The pirate leader Yuji Aoi was afraid of encountering the Dutch warship again, so he fled to the waters of the Goto Islands to find a home port, and then searched for the Ming or Luzon ships that only ran the Japanese route day and night, and succeeded three or five times.

Caught a hundred and ten slaves, obtained a lot of goods, sold four of the five sea ships that were captured, and concentrated manpower and artillery to refit a No. 2 lucky ship that was newly launched in the Ming Dynasty and was reluctant to sell.

This time, he came out to find an opportunity to grab another hand, and strive to get another ship and slaves to bring back to his home port, he found a fleet of more than a dozen ships of the Ming Dynasty, and he was a good baby, and he didn't have the slightest idea of fighting this fleet.

Who knew that others were not happy, and they hid far away to watch the excitement and cause trouble, and were beaten all over the ground by an inconspicuous straw skimming boat that jumped up.

Yuji Aoi looked at his beloved warship that had received ten shells, and his heart trembled with distress, and then he looked at the dozen or so brothers who were killed and wounded, and wanted to cry without tears.

He hated it in his heart! That cunning and big straw skimming boat is nothing more than relying on its own flexibility to bully itself, if it really fights face to face, it will be severely damaged by just one round of artillery fire.

He has rich experience in naval warfare, and he also knows that he is helpless this time because he is too lonely, if there are two warships, it will not be like this, at least there is no need to flee in the desert, and he can completely protect himself and confront the enemy ships.

As long as the two ships remain horizontally and vertically, the enemy's attack will be ineffective. His six-pounder gun had a much higher range than the enemy's four-pounder gun, and the enemy's bow was only one gun.

If the enemy ship still attacked like that, he would be greeted with five shells for one shot.

Yuji Aoi decided to return to his home port immediately, not to come out for the time being, but to beat the captured shipbuilders and slaves, equip the No. 2 fortune ship as quickly as possible, and repair his own warship.

With two warships, you won't be bullied by this style of fighting, and if you encounter that 'Yaga' again, you will definitely try to capture them, and then slowly torture them all to death.

He was thinking about 'Yaga', who was about to be tortured, and he was smiling and staring at him at the moment.

Huang Sheng found that the wounded enemy ship did not expect that he would follow it at all, and did not do anything to confuse the enemy ship in circles on the sea, but sailed directly to a bay north of Fukue Island and east of Kuga Island.

Huang Sheng immediately realized that the devil ship was about to enter the port, and ordered all the officers to observe it personally, and he himself kept an eye on the enemy ship.

The pirate ship began to set sail and slowly entered a reef-lined sea, in front of which was an island not much larger than Juehua Island, which differed from Juehua Island in that the island was rich in vegetation and lush greenery.

All the binoculars were looking at the island, which was suspected to be a pirate home port, and after careful examination, no military structures such as forts were found, and no enemy lookout posts were found nearby.

The 'Quang Ninh' quietly approached three nautical miles again, turned a large reef, and found a relatively hidden natural deep-water harbor, which contained a No. 2 Fu ship under repair and renovation, and another damaged enemy ship.

Huang Sheng secretly rejoiced that his luck was too good, and he let himself be right again. If you look closely, you can see that the dock is relatively simple, the dock is made of so-so logs, and the next to the pier may be the living quarters of pirates.

There are not even sturdy stone houses, they are all simple dwellings made of fenced wood.

There should be one or two hundred people living here, and there are probably not many flat places on this island, and more than a hundred steps behind the pier is a mountain bag about a hundred meters above sea level.

After a day of reconnaissance and no signs of arming, let alone artillery on the island, and confirming that ten guns on each of the two warships should be the greatest threat to the assault on the port, the 'Quang Ninh' quietly retreated.

Sailing at full sail, twenty-four warriors pedaled hard, and twelve chains drove gears to drive two copper propellers to increase power, which was more than three times more efficient than the twenty-four paddlers.

Half an hour for another twenty-four men, and so on, the speed of the ship reached its optimum, which should be close to ten knots. The fighters were still very relaxed, and no one felt overwhelmed.

In less than half a day, the 'Quang Ninh' arrived at a private port on Hirado Island, Japan.

Huang Sheng used a telescope to observe the island in front of him, the private harbor was in a good location, and there was a mountain sticking out in front of it, like a mother's arm that wanted to take her child into her arms.

Under the shade of the trees on the mountain, you can vaguely see that there are forts and lookout posts, and there are obviously people stationed there.

Sure enough, it is a natural harbor that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as you hold that mountain, it is in vain for you to come as many ships as you want, and you can only be beaten obediently.

At this time, I saw the 'Gaizhou' coming out, and I saw Huang Mingdao standing on the bow of the ship with a few people from a distance.

After communicating through the flag, the 'Quang Ninh' began to slowly enter the port.

It is a natural harbor in excellent condition, with a narrow entrance, surrounded by mountains, an excellent shelter from the wind, and a very wide inside, where more than a dozen ships of all sizes have docked.

The shore is like a small town, with shops, storehouses, restaurants, and brothels, which are many times stronger than the kennel of the pirate who is ready to be destroyed.

There was already a large crowd of people waiting for the 'Quang Ninh' at the pier of the largest berth.

Huang Sheng got off the ship, and Li Er, the steward sent by the Li family to hand over the goods, hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully introduced him to a tall, burly man in his thirties.

The Li family in Tongzhou, Shuntian Mansion, is a big family that has been out of the pavilion, and the people in the house are all coaxed.

The same is true of this chief steward, but after more than half a month of sailing, he saw the proud soldiers under the command of Lord Huang, and this kid saw the wind and steered.

In front of Huang Sheng, he didn't dare to take a big one, and he was short and called it small, so he enthusiastically introduced the owner here, Li Guozhu.

Huang Sheng looked at Li Guozhu calmly, only to see that his eyebrows were handsome and his skin was bronzed, and he knew that he must be a frequent runner.

The first time they met, there was a leading Li family present and it was not good to say anything, and after a few words of greeting, Li Guozhu warmly invited Lord Huang to the banquet.

He is the son of Li Dan, a sea merchant and pirate, and he is also a good man who has fought in water and fire, and has a soft spot for force.

Seeing the fierce soldiers brought by this adult, and listening to Li Er's introduction, he knew that this Ming official was not simple, and wanted to make friends with Huang Sheng.

Of course, he couldn't refuse people thousands of miles away, Huang Sheng arranged for Huang Mingdao to gather the team to prepare for the immediate departure, and followed everyone to the living room of the Li family.

This is a Japanese tatami mat structure, and there are already several tables of wine banquets in it, all of which are placed on low tables such as those of the Tang and Song dynasties in China.

Everyone took off their shoes and came to the living room to kneel and sit, Huang Sheng hated this sitting posture very much, it was so uncomfortable, both knees were painful, and he could only endure it.
