Chapter 185

As we were about to enter Hangzhou Bay, Wang Hai's ship stopped on an island of Daishan. (.) At this time of the Ming Dynasty, the sea was forbidden. In order to cover up, everyone had to transfer to some small fishing boats here and pretend to be fishermen to enter Hangzhou Bay. Although the sea ban includes the prohibition of going out to sea to catch fish, many fishermen will actually take risks to go out to sea. Ordinary navy, as long as they pay a certain fee to handle the points, they will not pay too much attention. Their targets are those large merchant ships.

As soon as he stepped onto the island, he saw several fishermen returning from fishing. When he saw strangers coming, he just glanced at them casually and then quickly left. Wang Hai seemed to be used to this and kept looking forward with his head down. Zhengliang originally wanted to ask where this place was, but why did these people look a little strange. Seeing that Wang Hai didn't say anything, he had to continue walking forward.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, I finally saw a building that seemed to be a military camp in front of me, which looked a little old. There was no one at the door at the door. When I walked in, it was empty inside and I didn't even see a ghost. Is this really a military camp? Zhengliang couldn't help but mutter in his heart. But the arrangement around him was obviously a military camp unique to the Ming Dynasty.

Without saying a word, Zhengliang followed Wang Hai all the way inside. The three close servants behind him were dressed up as fishermen, observing the situation around him with caution. After walking dozens of steps, turning a corner, he finally saw a guy tidying up fishing gear appeared in the open space in front.

"Old Zhang, you are indeed here." Wang Hai obviously knew this person, so Li Yuan shouted.

"Old Wang, are you back so soon?" The other party raised his head when he heard the sound. After seeing Wang Hai, he quickly stood up and greeted him, "What good things have you brought here this time?"

"Haha, Brother Bao, you're satisfied," Wang Hai laughed. The two finally got together.

"Hurry, take it and take a look." The other party obviously cared more about what Wang Hai said, and hurriedly looked at a wooden box carried by Wang Hai and his men. Even Zhengliang and others behind Wang Hai did not take a look.

"Brothers, open the things for Brother Zhang to see." Wang Hai was not pretentious and immediately greeted several subordinates.

Wang Hai's men immediately carried the wooden box over and opened it at the same time. A wave of white light suddenly came out from inside. Zhengliang calmed down and saw that it was clear that it was the silver that was brought back from the Riben. Below the silver were some unique specialties of the Riben.

"Okay, okay, okay" After seeing the object in the box, the other party immediately walked to the box in two steps. He picked up a piece of silver and rubbed it carefully, and at the same time, he made a sound of satisfaction from time to time on his mouth.

"Hahaha, Lao Zhang, what I promised last time has been offered now. I don't know..." Wang Hai said with a laugh at this time.

"Oh, look, brother, I almost forgot about you. There is no way. Everyone wants to eat. Brother, you just let those guys have some food." The other party was obviously awakened by Wang Hai, and immediately smiled. "As for what I asked for, it's still the same rule."

"Okay, since Lao Zhang said that, I'll ask. There are still important things to do when I go back this time. I wonder if I can arrange it today?" Wang Hai bowed.

"It's easy to say." The other party was also very generous, "Lao Qi. You damn guy, come here quickly."

Before he finished speaking, a thin man came out of a small wooden house. It was obvious that the person who came was the "Lao Qi" that Lao Zhang called.

"Sir, what are your instructions?" Lao Qi came to Lao Zhang and said respectfully.

"Take a few adults down, arrange a few boats for them, and send them to Hangzhou Bay," Lao Zhang ordered.

"Yes, sir, little guy will go right away." After Lao Qi saluted Lao Zhang, he turned around and said to Wang Hai and others, "Several people, please follow me." After that, he took the lead and walked out.

Wang Hai bowed to Lao Zhang, who had already begun to count the objects in the wooden box alone, and then followed Lao Qi first. Zhengliang and others followed him closely. Zhengliang could see that Wang Hai and this group of people were old acquaintances.

The group soon arrived at a small pier. There were more than a dozen small fishing boats docked there. Lao Zhang greeted several fishermen who looked like fishermen at the pier, then bowed to the people in Wang Haizhong, as a farewell, and then left alone.

After saying goodbye, Wang Hai was not polite, and asked everyone to walk to one of the small boats first, and then jumped onto the boat. Zhengliang also jumped onto the boat. After everyone got on board, a total of three small boats began to go to the place where Wang Hai's ship was docked, where the cargo on the boat was also needed to transport the ship to these small boats.

"Brother Wang Hai. Just now?" Seeing that the ship finally left the shore, Zhengliang finally endured the question in his heart and asked Wang Hai.

"They are from the garrison," Wang Hai whispered.

"Ah?" Zhengliang couldn't help but let out a low cry.

"Haha, this island is so poor that birds don't lay eggs. How can they eat if they don't do this?" Wang Hai said.

"But..." Zhengliang originally wanted to say that they were officers and soldiers, and they should be supervisors of maritime bans. Why do they seem to be the insider to assist in smuggling now? But then he thought about it, this seemed to be a normal thing. Such things would happen in that era, but he still didn't understand something, so he changed his words and asked temporarily, "The court will always pay the silver to them?"

"Hahaha" Wang Hai couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and then said to Zhengliang, "If they could receive the salary, there would really be no chance for us. On the wild island that stayed here, there would be someone who would pay attention to them, let alone those salary that were often deducted. Brother Zhang just now was just a small general flag, and even if he was delayed, no one would take it seriously."

Zhengliang became silent after hearing this. Yes, it wasn't that they were willing to do this, who made the people above not live? They had to find a way out on their own.

After leaving nothing to say, Wang Hai's original ship's supplies to the boat, leaving a part of it to stay, Wang Hai, Zhengliang and others continued to take the boat toward Hangzhou Bay.

Soon, a trumpet-shaped bay appeared in front of you. Is this Hangzhou Bay? Looking at the reputation of the Qiantang River, I couldn't help but think a lot. According to records, Hangzhou Bay is a trumpet-shaped bay due to the injection of Qiantang River. The bay mouth is about 95 kilometers wide, and the Haining area is only 3 kilometers wide and an area of ​​about 5,200 square kilometers. From Zhapu to Cangqian, a huge Shakan (South) formed underwater from Qibao to Wenjiayan, a 130 kilometers long, about 27 kilometers wide and about 20 meters thick. There is a huge erosion groove on the coastal seabed between Jinshanwei and Zhapu on the north side, with the deepest being about 40 meters. The landform at the bottom of the bay and the trumpet-shaped characteristics of the bay often cause cháo or surges here.

"Please note that there is a navy ship in front of you. Just as Zhengliang was thinking, a pre-jing came from the front. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
