Chapter Eighth For Nothing Twelve Stealing Village
Lao Xu, a pockmarked face, stretched his neck and looked at the big ship in the direction of Bengang.
Yan Siqi, who was next to him, noticed and said, "Use this thing, this thing is very useful. You can see clearly even if you are so far away."
As he said that, he handed over the monocular in his hand.
Old Xu took it with his hands, raised his monocular lens with his right hand and looked at the big ship docked in Bengang.
Not long after, he spoke, "The person you mentioned just now should be Zheng Chao. He used to run the sea in the Nanyang area, and many sailors of the Tiger Flag were trained by him."
"Yes, yes, yes, it's him." Yan Siqi nodded repeatedly.
After reminding the people around him, he also remembered the name Zheng Chao at this moment, and knew that this person was called the instructor by a person with the tiger flag.
"No, the boat is a foreigner's ship, and everyone who carries the boat is Han people." Mazi-faced Lao Xu paid attention to the situation on the boat through the monocular telescope, and his brows frowned slightly.
Yan Siqi twisted the beard on her chin with her fingers, showing contemplation.
"It's really strange that the foreigners cannot sell their ships to us Han people." Old Xu murmured to himself.
At this time, Yan Siqi said, "I was in the room before, and you told me that the leaders of the tiger flag often went to their boat yards, right?"
"Yes, you said that they built a new ship, so they went to the yard with Qin." Mazi-faced Lao Xu took off the monocular lens and turned his head to look at Yan Siqi.
Yan Siqi raised the corner of his mouth and sneered: "This is a big ship with a foreign style in Bengang, which should be the new ship built by the tiger flag."
"Ah! Did they make this ship themselves?" Old Xu, a pockmarked face looked surprised.
Anyone who runs through the sea knows that the big ships of the foreigners are powerful, and some people want to build big ships like the foreigners in the past, but because there are no craftsmen who can build such ships, and it costs a lot of money to build such ships from scratch.
Many people who run to the sea would rather continue to use the lucky ships they have been using than waste their money on the big ships of the foreigners.
Yan Siqi reminded: "You forgot that the people with the Tiger Flag brought some Red-Furious Yi and Frankie people to the island, and later they all sent them to their yard, the ship from Bengang, should be
It was made by Red Mavericks and Frankie.”
"Those foreigners have been on the island for more than a year. I don't know how many big woods used to build ships have been sent. It seems that this tiger-shaped flag is really worth the money. He actually built a big ship like foreigners by himself."
Old Xu said face.
Yan Siqi heard this and smiled faintly and said, "It is a good thing for people with the tiger flag to build a big ship for foreigners. You can arrange for people to stare at Bengang during this period."
"The boss is ready to attack the person with the tiger flag?" Lao Xu, a pockmarked face, asked in a low voice.
Yan Siqi looked at the big ship in the direction of Bengang, licked his dry lips with his tongue, and said, "If such a good big ship is under his nose, if he doesn't do anything, he will probably give it to someone else for the cheap."
"Is the boss worried about Mr. Li?" Lao Xu asked back.
Yan Siqi snorted coldly and said, "As the saying goes, the power of a sick tiger is still there. Don't underestimate Li Dan's sick tiger."
Mazi-faced Lao Xu nodded and immediately said, "The big ship docked at the port of Benbian is a new ship. People with the tiger flag should go to test the ship, and they are afraid that it will take some time to return to port."
"Then keep a close eye on them and wait for their ship to come back." Yan Siqi said, then turned around and walked towards the Ten Villages.
Maziface followed closely and said, "Don't worry, my subordinates will arrange for people to stay here in Bengang day and night."
Yan Siqi did not look back and walked forward step by step.
The new ship with the Tiger Flag needs to go out to sea to test the new ship, and will not sail too far. At most, if you travel on the sea for ten days and a half months, you will return to Bengang.
Since the boat left Bengang, the people from Ten Villages guarded Bengang every day, waiting for the boat to return.
More than ten days passed, three fleets of ships under the banner of the tiger flag sailed into Bengang from the sea, and the only Galen ship sailed alone along the estuary into the deep water of Hanoi.
The river water is deep enough and wide enough that even a large ship like the Galen ship can sail safely.
Yan Siqi from the Ten Villages learned that the ship was back and summoned all the leaders of the Ten Villages to discuss the matter on the same day.
That night, the houses of Shizhai and Tiger Flag seemed very quiet, with only a few torches and flashing fires.
Under the night sky, behind the village wall, Zheng Tie stared motionlessly outside the village.
Yan Weixin, who was standing beside him, whispered: "Is the news reliable? Is it sure that the people from Ten Villages will come back to attack tonight?"
Zheng Tie smiled and said, "Don't worry, the news came from Ten Villages, it must be true. Moreover, during the day, Yan Siqi summoned several leaders of Ten Villages to his side, and it was obvious that something was wrong."
"What a pity, when we first came to Dayuan Island, Shizhai helped us a lot. I really didn't expect that we would have a day to fight with us." Yan Weixin sighed.
Zheng Tie sighed and said, "One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and Yan Siqi has long wanted to annex us. It is a matter of time to take action against us, but I didn't expect that he would take action so early. I originally thought he would wait until Li Dan died.
Then do it later.”
"Li Guozhu is not capable enough and cannot suppress the people below. Once Li Dan dies, the forces under his command will soon be divided." Yan Weixin said.
Zheng Tie smiled and said, "This is a good thing. Without Li Dan being suppressed by Hirado, our business will be better."
"That's true. Li Dan has made a lot of money from us in the past two years." Yan Weixin said.
Li Dan is the strongest maritime businessman at sea, especially in the waters of Japan and the waters of Daming, where almost no one dares to provoke him. Even the Red Mavericks and the Franks are unwilling to face Li Dan.
"Here you come." Zheng Tie suddenly said.
Yan Weixin stomped on the wooden wall with one hand and looked out the wall.
The sky was dark, there was no moonlight, and there were only some stars above his head, but he could still recognize that there were black shadows shaking in the distance.
Zheng Tie whispered to a person beside him: "Send the order and don't rush to fire the rifle gun first. It's too dark. When the enemy approaches, he will take action after he listens to my order."
The man next to him slowly retreated from the village wall and ran to other places to pass the message.
All the muskets used by the muskets on the Dayuan Island are the latest muskets. In addition, some people use spearmen and sword shield hands.
Zheng Tie lay on the wall of the village, staring at the shaking figure outside the wall of the village.
