The ships of the Yiren Sho went to sea as scheduled, the small merchants with their goods, the crew with the specified number of private goods, they all carried their dreams of making a fortune, and disappeared into the vast sea with the ups and downs of the waves.

You can only choose one of the two between wages and private goods, and if you want to be paid, you can't bring private goods, and if you bring private goods, you won't be paid, and it's all up to you to choose.

Those who had some money in hand bought private goods to take with them, and when they came back all the way, the private goods in their hands could be turned into several times more money. If you don't have any money in hand, you can only choose to ask for wages, and when you get paid, you will have money to buy private goods when you go to sea next time.

The shipwrights were very excited—no maritime merchant had ever allowed them to go to sea with smuggled goods, and if they were found to be carrying smuggled goods, they would be thrown off the ship. If you are thrown off the ship far overseas, there is no way to live.

So this time, the boatmen are working hard, because this time they are not only working hard for others, but also doing business for themselves, so they are serious and hardworking.

The Xianghe firm was sealed, and everyone was arrested. The Quanzhou Assassin received a large amount of money from maritime merchants, was demoted and exiled, and was temporarily sentenced to handle daily affairs.

These two things came suddenly, and there was no movement before, but it caused panic among people from all walks of life in Quanzhou for a while.

The two firms, Tongshun and Shuntai, were temporarily closed down because of the bribery to Quanzhou, and they will open again after investigation and rectification.

Under the frequent actions of the Yiren Firm, Zhao Yutian actually exposed himself, which greatly reduced the time Xia Hongsheng spent looking for the pirates' power on the shore. But another ghost came out halfway, and it was still an unknown variable.

As Xia Hongsheng thought, if what this person said was true, then Xia Hongsheng would have discovered a hidden family and would have a colonial advance team of the Tang Dynasty in the future. And if what this person said is false, just to weave a trap, then under the attack of the Tang Water Division, all his pirate forces are scum.

Datang now has two docks in Quanzhou and Ryukyu, and the two docks are working together and are capable of building six ironclad ships at the same time. The ironclad ship uses the latest technology, and after it is built, it is already a complete warship and can be put into use directly.

None of the ironclad ships were equipped with petrol and catapults, as well as long-range weapons such as bed crossbows and firearms, which were mainly gasoline and bombs, and the stone throwers and bed crossbows were used in conjunction with both.

These weapons are also equipped on ordinary old-style warships, so the combat effectiveness of the Datang Navy Division is not the same as before. As long as the accuracy can be ensured, then it is completely possible to pull the ships of those pirates to "fly kites", so that when the local ships are unable to get close to the warships of the Tang Naval Division, they have already been burned or blown up, and become a piece of broken wood.

Not to mention the new ironclad ship uses updated mast sail technology and hull structure, the wind power is out of the front, and the other seven wind directions can be used, plus there is manpower transmission in the bottom cabin, and the use of wind and manpower at the same time ensures the sprint speed and maneuverability of the ship, and can also provide power when there is no wind on the sea surface. The hull is also more robust.

Together with the application of the compass and so on, all kinds of advanced places came together, so that the advanced sea ships of the Ming Dynasty appeared in the form of ironclad ships in the Tang Dynasty in advance.

It can be said that the Datang ironclad ship represents the most advanced ship technology before the emergence of steam-powered steel warships.

It is precisely because of these that Xia Hongsheng is full of confidence in the Datang Water Division.

The Datang ironclad ship is simply a bug-like existence for other sea ships in this era. Hit and can't move, run and can't run, flexible and maneuverable, super attack power.

Therefore, after the Datang Navy Division was equipped with ironclad ships, Xia Hongsheng strengthened the training of accuracy to ensure that the soldiers could ensure a high level of precision strikes on the ships - no matter how advanced and powerful the weapons were, if they could not hit the opponent, they could only be blind.

So Xia Hongsheng can now be said to have no fear.

I'm not afraid of any intrigues and tricks of that ghost Qianqiu.

"Old ghost, where are your wives and children in the Wa Kingdom?" Because he had no fear, Xia Hongsheng decided to follow Ghost Qianqiu first to see what he was going to do, and to see if his words were true or false.

"Kagoshima." Oni Chiaki said.

Xia Hongsheng's heart was sour, alas, good friends in the future are looking forward to traveling to Kagoshima, and every time the topic comes out, it changes from the second dimension to Kagoshima. Later, I finally got my wish and went to Kagoshima, but I read the news that there was a volcanic eruption in Kagoshima, but fortunately, my friend returned safely.

Good friend, I'm afraid I'll never see you again!

"What's wrong?" Seeing Xia Hongsheng's sudden paleness, Ghost Qianqiu was stunned for a moment and asked.

"Sympathize with you." Xia Hongsheng sighed: "I know something about Kagoshima. If your wife and children were still alive, I would do my best to help you get them out, if so...... Don't blame me. ”

Ghost Qianqiu was expressionless and nodded: "You just do your best." ”

"In that case, then you can take me and hand it over to the widows!" Xia Hongsheng nodded and said.

"What?" Ghost Qianqiu showed a look of surprise and asked, "What method are you going to use?" ”

This son plans to take the opportunity to kill the Wa Kingdom, what?!

"Calling the Tang Dynasty sailors to save a few people is too aggressive, and it is not easy to explain to the imperial court. I'm a businessman who likes to maximize profits. Xia Hongsheng waved his hand and said, "Take advantage of such an opportunity, if you want to do it, you will make it big!" I'm going to use a little trick to let the Tang Dynasty sailors destroy the Wa Kingdom, even if they can't be destroyed, at least they will take a piece of enclave in the Wa Kingdom! ”

"Take an enclave?" Ghost Qianqiu directly ignored Xia Hongsheng's idea of wanting to destroy the Wa Kingdom, and directly asked the latter one.

Xia Hongsheng also understood that it was impossible to destroy the Japanese State this time, and his purpose was to still obtain an enclave and keep it for monitoring the movements of the Japanese State, and in case there was a military conflict with the Japanese State in the future, it would be used as a forward camp.

Kagoshima is a great place to be.

It is located at the southernmost tip of the island of Kyushu and is at the same time a natural bay. If Kagoshima can be made an enclave of the Tang Dynasty, then the Tang Dynasty will be able to occupy a natural harbor on the mainland of the Japanese Kingdom. In addition, Kagoshima is made up of many isolated islands, each of which is not very small, and can be stationed to build an overseas military base in the Tang Dynasty.

In the future, the troop carriers of the Tang Navy Division could directly enter this bay and land on Kagoshima, bringing the mighty Tang army to this land. And once there was a military confrontation between the Tang Dynasty and the Japanese Kingdom, the army of tigers and wolves of the Tang Dynasty could set off from Kagoshima and rush to the north like a tsunami.
