"Fire" The rotating two-inch artillery on a Qin armed merchant ship fired rapidly
"Bang" shells whizzed out and hit a pirate wooden ship in the distance that was approaching another armed merchant ship of Qin State
A group of large armed merchant ships of the Qin State suddenly kept sailing at night and found the attack of pirate ships. The armed merchant ships of the Qin State quickly adjusted their plans and began to deal with them.
Once an armed merchant ship finds a special situation, it will fire a red signal flare to call for help, and then other armed merchant ships will enter high alert, and then the armed merchant ships will use simple and simple light words. Communication, but the radio is still extremely unstable at this time, and armed merchant ships cannot be equipped with radio equipment, because that thing is too expensive for armed merchant ships, so they are not equipped with radios. In order to solve this problem, they used the simple communication method of lamp language
However, light language communication is more troublesome because Qin State communicates according to the general code book of Qin State Telegram, which requires extremely cumbersome translation work, but this kind of communication must be used because people cannot complete combat missions by shouting, and this shouting is on the battlefield. It is not of much practical use because the sound cannot be transmitted to the opposite ship.
"Close to Strafing" interpreter puts four simple orders into the captain's hands
"Okay, our No. [-] ship is going to approach and shoot the water pirates on the opposite side." The captain gave an order. In fact, when a ship of Qin State opened fire with a rotating artillery, another armed merchant ship of Qin State had already been boarded by water pirates. Not enough, the captain immediately issued an order to close all the cabin doors. This order was issued through the communication tube to all the crew members to immediately evacuate the deck and enter the cabin to escape. Qin's armed merchant ships are protected by thick iron plates outside. This iron plate can be effective. Resisting the shooting of machine gun bullets also has this characteristic. The armed merchant ships of the Qin State have formulated a special plan to deal with water pirates boarding the ship. The attacked armed merchant ships immediately take effective measures to avoid personnel and then send out signals. When repeated drills were conducted, it was found that the message sent by the complex universal code was very long, so the armed merchant ship compiled it, but the message was still sent in a large volume, but it was enough
The armed merchant ship number four immediately approached and fired at the attacked armed merchant ship
"Come on, brothers, grab this Qin State iron ship and let's send it out." Qin State's armed merchant ships have adopted relatively cheap iron armor welding technology. Advantages Because the cost is low, a large number of ships can be manufactured, and this kind of technical requirements can be quickly built. Why can Qin State manufacture a large number of flat-bottomed armed merchant ships in a relatively short period of time? In fact, this kind of iron armored armed merchant ships is very easy to weld. Steel is somewhat difficult to weld, but iron armor is very easy to weld. Iron armor can be welded directly, but steel needs to be added with a specific combustion aid, which is somewhat expensive. For shipbuilding, this also means that the price of the ship is high and The manufacturing cost of the iron armor is only one-third of the price of steel. This cost advantage is equivalent to building a steel armored ship for an armed force, which is equivalent to three iron armored ships. Therefore, the iron armored flat-bottomed fleet is a kind for Qin. extremely useful boat
"Bang bang" bullets fired continuously
"Puff" machine gun bullets penetrated the body and smashed the water pirate's body, and then the splashed blood mist looked unexpectedly red under the illumination of the searchlight, that very bright red.
The armed merchant ships of the State of Qin are equipped with some searchlights. These searchlights are specially used for night patrols to guard against water robbers and sneak attacks. At the same time, countless flares are fired in the sky. These face flares illuminate the night like daytime under the reflection of the river surface.
"Marine Corps Ready" A naval sergeant is holding a rear-pull rotary rifle. The rifle has a bayonet inserted. They will use the rope to climb up to the opposite ship to clear the water pirates or use the rifle in their hands to kill those water pirates who are trying to be miserable. Pirate kill
"Bang bang" "fire and shoot" the sergeant yelled loudly
Machine guns and rifles fired continuously. The water pirates who had just climbed onto the armed merchant ship of the Qin State had just realized that the searchlights were shining, and they were shot down by bursting shots.
"Teach these grandsons a good lesson" After the shooting stopped, the crew members who took shelter temporarily rushed out with weapons and killed the wounded water pirates, and then threw their bodies into the water. drift away immediately
In other respects, the killing of Qin's armed merchant ships is still not over. The water pirates are planning to take their actions. They will take the amount ahead of time to ambush them, then sneak up at night and use a kind of barb, this barb and an iron anchor. It's like hooking and then quickly climbing onto the ship. This formed a boarding tactic, but they didn't expect that the group searchlights of Qin's armed merchant ships discovered this tactic and adopted a tactic they didn't even think of to solve it.
After the discovery, the armed merchant ships of the Qin State fired countless flares for illumination according to the pre-rehearsal, and even illuminated the small boats that were quickly closing in an ambush. Then the armed merchant ships of the Qin State took more severe measures to retaliate against the water pirates.
"Use the machine gun to shoot those small boats and wipe them all out for me" Almost at the same time, all the captains gave such orders
And the crew of the Qin State, the Marine Corps soldiers also stood on the deck, holding their rifles and shooting calmly, as if they were shooting targets on the river.
"I'm afraid you have never seen such a disgusting scene in your life." A crew member recalled the situation at that time
"All of us, even the guys who helped us with the cooking, came up on deck with shotguns and we were hunting while the pirate ships and the overboard pirates floated helplessly on the water and we started killed our own
"We use our rifles to keep shooting at the targets on the ship, because we only need to aim at the general direction of the ship and they have limited places to hide. My marksmanship is terrible, so I just aim at those ship targets."
"With a single shot, I hit a water pirate. I saw that water pirate fall not far away. I shot him in the chest. I was lucky enough to hit him. The bullet passed through his chest at a high speed and then splashed across the rest of the body. I can see the blood fog clearly under the illumination of flares and searchlights."
"Soon everyone on board realized the danger, and they started jumping off the boat. The whole boat was full of dead bodies. We killed all of them. The most terrible thing was the machine gun. Those who hit the whole boat would die."
"Blooded limbs and internal organs that broke the human belly are all over the boat. I am very disgusted"
"These people who jumped off the boat tried to run for their lives. We hated these people. We are all fishermen on the Yangtze River. We have a good life to come out and run the boat. But these water pirates often kill us. We are so There is no way to do it, we want to survive, there is really no way for us"
"We didn't let any of the water pirates who jumped into the water go. We kept shooting, especially the guy who was cooking next to me, with a shotgun, opened the head of a water thief who had just surfaced and spent it all over the water on the spot. The floating scene is really disgusting.”
The crew's memories are still long, but it undoubtedly proves from the side that it was an extremely bloody night. With the help of flares and searchlights, the crew finally found corpses, severed limbs and dragged internal organs floating everywhere on the river, and the entire river became a mess. red

Qin's armed merchant ships are very resolute in attacking water pirates. From Qin's methods of dealing with water pirates, it can be seen that Qin's armed merchant fleet does not have any favor or sympathy for water pirates. This attitude is extremely firm, because these water pirates have seriously hindered Qin's foreign commerce and trade. From this point of view, it has hurt the interests of Qin's merchant class, and the price of harming the interests of the merchant class is very heavy. For example, the Mohists.
"Pfft" On the road from South Korea to the arms trade in Qi State, a sharp bronze sword cut through the throat of a smuggling security guard at a very fast speed
"嗤嗤" blood spurted from the security guard's throat
"It's not good, someone shoots!" The alert other security guards noticed the anomaly and began to pull the bolt and shoot around. They tried to expel their inner anxiety by shooting wildly with the weapons in their hands.
The security guards finally calmed down after a burst of shooting
"Everyone stop," a leader shouted loudly. People put down their guns, but others are still vigilantly checking their surroundings.
"How is it?" a big black beard asked loudly
"A sword in the throat," said the leader, examining the wound
"Don't look at it, bury it, it must be done by the Mo family," said the big black beard
"As long as it wasn't done by bandits, our cargo is important." The group buried the body and they were on their way again.
As the men walked away two white figures flashed out of hiding
"These people," said a female voice dissatisfied
"Oh," replied a male voice
This kind of thing happened in South Korea, and this kind of thing happened many times. At the beginning, the South Korean government tried its best to conceal the matter because many people died on this commercial road, and the official dealt with it in an attitude of making big things into small things.
The South Korean government didn't pay much attention to it, because people often died on this commercial road due to robbery or other reasons, so there were more bones buried along the roadside. At this time, the population density was far from that of later generations, and many places were still undeveloped wild lands. There are still many wild wolves infested. These wild wolves gradually discovered that there is a potential source of food on this trade route. The food is the bones of these killed people.
These wild wolves don't have to go to great lengths to hunt and kill their prey, but just use their noses to check the new soil around the road. There are often bones of buried people there. They use their claws to dig out these bones and eat them. The businessmen who pass by often hear wolves howling at night and see a large number of white human bones or wolves bitten by the side of the road during the day. Believe in another force in nature
"These are ghosts," an old man running away introduced to a new novice, and the novice looked at the bones on both sides of the road in horror, wondering if he would be like this one day
Because the people on the road are very boring, it is true that people are busy on the road, and no one wants to talk much. In fact, there is nothing to say. In addition, people miss their hometown very much at night. People have to leave home, so people start to follow the daytime routine. What I saw and heard, plus some extravagant rhetoric and rich personal imagination, compiled some ghost stories. These stories gradually spread to Xinzheng in South Korea. These ghost stories quickly spread to other countries through short stories.
The reporters from Qin State smelled some abnormal news materials, they actively visited these materials, and then sorted them out for publication. Gradually, the reporters began to discover the abnormalities of this business route.
"This commercial route is an important channel connecting Qin and South Korea to the commercial trade of Qi. This channel has a lot of people coming and going, but they always go together because if they go alone, they are easy to be attacked by ghosts."
"And these so-called ghost attacks are actually man-made attacks. Our reporter has personally experienced the hardships of this business route."
"We have encountered many disasters along the way. The biggest threat to these merchants is armed robbers and criminals. They will rob other merchants' goods just to get a higher price for their own goods. This kind of commercial attack method is too rare in Qin State, and this kind of influence is too bad."
"We journalists experienced such a robbery firsthand"
"A group of Korean businessmen in business clothes took their weapons and robbed us of our belongings. Although we had weapons, they were lying in an ambush on purpose. We surrendered after many casualties and then these people rushed out and shouted at us"
"Drop your arms and we won't kill"
"They yelled so we had no choice but to follow suit"
"They won't hurt our lives but they took all the goods of this group of merchants or destroyed them on the spot and then they walked away without taking our weapons"
"Obviously their clothes and behavior reveal that they are also businessmen. This is vicious competition among peers."
"Worse things are still happening on this trade route. There are also criminals who specialize in robbery. Their composition is very chaotic. There are fallen nobles who have ruined all industries without any source of income. They can only lead their own men to do it. This is a no-cost transaction," a reporter from Qin State wrote in the report. This is probably the earliest no-cost transaction used by Qin State.
