was such a navy in the Song Dynasty, which did not affect their criticism.

You are a navy master, and you can just not be able to kill pirates. There are also pirates who dare to attack on their own initiative. This can only prove that you are in vain. This is the logic of the scholars and officials of the Song Dynasty.

Emperor Zhao Xu was a little annoyed. He found that since Song Chen appeared, this person has often become a topic of discussion in the court, and most of them appear in a bad image.

"Have those pirates tried, have you obtained any useful information?" Jia Sidao was at its peak recently, and even the ministers who had liked to criticize him before were quiet. Because the Song Dynasty won a great victory, Lao Jia made a new contribution. Now Lao Jia has become special, and it is half a month, and his reputation is at its peak.

"Those people are so nervous!" Zhao Shunsun, the Minister of Justice, said helplessly.

"Song Chen should be investigated for his dereliction of duty now. The court has plundered so much money and raised a group of useless military men. When encountering pirates, he can only run away!" Chen Yizhong said sarcastically.

"Yizhong's words are too much," Jiang Wanli, who was very prestigious in the court, stood up again to speak for Song Chen. "We should consider the situation at that time. There were three hundred innocent people on the ship at that time, and the other party had three large ships and three small boats. Under such circumstances, all the soldiers and people could still return to Lin'an safely, which was already very good."

"Old Jiang, this is a bad statement. I think Song Chen's military is relaxed, which makes the siege feel that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it. This son's crime of dereliction of duty cannot be escaped!" Liu Mengyan would definitely stand up and study Song Chen's book. No one was surprised at this.

"By the way, when did Song Chen have a navy?" Emperor Zhao Xu looked confused. "I remember that he had come to me to complain, saying that the court had plundered him a thousand stagnant of start-up funds, and there was no copper behind him. The place where he works now is in a monk temple!"

As soon as the emperor said this, the ministers were even more intensely. Many ministers immediately pretended to be surprised and said that this was really sensational and unconventional. In fact, they had known about this matter for a long time and deliberately kept it from it. They were afraid that the court would give Song Chen the money because of this.

"Your Majesty, this matter has been discussed in the court!" The Censor Zhang Jian was finally able to say something. His actions did not conflict with his responsibilities.

This immediately aroused some ministers' approval, and most of them were neutral. Sometimes they would stand opposite Song Chen, and sometimes they would still say good things for Song Chen. Of course, this was obviously a fact.

"It seems that this is the case. I don't have a good memory," Emperor Zhao Xu touched the back of his head. "Ah, his army has just been established, so it's good to be able to defeat the enemy!"

Yes, yes, some people still said justice through the emperor's gaze. The Song Dynasty was not rotten until the roots. Not everyone, ministers would rely on Jia Sidao and stay in Mengyan.

"Your Majesty, let's not talk about his combat effectiveness," Liu Mengyan paused here. The word "Marines" quickly attracted everyone's attention. "I have conclusive evidence. He has reorganized the army privately. I won't talk about the military name. He also changed the military system and set it to one battalion, one battalion, three companies, one battalion, three platoons, and three squads in one row, and three squads in one row, and appointed battalion commander, company commander, platoon leader, and squad leader. This is really Sima Zhao's heart, and it is obvious!"

As soon as these words were said, the ministers below kept silent. It was very quiet now, and Song Chen did a little too much.

"Your Majesty, if this is true, considering that Song Chen is young and frivolous, he must be punished!"

"Yes, he must know what can be done and what can't be done."

"You can't let Song Chen do whatever he wants!"

These people are relatively neutral. Although they are a bit frank, Liu Mengyan's side, they will most likely support Liu Mengyan when things are ambiguous. Not to mention Song Chen's "injury" now.

"What the court promised before is to give him free space and let him do it. There are only 500 people anyway, so what's the problem!" Jiang Wanli said. He really hoped that Song Chen could achieve something.

"When special, you should use special methods!" Jia Sidao was in a good mood and spoke for Song Chen.

"The focus now is to find out where the pirates came from and get some useful information. This is the main thing!" Ye Mengding, the Ministry of Rites, also stood up and said.
