The following evening, Chen Hai, accompanied by several fishermen, greeted Song Chengjian and headed towards the direction where the Dong people were.
Even though Song Chengjian said, "Rest assured, Chen Hai can handle things..."
But the people of Nanyue and the Japanese were fierce, and none of them possessed martial arts skills, so Song Chengjian was still uneasy...
Have the eighth and ninth brothers take the newly made explosives and follow at a distance...
in case.
The approach of Chen Hai and his group would also divert the attention of the Southern Yue people and the Japanese from the shore.
The remaining fishermen watched as the wooden planks, made according to Young Master Wu's specifications, were joined together piece by piece...
Like a giant wooden toy, perfectly assembled...
It was truly breathtaking.
I witnessed firsthand how the giant ship was built, bit by bit...
The fishermen and their wives were so shocked that their eyes widened and their mouths gaped open.
Upon seeing this, the Song brothers felt a surge of pride.
The tenth brother took a break and came out of the fourth brother's room.
Seeing the fishermen's astonishment, he explained with a smile:
"It's as if there's a finely rotating machine in my five minds..."
Everything we need, including the dimensions, has been calculated!
The result was flawless.
Hearing Lao Shi's explanation, the fishermen and their wives' admiration for Lao Wu deepened even further.
Following Song Chengjian's instructions, each household lit lamps in their courtyards and assembled boats, relying solely on the moonlight and the firelight within their yards...
To prevent the Nanyue people and Japanese from observing from the shadows and discovering anything unusual.
After the boat was assembled, Lao Wu and the fishermen immediately pushed the large boat into the water...
On the second brother's side, the iron arrowheads have been assembled.
During the day, he had already produced a certain amount of explosives.
Unlike in the past, the power of this explosive is greater than ever before.
After all, the focus used to be on deterrence and self-defense, but this time...
They have no intention of leaving the other side a way out!
On Lao Qi's side, after repeated adjustments, the skin dye has been prepared...
Furthermore, after testing the application on my wrist and several other fisherwomen's wrists, there were no adverse reactions...
The painted skin tone is almost indistinguishable from the real thing.
The fisherwomen went out to sea for two consecutive days, frying several buckets of small fish and drying several buckets of oyster and clam meat.
The fisherwomen steamed the remaining sweet potatoes, wrapped them in cotton cloth, and carried them onto the boat...
After the large ship sailed for a while and confirmed that its draft was normal, it was ready to set sail...
Chen Hai and the fishermen returned safely.
Overjoyed, they shared the information they had gathered with the Song brothers.
Upon hearing this, the Song family's eyes lit up.
Indeed, it is a "good place".
Everything is ready, everyone board the ship...
Chen Hai and his entourage then learned that Song Chengjian had sent his two younger brothers to accompany him and provide protection...
He was even more grateful and gestured to Song Chengjian, but he didn't say anything.
Under the cover of night, Lao Qi boarded the boat and personally helped all the fishermen apply the dye.
After everyone tied their headscarves, they did indeed resemble, to some extent, the skin color and clothing characteristics of the people from the foreign lands of Yiyu and Java as described by Jiang Xinyu.
Even if there was no intention to spare a single person from the Southern Yue or the Japanese...
But just in case, Song Chengjian still planned to keep his whereabouts hidden.
After all, they are stationed on the shore, where the elderly, women, and children live...
If any fish manage to escape, they could face endless trouble.
The fishermen obediently accepted Lao Qi's smearing...
Only after everyone had changed their appearance did they realize what Song Chengjian's original plan had been.
No one paid any attention; they hadn't been informed beforehand...
On the contrary, because Song Chengjian had considered things so thoroughly, everyone's last bit of concern was completely dispelled.
In this battle, Song Chengjian was determined to win, so he left no room for error.
The seventh brother was weaker, so he and the tenth brother were left behind to take care of the eldest brother and the tenth brother, respectively.
The second brother left each of them a certain amount of powerful explosives, just in case, to hold them off for a while.
Song Chengjian suggested that Niu Erhua take the fisherwoman and children to hide in the temple for safety.
The temple has remained untouched by bandits or attacks from various factions on the island for many years...
This indicates that various factions still harbor some fear towards the temple, the Chiang family behind it, and other supporting families.
The rest of the fisherwomen all boarded the boat with Song Chengjian.
Beforehand, Song Chengjian had Lao Ba and his men find out the locations where the ships that the Nanyue people and Japanese were robbing at sea were anchored...
This time, Chen Hai went to the Dong people to confirm the boat's docking location once again.
Under the cover of night, the newly built ship, like a giant sea fish, glided across the surface of the ocean and gradually sailed away...
