Liu Bantou said, "Did you notice the short moustaches on their sideburns?"

"Their short horns on their temples!" A sentence awakened the dreamer, but unlike Liu Bantou, when others heard that the thieves just now might be Japanese pirates with short horns on their temples, they were almost about to leave when they fought.

This cannot be blamed on them, because the Ming Dynasty soldiers and civilians in history were very afraid of these fierce Japanese pirates with "bare-headed bird sounds and three-foot swords with naked bodies". However, perhaps they were doing all the bad things in foreign countries, and these Japanese pirates from Japan were also trembling as if they were walking on thin ice. They were afraid that the people would poison them when they drank water.

So when talking about Japanese pirates, Zhang San and others immediately saw the image of a half-naked thug, holding a big sword in their hands, and ferocious face. But in fact, those who were "tight and trolled" were mostly Chinese thieves pretending to be Japanese, and the Japanese pirate leaders who were the most harmful in the decades after Zhengde were almost all well-dressed Ming Dynasty merchants.

In this dynasty, the frontline memorials often include the words "kill several real Japanese heads, and several followers of thieves". The real Japanese are real Japanese people, while the followers are Ming people from all walks of life and all the ranks of the Ming people in the coastal areas.

The proportion of true Japanese pirates is very small. In the "History of Ming Dynasty" written by later generations, it is said that "it is generally three out of ten real Japanese pirates, and seven out of ten people follow the Japanese." Xie Jie, an official who wrote "Qiantai Wo Zhuan", even exclaimed desperately and said, "Everyone in the seashore is a thief, and it is unbearable to be punished."

Because the proportion of thieves was actually more than 7 out of 10, but higher, at that time, a Kunshan man was kidnapped by Japanese pirates for more than 50 days and returned from escaping. He described what he saw and heard to the government, saying that "there were about 200 Japanese pirates on the ship, including Fujian, Wenzhou, Taiwan, Ningbo, and several Anhui people. Among them, Fujian people are the most, accounting for six or seven out of 10. However, there are only a dozen Japanese thieves in their buns." In this way, among the two hundred Japanese pirates, only a dozen were real Japanese, which means that the "three out of 10" mentioned in "History of Ming Dynasty" is still exaggerated.

In fact, in the late Yuan and early Ming pirates, Japanese pirates were dominated by Japanese people. But in the past hundred years after Zhengde, that is, during the period when the Japanese pirates in the Ming Dynasty were the most violent, the main force of Japanese pirates became Chinese. This is because in this stage, the coastal minority who were "forced by greed and cruelty and trapped in hunger and cold" from the thieves were truly the main body of Japanese pirates, and the root of hunger and poverty lies in the maritime ban policy of "not allowed to go to the sea".

Because the southeast coastal area has always been poor, since the Song and Yuan dynasties, local residents have always regarded going out to sea trade as the source of food and clothing. A sea ban ruthlessly deprived the local residents of their "food and clothing", and their jobs were smashed, and their livelihoods were cut off. For the confused coastal residents, there were only two roads in front of them, either to endure hunger or take risks to smuggle at sea.

Of course, in addition to the coastal people, there are also murderers, prisoners, dismissed officials, cunning monks, and scholars who are in vain and have no ambitions. Those who fail to show off will be spies and their hometowns. The weak seek to be filled and warm, while the strong want to vent their anger. In a word, it means that all the three religions and all kinds of things are included.

After saying this, Liu Banto found that there was no sound around him. He looked up and saw that everyone looked panicked. Obviously, they were afraid that the three thieves were spies of the Japanese pirates, but they didn't know if the main force of the Japanese pirates was following behind.

...

The three people who were considered Japanese pirates by Liu Bantou and others were walking on the small path leading to the beach.

"Lao Jin, do you think we should go to Jiangjiazhuang now and cut off the clues that might have left in the past."

A fat man was talking, wearing a square hat on his head and a navy blue robe. He slapped his sleeves in front of him from time to time while walking, hoping to bring him a little cool breeze.

The middle-aged man named Lao Jin by the fat man pondered for a moment, and after a while, he replied, "I don't think there is any need. Even if we left them that day, they would only think that we are ordinary pirates. How could they find us in this vast ocean?"

A young man following them also interrupted and said, "It will take at least more than an hour to go to Jiangjiazhuang. I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with the ship back to the island, and we have to spend the night in this wilderness like we did a few times."

When they heard that they might have to spend the night in this wilderness, the other two people couldn't help but speed up, because they remembered that there were several times because they arrived at the beach a little later, so they could only watch the boat sailing and breaking through the waves, leaving them a lonely sail shadow, and then disappearing on the sea.

Fortunately, at that time, they also learned some knowledge of "survival in the wild", from directions in the wild, handling lost to emergency avoidance, from camping, finding water sources to preventing insects and snakes, etc. The three of them gathered their minds, and each recalled something they had learned, so that they could safely pass by the next two days and nights, and stand up to the second assembly point.

After returning from that "Wild Survival" trial, after washing and resting, they quickly found Mr. Chen and asked him to explain the book "Guide to Survival in the Wild". Fortunately, Mr. Chen is also one of their instructors, and is responsible for reading these materials according to the script, so it is not difficult.

However, although Mr. Chen can understand the "simplified Chinese characters" on the materials, he does not know what the many nouns in the book mean, so he also has to ask the leader. Unfortunately, the leader's explanation is sometimes vague, and he just let them test this set of theories in practice.

According to the leader, they will be the first batch of agents of this era. In addition to being bold and meticulous, their memory and adaptability must be particularly strong, which makes them very nervous and trepidated, and they feel like "a great responsibility is given to the heavens", and they also look forward to one day becoming a "heroic spirit" as the leader said.

Moreover, after each trial, the chief also asked them to submit a report, collect, organize and analyze the collected information. The first few times were really the weasel bites the turtle. There was no way to start, but the further they went, they felt more and more like what the chief said was "seeing the leopard in the tube".

However, Huangshi was not very satisfied with them, because the three of them grew up a little too slowly. Not to mention becoming 007 with unique skills, they have the ability to fight against ten. Even if they want to become a qualified agent in the modern sense, there is still a long way to go, after all, their starting point is too low.

Because modern agents and intelligence work have slightly lower requirements for internal purposes, and high requirements for external purposes. Moreover, the specific requirements are still different and targeted.

Things that need to be learned include reconnaissance, monitoring, tracking and counter-tracking, foreign languages, intelligence collection, intelligence analysis and judgment, code cracking, disguising, assassination, driving, shooting, confession, various killing techniques, etc. Even psychology is basically necessary, survival in the wild, and patience is needed. In addition, of course, there are various professional courses.

Unfortunately, Huangshi does not know some high-end courses at all, and most of the learning materials are not found on the Internet, because this is not like military training courses, which are everywhere on the Internet. Huangshi himself has participated in military training, so he can combine theory with practice and set an example in military training courses.

Therefore, in addition to reconnaissance, tracking, counter-tracking, intelligence collection, and other subjects to improving patience and wild survival have become the main learning projects in the past or two months. The first few materials were searched by Huangshi from the Internet, and the wild survival learning materials "Wild Survival Guide" were bought from an online store.

In fact, this book was purchased before Huangshi got the Gate of Time and Space. At that time, the top of the earth's food chain was broadcast on TV - Bei Ye's wild survival program. At that time, there was also a lot of hot discussion on the Internet. Huangshi was also very interested in these. When he saw that there was a book of the same name on "Dangdang.com", he paid for it when he was so angry.

The author of this book, Peter G. Derek, is the same country as "Bayer", in the UK. The translator is Cao Lin and the publisher is Heilongjiang Science and Technology Press. However, after buying the book, Huangshi left it behind without reading a few chapters. It was not until that time when he was going to Chengguan from a small village in Zhangcheng that he quickly found the book and read a few pages of content.

Therefore, when Huangshi decided to train intelligence personnel and agents, he turned out the book again, and someone modified the inappropriate phrases, and then copied several copies as one of their learning materials. He told them that this "Wild Survival Guide" is a comprehensive guide on outdoor survival skills, showing the wisdom of the world's best explorers.

Because the contents of the books echo each other, except for modifying individual phrases, Huangshi's chapter names and contents remain basically unchanged, and it is still "planning and preparation", "basic equipment", "navigation", "long journey", "camping equipment", "food and nutrition", "people and environment", "first aid", etc.

However, the above content not only introduces various types of outdoor travel for people who travel, including hiking, cycling, boating and horse riding, but also introduces the necessary safety knowledge and first aid knowledge when traveling, adventure and hiking. It also explains in detail various survival skills during camping and traveling.
