Zhen Qian's current thoughts are not on the words of Shaoer Dongshang, whether Fujiwara Nakamaro wants to invade the Silla Kingdom, or wants to overthrow the Emperor of the Japanese Kingdom and seek to usurp the throne, these will only be beneficial to himself, and if necessary, he may even add fuel to the fire and give him a ride.

"Zhen Lang, you said that after we leave, will the Nine Ghosts Jialong sit and wait on Iwo Jion Island?"

Wang Tianxing wanted to station a team of men and horses on Iwo Huang Island, but was vetoed by Zhen Qian, the combat power of the trapped beast Yu Dou was not at all something that more than 300 people could resist, especially on Iwo Huang Island, it was better to come and let the pirates trapped on the island fight first.

"Probably not!" Zhen Qian didn't believe that Nine Ghost Jialong was capable of this, and said that the three holes of the cunning rabbit, Nine Ghost Jialong should have thought about the current predicament, maybe there was a ship hiding somewhere on the island that could escape the predicament, and after he was ready to send Shao Er Dongshang away, he would have a good game of cat and mouse with Nine Ghost Jialong?

After staying in the sea off Iwo Ji for one night, when he approached Iwo Ji again the next day, he found that there were already some pirates on the island, but Zhen Qian ignored these pirates, and after those pirates saw Zhen Qian's ship, they also fled back to the cave as soon as possible, and abandoned some rafts made of rotten wood on the beach, which were ordered by Zhen Qian to be burned down.

"Zhen Jiu! Leave you two pirate ships to blockade Iwo Jima, don't go to the island to fight the pirates head-on, our purpose is to trap the pirates on the island? ”

Zhen Jiu responded to his promise, moved some of his weapons to the pirate ship, and stayed in the sea off Iwo Jima, waiting for Zhen Qian to meet here after sending Shao Er Dongshang back to Japan.

Two days later, Zhen Qian sent Shao Er Dongshang to the harbor of Xiang Riguo, Zhen Qian did not land, and he did not even dock at the wharf, but only used two small boats to send Shao Er Dongshang's family and personal soldiers ashore. No caution is too much at this time!

After waiting for Shao Er Dongshang on the open sea for a day, Shao Er Dongshang returned again, this time bringing 6,000 taels of gold, of which 1,000 taels was used as a deposit for the second batch of weapons, Zhen Qian very readily handed over all the weapons and equipment to Shao Er Dongshang according to the list finalized by the two before, and the two sides established a preliminary trust.

The transaction was smooth, the cooperation was pleasant, the process was simple, and after inspecting the weapons and gold, a satisfied smile appeared on the face of Shao Er Dongshang!

"Happy working together!"

"Don't know if we can see each other next time?" Zhen Qian sighed and sighed.

Shao Er Dongshang said generously: "Why can't you?" Didn't Zhen Lang want a few islands to live in seclusion? In the future, as long as it is an island under a certain rule, Zhen Lang will choose it by the way, why is it difficult? ”

"Is that true?"

"Zhen Lang thinks he cares about how many overseas desert islands?" Shao Er Dongshang didn't understand why Zhen Qian wanted a few uninhabited islands, there were thousands of such islands south of Saikaido alone, except for a few Japanese people who went to the islands to fish, the Japanese country had never sent people to these islands, since Zhen Qian wanted a few small islands, just give them to Zhen Qian.

"Then it's a word! Zhen of the Osumi Islands south of Osumi Province was settled first? ”

Zhen Qian couldn't help but get excited when he thought of Tanegashima and Yakushima in the future, these are two real big islands, the combined area is twice as large as the Wufeng Islands, especially the sulfur and saltpeter that are abundant on the islands, Zhen Qian scolded Shao Er Dongshang in his heart.

Sulfur and saltpeter are not absent in Datang, but the purity and yield are not as good as the quality of the Wa Kingdom, Zhen Qian desperately bought sulfur and saltpeter in Datang, but the quantity still could not meet his own needs, and the impact of his large-scale acquisition was also very large, the price of saltpeter alone in Hengzhou has risen by fifty percent, has reached the point where the supply exceeds demand, Zhen Qian knows very well that this can not last long, so he set his sights on the Wa State.

Of course, Shao Er Dongshang will not know why Zhen Qian is so excited, just a few small islands, just like Datang has never regarded Hainan Island as a thing, Zhen Qian believes that if he sends troops to occupy it, Datang will not react so violently.

Shao Er Dongshang left satisfied with weapons and equipment, and before leaving, he actually left his eldest daughter on the boat, saying that he was learning Tang song and dance with Qingyan?

Is this a hostage?

Zhen Qian did not ask Shao Erdong to leave any hostages, since Shao Erdong did not say anything, Zhen Qian only thought that there was one more person on the boat to eat, or one more person to accompany Qingyan to talk.

Two days later, Zhen Qian returned to Iwo Ji again, Zhen Jiu had already blocked six or seven waves of pirates who were about to flee from Iwo Ji Island in just five days, and it was unknown whether there were pirates who escaped under Zhen Jiu's nose.

"Let's start a clean-up operation against the pirates of the Osumi Islands!"

According to the information confessed by the pirate captives, there are more than 30 large and small pirates around the Osumi Islands, and the Nine Ghosts are only the big leaders of these pirates, and Zhen Qian is ready to eliminate the pirates from the Osumi Islands.

In the past few days, Zhen Jiu has roughly figured out the distribution of islands around the Osumi Islands, and is waiting for Zhen Qian to start the clean-up operation after he returns.

The clean-up operation was very smooth from the beginning, most of the pirate leaders were blocked by Zhen Qian on Iwo Jilu, and when Zhen Jiu led the ship to appear in the lair of other pirates, there were many pirate islands that were already empty, and some pirates saw Zhen Jiu, and thought it was a new group of pirates, and expressed their willingness to belong to Zhen Jiu, the pirate leader.

Zhen Qian stayed in the sea off Iwo Jima for six days, and during these six days, Zhen Jiu eliminated sixteen groups of pirates, the largest of which numbered no more than 400 pirates, including many captives captured by pirates.

Zhen Qian's fleet grew larger and larger, and more and more prisoners were rescued, and more than eight ships were captured from the pirates alone, which was the result of many small boats being burned.

It's time to sail back!

"Zhen Lang, this time I really made a fortune, the gold and silver seized alone reached more than 100,000 guan, one of which is five feet high, it can be sold for at least 10,000 guan in Datang, and there are more than 700 people who are willing to go back to the Wufeng Islands with us, but unfortunately most of them are women and children?"

This time to clean up the pirates, Zhen Qian did not let Zhen Jiu kill all the pirates, but only sank all the pirate leaders into the sea, and those shrimp soldiers and crab generals were all left behind, ready to be sent to the mine to dig ore for a lifetime.
