As soon as they enter the ocean, they are extremely unstable, tilting so badly that the speed of the voyage cannot even reach three knots, more than 1,500 kilometers of sea routes, climbed for thirteen days, and finally climbed to the place. When seabirds appeared in the sky, Hong Tao couldn't help cheering, this feeling of slowly drifting on the sea is really bad, even if you die, you can give a good time, this slow knife cuts meat, knowing that the typhoon is ahead, you just can't run away, what is it like?

"Yaya, send a signal to your brother Jiao, let him scout ahead, and tell your sister-in-law by the way, he's back, hehehe......" Seeing Ceylon Island from afar, Hong Tao began to play spoofs again. Bo Jiao married the daughter of Prince Kabalan, and has become the laughing stock of Jinhewan, and only the elders in the family can mention this matter. When he arrived on the ship, Bo Jiao was the captain, who dared to mention him and who was in a hurry, but Hong Tao mentioned it, and he didn't have a problem.

"Bang bang...... ......"Hong Tao didn't wait for Bo Jiao's answer, but waited for the alarm bell, and the battle flag was hung on the Zhenzhou in the distance, and there was a situation in the port!

"Alas, I have to kill people again, your uncle and I are about to become big demon kings! Ready for battle! Ask Ah Jiao, what's wrong with the front? Hong Tao doesn't like this kind of life of killing wherever he goes, but if he doesn't kill, he can't do it, and he doesn't have a chance to be reasonable. In this era, there is no universal language, and there is no universal signal, two groups of strange fleets meet, unless both sides are hiding away, no one can prove that they are harmless, even if the other party expresses it so, can you believe it!

"There are a large number of Arab galleons in the port, more than twenty!" Weng Ya quickly got accurate information from the lookout.

"Old Mai...... Come and see, are those flags from your tribe? I don't remember exactly. "Don't report it. Hong Tao had already seen through his telescope four or five Arab galleys coming out of the port of Kabalan. It's not small. The flag hanging on it seems to be a little familiar to itself. Unsure, he handed the telescope to Martini.

"Yes, it's my tribe, my lord, don't throw iron balls! They just came out to observe! Medini only glanced at it, and his fat face was full of beads of sweat, for fear that Hong Tao would play black again. Although the big man had always told him that he was here to trade, what he did along the way really made him hard to believe that Hong Tao was here to trade, and he had been praying in his heart that his tribe would not come, not to come. It's a pity that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes.

"Am I like a pirate? Haven't I ever killed someone if others don't mess with me? Didn't I keep telling you to be a civilized person? Hong Tao was very depressed, everything he did was for everyone's personal safety, but in the end, the basin was all on his head.

On the stern of the "......" stood Maitini, Wen Nan, Luo Dacai, Weng Ya, Ci Mercy, and a minister of Malacca, but no one spoke to help Hong Tao clear his name, and his eyes were full of affirmative expressions.

"Let Bojiao come back and raise that tribal flag...... ! "Hong Tao is out of line, people don't speak, you can't pinch their necks one by one to make them admit that they are good people. This kind of silent confrontation is the most hateful, and later generations have condemned this emotion as cold violence. It does make a lot of sense.

Hong Tao's flagship raised the black tribal flag, and the other party soon raised a rat flag as well, which was the maritime contact information agreed by the two sides last time. But when Hong Tao saw the rat flag, he was so angry that he circled around the stern. Is the flag painted with rats? Why is Nima the same as a mongoose! Do all the Arabian rats look like that? His eyes are round, and he has so much beard on his mouth!

Regardless of whether the painting looks like it or not, anyway, it is a code, everyone stopped the boat, and each sent a small boat to row to the middle to confirm the identity of the other party. When Martini met with his compatriots, the alarm was lifted, and the Arab galleys re-entered the harbor, and Hong Tao's fleet dropped anchor outside the harbor. It's not that they don't want to enter the port, and it's not that they have to guard against anything, but the port is too small and there are too many ships, not only Hongtao's warships can't enter, but those Arab galleys that have finished unloading their goods also have to drive out in order to let the six Southern Song Dynasty ships dock and unload.

Who said there is no universal lingua franca in this era? Who says you can't communicate without words? These Arab merchants and the maritime merchants of the Southern Song Dynasty began to gather in a few piles and start chatting since they began to unload their goods on the shore. I don't know if they can't understand what each other says, why they can still talk for hours, they don't eat dinner, they stand on the dock with lanterns and torches, and they talk while watching their goods being unloaded and stacked one by one.

"Secretary Wen, do you know? In my country, there used to be a place called Silk Street, which was very similar to this place. The people who sell goods there are Australians, and most of the people who buy things are foreigners, and they don't understand the language, but they can still buy and sell each other very much, you say that except for businessmen, who can play such a difficult technology? You can go down and take a walk, it's useless to just stare at me, I won't kill people now, you don't remember my evil deeds in that little book, right? Can you let me take a look at it first in the evening? Hong Tao did not go ashore, he was even interested in meeting the tribal leader of Medini in a dinghy, and still stayed in his boat, but sent Bojiao down. He is a colt of Port Cabalan, shouldn't he do more for the benefit of his people? By the way, he also asked him to go to the palace to see the big black fat old man who was second only to Martini, and his new daughter-in-law, for which Hong Tao gave him two days off, and he had to return to the team when the morning bell rang the morning after tomorrow.

"The general wants to see how I can stop a captive, but the general may not understand, a certain ancient font and sentence are used, which does not violate the agreement between you and me." Wen Nan suddenly showed a wicked smile on his face, he could be regarded as having found an opportunity to embarrass Hong Tao. After staying in Jinhewan for more than a year, he also had a lot of overlap with Hong Tao in teaching, Hong Tao did not know much about traditional Chinese characters and words and sentences without breaks, he had long known, and he had more than one dispute with Hong Tao about how to teach students to learn Chinese characters.

“…… Count you ruthless! "This time Hong Tao is really out of line, he will be able to understand most of the traditional Chinese characters, but there is no broken sentence plus traditional characters, it is a little difficult, you can see it, but it is very difficult, it is better not to read.

"Hahaha...... Wouldn't it be nice to go to the palace and look at their classics and history books! Seeing Hong Tao's grinning face, Wen Nan felt extremely happy. Although he no longer wore a skirt and blouse, he habitually dusted off his hands, and went to the side of the boat to call for a boat with square steps and laughter.

"Old Mai, I have a question that you need to explain to me. Even the Pu family in Guangzhou already suspected that my ship sank your seven merchant ships, so why did your people dare to come here to do business with me? Even if they didn't know before, they must have heard something about the port of Cabalan, right? When you went to contact just now, did you make an appointment with your people to get started? It doesn't hurt to tell me, whether you tell me or not, the result is the same. See, my ships are in a state of readiness and ready to attack in less than a quarter of an hour. Wen Nan left, Hong Tao really couldn't find anyone to speak, so he could only start torturing Martini, who let only him and Wengya be around at this time.

"The hosts! Omniscient hosts! Medini swears to Allah that I have not planned anything against my master! The seven ships that were sunk by the master did not belong to my people, and I just wanted to take a boat to Quanzhou, just like these maritime merchants. They are from Ayyubid Damascus, the people of Saladin, and they are not with us! Matini was holding the register book in the warehouse to calculate how many horses to change to get on the boat, but when he heard Hong Tao's accusation, he knelt down again, threw the account book, hugged one of Hong Tao's legs and began to swear to the sky.

"Damascus...... They are from the Red Sea! Isn't that the territory of Egypt? Let's go, follow me to the cabin and look at the map. Hong Tao did not believe in this black fat man, nor did he continue to dwell on this issue, but became interested in the pattern on the Arabian Peninsula again. Flicked his legs as usual, arched the fat black man, and walked towards the captain's room with his hands behind his back, and Martini immediately got up, sweating profusely and following behind, rubbing his chest as he went. According to Hong Tao's tossing, his heart was a little unbearable.

In fact, whether these Arabs harbor hatred for him or not, Hong Tao will not trust them. All the warships were in constant contact with the supply point guards on the shore in the language of the flag, and if they found any suspicious clues, the fleet would immediately set sail. In fact, the ships of the escort fleet did not even go down the anchor, and the sailmen on the masts were all in place, ready to fight at any time, which is also what Hong Tao usually requires, without the order of the fleet commander, even if it is in Jinhe Bay, it must be prepared for war. Whoever violates these basic rules, no one can say, starting with the captain of the ship, all officers will be punished. The people on the cargo ship of the Southern Song Dynasty will not die, Hong Tao can't take care of it, he must first ensure that he and his fleet do not have an accident, and everyone will be safe.

The campfires on the pier burned for most of the night, and when the first rays of morning light tore through the clouds from the east, the pier was bustling with activity again. They are really not tired, doing business is the same as fighting, saliva sprays each other's faces are all over the body, but they don't use their hand knives. But this time it's not a nonsense chatter, after a night of calculation, everyone has a definite goal and an approximate estimate in their hearts, and then they are basically targeted. Soon, there was already an agreement between the merchants, and after the two sides had settled their respective goods, they began to move to their own ships. It can be seen from their faces that both parties are satisfied with the business, and none of them have a stiff face. (To be continued.) )
