When the ship is far away, it looks small, but it's different when the ship comes in close.
The sails of the big ship are also big, and all the sails that are pulled up are swayed by the wind, walking along the zigzag route, and the one from the left to the right will soon overtake them.
Sailing yachts are all sails.
Regardless of the wind direction, the sailing boat can adjust the angle of the sail and the wind according to the wind direction so that the boat can borrow the wind.
The specific cause of the Shang quake has not been studied, but he knows that the wind is coming from the east and the ship coming from the west is headwind.
In this case, the sailing boat must constantly adjust the angle of the sail to make a zigzag forward.
At this time, Shang Zhen saw that a flag was raised on the big ship that came over.
It was hard to see what business shock was painted on the flag, but when he looked back, he saw the flag hoisting on the small boat he was in.
This time the banner of Shang Zhen clearly saw it, but it was a tiger-headed flag.
The so-called tiger head flag is naturally a tiger head painted on the flag.
Shang Zhen had only seen tigers in books, and even if he had never seen tigers, he had seen cats.
It is enough to say that the tiger's head is hideous, but the word "king" on the tiger's head is very eye-catching.
When Shang Zhen turned around, he saw that the speed of the ship chasing him had slowed down.
The boat must slow down. If it doesn't slow down, the big boat can definitely crash their boat into pieces!
At this time, Shang Zhen also saw it clearly, but the ship that was chasing up rose up with a tiger's head flag.
"Bench." Xitang looked at Shang Zhen with some worry.
This matter is obvious. The meeting at sea is not like on land. Now the two fleets have raised their flags. Isn't this just communicating the flags to show their identities
And those big ships slowed down again, so it's not clear that they belong to the same group!
Xitang was also planning to kill the Japanese pirates with Shang Zhen.
Although they were chased by Jin Yiwei all the way from the northwest, they were very embarrassed, but they also deliberately did not kill a Jin Yiwei.
Just because Jin Yiwei is a Han Chinese.
But he didn't expect Han Wenmu to say that there are Han Chinese in the Japanese.
So what should we do? Should the Japanese pirates kill or not
It is impossible to say that only the Japanese pirates are killed, but the Han Chinese who are with the Japanese pirates do not kill it!
Shang Zhen looked back at Xitang without speaking, but instead looked at Han Wenmu.
"Wen Mu, if the Japanese pirates killed a lot of people, would you continue to sell or kill the Japanese pirates?" Shang Zhen asked.
Han Wenmu's face was still blushing without speaking.
Whoever changes this matter is also contradictory.
The whole family is selling smugglers, and smuggling would have to fight the court.
But the smugglers got entangled with the Japanese pirates again, and they also killed the common people.
How do you let him choose now
Just in the silence of Han Wenmu, Xitang suddenly said, "Look! Someone is tied to the mast!"
The big ship had already approached, and they naturally could see clearly.
This ship must be a Han Chinese ship.
There is a towering poop at the stern, and the sails are foldable when they need to be pulled up when they are not in use, and they fall down when not in use, and the mast is still promising.
The so-called lookout is to see farther, there is a small platform on which one person can stand on the mast as a lookout.
But now Shang Zhen, they could see clearly, but there was a person tied up under the gazebo above the mast.
The man's clothes had been torn to pieces and his body was stained with blood, and he was beaten at first glance.
Looking at the people standing at the bow of the ship, everyone, including Han Wenmu, was shocked.
Although there are people who wear Han costumes like them, a few of them are short in stature.
Although those people were wearing bamboo hats on their heads, they couldn't tell whether the hair on the top of their heads had been shaved.
However, other characteristics are completely consistent with Han Wenmu's description of the Japanese pirates.
He was short in stature, about a foot shorter than the average Han.
The upper body is wearing a long coat, but the lower body only wears a pair of pants, and the pants look like a "D"-shaped cloth belt!
This is the few guys standing facing Shang Zhen and them.
If they were standing with their backs to Shang Zhen, wouldn't those people be like bare butts
That's all, Shang Zhen especially noticed that one of those people was holding a bow.
Shang Zhen is a master of bows, and he found out that the bow is different from the Han Chinese bow.
The arch is about seven feet long, but it is longer than the long bow in the Han bow.
The shape of the bow is also different from the Han bow.
The bow used by the Han is a recurve bow.
That means that both ends of the upper and lower bow arms are bent outward, and the bowstring is tied to the places where the ends of the bow arms are bent.
If it is centered on the grip of the bow, the upper and lower sides of the bow arm are long, which is symmetrical.
However, the upper half of the arm of the dwarf's bow has a large arc and the lower half is small. In other words, the shape of this bow is not symmetrical.
In the past few days, Shang Zhen turned to Han Wenmu's books and saw such a bow.
Such bows and bows are unique to Ying people.
Since the arc of the upper half of the bow is different from the lower half of the bow, the grip of this bow is lower than the grip of the Han bow.
The grip position is lower, and the arrow is only one-third below the bow arm when the bow is shot.
All signs indicate that those dwarves must be Japanese pirates!
"I just read about the Japanese pirates, and the Japanese pirates are here!" Xitang murmured in a low voice.
At the same time, he looked behind the ship, Bai Yuchuan and Nazha were standing there next to the cabin.
Even Nazha took off the bow on his back, and obviously the two of them also found that something was wrong.
How to do
As Xitang said, the Japanese pirates had just been talking about the Japanese pirates, and the problem of whether to fight or not to fight was already in front of Shang Zhen and them.
At this time, the people on the boat were already greeting the people on their boat.
"Which family are you from?" someone shouted on the bow.
"Old Han from Dengzhou Mansion!" Han Wenmu's sixth uncle, who was also watching the boat at this time, hurriedly shouted.
"Han Laoliu, this is Wang Xian, so what kind of good stuff did you bring?" Someone on the bow of the ship already shouted again.
"Oh, Mr. Wang, I am polite to Han Laoliu!" Han Laoliu was busy holding his fists here, and the two sides obviously knew each other.
"If you want to save your uncle, I think it would be better to turn your face with the Japanese pirates and redeem your merits, or you can do it." Shang Zhen whispered while listening to the conversation on the other side.
"It's so easy to save." Han Wenmu finally said.
"But if you don't, you will probably have to be chased like a Japanese pirate, and industry officials in other places in your house will not be able to ignore it." Shang Zhen said again.
Han Wenmu had no idea in his mind, and could only continue to hang his head silently.
Han Wenmu was out to practice. He and his sixth uncle took a boat and ran away with a copper coin, but what about the Han family compound in Dengzhou Prefecture
There is no need to ask, for sure everyone has been arrested by the government.
It was impossible for Han Wenmu's sixth uncle and Han Wenmu to save.
What Shang Zhen said was to make Han Wen guilty and make meritorious deeds.
In fact, this statement of Shang Zhen is very reluctant.
The old Han family is a privateer, so how much credit can Han Wenmu do to save his uncle from the court
Things in reality are definitely more complicated than imagined.
Even if Han Wenmu is an otaku who doesn't understand the affairs of the world, he also feels that Shang Zhen's trick is inappropriate.
If they were not discovered by the government, he could naturally continue to be his otaku, ignoring the affairs of the world, and concentrating on reading only books.
But now it doesn't work anymore. After all, he has to face the choice.
