Chapter 342: Out to Sea

When Wan Qiyang learned about the shipping route this time, he gradually paid attention to strengthening the control over the sea navigation route, thinking that the national strength would really be inseparable from these in the future. The Ming Dynasty is a textbook, from the very beginning of the world's maritime power, the world's trade center, but gradually turned into a backward and bullied weak country, which is the reason why the combat power of the sea is not valued.

After going out of the South China Sea, the first thing to pass through is the Strait of Malacca, then enter the Indian Ocean waters and enter the Red Sea after passing through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, enter the Mediterranean Sea through the Suez Canal, and then enter the Atlantic Ocean through the Strait of Gibraltar. Finally to the west coast of England. It is this route that Wan Qiyang also admires the current navigators, who can dare to cross the ocean so boldly under such simple conditions.

On the tenth day, the ship arrived at the Strait of Malacca, and saw that the sea lane here was really very busy, but the ship on which Wan Qiyang was riding was hung with the flag of the royal emblem of England, and there were two rows of cannons on the hull, so it was quite majestic and arrogant to pass through the strait.

Wan Qiyang spent another month at sea like this, and he also felt that the difference between cultivating on the ship and cultivating on land was not small, because in addition to the fact that the ship itself was surrounded by seawater, and the sun rose from the sea level every day, it was very spectacular, which increased the time for Wan Qiyang to absorb the aura by half, so his internal strength was also growing very fast.

But it is impossible to be calm and smooth sailing at sea, and when he has experienced many storms, that is also what makes Zhuang Yang moved, in front of nature, such a large ship also seems so small, and it feels like it will capsize at any time. Anyway, the foreigner Andy vomited and vomited, and he felt extremely weak!

Three months passed quickly, and Wan Qiyang's merchant ships also passed through the Suez Canal, so Wan Qiyang didn't expect that this canal was simply the difference between big witch and small witch compared to the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal. The ships and flags of various countries are unrecognizable, and at the same time, it is found that there are really a lot of Dutch ships, and Dutch ships meet them at any time.

Some of the ships that passed by showed hateful eyes, and some had gloating expressions, and after they walked away, Wan Qiyang also learned that there were different countries and hostile forces in different business fields in these ships, but it was a little inexplicable for Wan Qiyang to see that kind of gloating expression.

But none of this is Wan Qianyang's business, anyway, he is just a passerby, as long as he arrives in England safely, he still wants to drive his own ship back in a few years if he has the conditions!

When he arrived in the Mediterranean Sea, Wan Qiyang also felt a different atmosphere, there was a time when the sea was indeed unusually calm, coupled with the fog from time to time, it was like shuttling in a fairyland. At this moment, Wan Qiyang remembered the movies he watched in later generations, and the scene there was also like the current situation, there was a heavy fog floating on the quiet sea, and there should be a lot of reefs under the water surface at this time, because many routes should not be too far from the coastline, otherwise they would be lost.

Suddenly, Wan Qiyang felt a small vibration of the hull, but the others, including the sailors, did not react at all, which was also because of Wan Qiyang's cultivation of internal strength, and his five senses were much sharper than ordinary people.

Wan Qiyang signaled Zhuang Yang to lock the gate and not open it after he went out, and then went to the dock of the foreigner Andy, and asked him not to go out of the cabin, no matter what happened. Subsequently, Wan Qiyang found a sailor suit and covered his head and left only two eyes outside.

After a while, Wan Qiyang heard a fight on the deck, and then a ship with a slightly smaller hull than theirs was drilled out of the right rear of the ship, and a skull flag was hoisted at the bow of the ship. Isn't this a pirate, but the pirate's ship is smaller than the ship they have robbed, so they take the first touch on the ship to kill some of the sailors, control the rudder, and then aim the muzzle of their ship at their target, and at this time the hijacked ship can not turn around in time to attack the pirate ship, only passive obedience.

This was a seamless process, but they didn't expect that there was a god of killing on board, so everything would change their outcome at the hands of this god of killing.

In a fight, Wan Qiyang first went to the deck of the ship and found the sailors who were fighting with the pirates, but where are the usual sailors who are the opponents of these murderous pirates, and in a blink of an eye, seven or eight people fell, some of them were still bleeding, and the pirates wanted to rush to the captain's room to seize control of the ship, when they saw Wan Qiyang wearing a sailor suit, they thought that one person was alone, so someone ran up and picked up a sword to kill him.

As a result, Wan Qiyang walked all the way and touched the sailors on his ship and ordered the hemostatic acupoints, and the pirates made them unable to move. In this way, there were many more humanoid sculptures on the ship, and it was not until all the pirates who touched the ship first were controlled that Wan Qiyang tried to control the ship opposite. At this time, another sailor rushed out of the cabin, looking at these immobile pirates, first there was a burst of consternation, and then some people were about to pick up a knife to kill, Wan Qiyang shouted angrily: "Don't move, these are hostages, don't you see a big ship on the other side?" ”

At this time, the captain also came back to his senses, saw that this person was wearing a sailor suit, but his face was covered, and knew that this person was not a real sailor, and directly ordered his sailors not to act rashly, and to obey the knights. Of course, there are also sailors who say that it is a big deal, anyway, they also have artillery on board. But he was slapped by the captain, the ship is the captain's home, and some still love the ship as their life, so how can they not be injured at all in the war, so of course the captain hopes that he can profit and win without going to war, isn't this the best ending?

Because the fog is still very strong, the opposing pirate ship should still be waiting for the pirates who get on board first here to take control and send a signal to them, and then they will make the next plan. It's all for the purpose of not going to war if they can, after all, the pirate hull is smaller, so they won't have an advantage after the real war! But Wan Qiyang visually observed that the distance between the two ships was still twenty or thirty meters, and both sides could not see the situation on the decks of the ships on both sides clearly, and then it was definitely not realistic to interrogate the pirates at this time, after all, these pirates were also outlaws, and it was impossible to be subdued so easily. So Wan Qiyang decided that it was best to go directly to the other party's ship, and the combat weapon at this time was a bow and crossbow in addition to a sword, so Wan Qiyang didn't have to worry about being injured at all. Looking around, I found that the current hull is a wooden structure, and there are many natural planks, Wan Qiyang directly removed a wooden door, took it in his hand and threw it out, and then shot at the wooden board thrown out as soon as he kicked the mast, and the plank fell to the sea after borrowing force in the air, and Wan Qiyang also got on the ship of the other pirate, and when he got to the ship through the fog, he directly lit everyone up and down from the deck, and all of them were controlled by Wan Qiyang. After checking again and again, he found that everyone was controlled, and Wan Qiyang was relieved, and at the same time, Wan Qiyang made another discovery, because a layer of cells was also found on the pirate ship, and there were many people imprisoned in it, judging from the clothes, there should be some nobles and some slaves.

However, Wan Qiyang did not let go for the time being, first gather these pirates and then talk about it, generally speaking, it is impossible for these pirates to come out, so Wan Qiyang has to catch all these pirates. Wan Qiyang returned to the merchant ship through the pirate ship's escape boat.

"Captain, may I ask how the pirates are going to deal with it?" Wan Qiyang asked directly to the captain.

"Huh? Excuse me, sir, what's going on over there? Why didn't you hear the fight? The usual situation is that pirates are brought back to their home countries and then tried and then hanged. The captain also answered Wan Qianyang's question.

"Oh, what about these pirates and their accomplices, when they come to take revenge?" Wan Qiyang then said: "I have completely controlled the pirate ship, according to the law of the sea, whoever intercepts it belongs to whom?" In fact, Wan Qiyang also said nonsense, and he used internal force at the moment, giving people a kind of psychological pressure.
