Chapter 58: Zheng Yiguan
At this time, there are three kinds of ships that can appear here, one is their peers, this is to go back to their lair, maybe their lair is on the island of Taiwan!
The second type of people were the maritime merchants from the south, who wanted to go to the Ryukyus to trade and take a shortcut through here, trying to avoid the waterways to the east of Taiwan, and ended up running into them.
The third is the fishermen in this area, go to sea to fish, but this possibility is not very large, fishermen are generally fishing in the offshore waters, and at this time they are almost going back, and the sea can not be effectively preserved, so that the fishermen can not go to sea for too long.
It's only March, but it's already hot, so the third one may be largely non-existent, and the only ones left are the first two.
For the first two kinds of people, Yu Xiaotian, the pirate leader, doesn't mind beating rabbits with grass and taking the opportunity to get a handful, whether he can catch them today, let them run away, what he needs now is to find a target to practice his hands, and see how well his subordinates are at night when they act at sea.
So Yu Xiaotian bared his teeth and walked to the side of the boat, looked into the distance, and shouted, "Little ones! We've got a job to do today! Catch that boat for me, and show me what you're capable of! Tell the order to go down, all of them, put down the boat behind you, and speed up to catch up! ”
The sea wolf's subordinates screamed excitedly on the boat, they have no possibility of failure, but now it is getting dark, whether they can catch the boat or not, it depends on their ability, once it gets dark, if they can't bite the boat, then today they will be embarrassed in front of the big boss Yu Xiaotian.
Therefore, the captains of the six boats were full of energy, and began to greet the sailors under them with their hands, and they turned the rudder one after another, and according to Yu Xiaotian's order, they raised the whole sail and began to speed up in the direction of the incoming ship.
The small boats towed behind each boat also untied their cables and let them go, and some people stayed in the small boats to operate the small boats, and the big boats moved together and pounced in the direction of the right.
When the sea wolf fleet turned around and pounced, the boat also spotted them, and when the situation was not good, they immediately turned downwind and tried to escape.
But their lead had already been lost, and by the time they turned to pull the sails and accelerated, the fleet of the sea wolves was already approaching it.
In the Taiwan Strait at dusk, a good show of wolf hunting was immediately staged, and the boats of the six sea wolves were spread out in a fan, and they accelerated with full sails together, enveloping the passing sea ship like a net.
The unfortunate ship ran desperately like a frightened bird, trying to avoid the hunt of the sea wolves, and the time passed quickly, and the sky became darker and darker, and if the boat could not be caught before it was completely dark, then the sea wolf hunt would have basically ended in failure.
In the night, as long as the ship extinguishes all the lights, it can quickly disappear into the night, with the current technical conditions, in the absence of searchlights, let alone any radar, trying to capture the ship at sea at night is basically like looking for a needle in a haystack.
So the only chance for the sea wolf is to at least bite the ship before it gets dark and surround it so that it can't escape.
After a chase, seeing that the sky had already darkened, the sea wolves finally succeeded in surrounding the fleeing ship, so that there was no chance of escape.
With a few cannon shots, several six-pounder shells flew across the sea, and the shells landed in front of the bow of the ship, stirring up waves on the sea.
When the people on that boat saw this situation, they knew that it was impossible to escape from the round-up of these people today, and the first few cannons just now were not actually the other side could not hit them, but they were shooting at them in a warning way, ordering them to drop the sails and stop the boat, if they did not stop the boat, then the next round of shelling would not be so cheap.
In the face of the huge disparity between the enemy and the enemy, the people on this ship made a wise choice and obediently lowered the sails and slowly stopped the ship.
The sea wolf did not continue to be violent against it, and after approaching it, he quickly boarded the ship to control the ship, and drove all the people on board to the bow of the ship, guarded them at the bow, and began to check the supplies on the ship.
There were two guns on this ship, both of which were not of large caliber, and they both belonged to the category of bowl-mouth guns, which were erected in the bow and stern of the ship respectively, but because of the huge disparity in strength, they did not dare to fire back just now, so both guns became decorations at this time.
Yu Xiaotian was satisfied with the hunt, although it was a hunting operation that was completed before dark, and it did not allow him to test the cooperation of his subordinates at night, but this result still made him satisfied.
The boat that I grabbed belonged to the small Fu ship, which was close to the kind of Cangshan Iron that was often said, and was a sea ship that was more suitable for long-distance sailing, and it did not have the clumsiness of a large Fu ship, but it had a strong ability to resist strong winds and waves.
After inventory, there are a lot of copper coins of the Ming Dynasty among the materials on the ship, as well as some spices and lacquerware produced in Guangdong and Fujian, and then there are some exquisite porcelain, and a lot of weapons and gunpowder were found on the ship.
Through these materials, the identity of this ship can basically be determined, and the owner of this ship must also be a maritime merchant who is also a thief and a businessman, while doing business at sea, while taking advantage of the situation to do some robbery and robbery business at sea, so their identity is basically the same as that of the sea wolf.
Just when Xiaotian was about to order the boat to take people into his pocket, someone reported to Yu Xiaotian, saying that on the captured ship, there was a young man who wanted to meet him and said that he had something to talk to Yu Xiaotian.
Yu Xiaotian was a little interested in this, at this time, the people on this boat were still in the mood to meet him, and he heard that the shopkeeper of this boat was a very young person, so he was idle anyway, and while ordering the fleet to take the boat and continue to hurry, he ordered the young shopkeeper of the boat to be brought to his seat.
A young man of medium stature and appearance should be quite handsome in terms of the aesthetics of people in this era, and he was taken to the Sea Wolf ship of Yu Xiaotian after a short time.
Yu Xiaotian looked at this young man, and saw that he looked good, with a burly body, broad shoulders, and a steady step, and knew that this person was also a practitioner, and he must have a little kung fu at hand, and his strength was not too small, he didn't look like a businessman, but he was a little heroic.
He sat on the chair and watched the young man approach, and when the young man saw Yu Xiaotian, he showed a look of surprise, and also looked Yu Xiaotian up and down.
"In Xia Zheng Yiguan, I have seen this master! Dare to ask, what do you call a hero? ”
(This is where the history of the bulls begins!) What's next? I'm going to think about it! )
