"Master, there has been a lot of commotion over the Tiger Flag recently. Several leaders of the Tiger Flag often go to their shipyard hidden in the woods." Old Xu with a pockmarked face said to the person standing in front of him.
As a member of the Shizhai Village, he usually kept an eye on what was going on in the Tiger Flag Village opposite.
Yan Siqi put down the wine bowl in his hand and said, "I already know what you are talking about. I heard that they built a new ship."
"New ship?" Lao Xu frowned slightly and said hesitantly, "It's not like they haven't built ships in the past, and I haven't seen them care so much like this time. Otherwise, we should send someone to the shipyard to inquire about it. The subordinates feel that the movements of the people in the Tiger Flag this time are a bit unusual."
Yan Siqi picked up the wine bowl and took a sip of wine. After swallowing it, he smacked his lips, and then said: "It's not like we haven't tried it before. The people in the Tiger Flag treat the shipyard as a treasure. It's difficult for our people to get close, but It doesn’t matter, if there is a new ship, it must go to sea, just send someone to keep an eye on the outlet.”
"That's what the boss said." Lao Xu nodded, and then said, "In the past year, Huzi Banner has built several large ships at their shipyard. If our Shizhai can have such a shipyard, we will never have to use it again. Judging from Li Dan’s face, he can definitely get rid of Li Dan and sell the things on the island to Nanyang.”
After saying that, his eyes fell on Yan Siqi who was eating.
Yan Siqi took out a piece of dark meat from the basin, raised his head and said to Lao Xu, "Don't worry, sooner or later we will deal with the people with the Tiger Flag on the island, and their shipyard will also fall into the hands of our Shizhai."
He put the meat in his hand into his mouth and tore it apart. After a few bites, a piece of bone was left on the table.
"My subordinate is a little impatient." Lao Xu bowed.
Yan Siqi grabbed the wine bowl and took a sip, and said, "Wait a little longer, wait until their fleet returns to port, and then we will bring the ship and the goods in one pot."
"The boss is wise." Lao Xu hugged Yan Siqi with a look of admiration.
Before, he saw that Yan Siqi did not agree to take action against the Tiger Flag people in Benbei Port. Now he realized that it was not that he was not taking action, but that he was waiting for the Tiger Flag fleet to return to the port.
Yan Siqi put down the wine bowl in his hand and said: "There is news from Hirado that Li Dan's health is getting worse. Our Ten Villages must also prepare in advance. With the boat and shipyard, our Ten Villages can Occupy the entire Bengang and become invincible."
"When the people from Tiger Character Banner first came, my subordinates thought they were used by Li Dan to deal with our Tenth Village. Now it seems that they are a piece of fat sent by Li Dan to our Tenth Village." Old Xu smiled. explain.
Yan Siqi sneered and said: "From the moment I bring you to Bengang, this is where our ten villages are. If anyone wants to intervene, they have to ask me if I agree."
The pock-marked old Xu picked up the wine jar and filled the wine bowl in Yan Siqi's hand, and said: "It's a pity that the iron goods for our Shizhai Nenghu banner are all sent from the Ming Dynasty. In the past two years, my subordinates Watching them sending shiploads of iron goods to Hirado, I was so greedy."
"There are so many things on the island that can be sold to Nanyang, just some iron goods. Even if there is none, it won't stop us from making money." Yan Siqi said disapprovingly.
The pock-marked old Xu said: "I just feel it is a pity. After all, people at sea consume a lot of weapons. With weapons made of good iron, brothers can use them longer."
"When we open the route to Southeast Asia in the future, we will make a lot of money. If you can't afford any weapons you want, are you still afraid that your brothers will be short of weapons?" Yan Siqi snorted.
The meat in the basin was almost eaten, and the wine in the wine jar was half gone. At this time, Yan Siqi had a blush on both sides of his face.
"The boss is in trouble, the red-haired barbarians' ship is coming."
Someone ran in from outside. 120
Yan Siqi narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "See clearly? Are you sure it's the Red-haired Yi's boat?"
"I guarantee with my head that it is really the red-haired barbarian's ship, and it suddenly appeared in Bengang." The person who sent the letter said confidently.
The pock-marked old Xu next to him said: "The red-haired Yi usually travels around Nanyang and Hirado. Why did he suddenly come to Bengang? Could it be a Frankie ship? After all, there is a Frankie on the other side of the island." people."
Yan Siqi stood up and said: "Come on, follow me out and have a look. Whether it's a red-haired barbarian or a Frankie, they're not damn good people. If you come here at this time, there's a good chance that you're here to attack Bengang." .”
Bengang is a natural big port, and with Shizhai's reclamation over the years, this land has long become mature land, and the natives have been driven deep into the forest.
Faced with the sudden appearance of a large ship on the sea, Yan Siqi knew how powerful it was, so naturally he would not take people to the beach stupidly, but stood on a high ground and looked at the sea.
"Master, look, that ship is the red-haired barbarian ship." The man leading the way pointed to the Galen ship docked in Ben Port.
Yan Siqi looked in the direction of the other person's finger.
As far as the eye could see, there was indeed a large ship docked at Ben Port.
"Why just one ship? Normally, the Franconian ships passing by Ben Port are all fleets, but they have never dared to come without a ship, and they are so close to Ben Port, so they are not afraid of the tiger flag. Are the people going to sail a boat to block it?" The pock-marked old Xu frowned slightly.
Normally, there would be Frankie ships showing off their power in Ben Port, but every time they appeared in a fleet, there were at least three ships. There had never been a single ship that appeared alone in Ben Port.
"It's indeed a bit strange." Yan Siqi pinched his beard with his hand.
"It's out, it's out, another boat is coming out!" People from Shizhai nearby shouted pointing in the direction of Bengang.
Many people from Shizhai came with Yan Siqi, and now they all gathered around Yan Siqi.
The pock-marked old Xu pondered for a moment and said: "No, the boat that came out is a lucky boat. When did the people manipulate the lucky boat? Moreover, the lucky boat sailed out from the island, not from the sea. .”
Yan Siqi looked at the two ships in Bengang and suddenly said: "Go to the stockade and get my monocular telescope."
A young man turned around and ran towards the village.
Not long after, he ran back from the stockade and had a long tube-like telescope in his hand.
This monocular telescope was a gift from the Tiger Flag to Shizhai, and has been treasured by Yan Siqi.
At this moment, Yan Siqi picked up the monocular and put it in front of his eyes, looking towards Bengang.
After watching for a long time, he suddenly said: "No, there are all Han people on the boat, there are no Ban people. And the man standing on the deck looks so much like the guy named Zheng."
The people on the side could only stare when they heard his words. Although they could see the ship in Bengang, they could not see the people on the ship clearly.
