In the small jungle on the left side of the village, Zhu Jun brought more than 20 blacksmiths led by Chen Sanxi and Li Tieda. The stonemason cleared a clearing of the open space. He had to build a small blast furnace first. This kind of earth-making steelmaking is very simple. After three hundred years, even ordinary farmers can carry hoes. Although technology is backward now, these blacksmiths are all good at iron making. Zhu Jun is confident that the steel refined is better than the steel refined during the Great Leap Forward.

First, we need to build a small blast furnace with clay and bricks. This process is very simple and is a masterpiece of the stonemasons. The clay was purchased from the maritime merchants in Tuwa City. Zhu Jun spent 20 taels of silver, and the remaining materials were available. Under Zhu Jun's command, the stonemasons first built the prototype of the blast furnace with rocks. After some improvement, the shape of the blast furnace was designed by Zhu Jun as a curved bottle. The neck mouth could only accommodate the diameter of two thighs. The belly of the blast furnace was bloated and scary. After everything was ready, the stonemasons began to slowly apply clay to every recess of the rock to achieve the effect of blast furnace sealing.

An emperor was urging me around, and everyone worked very hard. Whether it was a stonemason or a blacksmith, he could enter Burma with Emperor Yongli. His skills were naturally almost the same. Everyone had a set of skills. In the past morning, the blast furnace was formed. Zhu Jun asked someone to dig a ditch in the stream at the entrance of the village to attract water. After all, the demand for water for steelmaking is very large, and with this ditch, it can barely be supplied.

Everyone was very energetic, and at this time they saw Zhang Youde running over in panic. He saw Zhu Jun from a distance and ran to Zhu Jun. He still had the same kneeling etiquette: "Long live my emperor."

"Emperor, something big happened. Some pirates are going to sneak attack us to steal property. I just caught a spy who pirates. Hu Qianhu of the Jinyiwei is being tried. Mr. Mu asks the emperor to make a decision in the future." Zhang Youdedao.

Zhu Jun frowned. It was the first time he encountered such an emergency. He felt a little panicked and reluctantly looked calm and said, "What are you doing in this small matter? Come and see me."

When Zhu Jun arrived at a hut, he found that the interrogation scene was completely different from the one he imagined. Mu Tianbo sat on a small stool, with several Jinyiwei standing beside him, while the so-called pirate was half lying on the only wooden bed in the hut. His skin was soaked in water and turned white and swollen. Some places were severely ulcerated. When Zhu Jun came in, everyone stood up and knelt to greet him. Only the pirate was still breathing the air in a breath.

"Your Majesty, this man was washed up to the beach by the sea water. He happened to be discovered by the patrol soldiers. At first he thought he was just a good man who fell into the water in the sea. Later, he found that his arm was embroidered with the embroidery patterns of a sea snake, so I decided to take him down and interrogate him." Mu Tianbo introduced the cause and effect from the side.

In ancient times, ordinary good people did not know how to embroidery, and this kind of embroidery was only popular among pirates. Mu Tianbo used this to suspect that this person was a pirate and was not groundless.

Zhu Jun nodded and said to the pirate: "What's your name? What's your origin? Let me explain it clearly. If there is a little false statement, don't blame me for being polite." He really lacked experience in this area. He originally wanted to make some pepper water, tiger benches and other things to scare him, but when he saw the angry pirate, he immediately gave up his thoughts. He only had half his life, so don't scare this guy to death, otherwise he wouldn't get any information out of it, and it would be worth the loss.

Zhu Jun felt a little disappointed. He was not a person who advocated violence in his previous life, but when he arrived here, he longed for that kind of violence and the desire for power in his heart showed the darkest side of his heart, but this darkness was still hidden in the deepest part of his heart.

"The villain's surname is Liu, and those who do the boat gang business are called Liu Er. The villain is the helm of the One-Eyed Dragon." Liu Er replied very quickly, without any effort, he knew everything and said everything.

"As soon as you moved to Tuwa City, Tuwa City's eyeliner informed the boss. They said that some of you were the Emperor of the Celestial Empire, and brought dozens of boxes of jewelry and silver. When the boss heard this, he immediately set up a line with several groups of pirates on Jiulong Island. This was impossible. I heard that you had thousands of guards, so the boss did not dare to take it alone. He summoned six and seven groups of pirates to take action together."

Liu Er said this in one breath, took a few breaths. An old Jinyiwei reluctantly fed some water before he returned some strength.

"How many of you have and when will you do it?" Zhu Jun asked him.

"There are more than 900 people together, but the time to start the attack is not certain. It can be as fast as a month or as slow as three months. Because you have a large number of people, several pirates and leaders agreed to run at night."

There was still time to prepare, and Zhu Jun secretly thanked, but Liu Er was really suspicious. There was no reason to confess urgently before he was beaten. Perhaps there was a fraud. On the issue of life and death, Zhu Jun did not dare to be careless and snorted coldly: "Since you have contacted each other, why don't you do it quickly? Don't you, the head of the family, know the reason why there are many dreams?"

Liu Er said: "I don't know that you are a big fish. I'm just a newcomer. The boss doesn't know your background. How can you do it easily? This time, the boss came to step on the plate. When the time is right, he appointed a small minion to send a poster letter. He and several sea villages on Jiulong Island should work together at night to ensure that they are safe. If I guess correctly, they have already been infiltrated now. If the noble man doesn't believe it, he can summon everyone and naturally he can pull them out."

Zhu Jun had already believed him a little, and Zhang Youde, who was beside him, shouted: "You little thief, you go out and recognize people. If someone really dares to sneak in, I will peel them off."

"Go and go, but they are all desperate people. The general needs to bring more people, otherwise they will inevitably miss the net." Liu Er's strength from somewhere staggered and sat up, with a trace of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

"Let's go!" Zhu Jun stopped him: "You are also a pirate, why should you help us kill your brother?"

This is the issue that Zhu Jun is most concerned about. If Liu Er cannot justify himself, how can Zhu Jun trust him? Maybe this is simply a pirate's trick.

Liu Er gritted his teeth and said, "I came to step on the plate with the boss. Who knew that when I encountered a storm the day before yesterday, I happened to have a cold attack. The boss didn't think about it. I was born and died and followed him for so many years. I raised the knife and wanted my life. Fortunately, I, Liu Er, still had some strength to let me escape by chance. But my family is still on the island. If the boss returns to the island this time, how can he spare my family? The villain is just asking for peace."

Zhu Jun nodded, and had already believed it by nine points. He pondered for a while, exchanged glances with Mu Tianbo standing beside him, and said to Liu Er: "Describe your boss' appearance to Commander Zhang, I will let him go out to recognize people. If what you said is true, I will keep your family safe."

Liu Er explained his one-eyed body shape carefully to Zhang Youde. Zhang Youde nodded and then stepped back. After waiting for half an hour, Zhang Youde came in and reported to Zhu Jun: "I found that person at the end. There are seven or eight servants near him who are dressed up as ordinary merchants and sell alcohol in the village. Emperor, will you go and ask someone?"

"No, don't be alerted first. Come on, let Liu Er rest here and take good care of him. Zhang Aiqing, send some people to stare at the pirate leader and don't let them notice it. No one is allowed to spread this matter. If I hear any rumors, don't blame me for being cruel." Zhu Jun raised his eyebrows, his eyes flashed with murderous intent. The world always follows the laws of the jungle, either you die or I live. Since that's the case, Zhu Jun would not help but let his hands be stained with blood.

"The emperor also missed it." Mu Tianbo stood up and said, "Commander Zhang, go and organize the army and horses in the camp into a group of 200 people, and protect the emperor day and night. There should be no difference."

Zhang Youde wrote down one by one and responded: "As for your order."

After leaving the hut, Zhu Jun took a deep breath. He never felt the danger was as close to him. It was like a bloody single-player game in his previous life. The system gave you a knife. Before passing the game, you must kill all visible and invisible enemies, and you cannot relax or stop.

The same is true for Zhu Jun. He wants to eliminate the pirates who threaten him, get rid of Wang Mangbai, who usurped the Burmese throne in the future, and fight with the Qing Dynasty. If he is kind-hearted, then he will be killed. The game will never stop and he must not have any slack thoughts, because a slight flaw will make him doomed.

Zhu Jun swept around with his hands behind his back. Many people dragged green bamboos several meters long from outside the village from the open space outside the village. A carpenter used a saw to cut the green bamboos neatly into two meters long. Some people took a hoe to dig out a three-foot-deep foundation. In the distance, smoke from the cooking stove was vaguely released and gradually dissipated in the air. It was women preparing lunch.

Mu Tianbo, who was behind him, rushed up and looked at Zhu Jun for a long time before saying, "Master, are you planning to set up a long line and catch a big fish?"

"That's right!" Zhu Jun smiled calmly: "Instead of letting these pirates think about it, it's better to lure them out and catch them all. Maybe we can leave some big ships to carry cargo for me. I heard that silk and ceramics are highly sought after by scholars and wealthy businessmen in Siam, Laos, Sulu, Luzon and other countries. If we can have ships for long-distance voyages, we can make some silk and ceramics and sell them there, and make a profit of at least ten times more. With these funds, we can recruit Han people who take refuge in the South China Sea to settle here and expand our army. Not to mention the revival of the Ming Dynasty, there is always hope for self-protection."

Zhu Jun seemed to see a bright future, saying that he was a modern person and knew the benefits of ocean trade. Moreover, since the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the number of Han people in exile overseas has increased day by day. At least millions of people have gathered on the land of Nanyang and distributed in various countries. This is Zhu Jun’s future reliance. With them, Zhu Jun has hope.
