Iron Dynasty

Chapter 229: Traces of the Japanese Pirates

The assembled people gradually dispersed, and the people of Yutai Village in the prison came out one by one.

Seeing Yue Yun, an old woman suddenly knelt on the ground and said to Yang Chengye: "Master Cishi, this matter of selling private salt has nothing to do with Yue Yun. I instructed him to do it. The people in the village are old and young. People who joined the army were killed when they went to sea to fish. Those of us who were still immortal could not farm at all. We all depended on selling illegal salt to get some food."

"Mother, what are you doing? Your Highness has already spared our sin." Yue Yun was rather embarrassed.

"What!" The old woman looked at the three people outside, two of whom he didn't know, and Yang Chengye smiled bitterly.

Seeing the old woman looking at him, Yang Chengye smiled bitterly and said, "Yue Yun is right. This is His Royal Highness King Qi, if you want to thank you, thank Your Highness."

The old woman turned to Xiao Ming with excitement and bowed her head in salute.

At this time, Xiao Ming helped the old woman up and said: "You don't have to pay this big gift. You can't live your life. This is the king's fault. This time I came to Dengzhou to solve the Japanese pirate incident."

The old woman was even more excited when she heard this, "Is what your highness said is true?"

Xiao Ming nodded.

At this time Pang Yukun said: "His Royal Highness, this is not a place to speak, let's go back to the government office. The complexity of Dengzhou is not worse than that of Cangzhou."

Yang Chengye came back to his senses immediately and said, "His Royal Highness, Pang Changshi is right. There are often pirates in Dengzhou City, so let's go back and talk about it."

Let the other villagers go back first, Xiao Ming took Yue Yun and the old woman to the government office.

The group sat down again, and Xiao Ming asked, "You are all from Dengzhou. Now tell the king about the situation in the waters near Dengzhou."

"Let me talk about it." Yue Yun said eagerly. Not only was he pardoned of his guilt, but he was also joining the army. He was excited and wanted to show something, "When my grandfather was fishing at sea, there were no Japanese pirates in this area. It's so rampant, but by the time of the generation of Caomin's father, there were more Japanese pirates in the nearby waters. Later, when we went to sea, we often encountered Japanese pirate boats. As long as we were hit by them, we would not die, we would be arrested and used as coolies."

"His Royal Highness, according to the time, it's almost the same. The killing of the envoy from the Kingdom of Da Yu to Goryeo happened more than 20 years ago." Pang Yukun said.

Xiao Ming nodded and asked, "What are these Japanese pirates like? What about the boats they're on?"

"These Japanese pirates are wearing wooden clogs, their hair stands up, their foreheads are bald, and their clothes are different from those of Da Yu Country." Yue Yun said.

Xiao Ming drew the appearance of the kimono with a pen and paper, and said, "Is it this way?"

"Yes, it's this kind of clothes." Yue Yun pointed and said, "As for their boats, we all call them Anzhai boats. This kind of boat seems to have put on the house."

"Anzhai boat?"

The name Xiao Ming knows that there is a record of this Anzhai ship in the data of the science and technology library, which looks the same as Yue Yun said.

After Yue Yun finished speaking, Yang Chengye said: "His Royal Highness, these Japanese pirates not only kill people and looted goods at sea, but also often go ashore to looting. Our Dengzhou has also found traces of Japanese pirates several times, but the number is not large, but the wealthy south is said to have a large number of Japanese pirates. ."

"This is all because Dengzhou is poor, otherwise how could these Japanese pirates let Dengzhou go." Yue Yun gritted his teeth and said.

Then, the three of them wanted to Xiao Ming to talk about some things on the sea. Xiao Ming also asked some fishermen about the types of fish they caught. Because of the limitation of fishing level, fishermen could only catch some small fish, such as the offshore waters such as scallops. There is also abalone, but because abalone needs to be caught by diving, the output is very small.

In modern times, this generation of Dengzhou is rich in abalone, because it is difficult to transport and store, this abalone is definitely a luxury item, and because of this, this fisherman can make a living by fishing.

However, with the increase in offshore Japanese pirate boats, fishermen rarely venture to fish for abalone in the sea.

Nowadays, Xiao Ming is facing a lot of dilemmas. Everything is a waste of time. Now the pressure of the northern barbarians makes it necessary to devote too much energy to naval construction. Therefore, the purpose of the Galen ship is not only to carry out ocean trade to obtain potatoes, etc. Crops are to expel Japanese pirates offshore.

Moreover, ten years of army and a hundred years of navy are not just a joke. People like Yue Yun still dare not leave the land too far when sailing on the sea.

In fact, why do Japanese pirate ships often appear here? The answer is obvious, because these Japanese pirates also travel along the coastline.

Leaving the coastline, they are likely to drive into the vast sea and never come back.

So when letting the fleet go on ocean voyages, Xiao Ming had to teach these people how to distinguish the direction at sea, and this is a deep knowledge.

After briefly understanding the situation in Dengzhou and the sea, Xiao Ming said to Yue Yun: "This fishing village in Dengzhou is more familiar than the governor. You should cooperate with Fang governor to recruit crew members."

"Yes, Your Highness, this question is just what if they don't want it? After all, they could be terrified by the Japanese pirates." Yue Yun said.

Xiao Ming smiled faintly: "This is a good thing. This king will not force you to join this king's navy, but you can take them to Qingzhou with this king. If they see the battleship and leave, this king will also Just do them, what do you think?"

"Well, this is no problem." Yue Yun said excitedly.

Speaking of recruiting seafarers, Xiao Ming thought of Luluo. He said to Luluo behind him: "By the way, Luluo, which village are you from?"

When he looked back, he saw Luluo crying.

Luluo heard the words and said: "His Royal Highness, I am from Yutai Village, aunt, do you remember me? I am Meng Haiqiu."

Only then did the old woman return to her country to look at Luluo, and said, "What did you say?"

Luluo came to the old woman this time~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and said: "Auntie, I am Meng Haiqiu, Meng Kuo's daughter."

Upon hearing this, Yue Yun looked incredulously and said, "Are you Qiu'er?"

Luluo nodded and said, "Brother Yun, I am Qiu'er?"

The old woman gradually became excited, she said: "Are you really Qiu'er?"

Lu Luo nodded again, and she said, "It's me, auntie, brother Yun, where is my brother?"

"Dead!" Yue Yun's expression suddenly became gloomy when he mentioned this.

The old woman looked at Luluo, as if she could see Luluo's appearance when she was a child, he angered Yue Yun: "Don't talk nonsense, Qiu'er, your brother..."

Speaking of this, she seemed to be unable to speak.

Yue Yun said angrily: "It's better to die, your brother has become a Japanese pirate, and now he is the leader of the pirate, ungrateful bastard, you have the right to treat him as dead."
