Chapter 115: The Sea Dragon King is coming
The unexpected fleet this time was the men and horses led by Wang Zhi, the leader of the Great Japanese Bandits.
Wang Zhi is ambitious, ruthless, and quite cunning.
He was able to smuggle from a small maritime merchant. In the end, he became the most famous and powerful Japanese leader on the sea, which should not be underestimated.
Although the ocean is vast, there are many pirates and pirates.
They occupy large and small islands in the sea and serve as nests.
The main livelihood of these pirates and pirates was to make a living by robbing passing merchant ships at sea and landing on the coast to harass the people of coastal cities, looting property, and capturing women.
Although the sea is vast, the shipping lanes for business are basically the same and fixed, so these pirates and pirates will often have conflicts of interest, annex each other, and go to war.
And Wang Zhi relied on his own means and ruthlessness, gradually encroaching on other pirates and pirates, and slowly became the most powerful force on the sea, known as the "Sea Dragon King".
After Wang Zhi's reputation gradually grew, some small pirates also took refuge under Wang Zhi's door one after another.
The little pirates that Aoki Jiro robbed last time were just under the Wangzhi Gate for a short time.
As a result, they were robbed by Aoki Jiro's group of pirates, and these real pirates used cruel methods to kill all the people on the island occupied by the small pirates.
This is naturally a big slap in the face for Wang Zhi, the Sea Dragon King who is now in full swing.
However, Wang Zhi's genius lies in the fact that he did not lead his subordinates to fight with Aoki Jiro.
First of all, he still hopes to be able to subdue Aoki Jiro's group of pirates and take them under his command.
For him, he lost a little brother, and if he could subdue a stronger younger brother, it would naturally be a good thing.
However, it is obvious that Aoki Jiro does not sell the face of this Sea Dragon King, and he thinks that they Fuso Wakou are superior to these Ming pirates, so he cut off the ear of the messenger sent by Wang Zhi and sent it back.
Therefore, Wang Zhicai was completely murderous towards Aoki Jiro.
Just a few days before Wang Zhi planned to exterminate Aoki Jiro, Wang Zhi heard that Aoki Jiro and others attacked Weihaiwei, robbed a large amount of property and captured more than 1,000 women, which made Wang Zhi even more accelerate the pace of completely exterminating Aoki Jiro.
Wang Zhi naturally had the intention of taking all the property and women stolen by Jiro Aoki as his own.
Therefore, after many days of preparation, Wang Zhi gathered a group of his younger brothers and came to Aoki Jiro's lair with sixty or seventy large and small ships.
In Wang Zhi's opinion, such a huge fleet, and the three or four thousand people on board, definitely have the strength to completely exterminate the Japanese of Aoki Jiro.
As far as he knew, Jiro Aoki had less than 2,000 Japanese soldiers and a dozen ships of various types.
As long as his ships surround the island, Jiro Aoki will be the turtle of Wengzhong, and there is nothing to be afraid of.
The purpose of Wang Zhi's battle is very clear, not only to completely kill Aoki Jiro and rob him of his captured property and women, but also to kill chickens and monkeys, so that other Japanese robbers on the sea who disobey him can take a good look at who is the real Sea Dragon King.
He never thought that when he wanted to kill Jiro Aoki as a chicken, he had already been used by others as a chicken to set an example for monkeys.
At the same time that the guard ship of the sailor discovered Wang Zhi's fleet, Wang Zhi's ship, which was walking in the front, also discovered the guard ship of the sailor.
However, because the distance was too far, and there was no special flag on the ship, they all thought it was a guard ship left by Jiro Aoki on the periphery, and they all dismissed it.
Wang Zhi just ordered the fleet to raise the sails and speed up.
Wang Zhi is elegant, handsome, and of medium stature.
If it weren't for the rough and dark skin of his long life at sea, and the fact that he had a long knife hanging from his waist that made him look a little strong, he would have looked more like a scholar.
If he didn't say it, no one would have thought that he would be the notorious pirate leader Sea Dragon King.
In fact, it is said that Wang Zhi also took the Xiucai exam when he was young, but later he was disheartened because of repeated failures. That's why he changed his career to become a smuggling maritime merchant, and finally became a sea dragon king of the Megatron Sea.
"Order the brothers to sail with full sails and speed up. Before the sun goes down, I'm going to treat my brothers on the island. ”
Wang stood on the deck, letting the sea breeze crack his robes, and said loudly.
When the pirates and pirates heard the leader's words, they all raised their weapons in their hands and cheered.
The Bannermen quickly conveyed Wang Zhi's order to the other ships.
The other ships on the island also cheered loudly, and the cheer made the king look proud.
The ships quickly hoisted their sails and began to accelerate towards their target island.
At this time, Wang Zhi did not expect that the opponent he was going to face in front of him was not the stupid, fierce and brutal Aoki Jiro, but a truly powerful regular sailor.
If he knew, he would have turned around and run away at this time.
Although he is ruthless, he is not stupid, on the contrary, he has a lot of brains.
If he was as stupid as Jiro Aoki, he wouldn't have known when he would have been fed fish, and he wouldn't have become the Sea Dragon King of the Megatron Sea at all.
"Lord Wang, there are a few small boats on the other side, it seems that Jiro Aoki has sent them to stop us. Let's sink him. ”
A small leader came over and said.
Because of Wang Zhihai's title of Dragon King, the people below call him "Wang Ye", and Wang Zhi himself likes this title very much, so he acquiesces. This title not only coincides with his surname, but also gives him a feeling of being a sea overlord.
Wang Zhi nodded indifferently and said, "Whatever you want." ”
"Okay, you can take a look, Lord Wang." The little leader arched his hand triumphantly and left.
Soon, the rumbling of artillery sounded ahead, as well as shouts sandwiched between the cannons.
After a burst of cannons, his men came to report the news, and the few Japanese ships that came to intercept them quickly turned around and fled, causing the bandits to laugh for a while.
Wang Zhi had been carefully watching the opponent's firepower with the clairvoyant mirror in his hand during the artillery battle between the two sides just now, although he felt that the number of cannons on the opponent's ship was more than he imagined, but after thinking about it, he didn't delve into it, and ordered his fleet to continue to move forward, and be sure to completely kill Jiro Aoki before the sun set in the sea level.
The thieves looked at the invisible island in front of them with a greedy and lustful light in their eyes, and they were all thinking about how to rob themselves of more property and harm a few more women when the time came, and they didn't find anything abnormal at all.
Only Wang Zhi vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say that this feeling came from, so he could only shake his head and suppress this feeling in his heart.
