Fish on the Hook
Chapter 912:Fish on the Hook
The wind and waves were high above the sea, and under the impetus of the high winds, a few high waves rushed forward, and then rushed to the edge of an island two or three hundred miles from the land, and patted it heavily on the rock that stood beside the island for thousands of years.In the roar, the jade end of the day, and quickly melted back into the blue sea and rolled up.
This wave also caused the sea around the island to tremble violently, and even the strange ships tied with thick cables on the edge of the island were constantly swinging up and down, and it seemed that it was possible to leave the island at any moment.
But in the end, these ships remained in place steadily, only hanging on the top of the mast black bottom, embroidered with a baboon, the small flag of the white skull was hunting in the wind, exuding a shocking inexhaustible killing.
But the ignorant bird, evidently unable to feel the murderous outburst of these ships, passed over the mast as soon as the wings widened, and then cooed and fell straight down.
The two birds quickly alarmed the inhabitants of the caves on the island, and several tall, taller than the ordinary man, had more than one head, with a blond hair, but the strange man with white in the skin echoed in red, and only a whistle to the bird, which stopped it above his arm.
These people wear clothes that are actually more strange than they look, and whether they are clothes or trousers, they are shorter than their body, so even in this deep autumn season, everyone still shows their legs and arms.But the more so, the more they showed their wild wildness, and even the bird did not dare to move any movement after it stopped on someone's arm.
The grey-black bird was a credit-grained dove, and the man who had borrowed it skillfully took a bamboo tube from his paw, and then used only them to understand the language: "For months, at last there is business on the door."
The other people's faces showed a smile of expectation and joy, and they rushed to look at the contents of the paper.The Chinese characters with clear handwriting on it were not something they could see, and in the eyes of everyone, there was no difference between this and ghost characters, and in the end, they could only hold the man to the hole.
Do not look at this side of the cave entrance is not very large, in fact, it is a big dry, covers an area of three or five acres, and in it is also divided into several small caves, like a courtyard in the room.When they saw them coming in, several people came out of some caves and asked them in the strange language, "Robenz, is there any news coming from the other side of the sea?"
The tallest man immediately nodded and smiled, “Yes, after waiting for more than a month, we can gain something again.”Just grab two or three more, enough to get us back to Rotterdam and trade gold for a duke!”
Hearing this, everyone in the cave gave a cheer, but the sound reverberated back and forth in the cave, but howled with the ghost, and the beast roared not much.And after answering the crowd, Robenz did not stop at his feet, went all the way, and finally came to the innermost cave, shouting: "Hey, look at what is written on this."
With this greeting, a Central Plains man who was much thinner than them had to step out and said it was actually the language of the other party: "Is there a letter from the land?"Take me to see.”With that, he took the letter, and looked carefully through the light of the torch in the cavern behind him.
After half-stun, he looked up: "Here are three more, the original route will have four large ships full of silk, tea and other items appear, when the time is enough to intercept, the things are ours!" 」
“Oh...” At what he said, all the strong men who came up cheered: “Great, this time there are more things than there are times before, and if we can take what’s in these four ships, we can return to Rotterdam in the wind and wind, and we don’t have to stay in this damn place!”
Robenz, who was cheering with the crowd, suddenly saw something wrong with the Han Chinese on the other side, and asked, "Why, what's wrong with this letter?"
"It should not be justified, although this sign is strange, but every time you write a letter, it is also reasonable to change people."I just think that the great Ming government's behavior this time is a bit strange, since there have been things happening in the sea, why do they actually carry so many goods out?Aren’t they afraid they’ll all be robbed?”
That’s a good explanation because they’re in a hurry.Continuous losses make them anxious to get back to the book.Only by venturing out to sea can we return as soon as possible.”Robbenz put his hand on it, and made a very disapproving judgment.
"But it is also possible that the Da Ming government has caught our people on the shore and deliberately used these ships to tempt you to attack so that you can take them all."He looked at each other cautiously, reminding each other.
“Do you really have that kind of mind?”If they had this, how could we have robbed us at sea more than twenty times?”The man on the side said disdainfully.
"Even if the officials of the Ming country could really think of this strategy, their army would be of no use at all, and if they were at sea, would they be the opponents of the invincible Black Pearl warriors who would span the whole of Europa?"Not to mention that there are only four ships, that is, forty ships will come again, and we will destroy them all under the leadership of the Black Pearl.”
“Well said.As far as you are a man of the nation, it is nothing.If it were not for the fact that there were fewer of us, we would have killed the land and conquered the rich cities such as Suzhou and Hangzhou, which you often mention in your mouth!”
The white men were full of disdain and bragging, and did not take the reminder of the other party to heart.Even the leader of Robbentz just smiled: "You know, even our motherland, the Netherlands, and the government forces of Portugal and Spain have been unable to take us, not to mention the officers and soldiers of a clear country in the district."As long as they dare to come, we will kill them.”
“Oh, kill them!Oh, take them away!”It seemed that the excitement was spoken, and the white men in the cave cried out in one voice, and blocked the words that the man of Ming had wanted to say completely, so that he could only be silent and no longer speak.
For a moment, looking at these arrogant fellows, he could not really destroy them all.But soon, reason pressed back against this strange thought, and he could only say, "I believe in your abilities, but you must be careful this time, for this time things are strange."
Robenz then placed his head: "We'll be ready for everything."Then he turned back again: "Everyone has sharpened the guy, and tomorrow morning we will leave, still in the original place, so that those yellow-skinned monkeys know that we are powerful!" 」
His words once again caused a burst of cheers from the crowd, as if the battle had long since ended and the goods had been taken by them all.

Suzhou City.
As early as two days ago, four ships equipped with a variety of water warfare weapons, and thousands of elite ships have left the port, at this time even if standing on the dock looking out, you can only see the empty blue sea.
But Lu Wei brought people here today, looked forward, and whispered, "I really wish I could annihilate the thieves in those four ships with the soldiers, and protect me from the Minghaijiang."
"Your excellency, are you now the Count of the Court, and can you be in a dangerous place?"After all, the wind and waves at sea are unpredictable, and there are unknown enemies in the side, and you naturally have to sit in Suzhou and wait for the news.The wise man quickly came to such a word as if he had come.
But Lu Wei laughed at it: "I thought that the official position was high, you can do what you want from the heart, but now it seems that I have some thoughts."The greater the officer, the less free he is.Now it is no longer even necessary to revisit the feeling of taking people to arrest prisoners in person.”
“Yes, sir, who are you talking about at sea?”Why would the crazy Li Tiezhu always say such strange things?”Tao Yong still could not let go of this, and now he subconsciously asked a question.
“This is bad to say.Perhaps it was the illusion that he was dying and dying in fear.Or...” Lu Yi’s heart moved and thought of the appearance of some people on the other side of the sea, which seemed to be somewhat similar to what Li Tiezhu said when he said it.However, when I think about it, I feel that this matter is really unreliable.
Because in his impression, the real emergence of the era of great navigation in Western countries will have to be decades, because his own history of China has actually produced a butterfly effect, but also changed the trajectory of some people in the West?
“Or what?”People asked curiously.
Lu Wei laughed, "Or as you did before, the dragon king brought the night fork, and the shrimp crabs ran to the sea and plundered them."
This also caused everyone to laugh, after knowing that there were white lotus people to pass the news, they had already been convinced that the sea was looted by people rather than ghosts, naturally it is impossible to think about this aspect.
But soon, everyone's smiles have converged, after all, the crisis at sea is unpredictable, and no one can guarantee that the thousands of officers and troops who go here will win a victory, or that the other side has not counted.In the end, everyone is full of expectation to look at the distant sea, but what the eye can see, but it is a calm...
