Chapter 176: Spider
Use a telescope.
Zhang Luo stood at the bow of the boat.
Looking at the Japanese pirate ships on the island.
The Japanese pirate fleet has all types of ships.
There are ordinary flat-bottomed boats.
There are also sand boats.
and slightly larger merchant ships.
In the middle is a huge warship.
This warship looks...
It is much larger than Zhenhaiwei's warship.
After Zhang Liansheng saw this warship.
A reminder on the side:
"This is the warship of the Four Kings of the Sea, the Spider."
What Zhang Luo didn't expect was...
The warship of the Four Kings of the Sea turned out to be an overturned boat.
In addition to being moved by the wind, a flipping boat needs to be driven by the wind.
There are extremely long paddles all around.
It can be done by people.
One time to speed things up.
Because there are flip paddles on both sides.
The hull is too large.
So it looks like a spider.
At first glance, this ship does not look like it was built in the Ming Dynasty.
Zhang Liansheng said:
"I heard that the Spider was built by Westerners."
"There are twenty flipping oars on each side."
"The man rowing the sail on the boat."
"They are all slaves snatched away by the Four Kings of the Sea."
"The four kings of the sea plundered a place."
"Women spoil their men."
"Dispose of all the old people and children."
"And young and strong men."
"They are all used as coolies."
"He rowed boats and carried supplies for them."
"The Four Kings of the Sea also have a hobby."
"As long as the slave in his hands can survive twenty days."
"He set them free."
"But he who falls into his hand."
"It's rare to survive more than twenty days."
"You can still have it, but it's basically half-dead."
"Why?"
"The oarsmen were tied together with ropes and oars."
"Every day I eat and drink in the cabin."
"When the weather gets hot, it's no different from being tortured."
"It takes a lot of physical effort to draw like this."
"There are also Japanese pirate supervisors nearby."
"If you don't have the strength to row."
"He will be killed on the spot."
"Get a new slave."
The more Zhang Luo listened, the angrier he became.
I couldn't help but blush.
"It's really worse than a pig or a dog!"
Close to Zhongwan Island.
Exploration fleet.
Slowly move towards the shore.
Search for Japanese pirate boats.
Send a message to the fleet.
We are already very close to Zhongwan Island.
Zhang Luo picked up the telescope again.
Looking towards the island pier.
Sure enough I saw it.
A magazine full of explosives.
Just as Zhang Luo thought.
The gunpowder magazine will definitely be built next to the horse's head.
The Four Kings of the Sea obviously wouldn't have thought of it.
At this time someone will want to blow up his powder magazine.
Zhang Luo quickly deployed his troops at the dock.
Record it in a notebook.
Although Zhongwan Island is easy to defend, it is difficult to attack.
But it's also suitable for surprise attacks.
Because of the one-way export.
The fleet of the Four Kings of the Sea.
All crowded in one direction.
Just like a dumpling.
As long as it can detonate a search.
All boats want to run away.
When the time comes, the boats will be crowded.
All crowded together.
The plan in Zhang Luo's mind has been formed.
The problem now is.
How to burn the boat.
Enter the pier of Zhongwan Island.
On Zhongwan Island.
This is the first outer island in Fujian,
It has become a crazy paradise for Japanese pirates.
The four kings of the sea make patients slaves at will,
A small palace was built on the island.
To fulfill his inner dream of becoming a king.
This palace is built on a steep mountain.
No one will be taken prisoner just by building a palace and falling to death.
There were no less than a hundred people.
The Four Kings of the Sea are wearing a pair of heavy armor.
Wearing a white fur mask.
It looks very scary.
And the Four Kings of the Sea are also very...
Keen on others seeing him scared.
The decay and weakness of the Ming Empire.
Let your confidence surge.
This time they attacked Fujian.
He just came to rob.
He has even greater ambitions.
What he wants is the entire outer islands of Fujian.
Including Penghu Island.
How big is Zhongwan Island?
How many are there in the entire outer islands of Fujian?
If it were all the outer islands in Fujian.
It's all his.
That's among the Japanese pirate groups.
They are no ordinary Japanese pirates.
At least it is comparable to a shogun of Japan.
However, the outer islands of Fujian are still in a natural state.
He needs more Ming slaves.
Come and help him develop various islands.
The four sea kings attacked Fujian this time.
He is fully prepared.
The entire dock is almost filled with gunpowder alone.
And from the hands of Westerners.
Thirty artillery pieces were purchased.
Now on the Spider.
There were six Western artillery pieces installed.
Defeated the Ming Dynasty Guards last time.
It's all about these Western artillery pieces.
Speaking of this spider battleship.
He spent countless gold.
Let the Western shipbuilding master.
Made with all your heart.
while sailing at sea.
It can be propelled steadily by the wind.
When you need to speed up.
Can paddle east and west.
Double the speed of sailing.
The most arrogant thing among the Four Kings of the Sea is...
As long as an enemy ship is discovered.
No one can escape the Spider.
The sea detective gave the food to the Japanese pirates.
The entire fleet returned.
Zhang Luo and Zhang Liansheng.
None of the Japanese pirates had any clues.
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Mr. Ba is very concerned about this transaction.
He looked very happy.
What he and his men said.
Zhang Luo all heard it.
Zhang Luo also knew.
In addition to trading grain with Japanese pirates, Haitan.
I also sold them maps.
Map of prefectures and counties in the Ming Dynasty!
But this is also normal.
These people already think of themselves.
It has nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty.
Which side gives more money?
Just send supplies there.
Zhang Luo thought for a moment.
I heard it just now.
The Eighth Master said there was not enough food on the ship.
So I came to the cabin.
Use this in Cantonese.
Said to the eighth master:
"You need food."
"We Zhenhaiwei can sell it to you."
The people around Master Eight were shocked.
They all took out the sabers at their waists.
The eighth master was surprised at first.
Then with a confused look in his eyes.
Look at Zhang Luo.
He didn't expect it.
Why is this Ming Dynasty officer?
Can speak a different kind of Cantonese.
He's never seen any.
A Ming Dynasty officer.
Can speak this language.
And Zhang Luo's appearance.
He doesn't look like a Cantonese.
Zhang Luo continued:
"I don't have any bad intentions, I'm here to make a deal."
"I can sell you food."
The eighth master hesitated.
Asked the subordinates next to him to put down their weapons.
From Zhang Luo's unskilled words.
The eighth master can see it.
Zhang Luogang learned Cantonese not long ago.
Strange.
Could it be him these days?
I learned it from the people in the boat.
Isn't this too fast?
Master Ba no longer thinks about this problem.
Regarding the transaction proposed by Zhang Luo.
He became interested.
They sell food because they have no money.
It's not because they have enough food.
There are not many places that are willing to do business with them.
There is one Japanese pirate here.
People in Ming Dynasty regarded them as aliens.
Born from a bunch of wild species.
Food is this thing.
Ming Dynasty is also in short supply now.
General health center.
Even if you want to sell yourself, it’s not enough.
The eighth master looked at Zhang Luo and said:
"Okay, do you have any medicinal materials over there?"
"Medicine?"
Zhang Luo was thinking in his mind.
It was Hai Tan who saw that Zhang Luo was easy to talk to.
Do you want long-term development?
But yes.
Medicinal materials.
It is rarer than food.
Sea exploration is always at sea.
There must be a great shortage of medicinal materials.
"There is enough food and medicinal materials."
