Chapter 16.32 Pirates
Zheng Laohu and this young man chatted on the deck. His heart was not without calculation. As a pirate, Zheng Laohu is still a thief.
Pirates won't let go of a good ship. For those at sea, bigger ships equals more power and more wealth, and more ships equals greater strength and greater deterrence. Zheng Laohu knew very well what it meant to be able to run fast without sails.
Coupled with so many boats, there were not a few people on the deck, and Zheng Laohu's heart was itching.
He regretted it a little.
If you leak the news to your brothers early and go out with all of them, you will be able to snatch one or two of them, even if you can't get your hands on all the ships. With such a ship, in the future, on this sea, will he Zheng Laohu be the boss?
According to Zheng Laohu's experience, the more people on deck, the stronger the ship's defense. There are almost no people on this deck, which is basically equivalent to saying that the defense force on this ship is almost zero.
Zheng Laohu would not believe that his brothers would be helpless against more than 30 ships with zero defense power.
According to his idea, as long as the knife is put on the neck of these sailors, these greedy and death-fearing fellows will obediently obey their orders. As for those two strong martial arts masters, without sailors, could it be that with just two people, they would be able to drive the boat to the shore?
Zheng Laohu is obviously not the only one who has such an idea.
The weather on this day was good, the view of the sea was quite good, and many pirates were far away. All noticed the fleet, and more than one person noticed that there was no one on the deck of these ships.
The pirates were excited.
How well-informed the pirates are. It is not inferior to the Daomen, and even a little faster than the government's response. Daomen has built such a big and so many ships, and the imperial court has not reacted until the boats of Daomen have been launched, and the relevant officials have reacted and hurriedly followed up to report. And the general of the Yangtze River Sailor who is directly in charge of this still doesn't believe it, and only knows that he is drunk and dreaming of death with one of the best red cards in his arms on the Qinhuai River.
It's the pirates. When these ships in Daomen were waiting for the "Wei Yueyan" who was picking up Zheng Laohu to come and converge, they got the news. What's more, they even inquired about how many sailors the Daomen had recruited.
As another well-numbered pirate group in this sea. When the eldest sister of Blood Rose got the news, she immediately slapped the table: "Such a large fleet, just a few people, if you don't rob it, I'm sorry for the name of the old lady." ”
The No. 1 henchman monkey beside him said, "Big sister." Daomen is a hard bone. ”
Monkeys are not born pirates. He was also a former fisherman, and he also spent time on shore. Luckier than ordinary people, he had seen the people of the Dao Gate, and he knew better how powerful those people above the Dao Gate were.
If you want to talk to the Taoists, the monkey always has a little less confidence in his heart.
"Monkey, don't say anything discouraged. What if we robbed all the boats of the Daomen? On this sea, it's not about talking with your fists! What about the Daomen? Can they still go down to the sea and arrest us? ”
Hearing the donkey say this, the monkey laughed angrily: "Donkey." Less nonsense! Why can they still go to the sea to catch us? They have now gone to the sea. ”
The man nicknamed Donkey immediately disagreed: "Don't forget, monkey. A good sailor is not trained by relying on a small sampan in the river, and the best sailors are born from strong winds and waves. What winds and waves can there be in a river? Besides, we also have the musket provided by the yellow-haired fanzi! ”
The monkey immediately lowered his face: "Donkey, you don't know how powerful the Daomen is, just shut up." ”
The donkey was not convinced, and immediately said, "Big sister." Monkeys are afraid of the Daomen, but I am not afraid. It's not like we haven't seen those Taoist masters, and who can beat the guns of muskets?! Big sister, don't miss the opportunity. Such a big ship, even if it has no sails, as long as it can be driven out, it is also face! ”
The monkey wanted to say something, but was stopped by their eldest sister: "Such a big fat meat ran to our mouths by itself, if I don't eat it, why will I still mix on the road in the future?" ”
Monkey Da Urgent: "The ...... of the Big Master"
"Needless to say. Inform the brothers, it's time to work! ”
When the donkey heard this, he grimaced at the monkey and turned away.
Seeing that the eldest sister was leaving, the monkey couldn't help but take a step forward: "Big boss, the Daomen is not something we can afford to offend." ”
"Whether you can afford to offend or not, you have to do it to know."
Seeing his eldest sister walk away without looking back, the monkey had no choice but to follow out of the cabin.
"Brothers, we've got work to do!"
Blood Rose shouted, and the pirates cheered.
These pirates, almost every one of them has more than one life in their hands, so they don't care whether they kill or not. For these pirates, they live by robbery. Robbery can bring them a lot of money, and killing can make their blood boil.
Killing is an addictive activity.
There are quite a few pirates who even enjoy the process of killing. For them, robbery and murder are life.
"This time, what we want to do is the ship of the Daomen."
Hearing that it was the ship of the Daomen, a few old people were stunned.
They are said to be old people, but in fact, they are still young, most of them are in their early thirties. On the shore, these are all men in the prime of life, but for pirates, thirty-year-old pirates are already old men, experienced, almost every pirate in their thirties is the head of a ship, and there are so many people under him.
One of them couldn't help but say, "Boss, the Daomen is not something we can afford to provoke. Are we going to change our goals? ”
Impulsive people have long since died, and to be able to mix up to today, these pirates in their thirties are not only murderous, but also quite treacherous. Without enough intelligence, they won't do it.
Of course, judging the situation is even more indispensable.
The eldest sister immediately said, "Brothers, don't worry. The brothers on the shore have already inquired clearly. The ships of the Daomen are all big ships. It was about the size of a treasure ship, and there were thirty-three of them. With such a large ship, the Daomen only recruited less than 800 people. Do you know what that means? This is equivalent to saying that on each of the thirty-three ships, there are only about twenty people who have survived. How big is our ship? The largest is only one-third of the treasure ship, but on each of our ships, there are more than a dozen brothers, some on board. Not even less than thirty brothers. You think, thirty-three treasure ships, but there are less than eight hundred. What does this mean? That is to say, these ships of the Daomen are not even enough to sail them. Such a ship, why don't we grab it ?! ”
Hearing the eldest sister say this, the pirates cheered.
In their minds, these ships are like girls in a building. It's already stripped naked. Just waiting for them to patronize.
The monkey couldn't help but interject: "Eldest sister, I heard that someone was also sent to Yuqing Mountain......
The monkey still wants to save it.
He had heard of the great masters of the Daoists on Yuqing Mountain.
"It's just two people, what can you do?" The eldest sister of the Blood Rose said impatiently, "We don't need to eat all the boats." There are so many boats, and we can't eat for a while. I mean, eat it separately. Eat two today. Eat two ships tomorrow. These sailors of Daomen used to be mixed in the rivers. Never at all, not at all our opponents. As long as we have perseverance and perseverance, the thirty-three ships will one day be all ours. ”
Hearing their eldest sister say this, the pirates cheered.
"But the sails of that ship are not ...... enough"
"There are not enough sails to make it easier for us to rob. When the boat is in hand, we'll find a way to put the sails on. Where is there so much nonsense! ”
Hearing his leader say this, the monkey was silent.
The pirates' ships were fast.
Most of the ships that can be chosen by the pirates are fast boats, with nimble sails and light ships, which can haunt the sea like a ghost.
The Blood Rose sent a number of people out to keep an eye on him, and according to his thoughts, a ship without sails should not be able to run fast. But in fact, according to her own experience, when the Blood Rose arrived at the predetermined location, she didn't even see a trace.
Blood Rose's eldest sister was furious.
"Check! Could it be that these thirty-three ships could still go to the sky? ”
The donkey said, "Could it be that these boats are still halfway there?" Big sister, should we wait a while? ”
The monkey said, "If you want me to say, maybe the ships have already run ahead of us." ”
The donkey said, "How is that possible! The wind is not in the right direction today. Besides, the sails on the thirty-three ships of the Daomen were simply not enough, and there were no good sailors. Do you think they really put on their wings and fly in front of us? ”
The monkeys were about to return the favor, but they saw their eldest sister raise her head.
Above them, an eagle was circling.
This eagle and the eagle slave were all obtained by them at a great price.
Before they could react, they saw their eldest sister scolding: "He|mother|, really let these rabbit cubs run to the front." ”
The donkey's eyes widened: "Could it be that these fat sheep on the ground really have wings?" ”
The eldest sister said, "Who knows?!" However, these people are not familiar with the sea routes, so when it is close to evening, they will drop anchor and rest. That's when our chance came. Now, the most important thing is where these ships will dock when the evening comes. ”
The donkey said, "Sister, I remember that there is a safe haven ahead. ”
The monkey said: "Those people recruited by the Daomen are all begging for a living in the rivers. How did they know there would be a natural haven in the area? ”
The donkey said: "But don't they have the big boss of Liuxian Island in their hands?" ”
The monkey said, "It's not your own boat, you think this distance is so easy to estimate?" ”
The two of them argued like this.
The eldest sister frowned there and thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Just bet once." The big boss of Liuxian Island can break through such a big foundation, and his ability is not comparable to ordinary people. If he doesn't even have this ability, then what kind of thing is the old lady who is fighting for territory with him?! ”
The monkey couldn't help but say, "But eldest sister, the people of the Daomen have stopped the boat, and if we hit one of the ships, it is equivalent to fighting all the people in their fleet." Isn't that too risky? ”
The big boss of the Blood Rose glanced at the henchman.
"You're too careful, too. Don't forget, these people were originally mixed in the rivers. Even if there are masters in it, what can it do? We only need to grab two ships, the other boats, and set them on fire. You say, when the fire burns, they will still be able to take care of us? ”
Hearing what his eldest sister said, the monkey stopped saying anything.
It's just that the monkey's heart is still full of worry. He knew that if these ships were really set on fire, then their enmity with the Daomen would be greater. But as a pirate, he still has some luck in his heart. That is, he thought that the two Dao masters who came out of Yuqing Mountain might get lost on the sea because they were not familiar with the direction, and finally could not go ashore.
In this way, no one will know their sins.
As for these ships, they use them first, in the open sea, and do not sail to the coast of the mainland. When time has passed, people have forgotten about it, and there will be no problem.
With this in mind, the pirates of the Blood Rose agreed.
Relying on their familiarity with this sea area, a group of Blood Roses, large and small, dispatched a total of twenty ships and set off under the cover of night. According to their estimates, when they arrived at that safe haven, it was exactly the time of Yin, that is, the time when normal people had the best sleep. Often at this time, a surprise attack is launched, and the harvest is also the greatest.
In fact, with the average person, their plan would have succeeded. However, whether it is Jia Jiu or Yu Ziqing, their cultivation has reached the point where they have long since sensed the breath beyond ordinary people.
When the pirates approached murderously, Jia Jiu and Yu Ziqing both woke up from their meditation.
Yu Ziqing still remembers taking the stairs to the deck, and then jumping onto the lookout. But Jia Jiu is much more direct. He jumped out of the cabin window, and Edgeworth flew into the air.
Just as the Blood Rose got the information, because good sailors are not easy to find, and the Daomen prioritizes the reliability of the recruits, there are not many sailors in this fleet. By the time the time came, the sailors were almost asleep.
If they don't have a good rest, they won't be able to work the next day.
So, when the people of the Blood Rose climbed onto the outermost ship, they didn't see a single one, and the whole ship was silent.
The Blood Rose men winked at each other, felt for their weapons, hunched over, and crept forward.
On the other side, Jia Jiu had already reached an agreement with Yu Ziqing in the sky.
I saw the sword light cross, and the sails of the ships brought by the Blood Rose landed on the deck. A few people who stayed behind, in shock, were also pointed. (To be continued.) )
