Seeing that Zheng Jinxin was wrong, Ye Kai hurriedly said, "Boss, they want us to surrender! Order the flag to be lowered, otherwise they will fire."

Surrender? Zheng Jinxin was stunned and asked back: "Can you survive by surrender? Can the officers and soldiers believe the words?"

After hearing this, Ye Kai couldn't help but couldn't speak for a long time. For the officers and soldiers, their heads were credit. So many ships and people were sure to be a great contribution. Will these officers and soldiers recommend the credit for this?

"Surrender and not kill!"

A neat cry suddenly broke out from the warship that blocked its way forward, and then a shout of "Surrender and not kill!" came from all sides.

Zheng Jinxin and Ye Kai couldn't help but look at each other. The officers and soldiers were still shouting like this? Hearing that they would not be killed, the pirates lost their will to die, and they lost their fighting spirit. They slowly surrounded Zheng Jinxin.

Yinzhen kept watching with a telescope. Seeing this, he ordered in a deep voice: "Rise my king's big star."

As soon as the golden dragon croaker rose, it immediately attracted the attention of Zheng Jinxin and other pirates. Although he was not familiar with the court's ceremonial guards, the dragon croaker was not something that ordinary people dared to use. Zheng Jinxin didn't have to think about it at all, and he also knew that this was the 14th prince who created the Qing navy.

Ye Kai now seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and said excitedly: "It's the 14th prince, it must be the 14th prince. We really have hope of saving our lives now. Anyway, the 14th prince is not lacking in such a little credit, right?"

Zheng Jinxin pondered for a moment before instructing, "Ye Kai. You can take a small boat, take a white flag, and go to see the fourteenth prince, and find out the wind. If you fall in love with these three-masted sailboats, we are willing to hand over them. It is easy to say that I, Zheng Jinxin, have a head, just want to leave a way out for my brothers."

"Boss, what are you saying? Brothers, you must live together. You must die together." Although Ye Kai was afraid of death, he said passionately.

"You know, the officials of the court are not as good as soldiers, but only the chiefs are punished." Zheng Jinxin said and sighed softly, "Brothers and I have been with me for a while. It's worth it to leave a way out for my brothers. Go ahead and talk nonsense, you can't live."

Seeing a small boat holding a white flag and asking to get closer, Yinzhen was surprised. Surrender had to negotiate. These pirates were really confident. After pondering for a moment, he ordered: "Let them on the boat."

As soon as Ye Kai got on the boat, he was startled by the navy's majestic and stern military posture. Seeing a young man in his early twenties sitting in the middle was a handsome military uniform. He thought it would be the 14th prince. He hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Caughter Lu Ziming, please pay attention to the 14th prince."

Yinzhen glanced at him casually and said, "Who is you in charge?"

Ye Kai dared not tell the truth, so he hurriedly replied: "Go back to the prince, the name is Zhen Laoqi."

Yinzhen had no impression of the pirates at all. This question was both routine and temptation. When Ye Kai came, he admitted that he was a pirate, and he felt strange. In theory, he had to be cunning, so how could he think he was a pirate? Did they have fought with the navy before? He raised his chin slightly, and a personal guard understood and immediately left quickly. Then he asked, "Why don't you surrender?"

After answering a few words, Ye Kai had already calmed down and replied with his head down: "Brother, we are worried that we will still be killed after surrender."

Yinzhen glanced at him with a lot of fun before saying coldly: "Hmph, do you not trust me or are you guilty of being a serious person? Is it your own fault that you will die if you surrender?"

Ye Kai was frightened by this and kowtowed quickly, "Prince, there are too many examples of being killed after surrender. We are really worried. If the prince can let us go, we are willing to give us all the ships and food."

Hearing this, Yinzhen couldn't help but be speechless. The officers and soldiers' credit was so poor. After pondering for a while, he asked, "Is your ship loaded with food?"

"Yes, it's all rice." Ye Kai replied cautiously.

“Where did you buy it?”

“Bangbagong of Siam.”

Siam? Thailand? Yinzhen was stunned for a moment. How did he sell rice from Siam? The specialty of Siam is not rice. He is still very clear about this. The trade volume between Siam and the Qing Dynasty is quite large, and most of the trade items are ivory, rhinoceros horn, gold, jade, brocade, skin, and coins. How could these pirates transport rice?

After pondering for a moment, Yinzhen asked with interest: "Why are you selling rice?"

Ye Kai replied without any scruples about this issue: "Best, we don't have much capital, and the rice in Siam is cheap."

Cheap? Yinzhen nodded. Siam is also a land of fish and rice. He asked casually: "How much is a stone of silver?"

"Three cents." Ye Kai replied without thinking.

Yinzhen leaned forward unconsciously and asked in a deep voice: "How many?"

Ye Kai didn't dare to look up and repeated: "One stone of rice costs three cents of silver, and the 150,000 stone of rice on our ship were all purchased at a price of three cents per stone."

"Is it rice or not?" Yinzhen asked in disbelief. The price of grain was too low.

Seeing that Yinzhen was so interested in the rice they transported, Ye Kai felt a glimmer of hope and said with confidence: "Go back to the prince, it's rice."

Yinzhen was so excited that he wanted to stand up and yell. Siam was not far from Karopa. It could be reached in four or five days. A stone of rice was only three cents of silver, which was four times different from Shanghai! In this way, not only military rations, but also the food of Australian immigrants could be imported from Siam. How much money can this save? More importantly, with food, the rapid growth of the population will not be restricted, which is really important for the plan to use the population to reclaim overseas bans.

At this time, the personal guard who went out first quickly walked in and whispered in a low voice: "This person is the second leader, named Ye Kai, and the eldest leader is called Zheng Jinxin."

Zheng Jinxin! Zheng Jinxin, who robbed Zhang Yuanlong's merchant ship in the East China Sea? Yinzhen immediately chuckled. The world was so small. He glanced at Ye Kai who was lying on the ground. He teased: "Ye family is very brave. He lies in front of me, but he didn't even blink. Humph, it turns out that he is extremely sinful and he knows that he can't escape death. Therefore, he wants to resist to the end. Since that's the case, I will fulfill you."

Then, he ordered lightly: "Send the order, leave no living mouth, and sink all ships."

When Ye Kai heard this, he was so scared that he kowtowed repeatedly: "Prince, please wait. The court has always only punished the evil people. Zheng's family said that he would rather give up his head and hand over all the ships, just to leave a way out for his brothers, and ask the prince to be kind. They are all from poor families, so the prince will be kind." As he said that, he kowtowed repeatedly, knocking the cabin board to make a sound.
