"Are you afraid when you fight?" asked Zhu Shou worriedly.

"At that time, I was young, I didn't know how to be afraid, my father didn't have a son, and we could only share it for my father. When you grow up, you get used to it," Li Weier said with a soft sigh.

"The situation in Fujian and Guangdong is complicated by multi-ethnic and multi-ethnic groups. There are few people in the land, and in order to survive, they all practice martial arts from seventy years old to seven-year-old children. Each village is constantly fighting for water and land, and the big families that can stand on their feet have a bloody nature, maybe we are also affected by the blood of the family. The right to live has always been earned by ourselves, and the scale of our Li family today has been fought by generations of ancestors, and we are no exception. Li Weier continued.

"Although I don't live in such an environment of swords and swords, I also have a sense of kinship, and I myself am not the same, I almost died several times in my childhood," Zhu Shou said.

"My family has also gained a foothold on the sea through the efforts of several generations, and there is little land in the plum blossom dock, and with the reproduction of the clan, the population is increasing day by day. If you want to develop, you can only rely on workshops and sea trade. My third and fourth grandfathers had just started to go to the sea. At that time, the family only had a fortune boat, and they did not dare to go too far, but only transported homespun cloth and vegetable oil to Ryukyu, where they were exchanged for sulfur and transported to Guangzhou to sell to the Gunpowder Bureau, and then brought back white sugar from Guangzhou. Li Weier said.

"Isn't this the triangular route that my brother said, taking one trip like this is equivalent to earning three money." Zhu Shou said in amazement.

"On the surface, this is the case, but you can't make this money with peace of mind, you have been at sea seven times out of ten, but as long as you succeed once, you can earn back ten times. The men of the clan led the landless newborn population on both sides of Meixi to go to the sea in batches. At that time, Wang Bengu, the governor of Zhejiang, did not understand the situation at sea at all, deceived and killed Wang Zhi, and as a result, Hu Zongxian fell into injustice, and ten years of hard work were wasted, and the southeast pirates were not restrained, and the chaos lasted for more than ten years, until the Qi family army finally eliminated the Japanese invaders, and our family began to go to sea at that time. These orphans are still in the Taohuawu of their own family, and they are raised by the clan. Rely on the courage to keep this triangular trade route. After the death of my fourth uncle in battle, my father took over the business at sea at the age of sixteen. ”

"Ling Zun is really a young hero," Zhu Shou said with emotion.

"When we were thirteen years old, my father took us and the sixty-four ships of the clan and 1,500 sons to raid the Mazasu bandits in the Kingdom of Tongdu, north of Manila, and completely eliminated them. It was the first time that our sisters went into battle, one left and one right wearing armor and holding Miao/knife to protect Daddy, and that time too many people died, and one of the leaders was cut into four pieces by us diagonally with Miao/knife, and the internal organs flowed to the ground, and we vomited all over the place after the war. Since then, on the route from Nanao Island to Luzon, no bandits have dared to directly rob a ship flying the flag of Meihuawu. This line has taken three generations and spent decades, which can bring more than 30,000 taels of income to the family every year and solve the employment of more than 1,000 people. ”

"The Li family is just a small clan in Han Jiang, in order to expand the space for survival, they have to work so hard, aren't those big clans even more desperate." Zhu Shou sighed.

"Are you still in charge of your family's business at sea, and do you still want to fight at sea?" asked Zhu Shou with concern.

"In the future, we won't go to the sea again, after all, we are girls, and we have reached the age of getting married, and now that my younger brother is only sixteen years old, isn't he already on top of the top like my father. He is the young head of the family, and in the future, his father will help him handle the affairs at sea. We helped our family solve a big problem last year and opened up the route to Malacca City, and now we are quitting to marry with peace of mind, which is worthy of the family's nurturing grace. Li Weier said.

"Were you still fighting last year, tell me about it" Zhu Shou asked curiously, the story on the sea was thrilling and exciting, making him feel a sense of blood boiling.

A hundred years ago, the Annam people wiped out the Champa in the Mekong Delta, and the Cham people fled to the Strait of Malacca, known as the Acehnese people, who prospered and occupied Sumatra, Malaya and Sarawak. A hundred years ago, the Portuguese state of the Franco-Rang people occupied the city of Malacca, and many sultanates in the southern part of the Malay Peninsula fought for the right to trade in the Strait of Malacca for a hundred years. Our ships were always attacked by Muslim Acehnese. Last year, we joined forces with several other maritime forces to attack the Acehnese who were trying to take control of the Straits and seized Temasek, and the Portuguese granted us the permission of the Lee family to set up shop and do business in Malacca. It was the center of trade between Tianzhu and the Ming Dynasty, Korea, and the Japanese Kingdom, and it was very prosperous, and if this line was opened, the prosperity of my Li family in the next twenty or thirty years would be guaranteed. ”

"This was my sister's last battle, and the worst fight. The swords of the Acehnese and Malayans are very good, they are all made of meteoric iron, and they are as famous as the Damascus scimitar, and the leather armor cannot be guarded, and the iron armor cannot be worn. Li Yue'er said.

"Why can't you wear iron armor?" asked Zhu Shou puzzled.

"Because naval warfare is mainly the use of artillery and firearms, bows and arrows, bed crossbows from a distance, in and out is to use a rope with an iron hook to fix the two boats, and then jump to the gang to slash, when the two boats in the waves up and down staggered, if you are not careful, you will be caught by the side of the ship into a meatloaf, and will fall into the sea, if you wear iron armor, you will sink and drown in an instant, and you can't float at all. So the men are shirtless, with knives in their mouths, swinging from the mast with ropes, and can swim if they fall into the sea. ”

"We slaughtered from head to tail from the flagship ship of the Acehnese, and the seedlings/knives were cut off, and the goose feathers were cut into saws. We both swung our flails at them, breaking their knives and their shields. Smash the mast off. In the end, they finally hacked their general and flagship captain to death. The rest surrendered. In the end, Temasek Island was snatched over. After the battle, his sleeves were filled with blood. Li Yue'er said calmly.

Zhu Shou was stupid when he heard it, feeling that he was a flower in a greenhouse, and compared to these two girls, it was simply outrageously happy. Looking at the two ladies on the opposite side, they are gentle, demure and dignified, and have a good face, calmly sipping mellow cat coffee (every time I hear this name, Zhu Shou gets goosebumps, such delicious coffee, I don't know why my brother has such a disgusting name). Speaking of such a ferocious fight, it is like narrating the shortcomings of the parents, calmly. Hacking a general to death as if at will was like drinking a cup of tea.

He looked fascinated at the two identical delicate faces opposite, with perfect cheek curves and large watery eyes, full of classical beauty and an indescribable nobility. He suddenly remembered what Li Jing said, a person's beauty comes from a free soul, a person cannot dominate himself must be dominated by others, and a person's true nobility is the nobility of personality.

Zhu Shou raised his head, and on the heads of Li Weier and Li Yue'er, a pair of central halls came into view, and the writing was very ordinary, far from being called calligraphy. But it is very familiar, it is Li Jing's words, "There is a tiger in the heart, sniffing the rose"
