Chapter 28 Pirates

Today I have a trial recommendation. Please give me a recommendation vote and reward. Wow, Kaka

The expedition team rushed to Shuangchengzi before the snow closed the mountain. However, the situation was still worse than expected, because Suifenhe was already frozen in the cold wind, and the large group of people could only continue to hike, even the boats at the ferry were discarded, and finally arrived in Vladivostok at the end of October.

After five months of construction, especially the members of Bahai, they have completely changed their appearance. The long trestle has penetrated into the harbor. Although the construction of the port is still a terrain, it is no longer completely defensive. The tall log fence and trenches filled with wooden signs have surrounded the warehouses, houses, and wells, and dry firewood is piled up like mountains, and the shelves are hung with salted fish and frozen meat.

"Old Song, I think about it and feel that you are the safest to stay." Li Mingxun walked into the wooden house made of logs, sat next to the stove, and said seriously.

Song Laoqi grinned and greeted Ma Donglai. Ma Donglai took out a booklet from his deer skin pocket. Song Laoqi placed it in front of Li Mingxun. With the light of fire, Li Mingxun looked at it. It was a list recorded by Song Laoqi in unfamiliar words and Suzhou codes. It contained the number of food stored and the list of people who needed to stay.

"Big shopkeeper, I have long thought that you have to keep me and have made preparations. Look, what else is missing from above. Hehe, this was formulated after I discussed with Bahai. The slutty man knew what the winter camp needed, and he was also thinking about getting more benefits from our trading company. He was as smart as a donkey." Song Laoqi rubbed his hands and said.

"I will leave you two more cannons in case of accidents. With this thing, it is enough to shock Qiliu to be charming." Li Mingxun said.

As he said that, Li Mingxun stood up and said solemnly: "Old Song, tell the brothers who stayed there that I will definitely come back before May next year. All the brothers who stayed in Vladivostok will have double their salary!"

"If it is the big shopkeeper, I, Song Laoqi, believe it! Don't delay the big shopkeeper. We are not familiar with this sea area. Now Binggada appears in the harbor. I guess it's better to leave early." Song Laoqi reminded.

Li Mingxun nodded slightly. He naturally knew that Vladivostok would have a 100-day ice season next year, so he would no longer delay. He ordered people to load and return to the ship. On that day, the soldiers carried the prisoners to ship, buckets of dried fruit, pickled seal meat, and bundles of dried vegetables were transported to the ship, stuffed with them, and the precious mink and ginseng were placed on the safest Tiger Shark. Pine nuts and pine resin became ballasts, while the Yongjin was stuffed with prisoners, armor and fur, and mountain goods.

After the three hundred recruited Qi Liemi soldiers boarded the ship, the two ships each fired three guns, anchored from Vladivostok port, and headed towards the southwest under the blow of the northeast wind.

This voyage was destined to be long and boring. When sailing to North Korea, both ships were filled with strange smells, rotten food, the vomit of the crew members and the stinky smell on the charming body of Qi Lie. Their daily life was almost unchanged. The crew worked in two shifts, and each time they slept for only two hours.

The rice is always dry noodles and dried salted seals, as well as soup made with bacon, fungus, and dried mushrooms. After dinner, it is work and training. The sailors must use Bible stones to clean the deck, repair the broken hull, repair the sails, and organize the cables. All sailors only have about one hour of free time every day, which is also a rare time of joy in the day.

Li Mingxun looked at the sand ship that was about to overturn a hundred steps away and immediately blew a whistle to prevent the grenade gunners and two cyclone guns from attacking.

"Let's go over and let them surrender. Those who dare to resist will shoot and kill them!" Li Mingxun immediately ordered.

In the thick smoke, the Tiger Shark sailed like a huge sea beast like a mountain pressing down on the top of Mount Tai. The huge hull crushed the smoked wooden boards and brought the floating corpses to the bottom of the ship. The battlefield was full of smoke and fire. The pirates screamed loudly. Someone saw the black muzzles and rows of clamps jumped into the sea in despair. All those who dared to threaten the Tiger Shark were shot and killed. The sound of explosions and the crackling sound of the burning flames filled the battlefield. The pirates had monsters spitting flames and iron balls in their eyes, the bitterness of sea water in their mouths, and the hearts were despair and timid.

Gao Feng took thirty people to board the lucky ship with the largest tonnage among the pirates. After cleaning it up, he tied up the pirates he could catch and held them in the lucky ship. Then he sent sailors to board four unsinkable pirate ships and controlled them.

"Big shopkeeper, those two big sand boats have flags and want to get on the boat to pay homage." An old sailor pointed to the sand boat parked in the distance and said carefully.

Before Li Mingxun answered, someone ran by Simmons and whispered a few words. Simmons said: "Your Excellency, Gao Feng sent people to say that these pirates were sent by a man named Gu Sanmazi, and the target they were hijacked was from Chongming Sand Boat Gang."

Li Mingxun thought for a while and said, "Simmons, the Tiger Shark is temporarily handed over to you. Keep a distance from the Yongjin and take care of the charming Spanish and Qilie on it. Don't let people see it. Go and tell them personally that I will meet them on the Yongjin!"

"Why?" Simmons looked surprised. In his eyes, the Tiger Shark won the victory in this naval battle. Naturally, he should enjoy the sweetness of the fruits of victory, including the most rewards and the thanks and praises for being rescued.

Li Mingxun said: "The Sha Chuan Gang has something to do with the Ming government. You should not show up, at least not now."

Simmons may not know, but Li Mingxun clearly remembers that the Chongming Sand Boat Gang is the ancestral property of Shen Tingyang's family. Because of his merits in shipping, Shen Tingyang is now serving as a doctor in the Ministry of Revenue and is currently receiving favors.

Half an hour later.

Under the leadership of the fleet manager, Shen Dachun arrived at the Yongjin Ship by boat. After boarding the Yongjin Ship, he saw the guards arranged on both sides. They were all wearing armor, holding Japanese knives, and carrying muskets on their shoulder straps. They were lined up in two neat teams. The bright silver armor and sharp weapons emitted dazzling light under the sunlight.

"Oh, he is such a bear and tiger!" Shen Dachun exclaimed sincerely in his heart.

At this time, Li Mingxun stood on the stairs of the stern building, and the shopkeeper bowed and asked, "I dare to ask the name of this sea master, Xu Changxing, the shopkeeper of the Shachuan Gang, this is my boss, Mr. Shen Dachun,."

"Tenglong Trading Company, Li Mingxun." Li Mingxun said with his fists.

Li Mingxun walked down the stairs, and Shen Dachun, who had a large number of talented talents, asked: "How dare you ask your brother, what are the names of Shen Tingyang, Wumei Gong?"
