When King Zheng Yang saw it, he said to a young guard beside him: "This ship is waiting for the high tide, and only when the tide rises and the water level is deep enough can they leave." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info You take two people and find a way to dive into the boat. Where's the next unloading point for this ship?"

The young guards took the order, and a group of three people dived to the other side of the big ship in the sea, and used the special climbing iron claws of the team to grasp the board of the ship and climb step by step towards some portholes that were not yet closed.

After the three of them successfully dived into the sea ship, King Zheng Yang said to the remaining seven people: "We are divided into two teams, search this island, as long as we search for a general form, if there are pirates on the ground, write down the location." If there is a cave entrance, make a note of the location as well. In this operation, we do not seek merit, but seek no fault. Don't be discovered. After an hour, the return to this convergence. ”

After that, the eight people were divided into two teams, and King Zhengyang led a team and began to search and explore Gaoshan Island, at this time, the sky was already as deep as ink, and it was the darkest time before dawn.

The island is very large, the mountains on the island only occupy a quarter of the whole island, most of the rest are gentle hills, due to the perennial moisture of the ocean, the island is rich in dense vegetation, and in some places there are even monkeys and beasts.

The team led by King Zheng Yang mainly explored around the high mountains, but after walking around, they did not find any natural caves. In other words, the huge caves in the mountain walls and the storage places for goods are most likely artificially excavated.

Even on land, this amount of work is extremely large, let alone in the ocean, all tools, wood, stone, iron and stone need to be transported by sea ships, let alone built, and the transportation of materials alone must cost a lot of money.

It can be seen that this organization has strong financial resources and a wide range of connections, and Cui Chengxiu is indeed worthy of the title of the king of the sea in the northern Xinjiang area.

Seeing that he was going around like this, King Zhengyang had no clue, so he prepared to explore more deeply on the island in order to find a few better landing sites.

As he was walking, a voice suddenly came from a beach not far away, and there were many torches illuminating it, and the light emitted was quite eye-catching in the dark night.

The beach here is not the same as the beach where the sea ships unloaded. The water is shallow, and it appears that the ship parked is a medium-sized cargo ship.

King Zheng Yang looked through the telescope, only to see a group of people coming down from the boat, led by a woman in blue, with a delicate face, a temperament like Zhilan, and a slender figure.

And a young man behind her, his lips are like scarlet, his eyes are like paint, his face is like a pile of Qiong, his appearance is natural and upright, and his whole body exudes a heroic atmosphere.

King Zheng Yang looked at it in the binoculars, was taken aback, and said secretly in his heart: "Isn't this Cui Chengxiu? It is exactly the same as the portrait drawn by Duan Qianqiu." I can't imagine that he is hiding on this island hundreds of miles offshore?"

The woman in blue was very intimate with Cui Chengxiu, holding hands, and under the escort of a group of big men, she walked from the beach to the ambush place of King Zheng Yang and others.

King Zheng Yang turned around and looked behind him, only to see that it was the entrance of a dense forest, "Could it be that the entrance to the cave mansion in the island is in this dense forest?"

He hesitated, Cui Chengxiu and the others were already getting closer and closer. King Zheng Yang hurriedly beckoned his men to sneak into the grass of the dense forest and hide.

The grass is deep and the forest is abundant, once hidden, it is difficult to be found unless you go to the front to investigate.

King Zheng Yang and the others crouched in the grass on a slope at the entrance of the dense forest, waiting with bated breath for Cui Chengxiu and his party to approach.

After a while, Choi Sung-so and the others passed down the slope and walked straight along the forest path to the depths of the forest.

King Zhengyang and the others tiptoed away, and finally saw Cui Chengxiu and others walking under a towering big-leaved boxwood, knocking on the trunk of the tree with a weapon, and then suddenly flashing on the branches of several equally tall trees within a few feet behind the boxwood, as if a candle was suddenly lit.

King Zhengyang can see it clearly in the telescope, these trees are just shaped like real trees, in fact, they are hollow, and there is a speculum on them, and when someone approaches, the people underground will know.

At this time, Cui Chengxiu took out a jade plaque from his body, and the jade plaque met the firelight, emitting a fluorescent blue brilliance, like a meteor falling from the sky to the world in the night.

At this time, the boxwood tree suddenly moved away, revealing an entrance to the tunnel that led directly to the ground, and Cui Chengxiu and the woman in blue led a group of people to enter from the corridor. Then the boxwood trees moved back to their original positions, and the fires in the surrounding trees were extinguished. Everything fell into darkness and silence again.

King Zheng Yang breathed a sigh of relief, and motioned to his subordinates to retreat outside the forest by the same path.

After exiting the forest, his subordinate guards asked King Zheng Yang, "Master, do we want to go to other places in the dense forest to investigate?"

"No need," King Zheng Yang said: "The purpose of this trip has been achieved, and it is even a surprise, and if you go in to investigate, I am afraid that you will be discovered." We will return the same way we came, and go back to report the situation on the island to Lord Duan before making plans. ”

At this time, the sky was already white, and when King Zheng Yang and his men returned to the original landing point, they saw that the large cargo ship on the beach had sailed away.

They then swam to the confluence point at a huge protruding reef five nautical miles away, boarded a lifeboat hidden in a crack in the reef, and sailed dozens of nautical miles away before boarding the receiving ship and sailing back to the state capital.

......

On April 19, the 36th year of the Dajing Dynasty Tianbao, it has been 21 days since Duan Qianqiu came to Dengzhou Mansion.

On this day, Duan Qianqiu, as the envoy of the maritime affairs of Henan Province, was in the Yashengtang of the Dengzhou Assassin Mansion, and convened high-ranking officials, including the Henan Provincial Disposal Envoy and the Dengzhou Assassin Governor, to bitterly explain the great harm caused by pirates and illegal shippers to Dajing coastal defense and shipping, and even said that the illegal and illegal private maritime trade is simply a move of the beetle country, and it should be vigorously banned and banned, otherwise where is the national law and the face of the imperial court will exist.

The ministers in the hall were shocked when they saw Duan Qianqiu's face suddenly change, and they changed their previous position of loudly calling for the lifting of the sea ban and the abolition of the trade ban, and suddenly became as if they were not in the same place as a group of sea ship trade merchants.

But Lord Qincha represents the emperor, and now that the ban on the sea has not been abolished, Duan Qianqiu's move is reasonable and legal, and there is nothing wrong with it, although he does not understand, he can only follow it.

Therefore, from now on, the naval division of Dengzhou Prefecture began to sweep all passing merchant ships in the sea area, and all those who violated the prohibition of sea ships going to sea to do business were seized once they were intercepted.

For a time, the shipping terminals in Dengzhou Prefecture were swept away like autumn wind, and the flow of ships, goods, and people was swept away.

Rumors abounded in the rivers and lakes: "Cui Chengxiu refuses to negotiate with the imperial court, and the imperial court is cracking down on its forces, and other maritime merchants are just suffering by the way." ”

Under Duan Qianqiu's strict order, all maritime affairs in the waters outside Dengzhou Prefecture were banned, and only the battleships and high-rise ships of the Dengzhou Navy Division were cruising on the sea.

A large number of smuggled merchant ships saw the sudden change in the direction of the imperial decree, and in order to avoid the seizure of the whole ship, most of them headed to Gaoshan Island, seeking other ways to trade money and goods.

For a time, the mountain island is full of thousands of ships, thousands of masts stand in a forest, and it is a wonder to look down from the sky!
