Chapter 92: A Big Mac from the East
A large merchant ship from nowhere succeeded in attracting the pirates of the Golden Isles, and a large number of pirates rowed large ships and small ships to surround the merchant ships.
This merchant ship is built tall and large, compared to the pirates' small ships seem so small, so if a pirate group alone to rob, it is estimated that the merchant ship can overturn the pirate ship by accelerating the waves with all its might, but just like the fierce lion can not stand up to the group of wolves rounding up, although the merchant ship is tall, but in the face of hundreds of large and small pirate ships, they can only look at the ocean and stop there.
However, although the pirates successfully forced the merchant ship to stop, how to go up has become a new problem, throwing the hook lock along the edge of the ship to climb up is the most common method, but the ship is too big, many pirates' hook lock is not long enough, even if it is long enough to climb so high, there is a certain risk, and if you don't get it right, you can fall into the sea.
Several figures soon appeared on the deck of the merchant ship that was forced to stop, led by a middle-aged man wearing a brocade robe with a tiger embroidered on his chest, and behind him were several sturdy guards with long knives in their hands.
The middle-aged man stood on the deck and said to the pirates: "Ladies and gentlemen, we are from the Dahua Empire in the east, and we have come to the Golden Islands this time to discuss important matters with your leaders, and we are also bothering you to get out of the way. ”
"From the East? It is said that men in the East marry several wives by themselves, I don't know how many beauties you brought on this ship? The leader of one of the larger pirate groups laughed jokingly, and the other pirates laughed along with it.
"If you are very interested in our oriental humanities and customs, you are always welcome to visit our Dahua Empire." The middle-aged man said with a smile.
"Why do you want to go on a trip, I see that there are a lot of good things on your ship, instead of running all the way to see it, why don't you let us get on the boat and take a look first, Lao Tzu really wants to see if the women in the East are as chic as they say."
"We do have some good things on our ship, and they were originally prepared for you, but we can't give them to you until we meet your Lord Arthur, so we have to make way for you." The middle-aged man said unhurriedly.
"Get out of the way?" The leader of the pirates raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man and sneered twice, saying, "Our brothers all over the island are all because you are out, and the big guy has been busy for a long time and has not fished for anything, so he wants us to dodge, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?" Besides, you yourself said that the things on the ship were originally prepared for us, so what's the difference between giving first and then giving? If you really want to see Arthur first, you can send a few beauties out to accompany us, and it won't make us work in vain. The pirate leader smiled obscenely, and his mind was full of the graceful and graceful images of oriental women, and the other pirates also followed suit, mouthing all kinds of foul language, and the middle-aged man on the deck frowned.
These pirates were ready to eat the merchant ship, no matter what the middle-aged man said, he was unwilling to give way, if they weren't still racking their brains about how to climb onto the ship, they would have gone up and ransacked the merchant ship a long time ago.
The middle-aged man waved his hand, and a guard behind him leaned over, the middle-aged man whispered a few words, and the guard answered and quickly left.
"Ladies and gentlemen, in our eastern direction, we have come all the way to find Lord Arthur, you are not in the way, I have persuaded you with good words, if you insist on not getting out of the way, then don't blame me for being rude." The middle-aged man retracted the expression on his face, and there was a bit of persuasion and a bit of deterrence in his tone.
"Huh!" The pirate leader also made a straight face after listening to the man with glasses, "I didn't expect you to dare to threaten us on our territory?" What if you're from the East? This is the Golden Isles, a pirate's paradise! Here Lao Tzu is a courtesy, Lao Tzu is a soldier, I want to see what you have to be rude to me! ”
With a few sounds of wheel rolls, a row of square holes were set up in the hull on both sides of the giant merchant ship, eight on each side of the ship for a total of sixteen, followed by the sound of wheels moving, and at the same time a cannon barrel poked out of those holes, and the black muzzle pointed to the sky.
"Fuck it!" When the pirate leader saw this posture, he cursed and quickly hid behind a few minions, all the pirates did not expect that this giant merchant ship had been refitted and equipped with so many cannons.
In today's world, due to the constraints of scientific productivity, the development of weapons and equipment has also been subject to many restrictions, and the most powerful weapons that can be made are cannons, artillery and the like, and then military rifles, light rifles, shotguns, pistols, and so on have declined in turn. Among them, cannons and military rifles are strictly controlled by various governments, except for the army, ordinary people, even the personal guards of Western nobles, cannot get this kind of weapons, let alone the pirates of the Golden Islands.
So in the face of these sixteen guns on the merchant ship, the pirates have no bottom in their hearts, they have many people and guns, but it seems that they are a little worthless in front of these sixteen guns, and if the two waves are saturated to attack, the pirates present are estimated to be killed and wounded.
"No," said the pirate leader, who suddenly thought of something, and said to the little minions beside him, "aren't these merchants from the East?" Where did they get the artillery? It's something that money can't buy, but if they're not merchants, but an army from the East, then why would they disguise themselves as merchants and drive a merchant ship? His grandmother's, is it possible that those artillery pieces are fake? ”
"What the boss said is very true!" The minions on the side didn't know whether they really agreed, or whether they were pure sycophants, nodded vigorously and agreed, and the pirate leader looked at the other subordinates, and they all agreed, those cannons were fake nine times out of ten, specially used to bluff people.
After getting everyone's unanimous affirmative opinion, the pirate leader felt confident, he pointed to the middle-aged man and said, "Your grandmother's, you want to scare us by making some fake runs?" If you have the ability, you can shoot a shot and I'll take a look? ”
The middle-aged man shook his head helplessly and said, "Is it necessary for us to get so many fake artillery pieces to bluff people?" You said let's shoot a shot, so how about I let someone shoot at you? ”
"Don't, don't." Hearing that the middle-aged man was going to use his ship as a target demonstration, the pirate leader was also weak, after all, those black cannon muzzles looked quite realistic.
"What then, or shall we go in a different direction?" As the middle-aged man spoke, one of the guns would continue to adjust the firing angle with the direction he was facing, and the pirates surrounding the merchant ship were all panicked all of a sudden, and as soon as the cannon was aimed at him, he quickly waved his hand to signal that he should move away, the pirates were besieging the merchant ship violently, but now the scene is very funny, and some pirate groups are even a little bit retreating, face is not important, saving life is the most important thing.
"Gee, it seems that no one wants to try it as a target, how can a fake cannon scare you like this?" The middle-aged man changed his polite attitude earlier, and began to mock all kinds of ridicule in his words, and the pirates were naturally very unhappy when they heard it, but in the face of sixteen cannons, no one dared to jump out and be the first bird.
"I've heard that you Westerners are more faithful to God, aren't you?" The middle-aged man suddenly changed his words and asked, the pirates didn't know what he meant, and no one answered his words, the corners of the middle-aged man's mouth rose and pointed to the sky, "God should live on it, I don't know if your God is afraid of artillery." ”
As soon as the middle-aged man's voice fell, an artillery gun adjusted the angle and pointed at the sky at an angle of forty-five degrees, and as the middle-aged man's hand was slowly lowered, there was a loud bang, and a cannonball flew out towards the sky.
