In the western part of the Yaeyama Islands, Abu, the captain of the fishery production brigade, took his ten fishing boats to the sea area where they were operating as early as possible to collect ground traps.

After Dong Liang arrived, he brought many new fishing tools to local fishermen, and also brought about revolutionary changes in their fishing methods.

Of course, the efficiency of fishing is gradually improving.

The excess fish will be sent to the drying workshop for drying treatment, which is much more efficient than the previous drying method. Salted fish is the main source of protein for the islanders and the guards.

Abu and his friends have been fishing here for many years and know where the fishing grounds are. They have their own fixed operating area.

There is more than one fishing brigade, and each brigade has its own scope of operations.

At the same time, this is also their alert patrol area.

"Uncle Abu, the army is going out again, but it's a pity that I can't go this time."

Next to Abu stood a young man named Wu Qiang. He was the squadron leader of the militia squadron assigned by the navy.

Wu Qiang was a little disappointed after arriving here. He found that he spent most of his time fishing with fishermen. Everyone had very tight labor tasks and did not have much time for military training.

The only thing that made him happy was that the people from the production team introduced him to a partner.

This Ryukyu girl's name is Axiang, and she is the beauty of the team. Wu Qiang fell in love with Axiang the first time he met her.

Now he just wants to get married as soon as possible, and then he can complete his training as a militia squadron leader and return to the army as soon as possible.

"Captain Wu, don't worry. Isn't the head of state going to fight against Dongfang? He will definitely expand his army by then. An outstanding young man like you will at least be a captain when he returns." Abu comforted Wu Qiang.

Abu knew the head of state, and he could have become an official, but Abu liked his village.

He feels that by leading his team members to catch more fish, he is also making a contribution to the Chinese community in office, and fishing is what he is best at.

"Captain, look, there is a ship there..."

…

…

On the first night on the island where Zhao Liewen was imprisoned, a small pirate leader came to him and asked him many questions.

Zhao Liewen could feel that some of the problems went beyond the need for kidnapping.

The person who asked the question was called Zeng Tai. Zeng Tai turned out to be Zhuo Yiqing's right-hand man.

After the Red Flag Gang was annexed by the Black Flag Gang, he pretended to join Blackbeard.

He became a middle-level leader under his command and was in charge of five ships.

This time he also went to sea with the Seventh Master, captured a lucky ship, and made great achievements.

Following Zhuo Yiqing's orders, Zeng Tai took the initiative to take up the job of delivering meat coupons.

As the New Year is approaching, no one wants to go out, not to mention that there is no gain in such things as delivering letters.

In this way, after Zeng Tai got the address, he immediately set off for Ryukyu Yaeyama the next day.

Zeng Tai was not very familiar with this route, but he still knew the general direction.

He was driving a stolen sloop, which was much faster than Chen Deli's lucky boat. Although it was delayed for a few days, they still followed Chen Deli to Yae Mountain.

After sailing on the sea for seven or eight days, Zeng Tai finally saw the island.

This place is a bit unfamiliar to Zeng Tai. However, some of the pirates on his ship had been to Yae Mountain before, and they recognized Ishigaki Island at a glance. The towering peak on the island can be seen from a long distance on the sea.

Just when everyone was excited about arriving at their destination.

A dozen fishing boats suddenly appeared on the sea and rushed towards them quickly.

They are pirates, and the fishing boats I saw before all avoided them.

Today, these fishing boats were like a pack of wolves, rushing directly to surround them.

"Don't do anything." Zeng Tai asked his men to put away their weapons.

He's not here to rob.

Zeng Tai asked someone to slow down the boat.

After a while, the boats surrounded us.

A young man, wearing a sleeveless sweatshirt and a pair of large blue trousers, jumped on his dhow.

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen people jumped up.

Some of them carried harpoons, some carried hook guns, and a few even held firecrackers.

Zeng Tai felt that their hook guns and harpoons seemed to be standard equipment because their appearance looked similar.

"Who are you?" The leader opened his mouth but spoke fluently in southern Fujian.

…

…

Early in the morning, Dong Liang got up early to wash up. When he arrived at the port, the soldiers had already begun to board the ship.

Going to sea to fight is a common thing for the escort army.

All work is carried out in an orderly manner like clouds and flowing water.

Because we are going to conquer Dongfan, there are already a lot of supplies on the island for going out to sea, so there is no need for special preparations.

Weapons and ammunition can even support a war.

Dong Liang finally boarded the "Wrath of the Sea".

All the warships then left the bay one by one.

At this moment, a small boat suddenly caught up with him from behind the fleet.

Wu Qiang urged the sailors on the communication boat to speed up.

After he caught Zeng Tai, he heard the other party's intention and knew that the matter was of great importance, so he quickly led people to rush Zeng Tai to Shangyuan Port.

He knew that the head of state was planning to set off in the morning, and if it was late, he might not be able to catch up with the fleet.

Fortunately, we met a communication boat on the way.

Nowadays, the Chinese fast communication boats are basically the same model as rocket boats, which are very fast.

Wu Qiang felt relieved after boarding the communication boat, so that even if the fleet had already gone to sea, they could catch up.

Zeng Tai did not expect that the fishermen who caught him were also the men of Mr. Dong.

What this Master Dong did was to turn the entire people into soldiers.

He found that most of the fishermen were Ryukyus, from which he could judge that Mr. Dong really controlled Ryukyu, at least Yaeyama.

When he got on the communication boat, he was amazed by this fast sailing ship.

Its streamlined and beautiful figure, as well as the terrifying speed that Zeng Tai had never seen before, made Zeng Tai fall in love with it.

A man like him who makes his living at sea naturally likes warships.

It would be great if I could own such a car.

But he was soon taken outside Uehara Port, where a huge fleet was setting sail.

Seeing the communication boat approaching, the fleet did not stop.

Instead, send a signal and let the communication boat slowly approach.

Zeng Tai climbed up the rope ladder to the big ship very skillfully.

He had only seen this kind of big ship from a distance, and this was the first time he had boarded it.

People outside said that Mr. Dong robbed a foreigner's ship, but it turned out to be true.

And there was not just one big ship, there were four big ships in front of him.

The huge cannon on the deck brought him a huge sense of oppression, and the crisscrossing sail ropes dazzled him.

Soon Zeng Tai was brought to a young man.

This young man is tall, has handsome features, is polite, and has a smile on his face.

But when Zeng Tai saw the young man behind the young man, he was stunned on the spot.

Zeng Tai's identity often allowed him to go out to sea to do missions, so Zhuo Yiqing gave him the task of finding Zhuo Lang.

But how difficult it is to find a child on such a huge coast.
