Rise From the Humble

The clouds in the sky are ever-changing, some turn into S shapes, and some turn into B shapes. As the dark clouds accumulate, the visibility on the sea gradually becomes lower.

There are several sharp-bottomed sea-going ships with worn-out white sails on the sea that cannot be seen by the fleet. The sea-going ships are not big. Each sea-going ship can accommodate about thirty to fifty people. In addition to the deck, there are two cabins on the ship. , there are also two rows of paddle boards on the side of the ship, which can be accelerated manually when necessary.

These ships hung far behind Zhu Ping'an's fleet, hiding in the waves like a poisonous snake preparing to attack its prey. Because the visibility was very low that day, and these small boats were not big, they were well hidden and did not reveal any traces.

These small boats staring at the fleet are "armed merchants" who are robbing families on the sea. Well, to be precise, they are pirates. These people call themselves armed merchants because they sell the things they steal to the Japanese, as if they are dumping goods. They call themselves "merchants" euphemistically, but in fact they are all pirates with a lot of crimes!

The pirates on the ship looked a little down and out, and there was a mix of people. Some were wearing Hanfu, and there were also many ronin wearing shabby island country clothes. They were chattering with the sound of birds, some were barefoot, and some were wearing clogs.

Among the pirates, there are also some people with crotch-headed bird sounds who don't wear any clothes at all, just wearing old and yellowed crotch cloth between their legs!

"This bunch of beasts are immoral." The shirtless pirates wearing Hanfu on the same ship glanced at these guys wearing crotch cloth and curled his lips in disdain.

"Dad, you don't understand. This crotch cloth is the best fabric in Japan. It absorbs sweat very well. We have never had hemorrhoids because of it." There is an island nation who wears a crotch and has a crotch. Ronin spoke broken Chinese and pointed at the yellowed crotch cloth with a proud look on his face.

"My surname is Di! I'm not your father!" The shirtless pirate was very unhappy. He reached out and slapped the ronin, "If I had sons like you, my ancestors would have to crawl out of their coffins. "

"Hi! Daddy." The ronin in the loincloth received a slap in the face, straightened his bow legs immediately, and cheered proudly.

The other island wanderers laughed and looked at this scene without feeling any dissatisfaction.

Among these pirates, the pirates of the Ming Dynasty occupied a dominant position. After all, the great pirate leaders who roamed the sea during this period were all from the Ming Dynasty; the status of pirates in island countries was quite different. Those pirates from the island country who wear samurai uniforms and have swords on their waists have a higher status. They have a similar status to the pirates of the Ming Dynasty. They are the backbone of the force. Some of them even have a higher status than many pirates of the Ming Dynasty. Most of these ronin who wear loincloths and don't have samurai swords are farmers who can't make it in the island country. They have low force value. In this industry where everything is based on strength, there is no doubt that their status is at the bottom.

The higher-status pirates of the island country take it for granted that their own people are being bullied. They are strength-minded. Whoever has a strong fist will do the right thing.

Many of these pirates with higher status are wandering samurai from the island country, which can be seen from their "Tsukiyo" hairstyles, clothing and waist swords.

Tsukiyo head, this is the exclusive hairstyle of island warriors. The so-called Tsukiyo head means that the scalp in front of the head is shaved and a high bun is tied on the back of the head.

The hairstyle of the island warriors was very ugly and awkward in the eyes of the Damin pirates, and they were even more contemptuous of the islanders. Barbarians are barbarians!

It is said that the reason why island warriors shave such ugly hairstyles is related to their status as warriors. When samurai had to fight for their governor on the battlefield, they usually put on their black hats and then put on their helmets, also known as kabutos. However, when they fought desperately on the battlefield, the hair on their heads became sweaty. It would often fall down and block the line of sight, causing someone to stab or chop the neck. Moreover, wearing a hat and helmet on the head would make it itchy due to the heat. Some clever samurai began to shave the piece of hair in front of their forehead to solve the problem. After asking some questions, it suddenly became popular and eventually became a unique hairstyle for samurai.

As pirates, the clothes of these samurai ronin were dirty, but the long swords on their waists were frequently wiped with cloth and maintained until they were shiny.

Among these pirate ships, one is larger than the others, and the pirates on it are more aggressive than those on other ships. There are more pirates in the Ming Dynasty, and fewer pirates in the island countries. This ship is the leader of this group of pirates. The ship is a pirate flagship.

At this moment, a wave of "miserable" cries of a Japanese girl came from the pirate flagship:

"One library~~One library~~It's nothing special~~"

"Ah, Suikuo, Delta, Delta~~Ya Miedie~~"

In addition to the screams of the Japanese women, there were also several curses from the Ming people, mixed with heavy breathing.

The other pirates on the flagship laughed and looked at the cabin where the sound came from, with hooligan looks on their faces, laughing and saying obscene words in groups of twos and threes.

"Haha, why do you think this devil girl screams so miserably?"

"You know what the heck, these devils are so horny. The more miserable they scream, the braver our family will be. When the time comes, we will give her more steamed buns, wine and meat."

"Give it back. This devil girl is so fat now. If you give it back, she will look like a pig, hahaha."

"You must be so satisfied. With that bastard Wang Zhi, the King of Hui, annexing our leader Chen, our family is so angry that we have to go it alone. It's not like you don't know how difficult our life is. How can we have such a person?" It would be good if the Japanese girl expelled the fire. Putting a cloth over her head would make a difference."

When these Ming pirates gathered together and talked nonsense, a wanderer from an island country who was guarding the cabin came over with a smile.

"Liu Sang, Zhao Sang, we are all brothers on the same ship. If you also want to spend the night with me kanayi (home), I will give you a discount, ten coppers. How about it?"

"Maybe this time you snatched the fat sheep and let me pick the things first." This island nation's wanderer started selling his kanayi, which meant that his wife was not ashamed but proud of it, with a smug look on his face.

Seeing the shameless face of the island nation's prodigal, several Ming pirates despised the prodigal. These barbarians were so shameless!

Then, with contempt, many pirates agreed that it would be a long journey, and it would be nice to listen to the screams of the Japs.

The pirates hanging far behind the fleet looked happy.
