Under the August sun, two boats are chasing the turbid eastern ocean. (The fastest update speed is in the Aishang Novel Network biquge.info) the one in front of the running is a common flat-bottomed sand boat in the Eastern Ocean, and the boat in the back is full of oars and sails, so the speed is better. Seeing that the boat behind was getting closer and closer, the sand boat, which could not escape at his own expense, suddenly slapped the rudder and fled in the direction of land, but accidentally rushed onto the sandbar that was not under the water, and suddenly couldn't move.

Listening to the cry in the wind, Liu Ling's eyes flashed with a sharp light: "Be careful, don't fold ourselves in." ”

With these words, the galleys did not immediately approach, but stopped, and cautiously probed in. Looking at the approaching pirate ship, several sailors with good water skills jumped into the sea holding wooden pieces, and with their ability, it was not a problem to swim seven or eight miles to land with floating gear. But what they could do was not what most of the people on the ship could do, so the cries of women and children, the old and weak, became more and more high-pitched.

In the cry, the two wet figures climbed onto the sand boat, and when they saw their arrival, the people on the boat were so frightened that they were silent, which made the two of them quite proud: "Straight mother, why don't you cry?" ”

Watching the two pirates tie the ropes around their waists to the two masts separately, several of the passengers on board suddenly realized: "They are going to drag the ship out of the sandbar so that they can send more people on board to kill us." Fathers, we can't wait for death! Kill them, kill them! ”

The hysterical passengers rushed up with their teeth and fists to fight with the pirates, and at once overwhelmed the two men with weapons, but before they could cut the ropes they were pulling, they suddenly shook the hull and turned into a rolling hoist, and they were horrified to find that the ship had begun to move outward.

The few men who knew that it was not good tried to cut the ropes with iron tools, but the coarse linen that had eaten enough water was as strong as fine iron, and it was not something they could deal with in a hurry, and when they finally cut off both of them, the ship was already floating on the free sea again.

The huge iron claws quickly connected the two ships, and a group of pirates jumped in the blink of an eye, and quickly took control of the entire sand ship.

Immediately, the pirates carried the two people who had boarded the ship before and reported to Liu Ling: "Big brother, the fourth brother and Du Mazi were knocked unconscious by them. ”

"What big brother, how many times have you said it, call it an adult." Liu Ling glared at the group of thieves. "We are the official army, the official army of the Ming Dynasty." Speaking of this, Liu Ling pointed to the fourth and the second. "Pour some water to sober them up." A bucket of seawater was poured on it, and the two of them opened their eyes vaguely, and they seemed to be cursing and swearing something, Liu Ling waved his hand. "It's no big deal, send them back first." After this little episode, Liu Ling stood in front of the men and women on the boat. "Who injured my subordinates just now, stand up, and stand up for Lao Tzu." The crowd cringed inward. "No one admits it, does it?"

Liu Ling sneered, then walked up to a young man, grabbed him by the throat and dragged him out. The young man seemed to have two companions, and when he saw that the shape was not good, he was ready to go out to rob people, but he was swept away by Liu Ling's gaze and retreated on the spot.

"Boy, I just seemed to say what you said Mu Guan, what's the matter, are you not convinced that Lao Tzu claims to be a Ming official?"

As soon as he said this, the people on the ship noticed the pirates' hair buns, some of them were bald, and some of them were obviously dressed as Ming people, in this era of hair without hair, only the remnants of the anti-Qing rebels still retained such hairstyles, of course, Dongning is also like this, but the people along the coast of northern Jiangsu naturally don't think so far.

"This lord, since he is an official of the Ming Dynasty, he can let me and the others go." One of the passengers, a slightly older small businessman, stood up and bowed to Liu Ling, saying that almost no one was willing to take the dangerous sea route, which was much higher than the land transportation, except for the small merchants and sea merchants who wanted to escape the banknotes. "When I go home, I will definitely set up an immortal tablet for the official, and burn incense and worship day and night."

"Worship? Lao Tzu is neither a god nor a ghost, so he doesn't need it. Liu Ling let go of his hand, and the young man clutched his throat and fell to the ground coughing. Don't say anything, honestly go back to the cabin and stay, and when you get to the place, you will naturally be released, if anyone dares to resist and escape. Liu Ling chuckled. Then try it."

The men and women were so frightened that they didn't dare to make a sound, and they were immediately driven back to the cabin, and only one monk did not move.

"Why does this master want to try a certain knife?" Four or five pirates surrounded him with weapons in hand. "Don't think that we will have any taboos against monks, you must know that except for the Dragon King, we are not afraid of anything."

"Poor monk Shi Mingcheng (recommended by book friend Yun Shui Xing), a native of Nantong, Jiangsu, has been a doctor for generations in his family, and he is a monk in his middle age when he was young," the monk bowed to a group of pirates. "The poor monk is to Qixia Mountain Qixia Temple to place an order, the monk is traveling the world, and now it is the Bodhisattva's meaning to be held by the adult, and the poor monk implores the adult to send it to Dongning."

"Dongning?" Liu Ling's face froze. "What nonsense is the monk talking about." Speaking of this, Liu Ling waved the blade in his hand. "Hurry back to the cabin, if you want to be verbose again, don't blame the official for being polite."

Shi Mingcheng glanced at Liu Ling deeply, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "The little monk is ordered."

"These days, we have explored the upper reaches of the river and the coastal areas on both sides, and in addition to the Sultanate of Yamaguchi to the north, there are four or five Sultanates of different sizes around us." Unlike the captains of the other two boats, He Zhichao volunteered to stay in Xiboni. "Among them, the big ones have several counties and more than 10,000 people, and the small ones are several village heads, with three or five hundred people, and the relationship between them is also very antagonistic, so we just take advantage of it."

"The local people are still more enthusiastic about the Han people, but the reputation of the Dutch and Francois is not good." Another captain, Chen Shuiyou, took off his wet clothes and put them by the fire, and a thin burst of water vapor began to rise in the room. "It is said that a few years ago, the Sultan of Mazin in the south drove the Dutch out."

"Ma Chen is too far away." Tian Chao looked at the rain scene like a curtain of water outdoors, and frowned. "The key is that if we have a foothold here, will it make the native sultan on the side feel uncomfortable." As the saying goes, it is not allowed to snore next to the couch, and perhaps the cold and peaceful sultans can sit back and watch the old rival slowly rise, but it may not give Dongning, a new enemy, a chance to intervene. "We have to be prepared, as soon as the rainy season is over, we must immediately prepare for war."

"Ready for war?" The civil affairs assistant assigned to Tian Chao, Zhuge Maple Leaf (recommended by book friend Yunye) from Yingtian Division, shook his head like a rattle. "How to solve the problem of food? We don't know if our current batch of grain will last until the next ship, so we must not attack blindly. ”

"Brother Zhuge misunderstood, I don't want to attack, but to prevent the opponent from attacking." Tian Chao was also sober. "When the dry season comes, our army will go to the Mintun together, the town soldiers will have to rest for half a day and plough for half a day, and the people of those Mintun will also have a drill every three days, so as to ensure the combat effectiveness in case there is a police."

"In this case, the lower officials will be relieved." Zhuge Maple said that he was relieved, but he still proposed his own construction. "The fleet has to find a way to catch more fish to supplement the lack of food, and in addition, the cultivated land of the town army is afraid that there is not much time to serve, and the construction is mainly based on sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes and kudzu."

"It's easy to fish in the fleet, but if you don't have enough salt, you won't be able to save it." The third captain, Gao Cheng, further said. "If there is a lot of cement, it is better to build a salt pan by the sea first."

"All the cement is used to build the longhouse." Tian Chao shook his head regretfully. "I'm afraid I'll have to wait until the next time the ship comes."

"Then let's arrange to boil the sea first." Zhuge Maple Leaf proposed a compromise solution. "There are not many other weeds on this estuary, but there are many weeds that can be used as firestarters, and they are just expanding the reclamation area and using them to dry them as fuel."

"Yes, there must be a lot of nesting waterfowl on the river beach, and a group of them are caught and raised as poultry." Thinking of the golden omelette and the roast poultry dripping with fat, the corners of the mouths of several people present couldn't help but secrete a trace of saliva.

"And women." Tian Chao's subordinates, whether they were originally affiliated with Zheng Jun or the new attached army, are mostly singles, and if they continue to hold back like this, I am afraid that sooner or later there will be trouble. "Can we find a way to make a deal with a few Sultans, and exchange our rich firearms with some women to serve as prostitutes?"

"No, no." Jiang Tao, the leader of the second team of the infantry team, resolutely opposed the construction of Chang Yong, the leader of the first team of the infantry team. "Just now I said that I might fight with these sultans, but now I am giving firearms to the other side, isn't that an enemy?"

"Women's issues can be postponed." Although Tian Chao was accompanied by the little concubine of the green hat Zhizhou, this was not the reason why he was full and hungry. "After all, they are all unfamiliar with each other, and these guys will definitely not cause trouble in a short period of time, so you can either negotiate with them after defeating the Sultans, or you can wait for the next ship to come and ask for help from the domain." Tian Chao smiled. "In the past, we Dongning had more men and fewer women, and it was not uncommon for people in their thirties and forties not to get married, but now that the people of Qiongzhou have moved over, although not all of this problem has been solved, at least most of it can be solved.

"That's right." Zhuge Maple added. "Don't talk about this truth for the time being, and when there are signs of commotion, you can reveal it, or you can delay it for a little longer."

"What if the Sultans don't attack?"

"It's better if we don't attack, we can get a foothold thoroughly." Tian Chao had a hideous smile on his face. "But it's the first year, and in the next year, even if they don't attack, we should attack, after all, the Lord sent us here to dig for gold." At the mention of gold, the eyes of everyone present shone with a golden glow. "There is a way that God will not take it, but accept the blame, if you don't occupy this land, will it be left to Hongyi to get gold to fight us?"
