Great Song Pirate

Chapter 79

Xu Yi went to sea this time on a warship obtained from Huangyu Island. Although this warship was not as good as the Zhenhai, it was much more magnificent than the Zhenyuan. The ship is more than 60 meters long and nine meters wide. The ship is divided into three layers, with four main masts and two auxiliary masts on both sides of the ship. The auxiliary sail is estimated to have a displacement of about 200 tons. The ship can accommodate [-] sailors. It is one of the best ships on the island. It can be said that Xu Yi chose it as his own ship. It can be said that the ship is named Weiyuan. Wang Feng’s new Shark, also a clipper, was with him, but it was much bigger than his previous water plane. It was a three-masted clipper. Wang Feng liked the name Shark. , he insisted on calling his ship the Shark, and the other was Liu Laoliu's sea falcon ship. The three ships sailed out of Dulong Island. Next, drive all the way towards Huangyu Island.

Xu Yi knew that the compass had just come into practical use in this era, but he didn't expect that the Koryo people's boats had this thing, and it was even more advanced than their previous Dulong Island boats. It was probably also obtained from the Song Dynasty's boats. Things, this is already a pretty good nautical compass, with a compass of 24 cm. With this thing, navigation becomes much more convenient. You don’t have to rely entirely on the sun or stars to determine your course. When the weather is bad, The role is even greater. No wonder it is said in history that the technology of the Song Dynasty can be said to be the peak era of China's technological development, and some people even call the Song Dynasty the era of China's Renaissance. The nautical compass greatly expanded the development of the maritime shipping industry. At the same time, it also greatly expanded the pace of the pirates. Coupled with the absolute leadership of ancient Chinese shipbuilding, the application of sails is at least 500 years ahead of Europe. The sails of the Song Dynasty can already adjust the wind position of the sails. When sailing, the sailors on the ship said, "the wind has eight sides, but head-on is not enough!" It means that sails can be used to provide power in other directions except completely against the wind. If such achievements are placed in Europe, at least they have to go to It was only in the [-]th century. Xu Yi couldn't help but sigh that the ingenuity of the ancestors was really great, and he began to feel a little lucky to come to this era to experience it for himself.

Xu Yi plans to go to Huangyu Island to meet Jin Huo first, and then go east from Huangyu Island to the small island where Japanese pirates are entrenched. This is the second time to go to Huangyu Island, and there are many people on board who are from Huangyu Island. The old part, coupled with the fast sailing of the boat with the wind, only took three and a half days of the original five-day trip to see the shadow of Huangyu Island in the distance.

When the boat stopped, Xu Yi got off the boat and went to meet Jin Huo. I haven't seen him for a few days, and I really miss this old man. Jin Huo was very happy to see Xu Yi coming. The boy Xu kept barking. , The big hands kept patting Xu Yi's shoulders. Fortunately, Xu Yi's kung fu is relatively solid now, otherwise he would not be able to stand such a patting!
The water cat also came to greet him, Xu Yi and him greeted each other, and everyone returned to the village. The family members in the village have all moved out now, and there are only about [-] brothers left here. Afterwards, Tiger Jin and the others chatted while drinking.

"I know about Qian Laoben and the others. You have a good brain. You can guess that they went to Tiger Island to take shelter from the wind. It saves us a lot of trouble. I have only been here for a few days and I am planning to return to Dulong. Go to the island, you kid came here, do you miss me, an old guy?" Jin Huo laughed and teased Xu Yi, and the water cat also laughed.

"Of course, I haven't seen the head of the family for a long time, and many of our brothers are thinking of you! Yingchun has been talking about you a lot! Hehe!" Xu Yi replied.

"Is that girl not angry with me? The last time you were stabbed by Jiao Meng, Yingchun almost ripped off my beard. Maybe you want to teach me a lesson again! Haha!" Jin Tiger is very happy.

"It doesn't matter if I don't mention that matter, it's all because of my own carelessness, and I can't blame you! This time I came here mainly to get rid of the nest of the Japanese who harassed Huangyu Island a while ago. I don't know if the boss can agree. That's why I made a special trip to ask for instructions!" Xu Yi brought the topic back to the main topic.

"Well! If you don't say it, I will forget about this matter, and these grandchildren haven't cleaned up. That's fine. Now we basically have nothing to do. It's not an option to keep resting like this. It's time to go for a walk. You just go and clean up those Japanese people. I heard the water cat said about it. We can’t let a bunch of outsiders stay behind us. This time, you might as well go farther and take the water cat with you. You can’t grow old. Let others bully us, and we should bully others too. Aren’t the Fusang people fierce? You can vote for him and let them know how powerful we Song people are. You should practice more!" Jin Huo nodded and said.

Jin Huo's words made Xu Yi's heart move suddenly. At the beginning, he only thought about cleaning up the lairs of these Japanese pirates. Except for the Yuan Dynasty, which once made an expedition to Japan, other dynasties have always been plagued by Japanese pirates. Since he has come to this era and has also engaged in the pirate business, why doesn't he take this opportunity to express his anger?Ha ha!Xu Yi slapped his thigh fiercely, startled a few people and said, "Why didn't I think of it? Why do we insist on robbing our Song people's boat? What my father-in-law said is that we might as well make it bigger this time and go to Fusang It's good to wander around!"

It was rare for them to see Xu Yi so excited, and they all laughed, and their interest couldn't help but also increased.

As soon as he said it, Xu Yi immediately called the two people who often travel to and from Dasong and Fusang merchants. After the two came over, they hurriedly greeted everyone, and stood down in a proper manner. Xu Yi asked them to give them two stools , sat down and asked them: "Did you often travel between Fusang and Dasong?"

"Master Military Adviser, we used to do some small businesses, and we had to go back and forth two or three times a year to transport some tea, porcelain, cloth and other things to sell, but we could also make a little money!" The two hurriedly answer.

"Well! Then where do you usually go to Fusang? Are there many merchant ships in Fusang?" Xu Yi continued to ask, he didn't know anything about the situation in Japan in the Song Dynasty.

"Reporting to the military commander, the little ones usually go to a place called Kagoshima on the island of Kyushu, and sometimes go to a place called Kumamoto to do business. Fusang people also go to sea in these two places. , They even use our Da Song coins, so there are quite a lot of ships coming and going!" said one person.

Xu Yi nodded and thought about it. It can be said that Japan is still in the era of warlords, and they are always fighting with each other. Although there are some naval forces, they are not at the same level as the naval forces of the Song Dynasty. They are rich in gold and silver. Many of their daily necessities come from the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty is now fighting against the Liao Kingdom. In the near future, they will also face the large-scale invasion of the Jin Kingdom. As a Chinese, they are always going to rob He always felt a little uncomfortable with the ships of the Song Dynasty, not to mention that the Navy of the Song Dynasty was definitely not someone they could provoke now. It would be a good thing if they could attract the attention of pirates like them to Fusang, but it was just The journey is a bit far away, but if you think about it carefully, those Japanese pirates can go to the waters of the Song Dynasty to rob with a broken boat. They are all big boats now, why don't they dare to wander around there?
