Chapter 416: Privateer License
At this time, Datang has not completed the accumulation of navigation technology, and it is not so easy to cross the strait for a long distance, so it still relies on monsoons and ocean currents to sail along the coast, which is why Lingnan is so important to Guangfu, and it is also an important reason why Dengzhou has become the center of the northern port. Fastest updates
Departing from Dengju Port to the north, there are Nagashima Islands on the way to stop and replenish, which can be regarded as a road signpost, and then you don't need to cross too long a distance to reach the shore, and you can reach the three kingdoms of Goguryeo along the coast.
After crossing the strait for a short period of time, you can go to the Wa Kingdom, and on the contrary, people from these countries also take this route to land in Datang.
It was precisely with such convenient geographical conditions that Dengju became the center of trade exchanges between the Central Empire and neighboring countries, and also became the port city of the earliest Maritime Silk Road, and also an indispensable bridgehead when attacking Goguryeo and other countries.
And now it has obviously become the most suitable place for Lin Sen's fleet to explore the Wa Kingdom. Lin Sen's secret mission is naturally to ensure the safety of the fleet and disguise the true purpose of the fleet as much as possible.
Therefore, after the caravan was sent ashore, the fleet did not turn around and return to Dengzhou, but continued along the coast and went straight to the Wa Kingdom.
Of course, there were some goods left on the ship, pretending to be going to the Japanese country to trade, but in fact there were many soldiers and experts in mineral deposits.
And not long after the caravan departed, Lin Sen's side was lively again. Many so-called guys begging for a living on the water came to talk to Lin Sen.
The reason why these people can appear in front of the barracks in a grand manner, especially when these soldiers are also responsible for fighting pirates, is mainly because they all have extraordinary backgrounds, and more importantly, they can be said to be called by Lin Sen.
These people look very heavy, none of them look like good stubble, they belong to the kind of ruthless characters that children are so scared that they don't dare to cry when they see them, and their appearance and temperament are generally hideous and terrifying.
Even in front of Lin Sen, he did not change his unruly posture, but it could be regarded as somewhat restrained, so as not to give people the feeling that no one was in sight.
After all, Lin Sen is also famous, and the name of the demon god is also very loud, especially in the Northland. Moreover, Lin Sen's strength at hand is not weak at the moment, and if he really wants to do it, none of them can bear it.
In addition, there is another important reason, these people also have a certain relationship with Lin Sen, and it is not difficult to find that these people all have a background of martial arts.
For example, the guy who has a fight with the two brothers over there, but is missing an eye, and the guy who still leaks fierce light in one eye is the boss of a group of water bandits on the surface, but in private he is actually Zhang Liang's general.
Other people also have similar relationships, including the Cheng family and the Qin family, as well as a number of subordinates who are familiar with Lin Sen, of course, they must have nothing to do with them on the surface.
And these people also have the identity of serious businessmen to cover up, and most of the people who are doing it are foreigners, and other fleets that are also engaged in private business.
In other words, there is no public grievance, and those who have a heart know that their background is not simple, and there is no bitter lord to sue them, so naturally no one will arrest them.
In Lin Sen's opinion, these people are not the retreat that those martial artists have prepared for themselves.
As far as Lin Sen knows, there are always some children in these families who have been expelled on the surface, and their roles are self-evident, some are in business, some are sailing, and some are in the grass.
It is conceivable that such a person is naturally an absolute confidant, such as the gang of gangsters in front of him.
However, from another point of view, being able to see the current gang of guys after he sent the news, especially when there are soldiers and bandits on both sides, it can also be seen that the gang of Zi Wuxun really accepted him.
"General Lin called someone to come, I don't know what to teach? A certain group has already been advised by the family, but General Lin has an order, and a certain water comes and goes, and the firepower comes and goes in the fire, and there is no other word. It was the one-eyed majestic man who took the lead and asked.
Although the words are very beautiful, the suspicion in the eyes is not concealed at all, after all, the two sides are different roads, not to mention that water and fire are incompatible, at least it can't get hot.
Don't they think that Lin Sen has any good deal to take care of them, is it possible that he can take the initiative to sell them the information where there is a fat sheep? Or warn them that it is still possible to restrain their actions, who will let Lin Sen still have the responsibility to fight pirates.
"As you can imagine, I hope that during my tenure, I will not hear that any legitimate businessmen of Datang have been attacked or harmed! It is my responsibility to guarantee the legitimate gains of the Don people and to fight piracy, and I must reiterate this. Lin Sen said meaningfully.
Hearing Lin Sen's words, the arrogant guys below were ready to shush Lin Sen, even if the one-eyed pirate stretched out his hand to signal quiet, the noise did not stop.
"What if it's a merchant ship from another country or if it's not a legitimate merchant?"
The One-Eyed Pirate clearly had a delicate mind that didn't quite match his strong stature, otherwise the fierce creatures wouldn't have been faintly headed by him.
Lin Sen deliberately accentuated the words "Datang" and "legitimate businessman", so that this person understood his subtext, and he was ready to confirm it again.
"I am the commander of the Tang Dynasty, and I am not from Goguryeo, nor from Baekje, nor from the Wa Kingdom! However, Silla has always been friendly with Datang, and I may also have the responsibility to maintain it, after all, Silla is also very popular in Datang.
As for unscrupulous merchants, it is also my duty to crack down on them. Lin Sen said very righteously.
However, in the eyes of the one-eyed pirate, it was full of the meaning of "children can be taught", and they were full of encouragement.
That's right, that's what you think, let it go, big brother (dei).
"A certain class must abide by the general's teachings, and please rest assured that the general will not be difficult to do." The One-Eyed Pirate nodded knowingly, then clenched his fists and said in a deep voice.
"Well, since you wait for the opportunity, I'll tell you another news, I heard that there will be some miners in need of some miners recently, although the work is a bit heavy, but in the future, how can it be regarded as the people under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, and those strong laborers who want to come to the surrounding countries should also be full of yearning for this.
It's just that it's inconvenient to come and go, maybe you need to take them for a ride by the way, which can be regarded as contributing to the construction of Datang.
I'm optimistic about you. Lin Sen walked up to the one-eyed pirate leader and said with a smile, and by the way, he habitually patted the other party's shoulder to show encouragement.
"To have a general who is dedicated to the public to be the captain of Dengzhou is really a blessing of a certain level, and it is also a blessing for the Tang Dynasty.
I just don't know where the history of thorns is? "The one-eyed pirate asked the last concern, let's do this, can the Dengzhou assassin agree?
"Don't worry, that assassin Shi Zhu Di and I are incompatible, and I have the will of His Majesty today, we cooperated last time, and this time I think about it, we can still have a tacit understanding.
Just be bold and do it. Lin Sen waved his hand calmly, signaling them not to have any worries, just let it go.
In fact, Lin Sen's words are translated into one meaning, I will give you a privateer license!
Go rob, go plunder the slaves!
