Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 1028 The Pirates of Shengsi

Suo Laohei ancestor is said to be a Semu person, but now it is impossible to see the high nose and deep eyes on his face. The Ming Taizu stipulated that no intermarriage between Semu people. From generation to generation, he has long been no different from the Han people. Of course, Suo Laohei is not the name Laohei, but he has been at sea for a long time, exposed to the wind and sun, and others are also tanned, and he is also tanned, but Suo Laohei is much darker than others, so he With this nickname.

As for someone saying that Suo Laohei may have the blood of Kunlun slaves, this must not be said in person, otherwise this master will be impatient.

There is a water village on Xiaoyangshan Island in the Zhoushan Archipelago, with more than [-] ships of different sizes and thousands of people. The leader of these people is Suo Laohei.

There are no more than a hundred ships, and more than a thousand talents. This scale means that they can still have some fame in a prefecture and a county. Who are the leaders of these sea lords on the sea? His small fights are really nothing.

Suo Laohei himself said that he was a military household of Guanhaiwei. He ran out to pull the flag because he committed a crime and killed his boss. However, people in the green forest and sea now say that he is a military household that committed a crime and killed his boss. It seems that this is not the case It's not the same as saying that the origin is not right, but it can't be true.

But Suo Laohei can have a small situation here, relying on his familiarity with military households. Chuanshabao and Nanhuizui Zhonghousuo, two military villages near the sea, have close contacts with him. People's weapons, gunpowder, and even ships are bought from there. If there is any disturbance at sea, if there is any group of people crossing the border, Suo Laohei even leads a large group of people to escape to Chuansha Castle.

Daming doesn't have any sailors nowadays, they are all run amok by big sea lords, thieves are not afraid of officials, and thieves are afraid of thieves, this is also one of the characteristics of Daming Sea.

The Shengsi Islands and Zhoushan Islands, this generation is one of the busiest seas in Ming Dynasty. Ships from Nanzhili and Zhejiang provinces have to pass through this area. Suo Laohei led the people to do it piecemeal, which is also very nourishing.

For the goods that were originally robbed, there are people who specialize in collecting stolen goods at sea, but these people are very ruthless in bargaining. It is not bad to give you two taels of goods that are ten taels of silver. Sometimes you can eat them with one tael. If you don’t give them back No, because there is no other place to sell the stolen goods, and if the goods cannot be turned into cash, they are nothing.

But since the opening of Songjiang port, the situation has changed. Suo Laohei came and went, and he established a relationship with Shanghai County through Chuanshabao. There is no place to collect the stolen goods, so the price for the Cao brothers to collect the stolen goods is much higher.

After doing business several times, Suo Laohei and his gang are also fat. Suo Laohei and several big bosses even bought property in Shanghai County, and they are going to make enough money to live there. The Cao brothers are still in Suo Laohei's house. It is a mutually beneficial business to buy shares in the stockade, and to own more than a dozen boats and hundreds of people.

****************
"Longtou, there are boats coming. There are five boats in total. It looks like they are selling silk."

Someone on the mast shouted loudly, there are many islands and reefs in the Shengsi Archipelago, and the terrain is complex, so it is difficult for the fleet to be found hiding among them.

Suo Laohei was on a Guangzhou ship with [-] materials. This ship was not a big ship, but it was already the largest among Suo Laohei's gang. Hearing that there were five silk-trafficking ships, all the people on board There was some commotion, and this was the fattest sea in Hangzhou Bay.

"Can you see clearly?"

"It's absolutely true, it should belong to Hangzhou Fu Shunxiang."

Fu Shunxiang is the No. [-] silk firm in Hangzhou Prefecture. Japanese, Nanyang, and even Fan people all do business with them. As for the title of the leader, only Shen Wang and the two big men from Fujian, Guangdong, and Nanyang are recognized at sea. It's just the boss, Suo Laohei wants to be this majestic by himself, and no one else can control him.

"Damn, after eating this time, you can go to Songjiang Mansion to buy a Zhuangzi for the elderly!"

Suo Laohei muttered something, then turned his head and whispered to several cronies:

"Be optimistic, don't let these gangsters steal it, this ship, this product can sell for a lot of money!"

Several confidantes nodded excitedly, whistled, and started sailing. Their small boat has the upper hand on this island, and they are still sure of chasing these silk cargo ships.

A group of ships came out from the back of the island, and the five large ships were also spotted. It was obvious that the people on board were panicked. They were all busy, some were hoisting sails, and some were hanging flags there.

"Leader, there is the flag of Sanshui League!"

Now the flag of Shen Wang's group is still passing by the sea. After all, the Tianjin Wei Insurance Bank can't reach the south, and the flag of the Sanshui League also plays a similar role.

Suo Laohei set up a pergola, looked at the big boat opposite, spit into the sea, and cursed:
"If we recognized his flag, our side would have already had trouble here, so we don't care about him!"

The people below didn't care much at all. When they heard this order, they all shouted in unison that the ship was getting closer and closer, and everyone on the ship was gearing up.
The five ships were already in disarray. Originally, they could keep a long line and maintain a fleet formation, but now they were in a row, and they even blocked the road with each other, and they couldn't move. They were all screaming and screaming, this formation was just convenient for jumping and climbing the boat.

"Rush in, rush in, each stare at a boat, make a fortune today, and everyone will be rewarded when you return to the village, I will make you girls happy!"

Suo Laohei yelled on the boat, someone hastily sent orders to other boats, and the other boat was already in the mouth, so they stepped up to drive the boat forward.

The sea was windy, and Suo Laohei and his group had been on the sea for many years. They were able to control the sails freely, and soon they entered the opponent's fleet. The big and small boats intertwined with each other, and the chaos became a mess.

After the small boat approached the big ship, the sailors hurriedly connected with the big ship with iron hooks and ropes, and then lowered the sails of their small boats so that they could move with the big ship, and a group of people climbed up the side of the ship with their knives in their mouths.At this time, someone noticed that the big ship was also lowering its sails.

I noticed that before this matter was shouted out, someone appeared on the side of the ship. Two people pushed a small cannon out. The cannon looked thicker than an arm, so it shouldn't be too heavy. When the two of them lifted it, a little Tilt down the muzzle and fire directly.

This is the case with every big ship. There are people on the side of the ship with these small cannons shooting down. The big ship can't go, and the small boat can't go. Everyone is trapped together. The small cannon is filled with iron sand, which is a range of twenty or thirty paces. , but each ship fired staggeredly, and the cover was already very wide.

The muffled sound of bang bang bang became one piece, and the screams also rang out together. The people below were frightened out of their wits. Even a fool could understand that this was a trap.

The sea was windy, and the gunpowder smoke quickly cleared away. The people of Suo Laohei, who were still in shock, saw that the baffle on the side of the ship had been opened, and there were cannons pushed out, as well as firecrackers, bows and arrows.
"Throw your weapons into the sea, lie on the boat, and give you a way to survive. Damn you, tell you not to move, what kind of knife are you touching!"

The person who shouted cursed halfway through, and just as he cursed, two firecrackers had already been fired. The boats were heaving on the sea, and it was not easy to be accurate with bows, arrows and firecrackers, but the people below were also densely packed. The one who touched the knife didn't reach him, but there were two people in front of that person who were injured, screaming and throwing themselves down, seeing the blood spattering in front of him, who would dare to move.

"I'll count to ten here, and if I don't do it, I will be impolite!"

The person at the bow had a loud voice, and someone said with a strange smile:

"Looking back at your nest, it also makes you give up."

A group of people looked back tremblingly, only to see black smoke billowing up, and that direction was the direction of Suo Lao's black thief's den. Seeing this scene, these people gave up, their old den was raided, and there was no way out. , This sight is fierce again, there is no other way but to surrender.

Some people were not reconciled, and said there:
"Excuse me, it's the brother who holds the flag at sea, and let us figure it out."

"It's okay to tell you, we are working under the head of Sha Da."

After hearing this sentence, the place was quiet, and there was a look of lamentation in private. It is not good to offend anyone, but to provoke Sha Dacheng, a shark. Suo Laohei is still thousands of miles away from this big shark, and the other party is willing to set up a trap , This is all to make him look bad, and to think highly of him.

Shengsi Islands and Zhoushan Islands have complex topography, and Ming Dynasty doesn’t have any decent naval forces. Pirates nest inside, and it’s extremely difficult to wipe them out. You can’t find where they are hiding. who to catch.

But these problems are not a problem in front of Sha Dacheng, he is one of the biggest gangs in the sea, the generation in Hangzhou Bay is very familiar, and there are many acquaintances, eyes and ears. When it comes to controlling ships and chasing escape at sea, how can Suo Laohei and others be so good? Their opponents, as for the rules of conduct of the pirates, they are even more familiar.

Setting up a bureau to dig a hole in the sea, those small pirates are hard to guard against, and they are wiped out one by one, not only Suo Laohei, but the pirates in Zhoushan and Shengsi have been swept away. The property was seized, everyone was captured, and a boat was pulled to Songjiang Mansion.

Someone joked that "Even if there is a typhoon at sea, it may not be so clean." The pirates were sent to Songjiang Mansion, and Songjiang Mansion set up an empty field in Nanhuizui Zhonghousuo. Just to see if there is any epidemic disease, the blood-debt leaders and repeat offenders were arrested individually and beheaded for public display.

The captured pirate captives were escorted to Shanghai County by the local valiant regiment, where various projects were in progress. It was the lack of manpower, and the pirates filled the gap. The law and order in Nanzhili and Zhejiang were very bad. The sea surface was also cleared, and the trade routes were safe and smooth.
