Twenty and into the wolf's den
From the aisle in the cabin all the way down, the three of Rimai were escorted, and finally reached the bottom cargo hold.
The cabin was littered with all kinds of cargo, but it was unpacked and bare on the floor.
In the center of this floor is a three-foot square plank. After opening it, there is actually a dark compartment underneath.
The three of them were escorted to the entrance of the dark grid, and they couldn't help but say that Anzi was pushed down by the one-eyed young man.
The bilge is not high, and Yasuko's head touches the top panel. Then the light from the entrance showed the whole dark compartment unobstructed: the interior was about a foot square, supported by eight columns, and there were no windows on all sides, and there were no candles. Inside, about 30 people huddled against wall panels or columns.
As soon as Anzi came, everyone looked up at him, but as soon as their eyes touched, they all lowered their heads.
"Bang!" When Rimai and Xu also jumped down, the passage was resealed. The entire bilge was plunged into total darkness, except for the gap between two chopsticks at the entrance, which spilled a glimmer of light.
The three of them also looked for the pillar and sat down against it.
"Brother Xu, what should you do next, wait until you go ashore?"
As soon as An Zi finished asking, a person in the corner looked up at him sharply: "Tangren?" The man didn't wait for a response, and quickly crawled over from the crowd: "You are also Tangren?"
Anzi was overjoyed: "Yes, yes, my name is Anzi." Are you?"
The man approached, only to see the appearance clearly, although it is an authentic Henan accent, but the face is dark and thin, and the real water and real wax people are not much different. He also took a closer look at Anzi and the others, and said slowly: "Why are you all at sea, and you are still caught." โ
After briefly explaining the rescue, Anzi asked the man's origin.
"Just call me Brother Sun. My ancestors were from the Tang Dynasty, but I was born in 'Cham'. It is the craftsman of 'Gu Ji (dรก) Luo'. and they have taken them captive. โ
Cham was a small border state in the Tang Dynasty (present-day south-central Vietnam), bordered by Shui Chenla (present-day north of Cambodia and south of Laos) to the left, Annam Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty (present-day Yunnan and northern Vietnam) to the north, and Nanzhao (present-day Guizhou region of Yunnan, the predecessor of the Dali Kingdom) to the northwest. With the gradual development of shipping in the Tang Dynasty, the shipping routes of Dashi (present-day Arabia, Yemen and other places) to the Tang Dynasty, and the shipping of countries along the route have gradually developed, and Cham is one of them.
The Cham country is long and narrow, and is divided into four regions to the south, each ruled by a hereditary chieftain. One of them is the "Ku Jala", which is the largest treaty port of Champa.
"Who are they?" Xu actually only knew where these places were, but he still asked.
"They're Javanese pirates! You don't even know this?"
Javanese pirates are the general name of dozens of pirate bandits near Shuichenla, Cham and Tang Annam. Because most of these pirates' nests are on the islands near the Java Sea, they are called Javanese pirates. (Java, present-day Java, Indonesia).
Brother Sun cleared his throat and deliberately lowered his voice: "This time, the government actually received the news early in the morning. It is said that a dozen pirates have formed a coalition to attack our Gumara. Troops were transferred from nearby early to garrison, and in addition to the coastal defense army, even the city defense army and the township soldiers were organized. Who expected ......"
Brother Sun sighed: "Who would have thought that this was actually a trick by the pirates, they seemed to be attacking on a large scale, and dozens of ships that came to attack the city were beaten away not long after, and the coastal defense army thought that it was a complete victory, and they wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue Lian Guoduan, who expected that this was actually the pirate's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain." โ
"Your coastal defense army is also too greedy, and the whole army pursued without leaving any people?" Anzi had already guessed the result when he heard this, and he felt sorry and couldn't help but complain a little.
"This can't be blamed on the coastal guard, the Javanese pirates have become bigger and bigger over the years, robbing a lot of merchant ships, and even our people living on the shore have been bullied a lot. This time it was hard to win a big victory, and everyone thought it was a good ambush, and even the coastal defense army pursued it in the midst of gongs and drums. Everyone wants to get rid of these pirates so much. Halfway through the story of Brother Sun, he continued:
"By the time all the city defenses were dispatched, in less than four hours, twelve more ships of the Javanese pirates came. This is where their main force lies, these slaughtered the city defense army of our ancient Khtara and ransacked the entire city, and even the statue of 'Lord Shiva' was snatched by them. And we, the young men, were taken away by them to be sacrificed to men. โ
"What is a human animal? โ
"It's slaves! The Javanese pirates take us back to their lair and sell us. โ
In other words, the human and livestock business in Java is actually one of their main sources of wealth. Sometimes it's even easier than robbing property outright. Therefore, almost every pirate has such a human and animal prison at the bottom of the ship. In the early years, the city defense army and the coastal defense army could be sold at a good price because of their strong physique, but after these soldiers were sold, there were a lot of troubles, and now no one has bought them, so there is a slaughter of the ancient city defense army.
These animals are usually returned to the pirate's lair first, and then collected by the special smugglers island by island, and resold to the next level of smugglers. These animals were resold layer by layer, and finally arrived in Datang, Zhenla, Tianzhu, Tubo, Nanzhao, Fusang, Silla, and even Dashi.
"Hey! I've been arrested, but I blame that I didn't hide it at the time, what else can I do? Leave it to fate!" Brother Sun sighed again: "Zuo is just a lifelong coolie for others." โ
There was a silence in the bilge, and Anzi looked at Rimai's eyes, as if his thoughts were constantly racing, and he seemed to have been communicating with Xu.
"Do you know how many pirates there are on this ship?" Xu, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly asked Brother Sun in a low voice.
"There were forty of them, to say the least. I don't know very well. At that time, a total of twelve boats came, a total of three or five hundred people. So when you do the math, it should be this number on every boat. โ
"Are there any of you who are driving this ship?" Xu asked lightly.
Brother Sun was stunned for a moment, but still in Cham dialect, he asked these animals in the bottom bilge.
Anzi looked at Xu with an incredulous expression: "Brother Xu, do you mean you want to ......?"
Brother Sun struck up a conversation with the two of them, and in order to lower his voice, he leaned over to the two of them again and whispered.
Xu Ye turned his head to An Zi and said: "Rimai can sense it, the three people who led just now are probably only in the late stage of the establishment period, and Rimai alone should be able to barely cope with it." The others are just ordinary martial artists."
As soon as he finished speaking, Brother Sun also came back, his eyes flashing with longing: "Ask clearly, there are three fishermen here, and when the time comes, we will give them a hand, and it will be no problem to drive the boat." What do you want to do with this big brother?"
Xu looked calm: "Listening to what Brother Sun said, once this ship returns to Java Island, no matter whether it is full of masters or not, just those hundreds of pirates, we have no way, if we want to go back, there is only one way." โ
"It's a hijacking!"
On the other side, two big ships finally sailed towards the wreck where Li Bing was.
Seeing that he was about to get closer, Lao Li Tou stopped treading water, climbed onto the board of the ship from the sea, looked up at the flags hanging on the top of the two boats, and finally settled down in his heart: "Fortunately, it is the coastal defense army of the Cham country! Not pirates." After speaking, he turned back to a coolie in the sea and said, "Shunzi, you can speak the words of the Chams, and you will explain to them in a while!"
The young man answered, and climbed onto the deck.
The coastal defense army fell down the ladder, and Li Bing's seven people went up one by one.
All the sergeants on the ship were dressed in brown wooden armor, each piece of wood was two fingers wide, and the pieces of wood were connected by hemp rope to form a vest, which could protect against swords.
After a brief conversation, the coastal defense army looked at the clothes of Li Bing and the others again, and was considered to have dispelled their vigilance and handed over water and food.
The officers and soldiers on the ship didn't say much, but just let Li Bing and them go to the cabin to rest, leaving only Shunzi on the deck, and asked again.
As soon as Li Youfu's body touched the bed, he fell asleep. He has never suffered since he was a child, and he has really been choked up in the past few days. Li Bing cut his hair and lay on the bed, finally a little more relaxed.
After a while, Shunzi also came back, and said to Li Bing: "Those coastal defense soldiers, still ask you." Talking about what is going on with those lights, and asking me if you and Master Puyuan are masters. โ
Junko was in a good mood after being rescued, and she was always smiling. He sat on the bunk and said to Lao Li Tou:
"Their affairs were also clarified, it was the coastal defense of Champa Gughara who chased the pirate's ship out to sea, and the pirates scattered. They chase a pirate ship and go deep alone, only to be thrown farther and farther away by the pirate ship. So I didn't want to make a detour to save us, but then the pirate ship really ran away. They made a detour to save us. โ
As he took off his shoes, he quipped, "Well, thanks to the pirates for running fast!" After speaking, he also lay down on the bunk: "Today, the coastal defense will look around to see if they can find the nest of the Javanese pirates." If you still get nothing, you will return to Cham the day after tomorrow. When the time comes, we will look for another ship to return to Datang. โ
Junzi and Lao Li Tou chatted a lot of gossip, but Li Bing didn't hear it again, and he was exhausted, so he fell asleep on the Chase bunk.
Come back, does anyone read it? If someone reads it, leave a message, cheer or something, let me know.
Working during the day, it is indeed quite tiring to code words at night. Your encouragement is the biggest motivation for me to continue to codeword.
Thank you for your support.
Thank you for the fourth! 20 And into the wolf's den
