Chapter 16 Tonggong Port
The password? How can you even know how to ask for the password? Everyone was stunned all of a sudden.
Although it has just passed the Mid-Autumn Festival, the password of the Japanese pirates will not be something like the jade rabbit Chang'e, right? Just when everyone didn't know what to do, Su Yong whispered, "Open the flap."
Several sailors immediately lifted the wooden clamshell on the top, revealing the Japanese clothes worn by everyone in the moonlight. This entrance is just the place where the bright moon can shine. It is impossible for such a large group of crew members in Japanese costume to see the sentry high on the shore not far away.
As soon as the lid was opened, Su Yong asked several people to stand on the edge of the boat and whispered to the translator sergeant, "Just say to him, 'Fuck, are you tired of asking every day? Are Yanlong people still living the Mid-Autumn Festival? Can you still come here to party with us?' Remember, there should be a little smile in your words, and finally laugh twice, and everyone will also laugh and cooperate.
As soon as the translator sergeant heard it, he immediately translated it out loud, but the forced smile in the words seemed to tremble. Fortunately, when everyone waited for his words to fall, they immediately laughed and covered the trembling.
The sentry on the shore was stunned, and then he didn't know what to say with a smile, and then laughed.
Everyone was relieved.
"What did he say?" Su Yong frowned again and asked.
"The other party said, number eight, sixteen lines." The translator also frowned.
Su Yong looked at Ah Shui and Ah Shui: "It may be the location number of the moored port."
"Hm, everyone, slow down and go in and have a look all the way." Su Yong whispered and asked Ah Shui to sign the ship behind him to follow.
At present, all six ships slowed down and slowly entered the harbor with the front one.
Under the clear lights, all the ships were moored very neatly in the circular harbor.
"Look over there." Su Yong pointed to the shore of the port nearly 100 meters ahead. Everyone looked up and saw that large numbers were marked on the boards on the shore, and there seemed to be a small number below. The ships that have been moored form a long queue along this piece of board.
After approaching and taking a closer look, I soon found the big sign marked with eight characters, followed this line, and then found the position of the sixteenth line. Six ships were soon moored.
Learning from the appearance of the ships next to them, they were also the first to dock on the shore, with cables tied to a short wooden stake under the sign, and the other side was connected to the tail of the previous ship with a cable.
I waited nervously for a moment, but no one came to talk to me. Although the lights are bright on the port, and there are many Japanese pirates dressed as ronin walking around, it is obvious that they all care about themselves and even look at them lazily.
They looked around carefully, and there were a lot of boats next to them. Just look at the water level at the bottom of the boat. Obviously, some people stayed in the cabin, and not everyone went ashore.
This situation made Su Yong relieved. Everyone, have a good rest. If you should drink water and eat, hurry up and adjust your state. After everything is ready, stay in the cabin and wait for orders.
He looked at Ah Shui again: "You pick a few sailors to go ashore with me. You should be shorter and move smartly." Just now, he has noticed the short Japanese dressed as the ronin on the shore. Sure enough, they are shorter than the Yanlong people on average. If a small group of people go ashore, a large group of people are obviously higher than others, which is also quite eye-catching.
Seven or eight water soldiers were quickly picked out. These water soldiers are all southerners. Naturally, they will not faint. They look quite energetic. In addition, their faces are a little dark, but they are not far from the appearance of these pirates and pirates.
After taking the translator soldiers, Su Yong turned around and said to another sailor in charge of the rest of the personnel: "Arrange everyone to have a good rest and don't go ashore. If there is any accidental harassment, just pretend to sleep to death, and we will be back soon. It was late at night, and it was time to rest long ago. It was normal to fall asleep after a long journey.
Walking to the port, I saw that there were only about hundreds of Japanese pirates coming and going. It seemed that most of them had fallen asleep. But in this circular harbor, there are still countless lanterns arranged, illuminating the water and mountains near the shore.
The center of the port is facing the entrance. There are three relatively large buildings, which are estimated to be the central control point here in the port. Although there are no guards at the door, the lights inside are brighter, and there are voices from afar, as if they are fighting for something.
"Let's go east first." Su Yong observed carefully and saw that most people on the road were going eastward. He thought that he would follow the flow of people. At this time, he was really like a blind fly. Maybe there are still people staring at him in the dark. God knows that the hilltop sentry hidden in the dark has doubted him before.
According to the layout of the port here, the place where important materials are hidden must be in those houses. Even if it is not, it will not be too far away. After all, it is impossible for them to hide the things that are about to be transported and stolen in half of the mountain. Isn't it moving around?
But depending on the harbor, there are at least hundreds of ships. According to 100 people per ship, it is nearly 10,000 people. With less than a thousand people entering here, it is a real tiger's den. So now, they are not in a hurry to find where to hide things, but to understand the specific terrain of the island, the arrangement of the other party's troops, and then send out the information to inform the incoming troops in order to create a siege.
In particular, outside the coconut forest on the east side of Causeway Island is a white water area. This should be informed of the fleet coming from the ocean as soon as possible, otherwise no matter how many people come, if they enter the turbulence, it will be a dead end.
Going east, as long as you bypass the mountain path of most of the mountain range, you can reach the coconut forest in the east, which is in line with the practice of first replenishing water from the ocean. So at this moment, in addition to them, most of them are Japanese who have just landed from the ship, and many of them are still carrying big bags in their hands.
The big bag is obviously used to hold coconuts, but it's such a long way. Can these short Japanese still carry a big bag of coconuts back? Su Yong couldn't help wondering.
When they walked out of two or three miles, the answer was immediately answered. It turned out that there was no need to bypass the long mountain road to replenish fresh water. Only at a corner of the port road, they saw a simple wooden shed on the roadside full of coconuts. Some Japanese pirates are still bargaining with a guy in charge of buying and selling.
Fuck, the supporting facilities here are quite complete, but it really looks like a port. The person in charge of trading may not need to be a pirate. He is a professional coconut seller. Just pull the big wooden cars next to the shed to the coconut grove every day.
Buying coconut here also provides car rental services. Of course, there is no door-to-door delivery, and you have to pull it back by yourself. No wonder the group in front of them packed themselves with big bags.
They didn't have any tools in their hands. They just looked at the shed for a moment and wanted to move on. At this time, the businessman who bought and sold coconuts suddenly poked his head and shouted something at them.
"What's the matter?" Su Yong asked in a low voice.
"He said that General Chiye ordered to be under martial law at the end of the coconut forest at night. He can't go to pick coconuts, so he can only buy it from him." Translate the whisper.
Su Yong thought for a moment and whispered, "You told him that we didn't go to pick coconuts, we just walked around."
The translator said loudly that the businessman hummed when he saw that the business could not be done and no longer paid attention to them.
"I'm going to explore the coconut forest, and you can turn back later." Seeing that the light in front of him had darkened, Su Yong whispered to the waterway. Going further is a fork in the road, and going up is a mountain road across the mountains, which will reach the coconut grove. The one below is still the roundabout of the round bay.
Before the white water area on the other side, they had seen that the coconut grove was dark, and they didn't know what they were doing. It's not good for more people to go in such an environment. Ah Shui and others also knew General Su's ability and nodded in agreement.
At this moment, a group of them are also wearing Japanese clothes, holding a long knife in their hands, but they also look like ronin. Naturally, no one has any doubts about walking on the bay. What's more, there are few pedestrians here.
Not long after, the businessman who began to close the stall saw that the previous group of prodigalers turned back and snorted again. But of course, he didn't notice that one was missing in the team.
And Su Yong has already embarked on the uninhabited mountain road at this moment. Seeing that there was no one in the wild, he rushed into the forest and pulled off the white clothes on his body, revealing the tight black clothes inside.
He made a ball of white clothes and carefully hid them under a rock. He staggered the mountain road and jumped a few times in the forest. He had already climbed over the mountain beams and saw the faint coconut forest under the bright moon below.
