In the sea less than fifty miles from Tuen Mun, there is a desert island.

The desert island is small, about a mile in radius, the island is overgrown with trees, and there is even a small freshwater pond, and occasionally boats that know about this place pass by, and even replenish fresh water here.

It's just that in the last two years, there have been fewer ships coming here to replenish fresh water, and even seeing this deserted island from afar, they have walked around.

Because the people who often haunt this route now know that there is a group of extremely vicious pirates who occupy this desert island.

Interestingly, these pirates occupied this desert island, but they rarely used the ships that passed by, except for a few really unlucky unlucky ones who crashed into their hands, they were much more interested in robbing the Ming coast than in plundering at sea.

Outsiders don't know what the reason is, but Nohara Shinnosuke knows, as far as his two ships take the initiative to plunder the merchant ships at sea, I am afraid that in less than half a year, they will either be sunk by the armed merchant ships of the Southern Barbarians, or they will be sieved by the sailors of the Ming Dynasty, who will do such a risky thing? By the way, by the way, in Nohara Shinnosuke's hometown, all the blonde and blue-eyed guys that the Ming called Yi people were called Nanbarians by them.

Robbing coastal fishing villages or towns, as long as they don't kill too many people, one vote is enough for them to get away with it for half a year, as the leader of the pirates, of course he knows how to choose.

Now the pirates are getting harder and harder!

Sitting under the tree, looking at the sea in the distance, Nohara Shinnosuke wailed in his heart, if firearms were not so popular, this would not be the world of their sons on the sea, but unfortunately, now firearms are in the hands of the Southern Barbarians and the hands of the Ming people, as if they are not worth much, once there is a battle, they are proficient in martial arts, they can't get close to the body of other people's ships at all, like those ships that surrounded each other in the past, and then jumped to help the past to fight, in the current world, there is no difference from looking for death.

Last time, I looted a fishing village, and the things I looted were almost exhausted, if it weren't for the fact that the sailors of the Ming Dynasty had been wandering around the nearby waters recently, Nohara Shinnosuke would have considered finding a target for himself right now.

"To Goryeo?" The business here is getting more and more difficult to do, last time I heard that someone was on the side of Goryeo, made a fortune, and directly laid down a city after going ashore, of course, saying that the city was captured by force, Nohara Shinnosuke didn't believe it, he would rather the Koreans be scared away, but, that's also amazing, a whole city, not to mention gold and silver, it's the goods that those shops didn't have time to take away, it's a huge wealth.

He was a little jealous of his colleague who had gone to Korea, but then he heard that the unlucky fellow had met the fleet of the Nanbans, and before he could enjoy the fruits of his victory, he became a ghost at the bottom of the sea.

Thinking of this, he had a much better balance in his heart, those guys, they just wandered around Nagasaki on weekdays, and they didn't know how arrogant and powerful the Southern Barbarians were, so it would be good to let them learn some lessons. Anyway, if there is really no way, he doesn't want to touch this mold.

"There's a boat!"

The sentry's loud shouts interrupted Nohara Shinnosuke's musings, and he scrambled up from the ground and ran towards the high stones.

In the distance, between the sea and the sky, a sail shadow slowly appeared, and he stared into the distance with wide eyes, trying to judge the origin of the ship, which was very important to him after two years on a desert island.

It's an ordinary merchant ship, it doesn't matter, there are even stupid people who will come to this island to throw a net, if it's a sailor of the Ming Dynasty, then you have to run away, but the sailors of the Ming Dynasty are generally dispatched by several ships together, and they dispatch very regularly, three or two times a month is already very good, the last time they cruised from the vicinity, it was only three or two days, and it should not appear again so soon.

If it is the merchant ships of the Nanban, then there is basically no need to worry, those Nanban people go to sea, both food and fresh water are enough, do not have to worry about the problem of supply, and, many years of experience at sea tell Nohara Shinnosuke, if it is not for the eyes to provoke them or it seems that their ships are extraordinarily oily, the merchant ships of the Nanban are basically in the coastal waters of the Ming Dynasty, ignoring all fleets, except for the Ming sailors.

"It's a merchant ship of the Southern Barbarians!"

The sentry shouted loudly, the outline of the ship was already faintly visible, and the exceptionally distinctive sails had already proved the identity of the ship, Nohara Shinnosuke snorted, and walked down stupidly: "Keep an eye on it, the ship of the Southern Barbarians, there is nothing to be afraid of!" ”

His men in the camp were also alarmed a lot by the sentries, Nohara Shinnosuke waved his hand, and when he saw the boss making a gesture that it was okay, these guys lazily went back to their shacks, where there were a few looted women, which was their only entertainment on this island, and when they were fine, everyone had to have fun.

"Adult"!

Not long after he sat down, the sentry shouted again, and Shinnosuke Nohara was a little annoyed, this sentry is too eyeless, it's too much of a fuss, let Xiao Zhulang do it next time.

"What's the name of the ghost?"

"My lord, the ship of the Southern Barbarians is coming towards us!" The sentry shouted, his face a little panicked.

Nohara Shinnosuke stared at the sea with wide eyes, something that had never happened before, the merchant ship of the Southern Barbarians actually came directly towards the desert island, and at this time, he estimated that with the big ship he hid behind, even if he called everyone on the ship and set sail without delay for a moment, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the pursuit of the other party.

If the wind is downwind, how fast the Nanban's ship can go, he knows, the problem is, damn it, it's the tailwind now.

"Come out and come out, be on guard!" He shouted angrily, no matter what, this southern barbarian may be passing by, or maybe he is coming at them, be careful.

Dozens of pirates ran out of the shack in a panic, looking for their weapons, and gathered around Nohara Shinnosuke in a panic, and then, one by one, they looked at each other as the Nanban merchant ships approached the deserted island.

"It's okay, boss, they don't know how powerful the reef is around here, and the big ships can't get in!" A pirate with big yellow teeth said.

"You crow's mouth!" Nohara Shinnosuke kicked this guy away, yes, the big ship can't get in, but I didn't see the big boat stop, let out a few small boats, and came towards the desert island, these guys around him, some of them are still armed with bamboo guns, can they resist the attack of those guys who don't have the right money for firearms?

Several small boats approached the shore, and down came a group of Nanban people with muskets, and Shinnosuke Nohara led his men, carefully hiding in the woods, watching the movements of these people.

A middle-aged Southern barbarian with a beautiful beard on his chin stepped out of the crowd of soldiers and frowned at the messy shacks in front of the woods.

The soldiers behind him rushed forward and quickly and cautiously searched the shacks, but they found nothing but a few naked women.
