The Penghu Islands are infinitely larger than Liu'ao Island, and these islands are dotted with stars. During the day, Xia Dehai hid his ships on the nearby uninhabited islands.
These pirates would never have thought that someone would come to take advantage of them right under their noses.
Darkness under the lamp is often dark and scary.
The hunter doesn't know when he has become the prey.
Liangchuan is determined to win these islands. With these islands, he can further advance into Yizhou. If Yizhou is captured, then he will really have his own place to live, and he will not have to rely on others under the Song Dynasty court!
He also has a place to accommodate so many people under his command!
Xia Dehai's investigation work was carried out very carefully.
He found that the targets of warships at sea were too huge, and the enemy could easily spot them without telescopes during the day. After hiding the ship in an uninhabited harbor, he discovered that people could hide on a nearby island and observe with a telescope!
There are quite a lot of people on the island, there are actually hundreds of them, both men and women. Most of the women are tied with ropes and used like livestock for the men on the island to drive. It seems that these women are also captured by pirates from the outside world and used for them. Vent and work as a slave!
He didn't know what the main island, Xia Dehai, was called, but he knew that all the islanders were concentrated here, and the two small islands next to it didn't even have anyone posted to guard it.
The facilities on the island are also very complete. Looking through the telescope from a distance, you can see everything from kitchens, bathhouses, meeting halls, and docks. There is even a secluded vegetable garden on the island. They also know that they can only grow their own vegetables, otherwise they will quickly get sepsis on this island.
Several important places, docks, weapons depots and barracks.
These pirates also knew the importance of concealment. They hid the shipyard in a small harbor in the inland sea of the archipelago. Even if they sailed around the periphery of the archipelago, they would not be able to discover that the island had such a large stronghold.
As for the weapons depot, the weapons in it are very average. Most of the pirates are not good at land combat. They rely on water-based methods to drill other people's ships, and they also hook enemy ships and set fire to them to steal things!
The barracks is more like a refugee camp. A group of unkempt pirates all live in a large room. Every night, this big room starts singing loudly, and everyone drinks like crazy.
Women suffered a lot. They became the tools for these pirates to vent their anger in public. They suffered numbly, like a piece of paralyzed flesh. Some people catered to them, hoping that the torture they suffered would be lighter.
Although Xia Dehai was also a water thief, and was a major scourge in Wan'andu back then, he was not so cruel to people. He would only kill some people who were armed with swords, for fear of their revenge. For these women, He would never be so insulting.
These pirates are so damn good!
And among these pirates, Xia Dehai could find something amiss. There was obviously a group of pirates who were the main members. They had strange hairstyles and extremely short statures. They were no different from the Japanese in the island country!
Is this island controlled by the Japanese?
An accident was an accident, but Xia Dehai didn't find it strange that these Japanese people dared to chase them from the mouth of the Yangtze River all the way to Qingyuan. This sea was just like their own home, running rampant and domineering! In order to better plunder at sea, these islands that control the offshore are

Indispensable, besides, are there any animal behaviors that they can't do?
On the other hand, it should be said that only these beasts can do such beastly acts!
After observing for a few days, Xia Dehai discovered that there was a very special group of people on the island. They were dressed differently from ordinary pirates. They looked more like businessmen, serious ship merchants, rather than pirates who robbed homes and houses!
Moreover, they were wearing authentic Hanfu. How could Han Chinese and Japanese people get together? He felt more and more that this island was unusual, but he couldn't tell what was wrong!
These people were carrying boxes of items to the ships, as if they were goods to be loaded onto the ships and sold in Southeast Asia!
Pirates also do business? Are these people their cover?
Yes, many of the things they grabbed were not what they needed, such as silk, porcelain, spices, etc. The island's population was not large and its digestion capacity was very limited. What they needed more was to grab these things. Turn cash into money and buy the supplies you need on the island!
Su Wei told Xia Dehai to arrest a few of them when he had the chance and ask them where they came from!
If you go to the island to arrest people, it is easy to find out which members are missing, but if you are at sea, no one knows whether the crew members who went to sea had an accident or did not come back due to other reasons!
The best way to catch them is to grab the things on their boat along the way!
Xia Dehai was sure that these people would turn back again after leaving the harbor, so he personally drove the ship to chase these fake businessmen!
There are many reasons why Xia Dehai despises these pirates. They may be no different from wild beasts, or they may have inferior skills, but what makes Xia Dehai despise them the most is that the warships of these people are really broken. He could find the broken boats that he had fought with at sea a few days ago and dragged them back to the dock. They were left in the harbor without any repairs and were ignored again.
For those who make a living at sea, the boat is their life! How can they get respect from others if they don't value their second life so much?
Even the merchants who were carrying goods to go south understood this truth better than them. Looking at those merchant ships, they were much better than these warships!
However, no matter how good the merchant ship is, it is no match for Xia Dehai's improved warship!
These pirates even took inventory of the goods for a long time. After they were all decorated, they had to wait until sunset before everyone pretended to board the ship. Under the cover of night, they raised the sails and slowly sailed out of the harbor!
Xia Dehai, who was following behind, couldn't help but sneer. These people were also afraid of being recognized!
Xia Dehai asked himself, if he were a pirate, he would be so careful, because such a good nest is not easy to get, and if someone from the government discovers it, it will be a disaster!
Almost two or three hours after the pirate merchant ship sailed out, the pirates on the island also announced that the prostitution was over, and everyone fell into a drunken dream. Xia Dehai left a few people to continue to observe the activities on the island, and he personally led the people to control the battle. The boat sailed out of the bay and followed the merchant ship heading south!
This is so easy! Seeing that another great achievement fell into his own hands! Think about this thousands of miles of sea territory, you have ships and cannons in your hands, who is your opponent? Xia Dehai stood in front of the wind. He had never thought in his life that he was like this gang of pirates.

A common water thief can be so high-spirited today!
Xia Dehai followed the pirate merchant ship and sailed all night until it completely left the Penghu Islands. Then he chased after it like a killer whale and bit the prey!
Cannons are also installed on the deck of the improved warship. Although the caliber of these cannons is not very large, the advantage is that the muzzles of these cannons are flexible and can adjust the firing angle at any time, making them more adaptable to changes in the battlefield!
Xia Dehai gave an order and a cannon exploded in front of the merchant ship!
The high splash of water wetted the deck of the pirate ship!
All the pirates' faces were ashen and their hearts were ashen. They completely gave up resistance, stopped the ship, and restrained themselves in place!
In the naval battle a few days ago, the pirates who escaped back to Penghu Island had long described the sharp weapons equipped by the new warships of the Song Dynasty as if they were like magic spells from the gods. The color of the world changed with one shot. The exaggerated description made everyone even more suspicious of these. The artillery is in awe!
In addition, they had always been unfavorable, and now the proud pirate ship was beaten like a sieve. Everyone's pirates were full of fear of this new warship and new weapons they had never seen before!
I didn't expect these people to target me!
The pirates never imagined that one day they would actually become someone else's prey!
Xia Dehai only used one cannonball, and the pirates surrendered!
Forget it, Xia Dehai is now the strongest and most domineering pirate in this sea area!
The sailors threw up their hooks and swung to the opposite ship one by one. The battle ended faster than Xia Dehai imagined, and he captured the pirate's merchant ship without any blood!
"Which one of you is the leader? Call me out!" Xia Dedi glanced around at this group of pirates disguised as businessmen and said sternly!
The pirates all looked at the same person, a middle-aged man.
"Are you their leader?"
The middle-aged man lowered his head and said bitterly: "If you want to kill or cut into pieces, please feel free to do so. I don't want these people to be so useless that they let you seize the ship without resisting. It's men. Let's fight with real swords and guns!"
Xia Dehai kicked him and said, "Fuck you! Who do you think you are? You are a sneaky person, but you are worthy of the word man. Damn you!"
The man didn't respond even after being scolded by Xia Dehai. If he continued to speak, he would be the one who was humiliated!
"Don't think that I don't know what you are doing. To tell you the truth, I have been keeping an eye on you from the moment you gang of pirates pretended to be traders and left the island. If you are wise, please explain your details quickly. When the time comes, I will I’ll give you a good time, hum, otherwise, believe it or not, I will make it impossible for you to live or die!”
The man was silent for a long time and looked at Xia Dehai who had taken out a short dagger. This kind of knife is used to kill fish. It has a more appropriate name - fish intestines! With one cut, the fish can be cut open clearly. The ruthless characters who make a living in the sea all have such a knife. It is just that it is not a burden when swimming, and it is extremely sharp when killing people!
The man finally showed fear when he saw the knife. Aren't the pirates afraid of death? No! Pirates are more afraid of death, because they usually kill others. When death comes to them, they recall that they usually kill others. This feeling is the most painful!
"I said! I will say anything, please let me go!"
