Chapter 63: Li Dan
Finally, the two boats came together, Zhang Qianfang held a long knife in his hand, jumped over directly, and followed by the first team of long knives. With a flash of his sword, Zhang Qianfang directly cut the pirate in front of him into two pieces, deterring the other pirates, and his own side was greatly boosted and rushed forward to kill together.
Zhang Qianfang's carefully selected companions in the Beijing camp are all people who are proficient in water and strong in martial arts. And the clothes are all wearing refined armor, the long knife is also a high-end product of the War Bureau, and the fire gun is also a flintlock fire gun developed by Sun Yuanhua, the equipment is much stronger than others, and the martial arts and discipline are stronger than the pirates, the only thing that is a little worse is that he is not familiar with naval warfare, so the battle ended quickly.
Yang Dali did not die, he ordered the ships to be counted, the first boat was ten dead and seven wounded, the second boat was eight dead and five wounded, and Zhang Qianfang's boat was only two wounded, still lightly injured. Yang Dali was angry and killed the people on the enemy ship. Zhang Qianfang couldn't stop him, so he had to let him vent.
At this time, the rear ship had followed, and the crew was redeployed, and finally the dead were to be buried, and only sea burials could be carried out on the water.
Zhang Qianfang shouted: "A man's husband, what is the sad spring and autumn daughter, dying in the sea, is also the glory of my generation." “
Shen Congjing also said: "We will get more powerful weapons and equipment, as long as everyone works hard, we can also break new ground on the sea, pirates are just chickens and dogs." “
It was just the first time for everyone to fight at sea, and they were a little uncomfortable, and then they were afraid that they would die and not be buried in the ground. Now that I think about it, in fact, there is nothing wrong, isn't there only two minor injuries on my ship? So everyone was a little more energetic.
Yang Dali was greatly admired by the combat strength of Zhang Qianfang's ship, and ordered them to walk in fourth place, adding the newly captured pirate ship in front, and a group of seven ships headed for Nagasaki.
Yang Tiansheng has a special person to receive goods in Nagasaki, so as soon as the ship arrives at the port, someone will receive it, Yang Dali asked Zhang Qianfang: "What is your ship loaded on?" “
"Copper, we just need copper." Zhang Qianfang replied.
"The profit of copper bars is not very high, don't you bring something else back? Elephant knives are very good. “
"Thank you, Brother Strong, let's buy a few handfuls to play with when we go shopping by ourselves, and the goods are still as long as copper bars." Taisun said that it was okay, and the copper strips were transported back and sold to the War Bureau, and the other things were useless.
Yang Dali said: "Okay, pay attention when you go to play above, try not to provoke the Ming people above, as for the Japanese, there is no problem." “
Zhang Qianfang asked strangely: "Brother Dali, why are there no problems with the Japanese?" Can't Mingren be messed with? “
Yang Dali smiled proudly: "Young Master Cousin is here for the first time, it is natural to not know, Mingren, you don't know who he is backstage, I am afraid that there will be trouble if you provoke it, and if you provoke the Japanese, you can give some money at most." “
Zhang Qianfang took Zhang Lijie and half of the crew to the shore, and everyone went to the Japanese knife shop first, because they wanted to see how the Japanese knife was better than their own long knife. Everyone tried it once in the store, some felt that it was easier than the long knife, and some felt that they didn't like it very much, so Zhang Qianfang bought one for those who thought it was good, and after buying it, everyone came out of the store, and a widow stepped forward and asked: "People from the kingdom, are you willing to enjoy the song and dance in a small place?" “
Yang Dali said, this is actually a Japanese prostitute, the price is not expensive and very obedient, Zhang Qianfang said to everyone: "Who is interested in trying the game of the Japanese country, sign up yourself, Lao Tzu will pay for you." “
Everyone was a soldier, but they didn't expect that they could prostitute themselves at public expense, and some people were eager to try, while others were not interested, but no one signed up.
Zhang Qianfang knew that it was impossible to run the sea outside and not touch women, but the first time he might be a little thin-skinned, then don't blame himself, so he walked around for a while, and after eating a meal, he went back to replace Shen Congjing and them.
Although this trip did not go well, Zhang Qianfang did not lose anything, after coming back, Yang Tiansheng listened to Yang Dali's report, and was very interested in their equipment and weapons, and wanted Zhang Qianfang to get him dozens of new firearms.
Zhang Qianfang couldn't call the shots, so he reported to Taisun through his contacts in Quanzhou, and Zhu Youxiao approved that he could sell 100 flint torches to Yang Tiansheng, but gunpowder and bullets could only be used 50 times each, so that even if something went wrong, there would be no fixed ammunition and it would not cause great harm.
Although Yang Tiansheng paid a lot of money in this transaction, it greatly improved the combat effectiveness of his ship, and also made him look down on His Royal Highness Taisun, and then paid more attention to Zhang Qianfang.
Soon the country changed greatly, and the grandson became the emperor, which made Yang Tiansheng marvel at his nephew's luck, which also made him pay more attention to Zhang Qianfang. On this day, he told Zhang Qianfang that he was going to take him to Japan once and introduce him to his two friends.
This trip is a total of ten boats, Yang Tiansheng got the flint firecracker, his strength increased greatly, not only others can't rob him, he also often robs others, and Zhang Qianfang also bought a boat because of the robbery, so now he has two boats.
After arriving in Nagasaki, Yang Tiansheng took Zhang Qianfang to visit Li Dan, a famous shipowner and a native of Quanzhou. Zhang Qianfang remembered that the grandson, oh, now the emperor used to say this name, so when Yang Tiansheng introduced Li Dan to him, he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "I have heard the name for a long time, and it is really a blessing to meet you today." “
As Yang Tiansheng's junior, it is reasonable for him to make a big salute, but when Li Dan heard the words of the name for a long time, he glanced at Yang Tiansheng and asked suspiciously: "Where did the little brother of the Zhang family hear my name?" “
Zhang Qianfang replied: "The junior once served as an officer in the Beijing camp, and once met a big man, and told the junior about the deeds of Senior Li, and said that if I have the opportunity, I want to ask the senior for advice." “
Li Dan looked at Yang Tiansheng again, and Yang Tiansheng whispered when he approached: "My nephew seems to have some relationship in the Jingshi, and I don't know the specifics. “
Li Dan personally helped Zhang Qianfang up and said: "I am close friends with Uncle Ling, you are the same as my nephew, don't be separated." If you have anything in the future, just come to me. “
Zhang Qianfang obediently agreed, everyone gossiped, and Yang Tiansheng took Zhang Qianfang to leave. On the way, he told Zhang Qianfang: "Your official backstage, you don't need to let him know, it's just vague, and he will sometimes beg to come to you." “
