Deng Zilong was on the chair, his body tilted slightly to the left, his left arm wrapped in the Song Dynasty-style leather-inlaid iron wrist guards supported on the handrail, and his fist slightly pressed against his chin.

His right arm was half stretched beside him, and his fingers gently lit the tea table, his eyes were not focused and he was thinking about something.

The hall was filled with newly made furniture that exuded a strong tung oil smell. There was no tea on the tea table, only a few official documents.

The official document on the previous page is densely written in three languages, and a three-inch square portrait is attached to it. The man with a European face in the painting is very young, with thick circles under his tired eyes, red spots on his face, and lips with short beards under his big nose have obvious ulcer characteristics.

‘William Parker, born in Plymouth, England, was born into a noble family. In order to imitate the sea thief Drake and robbed money to strengthen his popularity, in the fourth year of Wanli, he purchased four ships including the flagship Knight from a shipyard named Old Parker in Plymouth. He traveled to the lowland countries to attract idle people, bought British bird guns, Dutch ships and cannons, and led a fleet to the west to the West Indies in early spring this year.’

‘Its flagship Knight had 16 guns, eight Dutch iron cannons, and four ships had more than 300 sailors, and they could not stop the Western Maritime Merchants Bureau. They successively detained a Western Pearl Ship, a permanent silver coin ship, and destroyed three fishing boats.’

‘Then he attacked the Port of Veracruz in the Gulf of Mexico, and failed to siege for six days, and was driven away by the commander of the Second Army of New Spain. He went to the Qilin Bay in Panama and robbed a Portuguese slave ship again. He went ashore to rob the Qilin Guards again, so he besieged the Qilin Guards Army and captured him alive after several days of war.’

Under William Parker's information, there are also information about several pirate leaders. Most of these people are from England, and their purpose is almost the same. They follow Drake's example of robbing Spanish treasure ships to gain unparalleled reputation and unimaginable wealth.

The owner of these materials knelt neatly in front of Deng Zilong. Yishui's lower limbs were swollen and had red spots on his face. He had all suffered from navigation diseases, but they didn't get all of them at sea.

It has been half a month since the Qilin Guard caught these pirates. Deng Zilong gave an order, not to be trapped in the jail or sent to Panama City on the way, they were allowed to eat noodles, drink water, a little vegetables, a little fruit, and a drop of tea.

Deng Zilong seemed to have just come back to his senses. When he saw the miserable people in front of him, he sighed and asked quietly: "Are you fools? Are you fools?"

"If you want to rob the Spaniards, go and rob. My Ming Dynasty fishing boat on the sea will provoke you? You will sank it with your gunboat."

"Kill Havana, Veracruz is understandable. The Qilin Guard has been calling you again. The pirate corpses dried on the reef cannot be seen. Such a big Ming flag can always be seen! Hundreds of thieves will rob you when they get ashore."

The man who was air-dried on the reef came from similar to William Parker, named Andrew Barker and his accomplices, who were also from England, and was born in Bristol.

This man's fleet is powerful. He attacked Trujillo, Venezuela, twice two years ago. He was repelled for the first time and made a comeback for the second time to capture the town. He was driven away only after he plundered it. Shi Xiaolou, who was in full swing last year, built the first ship in the Qilin Guard and robbed him, which caused Li Dan and Chen Jiujing to encircle him, but he did not catch him.

Before establishing the company, Shi Xiaolou had already offered a reward of 1,000 Lu silk to the Spanish fleet on the West Indies under the jurisdiction of Peru and New Spain, demanding to capture the alive.

I didn't look for Deng Zilong because the Eastern Military Palace had no warships on the east coast.

In the end, Andrew Barker had only six scarred warships and one hundred and twenty pirates left. They were sent by Yang Ce of the Han Dynasty at the beginning of this year.

When General Yang, who had spent countless treasures in Changshengxiao, left, he bought a few cannons from the Dongyang Military Mansion. It happened that a batch of small-caliber cannons under Deng Zilong's command had been used for some time, so Chen Mu asked him to go directly to the Qilin Guard to take it.

Yang Ce, who had received the cannon, packed his fleet on the way back to the west coast of Africa and sent it to the Qilin Guard, but only received a reward of four hundred silks from Shi Xiaolou. Yang Ce meant that he had a little good silk for his subordinates to wear it. There was no need to give him the remaining six hundred silks, and he couldn't sell them even if he sold them. He asked the merchants to send the silk to the Dongyang Military Palace for storage, and he would use it when he came to play next year.

Later, these pirates were hung on the reefs near the Qilinwei and acted as performing art.

In this way, there were also English pirates coming to die one after another.

Deng Zilong was so worried that he had wrinkles.

“Ask them.”

Deng Zilong said to his translator, "What exactly attracts them to Panama? Pirates come endlessly. The Kirin Guard was attacked three times in this year, and the pirates appeared sixteen times. What about the market?"

And the people who came were all British, just as if they knew that Deng Zilong had no ship.

In fact, this is also the reason why Chen Mu laughed when he heard the news that pirates came to Panama... Deng Zilong was about to be tortured by the pirates. A group of clowns jumping, only a few dozen or so few were only a few hundred people. He rode a few small broken gunboats and looked at him as if nothing had happened at the sea.

But his fleet was still drifting in South Asia and did not bypass it, and had no sea defense at all. He could only wait for others to go ashore to grab it once. The new flag recruiting army of the Kirin Guard who had been training for half a year intercepted and arrested it once, and there was no other way.

You can't build all the beaches that can be landed on the long coastline into the cannon temple, right?

The assistant asked William Parker, and wanted to ask in English. After half of the questions, he couldn't make sense. He learned all the artworks on the reef when he was alive. His vocabulary was very low. He had to ask in Spanish when he was anxious. Fortunately, he was stumbling to make William understand.

What else can be done? After all, it is for money, Panama Isthmus, Drake's wealthy land.

This answer almost made Deng Zilong crazy: "Spanish people transport silver from this place, but the Ming Dynasty does not transport silver! Go away, get out, go to prison and stay in prison!"

"Write a letter, you can't continue to kill. Come and kill a group of pirates. No one there knows what's going on. It's too much to attract flies."

Deng Zilong raised his hand and asked the flag army to bring these pirates who were smelly and had navigation diseases back to prison like a flies, and said to the official Zuo: "Write a letter to Changsheng. I plan to let a few people go back to England to let them know that Panama belongs to the Ming Dynasty, and let Chen Shuai ask Elizabeth to pay compensation... Yes, say hello."

Speaking of this, Deng Zilong finally felt a little angry and said, "Ask Mr. Chen, the little governor of Havana, who sent someone to return the two ships for carrying pearls and silver, and ask what to do."
