Chapter 3: Then Be a Pirate
The southern side of Singapore is the Straits of Malacca, and Keppel Harbour is located at the southernmost point of the main island of Singapore, adjacent to the Straits of the Strait. The harbour is surrounded by the main island and Sentosa Island, and the entrance is narrow and the internal water is wide. The water is deep, reef-free, and the wind and waves are calm, making it an ideal place to anchor. Experienced navigators naturally fall in love with this treasure at a glance.
The importance of Keppel Harbour needs no more to say. But now it's no longer called 'Keppel Harbour'. After yesterday's 'amicable' consultations. In the end, it was decided to call it 'Dayuan Port', saying that it was to commemorate a navigator named Wang Dayuan in the Yuan Dynasty, because it was he who recorded that this place was called 'Gulongyamen'. It is named because two "dragon's teeth" shaped stones stand on both sides of the kaido. However, Wang Kun looked at the obstruction of the entry and exit of large ships, and he would inevitably be blown up in the future. Because this is why it was blown up in the afterlife.
For the safety of Daeyuan Port, the three of them drove away the scattered residents along the harbor. In fact, there was no need to drive it, and on the first day, when they saw such a big ship, they were all frightened and ran into the mountains.
The next day was sunny, without wind or waves, and a fishing boat was slowly leaving the port in the calm port of Dayuan. Singapore is not as prosperous as it was in the future, and Malacca across the street is not as busy as it was in later generations. Because it's not monsoon season, it's so calm as far as the eye can see.
Wang Kun stood at the bow of the boat, the sky was so blue, the sun was so warm, and his mood was extraordinarily comfortable. The three of them went to sea this time to explore the way, and after yesterday's final analysis, they came to the conclusion that the company was short of money and people. As a colonial company or a colonial company without a large rear, this is actually a bandit gang organization.
So in the end, the three of them decided to become pirates together, because the cost of doing this for the time being is the smallest, of course, it doesn't matter in mind first, and it didn't hurt to kill people and set fires when they were mercenaries before. What's more, in this era, there is no international convention or international law, and no one will stand up and accuse you of human rights. At this time, the law of the jungle is more observed.
As a pirate as far as the tool is concerned, it is to put a Japanese-made 75mm mountain gun in the front and rear of the fishing boat, imagine that in this era, whether in terms of firepower, speed or armor protection, it can be said that this fishing boat is the most powerful warship in the world.
Therefore, driving this fishing boat out to rob will definitely be invincible. Thinking of this, Wang Kun no longer worries about whether he can live a better life. Even if nothing is achieved in the end, by robbing the merchant ships in the past, I am afraid that it will be enough for the three brothers to squander in the future, which inevitably strengthens Wang Kun's determination to be a good pirate.
Just as Wang Kun had infinite reverie about the future, Zhang Lei walked out of the cabin with a puzzled face and asked, "Big brother, since we have decided to become an excellent pirate, do we want our name?" What do you think of the name 'Dragon King of the South China Sea'? Oh, and how about our ship be called the Marauder? ”
After speaking, without waiting for Wang Kun to react, he said: "Haha! Am I talented? Do you admire me? Right! Xiao Gangzi, it was this look in my eyes that I read deep envy from it, and I had to keep yelling! ”
Seeing that Wang Kun didn't pay attention to him behind him, he turned his head and teased Zhao Shichang, who was turning the rudder.
"We don't plan to be pirates or bandits all the time, just forget it, just have the name 'Wei Feng Company'. As for the ship's name that must be there, the name 'Marauder' is too aggressive to deal with Westerners, and they won't care. But in the future, when our own people hear these three words, they must be frightened and run away. In my opinion, it might as well be called the Explorer. ”
"I thought your name was constructive, you have to be domineering but not domineering, you have to have no connotation, you have to have personality without personality. How about we call it 'Challenger'? Xiao Gangzi, you say. ”
"Hey, hey! It's not good, it's better to be a big brother! Zhang Lei was about to make a move, but he heard Zhao Shichang say again;" But I think it's better to call it 'Golden Melly'. ”
"Damn! Can you still pursue a little! I said, how did you suddenly get so happy last night? ”
Seeing Zhang Lei's depressed appearance, Wang Kun was also happy, this Zhao Shichang is a loyal One Piece manga fan. I usually don't have any other hobbies just like to watch One Piece.,I don't get tired of watching the anime version and manga version many times.。 And the favorite is actually Chopper, Wang Kun is also drunk. It seems that honest people still like Lori a little more!
"I think my big thunder son is also a peerless hero, how could he fall into such a field. There is a big brother who has no appreciation above, and there is an unreliable little brother below. In order to compensate for this hard life, I decided that when I returned, I would choose a ship to be my future car, and then I would have to choose a name and arrange it as I wished. Ha ha! I'm so talented! Did Xiao Gangzi feel like he adored me this time! Well?! ”
"Huh! Although you are very shameless, but you are so right, I will go back and choose a one named 'Golden Merry', it is very cool to think about it! Hey! Ha ha! ”
Wang Kun helplessly covered his head and turned his face away, indicating that he was defeated by these two beans.

The three of them went to sea this time to explore the way, but they didn't go to explore the way for the sake of looting. This time, the destination is also very simple, which is to head southeast towards West Borneo. There was a very famous Chinese organization here in later generations - the Lanfang Great Unified Republic.
This is a democratic country founded earlier than the United States, which existed for more than 100 years from 1772 to 1912, and was finally completely destroyed by the invasion of the Dutch colonists.
So now it stands to reason that the Republic of Lanfang should also be established, but if it is not established, it will be better, and then maybe there will be something bigger to do here.
After a day and a night of sailing, the next morning, the three of them saw the long coastline of Borneo. In the age of sailing, this is undoubtedly a very fast speed.
In fact, this fishing boat as a three-person sea car, has been modified in a large area at the beginning, both speed and endurance are very different from ordinary fishing boats, the maximum speed can reach 26 knots, and the installation of large fuel tanks can make sailing for more than a month below 20 knots.
When they saw the stretch of coastline, the three of them couldn't help but feel excited, and when they arrived here, they could finally figure out what time it was. Finally, we can clearly understand the living conditions of overseas Chinese in this era. As for the previous Lijiazhuang, which could only be regarded as an isolated small village, even when facing the three of them, they were wary everywhere, and the questions were vague, so they were not representative.
