On the East China Sea, islands are scattered like pearls.
Big Nose Island is inconspicuous among them.
If the fishermen hadn't reported it, the Navy wouldn't have known about this place.
According to the direction mentioned by the fisherman, the navy has already explored it once.
Dabi Island is located southeast of Xiangshan Mountain.
At the navy's speed, it would take about two or three hours to travel by sea.
In the northwest corner of Big Nose Island, there is a private harbor.
There are dozens of ships gathered among them, most of them are Zhuyin ships.
In the wooden building on the island, the leaders of more than ten groups of Japanese pirates gathered here.
"Hai" sounds come and go.
"cough!"
A young man walked in slowly, covered his mouth with a fan, and coughed lightly.
The scene immediately became quiet, and he smiled and said:
"Hello everyone, I am Saburo Abe."
Abesaburo is dressed in hunting clothes and holding a folding fan.
His face was painted white, with red lips and eyebrows, like a ghost.
It's Fujiwara's body in the spirit of chess.
By the way, Fujiwara and Abe both belong to the imperial family.
In other words, it means having the blood of the Japanese king.
When the Japanese pirate leaders saw Hunting Yi, they couldn't help but straighten their kneeling posture.
When they heard Abe's name again, they all lowered their heads to show respect.
Abesaburo walked to the very back and sat down unceremoniously before continuing:
"Today the heroes of Big Nose Island gather together. On behalf of the Abe family, I would like to say hello to everyone!"
His words were polite, but his eyes were full of disdain.
Although the words were kind, the tone also had a condescending tone.
If not for the family,
How can these ronin who are not qualified to be Abe's gatekeepers be in the same room with him?
However, Abesaburo also knows that he has come here in a derogatory manner.
It is to conquer these low-level wastes.
"I gathered you all here because I got news that the Wei Dynasty will send troops to conquer Big Nose Island."
Abesaburo smiles and feels like a spring breeze.
But he showed a mouth of black teeth, and his smile was uglier than a ghost.
"I think some of you here must know the news."
In today's Japanese country, the Ashikaga family, the generals who conquer barbarians, have the most momentum.
Deterring most of the Japanese country.
Although the Abe family is an imperial family, it has been in decline for many years.
Fortunately, after hooking up with the Jiangnan Zhen family in recent years, things have gradually improved.
This time I received news that the Wei Dynasty was going to send troops to suppress the Japanese.
The Abe family wanted to use this to integrate the Japanese pirates in the East China Sea.
Strengthen the power at sea in order to expand cooperation with the Zhen family.
To this end, Abe even sent a descendant with the right to inherit.
That is to say, the shrewd and capable Abe Saburo came to take charge of the overall situation.
"The purpose of my coming here today is to represent the Abe clan and lead everyone to resist the encirclement and suppression of the Wei Dynasty."
Speaking of this, Abe Saburo said with a sacred face:
"As a large family of the Japanese nation, we, the Abe clan, have the obligation to protect everyone."
He glanced at the entire audience with a patronizing tone.
"Those who are willing to participate can become Abe's samurai."
When all the Japanese pirate leaders heard this, they couldn't help but feel moved.
At this time, the Japanese state had not yet seen the trend of conquering the superior.
Being able to become a samurai of the Abe clan, even if only in name only.
For the Japanese pirate leaders, it was also a great honor.
They are all quite powerful Japanese pirates in the East China Sea, each with nearly a thousand men under their command.
But if you want to expand the scale, what you need is reputation support.
Or build a reputation, like Da Qiao Wulang.
It is a pity that Da Qiao Wulang died in Jinling.
Otherwise, just by virtue of the prestige of daring to attack Nanjing, he could become one of the most famous Japanese pirates in the East China Sea.
Or he has the title of a noble.
Like Inoue, he is probably a fake noble.
But he also easily usurped the remnants of Da Qiao Wulang.
What he relies on is the name of the Inoue family.
If these Japanese pirate leaders can become warriors of the Abe clan, let alone in the East China Sea.
Even if I return to Japan, I will wave the Abe family flag.
There may be many ronin willing to take refuge.
"Musashi Jiro is willing to follow Abe-sama!"
Musashi Jiro, the pirate leader of Big Nose Island, has already reached an agreement with Abe Saburo.
At this time, he was the first to jump out and ask for help, and someone followed immediately.
"Tanaka Ichiro is willing to follow you, sir!"
"My grandson's lost dog is willing to follow you!"
"..."
The Japanese pirate leaders responded one after another, but only two of them remained silent.
Abesaburo winked, and Musashijiro immediately understood.
He suddenly drew his sword and jumped over, killing the two unprepared people on the spot.
The other Japanese pirate leaders immediately drew their swords and faced each other, and the room was tense for a while.
Abesaburo, however, announced as if nothing was wrong:
"You have all made the right choice and are willing to follow me, Abe."
"Then let's get ready and wait for the fish to take the bait."
The Japanese pirate leaders looked at each other, obviously hesitant.
"This time we wipe out the Wei army. Not only will we get three thousand soldiers and armor, but we will also get dozens of warships!"
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Speaking of this, Abe Sanlang glanced at everyone and confidently announced:
"Coupled with your manpower, we will become one of the largest forces in the East China Sea!"
All the Japanese pirate leaders looked at each other, and then slowly took back their samurai swords.
They paid homage one after another.
Everything went as Saburo Abe thought, and he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
More than ten groups of Japanese pirates gathered on Big Nose Island and gathered tens of thousands of people, ready for an ambush.
The Ningbo Navy has also dispatched as planned.
The navy's ships vary in quality, including sand ships, fortune ships, Guangzhou ships, and bird ships.
If they all go out, the speed will be different, which will be inconvenient.
And in this operation, the main task of the Navy is to transport troops.
There is no need to go out in full force.
Therefore, Liu Zhao dispatched thirty-six lucky ships.
They calculated the time and set off at Hai hour.
In this way, when we wait to land on the island, it will be in the middle of the night.
It is the most relaxing moment for people.
More than thirty ships were sailing slowly on the dark sea, with only the leader at the front lighting a lamp.
Liu Zhao looked at the starry sky, feeling excited and uneasy, and couldn't sleep for a while.
He and Feng Yibo chatted for a while before gradually calming down.
The two of them just looked at the dark sea quietly.
Feng Yibo suddenly yawned and was about to take a nap in the cabin.
These days, he is newly married.
It is inevitable to be greedy for pleasure.
The You sisters also dared to mess around with him.
Occasionally, when the sky is bright and clear, Feng Yibo pays someone to take You Lao Niang shopping.
The three of them traveled together at home.
In terms of time management, it is extremely compact.
The sisters were reluctant to leave when they left, which made Feng Yibo almost late.
After talking to Liu Zhao, Feng Yibo returned to the cabin.
At the same time, I was still thinking about it.
If you fight fast enough, you can still catch up with breakfast when you get back.
The journey was uneventful.
Just after Chou, the lookout saw a dark island.
There are a few star-like lights on it.
The lucky boat at the front immediately extinguished the pilot light as planned.
Thirty-six lucky ships moved toward Big Nose Island in tacit agreement.
