I have to say that these former Zheng Jun shipwrecks who were taken from Taiwan to Luzon by Xiao Wu were indeed experienced.

When Xu Ming proposed to build a big bird boat, everyone was confident and started construction one after another.

Several medium-sized merchant ships that were originally being built on the dock were immediately renovated.

These merchant ships were basically in a state of stagnation because the shipyard vigorously built two armed merchant ships and occupied too many shipcraft workers.

Now Xu Ming and a group of shipwrecks arrived, he made up for the shortage of shipwrecks in the shipyard.

Several merchant ships with only keels that have not yet built superstructures began to be renovated.

The ship craftsmen and workers were so familiar with the big bird boats. The Qing Zheng navy also equipped hundreds of big bird boats. Whether it was building or repairing the ships, these ship craftsmen had already practiced it to make perfect.

On the nearby dock, the ship craftsmen of Weigan were also working overtime to build two armed merchant ships.

Ming ship craftsmen did not understand how to build Western-style armed merchant ships, but these Weigan ship craftsmen often repaired or even built ships for the Spanish merchant fleet, and were naturally familiar with the construction of armed merchant ships.

It would be appropriate to let them build their own specialty ships.

…………………………………………………

On the rugged sea level, a three-masted merchant ship was sailing slowly.

The bright yellow canvas was whistled by the strong wind.

A group of seabirds hovered over the ship, and with a sharp chirping, the birds fled in shock.

On the mast, a sailor was whistling desperately.

"Ship, four, southeastward." He shouted toward the deck.

With the shouts of sailors on the lookout post, the deck was suddenly filled with chaos.

Several small dots appeared on the sea in the distance, drifting with the flow and getting closer.

They were several whistleboats, and they were slowly approaching the merchant ship.

"What a good day today? A big ship was sent to our doorstep without knowing how to live or die." A pirate leader sneered on a whistle boat.

"Head, Weigan's ships are getting fewer and fewer than these days. Many brothers have not seen a merchant ship coming out of Weigan for more than half a month. The ship has fallen down and has not taken the normal channel and is directly attached to our doorstep." A pirate looked around and felt something was wrong.

"It's indeed a bit strange. I'll let the brothers who boarded the ship be smart and turn them off."

The pirate leader looked cold and fierce. His whistleboat was getting closer and closer to the merchant ship, but the big ship in front of him was still sailing slowly without any intention of avoiding.

"What's wrong, this ship seems to be heading towards our island." The pirate leader noticed a clue.

"Quickly, let the brothers take oars and chase after me." The pirate leader shouted.

It was obvious that the pirates on several ships noticed something was wrong and rushed towards the merchant ship with all their might.

The pirate leader stood on the boat and stared at the merchant ship in front of him. As the distance narrowed, his heart gradually relaxed.

The big ship opposite did not rise up without black smoke, proving that the other party did not set off firecrackers. Then the only possibility is that the ship opposite was just a large merchant ship without protection.

Although I didn't know why the merchant ship was heading towards its island without any intention of setting off firecrackers.

The pirates on several whistleboats also breathed a sigh of relief, but the oars were not afraid to stop at all, and they still quickly shook the wooden oars and approached the merchant ship.

Soon several whistle ships were attached to the side of the merchant ship.

Several long iron hooks were thrown onto the side of the ship.

More than a dozen pirates crawled up with practice by biting their swords.

The pirate leader took the lead and jumped onto the deck first.

When the ship approached the big ship and the big ship did not fire a cannon to stop it, he gave up the idea of ​​preparing artillery.

But his years of robbery at sea made him develop an intuitive keenness.

He held the steel knife and jumped onto the ship's side with a wide eyes.

More than a dozen good men jumped onto the side of the ship with him.

What the pirate leader did not expect was that there was no ambush on the ship deck.

More than a dozen sailors were kneeling on the deck tremblingly, shouting to spare their lives.

This surprised these good players.

"Haha, I haven't had any oil for more than half a month. This time, I actually gave me a big fish." The pirate leader laughed loudly.

A bright steel knife was pressed against a sailor's neck and said coldly: "Who is your ship owner?"

"It's me," suddenly a person stood up in the kneeling crowd.

The man walked over tremblingly, and looked at the pirate leader holding the knife and couldn't help but tremble.

"I dare to ask that the heroes on the sea are from the Yulong Gang." The ship owner said.

The pirate leader nodded undeniably. He was not very bloodthirsty, at least he didn't want to kill anyone before he finished asking.

"To be honest, this ship belongs to the Sihai Commercial Bank. It was entrusted by the Ming army to go to Shuangdao to meet the leader of the Yulong Gang." The wealthy businessman who looked like a Han man spoke.

"Oh, Mingren." The pirate leader was a little surprised.

These days, both the merchant ships from Weigan, from the Chamber of Commerce and the Chinese merchants have been robbed by Yulong.

Even the Yulong Gang attacked the port of Weigan, which can be said to have completely broken up with the Ming people.

However, at this time, the Ming people actually wanted to meet the leader of the Yulong Gang, what did these Ming people want to do?

The pirate leader put the blade on the owner's neck again.

Suddenly a wisp of red blood flowed down.

“What are you transported on the ship?”

The ship owner calmed down and whispered: "Silver."

Two islands, an unknown small island.

The island is not large in size, but it has a large gap in the south that almost divides the island into two petals, hence the name Double Island.

Since the pirates fought a war with the Spaniards in Lavague, many pirates felt that the deal was not cost-effective and took it away one after another.

The leader is the Yulong Gang.

These pirates and the Spaniards did not work hard in the naval battle, and they quickly withdrew before being defeated, so there was no big loss.

Under the persuasion of the second leader of the Yulong Gang, the Yulong Gang also came to Weigan. While other pirate forces were still besieging Lavag, they unscrupulously plundered Weigan merchant ships.

The inconspicuous island of Shuangdao was selected by the Yulong Gang because it was located near the Weigan merchant ship navigation channel and the island had tamsui.

At this moment, hundreds of pirates from more than 20 ships of the Yulong Gang were entrenched on this small island.

Several whistle boats were heading towards the island with a large sailboat.

The pirates on the island soon discovered the fleet.

When I saw several whistle boats next to the sailing boat slowly heading towards the island,

The pirates on the island suddenly burst into earth-shaking cheers.

After all, the Ming army ordered the Weigan ships to be strictly prohibited from going to sea.

There are fewer and fewer sailboats on the sea.

Pirates who often appear on the sea can only encounter some fishing boats on the sea that are not afraid of death and come out to fish.

These shabby and dying broken boats could not catch a few copper plates.
