Chapter 1041 Fusang in the Tang Dynasty

Fuso Fukaeura (Nagasaki)

This is one of the most active ports in Fuso maritime trade.

Most ships set sail from here to some ports in Silla Kingdom, and some brave ones can even reach the coast of Datang. Of course, this route is relatively risky, because their ships are only about ten meters long, even if the sea is calm. At that time, it would take more than half a month to arrive.

If you are unlucky and encounter strong winds and waves at sea, your life will be even more difficult. Not to mention making some money, the ship may capsize.

Because Fusang has more people and less land, most coastal residents live by the sea. Of course, the profits from overseas trade have not yet appeared in this era, otherwise people in the Tang Dynasty would have done this long ago, and most people live in coastal areas. Fishing life.

Of course, in the past few years, due to the war in Silla Peninsula, many people from Silla Baekje came to Fusang. They were all the people who fought against the Tang Dynasty, so when the Tang Dynasty occupied this area, their lives were also One can imagine.

So before the last moment came, these people had to risk their lives and flee overseas. Fuso was chosen as the first target because of its geographical advantages. Because of the arrival of these people, it also led to The coastal area of ​​Fuso experienced a wave of prosperity.

These people who came were already disgusted with the Tang Dynasty, and the Fusang people were not good people, so these people began to have new ideas, which was to send certain ships to the coastal areas of the Tang Dynasty, because they knew that the Tang Dynasty The defenses in the coastal areas of the Tang Dynasty were weak, and the naval warships were basically destroyed, so as long as the plan was proper, it was possible to plunder a batch of supplies in the coastal areas of the Tang Dynasty.

The Fuso people respected the Tang Dynasty very much at this time. When they heard about the Silla people's ideas, they rejected them in every possible way. However, seeing the Silla people transporting things back one after another completely inspired these people. The robber gene in the minds of Fuso people.

So they started to attack the coast of Datang one after another. However, because the boats were too bad and they were not sure about the wind direction of the ocean here, out of ten boats, only three boats came back, and the rest of them were all feeding the fish in the sea. .

But even so, the Fuso people think this is a good deal, which can at least make their lives a little better. They all understand this truth. If there is no danger at all, then what? Isn’t everyone rich?

Today, several ships came back from the coast of Datang. The ships were filled with various supplies. Although there were not many expensive supplies, most of them were daily necessities. But as long as they were sold locally, these on the ships would If people were divided a little bit, they would be able to live like landlords and wealthy people in this life.

Now this is the budding stage of a pirate. Many people in the inland areas don't know that Li Xiang chose to attack Fuso at this time. In fact, his choice was very correct. Once such a harvest is spread by them, then these guys will Coastal robbery teams will be organized, and the Japanese pirates that will only appear in the Ming Dynasty will most likely appear in the Tang Dynasty.

This may be the butterfly effect of Li Xiang's rebirth. If the Tang army had not occupied Silla, then this group of Silla people would not have moved to Fusang. Now they are staying in Fusang and came up with such a ghost idea. This also makes The people in the coastal areas of Datang suffered a lot. However, after Li Xiang returned to Beijing this time, the coastal areas had already strengthened their defenses, so this time the harvest of these Fuso people was not very good.

"Didn't you take twelve boats? Why are you the only one coming back?"

An old man who was unloading the cargo said doubtfully, everyone knows that life at sea is not very good, so not many people come back, but if only one of a dozen ships comes back, will the rest of the people be dead? ? The death rate is too high.

"Forget it, there was a storm on the way. Half of the people went straight in. When we landed, we happened to encounter the local army of Tang Dynasty. I don't know what happened. There was no one there at all before. Ambush, this time we were actually targeted. We fought hard to rob a small village, and then we had this boatload of food. The remaining people..."

The people on this boat were also relatively lucky. It was calm on the way back. But if there were even a little bit of wind and waves, their overloaded state would probably capsize the boat. As for the other people, maybe At this moment, they had all been killed by the Tang army.

According to the practice of the Tang Dynasty army, when they discovered pirates attacking the coast, they would immediately tie up these people and tie them to wooden stakes on the beach, leaving these people to starve to death. Some of them died in the end. They would shout at the sea. This is how the Tang army told the pirates on the sea that if you dare to come, this will be the result.

A lot of people gathered in the port. No matter how many people died, they saw the money in the captain's hand at this moment. A boatload of grain and various supplies were exchanged for a lot of money, which was enough for them to live. The rest of my life will be better.

As for those who died, it was all due to their bad luck. Everyone thought that they were the chosen ones, so many people also had Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts. Should they go back and contact a group of people, and then go to the coast of Datang? Once upon a time, the Tang Dynasty is very wealthy now. I heard that the people eat white rice every day.

"Did you rob all this food from ordinary people's homes? Are their lives pretty good?"

Some good people have already started asking questions here. Everyone who comes back from the Tang Dynasty is like a star, surrounded by many people.

"It's much better than our life. We spent the whole day fishing outside, and that's all we got back were two or three small fish. This fish soup lasted us through the day. Every household has its own food, at least. You can eat one solid meal a day.”

After these pirates finished speaking, the people present were dumbfounded. It is not easy to know that they can eat three to five meals of dry food a month. The people of the Tang Dynasty can already eat one meal a day. , no wonder there is something gained every time someone goes there.

"The Tang Dynasty is really rich!"

Some people are filled with admiration when they look at the West. They also want to become ordinary people of the Tang Dynasty, but it is a pity that they are so far away from each other by the sea...
