Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 276 The Asan Pirates

During half a year, several merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty passed by the sea area of ​​Maradi, and happened to be targeted by "shark teeth", so Su Shima personally led the team, robbed the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty, and beheaded all the merchants of the Ming Dynasty.

Afterwards, the cargo of gold and silver on board dazzled him, and he was hooked!

From then on, "Shark Tooth" began to focus on Daming's merchant ships. Last month, it attacked Daming's fleet three times in a row, allowing Sushma to make a fortune.

Just when Sushma was satisfied, a few days ago, a huge fleet suddenly appeared in Maradi's waters, and all thirty large ships belonged to Daming's fleet.

At this moment, even Su Shima, who was usually arrogant and unscrupulous, felt guilty at the bottom of her heart.

Although the fleet of thirty large ships did not dare to look closely, they had glanced at them from a distance. Even the few merchant ships inside, looking at the guards with swords and guns above them, was enough to make people tremble with fear.

In addition, after all, the bloodstains of the merchants from the Ming Dynasty hadn't been washed off, Su Shima thought twice, and decided to be a tortoise and avoid the limelight first.

But he was worried that the fleet composed of thirty large ships would come to his old lair in a daze, so he took three minions to drive the small boat every three days to check the movement of the fleet.

At this moment, seeing the three young men sent out, passing through the crowd and coming to him, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted loudly: "Achim, Salman, and Froz, my brothers, you finally came back!"

Sushma called out affectionately, but the three of them did not dare to really regard themselves as brothers of the leader. This was just a habit of Sushma, or just a gesture. Man, at this moment, he had been secretly buried to death, thrown into the sea to feed the fish, and disappeared completely!
The three minions hurriedly touched their chests with one hand respectfully, and bent down to salute: "Dear leader, we are back!"

Sushma waved her hand with a smile on her face: "Sit down, and tell me by the way, what news did you bring me today?"

None of the three dared to sit down, and they all pushed Achim to come out and answer: "Chief Sushima, we have been observing that fleet from a distance this morning. This fleet is very strange... "

Sushma narrowed her eyes, stood up, and walked towards the three of them: "What's so strange?"

Achim looked at Sushma who was getting closer and closer to the three of them, and couldn't help swallowing, for fear that if he said something wrong, Achim would pull out his saber and chop him off.

But he still endured the fear and said: "This huge fleet, when it arrived in the waters of Maradi, neither landed for business, nor went to the city to replenish supplies, nor did it continue to leave this sea area, but instead kept staying here. Wander around!"

Sushma's forward steps stopped slowly, and she frowned and returned to the Arhat bed. He rubbed his chin in doubt, and muttered: "It's so strange, such a large fleet always Going in circles on the sea, there is no other movement..."

"Fleet...Da Ming's fleet..."

The more Sushma talked, the more uncertain she became. The Deming Fleet didn't come here after her, did it?
It shouldn't be such a coincidence!
Although Sushma comforted herself that such a coincidence was impossible, the worry could not be eliminated no matter what.

Su Shima thought for a long time, but still secretly made up her mind, after today's banquet is over, and tomorrow when everyone under her command wakes up, she will start to issue a foot restraint order, except for the spies, no one can leave the island!
At this time, it is still more reliable to go a little bit.

Just when Sushma secretly decided to wait for a while, Salman who had been standing behind Achim suddenly said in a low voice: "Chief Sushma, on the armed merchant ships in the fleet, there are It seems that they are all high-quality silk, porcelain and tea!"

Sushma's eyes suddenly widened: "Fine silk, porcelain and tea? Are you sure?!"

Achim couldn't help but glared at Salman fiercely. This guy is really desperate for money. Such a powerful fleet actually wants to lure Sushma to vote for him. Isn't he looking for death!

But Salman had already spoken, and at this time Achim could only take the bait honestly: "That's the thing, although we are a little far away from the fleet, we did see the people on the boat take some dirty The ruined silk, as well as some fragments of porcelain and broken tea leaves were poured into the sea..."

"The silk floated in front of our ship along the waves. It was indeed top-grade... Although we couldn't inspect the tea leaves and porcelain fragments up close, since there are such good silks in this fleet, we would like to come to the tea and porcelain fragments on it. , definitely more valuable!"

Gudong!

Sushma swallowed hard. Top-grade tea, silk, and porcelain are almost as hard currency as gold in Nanyang. If these things are all her own...

The more Sushima thought about it, the more beautiful it became... But soon, the fleet of thirty large ships broke into Sushima's mind right here... He shook his head violently, and then shook it quickly head...

Then, he looked at the three of them viciously: "Remember! Don't tell anyone about the high-grade silk, porcelain, and tea in that fleet... Now we can't take any risks. When this fleet leaves, Let's move again!"

After finishing speaking, there was another long sigh of helplessness, and Sushima picked up the jug and poured it into her mouth, hoping that the alcohol would numb her desire for this batch of goods.

He, Sushma, was indeed greedy, but not to the point of dying for money.

Seeing that Sushma held back the greed in his heart, Achim couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He could see clearly this morning that there were quite a few artillery pieces in the fleet.

If Sushma really loses her head and competes with this fleet, it must be Sushma who is unlucky, and it is even very possible that there will be no pirate flag "Shark Tooth" in the Maradi sea area ever since.

Thinking of this, Achim, who had already left in front of Sushma, couldn't help but grabbed Salman's neckline fiercely, and said viciously: "You bastard who is greedy for profit, you want to die, don't implicate us!"

In the pirate group "Shark Tooth", Achim's status is much higher than that of Salman.

Facing the rough Achim, Salman could only smile and say: "Dear Achim, you also know how rich that fleet is, who can face such a rich ship? How can you maintain a calm mind when you are in the team? I just couldn’t help but blurted out!”

Achim let out a cold snort, loosened Salman's collar, and warned: "Whether you really can't help but blurt out, or you have other thoughts, I still want to persuade you to touch your poor little girl before you speak." Brain, don't lose your life!"

"Yes, yes, that's natural!" Salman smiled and watched Achim leave.

Salman snorted coldly until he couldn't see Achim: "What the hell! Everyone is a pirate, and every pirate has to be robbed and killed! I don't know what to pretend to be a wise man or sage!"

Froz, who had been silent all this time, spoke slowly at this moment: "Achim, Sushma is unmoved, what should we do now?"

This time he went out to investigate Deming's fleet, and after seeing the strength of that fleet, Achim has been worried, but Salman and Froz have been greedy for a long time.

They estimated that as long as Sushma was willing to do this, even if they had some soup, they would be enough to eat and drink for several years.

Therefore, the two agreed that when returning the news to Sushma, the articulate Achim would describe the prosperity of the Deming fleet in order to arouse Sushma's greed.

Unexpectedly, Su Shima actually withstood such a big temptation, she shrank her head and acted like a turtle. The arrogance and arrogance in the past, after encountering this Ming's fleet, unexpectedly changed quickly. Became timid and cowardly!
Thinking of this, Achim couldn't help stomping his feet fiercely: "Hey! Who would have thought that Sushma would be cowardly? Presumably this fleet will still be operating around here these days, let's see the situation first talk later!"

When Froz heard this, although he was dissatisfied, he also understood that this is the only way now, so he could only nod helplessly: "Let's do this first!"

The two decided on the rules, so they didn't think about it anymore, and soon joined the carnival in this cave!

The next few days were exactly as Achim had guessed.

This Daming fleet is still swaying back and forth in this sea area, neither leaving nor landing.

While Achim and the others were relieved, they really couldn't figure out what this fleet wanted to do.

The pirates were puzzled, and Maradi was also on pins and needles.

Maradi is a small state in southern India, with twenty small towns under its jurisdiction and a total area of ​​only four hundred miles, which is about the size of a county in Ming Dynasty.

The so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea, because this place is located on the coastline, Maradi relies on its natural geographical advantages to engage in maritime trade and develop marine fisheries, so this state is quite wealthy and powerful.

Even in the whole of southern India, they can be regarded as number one.

But these days, the monarch of Maradi, Sitarama, is restless day and night.

Because a huge fleet appeared in his sea area, and the most terrible thing was that this fleet was flying the flag of Ming Dynasty.

Yes, it is the heavenly kingdom in the east, a country like a giant.

In fact, Daming's fleet came as soon as it came, and wandered on the sea as it was. Anyway, Daming didn't think much of his small country, and he wouldn't do anything to Maradi.

But last month, the pirate "Shark Tooth" in Maradi Sea robbed Ming's merchant ships three times!

Logically speaking, what is the relationship between the pirates plundering the Ming merchant ship and Madeira?
At most, people questioned a few words about the incompetence of the Maradi people and the lack of strict governance of the people.

But this is your own territory, so it doesn't matter if the management is strict or not?
In a word, Madilla is useless.

But the problem is that all of these have a premise, that is, if Daming really cares about not sending out the army, Madilla can be justified.

The point is that the current situation in Madilla is abnormal and unreasonable.

The pirates in the Madeira sea area would change into another one almost every few years, or because the pirates fought each other, or provoked someone who shouldn't be provoked, they were directly wiped out.

But there are always a few pirates who have never changed. Even the most stupid people will understand that these pirates must have a background, but they don't know which faction the background is.

"Shark Out" is such a pirate force with a background, and their background is none other than the royal family of Madira!

In fact, the first generation of the founding monarch of Madira was born as a pirate. After he went ashore to wash his hands and found a country, he did not disband his pirate forces.

Instead, he regards that pirate force as his own black power.

Many dirty and black jobs that are inconvenient for the royal family of Madilla are done by this pirate force, and this pirate force is exactly "Shark Tooth"!
The monarchs of Maradi have changed from generation to generation, and the pirates of "shark teeth" are also constantly changing.

In the current generation, the current Maradi monarch, Sitaramah, is over sixty years old, and began to try to slowly transfer the power in his hands to his eldest son Hamid, including the pirate force "Shark Tooth".

But unexpectedly, last month, Hamid actually ordered "Shark Tooth" to secretly rob Daming's merchant ship behind his back, and even robbed it three times in a row!

This bastard doesn't know how scary Daming is at all, he's only dazzled by the benefits in front of him!

Thinking of this, Sitarama burst into anger. He felt that he should consider changing another heir!

Just when Sitarama was in a mess, suddenly a young and burly man in gorgeous robes strode into his palace. It was his eldest son and the mastermind behind the robbery of the Ming merchant ship, Hami. Germany.

"My respected father, your son Hamid, send you my most sincere greetings!" Hamid respectfully saluted Sitarama.

A sarcastic smile appeared on Sitarama's face: "The most sincere greetings? I'm afraid you want me to die early, so I can move the place for you!"

Hamid showed a look of helplessness on his face, and said in a low voice: "That matter, they did it very cleanly, and no one else knows except the insiders, so don't worry about this matter, it will be fine of!"

Hamid spoke sincerity, but in his heart he dismissed his father.

The father is really old, but he just robbed a few merchant ships. No matter how powerful Daming is, he can't cause trouble for us Malady people out of thin air. Why is the father so afraid?

As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but recall the scenery of his ancestors when he was a pirate!

Yes, in Hamid's heart, being a pirate is much more beautiful than being the monarch of Maradi.

He had read since he was a child, the diary of the first Maradi monarch, which was handed down secretly from the royal family.

In that diary, the first Maradi monarch recorded in detail his proud achievements as a pirate, that is, his annual income. These annual incomes actually exceeded the taxes of Maradi state for three or four years!

And back then, the first Maradi monarch and his subordinates made the entire Nanyang countries frightened. He could go to the palace of any monarch he wanted to spend the night in, and he could be called the uncrowned king of the entire Nanyang countries. !
