Chapter 307: An Unexpected Misunderstanding
Pingdongmen Island, with an area of more than 90 square kilometers, was originally just a pirate den, and later with the development of navigation technology, the coastal countries in the southeast of the river gradually carried out maritime trade, and actively opened up sea routes, so that Dongmen Island, which is located between the forest country and the Banguo country, gradually highlighted, coupled with its unique natural environment and fresh water resources, the initial development speed was rapid.
If it weren't for the fact that there has been no strong force to coordinate and manage, Dongmen Island has been in a state of scattered sand for a long period of time, and the heroes of all parties are competing endlessly, the development momentum of Dongmen Island will definitely surpass Suwu County, which is not as good as Suwu County, and it will not be comparable to Suwu County, which was built a year earlier.
There is only one wharf on Dongmen Island today, so all the goods are transferred, concentrated, loaded and unloaded here, and the profits flowing are huge, which inevitably attracts many greedy eyes, so here, in addition to the direct forces of the island owner who rules Dongmen Island on the surface, it is also the favorite active place of gang members, which can be described as a mixture.
Yong Mid-Autumn Festival is a low-level bag coolie on the East Gate Wharf, and he is also a member of the Brave Gang, one of the two major gangs on the East Gate Wharf, don't look at his current work is hard and tiring and can't make a lot of money, but it is barely enough to feed his family, this is because he is a member of the Brave Gang, he got it under the arrangement of the gang, and others have no chance to work hard.
Therefore, for the current life, Yong Mid-Autumn Festival is very satisfied.
On this day, as usual, Yong Zhongqiu and a few brothers who were also carrying bags on the dock rushed to the dock early to wait for business to come to the door.
Just came back from a business trip, everyone took advantage of the gap to find a place to sit down and rest, and by the way to recover their strength, in the process, I don't know who started it, a group of people pointed to the docked ships on the dock and chatted.
"Hey, this 'Black Ant' Chamber of Commerce is really wealthy, a six-hundred-ton ship from the water, how many goods do you have to traffick, and how much money does it make!"
"Huh, the dirt buns, aren't they? People don't all use them to load goods, no, do you see, the biggest one in the middle, it's specially for the Black Ant Shao Owner to enjoy!" Coolie B pointed to a three-story boat that looked the most beautiful on the outside, and said proudly, "My cousin's brother-in-law, that is, Little Duckling, once went up once, according to him, the ship named 'Golden Sun', the floor is all precious mahogany, the hall is covered with soft carpets, and the furniture is decorated with exquisite patterns... I even heard that there was a large bathroom on the ship, and the bath was the size of a house, and the black ant young owner often took a group of singers to bathe in it... Tsk, I don't know the importance of fresh water when I run the sea, but they are good, since they waste so much fresh water to give them less proprietorship // fun..."
"Is it really the size of a house?, how much firewood do you have to burn?" the coolies exclaimed.
"Cut, no matter how luxurious the repair is, what's the use of it at sea, the one over there is the fat that is delivered to the door. When the coolies were amazed, the coolie was full of disdain, and pointed to a slightly smaller sea ship docked on the other side, "See, warship! This is the protagonist of the sea! Look at the big crossbow at the bow, that shape, full of power and domineering, it is really intoxicating! Look at the long lever, it can even smash a small boat with one blow at sea." ”
The coolies did not refute the statement of coolie C, and they did not think that coolie C was bragging, because coolie C was different from them, before he did their business, he ate public meals, and Lin Guoshui was born as a low-level officer, and later because of the old-fashioned offense to his boss, he had to leave the water division in disgrace, and he didn't even dare to stay on the mainland, so he had to run to this overseas island to live.
"Huh, let's go, there's a new ship coming, don't let the grandson of the Kaolin Gang take advantage. Just as everyone was talking, a sharp-eyed coolie inadvertently glanced at the open sea, and hurriedly jumped up and called friends.
"Where, where?" everyone stood up one after another, even the former sailor officer, although face is important, it is far less important than stomach.
"I see it! There it is!" the crowd quickly rushed up, and immediately everyone else saw the approaching boat.
"Huh, why does this ship look so weird, I've never seen it before!" someone looked surprised.
"It doesn't matter what it looks like, as long as it has a job to do!"
"But looking at the way it looks, how many goods can it hold? I think we're looking forward to it in vain this time!"
Siwen, the former officer of the Naval Division, squinted at the strange ship that was approaching in the distance, and with his six years of experience in the Naval Division, he had never seen this ship, which could not help but arouse his great interest.
I saw that the body of the boat was slender and long, like a barracuda, the bow of the ship was raised high, and when it was close, it was found that its speed was jaw-dropping, and the white waves under the bow were churning, and in the blink of an eye, it was close to the front, and then a beautiful big turn, setting off a half-moon-shaped white line, which was spectacular.
"Why don't you leave?"
"White rejoice!"
"What do you think it's doing around outside, it's not here to step on it, is it?"
"Are you stupid, how many warships do we have on Dongmen Island, just a thin bamboo pole?
"Maybe he is in the vanguard, and the big army is behind! Otherwise, you say that he keeps cruising back and forth and doesn't come in, what do you want to do?"
Finally, as soon as the man finished speaking, at the sea level of Yuanfang, ten more black shadows appeared one after another, slowly coming towards Dongmen Island.
There was silence on the shore for a while, and suddenly...
"Enemy attack!"
I don't know who shouted, and most of the coolies gathered together dispersed in an instant, and even some other unknown people ran away.
Most people were puzzled, but immediately everyone saw the sea ship gradually becoming clear in the distance, and then thought of the reaction of some people just now, they faintly felt as if they had discovered the truth, and for a while the dock shouted and became a mess.
Siwen was squeezed into a corner with a confused face, and he couldn't figure out how he suddenly collapsed!
"Captain Zhang, there is Dongmen Island in front. "On the flagship 'Qi Jia', Wan Li Chengyun said to Zhang Qian beside him with a smile.
When they arrive at Dongmen Island, the Huaxia Pathfinder Team will be divided into two, one part will be led by Wu Bingjian, the deputy captain in charge of commerce, and stay on Dongmen Island, and the other part will continue to move forward and go directly to Lin Guo.
