Pirate Avenger

Chapter 68
Although the nautical technology was limited in this era, the European powers never slackened their efforts to explore Asia and enjoyed it.Every merchant ship returning full of Asian goods not only makes many business travelers rich and respected, but also inspires greater enthusiasm in others.

As one of the few blue-water navies with expeditionary capabilities in the world, France is a pioneer and leader in sea exploration.Naturally, this piece of fat in Asia will not be let go.

At this time, some European products were also very popular in Asia, coupled with the strength of France, so French merchant ships could be said to be unimpeded in Asia.

The camouflaged Huachang successfully docked in Nagasaki.The crew had no intention of disembarking, and only sent James, a pure Frenchman, and three crew members who could speak Japanese.On the surface, they visited the chamber of commerce one by one, but in fact they kept inquiring about news.Of course, in order to deceive others, they will also order a small amount of goods.

Due to the prevalence of bandit thinking, in this shameless country, not only did the pirates not be attacked by the government, but they got the secret support of many big names.For a time, the actions of the pirates were inconceivably regarded as acts of heroism.This also led to the emergence of many Japanese pirates purely for the purpose of plundering, in addition to those losers in the power struggle.

Therefore, it is not too difficult to know these news, and they can often be bought with a little silver in taverns and brothels.After many days of investigation, James and Spark, who returned to the ship, identified and checked the news, and read out the truly effective information one by one.

Based on this information, Spark decisively made the decision to set sail.

The first stop of the Huachang was a village near the capital of North Korea.

According to news, a pirate team of about 70 people, well-known in Osaka, set off a week ago and aimed directly at the surrounding areas of the capital.

This kind of pirate who is somewhat famous but not very powerful can just be the opponent of Huachang's first battle.

After several days of chasing, Huachang caught up with the other party by virtue of its hull advantage when it was still a little distance away from the capital.

After discovering the Huachang, the opponent once thought it was a competitor who had chosen the same prey, but unfortunately, the person who came was indeed a hunter, but the target was clearly himself.

Looking at the armed "early boat" in front of him, Spark ordered to open fire.

Because the opponent's hull was still to be captured, after two salvos, the Huachang stopped firing and leaned over.

After the pirate group was attacked, they thought they had encountered the Haiphong fleet.You must know that with their little firepower, they are not enough to look at in front of the opponent.If the other party continues, they will only end in shipwreck and death.As a result, just when they thought they were doomed, the other side stopped shelling.

"God Amaterasu blesses you! Little ones, lean on me and let them taste the power of the great master!"

As a result, this self-proclaimed uncle tragically ran into the Spark trio.

Everyone must have guessed the final outcome.Before some of Hua Chang's crew had time to board the enemy ship, the battle was over.The three of Spark were like chopping melons and chopping vegetables, and they killed more than a dozen people in an instant. In addition, more and more crew members of the Huachang came on board. Seeing the bad situation, the pirate group was very spineless chose to surrender.

Although what Spark said before was very straightforward, but when he could really pick up the butcher knife, he hesitated instead.

For these pirates, Spark really hates them, and thinks that each of them deserves death, so in the battle, Spark will never show mercy.But when these people surrendered, facing them who put down their weapons and did not resist, he couldn't be cruel again.But just as Spark said before, the Huachang really doesn't need prisoners.

Finally the problem was solved by James.He proposed to take these people to North Korea together, and then sell them into slaves through Spark's secret relationship.In this way, Spark doesn't have to worry about the leak of the Huachang ship's news, and doesn't need to kill the killer. He can also earn a certain amount of money, and let these scumbags spend the rest of their lives working hard to make up for their crimes, killing three birds with one stone ,Why not do it?

Just do what you say, and after Spark docked in the capital, he quickly packaged and sold it to his old relationship with people and boats.James also finished handling the merchandise.

The first battle was won, and many crew members of the Huachang finally understood the purpose of the trip.But because this was not much different from their previous work, and they didn't contribute much, but the rewards were quite a lot, which immediately made everyone's momentum explode.Judging from this posture, even if they are asked to sweep across the Japanese sea at this time, they will not hesitate.

After all matters were dealt with, the Huachang sailed to Nagasaki again.

In just three months, six small and medium-sized pirate groups have completely disappeared from the eyes of the world.Some say they were cursed by Kaibozu, some say they died in a shipwreck, but more people secretly point the finger at the Kuroshima family.

Because during this period of time, it happened that the Lai Dao family was integrating large and small pirate forces, and there were indeed cases of annexation by force during this period.Many small and medium-sized pirate forces dared not speak out, and people panicked for a while.

But at this moment, Suo Jing Lai Dao was also quite upset. She somehow took the blame for others, and even caused twists and turns in the reorganization that should have been done before.Many small and medium-sized forces have secretly chosen to unite against each other, and they are ready to fight the Laidao family to the death.

In fact, Lai Dao really didn't pay attention to their few broken ships.Since acquiring six ironclad ships successively, the reputation of the Lai Dao family has been unparalleled.Even Nagasaki's daimyo, who has always had his eyes above his head, offered him an olive branch.

For this opportunity, Lai Dao valued it far more than others imagined.

In fact, before coming to the island, he was also a retainer of a weak daimyo. Later, because of the daimyo's loss of power, he was forced to make a living as a pirate.After the daimyo was unfortunately killed in a naval battle, Kashima appeared to be the leader of the fleet, but he also lost the chance to recover his identity.From a vassal and samurai to a pirate leader, Lai Dao couldn't accept it at all.

For so many years, Lai Dao has actually been looking for a chance to restore his identity, but what is the use of a warrior who can't even protect his own lord!
Laishima was extremely depressed for a time, and even planned to give up on himself, but Amaterasu didn't seem to give up on him, and extended a helping hand to him.

In an operation to rescue shipwrecked personnel, Lai Dao originally wanted to earn some money from a few people, but unexpectedly rescued a shipbuilder who claimed to be a shipbuilder who had sought refuge at sea due to the war in the Ming and Yuan Dynasties.This eloquent guy even claimed to be able to build ironclad ships.Laishima wanted to kill this guy casually, but suddenly realized that this might be his chance to rise again.

With a skeptical attitude, Laishima gritted his teeth, and reluctantly took out most of his family property to secretly build the legendary ironclad ship.It turned out to be a success!This made Laishima ecstatic.

Unable to come out of the island, because of the birth of the ironclad ship, the island once again entered the eyes of many forces.This time, he came to the island and became a favorite. He chose to sell it for a price, and ate the overt and covert support from those forces. At the same time, he launched a frenzied plunder on the coastal waters of North Korea and the Ming Dynasty.

After that, Kuishima did not hesitate to throw all the crazy gains over the years on the shipbuilder.This also resulted in the shock when the five ironclad ships were born together!
This time, the daimyos no longer cared about their reserve, and there was an endless stream of visitors to the island's house.And the shot of a heavyweight daimyo who occupies the area of ​​​​Nagasaki made Kuijima return to his heart.Not everyone can give the position of the future navy general.

Lai Dao knows that all his hard-earned things are thanks to the six iron-clad ships, if people find out...

Since the capital to make a fortune is sufficient, it will be a disaster to keep the shipwright sooner or later.Lai Dao simply did nothing and kept on killing all those who secretly participated in the shipbuilding.

Nowadays, coming to the island seems to be integrating the power of pirates, but it is actually laying the foundation for his future navy.Therefore, Kuijima will not let go of anyone who dares to interfere in this matter.

All of a sudden, many spies under Laijima's banner and even Nagasaki Daimyo's banner all took action.

　Chunjun is here to wish everyone a happy new year.

　　I wish you all a new year of wealth, good health, and happiness for your family.
