Chapter 1042: Concealing evil intentions

The crew of this ship are counting their money happily. This is the same as the captain's promise when he left. With this money, they can go back to their hometown to buy some land and live a good life, although there is no guarantee that they will be rich. It's expensive, but at least they don't have to risk their lives on the sea. They still remember the shock they experienced along the way.

After the captain divides all the money in his hand, he has to give part of it to the local government. If you don't give it, you won't be allowed to bulk cargo here. But even so, this is a business without capital. As long as you can Now that the supplies have been brought back, are you still worried about making money?

"Watanabe-sama, you look at the number, right?"

The captain said cheerfully, after the gentleman nodded, he could sell the ship directly, and then take the money to the small landlord's business. Pirates in this era were not professional yet, they all wanted to do something. I stopped writing.

"The number is not a problem, but you must not bring disaster back. If the Tang Dynasty pursues this matter, then we can't afford to go around in circles. You know why there are more and more Silla people here. Is it? It’s because their country is gone.”

The local officials were very happy when they received the money, but they were also worried. If Datang wanted to deal with this matter, they would be in trouble.

According to what he knew, among the latest batch of envoys to the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty court was already asking about this matter. They only blamed this robbery on the people along the coast, calling them pirates, and said that the Fuso government would Hold these people accountable.

To put it bluntly, they are making the Tang Dynasty court look like a fool. They also know what the rulers of the Tang Dynasty court are willing to hear. As long as they show their loyalty and clean themselves up, then this matter has nothing to do with them, let alone The central government of the Tang Dynasty did not necessarily care about the lives of the people along the coast.

"Don't worry, Sir. The Silla Kingdom was destroyed because they were looking for trouble on their own. They didn't obey the Tang Dynasty. In addition, they shared a land border. The cavalry of the Tang Dynasty could reach Silla Kingdom directly from Chang'an. There was nothing they could do to destroy the country. It’s a matter of fact, but we have a natural barrier like the sea, and Datang can’t do anything to us.”

The pirate captain said nonchalantly, in his opinion, their trip to the Tang Dynasty was a narrow escape, and only one of them came back with more than a dozen ships. Even if the navy of the Tang Dynasty was stronger than them, how could they still come to the door? ?

"You are right. The extremely powerful Central Plains dynasty in the past could not reach our Fuso. We are protected by Amaterasu..."

Thinking about the natural barrier on the sea, Mr. Watanabe felt very satisfied, but before he finished speaking, the guy rubbed his eyes vigorously. He seemed to see some shadows on the sea to the west.

It was a little cloudy on the sea today. If the sky had been clear, he would have been able to see it a long time ago, but now, even if it was cloudy, he could still see a ship in the distance.

"Are you sure you're the only ones coming back?"

When Mr. Watanabe said this, the captain next to him raised his heart in his throat. In fact, there were two ships that could come back. They were quickly discovered when they robbed Datang, and they only robbed Half a ship's worth of supplies, but the middle part was eaten by black people, and only then a whole ship's worth of supplies were brought back.

Could it be that this old guy has foresight? But soon the captain of the pirate ship gave up this idea. He followed Mr. Watanabe's finger and saw that what appeared in the distance was not a ship. It was obviously a large number of ships, and compared with these ships, their A pirate ship is like a small boat.

The people on the beach were also panicked. Although they were a seaport city, the largest ship was the same as that pirate ship, about twenty meters long. However, the ships in the distance were more than twice as long, and they were densely packed. , this is obviously a fleet.

Fuso is a maritime country, so their shipping industry is much more developed than that of the Tang Dynasty. But when they saw the fleet in front of them, everyone was frightened. Even in their dreams, they couldn't believe it. Have such a powerful fleet.

"Datang's fleet..."

As the fleet got closer and closer, someone could see clearly that the big flag on the bow was a big Chinese character "Tang".

It’s over, it’s over…

Mr. Watanabe's heart is about to explode. He has long said that the Tang Dynasty is extremely powerful. You bastards should not just go there and rob you. But you people just don't listen. It's better now. The Tang Dynasty's big ship is slowly approaching. , after all, you have brought enemies to Fusang that will destroy the country.

"How is this possible?"

The pirate captain said with some confusion, you must know that it is very far from here to the coast of Datang, and there is no feasible route at all. They also crossed the river by feeling for stones at sea, and I don’t know how many people died. Only then did such a route exist.

The fleet of the Tang Dynasty has never come to Fusang. Even if someone came, it was on a ship sent by Tang envoys. The people in Fusang are not stupid. Although they admire the culture of the Tang Dynasty, they also know how to protect themselves. Therefore, the specific location of Fuso is never disclosed.

In their view, it was simply impossible for Datang's ships to arrive in Fusang, but was the fleet in front of them fake? Many people can see clearly that every ship is much larger than theirs, but there are many openings on these ships. What are the round black holes inside?

"Don't panic, don't be confused..."

Mr. Watanabe is the local magistrate here. He originally lived a very poor life, but after having these pirates, he can distribute the money every two or three months, so his life is a little better, but now Finally, retribution came. Seeing that many people around him were trampled and injured, he wanted to organize the order here, but unfortunately it was not possible at all.

Everyone knew what day it was. This ship had robbed supplies from the Tang Dynasty. They were just trying to see what they wanted. Unexpectedly, the ships from the Tang Dynasty were chasing after them, and there were hundreds of them. , let alone their place, even if all Fuso's ships were added together, I'm afraid they wouldn't be as numerous as this fleet.

"Catch them all for me. No one can escape. In addition, go to all the pirates' houses and arrest them all for me. If you release any of them, I will question you."

Mr. Watanabe immediately figured it out. Only if he catches these people can he survive...
