Among the dozen or so pirate leaders, the leader was a lean man with bronzed skin, although his figure was not as burly as the other leaders, but he was recognized by others by sitting in that position.

Under the candlelight, the lean man took a sip of wine and looked at everyone, "Our group of people are all living on the sea.

But in the past two years, everyone's life has been difficult, because of what, that is, the sailors of the Tang people surrounded and suppressed us everywhere, and we suffered heavy losses, so life is not easy. ”

"What's the solution, the Tang people's sailors are powerful, although we have many ships, we are just a group of rabble, how can we fight against the Tang people's sailors.

Moreover, the sailors of the Tang people are still stationed in Tamna, which threatens us even more. ”

As soon as the lean man's voice fell, someone complained.

It seems that in the past few years, the Datang Sailor has indeed tossed them enough.

The Datang Navy did not take the initiative to encircle and suppress them, but they escorted the Datang merchant ships that came and went, especially the merchant ships of several imperial merchants and those major families.

This is the most valuable batch of merchant ships, but as soon as the Datang sailors escort them, they can't grab them.

There have been many pirates who have tried it before, but they have all suffered heavy losses, and the prestige of the Tang Navy Master has spread.

"I know a piece of news that there will be a few ships from Jincheng to Datang in the next few days, and they are full of a lot of good things.

It is said that there are only two or three ordinary Tang Navy warships to follow, are you interested? If it can be intercepted, with those few merchant ships, everyone can live a prosperous life. ”

Hearing the lean man's words, many pirates were a little moved, but some people were not courageous.

"But what if we can't beat it? The warships of the Datang Land are all bigger than ours. Someone worried.

"What are you afraid of, we have so many ships, even if it is a siege, it is enough. If we can't beat it, it's a big deal to scatter and flee, and the sailors of the Tang Dynasty can't chase after so many boats, so we can always run out. But have you thought about it? If successful, those goods are worth a lot of money.

We are living on the edge of a knife, and if we don't have the guts, we might as well stop being pirates and go home to farm. ”

"Forget about farming, it's still pirates who make money quickly!"

"What are you afraid of, just go out and do it. It's just Boss Sun, is your news accurate? Don't all of us rush to the bottom! ”

"Surely it's accurate, can you still believe my character?"

"What if the Tang retaliates later?"

"If the Tang people retaliate, we will not be able to go ashore or plunder Japan."

For a while, everyone talked about it, but in the end they agreed to do this vote, after all, they were all pirates, and it was impossible not to plunder ships.

Anyway, there is a way out, and everyone is not afraid!

。。。。。。

"Uncle Guo, it's late at night, do you want to let those two Silla women come to serve Uncle Guo?"

In a relatively spacious and luxurious cabin, He Dong was playing Go with one of his men.

He Dong's technique is not very good, just to pass the boring time.

"Leave those two women alone, remember, whatever needs they have, try to meet them." He Dong thought of the two Silla royal daughters, and his heart was also itchy, but when he thought of something, he finally held back.

After the people left, the middle-aged man opposite He Dong was a little curious, "Since Uncle Guo asked Silla to offer these two royal women, those two are Uncle Guo's people, why Uncle Guo has been ignoring them." ”

He Dong shook his head and sighed, "If it were an ordinary woman, my uncle wouldn't care too much, but these two are the royal daughters of Silla."

If my uncle directly puts the two daughters into the house, and when I return to Chang'an, I don't know how many imperial histories will be included in my uncle's book.

Those are the two troubles. ”

The middle-aged man was puzzled, "Since it's troublesome, why does Uncle Guo want Silla to sacrifice two royal daughters?" ”

"You don't want to take a royal daughter from Silla in the palace?" He Dong asked rhetorically.

"Hey, hey." The middle-aged man smiled, "The little one wants to, but he also knows how many pounds and taels he has." ”

"It's incredible. Even if it is two ordinary royal daughters, if their uncle is not a national uncle, this is not a problem.

The two royal women were also Peugeot, and when they returned to Chang'an, they asked the people in the palace to teach them some court etiquette first. He Dong said.

"Uncle Guo wants to send these two people to the palace? What does the queen know about it? ”

"If you know, you know, it doesn't matter. These two women, without the nod of the saint, the uncle of the country would not dare to accept it. He Dong was also helpless.

In fact, he planned to give these two women, one to Li Ye, and the other to keep for himself.

He was just curious about the identity of this royal girl, just one.

At this moment, a subordinate steward walked in, came to He Dong, and said respectfully, "Uncle Guo! ”

He Dong raised his head and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The visitor immediately said, "Just now the sailor Wang Dudu sent someone to say that there may be a wind at sea tonight, the wind is high and the waves are urgent, and it is not safe to sail at night, and it is recommended that the fleet go to the port of Tsushima of the Japanese people to rest for one night, and then continue sailing after the strong wind will pass tomorrow." ”

He Dong pushed open the window and looked up at the sky, and sure enough, he saw a large dark cloud appearing from the sky, rushing towards their fleet at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He was not familiar with the sea, and he had never encountered this kind of weather when he went to Gyeongju before, so he was a little worried.

"Is this kind of weather a lot?" He Dong said curiously.

"Uncle Hui, this season is relatively rare, especially in summer. However, our ships are sturdy, and can sail even in such bad weather, but the royal governor is worried about accidents, so he recommends a night's rest at the shore. ”

"Why don't you go to the port of Silla?" He Dong said curiously.

"Uncle Return, there are many reefs on the Silla coast, and there are many pirates, so it is not safe. Most of the ships come and go in Tsushima Province, which is more convenient and safer. ”

He Dong nodded, "Since Wang Dudu thinks that he should rest on the shore, let's go to the shore." ”

After a while, a sailor crawled along the mast of the No. 2 Ning ship to the top chamber and waved the flag with a lantern.

As the No. 2 Ning ship took the lead and turned in the direction of the Japanese Tsushima Kingdom, the ships behind quickly followed, and more than a dozen ships of various types followed in a column.

In good weather, nature is spectacular, but in this kind of weather, it seems a little insignificant.

These merchant ships vary in size, but most of them belong to sand ships.

This kind of ship has a large carrying capacity and is suitable for commercial ships, and the ships on the Yangtze River and the Grand Canal are mainly sand boats.

Sand boats can also be used for sea voyages, but are more suitable for offshore sailing. However, the characteristics of the sand boat are also obvious, that is, slow speed and poor ability to break waves.

Historically, the Yuan Dynasty used sand boats to attack Japan, and who knew that it happened to encounter a storm and the whole army was wiped out.

Because the sand boat has poor adaptability to the weather with strong wind and waves, Wang Shimiao will let the fleet dock to rest.

The entire fleet was not far from Tsushima, only a dozen miles away. However, not long after the fleet changed course, the weather changed, and the whole sea was like boiling water, the sea water was rolling, the wind was surging, and even the merchant ship He Dong was riding was shaking violently.

However, the weather was still not as urgent as in the summer, so the entire fleet arrived in Tsushima safely, but it was a little troublesome to arrive at the port.

After finding a safe haven, Wang Shimiao ordered the entire fleet to drop anchor and stop sailing.

After the flotilla took refuge in a sheltered harbor, the storm came.

Feeling that the whole ship shook violently, He Dong's whole person trembled, and his face turned pale.

He has never experienced this kind of weather, even if it is a merchant ship under his feet, it seems to be huge, but in this weather, it is like a drop in the ocean, not worth mentioning.

Fortunately, the fleet found a safe haven and stopped, otherwise he would have to worry about whether he would return to Chang'an alive.

He Dong suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and when he wanted to vomit, his subordinates brought a spittoon...
