After hearing what Zhang Tuohai said, the Unsullied and the Dancer were the first to make their choices.
They knelt down and expressed their loyalty to Zhang Tuohai and followed him to the ends of the earth.
They are all second-generation slaves. They have been trained and raised since childhood. They have become accustomed to having a master leading them, and they have been completely solidified.
It is no longer possible to integrate into normal human life.
If they are allowed to leave on their own, they will not even be able to integrate into the circle of normal people, or even survive on their own abilities.
Therefore, these people naturally chose to regard Zhang Tuohai as their new master.
Even if Zhang Tuohai doesn’t have a whip in his hand.
The first pirates who followed Zhang Tuohai also meant the same thing.
They don't have any legitimate skills to make a living. As long as they have a way, they won't live a life of licking blood with their swords as pirates.
Even if you leave, it's just a matter of changing ships and continuing to be a pirate.
Instead of going to a strange ship, it is better to continue to hang out with Zhang Tuohai on the ship.
At least Zhang Tuohai's men don't have to worry about being thrown into the sea by their accomplices after being injured.
Finally, there are the slaves.
These slaves hesitated and divided into two groups. Some of them, who had no means to earn a living, stayed on the ship to make a living with Zhang Tuohai.
Another group of craftsmen don't want to be precarious pirates all the time. They want to return to the crowd and be ordinary people. With their skills, they can make a living even if they find a job as a worker in a workshop. It's better than licking blood every day with a knife.
Strong.
These people want to go ashore.
Although Zhang Tuohai was a little reluctant to part with these craftsmen, he still decided to let them go ashore.
Now that they have given up their minds, staying on the ship will only be a waste of food. At a critical moment, they may even sell themselves for their own worth and life.
Therefore, instead of keeping these people on the ship, it is better to let them go ashore, and the remaining space can be used to store more supplies.
What surprised Zhang Tuohai was that the old chef actually wanted to go ashore.
In this regard, the old chef's explanation was that he saw that Zhang Tuohai's goal was not in Lei Minghai and wanted to go further, but the old chef was already old and did not want to die outside, and his hometown was not far ahead.
He wants to go back to his hometown to see.
Zhang Tuohai nodded and agreed to the old chef's request, and gave the old chef a sum of money, which was regarded as his pension.
After excluding those who were about to go ashore, Zhang Tuohai counted the number of people. The White Bird now has a total of 30 pirates (including newly joined slaves), 40 Unsullied people, 10 song and dance girls, and a little rich woman Yin Lisabai.
, one for the little girl Linda, and one for Polly the parrot.
Zhang Tuohai reorganized the division of labor, with the pirates responsible for sailing and cannon shooting, and the Unsullied responsible for gang-hopping operations and daily patrol maintenance.
Yin Lisabai was promoted to chef, Linda was the sous chef, and the showgirl was responsible for looking after, scrubbing the deck and helping the cook.
The Unsullied upgraded their leather armor into the metal breastplate worn by elite royal infantrymen.
At the same time, each person was issued a flintlock gun.
Times have changed, and we cannot rely solely on cold weapons to fight. At critical moments, we should use barrels of guns.
After several battles, especially on the battleships of the Royal Navy, Zhang Tuohai grabbed a lot of lead bullets and gunpowder, so he took out a batch and specially let the Unsullied do musketry training.
The singing and dancing girls knew that the relatively free life in front of them was hard-won, so they worked very diligently. Except for one who was in charge of lookout, the remaining few did a general cleaning on the ship.
In addition to the deck, every corner of the ship was carefully scrubbed, and all the dead spots that had accumulated dust all year round were scrubbed clean.
Even the dark dining table was wiped out of its original wood color.
After driving for more than half a day, Li Mo discovered a small village. It looked like it was built by players, with farmland orchards, a small dock, and several fishing boats.
Several large chimneys were erected, emitting black smoke. I don’t know what kind of workshop they are.
It seems to be developing pretty well.
Zhang Tuohai was in a good mood and had plenty of supplies. In addition, the purpose of docking this time was to let those people disembark, so he gave up the idea of grabbing a handful.
The ship docked at the pier, a long gangplank was set up on the pier, and the slaves disembarked from the ship one by one.
The Unsullied and the pirates lay on the bow of the boat, looking at the small village curiously.
Zhang Tuohai also left.
At this time, a group of people also walked out of the village.
Five or six militiamen armed with spears escorted the two women out.
Zhang Tuohai had sharp eyes and recognized at a glance that these two people were old acquaintances, Su Mu and Su Qi.
Unexpectedly, these two people also entered here.
Zhang Tuohai remembered that the last time they met was in the spiritual space. After he wrested control from Liuli, he raised the souls of the two people in the spiritual space.
"Who are you? What's the reason for coming to our village?"
Su Mu asked cautiously, one hand pressing the flintlock gun on his waist.
Su Qi didn't say anything, but also tightened her grip on the spear in her hand.
Zhang Tuohai lamented that things in the world are impermanent. The last time they met in the spiritual space, the three of them were sleeping together. The two parties knew each other's roots. However, this time they forgot their memories and felt like strangers.
"I am a passing captain and want to see what specialties are available here. Another group of people want to get off the ship and use the road to leave from here." Zhang Tuohai said.
"That's it." The two sisters Su Mu and Su Qi looked at each other and let out a sigh of relief.
"Our specialties here are honey and drunken shrimp. They are all freshly pickled. Do you want to try them?"
Su Mu said and asked someone to bring two large clay pots and open them in front of Zhang Tuohai. One was slowly filled with honey, and the other was filled with drunken shrimps. The taste was very pure.
"That's right, 40 cans of honey and 60 cans of drunken shrimp." Zhang Tuohai said with a wave of his hand.
Hearing Zhang Tuohai's words, Su Mu's face turned red: "I'm sorry, because the flower field has just started, there are only 8 cans of honey, and only 12 cans of drunken shrimp, but if you give us some time, there will definitely be more."

"Is that all there is? Forget it, load them all for us. I'm on my way in a hurry. Calculate how much it costs, and I'll ask the first mate to bring it down and give it to you directly."
Su Mu did the math and found a total of 2,600 dinars.
"Let the first mate bring the money down, and find a few people to move the goods back."
Zhang Tuohai said to Polly, the parrot beside him.
"Gah!" Polly the parrot flapped his wings and flew back to the ship.
"It's amazing. This parrot is so spiritual. Can you sell it to me?" Su Qi's eyes lit up as she looked at Polly's figure.
"Sorry, this is my crew and is not for sale."
Zhang Tuohai shook his head.
The first mate quickly ran off the ship with his men, and both parties counted the goods, and both money and goods were paid.
After chatting on the shore for a while, Zhang Tuohai learned that the two of them had just established a foothold here and were actively looking for sources of goods. They originally wanted to save a batch of goods and build ships to sell, but they met Zhang Tuohai.
Zhang Tuohai also introduced several seaports that are relatively close to them to facilitate their trade.
Before boarding the ship, Zhang Tuohai leaned closely into Su Qi's ear and said: "In the future, don't use your measurements as passwords."
