In a short time, Kara the Nine Demons accompanied Shihisa Kayama to the ship, followed by his two older sons, Hisamasa Kayama and Yoshimasa Kayama. Jiuzheng is the eldest son who injured Chongwen and was broken by Chongwen's arm, and Yizheng is a young man who is ready to be Chongwen's entourage, and it seems that he is 15 or 6 years old at most. Kogoro waited on the boat, not daring to follow the devil's ship.

Huashan Shijiu looked a little nervous, and when he saw Chongwen, he knelt on the deck, touched his head on the deck and saluted deeply, not daring to get up, and the two brothers also knelt on the deck, and they didn't dare to come out.

Chongwen slowly walked up to him and looked at him quietly for a while before saying, "Zijiu, do you know what you are doing wrong?"

Shihisa Kayama said: "I don't think I can do anything and I'm willing to accept any punishment. ”

Chongwen shook his head and said, "You have a Rolling Sea Dragon King Banner in your hand, you should know: the same as the dead and dead, that is, brothers." Today I want to tell you, there is another sentence at the end: Those who carry their brothers will be punished. ”

The pressure on the head of Huashan Zijiu was lower, and the head of the moon generation was shaking slightly.

Chongwen paused for a moment and continued: "Dragon King Island helped you open up trade routes and gave you loans, counting on you to treat the people well, develop the fleet, protect merchant ships, and maintain sea routes. But you, without informing Longwang Island, gathered your life without authorization, and wanted to invade my parents' state, kill my people, and plunder Dakang's property, is this what your brother did?"

Kayama Shihisa said: "I am really ashamed to have failed the grace of His Royal Highness Dachuhai. ”

Birshan's Yoshimasa stepped forward on his knees and said, "Your Highness, Kyushu is really a poor place, and there is a lack of food in winter and spring. If you don't do anything, I don't know how many people will starve to death in 2 months, and my father can't do anything, so I beg His Highness Dadehai to forgive your father. ”

Chongwen sneered: "If you don't know that you are unintentional, how can Dragon King Island tolerate you, do you think these rabble under Fangjin City can withstand the bombardment of artillery?"

Birch Mountain trembled even more for a long time, and it took a long time to say: "In the next... Don't dare. ”

Chongwen turned his head, glanced at Birch Mountain Yoshimasa, and asked, "Yi Zheng, if you are the head of the Birch Mountain family, what should you do?"

Kayama Yoshimasa straightened up and said loudly: "I think that I should follow the teachings of His Royal Highness Dachuhai, stabilize the southern country, and take the opportunity to eradicate all these lawless pirates." ”

Erchuhai laughed: "Mother, this little guy is a ruthless character." ”

Chongwen pulled him up and said with a smile: "So your father has done it, take them to Dakang to die, the problem is that your father and son's lives will also be buried in the waves of the East China Sea." ”

Kayama Yoshimasa said in a low voice: "Lord Jialiang has already told us, the Kayama family is really beyond their means, and His Royal Highness Da Chuhai saved us again. But these pirates have already come, and they will never leave like this, they will hate the Birch Mountain family to death, and beg His Highness to save us again. ”

Chongwen didn't pay attention to this ruthless child, turned his head and said to Huashan Zijiu: "You all get up, we won't go to Fangjin City, you can have a drink with us on the boat, and don't insult the Huashan family." ”

Birch Mountain Zijiu bowed again and said: "His Royal Highness Da Chuhai said that he laughed, how dare you do it below." ”

Before going out to sea, he grabbed his arm, pulled him up, and said with a smile: "Get up, Da Wai Hai has forgiven you." But you have to remember that you must inform Longwang Island of major events in the future, otherwise it will harm us and yourself. ”

Only then did the father and son get up.

Chongwen ordered to anchor outside the harbor, let the catfish boy arrange a long case on the deck, take out wine and food to feast guests, and slowly talk to the Huashan family and the nine ghosts Jialiang. The people of Longwang Island also have wine and meat, and now that the ship is fully supplied, it doesn't hurt to eat and drink a few meals. Chongwen was waiting on the stern terrace, and the people of Longwang Island were on the upper deck, making fun of the pirates in the harbor with wine and meat.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Chongwen suddenly said to Huashan Yizheng: "Yizheng, you said that if you kill all these pirates in the port, the Huashan family is the only one, and the Nanqi Guohai will be safe?"

Kayama Yoshimasa bowed down and said, "I really don't know if there is any other way. ”

Chongwen looked at him and said lightly: "If you kill them, there will be others, as long as there is poverty in the world, the pirates will never be killed." He paused and continued: "How many people have you killed by the magnates of the country, and is the 66 country safe? Relying on brutal killing, you can solve small troubles, but you can't solve ** annoyances." ”

Kayama Yoshimasa said: "Please advise His Highness Da Chuhai, what to rely on to solve the ** trouble." ”

Chongwen looked at the seabirds flying on the sea, and was silent for a while before pointing to his head and saying, "You have to rely on your head, you have to learn to think first, so that your knife will not end up cutting on yourself." ”

Kayama Yoshimasa didn't quite understand, but now was not the time to ask, so he bowed down and said, "I've been taught." ”

Chongwen whispered something to the catfish, and the catfish went down to the compass cabin, took out a deerskin cylinder, and took out a chart from the cylinder and placed it on the long case. Chongwen beckoned the Nine Ghosts Jialiang and Kayama Shijiu to come over, pointed to the chart and said:

"Sailing south from Fangjin is a chain of islands, which stretches all the way to Dongfan Island, about 2,800 miles of sea distance, and this is the new route opened up by Yongwang Island. To the west of Dongfan Island, about 500 miles to the Moon Port of Dakang Zhangzhou. If you continue south from Dongfan Island, you can sail to the southern barbarian countries.

The climate on this route is warm and humid, and many of the islands are populous and thriving. Even those desert islands have most of the water, the land is fertile, the wild fruits are abundant, and the wild beasts are herd, so supplies are not a problem. What's more, this route is full of islands and references, and you won't lose course.

Your ships are too poor in strength and seaworthiness, and too small to travel too far by sea. But on this island chain, you can pass through, because if the sea conditions are bad, you can always take refuge in the Australian mouth of those islands to avoid the wind, and it is easy to replenish the water.

Of course, there are dangers, because I haven't surveyed all the routes, and we are not familiar with the sea conditions of the islands south of Yongwang Island. According to the situation in the northern part of the shipping route that we have mastered, some islands are 100 miles apart, and you may not have time to find a sheltered harbor in case of a storm, but it is much better than sailing directly to Dakang to send you to death. ”

Shihisa Kayama said: "Since ancient times, there have been routes to Ryukyu, and many pirates have been short of food in winter, so they sail to Ryukyu to plunder. But there is no such clear chart, this route is a ghost gate, and most people will drown in the icy waters. It turns out that this route can go directly to Zhangzhou... Your Highness is terribly aware, but with this chart, the new route is much safer than the Hirado route. ”

Chongwen ignored his sycophants and continued: "This route is 700 miles farther than the route from Shuangyu to Pinghu outside the sea of Dakang Ningbo Prefecture, but this route is safer, and the headwinds in winter can still sail north through the Kuroshio, which is very convenient.

What's more, this route avoided Dakang's most powerful coastal sailors. From Zhenhaiwei to the south, Jinshanwei, Hainingwei, Linshanwei, Guanhaiwei, etc., there are more than 2,000 naval warships. After King Yan ascended the throne, the sea ban became stricter, and the smuggling ports that used to flourish in the past, such as Shuangyu and Lieyu, could no longer gain a foothold. That is to say, it is difficult to get large-scale health goods on the old route, and the only way out is to go south to Zhangzhou, Fujian. ”

Chongwen sneered and said to himself: "Zhang Fu and Li Yuan, you two guys are so capable, but the Dakang Sea is thousands of miles away, can you fortify everywhere?" He ordered the catfish boy to take out another chart and continued: "This is the area of Zhangzhou and Raoping at the turn of Fujian and Guangzhou.

And at the other end of the route, you can sail directly to Sakaijo from the Togashi Kuni Sea, avoid the Mishima Matsuura Party, avoid the Ouchi clan, and avoid the countless pirate customs in the Seto Inland Sea. As long as you have a firm grasp of the Dongqi National Sea, this is a golden trade route.

At the end of the Kokuni route, there is also a branch sea route that can be run directly from Hirado along the south coast of Kyushu to Sakaijo, which is also a golden route, and I don't need to say much about its importance. Your birch mountain family has made great good fortune, and it happens to be between the old and new routes, which is a way for fools to survive. ”

The people of Dragon King Island burst into laughter, but the Nine Ghosts Jialiang and Huashan father and son clenched their fists tightly, resisting the urge to cheer and shout.

It is only today that the Great Voyage really opens up the full picture of the new route to them. Imagining the magnificent sight of merchant ships on this route in the future, what a great fortune it would be, these little pirates who had never seen the world felt dizzy and swallowed wildly.

Chongwen glanced at them and said coldly: "Zijiu, do you want to continue to do your old job and rob all the merchant ships on this route?"

Huashan Zijiu wiped his saliva, lowered his head and said: "Don't dare to do it, everything is at the command of Longwang Island." ”

Chongwen said: "It's still the same sentence, you have wiped out the business traveler who robbed this sea route, will you continue to drink the northwest wind?"

Nine Ghost Jialiang coughed dryly and said, "How do I wait for it, I have to go to sea to make it clear to His Highness." ”

Only then did Chongwen nod and said, "Not only can we not loot, but we also have to protect them, so that all the ships flying the flag of the Rolling Sea Dragon King can return and go safely, so that this sea route can truly become a golden mountain."

In the future, I will build a series of city bureaus from Zhangzhou Yuegang to Sakai Castle to ensure that there is a bureau within a hundred miles. There is a bureau and city in the bureau, which is responsible for providing food, vegetables, fruits and fresh water supplies for the ships, and there is also a ship machinery station in the bureau to provide maintenance and repair for the ships. Of course, there should be wine, food, teahouses and inns in the bureau, as well as casinos and brothels for merchants to rest for a short time.

In treacherous seas, we need special ships to guide merchant ships, and in places where thieves are infested, we also need to have convoys. To put it simply, we need to build a series of sea stations to solve the problems of the ships flying the flag of the dragon king of the sea.

Of course, this is all about collecting money, and we are the pioneers and defenders of this route, and whoever takes this road will have to go to Sakai Castle and Tsukiko to buy water. After buying water, our market bureau will provide all the guarantees, and we will compensate for the loss according to the price. If there is no flag on a dark and windy night, there will be a sea thief who will patronize it, and no one will die on the ship. ”

Nine Ghost Jialiang slammed his fist on the chart and asked loudly, "How much money do you get for buying water?"
