Chapter 455: The Pirate Who Pulls the Tiger's Skin

The wind on the island was very strong, very cold, it was the kind of wet cold that drilled hard into the clothes, Rwann stood on the top of the island for a while and then couldn't bear it, walked into a simple room next to the watchtower, this is the dormitory of the sentry on the tower, there are not many things, it is quite clean, throw out a few chairs and everyone sat down, Rwann while fiddling with the brazier: "You have been here for almost two months, I don't know how the sailors are training, but the speed of this infrastructure is too slow!" ”

Although Lu Wang's tone was faint as if he was chattering, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, who were originally standing next to him, instantly felt cold sweat and stood up: "If your subordinates don't do things well, please punish Master Hou!" ”

Hearing this, Lu Wang looked up at the two of them, couldn't help frowning, and wanted to say something, but finally sighed, "Sit down and speak, I'm not blaming, but reminding you that time is pressing, and there are two months at most I need a strong naval team and a naval base!" Tell me the details of this situation, and what difficulties do you need my support! ”

"Master Hou, it's winter, it's difficult to train sailors, and now the training subjects are mainly to get soldiers used to activities on board", Zhang Long took the lead in speaking, he was in charge of sailors!

"That's a reason for the season, right, according to what you say, you won't have to fight in the winter anymore, right? How do you have a tendon in your head, how to act as a water army if you are not familiar with water, the people brought from Jinhua are not familiar with water as a reserve, there are too many people who live by the sea along the coast of Wenzhou, you can use it directly! Lu Wang couldn't help but nag: "As long as there is silver, there are more people who want to come to our house to be sailors!" ”

"The subordinates are guilty", Zhang Long stood up again: "I thought that Master Hou meant just to train our family!" ”

"It's also my fault that I didn't inform you about this, and you are not mobile enough," Lu Wang said, standing up and walking to the door, looking at the vast sea in the distance, "The navy division of the imperial court is a mess now, as rotten as the army, and I heard that the navy's monthly salary is only one stone of rice." But there is not much left of this stone rice that has been detained, or it cannot be sent at all, resulting in continuous deserters, and the warship is dilapidated and has not been repaired for many years...... Hey, who would have thought that Taizu would fall on the world's most powerful navy, if the fortune of the country really decides everything, the Ming Dynasty is in its twilight years, and the navy is also red! ”

"Master Hou, let's just recruit those sailors from the imperial court directly, and use our family's salary to ensure their ......" Zhang Longzheng was interrupted by a wave of his hand. That's a matter for the future, and the time is not yet ripe, take care of our own affairs first, and I will slowly sort out the sailors of the imperial court! ”

"The subordinates have said more!" Zhang Long hurriedly clenched his fists and confessed, which made Lu Wang a little unhappy, he could clearly feel that Zhang Long and Zhao Hu were not as respectful as Wang Chao and Ma Han for their brothers, but they were afraid, and he understood this situation, after all, he had too little time with the two, and his identity skyrocketed. The two of them are even more in awe of themselves!

"If you don't say anything, you can't know what is right or wrong!" Lu Wang smiled slightly, trying to ease the emotions of the two, "Go back and recruit more sailors." Fishermen are trained as a navy, and the salary is not too high, and the addition of five buckets of rice in one or two five months is enough to break the threshold of our family! ”

Lu Wang's words made everyone in the room laugh, "What's the difficulty, right." Have you ever encountered pirates? ”

Zhang Long glanced at Zhao Hu when he heard this, and then frowned slightly, "Didn't Master Hou see the corpse hanging near the dock just now?" Those are pirates! ”

"No, I saw so many living people at the dock just now, but I didn't pay attention to see where there were dead people", Lu Wang smiled faintly, "It seems that I have been beaten?" ”

Well! Zhang Long nodded, "There is a group of pirates stationed on this island, but they are usually just for the people, and they were all killed by me!" ”

Lu Wang's brows were shocked, and Huo Ran turned around, "You mean the original islanders?" You're all killed? ”

Seeing the anger between Lu Wang's eyebrows, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu panicked, "Yes, Master Hou, are your subordinates wrong again?" ”

With a deep breath, Lu Wang walked into the fire and sat down, "Kill it, kill it, there is no right or wrong!" Just in this way, you and ...... That's it! Are there any other pirates around here? ”

"Yes, there is a group of sea thieves on Dongtou Island in the east, and they came to greet us before, let us go to the island to worship the mountain! I heard that it has a lot of background", Zhang Long said with a smile!

"Very promising, what's the origin?" Rwann laughed too!

"I heard that the head of the house is called Xiao Bailong, saying that it is the son of Yan Heqi, who previously sent people to find something to be killed by us, and then prepared to attack, seeing that there are many people on our island, now it is changed to woo, and two heads of three days are sent to come", Zhang Long looked disdainful!

"The king of the opening stage, Yan Siqi?" Lu Wang was taken aback, and then laughed, ", Yan Siqi has been dead for many years, even if his son is not in Taiwan now, he should be in the imperial court sailor, how can he run here, it is said that the court sailor is really getting more and more unbearable, there is a nest of pirates under his nose, hey, but it's normal, colluding with each other to eat, or they are all starving to death!" ”

"It seems to be called Yan Siqi, Master Hou knows this person?" Zhang Long asked, and everyone in the room tilted their ears sideways.

"I've heard it, and Zheng Zhilong are brothers, but how many years have they been dead, this thing is pretending to be his son when I hear it, and I will send troops to kill them directly, do you know how many of them there are?" Lou Wan chuckled

"There are more than 500 people, but I heard that most of the residents on the island are in the same breath as them, and the thieves are not separated, and it takes a bit of time to fight, and there are too many Dongtou islands, they are familiar with the terrain and their subordinates are not sure, otherwise they would have fought a long time ago!" Zhang Long's face was melancholy!

"Well, the location is good for all of him, it's really easy to fight, let's talk about this later, your current task is to train troops and build infrastructure, of course, if he comes to find trouble, he will beat me hard, and I will leave you some killer weapons when I go back and kill them!" Lu Wang looked at Dongfang with a murderous face!

"Master Hou, what is the killer feature?" , Zhang Long is overjoyed, to be honest, he has been worried these days, he really has no confidence in fighting with pirates, there is no advantage in water, there is no advantage in experience, and the familiarity of waters, tactics, equipment, etc. are not as good as the other party, so he never dared to leave the waters of Lingkun Island, relying only on his own strength, and the advantage of crossbows to defend the island.

"I have two national heroes in the Ming Dynasty, Yu Long and Qi Hu, one of them, General Yu Dayou, once said, "Naval warfare is nothing but a big ship defeating a small boat." Win the small with the big gun; Many ships are better than few ships, and many guns are better than few guns. "The meaning of this is actually very simple, the key point of naval warfare is that the ship is strong and the cannon is sharp, and the killer weapon for you is the ship, not only is it strong but also very fast, so that the pirate can't catch up with his broken hand, so that he can't hurt the ship even if he breaks his head!"

Zhang Long and Zhao Hu's eyes lit up, "What Master Hou said is our family's boat in West Lake!" ”

"Those are just ferries, mainly used to transport goods, and the ones I got this time are suitable for dry racks." Rwann began to brag, in fact, these warships that he boasted about were actually just fishing boats of later generations, that is, the kind of trawlers of dozens of tons, of course, the hull of twenty or thirty meters long was also a big guy in this year, and more importantly, this kind of motorized iron guy was invincible in the face of pirates' small wooden boats!

Of the thirteen ships, Rwann brought a total of thirteen, the smallest of which was 29 meters long, and the cheapest of which were more than 1 million. He spent tens of millions of dollars in one go to buy a family property for his navy, and he didn't feel distressed at all.

This kind of boat is very simple to start, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu have driven it in West Lake earlier, in fact, many modern equipment is not used, and Luwang's requirements are also very simple. As long as it can be activated, as long as the compass can point the way.

However, with Lu Wang's cautious attitude, he still led everyone to the dock and took the thirteen boats out of the water. One by one, they started a test drive, and patiently guided Zhang Long and others to operate, answering all kinds of questions. After this time, it was already dark, and Lingkun Island entered martial law again.

Li Zekai in the tent had already fallen asleep, and there was a big table in front of Lu Wang, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and more than a dozen of their henchmen were tightly gathered around and looked at dozens of large maps on the table, which were satellite maps of Wenzhou that Lu Wang had prepared before he came, as well as enlarged satellite images of Lingkun Island, of course, Dongtou Island was indispensable.

"You have taken a closer look, the distribution map of nearly 100 small islands to which Dongtou Island belongs is here, and it will be of great benefit to you in the future to remember their approximate location, just two months, I will only give you two months, not only to train me a navy, but also to collect this little worm who pretends to be Yan Siqi's son, and he will only end up with two, either submit to me or die!" Rwann began to speak!

"Dare to ask Master Hou, if that little white dragon proposes a surrender condition, how will we decide?" As soon as a question from a deputy under the dynasty came out, he was glared at by the dynasty fiercely, and sure enough, Lu Wang was angry, "I can strangle him with my own hands, why do I have to agree to his bullshit conditions!" Again, descend or die! ”

After being scolded, the comfortable dynasty was crowded together, and they began to look at the map and talk about it, after all, the map is a satellite map of later generations, and there are some differences!

Lu Wang still didn't sleep, and Zhao Hu was chatting alone in the corner of the tent, "In addition to firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, etc., I also have a large number of strategic materials such as cement, give you twenty guns, five hundred bullets, five hundred steel knives, five hundred crossbows, gas canisters, gunpowder and steel wire, Zhang Long is responsible for training troops to fight pirates, you should do a good job of logistics and infrastructure, in order to prevent pirate raids, it is a bit too expensive to encircle the barbed wire fence around the island, but it is still necessary to circle your living area, and you need to build more watchtowers, or that sentence, In two months' time, I'm going to see this become an impregnable naval base! ”

"The subordinates are determined to live up to their mission, please rest assured!" Wang Chao hugged his fists, "Will Master Hou come back in two months?" ”

"Yes!" Lu Wang nodded, "At that time, in addition to our family's business, we will also have to meet someone here, if he comes in advance, you will be responsible for receiving him!" ”

"Who does Master Hou want to see?"

"Zheng Zhilong!" There was a hint of a smile on the corner of Lu Wang's mouth, and the night was getting darker and darker!

After Lu Wang got up, he saw Li Zekai twisting in front of the tent for the first time, and he seemed to be doing morning exercises, and he couldn't help laughing, "Brother, can you twist Yangge?" ”

"I know how to plant rice, I haven't heard of Yangge", Li Zekai smiled slightly, the tent was near the wharf, the sea breeze was still relatively strong, and he wanted to drill into the tent while talking, but was stopped by Lu Wang, "Come, brother, I'll teach you, it's funny", and twisted up like that.

Li Zekai looked very devoted, and also gave Lu Wang a very high evaluation, and said: "Girl-like" and got into the tent, the angry Lu Wang almost didn't vomit blood, if it weren't for the fact that he was an old man, he would have pulled it out and beaten him a hundred times a thousand times!

Lu Wang is leaving, his next stop is to Nanjing, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu are extremely reluctant, hugging Lu Wang and crying into tears, after all, he is just a young man, Lu Wang is also a little sad, "At most, I will come to see you two after I overturn the Qing army, you have to train well, you must know that Nanyan is also training sailors in West Lake now, and there will be a special naval base for our family in Hangzhou Bay in the future, you two don't be compared to him!" That's blind, I put so much money on your brothers! ”

"Don't worry, Master Hou, your subordinates will live up to expectations!" Zhang Long and Zhao Hu swore an oath, and Lu Wang nodded, "It's time for the New Year in half a month, treat your brothers well!" The active sailors will be rewarded with five taels of silver each, two taels of reserve soldiers, family members and handymen, and those recruited locally one tael of silver and one stone of rice per person, remember that our Lu family will never treat their own people badly, and let people remember that our Lu family is good and not afraid of us, if the silver is not enough, it will be mentioned from the shop, and I will say hello to Li Xiu! ”

"Enough, enough", Zhao Hu hurriedly said: "Master Hou left so much, enough!" ”

Lu Wang nodded, "That's good, take care brother, see you in two months!" ”

Looking at the helicopter in the sky gradually moving away, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu burst into tears and were reluctant to leave for a long time, just to take care of his brother before his marquis left!

Li Zekai also had blurred tears, he naturally didn't go to Nanjing with Lu Wang, and the people on the island would naturally send him to the Lu family commercial building in Wenzhou City, but this old man looked extremely lonely, looking back at the sky in the distance step by step, always sighing!
