Chapter Twenty-Five: Shocked by the Maritime Trade

After Li Tang and the others returned to the village, they naturally received a warm welcome from everyone. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This battle was too headless and brainless, and it was a coincidence.

Actually, it's not a coincidence. All this is arranged by the system, Zhang Fu and them are originally displaced people arranged by the system. Because, almost half a month has passed, and the system is going to send the villagers over again.

The plot of this story was supposed to look like this:

Zhang Fu took his own ship to trade at sea. As a result, the flotilla encountered a storm and deviated from course.

Then, after encountering pirates. Zhang Fu and the sailors were unwilling to lose the hard-earned money they had earned for their lives, and they fled directly by relying on their speed advantage.

The pirates are in hot pursuit. However, Zhang Fu's cargo ship was new, fast, and the helmsman was skilled, and all the pirate ships could not catch up with the cargo ship.

In this way, after two days and two nights of chasing, he finally got rid of the 5 ships in the middle of the pirate fleet. But there were still two pirate ships in hot pursuit. However, due to a certain sailor's nervousness, a mistake in the sail caused the sail angle to deviate, which eventually caused the pirates to catch up with Zhang Fu's cargo ship.

Pirates jump aboard the ship to slaughter the crew. Zhang Fu and the crew saw that the matter was irreversible, and they couldn't defeat the pirates, and they were unwilling to be humiliated. So, after directly setting fire to the ship and cargo, he committed suicide by jumping into the sea. Let the pirates run out of money.

As a result, they drifted to Linhai Village, where they were rescued by the villagers of Linhai Village and naturalized as Linhai Village.

Linhai Village was also discovered by pirates, causing pirates to attack the village later.

Usually after a new village is established, sooner or later such a catastrophe will occur. Or a torrent, or a subsidence, or a beast, or a bandit, or a robber, if you successfully resist it, the village will be fine. If you don't resist, I'm sorry, the village will be gone.

In general, the catastrophe occurs before the village is about to build a town. The later it appears, the higher the attack intensity.

However, there are exceptions. For example, in Japan's third village under heaven, there was an attack by bandits on the first night after the village was established, and the intensity of the attack was unprecedented. Of course, this is a special case.

In short, the establishment of a village, for example, has to go through some twists and turns before it can be reborn.

However, due to Li Tang's going to sea, good things have changed.

Before the pirates could catch up with Zhang Fu's ship, Li Tang appeared, and as a result, the war broke out early.

Moreover, Linhai Village also won a big victory.

However, Linhai Village, which had to be leaked, was not spared from being leaked because of this. After all, it is systematically arranged, and Linhai Village is definitely going to experience a catastrophe.

This inexplicable war once again disrupted Li Tang's plan. The plan to let him sweep away the pirates in the waters of Penghu was once again postponed.

Thankfully, however, quite a few were seized this time. Moreover, the experience of frontal warfare has benefited many generals a lot. For example, Ye Hui and so on.

There were some casualties in this battle. 47 3-star soldiers sacrificed, 4-star soldiers sacrificed a total of 15 people, and many others were injured, but they were all knife wounds and arrow wounds.

This seizure is not small:

There are 2 120-meter silver-class warships, and the speed should be about the same as the existing 3 Flying Tiger warships. After a simple fix, it can be incorporated into the fleet.

There are more than 600 sailors, handymen, and ship prostitutes, and these people can basically fit into the village and serve as villagers.

There are more than 1,300 naval soldiers, including more than 140 2-star soldiers, more than 1,100 3-star soldiers, 23 4-star soldiers, 4 5-star soldiers, and 1 6-star soldier.

It is estimated that after joining Linhai Village, the level of some soldiers will increase. However, at present, it is still closed for a period of time, so as not to make trouble and rebel.

Speaking of which, all the original 2-star soldiers in Linhai Village were transferred to the interior to maintain law and order. In this way, the security of Linhai Village has been improved.

The total amount of money is 13,529 gold coins, and other high-value goods are estimated to be around 20,000 gold coins.

There are more than 1,400 sets of black iron equipment and a number of other scattered equipment.

Li Tang gathered the better equipment into a set and gave it to the conscripted soldiers to use.

It is a pity for Li Tang that Li Tang's blacksmith shop has not yet formed a scale, and it is not yet possible to build a large number of suits. Some consumable equipment, such as crossbow arrows, even needs to be purchased externally.

Li Tang didn't go to count the loot in person, someone did these things for him. All he needed to do was force the captives to surrender.

The best place to force the prisoners to surrender is the Qiankun Bracelet. No one can do this for Li Tang, so he can only do it himself. However, Li Tang did a lot of such a thing as forcing the prisoners to surrender, and no matter how hard the prisoners were, when they arrived in the Qiankun bracelet, they were pretended to be ghosts by Li Tang, and they could only swear allegiance. Otherwise, go hungry! You can't die if you want to.

After Li Tang dealt with the captivity, he went to find Zhang Fu and Ye Biao.

For Zhang Fu, Li Tang has a lot of questions to ask him. Li Tang didn't know that Zhang Fu was actually a talent given to him by the system.

Speaking of which, Zhang Fu has been traveling between the north-south routes of the Dahan Sea. Draw some raw silk, silk, porcelain, ironware, tea and tea from the south to the north. Then pull some furs, horses, ginseng, and medicinal herbs from the north and return to the south. Usually there is a lot of profit, but this time after returning from the north without selling the goods, I did not buy horses.

It is said that the north is not peaceful. Some of the horses had not yet been transported further north to the seashore and were bought halfway through. It is said that there is going to be a war.

But for Zhang Fu, it doesn't matter if he can't buy a horse. His profit from a single trip is already very high, not to mention, this time when he comes back, there are still a large amount of money for goods, furs, and ginseng. As long as you can reach your destination smoothly, you will make a fortune.

However, someone was jealous of Zhang Fu's profits and leaked the news that Zhang Fu was carrying a large amount of money to the pirates.

For a time, many pirates heard the wind and began to intercept Zhang Fu's cargo ship.

After Zhang Fu encountered several pirate attacks, he took advantage of the advantages of less cargo, light ships, and fast sailing speed to get rid of them.

However, this is not an option for a long time. Therefore, Zhang Fu decided not to sail along the coast anymore, but to sail eastward first, a certain distance away from the coastline, so that the wind and waves encountered were greater, but the chance of being discovered by pirates would be much smaller.

Who knows, the cargo ship encountered the wind, and suddenly deviated to the vicinity of Penghu Island and fell into the bandits' den.

When the pirates of Fort Eagle discovered the hapless cargo ship, they sent clippers in pursuit. Zhang Fu repeated his old tricks and slipped away. And so there was a scene where you started chasing me.

Hearing that Zhang Fu has a huge amount of money, it is impossible for Li Tang not to be moved. However, Li Tang can't rob it, if he robs the people of the Han Dynasty, he will really become a pirate, and he will be abandoned by the entire continent.

Li Tang regretted it a little, he had known that he would let Flying Eagle Castle snatch Zhang Fu's money first, and then snatch it back himself, so it would be okay! Or a hero who eliminates harm for the people!

Li Tang even thought about putting some robbers loyal to Li Tang on the way back to Zhang Fu, but did not join the bandits in Linhai Village and robbed Zhang Fu. However, these thoughts flashed in Li Tang's mind, Li Tang is already very rich, and he can't do something unconscionable for money, right? It's not worth it to lose faith for the sake of petty profits!

Zhang Fu saw Li Tang's uncertain changing color, and his heart sighed. A businessman is the best at observing words and feelings, how could he not know what Li Tang was thinking?

Not to mention people like Li Tang who even robbers dare to rob, it is those sanctimonious defenders on the mainland, who heard that they have a huge amount of money, and they probably have to fight their own ideas! However, I can't help but say, is Li Tang a fool?

However, the sensitivity of the businessman allowed Zhang Fu to catch the signal that Li Tang gave him, that is, he had hope of returning to the mainland. However, it should be impossible to return to the mainland without bleeding. However, this is nothing, compared to a small life, some things outside the body, if you lose it, you will lose it, and you can earn it again! If you don't bleed, there is a chance that you will be yin!

So, Zhang Fu bowed to Li Tang and said:

"Little old man, thank you very much for saving your life, my lord! Lord, you are a person with great ambitions at a glance, and in this Penghu sea, you can also open your eyes for the passing merchants and eliminate the pirates who are doing evil. Dare to act, what a hero who stands up to the sky! ”

"Where, where! It's just a matter of effort! They are all big Han people, how can I not save them when I see death! ”

"The grace of saving lives cannot be repaid! The little old man gave the whole ship of goods and money to help the lord clear the group of thieves and return me to the Han Sea! ”

"I can't do it, I can't do it! So, how am I different from those robbers? ”

"Haha! Lord, you're bright enough! However, if the robber asks for Xiao Lao'er's things, Xiao Lao'er will burn the ship and goods, and will not leave it to the pirates. However, even if you don't want it, my lord, you have to give it! ”

So, one wants to give, but the heart is very reluctant, and the other does not want, but the heart wants it very much.

"Alas! You gave me such a high hat in the first place, how could I take all your things! Li Tang secretly slandered to himself.

"Elder Zhang doesn't have to be like this. The cargo on your ship is actually some mountain goods, although they are rare, but I am not short of them here. Even if it was given to me, it wouldn't be of much use. It's better for Zhang Lao to bring you back to the mainland, and you can sell it for a good price. ”

"Since the lord has said so, it would be hypocritical for me to say anything else. However, I have brought 60,000 gold coins with me this time, and I will give it to you, my lord, and you must not refrain from this time. ”

"Okay, I appreciate Brother Zhang's cheerfulness. But I won't take your gold in vain. Actually, I'm also difficult! In this way, I actually have a large number of goods in my hands that I can't handle! One is that there is no air route, and the other is that there is no way to establish contact with the mainland! ”

"Hehe, since the lord you call me brother, I will ask you to call me brother. Brother! Not to mention anything else, in the mainland, your brother and I still have such an acre and three points of land. What goods do you have, you can find an agent for sale with my brother, there is absolutely no problem. ”

"It's just that some goods are coming from a wrong way! It's all captured from pirates, and it's considered a black cargo, I'm afraid that if you're not careful, you will be calculated by someone with a heart! ”

"Then you will put a hundred hearts. You're talking about seafood. Your brother and I have been in this business for decades, and there are ways to buy and sell things, except for some siege equipment controlled by the government, other things are basically bought and sold.

If the lord believes in the lord, he is willing to relieve the lord of these troubles and share some sorrows. After all, the risk of running a ship is extremely high, if you can sell goods for your brother, presumably your brother will not have to run a boat. ”

"Haha, that's great! These days, I'm worrying about these things! ”

"Come on, prepare a banquet for me, and give me Brother Zhang a shock. I'm not drunk with Brother Zhang tonight! Brother Zhang, what do you think? ”

"Brother is polite, it's better to be respectful!"

"By the way, Brother Zhang, it's still early for dinner now, why don't we go and see what we have seized in Linhai Village these days?"

"It's so good, I'm about to open my eyes!"
