Chapter 1363: Pirate Ship Trailing

"Everyone listen." At the mouth of the Yangtze River in Chu State. A plainly dressed captain was standing on the bow of the ship and shouted loudly.

And on the deck of the ship. Standing full of sailors who were equally plainly dressed. Some sailors were shirtless, some wore simple gowns, and some wore thin clothes and a small felt cloth made of linen.

"Huh." The captain said with a breath at this time.

"This time, we are going to sea. Just our ship." The captain said loudly waving his arms at this time. His finger pointed out with an index sign.

All the sailors did not speak. Quietly, only the flag and canvas heard the sound of "crash."

"The sea is different from the Yangtze River." The captain shouted loudly at this time.

"Those who don't want to go can withdraw. I will never stop." The captain shouted.

And all the sailors did not make a sound silently.

"Who wants to quit." The captain shouted loudly at this time.

"I don't want to retreat." At this time, the chief mate raised his arms and shouted.

"Yes, I will wait until I die." A shirtless sailor proactively stood up and responded.

"Never retreat, never retreat." The sailors shouted loudly.

"Okay." The captain waved his hands at this time to signal the sailors not to shout.

"We're going to sea now." The captain shouted loudly at this time.

"Sailing. Go out to sea." A first officer shouted loudly at this time.

"Go to sea, go to sea." The sailors shouted loudly. Then they quickly rushed to their original posts.

And in the port on the shore. Said a Korean businessman looking at the slowly rising sails.

"Our Korean warship. It's finally out to sea." The businessman said at this time.

"Brother, don't speak." Another scholar who was on the side stretched out his hand to stop it immediately.

"Oh. That's right." When the businessman heard these words, he immediately stopped speaking.

"This is a merchant ship. A merchant ship." The merchant should have said bitterly at this moment.

"That's good. That's good." The scholar said at this time.

And on the prosperous shore. Among the crowds of people coming and going. A stout-looking man hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd, and then swiftly walked towards a small boat moored on the edge of the Yangtze River.

"Hurry up," the stout man said loudly to a boatman at this time.

The boatman shook his oar quickly. The stout man looked anxiously at the South Korean merchant ship slowly leaving the Yangtze River.

On a Korean merchant ship.

"This time, we will stay far away from the Central Plains. Stay away from Chu State and go to a place we have never been to before." The captain said to the first officer.

"Sir, we should still have a warship." The first officer asked at this time.

"No. This mission only gave us one such warship, and the other warships did not complete the training." The captain said at this time.

"We also went into the water immediately after a simple run-in and went to a place we had never been to before." The captain said at this time.

"Where?" the first officer asked.

"I'll tell you this," the captain said.

"However, if we want to complete our route, we will first continue to the south along the coastline. Then we will establish one or two strongholds along the way. These strongholds are the anchor points for our warships." The captain said with a navigation map To. The nautical map that the captain was holding had some latitude and longitude markings, but there were not many details on the nautical map, only some general things. Some specific islands and some coastlines and so on. None of these yet.

After all, it was the first time they went to sea, and it was quite remarkable to be able to make such preparations. Not only that, they also have sextants for measuring longitude and latitude and other instruments on board.

"After reaching a certain point. We will head east. Always head east." The captain said when he looked up at the first officer.

"Xiang Dong?" the first officer asked surprisingly.

"Yes. To the east. We are going to find an island, and we Koreans have found an amazing island. We want to find this island. That is our purpose this time." The captain said to the first officer.

"Looking for an island?" the first officer said incomprehensibly.

"Yes. This island is very big. We are going to build our own stronghold on that island. The entire island is ours. All our warships in the future will be anchored on that island. Then use this island to build our navy. The base. Just like the naval base of the Qin people. We have to build ships in that place. At the same time, our ships can be repaired quickly if there are problems." The captain said.

"We in South Korea have no coastline. There is no outlet for the Yangtze River." The captain said at this time.

"We are a landlocked country. Qin is different. Qin also has the Yangtze River. They can take the initiative to go out of the Yangtze River and enter the sea as long as they want. Unlike us, it is difficult for us to enter the sea, and our country is very small. . The strategic space is small. We can only survive by establishing a huge base overseas.” The captain said.

"Occupy that island and operate it. It means a lot to us." The captain said to the first officer.

This is a Korean warship. But to go to sea. They modified the warship. They blocked the cannon exits. Close the door with a wooden board of the same color. At the same time, they also painstakingly nailed some door handles on the door panels. The purpose of this was to confuse the Chu State Navy’s inspection. At the same time, the merchant ships also carried out some detailed camouflage, but these camouflages were not too much. The main camouflage is to hide the position of the artillery on the battleship. At the same time, some goods placed on the deck made people mistakenly believe that it was a merchant ship.

But the warship is in order to carry more artillery. The number of artillery of the Korean warship has been transformed and upgraded by itself, and has reached an astonishing fifty artillery. The power of these artillery pieces is amazing. There are two upper and lower floors on each of the ships. Such a salvo of firepower is quite powerful. There were more than two hundred crew members at the same time. However, considering that they wanted to establish their own stronghold, they carried more soldiers, and the number of these soldiers suddenly exceeded the number of crew members of more than 300.

The captain and chief mate are intensively discussing the future of their country. And behind this disguised warship, there was a small boat closely followed. This small boat followed unhurriedly. Between the Yangtze River and the estuary, the boat could not go too fast. In that case, some unknown things were encountered. It is very easy to cause stranding in places, and it will be very troublesome once stranded. Especially big ships like this. Such ships must be more careful when going to sea.

"Look, head, is the big ship ahead." said a sloppy man standing on the deck of a ship a little smaller than a Korean warship.

"That merchant ship is really big," said a head-like man in a blended military uniform, holding a binoculars and looking at the merchant ship going away.

"Head, this is a big ship. The important thing is that it's a Korean ship, Koreans, rich. We just have to **** them. No one knows that we did the one who killed them." The whistleblower spoke eagerly.

"Hey." The man in the blended military uniform smiled. His clothes come from someone else's body. They were picked from a Korean. They got it from a package of clothes. Actually, the Korean they killed. It's a South Korean work. The military uniform shouldn't be there, but it turned out to be taken by the Korean.

Most of South Korea's meticulous work comes from the military, and their distribution is quite wide. South Korea is a country that values ​​the role of espionage, and their meticulous work is everywhere.

"Head, there are still a lot of supplies on it, but I saw them put those supplies on board." At this time. The whistleblower said that he eagerly told the other party the information.

"Oh. That would be great. The goods above are not worth knowing how much money. In this case, we will be rich." The head said.

"Good. Brothers." This time. Here comes the hair.

"Start the boat immediately, follow it, we are going to grab this boat." The head said loudly.

"Go boat, go boat." Hearing the command of the head. The people immediately set sail, and they want to follow up quickly.

This is a pirate ship that is adventurous to follow up, and what they do is a costless business. They look for the ships that are about to go to sea at the estuary, and then follow them carefully. When they reach a suitable sea area, they will immediately start to **** each other's property and then release the crew.

But what they probably didn't expect is that what they are tracking is a warship that they don't even want to think about. And the opponent's strength far exceeds their imagination.

On a beach in the south. The stronghold established by the Chu State Navy is slowly expanding. The crew arrived one after another, and then transported the materials they needed ashore.

"The weather here is really good. There are mountains over there. If we can move on, we can cultivate the land we want at that location. Plant some food. Then we won't be short of supplies." The captain looked. Speaking of the surrounding terrain and landforms.

This is a beautiful view. Inland on the coast are some low mountains. And more are some plains. In the eyes of Chu people, these plains are very suitable for farming. These lands can be developed. Plant more food. So they can solve their logistics supply problems. At the same time, more people can immigrate here for reclamation and farming. This can solve more problems in Chu State. The captain thought.
