"Hahahaha, I see. I also said, how can the Japanese be pirates while we are doing business? Zhang Mu said with a wry smile.

"That part of Japan is very poor and very small, and it is an island country. Earthquakes or typhoons hit them often, and the people there had a hard time living. Now that there is another war, many people can't stay in their own homes, so they simply run away to the sea to become pirates. Some of them were people sent directly by the shogunate who came here to rob, and it wasn't peaceful anyway.

Some time ago, we were looking for someone to do business there in Osaka, and it was always good. As a result, when we went back a few months ago, that guy was killed by his men. We are also very careful. The bald man laughed.

The old housekeeper said: "It's not too early, let's talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to say." ”

"Yes, yes, I was so happy that I almost forgot about my business. Then I'll send you away, and we'll trade here at noon tomorrow. So saying, the bald man took them away.

returned to Zhang Mu's boat, and after a few words of greeting, Yang Fan left.

At dawn, Zhang Mu and the others joined Li Yunchang's warship.

As soon as Zhang Mu got off the boat, Li Yunchang came out wearing a long robe, and when he saw Zhang Mu, he hurriedly asked, "Is the road going well?" ”

"Everything was fine. Originally, I thought it was Japanese, but I went to see it, and most of them were Han Chinese. They are all people who came to Nanyang to survive in order to escape the war. The ship is also wrecked, and I don't think it's a big problem. Zhang Mu said.

When Li Yunchang heard this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "I thought it was a widow, if this was the case, things would be much easier." ”

The two of them went to the cabin as they spoke, and immediately studied the strategic deployment for tomorrow.

――――――――――――――

The sea breeze is gusting, and the moon is bright and the stars are sparse in the sky.

There is an island outside Pumen, which is located on the southeast coast of Wenzhou, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian.

Locals call it Seven Star Island.

The scale of Seven Star Island is very small, and if you look at the map, it is just an insignificant small dot.

However. It has become another gathering place for pirates.

Over the years, it has become a port for pirate transit and is famous far and wide.

The fundamental reason why this place can be prosperous is its special geographical location.

Far enough from the coast that there is no fear of patrols by sailors at sea.

Secondly, it is located at the junction of Fujian and Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and belongs to the three-regardless zone.

At first, there were only a few fishermen who fled the war, but gradually it was controlled by the expatriates in the South Seas.

When the maritime trade was rolling forward, the natural geographical conditions and natural deep-water ports here became a gathering place for sea bandits.

Wen Desheng was on a fishing boat at the moment, and had just gone to sea from Pumen.

Looking back at the distant continent. I was sad and angry in my heart, and I was desperate, especially when I thought that the Wen family building would collapse in the future, and my relatives were afraid that none of them would have a good end, and my heart was like a knife.

Now that I have gone, it is not a year to return to my hometown, and a thousand flavors have come to my heart, and I can't help but cry.

There was only one man in his forties on the fishing boat. He has dark skin and a short stature, but he has a beard and is very rough.

His name is Zhou Bin. It was the head of the Wen family's firm in Binh Duong.

Wen Desheng was like a lost dog, and finally found him overnight.

The Wen family had a life-saving grace for Zhou Bin, and after Zhou Bin knew about it, he sent a letter to the Wen family. While escorting Wen Desheng away.

The oars hit the sea, and the ocean in the distance stretched as far as the eye could see, and the waves were gusting. Listening to Wen Desheng hugging his head and crying, Zhou Bin didn't feel a good feeling in his heart.

What a beautiful scenery the Wen family is, Zhou Bin has seen it with his own eyes, and now he thinks about it with his thumb and knows that the Wen family is about to face a catastrophe, and he is also embarrassed for a while.

"Young owner, don't be sad, who doesn't have a time when you step high and go low? How can it be said that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, our family has a big business, and if it is not seen, it will be a failure. Those big officials in Hangzhou did not take less money from us, as long as you are alive, there is still hope for the Wen family. Zhou Bin comforted.

Wen Desheng wiped his tears and said hoarsely: "That bastard surnamed Zhao, Lao Tzu has a lifetime, and the official wants him to survive, and he can't survive." ”

That's right, as the saying goes, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Taking advantage of the fact that the officers and soldiers did not make a move, I have asked the men to transfer our industry and finesse tightly. You take refuge in Seven Star Island, where I have a few friends. When this gust of wind has passed, let's start all over again. Zhou Bin said with a smile.

Wen Desheng nodded.

Zhou Bin continued: "Back then, your grandfather was the home of a fishing boat. We now want money, money, and people. It won't be harder than it was then. ”

Wen Desheng took a deep breath, and his mind went from being blank and resentful to gradually regaining his senses.

"Who are the people on Seven Star Island?" Wen Desheng asked.

"Didn't the owner tell me last time that Ma Bald has been pressing prices more and more fiercely over the years. Want to find a new match? It just so happened that I once bumped into the leader of the Nansha Gang in a restaurant. At that time, both of us had a crush on a kiln sister. The face of the fight is red. Later, there was a big fight.

Isn't this a no-fight no-acquaintance? After that time, I got to know him. Later, I learned that he had met the owner and had always wanted to do business with the owner. Since then, they have become good friends. For more than a year, I also took some seafood from him. Although the quantity is small, the workmanship is not as good as that of the bald man. I was going to wait for this time and go to you to sum it up, but I didn't expect something to happen. Zhou Bin said.

"Nansha Gang?" Wen Desheng asked curiously.

There are countless gangs doing this kind of business in Nanyang, and he has no impression.

"It's just that once you were trading in Nanlu Mountain, and suddenly a group of people were killed. They are the members of the Nansha Gang. Zhou Bin explained.

"It turned out to be them. What's that gang leader of theirs called? Wen Desheng asked.

"Li Fuyu. At first, he also followed Zhang Shicheng to fight the world. Later, Zhang Shicheng was defeated, and he fled to the sea with his subordinates. This man is still reliable. Zhou Bin said with a smile.

Wen Desheng said: "It turned out to be him." ”

"We don't know each other here. All you have to do is take refuge on the island first. I'll take care of things on the shore. On that isolated island, birds don't. Officers and soldiers never go. Where did the Li gang leader and his brothers live. The conditions were difficult though. But in the end it is safer than on land. Zhou Bin explained.

"That's fine. After you send me, remember to keep an eye on the Wen family's movements. Whatever happens, find a way to inform me. If the conditions are right, get a few more ships. If we can save one, count one. Wen Desheng said.

"Don't worry, I'll do my best." Zhou Bin said. (To be continued......)
