Ancient promotion routine

The local people had long heard that Zhang Yanjin was going to lead the three Zhongzhou giant ships to Nanyang. Men, women and children came to both sides of the strait to watch. What's more, they came from other places to watch the historic moment.

There are also famous painters who came from afar, just to see the spectacular scene of Zhang Yanjin leading the Zhongzhou giant ship sailing with his own eyes, and painted this historic moment with his own brush.

Zhang Yanjin chose this time to travel, which he specially selected after asking the people along the coast.

The South China Sea has abundant rainfall, unstable clouds, frequent thunderstorms and turbulence.If affected by the typhoon, the rainy season will come, and the heavy rain will last for about 20 days, which will undoubtedly be a huge disaster for navigation.

However, according to the local people, the weather in the South China Sea is generally clear and breezy between October and December, and even before April, it is full of broken clouds and cumulus clouds. If they travel, even if they delay some time, their ships will not encounter major thunderstorms.

However, the weather during this period of time is not always stable, and there will be smog, but these are nothing compared to thunderstorms and heavy rains.

Sure enough, as he expected, the ship sailed for ten days without encountering any thunderstorms or rainstorms, except that there would be a faint mist in the morning.

However, there are compass guides and a large number of experienced sailors and captains. These are just minor problems for them. The clear South China Sea is always like a clear and transparent blue crystal. People can't help but want to fall into this beautiful scenery and forget the potential danger.

On the night when Zhang Yanjin and his party passed through the Gulf of Siam, four boats quietly moved out from the leeward side, and followed Zhang Yanjin and his boat like shadows. What was surprising was that the appearance of this boat was very similar to that of Zhang Yanjin and his boat .

"Erlang is not good. We seem to be followed by four ships. The shape of the ships is exactly the same as ours!" The crew reported to Zhang Yanjin in surprise, "Is it another ship dispatched by the imperial court?"

Zhang Yanjin walked out quickly, picked up the binoculars he made and looked over, and found four huge black shadows approaching quietly on the dark sea.

Although the South China Sea is pitch black at night, the visibility is very low.But Zhang Yanjin and the others have been sailing on the sea for a period of time, and they already have certain judgment and control over the sea situation, not to mention there are so many experienced sailors on board.

Zhang Yanjin's heart sank, and what he was most worried about appeared.

"Throw the flare up." In order to judge accurately, Zhang Yanjin ordered directly.

Seeing Zhang Yanjin's calm face, the crew did not panic at all, and calmed down a lot.

Whoosh whoosh!

Four or five flares were quickly thrown into the sky, piercing the dark sky like meteors, illuminating the entire sea surface, and the imitation ships following their Zhongzhou giant ship appeared like monsters hidden under the sea surface. in front of everyone.

Seeing that Zhang Yanjin's boat had spotted them, the four boats not only did not hide, but even speeded up, encircling them from all sides.

All of a sudden, the torches were lit on the seven ships, and the originally dark sea was full of reflected fire.

Countless iron claws quickly flew out from the four ships, and quickly and accurately hooked Zhang Yanjin's three ships, making them unable to leave. They could only watch helplessly as the four ships got closer and closer to them.

"It's a pirate!" Someone on Zhang Yanjin's ship yelled, and the exclamation was like a plague, quickly spreading on Zhang Yanjin's ship, making all the crew members terrified.

But Zhang Yanjin always stood with his hands behind his back, calmly watching the pirate ships getting closer and closer to him.

The leader was a foreign man with blond hair and blue eyes. He fixed his eyes firmly on Zhang Yanjin, who was in the center of the crowd, and shouted loudly: "We only need the goods and Zhang Yanjin, as long as we hand over Zhang Yanjin and the goods, I can give them to the rest of you." A ship, let you return to the voyage smoothly!"

Another blond man behind him also shouted: "You are all innocent people, you were forced by Zhang Yanjin to follow him to the sea, why bother to die for Zhang Yanjin?!"

Zhang Wuer stood in front of Zhang Yanjin, watching vigilantly the black-clothed and masked people who had started to build boards between the two boats.

But Zhang Yanjin grabbed Zhang Wuer's arm, pulled Zhang Wuer aside, and just quietly looked at the blond foreign man.

The foreign man was a little puzzled. He glanced back quickly, then turned his head and stared fiercely at the crew on Zhang Yanjin's side and said, "If you want to survive, you should retreat to the back. If anyone wants to save Zhang Yanjin, then Don't blame me for chopping you up!"

As soon as he said this, the crew all moved slowly to the back, only Zhang Wuer was still standing beside Zhang Yanjin.

The blond foreign man smiled triumphantly, straightened his back, and led several foreign men behind him onto the board between the two boats, walking towards Zhang Yanjin.

But just when he was about to jump onto Zhang Yanjin's boat, the hand behind Zhang Yanjin quickly stretched out, accompanied by a loud noise, the foreign man screamed, and fell to his knees on the board, thick blood gurgling down, stained red overboard.

The two or several foreign men behind him were also dumbfounded by the sudden loud noise and change. They didn't even care about the bleeding man, and quickly retreated to their own boat.

Zhang Yanjin moved his fingers, and the slender fire rod in his hand followed his fingers and returned to his palm. He whistled and said contemptuously: "I think you have been at sea for a long time, and your brains have been corroded by sea salt." Is it? It’s the first time I’ve seen you people who are so stupid and pure, God really has the virtue of living.”

As soon as Zhang Yanjin's words fell, a group of well-dressed people quickly ran out of the cabins of the three Zhongzhou giant ships. They all held a fire-strike stick in their hands, without exception.

All of a sudden, bang bang bangs sounded one after another, like the cry of a devil.The crew members of the four ships surrounding the Zhongzhou giant ship were terrified and wanted to flee quickly.

But it was too late, as long as they hung the iron hooks on Zhang Yanjin's boat, the seven boats were firmly connected together.

They could only watch helplessly as guns symbolizing death were continuously fired from the black hole of the long pole, tearing their ships riddled with holes and bursting with flames.

"We beg for mercy, we beg for mercy!" The crew members on the four ships collapsed under the fear of unpredictable death, knelt on the boats and shouted: "Please spare our lives! Please spare our lives!"

The people under Zhang Yanjin quickly adjusted, and the people with the fire rods in their hands quickly dispersed, leading the sailors across the board between the two ships, to the pirates' ship, and neatly tied up the sailors on their ship .

In fact, there were not many crew members on these four ships. They drove four ships. First, they wanted to trap Zhang Yanjin and the others to catch a turtle in a urn. Second, they coveted the goods on Zhang Yanjin's ship and drove four It is for loading goods.

They didn't expect that what they thought was catching a turtle in the urn turned into shooting themselves in the foot with a stone.

That's right, from the very beginning, Zhang Yanjin had been waiting for these pirates to come over.

Although Zhang Yanjin knew this, she didn't back down.That's why he secretly made a simple fire-strike rod, in order to be able to fight these pirates hiding in the vast sea.

If it weren't for the fire rod he secretly made to frighten these pirates, even if his boat was full of tide-manipulators he picked out, these people's natural fear of pirates and the agility of pirates wouldn't be enough. Will make it impossible for them to leave safely tonight.

These pirates not only wanted to rob him, but also wanted to kill him, so he made them think that when they were going to succeed, they would fall into the mud!

Looking at the chaotic ships opposite, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Really be careful sailing for thousands of years, the strength of these pirates should not be underestimated.He just built three giant Zhongzhou ships near the coast, and these pirates could quickly imitate them, and even made four ships in one go. The shipbuilding technology is probably even better than that of the Great Wei court. It seems that it is true It is easier to innovate under the trend of money desire.

Fortunately, he was careful when he made the fire rod, otherwise he would be the one who was tied up at this time and even lost his head.

"Erlang, as you expected, there are only a few blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners, and the rest are from our Great Wei Dynasty." After investigating the situation clearly, Zhang Wuer arranged for people to guard the pirates, and then ran quickly Come back and report to Zhang Yanjin.

Because the lights were too dark at night, it was not easy to untie several ships, and after experiencing such a storm, Zhang Yanjin asked Zhang Wuer to leave the crew guarding the pirates, and the rest of the crew to rest, and wait until daytime to discuss other matters.

The wounded foreigner pirate's thigh was injured by the gun shot by the fire rod. The doctor on the ship was woken up in the middle of the night. So he cut off the rotten cloth and rotten meat on it, pulled out the shrapnel, hurriedly sprinkled herbs to stop bleeding and anti-inflammation, wrapped it in gauze, and arranged for the medicine boy to boil some blood-promoting and anti-inflammatory herbs for the blond foreigner, He went back to sleep by himself.

During this period, the foreign man with blond hair and blue eyes was in so much pain that he was crying for his father and mother, like killing a pig. In the end, the crew guarding him couldn't bear it anymore. He grabbed a rag and stuffed it in his mouth. Calm was restored.
