    The merchant ship Qian Xiaoxing was on turned around and went back. On the red coral island, Lan Sha had taken control of the situation and arrested all Black Octopus's men. Moreover, several people who had just rushed into the room with Black Octopus had been hacked by Lan Sha.  The head was removed and hung on a tree for other pirates to see. If anyone dared to commit another crime again, the result would be the same.  .  .  As for the black octopus, Lansha asked people to search for him on the red coral island, but no trace of him was found. Later, he learned from other pirates that he might have been blown to death by Qian Xiaoxing on the bottom of the sea, so he ignored it.  Many of the pirates who returned to the shore were injured by explosives, and many sank to the bottom of the sea forever to feed fish. After counting, they lost about seventy or eighty people.  Lansha didn't see the scene of the explosion just now, but the pirates' descriptions they heard made him very skeptical about such a powerful weapon. Without seeing it with his own eyes, he really didn't believe it was so powerful.  The merchant ship returned to the harbor after a while. The area around the red coral island was very shallow and large merchant ships could not dock. They had to put down the small boats and row to the shore.  Qian Xiaoxing and others boarded four small boats to land. Hu Suoyuan was afraid that there was fraud among them, so he asked the soldiers of the guard company to bring all the explosives just in case.  After the boat docked, Lan Sha greeted him enthusiastically and said to Qian Xiaoxing: "General Qian, the attack on your boat just now was really a misunderstanding. No, it was me who failed to discipline my men and frightened you." "I  "I'm not scared." Qian Xiaoxing secretly thought that I was not a woman, so how could I be fertilized? He continued, "We killed many of your men, please forgive me." Lan Sha waved his hand and said, "They brought it on themselves.  Yes, but there is one thing I don¡¯t understand. Why did General Qian run away during the first confrontation?  road.  "I see, you must let me see this powerful weapon again someday." Lan Sha said as he walked towards the center of the island with Qian Xiaoxing.  "No problem. If you become our country's navy in the future, this weapon will be available to you." Qian Xiaoxing and his group walked to the large room on the island. Qian Xiaoxing looked around with curiosity. The houses here  They are all thatched huts, and the conditions are quite difficult.  Lan Sha ordered the chef to cook a table of seafood. Everyone sat around the table, looking at the huge lobsters, sea cucumbers and shark's fins on the table. Qian Xiaoxing was so greedy that his mouth watered. These seafood were rarely eaten.  "Sister, go get the good wine." Lan Sha asked Lan Lin to get the wine. Qian Xiaoxing took the bottle and looked at it. When he saw English letters written on it, he exclaimed in surprise: "It's actually foreign wine." Lan Sha  Sha laughed and said: "I robbed this at sea last year. I have been reluctant to drink it. Today I will have a good drink with General Qian." The amber wine was poured into the wine glass, exuding a fragrance. Qian Xiaoxing raised the wine glass.  After smelling it, he said, "It's a good wine, let's drink it. Come on, let's do it!" Everyone raised their glasses happily. After drinking for three rounds, when they got to the main topic, Qian Xiaoxing said: "Leader Lan, I intend to invite you to join me.  "Navy, what do you think?" "My sister has already discussed this with me. If you can kill Lin Jun, I will support you with both hands," Lan Sha said sincerely.  Qian Xiaoxing said happily: "That's great. You will be the first commander of our country's navy. I will fully support you. Give money when you want, and people when you want." When it comes to money, Lan Sha  He said sheepishly: "General Qian is indeed rich. One ship costs three million taels, and there are five merchant ships in total. He is very good." "Haha, you have to support an army. How can you do it without money? These three hundred  Ten thousand taels of silver will be the first funding I allocate to your navy," Qian Xiaoxing said.  Lan Sha nodded secretly. Qian Xiaoxing made the move with three million taels. It seems that there is nothing wrong with hanging out with Qian Xiaoxing. Lan Sha said: "Since General Qian is so generous, I am not stingy. I have also robbed eighty taels in these years."  I will use all of the ten thousand taels of money to fund the navy. "" Leader Lan, aren't you slapping me in the face? Our company has money, so you don't need to pay for it," Qian Xiaoxing said sincerely.  Lan Sha was unhappy when he heard this and said: "This money is my own heart. If you don't accept it, General Qian, you will look down on me!" Lan Lin heard the two people quarreling on the side and advised: "General Qian  , just accept it. As long as we can avenge my parents, we will have people and money to pay." Seeing that Lan Sha was truly sincere, Qian Xiaoxing could no longer refuse, so he had to say: "In this case.  , just lend me the 800,000 taels of silver and leave it here for the time being. " "Okay, as long as you accept it!" Lan Sha is also a straight man, and he felt compatible with Qian Xiaoxing the first time he saw it.  Qian Xiaoxing feels like his own brother.  After the banquet, Lan Sha still wanted to keep Qian Xiaoxing to stay first.At night, before setting off the next day, Qian Xiaoxing told Lan Sha that Lin State was already building warships and that he needed to go back quickly to make arrangements to catch up with Lin State's progress. He couldn't afford to waste time.  After hearing this, Lan Sha also felt that the matter was serious and said: "Okay, in that case, let's set off overnight." Lan Sha was counting the supplies while doing his work. Not everyone is willing to want these pirates to join the army.  Lansha didn't force himself to join. He paid severance pay and arranged for those who didn't want to go. The number of pirates who went was counted at 108.  Hearing this number, Qian Xiaoxing realized that it was a coincidence. There were 108 heroes in the Water Margin back then, and today there are also 108 pirates. They all seemed to be heroes.  Three million taels of silver have been hidden in the cave on the island. The pirates moved them back to the merchant ship, and also moved out Lansha's 800,000 taels and put them on the ship.  It was a blessing in disguise. I originally thought that 3 million taels had been robbed, but now there were 800,000 taels more, which made Qian Xiaoxing feel that things in the world were unpredictable.  One hundred and eight pirates had packed their gear and boarded the big ship in the harbor. There were some small boats towed behind the big ship. After all the personnel and supplies were ready, a total of four big ships began to pull up the sails.  Qian Xiaoxing shouted: "Set the boat!" It was already late at night, and the bright moon rose from the horizon, casting a flash of light on the sea. Lan Sha was very familiar with this sea area, and his big ship was leading the way.  , Qian Xiaoxing's ship followed. According to Lan Sha, they didn't have to take a detour like the merchant ships, so they could sail in a straight line. It was estimated that they would arrive at Si State at the same time as the previous four merchant ships.  Qian Xiaoxing blew the sea breeze and returned to the cabin. He was about to establish a navy. Qian Xiaoxing thought that he should do something for the navy, so he took out a pen and paper, and based on the ancient warships seen in the movie,  Start drawing.  Dozens of cannons were lined up on one side of the ship. The black muzzles made people feel fear. A steel plate was installed on the head of the warship, and a long steel rod stretched out. Even if there was no need for cannon fire, it would still be hit.  It can also smash enemy ships.  Under the stern, there is a propeller, and the propeller is driven by a steam engine. In this way, the warship has its own power and can sail quickly when there is no wind.  Qian Xiaoxing has finished drawing these and is very much looking forward to it. With Lan Sha and the others¡¯ sailing experience and the warship designed in this way, there is no reason why they will lose to Lin Guo¡¯s navy!
