Chapter 57: Preparation

Three days later.

Wang Youzhen took ten villagers to Heidao.

During these three days, all kinds of preparations were made.

In particular, Wang Yanren set up a line of the general flag of the sailor through the owner of the shop.

Spent a hundred taels of silver to hire this sailor to protect Wang Youzhen to go to Heidao.

Wang Youzhen stood on the deck of the small fortune ship under the command of the chief flag of the sailor, also known as the Cangshan boat, looking at the vast sea where the waves were rolling.

I have to sigh with emotion, this one hundred taels of silver is really not in vain.

The sea boat at Wang Youzhen's feet was a small fortune boat, and the draft had reached five feet, about one meter and six meters deep.

Armed with two jack franc cannons.

There are three bowls and four guns.

There were forty spray cans, sixty chimneys, thirty fire bricks, one hundred rockets, four medicine crossbows, and one hundred crossbow arrows.

There are a total of 37 people on the ship, including 4 shipwrights, 33 sailors, and 3 first-class sailors.

The first armor is a franc machine and a bird gun, the third armor is a firearm, and the second armor is a cold weapon.

With this group of nearly fifty sailor guards, Wang Youzhen has a lot of confidence in his heart.

The only pity is that this fifty-man sailor can't follow them to Heidao, and they have to be put down five or six miles away from Heidao.

Sitting on a light eagle boat, it was just enough to accommodate a dozen people, and let Wang Youzhen and the others go to Heidao by themselves.

Wang Youzhen also saw the strength of the Black Island Haikou from this incident, and even the sailors of the Thousand Households Institute were afraid of three points.

With the current level of corruption among the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, as long as they dare to send them to Heidao, they will definitely add another hundred taels of silver.

Silver is definitely not as important as life for Wang Youzhen.

The second uncle, Wang Yanren, had already personally said that he would add silver, and even increased the silver to two hundred and ten taels.

The chief flag of the sailor was greedy for silver, and he still refused to let go and escorted Wang Youzhen and others to Heidao.

Black Island is about ninety-six nautical miles from the mouth of the glue.

The average speed of the ship is about three or four knots, and it only takes more than a day to reach Black Island.

In this process, due to wind and waves, heavy rain and torrential rain often occur in the ocean, which delayed some time.

It took three days to go from the mouth of the glue to the sea near Kuroshima.

Wang Youzhen has his own uniqueness in terms of human sophistication, and after a few days of contact, he has become very familiar with the general flag of the sailor.

Wang Youzhen stood on the deck as usual, looking at the sea where a small black dot had appeared in the distance.

The general flag of the sailor came over with a small pot of wine and patted Wang Youzhen on the shoulder: "Don't blame this general banner, this is also something that cannot be helped." ”

"Although there are only a few hundred pirates on the black island, this pirate is only one of the many treasurers."

"The real owner behind the Black Island Haikou is the Eighteen Zhi that crisscrosses the southeast coast."

The difference in status between the general banner of the sailor and Wang Youzhen can be described as a world of difference.

One is an official of the imperial court, and the other is a mud leg in the countryside.

But he can sincerely say words with a hint of apology, which is enough to see Wang Youzhen's ability in terms of human feelings.

It turned out to be able to make the general flag of the sailor feel a little guilty.

Wang Youzhen took a coarse porcelain wine bowl in the hand of the chief flag of the water master, and drank the wine in the wine bowl in one gulp: "Don't worry, the boy's life is longer than anyone else." ”

"As long as I don't want to die, no one can take my life."

The fact that the chief flag of the sailor was able to say this was already regarded as a parting gift.

He has been dealing with these pirates all year round, especially with the Black Island pirates, and he knows very well that Wang Youzhen has no way to survive this trip.

The chief flag of the sailor also drank a bowl of wine while standing on the deck, which was regarded as a send-off for Wang Youzhen.

With a wave of his hand, he asked one of his sailors to lower the eagle boat.

Wang Youzhen led ten villagers along a thick cable and slowly climbed to the eagle boat.

In this process, even if the sailors on the small Fu boat knew that they were ninth-rate merchants, they couldn't help but have a little more respect in their eyes.

can do business to this point, to the point of dying, and even dare to run to the Black Island Haikou to do business.

No matter what the identity of the other party is, it is worthy of admiration.

The Black Island Bandit is not a Koukou in the ordinary sense, it is a demon who dares to eat people.

Wang Youzhen stood firm on the light eagle boat, and his body still swayed involuntarily due to the rolling waves on the sea.

After a few days of sailing, Wang Youzhen got used to this kind of shaking and glanced up at the sky.

Clear blue sky.

Endless sea.

Only by standing on the sea level can you experience the magnificence of the sky and the sea.

Wang Youzhen's heart couldn't help but feel a lot bigger, waved his hand vigorously, and laughed: "Let's go." ”

With this shout, the ten villagers picked up the oars in their hands and began to row hard.

It didn't take long for the action of the water flow and the vigorous paddling of more than ten villagers.

In the eyes of the chief flag of the sailors and the sailors, the eagle boat gradually turned into a small black dot.

Until it completely disappears into the sea.
