The bottom of this boat is pointed, the bow is like a scissors, the cabin is very narrow, but the boat is long and slender, and it looks completely different from ordinary boats.

On such a small ship, Su Ze actually designed three sets of masts.

"What kind of ship is this?"

Lin Mojun has also been sailing on the sea for many years and has never seen such a ship.

Lin Xianzong said: "You haven't seen it before, right? The boat in Mr. Su's picture is too funny. This kind of boat can't sail at all."

Su Ze said: "This thing is called a clipper ship. It can cut through the waves and travel thousands of miles in a day. It is a first-class fast ship. We only need to build a few such ships, and we can rush into the Japanese pirates' warships and detonate gunpowder.

.”

"I have never seen a ship like this, and I have never seen a blueprint like this. This kind of ship cannot be said to sail on the ocean, and it cannot withstand the wind and waves in the near sea."

The two couldn't argue, but Lin Mojun finally chose to support Su Ze.

She said: "Uncle Xianzong, why don't you let Mr. Su build one on a trial basis?"

When Lin Xianzong saw Lin Mojun also helping Su Ze, he said angrily: "I won't help!"

After saying this, Lin Xianzong left angrily.

For craftsmen like them, the family drawings are the classics that scholars follow, and there is no room for blasphemy.

Lin Mojun said: "Mr. Su, Uncle Xianzong is like this. Shipbuilding is related to the lives of the crew, so there is no room for any problems."

Su Ze nodded and said: "I built this boat to rush into the Japanese pirates faster. Since there is no need for people to control the boat, what's the harm in trying to build one?"

Seeing that Lin Mojun seemed to have something to say, Su Ze suppressed his anger and asked, "What's the matter with Baihu?"

Lin Mojun nodded and said: "Yesterday, I contacted the Keti nearby and got the latest news about the Japanese pirates from them."

"Ke Tie?"

Lin Mojun finally saw that Su Ze had something unknown to her. She showed a hint of cunning and said:

"I didn't expect that Mr. Su also had something he didn't know about."

However, Lin Mojun did not sell out, but explained:

"These Keti live on boats and are said to be descendants of Yuan Meng. Because they often live on boats, they often sit cross-legged in the cabin with their knees bent and their feet bent, hence the name."

Su Ze suddenly realized that they were from the Dan family.

The Dan family are people who live on boats. They usually live in the lower reaches of the Pearl River. I didn't expect that there are such boat people in Fujian.

Lin Mojun continued: "These Keti are well-informed at sea. They have received favors from me before, so I asked them for information, and sure enough I found out the movements of King Lu."

"how?"

Lin Mojun said seriously: "It's not good."

"The Deer King has landed on Dong'ao Island."

This Dong'ao Island is not the small island near Zhuhai, but a large island in the sea east of Fuzhou.

This island is huge, with fresh water and forests. In the early Ming Dynasty, beacon towers and fortresses were built on this island.

Later, life on the island became really difficult, and the Fujian Dusi Yamen felt that such a group of officers and soldiers stationed overseas might participate in smuggling or rebellion, so they simply withdrew the garrison on Dong'ao Island to the mainland.

After losing Dong'ao Island, every time Japanese pirates invaded Fujian, they would station themselves on this island and use this island as a stronghold to attack coastal towns.

"Dong'ao Island is only two days' voyage from Fuzhou Prefecture, and only three days' voyage from our Changning Guard. Now all the coastal guard stations dare not go to war, and the Japanese pirates wantonly plunder the people along the coast."

Lin Mojun's face showed an expression of intolerance. The people in Fujian were really suffering.

That is to say, when Zhu Wan was the governor, there were no Japanese pirates. In recent years, Japanese pirates invaded the sea every year, and the people along the coast were robbed by Japanese pirates every year.

Hearing that the Japanese pirates had arrived at Dong'ao Island, Su Ze felt heavy.

The Ming Dynasty's coastal defense was also outrageous. There were no troops stationed on such an important island, so it was easily handed over to the Japanese pirates.

With fresh water and supplies, King Lu could harass the coast at any time, but Fujian's navy did not dare to go to war and was blocked at the port by Japanese pirates.

"I heard that King Lu has issued an order to form a blood alliance on Dong'ao Island in early September and summon Japanese pirates from other factions to land in Fujian."

Lu Dawang is just a branch of the Japanese pirates. He is now blocking the Fujian navy at home. The other Japanese pirates are like sharks smelling blood, and they are gathering in Fujian.

Bad news always comes one after another. On August 24, Shaxian County under the Yanping Prefecture asked Nanping for help. A group of Japanese pirates from the direction of Jianyang had already arrived at the foot of Shaxian County.

This kind of Japanese pirates originally only numbered about 30 real Japanese, but along the way they attracted bandits from all walks of life to rebel, and first robbed a salt farm.

This salt field was the salt field of Zhu Qi and his friends. The salt workers were oppressed by the eunuchs of the salt road, so they simply killed the eunuchs guarding the salt field and followed the Japanese pirates to the county town.

When Su Ze heard the news, he had mixed feelings. In such a chaotic world, human nature has blurred the boundaries, leaving only invincible hatred and fighting.

When Zhu Qi heard the news, his face turned red and he said to Su Ze: "Ms. Su, I'm going to bring back those who killed a thousand people!"

Xiong Wu said from the side: "Brother Zhu, you also surrendered to the Japanese."

Zhu Qi blushed: "I didn't vote for the real Japanese! Besides, I didn't do anything harmful to nature. My husband, I have some reputation among the saltmen. I will go and bring them back! Don't follow the Japanese pirates to harm the villagers!"

Su Ze naturally did not agree to Zhu Qi's request. Less than two days later, Lin Xianyang returned to Changningwei from the prefect's Yamen and brought a souvenir from the prefect.
