Great Song Pirate

Chapter 89 Potential opponents
Xu Yi made a total of two charts based on his memory. One is a large chart of the coast of China, and the other is a chart of Hangzhou Bay where their Dulong Island and Huangyu Island are located. After the initial completion, they posted it on the Juyi Hall On the wall, it is convenient for the important people on the island to watch. Jin Huo, Xue Tu, and Qian Laoben all gathered in front of the chart, looking at the names of the islands, routes, and towns marked on it, they couldn't help being amazed, and sighed Xu Yi It's really a strange person to draw such a neat and detailed sea chart from memory. You must know that the sea chart of the Song Dynasty is still in its infancy, and it is still in a very imperfect state. The two charts that are still accurate can be said to be another super-era product after Xu Yi created the ballista. How can these country bumpkins not be surprised?
Xu Yi was also not polite to them, and asked them to compare the islands in their memory with the map, and then take his "pencil" to modify and mark on the map one by one, trying to be as accurate as possible, and by the way, some The mileage on the route was also marked, and when it was basically completed, Jin Huo pointed to the chart of Hangzhou Bay and said with a smile: "A military division is a military division. This thing is not something that we rough people can make. After looking at this map, what? It’s all clear at a glance, with this thing, it will be much more convenient for us, with the boat on the sea and our ballista, isn’t it our Dulong Island who has the final say on the sea?”

Xue Tu and the others also smiled and nodded in agreement, but Xu Yi stopped their compliments and said: "Everyone happened to be here today. After going out this time, I thought about a lot of things, and I just wanted to discuss with you guys. Discussing this matter, although we have eaten the Yellow Fish Island, our strength has greatly increased, but we are not at ease. I don't know the forces in the nearby sea. I want to hear the opinion of Brother Xue first. Brother Xue has been at sea for the longest time. , I must know a lot of things here, please tell me about it, Brother Xue!"

Xue Tu thought for a while and said: "The military adviser has thought carefully, and now we are much stronger than before, but in this huge sea, we really may not be the most powerful. There are still a few forces near us that we have to guard against. Going north from Huangyu Island is the boundary of Zhao Tieshan. This man is also a big thief who has been operating at sea for many years. I'm afraid there are no fewer than 30. We used to be separated from them by Huangyu Island, so we didn't care much about them. Now it's different. Huangyu Island is ours, so there is no buffer in between. After returning to us, it is inevitable that he will be wary of us. I have never seen this Zhao Tieshan, but I have heard of it before. I am not very clear about his strength. As for the south of us, it is Jiang Desheng's territory. I am familiar with the person, and I have dealt with him a few times before. This Jiang Desheng Mingli is a sea merchant. In fact, he is just like us behind the scenes. He does business without capital. He now occupies many small islands in the Sanmen Bay area. Owns no less than a hundred ships of various colors, but most of them are cargo ships, and there are more than 4000 to 500 people under his command. Moreover, this person has always been cunning. It is said that he has been in collusion with the government. On the channel going south, ships from Zhejiang and Zhejiang must pass through the waters under his control. Anyone who goes on a boat must pay tribute to this guy, otherwise the boat will not be safe. In addition, the property obtained from robbery and freight transportation is many times more than that of our Dulong Island. It can be said that it is also the biggest threat to us. The other is the Zhoushan Navy. These sailors are not something we can afford Yes, there are more than 300 warships in the Liangzhe Road Water Battalion, including more than 100 sea falcon ships, more than [-] building ships, and [-] officers and soldiers. Three of them are stationed in the Zhoushan area. Let's say it is It occupies a fat place, but the threat we face is also the biggest in this area. Once we go too far and attract the attention of the court, the navy doesn't have to go all out, and just send dozens of warships here. It’s not something we can parry!” Xue Tu briefly introduced the surrounding situation.

Jin Huo has been at sea for these years, and he knows about these situations. After pondering for a while, he added: "Brother Xue is right. Apart from these, there are many islands off the coast of Zhejiang and Zhejiang, and there are hundreds of them with different names. In addition, there are probably no less than a thousand people without names. There are some people who eat our bowl of rice on many islands. The big ones have three or five boats, and the small ones are the same as I did back then, and there are also one or two boats. More than a dozen or twenty, as for Zhao Tieshan, I know that he is nothing to worry about. When the surnamed Pu was around, he was suppressed seriously. I guess he didn't dare to come easily after hearing that we got Huangyu Island Brush our beards. As for that Jiang Desheng, I agree with brother Xue. He is the most treacherous man. He is a businessman in the open, but behind his back he is doing black and white business. Back then when we were in Laohuyu Island , I was also deceived by this guy. Originally, our harvest was not good, but we couldn't sell the goods by ourselves. All the income had to go through Jiang Desheng's hands. After his low price, there was not much left of the small harvest. There were a few, but when we got here later, we didn’t have to be angry with Jiang Desheng any more, just thinking about this guy makes me angry!” Ganqing Jin Huo used to have such a sad time before!Although Xu Yi also stayed in Tiger Island, he never heard Tiger Jin talk about the past, so he probably felt really useless, so I'm sorry to mention it!
Wang Feng is straightforward. After hearing Jin Huhu's complaint, he immediately jumped up and quarreled: "I also know this Jiang Desheng. He really liked him a lot in Huhuyu Island. Now that we are powerful, if you want me to say, go find him and even talk to him." Let’s get it back with a profit. Now that we have such a powerful ballista, we are still afraid of him! The world is taking turns, so it’s time for us to vent our anger. Speaking of which, we have occupied a lot of water now. But I still shy away from working all day long, and I’m always unhappy, so why don’t we go and grab the territory of Jiang, and let’s be the boss for once!”

Qian Laoben reprimanded him with staring eyes: "You kid knows how to fight and kill, listen to what the military adviser says!"

Wang Feng had no choice but to step back, scratching his head, muttering: "Who are we afraid of now! Just beat the mother..."

Xu Yi lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then said: "Actually, what Brother Wang said is not bad, it's also good to repair him properly, but I think it's better to check his reality first and then do it, so it's safer!"
