I have to say that the new warship is indeed very fast.
Ride the wind and waves all the way.
The little girl was so excited that she stood on the deck and shouted, "Brother-in-law, look! There is a ship there."
Looking in the direction of her finger, a ship appeared at the end of her sight.
It looks like the size of the ship is quite small.
Of course, no ship that dares to sail on the sea is too small, otherwise it will capsize when a storm comes.
Gu Ling'er also looked at it curiously. After this girl was enlightened by her husband, to be precise, it was her husband's words that opened her heart, and she seemed to be much more energetic.
The little girl shouted: "Brother-in-law, is that a pirate ship?"
When it came to the pirate ship, instead of being scared at all, this girl looked excited.
Because on the way, Xiaojiu told her about encountering a pirate ship at sea when she came to Lichao. After the girl learned about it, she wished that the pirates would appear immediately and let her see what the pirates looked like and whether they were good enough for her brother-in-law to fight.
Um! It's just so outrageous.
Lin Bai could only roll his eyes at this girl.
Gu Linger smiled.
However, Shen Polu's words obviously disappointed the little girl. She just heard him say: "That's not a pirate ship, it's just a large fishing boat nearby."
The little girl refused to give up and asked: "It's so far away! Why are you so sure that General Shen is very familiar with this area?"
Lin Bai also looked at Shen Polu with some curiosity.
Shen Polu said: "According to the order of the prince, after the Qinzhou was launched, the general led people to familiarize themselves with the sea area in this area and the route to Changjin County..."
Lin Bai nodded.
When Lao Zhu blocked the southwest, he was still afraid of insufficient food and planned to purchase food from the Wu Dynasty via Changjin County, so he asked the naval battalion to be familiar with this route and the surrounding pirate situation.
"There were some pirates in this area before, but after the Qinzhou was launched, they were beaten away and they have not been found in the recent period."
The southwest area near Guangnan is relatively poor, at least it was that way before, so there are not many pirates.
The area south of the Yangtze River is where pirates are rampant.
Now that he was chased away by the Qinzhou, it was normal for him to escape.
But the little girl was very disappointed. She originally wanted to fight pirates, but the result was good...
But soon, this girl discovered the New World again, "Brother-in-law, look! Is that an island? Have we arrived at the pirates' lair? How about we go directly to their lair?"
At the end of the sight, a lush island did appear.
Lin Bai didn't know much about the terrain in this area, so he wasn't very clear about it.
But Shen Polu was obviously different and immediately said: "That's Yazhou!"
"Yazhou?"
The little girl looked confused.
Gu Ling'er explained: "Yazhou is a large island, only twenty miles away from Guangnan. It is also the territory of Lichao. The island is deserted and lacks resources. It has been a place of exile for prisoners since ancient times."
ah?
The little girl immediately lost interest when she heard this, but she said: "Sister Ling'er, you are from the Wu Dynasty. How long have you been married to the Wu Dynasty? How come you know it so well? I don't even know."
Gu Ling'er smiled and said, "I saw it when I was handling government affairs for my husband."
"You know how to fool around all day long. It's weird if you know."
Lin Bai took the opportunity to scold the little girl to hide his guilt, because he didn't know.
The little girl curled her lips in displeasure, but she could only give in.
Shen Polu agreed: "That's right! Yazhou has been a place of exile for prisoners since ancient times. The conditions there are very difficult, but the prisoners there are also very cruel. Not long ago, a group of prisoners killed people from the government and robbed them. He took over the ship and became a pirate."
"Many of the pirates around here are prisoners from above. I heard that many of the Lotus Marines are prisoners from Yazhou..."
Shen Polu, the commander of the naval camp, had paid close attention to the situation in this sea area.
Hearing him mention the Lotus Navy, Lin Bai couldn't help but think of Zhu Kang.
This guy has been operating at sea, but after he cut off Tianzhu Hemp, there has been no movement, and I don't know what happened to him.
Shen Polu replied: "General, I heard some news that the Tianzhu hemp on Lianhua Island has not decreased. They seem to have a good relationship with Dali and Siam. Tianzhu hemp enters from there, and the trafficking place is also It’s not limited to leaving the court, Wu Dynasty and Goryeo are both targets of their trafficking.”
Good guy!
The great talent called him a good guy!
This is also a talent! They have all started international drug trafficking.
There are more and more markets and supply of goods, it’s amazing!
It’s right to think about it! This guy has been setting up the Lotus Navy for several years. I am afraid that no one knows the sea areas around Lichao better than him. Moreover, he has recruited pirates, raised pirates, both white and black, and is extremely knowledgeable about the surrounding countries.
The key point is that this guy is the first to master Zhuge Liannu. With his strong combat power, he may be in trouble and may become a strong enemy in the future.
Lin Bai thought for a while and asked, "Is there any recent news about him?"
Shen Polu said: "I heard some news that he was planning something together with the former prince. The specific commander is not very clear. The Qinzhou has just been launched not long ago, and he still doesn't know much about the situation in the surrounding sea areas."
"But there is one thing. I heard from nearby fishermen and merchant ships that there have been a lot fewer pirates recently. It should be related to them."
Lin Bai frowned slightly.
Almost all the pirates around Lichao had been subdued by Zhu Kang, and something was obviously wrong with the sudden absence.
However, no matter what the other party is planning, as long as it has nothing to do with him, the talented man will not have the time to deal with it.
On the other hand, when talking about the former crown prince, Lin Bai couldn't help but think of Liu Qingqing. He didn't know about the civil strife in the Red Lotus Sect in Jiangnan at the beginning. After returning from Hexi, he learned about it from Lady Cai Tie.
However, although Shadow Pavilion paid attention to the other party, there was no news after that.
I don’t know what happened to Nizi.
never mind! I don't think there are any of these, it is nothing more than the soldiers coming to block the water and the earth. Although the Southwest Industry and Longfor Shipyard started a little later than the other party, it is not difficult to catch up. What's more, the red cannons have already been produced. The talented people are not panic at all and are a calm group.
Shen Polu and other navy battalion officers were also unfazed, although they still didn't know what the red cannon was.
Because just relying on the current strength of the Navy Battalion, they have absolute confidence to fight against the Lotus Navy.
Two huge ships went all the way through the Yazhou Strait.
Lin Bai stood on the deck, looking at Yazhou in the distance, as if thinking about something.
Yazhou is not far from Qinzhou. It is a pity to waste such a large area. I can’t say...
never mind! After all, it is Lao Zhu’s territory, let’s talk about it!
