Chapter 276: Musket One

"Captain?"

The pig called again, and Gao Ning came back to his senses and said slowly: "Don't worry, take a look!" ”

There are not many pirates on the border of Shandong, because they are not rich recently, and there are very few natural ports, unlike Zhejiang and Jiangsu, where the coastline is very long.

Although in the early years, there were occasional Japanese pirates who came ashore and made some confusion and jokes, but most of them were also pretended to be their own people, and there were few real Japanese pirates.

Therefore, no matter how old or young in the village, they have never seen what a real pirate looks like, Gao Ning can use other means to quickly investigate, but he feels that there is no need.

In the last mission, the world naval base has come out, and now the internal space of the castle, the equipment of the type base is basically complete, if there is really any enemy on the sea, Gao Ning does not need to take action by himself, he only needs to build a few simplest ships, and he can wipe them out.

It's not that Gao Ning looks down on them, but there is really no navy in this era, and the so-called losses are just playing some games in the lake.

Since Zheng He went to the West, the blueprints for the construction of treasure ships have disappeared, and the truly experienced and capable sailors and navigators have long since disappeared.

If it had been able to maintain its naval strength, the Ming Dynasty would not have been attacked by the Japanese invaders.

When the dross of Confucianism occupies a high position, it really harms people.

Faintly, there was a sound of water on the sea, everyone listened attentively, more than a dozen pairs of eyes continued to search on the sea, under the faint light, but if they saw a little suspicious, they immediately passed the sound, and after repeated confirmation, they dared to report it to Gao Ning.

It didn't work for them, Gao Ning had already found a sampan on the sea.

The hull of the ship was not large, and it was a little old, and there were about a dozen of them lying on it in the dark night, and judging by their sturdy figures and fierce momentum, it was obvious that they were outlaws who had experienced the fight at sea.

Gao Ning's head was full of question marks, what the hell, was it really a pirate?

What are the pirates doing here, looking at their demeanor, it seems that they are coming directly at Yangjia Village, is it to listen to the prosperity and wealth of Yangjia Village, or to run for illegal salt, and want to grab a handful and leave?

Could it be that which official around can't hold back the greed in his heart and is ready to attack Yangjia Village, but it's not right, the broken officials of the Ming Dynasty can still command pirates?

Gao Ning pondered for a while, and lightly ordered: "Tell someone to wake everyone up, come and gather secretly, there is likely to be a battle in a while." ”

The pig received the order and turned to go.

Yangjia Village is already very close to here, and it doesn't take a quarter of an hour to run back and forth.

Soon, the sleeping convoy fighters were woken up, and everyone quickly dressed and prepared their weapons.

With the exception of the necessary guards who remained in other directions of the village, the rest of the fighters quickly assembled at the gravel beach.

Gao Ning met with several deputy captains, exchanged a few words in a low voice, and quickly determined the order.

No matter who comes, the three watches quietly land in the middle of the night, they are definitely not good people, so let's get down first.

The warriors were faintly excited, since the last time they killed the mountain tiger, everyone's morale was very high, but unfortunately no one dared to provoke them for a long time.

Depressed can only gradually calm down the restless heart, but once this kind of mind is hooked, it is difficult to suppress it, this period of intense training, make everyone tired at the same time, but also gradually consolidate this impulse into the excitement of hearing the war.

One by one, the soldiers of the convoy clenched their weapons and scattered in the shadows of the gravel beach, quietly waiting for the unknown figure to come to the shore.

As the sound of the water gradually approached, the sampan gradually rippled to the shore, and then everyone saw clearly that there was not only one sampan, but two bright and one dark.

Only the sampan on the water surface moved on the flow, in fact, there was a much shorter sampan following behind, and more than a dozen people were lying behind like water ghosts, moving quietly.

There are 30 people before and after, and it is almost May, but the water temperature is still very cold, all the people are black, and the others can't see clearly, but Gao Ning knows that each of them is wearing a water lean made of deerskin.

This thing is not easy to obtain, waterproof equipment is very precious in this era, and it is difficult to get deerskin alone, let alone find a skilled tailor to make this kind of thing carefully.

People who often do water activities are very fond of wearing this kind of thing, because it wets quickly, dries quickly, and can also play a certain role in keeping warm when in the sea, and many southerners regard it as their daily attire, because the air in the south is very humid, and it rains at every turn, and it is often drenched all over the body.

Gao Ning also wondered a little in his heart, these people really don't look like good people, although their bodies are not too strong, their muscles are very strong, like steel cages.

Most of the exposed skin is bronzed, with only occasional whiter skin on the edges.

With such a clear sign, and most of them have javelins, harpoons, axes and other tools in their hands.

No, it's definitely pirates.

Because only pirates need this kind of thing, and in the current water wars, the ax is a very useful thing.

In addition to cutting people, you can also gnaw on the cable to prevent your own ship from being caught in battle.

As the pirates moved, they spoke to me, they were fast, and their accents were a little weird, a bit like Fujian, and a bit like Japanese.

Gao Ning is for nothing about this, he can understand the current Shandong people's dialect, which is already good!

As for the southern dialect, forget it!

Why does Mandarin need to be popularized? It is because the communication between the north and the south is really inconvenient, and the south has different tones for ten miles, and the tone is changed across the river.

By ears alone, no one can tell where these people are, but it is clear that they are not from Shandong.

The pig suddenly whispered, "Yes, I seem to have seen a musket!" ”

Gao Ning's heart was shocked, and he locked onto a pirate with a spear-like object in his hand, and his heart was overjoyed.

This is really whatever you want, and some time ago I was still worried, what kind of reason to find to introduce firearms into the escort team.

At that time, it will be natural to evolve the main weapon of the escort from a simple spear to a musket.

I didn't expect it to be delivered to the door by itself!

After the pirates came ashore, they took out a weapon that was close to their backs, and Gao Ning saw that there were quite a few muskets, good guys.

Looks like these pirates are quite wealthy.

Gao Ning was very satisfied, but now that the big guys are staring at it, he is embarrassed to ask the assassination ninja to make a move, and if he uses a virus sniper, the movement seems to be a little too big.
