Soon, the sea was calm again. The blood was gradually diluted by the sea.

Sharks weave from boat to boat and enjoy their feast.

All the surrendered pirates were gathered on the deck of the Jackdaw, waiting for Nan Xiao's lecture. Nan Xiao ordered that their weapons should not be taken away, let alone tied up. Feeling the trust of the new captain, the young sailors were not at all afraid, but became emotional, chanting the slogan "Long live the sword lord".

Speaking of which, they are actually the lowest group of people in the pirates. Don't even think about sending people to death as cannon fodder on the front line, making money and eating meat. If you are slightly dissatisfied, you may be executed in public and hanged on the mast.

And Nan Xiao's first order was for them to report all the little leaders of the pirates who usually oppressed them, beat them, and physically punished them. One counts as one, all take the springboard.

The sharks are still active underwater and have not eaten enough at all. Someone comes to deliver an extra meal, and of course they don't refuse.

Seeing the little leaders who usually flaunted their martial arts crying and begging, and finally had to walk on the springboard of despair, the sailors were in high spirits and extremely excited. has been living under the cruel repressive rule, and suddenly saw the ugliness of the repressive rulers with his own eyes, and realized that these usually majestic people are actually very weak, and it is like starting over in life.

After raising their eyebrows, the sailors were naturally full of gratitude to Nan Xiao.

Nan Xiao began to speak: "Everyone! Although you have been a sea coward, in my opinion, you are actually coerced and miserable, and life and death are not up to you. When you do evil, it is not that you want to do evil, but that the people above oppress you and persecute you to do evil. You were their tools, and I will free you today so that you will no longer be anyone's tools! You should stand up and fight for your fate! ”

"Long live the Sword Hero Ninja!"

"Long live the Admiral!"

The cheers were like a tsunami and the whole sea was bustling with activity.

Speaking of the heat, Nan Xiao suddenly kicked open the wooden box under his feet. He grabbed a musket from the box and held it high: "This is the weapon of the Lai Island Pirates, take it and follow me to defeat the Lai Island!" ”

He casually threw the musket to one of the sailors in the front row.

The sailor, who had picked up the gun, waved it excitedly and shouted to his companions around him: "Brothers! The Admirals are going to lead us to defeat that old thing on the island! The money and women on the island will be ours then! ”

Soon, someone who knew how to read his face gave him a kick: "I don't know what to do!" The money and the women belong to the Admiral! The Admiral has rewarded you, and you have it. Shut up and don't shout. ”

Nan Xiao smiled and shouted, "Brothers, the Haikou who came to the island have been rampant in the East China Sea for decades and have accumulated a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry. The money belongs to everyone. Everyone below me can get their fair share according to their contributions. There are many people who contribute more, and those who contribute less effort are few, and if they don't contribute, steal and cheat, then there is nothing! Isn't it fair that others charge ahead, and you hide behind, but you have to share as much as everyone else when the time comes? ”

"It's not fair!"

Nan Xiao grabbed a handful of gold coins from the box and let it roll back into the box with a clang: "Do you want money?" Then go fight with me! Pick up arms and fight to the death with the die-hard men who came to the island! Let's comment afterwards. Whoever is the bravest should share the most money. Whoever fights leaves his companion to rob money, not only will the robbery be confiscated, but I will also hang him! Did you hear it all? ”

At that moment, the accumulated anger and desire of the sailors instantly exploded: "Kill the island!" ”

They brandished their swords and shouted slogans to defeat Kurijima, completely forgetting that they had been affiliated with the pirates of Kurijima not long ago.

Morale is available.

Nan Xiao pulled out the wedge pill and pointed forward: "Forward, attack the island!" ”

Everyone responded: "Oh! ”

Looking at the mighty fleet on the sea, Li Huamei seemed to realize why Nan Xiao was so confident that she would win.

After a few days of sailing, the Nanjia fleet docked near Naha.

After receiving a decent tip, the bar owner whispered, "I heard that the fleet coming to the island has recently been near the route from Hirado to Goryeo Gyeongseong. ”

Next is the time to develop a battle plan. On board the Jackdaw, the giants of the fleet gathered around a large table. Needless to say, Li Huamei attended the meeting. Yang Xien and Ivan Kadukov also came. In addition, there are Jame Jack Ludwig and Yurian Lopez, both skilled captains of the Li family's sailors.

The table is covered with charts, and the routes of the East China Sea are clearly drawn.

During this time, Nanxiao frantically supplemented the hydrology, weather, geography and other information of the ancient East China Sea, and had some experience. He was the first to speak: "From Hirado to Goryeo City, you must pass through Jeju Island." It is better for us to rush to Jeju Island first, ambush the strike fleet on the north side of the island, and lure the enemy from the east with a small fleet. When the naval forces on the island are approaching, the enemy fleet is lured to attract the enemy's large force to the south, and the strike fleet can take advantage of the situation to attack from north to south, and you can win. ”

Li Huamei pondered: "The plan is okay, but I don't know the wind ...... that day"

It is true that the weather has been very erratic lately. Sometimes the southeast wind, sometimes the northwest wind, there is no trust. If the wind is not in the right direction, it will be difficult to catch the Kurushima fleet.

"I have a way to win." Nan Xiao said confidently.

"What is it?"

"Greek fire."

There are quite a few foreigners here who have heard of this name. In an instant, everyone was shocked. "Do you know the recipe for Greek fire?" Li Huamei asked in surprise, "I heard that its preparation method was lost hundreds of years ago. ”

"Well, I read a history book written by Anna Komnina, a princess of the Eastern Roman Empire. In it she mentions how her father, Alexei I, fought the Italians with Greek fire. I have also read some later Persian literature on Greek fire. The recipe for Greek fire is mentioned in it. Of course, the preparation process is more complicated. I'll slowly teach it to the quartermaster. Until then, a strict system of secrecy must be established. ”

Li Huamei nodded: "Well, there is no problem, the most loyal craftsmen will definitely be selected." ”

Ivanka adds: "And everyone is only responsible for a part of the formula. ”

Yang Xien proposed: "How to use that thing, you still need training. ”

The real Greek fire, made of paraffin oil, sulfur, asphalt, rosin, resin plus lime and bone char, burned very well, burned when the wind blew, burned faster when exposed to water, and easily attached to ships and overboard soldiers. The preparation process involves carefully separating these ingredients into small packets and placing them separately in clay pots. When a clay pot shatters, the ingredients inside will mix up and burn automatically.
