Chapter 30: Landing on Ghost Island
In a certain area of the East China Sea, on a pirate with an area of a quarter of Chang'an City, Nishimoto Hiranoro, known as the wolf of the East China Sea, is having fun with a group of captured women ** in his stockade at the moment. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
When he and the girls were finished, the attendant who was already waiting outside the door knocked on the door.
"What's the matter?" because of the relationship that just ended, Nishimoto was in a good mood, and if it was usual, he would be swearing when he spoke.
The attendant didn't come in, but his tone was full of joy: "The second master of Inoue has a flying pigeon to pass the book." ”
"Oh!" Nishimoto's spirit suddenly perked, he knew that Inoue had been sent out by himself three days ago to fight the autumn wind, and he was very careful, under normal circumstances, he would not fly the pigeon directly back to the base, because this is a dangerous behavior. Since he had letters, there must have been something good.
"What did the letter say?"
"He said that he had intercepted a merchant ship from Youzhou in the Tang Dynasty bound for our Ryukyus in the vicinity, laden with cargo of an innumerable value, and worth one-half of all our previous income. ”
"Half!" exclaimed Symmoto, jumping up from his bed.
Of course, he knew how much wealth he had, and how difficult it was to get it back, but the value of this merchant ship was half of his wealth!
"Babbling like a! Say something at once! What the hell is going on!"
"But the combat effectiveness of the merchant ship is very strong, the sailors are all from the army, and the combat effectiveness is unusually high, and the two leaders of Inoue fought for a long time, and they failed to take the merchant ship on the other side, but they did not dare to destroy the ship too strongly. Now that their situation is deadlocked, in the nearby seas, he says that if you send your special strike team, you will definitely be able to take down the ship immediately. ”
Nishimoto's special attack team was composed of all his fellow villagers who had been with him when he left the village, and they were the few samurai in the village at the beginning, and some of them were fellow villagers in the vicinity, all of whom believed in the spirit of bushido and were very brave.
At this moment, Nishimoto was already carried away by wealth, and he shouted, "Then what are you waiting for?!
"But don't you leave anyone to look after the house, in case those slaves ......"
When he said this, Xiben remembered that there were still more than fifty young and strong slaves on the island, so he said: "You are right, which team is on duty today, let them watch the house, and give me the rest to go to the Tianxiang immediately!"
The Tianxiang is the pride of Nishimoto Hiranoro, which was snatched by the previous bandits from the navy at a great cost, and after the previous bandits were replaced by him, it was naturally his. It was a medium-sized ship, with an unusually strong hull and extremely fast speed, which had been modified to be very suitable for combat, and had always been his flagship, and he had four large ships in total, and this was one of them, and Inoue had taken the other three, and most of the rest were spare small boats.
It didn't take long for Xiben's men to assemble, and when they heard of the riches of the country, everyone was red-eyed, so they set off very quickly, and in the blink of an eye the ship was gone.
A total of thirteen members of the four teams left behind were left behind to take care of the house, and the team was called Umegawa Delong, and at this moment he watched the Tianxiang disappear from his field of vision, so he spat fiercely, and was very dissatisfied. He knew that although the boss of Xiben would account for the majority of the harvest, the remaining wealth would be a lot of wealth when divided equally, and it was estimated that there would not be much that they could get, and they would definitely be divided up by those guys before they arrived.
But there really can't be helped, the slaves on the island have been thinking about escaping, and there must be a team of people to suppress them, who wants to get their own team to be on duty today. He couldn't find an outlet for his anger, and when he turned around, he noticed that his team member Togo Heihachiro was yawning, sleepy-eyed, and the others mostly had angry or helpless expressions, so he asked curiously: "Togo, don't you covet them at all?"
Dongxiang thought for a moment and said, "What are you doing with them? What's the use of having too much money? At the moment, I only miss my hometown, and I really don't like the life of being adrift on the sea all year round." ”
Mei Chuan shook his head, when it comes to homesickness, who doesn't want to, but when it comes to not being greedy for money, this Dongxiang is a weirdo, he usually doesn't like to socialize with people, and he cowers when he fights, so he gets angry when he sees it.
"Hey, Dongxiang, we'll go to rest, and I'll leave the slave matter to you. ”
If it was someone else, he would have called out dissatisfiedly at this moment, but Dongxiang didn't react at all, just nodded.
Seeing this scene, Nishimoto went back to sleep with the team.
When Nishimoto and his team returned to the station, in a sea area that was not easy to notice, a small ship slowly approached the back sea of Oni Island, where it was not easy to attract attention, although there was a guard post, but at this moment, the fourth team in charge of the post had already fallen asleep, who would have thought that someone would land on this island.
Twenty people led by Ye Sanlang and Bai Lingfeng were on the boat, and the other eighteen people were water bandits who had changed their minds, they were originally the people of the Tang Dynasty, and after being robbed by the water bandits, there were usually only two choices, one was to join the water bandits and become one of their lowest members, but they were not allowed to rebel, otherwise they would end up very miserable;
After getting the promise of the Tang Dynasty Inspector Yushi, some sailors who were originally loyal to the Tang Dynasty began to break away from the water bandits, among which the eighteen people who were the most warlike in battle, after listening to Bai Lingfeng's advice, volunteered to come with them, considering that they were already familiar with the terrain and the details therein, Ye Sanlang agreed.
Now the place where they landed is a forest behind Ghost Island, there are almost no people, Ye Saburo made a rough investigation, and found no trace of anyone, so he got off the boat with everyone and hid in the forest.
After spending a little time, Ye Saburo basically grasped the current situation on Ghost Island, and there was a large camp on the front of the island, which was the station of all the water bandits. Xiben's private territory is relatively large, and the house is close to the cave in the mountain, no one is allowed to approach, and the other leaders also have a lot of territory, and the low-ranking members can barely have a tent. In addition, at this moment there are more than fifty young and strong laborers on the island, who are locked up in another cave and guarded by special personnel, these people are usually the free labor of the water bandits, and the guards never go out to sea to fight, but the pay is considerable, usually by the cronies of the leader. In addition, there were more than forty young women, of which fourteen were from Nishimoto, and the others were all leaders, and these women were basically snatched from the coastal villages, most of them were young and beautiful, after all, it was impossible to catch the ugly. Another point that caught his attention, that is, there were no old people and children on the island, he asked Liu Feihu, who was the leader of the eighteen people, only to learn that there had never been an old man on the island, except for the children of a few leaders, the other children would be thrown into the sea to feed the fish once they were born.
Hearing this, Ye Sanlang's heart became nameless, not to mention the attack on the coastal villages, but also robbed people's girls, arrested people's husbands, and killed children. Such people, he couldn't wait to kill them all, if it weren't for Bai Lingfeng's plan, he would have killed them directly.
