Chapter 178: Finding the Pirate's Nest

Wang Pu's eyes flew over Scarface, Zhao Xin and Tang Sheng, and asked in a deep voice: "How familiar are the soldiers of the Firearms, Spears, and Bailouts?"

After more than 10,000 elite soldiers from Datong arrived in Nanjing, in order to find something for them to do, it was indeed out of need that Wang Pu once ordered the soldiers of the army to be familiar with their habits.

Scarface and Tang Sheng looked embarrassed.

Zhao Xin took a step forward and whispered: "General, the brothers are all northerners and are not familiar with water. In addition, it was cold for a while, and the brothers could not get into the water, so they had not learned to float, but most of the brothers were no longer seasick."

"Yes." Wang Pu nodded and said, "Tang Sheng."

Tang Sheng quickly stepped forward, and hit his chest with his right fist and replied: "I am here."

Wang Pu said: "Immediately, order five hundred elite troops, and set off overnight with the general and rushed to Zhenhaiwei."

Tang Sheng replied loudly: "Yes."

Zhen Youcai said: "General, I will go with you."

"No need." Wang Pu raised his hand and said, "It is more important to rebuild the weapons workshop and the Gunpowder Bureau. You should stay in Nanjing, let alone this time it is a water battle, and the main force is Huang Degong's navy."

Zhen Youcai clasped his fists and replied: "I am obedient."

Wang Pu said to Scarface and Zhao Xin again: "You two, hurry up and make your brothers familiar with the nature of water. What's wrong with the cold weather? Can you freeze people to death if you are cold? Tell your brothers that as long as you learn how to swim, each person will be rewarded with one tael of silver, and the first hundred brothers who will learn how to learn will each receive ten taels of silver!"

Scarface and Zhao Xin urgently stepped forward and replied: "Yes!"

Wang Pu waved his hand and said, "Go."

Zhen Youcai and the other two bowed and turned around.

Watching the three of them leave, Wang Pu shouted: "Ten Mom."

"exist."

"Putting some clothes."

"yes."

"Lu Liu."

"exist."

“Get the guards right away.”

"yes."

"Mr. Prince Consort, have you forgotten the little girl?"

As Lu Liu finished speaking, a soft voice suddenly came in from outside the door. Then a graceful figure walked in. Wang Pu, Lu Liu and Neng Niang looked closely and saw who else was not the leader of the White Lotus Sect. The little girl, the young lady, snorted and pouted her mouth to go into the back tent to make some luggage.

Wang Pu waved his hand, and Lu Liu turned around and went.

The White Lotus Sect Leader squinted Wang Pu charmingly and said coquettishly: "Little villain, are you really not going to take your sister to the battle?"

"Cough." Wang Pu scratched his head and said, "This... according to law, no female family is allowed in the army."

"Is that right?" The leader of the White Lotus Sect glanced at the back tent and asked, "That rude little girl is also a female family member, why can she follow you?"

Wang Pu smiled bitterly and said, "This, she is dressed as a man in the army."

"Sister can also dress up as a man." Bailian leader said charmingly, "And sister loves people more than that little girl. You are not moved at all? If you bring your sister with you, there will be unexpected benefits, giggle..."

When he said the last sentence, the tone and expression of the White Lotus Sect Master had become extremely ambiguous.

Wang Pu was moved. If you want to talk about the skills of charming people, there is probably no other woman in the world who can compare with this witch. Wang Pu is neither eunuch nor Liu Xiahui. He is a man with normal physiology and no problem with sexual orientation. Of course, he can't stand this naked temptation.

The White Lotus Sect Leader blinked his big, seductive eyes and said in a charming voice: "What do you think? Little Bad guy."

"Okay!" Wang Pu thought for a while and said decisively. "Sister, please go with me!"

Half a month later, Donghai.

The wind was high and the waves were harsh. Wang Pu and Huang Degong led two three-masted gunships, fifteen No. 1 blessed ships and thirty-six No. 2 blessed ships sailed on the vast sea.

The three-masted gunship and blessed ship are both spinning boats. The advantage of spinning boats is that they can sail down the wind and sail against the wind, and can also control the fleet's navigation speed by controlling the windward angle of the sails. Of course, sailing boats are sailing boats after all. No matter how fast the sailing boats in this era are, they are only seven or eight knots, and there is no way to compare with modern land ships.

On the observation platform of one of the three-masted gunships, Huang Degong and Wang Puzheng held a monocular telescope in hand to search the vast ocean in front of them. As early as the Wanli period, the Western world had invented the telescope, and this kind of telescope was quickly applied to the military. During the Apocalypse period, the monocular telescope used by the Western Navy began to be introduced to the Ming Dynasty.

Huang Degong said: "General, have you seen the island in front of you?"

Wang Pu said: "I saw it."

Huang Degong said: "Judged from the direction provided by the inside line, Gu Sanmazi's nest should be the island in front."

Wang Pu did not tell Huang Degong the entire story of the White Lotus Sect, but only said that Gu Sanmazi had his inner support, so Huang Degong certainly believed it.

"Yes." Wang Pu nodded, "It should be."

Huang Degong put away his monocular lens and said in a deep voice: "General, it's time for Bei Zhi to go to the command cabin. This is already Gu Sanmazi's sphere of influence. We may be subject to sudden attacks from pirates at any time."

Wang Pu said: "Well, you go quickly."

Huang Degong bowed with his fist, turned around and walked away.

Wang Pu also put away his monocular lens and turned slowly. Not far behind him were the leader of the White Lotus Sect and the Neng Niang, but now they were all wearing military uniforms and looked heroic. Wang Pu nodded gently to signal the leader of the White Lotus Sect and went over. The leader of the White Lotus Sect also deliberately turned his head and glanced at the Neng Niang like a demonstration.

The young lady rolled her eyes and snorted and looked at him.

The White Lotus leader twisted his waist and walked to Wang Pu, deliberately approaching Wang Pu. He asked in a nickname: "Little villain, do you have anything to say to his sister?"

Wang Pu whispered: "Sister, if a war starts later, the shells will not have eyes. Can you send a message to your respondent and ask him to find a way to protect Miss Xiaowan?"

The White Lotus Sect Master gave Wang Pu a blank look and said unhappily: "That little girl is that important to you?"

Wang Pu frowned and said, "I'm talking to you about the serious business."

"Oh." The White Lotus Sect Leader suddenly showed a grievance that was about to cry and said quietly. "Are you angry now? My sister didn't say she wouldn't help you, look at it and feels sorry for you..."

Wang Pu was bothered and coaxed, and he only felt that one of his head was bigger than two.

"Don't worry." Seeing Wang Pu scratching his head, Bailian leader couldn't help laughing. He said in a nickname, "Sister has already handed in the news, so don't worry, no matter how fierce the battle outside is, I promise that I won't hurt your delicate little beauty."

Deep in the archipelago, on a larger island.

There was a house hidden in the dense jungle, in one of which was Gu Sanmazi, barefoot Zhang San and Hou Fangyu, Mao Pijiang and more than a dozen pirate leaders were eating meat and drinking in large bowls.

Gu Sanmazi walked to Hou Fangyu and Mao Pijiang with a wine bowl and shouted: "Two brothers, from now on, we will be brothers on the same boat. Don't think about returning to the Ming Dynasty. Youdao will be a thief for the whole day. The Ming Dynasty and Chongzhen children can no longer tolerate you!"

Hou Fangyu and Mao Pijiang quickly picked up the wine bowl and replied.

Gu Sanmazi patted Mao Pijiang on the shoulder again and said, "Do it well, brother won't treat you badly."

"Yes." Mao Pijiang responded, "I don't know if I say it or not?"

Gu Sanmazi said: "If you have something to say, just say it."

Mao Pijiang said: "It's the girl Xiaowan who was stolen from Nanjing. I hope the boss can hand her over to the locals for disposal."

"Dispose?" Gu Sanmazi said, "What else can I do? That sister of the kiln is yours. The elder brother will make the decision. I will fulfill your family for you tonight, and the brothers on the island will take this opportunity to have fun."

"Oh no. No no no." Mao Pijiang shook his head repeatedly, "The boss doesn't know anything. I will never do anything that can force others. I want to do not just the body of Miss Xiaowan, but I also want her heart, so I ask the boss to agree to leave her to the boss."

"Oh, do you want to get both physically and mentally?" Gu Sanmazi said, "Okay, my brother promised you, and I'll leave this little girl to you."

Mao Pijiang couldn't help but say, "Thank you, the boss."

Gu Sanmazi said, "But brother, can you tell me what tricks can you use to capture the little girl's heart?"

"Well..." Mao Pijiang smiled strangely, "The boss will naturally know when the time comes."

"Report..." Suddenly, a pirate stepped inside quickly and said with his fists, "The boss, the news came from the north island that a large group of officials and naval troops were approaching!"

"What!?" Gu Sanmazi frowned, "Official Navy?"

Zhang San stood up barefoot and shouted, "How many ships are there?"

The pirate replied: "There are more than fifty warships of all sizes and sizes, and there are also..."

Gu Sanmazi shouted, "What else?"

The pirate said: "There are two three-masted gunships!"

"What? The three-masted gunship!" Gu Sanmazi changed his face in an instant and said in a deep voice, "Is even the three-masted gunship moving? This thing hasn't been seen for many years."

"The boss." Zhang San said barefootly, "The official navy is not necessarily for us, or it may just be passing by. After all, this island is just a deserted island where birds are not laying eggs. The Ming navy has not discovered it for so many years, so it may not be discovered this time, right?"

"Well, the second brother's analysis makes sense." Gu Sanmazi shouted, "Send the order and let the brothers and all the boats of all sizes hide in the Laolong Cave. Don't go out and wander around if you have nothing to do. Then send someone Qiao Zhuang fisherman to inquire about the truth and return it immediately when there is a definite news."

"yes."

The pirate responded with a loud promise and took the order.

The navy fleet led by Huang Degong had slowly sailed into the archipelago. Looking around, there were islands of all sizes, the smallest one was only as big as a three-masted gunship, and the largest land was only a dozen miles in radius. The island was covered with trees and wormwood was like a tent, not like a trace of people at all.

Wang Pu had returned to Huang Degong's command cabin. While searching through the observation hole with a monocular telescope, he asked, "General Huang Shen, what archipelago is this?"

Huang Degong said: "General, this is the Dayangshan Islands, there are more than 300 islands of all sizes!"

"More than three hundred?" Wang Pu's brows frowned and asked, "Are there any fishermen living on the island?"

"No." Huang Degong shook his head, "These are all desert islands."

Wang Pu scolded, "If it weren't for the introductory guidance, it would be really not easy to find Gu Sanmazi's nest."
