Chapter 395: Lost
Watanabe Village's words made Tang Ming speechless for a moment, but he felt that he was wronged by Watanabe Murako's words like this, and he suddenly didn't know where to distinguish if he wanted to distinguish it. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info fact that he did show others, although they themselves sent it to him to see, but if you see it, you can see it, and no matter how you justify it, you have seen it.
Tang Ming's mind had a feeling of confusion, he shook his head slightly, he immediately turned around and left, in the face of this kind of inexplicable thing, his only choice was to dodge.
Watanabe Village knew that Tang Ming could no longer be pressed at this time, so he also smiled lightly, and then carried his luggage to find a place to live.
The night was peaceful, and as soon as the morning dawned, the Watanabe patriarch came with a few elders to see him off, and when he saw his daughter standing next to Tang Ming, the old guy smiled very contentedly. As soon as his daughter came home last night, she mentioned to him that she wanted to follow Tang Ming, and the old guy was reluctant at first, until Watanabe revealed her relationship with Tang Ming, and the old guy relented, and after consulting with several closest elders, he agreed to his daughter's request.
The old guy's wishful thinking was nothing more than Tang Ming's flintlock pistols, and the high cost of bullets and barrels obviously limited the Watanabe family's dependence on flintlock pistols. Those fifty flintlock pistols were now only used as a weapon for an assault soldier, so the flintlock pistols that had been purchased at great cost were no useful deterrent.
Yesterday, when the old fellow had obtained the flintlock pistol, he went back to his house and summoned the most skilled blacksmiths, and after showing them the skill of the flintlock pistol, he asked if he could make a copy of it. As a result, he was greatly disappointed, he did not have the skill of making a flintlock pistol, and he would agree that his daughter would follow Tang Ming without any name, and the purpose was to make a flintlock pistol, which was his only request to Watanabe Village.
In addition to the Watanabe patriarch came to see him off, the Fujian Maritime Chamber of Commerce also came with more than a dozen representatives of maritime merchants, and after the embarrassment of the elder last time, he no longer dared to have any doubts about Tang Ming, and the facts also proved Tang Ming's statement. After the Watanabe family got the flintlock pistol, its strength did not increase at all, after all, there were only fifty flintlock pistols, and it posed no threat to anyone.
After casually being polite to everyone, Tang Ming got on the ship with a confession, loaded with iron ore, silver, and many captives of the grass mustard family. Amid the cheers of the sailors, the fleet gradually left the port of Nagasaki and sailed out into the middle of the sea.
On the other side of the sea, more than a dozen shabby-looking ships drifted aimlessly, connected by thick hemp ropes. There was no one on board, not even a sailor, which looked very strange. Zhu Yong lay on his stomach at the exit of the cabin, his eyes kept looking at the sea in the distance, but he muttered dissatisfiedly: "Grandma, why didn't anyone come to attack our idea?" ”
Behind him, Li Ba carried a pot of wine and took a sip from time to time, and pouted when he heard the words: "I told you a long time ago, if this bad idea doesn't work, you just won't listen." Two days have been wasted here, and not even a ghost or a man can be seen, and it seems to me that we should go to some of the waterways where maritime merchants often hang out, rather than wait for the rabbit where the bird does not lay eggs. ”
Since the two guys attacked the pirates in the early hours of that morning, they pulled ten ships and more than 300 captives into the deep sea. Two days later, they took in more than 200 captives, and those who did not want to accept the recruitment were killed by them and thrown directly into the sea to feed the fish. When everything was in place and they wanted to return, they found that they had lost their way at sea.
After three days of sailing, they found a small island, but when they went up they found it to be a deserted island, fortunately with fresh water and a large woodland, and after a short rest there, they set out to find their way back. The day before yesterday, they met some maritime merchants at sea, but because of the language barrier, they couldn't ask for directions, and the two sides were also very nervous when they met, and in the end they even fought.
Zhu Yong was so angry that he robbed the merchant ship, and after killing the leader of the ship, he added it to his fleet, after which he proposed that Li Ba and he continue to wait here to see if there were any maritime merchants who had passed here, but two days had passed without any ships passing here.
Zhu Yong was already in a bad mood, and when he saw that Li Ba was still talking cool words on the side, he came to sit down opposite him with a swelling of anger, grabbed another wine bottle and poured it down. Wiping his mouth casually with his sleeve, he said coldly: "What you are saying is all nonsense, to the waterway where there are often maritime merchants to rob the disaster, you should tell me where we should go now to find the waterway that is often infested by maritime merchants." ”
Li Ba was mentioned by Zhu Yong, and only then did he remember that they didn't know this sea area at all now, let alone where they were at the moment. But he was still not convinced, and after a little hesitation, he defended himself and said, "Didn't we catch some maritime merchants?" Just ask them! ”
The more Li Ba spoke, the more he felt empty-hearted, although the frightened merchant ship was finally returned to his fleet by Zhu Yong, and he had no right to ask about those captives, but he still understood the matter, and the problem of language barrier made their hopes shattered again. There are no captives, but no valuable information can be obtained from them.
Zhu Yong kept sneering, and from Li Ba's expression at the moment, he already knew that this guy was just holding his mouth hard. Seeing that Zhu Yong ignored himself, with a stinky face and didn't know what he was thinking, Li Ba knew that he was at a loss, and in order to ease the atmosphere, he smiled casually: "Then what do you say we should do?" We can't stay here any longer, the food on the ship won't last a few days, and if we can't find a place where it's populated, we'll all have to go back to that desert island and gnaw on the bark. ”
"Alas!"
Zhu Yong suddenly let out a sigh, frowned and said, "If you really can't do it, you can only fight once, and those captives slowly find a way to pry open their mouths." And at the same time we are going in the direction from which they came, to see if we can find anything, and if we are lucky, we may be able to return to the populated area. ”
Li Ba rarely agreed with Zhu Yong once, without any confrontation or questioning, and accepted Zhu Yong's proposal with a smile. After the two discussed some details again, Zhu Yong personally tried to find a way to let the captives who did not understand the language lead the way for them. Li Ba, on the other hand, began to arrange for the fleet to move in the direction in which the merchant ships came, and after staying in this area for two days, the fleet set sail again.
