The sailors drove the ships over one by one. They have been attacked by these pirates before and know that they don't kill people very much. As long as they are obedient, they will not even look down on your ship.

If they do, they will probably tell you to get lost. They didn't bring a merchant ship, and there aren't any valuables on board. They probably just came up to take a look and then left.

Sure enough, several ships came over, and they didn't fire any cannons. They lowered a small boat from the ship. Some inexperienced sailors and businessmen were scared to death, but some old sailors were not so scared.

, they hurriedly ran to the side of the ship, preparing to pull those people up. This was strange, damn, how could they be so enthusiastic with pirates? Several cargo owners were all a little monks and confused at this time.

Could it be that several people on the boat were in collusion with these people?

However, this matter seems a bit unjustifiable. These people were recruited temporarily. If they really colluded, this place is not far from the port. If you go further, there may be many

Guaranteed, it would be better to come to work at that time. Seeing the dozen or so people coming up, the cargo owners on the ship thought that there were only a few people coming up. If they could make these people their hostages

It might be better, maybe they could win this time, but their ideas might not be that good, and a few sailors might have seen what they had in mind.

"I say you guys better not act recklessly. Did you see that thing they are carrying? They can launch ten crossbows in an instant. Just a few of us are not enough for the first round of attacks.

, if possible, they can kill us all within a minute. Besides, if you detain them, the people on the ship over there will be angry. What will happen in the end? All of us may be killed.

Yes, you haven't seen their artillery, but I have, and I don't want to die in this place." A sailor said. They are all very familiar with such things. These businessmen only have money in their minds.

, who knows that sometimes money is not of much use, and your own head is more important.

Several wealthy businessmen stopped talking. They looked at each other and went over to greet him with other sailors.

"Several military masters, please come here. Please come here." Li Cong came with about twenty people. His subordinates were not worried about this. They were all under his control, and Li Cong himself had

The strength of a ninth-level warrior. If Bei can catch these people in such an environment, then he can just find a piece of tofu and kill him, and there is no need to go to so much trouble.

"Haha, you guys know the rules very well. Yes, our leader came with us this time. Tell us, tell us what is on your clothes and what are you doing there. Tell us clearly. If this is the case, we will

I will consider letting you go. After all, it's not easy for you either. We all make a living at sea. We can't control the natural disasters. Although you think we are all **, as long as each of you can

If you cooperate well, there is nothing wrong with this. We are not venomous snakes and beasts, and we do not enjoy killing people. All we want is some things, right? We won't lose our heads if we fall for these things." A soldier smiled.

He said, indeed, this time these people hung up the white flag without waiting for the gunfire. Their faces were really very honorable. Li Cong has praised them several times. This is the first time for these brothers to visit Li Cong.

As for the awards, looking at the expressions on their faces, it seems that they still feel that the profession of pirates is very promising.

"What the military master said is, how could we not understand things? Just now we relied on several military masters to be merciful. If you don't like us, why would you tell us so many things? Just let the artillery

Just kill us. We don’t have much thought. All we want is to save our own lives. Many times we have no other thoughts. Saving our lives is the best thing. This

These few are the owners of these goods on the ship, and they will tell you everything." The ship boss led these soldiers to the wealthy businessmen, wondering if these guys would be guilty of their own crimes.

Bei's goods were robbed by these people, and I felt very uncomfortable. What retaliatory measures would they take to Li Cong and the others? If this was really the case, don't wait for these soldiers to take action, they would go up and kill this guy directly.

It's okay if your life is implicated in being killed, but it's not okay if our lives are implicated.

"Do you guys know what's in this box?" The soldier himself was considered a working man in the past. He didn't have anything to say to these rich people. He didn't speak in the same tone as the crew members on the ship just now.

, those crew members are naturally not troublesome, these gentlemen are always bossing me around, just like the big belly in front of me, I just thought that the conditions on this ship are so difficult, in fact, these are misers, generally speaking

It is said that merchants will not follow their own goods by themselves, especially in this more dangerous time, they will pay a lot of money to hire some people to follow them, but now the reason why they all follow them by themselves is that they want to use the money

To save money, it is right from their hearts. The goods on this ship are worth less than 10,000 taels of silver. If you hire a person, it will cost at least 1,000 taels of silver. This is one-tenth of the success.

Now, when it comes to things like settling accounts, most people can't keep up with businessmen. They are the most powerful, but now everyone is a little regretful. One-tenth of the money cost them their lives.

It's really not worth it here.

"To tell you a few military lords, this place belongs to us. All our goods are in it, and they are all worthless things." This guy smiled and brought over a fifty-tael silver ingot, hoping that

This thing can be useful.

"Haha, there is still money. Yes, I know that you are definitely not buying cheap goods here. I will give you a chance. If you can take the initiative to take out your money, I won't say anything. If

If you don't take it out, it won't be that simple for me to take it out myself later. What do you mean?" The guy said with a smile. The guy who was about to give the gift was dumbfounded. How could it be like this?

What about the matter? The purpose of taking out the money was to bribe you. Now it's fine, it has directly become the cause of my own trouble. This kind of thing is really uncomfortable.

"Commander, what is transported on the ship is really not silver. We only have a few hundred taels of silver at most on the whole ship. What is transported is some cargo such as sails and canvas. They are all short-distance transportation.

Yes, we can get there from Re Province to Gh Province in just one day. There are not many valuable things." Another businessman said honestly. In fact, what they said is right. Don't look at this.

There are many people in the fleet, but these things are not very good at all.

"Sails and canvas?" The officer glanced at Li Cong, who never said anything. He glanced at the soldiers behind him again, and immediately two soldiers ran over. They wanted to open it to see if it was with this guy.

They said the same thing. Five minutes later, they randomly checked the things in several cabins. It was exactly what this guy said. They were all canvas and the like. There really wasn't anything valuable. A few sailors over there

That's what they said, but they don't know if there is anything in these boxes. At this time, they are also unable to protect themselves. Naturally, they will not care about these things. If they don't handle it well, they may

It's natural that I can't do anything like this if I risk my own life.

"As far as I know, you should have such things in your coastal areas. Why do you want to transport these things to that province? Is there any problem there? There have been no big storms recently. Why do you want to transport these things to that province?

You have transported it." The officers were not half as vigilant. Half of their information was transmitted by spies from the Eastern Empire, and the other half was told by these people. Generally speaking, the information from these people is still

It's very accurate, much more accurate than those so-called guys. Of course, this is also related to the fact that their lives are threatened at the moment, and they don't dare to talk nonsense.

"Going back to Master Jun, we don't know anything about this. We just know that the things over there have been taken away by the Northern Court. The prices over there are more than 20% higher than what we have here. We will transport them there.

Local businessmen, they give us 10% of the profit, and then they resell it and earn another 10% of the profit." The businessman said honestly, they really don't know what it means, they just know that they can get 10%

The profit was already considerable. Of course, they had also thought about the possibility of encountering these pirates at sea, but the money was earned so quickly. It only took a day's work. Besides,

I haven't seen these pirates in a long time. It is said that there are some new things in the navy, and these guys are afraid to come out. Under this background, this guy took a few businessmen and rented a fleet to set off on the road.

, I didn’t expect them to come out so quickly...

The officer didn't say anything, walked quickly to Li Cong, and told Li Cong the news. Maybe they should change the route and go to this province to have a look. Maybe that's where these new warships are being built. If

If you can find this place, it should be no problem. Even if your calculations are wrong, it will only take an extra hour to get there. Their speed is so slow, but ours is not slow. Attacking anywhere is not an attack.

, besides, they are just a trial fleet, they can do anything, the top leaders on the ship are here, and they can change orders at any time.

"Your speculation is completely reasonable. Ask them about the situation at that port, ask those on our warships who have been to that port to describe the specific conditions there, and quickly change our combat plan. Of course, we also have to

Be careful and let these guys be interrogated separately. If nothing happens, just put them all on one of the ships and sink the others directly. Although there are not a lot of supplies, this is the Eastern Empire's after all.

Lost." Li Cong thought for a moment and said. Now he also felt that this matter was a bit strange. Li Cong had never known the location where the Southern Empire was built, and Linghu didn't know about this place either. He didn't expect it to be sent to him now.

Now that we are here, this will definitely pass.

Soon the interrogation transcripts of several other people came up. What they said was very similar to what the guy just said. It seemed that the Southern Empire had really concentrated this matter in that place. There were two sailors in that county.

He was born and raised here, but because something happened in the local area, this brother was the one who escaped. The two brothers had no choice but to hang out on the ship. They have to be careful when they get to land. I heard that they are going to attack Dongfang.

The imperial court and the two brothers were extremely happy.

"Normally, you two are from the Eastern Empire. Why are you two so happy when I'm going to rob your hometown?" After returning to the warship, Li Cong looked at the two cheerful brothers and asked,

How could there be no reaction at all?

"Master, I think you should be one of their bosses. In fact, I'm not afraid to tell you. The biggest rich man in our county occupied our family's fields back then and forced our grandfather to death.

.His son later used the same method to force my father and two uncles to death. The two uncles were about the same age as us. Later, when we two brothers grew up, they tricked us two brothers.

I signed a contract that I didn’t know what it was. You know, we all come from poor families. How could we read those so-called words? We could only sign it honestly. Later we found out that it was our brothers.

The two gave them a life-long contract to sell themselves as slaves. We were angry and resisted. They were beaten until they were covered with bruises. If they didn't go out to work, they would be beaten like this every day. I heard that they were beaten to death there.

We have no choice but to obey first, but we are not fools. We are also looking for opportunities to take revenge. Just by chance, we got the opportunity to deliver medicine to the old man. My eldest brother and I directly

By strangling this old guy to death, it can be regarded as revenge for my grandfather. The two of us have also caused trouble. People in their family are looking for us day and night. They, uh, the old men in the government are all very familiar with it.

, we two brothers immediately became wanted criminals. We had no choice but to get on the ship. From then on, we rarely went back. Even if we received a job to go there, we would never get off the ship.

I'm here to rob, how can we be unhappy?" This guy said happily, Li Cong nodded, it's not surprising to have such hatred and such a reaction, these two brothers can't hold back for a long time.

Long enough.

Although some other sailors did not say whether they supported it or not, it could be seen from their eyes that they had no feelings about pirate robbery because they had nothing in their hands.

If you come to rob us, it won't have a big impact on us. The biggest ones are those wealthy businessmen and so on. If it's nothing, the most they can do is break some things in their homes, and then they can live a good life, especially those in front of them.

Pirates don't rob people's homes, and they will also drop some money when they pass by the door of some people's homes.

"Actually, there is oppression everywhere. We didn't live a very good life in the past. We didn't want to be pirates. We came to rob just to survive. Of course, the main targets are these big business owners.

He's here." Li Cong said a few more words to the two brothers and then left. The two brothers could agree to be guides. They were very familiar with that wealthy family. After a while, these two guys actually wanted to

Joining the gang, they still can't agree to such a thing for the time being. Who knows what this story is about. The faces of the two brothers are still very simple, but this matter is not that simple. In the future, slowly

That's all. Now let's take a few of them in.

Two hours later, Li Cong and the others had arrived at the gh province. Such speed made the two brothers feel a little proud. They had been at sea for a long time, but they were definitely not that fast, especially them.

The speed of some ships is simply incomparable to this one. They don’t seem to have those sails on their ships. There is a machine that keeps beeping. What on earth is this thing? How can it be so powerful? No wonder

The empire that others can conquer is nowhere to be found.

The gv port in gh province can be said to be the largest port within a radius of hundreds of miles. Previously, Li Cong's staff also thought that this might be the gathering place for those suicide ships. But later this

The local government rejected it. Although the port here is relatively large, there are not that many people here. If so many soldiers suddenly came, they might not even be able to solve their food problem, so they chose another place.

Well, now it seems that their commander is not a fool. He also understands what it means to make false news for you. The rest is your business. You guessed it right. You win.

If your guess is wrong, you are out of luck.

Li Cong used a telescope to look at the port. It was a natural port. However, it still had some shortcomings when used as a military port. Some of the protruding places at the back were too close to the coast. There was no way to follow it.

The ships have formed some defensive postures. It is very easy to attack here. Li Cong continued to look over. The population on the shore is not very large, there are not many ships here, and the economy is considered medium. Look
To be continued...
