"Look, my lord, someone is waving. {d} {u} {0} {0}. {c} {c}" Just as Li Yuntian was staring at the ships that were sailing over, Lei Ting pointed to the two leading cargo ships on the opposite side and said to Li Yuntian.

Li Yuntian had already noticed that there were some people standing on the decks of the two cargo ships, jumping up and down and waving their hands there, not knowing what they were talking about because of the distance.

"Give the order to go down, and all the ships will attack." Faced with this somewhat strange scene in front of him, Li Yuntian groaned for a moment and gave an order to Luo Hai.

"Lord Commander, the other party's intentions are unclear, so it is not appropriate to act rashly." Luo Hai was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed down and said loudly to Li Yuntian.

Naval warfare is not as good as land warfare, because the ships shuttle on the sea, so it is difficult to control the whereabouts of the enemy ships, and the number of enemy ships on the opposite side is equal to the number of ships on the Mingding, if the enemy ships pass through the defense line of the warships to attack the Mingding, then the consequences are unimaginable.

Don't look at the huge hull of the Mingding, and the hull is also equipped with a thick anti-collision deck, if those enemy ships use fire attack, it will bring great trouble to the Mingding, which is related to Li Yuntian's safety, how dare Luo Hai take risks.

"If the official didn't guess wrong, the two ships in front are civilian smuggling ships, followed by pirate ships, although the people on those two ships violated the Ming Dynasty's maritime ban, but after all, they are my Ming people, how can they not be saved?"

Li Yuntian knew Luo Hai's worries, and said quietly, "Those pirates are just seeking money, and they will inevitably be scared back when they see our army putting on a decisive battle." ”

Seeing that Li Yuntian had made up his mind, Luo Hai had no choice but to give an order to the flag soldiers on the lookout, and with this order, the Mingding fleet quickly changed its formation, and lined up in two rows on the sea, with the warships in the front row, and the Mingding and grain ships in the back, and the boats, heading towards the ships in front.

Under Li Yuntian's gaze, the ships on the opposite side reacted quickly, except for the two leading cargo ships, those ships following behind slowed down and slowly stopped.

Then the ships turned their bows and sped away in the direction they had come.

Luo Hai immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, it seemed that Li Yuntian was right, the people on the pirate ship did not want to fight with the Mingding fleet, so when the Mingding fleet put on a decisive battle posture, the pirates were scared away by the momentum of the fleet

The Mingding fleet then stopped, and the four warships headed towards the two cargo ships, firmly surrounding them in the middle.

The men on the two cargo ships did not resist, obediently stopped the ship according to the orders of the sergeant on the ship, and knelt on the deck with their hands raised.

The sergeants on the ship quickly boarded the two cargo ships, Li Yuntian had guessed correctly, these two ships were indeed smuggling ships, and the cabins were full of spices, dyes, precious stones, ivory and other items traded from the South Seas.

"Xiaomin Mountain Yuan Dao knocked to see the adult, thank the adult for saving his life." Not long after, a middle-aged man with a mustache at the corners of his mouth and wearing a Japanese uniform was taken into Li Yuntian's cabin by several Xiaowu soldiers, knelt on the ground and saluted Li Yuntian with a nervous expression, and said in a half-baked Jiangnan dialect.

In addition to Li Yuntian, there were Luo Hai and Liang Shaojie, the right deputy chief soldier of the counterinsurgency, and the two sat in Li Yuntian's lower seat on the left and right, and Lei Ting stood behind Li Yuntian.

"Yamashita Yuandao, are you guilty?" Li Yuntian glanced at Yamashita Yuandao coldly, and asked quietly, he was sure that Yamashita Yuandao used a pseudonym, and he was a Japanese who was impersonated to prevent others from finding out his lineage, otherwise with the strength of the Japanese people, he would not be able to trade with the Nanyang countries at all.

"The little people are terrified, and they don't know where the sin comes from." Hearing this, Yamashita Yuandao suddenly broke out in a cold sweat running down his cheeks, and pretended to look at Li Yuntian calmly.

"Do you know the sea ban of the Ming Dynasty?" Li Yuntian couldn't help but sneer when he saw Yamashita Yuandao pretending to be stupid there, and stared at him with his eyes like torches.

"My lord, the small people know this decree of the Ming Dynasty, but the small people are not the Ming people, and the laws of your country do not apply to the small people." Yamashita Motomichi laughed and explained seriously.

"You tell the officer, where are you going to send the goods on the ship?" Li Yuntian saw that Yuandao was still quibbling under the mountain, his eyes flashed coldly, and he looked at him with a cold expression, "If you think about it, this official doesn't believe that the people on your two ships are monolithic!" ”

"Gift...... My lord, the small people are guilty, and the small people want to transport the goods on the ship to Ningbo and trade with the merchants of your country. Yamashita Yuandao's face became very ugly when he heard this, he knew very well that the destination of the goods could not be hidden, he touched the ground with his head, and begged Li Yuntian for mercy in a loud voice, "Please forgive me." ”

"Humph!" Seeing this, Li Yuntian snorted coldly, and looked at the mountain Yuan Dao meaningfully, "According to my Daming law, whoever is engaged in smuggling trade, regardless of the head and subordinate, is connected to the nine clans, how do you say this official will let you go?" ”

"The adults forgive their sins, and the small people have already realized their mistakes, so they will transport the goods to Ryukyu and no longer trade with the merchants of the Ming Dynasty." When Yamashita Yuandao heard the words "Zhulian Nine Clans", his face turned pale in an instant, and he knew that Li Yuntian was doubting his identity, so he hurriedly said in a loud voice.

"Ryukyu?" Li Yuntian saw that Yamashita Yuandao was panicked, a subtle smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, and he looked at Yamashita Yuandao coldly.

"Xiaomin just transited in the Ryukyus, and then shipped the goods back to China and sold them domestically." Yamashita Motomichi only remembered that the Ryukyus were only a hundred miles in radius, and the population was only hundreds of thousands, so where could he afford to consume his two ships of goods, so he quickly changed his words and said, "returning to China" naturally meant returning to the Wa country.

Li Yuntian didn't speak when he heard this, he just stared at Yamashita Yuandao with a cold expression, he knew very well that Yamashita Yuandao was lying, except for the fact that the Wa Kingdom was going to experience the sea area where pirates were prevalent this time, he didn't think that Yamashita Yuandao would choose this dangerous road, and with the current consumption power of the Wa Kingdom, this grain ship and valuables would not be sold until the Year of the Monkey.

"My lord, Xiaomin's life was saved by adults, and Xiaomin is willing to send these two ships of goods to adults." Yamashita Yuandao was panicked by Li Yuntian's eyes, and then he thought of something, raised his head and said to Li Yuntian with a flattering face, ready to bribe Li Yuntian with these two ships of goods to buy a way out.

After all, you can make more money after the money is gone, and it is not worth losing your life.

Hearing this, Luo Hai and Liang Shaojie looked at Li Yuntian together, although Li Yuntian raised enough military funds in Yangzhou, but who would show more money?

In fact, not only did Li Yuntian see that Yamashita Yuandao, a Japanese man, was fake, but Luo Hai and Liang Shaojie also saw that he was pretending to be a Ming person, and his purpose was naturally to close down the chilling "Zhulian Nine Clans" of the Forbidden Sea Order.

Therefore, even if Li Yuntian confiscates the goods of Shanxia Yuandao, then it is a logical thing, anyway, these goods will be confiscated by the government sooner or later, it is better to cheapen the martial arts hall, in the final analysis, the martial arts hall is also the yamen of the imperial court.

"I heard that your country is now in a time of war, and I guess these goods can't be sold."

Li Yuntian saw that Yamashita Yuandao wanted to bribe him, and his face couldn't help but show a hint of a smile, what he was waiting for was Yamashita Yuandao's words, and after a while, he said, "Since this official saved you at sea, then naturally I won't see you lose all your money, so it's better to sell it to this official." ”

"Commander Luo, you have someone count the goods on those two ships and give him a reasonable price, so as not to make him run empty, after all, he also has a family to support."

As he spoke, Li Yuntian looked at Luo Hai, who was sitting at the top of the seat, and ordered in a deep voice, deliberately accentuating the pronunciation on "one family".

Yamashita Yuandao was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Li Yuntian in disbelief, he was ready to dedicate these two ships of goods to Li Yuntian, but he didn't expect Li Yuntian to offer to buy those two ships of goods, so he thought he had heard it wrong, when did the people in the government become so easy to talk to?

Luo Hai and Liang Shaojie were also taken aback, they never imagined that Li Yuntian would handle this matter like this, in the eyes of the two, Li Yuntian could get these two ships of goods for nothing.

"Obedience." Although it was a little difficult to understand Li Yuntian's intentions, but the military order was like a mountain, Luo Hai immediately got up, bowed his hand at Li Yuntian, bowed down and said.

Some of the entourage that Luo Hai brought with him this time were in charge of trading with the local residents when Zheng He went to the West, so they knew the value of the two ships of goods in Yamashita Yuandao.

"Xiaomin has thanked the adult, and the adult is really Xiaomin's reborn parents." It was only at this time that Yamashita Yuandao reacted, Li Yuntian was not joking, what he said before was true, and he hurriedly kowtowed to Li Yuntian, looking a little excited, otherwise he really didn't know how to explain to those who paid a deposit to order from him.

"Get up!" Li Yuntian raised his hand upwards at Shanxia Yuandao, and after getting up, he said quietly, "Your two ships of goods belong to foreign goods, if you want to enter the market of Daming, you must go through the city shipping department, this official wants to go to Guangxi, through the Guangzhou city shipping department in Guangdong, are you willing to go south with this official." ”

"Yes, yes, Xiaomin willing." Yamashita Yuandao didn't want to think about it when he heard this, and nodded there again and again, since Li Yuntian was willing to go to Guangzhou City, then he indicated that he would take the normal route, which meant that Li Yuntian would return the two ships of goods to the public, so his interests would naturally be protected.

Seeing this, Li Yuntian waved his hand to Yamashita Yuandao, and Yamashita Yuandao retreated with great gratitude, in order to prevent him from escaping, he was fortunate to be placed on the Mingding, and the personnel accompanying the fleet also boarded the two cargo ships and controlled them.

With the protection of the Dingyuan fleet, Yamashita Yuandao's hanging heart was finally relaxed, and he no longer had to worry about those pirates.

He was curious now, and he didn't know who the young man he saw today who was the young man who commanded the fleet, wearing a black military uniform that he had never seen before, and he looked heroic.

What particularly surprised Yamashita Motomichi was that this young adult, unlike the Ming officials he had seen before, was unmoved by the two ships of goods, which was really rare.

Moreover, this young adult had obviously seen through his details but did not say anything, which made Yamashita Yuandao confused, and he didn't know why Li Yuntian did this.!^!
