Chapter 109 The Sea
Stealing a ship is worthy of being a pirate!
Chen Qianhu also thought so, with one purpose, to snatch these two big ships!
He wants these two ships too much, not only the ships, but also the guns on the ships, two centipede ships, 68 Franco cannons, no matter what method, he will get them!

"Do you have any connection with the bandits in Huangliangdu?"

In the dead of night, in the backyard of the Thousand Households, Chen Mu and Li Dan were drinking.

While pushing cups and changing glasses, Li Dan said: "It has nothing to do with it, but I have heard that they and the pirates attacked Xinhui."

"What do you know about them, tell me."

"Actually, it's nothing. Not many Japanese pirates in Haojing are willing to deal with them. There are too many people on the small boat, so it's not easy to do things." Li Dan shook his head, with a lot of contempt in his words, and said with a smile: "They have a few Ten boats, small fishing boats like the newly recruited flag army, the real masters are only thirty or fifty who are hiding in Lao'an Mountain with Xu Laoyao, and the rest are close to the people."

"When something happens, he shouts out and goes back to catch clams and fish. He has no ambition." Li Dan put down his wine bottle and put his two fingers on the stone table, saying: "If the righteous father wants to take them, just a little, don't fight them at sea. Two hundred households attacking the mountain on land can take down all their masters."

"It's not easy if it's at sea. There are many people and they are all sea people. They are good at swimming and swimming." Li Dan thought for a while, then leaned down on the stone table and said, "Just kill the leader of the thief, capture him and hide For those who went into the mountains, it would be difficult for the natives of Huangliangdu to get together again, leaving a few alive to press questions about their names. "

Chen Mu nodded. Li Dan's brain turned quickly, and he was also sensible, which he valued. After drinking a glass of wine, he asked, "What about you?"

"Ok?"

Chen Mu asked: "You said that the people in Huangliangdu have no ambitions, what about you, what ambitions do you have?"

"I?"

Li Dan was stunned for a moment, but took a careful look at Chen Mu, seeing that Chen Mu was interested and encouraging, and then said carefully: "I grew up in Haojing, and I don't know etiquette and don't know how to teach." , Please don’t blame the adoptive father for speaking inappropriately.”

Chen Mu smiled and said, "Tell me."

"My mother brought me to worship Mazu since I was a child. The Fanyi on the island said that my father was an old friend. The elders around him said that he collected taxes from the Fanyi in Shuangyu, and said that he had a three-masted ship that he had stolen, and the flagship had dozens of cannons. , saying that no one at sea is his match."

"Talk about Wu Ping, talk about Xu Hai, talk about Wang Zhi, talk about those heroes who are much more powerful than him, sail hundreds of miles across the world, have brave men, guns, and ships, and stand outside the law. Set your own order, and those who do not obey cannot live."

"None of them died at sea. Wu Ping was beaten to death by General Qi, Xu Hai was executed by Zhao'an, Wang Zhi died in prison, and my father, heh, disappeared with his Shuangyu."

"Father, what do you think will happen to the sea in the future?"

Chen Mu seemed to be split in two, and the two sets of values ​​were parallel in his heart. As a person of this era, he could see the impact of pirates on the coast, and even the deeper damage to the Ming Dynasty regime.

There is no wasteland in Qingyuan, but in Xiangshan, the [-] mu of wasteland is uncultivated, and people are keen to go to sea to plunder or smuggle and traffic. In order to quell the Japanese pirates in the past two years, many officials, soldiers and civilians died, and the Japanese pirates were the same. more.

This is an infighting.

The Nanyang, Dongyang, and Xiyang were given over to the barbarians from the West, and finally even the Beiyang was given to the barbarians.

"Others are copying and plundering the world, we are complacent."

Chen Mu shook his head and didn't continue talking about this topic. In fact, like Li Dan, he didn't understand what could and couldn't be said to the court.

"Copying the world, what my foster father said was that when I was a child, there were not many barbarians in Haojingao, and hundreds of Francine men built a few forts and set up a few archery towers, and it was us who were more. At that time they said , They came from the far western ocean, and later I heard that they occupied a large piece of land to the west of Ming Dynasty, bordering the Mongolian country, and said that the sea was called the Indian Ocean."

"Now there are thousands of Frangji people living in Haojing, and there are Japanese and other foreigners, the number is close to ten thousand. We have fewer and fewer ships. If we want to survive at sea, we need big ships and big guns. Frang Robots set up a cannon factory in Haojing and sold them to us at a very high price. In order to get money, more Japanese pirates went to plunder the sea, and merchants had to buy boats and build cannons to go to sea, and finally became new Japanese pirates. "

"Father, why can't Daming build his own gun factory and sell us guns and boats?"

It was only at this time that Chen Mu realized that the "we" in Li Dan's mouth did not refer to the two of them, but the Japanese pirates in a broad sense, the sons of Daming who lived abroad.

Facing the imperial court, both of them are outsiders, and the difference is nothing more than Chen Mu's deep integration and Li Dan's shallow integration.

In this era, everyone may have different ideas. The second-generation pirates like Li Dan have fundamentally different ideas from the first-generation pirates. For him, the Ming Dynasty is his root rather than his home.

He talked a lot and didn't mention his ambition, but Chen Mu heard only one ambition - he didn't want to die on the land of the Ming Dynasty.

"Father, the child has no other ambitions, and doesn't want to die on land."

Chen Mu didn't directly respond to Li Dan's words, but drank the wine in his glass, changed to a more comfortable sitting position, and asked with great interest, "Do you know how big the country of the Franji people is?"

"Half of Guangdong, it's just that big." Li Dan looked suspicious, but Chen Mu didn't explain, just went on laughing and said: "They are far away from Daming, surrounded by another country, and the Franji people should be called Portugal, surround them The country of Spain is called Spain. These two countries have strong sea power, and Catholicism is their common belief. The Pope draws a line on the world map, with Spain on the left and Portugal on the right, allowing Franz to plunder the whole world. "

"There is also the Netherlands, which is what we often call red-haired people; Britain, Westerners; their sea power is very strong, and their Japanese pirates are called explorers. They are funded by their royal family and form a fleet to conquer the world. Their means All the same, colonial."

"The so-called colonization is to use their ships and guns to go to a backward country, defeat the army, enslave the people, transport away the usable things, and exploit them year after year. As things go on and on, these small countries rely on other countries. Countries suck blood to get rich and become powerful."

"Daming is a big country, but it is no longer the kingdom of heaven in the past. One day it will lose its sea power, and the cannons and giant ships of the Westerners will bombard our city walls. It will also be defeated and enslaved."

"The world has changed!"

"I have no other ambitions."

Chen Mu picked up the jug and poured it clean, a raging fire ignited in his chest, he threw the jug and smashed it to the ground.

"Kill them and take back the fortune of the country!"
