Chapter 1170 Leveraging the Foundation of the Empire

"Hmph, let you humiliate me. I'll see how you run away this time!"

Grumman was helped up by the guards and said with a grin on his face.

"Master Grumman, you'd better go back." The fat man said respectfully.

"No, I'm right here. I want to see him get caught. I want to step on his face with my leather boots. I want him to kneel down and beg me for forgiveness! How dare you take my money!"

Grumman said through gritted teeth.

"Master Grumman, please rest assured. The Governor has mobilized the garrison. I believe that under the encirclement and suppression of the two cruisers, a mere merchant ship will not be able to escape our grasp."

The fat man said respectfully.

"What should we do? With two cruisers, we may not be able to get out."

Elizabeth said looking at the battleships outside the port.

"Don't worry, I have a solution!"

Zhang Tuohai used his skill to summon a ghost ship.

The battleship Coconut sailed out of the void and then crashed into a cruiser at lightning speed.

The cruiser didn't expect that a battleship would suddenly appear out of the void. When it saw the battleship clearly, the battleship's collision angle was already less than ten meters away from them.

At this distance, it was already too late to dodge.

boom! Click!

With a harsh friction sound, the Coconut's collision angle broke open the side armor of the cruiser, and then moved forward like a knight holding a lance.

Everything encountered by the collision angle, whether it was the gun deck or the mast, was smashed into two sections.

The starboard side of the cruiser also tilted due to the pressure, and the deck formed a 30-degree slope with the sea level. Then the Coconut relied on the huge impact force and rushed up along this slope.

Immediately afterwards, a violent breaking sound was heard.

The cruiser couldn't bear the weight of the battleship and broke suddenly, and the entire ship was broken into two pieces.

In this case, even the gods could not save the cruiser. In the blink of an eye, the second-class cruiser sank to the bottom of the sea.

Everyone in the port and the people on the other cruiser were dumbfounded.

First of all, they didn't expect that a battleship would suddenly appear.

The second was the shock of the cruiser's sinking.

It was a cruiser of the Royal Navy that was invincible across the seven seas.

The most invincible navy in the world.

When was the last time a cruiser sank?

It was at least ten years ago.

Today, a Royal Navy warship sank in front of them, which was tantamount to a heavy blow to their outlook.

"How is this possible?" Grumman was stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief.

The Royal Navy on the other cruiser didn't expect that it was just an easy catch in a jar. As a result, within five minutes of the appearance, a battleship sank. This made them feel like they were dreaming and they couldn't react for a while.

They couldn't react, but the Coconut was not idle.

After ramming and sinking a cruiser, the Coconut was on the T-head of another cruiser.

All the broadside guns were aimed at the stern of the other cruiser.

"Fire!"

Boom, boom, boom!

The Coconut's broadside guns fired a salvo, and dozens of shells were fired into the cruiser's stern.

Cruisers are famous for their high speed, high attack, and low defense, and their stern defense is even worse among their shortcomings.

After these explosive shells were fired from the stern of the ship, they even rushed into the center of the gun deck without any hindrance, and then exploded.

The scattered shell fragments, like steel fragments, took the lives of its gunners.

The entire gun deck was in chaos.

As luck would have it, a shell hit the propellant.

The flames ignited the piles of propellant powder.

Boom!

The propellant exploded, and the huge explosion directly broke the keel of the ship.

The cruiser broke into two sections and sank quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In less than two minutes, the two Royal Navy cruisers were completely destroyed and sank to the bottom of the sea.

At this time, those people on the shore were dumbfounded.

They stared blankly at the battleship sinking into the sea, filled with questions.

How did the mighty Royal Navy sink?

They don't understand.

After sinking two cruisers, the Coconut did not stop there, but began to turn and aimed its guns at those on the shore.

"Run!" The fat man saw that something was not going well, so he turned around and wanted to run away.

But it was already too late.

Boom, boom, boom!

Clouds of gunpowder smoke exploded, and exploding bombs fell into the port.

The neatly arranged port guards were blown directly into the sky.

Grumman was directly hit by a shell, his body was shattered, and his limbs and arms were flying everywhere.

Boom, boom!

The Coconut's artillery has been roaring, and they have only one goal at this time, which is to shoot out all the cannonballs within the time they exist.

Cannonballs exploded in the harbor.

By the time the Coconut's existence time expired and the Coconut dissipated, the entire port had become like the surface of the moon.

"Come on, let's go ashore and take a look."

Zhang Tuohai stood up, took the Unsullied off the boat, and stepped on the land at the dock.

There were body parts everywhere, and there was a burning smell everywhere.

A group of people walked into the city.

Thanks to the previous determination of the governor to capture Zhang Tuohai, all the garrison in the city were transferred to the port, so that they were all wiped out by Zhang Tuohai's shelling.

Now, apart from the symbolic guards at the Governor's Mansion, there was almost no available soldier in the entire city.

Seeing Zhang Tuohai leading his men to kill them, the guards dropped their weapons and disappeared.

The Governor was also missing.

Zhang Tuohai didn't bother to pay attention, and directly broke open the door of the Governor's Mansion and moved out all the things inside.

All the useful ones were moved to the ship, and the rest were distributed directly to the civilians throughout the city.

Zhang Tuohai didn't care whether the divided things would be snatched back by the governor, as long as the conflict between the governor and the civilians was planted.

Zhang Tuohai discovered that his enemy was the entire empire. If he wanted to leverage the empire, he would have to rely on himself alone. One ship was not enough.

With just one of his ships, no matter how powerful he was, how many ships and fleets of the empire could he defeat?

It doesn't take much, the empire only needs to send 10 cruisers to chase him, and he will have no choice but to escape.

To reverse this situation, we must pry the corner of the empire from its foundation.

Only by making the empire's rule unstable and unable to care about him can he find opportunities to develop and grow.

Otherwise, sooner or later, they will be strangled to death by the empire's army.

And distributing the governor's wealth to the common people is only the first step.

He now wants to follow the path of a king, get close to the common people at the bottom, attack wealthy businessmen and governors, and get his name out, changing his identity from a pirate that everyone shouts about to a rebel who works for heaven.

Only in this way can he reverse the situation of being an enemy of the entire world.
