Of course, Tang Zhangwei will not talk too much, because people who talk a lot are the most annoying.

Tang Zhangwei didn't want to show off his erudition in front of Han Yong, the leader of a second-rate mercenary group.

In Zhenhae, many people carry all kinds of goods onto ships, others go to buy fresh water, and many people bring food and fruit to the ocean-going ships.

Tang Zhangwei looked at the many ocean-going sailing ships in Zhenhai Port and said: "How many employment problems have my people in the Tang Dynasty solved by relying on ocean-going trade!"

Han Yong, the leader of the mercenary group, said with deep feelings: "These ocean-going sailing ships went out with a large amount of porcelain and industrial products from the Tang Dynasty, and brought back European luxury goods, gold and silver. ”

Tang Zhangwei said: "Our Datang sailing ships rely on the monsoon of the Pacific Ocean to sell our Datang goods smoothly, and they do make a lot of money. ”

Han Yong, the leader of the mercenary group, said: "Yes! This industry feeds a lot of people, and even the food waste and feces on the ship are specially headed and treated. ”

Tang Zhangwei said: "Didn't those merchant ships throw these things into the ocean? ”

Han Yong, the head of the mercenary group, said: "In the open sea, they can lose it, but in the near sea, they don't dare to do so, because when our Datang sailing ships are in the near sea, as long as the wind is favorable, they are faster than those sailing ships, and they can easily catch up with those European and Arab sailing ships." ”

"In the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, there are no regular monsoons, so they have to rely on multi-faceted sails to overcome the chaotic sea breezes in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans," Tang said. Therefore, their crew has to master the adjustment of the multi-faceted sail of the sailboat, and the skill of pulling the rope to adjust the various sails. Despite this, when sailing with full sails, those sailing ships of the Eastern Roman Empire are incomparable with our Tang Dynasty. ”

In the port, many coolies from the Tang Dynasty are carrying porcelain and glazed ware, and there are even many people carrying glazed tiles.

Because in Europe, in the Eastern Roman Empire, everyone could not fire such glass utensils.

However, the goods downloaded at the port are also strange, including models of steam engines from the Eastern Roman Empire, various European clocks, and even tin cups made by European craftsmen.

Even more dazzling are the fruits and rice that are brought back from all over the South Seas, as well as many gems from the South Seas.

In particular, in the upper and lower Burma provinces of the Tang Dynasty, there are all kinds of precious fragrant wood, jadeite and various gemstones, as well as something called Burmese bells.

This kind of thing, which feels like a copper bell on the outside, and contains mercury inside, shakes when it is hot, which makes Tang Zhangwei very surprised.

This thing is used for the pleasure of the bed, and when Tang Zhangwei saw it, he wanted to buy one and try it with Princess Suining.

Princess Suining spat on Tang Zhangwei, and she said: "There is mercury in this thing, and mercury is poisonous, and many women who use this thing are short-lived. You don't want to kill the slaves, do you? ”

After hearing this, Tang Zhangwei left, he was a little reluctant, and left the stall selling Burmese bells and kept looking back.

Due to the introduction of Han Yong, the head of the mercenary group, Tang Zhangwei went to sea, and they got on a galleon of the Eastern Roman Empire.

This kind of sailing ship with many sails, ordinary mercenaries are reluctant to go up, because the money charged to protect the sailboat is about the same.

However, the galleons of the Eastern Roman Empire were the focus of piracy in the Pacific Ocean.

All the pirates knew that the Eastern Roman Empire had a lot of money on its sailing ships, so they wanted to make a fortune by robbing them.

The members of the mercenary group are all begging for money, not for life, so they all want to make some cheap money. It's a pity that the vast majority of ship owners in Datang don't want to spend this money.

Because Tang Zhangwei's army is too strong, those who hurt and harass innocent Datang merchant ships will be wiped out by Tang Zhangwei's navy.

Therefore, the pirates had to turn to disturb the merchant ships of the Eastern Roman Empire and Europe.

When Tang Zhangwei reached the sea, he was stunned when he found that the waves were as high as a dozen pine trees.

It is not the first time for Tang Zhangwei to see the sea, but it is the first time to experience such a big storm.

Tang Zhangwei held back his nausea and comforted himself and said: "Seeing the world through wind and rain, I must persevere." ”

The merchant ship boss of the Eastern Roman Empire said to Tang Zhangwei and the other mercenaries: "Thank you to the great Holy Cross God, who has given us a storm, and those damned Southeast Asian pirates dare not show up." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of pirates with skull flags appeared.

Tang Zhangwei was eating, and as a military general, he was very careful to eat on time. He's feeding him egg crisps, which aren't too expensive, but they're perfect for a makeshift filling.

Because Tang Zhangwei knew that these foods could prevent him from getting stomach problems.

But those damned Malacca pirates didn't care if Tang Zhangwei had eaten or not, these people rushed over, and they hooked the side of the big ship of the Eastern Roman Empire with a small boat with a hook.

The pirates were armed with weapons of all sorts and shouted to climb the ship.

Since the Eastern Roman Empire was a multi-sail sailing ship, it could not get rid of these pirate boats, and sailing ships with three sails.

So, the thieves climbed aboard the sailboat.

Tang Zhangwei saw the thieves shouting and rushing over, Tang Zhangwei had to pick up his weapon and rushed towards them with Bai Cunxiao.

The pirate leader, Matsurokutake, said loudly: "Give me those bastards who killed those merchants and mercenary groups of the Eastern Roman Empire, I want to see their corpses." ”

Papaste, a merchant from the Eastern Roman Empire, exclaimed, "Brothers of the mercenary group, let me see your strength!" ”

Han Yong, the leader of the mercenary group, stood up with a machete, and he cut people when he saw them.

Bai Cunxiao drew a silver spear, and the spear stabbed the pirates to the vital point.

Tang Zhangwei and Princess Suining shot at the enemy with their bows and crossbows, and the pirates fell to the ground and died.

The pirates stepped back, jumped into the boat, and rushed to the depths of the sea.

Those pirates didn't expect to encounter such a hard idea as Tang Zhangwei, they didn't expect that the mercenary group had a basis for advancing and retreating, they relied on a neat formation and outstanding defense to beat the pirate group with an advantage in numbers.

Mao Yitong, the deputy leader of the pirates, said loudly: "Li Wujiang, you bastard, how did you find out about the relationship, such a stinging fleet, you actually told me that it was a fat sheep, and my men were almost completely buried in the sea." ”

The pirate's spy Li Wujiang said: "The small one can only pretend to be a loader to see which ship has more treasures, but I didn't expect that there is a powerful mercenary group here." ”

The pirate leader Matsurokutake said: "Forget it, since we almost stopped the merchant ship of the Eastern Roman Empire, and we almost got the money on it, but we were repelled by the mercenary group, don't be angry." We couldn't get this fat sheep, so we looked for other fat sheep. ”
