Chapter 602 Four Kings
In just one day and night, the two flying sharks, which were twice as fast as ordinary warships, circled the island for a circle and returned to the shore where they landed. There, a stone monument has been erected by pirates—Xi Dacheng.

Lin Feng sent people to recruit the local natives, wanting to know how far it is from Mugudushu, and which direction to sail, but they couldn't even ask people's names because of the language barrier.

Only when he pointed his finger at the ground under his feet, he barely heard a word from the aborigines.

"Black cloth."

This name is not so nice. Lin Feng not only changed the name of this place, but also changed the name of the aborigines. He brought more than a dozen people from various villages, including men, women, old and young, and asked the pirates to teach them how to explain the meaning of the dynasty. Mandarin.

"Going westward from the sea chart should be a piece of continental land. It's very hot, and we didn't deviate too far."

Lin Feng was shirtless, with a bamboo hat crookedly buttoned on his head, pointing to the sea map on the table in the built grass and wood hut, and said to several captains under his command: "Africa is still to the west, we must find the wooden bones. It is said in ancient books , this country is rich in good iron—with iron, there are weapons and guns, and our first priority at this time is to send the fastest flying sharks to sail west to find land!"

"People on the island should not be idle, build houses and prepare for defense."

In a brand-new land, Lin Afeng casually tied her long hair behind her head with a silk cloth, and clapped her hands with excitement in her chest: "We're going to have a big fight here!"

Several pirate leaders who have long been famous in Nanyang nodded their heads, but Li Mao showed a thoughtful expression, looked around, frowned and asked cautiously: "Mr. Lin, do you plan to return to the voyage?"

Many leaders also realized that Lin Afeng meant to build a city and set up a port here. It wasn't that he didn't plan to go back for a year or so, but that he didn't mention returning to Minguang from the beginning to the end, which caused people to look at each other in dismay.

Among them, Shi He felt indifferent the most. He was more like Lin Daogan in his heart, and he was full of distrust for the officials of the Ming Dynasty. For him, the farther away from Nanyang and Xiyang, the better. Now this place is just what he likes, and he said with a smile: "Sounds like The leader doesn't intend to go back."

"Everyone who is majestic on the sea, makes waves on the coast of the middle of the country. Before we gather, which one has not conquered a strong city and a huge country? Are you planning to be a pirate for the rest of your life? Chen Shuai said something that Lin always remembers. He is The only court official who treats us sea tycoons as citizens of Ming Dynasty."

"He said that among the many sea heroes in my Ming Dynasty, except Zeng Sanlao, who was beaten to death, none of them died at sea. They either died of internal strife, or they went ashore when they were old, weak and late, and were captured and killed by the court."

"Although we are no more than ten thousand people, all the people are soldiers. We also have large ships and heavy artillery. Overseas, there are only a few thousand Boyi who dare to call the country. We are invincible in attacking cities and conquering land. Can't we still be called kings?"

"Call, call the king?"

This is too exaggerated, several pirate leaders looked at each other, this is too exaggerated.

Although their fleet is large and powerful, there are only four thousand Han Chinese, hundreds of Japanese, thousands of Luzon, Malays, and Burmese, as well as Mughal Turks who were recruited and captured along the way. Safi Persia and the Portuguese, such a chaotic joint fleet of Asian pirates, are very reluctant to take care of the internally chaotic factions. Now they say they want to claim the king?

Really attractive!

Li Mao's momentum was three points lower, and he didn't dare to speak so casually. With a bitter face like an old farmer, he said: "This is too hasty, no one else cares, we have a large population in Fujian, which one is the king? Let alone others People of all countries, each bow, how easy is it to establish a country and become a king?"

No one could understand the meaning of Lin Feng's words. Now Lin Feng must be the king. He has all the Fujian pirates under him, and his subordinate Zhuang Gong also controls a group of pirates who are not afraid of death. He is also the general leader of the Fujian-Guangzhou pirates.

But the problem is that none of the other chiefs are Hokkien. Li Mao, Su Da, and Shi He are all Cantonese, and they don't even know what is going on between the Han people, let alone others who can't understand each other because they reluctantly obey orders.

Shi He glanced at Li Mao, and said: "It's not difficult for Mr. Lin to become the king. Brothers, you will be the king, but then, if you don't go back to Malacca, there is water on the island, but there is not enough food. I see The land cultivated by the islanders is in a mess, and there is still enough luggage for four months, so we have to knock down all the bones, or send grain ships back to Tangmin Island."

"But we have to talk about whether we can find the boat back when we come back."

Shi He actually wanted to become king in Panshilan City, but after seeing Chen Mu's Nanyang Fleet, he put down his thoughts and said in an indifferent way: "In my opinion, it is too late to become king. Let's go first." Let’s settle the food—it’s not too late to talk about it.”

Lin Fengduan sat on the chair, crossed his hands on the table, glanced over one by one, and asked flatly, "Is there anyone else who wants to say anything?"

"First of all, make an agreement. First, we will not return to Daming. From now on, we will discuss matters together like before. Second, no matter where we go, what we call ourselves, we will not be called emperors, but we will respect the son of Ming Dynasty, Zheng Shuo, and compare ourselves to vassal kings. Thirdly, , Ming merchant ships do not attack or seize; violate the three laws, and attack in groups."

After finishing speaking, Lin Afeng raised his hand and pointed at several people one by one, starting from Li Mao, Su Da, Shi He, and finally himself, and said in turn: "King Dan, King Qiong, King Guang, King Min, from now on, the four kings will rule together. .”

Before the three pirate leaders could react, Lin Afeng had unfolded the map, drew two lines on the map with a hand pen, and said: "Take the big city in the west as the east boundary, and the four kings will open up to the west until Dongyang Chen Handsome America, attack the city, take the goods, and recruit the people before they come."

"When Flying Shark finds out where all the bones are located to the west, the troops will pretend to be merchants and sneak into the city to sell goods in batches, buy food and transport them back to the island. Avoid it when you drive, and only look for bright ships. Yin Zhengmao has gone to the west, and soon there will be merchant ships passing here, and we will meet with them to transport luggage from Burma."

"When the merchants come, we will also send ships to Burma. In this way, Xidacheng will soon prosper."

The three pirate leaders were relieved, and the four kings ruled together, so that they would not be afraid to kowtow to Lin Feng. Although they agreed that Lin Feng was their chief leader, they felt a little unhappy at the thought of Lin Feng being king and asking them to worship him, but This problem no longer exists.

When several people nodded, Lin Feng raised a finger and said: "One more thing, the four of us must not attack each other, and the attack will be dispersed. Even if there is no benefit to each other in the future, then expand westward , the vast ocean is waiting for us to conquer."

"As it should be!"

Shi He, who was born in Qiongzhou and had fought against the Portuguese in his early years, laughed and climbed onto the table, covering the area of ​​Europa with his palm, and said, "The Portuguese traveled far across the sea to plunder Lao Tzu's hometown. One day I will Go back, snatch it back a hundred times and a thousand times!"

　Good morning!
