Being a lord in another world begins with farming

Chapter 161 People of Queen's Island

About 70 of the first batch of ashigaru survived. Owen transferred 30 of them to the sword ashigaru and the rest to the iron gun ashigaru, and then asked Watanabe to board the ship with these ashigaru after the transfer. go to sea.

Owen didn't follow, but neither Lao Rui nor the pirates dared to change their minds.

Not to mention the ashigaru like dozens of hungry wolves on board, the mark on the chest alone reminds them what to do.

Betrayal is easy, but no one is willing to bear the consequences, unless there are warriors who go ahead and let them see what happens.

Lao Rui knew the thoughts of these pirates well, but he did not sit idly by like before, but beat the pirates all the time to let them know what they can do and what they should not do.

What drove Lao Rui to do this was not loyalty, but interests, because only by relying on Owen, he, an old pirate, could give orders like a captain, and no one dared to object, which was enough.

After seven or eight days, the sailboat came back, but Lao Rui's face was not very good-looking.

"Great captain, this time we successfully plundered a cargo ship and got rich harvests, but on the way back, we encountered a sea monster. Two stupid pirates were lured into the sea by the song of the sea monster. In addition, we I also saw the pirate ship of Queen's Island nearby, and this place may become their hunting range." Lao Rui bent over with one hand on his chest, and reported to Owen respectfully.

Owen was stunned for a moment, and squeezed the space between his brows before recovering from the research.

There are many sea monsters and sea monsters living in the waters around Boer Island. It seems that it needs to be solved, otherwise these monsters will not be able to go ashore, but it is not a solution to keep doing this. In addition, Queen's Island is also a problem.

Human beings are outsiders in this world. When a group of people suddenly come to a strange world, they will definitely panic, and then release the dark side of their hearts in despair. One can imagine what women who are disadvantaged groups will face.

Fortunately, there are not no masters among women, so they chose to break up after taking away a group of women. This is the predecessor of Queen's Island.

Queen's Island, established under such circumstances, can be imagined in its style of conduct. It is a proper matriarchal society, a living Amazon female warrior, men are daily necessities for them, and riding horses is shared. That's why Lao Rui saw The face of the pirate ship on Queen's Island changed drastically. With his old arms and legs, if he fell into the other party's hands, he might not survive three days.

"Don't go out to sea for now, train those ashigaru to adapt to sailing in the nearby waters, and I will solve the remaining problems." Owen understood that the root of the matter was still not enough strength, so he said to Lao Rui.

"Master Captain, you have snatched a lot of good things this time, as well as female slaves, do you want to go and see?" Lao Rui nodded first, and then said.

Of course Owen is interested, but not for the slave girl, but to see if there are any good things.

When Owen came to the beach again, there was already a crude pier and a cargo ship with a big belly. Compared with the sharp-headed and narrow-bodied sailing boat, it was obvious that it couldn’t run fast. No wonder it was robbed.

A lot of goods have been piled up on the beach, and the sailors on the original merchant ship are moving the goods continuously under the scolding of the pirates.

Owen took a brief look, and most of them were wine named Ocean Sweetheart.

This wine is brewed from a plant juice similar to sugarcane. It is not high in alcohol and has a sweet taste. It is the favorite of sailors at sea.

Because compared with fresh water that perishes easily, sea sweethearts have a longer shelf life and better taste. It can be said that as long as there are enough sea sweethearts, the sailors will not be afraid of low morale. No wonder the pirates are happy.

The rest is for food and clothing, and there are twenty barrels of gunpowder and lead bullets, all of which can be used.

It is said that as long as the people in the merchant ship are tougher and threaten with these twenty barrels of gunpowder, they will not be caught here.

But what Owen didn't know was that the people in the merchant ship did this. The problem was that Watanabe and Ashgaru didn't care at all. They rushed up in a swarm, slashing and killing. captured together.

Then Owen saw those female slaves, most of whom had the blood of savages, and their looks were ordinary.

When the progress value was almost accumulated, Owen exchanged for a sailing warship.

This is a three-masted sailing warship with a slender body, with forty cannons, enough to accommodate three hundred people.

According to Lao Rui, even in several large island alliances, this is the main battleship.

However, the more masts there are, the more complicated the operation is. Although Lao Rui has driving experience, the sailors still need to be trained so that they can give full play to their performance.

Fortunately, there are merchant sailors joining, otherwise the manpower alone would be a big problem.

As for whether those sailors are willing to be pirates, hehe, the nature of their work depends entirely on the ship they board on. On a merchant ship they are innocent sailors, and on a pirate ship they are cruel pirates. It's that simple.

In addition to sending Watanabe to learn these, Owen also asked Panasonic to train an elite musketeer, ready to take them to sea.

A few days later, when they were almost familiar, Owen asked Tanaka to stay behind and lead the team to set off himself.

This time it was not a single ship, but two.

The capital ship is the three-masted battleship Hayate, and the auxiliary ship is the two-masted clipper Flying Fish, with Watanabe at the helm.

Because it is a new ship and there are a lot of novices, the speed of the ship is not fast, more of a running-in, but the best way is to recruit a group of skilled sailors and gunners, so they are going to the pirate island.

Pirate Island is not the only one, but a general term. Any island that is willing to be used by pirates can be called a Pirate Island. Catch, no one cares.

Of course, you don't need to expect the pirates to be very disciplined, so Owen saw two pirate ships bombarding the pier of the pirate island from afar, sinking and igniting the ships docked there.

"It's from the Bone Eater Shark." Holding the high-precision monocular telescope provided by Owen, Lao Rui said solemnly.

Even among the pirates, the bone-eating sharks are notorious, because they don't obey the rules at all, and they can be said to be mercenary. No wonder they dare to bombard the pier of the pirate island and set fire to the pirate ships docked there.

"Captain, are you still going to the Pirate Island?" Lao Rui didn't know why the Bone Shark's people bombarded the Pirate Island wharf, but he knew that there would definitely be trouble inside, or big trouble.

Owen can also think of this, so he hesitates.

"Captain, there are people at the pier waving semaphore, it seems to be people from Queen's Island." Lao Rui saw someone raising the flag of Queen's Island waving semaphore, so he hurriedly said to Owen.

"Look at what they are talking about." Owen raised his head and said to Lao Rui after thinking about it.

With a binoculars in hand, Lao Rui concentrated on identifying the other party's semaphore, and at the same time said word by word.

"Captain, the other party is a noble from Queen's Island. They want to hire us to rescue the hostages captured by the bone-eating shark. The reward is very generous." Lao Rui licked his lips and said. After all, although Queen's Island is domineering, it is The well-known generous shot, said to be generous rewards, will not let you down.
