The old things I repaired have become fine

Chapter 205 The missing people have been found! Bring them out! (The Strong Sea Monster will be rewarded with a -yuan bonus)
Shen Le cheered up.

crisis!

The crisis is coming!

According to the plot, this kind of time is usually when the boy shines.

This compass is really stuck. The previous parts were all fast-forwarded, but at this part, it starts playing at normal speed!
Brother Long fell into the sea and died during a typhoon, which was a huge blow to the pirate group that relied on the prestige of the leader and the force of force to survive.

Next, whether we can maintain stability will largely depend on how much role Tianbaozi can play!
The pirates were still in shock after being caught in the typhoon. Some of their ships sank, some were damaged, and some were killed or injured.

Brother Long had no son, only a nephew who was sixteen years old, lacked prestige, and had never even led a ship alone;

The leaders under him were not strong enough to convince the others. Sister Long was prestigious, but she was a woman.
And such a thing is obviously impossible to hide——

"Sister Long, the Yellow Flag Army's Dong Hai Bo is here! The Green Flag Army's Old Toad is here too. The Green Flag Army's flag is a battle flag!"

A young pirate tumbled and crawled into the Juyi Hall. In the hall, which was half-draped with white cloth and had not yet been completely transformed into a mourning hall, everyone had a serious expression:
If you raise the battle flag, you have to fight. If you come here at this time with the battle flag, you have to fight, or just annex the Red Flag Army!

"I'll go meet them!" Tianbaozi immediately stood up. The pirates started a slight commotion, and some people whispered, "They're not going to surrender, are they?" But Long Sao's eyes lit up:
"Then I'll leave it to you." The young woman, who was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old and dressed in mourning clothes, nodded gently and looked directly at the grown-up boy:

"I trust you. You can transfer any member of the gang at will, no matter who they are - Tianbaozi, do your best, the lives of the gang are in your hands!"

The young man looked eager, bowed, and turned to leave. Mrs. Long stared at his back for a moment, and ordered to continue setting up the mourning hall, treating the injured, and providing relief to the families of the deceased.

After returning from a great defeat, there were many complicated matters to deal with, but when she took charge, she managed them all in perfect order and everyone respected her.

However, despite her busy schedule, Mrs. Long couldn't help but look outward from time to time:
Being respected by one's own people is nothing. In the pirate world, force is everything...

She waited patiently, however, until the Yellow Flag Army's ship docked at the pier and the Yellow Flag Army's East Sea Earl entered the hall, burned incense, and finished the worship, there was still no movement outside.

Dong Haibo coughed and said solemnly:
"Sister Long, we came here today to pay respect to Brother Long and to ask about the future of the Red Flag Army. From now on, who will be the head of the Red Flag Army?"

Sister Long was dressed in mourning. She returned the greetings at the family seat and slowly stood up. Despite such a heavy blow, she still stood straight and looked at her subordinates around her:
From Brother Long's nephew to several leaders, everyone lowered their heads and avoided her gaze. Sister Long sighed in her heart and greeted the leader of the Yellow Flag Army:

"Don't worry, the Red Flag Army will always have someone in charge. They all listen to me!!!"

"you?"

Dong Haibo's face changed. Before he could speak, several of his subordinates started to make noises:
"Sister Long, are you kidding me?"

"You are a woman!"

"How can a woman be a leader——"

"How about this, Sister Long, you marry our Lord Donghai, and the Red Flag Army will be given to us as well as the Yellow Flag Army. Don't worry, Lord Donghai is fair and righteous, and he will not treat any of the brothers here unfairly!"

The pirates of the Red Flag Army started a commotion. Long Ge's nephew wanted to stand out, but he retreated awkwardly at the sound of swords being drawn.
Several small leaders were furious and noisy, surrounding Long Sao, but were pushed away by the subordinates around Dong Haibo;

Only Sister Long stood there proudly, her hand on the hilt of the knife, motionless:
"Why can't I be the leader? On the sea, whether you can be a leader depends only on whether you can fight and command the people. It never matters whether you are a man or a woman!"

"well said!!!"

A loud shout suddenly rang out from outside the Juyi Hall. The young man, holding a bloody steel knife in his left hand and holding a human head upside down in his right hand, strode inside.

He threw the head to the center of the hall, faced Long Sao, and knelt on one knee:
"Sister Long, Tianbaozi has fulfilled his mission!!!"

There was an uproar in the Juyi Hall. The eyes of the Red Flag Gang, the Yellow Flag Gang, and all the pirates were fixed on the head. Shocked voices in the Juyi Hall gradually grew louder and louder, finally gathering into thunder:

"Old Toad!"

"Old Toad!"

"This is the old toad from the Qingqi Army!"

"Why was he chopped?!"

A trace of shock flashed across Long Sao's eyes, but she still stood firmly, nodding and smiling at the young man. Hearing her praise, Tian Baozi stood up and saluted, quickly walking behind her:
"When Brother Long was here, Sister Long was able to make half of the decisions for the Red Flag Gang. Now that Brother Long is gone, it is natural that Sister Long will make the decisions on the gang's affairs - who would object?!"

There was a hurried pace. The young men who had gone out to sea with him and returned victoriously, covered in blood, stood beside him with knives in hand and stood at every key position in the hall.

Even Long Ge's nephew, the sixteen-year-old boy, seemed to have found a backbone and eagerly leaned towards him. That was how it was settled. Shen Le watched as Long Sao became the leader of the Red Flag Gang, and Tian Baozi became her most capable subordinate;
Watching Tianbaozi charging into battle for her and being invincible;

Watching Tian Baozi assist her in re-establishing the gang rules, with three rules: no escaping to shore, no hiding of seized goods, no insulting women;
When trading with villagers and purchasing food, fodder, wine and food, you must pay double the price and are not allowed to rob the villagers of a single cent!
More importantly, Tianbaozi also presided over the strategic shift of the entire Red Flag Gang, and even the entire pirate gang:

"What's the point of robbing our own merchant ships? If you want to rob, rob the foreigners' ships!!!"

During that period, Zhang Baozai and his Red Flag Gang were powerful on the sea, driving the robbed foreign warships and winning battle after battle.

Domestic sea merchants, as long as they paid money to buy a flag, could get the protection of the Red Flag Gang, or even the entire Pirate Alliance;
As for the foreigners' ships, they would try their best to take a bite whenever they could. Even the navy that was besieged by the Qing Dynasty was defeated by them several times, and the general of the Qing Dynasty was captured...

Finally, the Qing government was forced to send a special governor. Internally, the coastline was blocked, the fortifications were cleared, militias were set up, and trade with pirates was strictly prohibited;
Externally, they cooperated with the Portuguese, allocated 80,000 taels of silver to hire Portuguese ships, and even allowed Portugal to restore all its privileges in Macau after the success!
"Traitor! Shameless!!!"

Shen Le looked at the Portuguese captain who was laughing wildly and pounded the table angrily. He couldn't handle the pirates in his own country, so it was his own business to decide what policies to adopt.

In order to suppress pirates, Macau was sold!
SOLD!!!
The Qing court is a bunch of bastards!
Forget it, I already knew they were bastards. Shen Le silently watched Tian Baozi and Long Sao being attacked from both inside and outside, exhausted and exhausted, and finally accepted the amnesty;
Seeing him marrying Long Sao, he was promoted from a fifth-rank military officer to a second-rank officer, but was transferred from Guangdong Province to Penghu, and his core power was almost completely dismantled;

Watching him having to go out to sea again and again, using the methods of eliminating pirates and his former comrades to prove his loyalty, he was still guarded against, excluded, and suppressed...

Finally, the butcher knife came down. They ended a difficult battle and returned to the ship for repairs, but they encountered shells thrown at friendly forces.

In desperation, he could only flee, looking for a way to survive in the storm, but he eventually sank in the sea he was familiar with...

"Ugh……"

Shen Le opened his eyes from meditation and let out a long sigh.

The compass contains the memories of this great pirate's life, his struggles, pride, sorrow and resentment;

In the end, the thoughts of the couple, the entire ship's crew, and all the pirates who died on the sea were directed to one place:
The court is shameless!
Collude with the foreigners, beat us and want our lives!
If the imperial court had not colluded with the foreigners, we could have been recruited and become the navy, and we could have driven the foreigners out of this sea area!!!

"I think I know how to comfort them..."

Shen Le meditated hard, and after replenishing his energy, he contacted the Special Affairs Bureau again.

Poor Special Affairs Bureau ship, after searching the sea for so many days, still failed to find anything, not even the edge of the vortex of Yin Qi;
I wanted to clear it violently, and drop bombs directly, but I was afraid that it would affect the exploration ship and the missing persons of the Special Affairs Bureau...

After receiving the news from Shen Le, although they didn't quite believe it, they had no choice but to give it a try.

The boat went out to the sea and was sent to the accident area. Shen Le didn't even wear a diving suit when he went into the sea, but the compass vibrated violently and the magnetic needle spun around.

Shen Le walked down the side of the boat and put it into the sea. The compass needle suddenly stopped, and a black light shot out from the tip of the needle, pointing straight ahead.

"I saw it! I saw it!"

There was a great uproar on the ship. Wherever the black light passed, it tore a dark curtain between the sea and the sky, fluttering and seeming to appear and disappear.

On the other side of the curtain, it seemed as if there were howling wind and rain, thousands of sails competing to cross the river, and sailors shouting, scolding, and roaring, waving swords, and loading cannonballs...

More importantly, there was a ship they were all familiar with, a modern new ship. They honked their horns, turned on their headlights, and dodged hard inside it, trying to find a way again and again!

"The missing person has been found!"

"Find a way to get them out!"

The director of the Special Affairs Bureau gave a loud order. The ship immediately became busy, and the searchlights were turned on, shining at full power towards the dark curtain;

The loudspeakers were turned on, and the two Buddhist and Taoist brothers, each holding a loudspeaker, began to chant scriptures;
The temple keepers who came to support from the Mazu Temple lit incense and candles and offered the holy image. The smoke from the incense gathered into a golden cloud and rushed towards the curtain.

Some people were quick to load their ammunition and pointed at the curtain:
"Prepare—release!"

Da da da da da…

Flares, tracers, and all sorts of forces tore a gap in the curtain.

The sky was bright with light, and the sunken ships disappeared in smoke, while the missing exploration ship suddenly turned its bow and rushed out of the curtain!
