The naval battles in the sailing era often last for a long time, usually consisting of two stages: battle battles and chase battles. During battles, the enemy and us form formations and fight. After the winner is decided, the loser will disband the array and flee in all directions. Then there will be a chase battle that lasts for several days or even months - not only do you chase me and escape, but also I hide and seek, and play hide-and-seek games in the vast sea.

Zhou Xiaoqi, who had been making a living at sea when he was young, was like most of the trooper leaders in this era. They played hide-and-seek and chased at sea. This era was a place without any rules! Even the most regular maritime merchants had a group of people who could fight and kill.

For example, the Pu family in Quanzhou and the Huang family in Quanzhou even have warships specially used for naval battles. In the markets of the Southern Fan, Western or Japanese, they are actually made by force! If they want to cut their flesh and oil from them, they are really licking blood from the blade. If they are not capable of escaping, they will not live long.

However, Zhou Xiaoqi lived in this bloody sea for a long time, and he became more and more comfortable. He was naturally a master who could run. Not only was he first-class in sailing and controlling boats, but he also had a decisive decision that ordinary people did not have. Once the signs were wrong, he turned around and ran away. When he found that there was a strong enemy chasing him, he threw away his weapons and supplies, running as fast as possible.

However, the sea ship that threw away large weapons lost its armed forces, and if it lost supplies, it could not last long at sea. Using this method to reduce weight in exchange for speed would seem like a poison to quench thirst. But Zhou Xiaoqi was not afraid. He had been scattered at sea for so many years, and he relied on not only his courage and ability to control the ship.

He knew that he would leave a way out and wanted to have three nests of cunning rabbits.

In the sea area in the southeast of the Song Dynasty, where he often moves, he had already arranged several nests. In the small sea state Ryukyu, about 1,500 miles southeast of Mingzhou, in Hakata, Kyushu Island, Japan, Jeju Island, on the southwest of Goryeo, and on the large island Yizhou, off the coast of Fujian, there are nests belonging to Zhou Xiaoqi. Some are hidden in downtowns, some are set up in villages, and some are caves in the deserted mountains and ridges. These nests contain property and weapons, guarded by his confidant, which is his capital to make a comeback.

In addition, there is also an extremely secret network of relationships. It has contacts with the local tyrants on Jeju Island, the merchants and some local samurai on Kyushu Island in Japan. Through their path, we can not only sell stolen goods, buy ships and buy machinery, but also hire people. Whether it is Jeju Island, the coastal areas of Goryeo or Kyushu, Japan, there is no shortage of food and clothing in this era. If you want to use your life to fight for wealth, as long as you have money, even a army of tens of thousands or tens of thousands can be raised.

There is a way out, but there are also some considerations for where to go. First of all, you have to follow the wind direction, now it is the northwest wind. It is naturally the smoothest to go southeast to Kyushu, Japan.

However, Zhou Xiaoqi had already discovered that centipede ships were wandering in the southeast. He thought that these centipede ships were going to Kyushu - the relationship between the Song Dynasty and Japan was good! He believed that the Pu family had not told the truth before, and that they were not against the rebels, but the serious Song Dynasty official army! Once these official troops went to negotiate with Dazaifu and Zhenxi in Kyushu, Japan, and asked them to send troops to capture pirates like themselves. Kyushu would be amazing!

Zhou Xiaoqi, who has a nest in Hakata, certainly knew that the force in Kyushu was not weak, at least the number of people was enough. They adopted the "Imperial Family" system, which was a level-by-level feudal system. Such a system would naturally not be peaceful. If you have any questions, you will kill each other. If you have any questions, you will naturally have some force. And the number of samurai soldiers is a bit too high. Even in a small fishing village, there are a few guys who call themselves samurai. It is not difficult to kill dozens of samurai. But once Dazaifu and Jinxi Investigation issued an order, thousands or tens of thousands of samurai soldiers would come. This would make people feel a little numb.

Since Kyushu Island cannot be visited now, the only place you can go to is Jeju Island, which belongs to Goryeo. Unlike Kyushu, where samurai is full of samurai, the force on Jeju Island is weak. The local snake there is the star master of the Gao family. It has been passed down by more than ten generations, but it has not gone through any war and has long been decayed. Otherwise, it would not have been a weak country like Goryeo as its master.

Just because of the dozen boats that Zhou Xiaoqi brought, and brothers who were less than 2,000 yuan, it would be not enough to go to Kyushu. If you also went to Jeju Island, you could definitely walk sideways. If you could contact a few more boat bandits and pirates, it would be possible to capture Jeju Island!

"Brother Seven, Jeju has arrived! Just north, you have seen the ground!"

While Zhou Xiaoqi was thinking about whether to roam on Jeju Island and venting the affliction in his heart, someone yelled outside the cabin.

Zhou Xiaoqi opened his eyes and a few rays of dazzling sunlight shot into the window of the cabin. He reached out to cover it: "When is it now?"

"It's over." Someone replied.

It was around 2 pm at the end.

"It's almost two days!" Zhou Xiaoqi muttered. His fleet had been fleeing on the sea for nearly two days. "How many boats are there to follow?"

Zhou Xiaoqi's bandit gang was not a close group, but more than a dozen "owners of a ship" formed an alliance with their bosses. Zhou Xiaoqi traveled to Qi among his brothers, but his boat was the largest and strongest, and he also had the most thugs under his command, so he became a group of leaders.

"There are seven of our ships and eight of other ships, all of which are blessed ships, no vague spinning boats and centipede boats from the Chen family."

Zhou Xiaoqi nodded, got up and left the cabin, strode to the bow, and looked around. There were indeed more than a dozen boats on the sea, all of which were rowing the bow against the land in the distance. None of these sea boats was bigger than his. It seemed that he was still the leader of a gang if he joined the alliance with his brother!

Thinking of this, he felt very happy and ordered with a smile: "With the tide not high, find a shallow to stand the boat. Leave 20 brothers to guard the boat, and take the rest with you to get off the boat to see if you can find a fishing village. Let's have a little fun first!"

The drums and the conch horn sounded - this was Zhou Xiaoqi's order to rush to the beach, and he was also expressing his leadership position to the pirates and pirates on the surrounding sea!

...

"Land! Land! There is land ahead!"

The sound of cheering sounded on the sea in the northeast of Jeju Island. This time, hundreds of sea boats of different sizes came, covering a large area of ​​ocean surface, with sails and flags hanging high almost covering the sky.

There are people cheering on every ship at this time! Although it is only a two-day journey, it gives those who have been on the ship for the first time to ride a long voyage and feel that it will be a life-threatening death.

It’s not because of a naval battle with the Pu family at Dinghai Waihai 2 days ago, but because of this "high wind and rapid waves" and boundless sea. People who have not sailed on the sea can hardly imagine the insignificance of the various ships built by humans. Even super tankers with displacement of hundreds of thousands of tons in later generations are still a light boat when they arrive at the sea! What’s more, these small wooden boats with a load of up to a few hundred tons? If they encounter strong winds and waves, they will be overturned one by one - even if there are no big winds and waves, twenty or thirty wooden boats have sunk due to various reasons on the sea route in the past two days.

Basically, the wind and waves are not high, and these wooden boats are shaking up and down. None of the sailors who run through the sea all year round will not be seasick! Even Chen Dexing's "navy" officers and soldiers, after floating on the sea for two days, also seemed a little haggard.

Fortunately, it’s just crossing a sea of ​​thousands of miles, not the Pacific Ocean that is more than twenty thousand miles away!

Chen Dexing was standing on the back deck of the Haitian, beside him was Zhao Lin'er with a pale face. The little girl was not sick, but was a little seasick. She hadn't eaten anything for two days and was soft. She was now leaning on Chen Dexing's shoulder and looking at the distant land.

"Chen Lang, is that the country of Haidong?" Seeing the land, Zhao Liner's spirit was getting better. "We are there to establish the country, right?"

Chen Dexing stroked her hair and smiled faintly: "Jeju Island is just the beginning... It won't take long, Goryeo, Japan, and Liaodong will be stepped under our feet!"

"Is there another war?" Zhao Lin'er sighed softly, "As soon as the war is fought, people will die. If there is no war, it would be nice to live quietly in Jeju like this."

Chen Dexing caressed the little loli's back in pamperingly. This girl was very kind and could not bear to see the war and fighting. She should have enjoyed peace in Lin'an, where she was rich and comfortable, but now she followed herself on a journey full of blood and fire.

Chen Dexing smiled and changed the topic: "Lin'er, when I capture Jianghua Island and conquer Goryeo, how about we move to Jianghua Island? There is a palace city of King Goryeo, which is just for our new home. We will get married there... How about you marry me with Cuixian, and let Mongolian Baoyin be a concubine?"

"Well..." Zhao Lin'er's little face, which was originally bloodless, suddenly turned red. She bit her red lips and didn't say anything, but just nodded slightly.

Seeing her shy look, Chen Dexing naturally liked her very much. He reached out to put his hand on her slim waist and hugged her tightly toward him.

While the two were whispering, the observation post on the ship suddenly roared: "The enemy ships were found ahead! Three of them were all sloops."

The sloop is a ship with only one mast, so it is naturally not a big ship. These three sloops were obviously sent by the Goryeo people on Jeju Island. They probably did not want to fight, but wanted to negotiate...

Gao Da had already run to the back deck for a long time: "Brother, should you send someone to talk first?"
