Chapter 706: Entering the Port
"Shopkeeper, the local officials at the port said we were unreasonable. They did not see any pirates entering the port at all. They also asked us to leave quickly and prohibit us from entering the port for supplies and trading." On the deck of the sea ship, a steady and steady translator explained to Dong Qing with a wry smile.
"It's really shameless!" Dong Qing sneered after hearing this. They obviously followed the pirates' butts and watched each other enter the port, but the natives in the port were obviously scoundrels and even prohibited them from entering the port. It was simply shameless. But this is also the nature of the natives in the South China Sea. They did too much of this kind before, and the port belonged to them, so they were not afraid of these maritime merchants from other places.
At the same time, the Tuguan Chali of the port sat on a high building in the port, drinking the good tea provided by the Song merchants while looking at the fleet outside the port. He was originally from the royal family, so he was appointed here to manage the entire Gantuli Port.
Gandoli Port is the largest port in the Kingdom of Buddha. Although the capital Boehrington is also a famous large port, it is the capital. There are too many people watching it. The oil and water of the port have long been divided up by some people. In comparison, although the size of Gandoli Port is not as large as that of Boehrington, there are many ships passing by here. Even if the tax revenue is only increased a little, countless wealth can flow into his pocket every month.
However, Cha Li still felt that the little tax he collected was too little, so over the years he had people pretended to be pirates and robbed the passing fleets. After all, most of the fleets that were coming and going had to trade supplies at the port, so he could easily find some fleets with sufficient oil and water. However, he did not expect that he would hit the iron plate this time. Not only did the robbery fleet fail, he also lost more than a dozen ships, which made him quite annoyed.
"The losses of more than a dozen ships must be made up for the loss of the Song people!" Cha Li said while drinking tea. The speaker looked at the Song people's fleet outside the port that he refused to enter the port. If possible, he really wanted to rob the fleet. However, the person who fled back just now reported that the fleet was very strong, so he did not dare to do anything randomly. After all, the pirates sent out just now were actually the navy of Gantuli Port.
"Father, do you want to drive this fleet away?" At this moment, a young man suddenly came forward and asked. The young man was Chali's youngest son Biluo, and he also liked his son. He even planned to hand over the Gandoli Port to him after he died.
"No need. If the fleet cannot enter the port, it will be impossible to replenish supplies and trade. They should be anxious. We just need to wait slowly!" Cha Li said patiently at this time. He was over fifty years old and had already passed the age of impulsiveness, so even if he was angry, he could still maintain calmness and demeanor.
Hearing his father's words, Bi Luo immediately praised his father's wisdom, which made Cha Li laugh. The reason why he liked this son was not only that this son looked like him the most, but also because his mouth was like a smear of honey, which made him very happy every time he spoke.
However, just as Cha Li and his son were talking, the native slave next to him suddenly screamed in horror, which made Cha Li want to get angry. After all, in his eyes, the slave was simply a group of talking animals and could be executed at any time. However, when he looked at the port with the slave's terrified eyes, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide in shock.
"Kill into the port, those who dare to stop will be killed without mercy!" On the merchant ship, Brother Zhou drank all the wine in the gourd in one mouthful, then pulled out his waist knife to convey his orders. On the various merchant ships, all the people who were originally hiding in the cabin rushed to the deck, and they all looked fierce, and they didn't look good.
With Brother Zhou's order, Dong Qing immediately ordered the fleet to charge with all his might. The sails of dozens of merchant ships also rushed toward the port at the fastest speed, which also scared the ships in the port, especially some native ships managing the port, who hurried forward and called for intercept.
However, Dong Qing turned a blind eye to these native ships and directly hit someone. Anyway, their ships were tall and strong, and the natives drove some small boats, which looked like a toy in front of their merchant ships, and some were directly pressed under the boat. The native officials who used to be arrogant to pass by also screamed and jumped into the sea, but they still shouted and scolded Dong Qing and the others.
Dong Qing ignored these natives at all, because from today onwards, these natives will no longer exist. As the merchant ships advanced at full speed, all the ships that blocked them in front were knocked away and soon rushed to the docking dock. At this time, Dong Qing ordered the slowdown. When their ship had just stopped at the dock, Brother Zhou was the first to jump off the bow of the ship and rushed to the high building at the dock, because Dong Qing had told him early in the morning that the tall building was the place where the local officials worked, and as long as they occupied it, they could control the port.
There were not only natives on the pier, but also maritime merchants traveling from all over the world. At this time, they saw so many people rushing down from this Song Dynasty fleet, and they were all murderous intent with long swords. Although they didn't know what happened, they were very wise to find a safe place to hide.
However, the natives who managed the dock could not retreat at this time. Soon some local soldiers rushed to stop them. Some local officials wanted to ask about the purpose of these people, but they were cut off their limbs by Brother Zhou who was rushing in front. Blood splashed several feet, and screams also rang through the sky.
"What a cruel guy!" Dong Qing on the bow of the boat looked at Brother Zhou who was rushing in front of him, especially when he saw the other party killing people, he never cut off the other party's vital points, but preferred to cut off the other party's limbs and let the other party lie on the ground scream. Brother Zhou, who was covered in blood, showed an expression of enjoyment, which made him feel cold in his hands and feet, and he secretly swore that he must deal less with people like Brother Zhou in the future.
Dong Qing and his friends' raid were too sudden, and the natives on the dock didn't react at first. Only a few hundred native soldiers stepped forward to stop them, but they were quickly massacred by Brother Zhou and other vicious people.
In fact, Dong Qing and his dozens of ships did not carry any cargo at all, but carried nearly 3,000 people. These 3,000 people were mostly fierce men who retreated from the army, and their hands were stained with blood. Because the Song Dynasty rectified the army, many soldiers withdrew from the army for various reasons. However, some people were used to the life of licking blood from the knife in the army and were unwilling to go back to their hometown to farm. Dong Qing might have paid a lot of money, so he quickly recruited these 3,000 people.
However, that brother Zhou was not recruited by Dong Qing. In fact, this brother Zhou has a good background and seems to be from a general. Even if he withdraws from the army, he is not able to recruit such a person. However, Li Zhang is behind Dong Qing, so Brother Zhou is willing to come, but he is only responsible for leading troops and does not have to obey Dong Qing's orders. In a sense, Brother Zhou is Dong Qing's partner.
Brother Zhou’s name is Zhou Liang, a very ordinary name. Usually this person is like a drunkard. He never gets drunk when he is drunk. He just speaks a little straightforwardly and is not willing to pay attention to others. However, when he arrives on the battlefield, he is like a tiger coming alive. Almost no one of the natives is his enemy. After he rushes over, enemies with broken limbs screaming everywhere on the ground.
Zhou Liang was not only brave, but also commanded his three thousand men while killing the enemy. These three thousand men had been rectified by Zhou Qing before they came, and they began to execute Zhou Liang's orders without hesitation. In the blink of an eye, they rushed across the dock and divided into three teams, two of which stopped the local soldiers coming, while Zhou Liang personally led a thousand people to kill the tall building on the dock.
