Chapter 204: The First Cannon Shot in Human History

Through the binoculars, Zhang Guoan clearly saw five sea boats coming, and the people on them were really holding weapons......

These people are not Tatars, you can see it without looking at the clothes, you can see by looking at the shape of the face. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

They are all civilians, or rather, pirates!

Zhang Guoan breathed a sigh of relief, if it was the naval army of the Tatar bandit group, it would not be very good, not because he was afraid of them, but because he hated their repeated entanglements...... There is no such thing as a thousand days of thief prevention!

He was just about to climb down when he heard some laborers shouting something, and his heart tightened, if they were in chaos, it would not be good.

He looked back and looked through the binoculars, but a smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.

Not chaos, but they are organized!

They all carried tools of labor, and arquebuses and bows and arrows...... They weren't standing in a row, and they were on the left and on the right, but they were all coming to the riverbank!

He suddenly realized that he had neglected the masses...... They don't seem to be the same as last time, perhaps because they are not Tatars.

When he came down, he was going to organize those people, and it was a good opportunity.

Captain Bao Wei looked at the angry people, and didn't know how to deal with this situation, haha, boy, you won't handle such an emergency, right?

Zhang Guoan immediately called Huang Zu and asked him to stand in front of the group of people with his spear team and shield bearers.

He shouted loudly, telling them to obey Huang Zu's arrangement!

The five sea-going vessels are now happily following the northeast monsoon into the estuary.

They had seen the dhow rowing desperately ahead, but they had not expected that the sloop was faster than their big ship.

Pirates are a technical job, not something that can be done with a knife, so Zhu Qinghui, the envoy along the river, will send people to the coast near Mizhou, Shandong to find it.

Most of the people there have been boats or sailboats. There are even people who have worked as shipbuilders.

After the Tatar bandit group took possession of Michigan, they encircled the original shipbuilders, worked for very little money, or even distributed only food, and used them as trophies.

This may be one of the reasons for the formation of the craftsman system.

Many craftsmen also fled secretly, and some ran back to the Great Song Dynasty. Some became pirates.

However, don't underestimate their combat value, when Zhu Qing was selling illicit salt along the river, he fought with them and even suffered losses.

In this time and space, the naval battles in the world are basically gang battles, and very few can sink the opponent, at most they are burned.

The outsider Zhu Qing found was a water tyrant on the Yangtze River, named Luo Sanlang. At the time of the largest number of subordinates, there were more than 500 people, but they were finally subdued by Zhu Qing in the name of the Great Song government.

It doesn't feel good for a big brother-level person to become a minion, so he took this opportunity to find a way to stand on his own again, of course, it would be quite hard.

He relied on the capital given by Zhu Qing to recruit heroes between Mizhou and Dengzhou. is ready to do a big deal without capital to kill the rich and help the poor.

Such news spreads quickly among the heroes of all walks of life at sea.

The Great Song Dynasty government was strictly guarded against pirates, and would never allow pirates to affect their trade activities. Therefore, they are still very strict in guarding their coastal areas, which makes a large number of pirates generally operate in the coastal areas of the northern region, and the Tatar bandit group is only interested in the land, only in the Great Song Dynasty. For problems at sea, they are not ready.

After Luo Saburo led the heroes from all walks of life to Yudao, there was indeed a response, and he happily recruited heroes from all walks of life together to explain the real situation. At that time, everyone was red-eyed.

Where ten thousand stones of sea salt can be produced, it must be a fat place, not to mention any skin.

All the heroes ate at sea, and there were big ships that were better than their own ships of different sizes, so they were in a hurry to set off!

Luo Saburo secretly applauded when he saw it, this is morale, and immediately everyone ate a big meal of seafood and went south to Liuqiu Island.

They sailed along the northeast monsoon, and the smooth sailing was a good sign.

Occasionally, they also saw other merchant ships, they ignored them, it was quite troublesome to block a merchant ship at sea or catch up, sometimes it took more than ten days to get it, they couldn't afford to delay this time, it was better to grab the place where ten thousand stones of sea salt were produced!

And there are only three hundred families there, and they are definitely not their opponents, and they have a total of more than a thousand heroes.

When they arrived at Pinghu, they found that there were only empty houses here, and after a careful investigation, they found that the people here must have been prepared and left.

They knew that the people here might also be in the Badaohe estuary area, so they began to make their way towards Liuqiu Island.

The little official had already handed them the chart of the Eight Rivers in advance, so it was not difficult to find a place.

As a result, when they rushed there violently, they saw a dhow in the distance, and the other party made a deft turn, coupled with human rowing, and ran into the mouth of the river quickly.

Luo Saburo crossed his waist at the bow of the boat, and his feet were stuck on the deck like nails, haha, it's time for me to lead the way!

And then they pounced.

It was still downwind, but against the current, the speed of the boat slowed down, and these eight rivers could really come in a big boat of 2,000 materials!

After passing by a mangrove forest, they also saw a castle, and there were many waterwheels and windmills in the distance, which was good, and all the information was accurate...... But now there seems to be no one on the shore, haha, all scared away, right?!

He decided to let go of the sturdy-looking castle and go straight to the dock not far away...... However, as soon as he ascended for a while, a group of people appeared on the river bank out of nowhere, and he was startled for a moment, and then he was a little inexplicable...... What are they doing with all those rows of people carrying strange monsters?

It seems to be still smoking......

At this time, he only heard some slightly immature voices shouting: "Waste! ”

Here he saw that the monster piece he was holding was emitting flames, and not to mention the crackling sound, and green smoke was emitting......

Luo Saburo was lucky, because the first wave of blows from the Liuqiu Guard was aimed at the archers, sailors and helmsmen near the sails and stern of the ship!

He was amazed to see several people fall on the ship! Others were howling at once!

At this time, something even more terrible happened, and the sound of thunder sounded on the castle!

Luo Sanlang looked up again, and saw that the river at the end of his fleet seemed to stir up a wave!

He could hear louder wails coming from the boat behind him! (To be continued.) )
