open sea

Chapter 603 Wanted
In the remote Arabian Sea, a group of East Asian pirates sailing across the sea found an island and used the island as a base for their business expansion, building a large scale.

The humid and hot air scorched everything here, and the steaming heat caused Lin Feng to look at the people working on the distant coast from the window, and everything he saw was slightly distorted.

"Mr. Lin, it's not difficult to measure the distance from the sea chart, but please give me the general's navigation chart, which is the captain's record. I can connect the West City and the Kingdom of Lions and measure the distance."

Standing in front of Lin Feng was a young man with neat short hair that was different from that of the Ming Dynasty. A short pistol is stuck around the coarse cloth waist, and a white Western shirt is worn on the upper body, showing the outline of a fit body.

Lin Feng didn't directly agree, but frowned and said, "I remember you, Yang Qi, the artillery captain on Mr. Zhuang's ship—why, you can measure sea charts, when will the Japanese know this skill?"

According to the calculation of three to five hundred miles, these pirate captains who are living at sea are all good at it, but this voyage, especially after the war with the Mughals in the Bay of Bengal, they did not sail along the coast again. In terms of distance and angle, it is not These pirate chiefs can figure it out.

Lin Feng was very impressed by Yang Qi in front of him. He was a versatile Japanese. He joined Duke Zhuang in Phoenix City last year. He was the most skilled at firing blunderbusses. Looking at the body, it shouldn't be bad.

What impressed Lin Feng deeply was that he was specially rewarded with 300 taels of silver some time ago—during the war with the Mughals, this Japanese man named Yang Qi used heavy artillery to sink a large galley of the enemy army.

Yang Qi didn't answer, he turned back and closed the door, which caused Duke Zhuang who was standing beside him to put his hand on the long handle of the Japanese sword on his waist, and then he saw Yang Qi bowing down to the two of them, clasped his fists and said: "Because I was killed by Minguang He was wanted by the Nanyang military government, so he had to hide his name, and I hope Lin Lao and Zhuang Lao are not to be blamed."

Duke Zhuang frowned, but he did not let go of the handle of the knife: "Minguang, Nanyang Military Mansion, you are not Japanese?"

"My real name is Yang Ce, and he is a descendant of Dongwei Baihu in Fuzhou Fuzhen. He is a student of the first phase of the Warship Department of the Naval Lecture Hall. After graduation, he led Luzon Zuowei Nanqianhu. manage."

Lin Feng raised his hand to stop Yang Qi, and now it was Yang Ce, who stopped him from continuing, frowning and watched him from head to toe with prudent eyes.

The soles of the bare feet are wrapped in cotton cloth all the way to the calves. The thumb and the other four fingers are still separated naturally even if they are bare. They are Japanese feet used to wearing straw sandals and clogs.

Look at the trouser legs that are wrapped and rolled up high, not only for the ease of walking through water, but also to protect the soles of the feet and prevent slipping. This is also a skill that experienced pirates must know.

As for the thick cloth rope wrapped around his waist as a belt, Lin Feng didn't see anything special, but Japanese pirates and ronin like to carry knives like this, because most of their knives can't be hung directly on their waists.

The shirt on the top was snatched from Puyi, and there was still unwashed blood on the neckline. Would a disciple of the Son of Heaven from a hundred families wear this?
Not to mention he shaved his hair,

Duke Zhuang looked at Yang Ce very disappointedly, he still held the handle of the knife in his hand, but relaxed his vigilance a little and knelt down, saying: "We are all pirates, you don't need to use Chen Shuai's name to elevate yourself, I just want to Let you be the captain, why should it be so?"

In the eyes of this pirate leader from Japan, the gunner, who had high hopes under his command, was lying.

As the highest institution for training the navy in the Ming Empire, every graduate will be assigned to the army according to their grades. Even though some official positions may not be suitable for them, there will never be any student from the lecture hall wandering outside, let alone running to them. These pirates have taken over.

What's more, as Yang Ce said, he was wanted by the Nanyang military government and Fujian and Guangzhou provinces - the students of the Navy Lecture Hall are the darlings of the current Marshal Dongyang, who can tolerate even pirates and Japanese pirates like them, how is it possible to order Want your students?Could it be that he slaughtered the city?
"It's absolutely true. I dare to confess to the two leaders when I stay away from Nanyang. No matter how stupid I am, I won't make a lie about this matter. Anyone who finds Mingshang and asks about the matter of guarding hundreds of households in the east will know."

Unexpectedly panicked, Yang Ce shook his head lightly, and said: "In the lecture hall, I majored in warships, minored in artillery, and also learned Japanese and Western dialects. In the battle of Baigu, the first level was [-], and my subordinates won the battle. For the first five hundred or so, if I can receive a reward for military exploits, I should be the commander of the three guards guarding Burma."

"After being wanted, he evaded the pursuit of his colleagues, but was hunted down by coastal patrol fishermen as Japanese pirates because of his hair burnt during the war. He had to seize a boat and flee to Tangmin Island. He simply pretended to be a Japanese pirate."

Hearing what he said, Lin Feng believed three points in his heart. Surprised and curious, he reached out and asked: "What did you do, the Jiaojun Mansion and the two provinces are wanted?"

"Being obsessed with ghosts, I took two Portuguese concubines and sent a merchant ship to pass the customs during the cruise in Malacca. General Zhenshuo was transported on the merchant ship."

"Just because of this?" Duke Zhuang knows Yang Ce's talent better than anyone else. If it is true what Yang Ce said, he can surpass General Zhenshuo of Shimen. "Just because of this, he was wanted by the two provinces. Shuai, General Shao, didn't you bail for you?"

Yang Ce shook his head slowly, with a relieved expression on his face, he said: "Duke Gao first took charge of Nanyang, and he didn't give me a chance to refute at all. I followed Chen Shuai's military order to strictly enforce the law, and I was the first one. It's useless for anyone to intercede. He was sent to Junfu Island for his crime. Shoot him, and then he absconds."

Lin Feng did not show the same regretful expression as Duke Zhuang, he just raised his palm and asked, "The cannon, can it be transported out of the customs?"

Yang Ce shook his head. If he was lucky enough to escape, he would not be wanted: "Calculate the time, it has already dried on the rocks of Malacca."

"Gao Gong didn't do you wrong."

Lin Afeng got up and raised her hands and laughed, clapping her hands and said: "He will save you from a disaster, Lin will also have to be a general, besides gunnery and archery, what do you know, what are you taught in the naval lecture hall, tell me speak."

"Geography and celestial phenomena, topographic surveying and mapping, city building sanitation, marching supplies, and of course the art of war, tactical weapons and military system, warship structure, ship repair and sailing, all know a little bit. Except for the Japanese sword, there is no weapon that I will not use. Right now..." Yang Ce paused, clasped his fists again and said, "As long as Mr. Lin gives me the order to show me the charts and notes of the fleet heading west towards Africa and our voyages, I can take the lions out in at most three days." The location of the country and the distance route are drawn."

Lin Afeng nodded slowly, without even a little surprise on his face. In his eyes, Chen Mu is undoubtedly supernatural. The Navy Lecture Hall is full of mystery to him. His ability will not exceed his expectations, because his expectations for the graduates of the martial arts hall have no margin at all.

He just asked very naturally: "After that, what can you do for me to find out where the Lion Country is?"

Yang Ce raised his hand over his forehead and gently grabbed the broken hair on the top of his head, and said after deliberation: "Siege...all the bones are tied?"
