The clouds in the sky are ever-changing, some turn into S shapes, and some turn into B shapes. As the dark clouds accumulate, the visibility on the sea gradually becomes lower.
There are several sharp-bottomed sea-going ships with worn-out white sails on the sea that cannot be seen by the fleet. The sea-going ships are not big. Each sea-going ship can accommodate about thirty to fifty people. In addition to the deck, there are two cabins on the ship.
, there are also two rows of paddle boards on the side of the ship, which can be accelerated manually when necessary.
These boats hung far behind Zhu Pingan's fleet, hiding in the waves like a poisonous snake preparing to attack its prey. Because the visibility was very low that day, these small boats
It's not big either, so it's well hidden and doesn't show any trace at all.
These small boats staring at the fleet are the "armed merchants" who are robbing houses on the sea. Well, to be precise, they are pirates. These people call themselves armed merchants because the things they rob will be sold to the Japanese people.
They seem to be dumping goods, and they are euphemistically called "merchants", but in fact they are all pirates with a lot of evildoing.
The pirates on the ship looked a little down and out, and there was a mix of people. Some were wearing Hanfu, and there were also many ronin wearing shabby island country clothes. They were chattering in the sound of birds, some were barefoot, and some were wearing clogs.
Among the pirates, there are also some people with flat heads who don't wear any clothes at all, only wearing old and yellowed crotch cloth between their legs!
"These beasts are so immoral." The shirtless pirates wearing Hanfu on the same ship glanced at these guys wearing crotch cloth and curled their lips in disdain.
"Daddy, you don't understand. This crotch cloth is the best fabric in Japan. It absorbs sweat very well. We have never had hemorrhoids because of it." There is an island nation who wears a crotch and has a crotch.
Ronin spoke broken Chinese and pointed at the yellowed crotch cloth with a proud look on his face.
"My surname is Di! I'm not your father!" The shirtless pirate was very unhappy. He reached out and slapped the ronin, "If I had sons like you, my ancestors would have to crawl out of their coffins.
"
"Hi! Daddy." The ronin in the loincloth received a slap in the face and immediately straightened his bowed legs. He cheered proudly.
The other islanders laughed and looked at this scene without feeling any dissatisfaction.
Among these pirates, the pirates of the Ming Dynasty occupied a dominant position. After all, the great pirate leaders who roamed the sea during this period were all from the Ming Dynasty. The status of pirates from the island countries was quite different. Those pirates from the island countries wore samurai uniforms and had swords on their waists.
They have a higher status, similar to the pirates of the Ming Dynasty. They are the backbone of the force. Some of them have a higher status than many pirates of the Ming Dynasty. Most of these ronin who wear loincloths and do not have samurai swords are farmers who cannot survive in the island country.
The value is relatively low. In this industry where strength is all important, there is no doubt that their status is at the bottom.
The higher-status pirates of the island country take it for granted that their own people are being bullied. They are strength-minded. Whoever has a strong fist will do what he says and does.
Many of the higher-status pirates among these pirates were wandering samurai from the island country, which can be seen from their "tsukiyo" hairstyles, clothing and waist swords.
Tsukiyo hair, this is the exclusive hairstyle of island warriors. The so-called Tsukiyo hair means that the scalp in front of the forehead is shaved, and a high bun is tied on the back of the head.
The hairstyle of the island warriors is very ugly and awkward in the eyes of the pirates. They are even more contemptuous of the islanders. Barbarians are barbarians!
It is said that the reason why the samurai of the island country shaved such ugly hairstyles is related to their status as warriors. The samurai had to fight for their governors on the battlefield, so they often put on the black hat directly on their heads and then put on their helmets, that is, pockets.
However, when they were fighting desperately on the battlefield, the hair on their heads would often fall down due to sweat, blocking their vision. As a result, they were stabbed or cut in the neck. Moreover, wearing hats and helmets on their heads made them feel hot and itchy.
Some clever samurai began to shave off the hair in front of their foreheads to solve some problems. Then it became popular all of a sudden and eventually became a unique hairstyle for samurai.
As pirates, the clothes of these samurai ronin are dirty. However, the long swords on their waists are often wiped with cloth and maintained until they are shiny.
Among these pirate ships, one is larger than the others, and the pirates on it are more aggressive than those on other ships. There are more pirates in the Ming Dynasty, and fewer pirates in the island countries. This ship is the leader of this group of pirates.
The ship is a pirate flagship.
At this moment, a wave of "miserable" cries of a Japanese girl came from the pirate flagship:
"One bank and one bank is worth nothing"
"Ah, Suo Kuo, Delta, Delta destroys the butterfly"
In addition to the screams of the Japanese women, there were also several curses from the Ming Dynasty, mixed with heavy breathing.
The other pirates on the flagship laughed and looked at the cabin where the sound came from. They looked like gangsters, and they laughed and said obscene words in groups of twos and threes.
"Haha, why do you think this devil girl screams so miserably?"
"You know what the heck, these devils are so hot. The more miserable they scream, the braver our family will be. Then we will give them more steamed buns, wine and meat."
"Give it back. This devil girl is so fat now. If I give it back, she will look like a pig, hahaha."
"You are so satisfied, right? With that bastard Wang Zhi, the King of Hui, annexing our leader Chen, our family is so angry that we have to go it alone. It's not like you don't know how difficult our life is. How can we have such a person?"
It would be good if the Japanese girl expelled the fire. Putting a cloth over her head would still be different."
While these Ming pirates were talking nonsense together, a wanderer from an island country who was guarding the cabin came over with a smile.
"Liu Sang, Zhao Sang, we are all brothers on the same ship. If you also want to spend the night with me kanayi (home), I will give you a discount, ten coppers. How about it?"
"Maybe this time you snatched the fat sheep, you can let me pick the things first." This island nation's wanderer promoted his kanayi as soon as he opened his mouth, that is, his wife was not ashamed, but proud of it, with a smug look on his face.
Seeing the shameless face of the island nation's prodigal, several Ming pirates despised the prodigal. These barbarians were so shameless!
Then, with contempt, many pirates agreed that it was a long journey and it would be nice to listen to the screams of the Japs.
The pirates hanging far behind the fleet looked happy. (To be continued.)
