In 1930, when Shen Yanzhou opened his eyes, he saw a corpse, steel knives on the ground, and more than a hundred pirates preparing to break up and run away.
And he became the designated heir of "Master Shark" who had just died of illness.
There is only enough food on the island for twenty days, the ship is broken, the people are scattered, and there are Red Reef pirates, local warlords and Japanese trading companies looking at them outside.
Everyone was waiting to see how this sixteen-year-old boy would be chopped up and fed to the fish.
From then on, pirates no longer relied solely on robbery to survive.
They salvaged sunken ships, repaired and built ships, trained orphans, set up radio stations, and formed convoys.
The copper material in the sunken ship formed the skeleton of the shipyard; the missing gold revealed the warlord's traitorous secret accounts; the forgotten arms gave Black Shark Island its first cannon.
When a Japanese trading company sent a radio and smiled and invited him to cooperate, Shen Yanzhou just accepted the gift, turned around, and monitored the other party's secret route.
"Want to buy my mooring rights?"
"Okay."
"But you have to ask first if this sea will answer."
From pirate dens to offshore factories, from a group of outlaws to civilian fleets——
What Shen Yanzhou wants to do is not to dominate the sea, but to protect a way for the coastal people to survive before the war reaches home.
This time, he will use the wealth in the sunken ship to build a trade union that does not belong to warlords or obey orders, but only fights to protect the mountains, rivers and the people——
Great Wall on the Sea.
