……

"Go straight along this waterway, and you don't have to worry about being spotted by Murakami's patrol boats. Of course, I don't think you will be afraid even if you encounter a small group of pirates. After all, you once wiped out hundreds of pirates in Toshima. People's achievements." Shanglong Komatsu stood on a small boat, and the tribute boat waved his hands, saying: "Bon voyage!"

"then!"

Bao'er, who was standing on the side, did not say goodbye to Shang Long, but threw him a small bronze medal!The bronze medal is made of bronze, not more than three inches in size. The word "Dongbao" is embossed on the front of the bronze medal, and the golden anchor logo of Dongbao Marine is on the back.

"This is Dongbao's token!" Bao'er shouted to Komatsu Shanglong: "When you encounter troubles that cannot be solved, use this token to find Dongbao's boat, and they will help you!"

"Thank you!"

Shang Long solemnly put the token in his arms, waved again to bid farewell to Bao'er and the others.

The tribute boat gradually accelerated, and when Shang Long's boat disappeared from Bao'er's sight, he turned around and suddenly saw Ryoma staring at him with the eyes he had acquired.

"What are you looking at? There are flowers on my face?"

"No, I'm just curious why you gave Xiaosong's family a token."

"Quantian angel investment." Bao'er said indifferently: "Shanglong is a sensible person in Xiaosong's family. Since he helped us, he can't let him die for nothing, right?"

"It's a pity that Komatsu Shanglong has more than enough vision, but his courage and determination as a warrior are much worse."

"Maybe this is life." Bao'er said with a smile: "The Xiaosong family is tough, and it is not a bad thing to have a younger son who is less courageous. I wish them all a safe and sound life in this increasingly chaotic world." Just survive. But..."

"But what?" Ryoma asked.

"I always feel that Komatsu Shanglong, especially the word 'Shanglong', seems to have been seen somewhere." Bao'er subconsciously scratched her hair and said, "But I just can't remember where I saw it!"

It took two days for the tribute boat to arrive at Shimonoseki Strait, which is a narrow waterway between Honshu and Kitakyushu, connecting the Sea of ​​Japan and the Seto Inland Sea.However, when the tribute ship was about to enter the Maguan Strait, it was stopped by other merchant ships stranded in the nearby waters.And Bao'er also noticed that this sea area has already been crowded with large and small sea boats, quite a scene of queuing up at the toll gate to leave the city during the National Day, or the kind without ETC.

"Why don't you leave?" On the tribute boat, the captain yelled towards a nearby sea boat that was also from Dameng.

"Don't dare to go! There is a big black ship blocking the way in the strait!"

Big black ship?Bao'er immediately thought of Dongbao's naval training ship "Unsatisfactory", so he turned on the communication system and asked Raphael:
"Did you block the Maguan Strait?"

Raphael: Wait there, I'll go find you right away!

A few minutes later, when the black ship with the Toho Marine Company logo appeared on the Seto Inland Sea, these merchants knew that the black ship belonged to Toho Marine Company.As a result, the group of merchants didn't feel scared immediately. After all, Dongbao Marine Merchant had gained a great reputation in the past few years.

Some maritime merchants who often do business with Dongbao will even curse a few times when they pass by Ruyi!

"You killers, if you had revealed your identity as Dongbao earlier, would we still be wasting time waiting at the mouth of the strait in fear?"

"You deserve it!" The second officer on the Ruyi pointed at the legend of Dongbao on the main mast and said, "Who told you not to get closer, you can see our flag flying when you get closer!"

"Who made your ship so big and the flag so small, who dares to step forward?"

"A five-foot-high flag is too small?" The second officer laughed and scolded, "Aren't you scared to death by the pirates from the Murakami family these days?"

"Nonsense!" Haishang also scolded: "Who in this sea area is not afraid of the Murakami navy? If you Dongbao are not afraid, go and destroy them!"

"Okay!"

The two ships headed in opposite directions, but the captain didn't react for a while after receiving the second officer's promise.

"Did Dongbao's people accept the mission to destroy the Murakami family just now?"

The sailor on the merchant ship replied in a daze, "I seem to have heard that he agreed!"

The tribute boat still stayed where it was, and Bao'er took advantage of the opportunity to jump on the black boat as it passed by, and it was the kind of jump that was a few feet away.

"Be careful when your boat passes through the sphere of influence of the island, they may fight you."

"Should they be careful, or should we be careful?" Rafael said, "They didn't dare to stop them when they passed through that sea area the first two times."

"That was in the past! Now the Toyoshima pirates have been wiped out jointly by Dongbao and the Ashikaga General's Mansion. This Liangzi has been tied to death. I'm afraid they can't help but do it!"

But Rafael said, "I wish they could do it."

After finishing speaking, Raphael ordered to tear off the tarpaulin on the open deck, and Bao'er discovered that there were 16 3-inch caliber artillery lined up on the side of the deck.

"Has the gun been loaded on the ship?"

"Where is this!" Raphael took Bao'er down to the bottom of the open deck, where the artillery deck is, and pointed to the dark artillery deck and said, "This is the 4-inch gun deck we saw at the beginning. There are 32 guns in total. There are more than 70 tons of guns on the two decks alone.” Then Raphael pointed to the bottom of the cabin and said, “There are still 30 tons of gunpowder and 40 tons of shells in there. Think we need to be afraid of the rabble who haven't even seen a hot weapon?"

"Heh...hehe..." Bao'er laughed dryly, "So you plan to forcibly break into Shimamura's territory?"

Raphael said proudly: "That's right, this ship is planning to forcibly break into the territory of all the Murakami navy in broad daylight! I want the pirates in the Seto Inland Sea to understand who is the master of this water overlord!"

"Clap clap clap!"

Baoer applauded hypocritically: "Okay, okay, come on! You are one step closer to being the overlord of the Seven Seas!"

After a brief meeting, the two boats parted ways and turned their backs.Bao'er and the others drove out of the strait and headed south all the way to Ningbo.The Ruyi raised its sails and sailed towards the waters ruled by the Kashima Murakami clan at a speed of up to 10 knots!

When the Ruyi ship with the Dongbao logo swaggered in the waters of the Yunyu Islands, as Baoer expected, almost the entire army of the Laidao Navy who spotted the big black ship was dispatched, and more than 200 soldiers were dispatched. The No. 3 man drove the three Guan ships and sailed towards the No. [-] Ruyi.

"Master Admiral!" the training captain on the Ruyi asked Raphael, "Should we wait for them to come into range and start shooting, or wait for them to approach before shooting?"

At this time, Raphael has completely lost the naughty appearance of laughing and playing with Bao'er, and has turned into an admiral of a fleet.He turned his head and glanced at the training captain, and said to him, "Now you are the captain, so how you want to fight is up to you." He did not forget to remind: "Call me after you win!"

The captain had the chance to win, and he didn't intend to give these backward pirates any chance, so he ordered decisively: "Boys, this is a mobile ship with real enemies. Do you still remember the norms and essentials of bombarding long-distance targets?" ?"

"Back to the captain, don't dare to forget!"

"Okay! It's time to test your artillery skills! Use them as moving targets and hit them!"

At this time, the watchman on the mast watchtower rang the alarm bell and shouted: "The enemy is about to enter the artillery range!"

On the deck, the chief mate who received the warning from the lookout immediately conveyed the news to the artillery deck, and demanded: "All personnel enter the combat sequence, lower half the sails and prepare for battle!"

With an order, more than 230 people on board immediately entered their respective combat positions. Nearly 150 gunners skillfully operated the artillery, and the gun windows on the side facing the enemy also opened.

The pirates who came to the island were still more than a mile away from the black ship, so they could only see the small windows opened on the black ship, but they didn't know what they were opening the windows for or why.But this group of fearless and ignorant people were extremely excited, because they found that the big black ship not far away had lowered its sails, and put on a look of letting them be slaughtered.

"Guys! The big black boat is too scared to move!"

"Wow! Dongbao's sea boat! Here is our chance to make a fortune!"

"After boarding the boat later, we must kill them all and avenge the brothers in Toshima!"

"Yes! Avenge the brothers of Toshima!"

If Bao'er was present, he would definitely lament the ignorant and fearless attitude of the pirates. Of course, Bao'er would lament that knowledge can indeed change people's destiny.

Different from the lively Lai Island sailors, apart from the sound of cables rubbing against rigging, the only sound left was the footsteps of the sailors running back and forth.All were holding their breath, preparing for their first battle as sailors.

At this time, the brothers on the watchtower suddenly shouted: "The enemy ship has entered the artillery range!"

"The enemy ship has entered artillery range!"

"The distance is 150 battles!"

"The distance is 150 battles! Adjust the muzzle angle!"

"Adjustments are complete!"

"Listen to my order, the cannons are numbered and fired in sequence!"

"Ready..."

"Fire!"

(The author's popular science, when sailing warships in the age of great voyages fired artillery salvos, they generally fired sequentially instead of simultaneously, because doing so would easily collapse the artillery deck...)
