Robbing a ship is worthy of being a pirate!

Chen Qianhu also thought so, with only one purpose, to grab these two big ships!

He wanted these two ships so much, not only the ships, but also the guns on the ships, two centipede ships, sixty-eight Furlong cannons, no matter what the method, he had to get it!

"Are you related to the thieves of Huangliangdu?"

In the dead of night, in the backyard of thousands of households, Chen Mu and Li Dan were drinking.

Li Dan said: "It's not related, but I've heard about their attack on Xinhui with the Haikou Alliance." ”

"What do you know about them, let's hear about them."

"Actually, it's nothing, and there aren't many people in Haojing who are willing to deal with them, and there are many villains on the boat, and it's not good to do things." Li Dan shook his head, there was a lot of contempt in his words, and said with a smile: "They also have dozens of boats, small fishing boats like the new flag army, and the real good ones are the thirty or fifty who follow Xu Laoqi to hide in Lao'an Mountain, and the others are all close to the people." ”

"When something happens, I shout out, go back and catch mussels and fish, I don't have any ambition." Li Dan put down the wine bottle and put up two fingers on the stone table, and said: "If the righteous father wants to take them, just a little, don't fight at sea, two hundred households on land can take down all their good hands." ”

"It's not easy if it's at sea, there are many of them and they are all sea people, and they have some skills to operate boats and swim in the water." Li Dan thought for a while, bowed down on the stone table and said: "As long as you kill the thief leader and capture those who hide in the mountains, it will be difficult for the local people of Huangliangdu to get together again, and leave a few live mouths to ask the name. ”

Chen Mu nodded, Li Dan's brain turned very fast, and he was also sensible, so he valued him very much, and after drinking a glass of wine, he asked, "What about you?" ”

"Huh?"

Chen Mu asked: "You said that the people of Huangliangdu have no ambition, what about you, what ambitions do you have?" ”

"Me?"

Li Dan was stunned for a moment, but glanced at Chen Mu very carefully without a trace, and saw that Chen Mu was interested and encouraged, so he said thoughtfully: "The child grew up in Haojing, he doesn't know etiquette or education, and he asks his father-in-law not to blame him for his inappropriate speech." ”

Chen Mu smiled and said, "You say." ”

"Since I was a child, my mother took me to worship Mazu, and Fanyi on the island said that it was my father's old friend, and the elders around him said that he collected taxes from Fanyi in Shuangyu, saying that he had a robbed three-masted ship, and the flagship had dozens of cannons, saying that no one at sea was his opponent."

"Talking about Wu Ping, talking about Xu Hai, and talking about Wang Zhi, talking about those heroes and heroes who are much more powerful than him, who are hundreds of miles away from the east and the west, who have brave men, guns, and ships, and have established their own order in places outside the law, and those who do not abide by it will not be able to live."

"None of them died at sea, Wu Ping was killed by General Qi, Xu Hai was executed by Zhao'an, Wang Zhi died in prison, and my father, heh, is gone with his Shuangyu."

"Father-in-law, what do you think the future holds for the sea?"

As a person of this era, he could see the impact of piracy on the coast and even the deeper harm to the Ming Dynasty.

There is no wasteland in Qingyuan, but in Xiangshan, 8,000 acres of wasteland has not been cultivated, and people are keen to go to the sea to plunder or smuggle and traffic.

It's an internal strife.

The South, the East, and the West were given to the barbarians from the West, and finally even the North was given to the barbarians.

"Everyone else is plundering the world, and we are complacent."

Chen Mu shook his head and did not continue to talk about this topic, in fact, he, like Li Dan, did not understand what he could and could not say to the imperial court.

"Plundering the world, what my father-in-law said is that when I was a child, there were not many Fanyi on Haojing Ao, hundreds of Francos built a few forts and set up a few arrow towers, and more of them were us. At that time, they said that they came from the distant Western Ocean, and later they heard that they occupied a large area of land west of the Ming Dynasty, bordering the country of the Mongols, and said that the sea was called the Indian Ocean. ”

"Now there are thousands of Francophone people settled in Haojing, and then there are Japanese people and other Fanyi, with nearly 10,000 people. There are fewer and fewer of our ships, and if we want to survive at sea, we must have big ships and big guns, and the Francophiles set up a cannon foundry in Haojing and sold them to us at a very high price. ”

"Father-in-law, why can't Da Ming make his own cannon factory and sell us guns and ships?"

Chen Mu didn't hear it until this time that the 'we' in Li Dan's mouth was not the two of them, but the Japanese in a broad sense, the son of the sea who was exiled outside the Ming Dynasty.

Facing the imperial court, both of them are outsiders, and the difference is nothing more than the depth of Chen Mu's integration and Li Dan's shallowness.

In this era, maybe everyone's thoughts are different, a second-generation pirate like Li Dan, his thinking will be fundamentally different from that of a generation of pirates, and the Ming Dynasty is already a root rather than a home for him.

He said a lot and didn't mention ambition, but there was only one ambition in Chen Mu's ears - he didn't want to die in the land of the Ming Dynasty.

"Father-in-law, the child has no other ambitions, and he doesn't want to die on land."

Chen Mu didn't directly respond to Li Dan's words, drank all the wine in the cup, changed to a more comfortable sitting position, and asked with interest: "Do you know how big the country of the Francois is?" ”

"Half of Guangdong, it's so big." Li Dan was suspicious in his eyes, Chen Mu didn't explain, but then smiled: "They are far away from Daming, surrounded by another country, the Francois should be called Portugal, and the country that surrounds them is called Spain, these two countries have strong maritime power, Catholicism is their common faith, the Pope draws a line on the world map, the left to Spain, the right to Portugal, let the Francos plunder the whole world." ”

"And the Netherlands, which we often call the red-haired fan; British, Western; They are very strong at sea, call their pirates explorers, funded by their royal family, and form fleets to conquer the world, and they all have the same means, colonization. ”

"The so-called colonization is to use their ships and cannons to go to a backward country, defeat the army, enslave the people, transport away what can be used, and exploit it year after year. In the long run, these small countries have become powerful by sucking blood in other countries to gain wealth. ”

"The Ming Dynasty is a big country, but it is no longer the heavenly kingdom of the past, and one day it will lose its sea power, and the cannon ships of the Westerners will bombard our city walls, and they will also be defeated and enslaved."

"The world has changed!"

"I have no other ambitions."

Chen Mu picked up the wine jug and poured it clean, his chest ignited a raging fire, and he waved his hand and threw the wine jug and smashed it to the ground.

"Slaughter them and snatch the national fortune back!"
