Daming pirates

Obviously Captain Liu made this determination a little late. Yu Xiaotian lay on the side of the ship and saw that the pirate ship was only more than a mile away from them, and he could almost see the faces of the people on the ship.

.

From a distance, you can see that the pirate ship is crowded with people. The pirate ship is not big, but it looks like there must be at least twenty or thirty people on board. In terms of number, the pirates have already doubled the number of people on their ship.

Each of the pirates seemed to be holding a variety of weapons in their hands. It was obvious that the opponent's combat effectiveness was much greater than that of their ship.

Yu Xiaotian looked far into the distance, observing the pirates. However, after seeing what these pirates were wearing, Yu Xiaotian had a feeling of ridicule. It was obvious that these pirates did not understand the aesthetics of clothing, and they had no sense of uniform clothing.

Some people were wearing ordinary rags, while others were wearing brocade robes with bare hairy thighs. Some pirates even wore clothes that looked like women's clothes, dressed up in a flashy way.

It's just like the actors in an opera, it's really ridiculous. In short, their clothes are obviously what they wear. As for whether they look good or not, it is not their concern.

Seeing the distance between the two ships getting closer and closer, this group of pirates became more interested. They lay on the side of the ship one by one, waving various weapons in their hands, and yelled at the pirate ship from a distance. The sound was quite scary.

, as if they were sure of the boat.

As the Liu family's ship turned, the pirate ship, which was originally on the left and rear of the Liu family's ship, began to quickly adjust its sails and rudder, taking advantage of this opportunity to cut into the left side of their ship. In this way, in a short time

Within a short period of time, the distance between the ship and Yu Xiaotian's ship was even closer. In addition, the pirate ship was already faster. In a short time, the pirate ship was close to the Liu family's ship, which was three hundred meters away.

At a distance of about meters, the pirates' curses and threats could now be clearly heard on their ship.

"Listen, you guys! Hurry up and lower the sails and stop the ship. I'm looking for wealth rather than life. As long as the cargo doesn't kill people, you can't escape! You'd better stop the ship! If you don't eat the toast and drink the fine wine, you dare not listen to me anymore.

, be careful if the old men catch up with you, they will kill you to death!..." The pirate with a loud voice opened his voice like a broken gong and began to yell at the Liu family ship.

The people on the Liu family's ship were a little panicked now. They were still quite far away from the coast. They would definitely not be able to escape today, but once the sails were dropped and the ship stopped, their fate would be completely in the hands of these pirates.

In his hands, the ship owner surnamed Liu felt sorry for the cargo on his ship. After thinking about it for a moment, he gritted his teeth and stood at the stern of the ship, put his hands to his mouth, and shouted to the pirate ship that was catching up: "I don't know."

What kind of hero are you on? I am passing by here. I don’t know what heroes are doing here. I failed to take care of it in advance. I have made many mistakes. I hope you can forgive me!

We are a small business and it is not easy to make a living. I have troubled you all today and I have prepared fifty taels of silver to treat all of you heroes to a glass of water and wine. I hope that the heroes will show their respect and put it on the next journey."

When Yu Xiaotian heard the shouts of the ship owner named Liu, he was both angry and amused. He secretly thought that this kind of thing still exists on the sea. When encountering pirates, you can actually negotiate and pay to buy your way!

In fact, Yu Xiaotian didn't know that this kind of thing was actually very common in this era. In fact, pirates were not necessarily all evil people. Many of them were forced to take risks and went to sea to become pirates because of their livelihood. Generally speaking, as long as they didn't encounter extremely evil people,

There are many pirates who will not kill people and steal goods. Most of the time, they don't want to go all out and scare the people on the hijacked merchant ships and resist with their lives. You must know that once they forcefully rob the ship, the merchant ships generally will not

It will be given for free, and it has a certain degree of resistance. After a real fight, it is inevitable that the pirates will be injured. This life is their own, and everyone wants to live a few more days.

So under normal circumstances, if the owner of the merchant ship being overtaken takes the initiative to show weakness and is willing to give some money to the pirates as payment for passage, the pirates will generally be happy to take the money and leave, which is a happy thing for both parties.

The pirates can get a certain amount of money without taking greater risks, and the ship owner can also save the ship's cargo and life. Therefore, Captain Liu just proposed to pay fifty taels of silver to buy a road and ask the pirates to take the money and leave. It is not a fantasy.

It's a convention adopted.

But the answers from the pirates who came after him completely disappointed Captain Liu. He could only hear one of the pirates yelling at the top of his lungs: "I am the third boss under Hai Yaozi! Today I am the leader."

I've been chasing you for a long time with my brothers, and you just want to send me away for fifty taels of silver! Couldn't you just send me away like a beggar?

Stop talking nonsense, I will lower the sails and stop the ship as soon as possible. I am in a good mood today. As long as I don’t kill you, I only want your ship and cargo and keep your lives! If you don’t stop the ship, I will

Don't blame me for being rude to you! I will kill you all in a while!"

The pirates' answer was tantamount to announcing that the negotiations had broken down. The pirates made it clear that they were going to take the ship and the cargo. It seemed that Captain Liu's previous condition of using fifty taels of silver to buy the road was not satisfactory to them.

For Captain Liu, there are only two options left. One is to follow the pirates' request, drop the sails and stop the ship, let them snatch the ship and the cargo, and then consider himself unlucky and leave his life to the pirates.

Put it on the nearest shore and go home!

The other way is to have a head-on fight with them. Once you are lucky, you can defeat several of the opponents after the fight, scare the pirates, and make them retreat and give up automatically. Then this is equivalent to winning today.

, they can leave the ship with the goods without losing the goods! But another consequence of this is that once they do this and fail to stop the pirates, the pirates will forcefully attack the ship.

They will kill everyone on board.

After hearing the pirate's answer, everyone on the ship immediately turned their attention to Captain Liu. Now it depends on Captain Liu's opinion whether to fight or surrender. To be honest, the people on the ship don't want to move in their hearts.

Seriously, neither the ship nor the goods belong to them, only their lives belong to them. If they surrender to the pirates, the loss will belong to the shipowner and it has nothing to do with them. At worst, the trip will be in vain, but at least their lives can be basically saved.

.

But once Captain Liu decided to take action, he would be incapable of fighting the pirates, and he would lose his life. It would be fine if he won, but if he lost, everyone would be doomed! So the boatmen on the ship would be dead.

, in my heart I am very willing that the ship owner will be a coward at this moment, stop the ship, surrender, lose money and eliminate disaster.

After hearing the pirate's answer, the captain Liu's face became even more ugly. He gritted his teeth and hesitated for a moment, his eyes rolled around, and his expression was very painful. He then carefully looked at the pirate ship he was catching up with.

, and finally gritted his teeth suddenly, his face became a little ferocious, and he seemed to have made up his mind.

He turned his head and reached out and pulled out a single knife. He held it tightly in his hand and cursed at the pirate with a livid face: "Bah! Giving someone a shameless thing is too much! I'm not a fool, you guys."

What do you want?

Brothers, we don’t believe in this evil now! Leave them alone, let’s keep going! We have cannons and blunderbuss on the ship, how can we be afraid of these rubes? If they dare to come close, I will shoot them to death! Ma Biao

, set up the cannon, and if they dare to come up later, they will give Yu a hard blow!

Liu treats you well on weekdays, and today is the time when I need you. As long as I can rush over, I, Liu, will not treat you badly! I will leave the fifty taels of silver here, Liu.

After it’s done, everyone will share it! It’s better than getting it cheap from these bastards!”

After hearing this, the people on the boat all looked ugly. What they expected was still in vain. Shopkeeper Liu seemed to be a bastard at the moment. He was determined to save the ship and the cargo and forced them to follow him.

The pirates tried their best. Although they were reluctant, they had no choice. Who asked them to be employed by Shopkeeper Liu and have to obey his orders in everything?

Fortunately, the man surnamed Liu was quite wise and offered a reward of fifty taels of silver in advance, indicating that if he could rush over today, the fifty taels of silver that he originally planned to buy the way would be divided among the people on the ship.

, In this way, together with the one tael of silver he promised each person at the beginning, everyone will still have varying amounts of silver to take after everything is accomplished, which can be regarded as mobilizing their morale to some extent.

There must be brave men under the heavy reward. After hearing this, Ma Biao immediately gritted his teeth and agreed. He hurriedly greeted a few of his men, moved the bowl-mouth blunderbuss at the stern of the ship, adjusted the blunderbuss, and always aimed at the boat.

The pirate ship gradually chased after him.

Yu Xiaotian cursed secretly in his heart again. There is a saying in this world that is true. People die for wealth and birds die for food. Captain Liu is a businessman who runs the sea. He values ​​this ship more than his life. He must be.

He can't let go of the boat he made his fortune on, and today he has made it clear that he wants to take a gamble. For him, this is not a good thing. He is just a passerby, and there is really no need to fight for this Liu, but the current situation is

He couldn't help himself anymore, he had to do it even if he didn't do it! Captain Liu refused to surrender, and he had no choice at all! Now he had to suffer all sorts of misfortunes! He was probably risking his life today.

, he also wants to give it a try!

When he saw Ma Biao and the others playing with the bowl-mouth gun at the stern, he subconsciously lowered his body and moved towards the middle of the ship, trying to stay as far away from the bowl-mouth gun as possible. Who knows if this thing fired?

Will it explode on the spot? He is still young now and does not want to become a martyr for Captain Liu who is not very kind-hearted right away, so it is better to stay away for safety.

Just when everyone was focusing on the pirate ship behind them, Liu Laoliu walked up to Yu Xiaotian at some point and quietly gave Yu Xiaotian a hand.
