Chapter 359 Professional Pirates
Chapter 359 Professional Pirates (Part )
From Kahar (Bay of Bengal) to Kala (Straits of Malacca).
Going smoothly, they have been traveling for nearly two months.
The closer he got to Kara, the more nervous Faisal became.
Kara, this is a very dangerous place for food merchants.
Legend has it that there are many giant snakes in this sea area.
Some are even thicker than a human body, and if one is not careful, they can destroy a ship.
If this is not the most dangerous thing!
So on both sides of this long and narrow sea, there are pirates with a long history and endless emergence, which are the existence that their big food merchants are most afraid of.
In this strait leading to the "Spice Islands", many big food merchants have become successful.
However, they were frequently robbed by pirates, which resulted in the loss of their fortunes and the destruction of their ships and lives.
Especially in the late Tang Dynasty, China was too busy internally to take care of itself. There were disputes among forces on the islands in Southeast Asia, and piracy reached its peak.
I heard that the seniors at that time not only had all their ships and cargo robbed.
They would even be kidnapped by pirates, who would send messages to their hometown and demand ransom.
Those who can successfully redeem people should thank Allah!
The most unacceptable thing is that some of them were extorted before the merchants could collect the ransom.
With such cruelty, who would come to kill someone?
The big food merchants had no choice but to reluctantly abandon this trading transit station, which was in political chaos and full of business opportunities.
"General, please don't be careless. Pirates have no morality at all."
Faisal's face was very solemn. Restarting this trade route was of great significance to the Food Empire.
"Pirates!" Gao Huaiyu listened with great interest. When they were on Shield Fish Island, they killed a lot of them.
Hei Wa did not dare to be careless: "Seeing how serious Feisal is, General, we can't capsize in the ditch. After crossing this strait, we are not far from Daxia!"
"Don't worry, uncle!" Gao Huaiyu said that he knew what was going on.
Who doesn’t want to do business without capital? !
More than 300 large-scale ships arrived at one time. This was a grand event that had not happened for many years.
This is a super fat cow!
The pirates, big and small, were drooling three thousand feet down.
Close, close.
Huh?
Long Qi looks a bit familiar!
Commander-in-Chief Gao issued a military order before entering the strait:
All navy soldiers are required to wear life jackets and are armed with javelins and machetes. The deck is lined with musketry teams on standby.
Since the semaphore, the fleet has begun to adjust its formation.
Ship No. 2 was at the top of the queue. Commander Gao, who was wearing soft armor, looked straight ahead with cold eyes.
The entire strait is 650 nautical miles long, and their ships can sail an average of 100 nautical miles per day. It takes no more than ten days for all ships to pass through the strait.
Danger, from the bottom of the sea to both sides, from the legendary python to pirates.
Everyone was in high spirits.
Everyone knew that after crossing this strait, they were very close to Daxia.
When they return to Daxia, it’s time for them to make a fortune!
At such a tense moment, Uncle Zhongqin was actually content and playing with the two ponies in the cabin.
Ever since he put the two ponies into a space one night, they had become attached to him.
I don’t drink non-space water, but I eat the barley and oats produced in space with relish.
"Haha, uncle, General Gao can't sleep at night, but you are taking it easy."
"Master Shangshu, we have to believe General Gao. Although the pirates are ferocious, there are more than 30,000 of us! If they want to bite us, they have to see if their teeth are good."
Hei Wa expected it well. The pirates who were drooling at them were scratching their hearts like cats' claws at this moment.
The people standing on the deck looked like they were not businessmen or ordinary people. They were a fucking navy, okay?
From such a close distance, they could clearly see the clothes these people were wearing and the weapons they were holding. Who dares to act rashly?
Can they not tell if they see a bloodless weapon?
People on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are in shock.
On an island not far away, the largest pirate den in Karakara was holding a conference.
There were hundreds of pirate leaders, big and small, attending the meeting.
A group of unorganized and undisciplined guys, making so much noise that their voices could reach the sky.
Pirate 1: "Master, these are a bunch of fat sheep!"
Pirate 2: "Oh my god, we are so dizzy just counting how many ships there are. Three hundred and fifty-eight ships. We haven't seen such a large fleet in many years."
Pirate 3: "Who can guess what's on their ship?"
Pirate 2: "They must have come from Dashi and Tianzhu. I guess there must be a lot of gold and gems on the ship!"
Pirate 1: "Master, let's do it! As long as we finish this job, our three or five generations will have no worries about food and drink!"
Pirate 2: "Their ships are not bad either. We have to keep both the cargo and the ship. With the ship, where can we go?!"
"Chi Liu!" He is so greedy. He is so greedy.
All the pirates who came to the meeting had the same idea. They wanted to unite and capture all the merchant ships.
How can we miss a good thing that we have never experienced in eight lifetimes?
You ask, we are both Han Chinese, so it’s not easy to attack?
That doesn't exist!
The reason is that I am willing to sit down and listen to the boss's command.
For the sake of being the master, they have many weapons and strong men and horses.
Seeing that they were noisy, the younger brother below the headmaster became angry:
"Are you blind? Ah! Is that an ordinary ship merchant's ship? Damn it, their navy has been dispatched. Do you know what the dragon flag represents? That is an official ship of the imperial court! We must dare If you rob these ships, can you imagine the consequences?”
Is there anything more annoying than watching it with helpless eyes and not being able to eat it in my mouth?
Just know how to support their eldest brother together!
Pirate 1: "What a scaredy-cat! If we don't stop doing anything, we'll kill them all. Where can the court find us?"
The big boss wanted to give this guy a punch:
"What a shame! Kill them all! How many can you kill?"
Pirate 1: "Hey! Kill one to save your capital, kill a pair to earn one! Just ask if you dare?"
A group of minions below shouted: "We dare, we dare!"
If Huang Shangshu and the others were here, they would be able to hear that the pirates who made the most noise were actually speaking in Chinese.
That's right!
This group of pirates were the Han people who migrated from Lingnan one after another starting from the years of melee in the late Tang Dynasty.
Originally, the pirates on both sides of the strait were mostly ordinary local fishermen before the arrival of the Han people.
In the beginning, it was just taking a small sampan at night and sneaking onto the merchant ships. More or less, what you stole didn't matter.
The Han people who migrated here quickly discovered this kind of business without capital.
The scale of professional pirates expanded rapidly.
Compared with the local Malays, the Han people who had studied and practiced martial arts were a hundred times more powerful than the locals.
They understand both teamwork and the making of various iron tools.
The boarding axes made by them are very sharp and are particularly effective in cutting rigging and netting when boarding a ship.
Ship-wide robberies, kidnappings, grab-and-runs, and even the sale of stolen goods have special channels.
