Chapter 172: Prisoner

"Haha...... I won! ”

"What the hell, how can there be people on this island!"

"I don't care, anyway, I won this time, and your jar of wine belongs to me, haha!"

……

The two pirates sat in the boat, and one of the stout men looked very happy, laughing wildly, and glancing triumphantly at the thin scholar on the ground.

This scholar is naturally Lin Haoran, his hands have been tied firmly, and his face looks very depressed. In this kind of extralegal place, it is really the law of the jungle, he was caught like a prey, and life and death were pinched by these two pirates.

As soon as the boat sailed out of the bay, his eyes were blindfolded with a black cloth, and not only was it dark before him, but he also felt a darkness and sorrow for the future.

This finally opened up the situation on the island, and there were some basic guarantees for survival, and only the Daming Sailor needed to pass by to be rescued. But he didn't expect that the Daming Sailor didn't wait, but the pirates took the initiative to find him.

Listening to the meaning of the words of the two pirates, he felt even more helpless, daring to love that he was actually an entertainment for the two of them about betting, and the cause was just a jar of wine.

Lying on the boat, your body undulating with the waves, you know that you have reached the center of the sea.

"Hey, how did you get to this island?" Suddenly kicked lightly, the man who had won the bet asked curiously.

"How you come, how I come!" Lin Haoran didn't want to pay attention to it, but suddenly he replied angrily.

"You're rowing here? No way, the boat will definitely not row here! The man muttered to himself, but immediately denied his words.

"Naturally, I came here on a big ship, and I tell you, I have a number!" Lin Haoran pretended to be arrogant.

"Huh? Do you even know the number? Tell me, who are you following? Maybe I know you too! The man was a little interested, and asked curiously.

"Under the banner of the Five Peaks Shipowner!" Lin Haoran hesitated for a moment, and then reported the name of the biggest pirate.

"Huh? You're an old ship...... Woo! The one was stunned for a moment, as if he wanted to say something, but his mouth was suddenly covered, and another shrewd man asked: "Since you are the number of the Wufeng Shipowner, which Shipowner are you following?" ”

"There's a scar on my face!" Lin Haoran decided to keep and on, and pretended to be strong.

"What we do, we have a lot of scars on our faces!" The big man deliberately squeezed.

"Keep the moon head!" Lin Haoran decided to gamble again, so he said again.

"Xu Liang?" The previous big man exclaimed.

Ah!

As soon as Lin Haoran heard the name, he was kicked heavily, and the person scolded "traitor" or something like that, and it seemed that he had a deep relationship with that "Xu Liang".

It's just that in the face of this result, Lin Haoran secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this group of pirates was not the same as the pirates who attacked the Daming Naval Division, and these two pirates were most likely the subordinates of the Wufeng ship owner.

Today's most powerful pirates in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are undoubtedly Wang Zhi, the owner of Wufeng.

Speaking of which, this Wang Zhi is a very powerful character, and he can't simply be classified as a villain, his life is quite legendary.

In the nineteenth year of Jiajing, after Wang Zhi failed in business, he went to Guangdong to conduct overseas trade, and put prohibited goods such as nitrate yellow and silk cotton, and arrived in Japan, Siam, and Western countries for trade.

After that, it was based in Matsuuratsu, Japan, engaged in maritime trade, and slowly developed and expanded. It not only opened up the channel of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but also had business contacts with the Francophone and became a well-known maritime businessman.

In the twenty-sixth year of Jiajing, Xia Yan elected Zhu Kun as the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, responsible for the suppression of Japanese affairs. As a result, after Zhu Kun arrived in Fujian and Zhejiang, he held high the banner of the sea ban, raised the butcher's knife and opened a killing ring, and Wang Zhi and other maritime merchants were hit hard.

In the twenty-seventh year of Jiajing, Wang Zhi started a new business and established himself as the owner of the ship. With Maji Mountain on Jintang Island as a stronghold, the remnants of maritime merchants and pirates were collected and a huge ship was built, which could accommodate 2,000 people.

In the 31st year of Jiajing, Wang Zhi pacified Chen Sipan and other pirates who burned and plundered, maintained coastal order, gradually established the status of "maritime hegemon", and rebuilt Shuangyu Port in Zhoushan Ligang in an attempt to restore its former prosperity.

In the 32nd year of Jiajing, the governor Wang Chen sent the general soldier Yu Dayou to lead the officers and troops to attack Ligang to encircle and annihilate Wang Zhi, Wang Zhi was defeated and fled to Japan, and Shuangyu Port and Ligang were destroyed one after another.

After Wang Zhi returned to Urajin, Japan, he proclaimed himself King Hui, but he did not give up the big cake of maritime trade and carried out some piracy activities along the coast, with the purpose of "blackmailing the government and opening the port and opening the city".

Compared with those pirates who "burned, killed and plundered", Wang Zhi's behavior was relatively decent. What he wanted was to become a merchant on the sea, engage in international trade, and obtain hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

It's a pity that his appeal is destined to be difficult to be satisfied, and now the Ming Dynasty adheres to the policy of sea ban, and even uses the power of the whole country to exterminate their group of pirates.

In recent years, Wang Zhi's strength has also shown a downward trend. With the destruction of the trade network, a huge source of profit was lost, so the constraints on the opponent were greatly weakened.

Many of the people who made a living from him saw it unprofitable, and eventually chose to set up their own doors and become real pirates. Therefore, in Wang Zhi's fleet, many "traitors" have appeared one after another.

Obviously, the man named Xu Liang was one of the traitors.

Lin Haoran is undoubtedly "Li Kui met Li Ghost". He, the subordinate of the fake Wufeng ship owner, met the real Wufeng ship owner's subordinates, and accidentally pretended to be a traitor's subordinate.

Fortunately, these two people were not vicious pirates, but after kicking them twice, they did not continue to commit violence.

It was about half an hour before the boat docked, presumably the island where he had been was very close to the pirate den.

Soon his feet were on the soft sand, and the sound of waves crashing on the shore could be heard in his ears. Before he could think about it, one of the men pushed him away and accidentally fell.

His hands were tied, his eyes were covered with cloth, and he was pushed forward. Fortunately, the road was relatively smooth, and someone walked in front, otherwise he would have really fallen and his nose and face were swollen.

After about a cup of tea, his belongings were stolen, and the black cloth covering his eyes was undone. But standing in front of a cell, a man pushed him in, then locked the door and left.

It was a low house of twenty or thirty square meters, with four cells carved out, but there was no one inside. His cell was only a few square meters in size, with earthen walls on two sides and log fences on two sides, and the air smelled strange.

From the respected Xie Yuanlang, he suddenly became a survivor on a desert island, and now he has become a prisoner, and this kind of declining life makes him feel heartbroken.
