In the cabin, bags of grain were placed neatly, several layers of hemp bags, placed one person high, Zhang Feng became interested, opened one of the sacks, and inside was Huang Cancan's rice. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhao Weibin also followed, and said happily: "Lord General Soldier, the food is good, now a stone of grain has risen to more than three taels of silver, so much food, this is equivalent to silver for nothing." ”

The productivity of the Ming Dynasty was low, grain production was low, grain prices were not cheap, and the last years of the Ming Dynasty were typical of the Xiaoice River period, either drought or flood, plus a locust plague or something, many places have been poor people's livelihood, such as Shaanxi, Shaanxi area.

Songjiang Prefecture, Suzhou Prefecture and other areas, because it is located in the south of the Yangtze River and is a grain producing area, the grain price is slightly better, but the grain price has also risen from two taels of silver and one stone last year to more than three taels of silver now, and there is a trend of continuing to rise.

Zhang Feng said happily: "I didn't think about it, these pirates have robbed so much grain, and now it's all good, all of them have become our trophies." ”

Zhang Feng happily took a look at this cabin, and then went to the cabin next door, no surprise, the cabin next door is also the whole cabin of food.

The food is good!

Zhang Feng was in a good mood, and looked at several cabins in a row, most of which were grain, in addition to cloth, cotton, etc., in addition to some gold and silver.

Zhang Feng said in his heart, this time is a bumper harvest, the only regret is that there is a little less hard goods such as gold and silver, and there is only one cabin on this ship with gold and silver, about tens of thousands of taels of silver.

"Lord Commander, what a bumper harvest!"

Zhao Weibin ran over and reported to Zhang Feng in person, although the specific details were not fully counted, but the general result was still known.

Zhao Weibin said: "Lord Commander, there are a total of eight ships, we have checked them all, and roughly estimated, there are about 40,000 or 50,000 stones of grain, more than 10,000 pieces of cloth, in addition to cotton, porcelain, etc., what is even more gratifying is that there are about more than 100,000 taels of silver, and there are also a lot of gold and jewelry, which should be more than 100,000 taels of silver." ”

Zhang Feng listened to the report and roughly calculated in his heart that if all these things were converted into silver, the total value was estimated to be 400,000 or 500,000 taels of silver.

On a trip to the sea, one guy made 400,000 or 500,000 taels, which is already very good, equivalent to a windfall, and Zhang Feng is in a good mood.

Zhao Weibin continued: "Lord Commander, in addition to these things, we have captured a total of five hundred and sixty-three pirates, these people, are they ......?"

Zhao Weibin made a movement to wipe his neck, which meant to kill them all.

Zhang Feng shook his head and said slowly: "Kill them all, that's too cheap for them." ”

Zhao Weibin said with a slight surprise: "Lord Commander, your consciousness is ......"

Zhang Feng said: "These captives, all of them are young and strong, and they have good strength, and all of them are used as coolies, used to do things for us, and build for us. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Weibin's eyes lit up, "Lord General Soldier, you are still smart, in this way, we have hundreds of free labor, haha, this is a good idea." ”

Zhang Feng also smiled, and then said: "Go to Ryukyu, we will stop at the port there for a few days, and replenish by the way." ”

After the first battle, the sailors suffered casualties, the wounded needed to recuperate, and in addition, some ships were damaged and needed to be repaired, and they also needed to replenish fresh water and food, and going to the Ryukyus was the best choice.

So, the order was given, and the fleet set off for the Ryukyus......

………

The Ryukyu Islands are located in the East China Sea, facing northeast and southwest, and include the Osumi Islands, Tokara Islands, Amami Islands, Okinawa Islands, Miyako Islands, Yaeyama Islands, etc. Historically, the Ryukyu Islands have long been part of China's sphere of influence, and are now a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.

Due to its special geographical location, Ryukyu was used as a transit point for trade in Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia in later generations, and the trade was developed, and it was known as "Wanguo Jinliang".

In later generations, the U.S. military's Okinawa base, Kadena base, and Futenma base were even more famous, and Zhang Feng went to Ryukyu to hold the idea of establishing his own naval base in Ryukyu.

In the east, a red sun slowly rises and the morning sun shines on Naha Bay, where some local fishermen are preparing to go out to sea.

In the distance, a large fleet was heading towards the port of Naha, apparently preparing to dock at the port of Naha, and some eagle-eyed fishermen had already seen the fleet in the distance.

"What's that!"

"Oh my God, it's not going to be a pirate again!"

“……”

Because of the distance, it is not very real, and many fishermen still think that there are pirates visiting again, and they seem to be afraid, and some are even ready to escape.

Of course, this is Zhang Feng's fleet, which has sailed into Naha Bay after a day of sailing, and is heading towards Naha Port.

As the fleet approached, the distance was approaching, and the local fishermen on the dock had seen it clearly, and some of the old fishermen had even recognized the flags hoisted by the fleet.

"That's the Ming Dynasty Sailor!"

"It's not a pirate, it's a Ming Dynasty sailor!"

"I haven't seen the Ming Dynasty sailors for many years, I didn't think about it, they are coming, and they are such a huge fleet!"

Ryukyu was a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, the king was canonized by the Ming Dynasty, the official script was Chinese characters, many people wore Hanfu, the upper class of the Ryukyus were proud to be able to speak Chinese, Ryukyu also often paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and every new king ascended the throne and sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing that it was a Ming Dynasty sailor, the local fishermen on the dock were not very afraid, and did not leave, but with a curiosity, they stood on the dock and looked at the approaching fleet.

"You see, those ships don't have sails!"

"Yes, not only are there no sails, but they are all emitting black smoke, which is strange!"

“……”

These local fishermen had never seen steam-powered sea boats, not to mention that they had never heard of them, and they were all curious, as if they had seen something strange.

Steam-powered sea-going boats are a rarity for these local fishermen, who point at them curiously, or look around, or discuss.

Flagship command room.

Zhang Feng stood in the command room, looking at the Naha dock in the distance, and felt a burst of relief in his heart, Zhang Feng had already thought about resting in Naha for a few days.

"Lord Commander, that's Naha Port, it's just that the port is a little small, and we have so many ships that we can't all dock at the port."

Zhang Feng nodded and waved his hand: "Those pirate transport ships should not dock at the dock, anchor and dock nearby, our steam-powered sea ships try to dock at the dock, and if they can't dock, they will anchor and dock nearby." ”

Zhang Feng's steam-powered sea boats, a total of sixteen, slowly drove close to the wharf, began to dock at the wharf, originally there were some fishing boats docked next to the wharf, the owners of these fishing boats saw this, supported their fishing boats to run away quickly.

Just kidding, so many big ships are coming, where do these "little shrimps" dare to occupy the position of the dock, and naturally take the initiative to avoid it.

………

The capital of the Ryukyus, Shuri.

In later generations, Naha included Shuri, and at this time, Naha was just a small town, and Shuri was located northeast of Naha, which was not far away.

In the palace, the Ryukyu King was surprised and asked in disbelief, "Really, Daming Water Master?" Is it really a Daming water master? ”

A minister was reporting, "Your Royal Highness, it's really the Great Ming Sailor, and a total of twenty-four big ships (including the eight pirate transports captured) have come, all of them are big ships, and there are more than a dozen of the two thousand sea ships. ”

What a great sailor!

Where did the king of the Ryukyus dare to slack off, he immediately took a group of ministers and hurried towards Naha Port, this movement was a little big, people who don't know thought that something big had happened, in the impression of the locals, the king seems to have never been like this.
