In the calm waters of the Lei Yue Mun waterway, a string of sail gunboats with white sails and slender hulls are sailing.

Lei Yue Mun is naturally the sea gate located at the eastern tip of Hong Kong Island in later generations. The narrow seaway, which is less than 500 meters wide, is being pointed out and judged by a group of people with feelings.

Since there was no longer a supply port after passing Xiamen, in order to save fuel, the fleet began to sail with sails. Even so, the fast fleet, which has structural advantages such as ship type, rudder and power sail mounting, still maintains a speed of 7 knots in partial winds, far exceeding all ship types of this era.

After completing the 400-kilometer voyage from Xiamen to Hong Kong in two days, the fleet arrived at Liyumen in the early morning of 17 July.

Originally, according to the meaning of Commander Wang Bo, since he arrived in Hong Kong, the fleet must take the southern route and go to Lamma Island to go around and say hello to the leader of Liu Xiang's gang - the station of Liu Xiang's gang has long been no secret, and the main force is on Lamma Island.

Because Liu Xiang was born on Lamma Island, he usually puts his station here when he arrives in Guangdong. What the 17th-century Lau gang leader would not have imagined was that in later generations, he would often be mentioned in passing because he was the only two celebrities on Lamma Island, and the other was Fa Ge.

Then Commander Wang Bowang's proposal was rejected. You must know that in addition to him, there is also an idle passenger like Zhang Dongdong on the ship. Naturally, guests don't want to go to Lamma Island since they have all arrived at Lei Yue Mun, so isn't it good to go through the waterway to see Causeway Bay, Central, and Tsim Sha Tsui?

So Commander Wang could only be shamefully defeated by the tourists. Fortunately, the task of this fleet is only to open up the Pearl River waterway, not to eliminate Liu Xiang's main force, so Commander Wang can only reluctantly order the fleet to take the Liyumen waterway.

Less than ten miles after passing through Lei Yue Mun, you will be passing through the thunderous Causeway Bay. Most of the passengers on the ship are now in their thirties, Causeway Bay, Tsim Sha Tsui, Chan Ho Nam, these terms are exactly the memories of their youth.

However, the reality is bound to disappoint everyone. In the 17th century, Causeway Bay, Central, and Tsim Sha Tsui across the waterway, where is there a shadow of the Oriental Pearl? What catches everyone's eye is not the towering buildings, but the lush vegetation and dilapidated fishing villages; What appeared in the telescope was not Brother Hao Nan in leather pants, but a fisherman with a thin face and no pants to wear.

"It's really fucking boring, when Lao Tzu Situ Haonan retires in the future, he will develop this piece!" Ma Yue, deputy director of the Intelligence Bureau, was wearing a Nanjing satin robe, with a bun on his head and a single-lens reflex around his neck.

Yes, in the eyes of those who are accustomed to seeing the pristine scenery of the 17th century, this bit of vegetation on Hong Kong Island is really not worth wasting on their phone's memory. As for the SLR, not to mention, it's better to shoot some girls.

After hearing Lao Ma's nonsense, another middle-aged scribe wearing a straight dress, a square scarf on his head, and a cigarette between his fingers suddenly shouted, "Old Ma, this is what you said, everyone is witnessing today, and this land will be given priority to you at that time!" ”

It was Ding Liqiu who spoke. This gentleman was originally in Fujian as the master of the General's Mansion, and also commanded the suppression of bandits in Longyan County. This time to open up Guangdong, Ding Liqiu naturally became the general spokesperson of the General's Mansion in business; In the plan, he will be stationed in Guangzhou City to preside over the overall situation, and the location is very important.

Hearing Ding Liqiu speak, Ma Yue, who was still angry just now, suddenly withered, "That's what Situ Haonan said, it has nothing to do with me!" ”

A group of people at the bow of the boat burst into laughter

In the old time and space, Hong Kong was first a colony, and then because of the two opposing camps of the East and the West, the bridgehead was squeezed into a highly condensed and deformed city.

However, in the plane of the Travelers, there is no unique historical opportunity, and Hong Kong Island is just an ordinary island with a very low level of attention after all—no Travelers will give up their share of land in the metropolis and develop it instead.

After passing through Hong Kong Island, the fleet soon passed through the narrow water gate. At this moment, the sea is calm and calm, and the majestic Jishuimen Bridge and Tsing Ma Bridge are completely gone.

After the water gate, it is the trumpet-shaped Pearl River estuary. According to the plan, the fleet now needs to go around the mouth of the Pearl River to greet the surrounding forces. So Wang Bo ordered the fleet to reduce its speed, raise the alert level, and pay attention to searching for abnormal situations.

The flotilla, which slowed down slightly and took a zigzag route, sailed through Shenzhen Bay in the early afternoon. Just when the lookout on the mast could already see Longxue Island at the narrow mouth of the Pearl River, news came from the frigate "Green Island" at the head of the fleet that the pirates had been discovered.

Second Master Ge will not be in a good mood.

As the small leader of the lineage under the command of Shopkeeper Liu, this is the third time he has led a team to the Pearl River Estuary to pump water. Thinking about the waste wood that has never been fattened so far, he should theoretically be elated. However, after calculating the harvest in today's cabin, Second Master Ge's mood suddenly became extremely bad.

Standing on the bow of his big bird boat, he reached into the crotch of his pants and scratched a few itches, his face was rusty, and the yellow tooth of the second master couldn't help but stretch his neck towards the Pearl River. He now desperately hopes that a few more merchant ships will come down from the upper reaches.

"Damn, the fat fish is less than one day a day, and this realm can't stay."

In stark contrast to the previous card pumping, the merchant ships coming down from the upper reaches of the Pearl River have become increasingly scarce in recent times. Even the change in the way pirates "generate income" from robbery to pumping did not stop the trend of a significant decline in merchant ships.

Glancing at the fishing boats dotted on the nearby river, Second Master Ge was preoccupied.

According to his life experience as a thirty-five-year-old pirate, since the big gang has been generating income at a high intensity in the Pearl River Estuary for several months, it is time to decisively withdraw and stay any longer.

However, Shopkeeper Liu did not mean to transfer with everyone for a long time.

As a descendant, Second Master Ge knows a thing or two about the predicament of the big shopkeeper. The Yizhou thieves who killed pirates like horses have now blocked the sea route of Chaoshan, and everyone can't go to Fujian as usual.

However, Ge Erye's news channel ended here, and a small shopkeeper couldn't think strategically like Liu Xiang himself. The second master just instinctively felt that if he continued to stay in Guangzhou, the situation would be a little bad.

"Well, let's go to the west."

After pondering for a while, Second Master Ge shook his head and came to his senses. The next moment he shouted loudly at the helmsman at the stern, and by the way, he asked the flag-bearer to give flags to the other four clippers in the vicinity.

So the five ships on the east bank of the Pearl River began to cross the bow, and the destination was the west bank—Ge Erye planned to try his luck on the west bank, hoping to intercept some merchant ships smuggled south from Xiangshan County.

Just as the fleet sailed through the middle line of the Pearl River, a shout came from the lookout on the mast, "Shopkeeper, there is a fat sheep!" ”

"Huh!? Finally Fattening Sheep? Second Master Ge shook his voice when he heard this. I saw him jump up the stern with agility and look north.

"The shopkeeper's mistake, it's the south!" The guy in Wangdou shouted again at this time.

The second master turned his head when he heard the sound, and then he saw the top of a mast gradually revealing in the sky.

"What a pair of sharp eyes, boy, wait for the reward!" Ge Erye raised his head and praised the young man in Wangdou is a local, a newcomer to the Pirate Gang, and his work enthusiasm is very high.

Considering that the ship coming on the opposite side was downwind, and several of his own ships were crosswind, the second master immediately made a decision and ordered all the ships to continue to turn, preparing to make a circle on the ocean surface, and just intercept the incoming ship.

However, the next moment, the guy shouted again: "Shopkeeper, there are a lot of fat sheep!" ”

"Huh!?" The second master was shocked.

And when he jumped on the stern again, put his hand on the pergola and took a closer look, a cold air passed from the tail bone of the second master to the top door, and only two minutes passed, and the masts changed from one to a row. What frightened the second master the most was that he saw a little white reflection on the mast, which was a soft sail!

"Idiot! Is there such a fat sheep? "Second Master Ge will be eager to gouge out the eyes of that fool in Wangdou - any ship with soft sails on the surface of the East Asian Ocean is not something that Second Master Ge dares to touch, not to mention that there is not one on the other side.

At the same time, the surrounding ships also began to wave the flag of danger, and the old pirate in the lookout realized that something was wrong.

"Turn the rudder, turn the rudder, go west!" The second master hurriedly opened his mouth and shouted at this time, and even his voice changed tone in a panic. At this time, what bullshit pumping is not considered at all, and it is only right to hide to the west to make way for the fairway.

However, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and the string of masts on the opposite side also changed course slightly at this time, and rushed straight towards the pirates. At the same time, the surrounding pirate ships also signaled the extreme danger.

Second Master Ge really had the heart to slaughter the fool above his head now, and the lookout posts on the ships around him must have found something he couldn't see.

The next moment, Ge Erye, who was hugging the mast, was arrested. He suddenly remembered that the current location of his fleet was at the mouth of the Pearl River, 40 miles north of Macao, and neither the Fur Men of Trench Mirror Ao nor the rest of the Semu people had ever made a move here - this would anger the Ming government.

Even if the Francophile went to Guangzhou City once a year to order goods, it was also on the Guangzhou Ship Fu Boat, and the plywood boat with soft sails would never go deep into the Pearl River Estuary.

Thinking of this, Second Master Ge's snot and tears flowed out at the same time, he knew where the opposite side was sacred, "Surrender the flag, quickly surrender the flag!" Flag flowers, scatter and flee for your life, scatter and flee for your life"

In the frantic sea breeze, Second Master Ge held the mast and shouted frantically with all his might.

And in his pupils, which had grown larger and larger with fright, a string of strange log-colored ships with faint black smoke and soft white sails were rushing towards him at a gallop.
