Datang Nongwang

Chapter 649

Chen Huan's words made Li Chongyuan feel uncertain again.

The three captains are credible, but whether this news is reliable or not cannot be confirmed.

Only when you go can you know whether this matter is worth convincing.

but.

Even if Li Chongyuan wanted to rob a pirate gang of more than 1000 people, he had to prepare well. Otherwise, if something happened, Li Chongyuan would probably be buried at the bottom of the sea.

Chen Huan said to go, Chen Juan also wanted to go, and Li Chongyuan's heart was also moved.

Naturally, after the three discussed it, they began to prepare.

ready.

Prepare various supplies.

And these materials are all used to deal with pirates.

Among them, gunpowder materials are the main ones.

Only with gunpowder can Li Chongyuan feel that his safety is guaranteed.

Even with Tang Li and Liu Xiang around, Li Chongyuan still believed in gunpowder.

Of course, Li Chongyuan would be safe with Tang Li and Liu Xiang around, but if there were too many people and Tang Li and Liu Xiang couldn't deal with all the enemies, then Li Chongyuan could at least protect himself.

With a big killer like gunpowder, it doesn't matter if there are a lot of people.

Unless those people are not afraid of death.

But as a human being, as long as he has flesh and blood, he will be afraid of death.
What's more, they are still pirates who have been wandering the sea for a long time. They don't have any sense of family and country, and they don't even have any team glory. As long as they have money, they will never refuse to do whatever you ask them to do.

Li Chongyuan's preparation was delayed for another three days.

Gunpowder materials are not easy to collect.

So it took three days to complete the collection.

"Yuan Er, why did you buy these saltpeters? I can understand that you bought sulfur, but what can this saltpeter do? It also took up a lot of land on the ship." After the gunpowder materials were collected, Chen Juan was really puzzled by Li Chongyuan's behavior.

Chen Huan on the side was also very curious, "Chongyuan, you bought so much sulfur, you don't mean to poison the fish, do you? But the sulfur poisoned fish can't be eaten, otherwise it will be poisoned. Don't worry, if you want to eat Fish, I will get it for you when the time comes. There is nothing on the sea, but there is no shortage of fish to eat. No, no, Chong Yuan, we are going to snatch pirates, don’t you want to use sulfur to poison pirates? The smell is too strong, and those pirates are not stupid."

After Li Chongyuan listened to what the two said, he didn't explain much.

"Aunt Juan, Aunt Huan, it's useful for me to buy these things when I come back, so don't ask any more questions. Everyone has been waiting for too long. Let's go back to our ships and get ready to go." Li Chongyuan said with a smile.

It took another three days to delay. According to the itinerary, in three days, it is estimated that he had already arrived at the big island, which is Liuqiu Island.

Chen Juan looked at Li Chongyuan, then at Chen Huan.

Then they each boarded a paddle steamer.

After getting on the boat, it didn't take long before the boat started.

on board.

Chen Juan kept hiding in her heart what she asked about Li Chongyuan just now, but she couldn't figure out what Li Chongyuan could do after buying these things.

but.

When Chen Juan thought of what her master had said, she suddenly opened her almond-shaped eyes and exclaimed: "Yuan'er, he can make gunpowder, right? Judging from the things he bought, this is completely the material of gunpowder, but It seems like something is missing."

Chen Juan was suspicious.

On the other paddle steamer, Chen Huan had already forgotten what happened just now, and only the pirates on the big island were in her mind.

On the other hand, Li Chongyuan at this time.

As soon as the boat sailed, Li Chongyuan called Lai Xingba and the others to explain the production of gunpowder.

Xingba They have long known the production method of gunpowder, and they have done a lot.

now.

Above the sea, they had to start producing gunpowder again.

even.

Because there were too few people on Li Chongyuan's ship, Li Chongyuan himself even called Tang Li and the two over to grind the three materials.

As for the ratio, Li Chongyuan still did it himself.

Although the ratio is not that important, after all, as long as you know these three materials, as long as you are willing to try, you can definitely try out the ratio.

Moreover, most of the ratios can have an explosive effect.

Therefore, if you are willing to try, after a certain period of time, you will be able to try out the best ratio of those decimal parts.

Even so, Li Chongyuan did not hand over the matching to others, and he still managed it himself.

It wasn't that Li Chongyuan didn't believe them, but Li Chongyuan didn't want to reveal the matter about gunpowder prematurely. After all, this thing is a big killer, and it's a Pandora's Box.

Once Pandora's box is opened, the consequences are really not something anyone can bear.

and.

If this Pandora's box is opened, the development of thermal weapons will be advanced by hundreds of years.

In the whole of China, maybe more people will die in the hands of the war.

Step up and make gunpowder.

Without Tie Leizi, Li Chongyuan finally bought a lot of clay pots.

Moreover, there are different sizes of clay pots, the big ones are as big as spirit basketballs, and the small ones are the size of small fists, and there are quite a few of them, no less than [-] in total.

Three thousand pots.

This has to be busy.

Even Li Chongyuan joined in, so the rest of the crew naturally couldn't be idle.

Except for those who operate the boat, all people who have nothing to do with the boat have to join in, whether it is grinding charcoal, sulfur, or saltpeter.

In short, no one is idle.

Fortunately, the weather was good, the sun was big enough, and the sea was calm.

This also allowed Li Chongyuan and the others to grind various materials into small pellets and put them directly on the deck to dry.

As long as the gunpowder kneaded into small pellets is dried, they can be directly put into clay pots, and then plugged with lead wires. This clay pot-shaped iron thunder can be regarded as finished.

three days in a row.

Li Chongyuan and the others are busy making clay pot-shaped Tie Leizi.

When the flag bearer came to tell Li Chongyuan that a large island was found in the distance, Li Chongyuan immediately stopped all work, packed up their things, and everyone returned to their places.

The paddle steamer not far away has been flagging this way.

According to the flag bearer, Li Chongyuan became excited immediately after the big island in the distance was Liuqiu Island.

past life.

Li Chongyuan didn't have the chance to go, but now, he finally has the chance.

but.

What Li Chongyuan brought this time was ferocious.

As for whether those pirates would cooperate with Li Chongyuan to grab them, it depends on whether they understand or not.

If you are ignorant and want to resist, the end will definitely not be easy.

The brothers of Qingfengzhai, they are the ones who did this, and they would never allow those pirates to resist.

"Xiao Langjun, is that big island the Liuqiu Island you mentioned? I don't think it's too small." Xingba asked while looking at Liuqiu Island in the distance.

Li Chongyuan nodded, "Yes, that's Da Liuqiu Island, and further northeast, there are Liuqiu Islands, and the Liuqiu Kingdom was built on those islands."

"Xiao Langjun, look, they are coming in front of us, is there something wrong?" When Li Chongyuan was looking at Daliu Qiudao, Xing Ba pointed to another bright ship in front of his ship. cried the steamer.

Li Chongyuan looked over.

It was discovered that Chen Juan and the others' boats began to join together, sailing in front of Li Chongyuan's paddle steamer.

Li Chongyuan smiled softly, "They were afraid that I would be in danger, so they put us at the rear to protect us. However, if pirates really appear in such a formation, they will definitely surround us Yes. Fortunately, our paddle steamer is fast enough, so there is no need to worry about this. You see, the two small ones are starting to come together now, and I guess they will be on both sides of the front of our ship."

Everyone followed Li Chongyuan's instructions and looked over.

The two little paddle boats were fast, but they were too small to be used as flank boats.

In this way, the ship that Li Chongyuan was on could only be used as the last ship, and there was no possibility of even participating in the conquest of pirates.

This also warmed Li Chongyuan's heart.

After half an hour.

Daliuqiu Island is approaching.

Li Chongyuan on the boat looked at Da Liuqiu Island in front of him, both excited and curious.

As for Xingba and the others, they were much more excited than Li Chongyuan, and they were even more curious. They poked their heads and looked at the big island in front of them.

perhaps.

In their hearts, they will think about what is on the island.

The boat began to approach the island.

After finding a place with a little depth of water, enough for the boat to dock, the boat docked.

Shortly after.

Chen Juan and the others disembarked, and Li Chongyuan followed suit.

"Aunt Juan, Aunt Huan, where do the pirates mentioned by the three captains live? Why did they stop here?" Li Chongyuan asked after getting off the boat and walking over.

Chen Huan pointed to the side of the guide, "The third captain said, it's over there, a hundred miles away from us. Besides, it's still too early today, so we have to go there by night. However, the third captain will drive the boat to Check to see if the pirates are there."

After hearing this, Li Chongyuan knew what Chen Juan and the others were planning.

It is really a good way to attack and kill at night.

It was afternoon at this time, and there were still about two hours before dark.

If they fight in such a bright light, those pirates will gather quickly, and they will definitely resist at that time.

Li Chongyuan has never fought a war, and although he doesn't understand it, whether it's TV dramas or movies he watched in his previous life, as Chen Huan said, raiding and killing at night is the most suitable way.

It's still early at this time.

Li Chongyuan also started to make arrangements.

Li Chongyuan, who returned to the boat, summoned the dozens of people he had brought this time, and began to order them one by one, explaining their respective tasks.

There are those who steer the boat, those who steer the boat, those who watch the wind, and those who watch the flag.

There are also throwers, and more melee personnel.

Of course, the defensive personnel, Li Chongyuan naturally did not fall behind.

In this era, long-range weapons are either throwing stones or shooting arrows.

If the opponent's bow is too strong and shoots farther, then Li Chongyuan has to arrange someone to defend.

One is for your own safety, and the other is for the safety of everyone else.

Chen Juan and the others, they naturally have their own arrangements.

As for the arrangement, Li Chongyuan didn't know.

Even if Li Chongyuan asked, Chen Juan and the others just smiled and didn't answer Li Chongyuan, they just said that you will know in the evening.

Ok.

Then wait until dark.

While waiting, Li Chongyuan kept thinking about what the pirate dens a hundred miles away would look like, and who exactly were those pirates.

From afternoon until evening.

Everyone has already eaten some dry food. It can be regarded as filling their stomachs first, and then having a good meal after the matter is over.

At this time, the three captains who went to reconnaissance also returned.

The news brought back by the third captain was exactly the same as the news he had inquired about in Fuzhou area, without any discrepancies.

to this end.

When Li Chongyuan and the others heard the news, they were so excited that they wished they could board the ship and rush towards the pirate's lair.

However, although it was evening at this time, there was still some time before it got dark.

When the light in the west began to dissipate, the sky became dark in an instant.

As soon as it got dark, everyone started boarding the boat.

After the boat moved, everyone started to head south along the coastline of Liuqiu Island.

It took an hour at most to reach the land of a hundred miles.

Xu time.

When the ship was facing the cold wind for the first time, the flag bearer sent news that the ship ahead had stopped.

Li Chongyuan also had to stop the ship and wait for the signal from the ship ahead.

After half an hour.

Li Chongyuan got specific information about the ship ahead.

"Xiao Langjun, why don't we send a signal now and let everyone do it together." Xing Ba said with an excited expression.

Li Chongyuan shook his head, "We only cooperate, not lead, and it will be the same in the future. After all, when the fleet is formed, I will hand over the fleet to them."

Li Chongyuan will not fight.

As for Chen Juan and the others, they also took Qingfeng Village in and out of the mountains no matter what, and they had good experience in fighting or ambushing.

Furthermore, they have gone to sea once, and fought against many pirates.

If Li Chongyuan took away Chen Juan's power, they would not necessarily be unhappy, but Li Chongyuan thought he didn't have that ability.

Two quarters of an hour later, the flag bearer sent a message, ordering Li Chongyuan's boat to stop after ten miles, saying that if any pirate boat appeared, it would be intercepted.

Li Chongyuan did as he said.

soon.

When Li Chongyuan's boat sailed for ten miles, it stopped.

After Li Chongyuan traveled ten miles by boat, Li Chongyuan immediately saw a pirate's lair.

Moreover, this pirate's lair is located in a safe haven, and there are no less than three hundred small boats parked in the harbor.

All kinds of stone houses and wooden houses are lined up, and all kinds of torches are swaying in the breeze.

Occasionally, several patrolling pirates can be seen wandering around with torches.

As for the inside, Li Chongyuan couldn't see clearly, but Li Chongyuan could feel that there must be a big banquet in the pirate's lair.

As for whether it is true or not, you can only know if you enter it.

Another quarter of an hour later, Chen Juan and the others in front moved, and six paddle steamers, four big, two small, and six, sailed towards the harbor.

At this time, Li Chongyuan was standing on the bow of his boat, nervously watching Chen Juan and the others' boat slowly head towards the harbor.

Li Chongyuan was worried, but also a little nervous.
