"If I had such a warship in the Shangshan family, I'm afraid no one in the entire Yingzhou sea dared to threaten us again, which would put unprecedented pressure on those hostile forces. Even Kazuzemaru would not dare to act rashly..."

In the past few days, Yoshiro Sushi's mind has been occupied by the charm of the sail battleship. He has always been very well-educated and even had the idea of ​​catching the ship. If he hadn't reason told himself that he could not do this, he would have really lost control.

Not for anything else, just because Yingzhou is not only a land area, but also a sea area. In order to compete for a fishing area or to swear "sovereignty" on routes, various forces often encounter "armed fighting across the village" public security incidents.

Of course, this is no wonder that the students in Yingzhou should think from the perspective of others. Just imagine who will live in that bird that will never poop and natural disasters and man-made disasters for the rest of their lives. If you don’t become crazy, you can simply describe it as a saint.

Years of war, the scarcity of land, and the exploitation of the warriors (gentry) class have made ordinary people from all over Yingzhou only focus on the ocean.

Therefore, the fishing industry in Yingzhou was developing very rapidly. Early Yingzhou fishermen even traveled thousands of miles to various places along the Central Plains to make transactions to make a living by risking being swept into the sea.

However, after the Great Zhou Dynasty declined and the central government's control over the coastal waters became increasingly weak, the fishermen in Yingzhou occasionally robbed and found that the profit was much stronger than selling fish, and then they gave birth to a new profession, the Yinggang, that is, the pirate.

Of course, the Yinggang did not only refer to the Yingzhou people, but the Yingzhou people had the most outstanding combat power among the pirates. Among them, there were also the island countries in the southeast and even the Central Plains people participating. Pirates from various countries gathered together to exchange valuable plundering experiences with each other.

The old pirates fully carried forward the spirit of teamwork, racked their brains to formulate detailed plans for the next robbery, as well as the issue of sharing the spoils afterwards, and tried their best to avoid unnecessary disputes and work together to get rich.

The newly joined rookie pirate humbly obeyed the teachings of his predecessors and secretly vowed to perform well in the robbery, strive to become the successors of their predecessors in the future, and carry forward the glorious and emotional profession of pirates.

In this way, the people of Yingzhou, Central Plains, and the people of the southeastern islands formed groups of different sizes and "worked" in their respective designated sea areas. Over time, the pirate power became increasingly larger, especially the coastal area of ​​the Central Plains, which had to be dealt with.

The coastal areas of the south of the Yangtze River were often plundered by the Japanese enemy. The defenders from all over the country sent troops to encircle and suppress them several times, and even the navy was used, but they still returned in disgrace.

Facts have proved that although these Sima things have a bad reputation, their combat effectiveness is still very considerable. After all, Jiang Ze, the third master of the Jiang family, was killed and wiped out. He almost fell into the sea to feed the turtle.

As a forced person, the Jiang family had to negotiate with the Yingko in order to ensure the smooth flow of the seaway in order to pay a considerable amount of protection fee every year in order to barely maintain their own business.

Of course, apart from this, the Ying bandits have no moral integrity. They not only plunder the coast of the Central Plains, but also enjoy the Yingzhou local area.

After all, in this turbulent era, few people know what the feelings of family and country are. After all, would you expect a group of madmen who licked blood from the knife to "patriotism"? If you really have this sentiment, you may be afraid that the war will be stopped in Yingzhou, which is as big as a palm.

Yilong Shangshan himself also hated Yingko very much. The decline of the family was caused by the repeated interruption of the sea trade by Yingko. After all, he hated Yingko no less than the people in the Central Plains.

Now that he has witnessed such a large warship with his own eyes, he will inevitably have some evil thoughts, but it just flashed by. He knew that if he really wanted to rob the ship, his family would not be able to bear the consequences at all, not to mention that the probability of robbing the ship was almost negative, so Gan Ziba is not a good man and a trustworthy woman.

Gan Ziba held a straw in his mouth, a short shirt open, and walked slowly along the street with his hands on his hips, looking around.

Since the newly built Sail Battleship was launched, Liu Ce fulfilled his original promise, which really brought him to one of the "Yangfan" flagships and appointed him as the navy's instructor and acting captain. The purpose was to see if he was as capable as he said to train a qualified navy.

Since Gan Ziba came into contact with this battleship named for commemorating Yang Fan and the soldiers of Jingwei Camp who died in Hanling that year, his performance may not be much better than Shangshan Yilong.

From the moment he boarded the cabin, he stayed with the warship almost day and night. Apart from training the navy and necessary meetings, he had never seen him get off the ship a few times. He had already determined that the battleship was his home.

After all, the "Yangfan" has all the facilities, and there are basically everything you should have in daily life. The seating areas of each cabin are spacious and bright, and the fresh refrigeration and exhaust system can make the hot summer extremely comfortable.

(During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, there were refrigeration devices like air conditioners in the palace. A little longer, the Daming Palace of the Tang Dynasty, and even the gentry's homes also had water cooling devices. They used several bamboo pipes to transport the ice water or well water in the pool to the designated room through the water truck. However, the cost of construction and use is too high, and it is impossible for the public to popularize it.)

Therefore, although Gan Ziba was rank of a acting captain, he always regarded himself as a captain, and his care for the warships exceeded his imagination. Shangshan Yilong was scolded by him because he touched the so-called "something shouldn't be touched" place on the ship a few times.

This time, Gan Ziba came to Lingnan. On the one hand, he was responsible for transporting military pay from the border army. On the other hand, he planned to see if there were any naval candidates familiar with the water. If so, he would rob them. After all, he had promised to make a promise in front of Liu Ce. Wouldn't he be "deception of the king" if he couldn't finish the task?

A group of people accompanied the veterans in front of them all the way around, and soon Gan Ziba confirmed something that the people in Waren Town lived in equal difficulty, which can be seen from the surrounding walls and the lack of people going to shop in restaurants.

As for the appearance of this city, let alone the rain in the south. The rain the day before yesterday has been muddy until now, and the mud is splashed on the ground. This makes Gan Ziba, who are used to walking on the cement Kangzhuang Avenue and other soldiers accompanying Han soldiers who are really unacceptable.

"As the saying goes, if you have simple things and you can't accept it if you want to go back..."

Gan Ziba hummed and came to a tea shed with caress. He stepped on another bamboo stool next to him with his big foot. This made Shangshan Yilong, who wanted to sit next to him, shook his head and sigh, and then sat opposite his table.

"Man! A pot of tea!"

Gan Ziba shouted, and soon an old man wearing a tile scarf was somewhat similar to the Miao costume in his previous life, came to him with a pot of tea.

"Several guests, what tea do you want to drink?"

The business in the teahouse is very bad. Gan Ziba, the entourage, is still the first business today, so he is naturally very enthusiastic.

Without saying a word, Gan Ziba took out a silver dollar from his arms and placed it on the table. His eyes were still wandering around outside the tea shed, and he said intently: "I don't know tea either. You can watch it, just drink it."

A silver dollar!

The old man trembled and picked up the silver dollar, his face full of excitement, but after thinking about it, he put him back and said, "Customer, we only have coarse tea here, a bowl costs only two cents. I really can't find such a silver dollar if you give me..."

Gan Ziba waved his hand: "It's okay, I'll give you two more dishes of beans, and the rest will be rewarded for you..."

"this……"

Gan Ziba's wealth made the teahouse owner not know how to reply. After confirming that it was not a joke, he accepted the silver dollar and quickly took the tea bowl and replaced it with the best tea and a few dishes of snacks and placed it in front of them.

At this moment, a young man with a naked upper body and dark skin entered the tea shed with a fishing basket on his back. His appearance immediately attracted Gan Ziba's attention.

Because Gan Ziba smelled a smell of sea salt from that guy, which was a smell that only occurs when soaking in the sea all year round.

"Grandpa, I'm back..."

As soon as he entered the tea shed, the young man put down the fishing basket, shouted in the shed, then came to the water tank and grabbed half a spoon of gourd ladle, scooped a spoon of water and poured it into his mouth.

"Baoer is back?"

When the old man heard this, he staggered out of the tea shed.

The young man left the tea shed and was about to speak, but he saw that the tea shed was full of people, especially the man with a tattoo on his left chest was constantly looking at him, his eyes full of splendor.

The young man avoided the sight that Gan Ziba cast and asked the old man: "Grandpa, there are so many people in the teahouse..."

The old man smiled and said, "Yes, business is good today, and a generous guest is here to have a tea..."

"Oh..." The young man responded, and stopped paying attention to them. He hurriedly opened the fishing basket on the ground, and said to the old man with a smile: "Grandpa, look, I have found a lot of pearls in the sea these two days. Now is it enough to pay the rent for the past six months?"

The old man sighed and said to the young man: "Oh, it's all my fault that my old bones are useless. They have made you suffer. The sea is vast and dangerous. If you have a few shortcomings, how can I be worthy of your dead parents..."

The young man shook his head: "Grandpa, don't say that. We are a family, and it's only a matter of doing our part. Besides, I'm very familiar with things like finding Haizhu. If you have your companions to help you, you won't be able to do anything..."

Bang-

As soon as the young man finished speaking, he heard Gan Ziba slap the table and asked the young man excitedly, "Hey, what did you say just now? I have been picking pearls in the sea all year round?"

The young man was startled and turned around and said to Gan Ziba, "Yes? What's wrong?"

"Hahaha!"

Gan Ziba laughed three times, came to the young man, patted his shoulder, nodded with satisfaction, "No, look at this young man who is a good piece of material, what's the name?"

The young man was stunned at first, then disgusted Gan Ziba's hand and said, "My name is Zheng Sanbao, what do you want to do?"
