Daming Haikou

After the ship entered the sea area north of Dongshan Island, it began to turn the rudder and sailed towards Dongshan Island. While working, Yu Xiaotian heard from Liu Laoliu that there used to be a Tongshan Village of the Zhangzhou Army on Dongshan Island. In the early years, it was mainly set up to prevent and prepare for the Japanese. Earlier, it was said that there were dozens of warships such as blessing boats, sentry boats, and winter boats in the Tongshan village here, as well as more than 1000 sailors.

In the early years, when the Japanese plague was serious, Marshal Qi (Qi Jiguang) also presided over the anti-Japanese affairs here, but after Qi Jiguang was transferred to Liaodong, the Tongshanshui village here was gradually abandoned, and the warships basically rotted but have not been replenished. , the number of original sailors became less and less, so that by this time, Tongshanshui Village had already existed in name only.

But Dongshan Island has fresh water, and the government has laxly controlled this area. Over the past few years, merchant ships passing by have come to this area to replenish fresh water, or buy some food on the spot, and they can also take shelter from the wind or repair at the southern end of Dongshan Island. vessel.

Now they are going to Dongshan Island to add some fresh water to meet the needs of the next boat to Macau.

Yu Xiaotian learned more about things along the coast from Liu Laoliu's mouth, and at the same time, he could see that Liu Laoliu was an old sea wolf, and he knew quite a lot about the things along the coast of Fujian and Guangdong.

After the ship turned around, the wind on the sea began to increase, and the waves also increased, making the ship start to bump up and down. Xiaotian was heartbroken when he heard that, and was very worried about the boat, for fear that if the wind and waves rose, the broken boat would disintegrate on the spot.

After finishing the work at hand, Liu Laoliu turned his head to see the worried expression on Yu Xiaotian's face, observing the boat from time to time, so he laughed, patted Yu Xiaotian's shoulder and said, "Mute! Look at you Haven’t been on a boat before! Are you seasick?”

Yu Xiaotian shook his head, indicating that he was not seasick, and pointed to the boat, Liu Laoliu immediately understood Yu Xiaotian's meaning, so he continued to laugh: "Don't worry dumb! This boat is not a few years old. , the owner is willing to spend, the wood used is good, and it can withstand strong winds and waves! Even if it is used for a few years, the boat will be fine. The boat is a good boat, but it needs to be taken care of. , some pirates only like to pick new ships to start with, and if the clothes look a bit shabby, some pirates will look down on them!"

After Yu Xiaotian heard this, he saw that most of the people on board were calm and composed, and he was relieved a lot. In addition, he knew why the boat looked dirty. It turned out that the owner intentionally All he did was to prevent pirates from staring at his ship!

However, Yu Xiaotian still does not agree with the consideration of the ship owner, it is fine if the hull is a bit dilapidated, the things that are long on the bottom of the ship should be cleaned regularly!In addition, the inside of the cabin should at least be kept clean, so as to at least ensure the health of the boatman. It can be seen that although the owner has this consideration, the people on the boat are lazy enough!

Probably because of the unevenness of the area, the atmosphere on the ship was a little more tense than before. That Shangdou had already climbed onto the mast, and began to look far away from the mast, monitoring the situation on the sea, while the other people on the ship If nothing happened, I would glance at the surrounding sea from time to time.

As for Ma Biao, he became much more honest after Xiaotian suffered a lot from his hand, and now he started to lead his three subordinates to get busy, and they led people to show off in the cabin and brought out a lot of things.

Yu Xiaotian saw it, hehe!Unexpectedly, they had so many weapons on board the ship. Among these weapons, there were knives, spears, sharp axes, bows, arrows, and of course a few planks. The crude shields made are basically enough for the boatmen on the ship to hold. It can be seen that those who run the ship on the sea still have a strong awareness of preventing pirates.

What makes Yu Xiaotian a bit contemptuous is that although these people prepared weapons on board, they didn't treat them kindly. Except for the bows that were put in cloth suits, which were well preserved, the others were all The rusty spots eroded by the salt spray at sea make it look ugly.

Then Ma Biao and others brought out a few more items, which surprised Yu Xiaotian a little bit, he didn't expect that the owner of the ship had prepared firearms.

Yu Xiaotian is no stranger to weapons. It is impossible for a young man like him not to like to play with this thing, so he recognized at a glance that two of these guys were the famous three-eyed guns of the Ming Dynasty. , In addition, there are actually two matchlock guns.

In the Ming Dynasty, firearm technology had been popularized in the world. In addition, the Ming Dynasty also paid more attention to the manufacture of firearms. Many firearms, three-eyed artillery pieces and artillery were produced and equipped in the Ming army. Later, through the Korean War The iron cannons captured by the Japanese and the matchlock guns brought to China by the Portuguese developed the very famous bird blunderbuss, as well as the imitation of the Western countries' Franco cannon and Hongyi cannon.

Therefore, the development of firearms in the Ming Dynasty was relatively good, but what Yu Xiaotian didn't expect was that there would be such a guy on private merchant ships. Biao's relationship, as well as the distrust of the people on board, was afraid of causing misunderstanding by the people on board, so he gave up this idea.

However, he was not very fond of this crude primitive musket. First, he doubted the quality of gunpowder in this era. In addition, he also expressed doubts about the quality of this musket. It is said that this thing is loud, but its power is limited, and It is very dangerous to use, because the craftsmen are not skilled, and the corruption of officials and officials is common, the craftsmen can only cut corners, and the firecrackers they make are easy to explode, so when he doesn't know whether the quality of this thing is safe , Even if he was given a shot, he would not dare to use it.

So although he was curious, he didn't show it, he just glanced a few more times out of the corner of his eyes, and went about his business.

Although the wind has increased and dark clouds have begun to appear in the sky, Liu Laoliu told Yu Xiaotian based on his experience that the wind will not be too strong, and there is no need to go to Hong Kong to avoid the wind, at most it will rain lightly, there is nothing to worry about , Yu Xiaotian glanced at the waves outside the boat that started to become rough, and basically let go of his heart.

In ancient times, there was no weather forecast. When running a boat on the sea, there are experienced boatmen on the full-screen boat to judge the weather conditions. Liu Laoliu has been on the sea for a long time. ** is not far from ten, so Yu Xiaotian doesn't have to worry too much about the danger of this ship.

Probably because they haven’t seen land for many days, and now they are sailing towards Dongshan Island, and guessing that they will see land soon, Yu Xiaotian seems a little excited. The boat comes to realize the desire to enter the sea, but after drifting on the sea for a long time, after a long time, I still yearn for the down-to-earth feeling on land.

In the past few days, Yu Xiaotian has undergone great changes such as life and death and time travel, and it is understandable that he longs to be down-to-earth again. Even if he can't leave this boat right now, but he can dock and move a little bit on the shore. It is also something to look forward to for him.

Ma Biao saw Yu Xiaotian again, and stared at Yu Xiaotian viciously from time to time, as if he wanted to swallow Yu Xiaotian in one gulp, but he didn't say anything to provoke Yu Xiaotian again. It seems that he still remembered the lesson just now. You Xin guessed that his ribs still hurt a little at the moment, and Yu Xiaotian didn't bother to talk to him. In this environment, strength is undoubtedly the decisive factor in determining a person's status. Even a person like Ma Biao has to Concede a little to Xiaotian.

According to Shipowner Liu's instructions, Yu Xiaotian sent a bundle of short spears to the ship's side, raised his head to look far away, and wanted to see if he could see land, when suddenly there was a loud noise above his head. Shouts.

"Boss! Two boats are coming ahead!" It turned out to be the upper dog clinging to the mast shouting from above.

Everyone on the boat heard the shout of Shangdou, so they all rushed to the side of the boat, stretched their necks and looked forward.

"Is it possible to see where it came from?" Liu Chuandong ran to the side of the stern building and asked loudly while looking forward.

Yu Xiaotian couldn't stand the curiosity, he also stretched his neck and ran to the bow of the ship to look forward, but he didn't find any sails on the sea except for the vast waves, that's why he specially sent people to climb The reason for going up the mast is that the surface of the earth has curvature, and the higher you stand, the farther you can see. No wonder people on the mast can see it, but those who stand on the deck of the ship cannot see it.

"Boss! It's too far away, I can't see clearly!" The upper dog on the mast watched vigorously while replying loudly.

"Keep an eye on the top, look carefully! Everyone else cheers up!" Liu Chuandong shouted loudly.

As a result, the people on the boat suddenly seemed a little nervous, and each ran to their responsible positions, the one who adjusted the sails, and the one who steered the helm.

Yu Xiaotian comforted himself, he is unlucky enough now, he should not be unlucky again, probably this place is already close to Dongshan Island, and it is reckoned that a passing ship like them may have encountered here by chance!

However, his self-comfort did not last long. After the ship continued sailing for a certain distance, the top fighter on the top yelled loudly again: "Master! The momentum is not good! The two boats hoisted their sails and turned around." Rudder, come towards us!"

After hearing his shout, everyone couldn't help but feel a little bit in their hearts. Even Yu Xiaotian, a rookie, could imagine that, in this case, instead of sailing towards Dongshan Island, the two boats turned around and headed towards Dongshan Island. If they drove over, they would certainly not have any good intentions.

So Yu Xiaotian immediately pointed at God in his heart and yelled: Thief God, you fucking want to play with me to death?First I was thrown into the sea, and then I was thrown into this unlucky era. I was almost drowned on the spot and fed to the fish. I was rescued on this broken boat with great difficulty. Now you **** sent two more A pirate ship, isn't this purely to play with me?

Thinking back to when I went out to sea with my uncle that day, I must have not read the almanac, and bumped into a certain road, which made him end up like this.

Seeing that Liu Chuandong's expression changed, he shouted sharply: "Do you see clearly? Where did they come from?"

"Boss! There is no flag on their boat! It looks like two little lucky boats!"

Shipowner Liu's face became more and more ugly, he muttered something and yelled at the people on board: "Turn around! Hoist the sails! We won't go to Dongshan Island! Let's avoid them!"

When the people on the ship heard this, all of them looked unhappy. One by one, according to the owner's instructions, they began to adjust the sails and turn the rudder, turned the course of the ship to the southeast, started to raise the sails, and accelerated to leave here.

Not long after their ship turned around, the upper dog on the mast shouted again, this time his voice was a little trembling: "Boss! Those two ships have also turned their sails and turned, and they are still coming towards us! They If you don't hang the banner of the official army, it's not good to come!"

This time, the boat seemed to be bombed, and there was a sudden chaos. Everyone rushed to the right side of the ship's side, stretched their necks vigorously, and looked towards the sea outside the starboard side.

Not long after, everyone saw that on the sea level in the southwest direction, the sails of two ships began to appear in the waves, but the distance was still far away, so it was hard to see what kind of ships they were, but they could be roughly seen. The two boats were coming towards them.

Yu Xiaotian cursed secretly in his heart; I'm really afraid of something coming!Lao Tzu's life is really bad enough!Anything can happen!

"Don't think about it, they must have come with bad luck, come back! Turn around again, hoist the sails, and head north with the wind! They might be the people of the sea kite! Damn, what a bad luck! Ma Biao, prepare to save the ship !" Liu Chuanowner's face turned a little livid at this moment, and he roared and cursed angrily.

Everyone on the boat ran back to their responsible positions again, and even Yu Xiaotian ran to the side of the wooden wheel used to raise the sail under the mast, and began to help the rest of the hands, turning the wooden handle of the wooden wheel, The sails on the ship are all up...
