Niu Dao Hui said: "This old nest of the Japanese is naturally familiar. Now there are only some disabled widows left in Kang Lao's village. Because at the beginning of the year, the Japanese Kang Lao conspired with several pirates to rob Fuzhou Mansion in Fujian, and did not want to meet Yu Dayou, a thousand households in Fujian, and the Yu family army of King Yu Long. After a fight, the Japanese were defeated and lost, with heavy casualties, and more than half of the casualties of the Kang Lao Department were almost wiped out. Kang Lao returned to Fusang to gather the prodigal son, intending to make a comeback. It's just that now that Kang Lao is dead, the Kang Lao Department on Dongfan Island is only thirty or fifty disabled, so there is nothing to be afraid of. ”

Niu Dao Hui is also a clever person, and when he heard this, he actually knew Wu Tianxiao's thoughts somewhat, so he hurriedly flattered: "If Wu Ye wants to destroy the Kang Lao Ministry, it is best to take advantage of the fact that the Japanese Kou elsewhere do not know that Kang Lao is dead." The villain is willing to lead the way, although Kang Lao's treasure land and possessions are not much, they should be three or five times more than the treasures on the ship. ”

Only then did Wu Tianxiao comfort Niu Daojuni: "Okay." If you can take us to exterminate the remnants of Kang Lao this time, then you will also share some of the seized money and food. As long as you do things for me with peace of mind in the future, you will always be able to live better than being a fake widow. ”

At this time, Niu Dao Hui knew that the Wu Ye in front of him was going to use himself, and climbed up the pole to flatter: "Those widows are not individuals, I am desperately waiting for them, and I just change my livelihood." If he hadn't been arrested in the first place, who would have wanted to do something for the Wako in order to survive..."

Wu Tianxiao interrupted: "Okay, okay." If you do a good job, you'll lead the way in the future. When the remnants of Kang Lao are eliminated this time, this cleaning and sanitation work will be handed over to others to do, and you will be given a fixed income every month. But if you dare to have two hearts, you will be scraped alive. ”

Niu Dao Hui said happily: "Thank you, Master Wu." The villain set to make cattle and horses for Wu Ye. ”

Wu Tianxiao motioned to Jiang Zhuang: "Untie his iron chains." Jiang Zhuang then took out the key on his body and untied the chain locked on the feet of the ox knife juniper.

Wu Tianxiao then summoned all the crew members to assemble and said to everyone: "Everyone. I have gathered you here today to say one thing, and that is the way out for you in the future. Now you are all landless people, but we need to live, we need food. The match factory can only let women and children do it, which cannot feed everyone. If you want to live, you have to fight for your life. Now that we don't have much to eat, we have to find a way out. What is this way out, that is the sea route. Don't look at the rough sea, in fact, if you make a living on this sea route, it is a great future. So. I let you train with your captains Jiang Zhuang and Jia Youshi every day, just so that one day, you can have the ability to make a living by sea and find a good future for yourself. ”

Wu Tianxiao looked at everyone and continued: "There are only a few kinds of livelihoods on the sea route. One is fishing, of course, but fishing is not only a blessing, but also difficult to make ends meet. Some of you are fishermen, and they are the most fortunate to have no way out of fishing. Besides, we are all strong men, and we can't waste this physical strength. Therefore, in addition to fishing, there is another way out is to run shipping and become a maritime businessman. Pity. Now that the imperial court is forbidden from the sea, it is difficult to go to the sea, not to mention that a large amount of silver is needed to be a maritime merchant. We are even in a hurry to eat now, how can we have the money to make a living. So even if we want to be a maritime businessman, we will have to wait until we have the capital in the future. Again. That is to do that business without roots, and what is not good to say is robbery at sea, that is piracy, but pirates will also be surrounded by officials and soldiers. So how do you want to rob it, and you can not be afraid of being chased by the officials and soldiers, and still have merit? Very simple. That is to kill the pirates, and we will rob the pirates. ”

When they heard that they were going to deal with the Japanese invaders, most of them whispered and talked about it, and their faces were afraid. However, there was still a small part that said: "Master Wu." You saved this life, and without you we would have starved to death. We did it with you. "It's rare, but it's still there.

Wu Tianxiao continued: "I know that some people are scared when they hear about the Japanese Invaders, let alone rob the Wolves, but in fact, there is nothing to be afraid of the Wolves. You know, the ship you are on now was captured by me and the villagers from the Japanese Kou. Do you know that killing the Japanese is not only not guilty, but also meritorious, and there is a lot of money to take, as well as food. Most of the food you eat these days is what we have stolen from the Japanese invaders.

"Everyone has heard of the heroes of Liangshan in the Water Margin, what we have to do is like the heroes of Liangshan to do the right thing for heaven. We don't have Liangshan Shuibo, and we can't be heroes of Liangshan, so we will be heroes of the East China Sea. We killed the pirates, robbed them of their money and food, drank wine in large bowls, and ate meat in large chunks. Don't be afraid, the pirates are just a bunch of pirates with knives. We also have knives, and as long as we are more fierce than the Japanese Invaders, we will be able to defeat the Wolves, rob the Wolves of their money and food, and dig up their treasures. And we don't just have knives, we have weapons that are more powerful than knives. I'll show you the power of the weapons in our hands. ”

Saying that, Wu Tianxiao led everyone to the beach, and asked people to bring a lot of wooden stakes and stand on the beach one by one. Then he called Jiang Zhuang, Jia Youshi, etc., and more than a dozen people who had been trained for a long time demonstrated the power of bamboo grenades. When the bamboo grenade blew up the stakes on the beach and shattered them, everyone was shocked and excited.

Wu Tianxiao took the opportunity to shout loudly: "Did you see it?" No matter how powerful the wolf is, it is also fleshy, this wooden stake can be blown away by us dozens of steps away, and the wolf is just holding a three-foot knife, where is our opponent. ”

Someone in the crowd excitedly shouted: "Kill the widows, grab money and food." ”

"Follow Wu Ye to kill the widows, grab money and grain, eat meat in large pieces, and drink wine in big bowls."

"Kill the pirates, rob money and food. followed Wu Ye to kill the Japanese and rob money and grain. Eat meat in large pieces and drink wine in large bowls. "Morale was boosted by success.

When everyone saw the power of the grenade, the power of the grenade replaced the fear of the Japanese in everyone's hearts. For the sake of money and food, everyone is eager to try.

After successfully boosting the morale of the crew, Wu Tianxiao led everyone to step up training. He called in a craftsman to make a 360-degree dial, fixed a military compass on the dial, marked the east and west diameters, and finally fixed it on the sea boat. And on the deck was a Gui watch. (Guibiao is an instrument used by ancient Chinese to determine direction and calculate time by using sunlight to appear different shadows at different times.) ）

In order to be more familiar with the operation of sea ships, Wu Tianxiao also led everyone to Ningbo Mansion to buy supplies. All the way, the sea boat swung left and right, along the coastline, and finally sailed around Putuo Mountain to the Zhoushan Wharf outside Zhoushan County. With the sailing of sea vessels, the speed along the way is many times faster than that of the land route.

After arriving at the county seat, Wu Tianxiao summoned the military households who were nominally his subordinates in the Baihu Office and explained that he was going to strangle the Japanese and seize money and grain. Unfortunately, seven or eight out of ten military households are reluctant to take risks. Wu Tianxiao didn't force it, and in the end he just took Chen Minxin, Wu Dayou, Chen Minzhi, Yang Hongju and a dozen other military families who were willing to fight for a future to return to the sea boat.

At this time, Wu Tianxiao's subordinates could lead Jiang Zhuang, Jia Youshi, Chen Minxin, Wu Dayou, Chen Minzhi, Yang Hongju and other six people. Wu Tianxiao asked them to choose fifty people each to be his subordinates. And the original dozen or so people who had been trained and killed the Japanese were also promoted to ten chiefs.

That's it. The ship set sail again, following the original route of transporting displaced people across the sea, to Ningbo to buy supplies. By the way, he spent money from Chen Qianhe to buy the banner and official introduction of the Daming Water Division. With these two things, Wu Tianxiao's sea ship has an identity, and he is not afraid of meeting the Daming sailor.

The supplies not only bought grain and vegetables, but also filled with a large amount of fresh water. At the same time, Wu Tianxiao also bought a lead strip, planning to melt it into a thin strip, and then wrap and glue it with a wooden strip to make a pencil. I bought rice paper, wooden rulers, triangular rulers and other utensils to prepare for making nautical charts.
