Zongwu: Give you a chance and get a 10,000 times critical hit return!

She breathed sweetly, her eyes were charming, and she said, "Since I started practicing the Heavenly Demon Dance, I have never danced for any man. Your Highness, do you want to see it?"

Chapter 234 [Black Pearl] The first battle, the maritime power of the Song Dynasty cannot be violated by pirates!

Seabirds flying!

The blue waves are rolling!

Here, there is an endless sea, the sky is blue, and there are giant sea beasts spewing out thick water columns.

Zhao Shirong stood at the bow of the boat.

Feel the salty sea breeze.

Looking at the boundless world, a sense of pride arises in my heart.

Climb mountains often.

Always look at the vast ocean.

This person's mood will also become open.

"Shi Rong, there's something wrong with our route, right?"

rear.

Zhao Shizhen came over and asked the questions in his mind.

Zhao Wuxian's third uncle, Zhao Shizhen, also participated in the formation of the ocean-going merchant caravan.

He is responsible for contacting merchants and raising goods.

His ship also went out on this voyage.

A fleet of three Fu ships.

The ship was loaded with silk, porcelain, jade and other commodities.

It's just that it takes a few days to sail.

Zhao Shizhen had a vague feeling that something was not right.

Although he had been engaged in maritime trade before, traveling to Japan and neighboring small countries, he had never been to the Ming Dynasty.

But he also had some sailing experience and could determine the direction by relying on the sun, moon and stars in the sky.

This route.

It doesn't look like heading to Ming Dynasty.

Zhao Shirong turned around and said with a smile: "Uncle Shizhen, we are not going to the Ming Dynasty, but to the Five Mountains Kingdom!"

After she boarded the ship, for convenience, she simply disguised herself as a man. With her handsome appearance, she stood out from the crowd.

"Five Mountains Kingdom?"

Zhao Shizhen frowned and said, "Isn't that country closed to the sea?"

"Although the Five Mountains Kingdom is closed to the sea, there is still a port where we can dock."

"Besides, among the surrounding countries, only Wuyue Country is rich in grain and cheap!"

Zhao Shirong said: "This time, we are going to buy food!"

"It takes about seven or eight days to go back and forth, and it's just in time for the Chinese New Year!"

Zhao Shizhen suddenly realized and worriedly said, "But what about the Shipping Trade Guild? Those guys are not simple!"

Zhao Shizhen often sailed on sea vessels and had frequent dealings with shipping trade guilds.

Although he was not a member of the Ship Trade Guild, he had to pay the Ship Trade Guild every time he made a trip to ensure his safety.

Otherwise the workers at the dock will not unload the goods.

Even the dock officials and the Maritime Customs would cause trouble for him.

This is also the current situation of many small boat owners.

Don't say what you dare not say.

It’s not allowed to be angry.

The shipping guilds, the Maritime Customs, the dock officers, and the government officials have long formed a huge interest group.

The Shipping Trade Guild is only the surface of this interest group.

Let’s explore it in more depth.

These are some things that people are reluctant to talk about.

Zhao Shirong looked at the sea with cold eyes and said, "Every one of these people should be killed!"

She used to be a noble lady in the royal palace, and she was exposed to the prosperity and wealth of the Song Dynasty.

All this prosperity was brought about by the development of commerce, and the status of merchants in the Song Dynasty was much higher than that in other dynasties.

But now.

But she saw the serious drawbacks of unregulated business.

Businessmen pursue profit.

As long as there is benefit.

They dared to disobey and even trample on the law.

Unbridled and brutal expansion.

The Shipping Trade Guild was just the tip of the iceberg of the Song Dynasty, but it was enough to shock Zhao Shirong.

Collude with officials and deceive superiors and subordinates.

Even to Tongliao, Jin and other countries, smuggling and selling contraband items.

The present Song Dynasty.

It seems to be a strong and prosperous country.

But in Zhao Shirong's opinion.

The Song Dynasty has reached the brink of collapse.

If a thorough reform is not carried out, the Song Dynasty will probably perish.

And Zhao Wuxian is her kindred spirit.

Before Zhao Shirong chose to join the Jingguo Mansion.

Had a detailed conversation with Zhao Wuxian all night long.

Analyze various aspects of the Song Dynasty.

Their goals and ideas are basically the same, and Zhao Wuxian has already demonstrated his talent and strength.

All I have to do is assist him.

That guy, what is he doing at this moment?

Zhao Shirong's mood was like the ups and downs of the sea, and she inexplicably felt a sense of longing.

"Ding Dong!"

"Ding Dong!"

Suddenly, the lookout on the pilot boat climbed up the mast and rang the bell.

"An unidentified ship appeared in the distance!"

"pirate!"

"It's a pirate!"

the crew exclaimed.

The crews on the three ships panicked.

pirate?

Zhao Shizhen took two steps forward, put his hands on the railing of the boat, and looked into the distance, only to see black dots emerging.

"One, two..."

"Hiss! So many pirate ships!"

Zhao Shizhen swallowed his saliva, trembled all over, and his hands and feet were cold.

As far as his eyes can see.

Ships of all sizes, flying pirate flags, appeared like evil spirits jumping out of the sea.

He had been sailing for more than ten years, and this was the first time he encountered so many pirates.

Is this still a pirate?

Already a navy, right?

According to preliminary estimates, there are no less than twenty ships.

Among them, there is a flat-bottomed treasure ship from the Ming Dynasty. Its broad hull looks like a giant on the sea.

Before the maritime ban, the Ming Dynasty was a maritime power. Zheng He visited the Ming Dynasty seven times and traveled to all the major dynasties in the nine provinces.

The flagship treasure ship he rode on shocked hundreds of nations.

It also sparked a shipbuilding craze in the Qin Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty's treasure ships became famous because of this.

"What should I do?"

Zhao Shizhen's scalp tingled.

"Turn the rudder, turn the rudder quickly!"

Zhao Shirong said calmly: "It's too late!"

"Ok?"
