Chapter 177 Pirates

As soon as the Kaixiang entered the South Seas, it received news from the rivers and lakes.

Qi Feng, as a veteran dart master, is not in vain with his qualifications of wandering at sea for decades, although this Nanyang is still far away from Tianzhu, but it can still make him well-informed.

How can he be well-informed at sea, and it is almost impossible for him, a small shipowner with only one ship, to mix well in the New World, thousands of miles away from home.

This time it was the news from Su Yanqing, the gangster of Jianning Mansion in Borneo.

Su Yanqing was a general under Lin Feng, the owner of the sky-shading ship, and Lin Feng nested on Black Wind Island at the southern tip of Luzon, gathering thousands of ships and tens of thousands of subordinates, and was the most famous pirate leader between Borneo, Luzon and Sulawesi.

Among the three feudatories of the Great Song Dynasty, only under the rule of King Jing was a country of a thousand islands, and it was full of poor mountains and rivers far from the prosperous population, and it has always been a place where pirates gathered, and it was impossible to prevent it.

These pirates hid in remote islands and reefs, usually unaware, and then gathered when it was time to go out to intercept merchant ships on the routes of merchant ships near Borneo and Mangara. It is the great enemy of the merchants of the sea.

But in this world, there are maritime merchants and pirates, and where the sea route is prosperous, pirates are equally prosperous. These two are two sides of the same body in the world, and the repeated attacks of the imperial court sailors are basically useless, and it is impossible to clear them all, otherwise there will be no dart game.

It is even rumored that many of these pirates are covered by powerful people behind them.

Qi Feng is a veteran dart master, of course, he also knows that the dart game is greasy, such as the tailwind dart game, there is often a certain collusion with some pirates behind the back, in order to ensure his own business route, and by the way, he can also use his hands to fight competitors.

This Su Yanqing was also a famous pirate back then, and now he is retired ashore and is still very prestigious in this Nanyang realm. Therefore, it is a common practice to talk about the rivers and lakes, the cat and mouse family in the world.

And this time, the news from Su Yanqing, an old big pirate, turned out to be that he wanted Kaixiang to partner up to make a deal, and the person sent by Su Yanqing and Su Ye, named Lao San, looked at Kaixiang with a mouth full of saliva.

"Qi Ye, if you partner with us on this ship, I'm afraid Su Ye will have to give you at least half of it! What a big ship, such a good ship, I'm afraid we don't have it in the whole of East Borneo. ”

This guy turned out to be a boat-savvy guy who knew the benefits of a Western-style galleon like Qi Feng.

Qi Feng was naturally satisfied when he heard this guy compliment his boat, but as for whether to go to Borneo and take this trip to the troubled waters, he didn't make up his mind so quickly.

Speaking of which, the two have been running around at sea for the past two years, and it is not unheard of to do such a thing as pretending to be a pirate to block the road and rob money. But this is not a serious thing after all, and it cannot be done often, and the two have never thought of actually becoming pirates.

And the current situation is not the time when they were in the New World, the two of them have now gone to the South Seas, the closer they are to Tianzhu, the more they are like arrows, at this juncture, to be pirates, and to do big business under the leadership of others!

The bigger the deal, the more risky it is, if this kind of thing is still in the New World, most of them will choose to do it, but now that they have known the news that Li Zhe has become the governor of the capital, after the two go back, it will definitely have a bright future, where do you need to do this kind of business that hangs your head on the waistband of your pants.

Qi Feng didn't want to do it in his heart.

At this time, Li He interjected next to him and asked,

"Half percent?"

When the third child heard Li He's question, he hurriedly replied:

"Isn't that? At least half of it. Qi Ye, your ship is good, there are many cannons, and the power is large, and Su Ye's rewards and punishments are clear, so he naturally wants to give you more points. ”

Unexpectedly, Li He said disdainfully beside him:

"Third brother, third brother, I think you misunderstood, you think my uncle's ship has a lot of cannons, and one ship can be worth dozens of ships of others, so we only have half of it, can Su Ye's subordinates gather such twenty ships this time?"

When the old man heard this, he was asked, and he didn't have anything to say for a while.

Yes, begging for a living on this sea, the boat under this foot is hard power, whoever has a big ship, whoever has more boats, can get a share of the spoils.

He himself is well aware of the advantages of a Western-style sea ship like Qi Feng, not only is the ship large and has a lot of loads, but also the hull is unusually strong, and he can fight many and accurately at sea.

Now it is no longer as good as before on this sea, and now even pirates know to keep pace with the times, since the guns installed on this ship have been changed to the Narausch rifled guns, the mode of naval warfare in this sea has changed, the traditional fireships in the past, the tactics of jumping gangs are not implemented, they are not good, and now the guns in the sea battle are accurate, and even the pirates have to keep up with the times and start artillery battles.

Therefore, now, the amount of combat power at sea can no longer be measured by relying solely on the number of ships and the number of ships, such as Qi Feng's ship, the most suitable for artillery battles, a ship can really reach the old-fashioned Guangchuan Fu ship more than a dozen, if you calculate Qi Feng according to the old-fashioned method, it is indeed a loss.

However, if he wants to distribute the share of the promised higher loot on the spot now, he really doesn't have this possibility, after all, he is just a messenger, not Su Ye himself. How dare you take such an idea for Su Ye.

Qi Feng's face was blank at this time,

"Why, the third doesn't even dare to agree to this, then forgive me Qi Mou will not accompany me for the time being, my Qi Mou's boat is worth a few catties and a few taels Qi Mou knows it himself, if Su Ye doesn't have a suitable statement, then don't blame me Qi Mou for not doing it, the third child should go back for the time being! Wait until Su Ye has a better explanation. ”

As soon as the third child heard this, he hurriedly looked for the boat and left the Kaixiang, anyway, it was useless for him to stay here, and he had to go back to Su Ye to get an idea.

After the third child went down, Qi Feng hummed Li He with a flat face,

"This kind of thing, we are not ready to go, why do you bother to talk to him, in vain. Okay now, you answered, according to the rules, we have to wait here, otherwise when the rivers and lakes come out, it will be our unreasonableness, and it's not a good thing to offend this gang of thieves in Nanyang? ”

Over there, Li He was reprimanded by his uncle, his head shrank habitually, and he replied:

"How do I know, I just think it's funny, plug in like that, who would have thought that person would be like that!"

Belch! What the? Just fun!

Qi Feng was choked by his nephew this time, and he really had no temper.
