"A ship is the Fu-1." A middle-aged man was half-kneeling under the steps, and a white-haired old man sat cross-legged in the house. He looked in his sixties, but his back was still straight. The old man fished through the window. The middle-aged man knelt at the steps to report the matter. He was very uncomfortable with kneeling, and there was a lot of gravel under his knees, but the middle-aged man did not even dare to show his uncomfortable expression.

This is a bay in the country of Chuqian, with ports and docks. There are not many ships, but they are obviously warships.

Many sailors and soldiers looked very casual in various robes. They walked back and forth on the beach, port, izakaya and boat, drinking and scolding. They all looked fierce and fierce, and they were all armed with weapons of all kinds, even when they were playing, they always held the hilt of their hands.

Their eyes were provocative, and their loose robes were covered with scars. Most of them had bronze skin, some were dressed by Wei people, some were dressed by natives from Southeast Asia, and some were bald Japanese people with hair buns.

"Fu No. 1?" The old man put away the fishing rod. Although he had no gains, he did not show any frustration. Obviously, fishing was a boring pastime for him. If he wanted, the group of men who looked fierce and walked with a knife would flock to the sea, jumped into the sea to catch the fish with bare hands, and then put it on the hook... as long as he wanted.

"Yes, Fu No. 1." The middle-aged man whispered: "It is about twenty-seven meters long, more than five meters wide, and more than two hundred tons. It is a medium-sized Fu Ship. This ship has been around for a long time, and it should be at least twenty or thirty years."

"The family background of Nan'an Marquis' Mansion is not very rich." The old man smiled, and the wrinkles on his face were all driven by his smile. He looked really kind-hearted.

The middle-aged man kneeling lowered his head. The man in front of him was one of the five major thieves on the sea. Even if he had a bottom line in his work like Wang Zhi, he was a pirate. He killed people and robbed people when he was young, and he didn't know how many lives he had in his hands. Even now, everyone's lives are all in his thoughts. In just one thought, it can make millions of people live or die. In terms of real power and power at sea, the Japanese general is far inferior to Kang Tianqi.

If Kang Tianqi is willing to attack the Japanese people's land at any time, the Japanese can only summon all Daming to resist. Even if they win on land, the navy who fights the Japanese people at sea will definitely not be Kang Tianqi's opponent.

In fact, the rise of the Five Thieves in Shanghai was also the decline of the Great Wei Navy.

Half a century ago, when the Donghu people put too much pressure on the Great Wei, the Great Wei could still bear millions of dollars in a year of Navy expenses.

At that time, the Great Wei navy had more than 100,000 people and more than 1,000 warships. It was the most powerful maritime force in many places along the coast of the Great Wei to the Lanfang Manstragata and Sanfoqi in Luzon, Japan.

At that time, the Japanese were very respectful and respectful to the Great Wei.

There are quite a few small groups of pirates, but when they see the flags of the Great Wei Navy appear on the sea level, the pirates will flee in sight.

The appearance of Wang Zhi, Kang Tianqi and others is inseparable from the decline of the Great Wei navy, one prospers and one wither, one prosper and one decline.

To this day, even if the Great Wei navy appeared again, if the five thieves joined forces, they would still be able to fight, and the pirates would still have the power to fight.

But the rise and fall are common. Now Yan Qi and Liu Dan are both declining. They are limited and can only kill chickens and get eggs to plunder, making their territory shrink more and more.

The money you can get is less and the loyal subordinates will become less and less.

Pirates exist in the form of fleets. Once the master's prestige declines, many pirate leaders will take their ships away.

During the process of recruiting, Wang Zhi left one-third of his subordinates, and more than half of them ran to Japan to join Kang Tianqi.

Many Wang Zhi's subordinates, like the leader, hope to live a stable life. This is the mentality of having already grabbed enough money and just wanting to retire and retire.

But there are also many who haven't grabbed it at all, and it may be that these people just want to live an unrestrained sea life.

Kang Tianqi has many sons and has been on many boats to train. Kang Mao is his eldest son. He has been at sea for nearly forty years and controls Kang Tianqi's most elite core subordinates. Therefore, Kang Tianqi does not have the retreat path and the problem of retirement like Wang Zhi. In Japan, Kang Tianqi, if there is a big name in the country, he will live as long as he needs. Only when he is old and cannot be in charge of the ministers will Kang Mao lead his subordinates and serve as a supporter for his father.

Therefore, Kang Tianqi understood Wang Zhi and cooperated with the other party to invite him. However, the Wei court and Kang Tianqi themselves understood that without obvious changes, he would never have attracted him. There was no such possibility.

"A little gentleman is here," the middle-aged man continued: "The surname is Chen Ming Daojian. We have inquired about this person. He is indeed a close servant next to Nan'an Hou and has always been with Nan'an Hou. This time he was sent to Japan to cooperate with the Oui clan to sell cotton cloth and raw silk from the Dongfan."

"Do they want to weave silk too?" Kang Tianqi's eyes showed an interesting look and said slowly: "This is good news... I know that Xu Zi is a very serious and meticulous little guy in his work. If he really raises silkworms and we have a good seller in the raw silk part."

The middle-aged man said respectfully: "But no one has been sent to contact us yet."

"It will come." Kang Tianqi smiled and said, "Nan'an Hou is an informed and tactful person. He can send people to the home for cotton cloth and come to me. Even if he doesn't give me all the raw silk, he will give me a considerable share. I won't eat them all. We must have a clear understanding of each other and can't do things too much."

There were still a few people in the house who chuckled when they heard this.

"I'm afraid it's not easy to talk about." The middle-aged man said boldly: "This time, the mantaya Ika Yousuf brought more than a hundred people to the country of Chuqian, saying that he wanted to negotiate a covenant with the Japanese. I see that he is arrogant and the Japanese are trying hard to flatter him..."

"There is no way." Kang Tianqi said: "Behind that Aika is Mantaojia. At least there are hundreds of ships and hundreds of soldiers. Behind them are Mughal and Tianfang Kingdom, and with Pu Xingfeng and others, the Japanese know that they can't afford to offend them."

"According to the villain's view of the Japanese, they were very fond of Tianfang and did not like to make friends with them. However, the people of Tianfang are becoming more and more powerful, and the villain is afraid that the Japanese will sooner or later turn to Tianfang and Pu Xingfeng."

"You don't understand." Kang Tianqi waved his hand and ordered the subordinate to retreat.

In a corner of the house, there were two big men sitting upright, one in his forties, with a similar appearance to Kang Tianqi, obviously Kang Maocai, while the other in his thirties, even though he was kneeling, he did not hide his courage. His face was covered with curly beards, and he looked very brave.

"The villain doesn't understand either." The man in his thirties said to Kang Tianqi: "Before he came here, the villain was worried that the Japanese would have recurrences. Manta Ka would have a winner in one or two years. Once Manta Ka conquered the Three Buddhas, the people of Tianfang would really come in. How will the countries deal with themselves? I am afraid that a series of them will fall down. At that time, Pu Xingfeng and Manta Ka people come together. What should we do? In terms of national strength, the Great Wei is of course far above Manta Ka, but it is slightly worse than Tianfang. There are also troubles of the Donghu people, and they cannot bet on the southern border troubles. If the people of Tianfang and Pu Xingfeng start to make the idea of ​​the southern Wei, what should we do?"

"We can't be with the people of Tianfang in the end." The man in his forties looked firm and said in a deep voice: "We will not help each other at that time, and we will settle in Japan."

"Will the people of Tianfang even attack the Great Wei?"

"That's absolutely impossible."

"Brother Maocai is determined, and I am impressed."

The person who spoke was Deng Qi. Of course, he came here on order. Wang Zhi and Kang Tianqi have always been in contact. Both sides had to negotiate with each other on many things.

Deng Qi did not think that the Tianfang people could take over the Great Wei, he would rather have a greater chance of being the Eastern Hu and Northern Captains.

After all, the Kingdom of Tianfang has to deal with crises in many directions. Although Tianfang has many allies, even servants, it is not its direct power.

In the Tianfang land, the power of the Caliph is not consolidated. The Turks are emerging forces in their territory that surpass the Tianfang people. It is common for bullying the Caliph or even more likely to be more likely to be caliphs.

In Tianfang, there have been many large-scale civil wars, from white to black to green, and then to green, and its national strength has been declining.

In addition, facing attacks from the Taixi countries, the power of its country was quite scattered. After Mantaga was taken down, its national strength did not increase much. With more than 100,000 people and Pu Xingfeng, at most it would harass the south of the Great Wei. If you want to attack the north, you have to ask whether the Million-Fang Army and the Sixty-Finn Army of the Great Wei can agree.

"You don't know much about the Japanese habits." Kang Tianqi said slowly: "Whoever shows his strength to truly destroy his country will truly obey you. No matter how strong the Tianfang people are, as long as they do not have the ability to destroy his country, the Japanese will not really obey him and respect him. What the Japanese are really afraid and vigilant is Pu Xingfeng. In this matter, they have to look at our thoughts, so they will hang the Tianfang people and wait for us to make it clear between us and the Tianfang people... Nan'an Hou Mansion is a disturbing capital in this matter, and this matter is not something they can participate in after all."

Kang Tianqi was a thief who was traitor across the seven seas. With a few words, he could clearly analyze the things in front of him. When everyone heard it, they knew that the old pirate leader was right at all.

The room fell into silence for a moment, and some words were inconvenient to say to Wang Zhi's confidant Deng Qi.

He met and joined Pu Xingfeng, Liu Dan, Yan Qi, and Wang Zhi. These five thieves had met and met and divided the territory, but they all understood in their hearts that two of the five thieves were from the Great Wei, Kang Tianqi and Wang Zhi. Yan Qi was a Luzonian, and was said to have Han ancestry, but his way of thinking and daily interactions were mostly from the Luzonians and indigenous peoples of Southeast Asian countries, and they were not very close to the Wei people.

Liu Dan is a mixed race between Luzon and Siam, and often lives in Luzon, and has joined forces with Yan Qi.

Pu Xingfeng is a complete Tianfang man, with deep eyes and high noses, green eyes, tall figure and fair skin. In terms of race, Tianfang man and Taixi man are indeed one race, and there is not much difference between the two sides.

Among the pirate kings born in the Wei people, Kang Tianqi and Wang Zhi had similar styles. Although they were inevitably brave and fierce in their early years, burning, killing, looting, but when their power was formed, they were more monopolizing business roads and imposing maritime trade taxes to maintain a huge fleet.

Liu Dan, Yan Qi and Pu Xingfeng were more willing to rob directly. Among them, Pu Xingfeng did his own business, Yan Qi and Liu Dan had the least power, and they were declining in recent years, so the two simply formed an alliance to cooperate.

The two powerful people are confrontation between Kang Tianqi and Pu Xingfeng. Kang Tianqi's direct subordinates and the forces in Japan can also gather an army of 100,000 people, which is almost the same as the forces of Pu Xingfeng in Mantaga.

One of them believes in the Buddha Lord and the other is a Tianfang scholar. They have cooperated with each other, and more of them are potential confrontations.
