133. The Great Pirate

Jiang Zhongshi turned around and ordered the fleet's artillery carriages to attack from a distance; Seeing that a three-masted sailing ship of more than 20 meters in the fleet of the Japanese State was instantly shattered by stone bullets.

Di Feng hurriedly stopped the attack, and couldn't help shouting at Jiang Zhongshi angrily: "You melon baby, this is all our spoils, look at how much gold and silver this ship is worth with its goods?" I was so sunk by you! A merchant ship, you wouldn't order the fleet to approach and seize the ship, would you? ”

Jiang Zhongshi was born as a sailor, and he was used to commanding naval battles with warships, and he was not suitable for the profession of pirate for a while, so he didn't care about what goods he cared about, and in his opinion, as long as the war started, the first task was to destroy the enemy, and whether to capture prisoners was not in the scope of his consideration. Now as soon as he heard Di Feng's reprimand, Jiang Zhongshi also turned around, hurriedly changed his order, and ordered the fleet to form a scorpion-shaped formation to surround the fleet of the Japanese country.

This fleet of Japanese ships consisted of ten ships of all sizes, eight of which were merchant ships, the largest of which was more than 40 meters long and had a unique structure; There are also two escort ships, which are said to be escort ships, but they are large merchant ships equipped with protective cowhides, but there is not even a strong crossbow on board, except for some samurai with swords and sticks as guards.

Perhaps frightened by the power of the artillery carriage, the fleet of the Japanese State did not dare to scatter and escape, and the Ningzhou fleet easily surrounded the Japanese fleet, and the samurai on the escort ship only resisted slightly, and they were jumped on the boat by the five killing gods of the Lingnan Five Tigers, and slashed like chopping melons and vegetables. The frightened other samurai hurriedly dropped their weapons and surrendered on the ground.

Seeing that these Japanese people were unbearable, far from being as unyielding as the warrior spirit of later generations, Di Feng was also disinterested, and he asked Jiang Zhongshi to send someone to count the belongings, and at the same time, he also asked people to find the person in charge of this fleet.

This fleet of Japanese ships was formed by several merchants, led by a man named Abe or something; There was a long list of names, and Di Feng felt that the names of the Japanese people were strange and difficult to remember, so he simply called him Abe.

This Abe is good, not only proficient in Chinese, but also has the potential to be a traitor, as soon as he saw Di Feng, Abe was busy and bent his knees to explain their origin to Di Feng; It turned out that this fleet came from Omi Castle in the Wa Kingdom, and at this time, the king of the Wa Kingdom called himself Emperor Tenchi, saying that the "Emperor" Abe was afraid of violating Di Feng's taboo, and he also changed his name to "Tenchi Kunijun" very interestingly; Several of the stewards of the fleet were members of the Great Clan of the Wa Kingdom, and Abe's clan was the most powerful of them; This time, they returned to the Wa Kingdom from Baekje, and the ship was loaded with not only Baekje specialties, but also naturalized people who were going to be resettled in Dongguk.

"Naturalized people"? Di Feng muttered curiously.

Abe looked at Di Feng's doubts, and hurriedly explained, the so-called "naturalized people" is the general term for immigrants from Middle-earth, Baekje, Silla and other places, and the Wa State calls these naturalized people, and these people are generally placed by the Wa State in the area east of Suzuka Pass and Bupo Pass, which is also the eastern country in Abe's mouth.

As soon as Di Feng heard that the "naturalized people" were illegal immigrants, he immediately lost interest in these people who like to run out, since these people like to go abroad to suffer, then let them go to Jeju Island to be coolies, Di Feng plans to build Jeju Island is short of coolies!

At this time, Jiang Zhongshi also finished counting the finances of the fleet of the Japanese state, and the ten ships were extremely rich, from gold, silver, and gems to brocade and silk herbs, and minerals.

"Good! You will send some people to send the boat and belongings to Jeju Island" Di Feng arranged with satisfaction to Jiang Zhongshi, and after speaking, he saw Abe looking at himself pitifully, looking like a beggar waiting for alms, Di Feng's eyes rolled, and an idea came to mind.

"Abe, which boat is yours?" Di Feng asked Abe with a smile.

When Abe heard this, he hurriedly pointed to the largest boat.

"Do you want me to return your belongings and boat?" Di Feng asked Abe again.

Abe nodded busily.

"Okay, the boat and belongings can be returned to you, but you have to join us......"

Di Feng hadn't said the conditions yet, and Abe had already kowtowed his hair and swore loyalty, "My lord, please command, Abe has no two hearts!" ”

Abe's performance made Di Feng very satisfied, and he told his attention, in fact, it was very simple, Di Feng asked Abe to be an internal ghost, and he led Di Feng's fleet around to rob ships between Baekje and Wa Kingdom. It's okay not to participate, but you can report the route of the ships going to sea in advance.

As for whether Abe will repeat, Di Feng doesn't care, this time other people's people and ships have been taken away by Di Feng, leaving only Abe to return to the Wa Kingdom, as long as he dares to have two hearts, as long as he releases the news that Abe is an internal ghost, he has a hundred mouths and can't explain clearly.

After recognizing Di Feng's skull flag, Abe returned to the Wa Kingdom with a nervous mood, as for how Abe explained his return to China, Di Feng didn't care, he had already ordered the fleet to continue sailing towards Goguryeo.

The distance from Jeju Island to the hinterland of Goguryeo is equivalent to that from Oohu Island to Baekje, and half of the voyage took Di Feng for more than a month, and several major events occurred during this month.

Zhao Ling'er received the news from Di Feng and had sent people and things to Jeju Island.

Thirteen Niang also arrived on Jeju Island, when she arrived at Jeju Island, Jiang Zhongshi sent someone to escort the seized spoils of the Japanese State to Jeju Island, Thirteen Niang saw Jeju Island, and also fell in love with this beautiful island, and then saw the ships and property of the captured Japanese State, Thirteen Niang's eyes lit up, "This barricade and robbery of property is faster than honest business, I already have a new warship, why not follow Di Feng's example, and also go to sea to rob?" ”。

So Thirteen Niang took Jeju Island as a base, began to organize manpower, and asked Zhang Xiaoguang to hang up the skull flag, and went around robbing houses to live the life of a sea overlord.

With the cooperation of Abe, the inner ghost, Thirteen Niang has succeeded in more than a dozen businesses, and this toss the Wa Kingdom and Silla and Baekje can't sit still, and they have also sent sailors to encircle and suppress the pirates, but the "pirates" ships and ships are strong, and several encirclement and suppression tools are returned, coupled with the civil strife in the Wa Kingdom, Baekje is already dying under the repeated blows of the Tang Army, and the two countries have broken off the idea of encircling and suppressing the pirates.

With the support of the looted property and personnel, and the assistance sent by Zhao Ling'er from Ningzhou, Jeju Island has a population of more than 10,000 under the management of Thirteen Niang, and already has the strength to resist the Wa Kingdom and Baekje, which makes Thirteen Niang even more emboldened, she stepped up the construction of Jeju Island's defense, and sent Zhang Xiaoguang to plunder resources to the coastal islands of Wa Guo farther away.

For a time, the skull flag became a nightmare in this sea area, and any past ships that touched the skull flag would either hand over filial piety or wait for destruction, which also made this sea area have an unwritten rule, but whenever you see the skull flag, as long as you hand over a certain amount of property and people, you can safely come and go, so ships of all countries will prepare before going to sea, buy road goods and hand over slaves.

It's easy to talk about property, but you still have to pay slaves? The emergence of this rule also led to the emergence of a large number of human traffickers in the Wa Kingdom and Baekje, which were in the midst of civil strife.

In the face of the increasingly arrogant bandits, the Wa Kingdom also thought about asking Datang for help, but Datang was at a critical juncture of the Eastern Crusade at this time, and had no time to take care of anything else. (To be continued.) )
