The South China Sea in June is the hottest time of the year.

Yang Qiwa stood on the mast, constantly wiping her sweat.

He had never experienced this kind of sultry weather since he was a child, and he was really a little unaccustomed to it.

It's no wonder that when it came time to set off, the East China Sea Fishery issued shorts and shorts to the crew.

At first, he thought that the shorts were immoral, but now he realizes that this is the most suitable clothing.

"Captain, there's a small island ahead, and there seem to be signs of ship activity."

Yang Qiwa held the binoculars and looked at the sea in front of her.

Hearing Yang Qiwa say this, Zhou Fu immediately quickly climbed the mast to confirm the situation ahead.

When he set off, His Royal Highness the King of Chu had already instructed many times that this time he would go to the South Seas to familiarize himself with the sea conditions, explore the route, and put safety first.

Therefore, the three-bow large ship departed, two of which were fully armed, and did not carry much cargo except for food and fresh water.

"Tuesday Fu, what's the situation?"

At this moment, Yu Chihuan and Fang Yiai also heard the movement and came out of the cabin.

"Two Lang Jun, there seems to be ship activity on the island ahead."

"So what are you waiting for, inform all personnel, get ready for battle. His Royal Highness the King of Chu said that in the South China Sea, there are all kinds of islands, and there are many pirates operating in this sea area. ”

Starting from Guangzhou, the fleet has been drifting at sea for a month, and Wei Chihuan has long felt a little boring.

Now when I hear the movement, I immediately feel excited.

Ordinary merchant ships are afraid to hear that there are pirates, but this fleet of the East China Sea fishery, whether it is personnel or equipment, is the top in this era, and Wei Chihuan is not worried about encountering pirates at all.

With Wei Chihuan's order, someone immediately waved the order flag and commanded several ships to prepare for battle.

On the island ahead, a group of people were happily celebrating.

"The big boss, these Persian maritime merchants are really rich, a whole boatload of silk, sold to the Cham people, can be exchanged for a lot of rice, wine and meat."

A group of topless, sun-tanned pirates were drinking and nibbling on grilled fish.

"Luo Sandao, do you know that you think about eating all day long, so you don't think about going to Zhancheng to change the girl and come back?"

"What's so good about? Is there meat to taste? ”

"Hahaha!"

Some of the battle-hardened pirates around them showed a smile that they all understood, and those who didn't understand still didn't understand.

Luo Sandao is a special existence in this group of pirates.

He is relatively honest and honest, and he has no heart, but his appetite is surprisingly large, and one person can eat three people's things.

Don't look at these pirates, they seem to be living a life of eating meat and drinking a lot.

In fact, most of the year, they don't have enough to eat.

Especially a big food like Xiangluo Sandao.

However, fortunately, Luo Sandao has been able to speak several languages since he was a child, and the pirate leaders are willing to take him with him when they go out to sell the stolen goods, so that he can have the opportunity to get some additional benefits.

Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have survived now.

"Big boss, next time we'll see if we can go ashore to do a ticket, and grab some girls to come back."

"It should be okay to exchange silk, and the maidservants over there are not worth much."

"This boat of silk can be exchanged for a lot of mothers-in-law."

A group of people fantasized about a better life in the future, and they didn't notice that several ships were rapidly approaching in the distance.

"Lang Jun, nine times out of ten you are a pirate."

Zhu Erfu had already seen the scene on the shore through the telescope.

Obviously, this is not an island inhabited by normal people.

"Good! It just so happened that the brothers were tired of staying on the boat, and they moved their hands and feet, and by the way, they could catch a few people and ask about the situation in the nearby seas. ”

Yu Chihuan wiped his palms excitedly.

According to the story that Li Kuan told everyone in Chang'an City, the pirates are the most familiar with the nearby seas, and maybe there are pirate treasures on the island.

I heard that some islands have been inhabited by pirates for hundreds of years, and the wealth in them is amazing.

"Big boss! Oh no! Big boss, no! ”

A small minion rushed towards everyone with a pale face.

"Fuck your shit, why am I bad? I'm fine. ”

Before the little minion could stand firmly, he was kicked to the ground by the big boss.

The emperor is far away, and on this island, the big boss is the sky and the law.

"No, that's not what I meant, yes...... There were ships coming from outside, several large ships that had never been seen before. ”

The little minion dutifully explained the reason why he came here.

"Big ship? And the big ship dares to come to us on its own initiative? ”

"The big boss, will there be a fat sheep sent to the door by himself?"

"No, no, don't drink it, come with me on the boat."

Being able to sit firmly in the big boss of this group of pirates naturally has some ability.

If you think about it with your brain a little, you will know that those who come are not good, and those who are good are not coming.

Begging for a living at sea, whether it is black eating black, whether it is the official army and suppressing bandits, everything is possible.

Only the fat sheep themselves were sent to the island, which could not have happened.

In this era, Datang's winemaking technology is like that, not to mention all parts of Nanyang.

So although these pirates have been drinking for a long time, most of them can still operate normally, except for the kind of alcohol that is really super bad.

Next to the island are two slightly larger boats, as well as a few smaller boats.

At this time, once it is judged that someone is coming, the best thing to do is not to organize resistance on the island, but to hurry up and get on the boat!

The island is isolated from the sea, and if there are no ships, the people on it will starve to death sooner or later.

So the big boss took the people on his side, and ran barefoot towards the boat.

These southern barbarians, after years of training, are no longer understandable to ordinary Tang people; Even if you step on the reef, you can't feel the pain.

Practice makes perfect, and these pirates were familiar with the situation on the island, as well as with their own ships.

After a while, everyone will be in place.

Luo Sandao held a large knife with several notches and stood at the bow of the boat excitedly.

As one of the few strong men on the island, Luo Sandao's favorite thing is to fight.

Regardless of whether they are Persians or Tianzhu, in his eyes, they are all people who can be exchanged for rewards and have a full stomach.

Among the pirates, there are also the junglers.

If it weren't for Luo Sandao's combat effectiveness being strong enough, he wouldn't have survived today.

Looking at the ships that were getting closer and closer, Luo Sandao smirked.

But the big boss felt a hint of worry.

These ships are too big!

Never seen such a big ship.

Which country's ship is this?

Persia?

No, the style is noticeably different.

Tianzhu?

Neither is it.

As for the countries of Chenla and Champa, it is even more unlikely.

Could it be that this is the empire in the north?

……

The sky is clear and there is hardly a trace of clouds in sight.

The blue water, accompanied by the waves.

Standing on the deck of the flagship "East China Sea Fishery", Wei Chihuan smelled the faint fishy smell in the air, and in the telescope, he could clearly see that several ships next to the island began to set sail and come towards him.

What a fearless person is the ignorant!

In the vast sea, if these ships are scattered in all directions, there is really nothing they can do.

However, they actually wanted to hit the "East China Sea Fishery" head-on, this is the largest sea ship in the entire Tang Dynasty, there are five giant sails alone, and those small boats run over, and they have no chance to jump into the gang to fight.

"Brother Wei Chi, to deal with these pirates, I don't think we need a bed crossbow, maybe we can even capture people and ships together."

Fang Yiai felt that he had conquered the other party with the bed crossbow and crossbow arrows alone, and he had no sense of accomplishment at all.

I've been holding back for so long, so I must have a good time today.

"Bereavement, have you forgotten what His Royal Highness the King of Chu said when he was in Chang'an? The lion fights the rabbit, and also uses all his strength. Now we are alone, and we must not be careless. Why not defeat the other without killing or injuring anyone? ”

Looking at the fang bereavement who was thinking about the battle with a tendon, Yu Chihuan was also very helpless.

This guy should follow the army to guard the frontier, not suitable for the sea.

But he still looks like a nautical expert, staying on this ship today, and moving on to another tomorrow.

The most unbearable thing is that every evening, after the speed of the boat has slowed down, this guy must take off his pants and jump into the sea to swim.

"Hey, I just feel so strong that I have nowhere to vent. Yesterday I met a whale in the sea, and you didn't let me hunt it. ”

Yu Chihuan's face darkened.

Yesterday's whale was at least eight or nine zhang long, even in Dengzhou, it was a rare giant whale.

With three sea boats, you can certainly kill this whale, but the key is what do you kill it for?

Feed the sharks?

"Bereavement, if you are so uneasy, next time I will tell the prince that you will go to Ishimi Silver Mountain to guard the mine."

"Don't, what's the point of guarding the mine, I look at the silver every day, and I feel that the fun of life is gone."

"Ahem!"

Zhu Erfu watched the two bigwigs on the side still talking about each other, and couldn't help but remind him.

"Two Lang Jun, there are more than 200 of these pirates, if we accidentally let them get on our ship and break something, there is no place nearby to repair it, did we preemptively sink them with a bed crossbow?"

Seeing that the other party's ships were extremely rudimentary, and they couldn't stop the shooting of the giant bed crossbow at all, Zhu Erfu felt that it was safe to send them to the sea to feed the fish as soon as possible.

As for Lang Jun's hope to find a few captives to ask about the situation, it depends on who has good water quality and can not be drowned.

At the same time, the pirates watched the enemy getting closer and closer, and slowly realized that something was wrong.

Why did the people on deck carry swords?

It seems that there are still people wearing armor?

Compared with ships, except for the numerical advantage of one's own side, there is no other comparison.

It seems that there are more people than the number of people.

than weapons......

He looked around at his companions with miscellaneous swords......

Many pirates began to lose heart.

In the pirate industry, the most bullying is to be afraid of the hard.

Most of the time, they interact with several ships, surround a lone merchant ship, and then do a vote.

This is the first time that such a passive situation has been made today.

At this time, it seems that if you want to escape, it is a little too late.

"The big bosses, these are the Tang people, we ...... Shall we go up and negotiate first? We haven't robbed the Tang people's sea ships lately. ”

Next to the big boss, a figure who looks like a military advisor is obviously a person who knows the goods.

In fact, the source of personnel in this group of pirates is very chaotic.

Strictly speaking, the ancestors of some of the people in it are also Han Chinese.

"Do you see their menacing appearance, as if they want to negotiate with us?"

The big boss took a deep breath and recharged himself with a little confidence.

"Inform everyone, prepare to fight, today's ticket is finished, I will take everyone to Zhancheng to enjoy a good handful, enough meat, enough women!"

It seems that he feels that he is already on the edge of the most dangerous, and the rare arrogance of the big boss.

"Big boss, look at me, I'll be the first to kill the other party's ship in a while."

As soon as Luo Sandao heard that the meat tube was enough, he was excited inside.

Whoever can feed himself will give his life to whomever he wants.

This is Luo Sandao's most simple concept.

"Whoosh!"

As soon as Luo Sandao finished speaking, he felt the ship tremble.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of the water was heard, and even the waves crashing against the ship could not hide the sound.

"It's leaking! Big boss, the ship is leaking! ”

A minion ran out of the cabin in a panic.

"Bang!"

The big boss pulled out his big knife and slashed the minion to the ground.

"If you don't fix the leak, what do you want to do when you run out?"

However, the minions that kept coming out of his neck with blood were no longer able to answer his question.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Soon, one after another, a series of special arrows from the bed crossbow hit the ship where the great master was located.

Who made this ship the largest became the first target of Wei Chihuan's attack.

"Ahh

An arrow floated across the deck, strung straight through a string of pirates, and then rushed out of the deck and landed on the surface.

Where have these pirates seen this kind of scene?

Even in the army that occupies the city, there is no such terrifying weapon, right?

What are these people?

It's also too bullying.

Before their ships got close to each other, they were demoralized, and the big bosses no longer expected to gain anything today.

It's nice to be able to get out of it all the way.

"The ship is sinking, big boss, quick! Jumping into the water, we moved to the boat next to us. ”

The pirate's ship was already small, and after being shot by the bed crossbow, a large stream of sea water immediately poured into the cabin.

It was just a cup of tea, and the bow deck was already tilted to the sea.

This ship is coming to an end!

Luo Sandao felt a little confused!

I still wanted to earn some credit, but I didn't expect that the ship would sink without moving.

"Brother Wei Chi, I just said, just these pirates, there is no need to use bed crossbows at all, and even the crossbow arrows on the deck don't need to be wasted, I can overturn a boatload of them alone."

Fang Yiai looked at the pirates who had suffered heavy losses under the attack of bed crossbows and crossbow arrows, and looked uncomfortable.

"Lang Jun, the guide who can speak Champa said that these pirates are shouting surrender!"

Zhu Erfu came to Wei Chihuan to see if he wanted to stay alive today.

"Surrender?"

Yu Chihuan looked at the pirates who were constantly diving, and his face showed a strange smile.

……

The location of Daraa Island is good.

It was not on the route often used by Persian and Chenla maritime merchants, but it was less than a hundred miles away from it.

It is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, with only the north-facing side being a natural harbor.

What's even more surprising is that there is fresh water!

Fresh water, which is rare on the mainland, is essential for survival on the island.

So, I don't know that hundreds of years ago, there were islands here.

I don't know how many big bosses have been replaced, so that I have today's appearance.

"Those who understand me, stand ahead."

Wei Chihuan looked at the row of pirates kneeling on the beach in front of him, and couldn't help but show a look of contempt.

Dwarf poor!

If he knew that word, he thought it would be the best way to describe these pirates.

All of them are black and short, and few people can see people.

"I'll just say one word, everyone listen."

Wei Chihuan didn't care whether these people could understand what he was saying, "Those who can speak Chinese take three steps forward, remember, it's three steps, and the others don't move." ”

Niu Sandao looked up at Yu Chihuan, and then looked around.

Several Chinese-speaking people glanced at each other, and then immediately scrambled to their feet.

As soon as they moved, some people who didn't know what the situation was, also moved.

"Bang!"

"Ahh

Soon, Cheng Biting Jin was about to greet these pirates who didn't know how to pretend to understand and didn't know why.

Only five or six people obediently took three steps forward and stood there.

It seems that these are the ones who really understand Chinese.

"That's it! A few of you stand up, and I'll ask again, which of you is willing to serve the fishing industry in the East China Sea? ”

Luo Sandao opened his mouth and couldn't help asking, "If you serve the fishing industry in the East China Sea, can you have a full stomach?" ”

Fang Yiai listened to it next to him, and his heart was happy, how could this guy be the same as himself, just thinking about eating?

"The meat tube is full, the corn tube is enough, and we have no hungry people in the East China Sea fishery."

Fang Yiai stared at Luo Sandao, this guy is the tallest person in this group of pirates.

Even so, he was a head shorter than himself.

However, the muscular arm should suggest that this guy should have some strength.

"That'...... Then I'll do it with you! I am willing to serve the fishing industry in the East China Sea! ”

Luo Sandao did not hesitate.

As for whether he betrayed the big boss by doing this?

This is not a problem for him at all.

Whoever can feed himself will give his life to whomever he wants.

Luo Sandao's philosophy of life is as simple as that.

"I ...... I would too. ”

"I am very familiar with the nearby waters, and I am willing to serve the fishing industry in the East China Sea."

None of you are stupid.

The centaur in front of him who is fishing in the East China Sea is obviously a big thick leg.

If you don't hold it at this time, how long will you wait?

Perhaps, I will have the opportunity to go to the Heavenly Empire in the future.

"Good! Those who know the times are Junjie, in addition to knowing Chinese, what else do you speak? ”

Although the fleet hired a few guides who were familiar with the situation in the South Seas when they were in Guangzhou, they heard that there were many small countries in the South Seas, and each country spoke different words.

In order to make the fleet more smoothly operate in Nanyang in the future, Wei Chihuan felt that it was necessary to recruit a few guys who knew the Chinese languages of Nanyang.

"I'll talk about the city."

"I'll speak in Linyi."

"I'll be real!"

"I will speak both Persian and Lion Nation."

Luo Sandao watched as more and more smiles appeared on Yu Chihuan's face, and couldn't help but stand up, "What they can say, I will." ”

"Huh?"

Yu Chihuan couldn't help but shift his attention to this silly-looking guy.

If I remember correctly, just now Lin Yi dialect, Zhancheng dialect, those captives spoke at least five languages, plus Chinese, this is the six Chinese dialect.

Could it be that this stupid guy is actually a language genius?

The Wang Xuance next to His Royal Highness the King of Chu heard that he could speak several words such as Turkic and Goguryeo, and he already thought he was very powerful.

Unexpectedly, in this group of pirates, there are even more.

"What's your name?"

Yu Chihuan couldn't help but take an interest in Luo Sandao.

"Luo Sandao! My name is Luo Sandao. Because no one on the whole island could catch my three knives, everyone called me Luo three knives. ”

"Good! Luo Sandao, you will follow me in the future, as long as you work hard, you will be able to enjoy any delicacies from the mountains and seas, and the delicacies of the world. When the time comes, I will take you to Chang'an City to let you see what food is. ”

"Chang'an City? Do I really have a chance to go to Chang'an City? ”

During the Qin and Han dynasties, South Asia's proximity to Lingnan Province was already under the governance of the Central Dynasty.

In particular, in the Han Dynasty, a large area around Nanyang was included in the jurisdiction of Rinan County, so many people have heard of Chang'an City.

Heavenly Empire!

For the countries of the South Seas, it is really a high-ranking existence.

Hearing that he could have the opportunity to go to Chang'an City and be able to eat his stomach, Luo Sandao was definitely the luckiest day in his life today.

Forehead......

If you don't think about jumping into the water in embarrassment, you will be fished out of the water like a school of dead fish.

"Brother Wei Chi, it's no problem to keep these few who know Chinese, and I think the others can be cut with a knife."

Fang Yiai felt that there was no point in keeping those southern barbarians who didn't know what to say.

There is a certain amount of fresh water and food on the ship, and no one knows when the next opportunity to replenish will come, so naturally they don't want to bring so much more burden.

Wei Chihuan was a little entangled for a while.

Zhu Erfu: "Lang Jun, this Dara Island, eh, Luo Sandao, is it called Dara Island, right?" ”

Luo Sandao: "Yes, it has always been called Dara Island. ”

"This Daraa Island, the location is actually very special, I looked at it in combination with the nautical chart, in fact, it is a very good supply point. In the future, the fishing fleet of the East China Sea will go to the South Sea, and this place can be used as a fixed supply ground. ”

Zhu Erfu considered the problem, obviously more comprehensive than Wei Chihuan and Fang Yiai.

Li Kuan discussed with Zhu Erfu very early on that if the East China Sea fishery wants to sail everywhere in the sea, it must have enough supply points.

When you are along the Datang coast, you can dock at any time to replenish supplies, but it is not a big problem.

For example, now, after leaving Guangzhou, except for a replenishment in Qiongzhou, there has been no replenishment of fresh water and food.

This situation is very dangerous.

"We've only got three ships this time, so it's impossible to leave a large number of people here to build a supply point."

Yu Chihuan thought about it, and also felt that what Zhu Erfu said was right, but he didn't know what to do.

"Lang Jun, aren't these captives ready-made human hands?"

Zhu Erfu pointed to the more than 100 captives on the beach, and said with a smile: "We destroyed all their ships, without sea ships, these pirates would not be able to run away at all." If they dare not build docks, houses and other facilities according to our requirements, we will send them to feed the fish on the return trip. ”

"Huh? The idea seems good. Brother Wei Chi, we can also calculate the grain and take the excess away, and when the time comes, see if they dare not obey the order. ”

Fang Yiai added on the side.

The men discussed it in detail, leaving a captive who knew Chinese to manage the pirates.

As for how to establish the prestige of these newly promoted leaders, it is natural to borrow the heads of the original pirate leaders.

This can be regarded as an alternative vote.

When he was in Iwami Yinshan, Yu Chihuan was already very familiar with it.
