The Wanli Sunshine is traveling in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, with difficulty.

The lower reaches of the Yellow River are difficult to navigate.

Because the Yellow River carries a huge amount of sediment, it will precipitate in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, making the river water in the lower reaches of the Yellow River very shallow and unstable. The riverbed even often changes its shape, not to mention ancient times, even in later generations, the lower reaches of the Yellow River cannot run big boats.

With a draft of three to four meters, the Sunshine is difficult to navigate the lower reaches of the Yellow River.

If you are not careful, there is a possibility of running aground.

The sailors of Gaojia Village on the ship were so nervous that they were so nervous, if the maiden voyage ran aground the precious immortal ship, how could they give Tianzun an account when they went back?

Everyone was nervous, only Zhu Piaoling was not nervous.

He was excited: "Are we almost to the sea?" Where is this? Where is it? I've heard that the Yellow River has been diverted many times, but where do we enter the sea from there? I want to see the sea right away. ”

The most learned Shi Kefa stood up, shook his head and said with a smile: "During the Song Dynasty, Du Chong, who stayed in Tokyo (Kaifeng) to prevent the Jin soldiers from going south, broke the Yellow River, causing the Yellow River to flow from Si into the Huai, and for hundreds of years, the Yellow River has been entering the sea through the Huai River. ”

This kind of knowledge is yawned when ordinary people hear it, but Zhu Piaoling is addicted to it: "I see, it's interesting, it's interesting." In other words, we are not in the Yellow River at all, but in the Huai River? ”

Shi Kefa nodded: "Yes!" The mouth of the Huai River and the mouth of the Yangtze River are very close to each other, and the Yellow River flows into the sea through the Huai River, which has helped us a lot. ”

Zhu Piaoling was overjoyed: "Hahaha, I unintentionally actually swam the Huai River, happy." ”

"There's the sea ahead!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Piaoling's spirits were greatly boosted.

I have seen the sea in the distance, the coast is a golden yellow, this is the coast of the Yellow River "extended", the Yellow River coaxed by the ox pen, every year the coast can be expanded outward.

The magnificent sea, Zhu Piaoling was so excited that he screamed.

However, the eyes of Tie Niaofei, Jiang Cheng and others did not fall on the scenery, and their eyes immediately fell on a fleet on the sea.

"There's a fleet there!" Iron Bird Fei pointed to the sea: "There are six boats in total. ”

"Merchant fleet, like?" Jiang Cheng took out his binoculars: "Those ships are carrying goods." ”

Iron Bird Fei was a little happy: "I, a merchant on land, the first time I went to sea, I met a merchant on the sea, it is really fate, should we say hello to them?" ”

As he was saying this, Jiang Cheng's face had changed slightly: "Something is wrong, it's not an ordinary merchant ship." ”

Iron Bird Fly: "??? ”

He quickly took out his binoculars and looked at the ship in the distance, and the expression on his face immediately became unsightly, it turned out that the merchant ship not only contained goods, but also tied up a lot of people.

It's all women.

Tie Bird Fei said in a low voice: "There are two possibilities, one is that this ship not only sells goods, but also resells people, and it is an illegal merchant ship. The second is that this is a pirate ship, and the goods on board are robbed, and the women are also robbed. ”

Jiang Cheng nodded: "It's not good, they have taken a fancy to us." ”

At the same time, the two of them saw in the telescope that several people in the opposite fleet were looking at their side.

Jiang Cheng raised the telescope up and looked at the other party's flag: "I don't know the flag, there are a bunch of mushrooms painted on the flag." ”

Iron Bird Fly: "What mushroom?" That's Ganoderma lucidum! I'll count, there are eighteen Ganoderma lucidum painted on the flag, strange, what does this mean? ”

At this moment, the Tianzun embroidery on Iron Bird Fei's chest spoke: "Eighteen Lingzhi?" It could be the fleet of the Eighteen Zhis. It's strange, Zheng Zhilong, the boss of Fengyun Eighteen Zhizhi, should have accepted the appeasement many years ago, shouldn't his banner still be in use? I'll have to think about it. ”

Li Daoxuan hurriedly checked the information, but he didn't know if he didn't check, and he only figured it out after a check.

At this time, the famous big pirate group "Fengyun Eighteen Zhi" on the southeast coast has been scattered, and the boss Zheng Zhilong has accepted the recruitment of the imperial court, but there is still a person named Liu Xiang among the eighteen Zhi, who is still continuing to be a pirate.

Liu Xiang is a comprador of Spain and Portuguese, backed by Westerners, and does not give face to the Ming Dynasty at all. After Zheng Zhilong accepted the appeasement, Liu Xiang continued to use the banner of Eighteen Zhi and run rampant and domineering on the sea.

However, this guy hasn't jumped for a few years, just in the eighth year of Chongzhen, that is, this year, he will be cleaned up by Zheng Zhilong, drawing a tragic end to Fengyun Eighteen Zhizhi.

Li Daoxuan returned to the embroidery on Tie Bird Fei's chest and said, "That may be the last pirate Miao Miao in Fengyun Eighteen Zhili, Liu Xiang's ship." ”

"Then it's still a pirate." Iron Bird Fei shouted, "Hateful pirates, be careful. ”

Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes and complained: "Outside the iron staff, the pirate, half merchant and half thief, is actually similar to your salt lord, the difference is only one on the sea and the other on land, don't point and scold the pirates for being hateful, review yourself." ”

Iron Bird Fly: "Hmph! You don't know this, our salt lords will only fight with Chaoyan's inspection and catch, and at other times, they sell salt in a proper manner, not robbery! How can robbery make money quickly by selling salt? ”

Jiang Cheng: "......"

Iron Bird Fly: "Hey, don't talk awkwardly, the other party is here." ”

Jiang Cheng turned around and saw that it was suspected that Liu Xiang's fleet was coming towards him.

Those who come are not good, and those who are good are not coming.

"What to do? Are we going to speed up? Zhu Piaoling also realized that the situation was wrong at this time, and jumped over from the ground and began to care about the battle.

Iron Bird Fei nodded: "The strength of the enemy and me is unknown, the best way is to slip." ”

Jiang Cheng also thought so.

At this moment, Shi Kefa opened his mouth: "If we slip away, what will happen to those women who are tied up?" ”

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone was stunned.

Immediately he looked ashamed.

That's right, why did you forget the woman on the boat opposite.

Embroidery Tianzun also opened his mouth at this time: "Those women must be saved, this is the soul spirit of our Gaojia Village, with such a spirit, we can distinguish ourselves from those officers and soldiers and rogues, think about it." ”

Jiang Cheng: "My subordinates understand. ”

Iron Bird Fly: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed." ”

Zhu Piaoling shouted: "Tianzun Fa Decree, you can't escape!" Beat them up......" He just opened his throat and shouted, and the dead soldier behind him jumped up and pulled Zhu Piaoling into the cabin alive and protected him.

Jiang Cheng also shouted loudly: "Ready to fight." There is no need to hide strength on the sea, the cannon can be used. ”

Shi Kefa suddenly spoke: "Those women were tied to the deck, and when we fought with them, the artillery and firearms were beating indiscriminately, it was difficult not to injure them by mistake, Jiang Jiaoxi, this battle was not so simple." ”
