Wang Menghu said: "Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes!"
"I still wanted to take some time to take care of these guys, but they are too slippery. When I was here before, they didn't come. Unexpectedly, just a few days after leaving, these little brats jumped out again."
Qin Yun stood on the deck with his hands behind his hands. The salty sea breeze blew in, and there was a slight smell of blood.
He picked up the telescope and took a closer look, and found that a group of people in strange costumes were actually robbing the islanders on the other side of the pier.
"Zhao Kun!"
"exist."
"Pull the boat over!"
"promise!"
Not long after, three large ships were parked neatly outside the port.
A group of pirates who were eager to grab the goods put down the things or women in their hands.
"Boss, how come I haven't seen this ship before? Which island is it on? Could it be the ship of the Great Xia court?"
"Bad boy, where did Daxia's ships come from? Daxia's navy is so weak that it can't even beat a chicken feather. If Qiongzhou wasn't too poor, it would have been taken over by other countries long ago."
"That's right. Daxia's ship is no better than a chicken feather. Over there, where did this big ship come from?"
"Look at that, the people up there are very fierce!"
"You little kid, you're afraid of a birdie. Someone, come and shout!"
…
"Hey, brother Langli Baitiao, where are you from?"
Qin Yun looked at Zhao Kun.
The latter explained: "Your Highness, this is a slang term for pirates. Langlibaitiao refers to people who make a living at sea."
"You can?"
Zhao Kun said with some embarrassment: "I know a little bit, my father was once a pirate!"
Yang Yong on the side joked: "Your Majesty, his father was ordered by the court to be released, but he is a big pirate with several ships in his hands."
Qin Yun smiled and said nothing: "Really? How about you become a pirate from now on?"
Zhao Kun was stunned: "This..."
Qin Yun waved his hand: "Solve the matter at hand first, answer his words and ask them to put down their weapons, and live!"
"promise!"
Zhao Kun shouted through the loudspeaker: "My prince said, you can live if you put down your weapons!"
The pirates were stunned, Prince? Where did the prince come from?
They thought it was a new pirate force that had appeared out of nowhere. However, just when everyone was paying no attention, someone on the big ship raised a spear.
"Bang!"
The bullet pierced the sky, swept through the brackish sea breeze, penetrated the coconut trees on the shore, and accurately hit a pirate leader who was holding a woman hostage.
"Dry!"
"Boss, the second boss is gone and was injured by a hidden weapon."
"Bad boy, I'm not blind!"
A one-eyed dragon holding a scimitar raised his arms and shouted.
"Why are you standing there? Get on board and seize the ship. I just saw a fair-skinned little girl. Whoever boards the ship first, the little girl will be his!"
"Ouch~~"
A group of pirates roared and rushed towards the big ship, some were swimming and some were paddling small canoes.
This situation reminded Qin Yun of the time when he was on duty in Somalia.
"Yang Yong!"
"exist."
Qin Yun turned around and walked towards the cabin: "Just leave a few alive!"
"promise!"
After saying that, he drew his sword and raised his arms.
"Meet the enemy!"
Everyone came to the deck with their guns raised, and the pirates were so frightened that they screamed and peed.
"The waves are big, pull!"
The one-eyed pirate hurriedly called for people to retreat.
However, Yang Yong had already gotten off the boat. He was holding a knife in one hand and a short fire blunderbuss in the other. He was playing with the combination of swords and guns.
The pirates had rich experience in plundering, but they were no match for this group of regular troops. In less than half an hour, almost the entire army was wiped out. Only the leading few were tied up and hoisted to the ship.
…
"Let me go. I am the One-Eyed White Shark of the One-Eyed Alliance. I have four brothers. If you dare to kill me, Qiongzhou will be massacred tomorrow!"
Qin Yun sat on an old huanghuali wood chair with his eyes lowered.
Yang Yong drew his sword and chopped off one of the one-eyed pirate's fingers.
"Kneel down, King Liang of Great Xia is in front of you, how dare you be so presumptuous?"
The pirate was stunned: "Prince Liang? The imperial court sent the prince to Qiongzhou. What is going on in this ghost place?"
There is a saying that goes well, even in Qiongzhou and Qiongzhou, the capable pirates have gone to those big islands to plunder, who would come to this poor place!
He saw that he was the demoted prince. Thinking of this, the one-eyed white shark became even more unscrupulous.
"Your Majesty, it's easy to say. I'm willing to sacrifice my life for one hundred thousand taels! Does the King of Chaozhou know? My brother gives a lot of money to our One-Eye Alliance every year to buy roads."
"Since you are sealed here, you will have to live your life in the future. How about making a friend today?"
Qin Yun smiled: "Qin Shan, your brother? That's interesting. Now, let me ask you an answer. One more word of nonsense, one less finger!"
"What is your name?"
"I said that you, the prince, make a lot of money, why don't you...ah, my hand!"
Yang Yong was very discerning, so he stepped forward and chopped off a finger with a knife.
"explain!"
"The one-eyed white shark has a code name even on the road!"
Qin Yun: "How many people are there in your one-eyed alliance?"
One-eyed White Shark: "Thirty...ten thousand, eighty big ships."
Qin Yun's heart was trembling. He didn't expect that there were so many pirates. No wonder even Chaozhou City had to pay tribute. According to him, the navy in Daxia was not bad, it was a mess.
There had been a conflict at sea with the Dongjun countries before, and Dangdang Daxia was completely defeated, losing the route to the north and the Dongyi Japanese country.
Later, the sea was banned for a time. Until these years, the Great Xia court had not organized a decent navy. On the contrary, the naval caravans of various noble families were getting bigger and bigger.
Qin Yun suspected that these so-called pirates were probably some people's black gloves.
"I ask you, who is behind your One-Eyed Alliance?"
"Bah, kill me if you can!"
With a wave of Qin Yun's hand, Yang Yong lifted the man up and pointed the long knife at his lower body.
"With one eye you can see mountains and seas. If you break an egg, you will have no descendants! Let me ask you again, who?"
Bai Shark was sweating on his forehead. He knew that the handsome young man in front of him was not joking with him, but if he revealed the person behind the scenes, he would die.
Prevaricate someone at random?
"It's... the Su family in Jizhou!"
Shen Yue on the side snorted coldly: "That's nonsense. The Su family is eight thousand miles away from here. Your lord, I think he is telling lies!"
Qin Yun smiled and said: "I know he is telling lies, Zhao Kun, according to the rules of pirates, how should we deal with this person?"
Zhao Kun held up his hand and said, "Go back to the prince, cut a small hole in his belly, push him into the sea, and wait for the shark to attack."
"Good idea, go for it!"
Although White Shark is called White Shark, Shark is not his brother.
"Wait!"
Qin Yun smiled slightly and said, "Oh? Boss White Shark, do you have anything else to say?"
White Shark gritted his teeth and said, "I told you, can you survive?"
Qin Yun: "Then it depends on whether you are valuable or not!"
White Shark muttered: "It's the Lin family in Jiangnan. My boat was built by the Lin family. I provide 30% of the profits to the Lin family every year."
"What's going on with the One-Eyed Alliance?"
White Shark: "The One-Eyed Alliance is the largest pirate organization in the nearby waters. Your Majesty, I am just a small leader in it. Look, my ship is not even one-third of your ship."
"Who is the leader of your alliance?"
"I don't know. It's very mysterious. However, the other party's ship is fast, big, and very powerful. The pirates nearby dare not mess with him. According to the rules, he is our leader. Every year, we will increase the number according to the size of the ship. Provide silver."
"Your Majesty, please spare me. I have an old man and a young man, and in the middle I have a lovely wife with eighteen bedrooms!"
"You robbed them all, right?"
"No, no, voluntary, all voluntary." White Shark waved his hands repeatedly.
"real?"
“Some were unwilling at first, but then they became willing!”
Qin Yun: "Take him down and put him in custody for further interrogation!"
"promise!"
Qin Yun looked at Wang Muzhi on the side.
"Military advisor, what do you think?"
Wang Muzhi handed over his hand: "Your Majesty, if a place wants to develop, it must have a stable environment. Qiongzhou is isolated. If it wants to develop, it must have stable waterways. Therefore, Qiongzhou's first step is to vigorously develop its navy!"
Qin Yun smiled and said: "As expected of my king's military advisor, I have exactly what I want, but before that, we must prevent these pirates from coming to Qiongzhou to cause trouble!"
Wang Muzhi: "What does the prince mean?"
Qin Yun took out the sea map and pointed to several places: "Zhao Kun, Yang Yong, and Tie Shuan, find a few weak persimmons to establish their power and tell the surrounding islands. From now on, Qiongzhou will be under the jurisdiction of my king, and they are welcome to trade with each other!" "
"Got the order!"
