When I came to the outside world, I took out the chart and the water compass and compared them with each other, and Bai Sha roughly determined the location of the island, and then pinched a mark with my hand in the corresponding place of the chart, and engraved it deeply in my mind.

In order to arrive in Luzon as soon as possible, Baisha quickly left the island. It's just that what Bai Sha didn't know was that on the other side of the sea, Zheng Zhilong led the fleet to successfully arrive in Luzon......

What Bai Sha also didn't know was that his former self was so close to the truth of one thing, and that was the mystery of his true identity. Baisha has had many hardships along the way, but he has also met many nobles, first knowing that the old fish who brought him up is not an ordinary character, and then relying on the red stone to find the heart of the ocean, and finally encountering a Yin mole who has to accept himself as an apprentice, these are like pies falling from the sky, and they can always hit Baisha. Bai Sha didn't believe that he was a person who could have the same blessings as before, and he didn't have a face that was at the peak of his debut.

Since he was a child, Lao Yu would not mention Bai Sha's identity, and the reason why Yin Mo accepted Bai Sha as an apprentice should also be kept secret, Bai Sha, who had never seen his father and mother since he was a child, already had a slight premonition that his identity was special, but it was just a premonition.

In the hollow island, Bai Sha once met a person who looked exactly like the old fish, Bai Sha had already lifted the other party's bedding, if Bai Sha went further and found out what was in that person's arms, I am afraid that Bai Sha would find an envelope, which was full of many explosive secrets in this world, including Bai Sha's life experience. It was only one step away from Baisha that Baisha passed by these secrets......

On the voyage from the third supply point to Luzon, Zheng Zhilong did not encounter a sailing fleet in the same direction, which made Zheng Zhilong smell a bad feeling and approached Luzon with apprehension.

The final destination of the fleet was Luzon, and this was the first time Zheng Zhilong had arrived. Now you can see the largest port in Luzon from afar, and there are many ships docked on the edge of the harbor, even beyond the size of Quanzhou, the departure point.

The imperial court's attitude towards maritime trade was varied, sometimes suppressed, sometimes ambiguous, but there was no absolute support, so many of the fleets of Chinese maritime merchants docked elsewhere, so that the ports of the countries with the largest number of people at sea were smaller than those of Luzon in front of them.

At this moment, there are many people in the port of Luzon, there are familiar yellow-skinned people, there are also black-skinned, white-skinned and even brown people, most of these are Spaniards, and now Luzon is a Spanish colony, and most of the final goods of the fleet will pass through Li Dan's hands and be traded to the hands of the Spaniards again, this is the so-called trade, each taking what he needs.

The two largest forces in the land of Luzon are the forces headed by the Ming Dynasty, Li Dan is an out-and-out maritime thief, although he is a thorn in the side of the imperial court, but in Luzon Li Dan almost represents the power of the Ming Dynasty, after all, Luzon is also a former vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. Another big force was Spain, when Spain discovered gold mines in the land of Luzon, it soon became a Spanish colony, and even fought with the Ming court for some things.

Until the slow rise of the sea lord Li Dan, and in the hands of the Spaniards occupied a large area of land dominated by Luzon, and most of the Spanish forces gathered in Manila south of Luzon, the two forces penetrated each other, but in recent years there has been no excessive friction, everyone is a businessman, and the ultimate goal is to make a fortune.

The Spaniards recognized Li Dan's status very much, and affectionately called him "China Jiapitan", which means Chinese captain, Li Dan also believed in Catholicism, and took a Catholic parishioner, and the relationship between the two sides seemed to be quite harmonious on the surface.

The horn of the flotilla continued to sound, and the flotilla lowered anchor one after another, bringing the ships to a steady stop. Before the fleet docked, Li Xu's unique flag began to be displayed, and there were already people waiting on the shore.

After the handover work was completed, the fleet began to set up a template, and all the goods in the cabin were moved out to the warehouse at the wharf, as for the settlement of the silver money, it took a little time, all the goods needed to be counted, and then submitted to the top layers of approval and confirmation, so that they could take the silver change designated by the certificate, and after the successful payment, the transaction was really completed, and only needed to bring some needed goods along the way, Continue to set sail back to Quanzhou, and so on.

The fleet has a lot of cargo, and it can't be moved in a short time. Zheng Zhilong stood on the warship and waited quietly, Yin Mo didn't know when he came behind him, looking at the scene of the busy dock and sighing.

The docking of the fleet was smoother than Zheng Zhilong imagined, I thought that the fleet would encounter any twists and turns after landing, but I didn't expect it to be like a general procedure, so Zheng Zhilong had some differences, thinking that it would not be so quiet, and the docking personnel who came did not ask about the news of the previous captain Li Xu, and completely regarded Zheng Zhilong as the captain, as if they only cared about the cargo in their eyes.

The real undercurrent has not yet arrived, this is only the calm on the surface, although Zheng Zhilong is strange about the current calm, but he is extremely clear in his heart, as long as the treasure map is still on his body, this transaction will not be completed.

Two hours later, all the goods in the cabin were finally moved, and all Zheng Zhilong and his party had to do now was to wait, wait for the news of approval, and as for what would happen next, Zheng Zhilong didn't know.

Zheng Zhilong had previously handed over the fake treasure map and the Book of "Supreme Martial Dao" to Yin Mole, and now he was not in a hurry to ask the other party for it, these two things would be safer to temporarily store on Yin Mole's body.

Yin Mo looked at Zheng Zhilong, who was a little anxious, and said: "Don't worry too much, where is there a captain who is full of goods to trade with a sad face during the transaction, you can rest assured, the old man will stay on the ship temporarily until the kid Baisha returns." ”

Zheng Zhilong turned around and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you seniors for your protection, I can't repay it." ”

Yin Mo waved his hand and said, "I am satisfied that Baisha can come back, and I don't need anything in return." ”

Zheng Zhilong came to Luzon for the first time, and he was not familiar with the place, so he summoned the relatively familiar Da Biao and Du Ju and ordered them to temporarily manage the crew of the fleet, of course, Li Kuiqi and Niu Xiaohua were in charge of their original crew.

Yin Mo quipped in his spare time: "To have such guts, to disperse power to his subordinates, and even let Li Kuiqi and Niu Xiaohua take over the fleet again." Yes, you can have this kind of courage at a young age. ”

Zheng Zhilong blushed and said modestly: "The predecessors praised falsely, Da Biao and Du Ju are brothers of the family, and they can be trusted. As for Li Kuiqi and Niu Xiaohua, Bai Sha and I promised them that after arriving in Luzon, they could develop their own forces, although they were defeated subordinates, but later we existed in the form of an alliance. ”

Yin Mo smiled: "I know that you are also helpless, whoever let you be targeted by so many people as soon as you go to sea, it is difficult not to become the focus, you can only pursue the principle of being outside must first settle inside, and stabilize Li Kuiqi and Niu Xiaohua first, otherwise there is no chance to deal with the sudden situation outside." This is the game, how can it be smooth sailing in the matter of sailing. ”

Yin Mole's words hit the nail on the head, Zheng Zhilong and Bai Sha led this fleet through too many things along the way, and sometimes there was really a feeling of licking blood from a knife edge. Now that Baisha is not in the fleet, Zheng Zhilong always feels a little less stable.

The sky gradually darkened, and the fleet that docked today was different from other fleets, and when they first landed, they couldn't wait to go to Luzon to relax, but under the constraints, none of the crew members of the fleet disembarked without permission, and they all stayed quietly on board.

After dark, the lights on the dock came on, and a group of men rode to the shore and came to the fleet.

The person who came was Li Dan's right-hand man, Li Yao, who was in charge of collecting intelligence. Li Yao is also regarded as the task of the upper echelons in the structure of the entire Li Dan forces, if it is said that the ordinary fleet docking cannot alarm him, and the rare appearance here today means that there is something very heavy on the fleet, and he needs to come to dock in person.

Li Yao is still the same, wearing standard standard clothing, and the golden "Li" on his chest is shining with golden light, this identity is the biggest signboard in Luzon, and there is no need to report on boarding, and no one dares to stop him.

Li Yao seemed to know where Zheng Zhilong was, and stepped straight onto the warship where Zheng Zhilong was, and then stood on the deck and waited quietly.

Yin Mole was beside Zheng Zhilong, opened his sleepy eyes, and said lightly: "The guest has arrived." ”

Zheng Zhilong understood, got up and went out of the house and personally brought Li Yao to the room alone. The subordinates brought by Li Yao stayed on the deck, and Li Kuiqi and Niu Xiaohua did not appear. There was only one more person in the room, and that was Li Qiaoer.

Everyone knew that what was going to be talked about next was very important, and that no one could exist in the room.

Zheng Zhilong waited for Li Qiao'er to make tea and then hinted that the other party would leave, so that there were only three people left in the room.

Li Yao was still reluctant to speak, and for him, this old man of unknown origin should not appear here to comply with the rules.

Zheng Zhilong frowned imperceptibly, and explained: "This is my brother's master, and he is also my master, please don't mind, he can stay in the room." ”

The captain of this fleet is Zheng Zhilong, and he has the right to decide whether others will stay or not, but in the face of Li Yao, he still has to explain, and even everyone's right to stay should be Li Yao's final say.

Without Li Yao's consent, although Zheng Zhilong made a corresponding explanation, he still made the decision to let Yin Mo stay.

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Yao's mouth, and he didn't talk about Zheng Zhilong's behavior, but said, "Since the captain wants him to stay, let's stay." ”
