Chapter 1419 Pirates
Nanyang, Luzon Island.
The originally lush island was filled with long smoke like dragons. This situation had already occurred since the end of February, reached its peak in March, and April still continued.
As the fire gradually spread in the northern and northern Luzon Island, many trees were burned down, and more and more animals or people were hiding in this sea of fire, and many tribes had to move out of their original residence.
For the indigenous residents of Luzon, this was undoubtedly a monstrous disaster. Many tribes died because of this, and the islanders who survived by chance also found food to fill their stomachs, and they became savages.
That's why there are many islanders who make a living by fishing on the coast of Luzon. They use their homemade simple tools to fish on the beach.
The girl Niu Na stood quietly in the water holding a good harpoon. When a dark brown grouper swam nearby, she immediately stabbed the grouper fiercely.
Seeing the iron fork penetrate the grouper's body, she was not waiting for her to be happy, and she heard a loud noise from the sea, but she couldn't help but look up in a daze.
But a shell weighing ten kilograms hit the sea heavily, and immediately grabbed a large water column of more than ten meters high, and several pirate ships surrounded a merchant ship from all over the place.
"pirate!"
When he saw this scene, Nina immediately ran towards the tribe with a harpoon.
A group of natives were fishing in the shallow sea and heard the sound of cannons coming from the sea. When they realized that something was going on, they couldn't help but look at the sea with concern, and were curious about which pirates dared to rob here.
"It's a robber, go quickly!"
Guangdong businessman Zhou Dachun was originally a very ordinary ceramic businessman. When he learned that Nanyang was full of gold, he could not help but his dream of making money was to buy a second-hand ship to go to Nanyang to hunt for gold.
But I never expected that it was just the second time I went to hunt for gold and was pirated by pirates on this route known as the safest "Xiangshan-Luzon".
When they saw the pirates appear, dozens of crew members and several merchants on the ship were panicked. Facing the threat of death, they seemed to cooperate and continue to row to the south, because dozens of nautical miles were the territory of the United Merchants Group.
As long as they can escape from the pirates and to the harbor of the United Merchants, they will be absolutely safe. In the waters of the South Ocean, there is no force that can compete with the United Fleet.
Bang!
Just as they worked together to flee towards the south of Union City, they had only set a distance of less than a hundred meters, and a pirate ship was already guarding against them and crashed heavily from the side.
The impact seemed to be premeditated. A white-sized ship had already been ambushed in front, accelerated from the front and crashed into their bows, causing many of their bodies to rise up in the air.
"Shake quickly!"
Zhou Dachun fell heavily in the cabin, and a tooth spit out of his mouth with blood, but years of business have made him have a tough personality, so he immediately endured the pain and ordered the crew.
Several crew members were from his Zhou clan. When they heard his orders, they stood up and continued to row, trying to escape from the gang of pirates.
"Uncle Eight, I said you really shouldn't have removed the cannon, otherwise we can give them a few black cakes!" A young crew member complained to his uncle while rowing hard.
Due to the careful calculations of the merchant, Zhou Dachun did do reckless things. However, he cannot blame him for this matter, because the old ship was seriously damaged, and experts told him that the ship could withstand the force of two or three shelling after bombardment at most.
"If this disaster is not the case, I will definitely buy a three-masted gunship if I make money in the future!" Zhou Dachun wiped off the blood on the corner of his mouth and shouted loudly with blood.
But no one believed his words. Not to mention that they might die under the pirate's knife today, and the cost of the three-masted gunship would cost at least 100,000 taels. This is definitely not a wish that Zhou Dachun could achieve.
"What's going on? Why is it getting slower and slower!"
Zhou Dachun was urging his crew to row out of the pirate encirclement as soon as possible, but suddenly he found that although the ship continued to move forward, the speed was significantly slower.
"Uncle Eight, our ship is hooked!"
A tribe member ran into the cabin in panic, bringing everyone a very bad news with a look of anxious expression.
But at some point, the white-smashed ship that collided with them had already thrown out iron fishing and connected the two ships closely together, but they were just dragging a large ship forward.
"This time it's really over!"
When Zhou Dachun learned this fact, his face was as bright as earth. He knew that this time he was doomed, so he muttered to himself.
"Uncle Eight, I'm afraid he's a bird, so we'll fight him!"
The young tribe who was in charge of rowing immediately dropped the boat and knew that the goods on the boat were all their Zhou family's property, so he immediately pulled out his waist and said hatefully.
"Yes, fight them!"
More than ten people responded and decided to fight to the death with the pirates.
"Okay, we'll fight him!"
Zhou Dachun also pulled out his waist knife and faced the sea boat road next to him.
He was a businessman who had suffered a lot in order to accumulate some family business. He also benefited from Princess Lin Lei, which helped him to benefit from it and then gained the capital to go to Southeast Asia to make gold.
He just thought that the wealth he had accumulated with great effort would be snatched away by these pirates, which made him very unwilling to accept it and he also prepared to fight the pirates to the death.
When Zhou Dachun led a group of people to the deck with murderous intent, the white-sized ship had already approached from behind, and a battle for the ship-receiving battle seemed to be about to break out.
"I only want the supplies on the boat, you can leave by boat!"
On the deck of the white ship, a middle-aged man filled with the wind of a general held the hilt of a knife and said lightly to Zhou Dachun and others.
"This is all my eighth uncle's belongings, and some of them are my Zhou family's goods. Don't want to snatch them!" A Zhou clan member immediately stood up and expressed his opinion.
Zhou Dachun looked at the other party with extraordinary temperament, but when he thought that the ship had been his decades of hard work and part of it was the savings of his tribe members, he immediately felt a high desire to fight.
"Then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
The middle-aged man's eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately said with murderous intent.
"Then step on my Zhou Dachun's body!"
Zhou Dachun knew that he would have to die in battle if he made a living on the sea, so he also held the sword tightly and replied loudly.
puff!
But as soon as he finished speaking, a cold arrow shot down from the white ship, and a splatter of blood suddenly splashed.
Chapter completed!
